"Hahaha! I thought it was something difficult!"
He laughed loudly on the snowy night and agreed without hesitation:
"Let alone three items, what harm would it do to have ten!"
Since the gentleman is choosing for his granddaughter, he should naturally choose the best!
Qinghe!
"Your subject is here."
Xue Qinghe quickly stepped forward and bowed in response.
"You shall immediately take this imperial edict and accompany Mr. Dugu and Miss Dugu to the Royal Treasury."
On a snowy night, he said with boundless pride:
"The first to the third floor of the treasure vault are yours to choose from, sir, without any obstruction!"
"Your subject obeys the decree."
Xue Qinghe bowed his head and accepted the order, but a hint of disdain flashed deep in his eyes.
She had already thoroughly searched the Heavenly Dou Treasury under the guise of being the regent.
Apart from that one special item, everything else inside was trash in her eyes.
That old poisoner is really short-sighted.
But that's fine too; greedy people are easier to control than stubborn ones who won't listen to reason.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Dugu Bo cupped his hands slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Within his spiritual sea, Yu Nan's immense dragon soul was churning excitedly:
Good! Well done!
The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is an artifact passed down from the Sea God!
This thing would be a complete waste to have it in the hands of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family; only in Yan Yan's hands can its true value be realized!
"Old poisoner, once you're inside, follow my instructions."
That thing possesses a spirit; ordinary people cannot perceive its extraordinary nature at all, and would only perceive it as a slightly sturdier, broken cover.
Dugu Bo sneered inwardly.
Snowy night, oh snowy night, do you think you've gained something?
When I take all your national treasures, you'll be crying your eyes out!
"Yanyan, come with Grandpa."
Dugu Bo gave a shout and, with Dugu Yan by his side, swaggered behind Xue Qinghe, heading towards the royal treasury.
At this moment, Dugu Yan's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.
If we can really find that Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
They'll make a fortune!
On the way to the royal treasury, the palace walls were majestic and heavily guarded.
Xue Qinghe walked at the front, his steps steady and his back straight.
Grandpa Dugu and his grandson followed behind, seemingly admiring the scenery of the palace, but in reality, they were having a secret conversation about the future.
Dugu Yan looked at Xue Qinghe's confident back, but she still felt uneasy.
After all, it's a legendary artifact. The Heavenly Dou royal family has possessed it for so many years without discovering any clues. Could it really be such a heaven-defying treasure?
"senior..."
Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask in her spiritual sea, her voice tinged with a hint of anxious anticipation:
"Is that Vast Ocean Universe Cover really a divine artifact?"
Could it just be a slightly more powerful soul tool?
After all, even a behemoth like the Heavenly Dou Royal Family only regarded it as a solid shield…
"Hmph, they're just blind."
Yu Nan's lazy voice immediately rang out, carrying an undeniable confidence:
"I can vouch for it with the Dragon Soul; it's absolutely a genuine divine artifact!"
Moreover, it contains a wisp of the sea god's divine will.
At this point, Yu Nan's tone became more serious, yet full of allure:
"Yanyan, you must know that divine artifacts have spirits and choose their own masters."
As long as you have sufficient qualifications to gain the approval of that wisp of the Sea God's divine thought, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover will take the initiative to recognize you as its master.
Then you will be qualified to go to Poseidon Island and begin the Nine Trials of Poseidon!
"The Nine Trials of the Sea God?"
Dugu Yan's heart skipped a beat.
"That's right."
Yu Nan solemnly assured him:
"As long as you pass the test, the position of the Sea God, a first-level god, will be a sure thing for you!"
"At that time, you will be the new god of this continent, reigning supreme over all living beings!"
Hearing Yu Nan's confident assurance, Dugu Yan finally felt relieved.
The initial excitement subsided like a receding tide, replaced by an unprecedented sense of determination.
Become a god!
That was the ultimate goal that countless Soul Masters dared not even dream of, and now it was so close to them!
However, just as her ecstasy was subsiding, Dugu Yan's gaze fell on the slightly hunched, dark green figure in front of her.
That was her grandfather, Dugu Bo.
For her sake, her grandfather humbled himself and agreed to become a guest minister of the Heavenly Dou royal family.
For her sake, Grandpa dared to provoke the infamous Haotian Douluo;
It was also for her sake that Grandpa, at his advanced age, was still working hard for the future of the family.
A faint light flickered in Dugu Yan's eyes, a mixture of emotion and worry.
If I were to become a god one day and have an endless lifespan, what about my grandfather?
Although my grandfather is a titled Douluo, his lifespan is ultimately limited. If he does not inherit a divine position, he will eventually become a handful of dust after a hundred years.
Thinking of this, Dugu Yan's mood, which had just calmed down, became heavy again.
"senior..."
Dugu Yan asked cautiously in her heart, her tone tinged with hope:
"Since you know about the artifacts passed down by the Sea God..."
Do you know anything about other deities?
Like a heirloom like the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, or some other method...
"Could it grant my grandfather divine inheritance as well?"
In the sea of the spirit, Yu Nan remained silent for a moment.
It seemed as if it was pondering, or perhaps flipping through that vast sea of memories.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of helpless laughter:
"I do know a few."
The hidden opportunities on this continent include not only the Sea God, but also the Asura God, the Rakshasa God, the Angel God, and so on…
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's eyes lit up.
But then, Yunan poured cold water on the situation:
"But, Yan Yan, you need to understand one thing."
When choosing a successor, the gods value talent and potential the most.
Although your grandfather is a Title Douluo, within the Title Douluo level, his talent... forgive me for being frank, but it's not top-tier.
"It could even be said that if it weren't for my appearance, he would still be at the bottom of the Title Douluo ranks."
Although Yunan's words were harsh, they were true.
If Dugu Bo hadn't relied on his poison skills, his direct combat strength would indeed be inferior to other titled Douluo.
"To get those high and mighty gods to take notice of the old poison master and initiate his divine trials..."
This is like asking a rooster to lay an egg—difficult, extremely difficult.
The light in Dugu Yan's eyes dimmed instantly, and a deep sense of loss welled up in her heart.
Is Grandpa destined to stop here?
Does becoming a god mean I have to watch my grandfather grow old and pass away?
The thought of attaining immortality but having to endure the pain of separation from loved ones was suffocating to her.
"Is there really... absolutely no way?"
Dugu Yan's voice was choked with emotion, filled with deep resentment:
"Senior, you are all-powerful, you must have a way, right?"
No matter how difficult the challenge, I'm willing to fight for it for Grandpa if there's a chance!
