Where Did My Child of Destiny Go?

"Absorb this Soul Bone as well. With it, you'll be able to hunt a fifth spirit ring of a higher age."

With a thought, Jiang Heng took a Soul Bone from his Storage Soul Tool.

It was a 180,000-year Torso Spirit Bone that provided an immense boost to one's physique. It was precisely the Soul Bone he had stripped from Xuan Zi.

After discovering the extraordinary nature within Ye Guyi's martial soul, Jiang Heng naturally intended to nurture and cultivate her with great care.

However, he also understood that too much was as bad as too little. He could not wait until the very end to harvest; everything had to remain under his control.

He had a rough guess regarding the special item within Ye Guyi's martial soul.

It was very likely a fragment of the Angel God's shattered Godhead, and a relatively large fragment at that. After evolving on its own over the passing years, it had acquired its current effects.

If his guess was true, did the martial souls of other possessors of special Angel Martial Souls also contain shattered Godhead fragments?

Jiang Heng remembered that, in this era, there was still a Healing Angel in the Star Luo Empire.

He tucked the matter away in his mind, intending to investigate it when he found an opportunity.

After Ye Guyi fused with the Hundred Thousand Year Torso Spirit Bone, Jiang Heng did not immediately take her hunting for a Spirit Ring. Instead, he had her spend some time consolidating her gains.

Jiang Heng returned to his residence. For once, he did not continue researching Soul Tools today, instead preparing to enter seclusion and cultivate.

"Master!"

The moment he entered the villa Xu Tianran had gifted him, three graceful, beautiful Dragon Girls respectfully stepped forward to welcome him.

Previously, he had thought exposing these three Dragon Girls would bring trouble. Yet after seeing how these nobles lived, he realized that owning three half-human, half-beast Dragon Girls was nothing remarkable. He simply let them out to attend to his daily needs.

"I'll be in seclusion for a while. Refuse all visitors."

After issuing the order, Jiang Heng entered the Cultivation Chamber and began his seclusion.

He had originally thought he would need another year before taking another step forward. Unexpectedly, less than half a year had passed, yet his strength had improved once more.

The resources he possessed were simply too extraordinary. Combined with the devouring ability of the Taotie Bloodline, he had frantically consumed everything he had gained before.

This seclusion did not take long. In just one month, he refined his gains, balanced the power in his bloodline, and pushed his cultivation straight to 300,000 years.

As long as he wished it, he could undergo his tribulation at any time.

However, Jiang Heng was in no hurry. He still needed to accumulate more, using the Dragon Core's power to further elevate his Radiant Sacred Dragon Bloodline until it stood on equal footing with the Golden Sacred Dragon King's bloodline.

As his strength increased and he continuously seized resources, his ambitions expanded without limit.

Before the God Realm disappeared, he wanted to purify his bloodline as much as possible. Ideally, he would reach the level of a pure-blooded True Dragon.

Otherwise, when the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King stood before him, he might not even be able to devour and plunder them.

After leaving seclusion, Jiang Heng began gathering information about what had happened during this period.

The first matter was the hunt in the Ocean. Ever since Xu Tianran had bombarded the Ocean in order to obtain the Soul Bones he needed, many forces within the Sun Moon Empire had turned their attention there. There were simply too many resources there that they required.

After several probing hunts yielded none of the so-called Sea God's Punishment, their courage grew considerably.

"Is it because they simply don't care about the lives of Sea Soul Beasts, or because they haven't crossed their bottom line?"

Naturally, Jiang Heng was not referring to Sea God Tang San, but to that exceedingly mysterious Sea God Clan.

Aside from that information, there was also the fact that the exchange student program between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Academy had actually continued smoothly after Mu En's death.

Jiang Heng found that difficult to understand.

Shrek's current leader was Yan Shaozhe. Given his deep-seated disdain for Soul Tools, how could he have made such an arrangement?

However, it did not involve Jiang Heng's interests, so he naturally could not be bothered with it.

Beyond that, there was no other valuable information. What concerned him more was that Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny, seemed to have completely vanished from the entire Douluo Continent.

After learning about the major events of the past month, Jiang Heng took Ye Guyi out to hunt for a Spirit Ring.

As a Soul Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest, he naturally would not take a human Soul Master to hunt in his own lair. Instead, he brought Ye Guyi to the Jingyang Mountain Range within the Sun Moon Empire.

With his current cultivation and strength, choosing a Soul Beast suitable for Ye Guyi was easy.

A 36,000-year Radiant White Tiger was something Ye Guyi could still absorb, given that she possessed a Hundred Thousand Year Head Spirit Bone and Torso Spirit Bone.

As for Spirit Skills, he did not care. He was more concerned with whether the object that seemed to be a Godhead Fragment within her martial soul would evolve after she absorbed the Spirit Ring.

Everything unfolded just as he had guessed. As Ye Guyi's strength rose, that thing continued evolving and perfecting itself.

After confirming it, Jiang Heng became even happier.

Perhaps in the future, he could use this object to forge his own life Soul Tool.

"Senior, thank you for your help!"

After successfully absorbing her fifth spirit ring, Ye Guyi's Soul Power directly reached level 58. After all, she had fused with two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones and absorbed an over-age fifth spirit ring. Reaching such a level was only natural.

Ye Guyi was truly grateful. In the past, let alone a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, even a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone had seemed like an unattainable dream.

Since following this senior, she had come to understand just how vast the world truly was.

"Just cultivate diligently and improve your strength. If you need them, I can find Title Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters for you to kill!"

The more Jiang Heng watched Ye Guyi grow, the more satisfied he became.

Naturally, he had to nurture and cultivate her carefully.

At the same time, in the God Realm!

"Where did my Child of Destiny go?"

Tang San was dumbfounded. He had merely engaged in some intense but brief exercise with Xiao Wu, and then his destined son-in-law had vanished.

How could he allow that?

The son-in-law chosen by God King Tang had to grow back even if he castrated himself, much less disappear over something so trivial.

Although the God Realm was not yet entirely under his control, it was close enough.

Goodness and Evil had gone down to play, while their successors were merely figureheads with no real say.

As for Destruction and Life, they were currently in their honeymoon phase with him. They might not obey his every word, but as long as his suggestions were not too outrageous, the two of them would agree.

With that, who else would dare defy him!

As for the rule that Deities could not interfere with the mortal world, was that even a problem for the man who controlled the rules?

Who stands below, accusing this official!

However, in order to preserve his image of immaculate purity, Tang San still chose to skirt the line and exploit loopholes in the rules.
