Of course, Ye Xishui was no fool. She knew in her heart that she couldn't be sure if she could contend with a half-crippled god, even if the opponent was severely injured. It was even more impossible if the opponent recovered to their peak state. Therefore, she and Long Xiaoyao always maintained a certain degree of caution in their research of the black-haired woman's divine power. They only made a rough exploration and did not do anything too outrageous. After all, if they were to accidentally anger this god, their life-saving grace would instantly turn into an irreconcilable feud, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Soon, as the life force of the thousand-year soul beast next to her was gradually drained, its body slowly turned into a pile of white bones. At the same time, the black-haired woman lying on the stone platform slowly opened her eyes.
Her brown eyes were now filled with confusion and emptiness. Her gaze was shifting, as if she had lost her way. She first slowly turned her head and looked around, carefully examining her completely unfamiliar surroundings, a hint of terror and unease in her eyes. Then, her gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao. With deep confusion, she asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Where am I? Who am I? And who are you?"
Hearing the black-haired woman's series of questions, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao subconsciously looked at each other, and a hint of unconcealed shock flashed in both of their eyes.
"You don't remember who you are?" Huo Yuhao was also full of surprise and couldn't help but ask.
The black-haired woman clutched her forehead, her brows furrowed. Her expression became even more confused, and she muttered to herself, "I don't know. I don't remember anything. Do you know who I am?"
"Your name is Xiao Mei. He is your husband, Huo Yuhao. We are your master and mistress. You were seriously injured before and hurt your head, so you must have amnesia." Ye Xishui's eyes narrowed slightly, completely ignoring the equally shocked Long Xiaoyao and Huo Yuhao. She quickly calculated in her mind and tentatively spoke.
"My name is Xiao Mei? I have amnesia? Are you really my husband?" The black-haired woman looked at Huo Yuhao blankly, her eyes filled with helplessness and confusion, like a lost lamb in the dark, desperate for something to rely on.
"I!" The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, his heart filled with helplessness. But under Ye Xishui's icy gaze, as if an invisible pressure was forcing him, he finally slowly nodded.
Ye Xishui obviously wanted to take advantage of this perfect opportunity of a heavily injured god's amnesia to gain benefits from her, which was why she was lying to her. Long Xiaoyao also twitched the corner of his eye when he saw this, but out of his unconditional support for Ye Xishui, he chose to remain silent. No matter what Ye Xishui wanted to do, he would follow without hesitation, even if it meant risking a god's anger. If she were to regain her memory and become enraged, she might kill all of them.
Ye Xishui was undoubtedly an extremely bold lunatic, daring to joke with everyone's lives. However, this time, she gambled correctly. The amnesiac black-haired woman actually believed Ye Xishui's words and truly believed that her name was Xiao Mei and that Huo Yuhao was her husband.
The reason Ye Xishui did this was that she wanted to keep Xiao Mei in the Holy Spirit Church. After all, if she used force against a half-crippled god, it might provoke a strong backlash, and she wasn't sure if she could suppress her. But Xiao Mei's amnesia was exactly what Ye Xishui wanted.
Seeing that Xiao Mei believed her words and even threw herself into Huo Yuhao's arms, Ye Xishui's eyes narrowed, and a new plan quickly formed in her mind. It seemed that she had to find a way to treat Huo Yuhao's hidden illness as soon as possible. If this god could give birth to Huo Yuhao's child, it would undoubtedly be a great thing. With Huo Yuhao's talent and the bloodline of this goddess, she wondered how powerful their child's talent would be. This way, the Holy Spirit Church's long-held wish to rule the Douluo Continent might finally have hope of being realized.
Moreover, with a child as a bond, even if this goddess regained her memory, the deed would already be done. As the saying goes, even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs, so she probably wouldn't harm her own child. Ye Xishui, who was also a mother, believed this deeply. Furthermore, fooling Xiao Mei would also make it easier for her and Long Xiaoyao to further study the mysteries of a god. As long as one of them could successfully become a god before Xiao Mei regained her memory, they would no longer have to worry about a potential backlash in the future.
Just like that, the young Huo Yuhao, who was not yet a man, inexplicably gained a goddess wife.
"Pfft!" Lu Jingming couldn't hold it in and spat out the black tea he was drinking. Herta calmly extended her finger, and a faint glow instantly appeared, perfectly blocking the tea that was spraying toward her.
At this moment, the two of them were looking at the scene displayed in Herta's mirror, and the corresponding sounds were coming from it. Lu Jingming couldn't help but lose his composure as he watched.
Herta, who possessed the Key of a Thousand Realms, could detect even the slightest changes in space. Not long ago, a spatial crack briefly appeared on the Douluo Continent, and Herta sensed the anomaly immediately. Herta quickly recognized the person who fell out of the spatial crack. It was Xiao Wu, who had been sent into a black hole while blocking Ma Hongjun's sneak attack for Sea God Tang San in the Divine Realm.
Herta had originally thought that Xiao Wu would be completely destroyed after falling into the black hole. After all, only God-King level powerhouses could survive in the terrifying environment of a black hole for a short time, and Xiao Wu clearly didn't have that ability. But now it seemed that Xiao Wu was incredibly lucky. She didn't fall into the black hole. Instead, she was mistakenly swept into the Douluo Continent by the spatial turbulence.
So, Herta immediately notified Lu Jingming, who witnessed the entire process of Huo Yuhao picking up Xiao Wu and bringing her back to the Holy Spirit Church's headquarters. At the same time, he also witnessed Ye Xishui's jaw-dropping trick of fooling Xiao Wu into becoming Huo Yuhao's wife.
My goodness, this plot development was too bizarre. The mother-in-law suddenly became the wife, and the son-in-law became the husband. The direction of events was simply beyond imagination, and Lu Jingming didn't even know where to begin complaining. It made him almost wonder if Aha had snuck in to cause trouble. Otherwise, how could such a coincidental and dramatic event happen?
"Herta, I don't remember summoning the Trailblazer or any other Masked Fools. Aha wouldn't have come over, right?" Lu Jingming looked at Herta with a strange expression, his eyes filled with a hint of doubt and teasing.
Herta responded calmly, "You know best yourself. And don't you also love watching this kind of drama?"
"You're right. This is truly hilarious!" A gleeful smile appeared on Lu Jingming's face. He thought to himself, when the situation in the Divine Realm settles down and Tang San has time to look for Xiao Wu, and he finds that Xiao Wu has married someone else and might even have a child, he wondered if Tang San would collapse on the spot.
What's more, this "someone else" was the Huo Yuhao he had originally chosen to be his son-in-law and wanted to take under his wing as a dog. Just thinking about the magnificent expression on Tang San's face made Lu Jingming eagerly anticipate it. That scene would be so much fun. The only pity was that Huo Yuhao had a hidden illness and was weak in that regard. Now, it was up to Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao to find a way to solve this problem.
"You've had your fun. Are you ready?" Herta rolled her eyes a little helplessly. She really had no interest in these things. She gently waved her hand, and the scene on Herta's mirror instantly went dark.
"I've been ready for a long time. I've just been waiting for you to make your move!" Lu Jingming quickly recovered from his gleeful state and, with a serious expression, took out the Holy Grail that the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and he had carefully modified and handed it to Herta. Only Herta had the ability to successfully inject the rules of the Holy Grail War and the Holy Grail itself into the planet, thereby officially starting the Holy Grail War on this Douluo Star.
This Holy Grail War would not only select a new Sea God but also purify the negative energy that had accumulated on the planet. As Herta began to cast her spell, the will of the entire planet seemed to be instantly activated and became more active.
The rules of the Holy Grail War were like invisible threads, woven quickly and accurately into the rules of the world, and the Holy Grail was firmly embedded within the planet. At the same time, a piece of information was transmitted in an indescribable way to the minds of every Titled Douluo on the entire Douluo Continent. This was the detailed information about the Holy Grail War.
At Shrek Academy, when Xuan Zi received this inexplicable information, his expression instantly became serious. He immediately decided to hold a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion.
"You should have all received that message. The Holy Grail War. The winner will inherit the Sea God's divine position," Xuan Zi said with a serious expression and a low voice from the main seat of the Sea God Pavilion.
"Elder Xuan, what's going on? Is this our ancestor, the Sea God, wanting to pass down his divine position?" Yan Shaozhe's eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation. After all, it had been ten thousand years since anyone had become a god on the Douluo Continent. Now, a Holy Grail War suddenly appeared, and the winner could inherit the Sea God's divine position. This made him think of the legendary divine trials. Could this so-called Holy Grail War be a divine trial specially arranged by the Sea God?
"I don't know. The Golden Tree hasn't responded, and the academy hasn't received any divine edicts from the Sea God." Xuan Zi slowly shook his head, his heart also filled with confusion. Logically, their Shrek Academy had always been the most devout followers of the Sea God. If the Sea God wanted to pass down his divine position, there was no reason not to notify their academy, right? The fact was that their Shrek Academy hadn't received any news in advance.
