Ancestor Lu Ming! Gu Yuena's Hope, Resurrection from Death?!

Gu Yuena stared at the Golden Ranking's description of the "Eternal Life Pendant," her heart aching so badly she could barely breathe.

"Endless life... an eternal lifespan..."

She repeated those words over and over.

"This treasure can prolong one's life and ward off misfortune... If... if Husband had kept this treasure for himself back then, would he... would he not have died of old age?"

That thought was like the sharpest blade, viciously carving into her heart!

He had given her the chance at immortality, yet walked toward the end of his own life.

"Waaah—!"

Gu Yuena could no longer hold back and burst into tears, streams of them pouring endlessly down her face.

At that moment, the reward from the Golden Ranking in the heavens finally descended.

Boundless golden divine light gathered into a pillar of light, completely enveloping her.

Suppressing her grief, Gu Yuena began absorbing the enormous energy.

Boom—!!!

A vast, boundless aura surged from her body into the sky, stirring the winds and clouds throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest!

Her Soul Power began rising madly!

Level 147... Level 148... Level 150!

The barrier of the God King Realm was as fragile as a sheet of thin paper before the reward's divine light, instantly shattered!

Level 151... Level 153... Level 155!

In the end, her Soul Power settled at Level 155, and she firmly entered the realm of a God King!

At the same time, her control over the nine great elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, space, and creation—increased fivefold!

Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes. Within her violet pupils, it seemed as though billions of stars were being born and extinguished.

Her long silver hair moved without wind, every strand gleaming with elemental radiance.

Bathed in divine light, her already flawless body appeared even more sacred. Her skin was as pale and lustrous as jade, emitting a faint glow.

Her long, straight, beautiful legs floated in the air, their breathtaking curves radiating a supreme charm that could make even deities fall into obsession.

She lightly clenched her fist, and the elements throughout the entire space resonated with her.

"So this is the power of a God King..."

Feeling the unprecedented power within her, Gu Yuena murmured softly.

"With my current strength, combined with the Silver Dragon King's bloodline, even if I faced the Asura God at the height of his power, I would certainly be able to fight him!"

But she soon shifted her attention away from her surging strength.

"What excites me even more... is the seed of the Ancient Life Tree!"

She spread open her palm. A jade-green seed, radiating boundless Life Aura, lay quietly in her hand.

When Di Tian on the shore saw the seed, his pupils contracted sharply.

"This... this is actually truly a seed of the Ancient Life Tree!"

Bi Ji, known as the Jade Swan, trembled all over with excitement.

Her elegant and otherworldly face was filled with wild joy.

"Legend has it that the Tree of Life is the source of life in the universe, nurturing the first life of countless worlds!

The sap of the Tree of Life possesses the heaven-defying ability to heal all injuries, assist cultivation, and even... even revive the dead!"

Wang Qiu'er, known as the Imperial Beast, heard this and her Golden eyes instantly lit up.

"It can revive the dead?!"

She cried out in delight, "Doesn't that mean... Master's husband can be revived?! No wonder Master is so excited!"

Xiong Jun beside her said in a deep, muffled voice, "Unfortunately, it is only a seed. It probably won't be easy for it to grow into a towering tree."

Yet an unprecedented flame of hope ignited in Gu Yuena's eyes.

Holding that seed as though it were the most precious treasure in the world, she slowly descended into the center of the Lake of Life.

With the utmost care, she planted the seed of the Ancient Life Tree within the most fundamental core of the Lake of Life.

After doing all this, she raised her peerless face, still streaked with tears, and looked toward the empty space before her, as though she saw the figure she loved so dearly.

Her voice was resolute and unwavering, echoing throughout the Lake of Life.

"Husband, did you see it?"

"No matter how difficult the process may be, no matter how long I must wait, I, Gu Yuena, swear here and now!"

"I will definitely revive you!"

Heaven Dou City, Ye Family Mansion.

Within the ancient, elegant courtyard, Lu Ming sat serenely in the seat of honor, his expression calm, as though he had not been the one to slap the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao to death moments ago.

Beside him, a flush of excitement still lingered on Ye Lingling's pretty face.

She carefully poured Lu Ming a cup of Fragrant Tea, her movements gentle, while her eyes gleamed with the utmost admiration.

"Ancestor, you're truly incredible!"

The young girl's clear, pleasant voice overflowed with excitement as she respectfully offered him the teacup.

"One slap... just one slap, and you killed that arrogant Tang Hao! That was so satisfying!"

Lu Ming reached out and accepted the teacup, his fingertips warm. He neither confirmed nor denied the girl's praise.

He took a light sip, and the crisp fragrance of tea spread across his lips and teeth.

To him, killing Tang Hao and rescuing the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor named Ah Yin had merely been a trivial matter done in passing, not even enough to stir the slightest ripple in his heart.

Just then, the image upon the Golden Ranking shifted, drawing everyone's attention once more.

The brilliant radiance belonging to the "Eternal Life Pendant" remained the focus of the entire world.

Ye Lingling raised her head to look at the sky, her bright, beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

"This Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena is just too amazing!"

"Counting the Silver Dragon Spear from before and that unknown exotic treasure, this is already her second time on the Ranking List!"

As she exclaimed, the girl unconsciously straightened her slender waist.

She wore a light green gown. Beneath its hem, her straight, long legs stood gracefully, their curves exquisite.

Outlined beneath the sunlight, they formed breathtaking contours, brimming with the unique charm and vitality of a youthful maiden.

Seated below, Ye Qingxian, the Ye Family's First Elder, wore a solemn expression as she slowly spoke.

"One person occupies two places on the Exotic Treasures Ranking—the fourth, and now the second!"

"Such splendor truly inspires awe. Even Sea God Tang San, who inherited the Dual God Positions, has been overshadowed into insignificance by her on this Ranking List."

There was a trace of emotion in Ye Qingxian's voice. "Truly, women need not yield to men!"

Listening to the elder's analysis, Ye Lingling's gaze fell once more upon the Golden Ranking's annotation.

As though she had discovered something novel, her almond-shaped eyes widened and her little mouth parted slightly.

"Ah! This pendant... was actually given to Senior Gu Yuena by her... husband?"

She let out a soft cry of surprise, her tone full of shock.

"It's a Super Divine Artifact ranked second on the Exotic Treasures Ranking! And he just... gave it to her?"

Those words were like a stone thrown into a still lake, sending ripples through the courtyard.

Ah Yin, who had been silently standing to one side with a somewhat dazed expression, suddenly trembled when she heard them.

She raised her head, and her gentle eyes were instantly filled with an emotion called "envy."
