--- Chapter 427 ---
Beneath the Bright Spirit Palace.
An underground cave was closed with thick layers of sealing techniques after the people from the World of Heroes and Villains arrived. This place used to be accessible through Yunlong's hidden workshop, but Bibi Dong decided to close it because of the summoning array circle inside.
Well, it is also for secrecy reasons.
Bibi Dong couldn't let anyone enter a place with a summoning array circle, which could transfer them to another world, right? Even the people from the World of Heroes and Villains must make sacred vows not to divulge such information.
Yunlong, Bibi Dong, Dong Chan, Gu Yuena, and Kaguya walked down a staircase. In the past, they could instantly teleport into the underground cave, but the thick layers of sealing techniques prevented them from doing that now.
"Uh, does this place need to be sealed this excessively?" Gu Yuena was speechless.
One of the Silver Dragon Goddess's elements is Space Elements, and she could tell that the fabric of space here is as rigid as the one in the Douluo Divine Realm.
Kaguya felt the sealing array and commented, "It's from my homeworld."
"Although my homeworld's technology is lacking, the Sealing Technique we had is more advanced. The one you noticed is from my descendant, Uzumaki Clan."
"Black Zetsu has collected all the Sealing Techniques and shared them with the Bright Spirit Empire. Unfortunately, the Uzumaki Clan have perished with very few descendants left."
"Yes, we also combined these Sealing Techniques with Bright Spirit Lab's Technology to create Helicarrier and many others." Bibi Dong chimed in.
"In fact, these Sealing Techniques helped us so much in the war against the Sun and Moon Empire."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena couldn't help but gape in shock.
Bibi Dong laughed and teased the Silver Dragon Goddess, "Of course, you don't know about this because you hardly pay attention to the Bright Spirit Empire's development."
"You might be a Bright Spirit Empire's Grand Minister, but all you did was freeload."
"..." Gu Yuana's mouth twitched in annoyance.
Bibi Dong is right. Gu Yuena might be the Grand Minister, but she's more of a guardian than anything.
But she's not freeloading!
"Freeload is such a strong word." Gu Yuena frowned at Bibi Dong. "I also helped you maintain the Spatial Barrier on the continent. Don't forget about that..."
"Yeah, yeah." Bibi Dong shrugged it off. Although Gu Yuena's specialty is excellent, she handed most of her jobs to Di Tian and others.
Poor Golden-Eyed Black Dragon couldn't catch a break. He must act like a diplomatic representative all the time. Thankfully, Bi Ji and other Great Beasts have his back.
"You're so quiet?" Yunlong asked Dong Chan, who hadn't opened her mouth the whole time.
Dong Chan smiled, "I just like to talk less. Maybe becoming a 'villainess' in the eyes of others and acting empress has made me emotionally numb a little."
"Hmm, that's true..." Yunlong raised a brow.
"Of course, only with you, I could feel comfortable." Dong Chan sweetly responded. She grasped his hand and rubbed it gently. "Thank you, Yunlong."
"You're welcome, Chan'er." He said back.
This show of affection didn't remain undetected as the three other ladies stopped talking and walked beside Yunlong.
After walking for three more minutes, they finally arrived at the sealed underground cave. The pathway is lighted modernly with several hidden light panels, making the carving on the walls more aesthetic.
"Momo and Melissa were the ones who designed the hallway." Bibi Dong explained to Yunlong frankly. "You should reward those girls with something later."
"They deserved more, to be honest," Yunlong answered as he recalled how the Bright Spirit Labs, especially Saiko Intelli, worked so hard for the Open Space Project.
Bibi Dong was satisfied with Yunlong's response. She giggled and walked forward, waving some hand signs. Soon, the cave entrance was 'slowly' opened alongside the sealing arrays.
But she stopped midway and turned around.
"Who is there?" She sharply asked.
Gu Yuena frowned and saw two people standing in the darkness of the stairs.
Kaguya glanced back and returned her focus to the cave entrance with no interest. She recognized these people.
Yunlong laughed in amusement, "It seems you took my offer seriously, Madara."
Uchiha Madara walked out of the darkness. He wore a very casual dark-blue yukata and had his arms crossed.
Beside him is a Blue-haired woman in a purple dress that Kaguya and Dong Chan found very familiar.
Uchiha Madara solemnly stared at the lineup of powerful women and wryly responded, "My wives pressured me to join you in this journey."
"I was worried for the kids, but they said everything will be fine."
"Greetings, Empress, Minister."
"And Kaguya-sama." After that, Uchiha Madara greeted everyone. These women are more powerful than him, so he has to give them his respect.
'Sama?' Yunlong gave the Ghost of Uchiha a surprising look.
'I thought Madara hates Kaguya... Wait, no. Technically, Madara hates Black Zetsu, not Kaguya herself, for manipulating him. It seems that staying in the Douluo Dalu World for over three years had changed Madara.'
'He's more loving... Aih, Husband and Father's effects could change a man this far.' Yunlong sighed inside. He could understand Madara's changes because he's expecting a daughter soon.
Yunlong diverted his attention to the blue-haired woman beside Uchiha Madara and said, "You've come, Ah Yin."
"Yes, Master." Ah Yin responded calmly. She's one of the six people who will follow him to the Shinobi World. There is a reason behind it, but that's for later.
Before Yunlong called Ah Yin back to the Douluo Planet, she was actually busy terraforming several planets to make them suitable for living. From the data alone, Ah Yin has terraformed over 300 planets.
Kaguya and Dong Chan stared at Ah Yin with complicated gazes. Of course, for different reasons.
Kaguya's current body was 'literally' molded with Ah Yin's essence from Douluo Dalu-6969. In essence, Kaguya is a mutated Spirit Beast called Blue Silver Goddess.
So, Ah Yin is Kaguya's sister in nature, just like Bibi Dong and Dong Chan's case.
On the other hand, Dong Chan stared at her arch-nemesis weirdly. Who would have thought the arrogant Asura Goddess from Douluo Dalu-101 would get reduced to a mere servant?
Bibi Dong sighed, "Madara, I know you're a Shinobi, but announce your presence more clearly next time."
"I don't want to kill you accidentally."
"Understood." Uchiha Madara nodded calmly. He knew Bibi Dong had the power to kill him instantly.
Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly and began to open the cave's entrance again.
Everyone gazed inside and saw a summoning array circle in the middle of the ancient stone floor.
"It's been a while," Yunlong commented. "World Travelling is such a fascinating and terrifying subject."
"At the time, I was careful and could only bring Bibi Dong with me."
"Two of us traveled to the World of Heroes and Villains, finding a new side of the vast universe."
"Madara, are you ready to visit your homeland?" Yunlong asked the Ghost of the Uchiha.
Uchiha Madara stared at the summoning array circle and scoffed, "I was born ready."
"Very Madara-like reply." Yunlong chuckled.
'Neo, prepare for the World Link and Transfer.'
[Initiating the World Link and Transfer...]
Under everyone's watchful gazes, the summoning array circle lit up and shimmered with white light. Every line meticulously connected and gave off this mystical feeling.
Gu Yuena held Yunlong's hand and mumbled, "I'm nervous."
"You shouldn't be. Not many people could pose a threat against you there." Kaguya logically commented.
"..." Gu Yuena.
At first, Gu Yuena thought Kaguya was on her side. They literally teamed up against Yunlong earlier. But what is this?
[The World Link is 'successfully' formed]
[The World Transfer is ready!]
[Do you want to proceed?]
[Yes/No]
"Okay, I will transfer everyone."
"Prepare for the World Transfers whiplash."
Everyone knowingly enveloped themselves with their energy, whether it was Divine Energy, Spirit Energy, or Mental Power.
Yunlong smirked and pressed the 'Yes' option, "Let's go."
