Chapter 106: How Many Gods Died in the God Realm?

Seeing the two students under her charge taken away by the Enforcement Team, Shen Yi felt somewhat helpless.

She couldn't make a move right now; if she acted against the Enforcement Team, the nature of the matter would change completely.

She could only follow procedure to fish them out... but given the Spirit Pagoda's attitude toward enforcing Federal Law, they'd likely still be locked up for a while.

Thinking this, Shen Yi glanced at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na again.

Ten years old, two three-ring Soul Elders!

Their Inner Court had ten-year-old geniuses too, but they were merely Soul Elders right now; compared to these two, their cultivation progress was worlds apart. Not to mention Huo Yuhao's spiritual power had reached the Spirit Abyss Realm — powerful spiritual power requires sufficient physical quality to bear; his foundation must be incomparably solid, impossible to have been pumped up with elixirs.

Moreover, she'd overheard several people's conversation: Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na ranked eighth and thirteenth on the Young Genius Ranking respectively.

That ranking list was still quite authoritative; it could be called the reserve list for the Young Genius List — those who stayed on it had an extremely high probability of becoming powerful Battle Armor Masters in the future.

To enter the list at this time — their future was promising.

So these... were the Spirit Pagoda's geniuses?

Shen Yi pursed her lips, brows furrowing slightly.

……

Watching Xie Xie leave with his master, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na headed toward Snack Street together.

On the way, Huo Yuhao asked, "Has Shrek Academy's assessment always been like this?"

Gu Yue Na shook her head, "I'm not too clear on this..."

Halfway through, Gu Yue Na thought of something and said, "But it should have been many years; Teacher said she once exchanged pointers with Erqing Douluo over this matter."

Huo Yuhao's steps faltered; he didn't continue the previous topic, instead asking, "Does Feng Huang Douluo talk to you about Erqing Douluo often? She wouldn't still like Yun Ming, would she?"

Gu Yue Na nodded her chin, "Probably. Recently when she looks at you and me, she often wears a reminiscent expression — perhaps she's projecting Erqing Douluo and herself onto us."

"Erqing Douluo never married; although he clearly rejected Teacher, she still can't let go in her heart, right? It's just that she can distinguish public from private, so outsiders can't tell."

"I suddenly feel the Soul Beast Physical Therapy method is pretty good."

Huo Yuhao sighed, his tone wistful, "What do you think, Sister Na?"

Should I ask Xue Er to have Feng Huang Douluo calm down a bit...

Gu Yue Na nodded solemnly.

To prevent Teacher Leng from betraying the side due to emotion and ultimately meeting a bad end, she also felt the other party had best go accept some physical therapy.

Hmm... should I contact Di Tian?

While thinking, Gu Yue Na and Huo Yuhao stepped into Snack Street, and the former's eyes instantly lit up.

The sunset gilded Snack Street with a layer of golden light halo; the air was permeated with the interwoven aromas of various foods.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na walked side by side on the bustling street, surrounded by rising and falling vendor calls and diners' laughter.

Gu Yue Na stopped, her black eyes flashing with excited light, her small nose wings fluttering slightly, like a little animal discovering something novel.

Today she wore a pale purple long dress, black hair casually draped over her shoulders, glowing with soft luster in the sunlight, forming a wondrous harmony with the lively, worldly atmosphere around her.

Huo Yuhao looked at her like this and smiled faintly, "What do you want to try?"

Gu Yue Na withdrew her gaze at those words, blinked her black eyes, and suddenly asked, "Yuhao, what do you like? Where do you want to go?"

"Me?" Huo Yuhao blanked for a moment.

"Mhm."

Gu Yue Na nodded, stepped forward, eyes smiling, "You're always doing serious business; normally you never show your own preferences — I can't observe them. Right now only you know what I like, but I don't know what you like; that's unfair."

She lightly tugged Huo Yuhao's sleeve, "Since we came together, naturally both of us should be happy."

A light breeze brushed past, carrying Snack Street's unique worldly atmosphere; Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yue Na waiting for his answer, narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly, "Alright, I'll tell you everything."

He looked toward some shops in the distance, "I like..."

……

As the night wind grew cool, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na bid farewell in front of the Spirit Pagoda and turned toward their own home.

Suddenly, his shoulder sank, a wave of icy cool sensation transmitted over.

"Still this time, it's quiet."

Huo Yuhao turned his head, only to see a three-inch-tall snow-white figure sitting on his shoulder swinging her legs — a miniature Snow Empress wearing an exquisite ice-blue dress, silver-white long hair glimmering faintly in the moonlight, surveying the surroundings.

The Snow Empress's divine sense usually stayed in the Eye of Life cultivating during the day, just like I Lao ten thousand years ago; she normally wouldn't appear — only at night would she let her sufficiently cultivated divine sense power manifest — in miniature form.

She said this was to reduce divine sense power consumption, but Huo Yuhao felt there was more than just this one reason.

Huo Yuhao: "Xue Er, how's the situation on the Extreme North side?"

The Snow Empress gave him a helpless look, no longer correcting the address, and replied: "Fairly smooth. The Sea Princess faced me and ultimately submitted. Li Ya was taken by you; their Mermaid Clan's golden bloodline was already few — they didn't want to war with me."

Huo Yuhao nodded, "Then that's good."

"You actually needn't worry about my side." The Snow Empress said softly: "Besides the Ice God Pearl, there's another divine artifact in the Extreme North — Xiao Bai picked it up while I was in seclusion; I can use it. Plus with my current strength, she can't threaten me."

Huo Yuhao's expression turned strange for a moment.

Xiao Bai actually picked up a divine artifact too... just how many gods died in the God Realm?

The God Realm governs over a hundred planes; divine artifacts falling couldn't only fall this way — Douluo Continent has them, other planes certainly do too, maybe even some drifting in the universe's starry expanse. If nearly ten fell on Douluo Continent, reasonably inferred, the total number of dead gods isn't a small figure.

And by his memory, the Douluo God Realm had over ten thousand God Officials, over 1,800 Third-Class Gods, over 200 Second-Rank Gods; excluding the Rakshasa God and Angel God, there were 18 First-Rank Gods at the Main God level.

With so many gods, just how many did the Golden Dragon King kill?

Or rather, with only Tang San as a single God King, and that while heavily injured or propping up the God Realm... how many gods would need to step up to block the Golden Dragon King?

Given the Golden Dragon King's physical toughness, ordinary gods' attacks landing on it probably wouldn't even break its defense, right...

"Feels like I missed out on a lot." Huo Yuhao lamented: "The plan to build a grave mound for the Golden Dragon King needs to be put on the agenda."

Speaking of which, Lao Jin played so wildly this time — he should have died without regrets, right?

Rest in peace; I'll take good care of your sister Gu Yue Na... cough cough, that line feels off somehow.

To the side, the Snow Empress chuckled softly, sitting on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, and chatted idly with him, telling him various Spirit Pagoda secrets she knew, letting him understand the current situation better.

"Last time we spoke of the Light Dark Douluo matter; at that time the Spirit Pagoda's Internal had two Quasi-Gods, one Demigod, five Super Douluo, and she alone broke in……"
