"How dare you criticize me? Don't you sometimes come here alone to whisper secrets with Qingling?"
"Alright, alright, stop bickering here, it's not appropriate."
"Okay, okay."
"I wonder what Qingling's mother will think..." Xiao Wu lowered her head. Perhaps no one was more distressed than Gu Yuena at this point.
Knowing her daughter's condition was dire, she could only remain in the Lake of Life; revealing herself would surely incur divine punishment.
Little did she know, the divine realm already knew, but had not yet acted out of consideration for Chen Qingling's salvation of the continent.
Lake of Life.
Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts looked dejected, their former high spirits gone.
"Sigh..."
"Young Master was clearly unparalleled, why... why was she willing to sacrifice herself for the continent?"
"She was the young master of our Soul Beast lineage, she shouldn't have... Sigh!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, lest the Master hear you and grieve alone. The young master's matter has been a huge blow to the Master."
"Didn't Bi Ji send word that the young master was only in her cocoon and still has a glimmer of hope?"
"But how long has it been?" Di Tian sighed deeply, "The Soul Beast lineage had a bright time, but I failed to cherish it, and only regretted it after losing it."
"If God gave me a chance to start over, I would definitely persuade the young master not to do anything foolish."
"Di Tian... don't blame yourself too much, this is not something we can change."
What has happened will happen again, what has been done will be done again!
At the bottom of the Lake of Life.
Ever since receiving news of her daughter's sacrifice for the continent, Gu Yuena had been unable to settle down to recover and often spaced out.
"Daughter…"
"We finally had a chance to be together, but now we're separated by death…"
"It's my fault, trapped in the Lake of Life, unable to leave."
"If… if I could be by your side, this wouldn't have happened…"
Gu Yuena was heartbroken.
…
Four Elements Academy.
Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing sat on either side of the white cocoon, gently kneading it.
"Qingling, can you hear me? If you can, can you respond to me?"
"Respond to me, Sister Qingling." As soon
as the words fell, an unexpected event occurred!
The white cocoon suddenly burst forth with vitality, drawing the attention of Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu.
Ning Rongrong's face lit up with ecstasy. "This...is this a sign that Qingling is about to break free from her cocoon?"
"I don't know, but the sudden burst of life from the white cocoon is definitely a good thing!"
"It's probably not long before Sister Qingling breaks free."
"That's wonderful!"
"We should tell Bing'er and the others the good news, so they won't grieve alone."
"Yes, ever since Qingling emerged from her cocoon, Shui Bing'er has become taciturn, holding the ice flower in a daze. She's just as worried as we are."
Although the white cocoon hasn't broken free yet, it's still good news.
Soon, news of the burst of life from the white cocoon spread throughout the Four Elements Academy.
Instantly, those who were close to Qingling came to stop and watch.
Shui Bing'er held the ice flower in her hands, her expression a mixture of indifference, sorrow, and joy.
"Has Qingling really changed? Is she really saved?"
"Bing'er, don't worry, Qingling's white cocoon suddenly has a strong vitality, it should be developing in a positive direction, there really is a glimmer of hope."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" "
Bing'er, really, you've been so cold all day, not at all..." Ning Rongrong stopped abruptly, her meaning was already clear, there was no need to be too absolute.
Shui Bing'er was silent for a moment, "I know."
As soon as she finished speaking, the white cocoon changed again, suddenly shattering.
A beautiful figure that several people had longed for came into view.
Chen Qingling had pale golden wings on her jade back, containing divine charm, and a dragon-shaped pattern could be vaguely seen.
Three thousand silver hairs fluttered in the air, beneath which was a stunningly beautiful face, fair with a rosy glow.
Tall and slender, she wore a white dress that hugged her proud figure. She
was no longer the ordinary person she used to be.
Her whole person had undergone a complete transformation.
"Qingling!"
"Sister Qingling!"
"Waaah, Qingling, I miss you so much! I can't stand being without you for even a moment!"
"Yeah, without you, I feel like my life is completely dark, without a glimmer of light."
"Qingling...you're finally back." Shui Bing'er's eyes were filled with tears, her expression excited.
"Hey, Qingling, how come you...suddenly...have grown so much..."
Chen Qingling smiled, "What? Don't you want me to grow bigger?"
Then she blinked, looked at Ning Rongrong and the other two girls, and said with a mischievous smile, "Oh~"
"I know, you're not jealous of my amazing figure, are you?"
Ning Rongrong and the others chuckled upon hearing this, rolling their eyes at Chen Qingling.
"Qingling, what are you saying?"
"Yeah, Qingling, you're so mean!"
"Qingling, what were you doing during your cocoon transformation? We were so worried about you, afraid... that something might have happened to you."
"I was completing the Butterfly God's divine test, inheriting the Butterfly God's divine position, and becoming much stronger."
Then, Chen Qingling displayed her unique Butterfly God's divine power.
Perhaps because the Butterfly God's space was different from the outside world, Chen Qingling suddenly discovered that her divine power was mixed with something.
"Strange..."
"What's wrong? Qingling? Is there a problem?"
When Qingling said "strange," Ning Rongrong and the others' hearts jumped.
"Don't worry, I just feel that my divine power is mixed with a force, a force I've never seen before."
Chen Qingling calmed down and carefully examined it, following this force further, tracing it back to her martial soul.
"Ah!"
"What now! Qingling, can you stop being so dramatic? It's scary."
"I... my martial soul..."
"What happened to your martial soul?"
"My martial soul has mutated!"
This time it was Ning Rongrong and the others' turn to be surprised.
"Ah?!"
They've already become gods, and their martial souls have mutated?
This... this isn't right!
Why mutate now, why not earlier, why later, of all times, after becoming a god?
"My martial soul... mutated into the Light Dragon God Butterfly."
"The Light Dragon God Butterfly?"
"Dragon?"
Xiao Wu's pupils shrank sharply, then she remembered that Qingling's mother was the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena!
So that's why she hadn't had any bloodline power!
Qingling had to face death and emerge from her cocoon to become a god in order to awaken her bloodline power!
"Sister Qingling, can you feel your bloodline power?"
After Xiao Wu's prompting, Chen Qingling carefully sensed it and indeed felt her bloodline power.
"Yes! Yes! I have bloodline power!"
"Hahaha!" Chen Qingling was as happy as a child, without any adult demeanor.
All along, she had kept this question hidden deep in her heart.
Whenever she thought about it, she felt very strange, as if she wasn't Gu Yuena's daughter.
After all, if it were true, she shouldn't lack bloodline power.
But now her martial soul has mutated into the Radiant Dragon God Butterfly, and she also possesses bloodline power.
What a wonderful surprise!
At the same time, Chen Qingling recalled what the Butterfly Goddess had said:
"Transformation from pupa to butterfly," her situation was special.
This must be what she was referring to!
Xiao Wu: "Heaven rewards the diligent! Congratulations, Sister Qingling! You also have bloodline power!"
Immersed in joy, Chen Qingling momentarily forgot about me.
After some time, Chen Qingling came to her senses, remembered something, and asked,
"By the way, how long did I spend in my cocoon?"
"Three years."
"Three years? I thought it would be much longer..." Chen Qingling repeated, then belatedly realized what she meant, her eyes widening.
"Ah? Young Master Duo?!"
"Three years?"
She had spent so much time completing the divine test and inheriting the divine position in the Butterfly God Space?
How come she didn't feel anything?
Time really did fly by!
"Yeah, three whole years! Qingling, do you know how we spent those three years? It felt like an eternity!"
"Sister Qingling, you're so great! You didn't even tell us before choosing to sacrifice yourself to save the continent."
"Exactly! Exactly! Qingling, you're so selfish! You didn't even tell us."
Chen Qingling pouted, crossed her arms, and said weakly, "I just..."
"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to bear it, so I chose to take this gamble alone."
"Hmph!"
"Um... what happened when I transformed into my cocoon? Rongrong, please tell me in detail."
"Okay, okay!"
Then, Ning Rongrong and the other two girls slowly recounted the story to Qingling.
Hearing that her father had come in person, Chen Qingling looked astonished and shocked.
"Huh?"
"My father came in person?"
"Wasn't he living in seclusion in a thatched hut? How did he get involved in worldly affairs?"
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes. "That's a good question. Don't ask that again. We wouldn't be able to answer it anyway."
"Hahaha." Chen Qingling chuckled dryly. "Don't be sullen. I'm back now."
"What I promised, I can still fulfill now."
Qingling could sense that Ning Rongrong and the others were still upset with her.
"That's more like it. I've been waiting for you to say that, Qingling."
"Hehehe, Sister Qingling really hasn't forgotten."
Chen Qingling proudly raised her head. "Of course! A promise must be kept. How can I go back on my word? Don't you all agree?"
"Hmm, Qingling, I also have something about your father... I know something else."
"What is it?"
Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, "Qingling, do you remember the little sister you took in?"
"Oh, Rongrong, you mean Chu'er? What happened to her?"
"Your father graced the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with his presence and personally accepted Chen Chu'er as his disciple."
"What?!" Chen Qingling was immediately dumbfounded. She wasn't unaware of Chu'er's situation.
She had witnessed Chu'er awaken her martial soul; she was an ordinary person without a martial soul.
Yet, her father accepted her?
This... this is too strange!
Could it be that her father had some way to awaken Chu'er's martial soul?
"Did my father find a way to help Chu'er awaken her martial soul?"
Ning Rongrong shook her head. "No, he taught her swordsmanship."
"Swordsmanship?"
Chen Qingling was even more confused.
What was all this about?!
Not awakening her martial soul, but teaching her swordsmanship instead?
What was her father up to?!
Chen Qingling didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.
After a moment's thought, she understood. After all, he was her father.
He could come up with all sorts of unconventional methods, which couldn't be judged by ordinary standards.
"Your father also uttered a profound saying."
Chen Qingling's eyes lit up. Her father's profound saying?
She had heard it since she was a child, and she always benefited greatly from it.
"What is it!"
"Does choosing a disciple require looking at talent? Perhaps, but I don't think so."
"Talent? It's just that the master wants to be lazy, or wants to use the disciple to leave a name."
"Whoever wants to learn my swordsmanship, I will teach."
Chen Qingling: ...…
What a pretentious father!
Is this still the father she remembered? Is this still the father who only knew how to avoid the world?
Something felt off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
...
The God Realm.
The five enforcers who had been closely following the Douluo Continent were shocked.
"I never expected... Chen Qingling would actually have a chance to be reborn, and through that, inherit the Butterfly Goddess's position."
"What's even more unexpected is that her martial soul mutated, becoming the Light Dragon God Butterfly, and she possesses bloodline power."
The Asura God sneered, "See? This is an indisputable fact; Chen Qingling is the child of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena."
"She doesn't even have a dragon; she must be her own flesh and blood!"
"What? Asura God, you still want to kill Chen Qingling?"
"Don't forget she's already a god in our God Realm."
The Asura God's face darkened, and he clenched his fists, suppressing the hatred in his heart.
"Does becoming a god in the God Realm mean you can distance yourself from Chen Qingling's identity? Even a god can't hide the fact that she's the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's own flesh and blood!"
The Asura God said, each word distinct, clearly intending to kill Chen Qingling.
But was that possible? Was it realistic?
Absolutely not! "That's completely unrealistic!
Even if Chen Qingling hadn't become a god, the God Realm couldn't handle her.
What's more, now that she's a god, her martial soul has mutated, and she possesses bloodline power.
With these three enhancements, Chen Qingling's strength has reached an extremely terrifying level, far surpassing the level of a God King.
" The God of Life sighed softly, "Alas... why bother... when will this cycle of revenge end? It will only cause more bloodshed. It's better to show leniency."
At this point, the God of Asura couldn't hold back any longer.
"What do you mean by 'when will this cycle of revenge end?' What do you mean by 'causing more bloodshed'? Show leniency? That's a joke!"
"Is that even possible? Don't forget, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena will definitely seek revenge on the God Realm!"
"And how could her child stand idly by? The mother and daughter will surely join forces to storm the God Realm!"
The God of Destruction remained silent.
Despite disliking the God of Asura and his lover's sharp tongue, he suppressed his anger.
The God of Asura was absolutely right; as enforcers of the God Realm, it was their duty.
"Let's vote and see which option gets the most support." The God of Kindness stepped in to smooth things over; this was the best solution without causing offense.
"Alright!"
"Raise your hand if you agree to let her go."
Immediately, only the Gods of Kindness and Life raised their hands.
Seeing this, the God of Kindness no longer needed to ask for those who agreed to kill Chen Qingling; the situation was clear.
"In that case, we should devise a detailed strategy." "
We have witnessed the strength of Chen Qingling and her father; they are no small matter. The God Realm must do everything in its power to deal with them."
...
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Chen Shenge, who was instructing Chen Chu'er on swordsmanship, seemed to sense something and narrowed his eyes.
"Girl…"
