Seeing Dugu Yan's almost tearful appearance, Yu Nan couldn't help but find it a little funny.
This girl, although she usually seems cold and aloof, is genuinely kind to this grandfather.
This kind of filial piety seems rather endearing in this dog-eat-dog world.
Yu Nan did not answer immediately, but deliberately paused for a moment.
This silence made Dugu Yan even more anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit still.
Just when Dugu Yan was about to despair, Yu Nan finally stopped keeping her in suspense and chuckled softly:
"There are solutions... of course."
"It's not that no deity would be interested in your grandfather."
After all, besides the top-tier first-level gods, there are also many second-level and third-level gods in this world, whose standards may not be as high.
and..."
At this point, Yu Nan deliberately dragged out the last syllable, as if enjoying the perverse pleasure of controlling emotions.
"And what?"
"Please tell me, senior!"
Dugu Yan was so anxious that she stamped her feet. If it weren't for Xue Qinghe in front of her, she probably would have shouted out long ago.
"Moreover, even if the old poison master doesn't gain the favor of the gods in the end, it doesn't matter."
Yu Nan's voice became more relaxed, with a hint of teasing:
"Silly girl, what do you think becoming a god is for?"
It's not just about power, but also about the privilege of one person attaining enlightenment and all their relatives and friends benefiting from it!
"If you truly become the Sea God, then you will be a first-level supreme god in the divine realm!"
According to the rules of the divine realm, a first-level god is allowed to bring their family members into the divine realm and enjoy eternal life!
"As long as you are strong enough, you can take your grandfather up with you. Even if he doesn't become a god, he can live as long as heaven and earth."
"This...really?!"
Dugu Yan suddenly stopped in her tracks, her eyes gleaming with unprecedented surprise.
Take people to the realm of gods!
May you live forever!
Is this even possible?!
When have I ever lied to you?
Yu Nan smiled and said:
"So instead of worrying about whether your grandfather can find a divine position, you should worry about whether you can pass the nine trials of the Sea God."
"Once you become a god, your grandfather's future will be entirely in your hands, won't it?"
"I see!"
Dugu Yan took a deep breath and looked at Dugu Bo's back in front of her, the confusion in her eyes vanished.
Instead, their fighting spirit burned even brighter!
For her grandfather's sake and for the sake of her family, Dugu Yan was determined to obtain the position of the Sea God!
"Let's go, the treasure trove is just ahead."
Yu Nan reminded him.
Dugu Yan nodded vigorously and quickly followed.
As the heavy stone door slowly opened, an old yet luxurious atmosphere wafted out.
Inside the royal treasury, everything was resplendent with gold and glittering with jewels.
Various rare gems, precious herbs, and unknown minerals were piled up like mountains, and even a few low-age soul bones emitting faint soul power fluctuations were casually placed on the shelves.
But in the eyes of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, these treasures, which would drive ordinary soul masters crazy, seemed utterly tasteless at this moment.
Their goal is singular—the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
"Senior, where are you?"
Dugu Bo appeared to be casually looking around, but in reality, he was asking an urgent question in his spiritual sea.
"The third shelf, the innermost shelf, right in the middle."
Yu Nan's voice was languid, as if he were full of disdain for these so-called "treasures" around him.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo calmly led Dugu Yan and Xue Qinghe straight up to the third floor.
Soon, the blue triangular object that had been shelved came into view.
It lay quietly in an inconspicuous corner, its entire body displaying a strange, crystalline blue color.
Although it was only the size of a palm, it emanated a faint yet unsettling energy fluctuation.
"This is..."
Dugu Bo feigned surprise and stopped, pointing at the blue triangular object and asking:
"Your Highness, this object has a peculiar shape. May I ask what kind of treasure it is?"
Xue Qinghe followed his finger, a barely perceptible hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, before he smiled and said:
"Mr. Dugu has a good eye."
This item is called the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, and it is one of the national treasures of my Heavenly Dou Empire.
Legend has it that it possesses incredible power, but for hundreds of years, no one in the royal family has ever been able to truly unravel its mysteries.
Aside from being incredibly hard and able to block some mental probes, it seems to have no other significant use; it's merely decorative.
In Xue Qinghe's opinion, this thing was just a useless trifle.
It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away.
If it hadn't been passed down from my ancestors, it would have been thrown into a corner of the warehouse to gather dust long ago.
"oh?
Even the royal family can't figure it out?
A glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. Feigning great interest, he reached out and picked up the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
He played with it in his hands:
"I have always enjoyed studying these strange and unusual things."
Since this thing is an unwanted 'vase,' then I'll take it and use it as a decoration to look at from time to time."
Xue Qinghe chuckled inwardly at the old poisoner's lack of discernment, choosing a broken shield over a perfectly good soul bone.
But on the surface, he nodded very generously and said:
"Since you like it, then take it."
As you said, a treasure is bestowed upon a hero; perhaps this vast universe, now in your hands, can regain its former glory.
It's no wonder that Qian Renxue (Xue Qinghe) didn't understand.
Because a few years ago.
Qian Renxue then attempted to explore the secrets of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
But I couldn't see anything.
Subconsciously, they thought that the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was just a pretty but useless vase.
"Then thank you very much, Your Highness."
Dugu Bo chuckled and unceremoniously stored the Vast Ocean Universe Cover into his soul tool.
Within the sea of spirit, Yu Nan sensed the aura of the sea god, and his dragon soul couldn't help but tremble slightly, letting out a joyful low groan:
"good!
It came to me without any effort!
These blind fools actually treat the Heart of the Sea God as a decoration!
"Yanyan, this is the most solid step you've taken on your path to godhood!"
Having obtained the most crucial treasure, both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan felt much more relaxed.
They then began to randomly select two more treasures from the vault.
Yu Nan had already lost interest in the rest and was preparing to return to the depths of the Sea of Spirit for a nap.
However.
Just as Dugu Bo casually flipped open a dusty parchment scroll...
Yu Nan's gaze inadvertently swept over the densely packed ancient characters on it.
The next second.
boom!
It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in Yu Nan's mind!
His enormous dragon soul trembled violently, and his entire body (dragon) froze, revealing an extremely incredulous expression in his eyes!
"etc!"
Yu Nan's voice suddenly rose in pitch, exploding in Dugu Bo's mind:
"Old poisoner! Don't move!"
Hold onto that lousy map in your hand tightly!
Look closely at the words above!
