Hearing the Asura God's refusal, the Sea God's expression did not change at all; the Asura God's refusal was entirely within the Sea God's expectations.
"Asura, then what should I do about my Sea God's Heart?"
"I originally left the Sea God's Heart on the continent to select a successor capable of bearing my Vast Sea Power. Furthermore, the Sea God's Heart is an important tool for inheriting my God Position; I can't just not take it back."
The Sea God leaned back in his seat, his gaze quietly fixed on the Asura God in the main seat.
"Come with me; let's go to the Angel Divine Palace."
After a moment of contemplation, the Asura God stood up from his seat and walked out of the hall.
"Hasn't the Angel Divine Palace been closed since that great battle in the God Realm?"
The Sea God rose from his seat, followed the Asura God's pace, and asked softly.
"The Angel God was injured in that great battle."
"About twelve days ago, the Angel God's injuries had already healed, but the Angel Divine Palace simply wasn't opened."
The Asura God said as he walked forward.
"Twelve days ago?"
"One day in the God Realm is one year on the continent; that little girl seems to be only twelve years old now, right."
The Sea God muttered to himself, a hint of contemplation appearing in his eyes.
Hearing the Sea God's muttering, the Asura God merely glanced at the Sea God out of the corner of his eye and said nothing.
After leaving the Shura Gods Hall, the Asura God and the Sea God headed in the direction of the Angel Divine Palace.
... On the continent.
After a long journey, the carriage carrying Ye Xi, Qian Renxue, Tian Yue, and the others stopped in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Ye Xi, Qian Renxue, and Tian Yue stepped out of the carriage and walked straight into the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Ling Yuan followed silently behind the three of them.
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong, who was sitting in the Supreme Pontiff's seat, immediately cast her gaze over as she saw Ye Xi and the others walk in.
"Why have you returned?"
Bibi Dong's gaze swept over Ye Xi and Tian Yue before fixing on Qian Renxue.
"Do I need to report to you when I return?"
"Sister!" Qian Renxue raised her eyes, looked at Bibi Dong above, and enunciated the word "Sister" heavily.
"Naturally, you don't."
"Then, regarding the Heaven Dou Empire side..." A hint of gloom appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes, but before she could finish her sentence, she was directly interrupted by Qian Renxue.
"You don't need to worry about matters over there." After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she walked straight in the direction of the Hall of Offerings.
"Supreme Pontiff." Ye Xi said indifferently before quickly catching up to Qian Renxue's pace.
"Young Lord."
"Second Miss, wait for me." Tian Yue said, catching up to the two of them, with no intention of greeting Bibi Dong at all.
"Supreme Pontiff." After bowing slightly to Bibi Dong, Ling Yuan followed Ye Xi and the others.
Watching them leave, Bibi Dong's expression remained unchanged, but the pen she was using to handle administrative affairs quietly developed cracks.
With a snap, the pen used for administrative work broke in Bibi Dong's hand and fell onto the floor of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong glanced at the pen broken into several pieces on the ground, calmly picked up a new one, and continued to handle her administrative affairs.
Walking on the way back to the Hall of Offerings, Qian Renxue reached out and took Ye Xi's hand, a smile reappearing on her beautiful face.
"Ye Xi, let's walk faster. At this time, Grandfather should be playing chess with the Second Offering."
Qian Renxue said, her steps quickening involuntarily.
"Alright, Sister." After Ye Xi agreed, she sped up her pace.
Although Tian Yue didn't speak, she also quickened her pace, and a smile appeared on her face.
Arriving at the main hall of the Hall of Offerings, as expected, Qian Daoliu was sitting in the hall, playing chess with the Second Offering.
"Grandfather." After Ye Xi and Qian Renxue called out, they walked toward Qian Daoliu.
"Grandfather." Tian Yue called out to Golden Crocodile and walked toward him.
"Xue'er, Ye Xi, you've returned." Watching Qian Renxue and Ye Xi approach, Qian Daoliu put down the chess piece in his hand, a kind smile appearing on his face.
"Xue'er, you and Ye Xi have both grown quite a bit."
"And you are becoming more and more beautiful." Qian Daoliu stood up from his seat, his gaze continuously examining Ye Xi and Qian Renxue.
"Xue'er, how have you been these years in the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"And Ye Xi, during your time of training, did any shameless old guys make a move against you? If there were, tell Grandfather, and Grandfather will take the Angelic Sacred Sword and go help you reason with them."
Qian Daoliu beckoned Qian Renxue and Ye Xi to sit down, his words full of concern for the two of them.
"Grandfather, I've been doing quite well in the Heaven Dou Empire, but there's too little time to Cultivate, so my spirit power has been improving a bit slowly."
"But having Ye Xi in the Heaven Dou Empire to help me has made things much easier."
After Qian Renxue and Ye Xi sat down beside Qian Daoliu, they began to recount what had happened over these years.
Listening to their account, the smile on Qian Daoliu's face never ceased; he nodded frequently, looking at Qian Renxue and Ye Xi with admiring eyes.
Meanwhile, Golden Crocodile, looking at Tian Yue before him, similarly revealed a happy expression.
"Grandfather, when I left, I was only a Spirit Grandmaster, but I am a Spirit Ancestor now; my cultivation speed isn't slow, right?"
Tian Yue proudly patted her chest, her voice full of laughter.
"Hmm, Tian Yue, your current cultivation speed is already among the best of your peers."
Golden Crocodile patted Tian Yue's shoulder with gratification, not stingy with his praise at all.
After Tian Yue giggled, she sat down beside Golden Crocodile and recounted her experiences over the years, while Golden Crocodile listened quietly.
After they had all finished recounting their stories, the smiles on Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile's faces didn't stop.
"Grandfather, where is my father's tombstone? I want to go pay respects to my father."
Qian Renxue asked with a smile.
"I will take you tomorrow."
"You have just returned and have been exhausted from the long journey; rest well for a night first."
While speaking, Qian Daoliu waved his hand gently, signaling Qian Renxue not to be in a hurry.
"Tomorrow?"
"That works too; then I will go pay respects to my father tomorrow."
After Qian Renxue thought about it for a moment, she agreed directly.
Qian Daoliu, however, fixed his gaze on Ye Xi; from just a moment ago, he had detected a trace of an extremely faint divine aura on Ye Xi.
Although that divine aura was very faint, as the emissary of the Angel God, it was impossible for Qian Daoliu to have sensed it wrong.
