The Whereabouts of the Angel and Rakshasa Divine Artifacts, Setting Out for Shrek

Within the platinum-white Creation Space, Gu Shengge looked at the Rakshasa God and Angel God kneeling on one knee before him and calling him Master. A trace of satisfaction appeared in his eyes, and his heart was greatly fulfilled.

Although Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had chosen to submit to him for the sake of revenge, as long as they had submitted, it was a good beginning. He could slowly tame them in the future.

"Aunt Dong, Sister Xue, how much of your strength have you recovered now?"

Gu Shengge asked the Bibi Dong and her daughter, changing the way he addressed them. What concerned him most was the level to which their strength had recovered.

Although he had someone backing him in the God Realm and did not need to worry about Tang San plotting against him, he was still all alone on the Douluo Continent and needed protectors.

Hearing Gu Shengge call her Aunt Dong, Bibi Dong was slightly startled. Her gaze softened considerably as she explained in a gentle voice:

"Master, Xue and I have now recovered to the level of Title Douluo. We will no longer need to absorb your Soul Power, as we can recover on our own."

"If Master encounters danger, you can release us from this space to help you deal with your enemies. We simply cannot remain outside for too long."

"Of course, if Master is willing, you may temporarily let either Xue or me control your body. We can then display the strength of a Title Douluo as well."

After hearing Bibi Dong's answer, Gu Shengge fell into thought. Even in this era, Title Douluo were top-tier combatants. Moreover, Bibi Dong and her daughter were gods. Their true combat strength was likely even greater than that of ordinary Title Douluo.

If he encountered danger in the future, he could release them from the Creation Space. With mother and daughter joining forces, few on the continent would be able to oppose them.

This finally eased the faint worry in Gu Shengge's heart.

"Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Dong and Sister Xue to look after me from now on."

He smiled at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, and the mother and daughter nodded. Helping Gu Shengge was also helping themselves.

As long as they could kill that petty villain Tang San, they were willing to pay any price!

Just as Gu Shengge was preparing to leave the Creation Space, Qian Renxue recalled something important and called out to stop him.

"Master, please wait."

"Hm?" Gu Shengge looked puzzled. Was there something else?

Qian Renxue said, "Before I fell, I returned my divine artifact, the Angel Holy Sword, to the Angel Temple. If that petty villain Tang San did not destroy the Angel Temple, Master can use the Angel God Martial Soul to search for traces of it on the continent and retrieve the Angel Holy Sword."

The Angel Temple was the inheritance site of the Angel God. It was not located on the Douluo Continent, but was instead a small plane attached to the Douluo Plane, much like the Beast Platform in Douluo III.

However, Qian Renxue's divine position was now damaged, and only a remnant soul remained. She could no longer sense the location of the Angel Temple. If he wanted to retrieve the Angel Holy Sword, Gu Shengge would have to find it himself.

"I understand. Then what about your divine artifact, Aunt Dong?"

Gu Shengge nodded to show that he understood, then looked at Bibi Dong and asked where her divine artifact was.

Bibi Dong shook her head. She did not know where the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe was now.

However, Qian Renxue knew where her divine artifact was.

"Mother's divine artifact, the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe, was buried with her body by Hu Liena and me. But ten thousand years have brought vast changes, and the continent has shifted. I do not know whether it is still in its original location. Master can use the Rakshasa God Martial Soul to sense and search for it. You should still be able to find it."

Hearing that Qian Renxue and Hu Liena had buried her, sorrow appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Gu Shengge said, "Mm, I'll search for the divine artifacts. As for whether I can find them, that will depend on luck."

Over ten thousand years, the Douluo Continent had undergone many changes. Its landmasses had even collided, reshaping the geography. Finding the two divine artifacts would likely not be easy.

Qian Renxue told Gu Shengge where Bibi Dong's body had been buried. It had not been buried within Spirit Hall, because Spirit City had already become unsafe at the time. Thus, they had buried her body and divine artifact in a forest outside Spirit City.

However, after ten thousand years, whether Spirit City still existed was itself a question. Even its geographical location might have changed due to continental collisions.

After their conversation, Gu Shengge left the Creation Space.

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue watched his disappearing figure. The mother and daughter turned to look at each other and both sighed, hoping they had not made the wrong choice.

The next morning, as the rising sun appeared and the crowing of roosters announced dawn, Gu Shengge got up early.

He carefully cleaned the thatched cottage, packed his luggage, and stored it all inside the Life Spirit Bracelet. Then he sat silently on the edge of the bed for a long time.

Looking at the house where he had lived with Sister Green Banyan for six years, every piece of furniture and every object within it was filled with memories. A faint reluctance rose in Gu Shengge's heart. Thinking of so much, his eyes could not help but redden slightly.

But no matter how reluctant he was, he could not stop here.

"It's time to go."

Gu Shengge murmured. He rose and left the house, locked the door, and sealed away every trace of his former life within the small thatched cottage. Then he turned and left without hesitation.

Shrek City, where Shrek Academy was located, lay over a thousand kilometers from Eastsea City. The journey was long, so Gu Shengge hired a Soul Guidance Carriage in Eastsea City. It could travel a thousand kilometers a day and would reach its destination in less than two days.

The Soul Guidance Carriage was much steadier and more comfortable than an ordinary carriage, and the journey was free of much jolting.

Gu Shengge sat cross-legged, his hands resting flat upon his knees. He closed his eyes and focused, while his breathing gradually entered a peculiar rhythm. Behind him, the Life Divine Tree, seemingly carved from green jade and emerald, flickered in and out of sight. Its branches and leaves were lush, tender green and full of vitality, as vigorous as the sea.

With every breath, the energy between heaven and earth entered his body through his mouth, nose, and pores. It flowed through Gu Shengge's internal organs, limbs, and bones. A jade-green radiance faintly circulated beneath his fair skin, nourishing and strengthening every piece of flesh, every inch of bone, and every strand of meridian. His body emitted a faint jade glow, while a strange and pleasant fragrance spread through the carriage.

After completing one great circulation through Gu Shengge's body, the life energy finally returned to his dantian and transformed into threads of platinum Soul Power, repeating the cycle over and over.

The duration of a Soul Master's cultivation depended on the strength of their body. Gu Shengge's body had been strengthened by three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, and the [Blessing of the Life Goddess]. Its toughness was no weaker than that of a Soul Sage, while his cultivation time and energy conversion efficiency far surpassed those of Soul Masters at the same level.

Others could only cultivate for one hour a day and absorb only ten points of energy in that hour.

Yet he could cultivate for twelve hours a day and absorb one hundred points of energy every hour.

That was the difference.

Meanwhile, three figures emerged from the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. They were none other than Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya, and the others.

---God Realm---

In the God Realm, a pink-blue-haired girl used the authority Tang San had given her over the lower realm to open a plane passage leading to the Douluo Plane, then leaped inside.
