The morning sunlight on the beach was still gentle. The sand grains, like tiny pearls, sparkled under the sunlight.
The waves gently washed onto the beach, repeating in cycles, producing crisp and pleasant sounds.
Bo Saixi, seated cross-legged in the Sea God Temple, suddenly opened her eyes wide. A ripple flashed across her peerlessly beautiful face. In her eyes, deep as the tides, a blue light flickered past, and a vast aura uncontrollably erupted from her body.
"This is…"
Bo Saixi slightly lowered her gaze, feeling a trace of strange energy flowing within her body. For a moment, she actually fell into a brief daze.
Behind her, the Sea God statue emitted a mysterious blue glow like the ocean itself. Nine soul rings rose beneath Bo Saixi's feet, their light flickering. Bo Saixi only felt a wave of refreshing coolness wash over her entire body. The burning pain that had constantly tormented her origin slowly dissipated, replaced instead by a slow increase in her cultivation, which had been stagnant for a hundred years.
The changes happening to Bo Saixi were not only noticed by You Mengchu and the others. In the next moment, Tang Chen's figure quickly appeared, holding in his arms the child he shared with Bo Saixi.
Sensing the changes in Bo Saixi's body, a trace of shock appeared in Tang Chen's eyes. He then quietly stood to the side while holding the child, without making a sound to disturb her.
During the slow transformation, Bo Saixi's sealed cultivation began to rise steadily. As one of the few powerhouses in the current plane closest to the god level, aside from Shen Hanyu, Bo Saixi's soul power cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of human soul masters. Even when borrowing the power of the ocean and the Sea God's divine power within her body, her true strength was infinitely close to that of a deity.
In this sudden transformation, Bo Saixi's cultivation took another half-step forward. She was now a true demigod…
Of course, the term "demigod" here did not refer to a mere realm, but to a true demigod in the literal sense, or, from a certain perspective, an incomplete deity…
Even Tang Chen, the supreme powerhouse who had once fallen at the eighth trial of the Asura God, could not help but feel shocked by Bo Saixi's current power. On Bo Saixi, he truly sensed the aura of a god. It was not the aura of the Sea God, but the unique aura belonging to someone about to become a god. He himself had once been like this…
Thinking of this, a trace of dimness appeared in Tang Chen's eyes. He could be free and easy, but that did not truly mean he did not care about success or failure. Back then, he had failed to understand Bo Saixi's true meaning, ultimately leading to the current consequences. Even though he had later made some amends, it was still a thorn in his heart that was difficult to pull out. Even now, in the dead of night, he would still feel infinite regret and desolation because of it.
On the other hand, he felt that everything happening to Bo Saixi bore an extreme similarity to what had happened to him. It was a kind of pity, but also seemed like the final dignity granted to them.
The tall and majestic Sea God statue overlooked the two of them. Bo Saixi's wide skirt hem casually spread across the ground. Her eyes, serene as still water, opened without sorrow or joy. Only when she saw Tang Chen and the tiny figure in his arms did a trace of delight color them.
But before they could speak, the Sea God statue behind them once again erupted with an even gentler blue energy. Immediately after, the tiny figure in Tang Chen's arms floated up uncontrollably. Under the gaze of the two, a blue pillar of light connecting heaven and earth suddenly burst forth from the Sea God statue. Blue-golden light enveloped the entire Sea God Island. Countless residents of Sea God Island knelt in reverence, their devotion fervent and passionate.
In the faintly visible sky above, a tall figure holding a trident seemed to flash past, carrying boundless pressure. For a moment, the waves surged violently, and the entire ocean seemed to fall into extreme excitement.
In a pavilion on one side of Sea God Island, the Demon Empress watched the illusory figure in the sky with a calm expression, her heart completely unruffled. Toward the so-called Sea God, she and her husband felt nothing but indifference or even hatred. The accumulated grudge could not disappear, but for now, both sides had tacitly chosen to ignore each other.
You Mengchu was also watching this scene. She had her own obsessions regarding becoming a god. No one would desire even greater power and status. After getting to know Shen Hanyu, her horizons had been broadened by more than one level. Now, a Limit Douluo no longer satisfied her appetite. She too wanted to strive for that so-called rank 100.
Of course, there was also someone in the God Realm watching her efforts, this person was the Wind God, who had once competed with the Darkness God and the Space God for Shen Liuyu.
The Wind God belonged to the neutral faction in the God Realm that minded their own business. His greatest hobby was usually touring various places in the God Realm, and he had never cared about power struggles.
The reason he was eager to find an inheritor was largely that the God Realm was too boring. He wanted to explore the even broader world outside, rather than being trapped in this constrained and restricted God Realm…
The wind is free and cannot be contained. This had never changed.
After failing to compete for Shen Liuyu, he turned his attention to the equally outstanding You Mengchu. After careful consideration, he was extremely satisfied with her. Now, he only needed the right opportunity to bestow his own divine trial. After handing over the god position and authority in his hands several years later, true freedom that belonged solely to him would finally arrive…
…
The view returned to the Sea God Temple. As the blue-golden light slowly faded, the tiny figure floating in the sky was engraved with countless strange golden patterns. Especially prominent was the blue ocean mark on her forehead. However, these patterns and marks, after emitting a strange fluctuation together, slowly returned to their original state.
Bo Saixi reached out and caught the little one who was slowly floating down. The gentleness on her face made her appear particularly approachable at this moment. After sensing her daughter's body for a moment, Bo Saixi piously bowed toward the Sea God statue. Only then did she turn her head to look at Tang Chen.
A trace of a smile also appeared in Tang Chen's eyes. He slowly stepped forward, came to Bo Saixi's side, and said softly:
"How do you feel? And the child? I seem to sense some astonishing changes in her…"
A smile flowed across Bo Saixi's lips, but seeing the expectation in Tang Chen's eyes, she still shook her head.
"This is the blessing bestowed upon me by the Sea God after seeing the hard work and dedication I have put into believing in and protecting Sea God Island for so many years. Previously, after using a forbidden technique, I was slowly being rejected by the plane. But the Sea God solved this trouble for me. Moreover, this pure Sea God divine power, combined with my many years of accumulation at the Peerless Douluo realm, successfully condensed a broken god position for me, allowing me to take another step forward. But unfortunately, this final step is destined to be one I cannot take…"
Tang Chen smiled knowingly and then said:
"These things are no longer important, Xixi. You are now only half a step away from entering the God Realm. After borrowing the power of the ocean, what difference is there between you and a true deity…"
Bo Saixi also smiled faintly. She then looked at the familiar little girl in her arms and said softly:
"Yes, we no longer need to pursue those external things. Everything we have now is right here. This little one has received the Sea God's blessing and purification. Her intelligence and cultivation will probably awaken earlier. When I checked just now, there was already a reaction of soul power in the little one's body, and it wasn't weak…"
Tang Chen was slightly stunned, then stepped forward to sense it as well.
"Not bad. The soul power level is around level twelve. This…"
Bo Saixi smiled faintly, pinched the little one's chubby cheek, and then said:
"Just like the inheritance of the Angel family behind Qian Daoliu, a true god-level martial soul can break through the limit of ten levels of innate soul power. Although I don't know what our child's martial soul will be, I think that if her soul power exceeds ten levels when her martial soul awakens, the quality of her martial soul should not be inferior to the Angel martial soul. This little one, if no accidents occur in the future, should be able to successfully walk the path that we both failed to complete…"
Tang Chen laughed heartily. Looking at the delicate and exquisite little one, the joy in his eyes was unmistakable.
"That would be the best. We have walked once in this mortal world and can truly be said to have left our footprints. This little one's future is destined to be filled with boundless radiance. Infinite possibilities are waiting for her to explore. As her parents, we are truly happy for her…"
It seemed as if she had sensed the strong emotions of her parents. The little one dazedly opened her eyes. Looking at the two figures beside her, a tiny smile hung on her cheeks. Her chubby little hands waved in the air, as if wanting to touch the two of them. The vitality of life made both Bo Saixi and Tang Chen involuntarily laugh out loud. Sometimes happiness does not need to be overthought. At least they had once possessed it—that was enough…
…
Back on Sea God Island once more, Shen Hanyu put down Ye Lingling. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, a warm and soft sensation came from behind him.
The Snow Emperor and Shui Bing'er stood behind him, both with smiles on their faces.
Shen Liuyu was pulling Dugu Yan and Shui Yue'er, running wildly toward this side. Their reckless dashing made both Shui Yue'er and Dugu Yan hold their foreheads in exasperation, but they couldn't resist Shen Liuyu's overwhelming strength. Even if the two of them resisted together, they would only be crushed by her.
The Snow Emperor and Shui Bing'er glanced back, both somewhat helpless. Then, Shui Bing'er asked somewhat nervously:
"Is the situation on the continent still okay? What about Element City? How has my aunt been lately…"
Shen Hanyu pressed a hand against Shen Liuyu's forehead, then said softly:
"Don't worry. Although the continent has already entered a state of turmoil, the north is still relatively stable. Element City only needs to receive refugees and has no other issues. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have both been engulfed by the Spirit Hall's soul-hunting operation. It's unclear whether there are any survivors, but it can be confirmed that the remaining forces of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire cannot withstand the Spirit Hall's steps toward unification…"
"Aunt Shui is also doing quite well. These days have been rather leisurely for her, though she misses you all very much. She has been mentioning this to me for quite a while…"
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er both breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions relaxing considerably. Smiles reappeared on their faces.
"Brother, brother, what about Mom and Dad? Did they secretly give us a little brother or sister to play with…"
Before Shen Hanyu could continue speaking, Shen Liuyu asked impatiently with a mischievous smile.
Shen Hanyu knocked on Shen Liuyu's forehead and then said expressionlessly:
"No. Mom and Dad have been trying for so many years without success. These past few years, they've also learned bad habits from you and are preparing to start enjoying their retirement…"
Shen Liuyu was slightly stunned, then said somewhat angrily:
"What do you mean they learned bad habits from me? Haven't they always been like this? It's clearly they who taught this good child of theirs to be bad, and you're still slandering me…"
Shen Hanyu raised an eyebrow and said:
"Your courage has grown quite a bit lately. I wonder if you have the guts to repeat those words in front of Mom and Dad. If you do, I can take you back to the continent right now…"
Shen Liuyu looked a bit dumbfounded, then hurriedly waved her hands. Her fair and delicate face also flushed slightly.
"No need, no need. I'm afraid of making Mom and Dad angry. If they want to retire, I think that idea is pretty good too…"
Seeing Shen Liuyu instantly deflated, Shui Bing'er and the others couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle. Du Gu Yan, who had the biggest courage and loved arguing with Shen Liuyu the most, even laughed out loud.
Shen Liuyu turned her head and glared fiercely at everyone, but unfortunately, her threatening gaze had no effect at all. Instead, it only made everyone laugh even harder.
After the group had fooled around for a while, just as Shen Hanyu was about to pull the Snow Emperor aside to explain something, Dugu Yan suddenly blocked his path.
Looking at Shen Hanyu, Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment before speaking openly and directly:
"Um… I wanted to ask, is Yu Tianheng dead or alive now? Do you happen to know…"
Shen Hanyu was somewhat surprised, but still replied:
"I'm not sure about this. Before Yu Yuanzhen died, he devoured all the foundation and dragon qi of the entire True Dragon Mountain to amplify his own strength. But with just him alone, trying to stop the Spirit Hall was still somewhat unrealistic. According to the Spirit Hall, almost no disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect escaped. But whether Yu Tianheng was inside the sect at the time is hard to say…"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan frowned slightly, then gently nodded.
"Although time gradually deepened the conflicts and discord between Yu Tianheng and me, in the end, it also allowed us to find our own true paths. After so many years of feelings, I never expected it would end like this…"
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts. Perhaps from the very beginning, I should have listened to you. If so, maybe things wouldn't have turned out this bad…"
Shen Hanyu shook his head, not understanding what Dugu Yan meant by "bad"—whether it was her rotten romance, the years she had wasted, or if she was reminiscing about the happy times she once had with Yu Tianheng. But none of this had anything to do with Shen Hanyu. For all of this, he wasn't even a spectator, and he had nothing to say.
"Take good care of yourself. Old Bi Deng still needs you to look after him. This is fate—ever-changing. Just accept it slowly…"
After leaving these final words, Shen Hanyu directly bypassed Dugu Yan with the Snow Emperor and walked toward the distant beach.
Du Gu Yan's face remained calm, showing no emotion. Looking at Shen Liuyu and the others who were still frolicking not far away, a smile appeared on her face. She then discarded the complicated thoughts that had suddenly surfaced in her mind, swayed her increasingly alluring figure, and returned to the group of girls…
