"Seeking death!" Sea God Tang San's face was extremely cold as he snorted. However, despite Zhu Ziyang's provocative actions, he only expressed himself verbally and made no move.
"Heh! Indeed!" Seeing the Sea God's reaction, Zhu Ziyang immediately confirmed his thoughts, and his attitude became even more audacious. He said, "So even Lord Sea God has something he fears, tsk tsk tsk!"
"Hmph!" Sea God Tang San's expression was very ugly. If he wasn't worried that acting would attract the attention of the gods in the God Realm, thereby exposing his unauthorized descent to the lower realm, he would have already attacked Zhu Ziyang. He would have let him know why he ascended to the God Realm, and not Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong!
Tang San was not prepared to stay in the lower realm. He knew that his goal of preventing the unification of the continent could not be achieved the moment Zhu Ziyang appeared, so there was no need for him to get entangled further. Staying in the lower realm for one more minute meant one more minute of risk of exposure. So he immediately changed his demeanor, adopting the benevolent, guiding attitude of an elder caring for a junior. He said, "Lightly starting a war, going against the general trend, losing popular support. Young man, take care of yourself!"
"Hahahaha!" Zhu Ziyang was amused by Sea God Tang San's words and let out an unhesitating sneer, saying, "You're really good at spouting grand, empty words! What 'lightly starting a war, going against the general trend'? Clearly, it's just that you yourself don't want to see the continent unified. After all, a unified Douluo Continent is not as easy to harvest faith from as a divided Douluo Continent, right?"
"Heh heh." Tang San saw his intentions exposed and sneered. His figure flickered, his gaze sweeping over the crowd and landing on Huo Yuhao. His brows furrowed slightly, but then he looked further back at Tang Wutong. He said, "Wutong, come home with Dad!"
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Tang Wutong ran out from the crowd. Her eyes showed some reluctance as she looked at Huo Yuhao, but her movements didn't stop as she flew towards Tang San.
Zhu Ziyang was a bit surprised. He really hadn't expected that Tang Wutong was actually Tang San's daughter. So, does that mean Wang Dong'er is also Tang San's daughter? Tsk tsk, how ruthless!
"Huo Yuhao, if you want to be with Wutong, then help the Star Luo Empire restore its nation. After all, you are also a descendant of Mubai." Tang San looked at Huo Yuhao, speaking with a condescending, charitable air.
When Huo Yuhao heard Tang San's words, his face was indescribably ugly. He looked even more pained than if he had eaten rat droppings. Three out of Tang San's four sentences made him feel utterly disgusted and gave him the urge to spit at him.
What did he mean, "if you want to be with Tang Wutong"? He liked Xiao Xiao, or at the very least, Wang Dong'er, not this stitched-together Tang Wutong! And what did he mean, "he is also a descendant of Mubai"? Dai Mubai? Ridiculous, his surname is Huo, what does that have to do with someone surnamed Dai? Even if there was, it would only be hatred, alright.
Huo Yuhao was speechless, while Tang San took in Huo Yuhao's reaction completely, a hint of icy anger flashing in his eyes. He couldn't deal with Zhu Ziyang, but surely he could deal with a mere youth who hadn't yet become a god? Just wait, when you reach the God Realm, you'll have a hard time!
Tang San was very confident about Tang Wutong. She was his daughter, after all, and she possessed all the qualities Huo Yuhao liked. He didn't believe Huo Yuhao could resist Tang Wutong's allure.
"I say, threatening my junior brother in front of me, and even trying to take away a student from our Shrek Academy, is Lord Sea God not that cowardly after all?" Zhu Ziyang, who had been watching the show for a long time, finally spoke. There was no way he would let Tang San take Tang Wutong. Are you kidding? Xiao Xiao's soul was still within Tang Wutong. If she went to the God Realm, wouldn't Xiao Xiao's soul be completely refined by Tang Wutong? This was absolutely unacceptable.
As he spoke, Zhu Ziyang acted. He extended the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe in his hand, conjuring a white energy hook that instantly wrapped around Tang Wutong. Then, with a forceful pull, he directly dragged Tang Wutong to his side. To prevent her from causing trouble, he immediately gave her a chop to the neck, knocking her unconscious.
Tang San was furious at Zhu Ziyang's actions, a smile even appearing on his face. Clearly, this was extreme anger, laughing out of sheer rage. He said, "Good, good, good, you are very good."
A blue-gold trident appeared in his hand. Clearly, he was preparing to fight Zhu Ziyang. At this moment, he no longer worried about his descent to the lower realm being exposed, because Zhu Ziyang had given him an excuse: Tang Wutong. A person from the lower realm bullied his daughter, and as a father, he sought justice for his daughter, violating the God Realm's laws to descend. Although the impact was not good, it was understandable, wasn't it?
After all, when Xiao Qi descended back then, all the God Kings in the God Realm had agreed! The more Tang San thought about it, the happier he became. The Sea God Trident in his hand shone even brighter. He planned to take this opportunity to directly kill Zhu Ziyang, otherwise, Zhu Ziyang's existence felt like a thorn in his throat, very uncomfortable!
Tang San was extremely confident in his own strength. No matter what, he was a chosen one who held two God Positions. Even if Zhu Ziyang was the God of Death, a God King, his Asura God was also a God King, and he had become a god ten thousand years earlier than this Zhu Ziyang. Experience was on his side, so this would be a crushing battle!
After eliminating Zhu Ziyang, this heretic, he would then conveniently deal with that new God of Fire, to prevent him from affecting his relationship with Ma Hongjun once they reached the God Realm. Yes, that's what he'd do! Tang San thought this, and his aura was no longer hidden. The divine pressure instantly permeated the entire world, causing everyone on and below the city wall to feel heavy and unable to move.
Zhu Ziyang had long been ready, his eyes sharp, prepared to engage Tang San in a great battle and drag this Sea God, who had dominated the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years, from the Douluo altar in the most undignified manner!
Both sides were ready, and war was on the verge of breaking out, but this battle ended before it even began.
Three meteors were seen flying from the direction of the Sun Moon Empire, falling directly into the sky above the Sun Moon army, behind Zhu Ziyang. The meteors' brilliance receded, revealing three exquisitely beautiful women. Behind each of them, ten spirit rings shimmered. They were all deities who had entered the God-level realm!
They were, of course, Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, and Qian Lingyi.
Upon seeing the three women appear, the Sun Moon army immediately erupted in cheers, while on Star Luo City, a pall of gray and deathly silence fell. Sea God Tang San's face was also incredibly grim. Ma Xiaotao's appearance was unexpected but within his expectations, but Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi truly broke his composure, especially Qian Lingyi's rich divine aura and golden Angel God attire.
"Why are you here?" Zhu Ziyang was also a bit surprised. He asked.
"We sensed divine force in Mingdu and guessed you might need our help, so we came." Jiang Nannan said, her eyes observing the Sea God Tang San opposite her, as if she were watching a rare and precious species.
"Is that so? Well, perfect. Let's all get acquainted with Lord Sea God together." Zhu Ziyang said with a smile, "I'm sure Lord Sea God would be very willing."
"Oh, yes, yes, I've admired Lord Sea God for a long time!" Qian Lingyi, who had successfully inherited the Angel God Position and restored it to a first-rank God Position, said with a fake smile. As the successor to the Angel God, it wasn't an overstatement for her to speak of a generational friendship with the Sea God—a generational enmity, that is.
"I also really want to test the caliber of the soul figure of the Original Shrek Seven Devils!" Ma Xiaotao clenched her fists, an eager expression on her face.
"Hmph..." With a cold snort and a flash of blue-gold divine radiance, the Sea God instantly vanished. Clearly, facing the impending encirclement by Zhu Ziyang and the three women, Sea God Tang San wisely chose to avoid their edge, abandoning even his own daughter and directly retreating to the God Realm. He was truly a 'peerless good father.'
"Yeah!" Seeing the Sea God retreat, the Sun Moon army immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Everyone shouted Zhu Ziyang's name in unison, "Jing Tian! Jing Tian! Jing Tian!"
In contrast to the jubilant scene of the Sun Moon army, the already gray and deathly silent atmosphere over Star Luo City grew even colder. Everyone's hearts were filled with a helpless, powerless despair. The opposing side had four gods; their only option now was probably to surrender.
"Your Royal Highness, it's over." At this moment, Zhu Ziyang's voice came from the sky, causing Princess Xu Jiujiu to look up. Zhu Ziyang was high above, like a celestial being—no, he *was* a celestial being. "For the sake of friendship, Shrek Academy will still reserve a place for the Star Crown Spirit."
"Really?" A glimmer of light finally appeared in Princess Xu Jiujiu's despondent heart. She recalled another matter Zhu Ziyang had discussed with her during their last meeting: Shrek Academy was willing to take in the Star Crown clan members after their defeat, as the Star Crown Spirit was a support system Spirit with a long heritage. At the time, she had been very angry, but she never expected it to become a reality so quickly. Heh heh, she should laugh, right? At least, the Star Crown Sect didn't perish in her generation. As for the Star Luo Empire, let it go with the wind.
In the tenth month of the fourth year of Empress Moon God, Emperor Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire walked out of Star Luo City and surrendered to Grand Marshal and Duke of the Nation Xu Qianxuan. The Star Luo Empire fell, and the Douluo Continent was thus unified.
On New Year's Day of the fifth year of Empress Moon God, Her Majesty the Empress rectified the calendar and changed the national title to: Ming! This was historically known as the Great Ming Empire, and this day was designated as the first year of the Empire.
---
Two years after the continent's unification, Shrek Academy, Tian Yuan Pavilion.
"Senior Brother." Twenty-three-year-old Huo Yuhao found twenty-six-year-old Zhu Ziyang, calling out excitedly.
"Yu Hao, congratulations, congratulations!" Zhu Ziyang smiled when he saw Huo Yuhao. "God of Emotion Huo Yuhao, not bad. It seems the academy's God Plaza will have another new statue!"
"Hehe." Huo Yuhao chuckled foolishly, "Thanks to your help, Senior Brother, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been able to inherit the God Position smoothly."
Huo Yuhao was referring to the time he inherited his God Position. Due to the special nature of the God of Emotion, he needed an item or ability that could carry the power of seven emotions. However, Huo Yuhao only had three Soul Spirits at the time and was completely unable to carry the power of seven emotions. It was Zhu Ziyang who told him that his second Spirit's Soul Spirit could carry divine force, which allowed him to successfully inherit the God Position.
"I merely happened to be there; the main thing is your own effort." Zhu Ziyang said with a smile, then took out a gray orb and handed it to Huo Yuhao, "Here, Yu Hao, do you feel anything about this orb?"
"This..." Huo Yuhao looked at the orb in Zhu Ziyang's hand with surprise and doubt. He could feel the mysterious energy emanating from the orb and realized that it might be a God Position, but what made his heart palpitate was that his own God Position was trembling, as if excited, or perhaps worshiping, causing his heart to involuntarily quicken. He looked at Zhu Ziyang with some confusion and asked, "Senior Brother, what is this? Why do I have an urge to devour it?"
"This is the God Position of Rakshasa God!" Zhu Ziyang heard Huo Yuhao's words, felt even more confident in his idea, and spoke.
"Rakshasa God Position!" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but gasp. He naturally knew about Rakshasa God, which was why he was so surprised. He said, "Senior Brother, isn't Rakshasa God an Evil God? Why is his God Position in your hands?"
"Heh heh, is Rakshasa God really an Evil God?" Zhu Ziyang neither confirmed nor denied Huo Yuhao's words, smiling as he said, "Let me tell you a story!"
Afterward, Zhu Ziyang recounted the origin of Asura and Rakshasa, and their entangled love and hate, to Huo Yuhao in its entirety. After listening, Huo Yuhao felt his horizons broadened and his heart deeply shaken.
"Senior Brother, you mean that this Rakshasa God is actually a God King on par with Asura God, and also a God King who wields the power of emotion!" Huo Yuhao said. He immediately understood Zhu Ziyang's intention in bringing out the Rakshasa God Position, and a touch of emotion appeared on his face. "Senior Brother, are you planning to give me this Rakshasa God Position?"
"That's right!" Zhu Ziyang nodded and said, "After ascending to the God Realm, you will inevitably face difficulties from the Sea God. With your first-rank God Position, you will definitely not be able to contend with Tang San, who possesses the Asura God Position. Therefore, you need this Rakshasa God Position!"
"However, the current Rakshasa God Position is only a second-rank God Position. To restore it to a God King, it requires a large amount of emotional essence, and you happen to possess this emotional essence. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I…" Huo Yuhao was stunned. He understood Zhu Ziyang's words. His God of Emotion God Position could re-elevate the Rakshasa God God Position to a God King God Position. Although the cost was high, requiring a First Rank God Position, the reward was equally high, allowing him to obtain a God King God Position. The risks involved were naturally very great. However, Huo Yuhao thought of the various painful emotions emanating from Tang Wutong over the past year, and he no longer hesitated. He raised his head, a hint of determination in his eyes, and said, "Senior Brother, I am willing to try!"
"Good, I will protect you!" Huo Yuhao's answer was within Zhu Ziyang's expectations. He immediately said, "Follow me!"
Zhu Ziyang's hand rested on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, and with a thought, the two vanished.
---
One day three months later, the God Realm, far above the endless high heavens, suddenly erupted with an inexplicable wave of laws. This wave was identical to the one when the God of Death returned to his position last time. This time, the two God Kings guarding the core of the God Realm were the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction. As the oldest existences in the current God Realm, they immediately understood what had happened.
"Little Zi, did you feel it?" The Goddess of Life asked, her eyes filled with joy.
"Mm!" From beneath the God of Destruction's hood, a pair of bright eyes appeared. He said, "The emotional origin is self-repairing, and it's already complete!"
"That's great, that's great!" The Goddess of Life cheered, "This way, our strength has increased by another two points. A complete Asura and a complete Rakshasa, it's truly wonderful!"
"Let's hope so!" The God of Destruction listened to his wife's cheers, but a different thought flashed through his mind. He felt that things weren't that simple. The Rakshasa God Position had fallen to the Douluo Continent, and the newborn God of Death was also on the Douluo Continent. If there was no connection between the two, he wouldn't believe it. So, was the Sea God's descent to the lower realm and his black-faced return recently related to this matter?
At the same time, on the Douluo Continent, Zhu Ziyang and Huo Yuhao appeared in the Tian Yuan Pavilion, both with expressions of excitement and joy.
"Yu Hao, congratulations, you have become the true God of Emotion!" Zhu Ziyang said first.
"Mm-hm! Senior Brother, thank you so much!" Huo Yuhao said to Zhu Ziyang, his face full of gratitude.
"Alright, no need to be so formal," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile, patting Huo Yuhao's shoulder. "Go and do what you want to do. Now, you should be able to do these things very easily! Remember to tell me when you're ready to leave the Douluo Continent!"
"Yes!" Huo Yuhao left with an excited heart, giggleing.
"Rakshasa God King, not bad," Zhu Ziyang looked at Huo Yuhao's departing back, smiling thoughtfully. "I wonder what choice you will make, whether to keep the Sea God Position or the Asura God Position? If you keep the Asura God Position, can you truly escape the spiritual judgment of the God Position? Tsk tsk, how curious!"

In the second year of the Empire, Her Majesty the Empress issued an edict, enfeoffing Imperial Prince Zhu Yuhuang as the Crown Prince and Imperial Princess Zhu Yuyue as the Moon God Princess.
For this edict, the entire Empire cheered in support. No one cared that the Imperial family would change from the Xu family to the Zhu family afterward, or rather, everyone was happy to see it happen. After all, everyone knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Moon God Princess were the children of Her Majesty the Empress and His Excellency the God of Death, true divine descendants.
This meant that the future Imperial family would become true descendants of the gods, enjoying divine protection, and the Empire's lifespan would inevitably be more stable. For the vested interests, this was a welcome good thing. For the common people, the Empire's stability was also a joyous event worth celebrating.
Therefore, there was no opposition from top to bottom.
This year, Zhu Yuhuang and Zhu Yuyue were six years old. After awakening their Spirits, Zhang Lexuan immediately enfeoffed them as Crown Prince and Moon God Princess. There was nothing to say about the Crown Prince's position, the future Emperor of the Great Ming. The title of Moon God Princess, however, was specially created by Zhang Lexuan for her daughter, showing her love for her daughter. After all, the title of Moon God had a special meaning in the current Great Ming Empire.
The two little ones were not concerned about the change in their positions. What they cared about was that their Spirits were different, which made them sad for a long time.
Older brother Zhu Yuhuang's Spirit was the Heavenly Frost Sacred Dragon, with innate full spirit power plus Zhu Ziyang's divine blessing, so his innate spirit power was rank twenty, and he possessed Ultimate Ice.
Younger sister Zhu Yuyue had twin spirits, the Moon Spirit and the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe Spirit, with innate full spirit power plus Jiang Nannan's divine blessing, so her innate spirit power was also rank twenty, and she possessed Ultimate Light.
It could be foreseen that these two little ones would undoubtedly be prodigies who would amaze an era in the future. As for whether they could surpass their parents, that depended on their respective fortunes.
---
In the third year of the Empire, inside the Mingdu Imperial Palace, Zhu Ziyang saw off Huo Yuhao.
"Senior Brother, we will meet again in the God Realm!" Huo Yuhao extended his fist to Zhu Ziyang and said solemnly.
"See you in the God Realm!" Zhu Ziyang also extended his fist, and it met Huo Yuhao's.
"Senior Brother, goodbye!" Beside Huo Yuhao stood two women, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er, one on his left and one on his right.
After Huo Yuhao became the Rakshasa God, he immediately separated Xiao Xiao's soul from Tang Wutong's soul and successfully resurrected her. Without Xiao Xiao's soul, Tang Wutong's soul instantly shattered. Huo Yuhao removed the Sea God divine force from these soul fragments, recovered Wang Dong'er's soul from them, and resurrected Wang Dong'er.
After Wang Dong'er was resurrected, all her memories surged from the depths of her soul, including her memories as Little Qi, as Wang Dong'er, and as Tang Wutong. She almost collapsed. If Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao hadn't stabilized her emotions in time, her soul would probably have shattered again.
For Wang Dong'er, or rather, Tang Wutong, who had experienced soul cutting, soul stitching, and soul shattering, she now had only one thought: pain, too much pain!
Going to the God Realm this time would surely be a heartwarming scene of filial piety from father to daughter, a grand display of filial piety, after all, not long ago, Wang Dong'er received a sacrifice from her second uncle.
Unfortunately, Zhu Ziyang wouldn't be able to see it. He still had ninety years left to stay in the lower realm and wasn't in a hurry to leave the Douluo Continent so early. Therefore, he wished Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er success!
---
In the fifth year of the Empire, Her Majesty the Empress issued an edict to relocate the capital. The former capital of the Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu, would become the secondary capital, and the Great Ming Empire's new capital, Sun Moon City, would become the new center of the Douluo Continent, in a dual sense.
After the continent's unification, Zhang Lexuan began to prepare for the construction of the new capital and the relocation. The site for the Empire's new capital, Sun Moon City, was chosen in the central part of the continent, forming a triangle with Shrek City and the Star Dou Great Forest.
Also in this year, His Majesty the Emperor issued an edict to establish the Douluo Hall and the Hall of Enshrinement, responsible for managing all Spirit Master affairs in the world and the crowning matters of Titled Douluo level. The first Hall Masters of the Douluo Hall and the Hall of Enshrinement were naturally held by Zhu Ziyang, and subsequent Hall Masters of the two halls would be held by the Imperial Emperor and the strongest person in the Empire, respectively.
Still in this year, the Eternal Soul Tower was established by the Empire as an official government agency and organization, beginning to promote the Soul Spirit method throughout the continent, and simultaneously commencing further research into the many possibilities of Soul Spirits.
At the same time, Beast God Di Tian also officially established the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, aiming to protect all Spirit Beast races, and incidentally cooperating with the Eternal Soul Tower's Soul Spirit promotion work.
Starting from this year, although the Empire did not prohibit Spirit Masters from hunting spirit rings, the number of Spirit Masters hunting spirit rings inevitably decreased, because the main Spirit Beast gathering places on the continent were almost all controlled by the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall. Except for some Spirit Beast forests and oceans where Spirit Beasts were artificially raised, other places were very unsafe.
It is worth mentioning that the position of Eternal Soul Tower Master would no longer be concurrently held by the Shrek Academy's Tian Yuan Pavilion Master, but would be nominated by Shrek Academy, the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, and the Hall of Enshrinement, and appointed by the Emperor. Furthermore, two Vice Tower Masters would be added, forming a 2-1-1 situation among the Empire, Shrek Academy, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall.
The purpose of this move was clearly aimed at Shrek Academy, but the person who proposed this series of measures was precisely the Tian Yuan Pavilion Master, Zhu Ziyang.
The reason for this was entirely because when Zhu Ziyang designed the Eternal Soul Tower's structure, he hadn't anticipated that the future Imperial Emperor would become his son and descendants.
He was also human, and planning for his descendants was an understandable thing.
However, although Shrek Academy lost some of the Eternal Soul Tower's benefits, it gained the Empire's educational rights.
Shrek Academy's Yuntian Plan and Tian Yuan Academy Plan were accepted and promoted by the Empire. Shrek Academy would gain educational rights and priority enrollment qualifications for all primary Spirit Master academies on the continent. This meant that all primary Spirit Master academies on the continent effectively became affiliated academies of Shrek Academy. At the same time, the Empire would also provide objective educational funds annually.
As a trade-off, except for Anyang City's Tian Yuan Academy, Tian Yuan Academies in other regions needed to revert to their original names. Additionally, all teachers of Shrek Academy would become imperial officials, and the appointment of the dean would need to be reported to the Imperial Emperor, to establish a nominal superior-subordinate relationship.
The Empire did not allow the existence of a de facto state within a state within its borders. On this point, the high-ranking officials of Shrek Academy had no objections.
The Tian Yuan Academy's right to Spirit awakening was also revoked, but the Empire also reformed the Spirit awakening system.
Originally, the Sun Moon Empire's Spirit awakening was handled by the specially established Martial Soul Bureau, but now, it was handled by the primary Spirit Master academies in various places. The annual enrollment season was also the time for Spirit awakening.
This meant that the Empire actually shared the Spirit awakening rights with Shrek Academy. This was a compromise, and in response, Shrek Academy needed to assist the Empire in establishing primary Spirit Master academies in all township-level areas on the continent and provide faculty.
With this series of measures, although Shrek Academy lost its former transcendent status, it truly became the holy land of Spirit education on the continent.
As for the former Martial Soul Bureau, it was expanded and transformed into the Douluo Hall, which collected information on all Spirits and Spirit Beasts in the world, changing from a political institution to a historical and cultural institution.
---
In the seventh year of the Empire, Shrek Academy, Tian Yuan Island.
Zhu Ziyang, who was teaching Zhu Yuhuang and Zhu Yuyue to cultivate, suddenly looked up sharply. He saw the originally clear sky suddenly turn gloomy, followed by a blue meteor streaking diagonally across the starry sky, carrying vast divine force, and crashing into the vast Douluo Sea.
"Dad, what happened? Why did the sky turn gloomy?" Zhu Yuyue tugged at Zhu Ziyang's sleeve and asked confusedly.
"It's nothing, it will clear up soon." Zhu Ziyang stroked his daughter's head, comforting her.
As expected, after the blue meteor disappeared, the sky became clear again.
The people on the continent didn't pay too much attention to this brief anomaly. In this era where gods appeared, what was this anomaly?
However, Zhu Ziyang knew clearly what was hidden behind this anomaly, and the true identity of that blue meteor.
"Ziyang, did you see it?" Ma Xiaotao was the first to appear beside Zhu Ziyang, followed by Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi. All three women had solemn expressions.
"Alright, no need to be nervous." Zhu Ziyang said with a smile, comforting them, "This is a good thing, it means Yu Hao and the others are at least gaining the upper hand."
"Sigh! I really want to go up and see now!" Ma Xiaotao sighed with regret, saying.
"See how Sea God was forced to abolish his God Position? I want to too."
---
In the ninety-first year of the Empire.
Zhu Ziyang decided to leave the Douluo Continent and ascend to the God Realm.
He stood at the highest point in the sky, with five women beside him: Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, Qian Lingyi, Zhang Lexuan, and Fifth Huan'er. He looked reluctantly at the Douluo Continent below, which was only the size of a palm, and then looked up at the unforeseeable deep space.
He took off the jade bracelet that had been with him for nearly a hundred years. This was given to him by his mother, Liang Ying. Unfortunately, his parents were unwilling to follow him to the God Realm, otherwise he wouldn't be so reluctant.
The emotions in his eyes gradually dissipated. He weighed the jade bracelet in his hand and murmured, "Old friend, we'll meet again if fate allows!"
As his voice fell, Zhu Ziyang suddenly waved his hand, and under the puzzled gaze of the five women, he threw the jade bracelet into the endless deep space.
"Brother, what are you..." Jiang Nannan asked confusedly.
"Just saying goodbye to an old friend." Zhu Ziyang said with a smile.
An old friend, yes, wasn't the library that had accompanied Zhu Ziyang for nearly a hundred years an old friend?
Now that he was leaving the Douluo Continent, this library would naturally return to its original owner, or perhaps, wait for the next fated person.
"Let's go!" Zhu Ziyang cast aside the melancholy in his heart, turned around, and said with soaring Spirit.
And then, see you in the God Realm!
