Chapter 607: Long Yeyue: I’m Afraid Wulin Will Misunderstand

It wasn't just Gu Yue, or the Demon Empress—every woman connected to Xia Yi feared the day he regained the memories of his past life.

None of them knew what kind of person Xia Yi would become once he remembered who he used to be.

Looking at the pale-faced Demon Empress, Gu Yue smiled gently and tried to comfort her.

"Sister Hai Jun, this is our man. We should trust him. If he regains his past life's memories and chooses to abandon us, then he isn't worth our wholehearted devotion in the first place."

Xia Yi's facial muscles twitched hard.

Look who's talking! Weren't you the one crying from fear just a moment ago?

"Trust me—trust your man." Xia Yi pulled both the Demon Empress and Gu Yue into his arms. He knew he would have to face this day eventually. If he truly were to regain his memories, there would be no point in running away. Better to face it head-on.

"Husband, maybe I'm not as important to you as Sister Yue, but I still need to say this. Even if you regain your memories and no longer want me or the little Buddha, we'll still chase you to the ends of the earth. Even if we have to use force, we'll make you stay by our side."The Demon Empress raised her head and looked at Xia Yi. Her deep blue eyes were filled with unshakable determination. As the former leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, she had never been a woman to hesitate. Anything she desired, she would stop at nothing to obtain.

"Don't talk nonsense. In my heart, you are all equal. I'll never abandon you." Xia Yi vowed.

"Mhm!"

The Demon Empress nodded hard. At this moment, all she could do was choose to believe him.

Douluo Plane – Sea God Island.

Tang Hao, Ah Yin, Tang Wulin, Long Yeyue, Chen Xinjie, and Poseidon had all gathered.

In addition, the oceanic soul beasts loyal to the Sea God were assembled as well, with Devil Soul Great White Shark Xiaobai at the lead, standing faithfully behind Poseidon.

"Dong'er, Xinjie, let's begin. Once you become a god, we'll descend upon the continent and make Xia Yi and Leng Yaozhu pay the price for what they've done."

Long Yeyue's eyes burned with fanaticism. Poseidon was a first-tier god, just like her father-in-law Tang San.

To Long Yeyue, the Sea God represented invincibility.

She believed that once Poseidon became a god, he could crush everything around Xia Yi with ease.

"Yeyue…"

Chen Xinjie looked at Long Yeyue, wanting to speak, but hesitated. To help Poseidon become a god, he, a Limit Douluo, needed to sacrifice himself as a guide.

Even if it meant death, he had no regrets—because it would allow his ancestor to regain godhood.

But… he couldn't bear to leave Long Yeyue.

These days, even though they had been fugitives constantly hunted by the Sun Moon Federation like stray dogs…

To Chen Xinjie, this had still been the happiest time of his life—

Because he got to be with Long Yeyue every single day.

What could bring more joy than that?

Even though Long Yeyue never treated him warmly, she didn't drive him away either.

And to him, that was enough.

"Wulin's nearby. Don't call me Yeyue. I'm afraid Wulin will misunderstand.

What, getting cold feet now? Did you forget what you promised me last night?"

Long Yeyue looked coldly at Chen Xinjie. She had humbled herself and risked being misunderstood by Tang Wulin just to keep Chen Xinjie close—all for today.

If Chen Xinjie backed out now, then everything she had done would be for nothing.

"Yeyue, you know that's not what I meant."

Chen Xinjie hurried to explain.

"I just… I just can't bear to leave you."

"Cut the crap. What do you mean 'can't bear to'? Who are you to me? Let me remind you: I'm very much in love with Wulin, so I don't need your sentimentality!"

Long Yeyue snapped.

Damn you, Chen Xinjie! Didn't we agree last night? What are you talking about now?!She cursed him and his ancestors in her heart.

"I…"

Chen Xinjie was speechless.

Right. Tang Wulin was her legal husband.

"Yeyue, I, Chen Xinjie, am not afraid of death. If I couldn't marry you in this life, then that's my loss. But in the next life, no matter the cost—I'll marry you in grand style and make you my rightful wife!"

Chen Xinjie gave Long Yeyue one last lingering glance, then turned to walk toward the giant altar behind him.

The moment he stepped onto the altar, his Vast Ocean Martial Soul erupted, and nine soul rings appeared, transforming the surroundings into a vast ocean.

Boom!In the next instant, the ocean formed by his Martial Soul shattered, along with all nine soul rings around his body.

As the soul rings broke, the surrounding space warped wildly. Everything became surreal. Everyone's bodies were paralyzed, locked down by an unimaginably vast and majestic force.

Suddenly, intense golden flames ignited around Poseidon. The same flames also engulfed Chen Xinjie—the power released from his soul rings' destruction.

"Hmph, I'm destined to become a god with Wulin and live eternally with Tang San and Dong'er in the God Realm. There will be no next life for you and me."Long Yeyue showed no sorrow as she watched Chen Xinjie's body gradually disintegrate—her eyes were instead filled with ecstatic anticipation.

Poseidon showed no reaction.

To him, he had long grown numb to Chen Xinjie's fate.

For this many-generations-later descendant, he was very satisfied with the boy's cultivation talent.

But… at this age, why was the man still simping?

In Poseidon's eyes, this kind of death was a release for Chen Xinjie.

Gradually, Chen Xinjie's body faded into the golden flames. The surrounding energy turned violent. The flames converged before Poseidon, forming a massive flaming golden gate.

Though it looked like a gate, there was no real door—just an arch made of crimson-golden fire beckoning him forward.

Poseidon gripped the Sea God's Trident and stood atop the altar. Turning to the oceanic soul beasts behind him, he commanded:

"The God Realm is gone. I need more oceanic power. Reach Tang San across the distance and have him transfer the Sea God's divine position to me."

"As you command, Sea God!"

Devil Soul Great White Shark Xiaobai responded with blazing loyalty. Even before Poseidon finished speaking, she transformed into her true form and leapt into the ocean.

The soul beasts around her immediately followed suit, diving in from all directions.

Only after seeing this did Poseidon turn and step into the golden flame gate.

The moment he passed through, seven beams of light shot into the sky from seven directions around Sea God Island, then converged above and plunged into the flaming gate.

"They're all insane! All of them—they've gone mad!"

Not far from Sea God Island, a snow-white shark trembled violently.

It was Bai Xiu Xiu, daughter of the Shark King Xiaobai. From her vantage point, she could see her mother and the other oceanic soul beasts burning their lives and soul power to channel as much oceanic energy as possible into the light pillars.

"Don't you see? Your mother did this not only for Poseidon, but for you.She gave her all in loyalty to the Sea God, hoping he'd give you a hand after her death.But your mother overestimated him. When he became a god thousands of years ago, did he help you then? What makes you think he will now?

Don't forget—you rejected him before."

"Besides, even if he wanted to help you, he won't get the chance."

A cold voice sounded behind Bai Xiu Xiu. She turned quickly—A shadowy figure had appeared in the water behind her without her even noticing.

The woman's deep blue eyes were bright and penetrating. Her azure-blue hair floated with the sea current, her presence perfectly blending into the ocean.

Though she was only a step away, Bai Xiu Xiu was horrified to realize—If she hadn't seen her with her eyes, she wouldn't have sensed her at all.This woman was like a part of the sea itself.

Without hesitation, Bai Xiu Xiu opened her mouth and lunged with a ferocious bite—

Clang!

She slammed into what felt like a solid wall.

But—there was nothing in front of her but ordinary seawater.

"Who are you?!"

Bai Xiu Xiu was terrified. This woman's control over oceanic power… was on par with, if not beyond, Chen Xinjie's.

No—far beyond!

"You've probably heard my name: Lan Fozi."

The woman spoke softly.

"Daughter of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King? No way—you're only a hundred thousand years old. There's no way you're this powerful!"

Bai Xiu Xiu shook her head violently. As a member of the Sea God's mount race, the noblest oceanic race, of course, she had heard of Lan Fozi.

Even though Lan Fozi had only cultivated for 100,000 years, she was someone even Bai Xiu Xiu's mother would run from without hesitation.

Bai Xiu Xiu respected Lan Fozi's strength, but not to this extent.

"I reshaped my body and cultivated again. I'm now only one step from godhood."Lan Fozi smiled faintly. Nine soul rings emerged—five red, four orange-gold.

"You… you re-cultivated a human form?Are you here to stop the Sea God from becoming a god, or are you trying to steal the Sea God's position for yourself?"

Bai Xiu Xiu stared blankly at her, even forgetting to flee.

"What, are you going to stop me?"

Lan Fozi's voice was full of contempt.

"Do you even have the power to do that?"

"You talk like I even have a chance if I don't stop you.

You can try me if you want—even with you and your mother combined, you wouldn't stand a chance!"

Bai Xiu Xiu responded coldly.

One step from godhood?

Ha!

Don't forget—Poseidon has Tang San's parents watching over him.
