Chapter 286: Chapter 286: P-p-packed Up the Knapsack
Gu Yuena’s lovely mouth opened slightly, her hand reaching out as if to stop the Dragon God’s dissipating figure.
However, her movement was a step too slow. The Dragon God’s figure blurred at her fingertips, finally turning into specks of nine-colored light and vanishing between heaven and earth.
Only a single sentence was left echoing in the air: "The future of our race is in your hands..."
Gu Yuena slowly lowered her head, her gaze falling upon the seven-colored crystal pendant in her hand, which she slowly placed on her wrist.
The Dragon God’s remnant soul was already on the verge of disappearing. To be able to expend his final strength to smelt the divine bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings and condense the divine artifact, the Dragon God’s Tears, was already his limit.
He did not leave behind any will or thoughts, nor did he give Gu Yuena and Lin Feng the chance to ask any more questions.
Gu Yuena was in a slight daze, staring blankly at the seven-colored crystal pendant on her wrist. This was formed by the condensation of all the dragon souls in the Dragon Tomb. She could naturally feel the immense power within it. This divine artifact was directly linked to this space and could summon power from the plane where the dragon race resided. The stronger her spiritual power, the more power she could summon.
Aside from the limitation of a seven-day cooldown, it was an almost unparalleled treasure.
She took a deep breath, slowly walked towards the high platform, and looked at the Dragon God’s Heart before her, which was blooming with a soft, nine-colored halo. An indescribable and complex emotion welled up in her heart. This crystal was the core containing all the essence left behind by the Dragon God.
Gu Yuena gently reached out, her fingertips lightly touching the Dragon God’s Heart. A warm and immense power instantly poured into her body, merging with her bloodline.
She no longer hesitated. She grabbed the Dragon God’s Heart and instantly placed it on her chest.
The Dragon God’s Heart, as if it had a spirit of its own, immediately emitted an even more dazzling light upon contact with Gu Yuena. The nine-colored halo flowed, creating a strong resonance with the bloodline in Gu Yuena’s body. Gu Yuena felt streams of thick and pure power continuously pouring into her body. Her soul felt as if it had been cleansed by this power, becoming even purer.
Instantly, her aura was no longer concealed and gushed forth—the peak of a First-Class God!
Layer after layer of brilliant halos slowly unfolded around Gu Yuena’s body. Each halo contained endless power. They intertwined, setting off Gu Yuena like the most brilliant goddess in the world.
A nine-colored divine light flowed within the halos, echoing the bloodline in Gu Yuena’s body and exuding an ancient and sacred aura.
As the halos unfolded layer by layer, the entire space seemed to tremble. Immense power surged within it, moving even heaven and earth. This independent plane actually wavered for a moment.
Her power was constantly climbing, her soul was becoming purer and stronger. With just one more step, she could truly enter the realm of a God-King.
Once she completely fused with the Dragon God’s Heart and obtained the power of the Golden Dragon King, her strength would be far more than just that of a God-King.
In a short period of time, two beings at the peak of a First-Class God had appeared here. Lin Feng’s strength was even a step above. This was what it was like to have cheats.
A massive dragon phantom slowly rose from behind Gu Yuena, faintly emitting a seven-colored light. The sound of a dragon’s roar shook the heavens, echoing within this independent plane, as if announcing the birth of a new generation’s Dragon God.
Her originally silver dragon body was now tinged with a seven-colored luster. Her scales, illuminated by the seven-colored light, appeared even more magnificent.
When she retracted the overflowing energy into her body, Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes. A seven-colored light shone within them, and even her body had a faint seven-colored divine light flowing around it.
Gu Yuena’s appearance at this moment was like the most exquisite work of art in the world. Every part of her exuded an unparalleled beauty.
She was already the number one beauty in the world. Now that her bloodline had been enhanced, Lin Feng even felt that this beauty carried with it the rhythm of the Dao.
Her beauty seemed to transcend the mundane, containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, making one unable to resist the urge to draw closer with a single glance.
Oh no, has the succubus attribute finally awakened?
With Gu Yuena as she is now, who could possibly be her opponent?
She slowly walked down from the air, lotuses blooming with every step. By the time she reached Lin Feng, Gu Yuena gave a dazzling smile. "Somehow, I feel like I can’t beat you?"
Lin Feng wrapped his arm around Gu Yuena’s waist. "It’s right that you can’t beat me. If you could, I’d really become a live-in son-in-law."
Gu Yuena chuckled softly. "Father God was just joking." She rested her head on Lin Feng’s shoulder and said softly, "But your strength has indeed improved so quickly, even I’m surprised."
Lin Feng stroked Gu Yuena’s beautiful hair and said, "This space has become a bit unstable."
"Mmm," Gu Yuena closed her eyes and nestled in Lin Feng’s embrace. "Father God’s power has completely dissipated, all the dragon souls have turned into this divine artifact, and with the overflow of our auras just now, this space has endured too much pressure."
She could feel the surrounding air seeming to tremble slightly, and fine cracks had appeared on the distant spatial barriers.
She hugged Lin Feng and slowly uttered two words. "Help me."
"Mmm."
And so, for the next week, Lin Feng and Gu Yuena worked together to stabilize this collapsing independent plane.
They used their own powerful strength and deep understanding of the elemental laws to jointly repair the cracks on the spatial barriers, while carefully controlling their auras to avoid impacting this fragile space again.
"This place has been isolated from the outside world for a long time and lacks energy replenishment. The spatial structure has become fragile," Lin Feng analyzed as he repaired the cracks. "Why don’t we let it completely attach to the Douluo Star and hide it on the continent? That way, it can be replenished with the world’s origin energy."
Gu Yuena nodded. It took another three days, but Lin Feng and Gu Yuena finally stabilized the spatial barriers of this independent plane and successfully connected it to the Douluo Star, hiding it in a secret place on the Douluo Continent.
This space, which had once floated in solitude, had now become a secret realm on the Douluo Star, quietly absorbing the origin energy of heaven and earth and gradually recovering its vitality.
"It’s time to go out."
Lin Feng and Gu Yuena smiled at each other. Hand in hand, their figures gradually blurred, and they finally disappeared from this newly stabilized secret realm.
When they reappeared, they were back on familiar land. The sun shone down, a gentle breeze blew, and everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
Gu Yuena stretched languidly and looked at Lin Feng beside her. "I forgot to ask back in the Dragon Tomb. Where’s Qing Xuan?"
Lin Feng was taken aback. "Uh, she went back to the Divine Realm."
Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes, her jade-like arm hooking around his neck. "Oh? So, the plan that Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong helped you with, did it succeed?"
"You knew?"
"Could they hide it from me? Without my tacit approval, do they think anything they did would have had a chance of success? Remember what I said? You are my property."
Gu Yuena greedily inhaled the scent coming from Lin Feng. As everyone knows, the nature of dragons is lustful. Having had her bloodline enhanced, her desires and strength in a certain aspect had grown even stronger.
"Hah—"
"You got her, didn’t you?" she whispered by his ear, her orchid-like breath ghosting over his skin.
"Mmm."
The corners of Gu Yuena’s lips curved up slightly. "I knew about the matter with Qing Xuan. So, now, should we continue our previous conversation? Tell me in detail about that Bo Saixi. I’m very curious how she came to have a connection with you, and what kind of position she occupies in your heart."
"She, hmmf?."
Lin Feng had just said one word when he was silenced by Gu Yuena’s slender index finger pressing against his lips.
"Shh, don’t be in a hurry to explain," Gu Yuena’s eyes sparkled with a sly light. She smiled gently, her body leaning forward slightly, as if waiting for some reaction from Lin Feng. "I have my own judgment. Right now, I don’t want to hear what kind of position she has. I want to know my position. Use your actions, tell me, give it to me~"
Her index finger slowly lowered, and her crimson lips gently covered Lin Feng’s, silencing all his words, conveying her will through action alone.
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then reacted. Gu Yuena was going to "interrogate" him about Bo Saixi through practical actions.
He responded to Gu Yuena’s kiss intensely, his hands wrapping around her waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace.
After an unknown amount of time, the two slowly separated, both of their breaths a little ragged.
"It’s been so long since I’ve seen you. I need to collect some interest."
Gu Yuena licked the corner of her lips and looked at the Lin Feng before her, a dazed look in her eyes. The next moment, their figures vanished from the spot.
No one knew where they went.
One month later.
Lin Feng appeared on a certain part of the Sun Moon Plain, his face a little pale. Gu Yuena’s figure slowly materialized beside him.
Her face, tinged with an intoxicating blush, was beaming with a satisfied and happy smile.
Gu Yuena gently held Lin Feng’s arm and let out a small burp, like someone who had just eaten their fill.
Her entire being exuded an aura of laziness and contentment, as if she had just experienced the ultimate feast.
The delicate skin on her cheeks still held a few lingering traces of blush, like roses blooming in the dawn, both beautiful and carrying an indescribable charm.
Even simply standing there, she revealed an ineffable allure. That slightly lazy demeanor added a touch of mature beauty to her charm.
Gu Yuena gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her exquisite earlobe and the beautiful line of her neck.
"Alright, you’re forgiven."
The corner of Lin Feng’s mouth twitched. Compared to Gu Yuena’s radiant glow at this moment, he looked a little battered. He had lost, lost miserably.
Even Lin Feng hadn’t expected that Gu Yuena, after having her Dragon God bloodline enhanced, would be so "enthusiastic" and "domineering." With his current foundation, he was still utterly defeated.
I must increase my strength without delay, Lin Feng thought to himself. I must firmly secure the emperor’s throne at home and absolutely cannot let Gu Yuena turn the tables and become the master. Although lying down seems less tiring, I feel this is not good.
Gu Yuena’s eyes flickered. With a wave of her fair hand, she temporarily confined a wisp of the Power of Faith in her palm. The Power of Faith flowed like a substance, emitting a faint light. It struggled in her palm, like a shy young maiden who, while walking home, was suddenly pulled into an embrace by a delinquent punk.
She looked at the struggling Power of Faith and said with some surprise, "Has your Power of Faith become so vast already? It seems a lot has happened while I was away, huh? I didn’t notice before. It was only after coming to the Sun Moon Continent that I realized the thickness of this Power of Faith is simply beyond imagination. You’d better confess. Did you secretly do something earth-shattering behind my back again?"
Lin Feng blinked. "Is it possible that even when we’re not on the Sun Moon Continent, this Power of Faith has always existed, slowly flowing into my body? It’s just that you were busy with other things and didn’t notice, and I didn’t have a chance to tell you."
Gu Yuena’s face flushed. Busy handling Lin Feng, of course I wasn’t paying attention. She coughed lightly. "Then tell me now."
She released the wisp of the Power of Faith. It immediately fled from the wolf’s den like a delicate lamb and shot into Lin Feng’s body.
"Mmm," Lin Feng wrapped his arm around Gu Yuena’s waist and began to speak. "We once discussed the matter of obtaining the Power of Faith from the Sun Moon Continent. Now, I have completed the majority of it. This Power of Faith comes from there."
"So quickly?"
"Yes," Lin Feng nodded with a smile. "The faith system of the Sun Moon Continent has been preliminarily established. With more and more believers, the Power of Faith naturally flows in continuously. Bo Saixi and Ling Yuan were also with me in—"
"Hmm?" Gu Yuena’s willow-like eyebrows raised slightly. She had been busy with other things and had once again forgotten to ask about this Bo Saixi. "The things that happened after I left, tell me about them properly now. We can talk as we walk."
Lin Feng nodded lightly and walked side by side with Gu Yuena, strolling slowly across the Sun Moon Plain.
Though it was called a stroll, each step actually covered a distance of several dozen feet.
When he spoke of how he had won over Qing Xuan with a kiss, Gu Yuena gave Lin Feng a playful look, then nodded.
When he spoke of how Bo Saixi and Ling Yuan had worked together to pull a switcheroo and experience the "secret room," Gu Yuena’s gaze towards Lin Feng suddenly became a little subtle.
She smiled gently, a hint of deep meaning hidden in her smile. "It seems that you, the newly chosen Lord Sea God, had quite an exciting time while I was away. Taken in as your disciple, then turning the tables on you, riding the master and disrespecting the ancestor, emmm, interesting."
Lin Feng asked with some surprise, "You knew about the matter with the Snow Empress?"
"Naturally," Gu Yuena chuckled. "The king of the Far North, heh. The ’daddy’ she called you when she first met you, I remember it vividly. Quite stimulating, wasn’t it? This is her inescapable fate."
The corner of Lin Feng’s mouth twitched slightly. He now suspected that the Snow Empress had been deliberately brought over by her. After all, Tianmeng had been thrown back to the Lake of Life by her. And the Ice Empress had been left in the Far North by her and the Snow Empress under the pretext that the region needed a fierce beast to guard it. Only the Snow Empress had conveniently traveled with them and arrived at Wuhun City together.
As they spoke, they had already arrived at Mingdu, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.
The two materialized in Lin Feng’s private research lab.
Gu Yuena casually looked around, then carefully picked up a soul tool placed on the research bench and examined it closely. This was a recent work of Lin Feng’s research, capable of amplifying a soul master’s spiritual power. For a soul engineer, it was a rare treasure.
"Interesting," Gu Yuena said softly. "The creativity of humans is, in the end, incomparable to other races."
"I’ve named this soul tool the ’Spiritual Amplification Device.’ It’s a level-four soul tool," Lin Feng said slowly. "Not only can it enhance a soul master’s spiritual power, but at critical moments, it can also provide the soul master with a spiritual shield to defend against external spiritual attacks."
Gu Yuena nodded. "It seems you were right. The future development of soul tools may exceed my imagination."
As the two were talking, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the room.
"Xiao Feng? Is that you, are you back?"
