How much had Bibi Dong sacrificed to inherit the Rakshasa Godhood?
She had devoured souls and endured the erosion of evil resentment, even turning herself into something barely human.
Even her daughter, Qian Renxue, had spent twenty years cultivating in the Worship Hall to inherit the Angel God's power, enduring countless trials that had brought her to the brink of death.
But what about now?
That Snow Empress had only accepted a token of affection.
And she had obtained a godhood just like that?
"Neuvillette..."
Bibi Dong's fingers dug deep into the armrest, her knuckles turning white.
If that Ice Soul Cold Bead were in her hands...
With the Rakshasa Godhood and the Ice and Snow God Position, she could wield two godhoods at once.
Who in this world could stand in her way?
A wildfire called greed blazed across Bibi Dong's heart.
And she wasn't the only one.
Tang San, speeding toward Sea God Island, abruptly halted in midair.
He turned to gaze at the pillar of light on the horizon, breathing as heavily as an ox.
His eyes were bloodshot.
"A godhood inheritance..."
"An unclaimed godhood that can be inherited directly!"
Tang San's hand trembled as he gripped the Seagod Trident.
If he could obtain that bead, then combine it with the Sea God Godhood and Asura God's attention...
Three godhoods!
If he could gather three godhoods within himself, he would be the greatest person in the history of Douluo Continent!
"Too bad..."
Tang San gritted his teeth and forced down the greed welling inside him.
He didn't have time to seize it right now.
The fighting at Jialing Pass was still unresolved, and Xiao Wu was suffering in Skywater City.
His priority was to return to Sea God Island, truly inherit the Sea God Godhood, and gain divine power.
Once he became a god, taking that bead would be as easy as reaching into a bag!
"Neuvillette, I'll leave that bead in your care for now."
Tang San gave a cold snort, then turned and shot toward the vast ocean at even greater speed.
Skywater City, City Lord Mansion.
Snow Empress paid no attention to the world's astonishment.
As soon as she received her reward, she took Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er back to the mansion.
The cold, imposing dignity of the Far North's ruler melted away the moment she crossed the threshold, like fresh snow beneath the blazing sun.
In the courtyard.
Neuvillette sat beside a stone table, a cup of tea in hand as he calmly read a book.
He didn't seem to care much about the Golden Ranking List in the sky.
"Neuvillette!"
Her call rang out, full of longing and joy.
Before Neuvillette could set down his teacup, a white figure darted into his arms like a swift returning to its nest.
A delicate fragrance drifted toward him.
It was Snow Empress's uniquely cool, faintly sweet scent.
Neuvillette set down his book with a helpless smile and wrapped an arm around his beloved's waist.
Her body was soft and warm beneath his touch.
Snow Empress's usual aloofness, which kept everyone at arm's length, had vanished.
Now her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes shimmered with a bewitching allure.
Her long, shapely legs wrapped around Neuvillette's waist without the slightest reserve.
"You're back?"
Neuvillette asked softly, his voice warm.
"Mm."
Snow Empress tilted her head up, her beautiful eyes reflecting his face.
"I missed you."
She made no attempt to hide her feelings.
As soon as the words left her lips, she leaned in and kissed him.
It was a deep, lingering kiss.
The air in the courtyard seemed to grow hot.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, standing not far away, had long since blushed. The sisters covered their eyes, but their fingers were spread wide as they watched with rapt attention.
At last, they parted.
Snow Empress panted, her body limp as water, able only to cling to Neuvillette.
Seeing how enraptured she was, Neuvillette said nothing.
He simply scooped her into his arms and strode toward the bedroom.
Bang!
The door shut.
A barrier immediately fell into place, cutting off every sound.
In a corner of the courtyard.
Furina held a small cake, eating as she shook her head in amazement.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"They're getting started already?"
"Snow Empress is way too eager."
She glanced at the closed door, her expression tinged with sympathy.
"Good thing Neuvillette's built like a tank. Otherwise, who could keep up with that?"
"At this rate, they'll probably keep at it until tomorrow morning."
In the empty space beside Furina.
Ice Empress gazed at the room with a deeply aggrieved expression.
"Waaah..."
"Big Sister is so sneaky. Every time she comes back, she keeps Neuvillette all to herself."
"I want him to dote on me too!"
Ice Empress was so upset she could cry.
She could only watch, never join in.
Who could understand that kind of torment?
Just as the scene in Skywater City grew increasingly heated,
the Golden Ranking List in the sky shook once more.
The radiance of the Ice Soul Cold Bead gradually faded.
In its place appeared an incomparably brilliant silver light.
Faint dragon roars rang out from within it, echoing across heaven and earth.
The fifth place had been revealed!
[Fifth Place: Silver Dragon Spear.] [Holder: Gu Yuena.] [Quality: Super Divine Artifact (Companion Artifact).] [Traits: Controls the power of the elements, absorbs life force, and possesses the might to destroy all laws.]
Deep in the core region of the Star Dou Forest.
The waters of the Lake of Life churned violently.
A terrifying aura stirred from deep underground.
In the darkness, a pair of purple eyes slowly opened.
Those eyes held boundless majesty and the weight of ages, as if they had witnessed all the eons that had ever passed.
The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
Awakened by the Golden Ranking List, she now watched it in the sky through a special means.
When she saw the ranking,
a look of surprise and confusion appeared on her exquisite face.
"Fifth?"
Gu Yuena's voice was cool and melodious, yet tinged with displeasure.
She was the Lord of Soul Beasts.
She was the Silver Dragon King, heir to half of the Dragon God's power.
In this age, when the gods of the Divine Realm could not descend, she should have been the strongest being on Douluo Continent.
How could her companion divine weapon, the Silver Dragon Spear, rank only fifth?
"This Golden Ranking List..."
"Is it joking?"
Gu Yuena slowly rose, her silver hair cascading down like a waterfall.
She lifted her gaze to the sky, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.
"I want to see what could possibly rank above me."
The Spirit Hall army camp.
Bibi Dong's composure, which had only just returned, was once again swept away by shock.
"Gu Yuena..."
"The Silver Dragon King?"
As Pope of the Spirit Hall and an inheritor of the Rakshasa God's trials, she knew far more about ancient secrets than ordinary people did.
Legend had it that the Dragon God split apart, becoming the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.
She had always thought it was nothing more than a legend.
She hadn't expected the Silver Dragon King to truly exist!
And right there on Douluo Continent!
"She wields the Silver Dragon Spear and controls the power of the elements..."
Bibi Dong's expression instantly turned wary.
This was undoubtedly a more terrifying wild card than Tang San—or even Neuvillette.
