The moonlight streaming down from the sky shone into the huge crater. Qian Yuelong, surrounded by a white halo, closed her eyes as if she were in a deep sleep, her expression serene and without the slightest sign of pain.

However, her delicate face was shrouded in an inorganic light, which completely erased her childishness. She wore clothes and accessories that they had never seen before.

A silver-blue phoenix crown, adorned with pearl hairpins intertwined and arranged on either side, gently pressing down on her loose hair. White silver tassels, hanging from the tips of her wings, dangled feathers and brushed against her temples.

Like flowing moonlight, her slightly curled, silvery-white hair was enveloped in a halo, dancing in the void.

Intricate and delicate dark patterns are engraved on soft, moon-white silk, like the hazy moonlight scattered on the sea. Misty blue cloud patterns adorn the misty skirt. Bathed in the serene moonlight, the heavenly robe shimmers with light, untouched by a speck of dust. Even the moon pales in comparison to the sleeping goddess.

"Something's not right. I can't see through her current cultivation level, nor can I sense her life signs. Is she really Qian Yuelong?" Could she just be someone who looks like her?

The ghost, who had only met Qian Yuelong a few times and had not had much contact with her, murmured to herself.

One sentence drew Yue Guan's sidelong glance.

He said with a straight face and certainty, "She is."

Is it incredible that a Soul Master can control a materialized domain?

The domain's range is unusually powerful, far exceeding what a Soul Venerable's cultivation level should be.

A Soul Master who can control Soul Kings and Soul Emperors with superior mental abilities?

All the irrationality seemed to make sense when applied to this unjustly conceived disciple.

Although Qian Yuelong was his personal disciple, Yue Guan never forgot the title of "Divine Child" above Qian Yuelong's head.

There is no such thing as reincarnation in Douluo Continent; there are only two kinds: those who are completely dead and those who are not completely dead.

But at this moment, Yue Guan truly doubted whether his disciple was even a real human being.

Could it be that she really is the illegitimate daughter of an angel, sent down to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation?

She has way too many secrets.

Despite my inner grumbling, I still need to protect Yue Guan.

"I thought it was really the work of some powerful Soul Master." Yue Guan sighed dramatically, looked at Bibi Dong with an inscrutable expression, and said seriously, "Your Holiness, it seems we've made a wasted trip. Yue Long must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter during her cultivation and obtained this materializable domain."

As for the strangeness of Qian Yuelong's clothes?

Sorry, he selectively ignores it.

“She should still be adjusting to this newly acquired domain. I think it will be removed once Yuelong wakes up.” Yue Guan said half-jokingly, bowing slightly to Bibi Dong, and advised, “However, before entering school, her soul power cultivation had already reached level 38, and I haven’t heard of her class’s instructor organizing any hunting ring operations these past few days, so she must still be at the Soul Venerable level. I think it’s best to keep the news about the domain a secret.”

His thought was that it would be better for the little girl to keep her identity a secret until she reached the Soul King.

Ghost couldn't help but glance at his old partner.

That glance was filled with a sense of déjà vu.

Yue Guan turned a blind eye.

Anyway, Lao Gui wouldn't undermine him.

Bibi Dong's eyes flickered as she looked at Qian Yuelong, who was floating at the bottom of the pit. She exhaled a long breath and said, "Yuelong's domain cannot be kept secret from outsiders forever. This time, the commotion was so great that almost all the teachers and students of the academy saw it. We can't silence the gossip. It would be better to make the information semi-public and say that a Soul Master from the academy accidentally had an epiphany about his domain during cultivation, which caused such a big commotion."

Obscuring the protagonist's identity is enough to cover up many things.

Just like them, following conventional thinking, they would guess which newly promoted Title Douluo or Soul Douluo level Soul Master was the culprit, rather than guessing that it was one of the students in the academy.

but

Well, how should I put it?

This long-lost feeling of mental exhaustion.

Bibi Dong gazed intently at Qian Yuelong, who had stirred up this uproar but was sound asleep.

On her way here, she prepared at least five schemes of coercion and enticement.

However, all her pent-up ideas vanished the moment she saw Qian Yuelong, leaving her with a kind of unsettling, involuntary heart attack.

It's like you've got your eye on a new toy, but it turns out someone else has already bought it. Now it's just being displayed, with no intention of selling it at all.

Yue Guan, who also understood this point, nodded in agreement and complimented, "Your Holiness the Pope is very thoughtful."

The ghost looked around, and the boundless whiteness that met its eyes inexplicably stung them.

The ghost, accustomed to shadows and darkness, felt somewhat uneasy and frowned, saying, "So, are we just going to wait here like this?"

Just as Bibi Dong was about to speak, her gaze suddenly sharpened, and she looked down at the bottom of the pit.

Gui Mei and Yue Guan looked down following Bibi Dong's gaze.

The halo of light flowing in the air seemed to become even denser.

The diffused, hazy light emanated from the sleeping Qian Yuelong, forming dense concentric circles.

At first glance, it looks like a bright white moon, slowly rising.

The little goddess, who had been sleeping in the center of the light, trembled her curled eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes, awakening from her slumber.

It was as if the epic tales of the gods, passed down in ancient ballads, had come to life before my eyes.

Those frosty white eyes, shimmering with a vast, divine aura, seemed to glance at them unintentionally as they stood at the edge of the pit.

The moment their eyes met, the three of them trembled, their breath caught in their throats, and their souls seemed to be pierced by the gaze. White crystals condensed at their feet, gradually freezing their souls. They didn't even realize when the transparent moonlight appeared beside them, its sharp rays cutting into the backs of their hands.

—Through blood as a medium, we glimpse destiny.

Deep within his frosty pupils, the torrent of fate churned into a dense mist of light, overturning and painting over all the reflected scenes into the unknown.

The ghostly figure, clad in black armor, bowed respectfully to the silhouetted figure standing against the light ahead, followed by several paladin knights in mithril armor, wielding steel spears.

On the war-torn plains, every step away lay a charred or grotesque corpse.

Half of his body was covered in blood, and he was covered in wounds. His body was enveloped in a dark blood-red light. He held up the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in his Martial Soul True Form in his hand. The soft yellow petals were gradually dyed into an ominous blood red. He kept coughing up blood essence, and more and more blood kept overflowing from his body, turning him into a blood-soaked man.

Several other figures enveloped in immense soul power rushed towards Yue Guan. One of them wielded a massive, black hammer disproportionate to his body, and together with three other unfamiliar soul masters who had arrived, they slammed it down heavily on Yue Guan.

But their intervention seemed to be a step too late.

She saw the madness of a desperate gamble and the satisfaction of a successful revenge on Yue Guan's face, stained with crimson blood. In the instant the crimson light exploded, his eyes revealed a deep sorrow.

Holding a purple-gold scepter, her magnificent robes deepened, and her beauty even more radiant than before, Bibi Dong stood atop the towering city wall, her gaze fixed intently on the colossal waves that threatened to engulf her.

She saw the fleeting future of the three of them.

—A side note—

[Sigh] My best friend recommended Code Name: Kite to me while I was eating yesterday, and then... I couldn't get out of it. Waaah, what's with the double update? The game is so much fun, waaaah.
