24: Chapter 24 — Godzilla’s Butterfly Effect,
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo looked at each other.
Neither dared say another word.
After finishing his reprimand toward the two Elders, Qian Daoliu turned his attention toward Bibi Dong.
His expression carried a clear sense of disappointment, as though she had somehow failed to live up to the expectations he had placed upon her.
“Staying in a place like that for three years, how could you possibly continue cultivating through a proper Mimicry Environment?
Those three years were the golden period of your cultivation, yet you simply wasted them away on Sea God Island!”
The more Qian Daoliu thought about it, the angrier he became.
Of the remaining three Spirit Bones that had been promised as compensation, the first two had been found within that very year.
The final Spirit Bone, however, had proven far more troublesome.
Spirit Hall had practically turned the continent upside down searching for it.
They had searched for two entire years before finally obtaining the last piece.
Qian Daoliu could not help feeling that all of this trouble could have been avoided.
“If the three of you had not caused such a commotion, I could have brought Dong’er back three years ago.
I might not even have needed to hand over the remaining three Spirit Bones!”
Bibi Dong felt increasingly aggrieved as she listened.
There were things she wanted to explain.
Unfortunately, how could she possibly explain them?
She had not wasted those three years.
If anything, those three years had been the most productive period of cultivation she had ever experienced.
Unable to defend herself, she could only glance helplessly toward Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Yue Guan immediately understood what she meant.
Seeing that the High Priest was still furious, he quickly stepped forward.
“High Priest, please calm down, because there is something you do not know.
The truth is that after staying beside that giant beast for such a long time, the Spirit Power of the three of us has advanced at an astonishing rate.”
Qian Daoliu frowned.
He clearly did not believe the explanation immediately.
“Is that really true?”
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance.
Then both of them released their Spirit Power without hesitation.
Powerful fluctuations instantly spread throughout the deck.
Qian Daoliu’s expression changed.
His eyes widened as he carefully sensed the cultivation of the two Titled Douluo standing before him.
The fluctuations were genuine.
There was no mistake.
Their cultivation had actually increased.
According to common sense, the cultivation of a Titled Douluo was already extremely difficult to advance.
Once a Spirit Master entered the Titled Douluo realm, every additional level required enormous amounts of time, talent, resources, and comprehension.
The higher one climbed, the more difficult advancement became.
Yet Yue Guan’s cultivation had originally been at Level 92.
Now, he had reached Level 95.
Ghost Douluo had originally been at Level 93.
Now, he had reached Level 96.
Three levels.
For Titled Douluo, that was an astonishing improvement.
Qian Daoliu stared at them for several seconds before finally speaking.
“That fast?
The cultivation speed of you two is now faster than some Spirit Masters with exceptionally high talent!”
Yue Guan’s face revealed a trace of pride.
“At the beginning, our cultivation really did advance extremely quickly, but as time passed, the rate gradually slowed down.”
Qian Daoliu’s anger finally weakened somewhat.
His brows unconsciously relaxed.
Then Bibi Dong immediately added another piece of information.
“I am already a Level 75 Spirit Saint.”
Qian Daoliu froze.
His eyes slowly turned toward her.
“What did you say?”
Bibi Dong calmly repeated herself.
“I am now a Level 75 Spirit Saint.”
Qian Daoliu’s expression became even more incredulous.
“You’re twenty-one years old and already possess Level 75 Spirit Power?”
He genuinely could not believe the number he had heard.
When Bibi Dong had originally been sent to Sea God Island, she had only been at Level 64.
Now, after three years, she had advanced ten levels.
Qian Daoliu knew exactly how terrifying that rate of cultivation was.
Bibi Dong’s talent had always been extraordinary.
But this was no longer merely extraordinary.
It was almost absurd.
What Qian Daoliu did not know was that in the original timeline, Bibi Dong had only reached the Spirit Saint realm at around twenty-one years old.
Now, because of Godzilla’s presence, she was already five levels ahead of that trajectory.
The butterfly effect had already begun.
Qian Daoliu’s mind raced.
There is actually something in this world capable of producing such an effect?
He finally understood why these three had been so reluctant to leave Sea God Island.
“No wonder.”
Qian Daoliu’s expression became thoughtful.
“Sea God Island truly needs to be taken seriously, and we will still have to continue searching for Spirit Bones.”
Yue Guan immediately seized the opportunity to make another suggestion.
“Doesn’t that giant beast like Spirit Bones?
If we establish a good relationship with him and continue staying beside him, perhaps our cultivation can advance even further.”
Qian Daoliu’s eyes flickered.
His expression became serious.
“Hmm.”
He thought about it briefly before making a decision.
“I will find several more Spirit Bones and try to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.”
Bibi Dong’s previously tense heart finally relaxed.
At least Qian Daoliu was no longer angry.
And more importantly, he had apparently realized that Sea God Island was not merely a place where Spirit Hall had suffered losses.
It was also a place containing an extraordinary opportunity.
The fleet gradually moved away from Sea God Island.
Their destination was the western port city of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Vast Sea City.
However, Bibi Dong’s group was not the only group traveling toward Vast Sea City.
At almost the same time, two other groups were also moving toward the same destination.
And their arrival would eventually cause another chain reaction.
That night, inside a small hotel in a city located in the eastern region of the Heaven Dou Empire, Tang Xiao sat across from his younger brother.
The room was quiet.
Tang Xiao’s brows remained tightly furrowed.
After hesitating for some time, he finally called out.
“Tang Hao, don’t you feel that something about Ah Yin is rather strange?”
Tang Hao looked at his elder brother.
Then he smiled honestly.
His mind immediately returned to the beautiful figure he had met during their travels.
“Ah Yin is not only beautiful, but the fresh aura around her is especially attractive.
Whenever I am near her, it feels as though I am looking at a fairy who descended from the heavens.”
Tang Hao paused.
A foolish smile appeared on his face.
“She’s quite pretty.”
Tang Xiao stared at his younger brother.
Then he reached out and struck Tang Hao heavily on the head.
“Stop thinking about her appearance for a moment and listen carefully.
I suspect that Ah Yin is actually a 100,000-year Spirit Beast who has transformed into human form.”
Tang Hao froze.
His expression became one of complete disbelief.
“Big Brother, are you serious?
The first time I saw her, I had already started thinking about what we should name our future children.
How could she possibly be a Spirit Beast?”
Tang Xiao did not laugh.
His expression remained heavy.
“The three of us have traveled together for a long time, and every time Ah Yin uses her power, I become more convinced that something is wrong.
Think carefully about it yourself.
Is it really normal for a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master to cultivate all the way to Level 66?”
Tang Hao’s smile gradually disappeared.
He began thinking seriously.
Four years.
It had already been four years since he and Tang Xiao had left the Clear Sky Sect to travel across the continent.
During those four years, they had met countless Spirit Masters.
They had seen people with powerful Martial Souls.
They had seen people with astonishing innate talent.
They had even encountered strange Martial Souls that neither brother had previously heard about.
But never once had they encountered a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master who possessed such an astonishing cultivation.
Level 66.
That was already an extremely high level.
At first, Tang Hao had simply assumed that Ah Yin possessed extraordinary talent.
But now that his elder brother had pointed out the obvious contradiction, he finally began connecting the clues.
“Come to think of it…”
Tang Hao lowered his voice.
“It really is a little strange.”
Tang Xiao reached over and patted his younger brother’s shoulder.
His expression became extremely serious.
“This matter must never spread.
Your talent is even greater than mine, and your future achievements will certainly surpass mine, so you should continue spending more time with Ah Yin.
Once you reach Level 90…”
Tang Xiao slowly raised his hand.
He placed one finger against his throat.
Then he made a slow slashing motion.
The meaning was obvious.
Tang Hao’s expression became complicated.
“A 100,000-year Spirit Ring?”
He paused.
“That would be a 100,000-year Spirit Ring that even Grandfather never obtained.”
His heart trembled slightly.
Tang Hao had regarded his grandfather, Tang Chen, as his greatest goal for his entire life.
His grandfather represented the pinnacle of what a human Spirit Master could accomplish.
If there truly were an opportunity to obtain a 100,000-year Spirit Ring, how could Tang Hao not be tempted?
He did not know what had truly happened when Tang Chen went out to sea.
But judging from the events of four years ago, he could not help making certain assumptions.
If his grandfather had possessed a 100,000-year Spirit Ring, then perhaps things would have been different.
Perhaps Tang Chen would not have needed to travel alongside Spirit Hall’s High Priest.
Perhaps he would not have been caught in that disastrous battle.
Perhaps he would not have returned missing an arm.
Tang Hao’s eyes gradually became determined.
“This matter must rot in our stomachs.
Nobody else can ever know the truth.”
Tang Xiao nodded.
“Of course.”
Tang Hao hesitated.
Then he asked a completely different question.
“But what about the fact that I actually like Ah Yin?”
Tang Xiao’s expression immediately became strange.
He looked at his younger brother with obvious annoyance.
“If you like her, then go after her.
It won’t be too late to make your move after she has given birth to your child.”
Tang Hao’s expression stiffened.
Tang Xiao continued without hesitation.
“Remember, after everything is settled, you must absorb her as your ninth Spirit Ring.”
Tang Hao lowered his head.
“I understand, Big Brother.”
His voice was quiet.
“I will keep it hidden in my heart.”
Tang Xiao nodded.
“I will accompany the two of you for several more years.
Once your relationship becomes stable and you reach around Level 80, I will find an excuse to return to the sect.”
Tang Hao looked at his elder brother.
“Big Brother, thank you.”
Tang Xiao smiled and lightly punched him on the shoulder.
“We are brothers, so why are you being polite?”
He then thought for a moment.
“Tomorrow, the three of us will swear an oath as siblings and find a reason to keep Ah Yin traveling with us.
Once she becomes accustomed to being around us, everything will become easier.”
Tang Hao nodded.
“I understand, Big Brother.”
The next morning, the three of them sat together for breakfast.
The atmosphere was peaceful.
Ah Yin had no idea what the two brothers had discussed the previous night.
She merely remembered how carefully Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had treated her during the past year.
Although they had only met through their travels, the two brothers had always protected her and treated her sincerely.
A trace of warmth appeared within Ah Yin’s heart.
Tang Xiao finally spoke.
“Ah Yin, why don’t the three of us swear an oath as siblings and travel across the continent together from now on?”
Ah Yin looked at him.
She did not suspect anything.
After thinking about it briefly, she nodded.
“Okay.”
Tang Hao immediately called the waiter over and asked for wine.
The three of them soon prepared everything necessary.
They cut their palms and allowed their blood to mix before raising their cups.
Then they solemnly swore their oath.
“We do not seek to be born in the same year, same month, and same day, but we seek to die in the same year, same month, and same day!”
The three drank the wine in one gulp.
Tang Hao lowered his cup.
He hesitated for a moment before looking toward Ah Yin.
“Are there any places you want to visit next?”
Ah Yin became thoughtful.
Then she gave her answer.
“I want to see the ocean.”
Her words sounded casual.
But the truth was somewhat different.
Ah Yin did not actually have a particular desire to admire the ocean.
What she truly wanted was to investigate a legend she had heard circulating throughout the past twenty thousand years.
A legend concerning an Ocean Holy Beast.
According to the rumors, an extraordinarily terrifying existence had appeared in the ocean and killed Poseidon, the Level 99 false god who had once ruled over the sea.
The story had spread throughout the ocean.
It had even gradually reached the ears of the Spirit Beast races on the continent.
Yet Ah Yin had never heard anything about such an existence from the inherited memories of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
That was precisely what made her curious.
There should not have been such a powerful existence without leaving some trace within the inherited memories of her clan.
Unless…
This being had appeared only recently.
Or perhaps its existence had been deliberately concealed.
Ah Yin’s eyes narrowed slightly.
There was one possibility she could not dismiss.
Could that mysterious Ocean Holy Beast actually be the legendary co-ruler of the Spirit Beasts?
The existence known throughout the world as the Beast God?
She did not know the answer.
But she intended to find out.
And without realizing it, Ah Yin’s decision to travel toward the ocean had already placed her on a path that had never existed in the original course of fate.
Because somewhere across that vast sea, a gigantic beast was lying beneath the sunlight.
And that beast had already begun changing the destiny of the entire world.
