Xuan Ming, Gu Yuena, Ice Dragon King, Fire Dragon King, Bibi Dong, Bo Saixi, Qian Renxue, Xiao Wu, Hu Liena...
Ten genuine God King level powerhouses emerged like mushrooms after rain!
This power is enough to make any divine realm tremble, enough to reshape the power structure of the entire Divine Realm.
The entire Divine Realm seemed to have instantly returned to the ancient era of the Dragon God, a glorious age long lost in the river of history, a time when gods stood tall and powerful figures emerged in great numbers!
Bibi Dong, Bo Saixi, and the others, who had just stabilized their realm, didn't even have time to fully savor the joy brought by the surge in power.
They all turned their gazes toward the very center of the Divine Realm —that forbidden zone shrouded in the chaotic, indistinct light of Creation God.
They could clearly feel that the source that gave them new life and strength was right there.
There was no communication, nor was any communication necessary.
Several dazzling streaks of light, radiating the aura of God King, pierced the sky of the newly born Divine Realm, rushing towards the God's Forbidden Land with complex yet urgent emotions.
Chapter 473 Goddess Team
The outer perimeter of the God's Forbidden Land.
Xuan Ming sensed several familiar yet powerful auras of God King rapidly approaching, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He could imagine what would happen next.
Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Bo Saixi... these beings, who just moments ago had various complex entanglements in the mortal realm, have now all become God King, arriving with immense power and even more complicated emotions. Add to that Xiao Wu, Hu Liena, and the others...
A Asura of epic proportions is practically a foregone conclusion.
Previously, he was burdened by a series of heavy pressures, including the responsibilities of the Dragon Clan, the trials of the Divine Realm, and the order of the continent. His way of thinking became simple and direct, with solving problems as the highest priority. He would push away or avoid emotional entanglements whenever possible.
But now, the crisis has been completely resolved.
The Divine Realm is expanding, Douluo Star is evolving, and friends and companions are all ascending to the heavens, gaining self-preservation and eternal Life.
The heaviest burdens weighing on his shoulders vanished in an instant.
Without the pressure, his normal human mind, capable of feeling awkward and embarrassed, finally returned to its original state.
The business matters have been perfectly resolved; what follows is the unavoidable personal matter...
The thought of facing so many pairs of resentful, inquisitive, and perhaps even angry eyes at the same time sent chills down Xuan Ming's spine, even with his current state of mind.
Just as he stood frozen in place, pondering whether to grit his teeth and face the situation or find an excuse to slip away temporarily, a figure blocked his way.
The Ice Dragon King crossed his arms, watching his embarrassed expression with amusement, his icy blue eyes full of mockery.
"What? Now you're scared?"
Xuan Ming coughed lightly, saying somewhat helplessly, "I'm not afraid..."
"Alright, stop explaining." The Ice Dragon King interrupted him directly, a "I understand" look on his face. "You, you don't even blink when dealing with world-destroying matters, but when it comes to these women's private affairs, you become a coward."
She glanced at the approaching streaks of light in the distance, her eyes sharpening.
"However, it's time to stop here." The Ice Dragon King's voice suddenly turned serious. "Brother, you've done enough for them, for this world. You shouldn't have to shoulder the remaining mess alone."
Xuan Ming was slightly taken aback, not yet understanding the meaning behind her words.
The Ice Dragon King, however, had already fully demonstrated her sense of responsibility and initiative as the "older sister." She turned around abruptly and shouted in Gu Yuena's direction, " Gu Yuena! This is your responsibility! Talk to them properly! Don't let them take their anger out on their younger brother!"
Gu Yuena had clearly anticipated this scene, and smiled helplessly, nodding slightly in the direction of the Ice Dragon King.
Upon receiving the response, the Ice Dragon King no longer hesitated. She grabbed Xuan Ming's arm, unleashing her Ultimate Ice Divine Power at the God King level, transforming into a dazzling stream of ice-blue light that soared into the sky!
" Sister Bing, what are you doing...?" Xuan Ming was a little confused by this sudden action.
"I'll take you away! What else?" The Ice Dragon King's voice came through the Godwind, carrying an undeniable air of dominance.
"You idiot, you should get some rest too! Let the women handle the rest!"
Before the words were even finished, the two of them had already turned into a tiny dot on the horizon and vanished without a trace.
A moment later.
Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Bo Saixi, Xiao Wu, Hu Liena, and a group of newly promoted God King and goddesses at the peak of the First-Level God arrived at the outer perimeter of the God's Forbidden Land at almost the same time.
However, all they were met with was Gu Yuena, who looked like she had a stomachache.
"Where is Xuan Ming?" Bibi Dong spoke first, her voice icy, her sharp gaze sweeping across the surroundings.
"He..." Gu Yuena pointed to the sky, saying with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Was taken away by the Ice Dragon King."
"Took them away?" Qian Renxue frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in her golden eyes.
They forcibly dragged her to the Divine Realm, but then she ran away?
Gu Yuena sighed, shrugged, and said, "She said Xuan Ming is too tired and needs to rest. As for the rest, let us... discuss it ourselves."
These words instantly created an incredibly awkward atmosphere.
The women exchanged bewildered glances, their prepared words now stuck in their throats. They could sense the powerful aura emanating from each other, both being at the God King Realm, and read the same complex emotions in each other's eyes.
Xuan Ming ran away.
This most difficult problem was left to them.
Looking at this "goddess team," which could be described as the most luxurious and dangerous in the history of the Divine Realm, Gu Yuena felt her head begin to ache.
It seems this negotiation is destined to be anything but easy.
The Divine Realm, a remote star system.
A dazzling streak of icy blue light pierced the void, finally stopping in a peaceful and serene place.
Surrounded by mountains and shrouded in ethereal mist, a silver waterfall cascades down from the clouds, resembling a celestial river, crashing into the emerald pool below and splashing up millions of sparkling water droplets that refract a rainbow of colors under the sunlight.
The Ice Dragon King, accompanied by Xuan Ming, slowly descended onto the blue stone beside the waterfall.
She let go of his hand, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery around her, a trace of reminiscence flashing in her icy blue eyes.
"This... used to be my territory in the Divine Realm." Her voice was soft, carrying a hint of barely perceptible emotion. "But now, everything has changed."
My former playmates have long since perished over the years, and the palaces of the past have turned to dust in history.
The only thing that remains unchanged is perhaps this ever-flowing waterfall.
Xuan Ming didn't speak, but simply looked at her quietly. He could feel the loneliness in her heart that spanned millions of years.
The Ice Dragon King withdrew her gaze, turned around, and gently sat down on the bluestone. She patted her leg and nodded at Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming obediently lay down, resting his head on her soft, slightly cool thighs.
The Ice Dragon King naturally reached out and adjusted his head to a more comfortable position, then gently held him in his arms.
Neither of them spoke again.
The roar of the waterfall became the only background noise.
Xuan Ming closed his eyes, feeling the reassuring aura emanating from the Ice Dragon King. His nerves, which had been tense for so long, finally relaxed completely at this moment.
He was really exhausted, not just physically, but also mentally.
After an unknown amount of time, long enough that Xuan Ming was almost asleep, the Ice Dragon King's cold voice slowly rang out.
"How do you plan to... handle your relationship with Qian Renxue?"
Xuan Ming opened his eyes, looked at the sky above him, which was somewhat blurred by the mist from the waterfall, and remained silent for a moment.
The Ice Dragon King continued, "I'm not worried about the others. Gu Yuena has the responsibility and commitment of Dragon God, Bibi Dong went through life and death with you, Bo Saixi and Xiao Wu have also found their own answers. The moment I was resurrected by you, I already knew everything that had happened in the past."
"But Qian Renxue the only one," she changed the subject, "That girl is still very troublesome. Her obsession runs deeper than you imagine. It's not simple love; it's mixed with too much resentment, jealousy, and a need to prove herself. This kind of emotion is the hardest to resolve."
Xuan Ming sighed, "I don't know either."
He paused, gathered his thoughts, and slowly said, "I hope... she can let go of her obsession with me. Perhaps we can continue to get along like friends, or even like siblings. But because of Bibi Dong's existence, because her mother killed her father with her own hands... there's no way we can ever go down that path. It's an insurmountable chasm, and it's also a form of respect for her, for her mother, and for myself."
"But I also know that it's almost impossible. Given her personality, getting her to let go of her obsession is harder than killing her."
He tried the most drastic methods, the most hurtful words, and the cruelest means to sever this relationship.
The result was that she only sank deeper and deeper into the abyss of suffering.
"Yes, that's impossible." The Ice Dragon King nodded in agreement, then changed the subject, his tone becoming more relaxed, "However, if you need it, I can help you solve it."
"You?" Xuan Ming turned his head in surprise, looking at her. "How are you going to solve this?"
"A minor issue."
"..."
"What are you planning to do? You can't just beat her up, can you? She's a God King now, and... I don't want to hurt her anymore."
The Ice Dragon King lowered his head, looking at the man in his arms who had been relieved of all his burdens and had become somewhat like a boy next door. A sly yet gentle smile curved his lips.
Her fingers gently traced Xuan Ming's cheek, her voice carrying a hint of matter-of-factness.
"Just like the two of us, isn't that enough?"
Chapter 474 Living for Yourself
The outer perimeter of the God's Forbidden Land.
After Xuan Ming was forcibly taken away by the Ice Dragon King on a "vacation," the tense atmosphere suddenly turned into an eerie calm.
Gu Yuena looked at the group of newly promoted God King and First-Level God in front of her, whose auras were still not very stable, and felt overwhelmed.
But as the nominal "hostess" and the most powerful person present, she knew she had to step up and take charge.
"Alright, everyone, stop standing there." Gu Yuena's voice was clear and calm, carrying the unquestionable majesty of Dragon God. "I know everyone has a lot to say and a lot to settle. But standing here won't solve anything. Why don't we find a place to sit down and have a proper talk?"
With a wave of her hand, the immense Dragon God's Power instantly condensed into a magnificent nine-colored palace in the void.
Inside the palace, long tables and chairs were all provided, all made of the purest Divine Power.
The women exchanged glances, and ultimately silently entered the palace.
However, Qian Renxue stopped at the palace gate.
She glanced at the distinct groups of people inside the palace, a complex emotion flashing in her golden eyes.
In the end, without saying a word, she turned and transformed into a golden streak of light, flying off in another direction of the Divine Realm, her figure appearing somewhat lonely.
Gu Yuena watched her departing figure, her brows furrowing slightly, but she did not stop her.
She knew that what Qian Renxue needed now was not negotiation, but for her to figure things out on her own.
The Divine Realm, an ancient temple suspended above a sea of clouds.
This was once the Angel Temple. After the expansion of the Divine Realm, it was separated from the old divine domain and stands here quietly.
Qian Renxue slowly landed on the plaza in front of the temple. She could feel the pure and sacred aura of the Angel God lineage lingering there, which gave her a sense of comfort, but more than that, she felt a deep-seated confusion.
Did she win? She inherited the Godhood, even becoming the God King, standing at the pinnacle of countless beings.
Did she lose? She lost her father, her grandfather, everything she had fought for, and even... the person she wanted to hold onto most was drifting further and further away from her.
What should she do next? Compete with Bibi Dong for Xuan Ming? Question Xuan Ming about why he treated her this way?
Or will we remain as we are now, guarding this empty temple, spending eternal years in solitude?
Just as she was in a state of utter confusion, an icy blue figure quietly landed beside her.
"What are you thinking about all by yourself hiding here?" came the voice of the Ice Dragon King.
Qian Renxue turned her head and looked at the woman in front of her, who was also at the God King Realm, with a hint of wariness in her eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"I've come to see you." The Ice Dragon King walked to her side, standing shoulder to shoulder with her, gazing at the distant sea of clouds. "And, by the way, I'd like to have a chat with you."
"We have nothing to talk about." Qian Renxue's voice was cold.
"No, we have a lot to talk about." The Ice Dragon King shook his head. "For example, let's talk about that idiot Xuan Ming."
Upon hearing the mention of Xuan Ming, Qian Renxue's body stiffened slightly.
