This can't be her actually starting to enjoy this kind of stimulation, right?
Bi Ji and Di Tian exchanged a glance.
"What are you looking at me for?" Di Tian instinctively turned his head the other way. "I had no idea Gu Yuena had this kind of fetish."
Bi Ji: "…"
I didn't even say anything!
You, Di Tian, still claim you don't understand the human world, yet you said I was happily reading certain "trash books."
You've read plenty yourself.
"Alright, all done."
The sudden voice interrupted the awkward atmosphere between Di Tian and Bi Ji.
"Hm? What's wrong with you two?" Ning Rongrong looked at them in surprise.
"Nothing. I just remembered some other things I saw in Young Sect Master's memories."
"Other things?"
A hint of confusion appeared on Ning Rongrong's face.
"It's some memories from that Dark Devilgod Tiger. Just a tiny bit—nothing important." Di Tian quickly covered it up.
"I see!" Ning Rongrong didn't dwell on it.
This Di Tian was actually pretty reliable, even if he could be a bit impulsive at times.
But now he was starting to seem almost as unreliable as Gu Yuena—this wouldn't do!
"You two take her back to the Star Dou Great Forest. She'll probably wake up after lying down for a few days."
"Got it." Before Ning Rongrong could react further, Di Tian grabbed the flushed-faced Gu Yuena in her dragon form with one hand. Together with Bi Ji, he opened a spatial rift and fled back to the Star Dou Great Forest as if escaping.
"There's not a single normal person around me!" Ning Rongrong pressed her forehead. Just what exactly did Di Tian see in Kurumi's memories during the resonance?
She was curious, but Ning Rongrong had no habit of peeking into her own artifact spirit's memories.
After all, everyone deserves some privacy.
During resonance, some things couldn't be avoided, but deliberately looking now would be a bit immoral.
"Well, things have more or less settled for now."
From Gu Yuena's memories, the seal on the Divine Realm could still hold for some time. That information alone was enough.
While Ning Rongrong was still thinking, a woman with three pairs of black-and-white divided angel wings descended rapidly.
She had golden long hair draped over her shoulders, exuding pure killing intent. Holy and fallen auras drifted around her in equal measure.
Ning Rongrong's eyes showed slight surprise:
"You were much faster than I expected. Congratulations on achieving God King."
"The thanks should come from me." Qian Renxue looked at Ning Rongrong and let out a soft sigh.
"I comprehended the Law of Destruction from the Crimson Mother—or rather, it fused with my own power. It became a kind of Judgment Law similar to the Asura God's Asura divine power, possessing both light and darkness attributes."
"I'm not really sure how to explain my power anymore."
"Is it something like this?"
Ning Rongrong extended her palm. Blood-red energy flowed across it, encircled by halos of white light, giving off a strong sense of majestic pressure.
"You… how did you do that?" Qian Renxue's eyes widened in disbelief.
One must know that the power granted by a divine seat was usually singular—that was the foundation of a divine seat.
"In simple terms, it's because our cultivation methods are different." Ning Rongrong shrugged.
The Judgment power in her palm dissipated. At her fingertips, a strand of blue water flowed, moving as if it were a living, nimble creature.
"God King-level control over water?" Qian Renxue exclaimed again.
"Mm. I don't have a divine seat."
"So I'm not bound by one. My cultivation method is also different from yours."
"Sigh… I really can't compare to you." Qian Renxue sighed. "Forget it, let's not talk about that. What are you planning to do next? I mean, about the continent."
"Also, about the position of Plane Lord—I might not be able to give it to Teacher for the time being."
"Mm. You should focus on stabilizing your divine seat first. The gates to the Divine Realm still have quite some time before they open."
"There's no need to rush."
"Thank you for understanding." Qian Renxue's anxious heart finally settled. "Don't worry—I absolutely won't let you down."
"Actually, it's fine even if you go back on your word." Ning Rongrong looked Qian Renxue up and down. "The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has a secret chamber. It used to be my experiment room."
"It's pretty spacious. Putting you, Qian Renxue, in there wouldn't be a problem."
Qian Renxue's face filled with black lines: "It's fine if you tell me, just don't mention it in front of my mom."
"Pfft—you're saying it's fine as long as it's me you tell?" Ning Rongrong burst into laughter. "Want me to take you there right now?"
"Get lost!" Qian Renxue instinctively stepped back several paces. "Don't mess around. I… I'm already a God King now."
She was clearly a God King—how come she felt so weak!
"A lot of people died on the Douluo Continent." Qian Renxue forcibly changed the subject. If she kept chatting with Ning Rongrong, who knew how long it would drag on.
"Reviving them isn't very difficult for me."
"You can already do that much?" Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes widened.
"Only those who died recently." Ning Rongrong explained. "My earlier Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Array could absorb souls and prevent them from dissipating. Even though the array broke, it still had some effect."
"With my current power, reviving the people and soul beasts who died in this incident is still doable."
"Then thank you." Qian Renxue said gratefully.
"You can take credit for the revivals in name. I don't need faith, but you need it to raise your strength and stabilize your divine seat."
"Is that really okay? It was clearly…" Qian Renxue felt a bit conflicted. Everything turning out well was basically all thanks to Ning Rongrong. Taking credit like this felt a little too much.
"Why worry about pointless things? If we can't hold on after the Divine Realm gates open, we're all finished anyway."
"Alright!"
Qian Renxue stopped being overly polite.
After Qian Renxue left, Ning Rongrong also departed from the Star Luo Empire.
Several days later.
The abyssal plane in the Star Luo Empire had completely vanished, fully absorbed by Douluo Star.
The area of Douluo Star had multiplied several times over, and even the heaven-and-earth vital energy had become much denser.
Moreover, under the influence of "Qian Renxue's divine power," the dead people and soul beasts were revived. The Angel God Qian Renxue gained another wave of faith.
At this moment, inside the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
In the secret… uh uh uh, no—inside Ning Fengzhi's bedroom.
Ning Rongrong, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Sect Leader Ning Fengzhi gathered together.
"Rongrong, what level is your current strength?"
Outside, it was said that Qian Renxue had revived the dead, but these three knew it was actually their daughter/granddaughter who did it.
"Not weaker than a God King, at least!"
"Hiss—"
Ning Fengzhi and the other two sucked in a cold breath.
Although they had guessed, hearing the truth still made them tremble with shock.
"Rongrong, that cultivation method of yours—could we…" Sword Douluo licked his lips.
"It's impossible. Your cultivation paths are already fixed. Unless the Dragon God rules are broken—and even then, not even children could cultivate exactly like me."
Ning Rongrong shook her head.
She didn't have a mature cultivation system here. Her martial soul was formed from fragments of the Dragon God rules, and her success came from certain special circumstances.
She had experience from her previous life, and each breakthrough allowed her to re-observe and adjust for any unexpected issues.
For older cultivators, their paths were already set, and their meridians couldn't adapt. It was impossible.
Children might be able to start, but they couldn't handle sudden unexpected situations—nine out of ten would basically explode.
"Dad, Grandpas, just take it steady and solid."
"You all have the potential to break through to the god level. Once Qian Renxue stabilizes her divine seat, I'll take the Plane Lord position from her."
"God level, huh…" Ning Fengzhi sighed emotionally. "Speaking of which, Dugu Yan also has a similar cultivation method, right?"
"Mm. Though there are differences, her martial soul isn't formed from Dragon God rules."
"Dugu Yan really is a poison specialist."
Her martial soul was only symbolic.
"Dugu Yan is just a special case. Anyway, don't think too much about it. The things coming next—I'll handle them together with Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena."
Speaking of Gu Yuena, Ning Rongrong thought—maybe she should go check on her now.
