Golden light mist swirled around him. Xu Zihuang carefully sensed the changes within himself after inheriting the position of a god.
The boundless divine sea was like an entirely new plane. With just a thought from him, everything inside would naturally appear. Here, he was the ruler of all things.
Similarly radiant and divine golden divine power quietly flowed within his body.
Now, his divine power could change attributes according to his will. Of course, the transformation of attributes was still limited to those he controlled, but it was far purer than before, this was an essential sublimation.
When Xu Zihuang opened and closed his eyes, he was surprised to find himself in the vast and profound outer space beyond the domain. Below him was the deep blue Douluo Star. Countless points of starlight shone upon him, as if endless scenes were flowing within his brilliant golden eyes.
Every plane in this world was a star. The mental power of humans or other creatures would gradually rise and form a special place. This place stood above all stars, yet was closely connected to every single one of them. It was like a space that had been separately opened up.
This place was the Divine Realm.
Xu Zihuang looked up and could clearly perceive the location of the Divine Realm. As long as he wished, he could enter it at any time.
However, he had no such intention right now. Before entering the Divine Realm, he still needed to complete some matters.
Slowly retracting his gaze, Xu Zihuang once again looked down at the Douluo Star below. Through the River of Time, he saw countless scenes from the ages past.
Suddenly, his expression froze slightly, then he murmured with understanding.
"So that's how it is."
In the Divine Realm of that year, there had once been a first-level god known as the Thunder God. Later, when the Dragon God led the Dragon Clan in launching the Divine Realm War, the Thunder God fell in that battle, landing on the Douluo plane. This was also the origin of the top-tier thunder-attribute plant-type soul beast bloodline known as the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine.
The Thunder God's true place of fall was on another continent outside the Douluo Continent and the Star Luo Continent. In Xu Zihuang's memories from his previous life, later generations called it the Heaven Dou Continent.
All the continents on Douluo Star were originally connected as one. It was only due to the impact of that Divine Realm War that the complete ancient continent shattered into pieces, forming the current layout.
The Thunder God had fallen, but his divine position had not been destroyed. With Xu Zihuang's current abilities, and through the connection between the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine and the Thunder God, he could completely repair the Thunder God's divine position and turn it into his own.
Of course, he did not simply want to reshape the Thunder God's divine position. He planned to use it as the foundation for a second divine position. Then, by combining it with his own abilities and absorbing the power of faith from the entire Douluo Star, he might be able to create a second top-tier God King divine position.
As his thoughts wandered, Xu Zihuang unconsciously arrived at the area where Ah Yin was sealed. Golden and silver-colored chains of eternal time and space wrapped around Ah Yin's limbs, forcing her into a humiliating posture. Bound by the eternal time and space chains, her perfect body curves were displayed to the fullest. Especially those few subtly charming arcs.
Ah Yin had once inherited a second-level god position, so she could survive in this outer domain space. But for her, this was instead a form of torment.
Seeing Xu Zihuang's figure in the distance, the dim light in Ah Yin's eyes instantly gained some luster. She clenched her fists in anguish.
"Why? Why do you have to target our family like this?!"
"Target? Is it me targeting your family, or is it Tang San targeting me?" Xu Zihuang shook his head with a smile and walked past Ah Yin.
"It seems you still don't understand your son's nature. From the very beginning, it was always him repeatedly plotting against me. And all of this is simply what he deserves."
Xu Zihuang couldn't be bothered to explain anything more to Ah Yin. The words he had said to her back then were purely meant to disgust Tang San. In truth, no matter what, he would never let Tang San go, and Ah Yin could not escape the fate of becoming Ning Tian's soul ring and soul bone.
Afterward, Xu Zihuang continued to comprehend the insights from breaking free from the Douluo plane's restraints for the first time. Being here was more conducive to him mastering his own abilities. However, he was not in a hurry. After all, there were still some matters waiting for him to handle on the Douluo plane.
More than one-third of the Heavenly Soul Empire's territory had originally fallen into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire. Today, the Sun Moon Empire's takeover proceeded exceptionally smoothly.
But the most important factor was the cooperation between Wei Na, the former Empress of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Body Sect.
The civil and military officials of the Heavenly Soul Empire had already disbanded. Inside the spacious main hall of the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial palace, only Wei Na remained.
The resplendent hall was filled with luxurious decorations. Classical and exquisite murals were engraved on the gold-red walls. Even the pillars were carved with reliefs of auspicious beasts.
Soft, warm-colored soul guidance lights poured down from the crystal soul guidance chandeliers on the dome, falling onto Wei Na's snow-white, fragrant shoulders and further accentuating her delicate skin.
Since she had already submitted to the Sun Moon Empire, Wei Na naturally could no longer wear the imperial crown symbolizing her status as Empress. In its place was a precious and luxurious headdress. Various dazzling jewels and gemstones adorned her black hair.
Wei Na had also changed out of her daytime imperial robes into a dignified and noble golden palace dress.
At this moment, she was kneeling prostrate before the main seat of the hall, her head lowered. Her jade-green, light-green eyes were filled with resentment.
Wei Na was only twenty-four years old this year, but she had experienced far too much in these years. The Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial family had been destroyed. Among the direct line of the imperial family, only she remained. Facing the overwhelming power of Xu Zihuang and the Sun Moon Empire, she truly could not hold on any longer.
But at the very least, she would fulfill the responsibilities she carried to the end.
Golden light flashed. Xu Zihuang silently returned to the hall. Seeing Wei Na kneeling before him, he quietly sat down on the main seat. The golden-silver robe engraved with strange patterns on his body seemed to contain the supreme principles of heaven and earth.
When soul masters of the Douluo plane achieved the position of a god, divine armor would appear. Xu Zihuang was no exception. However, because his abilities were related to time and space, his divine armor did not ultimately manifest in a physical form. Instead, it fused with this world itself.
This golden-silver robe was transformed in exactly this way.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Zihuang isolated himself from this world, allowing Wei Na to finally notice his arrival.
Wei Na suddenly raised her head and looked toward Xu Zihuang, seated in the main position. Her gaze became even more resentful. Her eyes reddened slightly as she tightly pursed her lustrous lips.
"God." Wei Na silently recited in her heart. A bitter smile appeared on her beautiful face.
Xu Zihuang's figure flashed and appeared in front of Wei Na. He sighed lightly with a complex expression.
"Wei Na, why go to such lengths? I have already accepted the surrender of your Heavenly Soul Empire and will naturally keep my promise and cease any unnecessary slaughter."
"It is not that I don't believe you will keep your word. But since I am the Empress of the Heavenly Soul Empire, these matters must be done by me."
Hearing Xu Zihuang's words, a trace of relief finally appeared on Wei Na's face. She then kowtowed to him of her own accord. The jeweled headdress in her black hair fell onto the floor, producing crisp clinking sounds.
Her long skirt spread across the ground as her soft, delicate body curled slightly.
Wei Na solemnly completed the full three kneels and nine kowtows, lowering her posture to the lowest possible level.
Xu Zihuang frowned slightly, then relaxed again and did not stop her.
After finishing, Wei Na raised her head and smiled at Xu Zihuang. With a dazed look in her eyes, she said softly:
"Tianhuang, if I tell you my choice now, will you still agree?"
Xu Zihuang's gaze focused slightly as he recalled the private night conversation he had with Wei Na more than a year ago. It had also been in the main hall of the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial palace, on a similarly quiet night.
Before Xu Zihuang could respond, Wei Na suddenly stood up and pressed her face close to his. Their breaths instantly intertwined. This scene seemed to freeze in place, as if time had stopped flowing.
Seeing that Xu Zihuang did not reject her, Wei Na completely relaxed. Her jade-like arms wrapped tightly around Xu Zihuang's waist and back.
"This is my answer. Tianhuang, I cannot deny that at the very beginning I was attracted by your excellence. There was some calculation mixed in, and even now it may still be so. But I really don't want to suppress the feelings in my heart any longer. I want to have a child with you. A child with the bloodlines of both the Sun Moon Empire's imperial family and the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial family will surely promote the fusion of the two countries."
One thing Wei Na did not say was that in this way, the bloodline of their Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial family could also be passed down forever.
Born as an imperial princess, how many could truly be so pure? Although Wei Na did not have as many schemes as Xu Jiujiu, she was far more perceptive than most people and acted with greater decisiveness.
"I said before, if your thoughts have not changed, I will let you have your wish."
Xu Zihuang lowered his head and met Wei Na's eyes. Then, with a light smile, he took the initiative to lean down. Everything should follow one's heart; there was no need to deliberately refuse. Now, nothing in the world could bind him anymore.
A flash of surprise appeared in Wei Na's beautiful eyes, and her charming face became even more alluring. In her dazed gaze, her palace dress quietly slipped off.
Inside the resplendent hall, light and shadow intertwined. Every corner became stained with the aura of the two.
The floor, the steps, the throne…
Given their identities, the offspring born from their union would possess an incomparably noble status and bloodline.
