Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

"The problem now is how to piece the broken divine positions back together?"

Ye Qi'an sat in the underwater palace, surrounded by the immortal energy released from the Divine Dragon Realm. His brows furrowed slightly as he pondered how to piece together the shattered angelic divine positions and bring back their successors.

The reason gods are gods is because they control unique divine laws and powerful sources of divine power, and the divine position is the core container and symbol of all of this. This shattered divine position is like a broken priceless treasure; each piece contains fragments of the power and laws of the former deity, and piecing them back together is by no means an easy task.

Moreover, the position of the Angel God was shattered on the Douluo Continent by her successor, Qian Renxue. After years of erosion and the aftermath of battles, the fragments have long been scattered and the energy has been severely dissipated.

"These are too fragmented!" Ye Qi'an frowned as he looked at the pile of tiny fragments of the angel's divine position, which resembled scattered stars, and sighed inwardly at the troublesome situation.

With such a degree of fragmentation, simply relying on conventional divine power to forcibly piece them together would likely only intensify the energy conflicts between the fragments, and might even cause the remaining fragments of the law to completely collapse.

"The Angel God wields the laws of light, holiness, and judgment. With the fall of the Angel God, the Asura God's authority to judge is strengthened. It's as if no matter how hard we try, we can't rebuild the authority to judge, unless a new authority is added. So let's add the opposite authority." Thinking of this, Ye Qi'an slowly raised his hand, and the power of the Dark Dragon King quietly emerged.

Yes, what he wanted to add to the angelic position was the law of darkness and corruption. To add the opposite law, the first thing to ensure was that the added law would not completely devour the original light and holy aura of the angelic position, but rather that it would blend with and counterbalance the angelic position.

Ye Qi'an concentrated his mind, transforming the power of the Dark Dragon King into wisps of light, like trickling streams, and carefully approached the fragment of the Angel God's throne.

As the forces of darkness seeped in, the fragments of the angelic throne began to shimmer with strange light, sometimes as bright as day, sometimes as dark as night, as if engaged in a silent battle.

Ye Qi'an's hands kept changing hand seals, trying to guide the two forces to find a balance point for harmonious coexistence. With each hand seal, there was a slight fluctuation of immortal spiritual energy. The power from the Divine Dragon Realm became his important reliance for stabilizing the situation.

Amidst the flickering and alternating light, a sliver of fusion suddenly appeared on a fragment. The forces of light and darkness intertwined and entwined on its surface, forming a unique texture, as if it were the prelude to the birth of a new law.

Ye Qi'an dared not relax upon seeing this, because this was only one piece among many fragments, and it would take a long time for all the fragments to achieve such fusion.

At the same time, he began to build a grander energy framework in his mind, trying to include all the fragments that were merging into it, and let them merge in accordance with unified rules within this framework, so as to ensure that the final divine position is a complete and stable whole, rather than a collection of energy that is forcibly pieced together.

Ye Qi'an continued to employ his exquisite fusion technique, and time quietly slipped away in the tense atmosphere. As more and more fragments began to show signs of fusion, he gradually discovered that a subtle resonance was emerging between these fused fragments.

Then, guiding this resonance, the fragments were drawn together slowly, as if by invisible threads. However, new problems arose. Due to the large number of fragments and their varying degrees of fusion, the energy connections between some fragments were disrupted during the approach, causing fluctuations in the entire fusion process.

Without hesitation, Ye Qi'an drew upon a purer form of immortal energy from the Divine Dragon Realm, transforming it into bridges to fill the gaps in the energy flow. Through his tireless efforts, the main outline of the Angelic Godhood gradually emerged. Although not yet fully formed, it already revealed a mysterious, dark aura amidst its former majesty and holiness.

Just as Ye Qi'an breathed a slight sigh of relief, the still unstable angelic divine position suddenly trembled violently, as if the old and new laws within were undergoing their final struggle and adjustment.

As the light flashed, the forces of darkness and light intertwined and collided, emitting a series of buzzing sounds that caused the entire underwater palace to tremble slightly.

"Silence!" Ye Qi'an roared, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He poured his divine power into the violently trembling angelic throne without reservation.

As divine power was continuously injected, the tremors of the divine position gradually subsided. Next, it was necessary to make fine adjustments to this initially formed divine position to ensure that every fragment and every strand of law power could be perfectly matched, truly becoming a complete divine position that could bear the successor.

He began to examine each of the fused nodes one by one, using his spiritual power to sense whether there were any subtle energy conflicts or unstable factors. He carefully used exquisite techniques to repair each small problem he found, striving to make the reassembled angelic position reappear in the world in the most perfect state. Only in this way could he possibly recall Qian Renxue, the inheritor.

Ye Qi'an focused intently on repairing the angelic throne, leaving no detail overlooked. Under his meticulous adjustments, the throne's light gradually stabilized, and the forces of darkness and light blended more harmoniously. The mysterious patterns seemed to contain endless secrets, emanating a subtle yet powerful aura within the underwater palace.

With the last trace of instability eliminated, the angelic divine position was finally revealed in its entirety. It retained its former light and holiness, but with the addition of the dark power of the Dark Dragon King, it also possessed the dual laws of darkness and corruption.

"The Holy Angel's divine position has finally been successfully reforged. Not only that, but with the blessing of the immortal energy, it has actually reached the level of a God-King." Ye Qi'an breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes filled with a mixture of relief and exhaustion.

Every step in rebuilding the divine throne was fraught with peril; the slightest misstep would have rendered all previous efforts futile. Now that the divine throne has reappeared, its powerful aura seems to have enveloped the entire underwater palace in a mysterious glow.

Ye Qi'an slowly stood up and withdrew the barrier he had set up. He saw that Di Tian and the others were still meditating with their eyes closed, absorbing and fusing the bloodline power of the Golden Dragon King.

"How is your absorption going?" Ye Qi'an asked in a deep voice.

Di Tian slowly opened his eyes, golden light flashing within them, and said, "My lord, I have absorbed and fused with most of it. The strength of my dragon body has increased significantly, and my control over the power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline has become increasingly proficient."

The Snow Empress, surrounded by a chilling aura, said softly, "Although my true form shows a tendency to transform into a dragon, I am gradually adapting to this new power, and the progress is acceptable."

The Demon King swayed his branch arm: "I have converted a lot of my bloodline power. The power of the runes and the power of the bloodline have merged together, greatly increasing my strength."

Brigitte's wings of light fluttered gently behind her: "The phoenix bloodline within me has awakened, and I also had unique insights when fusing with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. The absorption process is progressing well."

Xiong Jun said in a deep voice, "I feel full of energy. This bloodline power is amazing, and I'm absorbing it quite well."

Hyotei opened her eyes, which flashed with icy blue light: "With the help of the power of ice, my bloodline fusion is proceeding smoothly and is already showing initial results."

Zi Ji and Chi Wang said in unison, "We have cooperated with each other and absorbed a lot of bloodline power. The magic power and the bloodline power complement each other."

The golden light around the Demon Emperor dimmed slightly: "My Kunpeng bloodline shows signs of revival, and I have also absorbed a lot of the power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. I have gained quite a lot."

Ye Qi'an nodded slightly: "Very well. In that case, you two go back to your soul rings to continue strengthening them. I need to gather my strength to step into the River of Time and retrieve the souls of the two people."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian and the others rose and bowed, then transformed into streaks of light and entered Ye Qi'an's soul ring.

Lan Fuzi came to Ye Qi'an's side, gently tugging at his clothes with her small hand, her eyes full of worry, "Godfather, is the place you're going to very dangerous? Will something happen to you?"

Ye Qi'an crouched down to be at eye level with Lan Fuzi, gently patted her little hand, and comforted her with a smile, "Sweetie, the place your godfather is going to is indeed a bit dangerous, but godfather will be careful. Don't worry, just stay here in this underwater palace and wait for me to come back, okay?"

Lan Fuzi's eyes reddened slightly, and she nodded vigorously. "Godfather, you must come back soon."

Ye Qi'an stood up and raised his hand to cast a protective shield on Lan Fuzi. The shield emitted a soft light and steadily protected Lan Fuzi within it.

"With this protective shield, you will be much safer in this palace, and it can withstand any situation for a while," Ye Qi'an said softly.

Then, his expression turned serious, and he began to concentrate his power. His hands quickly formed hand seals, and mysterious runes appeared before him. His body shone brightly, and the immortal spiritual energy from the Divine Dragon Realm surged and gathered like a tidal wave.

As his power increased, a portal to time and space, radiating brilliant light, slowly opened before him. Within the portal, the vast and mysterious river of time appeared and disappeared, with countless traces of time flowing between the interplay of light and shadow.

Ye Qi'an took a deep breath, his figure flashed, and he resolutely stepped into the portal to the river of time.

As soon as he stepped in, a powerful and surging force of time swept towards him like a raging tide. Ye Qi'an quickly circulated his own divine power to form a solid shield on his body to resist the impact.

He moved slowly along the river of time, his gaze sharp as lightning, carefully searching for the soul aura of Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong.

In the long river of time, various scenes from the past flashed by like a revolving lantern, including passionate battles and peaceful lives. Those scenes seemed to have an invisible pull, trying to draw his thoughts in, but Ye Qi calmed his mind and focused on finding his soul.

Suddenly, Ye Qi'an's eyes lit up. He sensed a familiar divine aura, which was unique to Qian Renxue's soul. He quickened his pace following this aura, but when he arrived at the place emanating the divine aura, he found the situation to be somewhat troublesome.

After ten thousand years of ravages, Qian Renxue's soul was almost completely annihilated in the river of time, and the sacred aura that should have been there had become extremely weak, as if it would completely dissipate at any moment.

"Luckily we arrived early; their souls haven't completely dissipated yet. Gather them together!"

Ye Qi'an let out a low shout, his hands quickly forming hand seals. Beams of light surged from his palms, flying towards Qian Renxue's faint soul. These beams of light, like nimble threads, instantly wrapped around Qian Renxue's soul upon contact, as if trying to forcibly gather the scattered fragments of her soul together.

He kept chanting ancient incantations, each syllable carrying a mysterious power. As the incantation was chanted, the light that entwined Qian Renxue's soul grew brighter and brighter, gradually forming a soft cocoon of light that steadily enveloped Qian Renxue's soul.

Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Ye Qi'an's forehead, showing that the process of stabilizing the soul in the long river of time was not easy. However, he dared not slack off in the slightest, continuously outputting divine power to maintain the stability of the light cocoon, while guiding the immortal spiritual energy attached to his body to slowly inject into it, replenishing Qian Renxue's soul with energy.

Under his full effort, the light of Qian Renxue's soul began to increase slightly, and its originally almost transparent form became a little more solid. Although the faint holy aura was still very faint, it no longer showed any signs of dissipating immediately.

Ye Qi'an breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he knew that this was only a temporary stabilization of Qian Renxue's soul. He still needed to settle her properly as soon as possible before he could continue searching for Bibi Dong's soul.

"Never mind, let's go stay in my Sea of ​​Spirit for now." Ye Qi'an had an idea and prepared to place Qian Renxue's soul in his Sea of ​​Spirit first.

He formed hand seals again and chanted incantations. The cocoon of light enveloping Qian Renxue's soul slowly shrank, eventually transforming into a faint light that flew directly towards Ye Qi'an's brow and disappeared into it.

Upon entering the Sea of ​​Spirit, Qian Renxue's soul seemed to be in a tranquil, illusory space. This space was filled with energy and protected by Ye Qi'an's own spiritual power, allowing Qian Renxue's soul to receive better nourishment and protection, temporarily escaping the erosion of the powerful force of the River of Time.

Ye Qi'an briefly sensed the Sea of ​​Spirit and, after confirming that Qian Renxue's soul was relatively safe within it, he refocused his energy and continued searching for Bibi Dong's soul along the River of Time.

The river of time continued to flash through various scenes of the past, those scenes seemed to carry invisible interference, but Ye Qi'an was only focused on finding Bibi Dong's soul and was completely unaffected.

Finally, in an area where energy fluctuations were relatively chaotic, Ye Qi'an sensed the soul fluctuations that carried an eerie and powerful aura, which was the location of Bibi Dong's soul.

"Found it."

As Ye Qi'an slowly approached, when he was close enough, Bibi Dong's soul seemed to sense his arrival and instantly a powerful dark force surged forth, sweeping towards Ye Qi'an like a raging black wave.

Ye Qi'an's expression hardened, and he immediately released his divine power to defend himself. He moved his hands, and beams of dazzling light shot out from them, colliding fiercely with the dark power and creating a deafening roar. This entire area of ​​the River of Time was filled with light and energy fluctuations.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Ye Qian seized the opportunity, let out a low shout, and an even more powerful sealing force burst forth from his palm, enveloping Bibi Dong's soul. Under the effect of the sealing force, Bibi Dong's soul's resistance gradually weakened, and the dark power slowly dissipated.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Qi'an quickly stepped forward and wrapped Bibi Dong's soul with a divine power. He then prepared to send it to his own spiritual sea for placement. At this moment, he had finally completed the main task of entering the River of Time.

"The divine power is being used up too quickly; there's no time to retrieve the soul of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

Ye Qi'an frowned slightly. Although he felt a little regretful, he understood that the most urgent task was to safely return to the underwater palace with the souls of Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong that had been found.

Without further hesitation, he quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, transforming the divine power enveloping Bibi Dong's soul into a glimmer of light and sending it towards his brow, allowing it to smoothly enter his spiritual sea and stay with Qian Renxue's soul.

After leaving a time anchor point related to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Ye Qi'an took a deep breath and began to focus all his efforts on the return journey. The impact of the power of time in the River of Time became increasingly fierce, like surging waves constantly crashing against the already crumbling shield on his body.

"Break through the void!" Ye Qi'an raised his hand and summoned the Nine Heavens Dragon's Roar. He then swung his sword forward and unleashed a dazzling sword aura, like a blade of light tearing through the darkness, directly slashing towards the surging power of time.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the power of time was briefly torn open, and the surrounding energy fluctuations also violently trembled.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Qi'an flashed forward through the gap and then sped up his return journey. Just before the power of time was about to seize him, he successfully stepped out of the river of time with Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong's souls and returned to the familiar underwater palace.
