While writing a diary in Douluo Continent, a female character relentlessly pursues him.

Su Ye gave a brief explanation, while also expressing some curiosity: it's been a while, why hasn't Old Deng returned yet?

Could it be that they've run into trouble?

Probably not.

Su Ye shook her head, denying the conjecture. Old Deng was trembling fiercely now; Star Dou Great Forest might still stumble, but Sunset Forest definitely wouldn't.

I guess he's addicted to watching movies?

Just as he was thinking this, a whooshing sound suddenly rang in his ears. Su Ye looked up and saw a streak of azure light rushing towards him.

"Good lad, your skills are truly impressive!"

Before the two could ask, Dugu Bo grabbed his granddaughter and sped off into the depths again.

Su Ye was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what this was all about, but he didn't slow down.

With the wings of the void unfolding on his back, his figure transformed into a streak of light and instantly followed.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment. What was going on?

Honestly, she was completely dumbfounded.

With a "whoosh," my eyes blurred, and then I was flying.

Not to mention her, Su Ye was also puzzled. What was in the depths that made them so anxious?

Meeting the questioning gazes of the two, Dugu Bo wore a faint smile on his old face, looking "unfathomable".

"You'll see when we get there. Don't worry, it's a good thing."

Since telling him not to speak was a good thing, Su Ye and Dugu Yan suppressed their curiosity and said no more.

Not long after.

When the three arrived at a secluded valley where rocks were piled up like mountains, Su Ye and Dugu Yan were immediately stunned.

"This...this is..."

Dugu Yan's small mouth was slightly open, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and shock.

Su Ye finally understood what the "good thing" Old Deng was talking about, and a glint of light appeared in her eyes.

Lying paralyzed in the secluded valley was a soul beast, seven zhang long, resembling a giant, ancient rock-scaled beast.

Its body is robust and sturdy, covered with a layer of ancient, bluish-gray rock scales, the scales thick and layered, like the earth's rock strata solidified over thousands of years.

Three arched ridges rise from its back, and its overall lines are calm and dignified, without sharp spikes, poisonous patterns, or strange phenomena.

Its limbs were short and thick, its feet were firmly planted in the ground, its tail was thick and powerful, and its whole body exuded a terrifying aura.

"This soul beast failed to forcefully attack for 100,000 years, and its vitality is rapidly depleting. I have already 'made a deal' with it, and I will offer it as a sacrifice to you later."

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, his voice calm, as if he were recounting a trivial matter.

However, Dugu Yan was not calm upon hearing this. A soul beast that was nearly 100,000 years old? And it agreed to offer itself as a sacrifice?

This is a lot of information!

Seeing the adoring look in his granddaughter's eyes, Dugu Bo felt relieved.

His efforts to suppress his excitement were worthwhile; look, this display of divine power was a great success.

Su Ye glanced at the soul beast, which was as big as a small mountain, and then at the cubs not far away. He could roughly guess how the old man had persuaded the other party.

He naturally had no objection to this; on the contrary, he thought to himself, "Well done!"

Originally, he only intended to get any soul beast with a value of around 90,000, but if there was something better, that would be the best.

Especially for soul beasts that are nearly 100,000 years old, sacrificing them could very likely propel them to the 100,000-year level in one fell swoop.

Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. After this soul beast sacrifice that exceeds his own limits, his soul power will definitely be pushed up again, saving him some cultivation time.

"Grandpa, this is such a pleasant surprise!"

Su Ye generously offered her emotional value, which made Dugu Bo's smile even more unrestrained.

It hasn't been easy. I've been constantly shocked and impressed by this kid all this time. Now it's finally my turn to shine!

"Roar!"

The soul beast let out a soft roar, glanced at Dugu Bo, then at Su Ye beside him, its eyes filled with a questioning look.

Dugu Bo seemed to understand what the other party wanted to express, nodded slightly, and then led Dugu Yan back.

"Let's begin!"

As the two stepped back, the soul beast turned its gaze to Su Ye, a hint of resentment and struggle flashing in its eyes.

Offering a sacrifice to a human child is undoubtedly a betrayal of one's race and an insult to oneself.

If it could, it certainly wouldn't, and it would rather self-destruct than let humanity benefit from it.

Unfortunately, the circumstances didn't allow it!

That old guy has no sense of martial ethics; he actually threatened it with a few children. What could it do?

It's desperate too, isn't it?!

"Ugh!"

With a sigh in its heart, it stopped thinking and used the last bit of its remaining primal power to suddenly unleash a soft yet heavy azure-silver halo around its body.

The cracked soul core slowly melted within its body, and the primal power accumulated over nearly 100,000 years spread out along its body, transforming into warm ribbons of light that gently entwined around Su Ye.

There was no disturbance of heaven and earth, no ferocious beasts to disturb him, only the pure essence of the soul beasts, following the oldest sacrificial law of the Douluo Continent, surging towards Su Ye without reservation.

Its enormous body gradually became transparent in the halo of light, and the peeled-off rock scales turned into specks of light and dissipated.

As the last trace of its essence flowed into Su Ye's body, the giant beast's body completely transformed into countless blue and silver light spots, which were then completely integrated into his soul ring.

A black and red soul ring slowly rose from beneath Su Ye's feet, hovering quietly and exuding a calm yet powerful aura.

"Level 65!"

Feeling the surge of soul power within his body, Su Ye revealed a satisfied smile.

It's already quite impressive that a soul beast less than 100,000 years old could help him reach level 65. After all, in the original story, Xiao Wu sacrificed herself for Tang San, and Tang San reached the same level.

Of course, this doesn't mean that this soul beast can compare to Xiao Wu, and Tang San's soul power quality is far inferior to hers.

The main reason is that he was already above level 60, it just hadn't been shown before.

If you remove all that accumulated stuff, he estimates that even level 63 would be enough to make him choke.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Another bombshell dropped! The price of becoming a god?!

Prince's Mansion.

The comfortable and luxurious room was silent. Qian Renxue stared blankly out the window, motionless.

This pose has been maintained for a long time, like a sculpture.

There was so much information in her diary today; she needs to process it all.

Furthermore, she was also conflicted about her future plans.

Continue going undercover?

It doesn't seem necessary.

The future belongs to the gods; only those with the greatest personal power will have a voice.

A secular army? Imperial power and hegemony?

It's all just dust.

Logically speaking, having seen through this, she should have immediately returned to the Spirit Hall to receive the divine succession and become a god as soon as possible.

But the sunk costs were too high, and she was unwilling to give up her decade-long research.

And she will inevitably see that woman when she gets back, and she really doesn't know how to face her now.

"Ugh!"

She was confused, and she desperately wanted someone to tell her firmly what to do.

"Little Lord!"

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the porcupine doro suddenly came from outside the door.

Qian Renxue snapped out of her daze, looked towards the door, and asked in a calm voice, revealing no sign of anything amiss: "What is it?"

"Young Master, Su Ye has appeared, together with Dugu Bo."

Su Ye?

Qian Renxue's eyes flickered for a moment, then brightened as she asked, "Where is he?"

"They just entered the city not long ago, and it seems they're going to Dugu Bo's residence."

“Dugu Manor…” Qian Renxue immediately thought of that little poison girl, Dugu Yan, and her initial joy and excitement instantly turned into displeasure.

Immediately, a sense of urgency arose in my heart.

These two are developing their relationship too fast. Will they cause a death in a while?

No! Absolutely not!

Even if it's going to result in someone dying, it has to be with...

Qian Renxue's eyes were deep and resolute as she immediately got up and went out.

"Young Master, what's wrong...?"

Outside the door, the Porcupine Douluo looked at his young master, who was exuding an aura of power, with some surprise.

"To the Dugu residence!"

"Huh? It's already so late, how about..."

The Porcupine Douluo was even more surprised. He knew that the young master cared about that kid named Su Ye, but this was too much!

Moreover, this doesn't look like they're recruiting geniuses at all; it looks more like they're catching a mistress...

Qianren Xueli ignored the porcupine and walked away without looking back.

晚？

It's precisely because it's late that we should go.

…………

The Dugu Manor!

Inside a charming and girly room, Su Ye looked around, occasionally marveling at what she saw.

Who knew that Little Yan Yan also has a girlish heart? This doesn't quite match her appearance.

"What are you wandering around for? It's late, you should rest!"

Dugu Yan leaned against the edge of the bed, beckoned to Su Ye, and invited him in a charming manner.

Although she was traumatized by Su Ye's strength, it did not stop her from volunteering for the fight.

At worst, I'll just have to beg for mercy later.

Seeing this, Su Ye raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you're pretty brave!"

It has personality, I like that!

"Okay, it's time to take a break..."

"Boom boom boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss, Master, His Highness the Crown Prince is here! He says he's looking for you, Master!"

Upon hearing the servant's words, the expressions of the two people in the room changed slightly.
