The 'Radiant Life' necklace, exuding an incredibly dense aura of vitality, complemented A Yin's long, flawless, and porcelain-like neck perfectly.
The couple exchanged a knowing smile, their display of affection radiating an overwhelming sweetness that made Bibi Dong, standing nearby, increasingly irritated. Without hesitation, she transformed into a third wheel, leaping onto Ye Wen like a tiger and clinging to him tightly.
Bibi Dong nuzzled against Ye Wen's ear, her voice dripping with coquettishness. "Dear husband, Ah Yin has a gift—what about me?"
Though they were an old married couple, Bibi Dong's bold actions still made Ye Wen feel somewhat awkward in front of the children. With a deft motion, he adjusted her position into a more modest embrace.
Seeing Bibi Dong grow even bolder, indulging in her desires without restraint, Ye Wen couldn't help but chide her with a wry tone.
"Don't worry, no one will be left out. I've brought gifts for everyone."
With that, Ye Wen transformed into something akin to Doraemon, pulling out one precious treasure after another.
Currently, the most skilled craftsman among the gods on Douluo Star wasn't some so-called God of Craftsmanship—it was Ye Wen, the Vast Sea God King. Due to the unique nature of his divine position, he had dabbled in every field imaginable, granting him abilities far surpassing those of ordinary gods.
However, Magic War Planet was, after all, a mortal-level planet. Even with Ye Wen's extraordinary abilities, it was impossible to forge ordinary materials into super divine artifacts in such a short time. Still, everything Ye Wen crafted reached the level of first-tier divine artifacts.
The entire family was delighted with their gifts, their faces beaming with joy.
As the saying goes, "A long drought meets a sweet rain."
That very night, Ye Wen received his reward.
The "Sevenfold Blessings" event officially commenced—
His Majesty, the Supreme Vast Sea God King, a five-star general, declared:
"There are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that get ruined from overuse.
Only children make choices; adults take everything they can. It's simply not scientific to do otherwise."
It took a full three days before Ye Wen finally emerged from the room.
Anyone familiar with Ye Wen would notice that he had visibly lost weight. As for why even the mighty Vast Sea God King appeared so drained, it was because during the "Sevenfold Blessings," the mischievous Goddess of Desire, Bibi Dong, had cunningly restricted Ye Wen's divine power. Forced to rely solely on his raw physical strength, Ye Wen engaged in a fierce battle with seven divine beings. Clearly, he had been defeated.
Though the wicked Goddess of Desire eventually lifted her restrictions, a loss was still a loss.
One versus seven—he had lost, but Ye Wen remained honorable in defeat.
At this moment, Ye Wen strode confidently like a victorious general—if one ignored the fact that he was clutching his lower back, the scene would have been quite impressive.
With the first shot of Ye Wen's plane war fired, Douluo Star truly entered a high-frequency era of interplanetary warfare.
Unfortunately, the number of expedition ships constructed was limited.
Thus, Ye Wen offered a suggestion to the gods eager to expand their faith:
"Go develop the uninhabited dead stars surrounding Douluo Star. There should still be valuable mineral resources there."
Ye Wen established two sets of rules for these expansion wars: public and private.
The public system was straightforward—expedition ships and personnel were funded by the official channels of the Holy Spirit Empire. Participants earned military merits based on their contributions, which could then be exchanged for various resources.
The private system catered to independent individuals who preferred freedom and autonomy.
After all, geniuses were often unruly, and some always forged their own paths.
Though few divine-level experts could organize expeditions independently, there were still some, as they often had backing from influential factions.
However, private expeditions came with hefty taxes.
After all, both interstellar technology and coordinates were provided by Ye Wen's official channels—there was no way they'd let anyone freeload.
Of course, whether public or private, certain rules had to be followed: no overexploitation allowed.
Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.
Thanks to the dimension-breaking armaments Ye Wen provided, which allowed mortal-level experts to ascend to godhood, subsequent expeditions went smoothly.
Still, remnants of the old god realm lingered.
Though the gods of the old god realm had once been as lazy as dead fish, they continued to cultivate a certain number of divine officials to fight against Ye Wen's soul masters for the sake of their faith.
Fortunately, Ye Wen's side held the advantage in terms of equipment, so overall, it was no big deal.
These dimension-breaking wars no longer required Ye Wen's personal involvement. He simply sat back and waited for the profits to roll in.
During this long period, Ye Wen finally found the time to pursue a complex research project he had long postponed.
It was the Divine Core Sharing Plan.
The fact that divine positions could be iterated upon already proved that divine cores weren't absolutely bound to a single individual.
But how to allow two or more people to simultaneously enter the rule-based world through a single divine core remained an unsolved puzzle for Ye Wen.
Because of this, a large number of divine officials on Douluo Star had accumulated over time. Though they received abundant faith energy to sustain them, preventing their demise from lack of divine power, wasn't the desire for greater strength an instinct for every cultivator?
Without the ability to generate divine power autonomously, one could never escape the constraints of their divine position. Some powerful individuals wished to use faith energy to break through to higher realms but were unwilling to abandon their hard-earned divine cores, creating a vicious cycle.
The same group of individuals remained true gods forever.
For Douluo Star's further advancement, and to satisfy those yearning even for the weak third-tier godhood, Ye Wen resolved to tackle this research head-on.
Progress was unexpectedly slow.
After all, this was a field even the Dragon God had never ventured into. Without any reference points, Ye Wen could only grope around blindly like a man feeling his way through the dark.
Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, 6,000 years had elapsed on Douluo Star.
By now, Douluo Star had fully entered the interstellar age.
However, because the red glow of the spaceships was somewhat eerie, Ye Wen instructed them to dock at neighboring planets instead. Otherwise, the entire Douluo Star would have looked strangely red.
In the ten-thousandth year since the founding of the Holy Spirit Empire, a historic event was about to unfold.
After a long hiatus, Ye Wen convened a press conference.
As the founder of this era and the supreme God King of Douluo Star, Ye Wen commanded the utmost respect from all soul masters. Any attempt to slander him would be swiftly dealt with by the Holy Spirit Empire's official channels.
Some of Ye Wen's most fervent devotees had already begun prostrating themselves in worship.
On the screen, Ye Wen's lips curled into a joyful smile.
"Rejoice, soul masters!
A new era has arrived!
From this point onward, anyone who ascends to godhood can continue cultivating without hindrance.
Why, you ask?
Because I'm here!"
