"Ow, ow, ow."

Li Luochen winced as Dugu Yan pinched his face painfully. However, the physical pain was bearable—it at least allowed her to vent some of her anger.

"Yanzi, how do you know about Qian Renxue? Have you met her before?"

Li Luochen asked cautiously.

"Hmph! I've known about her for a long time. Did you think I didn't know that Grandpa had already joined the Spirit Hall as an Offering? He has no secrets from me—I just need to act cute, and he tells me everything.

Hmph! I met Miss Qian a long time ago. Sigh, I must admit, she's very beautiful. I never expected you'd already seduce her so quickly. Let me tell you, she's the last one. If there's another, be careful—I'll cut you off."

Dugu Yan extended her Green Dragon Terror Claw with her right hand and waved it near Li Luochen's lower body. Could Li Luochen dare to move? No, not even a little.

"I... I understand." Li Luochen broke out in a cold sweat yet again. Wasn't this supposed to be the continent of romance? Why was everyone so fierce?

"Also, don't even think about confronting Sister Qian about this. She and I have already conspired together. From now on, you only belong to us two. If you dare add another woman, watch out for yourself. Hmph!"

After saying this, Dugu Yan turned away, crossing her arms and sulking. She was still upset that Li Luochen had won over Qian Renxue so quickly—and worse, she had discovered it. How infuriating!

"That aside, Yanzi, let's go inside the room. I have something important to discuss with you."

Li Luochen decided to address the urgent matter first and then slowly console her later.

Dugu Yan had some guesses about what Li Luochen considered "important." She knew his personality well—when he said something was urgent, it truly was, not just a distraction.

With a cold humph, Dugu Yan walked into the room first.

Li Luochen followed her inside.

Inside the room, Li Luochen activated his Killing God Domain and erected a spirit power barrier. Then, he took out a golden left leg bone.

"Hmm? Isn't this the spirit bone we found in the Dragon Tomb in the Star Luo Empire? I remember this was the hundred-thousand-year Golden Crocodile Dragon's left leg bone. What are you planning to do with it?"

Dugu Yan glanced at the left leg bone. She didn't know what Li Luochen intended to do with it. They had acquired many treasures from the Dragon Tomb, but after leaving the tomb, they encountered so many other events that she had forgotten about it.

Seeing this spirit bone reminded her that there were still three top-tier spirit bones from the Dragon Tomb.

"Of course, it's for you to absorb. I remember you already have a left arm bone, skull bone, and right leg bone. You're still missing three parts. This left leg bone is for you. When you obtain your eighth soul ring, you can fill another part.

I'm only missing a right arm bone to complete my full set of spirit bones. Besides my left arm bone, which is a growth-type spirit bone, all my other spirit bones are at the hundred-thousand-year level. The torso bone comes from that dragon's body, and its strength boosted the years of my spirit bones."

Li Luochen recounted some of the events that occurred during his seclusion to Dugu Yan. Their hearts were connected, and she was someone he trusted completely. Li Luochen believed that even if he were to betray himself, Dugu Yan would never betray him.

"I understand. I'll absorb it now. I assume you've already gathered your team and are preparing to hunt soul rings in the Great Star Dou Forest soon, probably within the next few days. I'm currently at level seventy-eight and still need more than half a year to break through to Title Douluo.

This spirit bone should help me break through quickly."

Dugu Yan accepted the hundred-thousand-year Golden Crocodile Dragon left leg bone, pressing it against her left leg. The golden spirit bone emitted a brilliant glow before fusing into her leg. She sat cross-legged, beginning to absorb the energy of this hundred-thousand-year spirit bone.

Li Luochen stood guard while she cultivated. He was very familiar with the spirit bones on Dugu Yan's body, but there was one serious issue—the six-thousand-year Ink Jade Black Mamba left arm bone, one of the top-tier spirit bones Dugu Bo had originally obtained for her.

It was meant to store toxins, but after Dugu Yan evolved her martial soul twice, the role of the poison attribute diminished, making this spirit bone increasingly mismatched for her.

Li Luochen contemplated whether to find a hundred-thousand-year power-type sub-dragon left arm bone to replace it later. After all, he now possessed the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, which could help others replace limb spirit bones.

Li Luochen was somewhat OCD. Dugu Yan's skull bone, right leg bone, and the left leg bone she was currently absorbing were all at the hundred-thousand-year level. When they hunted the Azure Bull Python, they might obtain a hundred-thousand-year right arm bone.

The Ink Jade Black Mamba left arm bone, enhanced by the immortal herb Yearning Heartbroken Red, still fell short. Li Luochen felt it no longer matched Dugu Yan's status.

He believed Dugu Yan deserved a full set of hundred-thousand-year spirit bones. For her torso bone, he had already planned to give her the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, allowing her to inherit the Sea God's divine position on the Sea God Island. Her ninth soul ring would come from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, whose nearly million-year torso bone would be highly compatible with her.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had already evolved closer to a dragon-type soul beast, qualifying it as a sub-dragon species. Aside from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it was the highest-level soul beast, making it perfect for Dugu Yan.

Five hundred-thousand-year spirit bones plus a nearly hundred-thousand-year torso bone—Li Luochen was confident that Dugu Yan would inherit the Sea God's divine position. Combined with his own position as the Asura God and Qian Renxue's Angel God position, they would have three deities on their side.

They might even include Bibi Dong, who would become Li Luochen's mother-in-law, making her family too. With three Tier-1 gods and one God King ascending to the god realm, they would already form a significant force.

Li Luochen planned to bring some family members along to inherit Tier-2 god positions, and perhaps even Tier-1 god positions. By then, the Douluo God Realm might as well be called the Li Family God Realm.

However, even after entering the god realm, Li Luochen had no intention of seizing power. He supported the Destruction God King's plan to expand the god realm. There were still dozens of god years before the temporal chaos arrived, giving the god realm ample time to expand.

Once the god realm expanded, the collective strength of the gods would increase further, potentially creating more God Kings. Then, they could expand the god realm and devour the main character god realms that merged with the Great Divine Circle.

Li Luochen speculated that a "Divine Star" might be possible—a planet fused with the god realm, achieving eternal immortality.

Li Luochen could then live freely with his family.

He had already planned everything out. As for the current affairs of the Douluo Continent, he had nothing to fear. Backed by a God King, there was nothing on the continent to worry about except that giant dragon.

Tang San? Tang Hao? The Hao Tian Sect? A joke! A thousand enemies would mean a thousand deaths. Moreover, Tang San's opportunities had already been completely intercepted. Even if he had the fate to become a god, it wouldn't align with the original timeline because becoming a god wasn't exclusive to any single path—God Kings were gods, and Tier-3 gods were gods too.

As for Tang Hao, that clown wouldn't live much longer. After obtaining his eighth soul ring, Li Luochen planned to eliminate Tang Hao. He had long been irritated by Tang Hao's meddling.

It was better to get rid of him sooner rather than later. Plus, Tang Hao had six spirit bones on him, a significant fortune that could equip Li Luochen's own faction.

Afterward, he would find an excuse to destroy the Hao Tian Sect as well. Inheriting their legacy would greatly enhance the strength of Shrek Academy's teachers.

The title of "Number One Sect" had already disappeared when Tang Chen left. All that remained were arrogant individuals with mediocre strength. It was best to eliminate this conceited sect as soon as possible.
