Clouds shifted endlessly, at times rolling like turbulent waves, at others resembling a serene beauty. Each transformation followed no fixed rule, yet carried an even greater aesthetic and shockwave of beauty.
Dense Heaven and Earth Essence Power lingered within these clouds. This was a place mortals could never reach in a lifetime: the Divine Realm.
Lofty palaces glittered with golden brilliance under the illumination of the Divine Realm's halo. This was the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, as well as the place that controlled everything within it: the God Realm Committee.
In the center of this God Realm Committee stood a table. Five people sat around the round table, with Shangguan Li seated right in the middle.
"The next God of Destruction and Goddess of Life will arrive in the Divine Realm very soon, and the remaining affairs will be handed over to them. I'm going to leave this place."
Shangguan Li had waited for nearly a thousand years, and finally awaited the successor of her dreams.
Shaohua also happily celebrated for Shangguan Li, "You're finally getting rid of that tedious Divine Realm. Congratulations, let's go celebrate together."
"Indeed, I can finally feel freedom after such a long time." Shangguan Li could not help but sigh as well. Although the Divine Realm was exceptionally beautiful, she had stayed here for goodness knows how many years; no matter how stunning the scenery, there came a time when one grew tired of it.
The instant Yun Ming and Ya Li became gods, Shangguan Li unbound them from the system, allowing them to become free individuals no longer constrained by it.
Originally, Shangguan Li also wanted to release the contract between herself and Qiao Di and Little Pear, but neither of them was willing. They hoped to follow by Shangguan Li's side forever, protecting her and guarding her for all time.
Although Shangguan Li expressed helplessness, she still chose to respect their wishes; if they ever wanted to dissolve the contract, she could do it at any time.
When Shangguan Li selected her successors, she began to busy herself, not only organizing the matters that needed to be handled beforehand, but also silently watching over the successors and protecting them to prevent them from perishing halfway.
Furthermore, Shangguan Li held three godhoods; not everyone was like her, capable of accepting two or three godhoods alone, so her three godhoods required three separate successors.
After passing all matters entirely to the successors, the burden on Shangguan Li's shoulders vanished completely. Although she did not dislike bearing such heavy responsibilities, given the choice, she still wanted to be a free adventurer.
"A'Li, where are you going next?" Ya Li asked. Neither Ya Li nor Yun Ming chose to pass on their godhoods, wishing instead to remain in the Divine Realm.
This was because they had children, and their second child was still in a Lower Plane of the Divine Realm; they had to watch over him as he grew here and protect his safety at critical moments.
Now, moreover, their first child had also become the God of Destruction. With these ties binding them to the Divine Realm, they naturally would not choose to hand their godhoods over to others.
Shangguan Li shook her head, "I don't know either, but let's rest for a while first."
This had also been Shangguan Li's original plan, but the moment she woke up the next morning, she discovered that this place was unexpectedly the Star Dou Great Forest.
What on earth was going on? She had merely taken a nap, so how had she ended up on the Douluo Continent? And what was this? Weren't these Soul Beasts? Shouldn't the Soul Beasts of the present era be in the Soul Beast Divine Realm? Why were they still on the Douluo Continent? Could these be the descendants of the remaining Soul Beasts on the Douluo Continent?
Although everything before her eyes was not unfamiliar, Shangguan Li still felt somewhat flustered. In just a brief, fleeting moment, Shangguan Li's spiritual sense had already swept across this entire Douluo Continent, and she discovered the presence of several living beings that had no business being on the continent.
Very quickly, Shangguan Li reacted: this period of time ought to be the past. Judging from the civilization of the Douluo Continent, this was extremely similar to the time she had spent on it.
Moreover, Shangguan Li even caught sight of someone she had killed-Tang San was actually still alive, the person near him was a Soft Bone Rabbit, and the ones at the central lake were the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
Sure enough, this was the original Douluo Continent novel world where Shangguan Li had not yet transmigrated.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Li could not help harboring an impulse to stir up trouble. She absolutely could not let this Tang San grow up; even if she was not around, her present self would strike him down.
Shangguan Li discovered that Tang San was actually already on his way to Heaven Dou City. That being the case, Tang San was likely about to obtain Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well opportunity soon.
That simply would not do; Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well must never be given to this ungrateful villain.
To ensure the safety of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Shangguan Li rushed to the Sunset Forest at the earliest possible moment, where she saw Dugu Bo suffering in agony within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"You seem quite troubled?"
Originally there was no one here, and only Dugu Bo knew of this location; coupled with the fact that Dugu Bo had placed poisonous barriers around this treasured land, this sudden voice nearly caused Dugu Bo to suffer a deviation in his cultivation.
Shangguan Li merely raised her hand slightly, lifting Dugu Bo out of this state. This incident made Dugu Bo realize that the woman before him possessed unfathomable strength, perhaps even surpassing the current Pope Bibi Dong.
"Who are you? What are you doing here to find this old man?"
Dugu Bo had no idea when he had provoked such a terrifying individual, or rather, that the Douluo Continent actually harbored such a terrifying existence in hiding.
Shangguan Li smiled faintly. Just this smile left Dugu Bo in a momentary daze; this was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on, and he had not expected her smile to shine upon him like a beam of light.
"I am merely here to help you. The poison within your body is incurable, is it not?"
Poison!? This word shocked Dugu Bo even more. Sure enough, his intuition just now had not been wrong; this woman's strength was unfathomable, and fortunately he had not provoked her.
"Does Your Excellency have a way to help me detoxify? If so, this old man is willing to exhaust every effort to assist you."
Actually, without Dugu Bo making such a promise, Shangguan Li would have helped the Dugu family anyway. It was just that right now, Shangguan Li wanted to gain control of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and could only utilize Dugu Bo's promise to her in order to take charge of this place.
"Very well. As long as you swallow this, the poison in your body will be cured, though the premise is that you must trust me."
"I believe." Although Dugu Bo was somewhat suspicious, the woman before him possessed unfathomable strength. If she wanted this place or his life, she had no need to go to such great lengths, let alone trick him into swallowing poison.
Therefore, Dugu Bo swallowed the pill without the slightest hesitation, because the pill Shangguan Li had given him was contained in a jade bottle that held exactly two pills.
Dugu Bo swallowed the pill so quickly also to conduct an experiment for Dugu Yan, as he likewise wanted his granddaughter to rid herself of the toxins brought by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor at an early date.
Before long, the effect of the pill took hold. Black liquid oozed from Dugu Bo's entire body, while he himself felt immensely relaxed.
Three days later, the toxins in Dugu Bo's body had been completely cleansed. He now appeared utterly reborn; rather than looking like an elderly man with white hair as before, he now resembled a young man.
"I wonder what Your Excellency's honorable name is? From today onward, you are the savior of this old man, Dugu Bo. If there is anything you need, feel free to come to me for help."
