It had to be said that beings related to plants were all naturally tender and moist.
As the Goddess of Life, whose true form was the Ancient Tree of Life, the sweet dew Qing Xuan contained far surpassed any spiritual spring in the world.
A glimpse of this could be seen from the Ancient Tree of Life outside. Its branches extended to the sky, and every leaf shimmered with the luster of life, as if it could drip with the ambrosia that nourished all things.
Putting away the red cloth.
Qing Xuan and Lin Feng, who had walked out of the room, strolled hand in hand through the early morning of the Divine Realm. Sunlight filtered through the gauze-like clouds, casting mottled shadows.
Qing Xuan's face was overflowing with a happy and contented smile, while Lin Feng looked at her with a doting expression, occasionally lowering his head to whisper in her ear, making Qing Xuan laugh shyly. Their hearts were closer than ever at this moment, as if the entire world consisted only of each other.
Seven days later, the women, who had specially agreed to let Lin Feng be with Qing Xuan for a few days, finally couldn't hold back. With Qian Renxue's first sneak attack, a tacit understanding quietly flowed between them.
Gu Yuena was even more direct, using her divine power to activate the power of the Divine Realm's core, expanding the Life God's Temple several times over and moving everyone's temples here.
Divine Realm Core.
"How was your private world with Qing Xuan, Xiao Feng?" Gu Yuena teased, a cunning light in her eyes.
In a few quick steps, she came directly to Lin Feng's side, her slender, jade-like finger tapping his chest. "Looking at your radiant face, it seems you had a very nourishing time?
Well, come to think of it, I heard that the Ancient Tree of Life has become even more vibrant and moist, right?"
Lin Feng grasped her fingertip and smiled faintly. "Jealous?"
"Me? Pfft." Gu Yuena blinked, pretending to be angry and lightly tapping Lin Feng. "What nonsense are you talking about? Compared to me, I think you should be paying more attention to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. They seem to be plotting something recently. Don't say I didn't warn you."
"Plotting?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.
"Let's go. Accompany me to check the current structure of the Divine Realm."
Without waiting for him to think it over, Gu Yuena pulled him and teleported high above the Divine Realm's core.
This was a magnificent and spectacular aerial temple, with towering pavilions, the core of the Divine Realm's center. It was shrouded in clouds and mist, with colorful lights intertwining, like a dreamlike fairyland.
In the very center was a dazzling crystal palace, standing majestically and emitting a soft and mysterious light. Every side of the palace was made of transparent crystal, reflecting thousands of colors under the sunlight, breathtakingly beautiful.
Countless fine runes flowed on its surface. These runes intertwined to form complex patterns, recording the laws and powers of the Divine Realm.
Above it were nine colored rings, layered upon each other, connecting to the sky.
Lin Feng and Gu Yuena walked into the crystal palace. In the center was a circular platform resembling an altar, built of an unknown white stone, its surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the brilliant light around it.
Nine dragon-shaped sculptures surrounded the altar. They were in various forms, some soaring through the clouds, others churning the rivers and seas.
The mouths of the nine dragons all faced inwards towards the center of the altar, where there was a mysterious object resembling a mechanism. This mechanism had a peculiar shape, like a wheel, a gear, and a lock, its surface shimmering with a faint blue light.
Having already become the Dragon God, Gu Yuena did not need a key to mobilize the power of the Divine Realm's core.
She gently raised her hand, and a majestic dragon power surged from her body, transforming into a stream of light that accurately injected into the mechanism.
A golden pillar of light then rose into the air from the center of the mechanism.
"Look with me."
Gu Yuena said, and with a gentle wave of her arm, the golden pillar of light seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and came before Lin Feng and her.
Then, she closed her eyes to examine the information within.
Lin Feng, however, only needed to immerse his mind in the pillar of light for a few moments to browse through all the content.
From the underlying structure and laws of the Divine Realm, to the distribution of power and network of relationships among the gods, and so on.
Gu Yuena opened her eyes and looked at Lin Feng beside her. "Well, any thoughts?"
Lin Feng rubbed his chin. "It seems you want to proceed with the ascension of the Divine Realm?"
Gu Yuena nodded. "That's right. The Douluo Divine Realm has long had the strength to be promoted to a God Star, but it lacked an existence that surpassed the God-King to lead the way.
Just because the previous Dragon God couldn't endure it doesn't mean we can't. Now, I have become the Dragon God, and my strength is even a step further than my father's. We are fully qualified and capable of trying to ascend the Douluo Divine Realm to a God Star."
Lin Feng nodded. "In fact, whether it's the Douluo Star, the Divine Realm, or a God Star, they are all just planes.
However, the level of a plane is different. The level of life energy, or rather, the level of life, determines the level of a plane.
Just like the Divine Realm, the gods absorb the immortal spiritual energy in the Divine Realm and transform it into divine power for cultivation.
This is no different from the living beings on the Douluo Star who absorb the origin energy of heaven and earth and transform it into soul power for cultivation.
Immortal spiritual energy is just a higher level of cosmic energy.
For a plane to ascend, the level of its essential life energy must be raised. On this basis, there must be a pioneer who breaks the existing shackles and leads the plane's ascension.
This existence must not only possess power that surpasses the limits of the current plane, but also have a deep understanding and control of the laws of life and the universe, in order to lead the plane to complete this qualitative leap.
The Dragon God of the past had such qualifications and had tried, but he was one step short. Now, that may not be the case."
Lin Feng sensed the current state of the Divine Realm and continued, "Compared to the era of the first Dragon God, the number of god seats in this Divine Realm has only decreased, not increased."
The reason was easy to explain.
Ever since the Divine Realm restricted the soul beast race from becoming gods and strictly controlled their numbers, the god seats in the Divine Realm gradually became scarce.
The god seats of the beast race were permanently sealed by the core.
And for the human race to produce a god and add a god seat to the Divine Realm's core, it would take a long period of time.
So much so that many of the current gods are still the original gods, and many are even innate beings, not ascended from the planes subordinate to the Divine Realm.
In addition, one or two gods from this Divine Realm would run off from time to time, and one or two would accidentally perish for various reasons, so the number of god seats naturally decreased.
This situation, while ensuring the stability of the Divine Realm, also limited its development potential.
Rong Nianbing, a wanderer of the universe, came to the Douluo Divine Realm and was valued by the two great God-Kings of Kindness and Evil for his god seat. Didn't they insist on having him help pass down the god seat?
Gu Yuena nodded. "That's right. However, the god seats of the beast race have now been unsealed, and the restrictions of heaven and earth have also been lifted.
The subordinate planes have been transformed by you and are sufficient to bear the birth of god-level experts. Before long, the Douluo Divine Realm will welcome a new wave of emerging gods.
Those experts who have cultivated to the extreme in the subordinate planes will have the opportunity to break through their constraints and ascend to the Divine Realm, injecting new vitality into it. At that time, it will be the opportunity I told you about to ascend to a God Star."
Lin Feng nodded in agreement.
"I will take action then."
Lin Feng stretched out his hand, and a ball of Chaos Power condensed in his palm. The power surged, as if containing the might to create the world.
"Before that, I still need to increase my strength."
He sent the Chaos Power to Gu Yuena, who took it with a smile and looked at Lin Feng.
"However, I prefer to personally suck it out myself."
A soundproof formation that isolated all sound was quietly set up by her, enveloping this space. Gu Yuena's eyes sparkled with a cunning and provocative light. She smiled lightly, her smile full of challenge and temptation towards Lin Feng.
"Oh? Then I'd like to see how you're going to suck it out." A playful smile appeared on the corner of Lin Feng's lips. He naturally understood Gu Yuena's meaning. This sudden "contest" was nothing more than adding a bit of fun to their cultivation.
Gu Yuena chuckled lightly and smeared a trace of Chaos Power on Lin Feng's lips. "Do you still remember the effect of my dragon's saliva?
Since I ascended to Dragon God, I haven't tried it yet. I wonder if I can still affect you with your current cultivation level?"
Lin Feng felt the dragon's saliva aura contained in the Chaos Power on his lips, and his heart couldn't help but stir.
He certainly remembered how Gu Yuena's dragon's saliva had affected him in the past. The craving and heat that surged from the depths of his soul had almost made him lose control.
But now, his cultivation was far from what it used to be. The Chaos Power flowed within his body, easily enveloping the power of the dragon's saliva, preventing it from erupting immediately.
A smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Looking at Gu Yuena's provocative gaze, an impulse to counterattack rose in his heart.
The next moment, he released his suppression of the dragon's saliva.
That heat and craving surged up in his heart once more.
Lin Feng turned around and pulled Gu Yuena into his arms. The distance between them closed in an instant, and their breaths intertwined.
"Then I'd like to see if your methods are superior, or if my self-control is stronger."
Before his words had finished, Gu Yuena had already launched an attack. Her Dragon God power transformed into streams of light, striking at Lin Feng. The extreme destructive power turned their clothes to ash.
Lin Feng, however, was in no hurry. The Chaos Power surged in his palm, easily dissolving Gu Yuena's attack, and he counterattacked in the same motion.
The two engaged in a fierce battle within the soundproof formation.
Their powers "collided" with each other, stimulating even stronger energy fluctuations, making the spiritual energy within the entire formation even denser.
Gu Yuena's Dragon God power was turbulent, like a violent storm, attacking Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng could always easily dissolve it with his Chaos Power, as if the Chaos Power were a part of his body, changing at will, infinitely variable.
When he counterattacked, the Chaos Power transformed into giant dragons that coiled around Gu Yuena's figure, attempting to bind her.
However, Gu Yuena chuckled lightly. Her Dragon God power erupted, instantly breaking free from the dragons' restraints. She leaped back and pressed Lin Feng down beneath her.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together, their breaths intertwined.
Gu Yuena's eyes shone with a fiery light. She whispered in Lin Feng's ear, "Xiao Feng, you can't escape. My dragon's saliva, my power, will make you sink."
The greedy Silver Dragon King continuously flew up and down, pure white and fiery hot energy constantly overflowing from between them.
It drenched Lin Feng, making him so hot that he had to focus even more to cope with the difficulty.
Gu Yuena's attacks grew more and more fierce. Her Dragon God power seemed endless, wave after wave surging towards Lin Feng. The two white energy waves with red tips were constantly impacting Lin Feng's mind.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together. Every collision of power stimulated an even more brilliant light. The spiritual energy within the entire soundproof formation seemed to have been ignited, becoming abnormally violent.
Gu Yuena's eyes shone with excitement. She felt Lin Feng's tenacious resistance, which further stimulated her fighting spirit.
She chuckled lightly, and her Dragon God power erupted again, continuously devouring the energy Lin Feng sent out. As if in provocation, she licked the corner of her lips with a flushed face and let out a burp.
With a charming laugh, her Dragon God power surged again, transforming into vortexes that pulled Lin Feng in. Lin Feng only felt a powerful force tightly binding him, making his heart tighten. His weapon almost slipped out, to be taken by Gu Yuena.
"Hmph!"
Lin Feng looked at the triumphant Gu Yuena on top of him, slightly annoyed. He no longer held back, and his Chaos Power erupted completely, wave after wave striking at Gu Yuena.
"Mmm!!!"
Gu Yuena's willow-like brows furrowed slightly.
As if in pain.
As if moaning in pleasure.
Her body was bent into an exaggerated arc by the impact of the Chaos Power. Her head was thrown back, her fine hair spread out, and her chest heaved.
A few days later, Lin Feng, who had walked out of the Divine Realm's core, was about to go to the God Forbidden Land to check on the restriction where the Golden Dragon King had been before.
Just as he was about to arrive, he received a telepathic message.
"Let's meet, Lin Feng."
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, and with a flash, he appeared in a void on the outskirts of the Divine Realm.
"God of Destruction? What can I do for you?"
A bitter smile hung on the God of Destruction's face. He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. He had seen Qing Xuan's current appearance from afar, a happiness and contentment he had never seen before.
His heart was a mixture of feelings. There was a blessing for Qing Xuan, a release from his own past obsession, and a complicated emotion towards Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, I came to find you not to be your enemy, nor to disturb your life with Qing Xuan." The God of Destruction spoke slowly, his voice tinged with weariness and sincerity. "I just... have some things I want to talk to you about."
"Go ahead, what is it?" Lin Feng asked faintly.
The God of Destruction suddenly thrust his right hand into his chest and took out a ball of black energy. "This is my god seat's core. Take it, and then find a successor."
The moment this ball of black energy appeared, his aura suddenly plummeted, falling directly from the God-King realm to a First-Class God, and his aura was still unstable.
"I am leaving this universe. The past has no connection to me anymore. From now on, I am just a simple cultivator.
Help me permanently delete my memories of the Divine Realm and of Life. I know you have this ability."
"Your divine soul will be permanently missing a part, and you will never have the chance to ascend to the God-King realm in this life."
"It doesn't matter."
The God of Destruction left, very decisively. Lin Feng teleported him directly to the edge of the universe.
—
"Guess who I am?"
Lin Feng smiled and patted the hands covering his eyes. "Dong'er."
"Wrong."
Lin Feng was stunned, then a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Playing tricks, are you? Then I won't guess."
"How boring."
Bibi Dong smiled faintly and sat on Lin Feng's lap, her slender hands wrapping around his neck. "It's Dong'er and your child, so naturally, I'm not playing tricks."
A trace of pleasant surprise flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He gently held Bibi Dong's hand and placed it on his cheek. "Really? Dong'er, you're pregnant?"
Bibi Dong nodded, her smile radiant. "Yes. This time, I'm the first. I won."
