Life Goddess Bestows Her Divine Position

As Su Mu's number one admirer on the entire continent, Bibi Dong always put Su Mu first, no matter what she did.

No matter what happened, Su Mu was always her top priority.

Hu Liena and Xie An had also benefited from Su Mu. The age of their third soul rings was somewhat higher than they had expected.

Although the soul ring ages they absorbed were nowhere near as outrageous as Su Mu's and Bibi Dong's, they were more than satisfied.

Beyond that, Su Mu was also their benefactor.

If not for Su Mu, they might have long since died at the jaws of soul beasts.

Bibi Dong also told the two of them about her encounter with Tang Chen.

"That damned Clear Sky Sect. They bullied Su Mu like this—I definitely won't let them off."

Xie An and Hu Liena both revealed looks of anger.

What was so impressive about a little hammer?

What good was it if their character was bad?

"There's no need to bother with Tang Hao. For now, there are only four of us. If we want to expand further, we'll need to find three more people."

Su Mu was actually planning to bring Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin into the group. The Jade-Scaled Snake martial soul was also a pretty good choice.

"Boss Su, do you have anyone in mind?"

Xie An asked Su Mu. Su Mu definitely had his own ideas about this matter.

First, Su Mu had traveled the continent for a long time. Second, he had seen and experienced much. Those two points alone could basically help them overcome danger.

His reputation outside was especially good. Mentioning Su Mu was enough to convince everyone.

"Yes. Dugu Bo's son, Dugu Xin," Su Mu said.

"Him!"

Xie An paused, clearly not expecting it to be Dugu Xin.

"You know him?" Su Mu asked curiously.

"Not exactly. We've met before. Last year, Na'er and I went to Heaven Dou City and happened to run into him. It's just that his father, Dugu Bo, is an old stubborn man and doesn't seem easy to talk to."

Xie An had a fairly good impression of Dugu Xin, but not of Dugu Bo. He looked like the kind of person nobody wanted to provoke.

Especially when Spirit Hall was mentioned, Dugu Bo kept his distance.

"I have a way to deal with Dugu Bo. Tomorrow, we'll set out for Heaven Dou City."

Su Mu naturally had his plans. It also happened to be on the way to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

It was time to make a trip there as well and prepare in advance for the Soul Master Tournament.

"Boss Su, are we going together?"

Xie An made sure to ask first.

"Of course. Why are you still so worried? Didn't you follow me everywhere before?"

Su Mu asked in return, feeling that something was off about Xie An.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Xie An smiled and scratched his head.

The main reason was that the last time he had followed Su Mu, Bibi Dong had nearly scared him to death.

She had said he was interrupting her date with Su Mu.

That had been the time he felt most wronged. They had clearly been carrying out a mission, yet she called it a date. Who could stand that?

"That's it for now. I need to go back and rest."

After giving his instructions, Su Mu was already somewhat tired and needed to return to the palace to rest.

"Dong'er, chat with Xie An and the others. I'll rest by myself for a while."

Bibi Dong had been about to follow him excitedly, but the moment she heard that, she immediately wilted. Still, when she thought of how they would be traveling together again tomorrow, she became happy and expectant once more.

Once Su Mu returned to the palace, he flopped straight onto the bed.

That was right—he was simply going to rest and sleep.

Not long after he lay down, his consciousness was suddenly pulled into a space.

Before Su Mu had fully awakened, a voice as gentle as the language of gardenias reached his ears.

"Wake up, little one. Wake up."

Su Mu thought it was Bibi Dong, but when he listened carefully, he realized it was an exceptionally gentle female voice, not Bibi Dong's lively one.

He instantly jolted awake. The moment he opened his eyes, a woman's figure appeared before him.

She wore a long aqua-green dress, with jade-green hair falling over her shoulders. Her features were delicate and gentle, her brows and eyes soft, and her aura warm and peaceful. She carried a sacred air of all things returning to life.

"You're awake, little one. I thought you were going to sleep for a long time."

The woman spoke with a smile, a faint curve at the corners of her lips.

"Who are you?"

Facing Su Mu's question, the woman smiled slightly. "I am the Life Goddess, and this is a separate space. You needn't worry about danger, because it is very safe here."

The Life Goddess!

Su Mu was shaken. He had never expected a god to come looking for him, much less for the Life Goddess to come personally—and so soon after he had broken through to Soul Ancestor.

"Greetings, Senior," Su Mu said with a smile.

"No need for such formality. And what is with your appearance?" The Life Goddess looked at Su Mu.

His beauty was peerless, his skin fair and flawless, and his exquisitely painted brows and eyes surpassed even those of women.

"What a rare beautiful man. It wouldn't be appropriate to call you anything else, but beautiful man suits you well."

The Life Goddess said with a smile.

"You flatter me, Senior. I'm merely a little good-looking."

Su Mu was extremely modest.

"Merely good-looking?" The Life Goddess chuckled. "You're still being too modest."

Su Mu laughed twice and did not pursue the subject.

"Enough, let's not talk about that."

"You have only just reached the Soul Ancestor realm, so you clearly do not know certain things. I am the Life Goddess of the Divine Realm, and I have come specifically to grant you my Life Divine Examination. As long as you complete the divine examination, you can become a god."

The Life Goddess explained with great seriousness.

In truth, she had stayed long enough. Now that she had finally found a suitable candidate, she naturally would not let him go.

"Why was I chosen?"

Su Mu pretended to ask in confusion.

"Because of your martial soul's healing abilities, as well as the many people you have traveled and treated over the years. Your merit is immeasurable."

The Life Goddess said with a smile.

The Life Goddess had naturally investigated everything Su Mu had done. She also thought highly of this successor's character. Even when Tang Hao had mocked him, she had seen it all.

That was why she had chosen to bestow the divine examination early, so those people would shut up.

Besides that, she was also afraid other gods might make a move first.

"Then what is my first examination?" Su Mu asked.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until you finish the Soul Master Tournament. Besides, my divine examination may have other requirements as well."

The Life Goddess naturally wanted Su Mu to marry and have descendants, so that other gods could bestow divine examinations upon them.

There were too many gods who wanted to leave the Divine Realm.

"Alright, then. It's only a matter of time."

Su Mu felt much better.

He had a divine position now, and it was even the Life Goddess's.

Right, the Life Goddess was the Destruction God King's wife. Had the Destruction God King found a successor as well?

Otherwise, it would definitely be impossible for the Life Goddess alone to leave.

Suddenly, a crack tore open in the space before him, and a man draped in a heavy purple-black cloak stepped out. His hood concealed his face, revealing only two crimson points of light.

When he drew closer, the man lifted his hood, revealing a handsome face. His dark-red short hair stood upright like steel needles, and an aura of destruction surrounded him.

"Xiao Lu, you actually found a successor behind my back, and it's even a girl... No, it's a boy."

After discovering that Su Mu was male, the Destruction God King became somewhat interested and leaned closer to inspect him.

"He's quite good-looking. He should be the continent's most beautiful man."

The Destruction God King paced around Su Mu, observing him.

Su Mu felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

The Life Goddess grabbed the Destruction God King's arm.

"Xiao Zi, what are you doing? You're frightening him."
