"Dear, now that we've obtained the Hanhai Universe Cover, can we receive the Sea God's legacy?"
Gu Yuena's eyes lit up. She held onto Dan Heng's arm and asked excitedly.
Even the Poison Douluo looked at Dan Heng with excitement.
Although there was no concrete evidence, he inexplicably believed—
As long as Dan Heng said something, it had to be true!
Even if Dan Heng claimed the Sea God's legacy was with him, he'd believe it without doubt!
Dan Heng gently shook his head and said:
"I don't know either. But typically, since he said he would place his legacy in the Hanhai Universe Cover, then it should at least be related to it."
Dan Heng didn't spell everything out.
Other gods might keep their word.
But Poseidon, the Sea God, was far too unreliable—who knew if he might change his mind?
Poison Douluo clapped his hands in excitement and said energetically, "That's good! Right now the Heaven Dou imperial family is working on locating the Hanhai Universe Cover. I expect it won't take long to find it. From what I gather, they want me to compete for it..."
His voice trailed off as he noticed Gu Yuena's expression and his excitement cooled.
"Don't tell me, Madam, you also plan to compete for the Sea God's legacy?"
Gu Yuena slightly shook her head. "Not me. Some of my friends."
Poison Douluo opened his mouth, then sighed.
"Looks like we don't stand a chance this time. With Mr. Dan Heng taking action, the Sea God's legacy will definitely end up with your side."
Gu Yuena smiled faintly without refuting him.
Of course—Poseidon always came to their house to mooch meals!
If she had known he intended to bestow his legacy, she could have simply asked directly.
Why bother competing with others?
Of course, since she and Dan Heng were a couple, doing so would mean she owed Poseidon a favor on Dan Heng's behalf. She would never do such a thing.
Unless Ziji were here—Ziji had no shame and could ask for benefits without a second thought.
At this moment, Gu Yuena started to appreciate Ziji's usefulness.
"Even so, I won't give up. A chance to become a god is too valuable—if I don't fight for it, it'd be a waste."
Poison Douluo quickly adjusted his mindset and said firmly.
Dan Heng responded with a light "Mm." "Just do your best."
Looking at Gu Yuena in his arms, he knew she was trying to help someone close to her gain an advantage.
If that was the case, perhaps he really should act.
Of course, he would never directly ask Poseidon.
That guy would definitely agree—but then Dan Heng would owe him a huge favor. Unnecessary.
After chatting for a while longer, with things quiet outside, Poison Douluo saw them off.
At Dan Heng's Home
At the dinner table, Gu Yuena was the first to bring up the topic of the Sea God's legacy.
"…That riddle felt so vague and confusing. I've thought about it all day but still can't guess the answer."
Bi Ji said softly, frowning in frustration.
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun exchanged glances—neither had any clue.
Though Gu Yuena was highly intelligent, even she couldn't keep up with Poseidon's strange way of thinking.
"I came up with many possibilities, like sincerity, clarity of purpose, and so on, but none of them fit completely..."
"Husband, you must know the real answer, right?"
Gu Yuena looked at Dan Heng and blinked with a smile.
Even if she couldn't solve it—she had a 'cheat code' after all!
Dan Heng said, "It's my name."
"My name?"
All four women looked at each other in confusion.
Dan Heng continued: "The answer to the riddle is my name—Dan Heng."
"!!!"
Only then did they react, all revealing shocked expressions.
"But… why would the Sea God do that? Does Mr. Dan Heng hold the Sea God's legacy? Or…"
Zhu Zhuyun blurted out without thinking.
The other three women had already guessed—Poseidon, the Sea God, was the same shameless freeloader who always came to their home for food and was constantly mocked by Ziji.
Dan Heng shook his head. "Maybe it's just a coincidence…"
As he spoke, his resolve to visit Poseidon the next day solidified.
He had to make that guy revoke the riddle.
If someone figured it out, he'd never know peace again.
"So what now? How do we obtain the Sea God's legacy?" Gu Yuena continued.
Dan Heng thought for a moment and said:
"Knowing that guy… I guess a new divine oracle might appear soon. We'll see then."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly and looked at Bi Ji.
"Bi Ji, you have to work hard and try to win the Sea God's legacy."
"Me?" Bi Ji looked unsure.
"You can do it!"
Gu Yuena nodded.
Bi Ji gave a nervous smile. Since Gu Yuena had spoken, she could only agree.
Zhu Zhuyun hesitated and asked, "Can I… compete too?"
"Of course."
Gu Yuena answered casually, not particularly concerned.
Zhu Zhuyun thanked her softly, lowered her head to eat, and a fire of ambition lit within her.
That Night
Since there was no intimacy, Dan Heng fell asleep early.
Gu Yuena behaved well and didn't try anything.
But once Dan Heng was "asleep," she quietly left the room.
She hadn't forgotten that scheming "old rival"!
If she didn't deal with her now, who knew what trouble she'd stir up next?
She used spatial divine power to instantly appear above the Crown Prince's residence.
At this time, Qian Renxue was not inside.
Gu Yuena slashed open another spatial portal and entered.
A moment later, a rift opened above the Spirit Hall.
Gu Yuena emerged from it.
She scanned the interior of Spirit Hall—
Soon, in one of the rooms, she saw her target: Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue was enjoying warm family time with Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong.
Gu Yuena snorted coldly. "Saves me the trouble of hunting them one by one."
The moment her voice fell, her figure flashed.
Inside the room—
The three were chatting casually, building bonds.
Qian Renxue, full of smiles, said, "With Mr. Dan Heng around, I'm sure I'll awaken godhood soon…"
Suddenly, divine light burst forth and Gu Yuena appeared out of nowhere.
She pointed at Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu.
Two ropes of light materialized in the air, shooting toward them and binding them tightly.
At the same time, frost rose from under their feet, rapidly freezing their bodies up to the shoulders.
The two powerful Title Douluo were completely immobilized.
"Who?!"
Qian Renxue was shocked and instantly released her Martial Soul.
Golden light flashed—her Angel Martial Soul appeared behind her.
She immediately grabbed the Angelic Holy Sword. Though she couldn't fully draw it, she still used it like a weapon, slashing toward Gu Yuena's neck.
Gu Yuena had deliberately waited. Otherwise, at Qian Renxue's level, she would've been suppressed in an instant.
With a casual grab, Qian Renxue seemed to willingly offer her neck into Gu Yuena's hand.
"Ugh…!"
Qian Renxue was lifted by the neck by Gu Yuena.
Divine power burst forth and instantly suppressed her—
Though Gu Yuena left her Martial Soul intact on purpose.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this to us?"
Qian Daoliu tried to remain calm, cautiously watching Gu Yuena.
He couldn't afford to panic. Gu Yuena had subdued him and Bibi Dong instantly—without a ripple.
They didn't even know who she was or why she was doing this.
In other words—their lives were all in her hands!
Bibi Dong stared at Gu Yuena, feeling an odd sense of familiarity.
But she didn't voice it aloud.
She knew—if she did, she might die even faster!
"Qian Yuhan, I didn't expect you to still be alive. Now that I'm here, what, are you not coming out to face me?"
Gu Yuena said coldly.
She deliberately altered her voice with divine power.
Her killing intent burst out, engulfing all three.
Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, already frozen, began to sweat despite the cold—drops of sweat ran down their faces and necks.
Qian Renxue was drenched in sweat, feet off the ground, looking at Gu Yuena in terror.
But she couldn't see anything—only felt utter helplessness.
Behind her, the Angel Martial Soul began to change. The once-blurry features became clearer—especially the eyes, which now seemed to carry a divine aura.
"Still not coming out, Qian Yuhan? Then I'll kill your successor!"
Gu Yuena said coldly.
She tightened her grip, causing Qian Renxue's body to twitch violently, her eyes bulging as if they might pop out.
"Don't…!"
Qian Daoliu had just spoken when his mouth was sealed by ice.
The same happened to Bibi Dong. The two of them could do nothing now, forced to watch helplessly as Qian Renxue fell into danger.
A faint divine aura began to radiate from the Angel Martial Soul.
Gu Yuena gave a cold snort and continued to squeeze, her icy gaze fixed on the Angel Martial Soul.
She was forcing the divinity within Qian Renxue to awaken completely.Always trying to get close to her husband?Then she'd add fuel to the fire!
Time seemed to slow down.
Qian Renxue's life force was draining bit by bit. Her eyes grew dull, and the spasms in her body became weaker and weaker.
She looked like she could die at any moment.
Suddenly—
The Angel Martial Soul couldn't hold back anymore and released a golden radiance.
In an instant, it filled the entire room.
A powerful divine aura exploded.
It merged completely with Qian Renxue.
Her pupils turned golden, and Gu Yuena's grip no longer had any effect.
Gu Yuena simply smiled faintly and stepped back.
Her body melted into the air and vanished into nothing.
At the same time, the ice binding Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong shattered instantly.
As the golden light faded, Qian Renxue collapsed to her knees, her chest heaving.
Her golden eyes were filled with fury.
"Damn it! Who ruined my breakthrough?!"
Qian Renxue clenched her teeth, divine aura still surging.
Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu looked at her with unfamiliar gazes.
Without a doubt, this Qian Renxue was no longer the same person they remembered.
Qian Daoliu hesitated and asked, "Xiaoxue… you… have you become our ancestor?"
Qian Renxue looked at him. The gold quickly faded from her eyes.
Her divine aura withdrew. Her body weakened, and she nearly collapsed.
Bibi Dong rushed to support her. "What happened?"
Qian Renxue rubbed her temples, her expression strange.
"I… I just fully awakened my divine nature. And… and I learned a secret…"
Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu leaned in curiously, asking in unison:
"What secret?"
Qian Renxue bit her lip and slowly said:
"I… I think… I might be the reincarnation of Qian Yuhan…"
"!!!"
Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu were instantly stunned.
Qian Yuhan—he was the Angel God from tens of thousands of years ago and the founder of Spirit Hall!
"This… this…"
Qian Daoliu was completely dumbfounded.
How was he supposed to face his precious granddaughter now?
Granddaughter? Or ancestor?
Qian Renxue held her forehead and sighed. "I… I need a moment to process this. It's too much…"
Before she could finish, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
The next day.
Dan Heng knew Gu Yuena had gone out for a while,But he didn't question where she went.
At noon, after eating with Gu Yuena, he took leave to go visit Sea God Poseidon's residence.
Although he was unrivaled in strength, Dan Heng wasn't particularly skilled at finding people.
He arrived at Poseidon's courtyard and knocked on the door.
No response from inside.
He spread out his spiritual sense.
The courtyard was empty—no one lived there anymore.
"Where did he go?" Dan Heng frowned slightly.
This unreliable Sea God had created a problem for him—only to go into hiding?
"Big Brother! Are you here to see the Sea God?"
A delighted voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Dan Heng turned to see—it was the Sea Witch.
She giggled and stepped forward, waving, "Big Brother, what a coincidence! I came to see the Sea God too, but he seems to have left long ago!"
Dan Heng nodded. "Yes, he's not here anymore."
The Sea Witch sighed and looked at the closed door.
"What a pity… Ever since he gave us that oracle last time, the Sea God's been completely off the grid again."
Dan Heng made a neutral sound. "Since he's not here, I'll take my leave."
The Sea Witch hurried after him. "Big Brother, won't you come visit us? The High Priestess really misses you—I mean, she wants to discuss the Sea God with you!"
She looked at him with wide, hopeful eyes.
Dan Heng politely declined, gave an excuse, and parted ways with her.
The Sea Witch pouted, watching his back with disappointment.
"Sigh, Big Brother's totally avoiding us…"
The Sea Witch returned to her place, looking despondent.
Bo Saixi noticed and curiously asked what was wrong.
The Sea Witch explained her encounter with Dan Heng.
Sea Horse Douluo curled his lip. "Sea Witch, get a grip. He's just a man—and he doesn't even have spirit power! Why get so hung up on him…"
Bo Saixi suddenly said, "You're wrong, Seahorse…"
"You see! Even the High Priestess says you're wrong! Stupid Seahorse! Big Brother is nothing like you say! He's super charming! Even the High Priestess agrees!"
The Sea Witch immediately perked up and fired back at Sea Horse Douluo.
"..." Sea Horse Douluo stared at Bo Saixi in shock and suspicion.
Had the High Priestess also fallen for Dan Heng's masculine charm?
"..."
Bo Saixi looked helplessly at the Sea Witch.
This foolish girl was damaging her reputation!
She sighed. "I meant—do you really think Mister Dan Heng is just some ordinary person? Why do you think the Sea God chose him? Use your brains…"
Bo Saixi let out another sigh. The isolation of Sea God Island… clearly meant she had no clever people around to advise her!
