have to say.

Xiao Wu is an extremely perfect woman. Having entered her mature years, she possesses a mature and sophisticated charm, yet the cuteness in her bones has not faded away.

"Good son-in-law, you used this to revive me back then, didn't you?" Arou asked curiously.

She stood beside Dong Qing, her gaze sharp and intense, fixed on the last remaining leaf of the ancient tree of life in his hand, and swallowed hard.

These lush, green leaves look delicious just from their appearance.

“Mother-in-law, you have a terrible memory. I used Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to revive you before, a rare and precious herb in the mortal world, much better than this.”

Dong Qing's lips twitched. As he spoke, he pressed down on A Rou's head, preventing her from swallowing the leaf from the ancient tree of life in his hand.

The leaves of the Tree of Life were hard-won; he had spent a lot of effort to borrow them from the God of Life, and they couldn't be easily eaten by rabbits.

Crystal Blood Ginseng

It is the most precious of ginseng, ranking among the celestial treasures. It is naturally of grade eight and has evolved over ten thousand years. In terms of efficacy, it is comparable to the Acacia Heartbreak Red in Dong Qing's hands.

The only difference is that it has no ability to protect its master, nor can it restore the soul, but consuming it can rebuild the body.

This is a ginseng that is entirely blood-red, and it is the kind of blood-red that is crystal clear. It is shaped like a human body, and you can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary.

The crystal blood dragon ginseng, shaped like a human body, has ancient patterns on its surface that are connected to form a unique design, resembling a five-clawed dragon soaring through the heavens.

Crystal Blood Dragon, born at the eighth rank, evolved over ten thousand years.

Leaves of the ancient tree of life

Leaves from ancient trees possess extremely abundant vitality.

Seize the power of nature, rebuild bodies, and resurrect the dead.

However, the leaves of the Ancient Tree of Life are still inferior to the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, which is a celestial-grade medicinal herb. They cannot revive soul beasts that are more than 100,000 years old, or beings at the Title Douluo level.

Whether it's a 100,000-year-old soul beast or a nine-ring titled Douluo, their life essence has undergone a transformation, far beyond what a mere ordinary leaf from the Tree of Life can revive.

Indeed, the Ancient Tree of Life, as one of the five super artifacts of the Douluo God Realm and also the true form of the God King of Life, is far superior to the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng in essence.

However, the Tree of Life has hundreds of millions of leaves. Even a super artifact, or even the true form of the God of Life, could not possibly have a single leaf stronger than an entire Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

.........

“Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng…I really don’t remember. Good son-in-law, please let me taste the flavor of this leaf.” Arou looked at Dongqing expectantly.

"No, that woman is so stingy. I had to beg her to lend me five pieces. I can't waste them." Dongqing refused Arou's request without hesitation.

[Timeline of Recollections]

This morning, just as the sun was rising.

Beneath a giant tree with a diameter of about seven meters, there is a tree hole with a diameter of four meters. The tree hole is very spacious and empty, and it is covered with an extremely luxurious plush blanket. There is no problem even if three people lie down in it.

As the first ray of sunlight shone through a small hole in the tree hollow, its golden light illuminated the three people sleeping inside.

Xiao Wu hugged a human-shaped pillow called "Dong Qing," while A Rou was pushed aside and slept in the innermost part of the tree hole, looking very peaceful.

Because of Arou's presence as a third wheel, Xiaowu naturally didn't change her job last night; she simply slept quietly, hugging her humanoid body pillow, [Dongqing].

Logically speaking...

The young couple were together at night, and Arou shouldn't have disturbed them, but she didn't have anywhere else to go, so she had no choice but to shamelessly squeeze into the innermost part of the tree hole.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Dongqing, who had been asleep, inexplicably felt hot breaths coming from the tip of his nose and a moist feeling at the corner of his mouth.

He opened his eyes with some confusion, only to see Arou fleeing from the tree hole in a panic, completely ignoring the fact that such an escape was no different from burying one's head in the sand.

From that moment on, Dongqing realized that Xiaowu's strictness towards Arou wasn't without reason; this woman did indeed have improper thoughts about him.

However, now is not the time to think about these issues. Dongqing gently pried open the long legs wrapped around his waist, freeing himself from the fate of being used as a human-shaped pillow by Xiaowu all night.

"Brother Qing..."

Xiao Wu was still asleep. After losing Dong Qing, her human-shaped body pillow, she felt an emptiness in her arms.

Her hands rummaged around, searching for Dongqing's whereabouts, her slender and graceful body unconsciously swaying.

Upon seeing this.

Dongqing had no choice but to reach out and pull her into his arms to stop her from searching for him.

At this time.

After finding Dongqing, the human-shaped body pillow, Xiaowu finally showed a sweet smile.

"Since I've come to the Star Dou Great Forest by chance, I might as well take care of that matter while I'm at it, and also go and see that so-called military competition," Dong Qing thought to himself.

next second.

As an evil god-king, his spiritual power, transformed into divine thoughts, pierced the barrier between the Douluo Continent and the Douluo God Realm, successfully connecting with the God-King of Life.

"Life, life, are you there?" Dongqing asked.

"Evil you... never mind, I'll just call you by your real name, Dongqing, what are you up to now?" The God of Life's tone was somewhat languid.

"Nothing much, just give me some face, could you lend me some more leaves from the Ancient Tree of Life?" Dong Qing said, a little embarrassed.

"Dongqing, don't go too far. Last time you insisted on resurrecting a dead mortal, and I agreed out of respect for you. Now who do you want to resurrect?"

The Goddess of Life was speechless. If they weren't already familiar with each other, she would have really wanted to curse Dong Qing for being crazy, resurrecting someone every now and then.

“Several dead soul beasts,” Dong Qing explained.

"Dongqing, you must understand that arbitrarily resurrecting the dead is not in accordance with the natural order of heaven and earth. In the long run, many mortal beings will lose their concept of life and death, because they will all think that you can resurrect them. The world you live in will also be thrown into chaos because of your irresponsible behavior," the God of Life warned.

She wasn't joking; it was a genuine warning. Reviving the dead at will was against the laws of nature.

Once or twice might not cause any problems, but if such incidents accumulate, they will lead to a cataclysmic disaster.

"Life, what are you thinking? How could I possibly resurrect others at will? I just want to sever some past karmic ties and resurrect some soul beasts that I had to kill to advance my soul power. Besides, isn't this law of heaven and earth that requires absorbing soul rings to advance the level exactly what you god-kings created?" Dong Qing retorted.

"It has nothing to do with me. This was all proposed by Ji Dong, the second-generation evil god king who you now inherit the position of evil god king. At the time, I strongly opposed this proposal, but unfortunately, the God Realm Committee uses a voting system, and my opposition alone was useless. This resolution was ultimately passed." The God King of Life said helplessly.

She didn't lie to Dong Qing; the truth was just that helpless. At the time, she did oppose the proposal, but ultimately she was no match for the forces of the second-generation evil god king Ji Dong's lineage.

He wielded considerable power. Although he was merely one person with only one vote, his wife was the God of Kindness, and he had also won over the God of Darkness and the God of Destruction.

Ji Dong, the second-generation evil god-king who ostensibly holds four votes, can basically decide most matters of the God Realm Committee with a single word.

Power is poisonous, power is addictive, and power is a very tempting thing. The God-King, in particular, controls a great deal of power.

Two of these powers are the most coveted.

The First God-King has the authority to modify the laws of heaven and earth.

For example.

The God King can arbitrarily modify the lifespan of Title Douluo in Douluo Continent, changing the original rule that Title Douluo at level 90 are rewarded with a lifespan of 300 years, and that each breakthrough in soul power grants an additional 100 years of lifespan.

It has been revised to state that even a peak level 99 Peerless Douluo, a demigod-level being, cannot live for more than two hundred years.

Since it is possible to modify the laws of heaven and earth related to lifespan, then modifying the fact that a Soul Master must absorb a Soul Ring when breaking through their own Soul Power level is naturally a very simple matter.

The Second God-King's authority allowed him to establish the laws of heaven and earth.

For example.

The God King can alter the fate of all the soul beasts in Douluo Continent, giving them extra soul rings and soul bones out of thin air, which are completely unnecessary burdens for them.

but.......

In order for the laws of heaven and earth to function properly, modifying and formulating the laws of heaven and earth can only take effect on the lower realms and have no effect on the Douluo God Realm itself.

Once one becomes a god, as long as one is not killed, one's lifespan is endless and one is immortal. Even a god-king cannot reduce the lifespan of a third-level god by even a fraction.

Simultaneously.

To prevent the God-King from arbitrarily altering the laws of heaven and earth, causing excessive changes in these laws and resulting in the mass extinction and death of beings in the lower realms.

Therefore, whether it's modifying the laws of heaven and earth or creating entirely new laws of heaven and earth.

All of these must be voted on by the Divine Realm Committee, and only after more than two-thirds of the God-Kings have voted can the laws of heaven and earth be successfully modified and established.

"Life, don't change the subject. I'm not interested in those things. Lend me some more leaves from the ancient tree of life."

"I'll lend you, I'll lend you. I didn't say I wouldn't lend you. Lending is no problem. But the problem is, Dongqing, have you thought about how you're going to pay me back?"

"You think I'd lend you the scales of judgment? To be honest, you've really struck gold. I only borrowed leaves from the ancient tree of life, while you borrowed the scales of judgment themselves."

"unnecessary."

"For you?"

"No need."

"Then what do you want?"

"you!"

"I?"

"It's you."

What do you want from me?

"I want all of you."

"Ok?"

"What 'hmm'? Do you think you're worthless?"

"why me?"
