Two days later, Zhao Ling gathered all his wives in his courtyard. Of course, this excluded Bo Saixi and Bibi Dong, who already had divine inheritances, and some wives whose strength wasn't yet sufficient. After counting the numbers, Zhao Ling placed all his wives into the Eighteen Realms Sky Domain within his Dantian.
The wives felt a blur before their eyes, and then they found themselves in an extremely dense, lush primeval forest. Ah Yin, Xiao Wu, Xiao Rou, and the others wondered if their husband had brought them to the Great Star Dou Forest. However, they were certain that this was definitely not the Great Star Dou Forest. The reason was simple: the surrounding heaven and earth elemental energy and immortal spiritual energy were so dense that they formed a sea of spiritual energy within the thick forest. Gu Yuena felt the extremely concentrated sea of spiritual energy, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, and she asked Zhao Ling with a puzzled expression: "Darling, why do I feel that after not being here for several days, the spiritual energy concentration has increased by at least three layers? Why such an exaggerated increase?"
Zhao Ling also sensed it carefully, then smiled at Gu Yuena: "I sped up the flow of time in this Eighteen Realms Sky Domain two days ago. Now, one day in the Douluo Mortal Realm is a month in this Eighteen Realms Sky Domain. This is the limit I can achieve at the moment. Therefore, even if we spend several months here, it will only be a few days in the Douluo Mortal Realm."
"What? You can speed up the flow of time that much???" Gu Yuena was utterly shocked. One day in the Douluo Mortal Realm was equivalent to a month here. This meant that even if they stayed here for a year, it would only be 12 days in the Douluo Mortal Realm. To some extent, they could completely exploit this loophole to cultivate to godhood here, perhaps not even needing many days.
"It's alright. All of you, sit down cross-legged now. I will bestow upon you the rules of this New God Realm. Once you cultivate these rules to their peak, you won't be far from creating your own divine positions."
The wives all nodded and sat down cross-legged, and Zhao Ling then bestowed upon each of them the rules of this New God Realm.
Gu Yuena herself was transformed from the Dragon God of the Douluo God Realm, the second generation co-ruler of spirit beasts. So, Zhao Ling bestowed upon her the Dragon God Rule, giving her the ability to command all beasts in the New God Realm and even the other seventeen Sky Domains in the future.
Ah Yin was transformed from the Blue Silver Emperor and possessed extremely powerful life force. Therefore, Zhao Ling bestowed upon her the Life Rule, allowing her to control the life force within the Eighteen Realms Sky Domain.
Liu Erlong was human, and her Spirit was a Fire Dragon. Even after her mutation, her personality was still quite fiery. Zhao Ling bestowed upon her the Fire Rule, allowing her to control the power of fire within the Eighteen Realms Sky Domain.
Divine Rules and the New God Realm
Zhao Ling himself wasn't very clear about the arrangements for the various deities, so Gu Yuena provided sound advice, such as letting Xiao Wu receive the Destruction Rule of the Eighteen Realms Sky Domain. She suggested that Wang Qiu'er, as an Imperial Auspicious Beast, receive the Fate Rule of the Eighteen Realms Sky Domain. She also proposed that Tang Wutong receive the Goodness Rule of this Eighteen Realms Sky Domain. As for the Evil Rule, none of the wives wanted it. They didn't want their sisters to tease them about being evil or anything. So, Zhao Ling didn't bestow the Evil Rule. If worst comes to worst, he would take on the role of the Evil God King himself in the future. After all, he possessed all the rules of this New God Realm. And all the wives present were his own wives, so what if he was a bit evil? He was willing.
After Zhao Ling had bestowed the rules upon all his wives, he told them the essentials of creating a divine position. He then instructed them to comprehend it diligently, hoping they could quickly gain recognition from this rule power. After doing all this, Zhao Ling directly left the Eighteen Realms Sky Domain.
Now, all his wives had reached the strength of Titled Douluo or Limit Douluo. Even if they didn't eat or drink for several months, they wouldn't starve. Moreover, the Eighteen Realms Sky Domain possessed extremely rich heaven and earth elemental energy and immortal spiritual energy, which would greatly benefit them. So Zhao Ling decided to let them cultivate well in the New God Realm for a period. Of course, he couldn't stay there himself. The reason was simple: it was too boring. With over a dozen extremely beautiful wives sitting cross-legged beside him, but unable to "cause trouble" with them, wouldn't that be more unbearable than killing him?
This time, Zhao Ling planned to visit the Sunset Forest. It had been many years since he had gone there. Zhao Ling intended to see if a new batch of medicinal herbs had matured. He planned to concoct more Eight Immortals Pills. The immortal-grade medicinal herbs he still possessed were only the Gazing into Autumn Waters Dew, the Qi Luo Jade Silk Fragrance, the Xiangsi Duanchanghong (Yearning Heartbroken Red), and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. The first two were not very suitable for refining Eight Immortals Pills, so only the Xiangsi Duanchanghong (Yearning Heartbroken Red) and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng were suitable now.
Originally, Zhao Ling wanted to keep the Xiangsi Duanchanghong (Yearning Heartbroken Red), but he always felt that this item seemed to be at odds with him. When he asked each of his wives to try to pluck the Xiangsi Duanchanghong (Yearning Heartbroken Red), they would all recall the miserable scenes of being intensely disciplined by him, which led to all his wives failing to pluck it. Even that girl Xiao Wu was like this, which made Zhao Ling a bit depressed. They clearly developed unwavering love for him after their intimate encounters, so why did they all fail to pluck it? Could it be that his wives were all affected by the Lady Killer LV.6 effect and it didn't count as their genuine love for him?
Zhao Ling thought about it and felt a bit unwilling, so he decided to let his wives try again. Therefore, he planned to first refine a new batch of Eight Immortals Pills using the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Then, he would let his wives try again to see if they could make the Xiangsi Duanchanghong (Yearning Heartbroken Red) recognize them as its master. After all, that girl Gu Yuena hadn't tried yet, so he had to let her try. If it still didn't work, Zhao Ling planned to directly use the Xiangsi Duanchanghong (Yearning Heartbroken Red) to refine Eight Immortals Pills. The system had indicated that no matter if the Xiangsi Duanchanghong (Yearning Heartbroken Red) successfully recognized a master or not, it could still be used to refine Eight Immortals Pills. If it didn't give him face, he would simply let it be "humanely destroyed."
An Encounter in Sunset Forest
In the Sunset Forest, within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After a spatial fluctuation, Zhao Ling appeared directly here. He leisurely strolled through the valley, his eyes scanning everywhere. He found that after some time, many medicinal herbs had matured, so Zhao Ling directly plucked the ripe ones. Unexpectedly, after Zhao Ling finished wandering through the valley and was about to leave, he encountered Dugu Bo.
Upon seeing Zhao Ling, Dugu Bo's face immediately lit up with joy. "Demon Suppressing Doulou, long time no see! My granddaughter has been mentioning you every day recently, saying you've been missing for a long time. I wonder if you have time this weekend to come to my humble abode for a casual meal?"
"Uh..." Zhao Ling looked at Dugu Bo's eager smile, thought for a moment, and nodded. "Of course I have time. However, Poison Douluo, are you sure you want me to come to your house? You should be clear about what your precious granddaughter thinks of me. I'm a... scoundrel. Aren't you afraid she'll be... by me?"
