Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San all nodded in agreement.
"That's right, he used to live off Bibi Dong and became a member of the Spirit Hall."
"Now that he's been dumped by Bibi Dong, he's gone off to live off Wu Zetian."
"It's a disgrace to men!"
They use this derogatory approach to mask the unspeakable envy deep in their hearts.
After all, who wouldn't want to live off a woman?
That's an empress who's on par with the God King!
At this moment, Ning Rongrong noticed the final reward, and her eyes lit up.
"What a generous reward!"
"Was Empress Wu Zetian the one who created her own divine position and returned it to the same level as a God-King?"
"This is so enviable."
Xiao Wu also looked on with longing. Although she was a soul beast in human form, she knew how precious a divine position was.
"I really want it."
"If I could get this reward, I'd be laughing in my sleep."
Zhu Zhuqing was also slightly moved.
"Who wouldn't want it?"
"This is the throne of a god-king, and a self-created one at that, it is extremely precious."
"Compared to an inherited divine position, creating one's own divine position is undoubtedly more suitable for oneself and has greater potential."
Hearing this, Tang San felt even worse.
He is currently undergoing the Nine Trials of the Sea God, and he has risked his life and endured many hardships in pursuit of that Sea God's position.
But Wu Zetian did the opposite; she directly rewarded him with a divine kingship.
"Wouldn't that be even stronger than the Sea God's position I possess?"
Tang San clenched his fist.
Although the sea god is also a first-level deity, he is ultimately inferior to the god king.
Starry Sky Forest, Core Area.
The Lake of Life is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the crimson-gold light that fills the sky above.
But this tranquility only lasted on the surface of the lake; the atmosphere on the lakeside had long since become restless because of the words on the sky.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena stood by the lake, her silver hair fluttering gently in the vibrant breeze. The composure that had settled in her purple eyes was now replaced by deep confusion and shock.
She stared at the four large characters "Heavenly Mandate Imperial Wheel," her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
"The Wheel of Destiny?"
"What kind of martial spirit is this? How dare it be named after the word 'destiny'?"
Gu Yuena's voice was clear and melodious, yet carried a hint of solemnity.
As the ruler of all spirit beasts, she has lived for countless years and has seen countless human martial spirits, but none have dared to use the term "destiny," which touches the bottom line of the rules, to name them.
The Beast God Di Tian, Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Lord, and Emerald Swan Bi Ji, who were standing behind her, were also looking up, with different expressions.
Xiong Jun scratched his thick neck and said in a deep voice:
"Whatever it's called, I don't believe this thing can be more powerful than my Sky-Tearing Claw. Humans always like to give it fancy names."
However, as detailed annotations about martial soul abilities appeared one by one on the sky, Xiong Jun's disdainful expression instantly froze on his face.
Gu Yuena's pupils contracted sharply.
"The sun and moon shine brightly in the sky, and I alone reign supreme!"
She murmured the comment, a strange chill creeping into her heart.
Immediately afterwards, the domineering skill description struck the hearts of all the beasts like a heavy hammer.
"The Sun Wheel governs defense, dominance, and empowerment. The Moon Wheel governs offense, weakening, and judgment. It is a perfect blend of offense and defense, leaving no opening."
If this was still within the realm of powerful martial souls, then the next line of text completely shattered Gu Yuena's understanding of the rules of power.
"What's even more incredible is…"
Gu Yuena's voice trembled slightly.
"No matter where the enemy is, no matter how far away, a magic circle can be summoned from the sky to lock onto the opponent."
"Ignores space, inflicts devastating damage and forces enemies to stun."
These few lines of text shimmered with golden light against the sky, each character resembling a law.
"Ignoring spatial targeting?!"
Gu Yuena gasped in shock.
How is that possible?
She herself is the Silver Dragon King who controls the elements, and her understanding of spatial power is almost unparalleled in this plane.
Even for her, accurately striking an enemy from thousands of miles away is an extremely mentally taxing and even difficult task.
But this martial spirit actually uses it as a basic ability?
Even Di Tian's usually calm and dignified face was now filled with horror.
"My lord, this..."
"Ignore space, ignore distance."
"Doesn't this mean that if Wu Zetian wanted to, she could directly attack us, who are located in the Star Dou Great Forest, even within the Tang Empire?"
The moment this thought crossed their minds, all the ferocious beasts present felt a chill run down their spines.
Brigitte covered her lips, her eyes filled with terror.
"This is so unreasonable."
"This kind of ability is the authority of a god. How could it appear in a human's martial soul?"
Gu Yuena took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.
She looked at the enormous sun and moon disc in the sky, a hint of apprehension flashing in her eyes.
"What a powerful martial spirit."
"This is definitely not a power that should exist in the mortal realm."
But then, an even bigger question arose in her mind.
"Such a heaven-defying, so domineering, it can even be said that it not only ignores space, but also breaks the balance of the martial spirit..."
"Only ranked fourth?"
Gu Yuena's voice rose a few decibels, filled with utter bewilderment.
If this god-level martial soul, which can attack the entire map and integrate offense and defense, can only be ranked fourth, then what kind of monsters are the top three ranked ahead of it?
"What martial spirit should be ranked first?"
Di Tian also looked bewildered and shook his head.
"The changes in the human world have completely exceeded our expectations."
"This Heavenly Golden List is more astonishing than ever before."
The other spirit beasts looked at each other in dismay. Their contempt for humans had vanished, replaced by deep apprehension.
Just as the beasts were still processing the impact of the martial soul's strength, the scene in the sky changed again.
The holder's identity information is clearly revealed.
"Wu Zetian, the Empress of the Tang Dynasty!"
Looking at the line of text, Gu Yuena seemed to be deep in thought.
"So it was the empress of the Tang Dynasty in the east."
The Star Dou Great Forest is located in the heart of the Douluo Continent. As the ruler of all soul beasts, Gu Yuena naturally has a thorough understanding of the continent's layout.
At the easternmost edge of the continent, there indeed lies a mysterious and vast empire.
She just hadn't expected that the ruler of that empire would possess such terrifying power.
However.
The next second.
When the words "admiration for Qianyu" appeared, the originally serious and oppressive atmosphere instantly became strange.
Gu Yuena's purple eyes widened, and a very human-like expression of surprise appeared on her face.
"What?"
"Wu Zetian actually liked Qian Yu?"
This was even more absurd to her than seeing "ignore space" earlier.
She was an empress, a peerless powerhouse with a god-level martial soul; she must have been arrogant and haughty.
How could someone like that fall for a man?
