Chapter 360: Gu Yuena's Guidance

Upon seeing the two Soul Spirits, Bingdi and Xuedi, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression immediately turned sour.

Naturally, he would not lower himself to curry favor; after a slight nod, he casually found an empty space within the Sea of Consciousness to close his eyes and sleep.

Outside.

A brilliant blue-gold Soul Ring slowly descended onto the Nine Nether Begonia martial soul in Ye Lingling's hand; the nine shining Soul Rings radiated a terrifying aura, causing the entire space to solidify.

However, the dispersing soul power fluctuations did not cease. The color of the Nine Nether Begonia in Ye Lingling's hand changed, turning pure white; the nine Soul Rings faded, and eight Soul Rings emerged—it was the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul.

The violent soul power continued to converge, gradually forming a brand-new Soul Ring.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had directly helped both of Ye Lingling's martial souls obtain a Ninth Soul Ring.

Ye Lingling's strength also surged in one go, directly rising to Level 95!

A blue light slowly submerged into Ye Lingling's legs.

The Sea God's voice also rang out in Ye Lingling's mind.

"Sea God Nine Trials, Eighth Trial complete. Reward: Sea God Affinity increased by 30%, total affinity 125%!"

Listening to the voice in her mind, Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes.

"Congratulations, Lingling!"

"Lingling, what is your Ninth Trial?"

Seeing Ye Lingling wake up, the two women immediately crowded around.

Ye Lingling paused and said, "I can only see half of it now; I must cultivate to Level 99 and return to Sea God Island before I can see the other half."

"Is there no time limit?"

"Within five years."

"It looks like we all need to step up our cultivation."

"Mm." Ye Lingling nodded. "Actually, there is a treasure that can help me quickly improve my strength."

As she spoke, the Sea God Trident in Ye Lingling's hand plunged into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's head. With a soft *puff*, she twisted her wrist, her body flew horizontally in mid-air, and she forcefully sliced open the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's head from the point of entry.

The next second, a rich, intense fragrance surged out from the opening.

After the dozen-square-meter skull was lifted, the exposed brain was less than one square meter. However, that rich fragrance emanated precisely from this whale brain of less than one square meter.

This was the brain of the million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The whale brain appeared pure gold, looking like a paste, just like melted gold. The thick fragrance was extremely alluring.

Besides this, in the center of the whale brain, a fist-sized bead, radiating purple-gold light throughout, lay quietly there.

This whale pearl was the essence of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's entire life. In the original story, this bead replaced the Heart of the Ocean to become the new core of the Sea God Trident.

The three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts looked at the whale brain in the distance with a glimmer of desire in their eyes, though they controlled their emotions well.

"I didn't expect the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to have such a treasure inside."

The two women's eyes lit up, and Ye Lingling took out a Soul Guidance Device, directly collecting the whale brain and the whale pearl.

After the three women looked back at the seabed, Ye Lingling leaped lightly onto Xiaobai's back. "Let's go."

Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan also sat on their respective mounts, simultaneously accelerating to follow Xiaobai as they swam, ran, and flew toward the direction of Douluo Continent.

On the way, the three women did not speak, all meditating in peace. It was not until two days later, when the black horizon appeared within their line of sight, that the three women opened their eyes, looking joyfully at the familiar figure on the distant coast.

"Xiao Quan!" Before even landing, the three women were already waving excitedly at Shi Quan from afar.

After a tight embrace, Xiaobai told Ye Lingling that when they returned, she only needed to release the light of the Sea God Trident, and she would be able to sense it and come to pick him up at the fastest speed.

After saying this, Xiaobai turned and gradually disappeared where the water met the sky.

Stepping onto the continent again, the three women were undoubtedly excited; of course, what they were most excited about was seeing the person they had been longing for.

After a long separation, there was naturally a period of rekindled passion.

After a round of "three heroes battling Lu Bu."

The three women leaned quietly against Shi Quan's arms on both sides. "Xiao Quan, why didn't you show yourself when we were in the Demon Whale Sea Area?"

"Because of the Sea God," Shi Quan said softly.

Shi Quan had never told the three women about his identity as the Child of Heaven's Luck before. Now that the three women's strength was among the top tier on the continent, and each had obtained a divine inheritance, it was time to tell them.

"Xiao Quan, no matter what, we will stand behind you."

"That's right, Xiao Quan, don't worry, we will all support you."

……

The three women chattered on, and Shi Quan felt a peace of mind he had never known before.

The great battle was over.

Returning to the main topic, Shi Quan took out a water-blue and a fire-red crystal bead, both crystalline throughout, from his Sea of Consciousness World and handed them to Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.

These two beads were condensed from the pure power of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, capable of helping the two women quickly increase their soul power levels.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's brain and pearl had both been stored by Shi Quan in his Sea of Consciousness World, then purified and converted into the purest energy using World Power and the power of the Holy Dragon Eight Wings to be distributed among the three women.

Because Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan already had the crystal beads condensed from the Water and Fire Dragon King's power to assist in improving their strength, most of the energy from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body was given to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling were people without a home; Shi Quan was their home. Dugu Yan still had her grandfather, Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo had grown accustomed to staying in Heaven Dou City, so he had been living there all along.

Therefore, everyone decided to return to Heaven Dou City.

Seeing his granddaughter after more than four years, Dugu Bo's eyes turned red. Upon learning that all three women had obtained their respective divine inheritances, he felt even more joy and excitement.

The days that followed became quiet and harmonious.

The three women all worked hard at their cultivation, improving their respective soul power in order to make a breakthrough in the shortest possible time and complete their respective trials.

After staying with the three women for a month, Shi Quan gave a few soul bones to Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan, then left Heaven Dou City alone and went to the Star Dou Great Forest.

The three women all possessed divine inheritances, especially Zhu Zhuqing, who held the inheritance of Asura. To avoid their auras being detected by the gods, and as a precaution, Shi Quan chose to go to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest to enter seclusion and cultivate.

Meeting Gu Yuena again, Gu Yuena was also surprised by the changes in Shi Quan during this period.

The current Shi Quan gave her the feeling of being like this planet itself—not purely a person, but rather like a world.

After a conversation with Gu Yuena, Gu Yuena also offered Shi Quan some suggestions.

"The Source Power of the Dragon God originated from the Chaos Energy at the time of creation; this is the most primordial and core power in the universe."

"It was because of this power that the Dragon God was able to comprehend and control the nine major attributes: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, time, and stability. However, this is not all the attributes of the Chaos power of creation."

"Even the Dragon God of that time did not fully control all the attributes of the Chaos power of creation, and the power within your body has undergone a slight change on the basis of this Chaos power, thereby forming what you call Reincarnation. The power within it is also more complex, and it is absolutely not just the three attributes of life, Soul Soul, and earth."

"But fortunately, you have become the Child of Heaven's Luck, and as the Plane Core of Douluo Star, you can have an affinity with all the elements of heaven and earth. Coupled with the world you have opened up within your body."

"Although I don't know how you managed to open up a world within your own body, the benefits this world brings to you are absolutely unimaginable."

"What you need to do now is to try to comprehend more Elemental Power, and try to fuse the power of these elements; this should be able to help you control the power of Reincarnation."

"While you are controlling various elemental attributes, the world within your body will also gradually perfect itself, and it can also stabilize your own power."

"Among any three people, there must be one who can be my teacher," Shi Quan sighed to himself, realizing that having someone to guide him could indeed save him from taking many detours.

Gu Yuena could not help but sigh: "Your opportunities are indeed enviable. In fact, the Child of Heaven's Luck, as the Plane Core, is the only one with the chance to become an existence at the level of the Dragon God and even surpass the Dragon God, because the Dragon God can also be considered the Child of Heaven's Luck of the God Realm. The Child of Heaven's Luck itself is equivalent to the incarnation of a planet's will, and after growing to a certain stage, one can sense all the attributes that construct a planet."

"It's just..." Gu Yuena's expression revealed a hint of unwillingness, "If one cannot comprehend and stabilize all the attributes, a slight mishap will cause the Divine Power within the body to become imbalanced."

"The more attributes there are, the harder they are to control, and the more violent they become. Once they become imbalanced, it will affect the mind and lead to madness; the Dragon God of that year... was like this."

"This is also one of the reasons why the God Realm does not allow the Child of Heaven's Luck to exist; they are worried that the incident with the Dragon God will repeat itself."

After a brief silence, Gu Yuena looked at Shi Quan, "However, you don't seem to need to worry about this problem, because from the current situation, the world within your body will help you automatically stabilize these attributes, so you don't need to worry about the situation of imbalance."

"There is such a benefit!" Shi Quan's eyes lit up.

With the comprehension of various Elemental Power, his world would only become more powerful and stable; imbalance was impossible. Even if some kind of power conflicted with the world, the world would automatically adapt, thereby slowly evolving.

In other words, the existence of this world laid the foundation for him to surpass the Dragon God in the future.

"I am differentiated from the Dragon God and inherited the Chuangsheng Shengge of the Dragon God, possessing the talent to control all the heaven and earth elements that the Dragon God mastered. I can help you sense and master the heaven and earth elements faster."

"Many thanks." Shi Quan nodded slightly.

Gu Yuena shook her head and said: "We are partners, and everything you have done for the Spirit Beast and the Dragon Clan is worth my dedication to you."

Shi Quan nodded, and the two figures submerged into the depths of the core area, practicing in coordination with each other.

Because of the Sea of Consciousness World, Shi Quan's sensing and control of various elements were more comprehensive, and the two complemented each other through mutual discussion and cooperation.

Time passed quietly just like that.

One year later!

Slaughter City, above the throne of the Slaughter King.

After Tang Chen left, Tang San came to Slaughter City to replace his position and became the new Slaughter King.

The Black-Veiled Girl prostrated herself under Tang San with a trembling body, "Great King, now there is not even half of the people left in Slaughter City. Do you still want to continue the slaughter?"

A ferocious smile appeared on the corner of Tang San's mouth, "Why stop? It is their honor that they can become my power!"

"Such large-scale slaughter has made these Fallen Ones feel dissatisfied. I am afraid that if this continues, there will be internal strife in Slaughter City!" Speaking of this, the Black-Veiled Girl pressed her whole body onto the ground.

A terrifying black aura erupted from Tang San's body, "They are just a bunch of scum. If they dare to resist, I don't mind letting them contribute their power sooner!"

If it weren't for the fact that converting the soul power to be Devoured into his own strength required time—the more energy, the longer it took—Tang San would have already slaughtered all these people.

This number was not hundreds or thousands, but over one hundred thousand!

With the improvement of Tang San's strength, the improvement brought by Devouring was becoming slower and slower, but there were so many people in Slaughter City!

Moreover, the blood pool under Slaughter City contained all kinds of evil power, which was just a perfect fit. His soul power was already at level ninety-six.

He was confident that in at most two to three years, he would be able to Breakthrough to level ninety-nine and open the godhood assessment and inheritance!

Another year later!

Wuhun City, Gongfendian, inside the Tianshi Shendian.

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue before him with a smile, his eyes filled with a scorching light, "The time has come! Xiaoxue, keep it up!"

Intense golden flames suddenly rose from Qian Daoliu's body. The flames had no temperature, but at this moment, they illuminated the entire temple.

Sacrifice!

This is something that all those who serve a god must experience.

Although Qian Renxue knew this, when she truly saw this scene, her eyes were still filled with tears, "Grandfather!"

"If there really is a future..., Grandfather... hopes... to see... you achieve... Angel..."

Qian Daoliu's voice became intermittent, and Qian Renxue just watched as Qian Daoliu's body was gradually consumed by the golden flames.

Accompanied by extreme anger, the Angel God Sword in her hand was finally pulled out by her. Golden light erupted instantly, and the entire Tianshi Shendian turned into a dazzling golden ball of light, like the sun illuminating the night sky, illuminating everything around, and also swallowing Qian Renxue's body.

In this endless golden light, only a crisp shattering sound was heard from in front of Qian Renxue.

The jade pendant that Shi Quan had given to Qian Renxue quietly dissipated, flashed through the golden light, submerged into Qian Daoliu's finally burning, kind eyes, and then disappeared.

Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, Shi Quan suddenly opened his eyes, raised his gaze to look in the direction of Wuhun City, "Gu Yuena, I'm going to Wuhun City, I'll be back later."

The voice traveled from far to near, and Shi Quan's figure had long since disappeared into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest!

Amidst the golden radiance of the Tianshi Shendian, Qian Renxue was undergoing her final assessment. She saw her grandfather, her mother, and at the very end, she saw the figure of Shi Quan...
