Looking at the room full of goddesses arguing heatedly over "sleeping with him," he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
What... what kind of situation is this?!
Xuan Ming took a deep breath, "You guys... stop messing around."
"Nonsense?"
Ice Empress tilted her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression. "Otherwise? Do you want us to fight? Whoever wins will drag you away?"
"And..."
Ice Empress stood on tiptoe, patted Xuan Ming on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "You'd better cooperate obediently and serve him in bed a round. Otherwise... everyone will definitely start fighting."
"Look at Zi JI over there. She almost lost everything several times just now, but the Ice Dragon King secretly cheated to save her!"
At this point, Ice Empress became even more furious, pointing at the still expressionless Ice Dragon King and accusing him, "Fairness! So unfair! We're both Soul Beast, so why does Zi JI get a cheat code? When I was the first to be eliminated, the Ice Dragon King didn't even glance at me! Let alone cheat on me!"
"This is unfair! I protest! I demand a rematch!"
Ice Empress's cries echoed in the main hall, but they did not elicit much sympathy; instead, they drew a few gloating laughs.
Xuan Ming stood there, feeling a buzzing in his head.
He turned his head and looked at Qian Renxue beside him, trying to find a glimmer of support.
However, Qian Renxue was looking at the card table with great interest, even rubbing her hands together and asking, "Um... since I'm here, shouldn't I be given a deck of cards? I want to join in!"
Xuan Ming: "..."
Chapter 493 The Continuation of the Dragon Clan
A gentle sea breeze, carrying the pure spiritual energy unique to the Divine Realm, caresses the shimmering surface of the sea.
Xuan Ming practically fled the Sea God's Palace, which had been turned into a "casino."
Only when he stood on the spacious white jade terrace outside the palace, looking at the vast and boundless azure divine sea before him, did he finally exhale a long breath.
Light footsteps sounded behind me, accompanied by bursts of suppressed, clear laughter.
Why are you running so fast?
Qian Renxue followed, and seeing Xuan Ming's still-frightened appearance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Her beautiful golden eyes were full of mockery, "A Supreme God King, actually scared like this by a group of women and a deck of cards?"
Xuan Ming turned around and glared at her, annoyed. "You're still laughing? Who said they were going to deal a deck of cards to join them?"
In that situation, if he didn't run away, they would really put him on a table and auction him off by weight.
"Tch, I was just kidding."
Qian Renxue snorted lightly, raising her chin arrogantly. "Who do you think I am? How could I possibly act like a vulgar shrew and compete with them for a man at the card table? I would never do something so degrading."
She paused here, a complex look flashing in her eyes, but quickly regained the haughtiness unique to Angel God.
"Besides... even if I did win and got you, would you agree? It would be really awkward with everyone watching."
Xuan Ming was slightly taken aback, then shook his head helplessly.
Just then, the doors of the hall were pushed open again, and Bo Saixi, dressed in a sea-blue gown and holding the Sea God Scepter, slowly walked out.
Despite the noise inside the hall, she maintained the dignity and composure characteristic of a high priest.
"Did I scare you?" Bo Saixi chuckled.
Xuan Ming sighed helplessly, "Who came up with this terrible idea?"
"It was the Ice Dragon King who suggested it," Bo Saixi told the truth without hiding anything. "Actually, everyone can see that although you've returned, you're always carrying an invisible pressure. Especially when you're facing everyone, you always have a kind of... well, a sense of guilt, like atonement."
That cautiousness actually made everyone feel a bit distant.
Bo Saixi looked at Xuan Ming, her tone softening slightly, "So, the Ice Dragon King came up with this plan. On the surface, it's about vying for your allocation rights, but actually... it's just to play a joke on you, lighten the mood, and distract you."
Everyone knows that Xuan Ming would never truly let them manipulate him.
But if Xuan Ming is truly intimidated, everyone will naturally take the opportunity to back down and go with the flow.
If Xuan Ming runs away like this, it will break down that barrier and let everyone know that Xuan Ming is still the shy and runaway Xuan Ming, not the aloof god.
Xuan Ming remained silent for a long time after listening.
"Okay, I understand."
Xuan Ming sighed, "Since they want to play, let them play. Anyway, life in the Divine Realm is long, and finding some fun isn't easy."
After speaking, he composed himself, looked at Bo Saixi, and his expression became serious.
" Bo Saixi, I have something important to discuss with you today."
Upon seeing this, Bo Saixi also stopped smiling.
Xuan Ming didn't waste any words and directly told Bo Saixi the whole story he had discussed with Qian Renxue about the reform of the " Douluo Federation " and the establishment of the "Heaven" faith.
"... That's about it."
Xuan Ming looked at Bo Saixi, "In the future, Douluo Star will no longer have two great empires, nor will there be a simple distinction between Angel and Sea God. All faiths will return to Heaven. And you and Qian Renxue will serve as Heaven's right and left hands, respectively governing the order of the ocean and the land."
"I know this may be a huge shock to the traditions of Sea God Island. But I hope you understand that this is for the sake of lasting peace and unity."
Qian Renxue stood to the side, not saying a word, but her gaze was fixed on Bo Saixi. She knew very well how deeply rooted the Sea God lineage was in the hearts of ocean Soul Master, and if Bo Saixi disagreed, this matter would really be a bit troublesome.
However, to her surprise, Bo Saixi did not show any resistance.
She listened quietly, then nodded gently.
"I understand, I will cooperate."
After finishing their business, Xuan Ming looked around and suddenly asked with some confusion, "By the way, where's Gu Yuena?"
I heard from Bibi Dong that everyone has been having a meeting at the Sea God's place these past few days. Logically, Gu Yuena, as the "big sister" among the women, should also be there.
But he didn't see that silver figure in the chaotic casino inside the hall.
" Gu Yuena went to the Dragon Tomb." Bo Saixi pointed in a certain direction deep within the Divine Realm. "Although the Soul Beast Clan is no longer suppressed by the certain death of the Heavenly Tribulation and can cultivate to become gods normally, after the Dragon God War, the powerful pure-blooded Dragon Clan were almost wiped out, and their bloodline was severely depleted."
" Gu Yuena has always been troubled by this. Now that the Divine Realm has expanded and its laws have stabilized, she is considering using her Dragon God's Power, along with the dragon bones and souls left behind by her ancestors in the Dragon Tomb, to try and create a new generation of the Dragon Clan."
"As the main pillars of the Dragon Clan, Di Tian and the Fire Dragon King naturally went to help protect the Dharma."
"So they went to build dragons..."
Xuan Ming suddenly realized.
This is indeed a top priority for Gu Yuena. To revive the Dragon Clan, she alone is not enough. If she can use the resources of the Dragon Tomb to mass-produce pure-blooded Dragon Clan, they will be a force to be reckoned with in the future of the Divine Realm.
"What about the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and the Demon Empress?" Xuan Ming asked.
Bo Saixi smiled. "After consolidating their Godhood and cultivation, they couldn't wait to ask Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena for permission to return to Douluo Star."
"Back to Douluo Star?"
"Yes." Bo Saixi nodded. "They said they were going to find the child. The child that Di Tian put in the Lake of Life to raise. Now that they've become gods, they naturally can't let go of that child and want to bring her up here so the family can be reunited."
Xuan Ming nodded, indicating his understanding.
"Since we've mentioned Douluo Star..."
Bo Saixi seemed to remember something and hesitated before speaking, "Actually, there's something else I'd like to ask of you."
"What is it? Just say it."
"It's about Xiao Bai," Bo Saixi said. "That child... the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, has been diligently protecting Sea God Island all these years. Now that Sea God Island is to be incorporated into the Federation, and I have become God King, I don't want her to remain just an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"I want to... elevate her to the level of Divine Beast."
At this point, Bo Saixi's expression turned somewhat helpless. "Normally, I could have decided this myself. But... Gu Yuena went into seclusion to create dragons, and Bibi Dong is busy dealing with the mess left by the God Realm Committee. And the current situation on Douluo Star..."
Bo Saixi sighed, "Although Douluo Star received a dimensional upgrade and a surge in spiritual energy concentration thanks to your blessing, its foundation is still weak. According to the Goddess of Life's calculations, it will need at least a thousand years of evolution and sedimentation before it can truly reach the level of God Star, enough to support the natural birth of native God Level units."
"The current environment is still unstable, and the laws are still being reconstructed. Without the special permission of the Divine Realm Core, forcibly upgrading God Level units in the lower realm could easily trigger a backlash from the laws of the plane, and might even lead to the collapse of local rules."
"So I had no choice but to come to you for this permission."
Chapter 494 Douluo Federation
Xuan Ming raised an eyebrow after hearing this, "Couldn't you just let me know if you did something like this?"
"And those seven Sacred Pillar Guardian under your command, you can also promote them all at the same time, distribute the Sea God's Power to them, and let them serve as the Sea God's Divine Officer, so that they can guard Sea God Island and manage the affairs of Douluo Star for you in the future."
"Anyway, God Level powerhouses will soon be no longer a rarity on Douluo Star in the future."
Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi's expression turned somewhat strange. "Is this really appropriate?"
"Although Douluo Star is nominally a subordinate plane of the Divine Realm, the Divine Realm's control over it is not yet stable enough."
"Our mission this time is not only to forcibly integrate the faiths, but also to change the political landscape. If we rashly promote so many God Level powerhouses at this critical juncture... what if they develop disloyalties, or are used by those with ulterior motives to rebel and create unrest down below?"
"After all, the destructive power of God Level is immense. To mortals today, even a single Divine Officer going mad would be enough to Destruction half a continent."
Power, once unchecked, breeds ambition.
Although the Seven Sacred Pillars and Xiao Bai are very loyal, who can predict the future? Moreover, if this door is opened, will anyone be able to become a god? Wouldn't that throw the mortal world into chaos?
Xuan Ming listened to Bo Saixi's analysis and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned around and looked at Bo Saixi, a hint of doubt flashing in his deep eyes.
"Turmoil?"
"You mean... they'll rebel?"
"Rebel with whom? With me?"
Bo Saixi was stunned.
Looking at the man in front of her, who was smiling but exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, she suddenly realized how foolish her question had been.
yes.
rebel?
Who dares to stand before this man? Who can?
Xuan Ming's Godhead is " Negation and Reconstruction," a supreme power that transcends all rules.
He not only possesses the destructive power to destroy the God King, but also the creative authority of the Creation God.
Let alone a few newly promoted Divine Officer, even in the current Divine Realm, apart from a very few God King, Xuan Ming could destroy all the other gods, even the entire Divine Realm combined, with his own power!
Light and shadow shift, space overlaps.
When Xuan Ming, along with Qian Renxue and Bo Saixi, set foot on the land of Douluo Star again, it was no longer the same as it had been the day before.
One day in the Divine Realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal realm.
For Xuan Ming, it was nothing more than a rest in a gentle embrace and a farce in a casino. But for the billions of living beings on the Douluo Continent, it was a year of earth-shattering upheaval and breathtaking events.
Spirit City should now be called the "Federal Core Capital".
Ning Fengzhi, along with a group of high-ranking officials, was already respectfully waiting in the square in front of the newly built Federation Parliament building.
When the three figures, representing the highest, the light, and the ocean respectively, descended from the sky, the tension that had been building up in everyone's hearts for a year finally reached its limit.
"Welcome, Your Majesty! Welcome, Angel God! Welcome, Sea God!"
The thunderous roar of kneeling worship echoed through the sky, filled not only with awe but also with a profound sense of relief at surviving a catastrophe.
This year has been incredibly tough.
Since Xuan Ming issued a divine decree a year ago, demanding that the Spirit Hall Empire reform itself and unite with the Sun Moon Empire across the ocean to establish the Douluo Federation, the whole world has been like being pushed forward madly by an invisible hand.
As the executor appointed by Xuan Ming, Ning Fengzhi demonstrated the shrewdness and tact of the former sect master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, as well as the absolute power of Divine Officer.
He contacted the Sun Moon Empire immediately.
Originally, the merger of two continents would inevitably be accompanied by lengthy negotiations, tug-of-war over interests, and even localized wars.
However, after the message "This is a divine decree from the Xuan Ming Underworld" was conveyed, the royal family and high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire held an emergency meeting overnight.
The meeting had only one objective: how to kneel down in the fastest and most graceful way to satisfy Death God.
