Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-422

--- Chapter 419 ---

Mount of Thirteen Pillars, Uchiha Clan's Residence.

Uchiha Madara stared at Yunlong silently.

"Do you know how long I've stayed in this world?"

Yunlong tilted his head and smiled, "I don't know, over three years?"

"Yes, over three years, nearing four." Uchiha Madara responded with a quiet nod. "People said time could change a man, and I experienced it first hand."

"I met two good women, married them, and have kids here."

"I've built a new family, a new Uchiha Clan."

"So, you no longer have attachment to your homeworld?" Yunlong asked while sipping his tea. He could see that his words affected the Ghost of Uchiha a bit.

Although the reaction is negligible, Uchiha Madara couldn't hide it from Yunlong.

Uchiha Madara stayed quiet as his eyes drifted from Yunlong to the outdoor sight. Three kids are playing around with a nine-tailed fox, chasing it with joy on their faces.

Yunlong glanced at the kids and thought, 'Maybe I expected too much.'

He's not here to antagonize Madara, after all.

If Uchiha Madara doesn't want to go, so be it. He's one of Bright Spirit Empire's great generals, which means to stay here alone is his duty.

"I will be waiting at the Bright Spirit Palace. You have one day to think about my offer." Yunlong stood up and exited the room.

"Also, thanks for the tea. Your skill is not bad."

The corner of Uchiha Madara's mouth twitched. He doesn't take Yunlong's compliment to heart because his tea-making skill is horrible compared to people like Dugu Bo(Poison Douluo) and Jin Eyu(Golden Crocodile Douluo).

On his way out, Yunlong met Madara's wives in the hallway, Shui Xing'er and Gu Daoling.

"Your Majesty." They greeted him.

Yunlong waved his hand, "Sorry for disturbing your morning."

Gu Daoling shook her head gently and responded, "It's alright, we understand. Your Majesty must have something important to tell our husband."

"Mm." Shui Xing'er nodded beside her.

Yunlong chuckled, "It's not that important. Then, I won't waste more of your morning."

"Goodbye." A portal appeared before Yunlong, and he stepped into it, leaving Madara's wives alone in the hallway.

Shui Xing'er and Gu Daoling glanced at each other. They wondered what the Emperor of the Bright Spirit Empire talked about with their husband.

If the Emperor came to their humble residence personally, it wouldn't be a small matter.

"Let's go!" Shui Xing'er dragged her sister-wife to their husband's room.

Gu Daoling had a helpless expression as she let Shui Xing'er drag her along.

...

Yunlong returned to the palace and swaggered his way to Bibi Dong's office. However, he was surprised to find none other than Bibi Dong from the alternative universe, Dong Chan.

"What are you doing here?" Yunlong asked in confusion.

Dong Chan awkwardly sorted some documents and answered, "Well, my current duty is to replace Bibi Dong. I've done this for a few weeks, nearing a month now."

"Is that so?"

Yunlong did recall Bibi Dong saying she was sharing her burden with Dong Chan. He didn't expect Dong Chan to replace Bibi Dong as the fake Empress.

But thinking about it, Dong Chan is a better replacement. Her strong and kind-hearted nature allowed her to become a better ruler for the Bright Spirit Empire.

Yunlong isn't saying Bibi Dong is bad or anything, okay. Dong Chan is just more compassionate.

"How is the world so far?" He grabbed a seat.

Dong Chan smiled and replied, "Great. I don't feel suffocated like before anymore. The fair feels just right."

"This world is much nicer than mine..."

Yunlong listened silently and was pleased Dong Chan could adapt to the new environment. "What about your God's Seat, feels anything weird?"

Dong Chan sighed, "About that... I can't seem to use my Rakshaha God's powers anymore."

"I can still use my Martial Soul and Demi-God's level of strength, though."

"That's normal. Our worlds might be similar, but the laws are slightly different." Yunlong returned with a keen gaze. "I believed one of my maids took Sea God's Divinity and made it hers, causing her to become a new god."

"Wait, that's possible?" Dong Chan was speechless.

Yunlong nodded and continued, "Yes. Unfortunately, Xue Nu(Snow Empress) is still consolidating her strength, or I would call her to demonstrate her experience."

"Still, I have a better proposition for you."

"Before that..."

"Bibi Dong, you can come in. This plan has something to do with you, after all." Yunlong sighed while covering his face with a random document.

Bibi Dong walked inside and greeted them with a small smile, "Morning."

"So what plan?" She took a seat near Yunlong.

Yunlong lifted the document on his face and said, "Twin Gods' Positions."

Bibi Dong and Dong Chan's eyes widened slightly. "Is that even possible?"

"Theoretically, applicable."

"Before I went to Kaguya's homeworld, I wanted to increase everyone's strength first. I can't just leave and throw things at my subordinates without equipping them with armor and weapons, no?"

"That's true." Bibi Dong and Dong Chan agreed with his statement.

Yunlong picked another document and said, "That's why I created the Gemini Initiation Plan."

"When did you plan something like this?"

"On my way back from the Uchiha Clan's residence."

"That's a few minutes ago."

"Yup."

"..." Bibi Dong.

"..." Dong Chan.

"I don't know if I should be impressed or horrified right now." Dong Chan commented with a complicated expression.

Bibi Dong giggled, "You will get used to it."

Yunlong didn't wait for them and explained, "Gemini Initiation Plan is a work to have two people with a shared God's Position. Like the Gemini constellation, one of you will be Pollux, and the other will be Castor."

"But to do this, you two need to get along..."

"The degree of synchronization must be high enough, higher than that of Spirit Fusion."

"We can make that work." Bibi Dong and Dong Chan said simultaneously.

They are essentially the same person, and you can't get more synchronized than that.

Yunlong used [Nathicaru: Lord of Abilities] and said, "Good, it seems you two are closer than I expected. First, let's solve Dong Chan's problem of not having God's Seat."

"Dong Chan, do you have an image of God's Seat you want."

"I still have some Divine Sparks left from the Douluo Dalu-101. You can even ask for a Martial Soul."

"Well, that's not fair. I also want a new Martial Soul." Bibi Dong leaned on Yunlong with a flirtatious look. "If you give Dong Chan a new Martial Soul, she will possess Triplet Martial Soul."

"Just like I've cultivated Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor to the limit. I barely met the lowest standard to use my Goddess of Love's power with their support as I developed Rakshasa God's power nearly my whole life."

"It's that bad?" Yunlong frowned a little.

Bibi Dong grinned, "Yeah. I think Dong Chan knows my feelings very well."

"Rakshasa God's power is dark and violent. If I'm not careful, I will get corrupted by the force of slaughter." Dong Chan grimaced. She couldn't help but shudder at the thought of becoming a murder machine due to her hatred.

"It's not for me."

"Hmm, I think I know what you need." Yunlong snapped his finger, and the surrounding wall warped into that of digitized codes. Bibi Dong and Dong Chan blinked, finding themselves in the middle of a grassland.

Two colorless orbs appeared before Bibi Dong and Dong Chan.

"Pick the orb and inject your energy into it." Yunlong's voice echoed in the area.

Bibi Dong picked up the orb immediately and injected her Divine Energy, causing the orb to release a pink glow. It was bright and beautiful.

Meanwhile, Dong Chan hesitated shortly before grabbing the orb with two hands. Since Dong Chan doesn't have Divine Energy, she can only use her Spirit Energy and Mental Power to inject the orb.

A glow appeared, but it was dimmer than Bibi Dong's. Not to mention, the orb only released a white color.

"Picture your desired Martial Soul. It can be tool-type, beast-type, and even body-type."

Bibi Dong and Dong Chan have twin beast-type Martial Souls, so they have gotten enough of it. They either chose tool-type or body-type Martial Soul for versatility.

After a while, Dong Chan surprisingly chose first.

She imagined something and let out a yelp, feeling something invade her soul.

BOOM!

[Ding! Dong Chan has chosen her Martial Soul]

[Body-type Martial Soul: Heart]
