Everything on Douluo Star had fallen into place, and Ye Wen finally had time to focus on his own affairs.
Though intermarriage between humans and soul beasts had ceased to be news centuries ago, the underlying reasons for this trend remained a topic of speculation on Douluo Star. Why had such a custom suddenly emerged?
And today, the answer was finally revealed.
The Silver Dragon King, Yue Na—a god-level supreme ruler of soul beasts—had officially married Ye Wen.
This marked the arrival of an era where intelligent lifeforms on Douluo Star were unified.
Ye Wen delivered an important speech regarding this matter.
"If you wish to strengthen your martial soul's bloodline, there are two paths. Either dedicate yourself to relentless cultivation, and when you reach the rank of Soul Sage or Title Douluo, your martial soul may undergo a transformation.
Or marry a 100,000-year soul beast that has taken humanoid form.
Soul beasts that have cultivated to such levels possess top-tier bloodlines. In the absence of reproductive barriers, their first-generation offspring will inherit the extraordinary talents of either parent, instantly reaching the pinnacle.
However, I have set restrictions on this practice.
The rights of 100,000-year soul beasts must be protected. Soul masters cannot force or deceive these soul beasts into marriage; doing so will be considered a violation of the Holy Spirit Constitution.
Furthermore, these 100,000-year soul beasts entering human society will have their identities concealed and will be taught the norms of the human world to prevent any malicious incidents.
In this era, humans no longer harbor the same deep-seated prejudices against soul beasts as before, and they support these laws.
Moreover, since 100,000-year soul beasts hide their identities, who knows? One day, an ordinary soul master might just hit the jackpot. Commoners are especially delighted by this prospect.
As for why 100,000-year soul beasts are eager to take human form—
A human with top-tier talent might reach the threshold of godhood in just 100 years, whereas soul beasts require at least thousands of years to match the strength of a Title Douluo. Any 100,000-year soul beast with half a brain knows which choice is better.
Besides, if even their leader has embraced this path, and there is no absolute enmity between the two sides, it is natural to accept legislation beneficial to the 100,000-year soul beast community.
And I've provided all necessary benefits. If they still refuse, then they can rot away in the soul beast forest.
By the way, I haven't removed the heavenly tribulation rules for 100,000-year soul beasts on Douluo Star.
After all, altering such rules would consume a massive amount of divine energy, and I'm not about to waste my resources on something unnecessary.
Let the stubborn fools perish if they insist."
On the wedding night, the Silver Dragon King Yue Na, dressed in a pure white wedding gown adorned with delicate silver scales, sat on the grand bridal bed, waiting for Ye Wen's arrival.
{A/N: In the original works, the Silver Dragon King took the name 'Gu Yue Na'. In this story, she didn't give herself the family name 'Gu' and will be called 'Yue Na'}
*Creak—*
When Ye Wen entered, though he was already accustomed to Yue Na's stunning appearance, being alone with her still made his heart race uncontrollably.
But Ye Wen was no longer the inexperienced youth he once was. After calming himself, he sat across from Yue Na.
"Do you regret this?" Ye Wen asked softly.
Yue Na, forcing herself to remain composed, slightly raised her violet eyes.
"What?"
"As the sovereign of soul beasts, do you regret having to submit to a mere human like me?"
"You should know—human emotions mean nothing to me. All I seek now is to ensure the continuation of the dragon race.
Stop with these pointless tests. Come."
With that, Yue Na stood up and gently waved her hands, causing her wedding gown to fall away like the shell of an egg.
Looking at her flawless, pristine body, Ye Wen's eyes filled with admiration. This woman was truly the most perfect creation of the universe.
A fraction more would be excessive; a fraction less would seem lacking. Every proportion seemed meticulously calculated.
Her holy, silent dignity only heightened Ye Wen's desire.
But gazing into Yue Na's calm, unchanging eyes, Ye Wen sighed.
"Indeed, you are the rational half of the Dragon God. But let the past of the Dragon God end here today. Now is my era."
Ye Wen stood up, gently pushing Yue Na onto the bridal bed. The night passed in harmony, filled with immense pleasure.
The next morning, Ye Wen woke early.
Looking at the breathtaking beauty beside him, her silver hair cascading down and her face slightly flushed, Ye Wen gently kissed her forehead.
Regardless of the past, the Silver Dragon King was now his wife and would become an important pillar of support in the future. As long as she did not betray him, he would always be her steadfast protector.
Dragon God? Dare to mess with my wife, and I'll kill your other half!
Following Ye Wen's wedding, Douluo Star's overall development entered a stable and peaceful phase.
Soul masters driven by desires, including the aspiration to become gods, were now dedicating themselves to cultivation. Though becoming a god required reaching the rank of Title Douluo before the age of 50 to have even the slightest chance, hope remained.
After all, if one's cultivation truly reached such heights, both they and their family could transcend social classes.
Moreover, Ye Wen's policies strictly limited high-level soul masters from killing each other, further motivating common soul masters to cultivate.
During this time, Ye Wen was preparing for an unprecedented project.
He intended to forge a super divine artifact for himself.
Using the Sea God Trident, a relic of the Sea God, felt somewhat beneath his status as a God King.
But Ye Wen was clear about his role.
Frontline combat wasn't suited for him—he excelled in support.
Thus, the super divine artifact he planned to forge would be focused on auxiliary functions.
And this artifact would undoubtedly surpass the utility of the super divine artifacts held by the God Kings of the former god realm.
"How are the metals I need coming along?"
In his office, Ye Wen carefully drew blueprints while asking Lan Lan, his secretary who had entered to report on work.
Years had passed, and Lan Lan had also achieved god-level strength. Her figure had grown even more alluring, and with a pair of golden-rimmed glasses, she exuded maturity.
Seeing her master still treating her without mercy, Lan Lan rolled her beautiful eyes but obediently replied,
"Master, according to your requirements, the first batch of 10,000 tons of various metals has been prepared.
They've already been placed in the extreme northern region, awaiting your arrival to claim them."
Hearing this, Ye Wen nodded in satisfaction. His blueprint was finally complete.
Blowing gently on the drawing to dry the ink, Ye Wen admired his work.
"Begin the second phase soon. These metals won't last long."
Lan Lan nodded and prepared to leave to arrange the next steps.
But just before leaving, she cast a resentful glance at Ye Wen. Unfortunately, Ye Wen was too engrossed in his blueprint to notice her gaze.
