Tang Wulin spoke, a hopeful glimmer in his eyes.
In his previous life, Gu Yue and Na'er had fused into Gu Yuena. Although Gu Yue's memories had mainly guided the process, and he had always treated Gu Yuena as Gu Yue, the one he truly loved was still Gu Yue.
So in this life, if he could meet Gu Yue, he would definitely find a way to help her resolve the conflict between Soul Beasts and humanity.
As he thought about it, Tang Wulin's expression brightened. He was still looking forward to Gu Yue coming to find him three years from now, so the two of them could meet again.
By then, he had already thought of what to say when he faced his little wife.
Meanwhile, several vehicles came to a slow stop at Eastsea City's harbor, and more than a dozen Angel Guards began to disembark.
Le Zhengyue carried Na'er as the two of them boarded a huge Voyage Giant Ship.
It was a Voyage Giant Ship belonging exclusively to the Yue Family. However, to maintain appearances, they had sold tickets for some second- and third-class cabins, leaving only the central section for the Angel Guards and Le Zhengyue.
Watching the crowds steadily file aboard, Le Zhengyue made his way back to his room.
He set Na'er, who had been nestled in his arms, down on the small bed nearby and looked at her with curiosity in his eyes.
Although he knew the entire timeline, seeing Na'er for the first time still left him dazzled.
The little girl before him was simply too beautiful—so beautiful that she seemed as if she shouldn't belong in this world.
Her lovely silver hair, large purple eyes, and exquisitely sculpted features all marked her as extraordinary.
Even though she was only six, she was already the very picture of a future beauty.
Still, looking at the little girl before him stirred no lecherous thoughts in Le Zhengyue. She was far too young, and she had lost her memories. Besides, he had no such peculiar tastes.
But as his gaze fell on her, the system's voice finally rang out again.
[The Goddess Illustrated Handbook System has officially activated! First goddess detected: Gu Yuena!]
[The Goddess Illustrated Handbook System has three recording modes: acquaintance, romance, and a thriving family!]
[The current relationship between the two parties is acquaintance. Congratulations, host—you have received one Lucky Roulette spin.]
[The Lucky Roulette has three colors: black, red, and gold. The first mode is now unlocked, granting one spin on the black roulette.]
The roulette appeared before him, its entire surface black, with a fairly simple selection of prizes.
Aside from Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and items that could increase a Soul Ring's age by ten thousand years, there were also Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones and even ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs.
The selection was comprehensive, but actually winning any of those prizes was difficult.
As Le Zhengyue considered this, his brow furrowed slightly. The resources from his family had arrived a few days ago.
After he had discussed matters with Yue Zhengen, the family had begun gathering resources. But Le Zhengyue had left in such a hurry that he departed the day after his awakening, before they could hand anything over to him.
However, he had stayed here for several days, and the family had already delivered the resources.
The Yue Family's first batch of training resources for him consisted of twenty thousand-year-old spirit herbs, ten ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, and a hundred million Federal Coins.
There was also the Yue Family's special Angel Holy Pill. It greatly enhanced light-type Martial Souls. It wasn't useful to Le Zhengyue, but it could still help him raise his Soul Power Level, which he found quite satisfactory.
The Yue Family—or, for that matter, this world—had little understanding of alchemy.
Most people here still relied on the most primitive method: directly absorbing thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs.
The pills they commonly used were few in number, and most had been lost to time.
Faced with the situation, Le Zhengyue could only make do. Even if the Angel Holy Pill wasn't suited to him, it could help him raise his Soul Power Level and strengthen his foundation, which was already quite good.
Le Zhengyue looked at the roulette and lightly tapped it with his finger. It began spinning wildly.
It turned seven or eight times before slowing to a stop, finally landing on the ten-thousand-year-old spirit herb section.
A flash of black light appeared, and a ten-thousand-year-old spirit herb materialized in Le Zhengyue's hand.
It was a ten-thousand-year-old Dragon Blood Grass, which could improve the abilities of Dragon-type Soul Beasts to a degree.
The spirit herb was just what Le Zhengyue needed. He put it into his Storage Soul Tool, then focused his gaze on the Goddess Illustrated Handbook System.
He currently had several systems: the Gu Raising System, the God-Level Choice System, the Goddess Illustrated Handbook System, and finally the Void Merchant System.
The Gu Raising System didn't do much for now. Its main function was to keep an eye on the three protagonists, so he could track their whereabouts and seize their opportunities.
The God-Level Choice System had only triggered once, during Martial Soul Awakening. There had been no opportunity to trigger it again since.
The Goddess Illustrated Handbook System was the easiest way to obtain resources, especially through its three roulettes.
The first black roulette didn't look like much, but the red and gold roulettes that came later were self-explanatory.
"Acquaintance, romance, and a thriving family."
"Acquaintance and romance mean the black roulette at the start and the red roulette, which can offer ten-thousand-year items."
"For each female lead, I can only spin the first two roulettes once."
"But with the last one— a thriving family—as long as I have enough children, I can obtain a vast number of divine items."
As Le Zhengyue spoke, his eyes flickered slightly. He glanced at Na'er, who sat nearby in a daze, and fell into thought.
Each of these systems was top-tier on its own.
Yet even with all of them, he still didn't feel particularly safe.
His cheats were powerful, perhaps even ridiculously so, but compared to those three protagonists, they weren't all that much stronger.
Still, after acquiring the Dragon God Bloodline, Le Zhengyue had begun considering leaving.
After thinking it over, he decided not to dwell on it any longer. He would take things one step at a time. Even the best-laid plans could go awry.
Facing three protagonists he couldn't control at all, the only thing he could do was take each step carefully and make sure he faced them in his strongest possible state, with as many resources as he could gather.
So he calmly picked up the little girl before him and had an Angel Guard take Na'er to the room beside his.
As the Angel Family's people boarded, the Voyage Giant Ship sounded its horn and began to chug away from the Second Continent.
Their destination was the border of the Star Luo Empire.
Although the Sun-Moon Federation had evolved from the Sun-Moon Empire of ten thousand years ago, it remained relatively neutral regarding the Second Continent.
Or rather, the Sun-Moon Federation's goal was to swallow up the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire over there, as well as the former Sun-Moon Empire.
That was why the Sun-Moon Federation maintained connections between its ports and nearly all three empires.
