--- Chapter 264 ---

A month has passed.

The spirit hall's unexpected comeback against the Seven Treasure Clan and Clear Sky Clan's sudden attack was spreading at a fast pace.

On a tournament night, The clear sky clan's head attacked the spirit hall to wipe the place to dust. With the help of the seven treasure clans, they were sure to win this war.

However, The holy son instantly turned the table and wiped the opponent's force.

The two clan's heads and bone douluo quickly were executed in place.

A few [insignificant] lives also got destroyed because they dared to retaliate in front of the holy son.

The brief war also exposed a new land outside of the douluo continent, which was the mastermind of this operation.

The Grandmaster got sentenced to death because of his deep involvement with the enemy outside of the continent.

He was named the "Douluo Continent's traitor." in a matter of a day.

All of Yu Xiaogang's sinful actions revealed, from embezzling spirit hall's knowledge and spreading falsified information to the enemy.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan rejected Yu Xiaogang's connection with their clan.

They had disowned/wiped his name from the clan's record a long time ago.

"If I had a chance, I would like to execute my sinful son by myself, but I wholeheartedly agree with the holy son's quick decision."

As Yu Yuanzhen, the blue lightning tyrant dragon clan's head declared. He agreed with the spirit hall's decision and fully supported them.

Even if he was Yu Xiaogang's father, his son's action was nothing but embarrassment for the entire clan.

A few days later. Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire released an unexpected announcement. They decided to submit to the spirit hall, shocking the entire continent once again.

It was quick and unexpected, making a new empire rise on the Douluo Continent.

The Great Spirit Empire formed in a matter of days with Bibi Dong as the empress. The holy son rejected himself for being an emperor because he was too young and inexperienced.

Now people in the continent are just wondering how young the holy son was? A few people guessed that he couldn't be older than 18.

Some wild guesses also stated that he was 5, 7, 10, 12, or 15, which sparked another sensation.

"We are united here to fight the enemy, who threatened our homeland!"

The Great Spirit Empire's purpose at the moment was to defeat the Sun and Moon continent, leading to destroying some clans that had a connection with them.

A hundred and sixty-nine clans quickly were massacred in a night, sending a fear for people who dare to accept unknown wandering merchant's offers.

"For people who dare to form a connection with an outsider, a powerful soul master will be on your front door."

Of course, if you're proven innocent, the spirit master won't do anything to you.

A cruel move, but proven effective because after cleaning some clans, no one from the Sun and Moon continent dares to rise to the light so far.

They either hide somewhere or return to the Sun and Moon continent.

A war against the enemy beyond the sea has started.

--- The Great Spirit Empire ---

Inside a newly built castle, a beautiful garden secretly was concealed from anyone besides the empress.

Bibi Dong gave Yunlong a lap pillow while he was sleeping in peace.

She has a gentle smile on her face, which easily can charm weak-hearted men.

"Yunlong?" She noticed Yunlong released a yawn.

"Yes?" Yunlong responded tiredly. "How long have I been sleeping?"

"A month." Bibi Dong wryly replied, leaving Yunlong speechless.

"Eh?" Yunlong looked at her with a shocked expression.

Yes, Yunlong has been sleeping for a month because of his heavenly ruler's cause.

Even though there is no negative backlash, Yunlong would fall into a deep hibernation depending on how much he used his spiritual energy.

After using Tsukuyomi on Yu Xiaogang, making that man suffer for almost 100.000 years old, Yunlong basically depleted his spiritual energy to zero.

'I thought [Heavenly Ruler] would only make me sleep for a week at most...' Yunlong sighed and slowly hugged Bibi Dong's waist.

"Sorry." He muttered.

Bibi Dong chuckled and gently returned, "For what?"

"You didn't do anything wrong." She added while caressing his silver hair.

Yunlong grumbled in silence, making Bibi dong chuckle even more.

"Hmm, maybe you're a little wrong for making me this lonely~."

Bibi Dong suddenly lowered her head and kissed Yunlong passionately.

Yunlong slowly accepted her lips without any worry and melted into her embrace.

They parted a few minutes later, leaving some sweetness on each other's lips.

"This garden actually was built for you." Bibi Dong naturally ruffled Yunlong's hair.

"We planted over a thousand rare spiritual herbs, making spiritual energy extremely potent here."

"Well, It's Gu Yuena-." Bibi Dong shook her head because someone would cut her words off.

"YEAH, IT'S MY IDEA!" Gu Yuena suddenly appeared with an annoyed expression.

"Morning." Yunlong casually waved his hand.

"Morning, your head," Gu Yuena was obviously angry at Yunlong.

She sneered and indifferently commented, "I've never seen humans who used their spiritual energy to nil. Your spiritual sea is so dry that it looks like a barren land."

"If I don't initiate this garden, you probably would die for being too dry."

"That's what she said..." Yunlong whispered silently.

"What did you say?" Gu Yueana grumbled while standing in front of him. She glared intently with silverish color in her fingertips.

"Nothing." Yunlong quickly dodged her gaze while diving into Bibi Dong's lap pillow.

"Fufu~ Well, don't be too angry." Bibi Dong stopped Gu Yuena's fingers. "It's good that Yunlong recovered perfectly, right?"

"Hmph." Gu Yuena responded coldly.

'What a cute dragon king.' Bibi Dong thought.

She knew Gu Yuena was not actually mad at Yunlong, so it's just pure concern but with a different expression.

Gu Yuena is afraid to lose her biggest hope.

Yunlong had explained everything about Gu Yuena, from who and what she was. Bibi Dong was surprised when he told her about the Silver Dragon King's past but could only giggle for some reason.

It's her beloved son's antics because he has always surprised her since he was small.

Anyway, Bibi Dong got used to Yunlong's surprise already.

"Master, you finally awake." A white cotton ball flew past Gu Yuena and landed on Yunlong's back.

"Yuri, you became smaller?" Yunlong tilted his head when grabbing the white fox.

"Don't underestimate my small body! I might be small, but I'm stronger!" Yuri complained while shaking her cotton-like body.

"Oh, the cat that experienced bloodline awakening a week ago." Gu Yuena stated sharply.

"Grrr... I'm not a cat, nyaa!" Yuri bared her cute little fangs against Gu Yuena.

Yunlong chuckled warmly and looked at them with such a gentle gaze.

The three of them were mesmerized by his looks for a moment before regaining their composure quickly.

"By the way, where is everyone else?" Yunlong snapped them back to reality.

Bibi Dong cleared her throat and answered, "Qian Renxue back to her trials, but she left something for you."

She took out a palm-sized bizarre object.

It has a triangular body with blue-crystal color, seemingly carved from sapphire. A constant blue sapphire light bursts out with the strange energy fluctuations coming from it.

There are so many waves like lines that seem alive rather than carved on the blue triangle, pulsing with gentle blue light.

Gu Yuena, who immediately sensed this familiar aura, mumbled, "Sea God."

"Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud," Yunlong commented while grabbing the treasure he should bring to Sea God's island.

It was a simple contact, but a golden-trident symbol instantly triggered, revealing itself on Yunlong's forehead.

Yunlong dragged into a white-clear space with a floor of the calm sea surface. A familiar-looking man appeared in front of him.

"You finally found it, huh." Sea God grinned, which left Yunlong's mouth twitching slightly.

"Yes." Yunlong sighed.

Sea God frowned and asked, "You didn't seem to look happy?"

Yunlong shook his head and returned, "So, what do you want?"

"Hmm?" Sea God tilted his head. "I thought you already knew what I was about to ask?"

"Is this about me becoming your successor?" Yunlong stated, to which Sea God responded with a nod.

"I'm Asura God-."

"He agreed." Sea God lashed with a chuckle. "After I negotiate with him, he agrees to make you our successor."

"What can I say? We are buddies, after all." He playfully continued, which left Yulong mute for a second.

[Host, Calm Down]

"I am calm, Neo..." Yunlong smiled while stretching his neck slightly. "You do know that one cannot bear two god positions, right?"

"We know, and that's the reason why Dragon God went mad." Sea God solemnly answered.

He raised his finger and added, "However, if you gain a perfect harmony, that won't happen."

"Are you seriously just asking a young teen to accomplish such a thing?" Yunlong reminded Sea God that he was only a kid.

"I thought you would do anything? I still remember what you said when you fought Asura."

"Do you know the price you must pay?"

"Everything, right?"

"Fine," Yunlong replied.

"Good, Good. That is how youth should be, full of ambition and dare to take a risk." Sea God chuckled and slapped Yunlong's shoulder a little.

[SeaGod's Unexpected Wish Quest has changed]

[SeaGod's Unexpected Wish > SeaGod's Trials]

[1st Objective: Reach Sea God's island]

[Reward: Unknown]

"Ah, I see that you haven't used my divine technique. Even if you can use it to full potential, at least practice the basics."

"I mastered some of it already." Yunlong slightly sneered in the corner of his mouth.

"I see you mastered it already... Wait, what?"

Yunlong sighed and created a wooden spear made of his imagination. This space is just a temporal illusion, so he could slightly manipulate it with innate sharingan ability.

Poof!

A clone instantly was created with a simple hand sign from Yunlong.

"Hmm? Sea God looked at the clone.

Yunlong breathed and forced the wooden spear a little forward, creating a thrusting force, but abruptly changed because he weirdly twisted the handle.

"Unfixed Storm." Sea God's eyes widened because this young man applied the first technique perfectly, albeit didn't use any spear intent or a single bit of energy.

As Yunlong moved forward to his clone, the spear's strange movement restrained the clone's body, making him couldn't move.

Bam!

The clone countered a few seconds later with a burst of sword intent. The clone made a sword appear and slowly entered a familiar stance to Sea God.

"Oy, Oy, Oy... Are you kidding me?" Sea God couldn't hold his excitement. "The Asura Extreme Sword. He also mastered it!?"

"No, I didn't," Yunlong replied calmly. "AsuraGod hasn't given me the complete technique."

"Third Verse." The clone slowly slashed the water surface and spun the blade toward Yunlong. "Hell."

The water surface was separated in half, causing the sword's energy to fly across quickly with a great force.

SWOOSH!

Yunlong fixed the wooden spear in front of his chest and clenched his grip more. "Fourth Form: Ocean Burial."

Yunlong slashed horizontally, and a water-like curtain was created, making the sword energy reflected over the sky.

BOOM!

The sword energy wasn't that strong.

Still, because it was a compressed sword intent, the force itself was enough to kill a group of spirit kings.

A ripple spread over the entire space, and Sea God clapped his hand in admiration. "Truly a monster, who's befitting our seats."

"How did you learn it so quickly, though?" He questioned with great interest.

Yunlong's mind wondered when he abused Sharingan's observation ability and Shadow Clones. He made at least five digits of shadow clones to master these moves.

"I'm just trying my best," Yunlong answered without revealing too much.

"Your best, huh." Sea God glanced at Yunlong's eyes.

He smiled and added, "Find my descendant, and they will help you."

Yunlong nodded and disappeared from the space. Then, just a second later, Asura God appeared and landed on the water surface.

"You sure are cold to your successor." Sea God chuckled while looking at the calm sea. "But why didn't you give him the full technique? It's quite shocking to me that he has mastered three moves already."

"He mastered four because that's the boundary I gave to him." Asura God quietly replied.

"I've known my technique better than anyone else, so giving him more would create a mess for him."

"Also, if I gave the whole technique, he would use it too often."

"What made you so sure? He can use my technique too, you know." Sea God furrowed his eyebrow.

"I'm stronger than you, and it is not balanced for him." Asura God casually stated, which left Sea God's mouth hanging.

"Woah... The disrespect." Sea God couldn't help but want to send a fist on Asura God's perfect face.

"Am I wrong?" Asura God smirked.

"Hmph, let's have a rematch on the way to the god realm." Sea God declared bravely.

"Sure, sure." Asura God nodded naturally. "We have a few more years to reach that part of the universe after all."

They are back to starry space, where some planets stayed around in silence. "Hmm?" Asura God frowned because his divine sense seemed to perceive something weird.

ROAR!

ROAR!

ROAR!

A group of flying beasts swiftly approached them from afar. "I've never seen these creatures in my life." He commented.

It's a green-skinned beast with bat-like wings but a serpent-like body. They don't release any energy for some reason, but a black aura seems to radiate from their bodies.

This horde of beasts approached the nearest planet and reduced it to debris instantly.

"There are 1 million of them." Asura God grabbed a crimson sword out of thin space.

Sea God shook his head and moved away from his friend because he was about to wipe these beasts.

"Don't destroy the other planets." Sea God commented because even if these planets are inhabited, they have their own merits in the future.

Asura God drew his sword and slashed forward, creating a complex formation of crimson lights. They intertwined and swept over the beast horde.

.

.

It was silent because the ruckus disappeared in an instant.

"These beasts are quite strong, maybe around wild god's level?" Asura God made his sword disappear.

He lightly stepped and approached Sea God. "Let's go." He said.

Sea God shrugged and followed his friend, not realizing those beasts were the invader they talked about from another universe.

A far away from Sea God and Asura God's location, an ark with the shape of V floated in dark space without a single spark of light.

"A small legion was annihilated..."

A pair of green eyes opened, and another voice echoed.

"Send group 6 to investigate that coordinate."

When the last voice echoed, a floating imaginary hologram appeared. "Divine Realm."

"Just a little more, just a little bit more."

"I'll take all of them."

--- Douluo Planet ---

Yunlong went back to reality and saw Gu Yuena staring at him weirdly. "What?" He asked.

"Did he call you?" Gu Yuena questioned, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.

"Tch." Gu Yuena clicked her tongue in annoyance. "Those old geezers."

'Yunlong, I need your help.' Kaguya's voice entered Yunlong's ears.

'The souls, they are fully awake now.'

"Oh?" Yunlong's eyes brightened.

"I'll be there in a sec."
