The Eternal Emperor took his empress as wife, and several peerless beauties also entered his harem. Rumors spread that the empress was already pregnant, and the entire empire celebrated with joy.
After stabilizing the hearts of his people, Oscar immediately began gathering faith to condense the foundation of the Soul Core of Belief. He now hoped to reach level one hundred as soon as possible and ascend to godhood.
In the God Realm, with the Five God Kings at the lead, the gods once again convened a meeting,this time, Oscar was present.
They had witnessed all of Oscar's deeds. Every one of his accomplishments was unprecedented in history.
He unified the Douluo Continent, created the method of Soul Spirits and united the Soul Beast race, conquered the seas, crossed continents to subdue the Sun and Moon Continent, established the Spirit Transmission Tower, and even conceived of artificial spirit rings.
All of these feats left the gods in awe. Oscar had now surpassed the limits of past and present.
It was easy to imagine how powerful and terrifying he would become once he broke through to level one hundred and attained godhood.
Now, no one dared question anything Oscar did. Yet when he first began his rise, even the Sea God and others had voiced their doubts.
They had been silenced only by the Shura God and the God of Destruction.
At this point, the gods were eager for Oscar to achieve divinity.
Firstly, some of them needed successors; after serving the God Realm tirelessly for ages, it was time for them to step back and enjoy peace.
Secondly, the God Realm itself had grown unstable. In the not-so-distant future, it would face a great crisis, and they needed such a peerless leader to guide them through it.
Once Oscar became a god, with his alliance with the Soul Beasts and his marriage to the Silver Dragon King, he would be the perfect candidate to unite the divine beings of both races.
If all the gods worked together, the coming crisis could be overcome.
At this meeting, the gods used divine thought to summon the Eternal Emperor.
Now that Oscar possessed immense faith power, his divine soul had surpassed mortal cultivation. Though not yet fully transcendent, he could freely enter and leave the God Realm with the gods' guidance.
He had truly become an extraordinary existence.
Led by the gods, Oscar ascended effortlessly through the skies, passing through a grand heavenly gate, and arrived in a vast divine palace where the gods were seated.
Although not yet a true god, the divine energy and power radiating from his body were already comparable to that of a first-level god.
When the gods sensed this, they couldn't help but be astonished. Though they had expected such power, experiencing it firsthand was hard to accept.
After all, each of them had endured countless hardships and the tempering of time to reach their current level.
Oscar, though young, had already achieved so much,no one could imagine how strong he would become once he reached level one hundred.
His imperial presence filled the hall, and even these exalted gods felt an almost irresistible urge to bow in reverence.
He straightened his back, looked over the gathered deities, and cupped his hands. "Junior, Emperor of the Spirit Empire, the Eternal Emperor Oscar, greets all senior gods."
Though an emperor, Oscar was not arrogant. The gods were his elders, and he treated them with respect without losing his dignity.
The gods returned his courtesy, aware that this youth would one day surpass them all.
The Shura God King smiled. "Eternal one, you truly gave us a great surprise. I regret being a step too late back then."
Oscar smiled. "Senior Shura jests. Had I inherited your mantle, perhaps the Spirit Empire would not exist today."
In the God Realm, Oscar had no need to claim imperial airs,there were plenty here far beyond the title of emperor.
The God of Destruction spoke. "Everyone supports what you are doing. The God Realm will soon face a great crisis, so we hope you can ascend quickly and take command."
Oscar immediately realized this summons meant trouble.
Just as he had begun to enjoy some peace, they were already trying to make him work again.
He chuckled. "No need to rush, Senior Destruction. I still have a hundred years left in the mortal world, do I not? I wish to spend some time with family and friends."
"Besides, to the God Realm, a hundred years below is but a hundred days here. When the time comes, I will not refuse my duty to serve the realm."
The gods knew this well. The God of Destruction had merely reminded him not to get too comfortable among mortals.
Still, given Oscar's power and creativity, the gods couldn't help but wonder,what would the mortal world become after a century of his influence?
Then the Shura God King turned serious. "We invited you mainly to discuss the matter of the Golden Dragon King. The plan you once proposed,we've discussed it and agreed it is indeed the best solution."
"If your wife, the Silver Dragon King, can successfully refine the Golden Dragon King's core, it will remove a ticking time bomb from the God Realm and grant it another God King-level being."
"With you and her in charge, history will not repeat the tragedy of the Dragon God."
The God of Destruction added, "However, the Golden Dragon King inherited the Dragon God's pride and fury. Whether your wife can refine that power safely remains uncertain."
Oscar smiled. "So, what kind of help are you planning to offer?"
The gods paused, realizing he had already guessed their intent.
Since they had invited him, they were naturally prepared to help the Silver Dragon King absorb and refine the Golden Dragon King's core.
The Shura God King explained, "We have combined our divine power to divide and compress the Golden Dragon King's core. The purest portion you may now take to the mortal realm and give to your wife. Once she reaches level ninety, she may begin refining it."
"This energy will not harm her. On the contrary, it will help her familiarize herself with the Golden Dragon King's power and condense the Dragon God seed within her."
"When she reaches level one hundred and ascends to the God Realm, she can then refine the remaining core that contains the violent and rebellious essence. This way, the issue will be perfectly resolved."
Oscar was overjoyed. With this plan, Gu Yue could safely absorb and refine the Golden Dragon King's power while minimizing danger.
In the future, she could become the new Dragon God without being corrupted by the old core.
Although her Dragon God position might not be complete at first, it would still be genuine,and the remaining rebellious power of the Golden Dragon King would never rise again.
This was indeed the perfect solution.
With the matter settled, Oscar gladly promised to help the retiring gods find outstanding successors.
With his resources and training, those successors would surely become the best of their generation,a proposal that greatly pleased the gods.
From the corner, the Rakshasa God stepped forward. "Eternal one, your empress has taken control of the Slaughter City, which is under my domain, and my successor has already been overshadowed. Isn't that unfair to me?"
The gods chuckled. The Rakshasa God wasn't evil by nature; her successor, Bibi Dong, had only lost her sanity later on, leading to misfortune for both.
Oscar smiled. "Don't worry, I'll see to it when I return."
Satisfied, the Rakshasa God felt relieved. She had long wanted to retire and only wished for a talented successor.
The Sea God then spoke. "My high priest still doesn't know of your connection to my successor. In time, Sea God Island will likely become part of your Spirit Empire. I have but one request: conquer the seas I could not, and achieve unmatched glory."
"But leave Sea God Island intact. It wouldn't do for my little successor to inherit an empty sea."
The gods laughed again. Oscar had no intention of offending the Sea God, and he nodded. "Rest assured, I won't cross that line."
Afterward, Oscar mingled with the other gods, forming ties and arranging divine inheritances for those around him.
He secured the Ice God for Shui Bing'er, the Sword God for Dai Yue, the Azure Luan Goddess for Xue Qingluan, the Poison God for Dugu Bo, and the Life God King for Ye Lingling.
Seeing this, the God of Destruction couldn't help but ask, "Eternal one, when will there be a successor suited for me?"
Oscar raised an eyebrow. "Not yet, but the time will come. Rest assured, I'll take care of it."
Oscar stayed in the God Realm for only a short while, but three months passed in the mortal world.
Now, Dugu Yan, Gu Yue, and Qian Renxue were all pregnant and had left seclusion to rest in the palace.
Oscar returned from the God Realm with many treasures,items of immeasurable value on the Douluo Continent.
Though gods were forbidden to interfere with the mortal realm, Oscar's unique position allowed him to slip through such rules.
Moreover, since his unification of the continent and alliance with the Soul Beasts benefited the world's will itself, no one objected.
He gave the treasures to his three wives, strengthening their cultivation and benefiting their unborn children.
When those children were born, they would undoubtedly become unmatched talents, born of the strongest lineage on the continent.
While his wives rested, Oscar spent his days accompanying them. Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling continued their training, as they still lagged behind the others.
Though Oscar had arranged divine connections for them, they would still need their own strength to truly inherit godhood.
During this time, Oscar continued to develop the continent.
With his immense power, abundant resources, and the technology from the Sun and Moon Continent, construction of the Spirit Transmission Tower was proceeding smoothly and expected to finish within five years.
Progress on artificial spirit rings was slower, but once it began, success was only a matter of time.
Since the Soul Beasts and Sea Beasts were now cooperating fully, artificial spirit rings would one day perfectly resolve the conflict between humans and beasts.
Having set these plans in motion, Oscar also accelerated the conquest of the seas. His avatars, alongside the Demon Queen and three generals, subdued many powerful sea beasts and gradually built an ocean empire.
Among them, the most interesting case was the Mermaid Tribe. Their chieftain even proposed marrying his two daughters, Princess Lijing and Princess Liya, to the Eternal Emperor.
Oscar wasn't particularly tempted but wasn't about to waste such an opportunity either.
He promised that once his children came of age, they could form ties with the mermaid princesses, strengthening relations between humans and soul beasts.
This would further solidify the alliance between the two races.
After all, at higher levels of existence, racial boundaries blurred,most cultivators ultimately assumed human form.
Besides, the mermaid princesses were stunning beyond compare. As a father, Oscar saw no harm in arranging fine matches for his sons.
He believed his sons would one day thank him for his foresight.
Of course, there were also those shameless enough to request engagements with his future daughters. Oscar refused outright.
No matter who they were, he would never give away his precious girls.
He still remembered how he once flirted with Dugu Yan behind Dugu Bo's back and dreaded the idea of someone doing the same to his daughters.
Even before his children were born, Oscar was already preparing to "beat up any blonde punk" who dared approach his girls.
He vowed that if he ever had daughters, he would raise them well and keep all those troublemakers far away.
