Sea God Island!
Chen Yuan returned with his spoils. He couldn't help but marvel at how wealthy Tang San had been. Aside from the several soul bones on his body, there were even more stored in his spatial soul tool, totaling over ten pieces.
Although some of the soul bones overlapped in type, they were perfect for Chen Yuan's different girlfriends. Moreover, the quality of these soul bones was exceptional, with each being at least 20,000 years old.
If Chen Yuan had known that Tang San had wiped out the entire Clear Sky Clan, he wouldn't have been so surprised. During their years of seclusion, the Clear Sky Clan had rapidly accumulated five Title Douluos, and these soul bones had played a crucial role. They were all obtained from hunting ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
In addition to the soul bones, Tang San's Twenty-Four Bridge Moon Night contained a large number of hidden weapons and their blueprints. However, the most important items, such as the Profound Heaven Treasure Record and the secret techniques recorded within it, were not left behind. Tang San, distrustful of everyone, had memorized everything and left no written records.
Chen Yuan, however, wasn't concerned. If these techniques were lost, so be it. It wouldn't hinder his progress or the development of civilization.
On the other hand, the dozen or so soul bones were distributed to Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. After absorbing them, they all reached the high-level Soul Douluo stage, not far from becoming Title Douluos.
Time flew by, and two years passed in the blink of an eye!
During these two years, Chen Yuan spent most of his time cultivating on Sea God Island. However, he would occasionally return to the mainland to check on the situation and ensure nothing spiraled out of control.
On the surface, the continent appeared peaceful, but beneath the calm, undercurrents were stirring. The two great empires were preparing for war, with their sights set on the Spirit Hall. The Heaven Dou Empire, due to the emperor's poisoning and the crown prince's disappearance, harbored deep hatred for the Spirit Hall. As for the Star Luo Empire, it had long desired to unify the continent. However, the Spirit Hall had always been an obstacle. Now, they saw an opportunity to first destroy the Spirit Hall and then conquer the Heaven Dou Empire.
The soul master world was also in turmoil. Among the Seven Great Clans, the Clear Sky Clan had sealed itself off, with rumors even suggesting it had been wiped out. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, under Ning Fengzhi's leadership, had deliberately kept a low profile. However, due to the indiscriminate recruitment of outer sect disciples, many spies had infiltrated the clan, leaving Ning Fengzhi deeply troubled. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was widely believed to have been annihilated, with only a few disciples surviving.
Various factions in the soul master world were vying for a re-ranking of the Seven Great Clans, leading to numerous violent conflicts.
In contrast, the Spirit Hall appeared indifferent, as if none of this concerned them.
In reality, the Spirit Hall was in disarray. Bibi Dong had been sidelined, and her subordinates had suffered heavy losses. As a result, the plans she had formulated could no longer be executed. Additionally, since Qian Renxue had not yet reached her full strength, she had not stepped forward to take charge. Thus, the Spirit Hall remained inactive.
At this point, as long as either Bibi Dong or Qian Renxue became a god, the stalemate would be broken.
Currently, the Douluo Continent was in the calm before the storm. All it would take was a single thunderclap to unleash a torrential downpour.

On Sea God Mountain, inside the Sea God Temple!
After two years of cultivation, Dugu Yan, who had been absorbing the Sea God's divine power, had made rapid progress. She had nearly gained one soul power level per year, which was no small feat for someone who was already a Super Douluo.
From level 96 to level 97, it took her only one year. From level 97 to level 98, it took another year.
This rate of progress would have shocked anyone who heard about it. For example, the elders in the Spirit Hall's Elder Hall might spend years or even decades without gaining a single soul power level.
Now, having reached level 98, Dugu Yan finally took out the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's whale pearl that Chen Yuan had given her. Although most of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's power had been absorbed by Chen Yuan through its soul ring and soul bone, the essence of its power still remained within the pearl.
In the original timeline, Tang San had used this pearl to replace the shattered Sea God's Heart and make it the core of the Sea God Trident. This was because the pearl contained a portion of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's divine power as a million-year soul beast.
Previously, Dugu Yan hadn't dared to absorb it recklessly. But now, with her formidable level 98 soul power, she was ready to refine it.
According to Chen Yuan's speculation, successfully refining this pearl would likely promote the evolution of Dugu Yan's martial soul and help her better control water elemental energy.
Previously, Dugu Yan's Emerald Phosphorus Dragon's primary attribute was poison. Although she had later gained the ability to control water, it was mainly due to the Sea God's inheritance. After refining the pearl, she might gain an additional attribute.
On the three-tiered platform, Dugu Yan held the whale pearl in her hand. It wasn't hard but had a soft texture. After adjusting her condition to its peak, she swallowed the pearl.
Once inside her body, the pearl's outer layer broke under the repeated冲刷 of her soul power, releasing the energy within. The extreme water elemental energy surged like a tidal wave, spreading throughout Dugu Yan's body.
"Roar!"
A long roar, as if from ancient times, carried Dugu Yan's consciousness into the form of a Deep Sea Demon Whale, freely roaming the ocean. With its massive body and terrifying power, it dominated the seas, fearless and unrestrained.
Day after day, it grew stronger, moving from shallow waters to the deep sea, encountering no rivals. Its understanding of the ocean and control over water elements reached an unparalleled level.
After tens of thousands of years, it evolved from a Deep Sea Demon Whale into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Suddenly, everything shattered, and Dugu Yan's consciousness returned to her body.
It was like a dream. The memories of being the Deep Sea Demon Whale King quickly faded, but her understanding of the ocean and control over water elements were deeply engraved into her soul, forever remembered.
Dugu Yan's soul power had reached level 99. The pearl inside her body had transformed into a blend of emerald green and sky blue. Her Emerald Phosphorus Dragon martial soul had evolved into a dual-attribute form, combining water and poison, which could unleash even greater power.
Notably, Chen Yuan's divine body came from the inheritance of the Asura God's power. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, being 99% divine, had also imprinted its divine essence onto Dugu Yan through the pearl, allowing her to achieve a 99% divine body.
After all, the whale pearl, capable of replacing the Sea God's Heart, contained the divine power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Having absorbed all of this, Dugu Yan was undoubtedly the person closest to becoming the Sea God in this world.
