" The Star Luo Empire?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan frowned slightly and subconsciously asked, "Could it be that you plan to complete High Priest Bo Saixi's request ahead of schedule?"

She can still recall Bo Saixi's entrusting expression when they left Sea God Island.

It's heartbreaking to see.

The Sea God Douluo had waited for Tang Chen for over a hundred years, and now his Life was nearing its end. His only wish was to see that person one last time before he died.

Dugu Bo's gaze also shifted to Lin Mo.

He also knew that when Lin Mo and the others returned from Sea God Island, they had accepted a commission from High Priest Bo Saixi.

The task was to find Tang Chen Tang Chen far as possible and get him to go to Sea God Island.

"Yes and no."

Lin Mo changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. "Do you all remember where San got Tang Chen out of there?"

"You mean the Slaughter City..." Ye Lingling narrowed her eyes slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in her purple eyes.

"But what does this have to do with you going to the Star Luo Empire to find Tang Chen?" Dugu Yan was full of confusion, her emerald green eyes filled with doubt.

Lin Mo stopped keeping him in suspense. "Since you still remember the City of Slaughter, then you must also remember what my main purpose was in going there to Slaughter City, right?"

As the words fell, a point of white light spread outwards from Lin Mo as the center.

His greatest Harvest in the Slaughter City was the Divine Slaughter's Domain.

A chilling, murderous aura permeated the pavilion as if it were tangible, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling shivered involuntarily.

The Charizard, which was lying on Ye Lingling's lap, raised its head, its tail swaying gently, and its blue eyes looked at Lin Mo.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded slightly, recalled for a moment, and said, "I remember the reason why you insisted on going to the Slaughter City was that there was a legacy left behind by a god there."

Similar to the Sea God Inheritance found on Sea God Island...

At this point, Dugu Bo paused, his gaze lingering on the Divine Slaughter's Domain released by Lin Mo: "It seems there was an unexpected turn of events in the end. You didn't manage to obtain the divine inheritance, but only the key to unlocking it, which is this Divine Slaughter's Domain."

"That's right."

Lin Mo nodded slightly. "However, it's not because the conditions for inheritance are too harsh that I was unable to inherit it."

Rather, it's because someone has already gotten there first; the divine legacy left behind in the Slaughter City already has a successor.

That is, the ruler of the Slaughter City known as the King of Slaughter...

"But what is the relationship between the King of Slaughter and Tang Chen?" Ye Lingling still had some doubts.

She had seen the news about Tang San and his group's return; Tang Chen was the old man who followed behind Tang San and Tang Hao.

That once invincible Peak Douluo is now like a walking corpse.

She didn't understand why Lin Mo suddenly changed the topic from King of Slaughter to Tang Chen.

"Because the King of Slaughter is Tang Chen."

Lin Mo inadvertently revealed this shocking news, which was like a bolt from the blue for everyone.

A moment of silence fell over everyone.

Dugu Yan's emerald green eyes suddenly widened, her mouth slightly open, but no sound came out.

Ye Lingling was also stunned, her purple eyes filled with disbelief.

Is Tang Chen the King of Slaughter?

The contrast between these two identities is too great.

One is the previous generation sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, Peerless Douluo was already famous throughout the world a hundred years ago.

One is a bloodthirsty ruler who has ruled the Slaughter City for decades.

They're actually the same person?

"If I hadn't known that the legacy was in his hands, and that I probably wouldn't have been his match at that time."

"If it were an ordinary Titled Douluo possessing this level of inheritance, I would have tried it no matter what back then. There's no way I would have waited until now..."

Soon, Dugu Yan, who was also a successor of the gods, grasped the key information in Lin Mo's words.

She stared at Lin Mo: " A-Mo, do you mean that the inheritance Tang Chen received is different from the inheritance that I and Qian Renxue received?"

Is it replaceable?

As the possessor of the Sea God's Nine Trials, she was well aware of the Ability of Godhood Inheritance.

Once the Sea God's legacy falls upon her, there is absolutely no possibility of a second successor unless she dies.

But Lin Mo's words made her doubt her own self-perception.

"That's right."

Lin Mo nodded again, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "As I said before, the Divine Slaughter's Domain is the key to unlocking that inheritance."

In other words, every possessor of the Divine Slaughter's Domain is actually qualified to inherit the legacy of that god.

If the legacies left by the Sea God and the Angel God are focused on specialized training, then the legacies left by the god of the Slaughter City are like casting a wide net...

"It's like casting a net to catch fish; the wider the net is cast, the more fish you can catch."

That god didn't care who would ultimately inherit his Godhood; as long as that person possessed the Divine Slaughter's Domain and could pass his test, they would be qualified to inherit his Godhood.

"You can do that?"

Dugu Bo's lips twitched involuntarily, a wry smile flashing in his snake-like eyes, "I'm even a little tempted..."

But recalling the cruel rules of the Slaughter City, Dugu Bo couldn't help but dismiss the thought.

The rules there are too cruel and bloody; whether you can get out once you go in is another matter entirely.

"Not only that."

Lin Mo smiled and then said, "Based on what I sensed from my several encounters with Tang Chen in the Slaughter City, something unexpected happened during Tang Chen's divine inheritance process."

He seemed to have forgotten his original identity, which is why he stayed in the Slaughter City for so many years as the King of Slaughter.

That's why I had the idea of Snatch this divine inheritance from Tang Chen...

After hearing Lin Mo's words, the absurd idea that had been in Dugu Bo's mind vanished without a trace.

Even Peak Douluo like Tang Chen failed in this divine inheritance. If a Level 97 Titled Douluo like him goes, he probably won't even make a ripple.

It seems that this divine inheritance in the Slaughter City is indeed quite troublesome.

He's someone who doesn't even have the Divine Slaughter's Domain; going there would be pointless for him.

Moreover, even if he were to miraculously reach the Divine Slaughter's Domain, given his current strength and age, attempting to break into the divine inheritance would likely be a one-way trip.

It's more practical to just stay put, tend to your own little plot of land, and wait to hold your great-grandchild.

At this moment, another doubt in Dugu Bo's mind was also immediately resolved.

When Lin Mo first returned from the Slaughter City, he clearly missed the incredible opportunity of inheriting a divine legacy, yet Lin Mo remained remarkably calm.

Not Slaughter City, but even when he missed the Sea God Inheritance, Lin Mo remained completely at ease.

Ultimately, the reason lies here.

Lin Mo had made multiple preparations and was confident that he could obtain other inheritances.

Even if he missed out on the Sea God Inheritance, Tang Chen's inheritance still awaits him.

At worst, we can wait until we're strong enough to kill Tang Chen and seize this inheritance.

As for any unforeseen events that might occur during the inheritance process, since Lin Mo dared to make this decision, he must already have a plan to deal with them.

Even if you miss out on both of these inheritances, there's still the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a backup.

Dugu Bo shook his head and sighed, "You kid, you've really kept your abilities hidden."

If you hadn't brought it up yourself today, we probably still wouldn't know why you were so calm back then.

Lin Mo smiled but didn't reply.

Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in Ye Lingling's eyes. "If A-Mo's really as you say, then we really shouldn't go to the Star Luo Empire."

At this point, Ye Lingling paused, her gaze becoming more serious. "With Tang Chen as a cautionary tale, you shouldn't end up like him, right?"

Although Ye Lingling didn't know exactly what had happened to Tang Chen, she was still somewhat worried.

For Tang Chen to forget his original identity and stay in the Slaughter City as the King of Slaughter for so long, there must be a powerful background behind it, most likely involving a god.

Her purple eyes were full of concern, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.

Dugu Yan also looked at Lin Mo, her emerald eyes filled with the same worry.

"That's definitely not the case."

Lin Mo shook his head, his tone resolute. "If there weren't a way to eliminate the flaws in the inheritance, I wouldn't have even considered taking Tang Chen's share..."

"As for arranging for Senior Tang Chen to meet Senior Bo Saixi, that's just a matter of convenience..."

At this point, Lin Mo's tone suddenly changed.

He always keeps his promises.

But the prerequisite is that Tang Chen must be willing to hand over the item.

If Tang Chen is sensible and willing to hand over the Asura Demonic Sword, then he wouldn't mind helping this ill-fated couple.

If Tang Chen doesn't know what's good for him, then we'll have no choice but to take action.

In any case, his primary goal for this trip was the Asura God Godhood, Bo Saixi's request was only a side effect.

Dugu Bo nodded. "It's good that you're confident. Although that old guy Tang Chen has cultivated for over a hundred years longer than you, with your current strength, dealing with him shouldn't be a problem."

Lin Mo was already able to defeat Bo Saixi when he reached Level 89.

Lin Mo's cultivation has now broken through to Level 98, and his Charizard even possesses Million-Year Soul Ring.

No matter how strong Tang Chen is, he could never be a match for Lin Mo in his current state.

Lin Mo nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

He knew in his heart that if Tang Chen was willing to communicate after he woke Tang Chen up, then they could have a good talk.

Having determined the next course of action, all that remained were the final preparations before departure.

Lin Mo didn't interfere further and left it to Ye Lingling and the others.

Ye Lingling nodded. "Leave it to me. The journey to the Star Luo Empire is long, and we need to prepare a lot of supplies. I will make a list and have someone buy them."

Dugu Yan chimed in, "I will also arrange for someone to investigate the situation in the Star Luo Empire beforehand."

Although I've received some messages before, it's still good to confirm them again.

This refers to the events that occurred within the Star Luo Empire after Dai Mubai.

A harsh and tyrannical regime with extremely strict laws, where even minor offenses are severely punished.

Although this news has reached the Angel Empire, more detailed information is needed to determine its extent.

Dugu Bo stood up, his dark green robe swaying slightly. " Old Ye and I, those two old fellows, won't be going."

The sect still needs someone to oversee things, and with your current strength, you don't need us to come along."

"Besides, if Old Ye and I both go, there'll be no one to look after the kids at home. Who knows what kind of trouble they might cause."

Lin Mo nodded and bowed slightly to Dugu Bo: "Thank you for your trouble, Grandpa."

Dugu Bo waved his hand, turned around, and left the pavilion.

His footsteps faded into the distance and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance, and the two women stood up to prepare for their departure.

Lin Mo himself went to the Angel Empire Palace under the cover of night.

Angel Empire, Imperial Palace.

Qian Renxue's palace was brightly lit, with several Soul Guidance Lamp emitting a soft glow.

She was wearing a white silk nightgown and sitting in front of her dressing table combing her long hair.

Her long, golden hair cascaded down her back, shimmering softly under the light. Her nightgown clung to her body, outlining her slender waist and full curves.

The hem of the skirt barely covered the top of her thighs, revealing a pair of shapely and slender legs.

Qian Renxue, who had just finished washing up and was about to go to sleep, suddenly heard a slight noise outside the window.

She subconsciously looked up and saw that familiar figure had appeared in the palace at some point.

Qian Renxue on the spot, her golden eyes suddenly widening.

The wooden comb in her hand stopped in mid-air, then fell onto the dressing table with a thud.

How did this man suddenly barge in?

This is her palace!

Lin Mo, on the other hand, acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world. He walked to the bedside, sat down, and looked Qian Renxue up and down with his gaze.

" Sister Xue, it's been a long time."

Qian Renxue snapped out of her daze, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down. "How did you get in? Where are the guards outside?"

Although the palace guards couldn't stop Lin Mo, they should at least have been able to sound an alarm.

But now it's quiet outside, as if nothing has happened.

They didn't spot me.

Lin Mo said casually, "With my current strength, it would be incredibly easy for me to enter this place without alerting them."

Qian Renxue bit her lip, momentarily at a loss for words.

This person, as always, doesn't play by the rules.

What does he think this place is? This is the imperial palace!

Before she could even speak, Lin Mo had already stood up, walked over to her, and pulled her up from the chair.

Qian Renxue exclaimed in surprise, and before she could react, Lin Mo had already swept her up in his arms.

Her long, golden hair traced an arc in the air, and the hem of her nightgown swayed gently.

"You..."

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were sealed with a kiss.

Lin Mo kissed her forcefully, Qian Renxue's body stiffened at first, then gradually softened.

Those golden eyes slowly closed, their eyelashes trembling slightly.

Her hands unconsciously wrapped around Lin Mo's neck, responding to the kiss.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Qian Renxue was panting heavily, her chest heaving, and her delicate face was flushed.

Lin Mo placed her on the bed and leaned over her.

A night of passion and pleasure.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains.

The bed was a mess, with the blankets piled haphazardly to one side.

Qian Renxue leaned against Lin Mo's chest, her long golden hair scattered messily on the pillow, her face still flushed.

Her breathing had calmed down, but her golden eyes still held a hint of unreality.

Lin Mo leaned against the headboard, one arm around her shoulder, the other gently stroking her smooth back.

His gaze fell on Qian Renxue's face, his tone full of teasing. "Does this count as me spending the night on the dragon's bed?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue, who was already exhausted, couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She didn't even have the energy to argue with Lin Mo anymore; this man's stamina was too much for her to handle alone.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, her voice still hoarse. "What brings you here this time? You can't have deliberately abandoned your two lovely wives at home to come and be with me, can you...?"

Lin Mo is the kind of person who never visits the palace without a reason. This sudden intrusion into the palace at night must not be just for a romantic encounter with her; he must have another purpose.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo stopped keeping him in suspense.

His hand remained on that Limber spot, feeling the bulge in his palm, and subconsciously began to knead it:

"I'm planning a trip to the Star Luo Empire, would you like to come along?"

"Go to the Star Luo Empire?"

Qian Renxue frowned slightly, ignoring Lin Mo's actions. "Are you really planning to listen to Grandpa's advice and take over the Star Luo Empire as well?"

"That's not it."

Lin Mo shook his head slightly. "The purpose of going to the Star Luo Empire is for Tang Chen."

When I left Sea God Island, I promised Senior Bo Saixi that if I could find Senior Tang Chen Tang Chen on the mainland, I would arrange for him to visit her on Sea God Island.

Qian Renxue nodded slightly, waiting for him to continue.

Lin Mo continued, "As for why I wanted you to come along, it's because Tang Hao is there too. If I remember correctly, Tang Hao is still on your Spirit Hall's wanted list."

The reason for the warrant is that he is the main culprit in the death of the previous Pope, namely your father, Qian Xunji...

This is also why Lin Mo wanted to bring Qian Renxue along.

This allowed Qian Renxue to simultaneously complete her revenge.

Tang Hao was, after all, Qian Renxue's open enemy who killed her father.

Although Lin Mo knew that the real reason for Qian Xunji's death was not solely due to Tang Hao, Tang Hao was only an important instigator.

But there was no need for him to reveal this at this time. Letting Qian Renxue finish off Tang Hao herself would be a relief for her.

The final test of divine inheritance is more about testing the character of the inheritor. If one can achieve enlightenment, it will be a good thing for Qian Renxue.

This will help her pass her Angel's Ninth Trial more smoothly.

As for the other minor reason for spending the night on the dragon bed, it was Lin Mo's small desire for Payback.

Because of the matter concerning the Emperor and Empress.

Lin Mo hadn't forgotten that the title of "Empress" that had inexplicably appeared on him within the Angel Empire was all thanks to the woman in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately fell silent.

She lowered her eyes, her golden eyelashes casting a shadow on her face, and a complex emotion appeared on her delicate features.

If it weren't for the fact that when Tang San, Tang Hao, and Tang Chen had just returned, her Angel Nine Trials were at a critical stage, and she couldn't get away for a short time, she probably would have brought people to surround Tang Hao back then.

He sought revenge for his father in order to achieve clarity of mind and body.

Her father's death has always been the deepest pain in her heart.

Now that the crucial Seventh Trial is over, the Eighth Trial only requires time, so I can finally take care of my father's blood feud.

Qian Renxue closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes again, those golden eyes were filled with icy killing intent.

After a long silence, she suddenly looked up at Lin Mo and said, "Since we're going to the Star Luo Empire, why not just make things clean and thorough from the start?"

How so?

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, his palm returning to that warm spot, gently kneading it.

Qian Renxue ignored his little gesture and continued, "Since you want to walk the three paths to godhood together, the Power of Faith of the Angel Empire alone is probably not enough."

Since we're keeping to ourselves with the Spirit Hall Empire for now, it would be better to take over the Star Luo Empire as well.

With the support of two great empires, I believe you'll be able to gather Power of Faith even faster...

Qian Renxue explained, a thoughtful glint in her golden eyes.

"Although the Star Luo Empire is not as vast as the Heaven Dou Empire, its total population is about the same as that of the Angel Empire."

If you can also absorb the Power of Faith from that side, it will greatly help your future path to godhood.

Lin Mo frowned slightly. "How exactly do we do it? We can't just subdue people by force, can we? Although that might suppress them for a short time, it probably won't do any good for collecting Power of Faith."

The situations of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire are completely different.

Qian Renxue initially plotted to seize control of the Heaven Dou Empire, but she spent decades lying in wait for this purpose.

First, they gained actual control over the upper echelons of the country before proceeding with the plan to change the country's name, promising benefits to all levels of society, thus ensuring a smooth transition of the dynasty.

But the Star Luo Empire cannot do that.

Although Dai Mubai seized the throne from his brother with Tang San's help, he was ultimately a member of the Dai Family, making his succession a legitimate one.

If Lin Mo were to overthrow Dai Mubai by force and ascend the throne himself, he would be seen as an invader by the people of the Star Luo Empire.

Even if he is very powerful, the people will not truly believe in him.

"It's difficult in some ways, but it's also quite simple in others."

Qian Renxue saw the doubt in Lin Mo's heart and smiled mysteriously.

She sat up from his lap, her long golden hair falling down, obscuring half her face, revealing her delicate collarbone and rounded shoulders, which gleamed softly in the Morning Sun.

"Just like your classmate Tang San, why don't you go and support a puppet emperor?"

Tang San helped Dai Mubai become the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, so why can't you help Zhu Zhuqing become the emperor of the Star Luo Empire?

The Zhu Family is no weakling; they are the second most powerful family in the Star Luo Empire, second only to the Dai Family...

This time, Qian Renxue's voice carried a hint of seduction, and her golden eyes gleamed with a cunning light.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes flickered slightly.
