Completing the God of Light's Ninth Trial
"Now, tell me the details of Dai Yutian's capture," Bibi Dong asked directly, sitting back in the main seat.
A minister in charge of the palace guards rushed forward and reported tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the guards stationed at the entrance to the imperial bedchamber that night witnessed a mysterious man in black robes appear out of thin air, easily defeat the guards, then knock Your Majesty unconscious with a single blow and take him away from the palace."
"Why take Dai Yutian away?"
At this moment, another old minister added in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, besides our Emperor, the Dean of the Skywater Academy and the Dean of the Plant Academy have also mysteriously disappeared recently."
"Why take them away?" Bibi Dong fell into deep thought.
At that moment, Gui Mei voice sounded from the side, "Your Majesty, have you ever considered that this might be related to the Five Elements?"
"Think about it, Dean Heavenly Water Academy's Martial Soul is water, Dean Botany 'Dean Martial Soul is wood, while Dai Yutian Martial Soul is the White Tiger. The White Tiger is associated with killing and belongs to the metal element in the Five Elements theory."
"Metal generates water, water generates wood... the five elements generate each other?" Bibi Dong's gaze narrowed slightly. "Very likely. It seems the person behind this is trying to gather some kind of condition related to the five elements."
"Then what exactly do they want to do by arresting these people?" The ministers in the hall looked at each other, a deeper chill creeping into their hearts.
"Want to know what they're up to? Then take the initiative, organize Soul Master legion, and head directly into the Sun Moon Continent."
"When will we organize it?" the Head of the Zhu Clan asked hurriedly.
"The Martial Soul Federation and Star Luo City will each organize 30,000 Soul Master to depart for the Sun Moon Continent in two days."
"Elder Ghost"
"Your Majesty," the Gui Mei bowed respectfully.
"You shall set off immediately and return to inform the Grand Pontiff of this message, so that he may begin preparations."
"Yes." The Gui Mei figure flickered and vanished from the spot in an instant.
In a short time, the news that the Spirit Hall was organizing a expedition of Soul Master to the mysterious "Sun Moon Continent" swept across the entire Douluo Continent.
People were shocked, but even more so, they found it hard to believe.
It turns out that beyond this vast ocean, there really is another unknown continent.
During this period, Gu Yuan, an old fisherman living in Tianming City, was invited to Star Luo City by the Star Luo Empire.
Faced with the personal inquiry from the Pope of the Spirit Hall, this weathered old man dared not conceal anything.
He carefully unfolded a yellowed parchment and, relying on his childhood memories, drew out the escape routes he had taken during his escape years ago, eventually creating a simple yet crucial nautical chart.
"Heading westward towards Tianming City, passing through that Foggy Sea, lies the Sun Moon Continent."
Two days later, in Tianming City.
The deafening sound of war drums echoed through the sky, startling countless seabirds into flight.
The square in Tianming City was already packed with Soul Master; those who couldn't fit on the ground were suspended in mid-air.
A full 60,000 Soul Master gathered here; this terrifying power was enough to suffocate any force.
On the side of the Martial Soul Federation, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and the elders of the Spirit Hall were all present.
Bibi Dong, dressed in divine attire and holding a scepter, slowly ascended into the air, hovering at the forefront of the 60,000-strong army.
"Soul Master!"
"Just a few days ago, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, along with tens of thousands of others, was abducted by a group of mysterious people from the Sun Moon Continent. They attempted to imprison our compatriots."
"That ' God Lord ' hiding in the shadows thought that the sea would be enough to render us helpless. But he was wrong."
"I don't care if he's a god or a demon, anyone who dares to harm the people of the Douluo Continent will pay the price."
"Today, we gather here, not for invasion, but for redemption. We will cross this ocean, conquer the Sun Moon Continent, and bring back our captive compatriots intact. Do you have the confidence?!"
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Sixty thousand Soul Master roared in unison, their voices like a tidal wave, shaking the entire Tianming City.
"Alright! Let's go!"
At Bibi Dong's command, they took the lead and sped towards the port.
Subsequently, 60,000 Soul Master followed in an orderly fashion, heading towards the port, which was already fully prepared for departure.
The sea breeze howled, and more than twenty specially reinforced giant warships were already docked at the pier.
Bibi Dong stood at the bow of the flagship, watching the endless stream of Soul Master boarding the ship, and coldly shouted, "Board!"
At Bibi Dong's command, the 60,000-strong army of Soul Master surged toward the dock in an orderly fashion.
The powerful figures at the Titled Douluo level, such as Golden Crocodile Douluo and Azure Luan Douluo, did not rush to board the ship. Instead, they hovered in mid-air, scanning the entire boarding team to ensure that no accidents would occur.
As the last Soul Master stepped onto the deck, the massive anchor chain was slowly retracted by Soul Power.
The massive ship began to slowly turn around and head towards the deep sea.
The Star Luo Empire and soldiers on the shore watched as the massive fleet, which blotted out the sky, gradually disappeared into the vast western seas.
When Qian Xunji opened her eyes, she was greeted by an endless expanse of white clouds.
He lay on the thick clouds, with a clear golden sky above him, and sunlight streaming in from all directions.
He sat up blankly, looked at his hands, and touched his chest. The heart that Xiao Wu had pierced with her Divine Staff was now completely intact.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Is this heaven?"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless transparent bubbles slowly rose from the clouds.
Qian Xunji touched it lightly, and the bubble lit up: it was a scene of Liu Xiulan chasing after Bi Dashan's general store with a feather duster.
That was the moment when Pope Palace Xiao Xue, wobbling, stumbled into his arms.
It was also a picture of Bibi Dong, dressed in her wedding gown, smiling gently under the bright red candlelight.
Thousands upon thousands of memory bubbles filled the sky.
He touched the largest one, which contained a picture of Xiao Xue crying as he lay dying.
"If I die, what will happen to Xiao Xue? Has Dong'er come out of seclusion? Did she win the battle?"
Can I go back?
He was afraid he would never be able to return to the Douluo Continent, and never see the mother and daughter again.
"Congratulations."
Suddenly, a calm voice came from the depths of the sea of clouds.
The clouds parted to reveal a tall man dressed in God of Light Armor walking towards them.
"You, you are the God of Light?"
"Congratulations, you have completed the Ninth Trial, sacrificing your own body to end the Dark Turmoil."
"Qian Xunji, the God of Light Divine Position is officially yours to inherit."
The deity's fingertip touched Qian Xunji's brow.
In an instant, an unprecedented warm current exploded within him, and his entire being began to ascend.
Golden-white divine armor covered his body, and the God of Light Brand that appeared between his brows shone even brighter.
The once sharp and flamboyant Qian Xunji has now transformed into a warm light.
Is this God?
"That's right, even gods have their duties; don't slack off."
"I understand. By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you."
"You say."
Do you know the God of Darkness?
