Cutting off the connection between Xu Huang and the Eternal and Creation Divine Throne?
Tang San had considered it, but with only a basic understanding of the "Creation" attribute, he knew it wasn't enough. A deeper knowledge of that super artifact was necessary.
Currently, there was only one way to gain this understanding:
Combat.
However, neither Tang San nor Xu Huang wanted to proceed with this approach, as escalating the situation could attract the attention of the divine realm, which would lead to complications.
Tang San was concerned about Gu Yuena being discovered, while Xu Huang feared that the Five Great Divine Kings of the divine realm might seek to "reclaim" the Eternal and Creation Divine Throne as part of the legacy of their Creator God.
"San Ge, I was wondering where you were, and it turns out you're here having a private chat with your little girlfriend," Xiao Wu said, coming from the stairs and joining Gu Yuena . She teased them.
From behind, the three of them stood at the edge of the city wall—two tall and one short—casting elongated shadows that resembled a family out for a sightseeing trip.
"What do you mean, 'private chat'? We're perfectly open!" Gu Yuena retorted without hesitation. She was never one to back down when it came to the soft-boned rabbit.
"Not even fully grown and already acting so openly?" Xiao Wu scoffed, giving Tang San, who was about to explain, a dismissive glance. She patted the short Gu Yuena's head and taunted, "Let's hear you call me 'sister'."
"Hmph!" Gu Yuena turned her head away and responded coldly, "I wonder who it was who was all furry. Now I don't know if they've shaved it off or if it's stuck to their head."
Xiao Wu felt her fist tightening but ultimately refrained from striking. After all, she was an "adult"; was it worth it to argue with a "child"?
The two stared each other down until Tang San, unable to watch any longer, wrapped his arm around Xiao Wu's waist, took Gu Yuena 's hand, and led them down from the city wall. "Alright, you two, stop squabbling. Let's go down. Tonight will not be peaceful."
"Is it the Haotian Sect's leader who is restless?" Xiao Wu's gaze sharpened as she looked toward the area where the Haotian Sect disciples were stationed. She had sensed the soul power emanating from Tang Xiao and had come to check on things after calming Guang Ling, Rongrong, and Huo Wu. She was surprised to find Gu Yuena had arrived first.
"Don't worry about Tang Xiao. He still has a sense of the bigger picture," Tang San said, glancing at the area where the Haotian Sect disciples were. He walked slowly down the winding staircase. "I had a private chat with him earlier, which unsettled his mind a bit, but as a 97th-level Titled Douluo, he should have calmed down by now. What we need to watch out for is—"
"The situation in Xiaohai City."
Not all of the Blue Silver Emperors left behind were retrieved by Tang San; a small portion of the roots remained beneath Xiaohai City and its surrounding area.
Through these remaining roots, Tang San could extend his spiritual sense and monitor the situation in Xiaohai City.
Xu Huang planned to launch a night raid on Soul Sea City tonight to capture it.
"A night raid?" Xiao Wu frowned. "They don't want us to get a good night's sleep. Fortunately, our top combatants don't need much sleep."
The term "not needing much sleep" applied mainly to those like Tang San, Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, Ning Rongrong, and Huo Wu, who had cultivated their life essence, soul power, and spiritual attributes to a point where their bodies had achieved a significant level of self-sustenance. Their stamina and mental strength were far superior to ordinary Soul Masters.
As for Gu Yuena , from a life-level perspective, she didn't need to sleep in the mortal sense. Her "sleep" was more for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Additionally, Hu Liena could also get by with less rest compared to ordinary Soul Masters, as the Wisdom and Spirit Soul Throne helped her life level increase slowly.
Others, including Tang Xiao, still need sleep to maintain their energy. However, compared to most people, he can stay up longer.
"When will they arrive? How many of them will there be? Will Xu Huang come along as well?" Gu Yuena was more concerned about the specifics of the night raid.
"They will arrive around one or two in the morning," Tang San replied.
"There will be fourteen of them, with thirteen being Titled Douluo, led by a level 98 Moonlight Elf."
"Xu Huang won't be coming. It would be beneath him. Their primary goal is likely to ascertain my exact strength."
Everything in Xiaohai City was under Tang San's observation!
After confirming Tang San's intelligence, Gu Yuena counted on her fingers. "So, the level 98 one will be the most challenging... What exactly is a Moonlight Elf?"
Xiao Wu also looked puzzled. "What is that? Some kind of soul beast?"
"It's a non-human humanoid creature. It looks much like a human, although female Moonlight Elves are often quite attractive... with pointed ears," Tang San explained the appearance and origin of the elves. "But they shouldn't be classified as soul beasts. They come from a space within the Eternal and Creation Divine Throne: the Domain of Eternity."
Gu Yuena said, "Oh," as she was familiar with the concept. In the Dragon God's legacy memories, there were similar pointed-eared races on a certain mortal planet controlled by the divine realm, and they even had wings.
However, she didn't have a concrete concept until Tang San described them.
After all, some rare or uncommon soul beasts on the continent were also labeled with the term "XX Elf."
"The Domain of Eternity? Is it a space within the super artifact?" Xiao Wu asked. "Is it similar to the Spirit Beast Illusion Space?"
"It's more real than that. It is a domain within the Eternal and Creation Divine Throne, essentially a true plane," Tang San clarified. "The Spirit Beast Illusion Space would need considerable time to reach such a level, and it would require both of us to break through level 100 in soul power."
Xiao Wu pumped her fist and cheered, "Great, let's set a small goal: reach level 100!"
Gu Yuena looked at Xiao Wu as if she were crazy and scoffed, "A mere rabbit thinking of breaking through level 100? How unrealistic."
Xiao Wu grinned, moved closer to Tang San, and stuck out her tongue at Gu Yuena , provoking her. "Well, I have a good older brother. Unlike some precocious little brat who can't even steal a bite."
Gu Yuena gave her the middle finger and silently vowed, "Just you wait, you dead rabbit. I'll definitely steal Tang San away from you, and then you'll have no tears to cry!"
After informing Marshal Ge Long of the Night Moon Empire's planned raid, Tang San and Xiao Wu returned to their quarters. Guang Ling, Rongrong, and Huo Wu were already in their pajamas, waiting on the bed. Tang San and Xiao Wu went inside, closing the door on Gu Yuena .
"What a lecherous glutton! Knowing that the Night Moon Empire is planning a night raid around midnight and still not getting enough rest, instead, you sleep in the same bed as usual. Is it really that enjoyable?"
As Gu Yuena walked away, she complained, "The soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest are so lackluster during their reproductive activities. Why do humans find it so enjoyable?"
Unable to understand, Gu Yuena found Blue Silver and decided to ask this "mature" one for the specifics. At least Blue Silver wouldn't hide things just because she was a "child" and would treat her with respect.
