Douluo Continent: I Can Summon Heroic Spirits

Chapter 96 Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe?; Heading to the Star Tower Headquarters

As for why Tang San didn't protect the island that had shown him such great kindness after he became a god?

The reason is simple: this is, after all, the place where the old sea god Poseidon passed on his legacy. He sent down divine tests, cast a wide net to catch fish, and even distributed benefits to some unqualified bystanders.

Perhaps those old gods who became gods through the power of faith valued this, but Tang San didn't have that kind of free time.

After all, ten thousand years ago, or even earlier, the Douluo Continent was home to the inheritances of many different gods. Among the mainstream inheritances alone, there were two first-level gods: the Sea God and the Angel God.

The remaining gods, such as the Asura God, the Rakshasa God, and the Fire God, are equally powerful. Although they did not establish a complete force to spread their faith like the Angel God and the Sea God, they are still not to be underestimated.

But what is the situation now?

With the destruction of the Spirit Hall, there was no longer a powerful force on the continent to collect the power of faith. After Tang San and his six companions became gods, they firmly controlled the window for godhood on the Douluo Continent, and no one else has become a god in the past ten thousand years.

Since the Douluo Continent has been monopolized, Tang San naturally doesn't need to spend time setting up divine trials or spreading faith.

As long as he stays at home and does what he likes with Xiao Wu, the madmen of Shrek Academy will naturally and continuously supply him with faith power.

Similarly, Tang San would not use this method to select his successor.

What kind of person is Tang San? He says he "hopes the divine position will be inherited by someone destined," but in reality, he's the most power-hungry person.

An individual with an extremely strong desire for control.

How easy is it to inherit a godhood from someone who can even lock up his own daughter?

Even if you do inherit the divine position, you'll still have to obediently come up and serve as Tang Shenwang's dog, assisting him.

Therefore, Poseidon Island, a place that inherited the traditions of the old era, was naturally abandoned by him.

"Damn it—who on earth is capable of annihilating a wisp of my divine consciousness!"

The illusory figure let out a low, angry shout.

As this wisp of divine consciousness fluctuated, the once lifeless deep sea suddenly began to churn, with surging undercurrents and increased water pressure, as if the entire ocean was responding to the wrath of the god.

Tang San's illusory eyes gazed toward the mainland.

The connection with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye has been completely severed.

He abruptly closed his eyes, barely managing to project his divine sense as he began to investigate the numerous backup plans he had laid out on this continent.

After a moment, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his brows remained furrowed.

The father, Tang Hao, and half of the daughters in the Haotian Sect are fine, and the divine consciousness left behind by Qiankun Wenqing Valley is also safe and sound.

but----

He suddenly opened his eyes, his face turning extremely pale.

The divine sense arrangement that his main body left on the Emperor Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest had also undergone an unknown change! What made him even more uncontrollably agitated was that his mother, Ah Yin, whom he had placed near the Golden Tree at Shrek Academy, had also disappeared without a trace!

It should be noted that the Golden Tree was planted by him personally. Over ten thousand years, with the help of Shrek Academy, the most powerful force on the Douluo Continent, it finally became the core of the plane's life.

The next step is to have Ah Yin drive away the tree spirit of the golden tree inside and become the core of the plane's life.

But now, not only has Ah Yin disappeared, but the golden tree has also become an ordinary tree that is all show and no substance.

"Damn it! Who is it?! What underhanded methods did they use to shield me from my physical body's senses?!" Tang San's eyes were filled with extreme malice. "What is my physical body doing? Why didn't they react in time?"

His divine consciousness remained attached to the ancient artifact inherited from the Sea God—the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

To reduce the consumption of spiritual power, it spends most of its time in a deep slumber, with extremely limited perception of the outside world.

Under normal circumstances, this wisp of divine consciousness would not be easily triggered.

These fragmented consciousnesses cannot easily share information without establishing a connection with the core entity.

This time, if his divine consciousness hadn't been forcibly erased from the Yin-Yang Well, causing a shock, his wisp of divine consciousness would never have been disturbed and awakened.

Things seem to be getting out of his control.

The opponent was no ordinary person; they could annihilate a wisp of his divine consciousness and shield him from the perception of the divine realm.

"It seems I must plan this carefully. I should first go to the Haotian Sect and reunite with the divine consciousness within Xiao Qi."

"In the blink of an eye, a year has passed since Ye Chenxing founded the Star Tower in Mingdu."

During this year, Mingdu underwent tremendous changes.

The arrival of the Star Tower has had the most direct impact of completely overturning people's lifestyles and urban infrastructure.

The entire street layout of Mingdu is gradually converging with the modern city Ye Chenxing was in before his time travel at an incredible speed.

The wide main road has been fully repaired and leveled, and a special right-of-way has been made available for the newly developed Soul Guidance Vehicle.

As for the Soul Guiding Train, which has a larger carrying capacity, the project is so massive that it is still under construction and being improved.

Today, many of the original Soul Guidance Vehicles can be seen driving on the streets of Mingdu.

But among the bustling traffic, one car stood out conspicuously.

It was a super-sleek, all-black sports car with an extremely low chassis and a seamless body without a single unnecessary seam.

The futuristic metallic paint reflects a cold yet luxurious luster under the sunlight, resembling a black phantom flying close to the ground, attracting frequent glances from passersby wherever it goes.

Sitting inside was Ye Chenxing.

As his personal vehicle, the interior of this car is naturally quite different from the ordinary soul-guided vehicles on the market that are conventionally equipped with steering wheels.

With his current level of mental strength, he can completely control the vehicle through mental connection.

Therefore, he completely opened up the interior of the sports car, eliminating the traditional driver's seat, and arranged the entire space more like a comfortable and stylish mobile living room.

However, at this moment, sitting in this space that should have been extremely enjoyable, Ye Chenxing felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

There's no other reason than the unprecedentedly luxurious lineup surrounding him.

Gu Yue, Gu Yuena, Qian Renxue, and Gu Yeqiu, four stunning beauties, were all in the same car, squeezing him tightly in the very middle.

Their destination was naturally the headquarters of the Star Tower.

After a year of rapid development, thanks to Ye Chenxing's planning and Qian Gu Dongfeng's outstanding leadership and execution, Star Tower is no longer just an emerging ordinary force in the outer city of Mingdu. It has gradually expanded outward and developed into the second city center of Mingdu, and even become the most eye-catching scenic spot in the city.

Ye Chenxing returned to Mingdu after nine months, and naturally he wanted to personally inspect the place.

Originally, Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen were also going to come along, but in order to stabilize their newly evolved abilities and realms as soon as possible, the brother and sister both chose to go into seclusion, so only a few of them were left to travel with them.

At this moment, the four girls almost trapped him in the middle, and several distinct fragrances lingered around his nose. Ye Chenxing froze on the soft chair, feeling that he had nowhere to put his hands.

"Damn it! If I'd known, I wouldn't have designed a completely open-plan lounge; I would have just made a separate driver's cab!"

Fortunately, this torment did not last long.

The two young girls, Gu Yeqiu and Qian Renxue, were soon drawn to the novel street scene rushing past the window.

The two men moved away from him, gathered around the same car window, and began to whisper and point at each other.

"Sister Xue, Sister Xue, that restaurant looks so delicious!"

"We see things from the same perspective. I can take you to see it in person."

"Really?"

"I received a lot of funding from Morningstar..."

'

Ye Chenxing looked at the two golden retrievers huddled together and whispering to each other, feeling puzzled.

Are the interactions between a greenhouse-raised spirit beast and an innocent angel really not just cross-server chat?

Perhaps it's because both of their martial soul attributes include fire and light, or perhaps it's their unexpectedly complementary personalities, but these two naturally naive people get along surprisingly naturally and harmoniously.

As soon as the two left, the physical pressure around Ye Chenxing decreased dramatically.

But before he could even catch his breath, a strange sensation came from both arms at the same time, and he instantly sank into two amazingly soft mounds.

A pincer attack from both sides.

Gu Yue and Gu Yuena had somehow already wrapped their arms around his arms, one on each side.

"Here, Morning Star." Gu Yuena leaned forward slightly and brought out a plate of crystal-clear fruit slices from somewhere.

"This is a Jade Dew Melon that Master Jing specially asked me to bring to you before he left. I heard that it is a specialty of the Sun Moon Empire. Not only is the juice sweet, but eating it can also slightly nourish your spiritual power."

Looking at the bright white flesh of the melon before him, which exuded an enticing fragrance, Ye Chenxing asked doubtfully, "Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe?"

"The sect leader seems to be a big eater. He can't just give us raw food, can he?" Gu Yuena chuckled, picked up a piece with a silver skewer, and brought it to Ye Chenxing's lips.

Open your mouth, ah—

'

Ye Chenxing took a bite, and it melted in her mouth, indeed sweet.

But at the same time, he felt his right arm suddenly tighten, being pulled even more forcefully into a deeper, softer space.

Gu Yue glared fiercely at Gu Yuena across from her, then abruptly turned her head away, gritting her teeth.

Shameless! How could she be so shameless? What about her dignity as the ruler of all soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King?! She just grovels up to be fed like that, she's utterly disgraced the dragon race!

But after her initial anger subsided, Gu Yue shook her head and gave Gu Yuena a cold smile.

Ha, that's it?

Gu Yuena's eagerness to give things away for free is, in her opinion, clearly the mark of an amateur!

During this time, in order to better integrate into the human world and to better "win over" Ye Chenxing, Gu Yue secretly studied a lot of knowledge about human society.

After all, Gu Yue, being half of the Dragon God, did not possess the reproductive instincts of a soul beast in her genes. Although dragons are inherently lewd, she inherited the rational and intelligent side of the Dragon God, so all of the Dragon God's private matters naturally ended up with the Golden Dragon King.

Therefore, in order to make up for this deficiency, she has also read quite a bit of books on human love.

The book makes it very clear: when dating, you absolutely cannot be nice to a man all the time! The most skilled hunters often appear as prey, and you must be good at playing hard to get!

If a woman is too proactive and lets him get the benefits too easily, a man will never cherish them! It's essential to maintain a proper distance, making him yearn for more and more, leaving him frustrated and anxious!

In short, the self-proclaimed master of this art shook his head inwardly as he watched Gu Yuena, who was still feeding Ye Chenxing gossip like a boneless glutton.

The poor fellow knows nothing of human emotions.

The advantage is still with me!

Just as Gu Yue was feeling smug, Ye Chenxing's voice suddenly pulled her back to reality.

"Speaking of which, Gu Yue, why did you choose this name for yourself?" Ye Chenxing turned to look at her with some curiosity. "You are the Silver Dragon King, so logically, your name should be the same as hers, Gu Yue Na, right?"

Upon hearing this question, Gu Yue slightly raised her chin, revealing an expression of a reclusive sage.

"You just don't understand, do you?"

Gu Yue cleared his throat and began to analyze the situation seriously.

"As a beastman in human form who has infiltrated human society, my primary task is naturally to conceal my true identity. If I were to use my real name, 'Gu Yue Na,' wouldn't it be easy to expose myself? Therefore, I extracted the first two characters and adopted the alias 'Gu Yue,' a truly flawless disguise."

'

Ye Chenxing was deeply shocked after hearing Gu Yue's logic.

He paused for two seconds, then slowly turned his head to look at Gu Yuena on his left.

At this moment, Gu Yuena was silently rubbing her forehead.

Don't look at me, I don't know her.

Ye Chenxing smiled helplessly.

"Well, that's actually quite fitting. After all, if you two were both called Gu Yuena now, I really wouldn't be able to tell you apart. I can't exactly call you Life and Silver Dragon all the time, can I?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she took the opportunity to lean closer, her breath sweet as orchids: "Master, since her name is Gu Yue... then you can call me Na'er from now on."

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's eyes widened in excitement.

However, Gu Yuena completely ignored her murderous gaze and simply looked at Ye Chenxing with a smile.

What is this? Gu Yue and Na'er, has history closed in a loop?

Ye Chenxing thought to himself, then nodded in agreement: "Na'er—it's indeed a good name, easy to pronounce, and classic!"

Gu Yue's chest heaved violently with anger, and she pulled Ye Chenxing's arm even deeper into her soft, undulating chest, their faces almost touching. Gu Yue's warm breath brushed against Ye Chenxing's cheek.

Just as the atmosphere inside the car was becoming increasingly tense, the Soul Guidance Sports Car, which was driving smoothly, gradually slowed down and finally came to a stop.

Ye Chenxing looked out the window and a magnificent building came into view.

"Let's go, we've arrived at our destination."

As he spoke, Ye Chenxing broke free from the two women's soft embrace and reached out to open the car door.
