Revelation

"Is the teacher going to take on another female disciple?"

Gu Yue spoke softly.

"She's my goddaughter, not my apprentice," Lu Cheng said.

"It's all the same..." Gu Yue looked at Lu Cheng with her pale silver eyes and said quite seriously, "We're going to have another junior sister."

Lu Cheng remained silent, glancing at the graceful young woman beside him. Compared to the twelve-year-old toddler she once was, she had grown into a young woman, exuding youthful charm. Her stunningly beautiful face and tall, slender figure always attracted the attention of many students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but all of them were defeated by her formidable strength.

The power of elements is virtually unsolvable.

In previous years' competitions, she led the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to victory, leaving the major elemental academies questioning their existence. She used fire against grass, grass against water, and earth against...

She managed to turn it into an attribute-counterplay situation.

There's no need for fire immunity or anything; they can just sweep through everything in their path.

"Teacher, please have some tea."

Beside him, a woman who looked remarkably like Gu Yue, dressed in an elegant white dress, resembling a twin sister, smiled and poured tea for Lu Cheng, her beautiful eyes sparkling, making her quite adorable and charming.

"Not bad, it has to be Na'er..." Lu Cheng smiled with satisfaction.

Gu Yue frowned slightly and glared at Na'er with her beautiful eyes.

Na'er didn't give an inch, letting out a soft hum as she stood obediently beside Lu Cheng, like a little maid.

Gu Yue was somewhat speechless. This guy was quite familiar with the ways of the human world, and he had a good grasp of how to treat his teacher, earning the teacher's favor. He didn't even put her, his Grandmaster, in his eyes.

"Let's go... to visit his grave."

Lu Cheng sighed softly.

The Spirit Hall City, a secluded place.

The tombstone is decorated with the eight characters "Qian Xunji, the Hall Master of the Spirit Hall," and below it lies Qian Xunji's remains.

Lu Cheng sat cross-legged to one side, took the wine glass handed to him by Na'er, and gently poured it on the ground, his expression complicated.

"I will take good care of your wife and daughters..."

Although his words were somewhat ambiguous, he believed that Qian Xunji would understand. Of course, it was somewhat sad that if he were still alive, he would probably jump out of his coffin and punch himself in the chest a couple of times.

But now... the cemetery is eerily quiet.

Only a cool breeze rustled through Gu Yue and Na'er's hair, causing it to sway slightly. Gu Yue crossed her arms and calmly looked at the tombstone. She didn't have a good impression of Qian Xunji. After all, he had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Ah Yin. As the master of Soul Beast, she naturally disliked him.

Na'er's eyes were filled with Lu Cheng, her beautiful eyes filled with tender infatuation.

"Never mind, I'm leaving..."

Lu Cheng sighed and turned to leave.

[You are saddened by the passing of your close friend and have become increasingly attentive to Qian Renxue. However, Bibi Dong seems to disapprove of your close relationship with Qian Renxue, but she doesn't dare to provoke you. Instead, she frequently takes Qian Renxue to places outside the Spirit Hall for "travel and relaxation."]

[You didn't seem to care, after all, that little girl still liked you a lot. Ever since she was two, she'd often pestered you to play house together. Anyway, you were bored, so you taught your two apprentices and played with Qian Renxue a bit. Besides, the beast tides in the Star Dou Great Forest were becoming more and more stable, as if the bloodshed of the previous few years had been just a dream.]

[You often subtly inquired of Gu Yue why the Soul Beast harbored such hostility towards the human world, but she knew nothing. The only useful information you gleaned was that the Beast God "might" be hostile towards humans.]

[You are deeply puzzled by the word "maybe." Gu Yue is right in front of you, but clearly, even she herself cannot explain why she harbors hostility towards humans, or even why she so readily threatens to Destruction them. Fortunately, however, under your guidance over the years, she has become much more rational, and her hostility towards humans seems to have lessened.]

[Once, you overheard Gu Yue and Di Tian's conversation while leaning against a wall. "My lord, let's act quickly!" "Wait a little longer!" "The Soul Beast Clan's ten-thousand-year plan, if delayed any longer, may all be in vain!" "Don't panic, I have my own rhythm. Humans will be trapped sooner or later."]

[You smiled, because this was so similar to the situation twenty thousand years later; while feeling sympathy for Di Tian, you also breathed a sigh of relief.]

[After this, you went to the Far North again. Perhaps because Gu Yue's hostility towards you had greatly decreased, the relationship between the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, who had previously been hostile towards you, had also eased. You tried to ask them why they had targeted you back then, and after hesitating for a long time, they said it seemed to be an instinctive intuition that you were an enemy.]

[You finally sensed something was amiss. These instincts were affecting the vast majority of Soul Beast on this planet. You noticed their attitude towards humans was much more aggressive than you remembered. In your memories, Soul Beast would only cower in the Star Dou Great Forest, only attacking when humans invaded their homes. But in this world, it was common for groups of Soul Beast to raid human cities, leaving scenes of corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood.]

[This "intuition" and instinct is quite intriguing. You feel someone is plotting something behind the scenes, perhaps because your presence has quieted "It" down a bit. The God of War? The Beast God? You've thought about many things, but you still feel far from the correct answer.]

[Three more years have passed in the blink of an eye. Qian Renxue has turned six. The Spirit Hall held a banquet for her, inviting all the powerful figures of the Spirit Hall and many celebrities from the Heaven Dou Empire. And you were among them.]

Spirit City.

Spirit Hall, traffic was heavy.

Countless celebrities and dignitaries gathered here; to some extent, being able to step into this place and receive an invitation was itself a symbol of status.

However, a middle-aged man dressed in white robes, with a calm and indifferent face, around thirty years old, with bright eyes and a dashing air, stood out from the crowd.

But no one dared to underestimate them in the slightest.

Dragon Emperor, Lu Cheng.

One of the strongest beings on the continent today, the Martial Soul Golden Dragon King, has repelled countless beast tides and enjoys extremely high prestige.

"Godfather!"

Just as Lu Cheng stepped into the banquet with a calm expression, a cheerful female voice rang out, and then a girl in a snow-white princess dress with a lovely and charming face ran over and rushed straight into Lu Cheng's arms.

"It's Xiao Xue..." Lu Cheng's lips curled into a smile.

He picked up the girl and spun her around.

Many people around who witnessed this scene all showed expressions of emotion. Everyone knew that Lu Cheng had a good relationship with the previous Spirit Hall Master, and that this man had become Limit Douluo more than ten years ago, standing at the pinnacle of the continent. Now he was probably even more powerful, and even that old monster of the Spirit Hall was probably no match for him.

He also looked at Qian Renxue with envy. At such a young age, her mother was the widow of the previous Spirit Hall Master, and her godfather and grandfather were both dual-limit powerhouses. She was truly showered with love and affection.

Only Qian Renxue blinked her big eyes, her joy barely concealed, and pinched Lu Cheng's cheek.
