Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

One of the strongest beings on the continent today, the Martial Soul Golden Dragon King, has repelled countless beast tides and enjoys extremely high prestige.

"Godfather!"

Just as Lu Cheng stepped into the banquet with a calm expression, a cheerful female voice rang out, and then a girl in a snow-white princess dress with a lovely and charming face ran over and rushed straight into Lu Cheng's arms.

“It’s Xiaoxue…” Lu Cheng’s lips curled up into a smile.

He picked up the girl and spun her around.

Many people around who witnessed this scene all showed expressions of emotion. Everyone knew that Lu Cheng had a good relationship with the previous Spirit Hall Master, and that this man had become a Limit Douluo more than ten years ago and stood at the top of the continent. Now he was probably even more powerful, and even that old monster of the Spirit Hall was probably no match for him.

He also looked at Qian Renxue with envy. At such a young age, her mother was the widow of the previous Spirit Hall Master, and her godfather and grandfather were both dual-limit powerhouses. She was truly showered with love and affection.

Only Qian Renxue blinked her big eyes, her joy barely concealed, and pinched Lu Cheng's cheek.

Chapter 257 The Asura God's Conspiracy

"Godfather, Xiaoxue misses you so much..."

The girl wrapped her arms around Lu Cheng's neck, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and began to whisper, then secretly complained, "My mother punished me by putting me in time-out, saying I didn't learn court etiquette well enough..."

"..." Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

She glanced at Bibi Dong, the newly crowned empress, who was dressed in a gown and exuded nobility and elegance. When she saw Qian Renxue whispering in Lu Cheng's ear, her expression turned slightly unpleasant. She wanted to scold her, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of everyone.

She is now at the title level, but the stronger her cultivation, the more she can feel the terror of this man. She can't see through him at all. Even that old man Qian Daoliu is far less powerful than this guy.

Lu Cheng smiled and ruffled Qian Renxue's hair, "Your mother is doing this for your own good..."

Qian Renxue frowned and said with a bitter face, "But Xiaoxue doesn't like it."

Lu Cheng remained silent for a long time. In the past, he didn't interfere much with Bibi Dong's choices, after all, she was the child's biological mother. However, learning court etiquette and sending Qian Renxue to the Tian Dou royal family were his taboos, and he wouldn't allow any objections.

"Then I'll tell your mother about it later."

"Yay!" Qian Renxue gave Lu Cheng a big kiss on the cheek and danced with joy.

"Xiaoxue! You must be polite in front of guests." Bibi Dong couldn't help but frown slightly as she spoke.

"The child is still young... how can we talk about manners?" Lu Cheng smiled and looked around at the many guests: "What do you all think?"

"Lord Lu is absolutely right. Children of this age are just beginning to express their true nature. Master, please do not worry."

"Yes, we think it's cute too."

The surrounding sect leaders and royal nobles all smiled obsequiously.

A smile appeared in Lu Cheng's eyes.

[In the same year, Qian Renxue awakened the pure Angelic Martial Soul bloodline and possessed innate full soul power at level twenty. You stood aside with a look of satisfaction on your face, but out of the corner of your eye, you noticed with surprise that Bibi Dong was gritting her teeth. It seemed that the Angelic Martial Soul had reminded her of some unpleasant memories.]

You felt somewhat helpless. The grudges of your parents' generation had dragged the child into it. Qian Renxue was truly innocent, so you could only use your own abilities to help that unfortunate Qian Xunji make amends to Qian Renxue. Meanwhile, the girl's smile grew even brighter, and she would rush towards you every time she saw you from afar.

You thought that although Bibi Dong didn't particularly like her daughter because of Qian Xunji, she was still her mother, and blood was thicker than water; time would eventually change her. But then one day, you noticed the bruises on Qian Renxue's arm and, after questioning her carefully, learned that Bibi Dong's attitude towards Qian Renxue was exceptionally bad; she would beat and verbally abuse her, and even frequently lock her in a dark room.

[You were extremely angry. In front of countless Spirit Hall experts and several law enforcement elders, you pointed your finger at Bibi Dong and launched into a tirade, also including Chrysanthemum, Old Ghost, and others in your attack. Many Spirit Hall experts were speechless, intimidated by your imposing aura, and could only listen obediently. Bibi Dong, on the other hand, was so angry that her face turned ashen.]

[Finally, you left with a single sentence, simply taking Qian Renxue back to your residence to be cared for by Gu Yue Na'er, thus depriving Bibi Dong of the right to look after her. Bibi Dong was furious, but could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger.]

Another year has passed. Under Gu Yue Na'er's care, Qian Renxue has grown happily. You have gifted her another immortal herb, and in just one year, she has soared from level twenty-one to level thirty-two. No one could have imagined that this period would be the happiest time of her life for the next ten years.

[That same year, you suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation emanating from the City of Slaughter. You, along with Gu Yue and Na'er, went to investigate. You encountered the King of Slaughter, Tang Chen, who had lost his mind. But the instant you entered the City of Slaughter, Gu Yue suddenly attacked from behind, her Silver Dragon Spear piercing deep into your chest, piercing your heart.]

[You look behind you in astonishment, only to find Gu Yue's face contorted in pain, seemingly out of control. Her eyes gradually turn bloodshot, and strange dark red energy erupts from her body. This is... the aura of the Asura God! You finally realize, and the Asura God's avatar finally appears, looking at you with a mocking expression. It reveals some mysteries that have been troubling you: it turns out that the Dragon God's madness was partly due to Asura's methods. Taking advantage of the Dragon God's weakest moment in rebuilding the Divine Court, Asura's divine power eroded his mind, forcing him to go insane. Otherwise, how could the mighty Dragon God be driven mad for no reason by some so-called universal law?]

As for what happened later, the battles between the soul beasts and humans in this star field, the matter of the soul rings, were all his doing. Furthermore, the fact that the soul beasts couldn't become gods was also due to his influence and manipulation of the Dragon God's orders.

[You finally understand. No wonder there's a riot among the soul beasts in this world, killing each other. It turns out this is also an incident they instigated. With a complicated expression, you ask the Asura God for the reason. He says that the reason he can now become one of the five supreme god-kings in the god realm is because he dislikes the Beast God and the beast race ruling the god realm.]

[You are helpless. Although you have received the answer, your life is hanging by a thread. The Asura God clearly has no intention of interfering in mortal affairs, but Gu Yue behind you has already lost control. Even though she forcibly suppressed her killing intent, she could not avoid being bewitched by the Asura God. Just when you thought you were about to die, you suddenly saw Na'er rushing towards you. She chose to merge with Gu Yue, using her remaining humanity to suppress the violent beast within Gu Yue.]

[At this point, the Silver Dragon King had returned to his complete form, his eyes regaining their coldness. The Asura God, enraged, wanted to kill him, but was stopped by the fully-formed Gu Yuena. The divine realm was forbidden from interfering in the mortal realm; minor skirmishes were one thing, but if the commotion escalated, Destruction and the others wouldn't spare Asura. Therefore, the Asura God left, cursing under his breath.]

Only Gu Yuena remained, holding you, her face streaked with tears.

[But you felt somewhat embarrassed, because you discovered that you seemed to be immortal. The Golden Dragon King Martial Soul's immense life force allowed you to slowly repair yourself even if your heart were crushed.]

[However, this would take quite a while, so Gu Yuena simply took you back to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, beneath the Lake of Life, to let you cultivate, and you slowly fell into a deep sleep.]

Chapter 258 Ten Years Later

You even doubted whether you were the Golden Dragon King, because you couldn't understand why the entire Douluo Continent had been in chaos since your birth, as if you were a calamity brought to the world. You consulted countless records, and all the chaos and famine pointed directly at you.

[In a state of hazy consciousness, you slowly awoke, not knowing how much time had passed. You thought the world had changed drastically, that ten thousand years had gone by, but you actually discovered that the Spirit Hall's organization still existed in the nearby village, and you breathed a sigh of relief.]

[Your cultivation has recovered to the peak of the Limit Douluo realm, but since your "fake death" last time, for some reason, it seems you have gained another heart and another identity. Deep within your sea of ​​consciousness, there is a hazy gray sphere. You know it's not Electrolux, but it feels like a memory from your past...]

"Pah!"

Lu Cheng swam out from the bottom of the lake, exhaling a mouthful of lake water containing rich life energy, his body naked.

His long, light golden hair cascaded over his shoulders, unable to conceal his handsome features and graceful figure.

His original hair color was jet black, but after he died once and his heart was revived, it turned into a light gold color.

There was no one around.

Only a tall, graceful woman with silver hair and eyes, and an exquisitely beautiful face, around twenty years old, quietly observed him. A hint of greed and restraint flashed in her eyes. Gu Yuena parted her red lips slightly and asked, "Has your injury healed?"

“Not bad.” Lu Cheng twisted his neck.

Wearing the clothes that Gu Yuena had prepared in advance, about ten years passed...

I wonder how Qian Renxue is doing. Her sudden disappearance on the mainland must have attracted a lot of attention. However, her family has prepared a backup plan, so she won't fall into ruin. And since he taught Bibi Dong a lesson, that woman shouldn't send Qian Renxue to be an undercover agent.

Upon realizing this, Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

But it's hard to say... after all, that woman is crazy.

They've gone mad.

Being an undercover agent is not about self-improvement; it's just that woman is incredibly stupid and keeps coming up with all sorts of ways to torture people. Does the Spirit Hall need another emperor?

Doesn't she know who truly controls the power of the entire continent?

In the hands of the seven major sects.

Even if Qian Renxue wastes more than ten years of her youth to obtain the throne, what difference will it make?

Could it be that Qian Renxue, having become the Heavenly Emperor, could command the various families to commit suicide?

It's a completely thankless and foolish method.

Lu Cheng silently complained to himself.

He turned to look at Gu Yuena: "Why are you looking at me? Is there something on your face?"

"Teacher is so handsome, even more handsome now..." Gu Yuena smiled radiantly, her hands behind her back.

If Di Tian and the others were to see Gu Yuena now, they would probably be stunned. After all, in everyone's eyes, their master is an incarnation of the Dragon God, and is usually extremely cold-hearted. How could she possibly be so friendly to people?

Lu Cheng, however, was used to it and casually ruffled Gu Yuena's hair: "Alright, we've been here for so long, it's time to go back. Qian Renxue is still waiting for me."

“Hmm…then I’ll go with you,” Gu Yuena said with a smile.

"Whatever you want," Lu Cheng said casually.

The bond between him and Gu Yuena had long transcended the ordinary teacher-student relationship; it was a true friendship that had even faced life-or-death situations together.

Moreover, for some reason, ever since he "died" once, he felt that his feelings for Gu Yuena had become increasingly intimate and intense, and he even had a faint urge to devour her.

……

Tian Dou City.

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy

"Ouch~"

Xue Beng was kicked to the ground, his face contorted in pain and rage. He pointed at the group of newcomers, glaring at them and shouting, "You bunch of bumpkins, how dare you hit me? Well, you've gone too far!"

"Just you wait! I'll deal with you sooner or later."

Having said that, he led his group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals away into the distance without looking back.

"These are the students of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?" Flander, wearing glasses, chuckled, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and teased the melancholy middle-aged man beside him.

"This... is the current predicament of Tiandou Royal Academy. Ever since the glory of those two stars, countless noble disciples have flocked in, but they have the power, status, and money of those two, but they lack their talent and diligence." Qin Ming smiled bitterly: "I apologize for making you two teachers laugh."

"It's alright. Since we want to use this opportunity to our advantage, if these disciples are strong, then it won't be Shrek Academy's turn to participate." Flander patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

Meanwhile, on the other side was the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

The Eastern Palace.

The Crown Prince's Palace.

The buildings are magnificent, and every inch of land represents wealth that is unimaginable to outsiders. This is the foundation of the Tiandou Empire's royal family. And the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who has always been calm and composed and is widely regarded as the next emperor, is also a member of the royal family.

At this moment, however, he sat in a chair, his face refined and gentle.

Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was playing chess quietly on one side.

"Ten years..."

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly, "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Ten years have already passed. Haotian Douluo has disappeared, Qianxunji of the Spirit Hall has passed away, and even the Dragon King Douluo has vanished without a trace. What meaning is there left for this vast continent..."

"What's wrong, teacher?" Xue Qinghe asked with a smile. "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"

"I'm feeling a bit sentimental. Rongrong has now entered the academy, Shrek Academy, and gets along well with the group of little monsters in the same academy. But I've always had a wish, which is to find her a teacher when she's a little older."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and shook his head.

"Teacher? The Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are more than qualified to be Rongrong's teachers, right? Why is Teacher so insistent on asking that person to help?" Xue Qinghe paused, holding the white chess piece, and asked with some curiosity in his eyes.

“You were too young back then to know his methods…” Ning Fengzhi’s eyes were filled with melancholy, as if he was recalling something: “Back then, he single-handedly killed so many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that they dared not go out again. He single-handedly blocked countless beast tides and suppressed five terrifying beasts that had been around for 100,000 years. The so-called Haotian Douluo who was famous throughout the continent was far inferior to him.”

"..."

Qian Renxue fell silent, and memories of the past gradually surfaced in her mind...
