nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the youth before her who now carried a heavier burden, the carefree brows and eyes she so adored seemed weighed down by something invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Qian Renxue stepped forward—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And fiercely bit down on Li Zhexian's lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlet beads of blood welled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting Li Zhexian's astonished gaze, Qian Renxue's slender fingers clenched tightly inside her sleeve, knuckles turning white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think of it as me…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Collecting payment in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian frowned, unable to grasp her meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to question her further—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Qian Renxue spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want you to remember me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five years from now, Li Zhexian… I want to see you again, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step by step, Qian Renxue retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her golden eyes never left his figure, burning him into memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—her torn, bloodstained angel wings unfurled with a sudden snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body transformed into a streak of radiant light—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soaring into the distant sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her figure vanished into the pitch-black night, swallowed by the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyes that only ever softened before Li Zhexian turned once more as cold and abyssal as the Nine Hells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She flew straight toward the direction of Spirit Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To become a god…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must become a god…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never before—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Qian Renxue's yearning for divinity burned so fiercely,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All her stakes placed on this single throw of the dice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traveling non-stop, Li Zhexian and the others finally arrived at the Star Dou Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, whose aura grew even weaker, only relying on the rare herbs to hang onto a thread of breath, Li Zhexian plunged headfirst into the vast, dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two Titled Douluo guarding his sides—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They advanced like a spearpoint, cutting straight toward the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they passed through the middle section of the forest—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire forest suddenly fell into deathly silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the chirping of insects and calls of birds ceased entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the ground came faint, muffled tremors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifyingly savage aura spread soundlessly, chilling every heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Bo and Feng Bailong's expressions shifted, stepping protectively before Li Zhexian, as though facing their greatest foe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This pressure—absolutely not from a mere ten-thousand-year spirit beast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xiao Wu darted forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lovely face, which had lately carried fewer smiles—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now blossomed into radiant joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of meters tall, colossal trees were shoved aside like weeds by an overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Dugu Bo and Feng Bailong's astonished eyes—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two enormous eyes, round as full moons and glowing with an earthy-golden light, suddenly flared within the parted forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive hand, as if carved from living stone, reached forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That hand carefully lifted the cheering Xiao Wu—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And placed her gently upon a shoulder piled with muscles like mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura that swept over them was so primal, so savage, that Dugu Bo and Feng Bailong's hair and robes whipped wildly as though in a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stared at the colossal figure before them—its vast body covered in earthy-gold fur, etched with flowing, dark-golden runes of mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And their voices grew solemn:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The legendary King of the Forest… Titan Giant Ape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian turned sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His back became a shield, blocking the oppressive aura from Zhu Zhuqing's frail body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Xiao Wu…\" The Titan Giant Ape's voice rolled like thunder, shaking the forest, setting leaves trembling and branches quivering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are there humans following you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?! Are they perhaps threatening you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mountainous, crushing pressure descended, tangible and suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Bailong's Wind Sword left its sheath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its ringing cry split the forest, threads of azure wind converging from all directions, flooding into the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air reeked of imminent battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Er Ming! Stop it right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu stamped her foot upon the giant ape's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen to me first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overwhelming aura wavered—just slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu, from a height of a hundred meters, hurriedly explained everything to the Titan Giant Ape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian saw the Titan Giant Ape's massive head shaking violently, like a drum being struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! Impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Xiao Wu—the Lake of Life must never be tainted by humans!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you're driving me crazy!\" Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhuqing is my best sister!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not like we're draining the Lake of Life dry, only using its vitality to nourish her. Even that's not allowed?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine then! If you won't agree, so be it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This life of mine was saved by the human below! If you won't relent, I'll return to the human world and let Spirit Hall capture me instead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Titan Giant Ape immediately grew anxious, its voice raising a few pitches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! Sister Xiao Wu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me speak with Da Ming first! But hear me—those three humans must not approach the Lake of Life! That's my final bottom line!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu glanced at Li Zhexian, troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Zhexian…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian swept his gaze over the colossal beast radiating suffocating pressure, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's how it must be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Wu—I entrust Zhuqing to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I've gathered what's needed, I'll return for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu tapped her toes lightly on the giant ape's shoulder and leapt gracefully to the ground. Carefully, she received Zhu Zhuqing from Li Zhexian's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as I'm here, Zhuqing will come to no harm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched as that mountain-sized figure slowly vanished into the depths of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian let out a long breath, some of the weight in his chest easing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And solemnly cupped his fists toward Dugu Bo and Feng Bailong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This journey would've been impossible without your protection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I return after completing my task, I'll pay a proper visit to express my gratitude.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the forest's edge they parted ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Titled Douluo watched the youth, clad in tattered, blood-stained robes, vanish along the winding mountain path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five years…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows how much he'll grow when we meet again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yuanzhen escorted the seven members of the Emperor Team safely back to Heaven Dou City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyah—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyah—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mounted Spirit Master tore through the streets atop his galloping steed, clutching a sealed scroll high overhead, shouting hoarsely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Latest report of Lord Sword Wine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Latest report of Lord Sword Wine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city guards were ready to rebuke the reckless rider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the words froze them, sending a shiver through every spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once they barked orders, clearing the streets, driving the crowd aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news spread like sparks on oil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, the entire city of Heaven Dou was ablaze with uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd surged like a tide toward the temporary high platform set up in front of the Fragrant Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storyteller excitedly took the sealed scroll handed over by the messenger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be—Lord Sword Wine has led the Emperor Team to seize the championship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heaven Dou Spirit Master's expression was deeply conflicted.
