Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 457 Restoring the Ice God's Divinity

"The Goddess of Life mentioned to me a couple of days ago that when you broke through to level 100 and became a god, the consciousness of the universe's laws seemed to be paying attention to you."

"However, this is just an illusion of the Goddess of Life. After all, the consciousness of the laws of the universe is too mysterious, and she has not truly perceived it."

"Xiao Chen, when you were undergoing your heavenly tribulation, did you sense anything?"

Gu Yuena recounted what she had learned from the Goddess of Life. To be honest, she didn't know what the consciousness of the laws of the universe was. The memories she inherited from the Dragon God didn't contain anything about the consciousness of the laws of the universe.

"I was using the tribulation lightning to temper my physical body at the time, so I didn't sense anything. Besides, I've only just become a god, and I haven't even threatened the status of the universe's laws and consciousness yet. How could something so ethereal and intangible pay attention to me beforehand?"

Ye Liangchen naturally knew about the cosmic laws governing this world; they were essentially the will of the Creator God, also known as the Heavenly Dao Will of the Douluo Universe. In the original story, Lan Xuanyu, who inherited the position of Dragon God, was also targeted by the cosmic laws and ultimately had to submit to them, even saying, "I enforce the law," to avoid being obliterated. Simply put, this universe is too small to accommodate such powerful beings.

In my past life, many people on the internet joked that it was just the embodiment of someone's will, someone who wouldn't allow anyone in this universe to surpass Tang San. But these were just topics of banter among netizens in my past life.

If what the Goddess of Life said is true, the consciousness of the universe's laws is now paying attention to me, it must be because I broke the rules of the Douluo plane and triggered a heavenly tribulation, which aroused the curiosity of the consciousness of the universe's laws. I haven't even created a god star yet, so I won't be targeted at all.

"The Goddess of Life told me that the Dragon God of yesteryear was targeted by the consciousness of the laws of the universe... so you will probably be targeted in the future as well."

Gu Yuena's face showed a solemn expression. Then she slowly recounted how the Dragon God was targeted by the consciousness of the universe's laws back then, so that Ye Liangchen could understand how terrifying such a thing was.

"Sister Na, don't worry! I'll find a way to solve these problems when the time comes."

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly. He had a cheat code, so he wasn't worried about any cosmic laws or consciousness. Besides, when he came to this fantasy world, he felt like he was in a beginner's village in a game.

"I hope so! Whatever happens, I will face it with you."

Gu Yuena looked at Ye Liangchen's calm and collected demeanor, as if he had already made up his mind. It seemed that this little guy must have gotten some kind of trump card from the white-bearded old man he met in his dream.

However, this was also Ye Liangchen's secret, and Gu Yuena didn't want to pry too much. Moreover, her spiritual power couldn't detect anything unusual in the little guy's body, which meant that the existence of that level was definitely beyond her imagination.

"Sister Na! It's not that serious. Once I become powerful, I'll take you away from this weak universe and let you experience the splendor of all the worlds."

The sudden emotional outburst left Ye Liangchen somewhat unaccustomed to it. Now, Gu Yuena, this aloof goddess, had undergone a complete personality change because of his arrival.

"I know you're good, but you can't be careless."

"Let's go get something to eat in the lobby first!"

Gu Yuena smiled sweetly, then pulled Ye Liangchen into the Dragon Palace hall to enjoy spiritual fruits and fine wine.

Unbeknownst to her, Gu Yuena had transformed from the domineering queen she once was into a gentle and tender woman, truly conquered by this enchanting young man.

"By the way, Ling'er confessed to me about what happened between you and her. Why didn't you resist back then? Why did you let her do whatever she wanted?"

Gu Yuena took a sip of spirit fruit wine, then brought up the matter between Jin Ling'er and Ye Liangchen, a hint of jealousy showing on her face.

"You know Ling'er's personality; she's exactly like you, but even more domineering."

"Sister Na, how can I resist?"

Ye Liangchen recalled the scene of Jin Ling'er ambushing him in the middle of the night. The scene was simply spectacular. He had wanted to fight back at the time, but his body wouldn't allow it!

"Fine! You got off easy, kid."

"Besides, that girl transformed into human form back then, it was clearly for your sake."

Gu Yuena didn't take the matter between Jin Ling'er and Ye Liangchen to heart. After all, they were both her children. Besides, this little guy had such powerful fighting ability, which she had personally cultivated. Even she herself had a hard time dealing with that abnormal fighting ability. It would be a good thing to have a few more girls to help share the burden.

"Did you obtain the divine status of the Ice God during your trip to the far north?"

At this moment, Gu Yuena asked about the Ice God's relics.

"Buzz..."

"I got it, but the divine essence is quite damaged. Do you think it can be repaired?"

With a thought, Ye Liangchen took out the damaged divine core of the Ice God from his game inventory space, intending to ask Gu Yuena to help repair it.

"Hmm! The power of the fundamental laws of ice element has been severely depleted, causing this divine core to be damaged to the point of being half-damaged."

Gu Yuena took the ball of pure white light radiating coldness from Ye Liangchen's hand and felt the extreme power of the ice element within it.

"I'll give it a try."

"The Ice God and the Water God both wield the same elemental law, only with slight differences."

Gu Yuena began to use the power of the water element law, slowly injecting it into that ball of extremely cold white light.

"Whoosh..." Ye Liangchen also mobilized the power of the ice element law and injected it into the godhood of the Ice God.

"Sister Na, we should go to the far north to repair this divine essence; that should have a better effect."

"That's right! The ancient Ice God was born in the far north. We can use the power of the ice in the far north and compress it into this mass of icy primordial power through the power of laws."

When Gu Yuena heard Ye Liangchen's suggestion, she immediately thought it was a good idea.

"Buzz..."

"Let's get started!"

Ye Liangchen immediately put the divine essence into his game inventory space.

"good!"

Gu Yuena took out a divine artifact called the Illusion God Mask and put it on to conceal her aura.

"Sizzle..."

Gu Yuena then opened the barrier passage, pulled Ye Liangchen inside, and the two appeared on the island the next moment.

"My lord, you have finally come out."

Biji, Yingmei, and Ziji, who were drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion, all smiled like aunts when they saw this scene. Xuedi's expression did not change much, after all, she was calm and quiet.

"Ye Liangchen, what were you doing at the Lord's Dragon Palace?"

Hyotei moved closer to Ye Liangchen, feigning surprise. She couldn't understand why the high and mighty Silver Dragon King would like a human like Ye Liangchen.

"Why are you asking so many questions, you little kid?"

Ye Liangchen reached out and rubbed Bingdi's little head, thinking: I'm going to cultivate with Sister Na in the Dragon Palace, do I have to tell this little scorpion?

"I am not a child, I am a ferocious beast that has existed for 30 years."

Hyotei shoved Ye Liangchen's hand away and glared at him angrily.

"Pfft...!"

Biji, Yingmei, Ziji, and Xuedi couldn't help but laugh when they saw Bingdi's adorable appearance.

"Xiao Chen, are you hungry? Let us make you some food!"

Suddenly, Biji and Ziji realized that Ye Liangchen had been taken into the Dragon Palace by their master for two days of dual cultivation, and he must be exhausted. So they decided to cook him a good meal to help him recover.

At this moment, the two women imagined the scene. With their master's domineering personality, he must have had the upper hand. Ye Liangchen's strength was far inferior to their master's, so he must have suffered a lot. Thinking of this, Biji and Ziji showed a look of heartache on their faces.

"What kind of looks are those two giving me?"

Seeing that Biji and Ziji felt sorry for Ye Liangchen, Gu Yuena was speechless, as if she was the one bullying Xiaochen.

"My lord, we don't mean anything by it. We just want to cook a good meal for Xiaochen, since he hasn't eaten for two days."

Yes! That's it.

The two women were too embarrassed to expose Gu Yuena's actions, so they could only make up an excuse to get rid of it.

"Sisters, no need to trouble yourselves. Sister Na and I are going to the far north."

Ye Liangchen waved his hand, telling the two women not to worry. It has to be said that these two women were quite concerned about him. They thought he had been ravaged by Gu Yuena in the Dragon Palace. Their imaginations were too rich!

"Oh well!"

The two women nodded, looking at Ye Liangchen's energetic and vigorous appearance. He seemed to be alright, so it seemed they had been overthinking things. This little guy had already become a god, so their master probably wouldn't be able to gain any advantage.

"Then take us with you!"

Seeing this, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress immediately wanted to return to the far north as well. The two women decided that after returning to the far north, they would temporarily entrust the management of the far north to the Titan Snow Demon King, and then plan to travel to the human world with Ye Liangchen.

"All right!"

"Whoosh..."

Gu Yuena and Ye Liangchen each grabbed the hands of Bingdi, Xuedi, and Yingmei, and soared into the sky, flying towards the far north.

At this moment, Ye Liangchen and Gu Yuena did not use their spatial divine power, but instead flew directly several thousand meters above the ground, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers.

"My lord, it's so high!"

This was the first time Hyotei had flown so high, and she felt a little nervous. At that moment, she tightly hugged Gu Yue Nazha's arm with both hands, like a pendant.

"What's this! You'll have the chance to go to the world outside Douluo Star in the future..."

"My lord, Ye Liangchen said he has the ability to resolve the heavenly tribulation of our ferocious beasts. Is that true?"

"That's right, from now on you'll all listen to him..."

Hyotei chattered excitedly with Gu Yuena.

Xue Di was alright, after all, this height was nothing to her. However, with Ye Liangchen holding her small hand, Xue Di's heart was pounding, and a shy expression appeared on her face, making her look very beautiful.

At this moment, Xue Di secretly glanced at Gu Yue Na and found that the other party was chatting with Bing Di with a normal expression and did not seem to care that Ye Liang Chen was holding her hand. Xue Di was very curious: Why is the master not jealous?

Why is this woman shy?

Yingmei, positioned to Ye Liangchen's left, found it amusing to see Xue Di, who was to Ye Liangchen's right, displaying a shy expression.

"Whoosh..."

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Liangchen and his group had arrived deep in the far north.

Throughout the journey, Ye Liangchen held Xue Di's hand, making her feel both shy and excited. Now that they had arrived at the Extreme Land, Ye Liangchen released Xue Di's hand, leaving her with a feeling of emptiness.

What's wrong with me?

The Snow Empress was a naturally born ice and snow goddess who did not understand human emotions. She also did not know what state she was in, and her mind was full of questions.

"Huh! The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm isn't here?"

The Silver Dragon King scanned the entire far north with his mental power but found no trace of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which was a bit strange.

"Let me see."

"Buzz..."

"Hey! That guy has already reached the Ice City, and he seems to be asking passersby for some information right now."

Ye Liangchen scanned the entire Douluo Star with his divine sense and quickly discovered the whereabouts of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Master, that ice silkworm has probably gone to the human world to find you."

"Now that you've become a god, I can tell that guy really wants to be your underling."

"That must be it."

After Yingmei, Bingdi, and Xuedi thought about how Tianmeng Bingcan had been rescued by Ye Liangchen, they started acting like sycophants, all in an attempt to curry favor with him.

"Possibly."

Ye Liangchen nodded and said that, given Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's personality, it was quite possible that it went to the human world to inquire about him.

"Never mind him for now, Xiao Chen, take out the Ice God's divine essence, let's repair it first."

Gu Yuena reminded Ye Liangchen to get down to business.

"good!"

"Buzz..."

With a thought, Ye Liangchen summoned the broken divine essence of the Ice God from his game inventory, mobilizing the power of ice from all directions to converge here.

"Whoosh..."

Seeing this, Gu Yuena also activated her elemental divine power to slowly repair the original laws of this divine core.

"You...you want to restore the divine essence left behind by the Ice God?"

"My lord, what can we do?"

Hyotei and Yuki-tei stared wide-eyed at the scene before them with curiosity.

"Pour the ultimate ice power within you into this."

Ye Liangchen thought that the two emperors of ice and snow both possessed extreme ice-attribute power, which might have some effect.

"good!"

Upon seeing this, the two women mobilized their respective ultimate ice power and poured it into the Ice God's broken divine core.

"Huh! It actually works."

After the two women infused her with their extreme ice-attribute power, Gu Yuena immediately felt that the speed of repairing her divine status had increased slightly.

Shadow Demon couldn't offer much help, so she could only quietly stand guard beside the group, keeping watch to prevent other soul beasts from entering the area.

"Whoosh..."

A few days later, a dazzling white light emanated from the Ice God's divine essence.

"Huff huff..."

At this moment, the icy power of the entire far north seemed to be drawn together, converging here and forming gusts of cold air.

"That's amazing."

The Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor looked at this amazing scene with a hint of envy in their eyes. How wonderful it would be if they could merge with the Ice God's divine spark!

"It's finally fixed."

Gu Yuena nodded excitedly. The broken divine essence of the Ice God had finally been repaired, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"Xiao Chen, put it away. After Bing'er inherits the position of Water God, let her fuse with this divine spark. With the blessing of two divine sparks, her strength may break through to a higher level."

"Snow Empress, the divine status of the Ice God is actually very suitable for you, but the Soul Beast race cannot become gods. There is no solution for the time being. We will wait until Xiao Chen becomes powerful enough to change the rules."

Gu Yuena handed the divine spark to Ye Liangchen, then looked at Xue Di's expectant expression and shook her head helplessly.

"My lord, there's no need to say that."

"Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul also possesses extreme ice attribute power, and this divine title is very suitable for her."

Xue Di longed to become a god, but she also knew that reality did not allow it.

"Snow Empress, don't be envious. Master will allow us to cultivate into gods in the future."

Yingmei was also there to comfort Xuedi, telling her not to worry.

"I know, Ye Liangchen told us about it some time ago." Xue Di nodded.

"Sister Na, I'm going back to Tenglong City now. Do you want to come and see me?"

Since becoming a god, Ye Liangchen has been wandering around and hasn't had a chance to report the good news to the higher-ups of Tenglong Pavilion and Tianshui Sect yet. However, Bibi Dong may have already informed everyone.

"I'm not able to move around in the human world, so you should go back now! Remember to come visit me when you have time."

"Whoosh..."

Although Gu Yuena had a good relationship with the Goddess of Life, she didn't dare to swagger around under the noses of the gods. So she opened a spatial passage and returned to the Lake of Life to quietly stay at home.

"Ye Liangchen, we'd like to visit your city and learn about human knowledge and lifestyles."

"May I?"

Seeing that Gu Yuena had left, the two Ice and Snow Emperors decided to go to the human world with Ye Liangchen. Compared to Gu Yuena, the two women preferred to be with Ye Liangchen, since they didn't have to bear the pressure of the Silver Dragon King's powerful bloodline in front of this human boy.

"Of course, no problem." Ye Liangchen nodded, then called the three women to head towards the Ice and Snow City.
