Medusa's Shock, Her Husband Actually Comes from the "Great Thousand World"!

Medusa heard this, and looking at the smiling, handsome face of Gu Shenge, her soul-stirring, alluring light purple eyes brimmed with a trace of shy anger. Her snow-white teeth bit down lightly, and two words escaped through the gaps in her teeth.

"Husband!"

"Eh 罒▽罒!"

Hearing this address, Gu Shenge nodded with satisfaction and said in a gentle voice:

"Since my beloved wife is so eager to know my origins, I naturally won't hide it from you. However, there are too many eyes here; let us return to the Divine Temple first, and I will tell you slowly."

"Hmph!" Medusa let out a soft snort and tried to break free from his embrace, but Gu Shenge unexpectedly wrapped one arm around her slender snake-waist and the other under her long, beautiful legs, forcibly lifting her up in a princess carry and holding her close—a display of extreme intimacy.

In the public eye, such an intimate gesture—especially feeling the surprised gazes of the surrounding snake-people—caused a flush of shyness to rise on Medusa's pretty face. She didn't even dare to look up, as this was far too inconsistent with her usual image as a queen, so she whispered a command to Gu Shenge.

"Gu Shenge, put this queen down! I can walk myself!"

Looking at the shy Medusa in his arms, Gu Shenge's smile grew even wider. Ignoring her protests, he lowered his head and kissed her alluring red lips, claiming their queen right in front of the snake-people, which drew envy, jealousy, and hatred from many of them.

After a long while, Gu Shenge finally pulled away, still seemingly unsatisfied. Medusa, having been forcibly kissed, was incredibly shy and angry, her bewitching face turning red enough to drip blood.

Gu Shenge spread his Dou Qi wings behind his back, the golden wings flapping as he carried Medusa toward the Divine Temple.

Soon, the news that Mo Basi had been killed by a single punch from the Wang Fu spread, diffusing from the Snake-Person City to the Eight Great Tribes, as well as other medium and small tribes.

This incident caused dissatisfaction within the Mo Snake Tribe, but they dared not show it; after all, it was their own leader who had courted death by provoking the Wang Fu.

Moreover, with Mo Basi dead, the Mo Snake Tribe was left leaderless. Compared to seeking justice for a dead leader—a trivial matter—they were far more interested in the position of tribal leader itself.

"What! You actually come from another world?!"

Inside the bedchamber of the Divine Temple, Medusa's voice suddenly rang out, filled with shock. The Snake-Person Queen looked at her husband with a face full of astonishment. He actually said he came from another world?! This was simply too hard to believe!

Gu Shenge told Medusa not to be too surprised, as this reaction was entirely within his expectations, and then he gently explained to her.

"My beloved wife, there is no need to be so surprised. Beyond the world, there are other worlds; above the strong, there are even stronger. The Dou Qi Continent we are currently in is merely one of countless lower planes. Above the Dou Qi Continent lies the Great Thousand World, and your husband comes from that Great Thousand World."

"Lower planes? The Great Thousand World?"

Listening to Gu Shenge's explanation, Medusa gradually calmed the surprise in her heart. If she didn't even have the capacity to accept this, how could she be a queen?

Gu Shenge nodded, using the Dou Qi Continent as an example to carefully explain to Medusa what the Great Thousand World was.

"The Great Thousand World is the intersection and center of countless lower planes, where ten thousand races stand and heroes gather. Taking the Dou Qi Continent as an example, the Great Thousand World is equivalent to the Central Plains, which is vast, rich in resources, and filled with experts. The Dou Qi Continent is equivalent to the Jia Ma Empire. My beloved wife, you understand this analogy, right?"

After hearing this, Medusa understood what Gu Shenge meant, and the look in her eyes held a bit more surprise.

She had originally thought Gu Shenge was a descendant of some great clan in the Central Plains, but she never expected him to come from the upper realm, from another "Central Plains."

Medusa questioned Gu Shenge again: "Then why did you appear in the Dou Qi Continent?"

"Hmm~ that's a bit complicated to explain, but you can understand it as me being dropped off by my family."

Gu Shenge made up a reason, and Medusa believed it. After all, it was common for the great powers in the Central Plains to drop their descendants into harsh places for trials.

Medusa naturally assumed that Gu Shenge was a descendant of a great power in the Great Thousand World, sent to the harsh environment of the Dou Qi Continent for training.

This also explained why Gu Shenge had suddenly appeared on her island and was able to produce the Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python Origin, Emperor-Tier Cultivation Techniques, and various high-grade medicinal pills.

Perhaps the rare treasures that were incredibly precious in her eyes were nothing in the eyes of Gu Shenge.

Damn it! If I had known, I should have extorted more treasures from this guy as a dowry!

At this moment, Medusa felt she had suffered a huge loss.

After a long while, Medusa continued to ask: "If that is the case, then wouldn't a Dou Di of the Dou Qi Continent only be equivalent to a Dou Huang in the Great Thousand World?"

Gu Shenge shook his head.

"The Great Thousand World does not cultivate Dou Qi, but Spiritual Energy, and there are many realms. When experts from lower planes ascend to the Great Thousand World, their internal cultivation is forcibly converted by the laws of the Great Thousand World. Some are strong and some are weak; as for what realm a Dou Di is equivalent to, I am not entirely sure."

In fact, according to his speculation, a Dou Di of the Dou Qi Continent should be equivalent to a Sovereign in the Great Thousand World.

The original work of The Great Ruler mentioned that Xiao Yan went to the Great Thousand World to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the ancient Dou Di. After arriving in the Great Thousand World, he was teleported to the Lesser West Heaven Realm and met the Luo God Clan leader, Luo Tianshen. With Luo Tianshen's help, he assimilated his Dou Qi into Spiritual Energy.

Decades later, he went alone to the Fire Spirit Clan, a behemoth of the Great Thousand World, to demand a type of Heavenly Flame from their clan under the name of "Flame Emperor." He fought the entire Fire Spirit Clan single-handedly, eventually forcing them into a corner where they had no choice but to awaken their Fire Spirit Ancestor, who had been sleeping for tens of thousands of years.

The two engaged in a heaven-shaking battle, and the raging flames burned an abandoned continent into nothingness, but the Fire Spirit Ancestor still could not gain the upper hand. Unable to do anything to Xiao Yan, he could only concede and let Xiao Yan take their clan's treasure flame.

In his past life, people on the internet said that a Dou Di was equivalent to a Heavenly Sovereign because Xiao Yan defeated the Fire Spirit Ancestor, and the Fire Spirit Ancestor was a Heavenly Sovereign.

But don't forget, it was decades after Xiao Yan arrived in the Great Thousand World that he defeated the Fire Spirit Ancestor, not the moment he ascended.

Unless Xiao Yan made no progress for decades and remained only a Dou Di, the claim that a Dou Di is equivalent to a Heavenly Sovereign simply doesn't hold water.

Therefore, Gu Shenge believed that a Dou Di was only equivalent to a Sovereign, but that didn't mean Xiao Yan was only a Sovereign. When Xiao Yan ascended, he must have already traveled very far on the path of the Dou Di realm; after his Dou Qi was converted into Spiritual Energy, he might have reached the peak of the Sovereign realm, or even the Earthly Sovereign realm.

Gu Shenge looked at the dazed Medusa, reached out to pull his beloved wife into his arms, gently stroked her dark hair, lowered his head to breathe a puff of hot air into her ear, and kissed her earlobe, teasing and provoking her.

Medusa's body trembled slightly, feeling her ear wrapped in warmth. A strange pink flush climbed onto her fair, delicate earlobe, and Gu Shenge's voice rang in her ear.

"My beloved wife, since you are going into seclusion, why not accompany me to find something before you do?"

Medusa's face turned slightly red. She swatted away Gu Shenge's hand that was stroking her body, telling him to behave, and then asked: "What thing?"

Gu Shenge, having been warned, honestly placed his hand on Medusa's abdomen and replied: "A Heavenly Flame."

PS: I know many experts believe I wrote this incorrectly, wondering how a Dou Di could only be equivalent to a Sovereign, but it is actually quite easy to see.

Xiao Xiao, the daughter of Xiao Yan, is a prime example. Ascending from the Dou Qi Continent to the Great Thousand World requires one to reach the Dou Di realm, yet when Xiao Xiao appeared in The Great Ruler, she only possessed the cultivation of a Sovereign.

Thus, it is obvious that Dou Di = Sovereign.

At the end of Wu Dong Qian Kun, when Xiao Yan and Lin Dong met, it was never stated that their strengths were equal. Lin Dong merely sensed an extremely scorching fluctuation coming from Xiao Yan, while Xiao Yan remarked that Lin Dong was a very formidable person.

Furthermore, at that time, Xiao Yan was already at the peak of the Dou Di realm, while Lin Dong had only recently broken through to the Ancestor Realm, so from this, it can be seen that the Ancestor Realm is stronger than the Dou Di realm.
