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

Lan Ji smiled faintly and said, "No, your father and your mother, Zhu Qing, met in a forest not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, on the only way from Notting City to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"At that time, my father was preparing to obtain his third spirit ring. He encountered Zhu Qing's mother, who was being chased, in that forest. They fell in love at first sight, and later met again in Soto City, which is when they confirmed their relationship."

"Wow...a hero saving a damsel in distress, how romantic!" Lan Lin'er's two big, round eyes gleamed with a dazzling light, her gossipy soul ignited, and she hurriedly asked for details.

Lan Ji lovingly put his daughter down and told her everything without reservation.

Bibi Dong was extremely jealous and didn't forget to expose Lan Ji's dark past.

This made Lan Ji smile wryly.

The family of three eventually stopped in front of a shop, went inside, and met Flanders, whom they hadn't seen for many years.

"Dean Flander, it's been a long time." Bibi Dong knew that Lan Ji knew Flander, so she naturally led her daughter to stroll around the shop, looking for new gadgets. She left the space to Lan Ji.

At this time, Flander was obviously much older, with his hair and beard all white. Perhaps because of the disbandment of Shrek City of Heaven Dou, he couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart, and so far he has stopped at level 79 and has not broken through to Soul Douluo.

Upon seeing Lan Ji and Zhu Zhuqing, he was visibly taken aback. He looked them up and down again, and after confirming that he hadn't mistaken them for someone else, he said with some excitement and surprise, "Lan Ji? It's been many years. Everyone says that you became a Title Douluo in your early twenties. I wouldn't have been able to do that before, but now that I see you're so young, I believe it."

Lan Ji smiled faintly and said, "Dean Flander, how have you been lately?"

"It's alright. I've already handed Shrek Academy over to Qin Ming and Xiao Ao. Now I spend my days basking in the sun with a few old friends, and life's not too bad." Flander smiled first, then asked Lan Ji somewhat nervously, "I already know about Tang San and Dai Mubai. How are Erlong and Xiao Gang doing? Any news about Hong Jun?"

Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Ma Hongjun are respectively Flander's brother, Flander's dream lover, and Flander's disciple.

Since their parting at Heaven Dou City, Flander had completely lost contact with the three. Later, Oscar left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School due to its closure and came to seek refuge with them, only to learn that the three had disappeared with Tang San and Dai Mubai. Now, Tang San and Dai Mubai were evil soul masters whom everyone on the continent wanted to kill, and they had been brought to justice.

Only Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Ma Hongjun are missing.

He was worried that something might happen to the three of them.

“They have no deep-seated hatred for the Federation, nor have they broken any laws. I think they’re probably hiding because they’re afraid of being held accountable by the Federation,” Lan Ji told a white lie that wasn’t really a lie.

"That's good...that's good..." Flander breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze turning to Bibi Dong and Lin'er, "And these two are..."

“They are my wife and daughter,” Lan Ji said.

Upon hearing this, Flander assumed that Lan Ji had abandoned Zhu Zhuqing after starting something, and his brows furrowed immediately. "What about Zhuqing? She was willing to be an enemy of the entire Star Luo Empire for your sake."

“Dean Flander, I think you’ve misunderstood something.” Lan Ji smiled and wasn’t angry. He explained, “I have five wives in total. Zhu Qing and Leng Leng are both wives. There’s another one you should know. She’s the granddaughter of the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue.”

"Holy crap, that kid's got him! He even managed to snag that Angel God." Flander's brow instantly relaxed, and he gave Lan Ji a thumbs up. Then, as if remembering something, he said somewhat sheepishly, "That Lan Ji... oh no... Your Majesty Lan Ji..."

"Dean Flander, you wouldn't be teaching at some shady school again, not having taken the exam to get the academy's qualifications, and now you want me to solve your school establishment problem for you?" Lan Ji said, somewhat speechless.

"Yes, yes... isn't the budget a bit tight?" Flander glanced at Bibi Dong and her daughter, then quickly reverted to his usual miserly demeanor. "Many facilities can't be fully purchased, it's tough..."

Lan Ji's lips twitched violently. Considering that Flander had previously looked after Zhu Zhuqing and had just defended her, he casually pulled out a gold card and tossed it to Flander. "Dean Flander, this is 100,000 gold soul coins. Consider it payment for my wife and children. As for whether you can qualify to establish an academy, that's up to you. Also, compulsory education is now universal, so stop fooling those inexperienced young soul masters. They're not stupid."

Upon hearing this, Flander accepted the gold card and obsequiously agreed, but a bitter feeling welled up in his heart. Indeed, since the establishment of the Douluo Federation, Shrek Academy had not been able to recruit a single student because it lacked the qualifications of an academy. Even if they managed to trick one or two students in, they would soon be caught by the Douluo Federation.

For this reason, the Spirit Hall has caused Shrek a lot of trouble.

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

For the final stop, Lan Ji arrived at the place where he grew up, Qingdi City.

Its original name was Nottingham.

Because Lan Ji was originally named the Azure Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, he proudly changed his name.

Although the Heavenly Dou Empire no longer exists, the Azure Emperor City still remains.

The place name comes from this.

The Lan family of three strolled down the street, and from a distance they saw a Spirit Hall staff member banging drums and shouting in the street:

"Hurry! Master Su Yuntao has returned to Qingdi City today and will personally awaken martial souls for eligible children... Parents with children aged six or older, please take note... If your child hasn't awakened their martial soul yet, hurry and take them to awaken it..."

Upon hearing this, the crowd on the street was immediately invigorated, and regardless of whether there were any school-aged children, they all rushed to the Spirit Hall.

Su Yuntao is now a very popular figure in Qingdi City, and he is quite famous throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

He is known as a god-like guide.

The reason is simple: he awakened a martial soul for Lan Ji.

Having achieved the title of Title Douluo at just over twenty years old, no one doubts that Lan Ji will become the third god of the Douluo Federation after Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.

Su Yuntao gained fame and fortune as a result, and his status in the Spirit Hall soared, eventually leading to his transfer to the Spirit Holy Hall, which was second only to the three main halls of Spirit City.

Even members of many large families are willing to spend a lot of money to seek his help to awaken the martial spirit of their descendants.

For a time, it was like a spring breeze, the only pity was that Sisi was gone.

The woman Su Yuntao once loved so passionately married someone else before he achieved fame and success.

Sadly.

Chapter 425 Creator Gods

"Daddy, who is Master Su Yuntao?" Standing on the main street of Qingdi City, looking at the bustling crowd in front of the Spirit Hall, Lan Lin'er, who was being held in Lan Ji's arms, tilted her cute little head and asked with some curiosity.

"Hmm...he's a decent person. He's the one who helped my father awaken his martial soul." Lan Ji thought for a moment and then answered with affection.

The three then went to Otto's house, stayed in Qingdi City for a few days, visited Notting Academy which had been converted into Qingdi Academy, and then returned to Wuhun City.

To Lan Ji's great surprise, Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lengleng had returned, bringing with them two people who were both unexpected and expected: the projections of the wills of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction.

Over the years, they have all been observing Lan Ji.

At the same time, they also witnessed the changes in Douluo Continent.

After confirming that Lan Ji was not a truly evil person, they decided to pass on the divine position.

"Greetings, seniors." These were the first words Lan Ji spoke upon seeing the two.

The God of Destruction nodded. "It seems Healing has told you about us. I won't waste any more words. In fact, ever since you unleashed god-level combat power in your battle against the previous successor of the God of Asura, Life and I have been watching you closely. Your Azure Lotus Martial Soul is very compatible with the Godhood of Life, and that hammer matches my Godhood of Destruction. I intend to pass on our divine positions to you. What do you think?"

"Can one person inherit two divine positions at the same time?" Lan Ji feigned surprise.

The Goddess of Life added, "Ordinary people might not be able to do it, and even if they could, they would need another person as a medium. But you are different. For some reason, you can use two martial souls at the same time, and you have developed an unprecedented self-martial soul fusion technique. Before you became a god, both your physical body and mental strength reached a level comparable to that of a god, so you can complete it."

Having said that, Lan Ji gladly accepted the two divine positions. He used his two martial souls as vessels to fuse the two divine positions of life and destruction, along with the immense power of faith he had collected from the world of Bad Guys, to create the God of Creation.

From then on, the Douluo Federation welcomed its fifth god, who was also the strongest being in its history.

The Temple of Life and Destruction.

"It's truly astonishing that you've actually merged our divine positions, making you an existence no less than the Dragon God at his peak." The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life were both shocked and gratified. Although they were tired of the monotonous life in the divine realm and wanted to relinquish their divine positions and leave, who wouldn't want their hard-earned divine positions to be further developed and glorified?

The Asura God is like this, the Sea God is like this, and so is destruction and life.

"I have to thank the two seniors for their help." Lan Ji nodded.

The God of Destruction waved his hand, "This is all what you deserve, there's no need to be so modest. Since that's the case, then we can rest assured. However, I still have to remind you, you should already know about Shura's side."

Lan Ji nodded slightly. "I've heard about it."

The Goddess of Life added in a voice as clear as jade beads: "Back then, you defeated the previous successor of the Asura God and took the Asura Demon Sword. Originally, he wanted to choose you as his successor, but you chose to give the Asura Demon Sword to that girl named Bibi Dong. Perhaps he already harbors resentment towards you. Although he is no longer the Asura God, he still holds the reins of power until the new Asura God ascends to the God Realm."

The God of Destruction added, "My wife and I will keep an eye on him for you until you ascend to the divine realm, but without any evidence, we can't do anything to him. Be careful in the future."

"Thank you both, seniors." Lan Ji nodded again. "However, please keep my matter of forming a new divine position a secret for the time being."

“Of course. Well then, young man, farewell. We’ll meet again in the realm of gods a hundred years from now.” The God of Destruction nodded, embraced the Goddess of Life, and the two shrank into specks of light, disappearing from the temple.

Looking at the spot where the two had disappeared, Lan Ji muttered, "The God of Asura? It seems you really haven't given up your evil intentions. Just you wait..."

...........

Upon returning to Wuhun City, Lan Ji proposed to Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lengleng, and the Empress.

They did not publicly disclose the mother-daughter relationship between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.

Only a few high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall knew about this.

The relationship between Lan Ji and Bibi Dong was already an open secret within the Spirit Hall.

Although they knew that Lan Ji had married Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, a mother and daughter pair, no one dared to discuss it, much less talk about it.

In their hearts, apart from the suddenly appearing Empress, the others were all gods, unapproachable beings. They were also the founders of the Douluo Federation and the actual rulers of the Spirit Hall. Anyone who dared to discuss their superiors would be courting death.

Therefore, they all tacitly chose to turn a blind eye, and what they felt most was admiration and envy for Lan Ji.

I admire Lan Ji for being able to win over Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, the goddess mother and daughter, and I envy Lan Ji for being able to marry five beautiful wives.

The wedding was attended by many people, including Otto, Ye Shengxin, Zhu Tianhao, and other family members of the couple.

From the titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall to the city lords of various towns and the deans of junior spirit master academies, everyone came.

Su Yuntao was among them. He had been summoned by Lan Ji out of a mischievous impulse. As a result, many important figures who knew that Su Yuntao had awakened Lan Ji's martial soul assumed that Su Yuntao and Lan Ji had an unusual relationship and came forward to offer him a toast, making the master feel flattered.

Of course, Lan Ji didn't invite these unrelated people for nothing.

Besides the grand wedding, the announcement also included changes to the cultivation system of Douluo Continent.

—Soul Masters no longer rely on Soul Rings for cultivation, and Soul Beasts will not regenerate Soul Rings or Soul Bones after they die.

—A Soul Tower was built in every city. Anyone whose soul power reaches a bottleneck can go to the Soul Tower to condense a soul ring. The lifespan of the soul ring is determined by the individual's ability to withstand it.

—Soul bones are randomly generated by the Soul Tower when a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring. The probability of generating them is the same as the probability of generating them when hunting Soul Beasts. They cannot be absorbed by others, cannot be passed on, and disappear automatically after the Soul Master dies.

—Martial spirits are no longer inherited through bloodlines, but are generated randomly.

Aside from god-level martial souls, most of the existing martial souls familiar to the world, such as the Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Seven Kill Sword, Lone Wolf, Blue Silver Grass, White Tiger, and Netherworld Cat, have been changed from bloodline inheritance to random inheritance.

These words caused a stir, with some rejoicing and others grieving.

Some former Tiandou and Xingluo nobles who escaped retribution before the establishment of the Douluo Federation by siding with the Spirit Empire early on looked as if they had eaten shit, their faces extremely ugly. Yet they were helpless.

Those who were originally meritorious officials of the Spirit Empire and made great contributions to the establishment of the Douluo Federation were relatively calm.
