Kindness, Life?
Ning Fengzhi's words echoed in the ears of Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue, leaving both of them buzzing.
God Kings—Ning Fengzhi was talking about God Kings?
Qian Renxue still hadn't fully processed it. Ning Rongrong suppressed her restless thoughts, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "Nothing happened on your side, right?"
Her tone carried a hint of probing.
She hadn't seen the slightest trace of coercion on Ning Fengzhi's face, which left her a little uncertain.
"No, don't overthink it."
"I see!" Ning Rongrong nodded.
Since neither his expression nor his tone showed any sign of trouble, the arrival of the two God Kings on the Douluo Continent probably wasn't hostile. She could relax her heart just a little.
"Understood. Qian Renxue and I will discuss it briefly and head back right away. Please take good care of our guests in the meantime."
"Alright, I know."
The projection screen vanished, and the entire palace fell silent.
"Rongrong, what do you think?" Qian Renxue was the first to speak.
Although she had never met the Kindness God King or the Life God King, fragments of the Angel God's memories contained traces of them. Moreover, the fact that the two had come down so openly this time clearly meant they had some purpose.
"We definitely have to meet them. Whether they're friend or foe will become clear once we see them face-to-face." Ning Rongrong let out a soft sigh.
"What about Gu Yuena? Should we notify her?" Gu Yuena's enmity with the five Great God Kings was already at the point of irreconcilable hostility. If two God Kings descended and Gu Yuena found out, she might lose control again.
"Let's not for now." Ning Rongrong sighed again. "Notifying her would just cause more trouble. We should first confirm why these two came down to Douluo Star."
"Gu Yuena really is unreliable.
She was supposed to be sealing the Divine Realm, yet these two God Kings came down completely in the open.
Is that how you seal things?
Last time her rampage already messed up my plans, and now she says it's sealed—yet not even half the time has passed.
Life and Kindness—two God Kings are squatting in my house.
"Shall we head over now?"
Seeing Ning Rongrong's helpless expression, Qian Renxue couldn't help asking again.
After all, the other side consisted of two Great God Kings—level 150 existences. No matter what, they had to figure out their true intentions.
"Let's go. There's nothing to worry about."
"Even in the worst case, with you and me together, it wouldn't be impossible to completely keep the non-combat-oriented Kindness and Life here."
"Uh…" Qian Renxue was speechless.
Ning Rongrong was seriously planning to devour two God Kings in one go.
"To be honest, I might not be able to beat even one of them." Qian Renxue gave Ning Rongrong a preventive reminder.
"Don't worry. In the worst scenario, you just need to find a way to hold one of them back. Killing or capturing them will be my job."
"In that case, it should be fine." Qian Renxue pinched her chin thoughtfully.
The Angel God fragments contained battle experience and memories.
She might not be able to defeat the five Great God Kings, but as fellow God Kings, holding one back wouldn't be too difficult.
"Let's go and take a look."
Ning Rongrong casually tore open a spatial rift and stepped in first.
Qian Renxue gazed at the pitch-black spatial passage, sighed softly, and followed after her.
…
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, meeting hall.
The spacious hall contained only a handful of people.
Sitting in the main seat with a slightly tense expression was the middle-aged man Ning Fengzhi. Standing beside him were Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, both wearing calm expressions.
Below, in the guest seats, sat two women side by side.
One was a woman in a light green dress, her body faintly radiating an extremely intense aura of life. She gave off a feeling somewhat similar to Bi Ji, yet the fluctuations she emitted were countless times stronger.
Beside her sat a girl who looked somewhat loli-like.
Her pure appearance made it impossible for anyone to harbor any wicked thoughts. Her white long skirt was spotless. Two strands of black long hair draped in front of her chest, swaying gently. Her large, jet-black, lustrous eyes carried a gentle and moving brilliance. Her temperament was like an immaculate white lotus.
"Ning Sect Leader, may we know when the person we're looking for will return?" The one who spoke was the woman in the light green dress. Her tone carried a trace of impatience.
"Lady Life God King, my daughter will arrive soon. I hope you won't keep pressing." Ning Fengzhi's eyelid twitched. Was this Life God King here to collect a debt?
Urging once every minute—if someone didn't know better, they'd think the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, rich beyond measure, owed her a fortune!
Honestly, conversing with two God Kings was extremely stressful for Ning Fengzhi.
If not for knowing that his daughter and disciple were roughly at the God King level as well,
he truly wouldn't have dared sit so steadily in the main seat.
These were God Kings—not level-100 gods, but true terrifying existences standing at the peak of the Divine Realm at level 150.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo weren't as calm as they appeared either.
But on the surface, they had to maintain that composure.
Suddenly, ripples of distortion appeared in the empty space of the hall.
Moments later, the space peeled open.
Two women stepped out from within.
"God King realm!"
The instant they saw Qian Renxue, shock appeared on the faces of the Life God King and Kindness God King.
One must know that, generally speaking, it was basically impossible for anyone in the lower realm to reach God King level.
"You are Ning Rongrong?" the Life God King asked.
"No." Qian Renxue shook her head. "My name is Qian Renxue—Ning Rongrong's friend and Ning Fengzhi's disciple. The one beside me is Ning Rongrong."
Qian Renxue's words caused the gazes of the Life God King and Kindness God King to shift slightly.
Ordinary!
Utterly ordinary.
If thrown into a crowd… well, her appearance was quite outstanding, so spotting her wouldn't be hard.
But no matter how you looked at her, she seemed like an ordinary person.
"You are Ning Rongrong?" This time it was the Kindness God King who spoke. Compared to the Life God King, she knew more. Although she had never truly met Ning Rongrong, she was aware of her deeds.
Back when she received the Snow Emperor's Ice God inheritance, she had also heard some information from the Snow Emperor.
"That's right." The spatial gate behind her slowly closed. Ning Rongrong sized up the Kindness God King and Life God King.
Their auras were very strong—much stronger than Qian Renxue's. Truly worthy of level-150 existences.
Ning Rongrong didn't dwell on it further and asked directly:
"May I ask what business brings the two God Kings to my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"If you come as friends, we will certainly treat you well. If as enemies—sorry, but I can only ask you to remain here permanently."
As she spoke, a terrifying pressure locked onto the Life God King and Kindness God King.
At the same time, the entire hall's space seemed to be severed from Douluo Star itself.
Sensing the abnormal changes around them, the expressions of Life and Kindness changed dramatically.
God King—no, probably even beyond that.
The other party's aura felt strange, but that heart-palpitating sense was definitely at least God King level.
The Kindness God King hurriedly spoke: "It was Evil who asked us to come. Life and I came this time hoping that you could help us."
"Help?"
Ning Rongrong's brows furrowed.
"I don't recall having any connection with you. Even Evil, at the end of the day, is just one inheritance from the Evil God Pearl."
As for the Evil God trial, Kurumi had already rejected and sealed it away—she had no intention of inheriting it.
"Yes, this concerns a major matter for the Divine Realm."
"Evil asked us to come and speak with you. If it's you, you might be able to help."
"Is that so?" Ning Rongrong's eyelids shifted slightly. "How exactly did you manage to pass through the barrier seal? I'm very curious about that—would you be willing to tell me?"
"Besides that, if I remember correctly, weren't you supposed to be sealing the Golden Dragon King?"
"This…"
Kindness and Life exchanged glances. In the end, it was the Life God King who spoke first.
"Yes, but something very unexpected happened."
"The Asura God King betrayed us and severely injured my husband, the Destruction God King."
