Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Since he had to return the Secret Manual, Chu Qin naturally could not bring it back to the Titan God Star Domain so quickly. During these ten days, under the guidance of Shi Tian Di, Chu Qin and the girls devoted themselves to studying the Supreme Divine Art.

Perhaps due to the shadow cast by the Qilin Brothers, this time Xiao Wu Ning Rongrong, Wang Qiu'er, and Bai Xiuxiu—the four old stubborns—also appeared exceptionally serious.

Within these ten days, they had grasped the most basic essentials. Undoubtedly, the one with the greatest harvest was Chu Qin. According to Shi Tian Di, the Titan God Power had nine levels, Chu Qin had already comprehended five, earning endless praises from Shi Tian Di.

"Grandpa Shenmu, I'll leave the Nine Dragons Star in your and Uncle Chijin's care during my absence," Ye Zixi said to the Shenmu Elder outside of Nine Dragons Star.

"Don't worry, Zi Xi, Nine Dragons Star is in good hands. You and friend Chu Qin, go to the Titan God Star Domain with peace of mind!" Shenmu Elder nodded.

"Elder Shenmu," Chu Qin, holding Ye Zixi's hand, said, "If anything happens to Nine Dragons Star, you can go to the Douluo Divine Realm and find a man named Golden Dragon King. I believe there's no one in the entire southwest corner who could be his match."

"Alright!" The Shenmu Elder nodded his head.

"Then let's go," Chu Qin said, and holding Ye Zixi's hand, he stepped onto the interstellar warship, while Xiao Wu and the others had already boarded it earlier.

Following that, under the drive of Chu Qin's Divine Power, the interstellar warship sped towards the depths of the universe, towards the central region of the universe.

"Elder Shi Tian Di, how far is the Titan God Star Domain from Nine Dragons Star?" Chu Qin asked.

"I don't remember that," Shi Tian Di replied, "Time in the universe is very vague, as it differs greatly from place to place. Moreover, I was chasing the Demon Emperor back then and didn't think too much about it."

"Asking is the same as not," Chu Qin sighed slightly. Then Ye Zixi took out a map, "Chu Qin, to enter the Central Domain, we must first go through a transit station in the starfield, Sky Dragon City! From there, there's an entrance to the Central Domain."

"Sky Dragon City? Zi Xi, have you been to the Central Domain?" Chu Qin asked.

"I haven't, but I've been to Sky Dragon City," Ye Zixi shook her head, "I have a close friend whom I met in Origin City, and her home is in Sky Dragon City. Sky Dragon City is a castle as vast as the stars themselves, linking the southwest corner and the Eternal River. Down the Eternal River, you can reach the Central Domain!"

"That's so complicated!" Chu Qin frowning slightly.

"My friend said that the energy differs in each part of the universe. To prevent the higher starfields from causing energy surges in the lower starfields, a Progenitor divided the universe into different starfields. Otherwise, the energy from the Central Domain flowing to our southwest corner would be too much to bear, and it would have fallen apart long ago!" Ye Zixi replied.

"What's a Progenitor?" Bi Bidong asked curiously. "More powerful than the Supreme Gods?"

"Progenitors are not a rank, but beings born with the Cosmic Void itself, all Progenitors are Supreme Gods," Ye Zixi replied.

"If Progenitors are all Supreme Gods, and moreover, they all possess eternal life, then why have Supreme Gods become legends in the universe?" Xiaowu asked.

"Because the universe is changing and energy is depleting, some higher-tier Supreme Gods can only hide away in caves to meditate!" It was then that Shi Tian Di's voice rang out.

"Who's speaking?" everyone asked in surprise.

"Don't be nervous, it's Shi Tian Di!" Chu Qin said with a slight smile. He hadn't expected Shi Tian Di, who previously only conversed with him, to start speaking to Xiaowu and the others now.

"Shi Tian Di, a Supreme God!" everyone exclaimed in shock.

"Yes," Shi Tian Di answered, "you asked why Supreme Gods only exist in legends and are so rare. It's because of energy. Without sufficient energy, Supreme Gods can only slumber. Furthermore, since the birth of the universe, countless wars have erupted, and most Supreme Gods perished in these wars. The rest are like me, just broken bodies."

"Ah! How pitiable that Supreme God must be!" Qian Renxue frowned delicately.

"Of course, what I spoke of pertains only to those Supreme Gods equivalent to living fossils; if one were a newly ascended Supreme God, at the very least, they could revel in bliss for twenty billion years. Take me, for instance, I have been a Supreme God for several billions of years!" Shi Tian Di laughed heartily.

"Twenty billion years, I don't even need to live that long, a billion years would be enough for me," Chu Qin said with a light smile.

"Hehe, Chu Qin, my friend, you are mistaken, who would ever lament their own longevity?" Shi Tian Di said with a chuckle.

"But indeed, having lived for several billion years, one tires of everything. One only thinks of benefiting their descendants!" Shi Tian Di remarked, "Therefore, Chu Qin, my friend, you must swiftly return these treasures to the Giant God Race. Without the augmentation of Titan God Power, the current Giant God Race will find it hard to compete against those superior starfields!"

"Senior Shi Tian Di, since these items are so precious, why haven't you made imprints of them?" Life God King inquired.

"Supreme Divine Arts generally cannot be imprinted. They are etched onto special substances formed by the universe itself. Thus, they must be the most original forms in order to practice them. Otherwise, at best, it would be useless, and at worst, it would lead to disastrous consequences!" Shi Tian Di explained, "Therefore, Chu Qin, my friend, if you wish to learn them, you can only practice with the original versions. Memorizing them or making imprints would be in vain!"

"Senior Shi Tian Di, if you put it that way, how could I easily give them back to the Giant God Race!" Chu Qin spoke the truth.

"You are different!" replied Shi Tian Di, "You have mastered two Supreme Divine Arts and have already merged with the universe. So, as long as you memorize it, you can practice it. As for your women, I'll teach you a method!"

"What method?" Chu Qin and the ladies asked.

"You can inscribe this Supreme Divine Art onto your body, which will have the same effect!" Shi Tian Di replied.

"Ah!" Chu Qin exclaimed in surprise, "This will work?"

"Hmm, as I've said before, you have merged with the universe, counting as one of the universe's purest, original substances; as a result, inscribing the Supreme Divine Art on you is the same as on stone tablets or scrolls. However, remember, you must never reveal this secret, or else you will attract some unnecessary troubles."

"What troubles?" Xiao Wu asked.

"You might be turned into a specimen!" Shi Tian Di replied.

"Alright, I understand!" Chu Qin paused, "It means, I must inscribe the Supreme Divine Art on my body, and then let Xiao Wu and the others practice it!"

"Exactly, exactly!" nodded Shi Tian Di.

"Moreover, it must be written with your blood!" Shi Tian Di added.

"Senior Shi Tian Di, you wouldn't be setting up my Chu Qin, right?" Gu Yuena frowned slightly.

"How could that be! I treat Chu Qin as my own kin, how could I harm him!" Shi Tian Di replied, "There's another reason for using Chu Qin's blood; given his vast Qinglong Bloodline, the inscription would remain unaltered for eternity!"

"Then, Life, your turn!" Chu Qin paused, then looked over at the Life God King, "You have good handwriting!"

"Alright!" The Life God King nodded.

Subsequently, Chu Qin released some of his cherished blood to serve as ink, allowing the Life God King to use a brush to engrave the Supreme Divine Art on his back.

The Life God King, gifted in his craft, swiftly completed the inscription of the entire Supreme Divine Art on Chu Qin's back.
