...After experiencing a month of madness that could be called an "Angel's Divine Punishment," Qian Renxue finally showed mercy and let go of Xuan Ming, whose eyes were already turning black from exhaustion.
During this month, Xuan Ming truly understood what it meant by "lust is a bone-scraping steel knife."
At first, he held the mindset of "if you can't resist, then enjoy it," and even actively cooperated, trying to take the lead in this "war." But as time passed, he realized he was wrong.
Utterly wrong.
Qian Renxue wasn't enjoying it at all; she was "feeding," she was taking "revenge," and she was using the most primitive method to fill her thousand years of emptiness.
He felt as if his entire being was about to collapse from exhaustion.
It wasn't that his divine force was depleted, but rather extreme mental exhaustion.
"This kind of thing... truly, too much is as bad as too little."
Xuan Ming held his aching lower back, watching the morning sun slowly rise in the distance, letting out a sigh from the depths of his Soul, "A gentle land is a hero's grave. The ancients truly did not deceive me."
Initially, he could still enjoy it based on his love for Qian Renxue and the sense of novelty. But as the frequency increased and the time stretched on, that pure joy began to change. Later, he felt like a worker forced to work overtime to complete a task, until even his Soul became numb.
Qian Renxue also saw that his state was not right.
Although this Angel God was usually proud and aloof, she knew how to care for her man at critical moments.
After a month of intense "venting," having mostly released the resentment and longing of these thousand years, she finally showed mercy and decided to let Xuan Ming go.
The two of them rested quietly in the valley for a few days, drinking tea, reading books, and chatting, which finally replenished that hollowed-out feeling.
"Let's go, it's time to go back to Douluo Star and take a look."
Having recovered her spirits, Qian Renxue put back on her sacred palace dress. Although her eyes still held a few lingering traces of flirtatiousness, her temperament had returned to that of the high and mighty Angel God King.
"I heard the good show over there has already reached its climax."
...Returning to Douluo Star once again, the atmosphere here was noticeably more tense than ten years ago.
In the sky above Heaven Dou City, although spirit tool flying cars still shuttled back and forth like a web, the ubiquitous holographic advertisements had been replaced by "Emergency Martial Law Orders" issued by the Federation Government and high rewards for the "Tang Sect remnants" and the "heretic Huo Yuhao."
Xuan Ming and Qian Renxue hid their presence, strolling down a somewhat desolate street.
"It seems that kid has caused quite a stir in these ten years."
Xuan Ming looked at a half-torn wanted poster on the side of the road. Although Huo Yuhao's portrait looked slightly youthful, the determination in his eyes was impressive. "Ten years ago, he was just a little mouse being chased everywhere. Now he can actually make the Federation so wary?"
"It's more than just being wary."
Qian Renxue gave a light laugh, her tone carrying a bit of admiration. "Huo Yuhao truly lives up to being the child of destiny you favored. In these ten years, under the matchmaking of that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the Soul-guidance of a powerful Necromancer from another dimension, his growth rate has been like a rocket."
"He has now reached the Realm of a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo. Moreover, his mental force cultivation is even more terrifying, even touching the threshold of the Divine Origin."
"However..."
Qian Renxue's tone shifted. "The current Douluo Federation is no pushover either. After all, it's a plane approaching a god star, so its foundation is there. Those semi-divine Old freaks hidden behind the Federation and the Church, although their time is near, their combat power still cannot be underestimated."
"Although Huo Yuhao has become a Limit Douluo, if it comes to a head-on clash, he still can't beat those old fellows who already have half a foot in the Divine Rank."
"But, this kid is smart because he doesn't use brute force against those Old freaks."
"His talent in spirit tools and Battle Armor technology is simply that of a genius. He combined the knowledge of that extra-dimensional Necromancer to create a combat system unique to him. Even against those semi-gods, if he can't win, he can run, and he can even bite back."
"Now, he has raised the banner of the Spirit Pagoda, gathering a group of like-minded young Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts who don't want to die, and even... some of your old acquaintances."
"Old acquaintances?" Xuan Ming frowned slightly. "Didn't I order the Angel God Temple and Sea God Island old fellows not to interfere? Would Ning Fengzhi and the others dare to defy my orders?"
"Of course not them."
Qian Renxue shook her head. "It's the Legacy of another person. That thing is called the Tang Sect."
"Tang Sect?"
Hearing these two words, Xuan Ming's gaze narrowed slightly. "Tang San?"
That was a name from a very long time ago. So long that if Qian Renxue hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten the original protagonist.
"Exactly."
Qian Renxue explained, "Back then, for Tang Yuehua's sake, you granted a general amnesty and spared the people of the Clear Sky Sect."
"That old thing Xu Hong was soft-hearted after all. After all, Tang San and his granddaughter already had a child at that time. So after the Douluo Federation was established, Xu Hong brought Tang San back to the Sun Moon Imperial Family."
"Under the mediation of Bai Chenxiang, the Strength Clan, who possessed forging skills, and the Clear Sky Sect Spirit Masters, who possessed the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, began to transform. They abandoned traditional cold-weapon Hidden Weapons and turned to the combined development of spirit tools and Hidden Weapons."
"At the time, this was an extremely forward-thinking decision."
"Ten thousand years ago, with the strong support of Xu Hong and the Sun Moon Imperial Family, Tang San founded the Tang Sect. The core technology of the Douluo Federation's earliest God-Slaying grade fixed spirit tool cannons came from the hands of the Tang Sect. At that time, the Tang Sect was an honored guest of the Federation, an absolute authority in the field of weapons research and development."
At this point, Qian Renxue sighed, feeling somewhat emotional.
"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last."
"Five thousand years ago, with the retirement of Ning Fengzhi and Bai Chenxiang's generation, the Tang Sect lost its greatest political backing. And the core technologies they possessed were too enviable."
"The later Federation high-levels, under the pretext of maliciously developing weapons of mass destruction and threatening Federation security, began to frantically suppress the Tang Sect. They wanted to annex the Tang Sect's technology, but they didn't want to give the Tang Sect its due status."
"After thousands of years of boiling the frog in warm water, the current Tang Sect has long lost its former glory. Even its Legacy is almost broken, with only a few stragglers left, lingering in dark corners."
"Until Huo Yuhao appeared."
"This kid somehow hooked up with the current Tang Sect Sect Leader. Two people who were equally driven to a dead end by the Federation hit it off immediately."
"They combined Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit System, necromancy, and the Tang Sect's bottom-of-the-barrel top-secret blueprints to develop a very interesting weapon of mass destruction."
