Looking at the changes in the expressions on the two women's faces, Shen Han Yu couldn't help but chuckle softly.
The two of them had completed the Sea God's Sixth Trial exceptionally well, so the rewards they received were naturally somewhat more generous than the original ones.
After this trial, Shui Bing'er's soul power shot straight into the eightieth rank. As long as she obtained one more eighth soul ring, she would officially become a true Soul Douluo.
Shen Liu Yu's progress was even faster. Although Shen Han Yu wasn't clear on the exact progress of her own Dark God Trial, from the fact that she had been able to successfully summon the phantom of her divine weapon last time, it was clear that while undergoing the Sea God Trials, Shen Liu Yu had at least advanced her Dark God Trial to around the fourth one.
Now, she only lacked one ninth soul ring to become the ultimate goal of all soul masters on the continent today, a Title Douluo.
As for her ninth soul ring, Shen Han Yu had prepared it long ago. The Evil Emperor, far away on the Sun Moon Continent, would be their final target.
Additionally, the God Trial that Gu Yuena had mentioned also drew part of his attention. Although he didn't know which deity it belonged to, it was still a God Trial inheritance. Even if it wasn't useful, going to take a look wouldn't waste any time.
A moment later, Shen Han Yu cleared his throat and continued:
"Xiao Nian and the others have already resumed their cultivation. Although the two of you are far ahead in cultivation, you must not slack off. If possible, after the Sun Moon trip ends, A Yu, I hope your cultivation can step into the Super Douluo level. As for Bing'er, your goal is to become a Title Douluo. Of course, if you need anything, you can tell me at any time…"
Shen Liu Yu and Shui Bing'er nodded seriously, then followed Shen Han Yu out of the room…
…
Bright and beautiful sunlight brought endless warmth. Sea breeze carrying a slight salty tang blew over. Shen Liu Yu spread her arms to welcome the refreshing coolness, while Shui Bing'er couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, her face also full of enjoyment.
Having been unconscious in bed for so long, the two of them felt as if their bones had rusted. Now that they were once again in contact with vitality, they both had the illusion of being reborn.
Under the shade of the distant forest, everyone was quietly sitting cross-legged on the ground cultivating. A picnic cloth had been spread on the grass nearby, covered with all kinds of pastries and drinks, looking like it had been specially prepared for everyone.
Seemingly sensing someone approaching, everyone opened their eyes one after another. Immediately, their eyes were filled with surprise and excitement.
With Shui Yue'er being the first to leap up and pounce toward Shui Bing'er, the rest of the group also stood up and gathered over.
Shui Bing'er caught Shui Yue'er's petite body, then chuckled softly and pinched her little sister's cheek before saying with some surprise:
"It looks like Yue'er has been working very hard during this time. You've actually reached the peak of Soul Emperor. Not bad. It seems that in a while, my silly little sister will also be able to break through to the Soul Saint level…"
Shui Yue'er proudly puffed out her chest and said:
"I won't keep dragging behind my sister forever. Big Brother said that as long as I cultivate hard, maybe in the future I can even surpass you…"
Shui Bing'er playfully tapped the little girl's forehead, then turned her gaze to the others and said with a light smile:
"In this situation, shouldn't I say ' long time no see'?"
Everyone looked at each other and smiles appeared on their faces.
On the other side, Shen Liu Yu was almost caught off guard as she was pulled into Dugu Yan's embrace, buried between two snowy peaks.
Strands of a strange, alluring fragrance rushed into Shen Liu Yu's nose. She suddenly felt a terrifying sense of suffocation and immediately struggled hard, finally managing to break free from Dugu Yan's arms.
"Hey, old woman, what are you doing? If you dare do that again next time, I'll definitely bite off a piece of your flesh…"
Dugu Yan giggled. Her slender, seductive water-snake waist, paired with two oversized snowy mountains, caused a great deal of alluring scenery to be displayed openly before everyone without any concealment.
"Sure, letting you take a bite next time is fine too. Anyway, Sister won't lose out…"
Shen Liu Yu's pretty face flushed red with anger. She quickly turned away and stopped paying attention to Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan wasn't annoyed at all. She simply watched everyone playfully messing around with a smile in her eyes, a hard-to-describe feeling of relaxation filling her heart.
After completing the sixth trial, her cultivation had also stepped into the Soul Saint level, but she had not yet obtained her seventh soul ring. In truth, she didn't have strong feelings about whether her seventh soul ring would be a hundred-thousand-year one. For her, being able to continue living such a happy life was the best outcome.
Bai Nian held Xue Ke's hand while mixed in with the crowd. It had to be admitted that Bai Nian's talent was indeed heaven-defying. Even if she didn't actively cultivate, as long as there was enough life energy for her to devour, her cultivation would still grow rapidly in a short time. In this one month, she had already successfully broken through to the Soul Saint level through her own efforts. Now, she also needed to obtain her seventh soul ring.
Ye Lingling did not join the group's playful antics. Her gaze searched the surroundings for a moment before landing on a patch of shade in the distance.
Her steps were light as she quickly arrived in front of Shen Han Yu. Shen Han Yu smiled and pinched Ye Lingling's cheek, then said:
"Why aren't you playing with them? Always being so quiet isn't good…"
Ye Lingling's face turned a little red from being rubbed. The little girl puffed up her cheeks in annoyance and said softly:
"I'm not. I just wanted to spend some time alone with you. You're always so busy or nowhere to be seen, and you don't come to accompany me much…"
Shen Han Yu's breathing paused slightly. He then stroked Ye Lingling's head with some apology and said gently:
"I'm very sorry. Perhaps among the three of you, I've paid too little attention to you… Don't worry, that won't happen again in the future…"
Ye Lingling shook her head and said:
"I understand. My cultivation and strength are really too weak, so I can't touch the things you're facing now. That's why I won't disturb you. If you ever feel tired, you can come find me anytime. I can help you relax…"
Shen Han Yu gently pulled the girl into his arms and then deliberately asked:
"How exactly do you help me relax? Can you tell me now…"
Ye Lingling's face flushed red. She stomped hard on Shen Han Yu's foot, then buried her burning hot face directly into his chest. Feeling his heartbeat, Ye Lingling's breathing gradually calmed down.
The sun was warm, the wind gentle. Everything was both romantic and beautiful. Everyone bathed in the sunlight, temporarily forgetting their worries and troubles. At this moment, it felt as if even life itself had been purified and sublimated.
…
Thirty kilometers outside Sea God Island, this area was no longer the territory of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks, but a sea region perpetually shrouded in lightning and harsh weather.
Space was torn open directly. Shen Han Yu's figure walked out leisurely. Then, his gaze turned toward the three people opposite him.
The expression on Gu Yuena's face was somewhat unclear under the cover of thunder, but Shen Han Yu didn't pay much attention to it. He simply said softly:
"If nothing unexpected happens, we can set off in a few days."
Gu Yuena nodded gently, then sighed softly and said:
"Sea God Island has the divine power and even divine sense left behind by the Sea God. My strength has not yet recovered, so I don't dare approach recklessly. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it would be troublesome…"
Shen Han Yu chuckled lightly and didn't press the topic further. He simply said:
"Have you been traveling well recently? From your condition, it seems pretty good."
Gu Yuena also chuckled lightly, her tone candid and calm.
"The Douluo plane is the place where Dragon God rose. It hides too many secrets and opportunities, many of which can be traced back to the ancient times when this world was first born. During this period, I have seen too many powerful sea races. Unfortunately, they were conquered by the Sea God ten thousand years ago and became his loyal believers. I can no longer benefit from their faith. On the ocean, my title as the co-ruler of soul beasts surprisingly doesn't hold much weight…"
Shen Han Yu's gaze remained calm as he said:
"Although they can no longer provide faith, they and the Sea God are ultimately not on the same path. In the face of race, they can still become your followers. Or rather, once you are strong enough, you can still become their ruler…"
The smile on Gu Yuena's face remained unchanged. She nodded gently and said:
"Then I'll take your auspicious words…"
With that, Gu Yuena paused briefly. Then, an ice-blue longsword slowly appeared in her hand. Gu Yuena looked at the ice-blue longsword and said:
"I have completed six or seven tenths of the restoration of this Ice God artifact, but I am truly powerless for the rest. The Douluo plane does not allow me to make such large moves right now. Even completing the previous repairs nearly drew a heavenly tribulation. As for the rest, let the person who inherits the Ice God position slowly nourish and repair it with their own soul power…"
Shen Han Yu took the Ice God Sword from Gu Yuena's hand, then lightly swung it toward the thick, dark clouds overhead. A brilliant sword light erupted, and the entire sky seemed to be sliced open, blooming with strands of golden light. The sunlight hidden behind it then shone down on the three of them.
"Thank you. If you need anything in the future, you can come find me anytime…"
Shen Han Yu said softly, then put the Ice God Sword away.
Gu Yuena looked at the sky, chuckled lightly, and did not continue Shen Han Yu's topic. Instead, she said calmly:
"I will take Bi Ji and Zi Ji to stay in the sea region near Sea God Island for a while to wait for you. You should hurry with the rest. This place is too close to Sea God Island, so it's not suitable for us to stay long. We'll leave first. If anything comes up, you can contact me anytime using that dragon scale…"
Shen Han Yu did not stop them. He simply nodded gently, then watched the three of them disappear before his eyes. After lingering in place for a while, Shen Han Yu turned and stepped into the spatial rift again, quickly vanishing without a trace.
…
The moment he returned, Shen Han Yu handed the Ice God Sword, which Gu Yuena had repaired, over to the Snow Emperor.
It had to be said that Shen Han Yu's predictions were always very accurate. The moment the Snow Emperor held the Ice God Sword, she indeed became more than one level stronger.
This came from the ultimate compatibility between attribute and origin, allowing the Ice God Sword to feel as flexible and natural in the Snow Emperor's hands as if it had returned to the hands of the former Ice God.
Watching the Snow Emperor wield the Ice God Sword with unrestrained freedom, Shen Han Yu's mind had already risen with other plans.
The Ice God Sword itself was a top-tier first-class divine weapon. In the Ice God's hands, it could even display power comparable to a super divine weapon. What Shen Han Yu wanted to do was very simple: forcibly elevate the Ice God Sword's quality through external means and turn it into a super divine weapon of the Douluo plane.
This seemingly impossible thing actually had some basis, but it was indeed impossible to complete right now. Everything would have to wait until after he became a god.
Mentioning the word "become a god," Shen Han Yu felt an inexplicable, strange sensation for no reason.
He had been stuck at the final step for too long. Even though he understood he couldn't be impatient, other thoughts still inevitably arose.
After thinking it over, he decided to return to the continent once everyone's trials were mostly complete. If someone really needed to be the first test subject to become a god, Shen Han Yu felt that Bibi Dong would be a good choice.
Of course, Shen Han Yu had no requirements for this goal. His need to steal the power of destiny to forge a divine position would not change. What he needed to do now was accelerate the process and try to make this matter streamlined while encompassing all the key points.
After thinking everything through, Shen Han Yu's state of mind seemed to become much clearer in an instant. Even a small knot in his heart was completely resolved, and his spiritual power became a few degrees more active.
Time turned into waves lapping against the beach, never stopping or interrupting. The sun rose and set. Everything moved forward slowly. Before anyone realized it, time had already brought everything to another day.
Today was a very special day. Everyone had arrived early at the foot of Sea God Mountain. Looking at the Sea God Hall that seemed to stand above the clouds, determination filled Shui Bing'er's eyes. Then, everyone stepped up to the peak of Sea God Mountain.
Posesi had already been waiting inside the Sea God Hall for a long time. Sensing everyone entering the hall, Posesi slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the leading group of girls, the emotions in her eyes were extremely complex, but in the end she only sighed softly before speaking directly:
"The first six of the Sea God Nine Trials can only be considered foundational assessments. I believe you all understand this. The real last three trials are each far more difficult than the previous six…"
"And the content of the seventh trial is also very simple: pull out the Sea God Trident that is inserted upside down on the Sea God Platform. The Sea God Trident is the weapon that accompanied the Sea God throughout his life of conquests, and it is also where part of the Sea God's divine power is condensed. Only with its approval can you be considered to have taken the key step toward becoming the Sea God…"
"I cannot give you too much help or hints for this seventh trial. Belief is the key to overcoming everything. When necessary, do not forget that you are the successor chosen by Sea God, and there must be something different about you…"
