Chapter 3 Dragon Girl Bai Lu! The Immortal Boat Emerges from the Water!
"Light Feather Douluo said proudly."
Azure Luan Douluo nodded as well.
"Indeed, with the Grand Priest presiding over the Hall of Offerings and the Pope commanding thousands of soul masters, who in this world can rival our Spirit Empire?"
Both of them felt that way.
Having lived in Spirit City for a long time, this pride has long been ingrained in their bones.
Bai Lu looked up at the glowing board with slight surprise.
But soon, she became very indifferent again.
It could even be said that she had little interest.
She ignored the strange phenomena in the sky, lowered her head, and contentedly stuffed the food in her hand into her mouth, eating heartily.
Who cares about any kind of rankings?
Of all things, eating is the most important!
As long as she can enjoy her delicious food, even if the sky falls, there will always be a tall person to hold it up.
Looking at Bai Lu's carefree attitude, Azure Luan Douluo couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
This little rascal is really easygoing.
"Dragon Girl, is there anything else we need to be careful about, Grand Priest?"
"..."
Taking advantage of the moment when Bai Lu was chewing, Azure Luan Douluo asked cautiously.
Although Qian Daoliu was rescued, he was still weak and needed the divine doctor to take care of him at all times.
Bai Lu's mouth was bulging, and she was holding a string of freshly grilled squid in her hand.
She said indistinctly:
"Drink more hot water."
...
The core area of the Star Dou Forest.
The Lake of Life, its surface as calm as a mirror, was shattered.
That thunderous roar not only shook the heavens but also pierced through this ancient primeval forest, reaching deep into the lakebed.
Amidst the splashing water, a silver figure slowly emerged.
Her silver hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, reaching all the way to her ankles.
It was a face of unparalleled beauty that could eclipse the heavens and earth. Its features were so exquisite that they seemed otherworldly, and its eyes held a strange purple hue, exuding an innate nobility and aloofness.
What's most eye-catching is that pair of bare feet stepping on the void.
Tall and straight, with fair and delicate skin, like the finest mutton-fat jade, water droplets slid down her smooth leg lines, shimmering in the sunlight.
It's not just beauty, but a breathtaking allure that makes one's mouth dry at first glance, yet one dares not harbor the slightest thought of desecration under the other's sacred aura.
Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
She stretched her languid waist slightly, revealing her perfect curves, and exuded a charm that could make any beast submit.
The moment she appeared, the surrounding space distorted slightly.
A middle-aged man in black and a beautiful woman in a long emerald green dress appeared out of nowhere, their expressions extremely respectful, and they immediately knelt on one knee.
"Greetings, Lord!"
The Beast God Di Tian, the Emerald Swan Bi Ji.
The two ferocious beasts didn't even dare to raise their heads, for fear of disturbing the master's interest.
Gu Yuena nodded lightly, her gaze not lingering on them, but instead fixed on the enormous, golden light curtain in the sky.
A rare hint of surprise flashed across her stunning purple eyes.
"This list... I can't figure it out at all."
The voice was ethereal and melodious, yet it struck Di Tian and Bi Ji like a heavy hammer blow.
Di Tian suddenly looked up, his face filled with horror.
"What? Even the Lord can't see through it?"
In his heart, the Lord was an incarnation of the Dragon God, who inherited the elemental control power of the Silver Dragon King, and whose spiritual power was unparalleled in the world.
If even she cannot discern the truth behind this sky, then how terrifying must the entity behind this golden list be?
Gu Yuena ignored Di Tian's shock. She parted her red lips slightly and murmured the words on the sky.
"A rundown of various rankings in Douluo Continent?"
"The top six on the Douluo Power Ranking? Everyone who makes the list will receive a reward."
A glint of light flashed in her eyes, and a hint of amusement appeared on her previously calm face.
"Interesting."
"Besides those hypocritical guys in the divine realm, there are actually other such methods in this world."
Di Tian stood up, looked at the sky, and his eyes burned with a fervent fighting spirit.
"My lord!"
"My Star Dou Forest is home to hundreds of thousands of soul beasts, and there are many powerful beings over 100,000 years old. Moreover, you, my lord, are at the peak of the first level of godhood and are here to protect us."
"In terms of power, what is the Spirit Empire of humanity? What are the two great empires?"
"The top spot on this power ranking definitely belongs to us!"
Bi Ji, standing to the side, softly echoed her sentiments, her eyes filled with hope.
"Di Tian is right."
"Moreover, it says here that everyone who makes the list will receive a reward. Who knows, the heavens might even send down divine objects to help our lord recover from her injuries and return to the realm of the God-King."
Upon hearing the words "recover from injuries," Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
She has been asleep until now in order to recover from her injuries.
If it were to recover slowly on its own, it would take countless millennia.
Since this canopy is so miraculous, capable of even isolating divine senses, perhaps it truly has a way to heal her Dao injury.
Gu Yuena clenched her fist slightly, and the domineering aura she displayed in that instant made the surrounding air freeze for a moment.
"If it could really be like that..."
"Then I, Gu Yuena, will lead the soul beast race to completely break through that damned shackle that prevents us from becoming gods, and storm the God Realm!"
...
The far north, the core area.
This is a forbidden zone for humans, where snow falls year-round and the wind is as cold as a knife.
On a crystal-clear ice peak, a woman in a white dress stands quietly.
She had snow-white hair, skin as white as snow, and a cool and aloof temperament, as if she were the embodiment of this icy world.
The leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the Snow Emperor.
At this moment, she was staring blankly at the gray sky. Although her eyes were looking ahead, they were unfocused, and she was clearly distracted.
Beside her, a small, emerald-green scorpion flickered with light and transformed into a cute and charming girl with pigtails.
The Ice Emperor couldn't help but purse her lips when she saw the Snow Emperor's expression.
"Sister Xue, what's wrong? Are you thinking about that guy Jing Yuan again?"
"..."
The Snow Emperor came to her senses, sighed softly, and the white mist she exhaled instantly condensed into ice crystals.
"Why."
Another year has passed.
"If you count the time, it's been a full three years since he left Douluo Continent for the starry sea."
Her tone was filled with an unyielding resentment and longing.
Three years ago, that always smiling, seemingly lazy and casual man wandered into this far northern land.
Unlike other humans who would shout for war, he stayed there for a while, chatting with them and telling them stories from beyond the stars.
That extraordinary demeanor had already been deeply imprinted in the Snow Emperor's heart.
The Ice Emperor rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips.
"It's only been three years."
"For soul beasts like us who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, a nap takes more than three years; it's just a blink of an eye."
"Do you really have to act like a lonely, resentful woman confined to her chambers?"
The Snow Emperor shook her head, her gaze still somewhat unfocused.
"Ice Emperor, you don't understand."
"Some encounters are like a lifetime in a single glance."
"..."
