Upon hearing the broadcast in his mind, Qian Renjue couldn't help but feel a bit of joy.
He had over 5,000 points in his account, enough to acquire this Sea God's Divine Will.
Just as he was about to issue the order, Qian Renjue frowned, realizing something.
This matter involved gods from the higher realms, so he had to be extra cautious.
A blood-red glow emanated from the Divine Oracle Reverse Mark in the center of his forehead, falling onto the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
"Squeak Squeak!"
("Your Highness, what is that?")
The Soft Bone Rabbit curiously looked at the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which had its brilliance obscured by the blood glow, and muttered softly while perched on Qian Renjue's shoulder.
Naturally, no one paid attention to it at this moment.
Within a breath, some information appeared in Qian Renjue's mind:
Seagod's Divine Will: A sleeping divine thought that will awaken if disturbed by soul energy.
Even with this information, Qian Renjue still had doubts. "If I devour this divine thought, won't the Sea God in the Divine Realm sense it?"
Currently, the Douluo Planet was shrouded by the Enshrouding Fog.
As long as Qian Renjue didn't trigger the divine wills left behind by the gods in the lower realm, they would never see the true situation of the Douluo Planet.
However, if triggered, the advantage Qian Renjue had painstakingly built would be instantly undone.
Reflecting on this, Qian Renjue glanced at the information about the Enshrouding Fog.
Enshrouding Fog:
A mist covering the outer part of Douluo Planet, displaying a scene almost identical to the original story.
It can deceive the higher realms' gaze and hide the host's aura and whereabouts.
Reminder
This is ineffective against divine wills that were already residing in this plane. (Durability: 84.88%)
A considerable amount of time had already passed.
Qian Renjue knew that he currently had no ability to go head-to-head with those beings.
After pondering for a moment, a mechanical voice echoed again in his mind:
The host can choose to temporarily store the Sea God's Divine Will in the Divine Oracle Reverse Mark and devour it at any time.
Would you like to store the Sea God's Divine Will and prepare to devour it later?
Cost: 3,500 points!
Detected Seagod's Divine Power, consume 1,000 points to devour and convert it?
"This seems like a safer option," Qian Renjue murmured as he stroked his chin, then nodded slightly.
After all, he couldn't use the portion of divine power and authority stored in the Divine Oracle Reverse Mark until he became a god.
It might as well stay there for now.
As Qian Renjue made his decision, the blood-soaked black feather on his forehead flashed with blood light and shot onto the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud suddenly rose into the air, becoming a transparent blue, three-dimensional triangle, small enough to fit in the palm of his hand. It glowed with a crystalline blue light, while a strange blood-red energy continuously surged into it.
On the surface of the blue triangular object, the wave-like patterns began to ripple, washed by the blood-red power.
Sea God's Divine Power has been devoured and converted!
Remaining points: 4,850
Soon after, a blood-red bead-like orb floated out of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, its core radiating a brilliant blue.
It was enveloped by thin black chains from the Divine Oracle Reverse Mark, which wrapped around it layer by layer before pulling it into Qian Renjue's forehead.
Sea God's Divine Will has been extracted! The host can devour or separate the authority at any time.
Remaining points: 1,350!
As the Sea God's Divine Will was absorbed into his forehead, Qian Renjue was distracted by the influx of information rather than the system's usual voice.
Clang!
The triangular object fell to the ground at Qian Renjue's feet, snapping him back to reality.
"Squeak!"
("Your Highness, let Xiao Wu help you pick it up.")
Before Qian Renjue could bend down, the Soft Bone Rabbit leaped down, picking up the triangle and happily jumping onto his lap.
("Here you go, Your Highness.")
"Heh." Qian Renjue smiled as he took the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in his hand, his eyes filled with joy.
Though it still shone brilliantly, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had lost some of its original spirit.
However, what excited Qian Renjue wasn't its strange appearance but the fact that even without the Sea God's Divine Power and Divine Will, it still retained four useful skills:
1. Invisibility Skill: Vast Sea Protection Barrier
2. Control and Locking Skill: Cosmic Stasis Barrier
This skill could immobilize enemies whose spiritual power was less than three times that of the user.
Though he could no longer summon the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud at will, the two other skills—Vast Sea Wild Waves (a group attack) and Cosmic Magic Breaker (a single-target attack)—remained.
He can also adjust the required soul power to determine the strength of this skill
Feeling joyful, Qian Renjue absentmindedly played with the white rabbit in his hand.
"Wuu~"
The Soft Bone Rabbit whimpered softly as Qian Renjue gently squeezed it, its eyes filled with enjoyment and pleasure.
With a smile on his face, Qian Renjue tucked the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud into his system space and called out:
"Sister Ling, speed up a bit."
"As you wish, Your Highness," Ling Yuan responded with a smile, snapping the reins as the cool wind blew against her face, her short hair flowing wildly.
The carriage slowly crossed the border of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The warm sunlight turned orange, as though it set the entire Sunset Forest ablaze.
Meanwhile, at the banquet of the Strength Clan, the absence of the main guest was keenly felt.
Many attendees had joined in the search for Tai Tan and his son.
Two days later, the Strength Clan had already hung white banners—what was once a celebration had turned into a funeral.
Tai Tan and his son were now honored with a memorial tomb.
At that moment, Qian Renjue's carriage had arrived at the gates of Spirit City, moving steadily toward the city's center.
Bibi Dong, who had long been informed, had already cleared a large area, sending away anyone irrelevant.
She stood wearing a crown, holding a scepter, her graceful figure dressed in a luxurious robe adorned with jewels.
Weariness and deep longing were evident in her brows, and behind her stood two elders, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, both staring intently at the approaching carriage.
Qian Renjue stepped out of the carriage, grabbing the roof and waving happily at Bibi Dong.
"It seems... he really missed me," Bibi Dong smiled brightly, thrusting her scepter into the ground.
"Your Highness, hold on tight," Ling Yuan Douluo gently reminded as she slowed the carriage, pulling the reins tight.
As the horses neighed, Qian Renjue jumped to the ground.
Just as he lifted his head and ready to step forward—
"Mom—ahwoom!"
Before he could finish speaking, a blur rushed past, accompanied by a fragrant scent.
Suddenly, he found himself holding a warm, soft figure, perfectly balanced without any sense of impact.
Warmth, softness, and a long-missed, comforting fragrance surrounded him.
Looking around, all that was left in Bibi Dong's original spot was her still standing scepter, and crown on top of it
