Chapter 182: The Chessboard Opens, the Battle of Schemes Between Yun Yuan and the Asura God
"Alright, alright, I'll give it back to you."
Seeing the Ice Empress's strong reaction, Yun Yuan returned the novel to her.
Otherwise, she would probably start throwing a tantrum soon.
After returning the novel to the Ice Empress, Yun Yuan's gaze slightly shifted toward the Snow Empress, instantly receiving a warning from her.
"Yun Yuan, you'd better not secretly look at my novel's title; otherwise, I won't let you off."
The Snow Empress also became anxious, afraid that Yun Yuan would forcibly take out her novel just like he had done earlier.
If that happened, she would truly lose all face. How would she face Yun Yuan in the future?
"Alright, alright, Snow Empress, I won't take your novel."
Hearing Yun Yuan's words, the Snow Empress finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luckily, my 'The Daily Romance of an Older Sister' won't be discovered."
Earlier, when the Snow Empress glanced at the bookshelf, she immediately noticed this novel.
After carefully reading it, the Snow Empress discovered that she had become completely addicted, wishing she could study it day and night.
At the same time, deep within her heart, there was now a slight desire to experience love. It was just that she had not yet discovered it.
God Realm, Asura Divine Hall.
The Asura God sat upon the throne of his divine hall, his eyes passing through endless space as he looked toward the Douluo Continent below.
"At this point, even backing down is useless. Therefore, the power of destiny must be obtained."
At this moment, the Asura God was replanning in his heart how he could seize the power of destiny carried by Spirit Hall from Yun Yuan's hands.
The moment he attacked Yun Yuan and attempted to stop him from becoming a god, there was no longer any possibility of peaceful coexistence between him and Yun Yuan.
This was a grudge of blocking one's path.
As long as Yun Yuan remained in the God Realm for even a day, he would definitely oppose him.
And he, the Asura God, also had to seize Spirit Hall's power of destiny to further increase his own strength.
Therefore, conflict between him and Yun Yuan was inevitable.
However, the Asura God had no intention of killing Yun Yuan.
After all, Yun Yuan was too powerful, and he also had the support of the other four God Kings.
Unless the Asura God had gone insane, he would never fight Yun Yuan to the death.
His goal from the beginning had always been Spirit Hall's power of destiny.
Obtain the power of destiny, leave his god position to his successor, then happily leave the God Realm and roam the universe freely.
This was probably the Asura God's deepest desire.
Tang San: ???
Tang San: Asura God, you're so noble; you're so amazing. After taking all the benefits, you leave me alone in the God Realm to endure Yun Yuan's anger. You're really treating me like an Outer Realm Demon.
After making his decision, the Asura God began laying out his plans on the Douluo Continent.
A chessboard belonging exclusively to the Asura God and Yun Yuan quietly unfolded across the Douluo Continent.
The Asura God and Yun Yuan were the chess players, while every living being on the Douluo Continent was a chess piece within the game.
The Asura God believed he had a considerable chance of seizing Spirit Hall's power of destiny.
After all, he was in the shadows, while Yun Yuan was in the open.
Yun Yuan did not know about his plans.
By the time he reacted, the chess game would already be over.
But what he did not know was that Yun Yuan had long since guessed the Asura God's actions.
The Asura God thought he was on the second floor while Yun Yuan was on the first.
The truth was, Yun Yuan was on the third floor.
Douluo Continent, Spirit City.
More than half a month has already passed since Yun Yuan became a god.
At this time, Yun Yuan had also returned from the God Realm.
The time he spent in the God Realm was not very long, but half a month had already passed on the Douluo Continent.
This was because the flow of time between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent was different.
One day in the God Realm equaled one year on the Douluo Continent.
Therefore, if one lived in the God Realm for too long and then returned, everything would feel completely different.
At Yun Yuan's palace,
The moment Yun Yuan returned home, he was instantly surrounded by Bibi Dong, Ye Qingxian, and Bo Saixi.
"Junior Brother, congratulations on becoming a god. Speaking of which, what is the God Realm like?"
"You were gone for so long. Hurry and tell us about it."
The moment she saw Yun Yuan, Bibi Dong couldn't wait to ask.
Ye Qingxian and Bo Saixi, beside her, also locked their gazes firmly on Yun Yuan, their eyes revealing deep curiosity and anticipation.
For those who had not become gods, the God Realm was like a utopian world in their eyes.
Bibi Dong, Ye Qingxian, and Bo Saixi were no exception.
"Don't rush. I'll explain everything slowly..."
Yun Yuan calmly replied.
He slowly explained everything about the God Realm.
The flow of time in the God Realm, the god hierarchy, the planes governed by the God Realm, and the technological level of the God Realm.
Finally, he also mentioned his own membership in the God Realm Committee.
"So this is what the God Realm is really like."
After listening, the three women felt they had gained a lot of knowledge.
What shocked them most was Yun Yuan himself.
The moment he entered the God Realm, he not only became one of the strongest gods but also joined the God Realm Committee as a representative of the highest authority.
They now understood the ranking system among gods in the God Realm.
From lowest to highest, it was: divine officers, third-class gods, second-class gods, first-class gods, and God Kings.
Originally, there were only five God Kings in the God Realm. After Yun Yuan became a god, there were now six.
"Ah Yuan, then in the future, when you bring us to the God Realm, will we become your divine officers?"
Bo Saixi asked.
In her mind, Yun Yuan would certainly live with them in the God Realm.
In that case, they should belong to the dependents of a god-king and be raised by Yun Yuan.
Divine dependents without a god position in the God Realm were considered divine officers.
After hearing Bo Saixi's question, Yun Yuan couldn't help but smile.
"Xixi, how could I only let you become divine officers? In the future, I will definitely have all of you inherit god positions and ascend to the God Realm yourselves."
Yun Yuan was especially doting on his three women. Becoming divine officers would be an insult to them and to himself.
Moreover, their talents were among the strongest in the world.
Bibi Dong possessed twin martial souls. In the original work, she even inherited the Rakshasa God, a first-class god.
After consuming immortal pills, her martial souls evolved again, making her talent even stronger and making it easier to obtain a god's inheritance.
Ye Qingxian, owner of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, could be considered the top-tier support-type martial soul on the continent.
As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, known as the number one support type martial soul, Yun Yuan believed it was due to quantity.
The quality of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul was inferior to the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, but it excelled in numbers, allowing it to claim first place.
Only after the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul evolved could it stand shoulder to shoulder with the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul.
Ye Qingxian had also consumed immortal pills, and her martial soul's quality definitely surpassed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul.
With such talent, obtaining a god's inheritance would be very easy.
As for Bo Saixi, although she was once the Sea God's High Priestess and, strictly speaking, had already lost her chance to become a god, Yun Yuan now held the Sea God position.
Whether Bo Saixi could become a god was now a matter of his words.
In fact, among the three women, the one most likely to become a god was Bo Saixi, her former role as High Priestess notwithstanding.
Yun Yuan planned to pass the Sea God position to Bo Saixi, making her the next Sea God.
