Ah Yin's Shock!

Seeing Zhong Lingyue make a move to kneel, Ah Yin felt a surge of nervousness.

After all, this was her first time facing a daughter-in-law in the capacity of an elder, and for a moment, she was at a loss for what to do.

Ah Yin hurriedly reached out both hands, intending to help Zhong Lingyue up.

"Good child, get up quickly; there is no need for such a grand gesture."

Ah Yin's voice was very soft, carrying a natural, maternal radiance.

Tang Xiao, standing to the side, smiled slightly and waved his hand. A gentle wave of blue-gold divine power lifted Zhong Lingyue's body, preventing her from actually kneeling.

"Lingyue, Mother is currently in a soul-body state and has yet to reshape her physical form, so you don't need to be so formal."

Tang Xiao said softly from the side.

Zhong Lingyue stood up accordingly, standing awkwardly to the side with her hands folded in front of her and her head slightly bowed—the very picture of a docile young wife.

Where was the demeanor of the Empress who, just moments ago, commanded ten thousand troops and held the reins of a nation's governance?

Ah Yin stood nearby, her beautiful eyes curiously sizing Zhong Lingyue up.

The more she looked, the deeper the affection in her eyes grew.

Zhong Lingyue was not only exceptionally beautiful and elegant in temperament, but the respect and gentleness she displayed toward her were clearly not put on.

More importantly, Ah Yin could sense that the soul power flowing within Zhong Lingyue was both pure and powerful.

"Good, truly a good girl."

Ah Yin took Zhong Lingyue's hand; although her own palm was still illusory, that feeling of warmth was still transmitted across.

"It is Xiao'er's good fortune to be able to marry a wife like you."

Hearing Ah Yin's praise, a faint blush appeared on Zhong Lingyue's fair, pretty face, and she lowered her head shyly.

"Mother is too kind; being able to marry His Majesty is the greatest luck of Lingyue's life."

Watching the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law getting along so harmoniously, Tang Xiao felt a slight warmth in his heart.

He turned his head to look at the depths of the magnificent imperial palace ahead and spoke:

"Alright, Mother, let us first head to the Blue Silver Temple in the depths of the palace."

"Although your soul has stabilized under the protection of my divine power, if we do not reshape your physical body soon, it will affect your future cultivation."

Hearing Tang Xiao bring up the serious matter, the expressions of both Ah Yin and Zhong Lingyue became earnest.

"Your Majesty, I have already had the temple cleaned; it can be used at any time."

Zhong Lingyue reported softly from the side.

Tang Xiao nodded and, with Ah Yin in tow and guided by Zhong Lingyue, walked toward the depths of the imperial palace.

Along the way, Ah Yin curiously examined this grand palace.

She discovered that the architectural style of this palace was completely different from that of the Douluo Continent.

The buildings here were more majestic and imposing, and every palace was surrounded by Blue Silver Grass emitting a strange glow.

These Blue Silver Grass seemed to possess intelligence; as Tang Xiao passed by, they would slightly bow their leaves as if paying him respects.

Not long after, the three arrived before a massive, ancient temple.

This temple was constructed entirely from a strange blue crystal, emitting a vast and boundless aura of life.

In the center of the temple stood a colossal statue that reached into the clouds.

The appearance of that statue was none other than Tang Xiao.

Around the statue, countless Blue Silver Grass converged into massive vines, spiraling around the stone pillars of the temple like giant dragons.

Standing within this temple, Ah Yin felt the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within her body begin to boil frantically.

The life energy here was concentrated to an appalling degree.

"Xiao'er, the life aura here... how could it be so terrifying?"

Ah Yin could not help but exclaim.

She even felt that not even the Lake of Life in the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest could compare to the concentration of life energy here.

Tang Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the statue in the center of the temple, and said calmly:

"Mother, I have said before that my subjects are spread across this continent."

"And the Blue Silver Grass here is all connected to my origin."

"I can mobilize the power of the billions of Blue Silver Grass across this entire continent at any time and converge it into a single point."

Tang Xiao turned his head to look at Ah Yin, his voice carrying a touch of absolute confidence.

"In a moment, I will use the life force of this entire continent as a catalyst, combined with my Blue Silver Supreme Origin, to reshape a flawless, god-level physical body for you."

"This body will not only allow you to recover your former cultivation but will even allow you to ascend in one step and possess the qualifications to challenge for a godhood."

Listening to Tang Xiao's words, Ah Yin stood frozen on the spot.

Her eyes flickered with confusion and shock as she stammered:

"You... what did you say?"

"Mobilize the power of the entire continent?"

"Xiao'er, are you already capable of integrating the power of this entire continent?"

As a former hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Ah Yin knew all too well what this meant.

Integrating the power of a continent was a feat that no mortal could even imagine.

Even the gods of the God Realm would have to pay a heavy price to achieve such a thing.

Yet, listening to Tang Xiao's tone, it seemed like nothing more than a trivial matter to him.

Beside them, Zhong Lingyue watched Ah Yin's shocked expression, pursed her lips into a smile, and softly explained:

"Mother, His Majesty is now the sole ruler of this continent."

"His will is the will of this continent."

"Let alone mobilizing the life force, even making this continent move would not be a difficult task for His Majesty."

Hearing Zhong Lingyue's explanation, Ah Yin took a deep breath, struggling to calm her suffocating heart.

She looked at Tang Xiao before her, her eyes filled with pride and glory.

This was her son!

The child who had been heartlessly abandoned by Tang Hao had now become the supreme God King who ruled over an entire continent!

Just as Tang Xiao prepared to take action to reshape Ah Yin's physical body:

Hum!

Suddenly, a strange humming sound resonated throughout the heavens and the earth.

The sound was grand and solemn, as if it originated from the depths of the universe, carrying an irresistible, supreme majesty.

Tang Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly and turned to look at the void in the distance.

High above the sky at the boundary between Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent, the golden Sky Screen, which had been motionless, erupted with ten thousand rays of golden light in that instant.

The brilliant golden light, like a brand-new sun, dyed the entire sky a radiant gold.

[The Great Dao Golden Ranking, opening once again!]

The grand voice echoed in the minds of every living creature.

At this moment, whether it was the Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, or Spirit Hall Empire on Douluo Continent, the soul beasts deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, or the citizens of the Blue Silver Empire on the Sun Moon Continent.

Everyone looked up, casting their gazes toward the golden ranking in the sky.

"It's starting again!"

"I wonder which rank of the Strongest Power Ranking will be revealed this time?"

"The previous fifteenth place, Golden Crocodile Douluo, already received such heaven-defying rewards and ascended to a ninety-nine-level peerless Douluo."

"This fourteenth place must be even more terrifying in strength than Golden Crocodile Douluo; what kind of astonishing rewards will they receive?"

Countless powerhouses speculated in their hearts, their eyes gleaming with greed and anticipation.
