Return to Douyi

"More than."

Ye Qingcang shook his head.

His gaze swept over the fifth Soul Ring Fifth Soul Ring, the one provided by the Ice Empress.

He slowly untied the rope that had previously held the jade pendant, now empty due to the pendant's shattering, from his waist and gently placed it into his bosom.

Then, he explained calmly, "Instead of viewing Soul Ring Soul Ring as the final grade of a graduation exam, it's better to think of them as part of a test paper. When you've finished learning multiplication and division, and then look back at addition and subtraction, you'll suddenly realize that addition and subtraction are actually quite simple. Before you hand in this test paper, you'll have plenty of time and opportunities to revise the addition and subtraction questions on it and use more sophisticated methods to calculate the results."

"So, one day, we'll also be able to increase the age of our Soul Ring?" Xiao Xiao pondered, her intelligence still intact. "That sounds incredibly difficult... This must be the authority of the Deity, right?"

"Nothing is easy if you want to become stronger!" A little girl with green hair and golden eyes slowly appeared beside Ye Qingcang, rippling outwards in circles of transparent waves. Her green-soled, white-faced boots were adorned with gold patterns and emeralds. Her fair legs were flawless. Her dress, made of white, green, and a little gold, reached her knees. A white-gold scorpion tail, inlaid with a large emerald, swayed restlessly behind her. On her head was a large white-gold bow, which seemed to be personified as some kind of organ. "As for the method of increasing the age of Soul Ring, it's not entirely the authority of the Deity... In fact, a long, long time ago, humans tried to fuse Soul Ring Fusion, but due to various reasons, they were forced to end in failure or death. So, over time, no one dared to try to Soul Ring Fusion anymore."

Xiao Xiao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Bai Chenxiang and Ye Lingling nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Wang Dong'er looked at the little girl with surprise.

With a questioning tone, he inquired, "Could you be from Ice Empress?"

"Am I going to be the Snow Empress or something?" The Ice Empress rolled her eyes and retorted irritably. Then, she glared at Ye Qingcang, "Hey, what do you mean...? Your Spiritual Space is locked! Are you planning to make me live outside forever?"

"I have a big secret in my Spiritual Space, a secret that can only be known by me... Anyway, living outside isn't a problem, right?" Ye Qingcang changed the subject somewhat guiltily, ignoring Ice Empress's hesitant pointing and introducing everyone to Ice Empress in turn. "Alright, alright, let's get to know each other... This is Sheng Cai'er, my girlfriend; this is Bai Chenxiang; this is Ye Lingling, my secretary; this is Wang Dong'er, who was fostered by my family, but whether she will be a secretary or do other work depends on her training; this is Xiao Xiao, a friend of mine... We'll talk about the others when we meet them, but remembering these few is enough for now."

"Sheng Cai'er".

"Bai Chenxiang and Ye Lingling."

"Wang Dong'er".

"Xiao Xiao".

Ice Empress greeted everyone one by one, nodding, "I've memorized it all!"

"Alright, then we can go back now." Ye Qingcang pointed his fingers like a sword and gently slashed downwards, instantly splitting the space in front of him. He stepped into it. "The sooner we finish, the sooner we can call it a day. When we get back, we need to bring the people from the Earth Dragon Gate back to their Returning to Ancestral Clan!"

Sheng Cai'er and Ice Empress are inseparable.

Following them were Bai Chenxiang, Ye Lingling, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao.

They walked together into the spatial rift.

The gap in space closed silently after a short while.

It heals automatically, leaving a smooth, new-looking finish that blends seamlessly into the surroundings.

Even those few insignificant footprints were hidden under the wind and snow, quickly smoothed out and disappeared in the howling cold wind.

On the other side.

Nan Shuishui and Nan Qiuqiu had also packed their luggage.

As the sect leader of the Earth Dragon Gate, she absolutely could not be absent from such an important event as Returning to Ancestral Clan, and she could not even have someone else attend in her place. Otherwise, it would be a great disrespect. As for why Nan Qiuqiu was also packing her luggage, it has to be said that Nan Qiuqiu was stubborn.

Even though Nan Shuishui repeatedly assured that nothing would happen.

Nan Qiuqiu also insisted on following Nan Shuishui.

There are many reasons.

For example, excuses such as wanting to visit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family from ten thousand years ago, not being of any use staying in the Earth Dragon Gate, or wanting to have a good spar with the young people in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

In any case, there is only one core reason: fear that something might happen to the Nan Shuishui Diversion Project!

Nan Shuishui couldn't go against her daughter's wishes.

They had no choice but to let Nan Qiuqiu follow along.

As for the Earth Dragon Gate, it will be temporarily handed over to the Great Elder of the Earth Dragon Gate for management.

In addition, to be on the safe side.

Nan Shuishui also brought a Third Elder with her.

And two disciples who were carefully selected.

All five people have been packed and ready.

They returned to the previously arranged location and waited with the bored Huo Yuhao, along with the Great Elder of the Earth Dragon Gate and others.

Ye Qingcang is too bloodthirsty.

Ye Qingcang's methods are too ruthless.

The Sky Dragon Gate was destroyed in an instant, which is terrifying to think about. If they had underestimated Ye Qingcang at some point, just like the Sky Dragon Gate, could the Earth Dragon Gate, whose strength is far inferior to the Sky Dragon Gate Earth Dragon Gate, including its members, have survived under Ye Qingcang's wrath?

Then, Nan Shuishui and the others who were about to leave arrived.

Great Elder Earth Dragon Gate others, who didn't need to leave, also arrived.

Fortunately, Ye Qingcang was a man of his word. Before the sun had even set, just as dusk was falling, a familiar-looking spatial tunnel opened up in front of Nan Shuishui and the others.

Ye Qingcang took the lead and stepped out from among them.

Following closely behind were Ice Empress and Sheng Cai'er.

After that, the configuration remains the same.

But for Sky Dream Ice Worm, his thoughts were quite complicated at this moment.

He both hoped Ye Qingcang would fail and succeed. He hoped Ye Qingcang Ye Qingcang fail because he didn't want Ice Empress to become someone else's possession. Although Ye Qingcang had preserved Ice Empress's soul with principle, this was only a fact based on principle. If Ye Qingcang disregarded or even trampled on principles, then Ice Empress would not only lose her freedom but also everything, including her dignity, and there was a strong possibility that she would completely transform into Ye Qingcang's shape. He hoped Ye Qingcang would succeed because he wasn't 100% confident in creating a god. As long as Ye Qingcang didn't suddenly lose his mind, Ice Empress would definitely become a god and live forever with Ye Qingcang. Back then, the Poseidon Tang San was able to revive the Soft Bone Rabbit Xiao Wu, which was enough to prove that Ye Qingcang had the ability to revive Ice Empress after becoming a god.

On this confusing and unpredictable road.

If even one person can get out, then they should get out as quickly as possible.

Sharing weal and woe is truly worthy of praise.

But as a man, and as someone who secretly admires Ice Empress, he couldn't bring himself to ask Ice Empress to share his hardships. Besides, in Ice Empress's heart, he was just food from beginning to end.

Therefore, for Sky Dream Ice Worm, at this moment, he felt as if Ye Qingcang had outdone him, even though Ye Qingcang was not actually outdone.

However, although Sky Dream Ice Worm chickened out, Ice Empress was seething with anger.

Human prejudice is like a mountain.

Scorpion's prejudice, no matter how you look at it, is a small mountain.

Sky Dream Ice Worm's disguise was excellent; even a level 99 Limit Douluo like Mu En couldn't see through it. However, in front of the Ice Empress, whose strength was no less than Mu En's and who was extremely familiar with Sky Dream Ice Worm, this disguise was simply a futile attempt to cover up the truth. The Ice Empress was so angry that she laughed in a sarcastic tone, saying, "Tianmeng, I'm truly sorry, I overestimated you. In my expectations, even if you condescended to choose someone, you would at least choose a human Soul Saint. You can't waste the millions of years of cultivation you've accumulated... I really didn't expect it! You actually chose a human brat who's not even level 20. Do you really believe he's stronger than the God Trial Taker beside me and can defeat you before level 10, making you submit?"

These words, once uttered, were like a thunderclap piercing through clouds Lie Shi, deafeningly powerful.

Ye Qingcang never regarded being God Trial Taker as an honor.

But people don't think so.

If there were a device to test loyalty at this moment, it would be clear that above the heads of Nan Shuishui, Nan Qiuqiu, the Great Elder of the Earth Dragon Gate, and others, the approval rating of 100 points was instantly maxed out, and the loyalty rating also instantly soared to over 90 points. Cohesion, obedience, sense of honor, and so on all surged to near full marks.

That is why it is said.

Nan Shuishui immediately understood why Ye Qingcang was the current patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, instead of Yu Yuanzhen, who was the last patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, as recorded in the history books.

In the era when Yu Yuanzhen was alive.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family has entered a vicious cycle.

There was no way to change the Destiny of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family being destroyed by the Spirit Hall. No matter how many Title Douluo appeared, it would be useless. In front of the Spirit Hall, which possessed two Deity, they were as fragile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Even if the Three Upper Sects joined forces, the result would be the same.

Only the God Trial Taker!

Only future Deity will appear!

Only then can the situation on the mainland be balanced!

This explains why Ye Qingcang became the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Family members are always more trustworthy than outsiders like Poseidon Tang San. Moreover, with Yu Xiaogang connecting them to Tang San, the Asura God Test Taker and Sea God Trial Examiner, and Ye Qingcang, the unknown God Trial Taker with an unknown background, the Three Upper Sects could immediately possess the strength to rival the Spirit Hall if they united.

Moreover, and most importantly, Three Upper Sects have their own remaining branches.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School remains a powerful force to this day.

There are several titled Douluo within the sect.

He's just not as good as Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

The Clear Sky Sect has closed its gates and is not coming out.

However, there should be Super Douluo in charge within the sect.

Although the Sky Dragon Gate is gone, their Earth Dragon Gate still exists.

In addition, Shrek Academy is also present.

Yu Xiaogang's lineage still exists, for example, Mu En.

"The future looks incredibly promising!"

Nan Shuishui was secretly pleased with herself, unaware that Ye Qingcang was on the side of the Spirit Hall, and that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had also changed sides.

"Ah... well... Bingbing, let me explain..." Nan Shuishui and the others could remain silent or let their imaginations run wild, but Sky Dream Ice Worm couldn't play dead, especially given that the Ice Empress had named her. Left with no other choice, she slowly floated out of Huo Yuhao's body, wearing a hooded jumpsuit and under the Ice Empress's murderous gaze. "I had no choice!"

"Please call me by my full name, Ice Empress!"

"And besides, I don't need your explanation!"

No matter how many reasons you have no other choice, it doesn't change the fact that I look down on you!

Ice Empress pointed at the nose of the Sky Dream Ice Worm.

He cursed loudly, his face as cold as ice.

It turns out that it's not only women who become unreasonable when angry; female scorpions can also be irrational when angry.

However, what's even more shocking is his identity.

"Ice Empress?" Looking at the scorpion tail behind the green-haired, golden-eyed little girl, Nan Shuishui, who had just snapped out of her beautiful fantasy, widened her eyes again and exclaimed, "Ice Empress, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts?"

"Could there be any other Soul Beast or other people who would dare to use this name?"

Ice Empress gave a cold laugh.

He hasn't changed his sarcastic tone yet.

Nan Shuishui was choked and speechless.

He raised his hand, shielding himself from the Sky Dream Ice Worm.

He gestured for Sky Dream Ice Worm to shut up, as he didn't want to listen either.

After adjusting her breathing for a couple of seconds, with a gentleness that Sky Dream Ice Worm had never seen before, she urged Ye Qingcang beside her, "Let's go. Seeing him makes me unhappy!"

Actually, this is not the gentle side of Ice Empress.

Ice Empress only ever showed true gentleness to Snow Empress.

Currently, the communication with Ye Qingcang can only be described as equal and somewhat respectful, but it can't compare to the fact that when facing Sky Dream Ice Worm, the Ice Empress's attitude is always one of shouting for battle and killing. Not to mention a kind face, there isn't even a kind tone. Now, in comparison, Sky Dream Ice Worm is struck like lightning, and the illusion in her heart is instantly shattered.

Even the reasons given were perfectly reasonable.

"Yes... she's always been an Ice Jade Scorpion who believes in the survival of the fittest!" Sky Dream Ice Worm remained silent, hiding inside Huo Yuhao's body and merging into his Spiritual Space. Then, she burst into tears, "And I'm just a worm with a million years of cultivation who only knows how to eat... it's perfectly normal for her to like Lord Ye!"

Electrolux: "..."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Are there two possibilities?

First, this is unrequited love, a crush, so it's normal to be rejected.

Secondly, Ice Empress didn't mean that at all; you're just overthinking it.

We thought to ourselves, Ice Empress and Ye Qingcang didn't do anything intimate. They didn't hold hands or kiss, and they always kept a distance of more than two meters, which we estimated to be about three or four steps.

Your judgment is completely unreasonable!

"Heh!" Noticing the retreat of the Sky Dream Ice Worm, the Ice Empress sneered.

However, she did not press the matter further.

Past experience told her that if Sky Dream Ice Worm was determined to survive, no matter how harsh her insults were, Sky Dream Ice Worm would not be tricked into revealing itself.

It's not worth fighting to the death with an Ice Silkworm that never fights back, never retaliates, and can't be found anywhere. There's no need to get angry yourself.

So, Ice Empress crossed their arms.

She stood to the side with a cold expression.

He stood alone, arrogant and aloof.

This gave Ye Qingcang a terrible headache.

With a wry smile, he took out his staff and looked at Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao: "You two, are you planning to stay here, or go back to the academy?"

"Go back to the academy."

Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao said in unison.

There's no point in staying in this unfamiliar place.

Besides, they still have to undergo assessments!

Shrek Academy is a platform suitable for most Soul Master to grow safely!

"Alright." Ye Qingcang his cane, and a purple magic circle unfolded, teleporting Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao away. "Then we'll meet again if fate allows..."

After saying that, he changed the subject.

A purple magic circle then unfolded beneath their feet.

He nodded to the Great Elder and others of the Earth Dragon Gate.

Immediately, the figure vanished.

They have crossed galaxies and descended upon the Blue Tyrant Academy once more.
