Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

"I don't care, I'm going to make you suffer from back pain."

"You're just a little kid, aren't you? You'll never grow up? Why are you so possessive? Thirty years have passed, why do you still have the same strong possessiveness as you did at the beginning?"

After punching Dong Qing a few times in annoyance, Ning Rongrong gave in to his whims. She didn't dislike Dong Qing's possessiveness, because it meant that she still held a very important place in his heart.

......

The next day, in Star Luo City, Heaven Dou Empire [formerly the capital of the Star Luo Empire, it is now a large city under the Heaven Dou Empire after the unification of the Douluo Continent.]

"Zhu Qing, do you still remember Dai Mubai? I believe you definitely do. Ever since the Star Luo Empire's royal family was forced to give up their royal power and actively integrate into the Heaven Dou Empire, Emperor Qinghe has put a lot of effort into appeasing the Star Luo Empire's royal family. Now, Dai Mubai is the White Tiger Duke of the Heaven Dou Empire. In the real world, without you, my sister, to hold him back, he now has a large number of wives and concubines and lives a very carefree life."

"Don't call me Zhu Qing, Zhu Zhu Yun. Even though thirty years have passed, I will never forget what you did to me. And don't mention this man. Whether he is doing well or not has nothing to do with me."

"Zhu Qing, you hold a grudge too long. You can't let it go even after thirty years."

"It's not that I can't let go. Today, you're on the bottom, and I'm on top."

"No, I'm the older sister."

"Then I'll remember you for the rest of my life."

Dong Qing didn't participate in the conversation between the sisters Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun. He was thinking about a philosophical question about life, trying to find the meaning of life from it.

This problem is not complicated.

The question is tonight: should I switch jobs with my younger sister first, or with my older sister first, or switch to both at once to avoid favoritism?

This is a really tough question...

......

Day three.

"The three beauties of the Spirit Hall? Are you talking about me?" Hu Liena asked happily.

"Yes, yes, yes." Dong Qing nodded vigorously.

Fourth day.

"The three idiots of the Spirit Hall? Are Earthlings tired of living? Since the Taotie civilization in this universe has chosen to invade Earth, it seems that it's time for the Heaven Dou Empire to expand its territory." Qian Renxue's face darkened.

"Xue'er, don't be impulsive. These are all Xiao Heizi's words. In my eyes, you are the rightful Emperor Qinghe. Your wisdom is beyond the imagination of those Earthlings," Dong Qing quickly advised.

Day .

"Yu Xiaogang is worse than an animal. When Bibi Dong in the anime died, he actually laughed happily. If time could be turned back, I really want to slap my younger self."

Bibi Dong felt that she was a fool for having developed feelings for such a heartless and ungrateful man when she was young.

"Teacher, don't be angry. Thirty years have passed, and Yu Xiaogang is now in his seventies or eighties. His soul power can no longer break through level 30, so he has reached his limit and is about to die of old age," Dong Qing comforted him.

Day .

“Because of the sacrifice, I died, and Tang Chen also died because of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King. Dong Qing, since you knew the plot all along, why didn’t you tell me sooner? Did you treat me as your woman from the beginning? So you didn’t want other men to touch me?” Poseidon’s tone was slightly displeased.

But being unhappy is not the same as being angry, nor is it a complaint against Dongqing.

She was somewhat unhappy, but not because of Tang Chen's death. Time can change a person and also make them forget. She was simply unhappy that Dong Qing had kept so many things from her.

There are indeed unwavering feelings in the world, but not like those between Poseidon and Tang Chen. They spent too little time together, so little that time was enough for their feelings to gradually fade away.

Compared to Tang Chen, whom she fell in love with at first sight, Dong Qing, with whom she had spent thirty years, was undoubtedly more important to her. If she had to make a choice, she would only choose Dong Qing.

There is no such thing as love at first sight that lasts until death.

If one has to describe this kind of feeling, it can only be described as a distorted mind.

It is clear.

Poseidon is a normal woman, a woman with normal thinking, and a woman with normal thinking wouldn't hate her current man just because of someone she's known for thirty years.

Moreover.

Dong Qing didn't say anything, but he didn't do anything wrong either. This only shows that he is indeed very charming, and that he is indeed very possessive and doesn't want other men to touch him.

I don't know why.

When Poseidon's thoughts turned to this point, a quiet joy welled up inside her. She had initially thought she lacked charm and that Dongqing didn't like women her age.

"Poseidon, do you think it's appropriate for us to say this at this time?"

Dong Qing covered his face. He had overestimated this woman's moral standards. It wasn't that he couldn't ask this question, but at least he shouldn't ask it when changing jobs.

"Why not? It's been thirty years, and you've already taken advantage of me completely... Be gentle, I have things to do tomorrow, and people will laugh at me if my back aches."

Poseidon was already feeling a little backache. She had to preside over the selection ceremony for the Seven Pillars of Poseidon Island tomorrow, so she couldn't afford to be too indulgent today.

"Is it my fault? My backache isn't solely my responsibility; you also bear some responsibility." Dongqing shifted the blame back to him.

"Let's not talk about that now. Just tell me, were you after all this time?" Poseidon lowered her head and looked intently into Dongqing's eyes.

“What if I say yes?” Dongqing asked.

“Then he didn’t die unjustly. I had no choice but to accept my fate after meeting a despicable and shameless man like you,” Poseidon said calmly.

"What if I say no?" Dongqing asked again.

“No? It has to be, it can’t be not,” Poseidon said firmly.

“Heh, women…” Dong Qing’s lips twitched, and he didn’t say anything more.

She was the one who promised to exchange sixty years for the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, but she couldn't resist and ended up having an affair with a much younger man. Now she's trying to shirk responsibility.

However, he was too lazy to argue with Poseidon about this topic. Winning the argument would be meaningless, and losing would mean having to coax her himself. He really didn't understand why these women liked to act young so much.

A dozen minutes later.

"Poseidon, you became the sea god more than ten years ago, why do you insist on staying in the mortal world like my teacher?"

"She can renege on her promise, but I can't?"

"Yes, yes, of course it can. I didn't say it couldn't. The current Poseidon Island truly lives up to its name, with a Poseidon sitting there, silently protecting the peace of this sea."

"Dongqing, do you think the taste of the Sea God is better, or the taste of the Rakshasa God?"

"My teacher possesses twin martial souls and is a dual-god-level God King."

"I understand, you mean she's better?"

Unable to get a satisfactory answer, Poseidon could only continue to retaliate against Dongqing by changing his job, hoping to make him walk out of bed with his legs bent over tomorrow.

But these are all unrealistic fantasies. Whether Dongqing will lean against the wall or not is unknown, but she will definitely have a sore back tomorrow.

.........

A few more days passed. Nearly half a month after Dongqing left Earth in the Super God Universe, he finally returned after learning that Earth civilization and the Demon Eye civilization had completely finalized their interstellar defense weapon deal.

no way.

Dong Baobao, Dong Dong'er, and Dong Yan didn't want Dong Qing to get involved in this matter. He also wanted to make things difficult for his daughter, so he could only return to the micro-universe [Pure Blood Heavenly Horned Ant's Chest Supreme Treasure Bone] and hide for more than ten days.

These past ten days haven't been entirely fruitless; at least I've managed to appease my backyard.

But for Dongqing...

He felt it was urgent to regulate the time flow of the miniature universe [Pureblood Heavenly Horned Ant's Supreme Treasure Bone in the Chest], otherwise he really couldn't guarantee that he would give every flower in the back garden enough time to spend with it.

and so.

For the majority of the time going forward, Dongqing will likely remain on Earth in the Super God Universe to study the nature of the universe.

Only in this way.

Only then will he be able to learn to control the flow of time.

Chapter 778, It's a pleasure to cooperate!

[Standard timeline: Douluo Calendar, September 3, 2686, Saturday.]

The Great Universe, the Milky Way, Earth.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!" Old Huang said with a smile.

“It’s a pleasure working with you,” Kratos replied.

"When will your civilization be able to send this batch of interstellar defense weapons? It's not that we're rushing you, but the invasion of the Taotie civilization is imminent. At most six months from now, the Taotie civilization's spaceships will enter the solar system."

Old Huang sounded a little anxious, not because he couldn't control his emotions, but because he was deliberately putting on an act, so as to achieve the effect of not urging on the surface but urging on the surface.

"My friend, don't rush. We need a month and a half of Earth time to prepare. Within three months, this batch of interstellar defense weapons will arrive in the solar system one by one, and we will send the combat spaceships here first."

Kratos's large purple eye on its head flickered. It understood Huang Lao's idea but did not expose it, and indicated that it would be among the first to send the spaceship over.

As for why there are space warships specifically designed for space warfare in interstellar defense weapons, it's because sometimes, proactive attack is the best defensive weapon.

Moreover, it is not afraid of Earthlings turning against it. Earthlings only have the right to use these interstellar defense weapons, not ownership. Control has always been in the hands of the Demon Eye Civilization.

Don't think that Earthlings are at a disadvantage.

This is already the best possible outcome.

Without Dong Qing's introduction, and without Dong Baobao's guidance.

If Earth's civilization were to encounter an interstellar civilization like the Magic Eye Civilization, trade would be impossible. Super gene synthesis resources would certainly be seized directly, because the weak have no right to negotiate or trade with the strong.

Perhaps having only the right to use something without ownership makes Earth's civilization seem to be at a disadvantage, just as Ducao said, exchanging gold mines for rice and flour is really not worthwhile. But as the saying goes, if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and if you fall behind, you will suffer losses.

This is a loss that Earth's civilization should and must accept.

Otherwise, Earth's civilization would have no way to deal with the Taotie civilization.

Survival comes first, then we can talk about the future. The most important thing for a civilization is survival. In a certain Trisolaran universe, countless civilizations would rather suffer this loss than actually do so.

The only food these civilizations, which haven't ventured beyond the planet's surface, can probably eat is the two-dimensional foils dropped by advanced civilizations, and light particles capable of destroying stars.

"There's enough time, thank you for your help." Old Huang breathed a sigh of relief.

that's it.

After Huang Lao, the representative of Earth civilization, saw off Kratos, the representative of the Demon Eye civilization, with a kind expression, the sense of powerlessness he felt over Earth's invasion by the Taotie civilization finally dissipated considerably.

At least for now, Earth civilization possesses interstellar defense weapons of equal technology, preventing it from being pinned down on Earth by the Taotie civilization and giving it the right to keep the other side out of Earth.

The reason is not complicated. If we fight on Earth, regardless of who wins or loses, Earth civilization will be the loser. Only by moving the battlefield to space can we have a war of equals.

Since there are equal wars, there are also unequal wars.
