The second soul core is something a level-98 Super Douluo only begins to condense when advancing toward level 99 Ultimate Douluo.
But after consuming the Mixed-Origin Immortal Herb, Kong Deming's soul power had become incomparably solid. Combined with the appearance of a new soul-power vortex, he couldn't help but entertain the possibility!
Especially after seeing Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong condense soul cores while still at the Soul Sage level—he felt even more determined to take the risk!
As a teacher, he couldn't always let his students fight on the front lines. He had to do what he could as well!
Jiang Shengyu looked at Kong Deming's expression and understood his thoughts. She said solemnly,
"Teacher, you will definitely succeed. This world will protect you."
Although Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong, having taken the authority of fate from the hands of Destiny itself, were still unable to truly become the plane rulers of the Douluo Realm, the blessing they spoke carried a faint trace of world-will protection.
After handing Infernal Delicate Apricot and the other plant-type fierce beasts to Kong Deming so he could arrange accommodation for them, Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong brought Gu Yuena to Jiang Feixin.
Bi Ji, who had been taking care of Jiang Feixin, was shocked when Gu Yuena appeared.
"Master, why have you come here? Your body…"
Gu Yuena waved her hand.
"My body is fine. The auspicious beast's condition is what matters now. The Sea God's daughter's soul inside her is constantly consuming her origin. And with Tang San's power gradually influencing the Douluo Continent, it will be very difficult for the auspicious beast to defeat the parasitic soul on her own."
Although Electrolux had said external power could do little for Jiang Feixin, Bi Ji's devotion to Gu Yuena bordered on fanaticism. In her eyes, if her Lord took action, everything would be resolved.
They gathered around Jiang Feixin's bedside. Her face had turned pale—her former vitality and rosy complexion gone. When Gu Yuena saw her condition, she spoke:
"Someone has infused her soul with pure light-attribute power. Who was it?"
"Yuhao," Jiang Qingtong replied.
Bi Ji nodded. "Yes, that human named Huo Yuhao. His understanding of the spiritual level far surpasses ordinary people. Even I was shocked by the vast and boundless spiritual power he possesses."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena nodded slightly.
"He is a good human."
After giving this brief evaluation, Gu Yuena raised her hand. The elemental energies drifting through space were all drawn to her. Streams of multicolored light gathered in her palm, forming a patch of radiant, iridescent cloud.
The rainbow cloud expanded from a small corner until it covered all of Jiang Feixin's body.
As the lights flickered continuously, Jiang Feixin's brows slowly furrowed. Even Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong could feel the surging soul-force inside her.
There was even a shrill scream coming from within!
Soon, Gu Yuena sensed something. Her pupils shifted into vertical slits, and terrifying draconic might spread outward, enveloping the entire room. Silver light surged skyward!
That brilliance isolated the inside from the outside—preventing all probing or spiritual power from penetrating.
Gu Yuena had sensed that this half-soul of the Sea God's daughter was trying to call out to Tang San!
Although Gu Yuena was still not Tang San's match, dealing with half of the Sea God's daughter's soul and cutting her connection to Tang San posed no difficulty.
Once the isolation was complete, silver dragon scales surfaced across Gu Yuena's right hand. Her vast draconic pressure suppressed the Sea God's daughter's soul. Resonating with the Golden Dragon bloodline within Jiang Feixin, the two dragon auras gradually merged!
Then Jiang Feixin's aura grew stronger and stronger, while the aura of the Sea God's daughter weakened until it finally disappeared.
Not long after, Jiang Feixin opened her eyes.
She stared blankly at the sky for a moment, then turned to Jiang Shengyu and the others. After a short pause, she asked,
"Silver Dragon King… why are you here?"
"I came to save you," Gu Yuena answered. She stopped Jiang Feixin from getting out of bed and continued,
"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Don't rush."
"I… what about the person inside me?" Jiang Feixin asked, frowning.
Jiang Qingtong smiled. "Gu Yue has completely suppressed her."
Gu Yuena nodded.
"I have fully suppressed that half-soul of the Sea God's daughter inside your body. You can slowly absorb her power."
It took Jiang Feixin quite a while to process everything. Then she took a long breath and muttered with lingering fear,
"So terrifying… These damned gods really will use any method!"
"Who could have imagined that to seize the power of fate and the Golden Dragon Spear, Tang San would even use his own daughter as a tool? Splitting her soul into two pieces!" Jiang Shengyu sighed.
Bi Ji added,
"To manipulate a soul like that… it's very similar to your human evil soul masters."
"He is the progenitor of evil soul masters."
Jiang Shengyu looked at Bi Ji and explained:
"If he hadn't overthrown the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, destroyed the Slaughter City, yet failed to establish a functional governing institution afterward, would evil soul masters have been able to develop for ten thousand years and even produce Limit Douluo stronger than Shrek?"
Jiang Shengyu didn't judge whether Spirit Hall becoming the Spirit Empire was right or wrong. What he criticized was that after Tang San destroyed Spirit Hall, he abandoned the continent, allowing it to decay into a playground for nobles.
That was the truly unforgivable mistake.
Bi Ji nodded vigorously, deeply agreeing with Jiang Shengyu.
Gu Yuena instructed Jiang Feixin to rest well. She needed to return to the Star Dou Forest—who knew what little tricks Tang San might try next?
But Jiang Shengyu insisted she stay two more days so she could bring a new set of soul tool defenses back with her. This time, Jiang Shengyu made the decision himself:
two ninth-level stationary soul-guided shells for the Star Dou Forest—undeniably sincere.
With these two ninth-level shells, the forest gained the equivalent deterrence of two Limit Douluo—greatly reducing Di Tian's burden.
Gu Yuena thanked them, then left Mingdu with the equipment. Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong stood at the main entrance of the imperial palace, gazing upward at the blazing Pure Lotus Demon Flame burning across the sky.
Under the glow of that flame and the illumination of various soul-tool light sources, even though the sun was hidden behind dark clouds, the Sun–Moon Empire remained stable, without major unrest.
Food production was stable thanks to soul-tool technology and widespread artificial lighting, so there would be no immediate crisis.
But humans still needed sunlight.
Either he would disperse the clouds…
or he would push the Pure Lotus Demon Flame to the point where it could truly replace the brightness of a star.
