Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

Kong Tianxu gently pulled himself free from the blue-silver prison that had slowly enveloped him and Tang Ya. The pale-faced, satiated girl was still asleep in the grass cage she had woven. Her tattered silk clothes could not conceal her stunning figure, especially since several key areas were deliberately bound and tightened by the vines of the blue-silver grass, making her beautiful and alluring.

404?

A glimmer of blue light emerged from the horizon, piercing through layers of fine snow and morning mist, and suddenly appeared before him.

It was a bluish-gold coin, but it stood alone, devoid of its charm.

Kong Tianxu reached out and took it; it was warm to the touch, and he could almost feel the faint warmth of her body.

He stroked it, remaining silent for a moment.

A faint golden light began to appear behind him.

With four claws like a dragon, feet treading on golden flames, and three eyes, it clearly resembled the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious beast of emperors.

The faint golden light behind Kong Tianxu gradually solidified, unlike any soul skill or soul bone ability, but rather like a living being itself.

It walked to Kong Tianxu's side, raised its front paw, and tried to touch him.

The furry paw pads trembled slightly, but never fell.

It lowered its head, its two thin, golden ears softly pressed against the sides of its head, its eyes filled with entanglement and unease.

Kong Qiu'er, in her three-eyed golden lion form, spun around, her tail sweeping behind her like a puppy chasing its own tail, before finally slumping down next to Kong Tianxu.

It had the demeanor of a well-bred lady. Its tail was first neatly coiled in front of its hind legs to protect its belly, but it couldn't resist wriggling towards Kong Tianxu's feet from time to time, only to retract itself just before it touched him.

Kong Tianxu remained silent, and she was also hesitant to speak.

The only sounds in the air were the soft murmur of the morning breeze and the faint shouts from afar. Snowflakes drifted in through the window, landing on the shadows of the three-eyed golden lion, passing through its body, and melting into a small, damp patch on the ground.

"came back?"

Kong Tianxu's voice suddenly rang out, making Kong Qiu'er tremble all over. The tuft of tail that had been hovering near Kong Tianxu's ankle for a long time suddenly retracted, and the entire tail exploded into a golden ball of fur.

Before she could say anything, Kong Tianxu went straight back to the Sea God Pavilion's council hall.

The three-eyed golden lion quickly followed, its short legs moving swiftly, leaving a trail of blurry afterimages on the ground.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Tang Wutong and Tang Ya, and an indescribable feeling shot up her spine.

She swallowed hard and kept running.

Go down the stairs to the corridor.

The door at the end was getting closer. Kong Tianxu's figure grew taller and more indistinct in front of the door. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at that figure and suddenly had a feeling—if she didn't catch up with him before that door closed, she would never catch up again.

This sudden fear caused her to unleash unprecedented speed.

Before he could open the door, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and rolled between his two enormous legs. In the instant Kong Tianxu stopped, she quickly flipped over, landing on her back with her tongue slightly sticking out of her mouth, revealing her golden belly.

Kong Tianxu sneered, but stopped in his tracks.

The three-eyed golden lion hesitated and raised its head, gently touching his ankle with its front paw. Seeing that he didn't speak but didn't resist, it was delighted. While carefully rubbing its head against Kong Tianxu's feet, it used its mental power to draw crooked characters in the air, stealing glances at Kong Tianxu's reaction.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me?"

Kong Tianxu turned his face away.

The three-eyed golden lion panicked and quickly turned to face Kong Tianxu. Its claws moved like a dragon, and golden characters rapidly appeared in the air:

"My name is Kong Qiu'er now!"

The character "孔" was written particularly large and with great force.

Kong Tianxu changed direction.

"I'm sorry, I was too stupid. Huo Yuhao really isn't someone you can trust!"

The three-eyed golden lion continued to spin, its four short legs leaving afterimages as it dug along the ground.

Kong Tianxu turned again...

After countless attempts, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finally broke down. She clung tightly to Kong Tianxu's legs, her four paws gripping him tightly, her whole body pressed against him, like a koala hanging from a tree.

Intense spiritual will poured out with the tears of the soul, regardless of the cost:

"I was wrong, please don't ignore me..."

“Then you must remember,” Kong Tianxu finally bent down, reached out and lifted her up. The moment their bodies and souls touched, the intense feeling of their souls becoming one made the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stare blankly into Kong Tianxu’s eyes.

“You are mine,” he said, extending a hand.

"I am yours, of course I am yours, my love, my body, my destiny and soul, all of them are yours." The three-eyed golden lion stretched out its front paws without reservation.

As the ice and snow melted, the barrier that had seemed like an insurmountable chasm when they first met finally faded somewhat in Kong Tianxu's eyes.

"Then we'll see how you perform from now on."

The three-eyed golden lion was overjoyed and could not contain its excitement, its tail wagging wildly behind it.

The next moment, she transformed into a faint golden color and merged into Kong Tianxu's body.

What Kong Tianxu felt was an indescribable gentleness washing over him. The body and bones of the imperial auspicious beast turned as clear as crystal, and the power of destiny no longer clashed with him.

Kong Tianxu gently touched his left chest, feeling the spontaneous joy, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

He straightened his appearance and pushed open the door.

Zhongli Wu stood respectfully outside to greet him.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders for summoning me here?"

The level of subservience in their posture was unprecedented.

Before this beast tide, Zhongli Wu never imagined that any human could defeat or even kill the Beast God Di Tian. Unless someone was crazy, no one had ever considered such a possibility.

That's none other than the Beast God Emperor Tian!

But Kong Tianxu did it under the spotlight of thousands, and even turned it into his own soul ring, doing it with unrestrained pride and nonchalant ease.

He couldn't afford to offend them, and he made up his mind that from now on he would never confront Kong Tianxu again, while also keeping his safety firmly tied to Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.

Long Xiaoyao's recent unusual behavior is actually part of his plan.

"Mr. Zhongli, you have worked hard this time. However, this is wartime, and orders cannot wait for anyone. Now that Shrek Academy has been defeated, the second phase of the war between the original three kingdoms will begin soon. The army and several top experts are all outside, leaving Mingdu vulnerable. Shrek Academy will have to relocate there. We need a Soul Master to guard the center and prevent troublemakers and the dying counterattack of the original three kingdoms. I favor you to take on this important task."

Kong Tianxu smiled.

Zhongli Wu's head was covered in cold sweat in an instant.

In his view, Kong Tianxu was practically saying: Don't stay by Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui's side, just go back to Ming and wait for me to come and kill you!

What happened? Was it discovered that I guided Uncle Long to think about my mother's mental control? Or was it that I instigated Wu Yun, Wu Yu, and others to create internal divisions? Or was it discovered that my core elders had been secretly maintaining the old bloody cultivation methods?

One terrifying guess after another surfaced in Zhongli Wu's mind, but before he could utter his words of refusal, Kong Tianxu continued:

"However, Mr. Zhongli, please rest assured that your battle achievements in overseeing the central command are certainly no less than anyone else's. I do know a little about the cultivation method of the Demon Puppet Martial Soul. Mr. Zhongli has been stuck at level 97 for quite some time now. I wonder if the corpse of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King can help you break through this bottleneck?"

Zhongli Wu's words, which he had been preparing for a long time, got stuck in his throat.

He didn't expect to get the soul, since Kong Tianxu had already absorbed the soul rings and soul bones. But if he could use the Beast God Di Tian's true form as food for the Bone Dragon King...

He subconsciously clenched his fist in his sleeve.

Zhongli Wu knew very well what would happen if he were to obtain the remains of the Beast God Di Tian.

Even if he couldn't create the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King puppet without a soul, with the physical strength and bloodline of the Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​once he was devoured by the Bone Dragon King, he would be invincible—no, second in the world!

He could even use this puppet to directly reach the Limit Douluo level.

Greedy desires, like countless insects, gnawed at Zhongli Wu's heart.

However, Zhongli Wu was also a shrewd and calculating man. Although he was extremely excited inside, he remained calm on the surface and said, "Thank you for your trust, but the defense of Mingdu is a matter of great importance. I dare not say that there will be no problem on my own. I still need to borrow a few experts from the sect from the Holy Emperor to assist me."

"Which?"

Zhongli Wu named several people, including Feng Ling and a Super Douluo.

"Approved."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will go and make preparations before setting off immediately."

Zhongli Wu turned around and breathed a sigh of relief. It was true that his Death God Demon Puppet Martial Soul was mainly based on beast soul flesh puppet, but few people knew that he also inherited part of Ye Xishui Blood Soul Demon Puppet's ability to devour human soul essence blood.

This is the essence of the Death God Puppet, which is a step further than the Blood Soul Puppet. As long as there is high-quality "food," it can forcibly break through the bottleneck.

For example, the essence of a Super Douluo would be enough for him to knock on the gate of level 98. If Feng Ling's cultivation were even higher, he would even dare to devour two people in a row to break through the threshold of Limit Douluo.

With this assurance, Zhongliwu was confident that he could always protect himself.

Watching his departing figure, a smile gradually appeared on Kong Tianxu's face, a smile tinged with chilling murderous intent.

Zhongliwu, then I wish you good luck.

Zhongli Wu was considered intelligent among pure-blooded evil soul masters, but these people who had been immersed in killing for a long time would always have some mental problems. Stubbornness and being easily blinded by greed were just the most insignificant aspects.

"Sect Master." After Zhongli Wu left, the space opened, and Kong Deming walked out with the Golden-bodied Douluo Jinpeng, his head bowed.

"Is Your Majesty still unwilling to come?" Kong Tianxu frowned slightly as he looked at his expression.

“Yes,” Jin Peng sighed, his face full of sorrow. “Brother Poison said that everyone must die eventually, and to die in the right place is already a blessing.”

Kong Tianxu let out a long breath.

“Then let’s stick to our original plan,” he waved his hand. “Let Your Majesty fight a good fight. A hundred years ago, Senior Poisonous Death defeated Dragon God Mu En by a single level difference. Although he severely injured him, he ultimately died before him, falling short in the eyes of the world. This time, we must punish the greatest evil in the world and fully demonstrate the power of Your Majesty!”

"Yes." Jin Peng wiped away his tears with his sleeve, bowed again, and took his leave.

"There were heroes in the Three Kingdoms period."

Kong Deming sighed for a moment, then looked away from Kong Tianxu and asked, "Aren't you going back?"

Kong Tianxu shook his head: "I'm not going back. Time waits for no one. Although I managed to get those two beasts from the Haotian Sect to touch the Silver Dragon King, they are gods after all. I can't sleep or eat in peace until they are eliminated. The Snow Emperor is also a soul beast. Her innate energy has not yet been combined with her wisdom, so her understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is relatively slow. The Ice God is also a first-level god, so refining him will definitely not be quick. I need to improve my strength as soon as possible to take over the position of the God of Destruction."

He turned around and looked at Kong Deming, the coldness on his face softening slightly:

"Grandpa, please take good care of Tianzhen and the others. Let Lexuan take over as the headmaster of Shrek Academy."

After saying this, he didn't linger. Ripples spread across the space beneath his feet like water, and his figure gradually became transparent within those ripples.

In the blink of an eye, a streak of purple-gold light pierced the morning sky, leaving a faint golden trail in the air as it sped toward the distant horizon.

As the dawn intensifies and the sun rises, light and color will be cast upon the earth for the umpteenth time. But the night that has just passed is destined to be extraordinary.

……

Inside Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe led Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui on a stroll, recounting his growth, his pride, and his loneliness to each other. At the most emotional moments, he and Long Xiaoyao broke down in tears, their faces streaked with emotion.
