Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 389 Deceiving the Gods

"What's there to blame? If you don't speak up, if I don't speak up, if nobody speaks up, who will know?"

"Exactly! We're already tired of the God Realm. Even a first-level god like the Sea God is planning to run away. Can't we run away too?"

The goddess of flowers and the goddess of healing are subordinates of the goddess of life, so they have nothing to fear. Besides, their superiors have already passed on their divine positions, so it seems reasonable for them to do the same!

"Handsome guy, you'll have to help our successor in the future so that she can inherit our divine position."

Subsequently, the Flower Goddess and the Healing Goddess left a divine thought in Ye Lingling's soul sea, instructing Ye Liangchen to provide more assistance in the future.

"Even if you two goddess sisters hadn't asked, I would have helped anyway."

Ye Liangchen quickly nodded in agreement to the two goddesses' requests. Besides, Ye Lingling was one of his own, so of course he had to help her.

"Thank you both, goddess sisters."

Ye Lingling immediately thanked the two goddesses, expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to become a god.

"Don't mention it. Just focus on your cultivation! We'll set up a temple of inheritance in a space outside Douluo Star called Flower Goddess Valley. You'll go there to receive your divine inheritance."

The Flower Goddess and the Healing Goddess have not yet built a place to pass on their legacy; they plan to find a way to do so after returning to the divine realm.

"Two goddess sisters, what is the space outside Douluo Star?" the women asked curiously.

"Beyond Douluo Star, there are many independent small spaces, which can be considered small worlds!..."

The Flower Goddess Nai Xin explained to Shui Bing'er and the others.

"Goddess, how do I get to Flower Goddess Valley? I can't fly out of Douluo Star."

Ye Lingling was now in a bit of a predicament. Flower God Valley was outside of Douluo Star, and she couldn't go there with her own strength.

"What are you worried about? He'll take you there."

The goddess of healing pointed at Ye Liangchen, who looked calm and collected. The reason why the two women passed on their divine positions to Ye Lingling was also because of Ye Liangchen.

"In my opinion, it was very wise for the two goddess sisters to choose to pass on their divine positions."

"The realm of gods is like a prison. The world outside is much more vast. Perhaps the two goddesses can obtain greater opportunities outside and thus break through to a higher realm."

Ye Liangchen always felt that there was a story between the Flower Goddess and the Healing Goddess who passed on their divine positions to Ye Lingling. Could it be that kind of relationship?

"This guy is lying to people again."

Shui Bing'er and the others wanted to laugh, but dared not, for fear of offending the three goddesses.

"Handsome, you seem to know a lot!"

"Since you say the realm of gods is like a prison, why do you still want to accept the inheritance of the two masters?"

The three goddesses were utterly astonished by Ye Liangchen's words; they had never seen a mere mortal boy utter such words before.

People at different times pursue different things; there's a saying that goes, "What you can't have always seems more desirable."

"I am still a mortal and have not yet witnessed the realm of gods, so I am curious. Perhaps after I become a god, I will be able to understand your current feelings."

"The path of cultivation is endless; there is no highest point, only higher ones. Only by continuing on this path can one witness new worlds."

Ye Liangchen earnestly tried to fool the three goddesses, hoping to broaden their horizons. After all, the gods or humans in this world weren't very bright and didn't understand the profound truths of the myriad realms.

"Uh...! You're absolutely right."

Your words have given us a sudden sense of clarity.

The three goddesses' minds were buzzing. Was this something a 20-year-old boy had said? Perhaps even the god-kings of the divine realm weren't as powerful as him.

"You flatter me, my three goddess sisters."

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly, thinking to himself: These so-called gods aren't much better in terms of their moral character.

"Handsome guy, now we finally understand why those two gentlemen chose you."

At this moment, the three goddesses felt that Ye Liangchen was not a young man in front of them, but a peerless master, a master they looked up to.

"Beautiful lady, the realm of gods is like a prison. Do you want freedom? Then hurry up and pass on your divine position. All the beauties around me are skilled in music; any one of them would suit you."

"If you don't want to, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Ye Liangchen switched to deception mode to see if the God of Music would take the bait.

"Handsome, are you serious?"

Music Goddess walked over with her long, beautiful legs, looking at Shui Bing'er and the others with an incredulous expression.

"Of course it's true."

"Sister Bing'er, hurry up and show off your talent! Sing 'A Stunning Guest in the Human World' for this goddess!"

Ye Liangchen asked Shui Bing'er and the others to demonstrate their musical talents. If they could fool the God of Music, that would be great.

"OK."

"Tick-tock..."

Jin Ling'er, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Yu Hai Rou, and others immediately took out their musical instruments and began to play.

That spring, the wind swept away the clouds and the guests departed.

A gentle breeze stirs the white sails, and the shimmering light reflects on the water.

Stealing half a day of leisure, I sailed on the clear waters.

A paper fan half-closed, unintentionally attracting the attention of a beautiful woman.

I wish to wander beyond the green mountains, not caring what year it is.

I once lingered over a fleeting glimpse of beauty, which stirred up half a lifetime of longing.

Alas, in this world, only the youthful spirit remains.

.........

'

Shuiyue'er and Yu Hairou's voices, accompanied by the melody, sang with the beauty of orioles, their melodies lingering for days on end.

"My God! There are actually such beautiful songs in the human world?"

"Music God, the music you play is miles inferior to what they play."

The goddess of flowers and the goddess of healing listened to the women singing "A Stunning Guest in the Human World," which sounded like a divine melody. When they recalled the music played by the god of music, it felt like a mosquito humming.

"How...how did you guys do that? It sounds amazing!"

The God of Music was stunned, feeling that he was not worthy of the title.

"Goddess, he taught us this song, 'A Stunning Guest in the Human World'!"

Shui Bing'er and the others all pointed at Ye Liangchen. No one knew how the little guy had managed it, but the songs he sang were incredibly beautiful.

"Wow, you're actually a musical genius!"

The three goddesses were instantly stunned. Such a beautiful song was actually created by this extraordinary young man, which completely refreshed their understanding.

"I wouldn't dare call myself an expert; it's just a hobby."

Ye Liangchen smiled modestly. He was hardly a master of music; he had simply adapted those famous ancient-style songs from his past life's memories.

It has to be said that the so-called music in the Douluo World is terrible. Tang Yuehua was impressed by the song "The Rising Tide of the Blue Sea" before, and now the God of Music is impressed by the song "A Stunning Guest in the Human World". It seems that these so-called gods are just so-so.

"You call this a hobby? I feel like you're showing off, but I have no proof."

"Handsome guy, could you show me your musical talent?"

The music god gave him a charmingly disdainful look, then asked Ye Liangchen to demonstrate his musical talent so that they could see just how extraordinary this young man was.

"Oh well."

Ye Liangchen was happy to accept the beautiful women's request, so he took out a flute from his soul tool, activated his sonic power, and played "Butterfly Dance" to see if the three goddesses would fall for it.

"Tick-tock..."

In an instant, cheerful flute music rang out, instantly transporting the women into a picturesque dream world, bringing them immense joy.

"Where is this? How can there be such a beautiful world?"

At this moment, the three goddesses were also captivated, immersed in that poetic and picturesque world, quietly enjoying the beauty.

"Tick-tock..."

After the performance of "Butterfly Dance" ended, the women were still immersed in that beautiful dream world, unable to extricate themselves. Shui Bing'er and the others were still dancing happily, enjoying that wonderful feeling.

"Handsome, what's the name of this song? How come it sounds so good?" The music god snapped out of his daze and immediately asked Ye Liangchen.

"This piece is called 'Butterfly Dance'."

Ye Liangchen explained, while also marveling at the charm of the song "Butterfly Dance," which easily captivated the God of Music. It truly deserves to be a masterpiece by the great singer Mai!

"Butterfly Dance, what a beautiful butterfly dance, it's so lovely."

"I really want to stay here forever. The realm of gods is just too boring."

The God of Music really wanted to descend in his true form right now, so he could discuss the Way of Music with Ye Liangchen and his group.

"Music God, what are your plans?"

The goddess of flowers and the goddess of healing looked at the goddess of music. If this woman could pass on her divine position, they would have companions when they traveled to the outside world.

"Fine, you're all planning to pass on your divine positions, so there's no point in me staying in the divine realm."

The God of Music planned to select one of the beauties, Shui Bing'er, and then use a divinely bestowed method to create a martial soul for her.

"Show me your martial spirits and demonstrate your strength!"

Looking at Shui Bing'er and her group of beautiful young women, each one so outstanding, Le Shen was a little stumped for a moment, so he had no choice but to let them show off.

"My name is Jin Ling'er, a level 95 Title Douluo."

"My name is Shui Bing'er, a level 94 Title Douluo."

"My name is..."

Shui Bing'er and the others immediately revealed their martial spirits and introduced their respective strengths to the God of Music.

"Wow...! That's really amazing."

The three goddesses nodded in approval as they looked at Shui Bing'er and the others' unique combination of seven black and two red spirit rings, especially Jin Ling'er's combination of six black and three red spirit rings, which particularly caught their eye.

"Goddess sister, you can choose any of the others besides them."

Ye Liangchen pulled Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuqing aside. As for the other girls, the music god could choose any of them.

"Handsome, why is that?"

The Goddess of Music was planning to have either Shui Bing'er or Jin Ling'er inherit her divine position, but Ye Liangchen pulled this stunt, leaving the Goddess of Music completely bewildered.

"Goddess, you don't need to ask why. Just choose any one of them, and they can inherit your divine position."

Ye Liangchen would certainly not allow Shui Bing'er and Jin Ling'er to inherit the second-level godhood of the God of Music. Not to mention that he had already reserved the godhood of the God of Ice for Shui Bing'er, Jin Ling'er's abnormal talent should at least be matched with a first-level god to have the prestige.

"Oh well."

"I'll make you."

The God of Music glanced at the remaining beauties, then reached out and sent a ball of light into Yu Hairou's body.

"Whoosh..."

The next moment, a guqin appeared in Yu Hairou's right hand.

"Wow!…"

When Shui Bing'er and the others saw that Yu Hairou had become a Twin Martial Soul again, they were stunned once more. As everyone knows, having a Twin Martial Soul allows one to easily cultivate to level 99.

"Yu Hairou, this zither is called the Phoenix Tail Zither, and it's the zither I usually play."

"Work hard! I've also set up Divine Sound Valley in a small space outside Douluo Star. Once you're strong enough, go there to receive the inheritance!"

The God of Music helped Yu Hairou acquire her second martial soul, and then left a divine thought in her soul sea.

"Thank you, Goddess Sister, I will try my best."

Yu Hairou clenched her fist, feeling incredibly excited. She never expected to possess twin martial souls; it was truly amazing.

"My three goddess sisters, I once had a dream that in the near future, the divine realm will be destroyed by a spacetime storm."

"You second-level gods have no chance of survival under the spacetime storm, so when you get back, quickly tell your friends that if they want to live, they should leave the divine realm as soon as possible."

Ye Liangchen recalled that tens of thousands of years later, the God Realm would encounter a spacetime storm, so he directly released this bombshell news to see how the God Realm would react.

"Time...space storm?"

"Handsome guy, you can't say things like that carelessly, or it will cause a commotion in the divine realm."

The three goddesses were startled when they heard that the divine realm would encounter a time-space storm in the future.

Why are you all so nervous? It was just a dream I had. Whether it's real or not, nobody knows.

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly and gave an ambiguous answer: as long as these three goddesses brought this news to the God Realm, a large number of gods would probably want to run away.

"Let's go back to the realm of the gods first! Let's tell our friends this news!"

"Yes! As for spacetime storms, it's better to believe they don't exist than not to. If you encounter one, even a first-level god will die, let alone us weak second-level gods."

"Whoosh..."

After the three goddesses regained their senses, they immediately disappeared and returned to the divine realm to make preparations.

"Xiao Chen, what is this spacetime storm you mentioned?"

Shui Bing'er and the others knew that what Ye Liangchen said was probably true, but this was the first time they had ever heard of something like a spacetime storm.

"Beyond our Douluo Star, there are many other planets, and the God Realm is just one continent among them."

"I've heard the Goddess of Life talk about time-space storms. They're a cosmic wonder... incredibly destructive. If you're hit by one, the entire planet will be reduced to ashes."

Ye Liangchen then proceeded to explain the spacetime storm, or more precisely, the black hole.

"Will the realm of gods really be destroyed?"

Shui Bing'er asked curiously, "If the God Realm is really destroyed in the future, then there's no need for everyone to go there."

"I don't know, it was just a dream I had, it's still a long way off! For us now, it's probably tens of thousands of years away."

Ye Liangchen gave a vague answer, telling everyone not to worry, as he had already taken care of everything over tens of thousands of years.

"You scared us!"

Upon hearing that there were still tens of thousands of years to go, the women immediately felt relieved.

After the Flower Goddess and her companions returned to the divine realm, they immediately sought out their respective friends and told them about the impending destruction of the divine realm.

"Swish..."

In the following period, several second-level gods secretly sent down their divine incarnations to pass on their divine positions to Xue Wu, Gu Qingbo, Qiu Ruoshui, Dugu Yan, and Shen Liuyu.

These secondary goddesses are all female, namely Dongli Goddess, Moon Goddess, Star Mark Goddess, Yaoguang Goddess, and Star Dream Goddess. They are good friends with the Flower Goddess and the others, so they all ran away together.

One day, one of the God of Light's subordinates heard the news and, without saying a word, told the God of Light directly.

After inquiring with the Flower Goddess, the God of Light learned that this matter was told by the inheritors of the two great god-kings of destruction and life. So, with a skeptical attitude, the God of Light sent his divine avatar to meet Ye Liangchen.

Under Ye Liangchen's persuasive words, the God of Light directly chose Jin Ling'er as his successor. The spacetime storm was beyond their ability to withstand, and they even planned to call on a few good friends to run away together.

"Haha...! We've finally fooled these gods, and now you've all obtained your divine positions."

Ye Liangchen didn't expect that just by releasing a prophecy about a disaster in the divine realm, he would immediately make the God of Light back down. You have to know that this guy is a first-level god!

As expected, these gods in the Douluo God Realm are really weak. They are helpless in the face of the spacetime storm. In the original story, when the God Realm was in crisis, life and destruction merged together, and they briefly displayed the strength of a creator god, but they still failed to save the God Realm.

……

Paper can never contain fire. The Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Flowers prepared to flee, but the Divine Council eventually found out.

"Tell me! Why did you all run away?"

"God of Light, you are a supreme god, yet you've run away! Give us an explanation!"

In the Divine Council, the gods looked at the God of Light and the Goddess of Flowers with questioning eyes.

The Asura God and the Sea God lowered their heads and did not express their opinions. After all, they themselves were about to flee, and they were too embarrassed to criticize others.

"What's the big deal? Didn't the Sea God and the Asura God leave the realm of gods just like everyone else? So there's no problem with me running away!"

As a first-level god and a member of the God Realm Committee, the God of Light was not afraid of being questioned and even dragged Shura and the Sea God into the mess.

"God of Light, why are you dragging us into this?" The Sea God glared at the God of Light, thinking to himself: This guy is dishonest!

"As expected, it was the two of you who started this trend."

The usually meddlesome Evil and Good glanced at the Asura and Sea God beside them, both revealing teasing expressions.

"Destruction and life also passed the divine throne to that boy, so what do you say about that?"

Shura and Poseidon shifted the blame to the two big shots, Life and Destruction. Since everyone was running away anyway, what else was there to say?

"We are different from you. Although we have passed on our divine positions, we will not leave the divine realm for the time being."

Destruction and Life placed all their hopes on Ye Liangchen, and they would not leave until the little guy reached the level of God King.

"Are you guys hiding something from me?"

The goddess of life looked at the goddess of flowers and the goddess of healing. It seemed that the matter was caused by these two girls, and then all of their friends passed on their divine positions. This was really too abnormal.

"Your Majesty, your successor said that the divine realm will encounter a spacetime storm in the future, and the divine realm will inevitably be destroyed, so..."

The goddess of healing had no choice but to tell the truth. After all, it was Ye Liangchen who spread the word, and whether the gods believed it or not was their business.

"What? A...time-space storm?"

Upon hearing the term "space-time storm," the members of the Divine Realm Committee were completely stunned. This was no joke; if it were true, it would be a catastrophe for the gods.

"What did he say?"

The Goddess of Life asked curiously how her inheritor, who was only a level 99 Title Douluo, could know about the spacetime storm.

"He said he had a dream in which the realm of gods was destroyed by a spacetime storm."

The Goddess of Healing looked at the expression on the Goddess of Life's face and roughly knew that this matter was true, and that the divine realm would inevitably be destroyed in the future.

"Are you all scared, everyone?"

The God of Destruction looked at the gods. He knew that the Goddess of Life had once predicted that the divine realm would indeed not escape that disaster in the future.

"Destruction God King, what should we do?" The gods looked at the powerful Destruction God King. If the spacetime storm really came, everyone would only die.

"What to do? Just leave it alone, of course."

"If you want to leave, then go ahead! It will free up some space in the realm of gods."

The God of Destruction shook his head helplessly. He had no way to deal with the spacetime storm and could only wait for that prodigy to grow up.

"Goddess of Life, your successor was merely a mortal. How could he utter such a thing?"

Good, evil, Asura, and more than a dozen first-level gods all looked at the Goddess of Life. If that little guy had just had a dream that the divine realm would be destroyed in the future, then this monstrous youth was too amazing.

"He absorbed the Time Dragon King's source power before, so he should have comprehended some of the laws of time. As you know, the Time Dragon King's laws of time are the most mysterious, including the ability to predict time."

The Goddess of Life believed that the little fellow wouldn't reveal the destruction of the divine realm without reason; he must know something.

"A prophecy of time?"

When the gods heard this word, they were immediately startled. If what that demon said was true, then everyone would be doomed.

"Goddess of Life, your successor has a very good relationship with that dragon. Aren't you afraid that the dragons will make a comeback?"

The Asura God looked at the Goddess of Life, not understanding what this woman was up to.

"So what? Do you really think that the successor of this god can't conquer a mere dragon? Or are you dissatisfied with him?"

"He once said that the beastmen are warlike by nature and do not know how to cultivate their character, which is why they like to kill. The Dragon God of that time was also unable to control his power, which led to his being devoured and ultimately launching the Dragon God War."

The Goddess of Life glanced at the God of Asura, knowing that he was afraid that the Silver Dragon King would return and seek revenge on him first. After all, the God of Asura had once split the Dragon God in two with a single sword strike, severely injuring the Silver Dragon King and causing him to sleep for countless millennia. The Silver Dragon King would certainly never forget that kind of pain.

"I have no complaints."

The God of Asura is unaware that his subconscious actions back then led to the deaths of Ye Liangchen's parents; otherwise, he wouldn't have said that.

Back then, the God of Asura knew that Tang Chen had been tampered with by the God of Rakshasa, so he had to choose another target. He planned to wait until Tang Hao became a Limit Douluo before making him his successor. So when Tang Hao fought against Qian Xunji and his group, he secretly used his divine sense to save Tang Hao's life. He also inadvertently discovered that Tang Hao's son, Tang San, was special, so he saved Tang San's life as well. When Tang Hao was in danger for the second time, the God of Asura saved him again. Unexpectedly, Life and Destruction intervened, and he lost his power of monitoring and law enforcement, unable to monitor the situation in the lower realm. Later, he saw Tang San fight against Ye Liangchen and suffer a crushing defeat, even turning to the dark side and becoming corrupted, which led to him being chosen as the successor by the God of Rakshasa. Tang Hao later became a cripple. The God of Asura felt that Life and Destruction were plotting something and did not want to be enemies with these two, so he simply abandoned Tang Hao and chose Bibi Dong as his successor.

"Shura, if you're dissatisfied with him, I'll get angry with you."

The God of Destruction warned the God of Asura not to cause trouble, or he would definitely have to deal with him.

The gods also revealed gossipy eyes, eager to see the two great god-kings, Destruction and Asura, clash.

"Destruction! You're dreaming."

The Asura God has now found a suitable successor and only wants to leave the God Realm, not wanting to get involved in those messy affairs.
