Chapter 425: Returning to the Country, Nan Tianchen's Title

In the Gu Lei Kingdom, Feihuang returned home.

But when he returned to the imperial palace and saw the person handling state affairs in the Imperial Study, it was not Xun Yu, whom he had entrusted with the task, but Nan Tianchen! Nan Feihuang said in surprise and joy, "Father, you have come out of seclusion!"

"Indeed, not long after you rushed to the Heaven Dou Empire, I came out of seclusion. Taking advantage of this time, I even went to the Sunset Forest with your mother," Nan Tianchen replied.

"Then you have already..." Feihuang looked at his father with anticipation.

Nan Tianchen smiled, flipped his right palm, and an ancient-looking Gu Lei Book was held in his palm. Around the book were nine spirit rings of the best configuration: two yellow, two purple, and five black.

"Congratulations to Father for successfully advancing to Title Douluo!" Nan Feihuang felt happy and proud for his father.

It was not in vain that he had brought him Immortal Herbs, soul bones, and Blood Beads; he had finally successfully broken through to Title Douluo.

"Hmm, this is all thanks to you, my son. By the way, of the four soul bones you brought back from Tang Hao, I only used three. You should decide who to give the remaining one to." Nan Tianchen handed the last remaining soul bone to Nan Feihuang.

Nan Feihuang took a look; it was actually that left leg bone. This was one of the two most precious of all the soul bones on Tang Hao's body.

Like the right arm bone, it was also a Haotian Sect Inherited Soul Bone, with an age of around eighty thousand years.

Feihuang had already given the right arm bone to Lingqi, and he had intended to give the left leg to his father, but he had not expected him not to use it.

Seeing what Feihuang was thinking, Nan Tianchen laughed, "I am already at this age. Being able to successfully break through to Title Douluo is enough to satisfy me. The best things should be left to you young people with boundless futures."

"By the way, there are also the five soul bones that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect compensated us with, plus the twenty-thousand-year Light Spirit Holy Beast Skull and the twenty-thousand-year Zhentian Roar Skull you brought back earlier that no one has used yet. That makes eight in total. Huang'er, I authorize you to use them all. From now on, your power within the country is equal to mine; any plans you have, you may act on them alone." Nan Tianchen issued an unexpected order.

From ancient times to the present, no emperor had ever dared to issue such an order.

It could be said that Nan Tianchen's trust in his son had reached its peak.

This was also a decision Nan Tianchen had made after careful consideration. Since coming out of seclusion, the news he heard most often was about his son.

The assassination by the Spirit Hall, and the six Title Douluo defeated by Feihuang.

Qian Renxue impersonating the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, intending to seize power; Nan Feihuang defeated Guangling Douluo, turned the tide, and successfully preserved the Heaven Dou Empire.

To reward him, Great Emperor Xue Ye even appointed him as the Regent of the Heaven Dou Empire, to assist Empress Xue Ke in managing the government.

Each of these pieces of intelligence that shocked the world let Nan Tianchen know that his son had grown up and become very outstanding.

Whether in strength or strategy, he was far above him.

If it weren't for the fact that Nan Feihuang didn't seem to have any intention of becoming emperor, he would have been ready to abdicate and let the worthy take over, and from then on, be a pair of immortal lovers with his wife Lan Xue; wouldn't that be wonderful?

Just like Long Gong and She Po; back then, one Spirit Douluo and one Spirit Saint could carve out the reputation of the Covering World Dragon Snake couple.

Now that the two of them were both Title Douluo, they would surely become a story passed down through the ages.

Nan Feihuang smiled teasingly, "Oh, so regarding the upcoming great war with the Spirit Hall, I can also decide that alone?"

"Uh, this... let us discuss it together as a family." Nan Tianchen paused upon hearing this. This was no joke; of course, it wasn't that he didn't trust his son, but such a heavy responsibility could not be borne by his son alone.

His father just wanted to retire, but he wasn't dead yet. "Someone, call my mother, Xun Yu, Dian Wei, and Lingqi here." Nan Feihuang stopped joking and turned to order the guards outside.

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." The guards received the order and immediately went down.

Before long, Lan Xue was seen bringing Dian Wei, Lingqi, and Xun Yu to the Imperial Study.

"Huang'er!" Seeing her son return, Lan Xue appeared very happy.

"Husband!" Lv Lingqi even pounced directly into Feihuang's arms.

"My Lord!" Dian Wei and Xun Yu knelt on one knee.

Feihuang nodded at his mother, then let go of his wife in his arms, looked at the two of them and said, "E Lai, Wenruo, rise. This time I really have something very important to tell you all."

"Mother, you all already know about my Divine Trial. Now, I have completed the first trial, and the content of the new second trial is..."

Feihuang recounted the content of his second trial. After hearing it, Nan Tianchen felt that his son's God Position was likely unprecedented.

First, recruit four companion divine beasts, then recruit four subordinates, each of whom could accompany him to become a god.

It truly was "when one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

Dian Wei stood in front of Nan Feihuang, "My Lord, this subordinate is willing to serve as your vanguard general."

"My Lord, the position of military advisor belongs to me." Xun Yu was also not to be outdone.

These two positions were destined to be theirs; no one could fight them for them.

Moreover, in their age group, there were too few who could meet Nan Feihuang's requirements; even now, Xun Yu was still a bit short.

However, Xun Yu was only eighteen years old now, and he was confident he could reach level seventy before the age of twenty.

"Very good. E Lai, open your soul and imprint your Soul Mark on the Dunjia Heavenly Book." Nan Feihuang took out the Dunjia Heavenly Book and turned to the page for subordinates and generals.

Currently, only Dian Wei was qualified to imprint it; Xun Yu would have to wait until he broke through.

Dian Wei did not hesitate at all and completely opened his Spirit Sea toward Nan Feihuang. The Dunjia Heavenly Book sensed his soul and immediately imprinted his Soul Mark.

Soon, a portrait of Dian Wei appeared on the upper half of the general's page. Thus, this second trial could be considered one-quarter complete.

"Husband, let me take the position of deputy vanguard." Lingqi said. She had also broken through to Spirit Saint, so there was no problem at all in serving as a deputy general; in fact, if it weren't for her lack of wisdom, her level would have been sufficient to qualify as a military advisor.

Nan Feihuang shook his head, "No. Even if a deputy general becomes a god by following me, their strength will be much weaker. Lingqi, I have long arranged a better and stronger path for you. Don't worry about me; I will definitely find other suitable deputy generals."

"Mm, I believe in my husband!" As someone who could make the Acacia Heartbroken Red bloom, Lv Lingqi naturally had unreserved trust in Nan Feihuang.

Feihuang smiled and nodded, closed the Dunjia Heavenly Book, and his expression became serious.

"Alright, the first matter is finished. Now for the second. This matter concerns the life and death of my Gu Lei Kingdom. I assume Father, Mother, and everyone else are already mentally prepared, right?"
