Chapter 299: Five Gods Ascend!
"I beg you..."
Before Tang San's plea for mercy could leave his mouth, Qin Mu's Heaven and Earth Hammer had already crashed down upon him!
With eyes filled with intense resentment,
Tang San plummeted toward the ground.
Due to the shattering of the Asura God Position,
Tang San's Asura divine force vanished along with it!
Tang San's strength rapidly regressed as he fell!
Titled Douluo... Soul Saint... Soul Emperor...
By the time he was less than a Soul Emperor, Tang San finally slammed into the ground!
Blood flowed continuously from Tang San's body, and the eerie phenomena from before were gone.
Qin Mu looked down at Tang San with a piercing gaze.
At this moment, although Tang San was not yet completely dead,
Qin Mu knew well
that Tang San was utterly beyond saving.
The blow just now hadn't killed him instantly,
but every bone in Tang San's body had been shattered by Qin Mu!
At the same time, his soul had suffered a violent strike from Qin Mu!
With a shattered divine soul and a damaged soul,
even if divine force were used for treatment, it would be impossible to save him!
Without the support of the Asura divine force, his body gradually became shriveled.
In the blink of an eye, the once-dignified Tang San had transformed into a frail, withered old man.
With the loss of blood from his body, Tang San would likely depart from this World within a few minutes.
What made Tang San suffer most was that
he clearly knew he was dying,
yet he could say nothing.
He could only let his body grow weaker and weaker, eventually turning into a pile of dry bones!
Without sparing Tang San another glance,
Qin Mu immediately flashed to the side of Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
At this time, the two women had not yet recovered from the shock of Qin Mu's breakthrough.
"Oh, you two seem to be getting along quite well!"
Seeing Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue holding hands, Qin Mu couldn't help but tease them.
Upon hearing this, both their faces flushed simultaneously, and they immediately let go.
An emerald-gold light radiated from the two women.
Qin Mu activated the original Light of the Holy Light Dragon to heal their internal injuries.
Since Qin Mu had become a god, his Martial Soul Abilities had also improved accordingly.
From now on, the Light of the Holy Light Dragon could even heal wounds on a god's body!
Before long, the wounds on the two women were fully healed.
However, the damage to their Divine Armors and the loss of divine force would still take some time to recover.
The two women slowly stood up and, looking at the Qin Mu before them, almost simultaneously rushed forward to embrace him.
Holding Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue in his arms, one on each side, Qin Mu could clearly feel that the two were still a bit awkward.
"Qin Mu!"
A voice approached from the distance; Qin Mu looked over and saw Hu Liena running toward him with Shui Binger.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue hurriedly broke free from Qin Mu's embrace.
After all, they were both prominent figures in Spirit Hall.
Snuggling in Qin Mu's arms like little women—
what would people think if they were seen!
Qin Mu didn't force them into anything.
After all, some things required time to adjust to.
He likewise pulled Hu Liena and Shui Binger into his arms.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's gazes shifted slightly, but they said nothing.
Strictly speaking, Hu Liena and Shui Binger's relationships with Qin Mu predated those of Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
They had no reason to complain.
"How are you? Are you okay?"
Lifting her head from Qin Mu's chest, Hu Liena asked with concern.
"Don't worry, how could anything happen to me?"
Qin Mu smiled and stroked Hu Liena's head, comforting her.
At the same time, Qin Mu also placed a hand on Shui Binger's head.
Failing to treat everyone equally was a major taboo!
Especially in the days to come, he had to be careful!
"Speaking of which, you two should get along well with them from now on."
"After all, we're all one family now!"
Qin Mu gave a mysterious smile and pointed at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who were standing to the side looking somewhat jealous.
"Huh?"
Hearing Qin Mu's words, Hu Liena and Shui Binger didn't quite understand at first.
But seeing the blushes on their faces and reflecting on Qin Mu's words, they gradually realized what he meant.
"Qin Mu, you even... Teacher?"
Hu Liena looked at Bibi Dong and Qin Mu with a look of astonishment.
"Even Miss Qian Renxue..."
The shock on Shui Binger's face was no less than that on Hu Liena's.
"Ahem."
"Anyway, this is the result."
"As for how to accept it and how the four of you will get along..."
"I'll leave the four of you to chat about it in detail!"
Qin Mu gave an awkward laugh.
He could grit his teeth and handle fighting or even administrative affairs.
But for this sort of thing, it was better to let the girls communicate among themselves.
This would make it easier for them to gradually accept one another.
"Qin Mu, don't get cocky!"
"Don't think you've won me over so easily!"
"I said it before—there is still a battle to be fought between us!"
"Until I conquer you!"
Qian Renxue's face was flushed as she glared fiercely at Qin Mu.
On the other side, Bibi Dong didn't say much.
Though her lowered eyes were filled with complex emotions,
being able to be with Qin Mu was already her greatest wish.
"Pope Qin Mu, is the war to continue? What about those disgusting freaks?!"
After a few moments of small talk, a high-ranking official from the Heaven Dou Empire's military stepped forward cautiously to ask.
"Rest assured, everything is over!"
"The culprit is dead!"
"We have won!"
Qin Mu's voice wasn't loud, yet it instantly reached the ears of every soldier.
"Long live Pope Qin Mu!"
"Long live Pope Qin Mu!"
Tens of thousands of people chanted Qin Mu's name in unison.
Perhaps to them, it wasn't clear whether Qin Mu had become a god,
but at this moment,
Qin Mu was the true god in their hearts!
The war was over.
Qin Mu immediately set about arranging the repair work.
The four women were by no means mere window dressing.
Upon receiving Qin Mu's instructions, they immediately took up their respective duties.
Orders were issued in an orderly fashion, and the forces of Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire were all deployed to the task of clearing the battlefield.
Relying on his own immense strength, Qin Mu spent only a day finding most of the survivors of the Star Luo Empire.
The vast majority of these people were villagers from remote areas with low Soul Power.
To Qin Mu's surprise,
the Dai Family, the imperial house of the Star Luo Empire, had been almost entirely wiped out.
However, the Zhu Family, who had long been linked to the Dai Family through marriage, seemed to have sensed Tang San's plot early on.
After sacrificing some of their people,
the survivors of the Zhu Family, including Zhu Zhuqing, had gone into hiding in a remote corner of the Star Luo Empire.
Equally fortunate alongside the Zhu Family was another major clan of the Star Luo Empire, the Xu Family.
Because the Xu Family had always been active on the borders of the Star Luo Empire, Tang San's bloody purge hadn't affected them much.
Thus, Qin Mu immediately proposed
that the head of the Xu Family become the new Emperor of the Star Luo Empire.
The Zhu Family and other powerful families that had survived would serve as support.
Together, they would rebuild the Star Luo Empire.
Regarding Qin Mu's arrangements, Xue Beng said nothing.
Qin Mu naturally had his reasons for doing this.
If the continent were truly left with the Heaven Dou Empire as the sole superpower,
the Empire would likely split or erupt into war again due to internal imbalances.
This was not what Qin Mu wanted to see.
A powerful external threat is what drives a nation's internal stability.
As for Spirit Hall,
although Qin Mu was the Pope, he had no intention of unifying the continent.
He hoped that Spirit Hall could become an independent organization that looked after everyone.
This wish might change with the passage of time,
but everything in the World is always in a state of flux.
No matter how powerful Qin Mu was, he couldn't predict the changes ten thousand years from now.
What he could do was balance the relationship between Spirit Hall and the Two Great Empires as much as possible while he was still the Pope.
...
Several years later.
Tianshan Pass, the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
Under the personal watch of Spirit Hall experts, the border between the Two Great Empires had ushered in a peace not seen for centuries.
Under the governance of the new Emperor, the Star Luo Empire was also gradually flourishing.
After these years of development, the Star Luo Empire's organizational structure had become refined.
In the very center of Spirit City,
a magnificent statue stood tall.
Passersby looked upon the statue with gazes full of awe and reverence.
For the person depicted was the only one in the history of the Douluo Continent to have saved the common people from the depths of misery!
At the same time, he was the most powerful Pope in the history of Spirit Hall!
Qin Mu!
And it wasn't just in Spirit Hall.
After countless petitions to Qin Mu,
many major cities in the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire had also erected statues of him.
AI Model: gemini-3.1-flash-lite
Regarding this, Qin Mu was quite helpless.
Spirit Hall.
In a large, ornate room.
Qin Mu lay comfortably on Bibi Dong's lap, letting her feed him peeled grapes one by one.
Looking at Qin Mu lying on her lap, Bibi Dong's gaze was as gentle as water, as if she were about to drown him in it.
Creak—
The door was pushed open, and Qian Renxue walked in with a cold expression.
"Pope Qin Mu, you really are leisurely!"
"You don't handle so many matters in Spirit Hall, yet you run over here to slack off!"
Qin Mu lifted his eyes to glance at Qian Renxue, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face.
"Didn't I give the position of Pope to Xie Yue?"
"I have already become a god. If it weren't for waiting for Nana and Shui Binger, I would have already taken you all to the God Realm."
"Since we are leaving sooner or later, it's better to hand these troublesome matters over to others early."
As he spoke, Qin Mu opened his mouth again to let Bibi Dong feed him a grape.
Holding the Angelic Sacred Sword, Qian Renxue took a few steps to reach Qin Mu and placed the Angelic Sacred Sword against his neck.
"Since you have nothing to do now."
"Then get up and fight!"
Regarding this, Bibi Dong seemed to be accustomed to it, showing no unusual reaction.
She even peeled a grape and offered it to Qian Renxue.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue's face flushed red. She didn't take it with her hand but leaned forward, preparing to eat it directly.
But Qin Mu snatched the opportunity, grabbing Bibi Dong's wrist and, amidst her doting smile, took the grape into his own mouth.
"You!"
Qian Renxue gritted her silver teeth, her gaze at Qin Mu as if she wanted to swallow him whole.
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll fight, okay!"
"Come to my room tonight, and we'll fight until tomorrow morning!"
"No one is allowed to run away early!"
Qin Mu said, feigning ferocity, and then immediately looked up at Bibi Dong.
"Dong'er, you come too tonight."
Hearing Qin Mu's words, Bibi Dong couldn't help but press her legs together.
But looking into Qin Mu's eyes, Bibi Dong still nodded gently.
"Alright."
Since the war ended, she had never refused any of Qin Mu's requests.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression couldn't help but change.
It wasn't that she hadn't tried fighting Qin Mu for real with blades and spears.
But the gap between the two was unimaginably large.
So Qian Renxue had no choice but to find another way, starting from other angles.
The method of combat changed.
The number of people in the combat also changed.
Even many times, the four women would join forces to fight Qin Mu.
But the final result was still the four women being defeated and returning.
Although they still couldn't gain any advantage in Qin Mu's hands.
But the relationship between the four women had grown much closer.
As everyone knows.
There is no land that is plowed to ruin, only oxen that are worked to death.
This was Qian Renxue's thought.
As long as she persisted and pestered Qin Mu to fight every day.
One day, she would achieve her goal and make Qin Mu surrender.
It was just a pity.
Ever since Qin Mu became a god, the Light of the Holy Light Dragon had also completed its transformation.
The mere consumption every night was not even worth mentioning to Qin Mu.
It could even be said.
The current Qin Mu was simply a perpetual motion machine!
Even if Qian Renxue were worked to death, it would be impossible to make Qin Mu lose.
"By the way, Nana and Shui Binger's Divine Trials have also reached the eighth trial."
"Do you want to look after them?"
Qian Renxue sat beside Qin Mu and said.
"Are you that worried about the two of them?"
"In truth, their talent is not much weaker than yours."
"Rest assured, one is the Charming God Divine Trial, the other is the Water God Divine Trial, how could they be stumped by them?"
Qin Mu sat up from Bibi Dong's embrace, and while Qian Renxue was thinking, he scooped her up.
"Instead of having time to worry about them, you should worry more about yourself!"
"Let's go, Dong'er!"
With Qian Renxue's pretty face turning red, Qin Mu pulled Bibi Dong into the inner chamber.
An incessant battle was about to begin.
Another year passed.
A pink beam and a blue beam of light shot up into the sky from deep within Spirit Hall.
Ling Yuan, sitting inside the Enshrinement Hall, looked at these two beams of light with immense envy.
After years of effort, she finally broke through the threshold of level 97.
And logically became a member of the Enshrinement Hall.
But the distance to becoming a god was still far off.
The fire in her heart gradually extinguished, but then it was suddenly ignited by something again.
"I don't believe it!"
"Since they can succeed."
"Then I can too!"
Ling Yuan's gaze was like a torch, and an emotion called unwillingness in her heart made every cell in her body pulse.
"Everyone."
"Then let's meet in the God Realm!"
The Far North.
The Snow Empress held half a piece of whale glue, her gaze looking deeply in a certain direction.
Over these years, Qin Mu had come more than once.
His companionship made the Snow Empress's lonely heart restless.
She knew very well.
Even if Qin Mu possessed a long lifespan like her, he would not stay by her side forever.
The Douluo Continent was not Qin Mu's destination!
Thinking about never seeing Qin Mu again.
This feeling of loss gave the Snow Empress a sense of fear for the first time.
This emotion spurred her forward.
She hoped to meet Qin Mu again one day.
At that time, she could say.
"I am the Ice Sky Snow Woman!"
Just like when they first met.
The highest point of Spirit City.
Qin Mu stood imposingly at the very front.
Behind him.
Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Shui Binger followed right behind him.
Before coming here, the five of them had traveled the entire continent.
Looking at the scene before them, everyone felt a trace of reluctance in their hearts.
They were about to leave their homeland and go to an unfamiliar World.
Soon, Qin Mu was the first to compose himself.
He looked up at the sky, and a cold smile appeared on his originally gentle face.
"Heh."
"Some things should also have an ending!"
Behind Qin Mu, Bibi Dong and the other three placed their hands on Qin Mu's back one by one.
"Since everyone is ready."
"Then let's go!"
"Target, the God Realm!"
Many years later.
Spirit City.
A man with graying temples came to Qin Mu's statue.
Looking at the statue before him, a proud smile emerged on the man's face.
"Yo, Uncle Tai, you've come again today!"
An Elder of Spirit Hall greeted Uncle Tai enthusiastically upon seeing him.
"Heh, it's nothing, you all go about your business."
Uncle Tai responded with a smile and sat down on the seat next to the statue.
"Who is that Uncle Tai? How can he make the Azure Wolf Douluo take the initiative to greet him?"
Near the statue, a young deacon of Spirit Hall pulled another deacon and asked.
"You don't even know him? You must be new! Uncle Tai once had the grace of raising Lord Qin Mu!"
"It can be said that without his care, perhaps Lord Qin Mu wouldn't be where he is today!"
"Don't look at the fact that he just broke through to Soul Douluo; in terms of status, even some Titled Douluo Elders cannot compare!"
Upon hearing this, the young deacon immediately showed an expression of surprise.
"Offense, offense, I hope Uncle Tai is magnanimous..."
"You can rest assured about that; Uncle Tai generally doesn't care about these things. Besides, Uncle Tai probably can't hear..."
The two deacons walked away while talking.
Uncle Tai just looked at the statue quietly, recalling the young man in his memories.
"Grandpa Tai~"
A milky voice sounded, and the smile on Uncle Tai's face immediately turned into tenderness.
A little girl of about six years old appeared before Uncle Tai, excitedly holding up the hammer in her hand.
"Grandpa Tai, I awakened my Martial Soul today! My innate Soul Power is level nine!"
"Do you think I have a chance to become a god-level powerhouse like Lord Qin Mu?"
Uncle Tai chuckled and pinched the little girl's nose.
"Yes! Of course!"
"After Qin Mu entered the God Realm, he opened the passage between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent."
"As long as someone can break through to level 100, they can ascend and become a god!"
"Moreover, he also left behind information about becoming a god and cultivation methods for becoming a god in Spirit Hall."
"Over the years, although no one has truly become a god, everyone's Soul Power has increased quite a bit!"
As he spoke, a beam of light shot straight into the sky from the horizon!
"Look!"
"Someone has indeed become a god!"
THANKS FOR ALL THE LOVE
