Chapter 692: End and Beginning, Aiming for the Greater World
After the conclusion of a world-shaking battle, what remained was a ravaged Central State...
Though Central State lost some of its former glory, fortunately, the calamity ended there. With people from other regions flocking in, it wouldn't be long before Central State once again became the center of the Dou Qi Continent.
With the fall of the Soul Heavenly Emperor, the decisive battle ended in victory for the coalition forces. As for the Soul Clan, they offered little resistance and were captured by the coalition forces.
The Soul Realm was also destroyed by the coalition.
Among the eight ancient clans, only the Gu Clan, Yan Clan, and Lei Clan remain. And of course, there's the Xiao Clan, whose Dou Di (Battle Emperor) bloodline was reawakened due to Xiao Yan's ascension to Dou Di.
The closer one's bloodline is to Xiao Yan's, the more they benefited. For example, Xiao Yu used this boost to break through to Dou Saint, becoming as powerful as Lei Fei'er, Cai Lin, Little Doctor Immortal, and Qing Lin.
In short, now Mo Yu's harem is incredibly powerful and large, even boasting several Dou Saint-level figures.
With the end of the great war, the coalition forces disbanded. It was evident that, barring special circumstances, such a terrifying war would be unlikely to break out again on the Dou Qi Continent. Now, the continent had two supreme beings keeping everything in check.
Lei Emperor, Mo Yu!
Yan Emperor, Xiao Yan!
These two names echoed across every corner of the Dou Qi Continent, revered by countless people. In the hearts of many, these two were like gods, together protecting the Dou Qi Continent!
It was also well known that Lei Emperor and Yan Emperor were like brothers, extremely close. As long as no conflict erupted between them, the Dou Qi Continent would remain peaceful.
As time passed, two years after that shocking battle, Central State gradually regained its former prosperity. Many sects and powers emerged like bamboo shoots after rain, making the region flourish once again.
Of course, Yuan Mansion and the Heaven Mansion Alliance no longer interfered with these developments, maintaining their lofty status while quietly watching Central State's evolution.
And naturally, no other power dared to challenge these two dominant forces.
From then on, the old power structure of "One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, Four Pavilions" ceased to exist. Only the two mansions, East and West, stood tall. Yuan Mansion and Heaven Mansion became the strongest forces on the Dou Qi Continent!
During these two years, Mo Yu fully refined the Blood Demon Heart-Eroding Lightning. According to his calculations, the Blood Lightning was now no weaker than a Dou Di-level expert, making it deservedly ranked first on the Xuan Thunder List.
In these two years, Mo Yu also held a grand wedding with Lei Fei'er, Xiao Yu, Cai Lin, Little Doctor Immortal, Qing Lin, and Ya Fei. The ceremony was witnessed by the heavens and countless people... fulfilling the promise Mo Yu had once made to the women.
Only Yun Yun declined, due to her tranquil and gentle nature, feeling uncomfortable with such a grand group wedding. This remained one of Mo Yu's regrets.
Shortly after the wedding, Mo Yu passed the important responsibilities of Yuan Mansion to Snake Uncle and Xiao Li, saying that Yuan Mansion no longer needed him at the helm.
Snake Uncle, though helpless at Mo Yu's actions, knew that this kid just wanted to slack off again. Yet, understanding Mo Yu's nature, he accepted the responsibility.
With that burden lifted, Mo Yu leisurely wandered off, taking Lei Fei'er, Xiao Yu, and the others to roam freely across the world.
Time flew by. Seasons passed, and before they knew it, another year had quietly gone by.
At the former site of Flower Sect…
Thanks to Mo Yu, Flower Sect had fully integrated into Yuan Mansion. However, some elders of Flower Sect still preferred to stay in this quiet place.
In the rear mountains of Flower Sect, a graceful figure stood quietly. The moon-white robe outlined her alluring curves, making her appear especially enticing.
"Teacher…" a softly spoken voice came from behind the woman.
"Yanran, what is it?" The woman in the moon-white robe turned her head slightly, revealing a beautiful and elegant face. It was Yun Yun.
Looking at that beautiful, graceful face, Nalan Yanran sighed quietly in her heart.
Over the years, many renowned experts and leaders from across Central State had expressed their affection for Yun Yun, but none had made any progress.
Yanran knew well that the shadow of someone in Yun Yun's heart was hard to erase, even though that person now had two or three wives…
"Master Mo sent a message," Nalan Yanran said softly.
The moment she finished, Yun Yun, who had always been calm and composed, abruptly turned around. Her reaction caused Nalan Yanran to smile bitterly.
"What did he say?" Yun Yun's voice trembled slightly.
"He asked… if you would like to return to the Jia Ma Empire…" Nalan Yanran smiled faintly, though her smile was tinged with sadness.
Yun Yun stood there in a daze, her teeth biting her red lips. Her beautiful eyes suddenly became moist. That place… was where she held the deepest memories.
Not Yunlan Mountain, but the Magic Beast Mountain Range…
Jia Ma Empire, Wutan City.
To the people of the Jia Ma Empire, Wutan City had become a sacred place.
That's because it was the headquarters of the Xiao Clan. Over the years, countless strong individuals had emerged from the Xiao Clan, and few could rival them even across the Dou Qi Continent.
In the center of Wutan City stood two large estates: the Xiao Estate in the west and the Mo Estate in the east.
The elders of Wutan City knew that Lei Emperor and Yan Emperor grew up together and were cousins by blood.
When Lei Emperor was young, he lived with the Xiao Clan. Now, although he had established his own family, he remained close to the Xiao Clan, building his Mo Estate near Xiao Estate in Wutan City.
Some insiders even claimed that Lei Emperor and Yan Emperor had grown tired of the constant fighting and now lived quietly in Wutan City. This small city, with two Dou Di experts residing in it, was now under the protection of two supreme beings!
In the eastern Mo Estate, faint sounds of children laughing could be heard.
Peeking over the high walls, one could see several children playing and laughing in the courtyard.
A young man with silver eyes reclined on a stone bench, arms resting behind his head, a smile on his lips, his eyes half-closed, enjoying the warmth of the sun.
Next to him, a girl in silver robes delicately peeled a fruit and gently placed it in his mouth.
Just as she was about to stand, a hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his arms. With a playful yelp, she found herself kissed on the cheek, her face flushing red.
"Husband, Qi'er and the others are still here…" The silver-robed woman, Lei Fei'er, blushed in Mo Yu's embrace.
"They can watch if they want; we're an old married couple now…" Mo Yu chuckled.
"Dad, you're bullying Mom again! I'm telling Xiao Yu Mom!" A little boy who looked quite like Mo Yu stood nearby, hands on his hips, shouting loudly.
"You little rascal, how dare you threaten your dad? Go play elsewhere." Mo Yu waved his hand, sending out a gust of wind.
The boy's Dou Qi flared up, forming a powerful beam of energy. But despite his efforts, the gust blew him off his feet, and he landed softly on the ground.
"Brother Qi, Dad likes playing with Fei'er Mom. Let's not disturb them. Let's go play together." A little girl with nine-colored hair, as delicate as a porcelain doll, ran over and waved to Mo Yu and Lei Fei'er before pulling the boy towards the courtyard.
"Alright, but, Mo'er, let's go to the Xiao Estate and find Xiao Xiao and Xiao Lin, okay?" Mo Qi suggested, jumping up excitedly.
"Mmm…" Mo Mo thought for a moment, her finger on her lips, then nodded. "Okay! Xiao Lin still owes me a candy. Let's go!"
"Going to the Xiao Estate? Let's go too!" Seeing them leave, the other children in the courtyard quickly followed, excitedly joining the group.
As the children left the estate, several hidden experts from Yuan Mansion quietly followed to protect them. While Mo Yu could monitor the entire Wutan City with his current strength, small matters weren't worthy of his attention. These secret guards were there to handle any minor troubles the children might encounter.
"Husband, you already have six children. How many more do you plan to have?" Lei Fei'er gently covered her mouth with a hand and laughed, glancing at Mo Yu.
"Uhh, maybe no more…" Mo Yu rubbed his head, smiling wryly.
Over the years, with peace reigning on the continent and a carefree life, Mo Yu had spent his days diligently tending to his wives, causing the Mo family to grow more and more prosperous.
Though Lei Fei'er and Xiao Yu each only bore him one child, Mo Yu had become the father of six children.
Thinking about it, a wry smile tugged at his lips.
Six children were quite the handful.
Pushing that thought aside, Mo Yu looked up at the sky, his smile slowly fading as he quietly spoke.
"Fei'er, do you know why all the Dou Di experts on the Dou Qi Continent disappeared in the past?"
"Why?" Fei'er asked, startled.
"Because… they left the Dou Qi Continent and ventured into a higher realm." Mo Yu's silver eyes gleamed faintly as he spoke softly.
Though he had spent these years roaming the mountains and rivers, appearing to live a carefree life, he had never slacked in his cultivation.
Thanks to his powerful Tian Gang Thunder Body, once he broke through to Dou Di, his strength improved rapidly. Mo Yu estimated that after a few more decades of cultivation on the Dou Qi Continent, he would be ready to enter the Greater World and break through to Earth Supreme!
"There's a higher world?" Fei'er murmured in surprise.
"Yes, and in about six months, we'll have the answer…" Mo Yu smiled as he embraced Fei'er.
Hearing this, Fei'er tightened her grip around Mo Yu's waist.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
At the Yuan Mansion headquarters in Central State, atop a tall stone tower…
Countless experts hovered in the sky, their eyes burning with excitement as they stared at the top of the tower.
There, a silver-eyed young man and a black-robed young man sat quietly. For the first time in ten years, they were witnessing these legendary figures.
Lei Emperor, Mo Yu!
Yan Emperor, Xiao Yan!
"Do you think what Mo Yu and Xiao Yan said is true?" Candle Kun asked, glancing at Gu Yuan beside him.
"Well… I don't know. But if they're right, it would explain why all the Dou Di experts disappeared from the Dou Qi Continent. It's not easy to kill beings of that level…" Gu Yuan hesitated.
Sigh… Candle Kun sighed, feeling conflicted. If this were true, they had truly been like frogs at the bottom of a well…
The sky remained calm for half a day, but as the sun began to set, strange waves suddenly rippled across the heavens.
Countless people held their breath, watching in shock.
The waves grew stronger with time. Then, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan's eyes snapped open.
A pillar of energy shot up from their heads, piercing the sky and disappearing into the heavens, witnessed by all of Central State.
Buzz! Buzz!
As the energy pillar surged, the sky quaked violently.
Moments later, a glowing pathway appeared in the heavens, seemingly tearing through the fabric of space. It materialized under the astonished gazes of the onlookers.
Source Qi!
The long-lost Source Qi, the key to becoming a Dou Di!
The entire world fell silent. Candle Kun and Gu Yuan gaped in astonishment, feeling their powers, which had been stagnant for so long, surge at the appearance of the pathway.
Huff…
Mo Yu and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes ablaze with excitement. Their long-cold blood seemed to boil once more.
"The Greater World, here I come…"
