Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 285: Look at Me, I Have Great News!

In the divine realm, apart from the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, no other gods knew that these two divine kings had already chosen their successors for their divine positions. Du Qianjue still didn't understand why the God of Destruction would choose to pass on his divine position. Wasn't he focused on strengthening the divine realm?

(The God of Destruction thought: If I could nurture a successor of the Creator God level, that would truly strengthen the divine realm. It's not just because I want to play dad!)

But all that is unimportant.

Thanks must still be given to the God of Destruction. Otherwise, Du Qianjue would never have imagined that becoming a god on his own would take centuries. He certainly didn't want Tang San to keep causing trouble. Assuming the two divine positions seemed to be the best option—certainly better than hanging around as a lackey all his life and only reaching the status of a god of emotions.

Upon returning to his body, the first thing Du Qianjue did was immerse his consciousness in the Sea of Spirits to share the good news with the adorable soul beasts that had helped him along the way. Following him was supposed to grant them eternal life, right? Now that he had inherited the divine position, it was naturally time to make them happy as well!

"Wake up, everyone, wake up!" Du Qianjue said with a laugh, stirring up the golden waters of the Sea of Spirits, waking up many of the sleeping soul beasts.

The Skydream Iceworm was the first to awaken.

"Ah... that was a nice sleep. Duojue, why did you wake us up all of a sudden? Is a new friend joining us?" The Skydream Iceworm yawned sleepily, asking in a lazy tone.

Ice Emperor, Xiaobai, Ice Ling, Saint Heart...

Many soul beasts woke from their slumber, curiously looking at the consciousness formed by Du Qianjue's spiritual power.

"No, I've come to share some good news," Du Qianjue said with a smile, shaking his head mysteriously. "Do you want to guess first? There's a reward for guessing correctly."

The soul beasts looked at each other.

The Ice Emperor, transformed into a haughty young girl, reluctantly flicked her tail and complained, "Just tell us, Duojue. How would we know what the good news is?"

"Be patient, Ice Sister. Guessing won't hurt," Saint Heart said with a charming smile, playfully holding Ice Emperor's hand.

In appearance, the Ice Emperor looked like an eighteen-year-old high school girl with a haughty demeanor, while Saint Heart looked like an elegant lady in her late twenties. However, the Ice Emperor was actually older than Saint Heart, who respectfully called her 'sister.' The scene was quite bizarre.

But Du Qianjue felt the only odd one out, as the other soul beasts were used to it.

"Good news..." Ice Ling frowned slightly, her tone uncertain, "Could it be, Duojue, that you're about to become a god?"

"That seems like the only good news relevant to us."

"Don't be silly, Qianjue hasn't even obtained his ninth soul ring yet. How could he become a god so quickly?" The Skydream Iceworm rolled its eyes, twisting its massive body. (God knows how a caterpillar rolls its eyes.)

"Then you tell us, what's the good news?" Ice Ling asked somewhat defiantly.

The Skydream Iceworm grinned mischievously at Du Qianjue: "Couldn't it be that Qianjue is going to marry the Snow Emperor? That would be truly good news."

At these words, the Ice Emperor exploded in anger.

"No! Xue'er is mine, mine!!!"

It hurts, it really hurts!

"Ice Sister, give it up. You and the Snow Emperor are both females; you have no future together!" the Red Dragon said sympathetically, patting the Ice Emperor's shoulder.

"What do you know? Female is true love!" The Ice Emperor glared fiercely at the Red Dragon and then struck the Skydream Iceworm with her tail, sending the poor creature flying.

"That'll teach you to spout nonsense and talk too much!"

The Skydream Iceworm screamed as the Ice Emperor's tail sent it flying to the edge of the Sea of Spirits.

"But what Dream Brother said makes some sense!" Ice Empress pondered thoughtfully, touching her chin. Her ice-blue eyes turned towards Qianjue, who was smiling silently.

The Ice Emperor also looked instinctively at Qianjue. Seeing his teasing expression, she couldn't hold back any longer, and her entire form seemed to lose spirit.

"No, no!!" The Ice Emperor collapsed in tears.

Du Qianjue grinned.

It was always weird having a female pheromone chasing after his wife. How could he not take the opportunity to jab at the Ice Emperor's heart? He definitely didn't want the Ice Emperor popping out from under the bed on his wedding night with Xueling!

"Alright, Duojue, stop teasing us. Just tell us!" The Skydream Iceworm transformed into a human form, coming over to put an arm around Poison Douluo's shoulder.

Du Qianjue didn't keep playing the riddler, getting straight to the point: "Ice Ling was actually not wrong. Although I'm not becoming a god immediately, I've already received the inheritance of the divine position. As long as I complete the divine trials, I can become a god directly."

"Your long-cherished wish for immortality is no longer just a fleeting dream!"

Silence fell.

Three, two, one...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

"Woohoo!!!"

"That's great, we don't have to die!"

"I can become an immortal god too!!"

The soul beasts cried and laughed, freely expressing their emotions in the Sea of Spirits.

Especially the Skydream Iceworm, the earliest to follow Poison Douluo, witnessed his growth from a weak one-ringed soul master to later dominating the entire Douluo Continent, and now on the verge of godhood. He was the soul beast that truly witnessed all of Poison Douluo's hardships!

Other soul beasts had similar sentiments, having sacrificed themselves to Poison Douluo, holding hope he would eventually become a god, yet somewhat uncertain about the future.

All they could do was silently support Poison Douluo, smoothing his path and watching him reach the pinnacle from within the Sea of Spirits.

The Golden Dragon Girl also woke up.

She was the calmest and quietest among all the soul beasts, not because she anticipated Poison Douluo's godhood but because she had joined only recently and hadn't yet bonded with the others.

Her relaxed expression, however, showed that she was just as happy as the rest.

"Thank you, Duojue, for showing us the future!" The Skydream Iceworm wiped the tears from its eyes and embraced Du Qianjue firmly.

Then came the Ice Emperor, Vine Sister, Ice Ling, Red Dragon, Saint Heart...

Each soul beast hugged Du Qianjue tightly.

"I knew I wasn't wrong about you!" The Ice Emperor, with tearful eyes, embraced Du Qianjue firmly.

"Ha ha ha, I knew Dad would lead us to eternal life!" Xiaobai, the plump Ice Bear King, also jubilantly hugged Poison Douluo.

Finally, it was the Golden Dragon Girl's turn.

"I... do I get one too?" The Golden Dragon Girl pointed at herself uncertainly, looking a bit awkward.

"Come on, it's just a way to express emotions, don't be shy!" Red Dragon laughed, pushing the blushing Golden Dragon Girl towards Du Qianjue.

Du Qianjue didn't say much, simply smiling and giving her a quick hug before parting.
