Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Douluo Continent, the 100th year of the Holy Emperor Calendar.

This is a year of global celebration, but also a year filled with the sorrow of parting.

For a century, under the rule of the Holy Emperor Hu Bai, the Douluo Continent had already entered the rudiments of a god-level civilization. Soul guidance technology was highly advanced, powerful Soul Masters emerged in large numbers, and the people lived in peace and prosperity.

The top of the Star Gazing Tower at the Holy Emperor Palace.

Hu Bai stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the land he had protected for a hundred years. Although the years had not left any marks on his face, his eyes revealed a sense of relief at his impending departure.

"Husband."

Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena walked over slowly and took his arm on each side.

"Is the God of Destruction from the God Realm... coming to urge us again?" Qian Renxue asked softly.

Hu Bai nodded with a wry smile and took out a communication talisman that emitted a purplish-black light. The talisman was flashing incessantly, clearly indicating that the person on the other end was impatient.

"Yeah, Brother Destruction is getting really angry. He says he's working overtime every day in the God Realm, while I'm enjoying a warm bed with my wife and kids in the mortal world. It's so unfair."

Hu Bai put away the talisman, looked up at the sky, and his expression became serious.

"When I became a god, I made a hundred-year pact with the God of Destruction and the God Realm Committee. It allowed me to linger in the mortal realm for a hundred years, to handle worldly affairs, accompany my family, and consolidate the foundation of the plane."

"Now, the century-long period has come to an end."

"I am the God of Destiny, and my word is law. If I myself lead the way in breaking the contract, how will I be able to rule the gods in the future? The rules of the divine realm must be upheld."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly: "It is indeed time to go. Although Father, Mother, and Grandfather can also cultivate in the lower realm, the environment is not as good as that in the God Realm. The sooner we go up, the sooner we can enjoy eternal bliss."

"But..." A hint of reluctance flashed in Hu Bai's eyes, "I really can't rest easy about those two girls."

……

That evening, a family banquet was held at the Holy Emperor Palace.

Those who can sit here are all the most outstanding "divine couples" and elders on this continent.

Hu Bai, Qian Renxue, and Gu Yuena sat in the main seats, with Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Xie Tian and his wife, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and other powerful figures who were about to ascend to immortality below them.

At the very end sat two stunningly beautiful women: Princess Hu Nuannuan, dressed in a golden-red imperial robe, exuding a powerful aura like the blazing sun; and Princess Hu Nuonuo, dressed in a silver-white gauze dress, radiating a cool and aloof elegance like the moon.

After several rounds of drinks, Hu Bai coughed lightly, and the hall fell silent instantly.

"Everyone, the hundred-year period has arrived. I have made a pact with the divine realm that in seven days, we will all ascend to the divine realm."

Hu Bai looked at his two daughters with gentle eyes: "Nuan Nuan, Nuo Nuo, you two go and get ready too. When we get to the God Realm, Daddy has prepared the best divine palace for you, and lots of fun things too..."

"Daddy."

Hu Nuannuan suddenly stood up, interrupting Hu Bai.

"What's wrong?" Hu Bai was taken aback, a bad feeling suddenly welling up in his heart.

“Daddy, Mommy, and all the elders,” Nuannuan raised her head, her gaze firm, “Nuonuo and I have discussed it. We… won’t leave.”

"what?!"

The whole audience was shocked.

Hu Bai stood up abruptly: "Not leaving? Why? If you go to the God Realm, you can live forever, and you can cultivate much faster."

“We know.” Nuan Nuan took a deep breath, her voice firm and strong, “But that’s precisely why we can’t leave.”

She pointed to everyone present: "Daddy, look, this time when we ascend to immortality, our grandmaster is leaving, our aunt is leaving, our uncle is leaving, and even the grandfathers in the Hall of Worship are leaving."

"If we also leave, who will protect this vast empire?"

"Although the empire is prosperous, undercurrents have never ceased. If all the god-level powerhouses were to disappear overnight, the empire would surely descend into chaos! That is your century of hard work, Father, and the faith of countless people."

Nuonuo also spoke up, her voice soft yet carrying an undeniable calmness: "Besides, Daddy, we don't want to be little birds hiding under your wings forever. We are the daughters of the Holy Emperor, with the strongest bloodline flowing through our veins."

"We want to prove ourselves as gods in this mortal realm through our own efforts, and then ascend to you in a dignified manner."

“If we go up with you now, we’ll probably never be able to surpass your glory in our lifetime.”

There was dead silence in the hall.

Bibi Dong looked at the two children, her eyes filled with amazement and admiration: "Excellent! What spirit! No wonder they are Xiao Bai's daughters!"

Hu Liena's eyes also reddened. She went over and hugged her two nieces: "Nuannuan, Nuonuo, your aunt has not spoiled you for nothing. Are you really sure? You'll suffer a lot in the lower realm."

Hu Bai, however, looked like an abandoned old father, his face filled with conflict and grievance.

"But...but..." Hu Bai was so anxious he paced back and forth.

He's a doting father, so he's a little reluctant to leave his daughter in the mortal realm.

Although his daughter has now grown up and is quite powerful.

If these two little ones hadn't wanted to try creating their own divine positions, they could have already become gods.

Qian Renxue found her husband's appearance both amusing and heartbreaking. She stepped forward and took Hu Bai's hand: "Xiao Bai, let go. Our daughters have grown up; they have their own paths to walk."

Gu Yuena nodded and said, "Their current strength is at the peak of level 99, and they wield divine artifacts. In this lower realm, besides us, who can hurt them? It's good for them to gain some experience."

Hu Bai looked at his two daughters' stubborn eyes, and after a long while, he sighed.

"Sigh... daughters really are hard to keep at home once they grow up."

He stepped forward, squatted down, and hugged his two daughters tightly.

"Okay, Daddy promises you, you can stay."

“But!” Hu Bai’s tone shifted abruptly, his expression becoming extremely serious. “I have conditions.”

……

For the next seven days, Hu Bai did not handle government affairs, but focused on doing one thing: giving his daughters "superpowers".

Inside the treasury of the Holy Emperor's Palace.

"Nuan Nuan, you are the older sister, and you will be the Empress in the future. This Holy Radiance Sun Sword (a divine artifact of light) is for you. I have blessed it with the essence of destiny, but every strike carries the effects of 'guaranteed hit' and 'judgment'. Anyone who dares to rebel will be cut down on the spot!"

"Nuonuo, you have a mild temperament and don't like fighting. Here, take this Nine-Colored Mountain-Suppressing Xuanhuang Cauldron (an earth-based divine artifact). It provides invincible defense and has an instant teleportation function. If you encounter danger, just run away; there's no shame in that!"

Over the years, the elemental artifacts that Hu Bai possessed have all been upgraded from their original divine artifact status to super divine artifact status through the nurturing of his divine power.

"and this……"

Hu Bai handed each of them a jade talisman of destiny.

"My full power is sealed inside. Remember, it can only be used in a life-or-death situation. If you break it, your father will come down to the mortal realm to find you no matter what!"

Seeing Hu Bai spend almost all of his savings, Nuannuan and Nuonuo were moved to tears, but at the same time, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Daddy... that's enough... we're going to govern the country, not destroy the world..."

Finally, Hu Bai summoned the God of Darkness, Di Tian, ​​over.

"Di Tian, ​​although you have become a god, I will allow you to leave behind a dark god avatar in the mortal realm, possessing god-level combat power."

"Make the distraction obey Nuannuan and Nuonuo's orders. If anyone dares to bully the weak, beat them to death!"

Di Tian knelt on one knee: "Your subordinate obeys! I swear to protect the two young masters with my life!"

……

Seven days later.

Wuhun City, Tongtian Platform.

On this day, the streets were deserted as everyone knelt on the ground, gazing up at the gods on the Heavenly Terrace.

Hu Nuannuan, dressed in an empress's dragon robe and wearing an imperial crown, stood below the stage. Hu Nuonuo stood beside her, still as aloof and ethereal as ever.

On the platform, Hu Bai, accompanied by his retinue of gods, prepared to ascend to heaven.

"The time has come; fulfill your promise and ascend!"     Hu Bai's destiny seal lit up between his eyebrows, and he pointed it toward the sky.

Rumble!
The sky split open, nine-colored auspicious clouds paved the way, and a magnificent gate to the divine realm slowly opened. Vast celestial energy poured in, making the entire holy capital resemble a fairyland.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to His Majesty the Holy Emperor! Respectfully bidding farewell to all the gods!"

Millions shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Hu Bai stood in front of the Heavenly Gate and turned back one last time.

His gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on his two daughters.

"Nuan Nuan, Nuo Nuo, Daddy's gone."

"Remember, don't overwork yourself. If being an emperor isn't fun, just hand it over to someone else and ascend to heaven to find us."

"Daddy is in heaven, paving the way for you."

Holding back her tears, Nuannuan raised the divine sword in her hand and shouted, "Father, rest assured! Your daughter will live up to the name of the Holy Emperor! I will protect this vast land!"

Nuonuo waved and mouthed, "Daddy, wait for me."

Hu Bai smiled with relief, then turned and took the hands of Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena.

"Come on, go home."

There was a flash of light.

Hu Bai, Qian Renxue, Gu Yuena, Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Qian Daoliu, Jin E, Xie Tian and his wife...

This group of legendary figures who created a century of glory for the Douluo Continent stepped into the Heavenly Gate and disappeared into the clouds.

The Heavenly Gate slowly closed, and the auspicious clouds dispersed.

……

Silence lingered for a long time beneath the Tongtian Terrace.

After a long while, Hu Nuannuan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze becoming sharper than ever before.

She turned around, facing the civil and military officials, and the people of the world.

An aura of imperial power, belonging to the peak of level ninety-nine and possessing a divine martial soul, was released without reservation.

"The Holy Emperor has ascended to heaven; may the gods bless our dynasty!"

"I, Hu Nuannuan, ascend the throne today!"

"By imperial decree: all laws shall remain unchanged! I will carry on the legacy of the Holy Emperor and protect our Holy Dynasty for ten thousand generations!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Behind her, Hu Nuonuo yawned, gently turning the space cube in her hand, and murmured, "My sister is responsible for being beautiful and governing the country, and I'm responsible for... sending those disobedient guys into another dimension."

Above the clouds.

Hu Bai, who had just entered the realm of gods, saw this scene through the Heavenly Mirror and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Destruction, I have returned."

Hu Bai turned to look at the God of Destruction who had been waiting for a long time, a helpless smile appearing on his lips.

……

Beside Hu Bai, however, followed closely by a beautiful figure in pink and blue.

She has long, wavy, light blue hair, stunning beauty, and a natural air of heroism and wildness.

She gripped a golden dragon spear tightly in her hand. Although her aura was powerful, reaching level 100, she did not possess any divine halo.

She is Wang Qiu'er.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, once the emperor-like auspicious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Since she took human form and followed Hu Bai, she has become Hu Bai's most loyal "little tail".

Although she doesn't talk much, her Golden Dragon Spear will show no mercy to anyone who dares to harm Hu Bai.

"Qiu'er."

Hu Bai stopped and turned to look at the stubborn girl beside him.

"Everyone else has become a god, everyone has a divine position, aren't you in a hurry?"

Wang Qiu'er raised her head, her bright eyes reflecting only Hu Bai's image. She shook her head. "I'm not in a hurry. As long as I can follow you, it doesn't matter whether I have a divine position or not."

Then, Wang Qiu'er smiled mischievously: "When the time comes, let me be your and the master's maid. I can do that too, hehe."

Hu Bai chuckled and reached out to gently pinch her nose. "You are an imperial auspicious beast, an existence that embodies the fortune of heaven and earth. How could I bear to let you be my maid?"

Hu Bai looked at the approaching gate to the divine realm ahead, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Actually, I've already thought about this for you."

“Although I have many divine positions, I gave the Earth God to my second grandfather, the Space God to my father… The remaining Fire, Water, Wind, and Thunder, although all are first-level gods, are not worthy of your status, and apart from the Fire God position, the other divine positions do not match your attributes.”

"You are of the Golden Dragon bloodline, possessing ultimate power; you are also an auspicious beast, controlling good fortune and misfortune."

"None of the existing divine positions in this world are suitable for you."

……

The realm of gods, the Temple of Destiny.

Having just returned to the realm of gods, Hu Bai, after witnessing the destruction, brought Wang Qiu'er to the "Well of Destiny" at the deepest part of the temple.

This is the core of Hu Bai's divine power, where the laws of destiny flow with visible force.

"Qiu'er, stand in there." Hu Bai pointed to the lotus platform in the center of the well.

Without any hesitation, Wang Qiu'er leaped and landed steadily on the lotus platform. The golden dragon spear stood upright beside her, emitting a resounding dragon roar.

Hu Bai stood by the well, his expression solemn.

"Qiu'er, your true form is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and you are born with the attribute of the power of destiny. In this respect, you and I are most compatible."

"I am the God of Destiny, in charge of the cause, effect, reincarnation, and destiny of all things in the world."

"And you, I hope you become an auspicious omen."

“Auspicious omens are the light of destiny. They bring good fortune, bestow blessings, and avert disasters.”

The Destiny Seal between Hu Bai's eyebrows suddenly lit up, and he slowly drew out a silver-gray primordial divine power.

This divine power is different from other domineering ones; it is full of gentleness and vitality, as if it can soothe all wounds in the world.

"Today, I will help you create your own divine position!"

"Borrow my destiny's essence, draw upon your auspicious beast's fortune, and combine with the ultimate power of the golden dragon."

"Bestowed title! First-class deity: God of Auspiciousness!"

With a soft shout, Hu Bai channeled his primordial divine power into a streak of light, which shot straight toward Wang Qiu'er's brow, the very spot where her original "Eye of Destiny" was located.

"hold head high!!!"

As divine power was infused into her, Wang Qiu'er looked up to the sky and roared.

boom!
A dazzling golden light erupted from her body, instantly illuminating the entire Temple of Destiny and even shining through the temple onto the heavens above the divine realm.

Within the golden light, Wang Qiu'er's figure changed.
