"Everything I said is true!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's voice echoed throughout the Elder Palace, filled with urgency and anger.
He swept his gaze across the Titled Douluo seated around the round table—yet all he saw were faces full of disbelief, mockery, and amusement.
"Yue Guan, are you messing with us?"
Devil Bear Douluo shook his head and chuckled, his rugged face full of disdain.
"A young man in his early twenties, able to suppress you, a level 95 Super Douluo, to the point where you couldn't even release your Spirit?"
"And magical food that increases spirit power on the spot?"
Ghost Leopard Douluo added, "Old Juhua, did you drink too much last night? Or were you charmed by some young girl?"
"Hahahaha!"
Laughter erupted throughout the chamber.
Titled Douluo—beings who normally carried the sky above their heads—naturally couldn't believe such absurd claims.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's face darkened, his charming features flushing with fury.
"You… you bunch of old fossils!"
He shot to his feet, orchid finger trembling as he pointed at them.
"When have I, Chrysanthemum Douluo, ever lied? Would I joke about something like this?!"
"Yue Guan, calm down first. Tell us, what is that young man's background?"
Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, shrouded in black mist, tried to comfort him.
As Chrysanthemum Douluo's old partner, he knew Yue Guan well.
This guy could be unreliable and dramatic, yes.
But lie? Rarely.
And certainly not in such a serious setting.
Chrysanthemum Douluo gritted his teeth.
"I… I don't know his exact origin."
"But what I can confirm is—Senior Lin is absolutely not ordinary!"
"His strength is unfathomable, at least at the level of a level 99 Super Douluo!"
"Maybe… maybe he's already become a god!"
The Elder Palace instantly fell silent.
Become a god?
These two words were nearly mythological on the Douluo Continent.
Aside from the Sea God of Sea God Island and the Angel God worshipped by Spirit Hall, who else could truly reach godhood?
"Juhua, are you sure you weren't dreaming?"
A cold voice came from the direction of the Hall of Worship seats—full of sarcasm.
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked over.
Among the seven luxurious seats, only one person sat at the end.
Demon Subduing Douluo, the sole Worshipper present.
The fact that he even appeared was already considered giving face.
After all, the Hall of Worship outranked the Elder Palace.
Especially after Bibi Dong took power, relations between the two factions had practically frozen.
If the Supreme Pontiff herself had called this meeting, perhaps all the old monsters from the Hall of Worship would have shown up.
But Chrysanthemum Douluo?
A mere level 95 Elder?
For the Worshippers, who were often level 96+, his strength was barely qualified to speak in front of them.
The difference between 95 and 96 might be "one level" on paper—but the gap was greater than that between Spirit Douluo and Titled Douluo.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had been stuck at 95 for over ten years.
Many people spent their whole lives failing to break through.
So, having Demon Subduing Douluo present at all was already an act of "unity."
"Juhua, oh Juhua…"
Demon Subduing Douluo shook his head, voice dripping with disbelief.
"What's wrong with you? Did some little girl confuse your mind yesterday?"
"Or are you starting to hallucinate at your age?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's face instantly turned ashen.
He clenched his fists, glaring furiously.
"Demon Subduing Worshipper! What is the meaning of your words?!"
"What else could I mean?"
Demon Subduing Douluo stood slowly, brushing imaginary dust from his robes.
"I simply don't wish to waste time listening to your nonsense."
"Instead of dreaming here, go cultivate properly."
"Try breaking through to level 96 instead of being stuck at 95 forever!"
His words were like knives stabbing directly into Chrysanthemum Douluo's heart.
Level 96?
If he had obtained the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum…
He might already be pushing level 97!
After finishing, Demon Subduing Douluo ignored the ugly expression on Chrysanthemum Douluo's face and strode out.
Chrysanthemum Douluo gritted his teeth, then turned to the remaining Elders.
"You all! Do you really not believe a single word I said?!"
Unfortunately, silence answered him.
Their expressions made it clear: they didn't believe him at all.
"Fine! If you don't believe me, so be it! Don't go to Senior Lin's place to eat then! Hmph!"
He snorted coldly and stormed out.
The moment he turned the corner—
BANG!
Behind him, the Elders burst into laughter again, slapping their thighs.
Chrysanthemum Douluo whipped his head around—
Only to find them all sitting properly, faces straight and serious.
He took a deep breath and marched off again.
Ghost Douluo glanced around, sighed, and quietly followed him.
"A bunch of short-sighted fools," Chrysanthemum Douluo muttered bitterly.
"An opportunity right in front of them, and not a single one will reach out to take it. I even wanted to share it with them…"
Just then, a dark shadow drifted behind him.
"Yue Guan, wait!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo froze.
Turning around, he saw Ghost Douluo Gui Mei flying toward him like a streak of black light.
"Gui Mei?"
A hint of surprise flickered in Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes.
He thought even his long-time partner wouldn't believe him.
Ghost Douluo landed beside him, his eerie face showing unprecedented seriousness.
"Yue Guan, is that restaurant really real?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo blinked—then his eyes turned slightly red.
"Gui Mei… you believe me?"
His voice trembled slightly.
In the entire Elder Palace…
Only Gui Mei was willing to trust him.
Ghost Douluo snorted lightly.
"Don't I know you?"
"You may be vain, love showing off, and your wine is terrible—but you would never lie about something like this."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression twisted slightly.
"Did you have to point out all the flaws…"
But he quickly dismissed it.
Instead, he grabbed Ghost Douluo excitedly.
"Come! Come! Gui Mei, once you see it yourself, you'll know everything I said is true!"
"And the food—oh, the food—is unbelievably delicious!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo dragged Ghost Douluo forward at breakneck speed—
The urgency of a man heading for a romantic date.
