Chapter 267: Unexpected Awakening, Three of the Five Divine Envoys Waver

After Dugu Yan successfully forced the toxins into her Spirit Ring, she felt that the heavy stone pressing on her heart—or rather, the one pressing on the Jade Phosphorus Serpent martial soul family—had finally fallen.

At this moment, Dugu Yan felt more relaxed than ever before.

Her grandfather was fine, and his martial soul was still mutating.

She had become a god, and everything else was going very smoothly.

The problem with the Jade Phosphorus Serpent martial soul had also been solved.

Walking to the window, the moon tonight was exceptionally round and bright.

Starlight sprinkled onto the branches of the old tree, and the night breeze caressed with a hint of faint fragrance.

At this moment, Dugu Yan's heart was incomparably tranquil.

A faint trace of aura, like a stone falling into a lake, began to ripple outward with Dugu Yan as the center.

Her suppressed cultivation base revealed itself unconsciously, her martial soul followed and emerged, and at this time, her Spirit Rings also appeared one after another, unwilling to be left out.

Dugu Yan was immersed in this state; perhaps it was for an instant, perhaps it was for a long time.

If someone were beside her now, they would discover that although she was clearly right in front of them, they would feel as if she did not exist at all.

Dugu Yan was currently in a state of Heaven and Man as One, perfectly merging with the surrounding environment, which was why she gave people the illusion that she did not exist.

Awakening, Dugu Yan was currently experiencing an Awakening.

Time passed, regardless of day or night.

The moon quietly retreated, and the Sun slowly rose.

The morning sunlight shone through the window, illuminating the entire room and also sprinkling onto Dugu Yan's face.

The Sun rose higher and higher, and the sunlight became warmer.

Feeling the warmth of the sunlight, Dugu Yan also woke up from her Awakening and slowly opened her eyes.

She had stood for an entire night without realizing it, but it did not make Dugu Yan feel tired; on the contrary, she felt full of energy.

Dugu Yan stretched her limbs and felt refreshed and very comfortable all over.

What happened to me?

I actually stood for an entire night.

But why, after standing for an entire night, did I not feel a trace of discomfort, but instead felt comfortable all over?

She felt her own state.

Although she had not tested it yet, she felt that her strength had improved a lot, and her thinking was much clearer.

Her Spirit Power Control was even smoother, and even many small problems from her previous Cultivation had disappeared.

She took out her Mobile Phone, tapped on her personal profile, and waited for ten seconds; the new detection data appeared.

Among them, her Spirit Power had reached 9,600 points, which surprised Dugu Yan a little.

Previously, her Spirit Power was only over 6,000, and even with the Cultivation of the "Jerry Meditation Method," it improved very slowly.

What exactly happened last night?

She stood for a whole night without knowing it, and then her strength improved tremendously in every aspect.

She couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.

Afterwards, Dugu Yan became happy; no matter what, an increase in strength was a good thing.

Dugu Yan even hoped that such good things would happen more often in the future.

If Jerry knew her thoughts, he would definitely say loudly: Keep dreaming!

She had originally planned to continue forcing the toxins from her soul bone into her Spirit Ring, but since she stood for a whole night and her strength improved in every aspect, it was not a waste of time.

Looking at the current time, it was almost time to go to work.

Being in a good mood, Dugu Yan's state was clearly different that day, and her colleagues also clearly felt that Dugu Yan was like a different person today.

Although she was still quiet and spoke little, her previous cold and aloof image had disappeared without a trace.

On the surface, she was still that same Dugu Yan, but she just made people feel different.

Today, she gave people a very comfortable feeling, like a spring breeze.

After work, Dugu Yan once again quietly snuck into her grandfather's room and told him that she had finally found a solution to the backlash of toxicity for Poison Attribute Spirit Masters, and told her grandfather that she had tested it herself and succeeded.

This method would not only not lower one's strength, but would instead slowly increase it.

Dugu Bo burst into tears on the spot, his emotions out of control; if they were not in the Spirit Hall Transformation Field, he probably would have gone out and shouted a few times.

It was just that he could not try it himself now; Dugu Bo still wanted to see what his martial soul would mutate into, and if he unlocked the Soul Guidance Shackle now, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

The problem with the martial soul was solved, and Dugu Bo wept bitterly for a long time; the family had never been able to grow strong because of the tragedy caused by the Jade Phosphorus Serpent martial soul, which was why they were always a single line of descent.

He dared not easily have many offspring; if the martial soul problem was not solved, the more they had, the more would die, and there would be more heartbreaking things.

Now that he had obtained the solution, Dugu Bo had already started to imagine how to strengthen the family in the future.

He should still be able to, go out and marry ten or eight, and then he looked at his granddaughter again.

Sigh, at this moment he suddenly felt that his granddaughter becoming a god was not a good thing; after becoming a god, the level of life changed, making it even harder to breed offspring.

Originally, the higher the strength, the harder it was to reproduce; after becoming a god, it was even harder.

It seemed that the future of the family still needed to be completed by himself.

Dugu Bo told his granddaughter about his plan, and Dugu Yan grinned, unable to bear interrupting her grandfather, so she found an excuse and left.

If she stayed any longer, she really didn't know what her grandfather might say; she was also glad that she had become a god, otherwise he would have started forcing her to marry.

Returning to her residence, Dugu Yan began to transfer the soul bone toxins and suddenly discovered that a lot of the toxins in the soul bone had been transferred; could this also be something that happened last night?

Hahahaha, good luck has truly arrived, and it cannot be stopped.

During this period of time, living and working in Wuhun City felt very wonderful.

Previously, Dugu Yan had hatred for Wuhun City because of her grandfather.

Now she had found her grandfather, her grandfather had no problems at all, and because of the Soul Guidance Shackle, her grandfather had not suffered from Spirit Power backlash for so many years.

Although Grandfather had said that he suffered a bit when he was first captured, compared to the situation afterward, it was absolutely nothing.

Even Grandfather has let go of his hatred for the Spirit Hall, so what hatred could I possibly have left?

To avenge Yu Tianheng?

Although there is no evidence regarding the affairs of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, everyone suspects it was done by the Spirit Hall.

Later, I also saw clearly whether Yu Tianheng truly liked me.

After Grandfather was captured, Yu Tianheng intentionally distanced himself from me, which also allowed Dugu Yan to see Yu Tianheng's true colors clearly.

What Yu Tianheng valued was always Dugu Yan's background; when that background became a thing of the past, Yu Tianheng immediately began to distance himself.

I once liked Yu Tianheng, but Yu Tianheng did not truly like me; as for avenging him, let's just forget it.

Dugu Yan feels that her current life is very good; Grandfather has been found, the martial soul problem has been solved, her superior cares for her, and her colleagues are also very good to her.

After Grandfather's martial soul mutates, buying a Small Courtyard in Wuhun City—isn't this the life I wanted from the very beginning?

I suddenly remembered that this time, the Five Great Envoys entered Wuhun City with a mission: to learn the advanced knowledge of the Spirit Hall and then overthrow the Spirit Hall.

This is also the infiltration plan formulated by Tang San; it can be said that this plan is very perfect, and now many believers have infiltrated the Spirit Hall, and even Tang San himself has run to the Spirit Hall Academy.

Everything is the same as planned before, and it is proceeding smoothly.

But have Tang San and the others ever thought about what happens after overthrowing the Spirit Hall?

Can the continent still be as peaceful as it is now, and can Wuhun City still be as prosperous as it is now?

Without the Spirit Hall, will the Two Great Empires still live in peace?

Without the Spirit Hall, can the common people still live and work in peace?

After letting go of hatred, Dugu Yan sees things even more clearly.

Previously, being caught in the middle, my eyes were blinded because of hatred.

Many things were considered from the opposite side of the Spirit Hall, feeling that everything the Spirit Hall did had an ulterior motive and that none of it was good.

I had never gone to the grassroots level of Wuhun City to take a look, so I did not understand the living conditions of the common people.

But now, looking back, the Spirit Hall is truly and genuinely leading the entire continent to become better.

In every trade and industry, whether for Spirit Masters or ordinary people, and between the Empires.

Every aspect is developing in a good direction; if one were to say the Spirit Hall has a motive, that motive is probably to lead the entire continent to become better together.

As for whether the Spirit Hall has any other motives, as far as it looks now, it really does not.

Dugu Yan has also studied the regulations of the Spirit Hall; they are very comprehensive, and they treat everyone equally without discrimination.

Although there are no nobles in Wuhun City, there are many great families; as for the people of these great families, as long as they violate the regulations of the Spirit Hall, they are never spared.

Therefore, people from great families are actually more afraid of the regulations than ordinary people.

Under the constraints of the regulations, Wuhun City has almost achieved equality for all.

Here, there is no discrimination, no oppression, and all the common people live and work in peace.

Although there are still some petty thieves, by comparison, Wuhun City is already very good.

Moreover, the regulations of Wuhun City are now slowly beginning to be implemented in the Two Great Empires; the major cities have already perfected various law enforcement departments and have begun to earnestly implement the Spirit Hall's regulations, and even some remote places are slowly changing.

So, is the Spirit Hall wrong?

Even if it is, compared to making the entire continent better, it has already done very well.

If any other force were to do it, they could not achieve what the Spirit Hall has now.

After overthrowing the Spirit Hall, who will take over?

Tang San—based on Dugu Yan's understanding of him over these past few years, Tang San is a person who seeks revenge for the slightest grievance, lacks tolerance, is self-centered, and is arrogant; he simply does not have the bearing of a ruler.

Yu Xiaogang—this person goes without saying; his vanity is very strong, and although he has become a god, he cannot change the inferiority in his heart, and he is indecisive and timid in his actions.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar go without saying; rulers and them are completely unrelated.

The two's ideal is to eat, drink, and play around; although they have achieved something now, their actual purpose is for their own eating, drinking, and playing.

As for Dugu Yan herself, that goes without saying; she has no intention of being a ruler at all.

At this moment, Dugu Yan developed a wavering heart regarding the plan to overthrow the Spirit Hall.

In fact, it is not just Dugu Yan; Oscar and Ma Hongjun had long since wavered.

The current life is too comfortable for the two of them; it is the life they envisioned.

Both of them were poor children when they were young, and they cherish their hard-won life now; overthrowing Wuhun City is equivalent to breaking their current happy life.

Moreover, the two have no hatred for the Spirit Hall; when they were in school, they basically relied on Spirit Master subsidies to get by, and the Spirit Hall never withheld their Spirit Master subsidies; not to mention being grateful to the Spirit Hall, they have no resentment toward the Spirit Hall either.

Although the two's social status is not considered high now, they lead a group of people, and every day there are many people chasing after them, which makes them feel very fulfilled, and their daily work is also what they like.

When they were God Envoys, although there were many believers, those people were all aiming for the God Trial and had a very strong sense of purpose; compared to the Gourmet Appreciation Association that the two of them developed themselves now, the sense of achievement brought by the two is completely incomparable.

The two of them had long since wavered in their intention to overthrow the Spirit Hall, and now they are wholeheartedly focused on the Gourmet Appreciation Association.

The two have even decided that if Tang San and the Spirit Hall have a battle in the future, they will look at the situation before deciding whether to help Tang San.

It can be said that Oscar and Ma Hongjun are now two "old sixes" (sneaky/unreliable people).

Except for Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, among the other three of the Five Great Envoys, two are wavering "old sixes," and one has already given up.

If Tang San knew it was like this now, he would no longer be smug about his infiltration plan.

Unknowingly, they were assimilated, and the infiltration turned into counter-infiltration.

This is actually the charm of the Spirit Hall.

Outside, it emphasizes that the strong are respected, but in Wuhun City, it emphasizes equality for all.

The regulations of Wuhun City are numerous, and for every trade and industry, they are very detailed.

People who have never been to Wuhun City might feel that the Spirit Hall's regulations are too harsh when they see so many of them.

But after living in Wuhun City for a period of time, one will realize the benefits of the regulations and then slowly fall in love with this city under these regulations.

After adapting to the regulations of Wuhun City, one will no longer feel that these regulations are harsh.

Furthermore, once one has adapted, going out to other places will instead make one feel unaccustomed.

Wuhun City is prosperous and basically has everything; it can satisfy all the needs of cultivators or ordinary people, making people fall in love with this city without realizing it.

It subtly and slowly assimilates those who come to Wuhun City.

Moreover, most of the various knowledge of the Spirit Hall has been made public, and everyone can view it.

Added to that, the people of Wuhun City have basically all practiced the Jerry Meditation Method, and their Spirit Power has all improved to some extent.

Now, it has basically achieved the enlightenment of the entire population, and for many things, they will have their own judgment.

Therefore, it is also very difficult for Tang San and his group to develop new believers in Wuhun City.

Tang San's infiltration plan was indeed very successful at the beginning, and he very smoothly planted eyes and ears in many departments of the Spirit Hall.

If it were not for the fact that these people had participated in the God Trial and had some thoughts maliciously implanted by the gods, then in the general environment of the Spirit Hall, these people would have been assimilated sooner or later.

After Jerry cleared out so many people last time, he already reflected on it, so the believers captured later were all locked up.

There were also some people whom Jerry did not arrest; their positions were not important, they could not come into contact with the secrets of the Spirit Hall, they had not committed any errors, and they were all working diligently, so arresting them would require arranging for others to take over their work, so he simply did not arrest them and let others in the department keep an eye on them instead.

In fact, a large group among these believers of Tang San came from the Extreme North, and because they were not wanted criminals of the Spirit Hall, they did not even falsify their information after arriving in Wuhun City.

Moreover, people from the Extreme North have a characteristic: once winter arrives, they unconsciously dress very heavily, and they also have some leather clothing made from the leather of Soul Beasts unique to the Extreme North.

There were too many loopholes, making it very easy for Jerry to pay attention to a large group of them.

This group of people who were being watched could not come into contact with secrets at all, and if they did, those were likely baits released by Jerry.

This group of people actually had no faults; they participated in the God Trial and were maliciously implanted, and now they have already begun to study how to clear the malicious implants from the God Realm in private.
