After leaving Pope's Palace, Ye Ye wondered how he could get to the Worship Hall and Douluo Palace to sign in. He couldn't think of a way, so he stopped dwelling on it and decided to take a look at the accommodations Spirit Hall had arranged for him.
Ye Ye arrived at his residence inside Spirit Hall. Every Titled Douluo had an area of their own. Most Titled Douluo spent their time cultivating, especially the enshrined elders, who were rarely seen.
Ye Ye came to the house set aside for him. There was a large open space around it, and he could make out many other similar houses nearby. They stood quite far apart, and all of them were home to Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo.
The house wasn't particularly luxurious, but it was simply huge. Most of the space was taken up by secret chambers for cultivation and seclusion, with a bedroom taking up the rest. That was about it.
The place was so large it didn't even have a kitchen. After all, Titled Douluo were busy cultivating. How could they possibly find time to cook? Spirit Hall delivered meals every day, and Titled Douluo could also replace eating with cultivation, allowing them to go several days without food.
Ye Ye took out the Treasure Map and checked its markings. To his surprise, the spot was in the sea. I'll check it out after I return to my body.
It was almost dark. Ye Ye had always kept a regular routine, going to bed early and getting up early, so he found the bedroom and went to sleep.
The next day, Ye Ye got up as usual and continued fretting over where to sign in. He left Spirit Hall and headed to the street. Spirit Hall hadn't publicized the appointment of a new elder, and Ye Ye always wore a mask when fighting in the arena. So people had no idea he was the "King of Titans—Godzilla," much less that he was an elder of Spirit Hall.
Ye Ye ate something, as usual.
Meanwhile, inside Spirit Hall, Yue Guan and Bibi Dong were discussing something.
Bibi Dong: "Did you find out what I asked you to investigate?"
Yue Guan: "Well, Ye Ye appeared in Spirit City just recently. We haven't found out anything about his past yet."
Bibi Dong: "Useless!" She released her pressure.
Yue Guan immediately fell to his knees, trembling. Cold sweat broke out all over him.
Yue Guan: "Your Holiness, we also found out that Ye Ye is the 'King of Titans—Godzilla' who fights in the Martial Soul Hall Soul Fighting Arena. He's fought twenty-four battles without a single loss, and he's already earned a Silver Badge."
Bibi Dong: "Oh? He's the Godzilla who killed Tang Sanzang. So he must be quite strong!"
Yue Guan: "Yes, yes, absolutely."
Bibi Dong: "You may leave."
Yue Guan: "Thank you, Your Holiness." Yue Guan quickly left.
Once Yue Guan was gone, Bibi Dong murmured, "Interesting."
Meanwhile, Ye Ye had returned to Spirit Hall. His sign-in location had just turned out to be the Worship Hall, and he had to come up with a plan quickly.
Ye Ye racked his brains but couldn't think of anything. He could only ask the system, "Xiao Ai, do you have any ideas?"
[Beep! The host can make friends with someone in the Worship Hall.]
Ye Ye: "They never even show up. And even if I wanted to befriend them, they wouldn't give me the chance."
[Beep! The host can purchase a 'Friendship from Nothing Card' from the Mall.]
Ye Ye checked its description: "Friendship from Nothing Card: Turns a stranger of your choice into the user's good friend, a sworn friend who would lay down their life for you. Not 10, not 100—just 1,000."
It was a little expensive, but if it really worked as well as advertised, it would be worth it.
Ye Ye spent 1,000 points to buy the Friendship from Nothing Card, then used it on Qian Daoliu.
After that, Ye Ye went to the Worship Hall. Looking at the golden light shining from the building, he swallowed nervously. If the card didn't work, his journey across the continent might end right here.
Just then, a voice rang out from inside the Worship Hall. "Who goes there?"
Ye Ye boldly answered, "I wish to see the Great Enshrined, Qian Daoliu."
A flash of golden light streaked past, and a figure appeared in front of Ye Ye. He had light golden hair and looked like a kind old man.
Seeing Ye Ye, he said, "I'm Qian Daoliu."
Ye Ye swallowed and said, "Brother Qian, long time no see." He had no choice but to trust the system. If the card failed, he might be finished.
Qian Daoliu's expression darkened. He grabbed Ye Ye by the shoulder and whisked him inside the Worship Hall in an instant.
Qian Daoliu: "Who's your Brother Qian? Who are you?"
Ye Ye thought, I'm done for.
Ye Ye: "I'm Ye Ye!" he said awkwardly.
Qian Daoliu suddenly burst out laughing. "Ha ha! I was just teasing you, Little Brother Ye. How could I possibly forget you?"
(Qian Renxue: "We'll call each other whatever we like. You can call me sister-in-law, and I'll call you Grandpa."
Ye Ye: "You treat me like a brother, but I slept with your granddaughter.")
Ye Ye laughed, too. "Brother Qian, why are you always teasing your little brother?"
Qian Daoliu: "Don't take it to heart, don't take it to heart."
The two of them laughed like a pair of fools. "Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!"
Ye Ye hurriedly told the system, "Hurry up and sign in."
[Beep! Signed in at a divine treasure land. Rewards:
1. Cultivation increased
2. Bloodline improved
3. Godzilla Light Form (50%)

5. 2,000 points]
Since the Worship Hall was connected to the Angel God's inheritance, it had been designated a divine treasure land.
Ye Ye: "What's this Godzilla Light Form?"
[Beep! It's like Godzilla's Burning Form, except it's a form of light.]
Ye Ye: "I see."
Then Ye Ye and Qian Daoliu chatted for a while. As they talked, Ye Ye fully embraced his new identity as Qian Daoliu's brother.
Ye Ye suddenly remembered something. "Brother Qian, could you take me to see Douluo Palace?"
Qian Daoliu: "Of course."
Then Qian Daoliu took Ye Ye flying.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong was growing puzzled.
Yue Guan: "Your Holiness, Ye Ye went to the Worship Hall."
Bibi Dong: "How is that possible?"
The Worship Hall didn't allow anyone but the enshrined elders inside. Besides, the Worship Hall and Pope's Palace had never gotten along. Ye Ye was an Honorary Elder appointed by her; why would Qian Daoliu allow him into the Worship Hall?
Had Ye Ye defected to the Worship Hall?
Back with Ye Ye, he and Qian Daoliu arrived at Douluo Palace.
Qian Daoliu: "This is Douluo Palace. All the Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall's past several thousand years are buried here."
Ye Ye could sense the powerful Soul Power fluctuations around him. After all, the people buried here were all dead, but they had been powerful Titled Douluo in life, so their Soul Power still lingered.
Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, sign in."
[Beep! Signed in at a divine treasure land. Rewards:

Looking at his stats, Ye Ye thoroughly enjoyed how much stronger he was becoming.
Ye Ye bowed to the many tombs in Douluo Palace. First, it was a sign of respect. He also wanted to thank them for giving him a place to sign in.
Ye Ye: "Brother Qian, let's go."
Qian Daoliu: "All right."
Then Qian Daoliu took Ye Ye back to the Worship Hall in an instant.
Ye Ye: "Brother Qian, I'll be going now."
Qian Daoliu: "Safe travels. Remember to come visit."
Ye Ye: "Thanks, bro."
Then Ye Ye left the Worship Hall and returned to his house. After resting for a while, he prepared to head to the Soul Fighting Arena for his fights that day.
Ye Ye arrived at the Martial Soul Hall Soul Fighting Arena, put on his mask with practiced ease, and signed up for a match. It was another life-or-death battle.
"Look, it's Godzilla!" Some spectators spotted Ye Ye and began to cheer.
Ye Ye: "Being too strong really is a pain."
Then Ye Ye went to his private room to wait for the match to begin.
Announcer: "Next, let's welcome the undefeated King of Titans—Godzilla!"
Ye Ye appeared in the arena, and deafening cheers erupted from the stands.
Audience: "Godzilla! Godzilla! Godzilla!"
Announcer: "His opponent is a Soul Emperor with Soul Power at level 67. He is Da Congming!"
Audience: "Da Congming! Da Congming! Da Congming!"
Some spectators began to discuss the match. "Do you think Godzilla can beat a Soul Emperor?"
Some of Ye Ye's most fervent supporters replied, "Of course! Godzilla is invincible!"
Other spectators objected, "But Godzilla's only a Soul King, and he's up against a..."
Ye Ye frowned. It wasn't because he couldn't win. The problem was that the arena's management hadn't told him in advance. Matches were usually arranged between opponents of similar strength, and if their strengths differed, the fighters were informed beforehand. This situation was clearly wrong.
In a luxurious private room, a woman sat watching. She murmured to herself, "Let's see your true strength."
Ye Ye knew someone was deliberately testing his strength, and the only person with that kind of authority was probably her.
Then the Soul Emperor named Da Congming appeared. It was his first time participating in a Soul Fighting match, but for some reason, he was already popular. Many people probably wanted to see Ye Ye get beaten and watch him lose.
That only made Ye Ye more excited. He wanted to fight even more, and he was eager to defeat his opponent.
Referee: "Both sides, get ready."
Ye Ye: "Martial Soul, Godzilla. Level 61 Battle Soul Emperor."
Da Congming: "Martial Soul, Lava Giant. Level 67 Battle Soul Emperor."
Da Congming hadn't expected Ye Ye to have already advanced to Soul Emperor, or to have acquired Soul Rings.
The audience hadn't expected Ye Ye to have advanced to Soul Emperor, either.
Referee: "Ready! Begin!"
