Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

Golden light bloomed from Luo Yu's forehead.

Everyone heard the amiable and benevolent voice of the elderly man.

For a moment, they all stopped speaking and just stood there in stunned silence.

Eyes wide with shock.

Because the previous battle in the universe had been watched by all.

Naturally, they knew where those many powerful beings had come from.

Luo Yu quickly bowed in respect.

"I humbly welcome the elder from Huaxia."

"Hahaha, today this old Daoist will have the thick-skinned honor of being your wedding officiant."

Brilliance erupted, and the elder with white hair and beard stepped out from the golden vortex in Luo Yu's forehead—this time, the Green Ox did not appear.

The Venerable Sovereign raised his hand towards the void, lifting Luo Yu from his bow, and said, "Young man, our spirit projections have used much energy. But that's not important—there are urgent matters they have to attend to, so it's only this old Daoist who has come."

Luo Yu replied with a humble smile:

"Knowing that all the seniors have important affairs, I already feel greatly honored by your lone presence. I cannot thank you enough."

The Venerable Sovereign shook his head.

"To speak of gratitude is to treat me as an outsider."

"You are a descendant of Huaxia, how can there be no one to witness on your wedding day?"

"Enough now. We are all family here. There's no need for formalities. Won't you invite me to take a seat?"

Luo Yu glanced upwards.

For a moment, he became slightly flustered.

After all, this was his first marriage, and without any experience, he was somewhat nervous.

Initially, he hadn't anticipated any elders from his side to attend, so no extra seats had been prepared.

But arranging it now was not a problem.

The main concern was where to place the Venerable Sovereign appropriately?

He had thought to seat the Venerable Sovereign in the same row as Ning Fengzhi and the other elders from the bride's side.

But he hesitated.

After all, what sort of personage was Lord Laozi? In Huaxia legends, he was of the peak echelon.

Seated upon the ninth heaven, would it be disrespectful to sit him in the same row with ordinary people?

Just when Luo Yu wavered for an instant, the Venerable Sovereign chuckled lightly.

"Young fellow, this old Daoist will just sit with the elders of your little girlfriends."

He took a step forward; although the distance was small, he instantly appeared at the higher location.

With a movement of his hand and foot, he displayed the Great Divine Power of Shrinking Earth into Inches, and the moment he sat down, a seat appeared beneath him, no different from those of Ning Fengzhi and the others.

The crowd of onlookers let out exclamations of surprise.

Shrinking Earth into Inches was already astonishing to them, but the ability to create matter from the void left them awestruck.

Realizing that Luo Yu, who had already shown outrageous and boundless power, was backed by such a formidable existence, they didn't know what to say for a while.

No, not just one formidable existence.

A group of them!

Ning Fengzhi, the Snow Night Emperor, Tang Chen, Yu Yuanzhen, and many other elders from the bride's side, now started to feel uneasy.

Their status and positions compared to the one sitting beside them—there was no comparison at all.

Although the Venerable Sovereign appeared kindly and approachable, with no hint of his power being displayed, as benign as an elderly neighbor, it still made their hearts rise to their throats.

It couldn't be helped; when there's a huge disparity in strength, just being together can unconsciously create such feelings.

Even if the other party had no intention of harming them.

At the moment when Ning Fengzhi and the others were tense, the Venerable Sovereign flicked the whisk in his embrace.

"There's no need to mind this old Daoist. I am merely Luo Yu's unremarkable elder."

"The wedding ceremony can officially proceed now."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyelids twitched and the corners of their mouths spasmed.

Unremarkable?

However, inexplicably, with the flick of the old Daoist's whisk, it seemed as if a power emerged, able to soothe the soul.

All the awkwardness and restlessness in everyone's hearts disappeared without a trace, leaving only a sense of heartfelt joy and tranquility.

Some people who had suffered from chronic ailments in their early years suddenly recovered, sweeping away their lingering illnesses at a rapid pace.

This made everyone hold The Venerable Sovereign in even higher esteem.

They wanted to thank him in unison, but seeing that The Venerable Sovereign didn't seem to care, they remained silent.

After all, those who were able to attend Luo Yu's wedding today were influential figures from their younger days, none of whom was low in emotional intelligence.

It was obvious that The Venerable Sovereign was wholeheartedly supportive of Luo Yu without any intention of upstaging the host.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of firecrackers filled the sky, echoing through the clouds.

Across the major cities of Soul Land, grand fireworks blossomed, and even the World Tree shared its rich life energy.

Showering down endless radiance, it bestowed blessings upon the countless creatures of Soul Land.

It was a universal celebration.

"Majestic— "

In the sky, the Light Goddess Butterfly, the Emerald Blue Sky Swan, and such gorgeous soul beasts fluttered, enchanting to the soul, with an extraordinarily lavish lineup.

Under the host's direction.

Luo Yu and his wives together bowed to the esteemed elders seated on high.

Ning Fengzhi and others were filled with contentment and joy.

What could they possibly have against such a son-in-law? Peerless in looks, his strength was alarming to the ancient and dazzling to the present, his integrity echoed in the heavens, his character above reproach, with a backing impressively unshakable.

Except for being a bit lecherous...

Tang Chen's smile was full of satisfaction, his heart greatly comforted.

He felt happy for Tang Yuehua.

However, when he saw Bossi among them, his heart still suffered some divine sadness and loss, for she had been the goddess of their youth.

But this sadness was quickly let go.

Tang Chen felt that if he were a woman, he would also find it hard to find a reason to reject Luo Yu.

It was a harsh truth, but it seemed he couldn't compare to Luo Yu in any aspect, genuinely convinced and accepting.

Next to him, Qian Daoliu was completely devoid of Tang Chen's melancholy, his usually serious and dignified face now wreathed in smiles.

Day and night, he had been longing to ride on Luo Yu's coattails, and now at last his merit was complete.

As for his granddaughter?

Let's not even say she's now married to someone else.

Even before she got married, her heart probably didn't have room for her grandfather anymore.

Luo Yu bowed to the family heads of the brides, signifying that from now on, they would all be one family.

Ning Fengzhi, among others, also pulled out red envelopes they had prepared beforehand.

They represented the sentiment of the elders.

Although Luo Yu's current worth was beyond their reach, etiquette was etiquette, signifying a mood.

This close connection could not be measured in money.

When it was time for the brides to bow to The Venerable Sovereign, Luo Yu inwardly cried out in dismay.

Other elders all had their red envelopes ready, but surely The Venerable Sovereign wouldn't have any, which could lead to embarrassment.

However, it turned out he was worried for nothing.

Lord Laozi, seated high, watched the young and beautiful women bowing to him and chuckled as he stroked his beard:

"Good children, all good children, rise now," he said.

"From now on, we're all family."

The women rose slowly, and in their hearts, they felt immense gratitude towards the old senior who had saved Luo Yu.

Lord Laozi said with a smile:

"What about the red envelope? I came in such a hurry that I didn't prepare one."

Gu Yuena said, "We are all very happy just to have you here, whether for my husband or us, there's no need for a gift."

Lord Laozi shook his head.

"That wouldn't be right," he declared.

"This young man's homeland is a land of ceremonious customs, and what cannot be skimped on is etiquette."

He reached out his hand and stretched it toward the void, and the sky instantly became a canvas of red glow...
