Soul Engineers Clear the Way, a Two-Million-Year Soul Beast Escorts Them, Two Deities March Along, and Two God Kings Hold Command

Holy Spirit Continent.

Countless Soul Masters sneered in unison at the clamoring from Douluo.

They still wanted rewards?

Fine!

They would get their rewards.

And once they received them, they could die!

Let those rewards become their final burial offerings.

But jokes aside, there was one problem that truly was a problem.

Finding it would indeed take some effort.

After all, the vast world held every imaginable wonder. Fishing a hidden continent out of the boundless planes was easier said than done.

Yet on the Holy Spirit Continent, where soul guidance technology flourished, and before a Level Fifteen Divine Soul Engineer, none of that posed a problem.

It was simply that ordinary Soul Masters knew nothing of this.

Holy Spirit Temple.

As the gathered God Kings watched the clamoring from Douluo, the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.

They had arrived on the Holy Spirit Continent fifty thousand years ago.

For fifty thousand years, they had swept across the continent without meeting a single worthy opponent.

Never before had anyone dared treat their Lord this way!

Soronson was the first to step forward. Black energy churned in the depths of his eyes, and his voice was cold as tempered steel.

"They've gone far too far!"

He took another step forward, dropped to one knee, and cupped his fist to request battle.

"I am willing to take the lead and march out with the Holy Spirit Continent's Soul Masters and Soul Engineers."

"I will have our artillery blast their divine statues to rubble, and make them watch as the protectors they kneel and beg before shatter one by one!"

"I will crush every last shred of their wishful thinking with sheer strength, and show them how foolish it is to pin their hopes on gods they cannot even see!"

"For this battle, I request the vanguard!"

Upon the Throne, Lin Yan nodded.

"Granted."

"I will choose one more."

Before his words had faded, Holy War Gaia strode forward, rushing to volunteer.

"I want to go too!"

Lin Yan glanced up and rejected him outright.

"Forget it. Let your elder brother Rey go."

Holy Thunder stepped forward and cupped his fist in acceptance.

"Yes, my Lord!"

Gaia froze on the spot, his face full of indignation.

"You never send me when there's a fight!"

"You'll have plenty of fighting later."

At Lin Yan's casual reply, Gaia withdrew resentfully, still muttering under his breath.

With the commanders chosen, it was time to notify the Soul Masters, Soul Engineers, and Soul Beasts.

Then Lin Yan spoke again.

"Ao Che."

"Jun Mowen."

"Azure Abyss Ancient Whale."

"Lingxiao."

"Come to the Holy Spirit Temple at once."

He spoke lightly, yet his voice rang like mighty bronze bells, resounding across the entire Holy Spirit Continent!

In an instant, hundreds of millions of people looked up.

"The Holy Spirit God King is preparing to act!"

"He moves this quickly? He only just issued his declaration of war, and he's already appointing commanders and mobilizing!"

"Show those natives-the Holy Spirit Continent cannot be insulted!!!"

In the waters beyond the Holy Spirit Continent lay the Azure Abyss Sea Eye.

Deep beneath the sea, the eyes of that slumbering, colossal silhouette suddenly opened!

"The Holy Spirit God King's command!"

"It seems I should show the fruits of all these years of cultivation too!"

Amid rumbling thunder, light flowed across his thousand-mile whale body as it abruptly shrank and condensed.

He assumed a human form.

He was a black-robed man with stern features, his entire body wreathed in unfathomably dark dragon energy. Within his eyes, vast seas seemed to flicker into existence and fade away.

He raised a hand and tore.

Space ripped open like cloth. He stepped inside, and the tear sealed behind him.

The Sea Eye returned to silence.

Soul Guidance Temple.

By now, Lingxiao had finished the disassembly, and every component of the Level Sixteen Soul Tool had been fitted back into her body.

Countless records concerning level sixteen had also been completed.

Hearing the summons, Lingxiao opened her eyes, a stream of luminous data flashing through them before vanishing.

"I'm heading out. Organize the records."

"Yes, Chief!"

Several Level Fourteen Divine Soul Engineers answered in unison and watched their chief leave.

The soul tool components throughout her body lit up one after another. Deep-blue circuits crisscrossed her surface, tracing out an array.

Hum!

A ripple spread through the space before her. Lingxiao stepped into it, her figure becoming a streak of light as she vanished from the spot.

Only the lingering resonance of the level-sixteen components remained within the temple, refusing to fade for a long time.

Imperial Abyss Hall.

Standing before the hall's gates, Ao Che heard the voice that resounded across the continent.

"Coming."

He slightly turned the hand gripping the Abyss-Suppressing Spear, pointing its tip toward the highest heavens-

Whoosh!

The Abyssal Sea before the hall surged upward in a thunderous reversal. Hundreds of millions of tons of azure water rose from the ground, spiraling and taking shape above his head until they became a towering Dragon Gate spanning heaven and earth!

Within the Dragon Gate, emerald waves billowed, and faint dragon roars echoed.

Spear in hand, Ao Che stepped into the Dragon Gate.

The dragon's body contracted, and both man and gate scattered into a sky full of shimmering water.

By the time that shimmering water fell back into the abyss, no one remained before the Imperial Abyss Hall.

Only the dragon energy filling the hall continued to bow toward the direction of his departure.

Heaven-Slaying Pavilion.

On the Stargazing Platform, Jun Mowen opened his eyes.

The God King's summons reached his ears clearly.

Without another word, he slung the Azure Nether Heaven-Slaying Sword across his back and laid the Nameless Sword horizontally at his waist-

With both swords upon him, he stepped off the Stargazing Platform.

Boom!

In the vast void beneath his feet, a white rainbow shot skyward, bearing him aloft and becoming a streak of sword light that spanned the heavens!

Where the sword light passed, the river of stars gave way, and the sea of clouds was cleaved in two, unable to close again for a long time.

That night, countless beings on the Holy Spirit Continent saw them:

A Dragon Gate formed from azure waves, and a white rainbow tearing through the curtain of night.

One rose from the abyss; the other descended from the heavens.

Two mighty First-Level Gods headed together for the Holy Spirit Temple.

Holy Spirit Temple.

The four entered one after another, until all had arrived.

The instant they stepped through the temple gates, all four instinctively swallowed.

Within this enormous palace, Holy Spirit power was so dense that it had almost become tangible. Like mist, like an ocean, it seeped in fine strands into every limb and bone with each breath they took.

They felt that the barrier which had held them at their bottleneck for years was actually beginning to loosen.

Simply standing here and breathing was cultivation.

This was the Holy Spirit Temple.

Then they saw the scene within!

Fourteen figures stood in two rows to either side.

All fourteen God King Level titans of the Holy Spirit Continent were present, without a single one missing.

Normally, meeting even one of these beings was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Now all fourteen were gathered in this great hall.

Like guards, they watched over the man upon the Throne.

The legendary Holy Spirit God King, Lin Yan.

This was also the first time the four of them had seen him.

They looked toward him.

Upon the Throne, Lin Yan sat as he always did, his expression utterly casual.

They had expected an elder of boundless majesty, yet he turned out to be a handsome young man.

Lingxiao instinctively swallowed.

He's rather handsome...

Unfortunately, someone like him is beyond any improper thoughts I could entertain!

Then the four knelt.

"Greetings, God King!"

Lin Yan raised a hand.

"We're all on the same side. There's no need for ceremony. Rise."

The four stood.

"I summoned you today for one thing alone:"

"You will march with the two God Kings I appointed earlier, and teach the Douluo Continent a little lesson."

"Are the four of you willing to shoulder the duty of putting down these rebels?"
