Chapter 305: Sunset Forest, Reencounter with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan
As for the war where Wuhun Hall, Heaven Dou, and Star Luo Empires united, Dugu Bo wouldn't dare to join it!
Dugu Bo was clever enough to know that participating in that war could very likely result in his death. After all, he was a Title Douluo, a powerful and threatening individual capable of mass destruction.
If he showed up, he would likely be immediately attacked by soul beasts and killed!
Moreover, if Ye Wen were to be honest, he had actually done Dugu Bo and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, a great favor.
After all, if Ye Wen hadn't taught them how to detoxify, Dugu Bo would still be suffering from the backlash of the Green Scale Snake's poison, and his granddaughter might have already been dead.
For Dugu Bo, Ye Wen was a benefactor, so he had no intention of going to that war.
Instead, he chose to focus on cultivating in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, where he was on the verge of reaching the 94th-level Title Douluo rank, a path that seemed much more appealing.
"Grandpa! The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes truly are a sanctuary for cultivation. After two years of following you here, I'm about to break through to the Soul Saint realm!" Dugu Yan said joyfully, holding onto Dugu Bo's arm.
In this life, due to Ye Wen's influence, the course of the world had changed, and ultimately, Dugu Yan had not ended up with Yu Tianheng.
"Mm, as expected of my granddaughter. Yan Yan, at your age, about to break through to the Soul Saint realm before turning 32, that's quite a talent, even on the continent. Grandpa is so proud of you," Dugu Bo said with satisfaction, nodding and praising her.
It was undeniable that reaching the Soul Saint realm at 32 was indeed a remarkable achievement.
After all, the second-youngest Soul Emperor, Qin Ming, achieved his rank at 30, and the continent's youngest Title Douluo, Tang Hao, became a Title Douluo at 44.
These were just the records of a few previous generations, but undoubtedly, there were even younger talents who had not been made public.
"Hehe," Dugu Yan laughed. Though in her thirties, she still acted like a little girl when in front of her grandpa.
"Grandpa, how long do you think it will take you to reach the 94th-level Title Douluo rank?" Dugu Yan asked.
Dugu Bo said with confidence and pride, "At most six months, I'm confident I'll break through to the 94th level!"
"That's great! No one in the Soul Master world will dare to mock you as the weakest Title Douluo anymore!" Dugu Yan rejoiced for her grandpa.
Dugu Bo snorted, "Hmph! Yan Yan, your grandpa is no longer the weakest Title Douluo on the continent!"
"The Snake Spear Douluo from Wuhun Hall is far weaker than me, and the Piranha Douluo—during the war between Wuhun Hall, Heaven Dou, and Star Luo, if the Piranha Douluo hadn't died, he would've never been my opponent!"
Dugu Bo spoke proudly.
"However, Yan Yan, if it weren't for Ye Wen, teaching us how to detoxify from the backlash of the Green Scale Snake's poison, neither you nor I would have reached this level."
"Yo, I didn't expect this old poison master to still remember my favor. Not bad, not bad. Looks like teaching you wasn't in vain," a voice suddenly echoed through the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.
The grandfather and granddaughter, happily chatting, were startled by the sudden voice. They immediately tensed up, becoming wary.
They turned their gaze toward the source of the voice and saw a familiar figure standing on the stone path by the spring in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes—it was Ye Wen.
Ye Wen was crouching there, beaming a radiant smile and waving at them. "Hi, we meet again, Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan."
"It's... It's you!!"
The grandfather and granddaughter were completely startled.
Although Dugu Bo respected Ye Wen, that didn't mean he wasn't afraid of him!
Furthermore, Dugu Bo had no idea why Ye Wen had suddenly appeared and feared that if Ye Wen was displeased, he might just kill them.
"Yan Yan, come behind me!" Dugu Bo quickly moved to protect his granddaughter, fear clearly evident in his trembling body. Cold sweat was dripping down his face.
Dugu Yan also looked panicked.
"Hey, don't panic, don't panic. I won't hurt you," Ye Wen said, shaking his head with a smile, and jumped in front of Dugu Bo. "We haven't seen each other in a long time, have we?"
Dugu Bo trembled, "Since the Soul Master Competition years ago, I haven't seen you again. Only rumors about you have remained."
"Lord Beast God, is there something you need from us?"
In these years, the things Ye Wen had done and the gods descending to the mortal realm were not unknown to the public. In fact, many people in the mortal realm had already learned some details.
So Dugu Bo understood—Ye Wen was definitely a god!
Dugu Bo knew he had to be extremely polite. Otherwise, he had no idea how he might meet his end!
"Oh, I'm just here to inform you that from now on, this place is mine, including the entire Sunset Forest," Ye Wen said with a casual smile, casually declaring the most domineering words.
"This... this! Sigh…"
Ye Wen was clearly asserting his dominance!
"Ah, such a precious place, is it really just going to be handed over like this..."
Dugu Bo felt incredibly uncomfortable. He was extremely unwilling, but he had no choice. He didn't dare say a word against it. In the face of absolute power, all he could do was comply.
"We understand. Lord Beast God, don't worry. My granddaughter and I will pack up and leave immediately."
Dugu Bo's heart ached. This was the perfect place for them to cultivate. They had just been chatting when suddenly, they were told to leave.
He had spent half his life here, and now, he had to give it up so easily. Dugu Bo truly felt the pain!
But he couldn't harbor any resentment because, in the face of absolute power, sometimes even anger couldn't arise.
Dugu Bo was about to leave with his granddaughter when Ye Wen suddenly called out to them, "Hey, old poison master, don't leave just yet. There's something I need to ask you."
"Lord Beast God, please ask."
"Dugu Bo, do you want to become a god?" Ye Wen asked with a smile.
"What! Become... become a god? Lord Beast God, what do you mean by that?" Dugu Bo's expression changed.
Ye Wen smiled, "Hehe, just answer me, yes or no."
"Yes! Of course, I want to!"
"Breaking through to level 100, ascending to become a god, and obtaining eternal life—that's the realm every soul master, every life, nearly everyone, desires. I, Dugu Bo, naturally want it. I long for it!" Dugu Bo exclaimed excitedly.
"Good, then I'll help you become a god," Ye Wen said seriously.
"Wha... What?"
Dugu Bo: ??????
