Yan's figure gradually appeared after the dazzling light of the Fire God Sword dissipated.
The surviving soul masters around all cast grateful and reverent gazes toward him. If Yan hadn't destroyed Bibi Dong's Death Domain in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Brother Yan, are you alright?"
Shui Bing'er stepped forward and asked with concern.
The earlier scene had left her with lingering fear.
Yan slightly shook his head, the corners of his lips lifting into a faint smile.
"I'm fine, just temporarily drained of soul power. I'll be fine after some rest."
Ye Lingling also expressed concern:
"Brother Yan, let me help you recover your soul power."
"No need. I have divine power protecting my body. I'll recover quickly. Bibi Dong and Tang San are dead, the greatest threat is gone. Save your soul power for healing the wounded."
"Alright."
Ye Lingling nodded, then slowly raised her hands. The Ten-heart Begonia Martial Soul instantly bloomed in her palms, releasing a gentle yet powerful life force that quickly spread.
As she fully unleashed her soul power, a warm and radiant platinum light surged from her body, like the first light of dawn, softly enveloping the entire battlefield.
Bathed in this light, the wounded soul masters showed expressions of surprise and gratitude.
Their wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, damaged meridians were restored, and even their exhausted bodies seemed revitalized.
For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with vitality.
"So this is the power of the Ten-heart Begonia? It's truly amazing!"
The soul masters couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
In such a large-scale battle, having a healing-type soul master like her was incredibly important and fortunate.
Yan approached Yue Guan and asked with concern:
"Teacher, have your injuries healed?"
"Yes, I'm fine now. Lingling girl's healing ability is truly extraordinary."
"I'm glad you're alright."
Yue Guan sighed softly:
"Good thing Nana and Xie Yue didn't come along this time. Otherwise, seeing her teacher in such a state..."
Yan understood what Yue Guan meant.
Bibi Dong was ruthless, but she cared deeply for Hu Liena.
In Hu Liena's heart, Bibi Dong was not only a respected teacher but also like a mother.
Guimei suddenly said. "Yan, don't worry too much. Chrysanthemum and I will explain everything to her."
"Alright."
When the last trace of light faded, Ye Lingling finally let out a breath of relief. Her face was slightly pale, but her eyes sparkled with contentment and comfort.
"Thank you, Lingling."
Qian Renxue stepped forward, sincerely expressing her gratitude.
Ye Lingling smiled gently and shook her head:
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do."
Qian Renxue and Yan exchanged a smile. This battle had completely destroyed the soul master forces of the Star Luo Empire, and the unification of the Douluo Continent would soon be accomplished.
Soldiers began cleaning the battlefield.
The towering mountains and sturdy city walls were completely destroyed in this battle. The massive trench in front of the city was filled with rubble. From now on, there would be no more Tianqie Pass.
Late at night, inside the military tent.
Shui Bing'er nestled in Yan's arms.
There were no more enemies on the Douluo Continent. Yan felt more relaxed than ever.
"Brother Yan, it's all my fault today. I didn't protect Lingling well. If it weren't for Elder Yue and Elder Gui's timely rescue, she would have almost fallen to Bibi Dong's schemes."
"It's not your fault. Lingling has heaven's protection. Bibi Dong's plot was doomed to fail."
"Brother Yan, Lingling has liked you for a long time. Did you notice?"
Yan lightly nodded.
Though Ye Lingling was not good with words, her feelings were clear to Yan.
"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"Brother Yan, I know you also have feelings for Lingling. And Qian Renxue she seems to like you too. If you feel the same, I won't mind..."
Yan affectionately pinched Shui Bing'er's cheek and joked:
"What? Do you feel lonely being my wife and want to find two concubines for me?"
"Aiya, Brother Yan..."
"No matter what, you'll always be the main wife, Lingling will be second, and Qian Renxue the third."
Shui Bing'er pouted with a smile.
"Qian Renxue is the Empress and older than both of us. Will she accept being the third?"
"If she doesn't want to, then forget it."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. By the way, how is your Fire God Sword so powerful? Even Tang San and Bibi Dong's divine weapons couldn't match it."
"Remember the Whale Pearls I told you about?"
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's?"
"Yes. I used both Whale Pearls to forge divine weapons. One was fused into the Fire God Sword, and the other into my armor."
"I see."
Looking at Shui Bing'er's rosy face, Yan gave a devilish smile.
"The Fire God Sword isn't my only strong point."
Realizing Yan's intent, Shui Bing'er's face instantly turned red to the ears.
"Again... Looks like I really need to find you some concubines soon... No, I'm going to call Lingling!"
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Two months later, the Douluo Continent was completely unified.
After finishing the transition affairs of the empire, Yan accompanied Qian Renxue back to Spirit City.
Qian Renxue continued her Angel God Trail.
Yan had rendered outstanding service in unifying the Douluo Continent and played an irreplaceable role.
Inside the Douluo Hall, Yan's statue stood tall, honored as the God of War of Spirit Hall.
The sky was clear and a gentle breeze blew.
Yan stood in the square in front of the Pope's Palace, recalling everything from the past, and couldn't help but sigh at how quickly it all went by.
"Brother Yan."
Yan turned around and saw that it was Xie Yue.
Years had passed since they last met, but Hu Liena was not with him.
"Brother Yan, I heard everything that happened on the battlefield from the two elders. Nana has left Spirit Hall, saying she wants to travel and clear her mind. She also said that the Pope's death isn't your fault, and you shouldn't take it to heart."
"Bibi Dong might have only truly cared about Nana. Though Bibi Dong brought it upon herself, Nana will still be sad."
"Don't worry, she'll be fine. I'll go look for her soon. Now that peace has finally come to the Douluo Continent, I should go out and see the world too."
Yan patted Xie Yue's shoulder and chatted with him for a long time, just like in the past.
Shui Bing'er, Ye Lingling, and Qian Renxue all continued with their respective God Trail.
The Spirit Empire had just completed the unification of the Douluo Continent, and someone needed to manage it.
Yan was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
After sitting on the empire's throne for a year, Yan also began his ninth trial and once again entered the Fire God's Secret Realm.
This ninth trial was the inheritance of the Fire God's Will. Yan wasn't in a rush to pass.
"Lord Fire God, the armor you gave me seems to have some problems."
"What kind of problems?"
"I feel like it's a bit earthy and rustic."
The Fire God let out a chuckle.
"Oh? You've already noticed? That's right, it does contain the power of the Earth God."
"As I thought."
Yan's Flame Lord Martial Soul was originally of fire and earth dual attributes. With both the Fire God and Earth God involved, that old man Poseidon wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble.
"So, are you ready to inherit the God Position?"
"No rush. Lady Water God's inheritor hasn't even reached the seventh trial yet. Surely, you can't just leave your lover behind, can you?"
"Good! Good! Good! It's time to make things a little harder for you, you brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
Next, during Yan's challenge of the Fire God's ninth trial, he also received the test of the Earth God.
Barring any surprises, he would possess the dual God Positions of Fire and Earth.
Time flew by.
Qian Renxue finally completed the eighth trial of the Angel God.
However, she wasn't happy at all.
To help his granddaughter become a god sooner, Qian Daoliu had sacrificed himself without hesitation.
The moonlight bathed the earth in a layer of silver.
Before Yan, Qian Renxue couldn't help but show her vulnerable side.
"It's all my fault. I killed Grandpa. If I had known he would die, I'd rather not have the God Position."
Yan pulled Qian Renxue into his embrace, letting her cry freely on his shoulder.
"Fool, you were your grandfather's pride. He was prepared long ago to give everything for you, including his life. I believe, he hasn't truly died he's just staying by your side in another form."
"But I can never see him again. I've lost my only family, wuwu~~"
Yan gently stroked Qian Renxue's soft hair and joked:
"If you don't mind being my little wife, wouldn't that make me your family?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? I'm the dignified Empress, the successor to the Angel God. How could I be your mistress?"
"If you're not willing, then forget it. It's a pity though your Six-Winged Angel is a divine-level Martial Soul.Spirit Hall and the vast Spirit Empire don't even have a successor. The legacy of the Six-Winged Angel might just die out."
"No! It must not! I—I'm willing."
"That's more like it. When we have a little cub, we'll let Teacher and Elder Gui raise him. With how outstanding we both are, he'll definitely grow up to be a peerless genius."
"Who wants to have a cub with you? Shameless!"
Qian Renxue's face turned completely red.
Looking at her angry yet flustered expression, Yan couldn't help but lower his head.
That night, Qian Renxue became a real woman.
The ninth trial of the Angel God would test Qian Renxue's desires. In a way, Yan helped her in advance.
Several years later.
Yan not only inherited the dual God Positions of Fire and Earth, but also advanced further on the foundation of the Fire God, becoming the supreme Flame God. He created the Burning Heaven Refinement Domain and ascended as a God King.
Shui Bing'er successfully inherited the position of the Water God.
Qian Renxue inherited the Angel God Position.
Ye Lingling inherited the God Position of the Goddess of Healing, subordinate to the Goddess of Life.
Inside the Douluo Hall.
An old man and a young boy stood before the enormous statue holding the Fire God Sword.
The six-year-old boy, with eyes like torches, made an arrogant vow.
"Grandmaster, I will definitely surpass my dad in the future. I'll become the strongest person in this world!"
Yue Guan fondly patted the little boy's head and smiled:
"Good. You've awakened the dual Martial Souls of Six-Winged Angel and Flame Lord, and have innate full soul power at level twenty. Your starting point is already higher than your father's. Work hard. I believe in you."
The End
