Chapter 64: The Troubles of Soul Mutation
Tiandou City, Dugu Mansion.
Mu Ci had discussed with Qian Renxue for a long time in the Prince's Mansion.
No matter how bright the future Mu Ci envisioned, they now needed to take every step down to earth.
Going to the palace to meet Emperor Xue Ye was the beginning of subverting the empire.
In fact, the idea of becoming a god that Mu Ci finally told Qian Renxue was not just a casual remark. He had thought about the feasibility of this matter.
How many people were there in Douluo Continent when the first generation of Angel God became a god?
Under the checks and balances of the Spirit Hall, after thousands of years of development, the current population was at least ten times larger than it was back then.
The faith generated by so many people, even if it was only a fraction of it, was enough to create another first-level god.
When the time came, the angel and the godhood would be combined into one. He dared not say whether she would become the God King, but a quasi-God King would definitely be a certainty.
Given the hatred between Mu Ci and the Clear Sky Sect, the sect must be destroyed.
This meant that he would inevitably confront Tang Hao. According to this logic, Tang San would definitely be a future enemy.
When facing the Shura God King who might appear behind Tang San, the more gods he had on his side, the greater his chances of winning would be.
After all, he still didn't know what level of combat power the Destiny Envoy of the Douluo Universe could reach.
It was also uncertain whether Shura's appearance would attract the attention of other gods.
However, according to Mu Ci's speculation about the ninth-level practitioners, Lingshi should be comparable to the God King in terms of realm, and even better in combat power, perhaps stronger than the Golden Dragon King?
But even so, it was still a bit unsafe to fight one against five.
When making plans, he prepared for the worst.
Just in case, he still had to take some preventive measures in advance to prevent some people from taking desperate measures.
All this was just a precautionary measure.
Thinking of this, Mu Ci looked up at the dark sky where some stars were already visible and muttered to himself.
"Unfortunately, the Douluo Universe is too far away from the Imaginary Number Tree, and the might of the Star Gods cannot be projected here.
Otherwise, if Sister Xue continues to follow my idea unwaveringly, she might even get a glance from Emperor Gong."
Mu Ci walked slowly into the yard.
Dugu Yan, who had just returned from Tiandou Royal Academy, rushed up as soon as she saw the person coming and hung on Mu Ci's body.
Dugu Yan looked at her beloved in front of her, pouted her red lips, and said, "A Ci, I haven't seen you for several days. Do you miss me?"
"Of course I did."
Mu Ci hugged Dugu Yan's slender waist and kissed her slightly dissatisfied face with a smile.
"Where is Grandpa Dugu? Is he home?"
Dugu Yan nodded obediently and got off Mu Ci's body.
They entered the house.
Dugu Bo sat on the sofa and looked at Mu Ci with a smile on his face as Dugu Yan hugged his arm.
Seeing the two of them sitting down, he spoke.
"Xiao Ci, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to see you about?"
"It's because of Emperor Xue Ye's health problems these past few days. I promised to go with him to the palace tomorrow to treat Xue Ye."
When Dugu Bo heard this answer, he looked as if he had guessed it a long time ago.
"As expected, Xue Xing also sent someone to find me today to discuss this matter with me, but I don't know how to treat illnesses, so I declined."
"Xiao Ci, have you decided to stand on Xue Qinghe's side?"
When Mu Ci heard Dugu Bo's next question, he looked at him strangely.
"Why do you say that, Grandpa Dugu? Xue Qinghe is the crown prince, the future emperor. If we have to take sides, then of course we have to stand on his side."
"Grandpa Dugu, do you have a different suggestion? Or do you think Xue Beng is more suitable for that position than Xue Qinghe?"
Dugu Bo shook his head decisively.
"That's not the case. Although I'm not particularly interested in who will be the emperor, if I had to choose between Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng, I would choose Xue Qinghe."
"It's just that Xiao Ci, Xue Xing and Xue Beng, the uncle and nephew, are not as bad as the rumors say!"
Dugu Bo did not explicitly say that the uncle and nephew actually had some desire for the throne.
Mu Ci nodded at Dugu Bo's statement without commenting.
"Grandpa Dugu, without the support of the powerful behind you, no matter how deep your schemes are, they will be in vain."
"But judging by what Grandpa said, you must be dwelling on the favor you owe Xue Xing."
Dugu Bo sighed, confirming Mu Ci's answer.
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
Dugu Bo actually didn't particularly care about that favor, as he was a person with a strange temperament.
Although he really valued his promises, if that day ever came, he would definitely stand next to his grandson-in-law.
But now Xue Xing had no intention in this regard, so Dugu Bo would just pretend that he didn't exist. Maybe one day he would use up the favor and wouldn't have to care about their affairs anymore.
Dugu Yan watched the two people finish their conversation and looked at Mu Ci a little embarrassedly.
"A Ci?"
"What's wrong, Yan Yan?"
Mu Ci and Dugu Bo also looked over because of Dugu Yan's words.
"It's like this. These past few days at the academy, I've been telling everyone about my appearance by saying I've completely detoxified and returned to my original appearance. I haven't told anyone about my Spirit."
"But today we had a team Spirit battle, so I inevitably revealed my mutated Spirit in front of everyone. Everyone is very curious about this matter."
"Lingling, in particular, has reacted strongly to this matter. We all know about the Nine-Hearted Begonia incident, so I want to ask you, can Lingling's problem be resolved?"
Mu Ci frowned when he heard this and began to think about the information revealed in Dugu Yan's words.
Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan held their breath, fearing that they would disturb Mu Ci.
After a while, Dugu Yan said weakly, "A Ci, is Lingling's problem difficult to solve?"
Mu Ci suddenly came back to his senses and smiled at Dugu Yan.
"Ah, no, it's not because of Ye Lingling's problem. Her Spirit problem is actually similar to yours. It's not something that is difficult to solve."
"I'm thinking about the turmoil caused by the acquired mutation of the Spirit."
Hearing Mu Ci's answer, Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and was sincerely happy for her little sister.
But Dugu Bo, who was sitting opposite, frowned just like Mu Ci just now.
"Xiao Ci, are you saying that Yan Yan's Spirit mutation will attract the covetousness of many forces?"
Mu Ci nodded and responded to Dugu Bo's question.
After being happy for a while, Dugu Yan was brought back to reality by Dugu Bo's words.
"Such a major event will definitely attract attention, especially from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. They have been brooding over the matter of their own Spirit for many years, so it's impossible for them not to be curious about the secrets contained therein."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's pupils straightened, and all his aura burst out.
"How dare they! If they dare to touch a hair on Yan Yan's head, I will kill only those two old men from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. It just so happens that I have nowhere to test the power of my Jade Phosphor Poison."
"Doesn't that old bone claim to be the best defensive Spirit Master on the continent? I want to see if he can withstand my current poison."
Mu Ci looked at the furious Dugu Bo with some helplessness.
"Grandpa Dugu, if you do this, won't others be even more curious about the secret?"
"It's better to open up this matter than to block it. Just like the Spirit rings and whale glue, if you publicize it, people won't be curious anymore."
Dugu Bo was no longer angry and looked at Mu Ci together with Dugu Yan.
"So what do we do?"
Mu Ci didn't explain it to them in detail.
"I'll talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this tomorrow. Ning Fengzhi is his teacher, and we'll need his help with the specific operations later on."
Mu Ci looked at Dugu Yan's worried expression again and touched her pretty face.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Nothing will happen as long as I'm here."
