...Sky-Screen Timeline...
Ye Qingxian and Ah Yin had both completed the Sea God's First Trial.
Ye Qingxian had also obtained a God-Given Soul Ring and absorbed it.
[Detected development target Ye Qingxian obtaining her fifth Soul Ring and breaking through to Soul King. Distributing rewards.] [Congratulations to the host on obtaining the following rewards: 1. The age of all Soul Rings and Soul Bones increases by 50,000 years. 2. Creation God affinity increases by 3%. 3. "Yin-Yang Life-Death Talisman"]
"Ooh? The Yin-Yang Life-Death Talisman? This thing's a bit of a chicken rib."
Qian Xunji raised an eyebrow and claimed the rewards, figuring it was better than nothing.
With this latest increase, Qian Xunji's affinity with the Creation God Position had reached 20%.
He was especially pleased as he felt the nearly earth-shaking changes within him.
When he had been raising Bibi Dong, his strength had increased and changed severalfold once his affinity reached ten percent.
Now that his affinity was at 20%, his strength had transformed once more.
With that, let alone a hundredth-level god-even if a deity truly descended to the lower realm, Qian Xunji should be able to take him on, so long as he wasn't a God King.
"Being too invincible is a kind of loneliness too."
Qian Xunji looked at the exceptionally excited Ye Qingxian, who had thrown herself into his arms. "What's the Second Trial?"
"Break through the ring blockade.
Without killing a single Sea Soul Beast or using any Soul Ring skills, break through the Ring Sea guarded by a hundred-thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Shark and reach the opposite shore."
"No Soul Ring skills?
That's simple enough.
How long is the time limit for this trial?"
"One year."
"All right. In a year, you and Ah Yin will both have given birth.
You can complete the Second Trial then.
There's no rush."
After Ah Yin became pregnant, Ye Qingxian had been especially hardworking and eager to improve.
Then, half a month ago, Ye Qingxian had discovered that she was pregnant too.
"I'll do as you say, Your Holiness."
Ye Qingxian was very obedient. She wrapped her arms around Qian Xunji's waist and nestled against him.
Since becoming pregnant, she had clearly grown even clingier.
But Qian Xunji didn't mind.
When he had first married Ye Qingxian, it had only been for the development system's task.
But as time passed, affection had naturally grown between them.
Besides, Ye Qingxian and Ah Yin were both so beautiful, gentle, and considerate.
The sun was just right, the sea breeze blew gently, and Qian Xunji's little life was exceptionally pleasant.
He kept the two beauties company and occasionally went to the Sea God Hall for friendly exchanges with the high priestess.
But only a few days later, a spacetime passage opened once again.
A woman clad in dark, deep-purple armor descended over Sea God Island.
"A god!"
Qian Xunji immediately determined her identity.
What was more, she had also come to this world through a spacetime passage.
That meant she was not a deity of this world.
"Bibi Dong?"
A bright light shone in Qian Xunji's golden eyes as he saw the figure's true appearance.
"This is... Sea God Island?"
Bibi Dong surveyed her surroundings, spreading her divine sense without restraint.
"Hahahahaha, hahahaha! I've traveled through spacetime too.
Qian Xunji, you didn't expect this, did you?
You urged your daughter to seize my position as Pope.
Yet now I've traveled through spacetime.
Are you ready to die??"
Bibi Dong's grating laughter echoed over Sea God Island.
She looked down from above, excited and unrestrained.
She was a god, so what if Qian Xunji was strong?
He was only a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo.
The difference of a single level was as vast as that between heaven and earth.
"Your Holiness!"
Ye Qingxian looked worried. She had recognized Bibi Dong too.
Then Bibi Dong must hate His Holiness terribly, right?
His Holiness had just called her a god. Didn't that mean...
His Holiness was no match for her?
"Who dares run wild on Sea God Island?"
Bo Saixi's majestic voice rang out. She drew upon the Sea God's Power, her majesty allowing no offense.
"Bo Saixi, as the high priestess of Sea God Island, you've actually been carrying on with Qian Xunji in secret.
Aren't you afraid the Sea God will hold you to account?"
Bibi Dong mocked her, not taking Bo Saixi seriously in the slightest.
Bo Saixi's gaze turned cold as she borrowed the power of the Sea God Trident. "This is Sea God Island, the land of the Sea God Inheritance.
You may not remain here without permission.
Leave at once."
Bo Saixi did not respond to Bibi Dong's mockery and verbal insults.
For now, she only wanted to use the Sea God's might to shout Bibi Dong into retreat.
But she was indulging in wishful thinking.
Bibi Dong was simply a madwoman. She actually swung the Rakshasa Scythe in her hand straight down at her.
"You're only a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo.
You're her woman, so if you die, she'll surely be heartbroken, won't she?
Even if she isn't, I'll make him watch everyone around him die!"
Bibi Dong had attacked so abruptly that even Bo Saixi hadn't expected it.
But with her cultivation as a Peerless Douluo, she still managed to use the Sea God Trident to block it at once.
Yet there was a difference between mortals and gods, a difference as vast as heaven and earth.
Clang!
The Sea God Trident flew straight out of her hand, while the Rakshasa Divine Power continued unabated, as though it would slice Bo Saixi in two.
Despairing, Bo Saixi looked toward the beach, but Qian Xunji was nowhere to be seen.
Did he run? That's fine too.
"Run, my ass!"
A warm, large hand suddenly appeared beneath her buttocks, supporting her, while the Rakshasa Divine Power, which had nearly been enough to destroy heaven and earth, was worn away by sacred radiance.
Her waist tightened slightly, and Bo Saixi's whole body pressed into Qian Xunji's embrace.
"Why didn't you run?"
Bo Saixi was puzzled. Then she frowned and said, "Go, quickly. I'll hold her off."
She tried to push Qian Xunji away and take the Sea God Trident in hand again.
"Your courage is commendable, High Priestess.
You'd even throw away your life for me?
Then why do you keep rejecting me?"
A mischievous smile curled Qian Xunji's lips. Every time he sought out Bo Saixi, he had to be a little forceful to get his way.
Bo Saixi blushed. "You still come even when I reject you?"
"The more you reject me, the more I like it."
Qian Xunji stepped in front of Bo Saixi.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Qian Xunji's expression was grave, as though he really were about to go to his death.
Sparkling tears spread through Bo Saixi's jewel-like eyes. "The more forceful you are, the more I like it."
Qian Xunji: "???!!!"
Well, well. He'd put on an act and actually coaxed the truth out of her.
So that's how you are, Bo Saixi. On the surface, you're all solemn, dignified, and composed, but you're actually a bottom.
"Are you done whispering sweet nothings?"
Bibi Dong's voice grew colder, her killing intent surging to the heavens.
"Don't worry. I'll let you die together like a pair of mandarin ducks."
Bibi Dong swung the Rakshasa Scythe again, but this time, her attack had barely left her hand before it was destroyed by holy light.
"How is that possible?"
Bibi Dong couldn't believe it. She launched attack after attack, but Qian Xunji dispelled them all with a wave of his hand.
"If you were truly the Rakshasa God, you might actually be a little troublesome.
But you've only just reached level one hundred and become a god, and you think you can run wild in front of me?
Bibi Dong, I don't care which future spacetime you came from.
Since you've appeared before me,
I'll treat you as a traitor all the same."
Qian Xunji's tone was indifferent as Angel Divine Light descended from the heavens. "Divine Sanction!!!"
