Watching the Angel God, who had gained some understanding after his stern admonishment, Ye Wen did not rush her. Instead, he let her quietly reflect on her inner self.
After a long while, the Angel God slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have realized that subconsciously, I considered the Spirit Beast race as enemies," the Angel God said respectfully.
Ye Wen nodded and then poured another cup of fresh milk tea for the Angel God, saying indifferently,
"One should not harbor ill intentions, but one must also be cautious. Humans are complex in mind, and although Spirit Beasts are simple-minded, there will always be a few anomalies.
So when necessary, you must take precautions. However, remember to always maintain moderation and ensure that those below you are convinced and respect you. Otherwise, you will eventually face the backlash of power."
This time, the Angel God firmly remembered Ye Wen's teachings and no longer overlooked the essence of the experience Ye Wen imparted.
Through a series of inquiries and responses, the Angel God gained more clarity about her leadership responsibilities, and her eyes reflected a previously unseen clarity.
This discussion continued until dawn, and Ye Wen looked at the Angel God with satisfaction.
"As long as you memorize the knowledge points I taught you, in the future, unless you encounter an extraordinarily powerful enemy, Douluo civilization will develop without worry and will surely surpass the former Dragon God domain.
However, you probably already know the limitations of your divine position. If you want to break through to my level without external help, it will take a very long time.
Now that you are considered half my disciple, I might as well give you a hand.
Now, open up your divine position."
The Angel God was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then quickly reacted, hurriedly extracting her divine position from within and granting Ye Wen access.
In this era where divine position sharing technology had not yet developed, every god's divine position was closely tied to their life. Normally, they would not show it off to outsiders, much less reveal the mysteries of its laws.
Thus, the Angel God instinctively paused for a moment. But recalling Ye Wen's immense power, she couldn't help but laugh at her own caution.
After all, how could the high and mighty emperor covet the trifling possessions of commoners?
Ye Wen raised his hand lightly, and a divine power exuding extreme sacredness gathered in his hand. Then, as if endowed with sentience, it rushed directly toward the Angel God's divine position.
Angels, as servants of God, can indeed break through to the God King level, but their inherent nature dictates that they cannot ascend to become Kings of God Kings.
Nevertheless, in Ye Wen's world, the angelic divine position is still the primary choice for many holy attribute soul masters seeking divinity.
There are two main reasons for this.
First, the holy attribute is easy to comprehend but falls into the category of being easy to learn but difficult to master. Only by maintaining a high degree of purity and flawlessness in one's spirit can one make significant progress. Otherwise, ordinary people reaching the second-rank god level is already their limit, and first-rank gods are rare.
After all, while soul power and divine power are relatively easy to cultivate, complex beings like humans often succumb to their psychological issues.
The second reason is simple. In Ye Wen's world, every god knows that after reaching the God King stage, relying solely on a single law makes progression difficult; one needs to fuse multiple laws to break through to higher levels.
Thus, the angelic divine position, which has low requirements for mentality due to its servant nature and inherently possesses multiple laws such as holiness, flame, justice, and judgment, naturally became the preferred choice for holy attribute soul masters.
(A/N: Qian Renxue obviously had psychological defects when she became a god, yet she succeeded.)
Even two of Ye Wen's wives, Qian Renxue and Qian Qian, and his two daughters, Ye Tian Ling and Ye Tian Guang, ascended to godhood through the angelic divine position.
With even the family of their superiors following this path to godhood, lower-level holy soul masters naturally followed suit without hesitation.
Due to the shared divine position system, although the angelic divine position has significant limitations, through the efforts of numerous holy attribute soul masters over the years, the laws of the angelic divine position have now been extended to the Supreme God King level.
However, thanks to Ye Wen's guidance, Qian Renxue and Qian Qian, who reached the Supreme God King level, are no longer called Angel Gods. They have completely shed the shackles of being messengers and become the masters of the angelic laws, also known as Holy Masters.
And now, Ye Wen's gift to the Angel God was the complete set of Holy Master laws.
As increasingly profound and grand laws entered her divine position, the Angel God's eyes emitted an unprecedented divine light. Eventually, the Angel God disappeared from Ye Wen's sight, countless feathers of light enveloping her and transforming her into a cocoon of light.
Seeing this, Ye Wen shook his head helplessly and muttered discontentedly, "Really, when breaking through, everyone just focuses on their heads and forgets everything else. This is my house. Can't you find another place to break through? With such a commotion, how are the people in my house supposed to sleep?"
While speaking, Ye Wen cast a binding spell around the Angel God, tightly confining the anomalies caused by her breakthrough.
After finishing everything, Ye Wen, feeling a bit sleepy, stood up and stretched, his bones cracking and popping.
But as Ye Wen was about to return to his warm haven, he suddenly paused, his face showing a strange expression, thinking inwardly,
"Seriously, just after enjoying a bit, one after another comes knocking. Don't they let a person rest properly?"
However, thinking of the identity of the visitor, Ye Wen found it impossible to refuse and reluctantly sat back down, addressing the empty space nearby,
"Come out. There's no need to hide. Do you still think of yourself as that little Phantom Spirit Cat? Now your presence is so domineering that you can't hide from me."
The next moment, Zhu Zhuqing somewhat awkwardly emerged from the shadows. Just as Zhu Zhuqing intended to kneel and apologize for her unannounced arrival, Ye Wen gently waved his divine power, preventing her from kneeling.
Ye Wen said softly, "There is no need for such formalities between us. Be casual, like an old friend. Come, sit. Let me pour you a cup of milk tea."
Saying this, Ye Wen skillfully prepared a fragrant cup of milk tea for Zhu Zhuqing and handed it to her.
Although Ye Wen spoke casually, Zhu Zhuqing remained restrained. Nevertheless, she obediently took a sip of the milk tea. After all, whether a Phantom Spirit Cat or a White Tiger, they're cats, and liking milk is normal.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing relax slightly after drinking the milk tea, Ye Wen asked, "You wouldn't come to me without a reason. Are you encountering some difficulties, Zhu Zhuqing ? If there's anything I can help with, I'll definitely assist you."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing 's expression froze for a moment. She saw Qian Renxue being lectured for an entire night before receiving Ye Wen's teachings. Why did she receive such favorable treatment upon arriving?
Could it be... he likes me too?
Just as this ambiguous thought surfaced in Zhu Zhuqing 's mind, she quickly shook her head and dismissed such impractical notions.
The weak Zhu Zhuqing of the past might have prostrated herself before Ye Wen's strength and sought his help at the cost of herself.
However, both her martial soul's transformation and nearly a century of cultivation had thoroughly changed Zhu Zhuqing 's mentality.
She was no longer the girl obsessed with trivial love affairs but had become the White Tiger Goddess wielding unparalleled killing power.
Nonetheless, regarding Ye Wen's appearance and character, Zhu Zhuqing still harbored deep admiration. If possible, she wouldn't mind becoming Ye Wen's wife.
But after so many years, Ye Wen himself showed no such intention. Moreover, with Ye Wen having so many wives, Zhu Zhuqing somewhat understood that Ye Wen wasn't the type to fall in love with anyone he met. Although her fondness for him grew, she knew she probably wouldn't have a chance in this lifetime.
After berating herself mentally, Zhu Zhuqing finally said to Ye Wen, "It's like this, Master. I've encountered a bottleneck in my recent cultivation, so I wanted to ask you some questions about cultivation."
Ye Wen was not surprised by this. Just as Zhu Zhuqing didn't have any romantic thoughts, neither did he. When Zhu Zhuqing was weak and wanted to be Ye Wen's loyal follower, Ye Wen never took it to heart.
Because Ye Wen knew that the young woman before him would risk her life to seize any opportunity given.
Although the White Tiger path was not Ye Wen's main focus, his foundation as a King of God Kings allowed him to easily understand the intricacies of the White Tiger laws. Thus, he began to lecture Zhu Zhuqing .
This lecture lasted for a day and a night. Zhu Zhuqing was still the same diligent and hardworking person she was in her youth, treating every word Ye Wen said as gospel truth and firmly committing it to memory.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing , who had similarly fallen into a state of enlightenment and whose God King aura had become increasingly stable, Ye Wen nodded in satisfaction.
Although due to over-acceleration, Zhu Zhuqing was still at the initial stage of God King after a hundred years, Ye Wen could see that Zhu Zhuqing had stabilized her aura at the God King level through her own efforts, without any sense of instability. It was evident that for the past hundred years, she had devoted herself entirely to cultivation without distractions.
As for the other three members of the Four Divine Beasts...
Tian Qing, as Ye Wen expected, broke through the egg's constraints and his strength soared to the Supreme God King level, possessing power comparable to several of the strongest dragon kings among the nine major dragon kings of the past.
Moreover, Tian Qing's temperament remained as gentle as ever, content with guarding his small territory in the East Heaven.
However, Ye Wen furrowed his brows.
Because there were "petty people" around Tian Qing!
After Ye Wen captured and refined the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian was frantic like an ant on a hot pan, completely panicked. In his view, the true unification of the Spirit Beast race still relied on his Silver Dragon King, but such a large Silver Dragon King was lost! This made him extremely worried about the future of the Spirit Beast race.
Di Tian: Where is my great king (T_T)! Please stop hiding my king! Without you, I'll die!
Although Di Tian was flying around looking for someone, with the presence of divine-level powerhouses like the Angel God, Ye Wen was not concerned about him causing trouble. Plus, being a significant figure among the Spirit Beast race, Ye Wen didn't want to kill him arbitrarily. So, he allowed Di Tian to temporarily remain on Douluo Planet.
Then, the scene of the Dragon God's sacrifice appeared.
Initially, Di Tian was confused. Wasn't it agreed that when the Dragon God falls, the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings emerge? How did the Dragon God suddenly reappear and decide to sacrifice?
But Di Tian quickly became enraged.
Di Tian thought the Dragon God returned to look for the Silver Dragon King, only to be confronted with a shocking reality.
He couldn't find the Silver Dragon King, and his former superior in the dragon race directly sacrificed himself.
The sacrifice itself was tolerable, but the Dragon God didn't sacrifice to the Silver Dragon King or to him, the once-promising descendant taught the Dragon Claw. Instead, half of the Dragon God's essence nourished the billions of lives on Douluo Planet.
Although Di Tian received some benefits and repaired some old injuries,
the fact that his divine position was shattered for the Dragon God left him dissatisfied with such minimal returns!
What upset Di Tian the most was that the remaining half of the Dragon God's essence was fully absorbed by Tian Qing.
Di Tian: What gives this mongrel the right!
Yes, even though Tian Qing's strength had already reached the God King level and transformed into a Azure Dragon body, in Di Tian's eyes, dragons born from hybrid bloodlines were considered extremely lowly and unworthy of his attention, once assigned to guard gates.
What people referred to as the Emperor of the Star Forest sounded good to ordinary humans, but in Di Tian's eyes, Tian Qing's status was lower than that of a regular true dragon.
But in Di Tian's theory of bloodline supremacy, the Dragon God ultimately chose Tian Qing instead of him, the pure-blooded Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, for unknown reasons. How could he accept this!
Immediately, Di Tian wanted to confront Tian Qing with accusations.
However, it was obvious that Di Tian couldn't even break through the outermost defense and was stopped by Zhu Zhuqing and others, since Ye Wen had appointed them as guardians.
Given Di Tian's special identity, Zhu Zhuqing and others merely detained him rather than executing him.
Over time, things evolved to this state. Now, Di Tian was completely subdued by Tian Qing's bloodline power, lacking the courage to look Tian Qing in the eye directly. He even fantasized about offering himself to Tian Qing if he were female.
Ye Wen: …
Sometimes, speechlessness really leaves one speechless.
Reflecting on this, Ye Wen sighed, "This is the downfall of those who prioritize bloodlines. Glory and power come from bloodlines, and so does humility and weakness."
If Di Tian had simply remained a loyal subordinate to Tian Qing, Ye Wen wouldn't have interfered. But after overhearing for a bit, his expression darkened.
No need to elaborate further; Di Tian's single sentence ignited Ye Wen's intent to kill.
Di Tian: "Master, with your current strength and prestige, why not overthrow that bird and rule Douluo Planet yourself? Then we can restore the former glory of the Dragon God. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
