Grace of Rebirth! Dugu Yan Kneels! Yu Xiaogang Is Shocked!

"Yan'er." Gu Nian looked at Dugu Yan. "This item has an extremely deep connection to you. Take it immediately and refine it on the spot. Do not hesitate."

Dugu Yan froze for a moment.

"Master, this..."

She could sense the terrifying energy contained within that drop of blood. Precisely because of that, she felt it should be offered to her master.

Gu Nian saw through her thoughts and slowly spoke. His voice passed through the Sky Screen, ringing in everyone's ears.

"You only know that Douluo Continent has Deities and God Kings, yet you do not know that beyond God Kings lies another realm."

"God Kings are also bound by the world's planes."

"And above the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, there exist Supreme Saints who have long transcended the limits of planes."

"Their power involves Creation. Their words become law. With a single thought, they can create worlds; with another, they can destroy the cosmic torrent."

"Nuwa is one such existence."

"This drop of Essence Blood is not Divine Blood, but Saint Blood. Its value far surpasses every Divine Artifact and Spirit Bone within your understanding."

Gu Nian's words were like bolts of thunder exploding in the minds of every Strong person on Douluo Continent!

Above God Kings?

Supreme Saints?

Creating worlds? Destroying universes?

This had completely surpassed the bounds of their comprehension!

Nuoding City, Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched as he instinctively wanted to refute him.

"What utter nonsense..."

He muttered under his breath. Nuwa, Supreme Saints—he had studied martial spirits for decades and scoured ancient texts, yet had never heard of them.

This Gu Nian was putting on airs again!

But he had ultimately learned his lesson.

The Iron Rule concerning the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor still rang in his ears, and the slap mark on his face seemed to ache faintly.

This time, he only muttered a few words and did not dare declare anything aloud.

Tang San, standing nearby, furrowed his brows tightly as well.

As a transmigrator, his knowledge far surpassed that of people in this world.

Yet even in his memories, there had never been any information about "Nuwa."

This was an utterly unfamiliar existence, yet one Gu Nian had bestowed with the highest possible title.

Could it be...

A thought that chilled Tang San to the bone rose in his heart.

Could Gu Nian, like me, also come from another world?

A world grander and more powerful than my previous life?

He stared at Gu Nian's Calm and Collected figure within the Sky Screen, and for the first time, doubt arose in his heart.

The Tang Sect's secret arts he had been so proud of, along with the memories of his previous life, might perhaps... be utterly insignificant before this man.

Just what kind of existence was he?

Sunset Forest, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

After hearing Gu Nian's explanation, Dugu Yan no longer hesitated in the slightest.

Her master's words were truth.

She respectfully bowed to Gu Nian, then parted her cherry lips and gently drew that drop of Seven-Colored Glaze-like "Nuwa's Essence Blood" into her mouth.

The Essence Blood entered her mouth and instantly transformed into a vast, boundless warm current that surged toward her limbs and bones!

Boom!

Seven-colored divine light erupted from Dugu Yan's body and shot into the sky, even more dazzling than the pillar of light from the Golden Ranking's previous reward!

Her seated body slowly floated into mid-air.

"Ah..."

A suppressed cry of pain escaped her lips.

Layer after layer of black, viscous fluid began seeping from the surface of her skin.

This was Marrow Cleansing!

Using the supreme Source of Life to reshape a mortal body!

"!!!"

Dugu Bo watched from the side, his heart pounding wildly, yet he did not dare make the slightest move. He could only clench his fists nervously.

As the black fluid was evaporated by the divine light, Dugu Yan's skin began to take on an unprecedented luster.

It was not mere whiteness, but a warm, jade-like texture that contained divine radiance within.

Under the washing of the divine light, her features also began to undergo subtle yet astonishing changes.

Her brows and eyes gained an added measure of divine majesty, her nose became even more refined, and her lips became as perfect as if sculpted by heaven itself.

Her originally peerless beauty was now transforming toward the level of a divine countenance!

Her long emerald green hair grew wildly amid the light, cascading down to her ankles. At the tips of her hair, faint seven-colored streams of light flickered.

Even more astonishing was the Jade Phosphorous Medusa phantom behind her!

That previously somewhat illusory Deity shadow was now solidifying at a visible rate!

Every scale on its serpent tail became clearly defined, shining with an immortal radiance.

Within those indifferent Golden Vertical Pupils, it seemed as though the birth and death of Stars and the cycles of the universe were reflected!

A pressure originating from the Bloodline Apex spread out with a roar!

This pressure no longer targeted only serpent-type martial spirits.

Within Sunset Forest, regardless of what kind of Spirit Beast it was, whether bird or beast, all of them prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling as they offered their humblest reverence toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

As if worshipping a... creator god!

A long while later.

When the seven-colored divine light that soared into the heavens gradually receded and completely entered Dugu Yan's body.

She finally opened her eyes in mid-air.

What kind of eyes were those!

Her original Golden Vertical Pupils remained, yet in the deepest part of them seemed to be hidden a brilliant seven-colored nebula.

At a single glance, majesty and compassion coexisted, divinity and humanity intertwined!

She felt the vast power endlessly surging within her body and sensed that her life level had already been Transformed. The shock in her eyes was beyond measure.

She slowly descended from mid-air.

The moment her feet touched the ground, she did not pause in the slightest.

Facing Gu Nian, her knees gave way, and she dropped straight to the ground.

In an incomparably formal full prostration, her forehead struck the ground heavily.

"Master, thank you for the Grace of Rebirth!"

Dugu Yan's voice was slightly Choked Up, yet it spread with absolute clarity across the entire Douluo Continent.

"Yan'er... will never forget it for all eternity!"

Dugu Yan's voice echoed through every corner of the continent via the Sky Screen.

That heavy kowtow seemed to strike every person's heart.

Grace of Rebirth!

How weighty were those four words!

Gu Nian's expression remained calm as he raised a hand in a virtual gesture of support.

A gentle force appeared from nowhere and slowly lifted Dugu Yan's body.

"Rise."

"Since you have entered under my tutelage, this is your opportunity."

"..."

His voice was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger, yet it carried an air of As It Should Be.

As though all this had been no more than a casual effort.

Dugu Yan rose to her feet and stood with her head lowered at one side, her posture more respectful than ever before.

The pressure originating from Nuwa's Saint Blood had completely receded from her body, but the extraordinary, otherworldly divine aura in her every gesture could no longer be concealed.

At that moment, the Golden Ranking image in the Sky Vault slowly faded away.

Dugu Yan's figure and name were completely fixed in Seventh Place.

Across the continent, after a stretch of Dead Silence came an even more violent uproar.

"Did you see that? Seventh Place's reward was actually 'Nuwa's Essence Blood'!"

"The blood of a Supreme Saint above God Kings... it is hundreds, even thousands of times more precious than a Divine Artifact!"

"!!!"
