In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

"That kid..." Watching Tang Chen, whom he had once placed high hopes on but then abandoned, being killed, the Asura God couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. He was about to get up, but then sat back down, a relieved smile appearing on his face. "So be it. As long as this kid can gain the Asura Demon Sword's approval, what harm is there in passing the Asura Godhood to him..."

Of course, if he knew that Lan Ji had taken the Asura Demon Sword for his wife, he probably wouldn't think that way.

The bedroom of the god of destruction and the goddess of life.

"Destruction, is this the human who is compatible with both of our divine positions?" the Goddess of Life asked the God of Destruction.

The God of Destruction nodded. "It should be him. At such a young age, without undergoing the divine test, he has reached the limit that the Douluo Continent can withstand. Moreover, he can use two martial souls at the same time and perform a martial soul fusion skill. He is truly a formidable young man."

"Unfortunately, he was ultimately just one person," the Goddess of Life sighed. Life in the divine realm was monotonous and dull, like a stagnant pool. This was why many divine holders were eager to find successors, for only by passing on their divine positions could they venture to explore higher worlds and begin a new life.

The sea god is like this, the Asura god is like this, and the god of destruction and the saintess will be no exception.

It's just that they are picky about who will inherit the position. After all, it's a divine position that they painstakingly created, and they all have an inseparable emotional attachment to it. No one wants the person who inherits their divine position to be weak. At best, they might not be able to withstand the divine power and die from their body exploding. But if the position is passed down and they can't exert the power that the divine position should have, then it would be a great loss.

This is also why the God of Asura wanted to focus on cultivating Tang San.

"That's not necessarily true..." The God of Destruction revealed a mysterious smile.

The goddess of life's eyes lit up. "You mean...?"

"Two gods coexisting, that kid can use two martial souls at the same time and even fuse them together, which is something ordinary people cannot do." The God of Destruction said with a smile.

"What about the Divine Realm Organizing Committee? And the Asura side too. This young man just killed the Asura's successor; the Asura might have some bad intentions. Besides, we don't know much about this young man yet. Can he really take over the reins of the Divine Realm from us?" The Goddess of Life asked hesitantly.

"The coexistence of two gods does not violate the regulations of the God Realm Organizing Committee. We don't need to worry about Shura. If he dares to break the law, I'll be the first to cripple him. I haven't even settled accounts with him for sending an alien soul to Douluo Continent last time." The God of Destruction sneered. "However, what you said makes sense. Let's observe him a little longer. I want to see what kind of changes he can bring to Douluo Continent."

...........

Nothingness. The lightning dissipated, leaving the earth in nothingness. Tang Chen's voice had vanished, leaving only a two-meter-long, blood-red greatsword floating in mid-air.

Beside the blood-red greatsword, there was also a scarlet halo and eight soul bones.

Needless to say, the blood-red greatsword was the Asura Demon Sword that Tang Chen had used earlier. Because Tang Chen had poured all his cultivation and killing intent into the Asura Demon Sword, even though its master was not present, it still possessed immense power and spirituality after unleashing its strongest attack. Its killing intent was almost tangible, and even Limit Douluo dared not approach it easily.

The crimson spirit ring belonged to the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King. Its ability to parasitize Tang Chen's body undoubtedly indicated that its cultivation had reached over 100,000 years ago. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to hold its own against Lan Ji in close combat while controlling Tang Chen's body, and it had even seen through the weakness of the Azure Lotus Domain's final evolved skill, 'Mirror Heaven Reversal,' demonstrating its formidable power.

As for the last seven spirit rings, six of them are Tang Chen's spirit bones, each over 50,000 years old, far stronger than Tang Ritian's. The highest one even reaches 100,000 years old. The 100,000-year-old left arm bone was likely obtained by him when he hunted for his ninth spirit ring during his lifetime.

The remaining two pieces were both produced by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King. One piece corresponds exactly to the torso bone that Lan Ji is missing, but Lan Ji doesn't want to absorb it. His target for the torso bone is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The other piece is more interesting; it's actually an external soul bone, specifically for the wings—the wings of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King.

Lan Ji had already experienced its power firsthand. In addition to its ability to fly, it also possessed extremely strong destructive power. If the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Spears had not evolved to the god level, it would probably not have been able to tear it apart.

Lan Ji decisively put away the eight soul bones and turned his gaze to the scarlet halo. As for the Asura Demon Sword, he didn't even glance at it; a flash of blue light appeared in his hand, and he stored it into his Azure Lotus Space.

While the Azure Lotus Space cannot hide people, it can hide objects, as had been tested before when the Vast Ocean Protective Shield was given to the pajama-clad Bibi Dong for purification. Now, the Asura Demon Sword still contains the will and soul imprint of the Asura God, containing all eight trials Tang Chen had completed, as well as the unfinished ninth trial. He certainly didn't want his wife to see that old Asura God causing trouble when she completed the ninth trial.

At this moment, Bibi Dong flew over, accompanied by Qian Daoliu and Jin E. As for Chen Xin, he merely cupped his hands in greeting to Lan Ji from a distance, and after Lan Ji nodded in acknowledgment, he left directly. The epic battle between Lan Ji and Tang Chen had deeply affected him; he needed to go back and process it properly. Perhaps, in his lifetime, he could break through to level ninety-eight.

"Aji, how are you feeling? Are you hurt anywhere?" As soon as Bibi Dong arrived, she examined Lan Ji's body from head to toe. After confirming that he had just consumed too much soul power, she breathed a sigh of relief and injected her own soul power into Lan Ji's body to help him recover.

"It's alright, don't you trust my strength? I'll recover in a moment." Lan Ji smiled gently, shook her head, and refused Bibi Dong's soul power.

Chapter 376 Lan Si's Decision

This scene left the Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was standing nearby, completely astonished.

Is this still the same vicious and ruthless woman he knew? When did she become so gentle? Also, her relationship with her son-in-law is a bit too intimate. If you didn't know better, you'd think they weren't mother and son-in-law, but boyfriend and girlfriend.

Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong with a strange expression, sighing inwardly. As someone who had been through it all, he could confirm it: it seemed... Bibi Dong had taken a liking to him, her granddaughter's husband, and Lan Ji felt the same way. Upon closer inspection, the two did indeed look quite like a couple. The way they looked at each other was genuine, filled only with deep affection, just like how he looked at Poseidon.

These relationships are a mess... Oh well... Anyway, I'm an old man who's about to die anyway. My children and grandchildren have their own lives to live, so I'll leave these troublesome matters to them to solve themselves.

Thinking this to himself, Qian Daoliu coughed lightly, breaking the awkward atmosphere, "Aji, let me introduce you. This is the Second Elder of the Spirit Hall, Jin E, a level 98 peak Douluo. In terms of seniority, he is even above me. He is the most senior person in our Spirit Hall. You can call him Master Jin E..."

Before he could even utter the word "Grandpa," Lan Ji quickly interrupted, bowing to Golden Crocodile Douluo and saying, "Greetings, Senior Golden Crocodile." He would never call him Grandpa; even if he did, it would only be out of respect for Qian Daoliu.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was a burly old man. Seeing Lan Ji bow to him, he stroked his white beard and hurriedly said with a smile, "Hehe...no need for formalities. You are a formidable young man. You are a formidable young man indeed. Miss has not misjudged you."

One Sword Supreme

Seeing Qian Daoliu and Jin E acting superior because of their age, Bibi Dong felt a surge of displeasure. She said calmly, "Alright, you've seen the show and met the people. If there's nothing else, you two should hurry back to Wuhun City. Aji, this Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King that parasitizes Tang Chen's body is over 100,000 years old. The quality of its spirit rings is even higher than that of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. Your second spirit is still two spirit ring slots short, so absorb its spirit rings."

The first half of the sentence was spoken in an exceptionally cold tone. The second half, however, was gentle, delicate, and melodious.

The two completely different attitudes and the differential treatment were immediately apparent.

"You..." Golden Crocodile Douluo was enraged by Bibi Dong's attitude and wanted to lash out, but Qian Daoliu stopped him with a look. He said to Lan Ji, "Aji, Xiao Xue has passed the sixth test and is now undergoing the seventh test. She will emerge from seclusion in less than two years and achieve the position of Angel God. I hope you will treat her well in the future."

"I will." Lan Ji was unaware that Qian Daoliu had seen through his relationship with Bibi Dong and thought that the other party was about to die and was giving his last words, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu, unsure whether Lan Ji genuinely didn't understand or was pretending, sighed softly, gave Lan Ji a meaningful look, and turned to leave. Golden Crocodile Douluo followed closely behind.

Watching Qian Daoliu and Jin E disappear, Lan Ji looked at Bibi Dong with some surprise, "Dong'er, did that old man Qian Daoliu figure out our relationship?"

"I don't know." Bibi Dong shook her head. She had no good feelings towards Qian Daoliu and his group.

"Fine, so be it. I'll have to explain to Xue'er sooner or later anyway. I've already asked Qinglian to remove the soul imprint left by the Asura God on the Asura Demon Sword. It might take some time. I'll give it back to you later. With your strength, gaining the Asura God's approval shouldn't be difficult," Lan Ji said with a smile.

“The Asura God is one of the five great law enforcement gods in the divine realm. His divine position is above the Sea God, the Angel God, and the Rakshasa God. Why don’t you inherit it?” Bibi Dong said hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, Lan Ji pulled Bibi Dong into his arms, gently pinched her delicate nose, kissed her, and smiled, "This was prepared for you, so how could I take it back? Besides, I don't like this divine position."

"What will you do if you don't have a divine position?" Bibi Dong asked with some concern.

Lan Ji smiled and said, "Have you forgotten about the world of Bad Guys? Ever since my soul power broke through to level 99, I have already felt the power of faith there. I will go there later to help that girl unify the world and quell the war. That place is much more difficult to fight than Douluo Continent here."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong wanted to say something more, but Lan Ji interrupted her, "Alright, don't think too much about it. Things will work themselves out. I'll absorb this spirit ring first. You protect me from here."

As he spoke, Lan Ji sat down cross-legged in mid-air.

Qinglian's reminder made him aware that the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life were paying attention to him. He had an idea: when he inherited the positions of the two God-Kings of Destruction and Life, he would use the power of faith he obtained from the world of Bad Guys to merge them into a completely new god-king, an existence that would surpass even the God-Kings.

A 100,000-year spirit ring is nothing to Lan Ji now. After spending an hour absorbing the spirit ring of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, Lan Ji took Bibi Dong back to the City of Slaughter, announced the death of the King of Slaughter, and summoned the law enforcers of the City of Slaughter to subdue them one by one, so that the City of Slaughter would not be unable to function properly.

After settling everything in the City of Slaughter, Lan Ji returned to the Spirit Hall with Bibi Dong.

"Brother." Su Xiaoxiao, who had already been taught the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique and the Supreme Sacred Universe Technique by Lan Ji, came forward immediately. With the help of Lan Ji, a powerful expert who had mastered the two techniques to their highest level, she easily completed the Foundation Establishment process. Now, both techniques had reached the peak of the first level. She only needed to wait until she turned six to awaken her Martial Soul.

Perhaps because she only had one relative left in the world, the little girl was very attached to Lan Ji. For a while after arriving in Wuhun City, she even needed to hold Lan Ji every night to fall asleep. It wasn't until she gradually became familiar with Bibi Dong and the others that she became a little better.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here? Isn't today the day you awaken your martial soul?" Lan Ji patted Su Xiaoxiao's head.

"I..." Su Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed, and her gaze darted away.

Lan Ji asked with concern, "Are you worried that you won't awaken a good martial soul? You can rest assured about that. As long as you continue to cultivate the two techniques I taught you, even if the quality of your martial soul isn't high, it will gradually become stronger as the techniques improve."

"No... I want my brother to help me awaken my martial soul." Su Xiaoxiao raised her cute little face, her big, watery eyes staring straight at Lan Ji, and said timidly, "Is that not possible...?"

"Uh... of course." Lan Ji's lips twitched. He asked a subordinate of the Spirit Hall for a pair of awakening stones and began to awaken the little girl's spirit.

P.S.: Second update. Requesting recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Third update still in progress.

Chapter 377 Two Years Later

The first martial soul: Blue Silver Grass, emanating the signature pale white flames of the Supreme Divine Universe Technique.

Second Martial Soul: A small, dark gold hammer, quite different from the Clear Sky Hammer, covered with blue electric arcs generated by the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique.

These are Su Xiaoxiao's two martial souls, inherited from her mother and father respectively.

Although she cultivated both techniques to the peak of the first level and completed the Foundation Establishment ahead of schedule, her innate full soul power did not reach the maximum level because of the short cultivation time, less than half a month. Like Lan Ji, who cultivated for two months, she only had level five soul power.

"Aji, is this the effect of the cultivation technique? She actually developed twin martial souls just like you." Looking at the two martial souls in Su Xiaoxiao's hands, Bibi Dong asked with some surprise.

"Hmm, it seems I guessed right. This kind of complementary cultivation method really can create twin martial souls. I'll go see Ah Yin in a few days and see if she has any way to help Xiao Xiao awaken the Blue Silver Emperor." Lan Ji nodded, without showing any surprise on his face.

"Brother, can I become as powerful as you in the future?" The little girl put away her two martial souls, walked quickly to Lan Ji's side, grabbed his arm, and showed an expectant expression.

"Of course." Lan Ji gave an affirmative answer. Although he had already intercepted such a high configuration due to various opportunities, it would not be much worse than Tang San in the original work.

.............

Lan Ji's life returned to normal. During the period when the Asura Demon Sword was purified, he traveled daily between Douluo Continent and the Bad Guys world, appearing in various towns and regions of the Bad Guys world. He repeatedly displayed his divine power, helping the Qi Kingdom unify step by step at the smallest cost. Later, he brought high-yield crops and a large amount of aid from Douluo Continent, solving the food and clothing problems within the Qi Kingdom. Various inventions for later generations emerged one after another, causing the population of the Qi Kingdom to surge.

It must be said that Lan Ji went to great lengths to collect faith, working like a workaholic, clearing mountains and building roads. In less than two years, he opened up all the major transportation routes in the country, enabling Qi Kingdom to unify the world. At the same time, he also brought in Bibi Dong, who, based on later generations, formulated a set of systems for Qi Kingdom that were compatible with the contemporary context.

While popularizing education, Lan Ji was portrayed as a great man, a god, and revered by millions. This allowed Lan Ji to garner a large amount of faith power.

At the same time, it also resolved the hidden dangers of the Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongols at their root. After dealing with those ambitious people, it would perform miracles (space teleportation) every once in a while to relocate them to the Central Plains, where they would learn the Han language, wear Han clothing, and so on, thus completing the ethnic integration ahead of schedule.

In an instant, the chaotic world entered a period of peaceful development and a population explosion.

With the deity Lan Ji presiding over the place, there is almost no room for ambitious people to survive.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall was also busy.

Yes, after everything was ready, the Martial Soul Empire was officially established.

This move startled the die-hard loyalists of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, who were still kept in the dark.

For a time, the people of both empires were filled with fear and unease.

The Star Luo Empire was in a panic, like ants on a hot pan. Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, who was actually a stand-in for Qian Renxue, and the royal loyalists led by Ge Long played a game of cat and mouse, using the excuse that Lan Ji was in seclusion to advance to the title of Douluo and waiting for him to emerge from seclusion to silence the gossip.

..............

On this day, Wuhun City ushered in a big day.

Ye Lengleng and Zhu Zhuqing both broke through to level ninety in soul power. The soul imprint left by the Asura God on the Asura Demon Sword was completely purified by the Azure Lotus.

"Zhu Qing, Leng Leng, congratulations! From now on, you two are true Title Douluos." Lan Ji congratulated the two beauties.

Bibi Dong was equally delighted and, in her capacity as "Sister Dong'er," prepared gifts for both of them.

Among the gifts prepared for Ye Lengleng was a pair of priceless ice-blue jade pendants, a type of soul tool capable of unleashing attacks comparable to those of a Soul Master. Although they were of no use to Ye Lengleng now, they were still a token of affection.

For Zhu Zhuqing, it was a black choker that perfectly matched her style. Although it wasn't an expensive item, it was handmade by Bibi Dong. This gesture deeply moved Zhu Zhuqing, who had never experienced the warmth of family before.

"Thank you, Sister Dong'er." Ye Lengleng and Zhu Zhuqing were clearly very happy after receiving the gifts. Each of them took one of Bibi Dong's hands and expressed their gratitude to her affectionately.

Bibi Dong smiled slightly and teased Lan Ji, "Aji, both of your sisters have broken through to the Title Douluo level. You can't just offer a congratulatory message without any other gesture, can you?"

“I’ve already given you my gift.” Lan Ji gave the kitten and Ye Leng Leng a meaningful look. The two women turned their heads away, a blush creeping across their faces.

Yes, the moment their soul power broke through level ninety, Lan Ji delivered the gift to their door, stripping himself naked and offering himself to them.
