By using his mental force to integrate all the Domains he possessed, The Everdistant Utopia had already transcended the scope of a Spirit Ability, building upon the functions of multiple Domains.
Wang Nan's ninth spirit ring Domain could suppress the power of other Spirit Masters. With the added influence of his mental force, the others did not immediately realize what was wrong, as if they had truly become ordinary people without spirit power.
The power within Long Xiaoyao had completely dissipated. His Spirit, spirit rings, and Spirit Bones had all been consumed along with the final flame of life he ignited. Nothing remained except an empty shell.
Wang Nan regained full awareness, his mental force continuously adjusting the power within the Domain. Xuan Zi, Poison Undying, and the others gradually awakened.
They all looked at Wang Nan, their gazes subtly changed.
Whether it was Xuan Zi, who had placed Shrek Academy above everything since Mu En's death; Poison Undying, whose hatred after his brother's death had never truly faded; or Star Luo Douluo, who had been born into royalty and dedicated his life to the Empire, all of them had long forgotten why they had begun training in the first place.
Immersed in Wang Nan's Domain, they suffered no harm. Instead, it felt as though they had experienced a dream, one in which they returned to their youth, a time when cultivation was far less constrained than it was now.
As people aged and experienced more of the world, dust inevitably accumulated on the innocent heart they once had when they first embarked on the path of cultivation.
During that brief period of losing their spirit power, they felt as though they had truly merged with the people on that immortal mountain. They were ordinary individuals who had lost everything and were once again treading the path of ascending to Heaven. Blurred memories surfaced before their eyes.
Star Luo Douluo was the first to fully recover. He cupped his hands slightly toward Wang Nan.
The spirit power that had been dormant within him for a long time now showed faint signs of activity. This short experience would likely remain with him for a very long time.
Wang Nan did not take credit. Any Super Douluo who could cultivate to the ninety-eighth rank was already an astonishing genius. Their talent and comprehension far surpassed most others. They had merely gained some insight under the influence of his mental force.
With a ripple of mental force, the sky brightened further. The extreme night brought about by Long Xiaoyao was completely dispelled, and golden light poured down, restoring vitality to the world.
Taking a step forward, Wang Nan crossed space itself and appeared before Ye Xishui.
Ye Xishui slowly raised her head. The evil aura of the Blood Demon Puppet on her body was suppressed, and her cold face showed a faint trace of color.
She slowly scanned the surroundings. The tear marks on her face were still clearly visible, yet she no longer cared. In a hoarse voice, she asked, "Where is Xiaoyao?"
Wang Nan said nothing and simply stepped slightly aside.
Behind him, Long Xiaoyao lay quietly on the ground, his long white hair gently stirring in the breeze.
Ye Xishui's aura completely receded. She hurried forward and carefully cradled Long Xiaoyao's body in her arms.
She reached out and gently tucked his hair behind his ears.
Only when she saw a trace of his former appearance upon his face did a faint smile finally appear on Ye Xishui's lips.
She had no intention of attacking again. If Wang Nan could defeat Long Xiaoyao in that state, she herself had no chance of escape.
Moreover, she had never intended to flee. Her path forward had been cut off, and the person she relied on had already passed away. In this world, there was nothing left for her to cling to.
Ye Xishui did not look up at Wang Nan or the others. She simply held Long Xiaoyao tightly, as if wishing to merge with him, and golden flames slowly rose around them.
When Xuan Zi saw those golden flames and sensed the faintly familiar aura, his expression changed drastically. He instinctively glanced toward Wang Nan.
However, Wang Nan's expression remained unchanged. He had long known that Yan Shaozhe was the descendant of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.
The golden flames were not particularly hot, at least not for the surrounding Titled Douluo. Only Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao's bodies gradually dissipated within the flames.
A Limit Douluo thus passed away in silence.
Moments later, the flames extinguished. There was no trace of Ye Xishui or Long Xiaoyao left, only six Spirit Bones emitting a faint glow at the spot where they had vanished.
Long Xiaoyao's Spirit Bones had already burned away alongside him. What remained were those belonging to Ye Xishui.
"Thank you all for your assistance."
The Douling Empire's Spirit Master legions began dispersing, leading the regular army to clear the battlefield. Tianyang Douluo flew over and cupped his hands toward Wang Nan and the others.
"Tianyang Douluo, you are too kind," Wang Nan replied.
He glanced at the Spirit Bones before him and reached out to collect two of them.
"These… Ye Xishui's Spirit Bones should be taken by Peerless Douluo," Poison Undying said.
Although nothing was said explicitly, everyone understood that if Wang Nan had not been present, they might all have fallen against Long Xiaoyao.
"You needn't be polite," Wang Nan replied calmly. "I still have one matter I would like to ask for your help with."
"Is Duke Heaven's Equal referring to the matter of the God Realm?" Star Luo Douluo asked from the side.
"Precisely." Wang Nan nodded. "I understand that it is difficult to convince others with words alone when it comes to the God Realm. However, seeing that your states of mind have improved, I believe further breakthroughs are not far off. We can discuss it in detail when that time comes."
"As for these Spirit Bones, defeating Death God Douluo was a joint effort. This is only appropriate."
Poison Undying and the others exchanged glances before finally accepting Ye Xishui's Spirit Bones.
For Spirit Masters at their level, Spirit Bones were no longer particularly rare. Accepting them also signified their agreement to assist Wang Nan.
Wang Nan had still underestimated the influence of a Spirit Master in this world. Once he displayed power beyond the limit, doubts naturally diminished.
Seeing that nothing else remained to be done, Wang Nan stayed where he was, showing no intention of leaving. The others understood that he was likely interested in what the deity had left behind.
However, with their mental force, they could not determine the exact location of those fragments. Nor did they possess God Position fragments like Ye Xishui that could guide them. After exchanging a few final words, they quickly departed.
"Whatever you intend to do, just say it. The Academy will fully support you."
Xuan Zi remained behind, stepping forward to stand before Wang Nan.
"Thank you, Elder Xuan. It's nothing major," Wang Nan replied calmly. "It's just that one day, I hope to invite some people to observe a ceremony."
