"Not even a single, substantial congratulation?"
A wicked smile crept onto Song Zhe's lips.
He didn't want a mere verbal congratulation; it wouldn't bring him any benefit.
In any case, some concrete actions are needed to truly congratulate someone.
"Sister, you've taken all the benefits from me. If you want them, come and get them yourself."
Gu Yuena shrugged.
This naughty younger brother just wants her to take the initiative and makes him happy when he sees her make a fool of herself.
"If I have to do it myself, would that still be considered a congratulatory gift from my sister?"
Song Zhe would never admit it.
No matter what Gu Yuena says, it cannot change his original intention.
That unwavering original aspiration is what Song Zhe desires most.
Even if it is obtained in a different form, it loses its essence.
"snort."
Gu Yuena gave a haughty snort.
She slowly lowered her head and kissed Song Zhe's lips, lingering there for a long time.
Even though Song Zhe looked extremely disheveled at this moment, she didn't think there was anything wrong with him.
What's wrong with a man sweating a little?
"My sister's encouragement has given me a lot of energy. I'll focus on condensing my Soul Ring first. I reckon the reward will be issued once I've finished condensing it."
Knowing that the projection of the Sea God is himself, it doesn't seem wrong for him to take a break from his own life!
"Okay, okay, then congratulations in advance on becoming a Soul Douluo. When you become a Titled Douluo, I have a big gift for you."
Gu Yuena nodded cutely.
For her, the age of the Soul Ring doesn't really matter much.
After Song Zhe becomes a Titled Douluo, even without using those Soul Rings, his strength will definitely be top-notch.
Moreover, Song Zhe ultimately needs to integrate all the Soul Rings, so he cannot follow the Douluo Continent system.
In this system, it is virtually impossible to become an existence that surpasses even the God-King.
Limited by the rules of the world, even the Sea God is only at the peak of a first-level god.
The sea god occupied all the seas, roughly three times the size of the land.
The number of people who worshipped the sea god was also quite considerable.
They may not be able to compare to all the Soul Masters on land, but they can still be about half of them.
Even so, he was directly knocked down to the dust during the process of ascending to the God King.
Since he couldn't reach the God King realm, the path to godhood through the Douluo system was definitely not an option.
"I don't want it unless you're given to me."
Song Zhe chuckled and looked at Gu Yuena with a meaningful expression.
Gu Yuena, on the other hand, could only roll her eyes at him speechlessly; she liked the kid's idea.
Even if Song Zhe didn't want to, she still had to agree!
Doesn't he realize that Gu Yuena is at the peak of a first-level god, while Song Zhe is merely a titled Douluo?
If Gu Yuena wanted to do something, Song Zhe wouldn't be able to resist at all!
The surprise of becoming a Titled Douluo will make Song Zhe realize what true shock is.
"I'm going to start condensing my Soul Rings."
Before Gu Yuena could speak, Song Zhe could roughly guess what this woman wanted to do.
As the head of the family, if Gu Yuena were to succeed, where would his manly dignity be?
'It seems I need to secretly break through to the Titled Douluo level and then launch a surprise attack on Gu Yuena.'
When Song Zhe said he wanted to cultivate, Gu Yuena immediately stood up to protect him.
"What's this?"
Suddenly, Gu Yuena saw Song Zhe take out a bottle of blood, which was filled with a strong aroma.
The aura was wonderful, almost like a lake of life.
"This is phoenix blood, which can extend my lifespan. I obtained it by chance, and it should be able to enhance my constitution."
What Song Zhe presented was the Phoenix Blood that Di Shitian obtained in the world of Fengyun.
His greatest gain over the past year or so was this bottle of Phoenix Blood.
With this vial of blood, not only will his strength increase, but his lifespan will also be greatly extended.
Once his lifespan is extended, he can activate the past life simulator more often.
Eventually, he will be able to find something he needs.
Could it be that he'll always be unlucky and never get anything good?
Even for those with bad luck, the sheer number of attempts can make up for it.
(TL: tell that to gamblers)
"I will protect you."
This wasn't the first time Gu Yuena had witnessed Song Zhe's extraordinary abilities.
This guy always manages to come up with some weird and wonderful things, many of which she'd never even heard of before.
It's as if these things don't belong to this world at all.
However, as long as it doesn't harm Song Zhe, she won't interfere with anything; Song Zhe has his own path to walk.
"Um."
Song Zhe poured out a drop of phoenix blood, swallowed it, and absorbed it by circulating the Lesser Formless Technique.
The main effect of phoenix blood is to prolong life; it doesn't offer much improvement to the individual.
(TL: honestly it's a first for me to see phoenix blood not give some OP revival skill or some regen skill or maybe like an op fire skill… seems very disappointing that this crap onlyextends his lifespan)
However, to absorb the power of the phoenix blood, one must proceed gradually, step by step.
After all, he is not Emperor Shitian, and he does not possess the power he had when he absorbed the phoenix blood.
Sure enough, just a drop of phoenix blood, once it entered his throat, seemed to ignite as if it were on fire.
Terrifying flames burned on his body, yet they did not harm Song Zhe.
His clothes were burned to ashes.
The impurities in his body were also quickly burned away, making his body purer and more spotless.
As for Gu Yuena, she took a step back.
She could suddenly sense that the phoenix's strength in its lifetime was extremely terrifying.
Even a drop of blood after death is filled with terrifying longevity energy.
If Song Zhe absorbs it completely, it will definitely extend his lifespan, etc.
Even if he doesn't become a god, he won't perish due to the exhaustion of his lifespan over ten thousand years.
This time, Song Zhe's plan may require a long period of transformation.
After all, trying to change a cultivation system will be rejected by the will of the world.
Everyone who forges a new path either dies under the will of the world or under their own new laws.
It took Song Zhe three whole months to absorb this knowledge.
It took him so much time to absorb the entire bottle of phoenix blood.
If you walked up to Song Zhe at this moment, you could smell a delicate fragrance.
All of this is thanks to the Phoenix Blood. Besides, Gu Yuena is a dragon, so it's not bad for the dragon and phoenix to live in harmony.
"Phew~ I feel like this is pretty good."
Song Zhe got up and twisted his neck, which cracked loudly.
He finally finished absorbing that small amount of phoenix blood. If there had been more, it would have taken him a very long time to absorb it.
The amount of phoenix blood he obtained was not as much as that of Emperor Shitian; it was only a small portion.
But for Song Zhe, it's enough for now.
"Hurry up and condense your soul ring, and while you're at it, have the Sea God distribute the reward."
Gu Yuena gave instructions from the side.
Watching Song Zhe meditate cross-legged every day, she didn't have time to say more than a few words to him.
She was even worried that Song Zhe would suddenly disappear again, just like before.
If she could have a child, and have a child by her side in the future, she probably wouldn't be so anxious and insecure.
(TL: woah woah woah too fast lady lol)
It was precisely because of her fear of losing him that Gu Yuena stayed with Song Zhe, almost inseparable from him.
"good!"
Song Zhe sat down cross-legged and began to condense his eighth Soul Ring.
