Fifth on the Golden Ranking! Sea God's Trident?!!

A bitter smile involuntarily escaped Gu Yuena's lips.

Energy doubled...

If you were still here, this would absolutely be a supreme treasure.

But now, to me, it's nothing but a burden.

It only makes me... miss you more.

Buzz--!

Just then, the rewards from the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking had completely descended.

The majestic and boundless divine power completely integrated into Gu Yuena's limbs and bones.

In an instant, ten thousand feet of silver light erupted from her body, stirring the wind and clouds of the nine heavens!

Her waist-length silver hair, unbound by the wind, danced wildly like the Milky Way, each strand shimmering with divine radiance.

Her silver gown, agitated by the divine power, clung tightly to her flawless, delicate body, outlining her breathtaking curves to perfection.

Especially beneath the hem of the skirt, her long, slender jade legs, with skin whiter than snow and smooth as jade, seemed like the most perfect work of art in the world under the silver light. Any more would be plump, any less would be thin, filled with a sacred yet fatal allure.

A terrifying pressure, surpassing heaven and earth, slowly emanated from her.

Under this pressure, all the fanatical Spirit Beasts instantly fell silent, prostrating themselves on the ground, welcoming their co-lord's return with the most devout posture.

Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes.

But there was no joy in her eyes.

Only endless longing and eternal solitude.

The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking in the nine heavens still shone brightly.

The phenomenon of Gu Yuena's recovery to her peak divine status shocked the entire continent.

And on the distant west coast, all of this seemed somewhat remote.

Vast Sea City.

The westernmost majestic city on the Douluo Continent.

The salty sea breeze blew year-round, stirring up waves like a thousand piles of snow, tirelessly crashing against the ancient and sturdy city walls.

With colossal waves surging, a Demon Soul Great White Shark, its size obscuring the sky, broke through the surf and steadily docked by a secluded coastline.

A slender figure leaped down from the shark's back, black hair and black eyes, with an extraordinary aura.

It was Lu Ming.

Behind him, the Demon Soul Great White Shark's body emitted waves of blue light. As the light faded, it transformed into a stunning woman in a blue uniform, looking heroic and spirited.

Bai Xiuxiu quickly followed, standing respectfully behind Lu Ming.

Lu Ming ignored his surroundings. He simply looked up, his gaze distant, fixed on the giant golden curtain in the sky.

On the curtain, Gu Yuena's devastatingly beautiful face was clearly reflected.

The tear tracks on the corner of her eyes, and the indelible solitude and longing in her gaze, pierced the heart even from billions of miles away.

Lu Ming's brow twitched slightly.

His expression held no emotion, no sadness. Instead, it carried a hint of unexpected surprise and a touch of helpless amusement.

"This girl Nana..."

He murmured softly, his voice carrying a sense of familiarity.

"She actually thought I was dead?"

"And for that... shed Tears of the Silver Dragon King?"

Bai Xiuxiu, standing behind him, trembled violently upon hearing this.

Her gaze towards Lu Ming was filled with shock.

Tears of the Silver Dragon King!

That was the tears of origin from the co-lord of Spirit Beasts!

What profound love and longing could make that aloof mistress shed such tears for the master?

Bai Xiuxiu took a deep breath and sincerely exclaimed.

"My lady... truly likes you, master."

Lu Ming's lips twitched at her words, offering no comment.

Of course, he knew Gu Yuena's feelings for him.

He just hadn't expected that after merely sleeping for a few years, she would directly conclude he had "died of old age."

Bai Xiuxiu looked at the Silver Dragon King on the sky curtain, who had already recovered her peak divine power, then looked at Lu Ming beside her, and asked tentatively.

"Master, should we go to Star Dou Great Forest first now?"

In her mind, the Master and the Lord had been reunited after a long separation, so they would surely meet immediately.

Lu Ming, however, remained silent.

His long, slender fingers gently stroked his chin, a hint of thought flashing through his deep, dark eyes.

He missed Nana very much too.

But...

Lu Ming's gaze involuntarily flickered back to the sky screen, to the small print at the end regarding the reward.

"Energy Doubled."

The moment he thought of these four words, Lu Ming felt a twinge in his lower back.

He understood Gu Yuena too well.

That girl had an almost obsessive possessiveness over him.

Now that she thought he had "died and come back to life," received the reward from the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking, recovered her peak strength, and her energy had doubled...

If he went to her now, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the central island of the Lake of Life for three to five months.

Moreover, he hadn't figured out how to explain the secret of his longevity to her yet.

Lu Ming shivered.

Given Gu Yuena's personality, she would absolutely not let him off that easily.

At that time, it might not be a problem that could be solved in three to five months.

Lu Ming's thoughts raced, and a second option surfaced in his mind.

Go to Jialing Pass.

That child Xue'er should be in charge there now.

However, before he left, he had already made several contingency plans within the Spirit Empire.

Even without him, there was no possibility of defeat against those brats from Shrek.

Therefore, Jialing Pass was not urgent either.

So, only the third option remained.

Go to Tiandou City.

To snatch back the Blue Silver Emperor, who was sacrificed by Tang Hao, forcibly revived by Tang San, and imprisoned in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Calculating the distance, Vast Sea City was the closest to Tiandou City.

Moreover, Tiandou City was not far from Jialing Pass, so it would be on the way after dealing with A Yin's matters.

Yes, that's how it would be.

Lu Ming made up his mind instantly.

He turned around, looked at Bai Xiuxiu, and calmly ordered.

"We're going to Tiandou City."

Bai Xiuxiu was slightly stunned, but she didn't ask further, merely nodding obediently.

"Yes, Master."

Buzz--!

Just as they were preparing to set off, the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking in the nine heavens suddenly changed again.

The image that had been reflecting Gu Yuena's figure rippled like water and slowly faded.

In its place appeared a deep, boundless azure sea.

In the center of the sea, a magnificent trident, entirely azure and inlaid with countless gems, floated quietly.

It exuded a domineering aura of ruling the world, as if the entire ocean were its subject.

Immediately after, new golden characters slowly appeared on the sky screen.

[Douluo Exotic Treasures Ranking, Fifth Place, Sea God Trident!]

[This is the materialized spirit of the First Generation Sea God Poseidon!]

[It currently weighs approximately 108,000 catties and comes with the divine skill Thirteen Halberds of Gold!]

[Poseidon once wielded this trident for 1,001 years, unifying the ocean races. Later, upon becoming a god, he refined it into a true Divine Artifact. His descendant, Tang San, drew this trident through the Sea God's Nine Trials. In the final battle against the Angel God Qian Renxue, due to the shattering of the Sea God's Heart, it merged with him by chance, elevating it to a Half-step Super Divine Artifact!]
