In the early morning, beneath the slightly tipsy sunlight, the three of them landed in a clearing far from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Having absorbed his Soul Ring and taken another nap on his father's back, Minghui was naturally wide awake. After sitting down for breakfast, he saw his teacher, Du Busi, looking his way and immediately perked up, vividly recounting the full story of how he had dreamed of two gods.

Could my disciple be the Reincarnation of some Deity? Du Busi could not help but reassess him, and even his gaze changed.

It burned with unusual intensity.

If that was true, wouldn't he have a chance to teach a god?

Just like Yu Xiaogang, who had taught Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago.

In terms of talent, his disciple also possessed Twin Martial Souls. He would not be inferior to Tang San back then. In terms of teaching ability, he was certainly no worse than Yu Xiaogang, that so-called theoretical master whose Innate Soul Power had only been Level 0.5 and who had been stuck at Level 29 for years!

Thinking of this, Du Busi's confidence surged, and his heart burned even hotter.

"Brother Du," Ming Chen said, "to be honest, my Qing Luan Sect has already decided to erect a statue of the Goddess of Life for worship."

He also told him that they had already sent people to the Sun Moon Empire to purchase Image Conductors.

"By the time we return to the Sect, they should have arrived."

"Hui'er's affairs are this teacher's affairs too. Get Old Man one when we return as well!" Du Busi declared righteously.

If his disciple truly was the Reincarnation of a Deity, then why had he reincarnated in the first place? And why had he reincarnated into this world?

To undergo trials, and spread faith while he was at it!

That was Du Busi's first thought.

Having traveled the continent for so many years, he had never heard of anyone worshipping the Goddess of Life. He had not even heard that divine title. Meanwhile, the gods taught by Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago were still renowned to this day.

Therefore, the most likely possibility was that the two gods his disciple had dreamed of had also set their sights on this world.

As for the relationship between those two gods and his disciple...

To be honest, he suspected they had been his disciple's parents before his Reincarnation. After all, those two gods happened to be husband and wife!

If that was true, then everything made sense!

"Whether it is or not, this is an opportunity!" Du Busi's eyes flickered, and his heart swelled with excitement.

Wasn't the biggest reason Shrek Academy had become famous throughout the world and remained prestigious to this day because it had produced seven gods ten thousand years ago?

If Shrek Academy could do it, why couldn't his Body Sect!?

He, Du Busi, would teach a god too!

Although he did not know what his teacher was thinking, Minghui felt that he was reading a little too much into things. Looking at Du Busi's blazing gaze, Minghui thought as much.

But wasn't this exactly what I wanted?

The Body Sect had many high-level combatants, so the Faith Power they produced should be of higher quality.

That should also draw the Goddess of Life's attention more easily, right?

The original work had explicitly mentioned that the God Realm had been formed from the gathered mental power of all living beings.

And in Minghui's opinion, the stronger a creature's cultivation and Spiritual Power, the greater the intensity of the mental power it produced should be.

"Since that is the case, Brother Du, why not return to the Qing Luan Sect with this younger brother first?" Ming Chen said with a smile. "That way, before Hui'er leaves for your Sect, my wife can spend a little more time with him."

"Then I shall trouble you." Du Busi smiled as well.

A young child was about to travel far from home, and it was only natural for the parents to wish to spend more time with him before he left. By reason and sentiment alike, Du Busi could not refuse.

Minghui felt that he had been ignored again. That was how it was for young children—they had no say in front of their elders.

With a silent sigh, he simply packed up and set off once more with the two Big Bosses.

Several days later, they arrived at the Qing Luan Sect without incident.

After chatting for a while, Qingyi took out an Image Conductor and had her son simulate the Goddess of Life. While personally experiencing that unique Life Aura, she and Du Busi each used an Image Conductor to copy one image.

As for more copies, they could simply duplicate them from those later.

"Hui'er, simulate the other one as well," Qingyi said after a moment of thought. "It would be good to make a copy and keep it ready."

They did not have to worship him, but they could not go without one either. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to a god. At the very least, having one would show their attitude—they were not refusing to worship him, but merely felt that worshipping a faceless image would be truly discourteous, which was why they had not erected a stone statue.

Besides, she also wanted to see whether her son could simulate the other god's aura.

Although she could not understand that aura, she felt it was absolutely a power that surpassed soul power, likely something related to divine power. Not being able to understand it now did not mean she would never be able to. Once she reached a certain level, these firsthand experiences might perhaps help her future cultivation.

Du Busi had thought of this as well and nodded slightly. "That makes sense."

Having no say in the matter, Minghui had nothing to say. Before everyone, he activated his Simulation Soul Skill again and closed his eyes to recall the God of Destruction.

Even now, he still could not simulate him with his eyes open. With the surrounding scenery and people staring at him, he found it difficult to concentrate.

My skin still isn't thick enough!

I am far inferior to Tang San in that regard. I need to keep working at it.

Before long, the space at his side distorted, revealing a tall and straight figure. He wore a large purple cloak, his face concealed from view, making his features completely impossible to see. Yet two clusters of red light could be faintly glimpsed flickering within the hazy darkness.

"This... he looks like someone you really don't want to provoke!" Seeing that red light, Du Busi's heart inexplicably skipped a beat, and he was secretly alarmed.

The next moment, a terrifying aura suddenly leaked out.

The expressions of all three elders changed. Every hair on their bodies stood on end, each one warning them of danger, and they instinctively took a step back.

"This is a destruction attribute!" Du Busi was the first to steady himself, speaking with a grave expression. "The Sun Moon Empire's imperial family occasionally inherits a Beast Martial Soul called the Purple Radiance Dragon of Annihilation. Its attribute is destruction. Old Man has sensed it more than once, so I cannot be mistaken."

"However, the feeling it gives Old Man is completely different. They are as far apart as clouds and mud, even though that person was already a Titled Douluo."

If he had not known in advance that this was a simulated aura, the instant he sensed it, he might have turned and run.

Although the aura his disciple had simulated was very weak, with his cultivation and Spiritual Power, his perception of danger was extremely keen. Thus, the moment this aura emerged, it gave him a feeling of extreme danger, as if there was absolutely no possibility of survival should he face it.

He suddenly felt that his disciple's acquisition of this Simulation Soul Skill had been the greatest bargain of all. With this aura alone, even Fierce Beasts would have to take a detour when they saw him.

Without knowing beforehand, Du Busi would certainly stay far away the moment he sensed it.

"So this Deity is a god who governs destruction?" Ming Chen immediately followed up.

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life were husband and wife—what kind of pairing was that? Both husband and wife were puzzled.

Their attributes were completely opposed. Could they even have children? And the attributes did not match either, did they?

Their gazes could not help but drift toward their own child.

Could it be because their attributes were opposed that something had gone wrong with his body after he was born, so they sent him down to reincarnate? Thoughts raced through Du Busi's mind as his gaze also shifted toward Minghui.

Could the power that had interfered with his probing of his disciple's body back then have been sealed Power of Destruction?

As for the Power of Life, the Radiant Plume Divine Bow's unique Light Attribute was at least somewhat related to it.

"All right, all right, stop reading so much into it." Minghui opened his eyes and met the gazes of the three, dearly wishing he could say those words aloud.

"Ahem, let's begin as well." Du Busi gave a light cough, put on the Image Conduction Helmet, and began copying the image.

Ming Chen followed immediately after.

"With this appearance, perhaps it would not be impossible to set up only a projection instead of erecting a stone statue." Qingyi thought to herself as she stood to one side.

Before long, the image had been copied.

"Brother Du, why not stay here as a guest for the night and set off tomorrow morning?" Qingyi came back to herself, glanced at her son, then looked toward Du Busi with a smile.

"Then I shall impose on you." Du Busi nodded slightly.
