"Everything is under control!"
Hearing An Zhen's answer, Gu Yuena nodded gently. Her face, still flushed, showed little surprise, but rather a relieved smile. She snuggled her head against An Zhen's chest, finding a comfortable position. Her shapely body was only covered by a white bath towel, revealing half of her rounded, proud, and stubborn breasts. There was no more beautiful sight than this.
A being who was once a god-king.
She received a great opportunity, which seems to have left her with many hidden cards that she herself did not know.
A powerful being from another world, whose strength is almost at the limit that this world can contain.
The two of them working together to secretly control an Empire that actually didn't even have a Limit Douluo was not an extremely difficult task, but it wasn't simple either.
Huo Yutong blinked.
Knowing it wasn't the right time, Huo Yutong didn't voice his inner questions. Besides, compared to the present moment, those questions were unimportant.
"The previous Ninth-Level Soul Engineer" " Luan Feng was arranged by me," An Zhen said. "The threat of death and the allure of hope and dreams... I'll reveal a little about your identities to her later. What are your thoughts?"
"Learn Spirit Tool." Gu Yuena parted her cherry lips slightly.
Her situation is different from An Zhen's.
In Gu Yuena's eyes, An Zhen had relinquished his dragon body, merging his soul with that opportunity. Without actively revealing himself, he bore no resemblance to a True Dragon, much like a Spirit Beast undergoing a complete transformation, perhaps even more thoroughly. He could try ascending to the God Realm in a human form. But she couldn't. She wouldn't abandon her bloodline, for she was the Queen of the Dragon Clan, their leader. She was born with the mission of reviving the Dragon Clan, devouring the Golden Dragon King, and restoring the glory of the Dragon God.
But she was too badly injured.
The conditions on the Douluo Continent are too poor.
Even now, they can't stabilize the wound.
Making large movements can easily reveal your presence.
Her memories are incomplete, and she doesn't know much about the truth behind the Dragon God War.
But one thing is beyond doubt.
She is an enemy of the current Divinity group, including Douluo God Realm.
Even if, as An Zhen said, the Dragon God War was a mistake made by the Dragon God in his madness, and in his last moment of lucidity, Asura God split him in two, even if we don't mention that Asura God had already been replaced ten thousand years ago, even if he hadn't been replaced, a powerful being who had long since reached the realm of God King would certainly not want a new boss to suddenly appear above him.
We can only continue to hide.
However, after An Zhen's description and her interactions over the years, she discovered that human technology does have some merit. Since she was just lying at home recovering from her injury anyway, she decided to come out and learn about these new things. After she finished learning about the human spirit tool path, she could try to continue exploring towards the level of gods on this path.
"Me too," Huo Yutong said.
This was one of the purposes of her trip.
Become a powerful Soul Guide.
I can make a spirit tool for An Zhen.
Although it can't compare to Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in terms of making money, it can still be considered as supporting An Zhen to some extent.
As for the other purpose of this trip—stealing the Sun Moon Empire She could use her knowledge of spirit tools to help Shrek Academy. However, this place now seemed to be An Zhen's territory. The academy had been kind to her, but she couldn't betray An Zhen.
Huo Yutong's eyes, as bright as stars, gazed at An Zhen.
So, what role does An Zhen, who is very likely to become the next Sea God Pavilion Master, play in all of this?
"It's getting late." An Zhen groped around with both hands.
The two beautiful girls let out a soft moan, and an alluring blush returned to their faces.
"It's time to sleep."
"Wait...wait a minute." Gu Yuena grabbed An Zhen's hand, which was resting on the towel. As if she had thought of something, her beautiful face blushed crimson, her pure and shy expression blending together. She looked at An Zhen with a stubborn look, "Call Zi Ji over."
Huo Yutong can only play support roles now.
It could even stimulate An Zhen, making her more excited.
Gu Yuena felt she needed a helper.
Otherwise, they might lose badly.
Like that scene in the bathroom just now.
In just a few months, this guy's physical body has become so much stronger.
"Zi Ji is already asleep," An Zhen said casually. With Gu Yuena's half-hearted resistance, An Zhen pulled off Gu Yuena's bath towel with one hand and turned her soft and delicate body over. Gu Yuena was then made to lie face down under An Zhen.
"Even though the lord already really wants it."
"Shut...shut up."
...
Virtual World.
"Hmm~"
An Zhen lay on the ground.
Huo Yutong lifted her slender, beautiful legs, which were clad in white socks.
"The specifics need to be explained starting with my background."
An Zhen's voice rang out, carrying a strange emotion in his tone.
"My biological parents are descendants of the Douling Royal Family, many generations removed from the current emperor. In their pursuit of advancement, they came to the Sun Moon Empire, but when they obtained the Spirit Ring..."
An Zhen is telling a story.
His story.
Huo Yutong listened, her beautiful legs working hard.
Listening to An Zhen's past in the orphanage.
Adopted by the Hongchen Family.
My relationship with Jing Hongchen and Smile Meng, siblings.
Due to some issues with Spirit, I went to Shrek Academy.
What follows is what Huo Yutong knows.
The story continues until An Zhen left a few months prior.
Emperor Rui Beast An Qiuer, Hell Demonic Dragon King Zi Ji, Meng Hongchen, enslaves the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire, and her relationship with the young empress...
"I see," Huo Yutong murmured softly.
After finishing their pre-sleep exercise, a cute little blue-haired girl nestled in An Zhen's arms, her arms wrapped around him, her chin resting on his chest. Even after hearing everything, she didn't show much emotion. Huo Yutong asked softly, "So, what does Brother An Zhen plan to do?"
An Zhen gently stroked Huo Yutong's head and said, " The Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy, and the Original Douluo Continent once fought a large-scale war, and there are often frictions between them. Is this situation going to continue indefinitely?"
"This might be the scene many on the Original Douluo Continent want to see, but the truth is, even without Teacher Mu En and Elder Xuan's ascension to Limit Douluo, the Sun Moon Empire still possesses the ability to crush and conquer the Original Douluo Three Kingdoms, even without the Holy Spirit Church's assistance. Yu Tong, once you understand the Sun Moon Empire more closely, you'll find that, aside from extraordinary geniuses like us, this era should have been the era of spirit tools. Even if war doesn't break out, with the advancement of spirit tools, the Sun Moon Empire will grow stronger, and the increasingly powerful Soul Guides will need more, and soul guide technology will need more. When a disparity in combat power emerges, war will inevitably break out; this is the inevitability of the progress of the times."
Huo Yutong gently shook his head, "But the current situation is not the same as what Brother An Zhen said. Brother An Zhen asked Senior Electrolux to help Elder Mu survive and to help Elder Xuan be promoted to Limit Douluo."
An Zhen smiled slightly, " Does Yu Tong know that the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided technology is currently improving at an alarming rate?"
Huo Yutong:?
The little cutie was puzzled.
An Zhen had a sudden thought.
A screen displaying an image appeared beside the two of them.
An elderly man with white hair appeared on the screen.
He was in very bad shape; crimson blood flowed from his seven orifices, his breath was weak, and he looked like he was seriously injured and dying. A silver light, like moonlight, flowed over his body like water, like a galaxy poured down from the universe.
It was Kong Deming.
"Kong Deming's signature spirit tool is almost ready," An Zhen said softly.
In less than six months, they covered the ground that would have taken several years to traverse. This also takes into account the time spent handling government affairs, as some important matters were beyond the capacity of their subordinates to handle.
"I literally killed myself over two hundred times. In order to carefully feel the fusion between the Spirit tool and my own Spirit, I mentally and meticulously felt my own collapse many times. Even the slowest torture of having my flesh cut off piece by piece was no more than this."
It's easy to say, but the pain is so intense that an ordinary person would have died from the agony long ago.
You're crazy.
It's not just this one.
This group is full of lunatics.
The various experiments were conducted without any regard for the consequences.
"My life's spirit tool?" This was a term Huo Yutong had never heard before.
"Hmm." An Zhen explained, "Using one's own Spirit to drive the power of heaven and earth, and merging with a powerful Spirit tool, one can imbue inanimate objects with their own spirit, thus creating an unprecedented level ten Spirit tool."
"Level 10... Level 10?!" Huo Yutong was filled with surprise. Level 1 Spirit Tool corresponds to Spirit Master, and Level 9 Spirit Tool corresponds to Titled Douluo. "Then, doesn't that mean he's about to become a god with the help of a Spirit Tool?"
"No." An Zhen shook his head.
"Theoretically speaking, a level 10 Spirit Tool should correspond to a level 10 Spirit Master, which is a level 100 god. However, due to the limitations of the plane, it cannot break through the level 99 limit. It should be said to be an incomplete artifact, equivalent to a semi-divine artifact. In some aspects, it is stronger than a regular Limit Douluo, but it is still below the level of a god."
"However, under the right conditions, such as combining a large amount of energy together, it can reach the level of a god in some aspects of attack or defense."
"Hiss~" Huo Yutong gasped.
Even so, that's still terrifying.
"As I just said, apart from geniuses like us, this era is the era of spirit tools." With a thought, An Zhen displayed the figures of other Ninth-Level Soul Engineers conducting experiments on the screen, including Luan Feng.
"It's not that I think Spirit Master isn't strong."
"This is due to the limitations of the world."
"Spirit Masters find it difficult to become gods, and even their natal spirit tools, which are fused with spirits, are no exception."
"But in some aspects, such as attack, spirit tools can take a different approach and reach the level of gods."
"A level 10 Spirit Tool can't be considered a true divine artifact, but a level 10 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is truly equivalent to a full-force attack from a god."
However, the level 10 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is useless now. Building it would only cause more trouble for me. It can't blow up a God King, but it could completely obliterate him now. Even if I have it, it still makes me a little worried.
Huo Yutong struggled to look away from the screen. Although she couldn't understand the complex core arrays on those spirit tools, they were like perfect works of art to her.
Huo Yutong said softly, "If we don't become gods, we will grow old and die one day, but the Soul Guidance Technology will still exist. Powerful strength brings ambition, and in order to seek its own development, the powerful Empire will eventually swallow up the weak Empire."
"That's what Brother An Zhen meant, right?"
"Yes." An Zhen nodded gently. "This is the trend of the times."
However, not becoming a god doesn't necessarily mean dying of old age.
There's also the option of undead. With a strong mental force and Electrolux, the necromancer, retaining one's intelligence wouldn't be difficult. However, An Zhen felt he probably wouldn't need this backup plan, but it's better to be prepared.
"Conquest and being conquered, behind every war are countless displaced civilians and broken families. The tragedy of a thousand years ago has already happened, but I do not want it to happen again today."
An Zhen disliked war.
The strong may enjoy unparalleled glory in war, but that is a dark age for ordinary people.
Looking into Huo Yutong's eyes, An Zhen said, " I am the Regent of the Sun Moon Empire. Now I am the supreme ruler of the Empire and will succeed as the Sea God Pavilion Master in the future. I hope to promote the Sun Moon Empire and the Original Douluo Three Kingdoms to become one family, rather than let the flames of war complete this integration."
This is one of An Zhen's objectives.
Huo Yutong's eyes revealed a hint of worry, "Many people may not be able to accept this."
It's not just about coexisting peacefully with former enemies, but also about the entanglement of interests among various parties.
An Zhen smiled broadly, his eyes gleaming with confidence. "Those who want to achieve their goals by starting a war are bad people, and power is meant to be used to deal with such villains. For ordinary people, many don't have time to consider matters of national importance; compared to war, they certainly yearn for peace. Even if this generation can't accept it, we can instill this concept in the next generation, and the generation after that."
Huo Yutong gazed at the confident young man, her eyes shining with a lively, admiring light. This was the boy she admired—so grand and ambitious, so full of confidence.
" Yu Tong will be on my side, right?" An Zhen looked at Huo Yu Tong.
"Mm." Huo Yutong nodded seriously.
An Zhen's brother is her family.
" Can Yu Tong forgive me for hiding this from her before?" An Zhen's voice rang out.
Of course, Yu Tong had never been angry with An Zhen. Huo Yu Tong was about to say that.
The next moment, a pair of hands grabbed Huo Yutong's shoulders.
A voice called out to Huo Yutong, "If you don't forgive me and want to report me, I'll have to bully Yutong severely, turn her into my shape, lock her up, and bully her every day until she gets pregnant with my child, so that she can never leave me again."
"Hmm."
A blush crept up Huo Yutong's neck at lightning speed, and the girl's slender legs under her skirt instinctively tightened.
She's pregnant with An Zhen's child?!
This kind of thing...
"Hehe." An Zhen looked at Huo Yutong in his arms. The shy Yutong was so cute.
"That…" A slightly trembling voice came from An Zhen's arms.
Her eyes, once as bright as stars, now seemed to have turned into a pool of spring water. She looked at An Zhen with anticipation and excitement. Huo Yutong's pink and alluring lips parted slightly, " Yutong suddenly feels that she doesn't want to forgive Brother An Zhen."
Come and "bully" me!
