Chapter 744: 731 The Douluo Divine Realm is not what it used to be_1
"What do you mean by conquering the Human Emperor?" Chu Qin said indignantly, "It was clearly Aunt Ina's identity that conquered her."
Yue Yina smiled without a word, while Xiaowu covered her mouth and laughed, "I don't think so."
"Exactly, I bet it won't take a month before Murong Linger becomes one of our sisters," Ning Rongrong added.
"I bet twenty days, five million Divine Core Energy Crystals!" Zhu Zhuqing declared.
"Then I bet ten days, ten million Divine Core Energy Crystals," Luo Yiyi countered.
"Enough!" Chu Qin said, unable to stay angry, "It's all given by me anyway, what's there to bet on?"
With that, the women fell silent.
At this moment, Asura and the Sea God came before Chu Qin and knelt down, saying, "Thank you for saving our lives."
"Asura, Poseidon, there's no need for this," Chu Qin replied, "Without you and the other gods passing on the divine positions, we couldn't have reached this step so quickly."
Asura shook his head, "One thing doesn't change another. Chu Qin, you saved our lives. From now on, these two lives are yours."
"Since you put it that way, there's nothing much I can say. From now on, just follow me," Chu Qin said. "By the way, Asura, how did you two end up in the Emperor Beast Star of the Central Domain?"
"Ah, it's a long story," the Asura God King began. "After leaving the Divine Realm, the Sea God and I intended to wander the Void. However, we got involved with a power in the Southwest Corner and ended up being captured by an Emperor Beast named Chi You."
"What? Chi You captured you?" both Chu Qin and Gu Yuena exclaimed in surprise. They were familiar with Chi You; in the Yin Polar Star System, it was Chi You who had given the Tyrant Beast Mad Blade to Chu Qin.
"Yes," the Asura God King nodded.
"Where is Chi You now?" Chu Qin inquired.
Poseidon shook his head, "We don't know. After Chi You brought us to the Emperor Beast Star, he disappeared. And the Sea God and I were treated as spies with unclear origins and were wanted by the Human Emperor."
"Asura God King, I didn't expect you to be in such a sorry state," said the Lazy King of Gods, "You don't know, but on the first day Lord Chu Qin came to the Divine Realm, he killed the God King of Destruction, subdued the Golden Dragon King, and then Lord Chu Qin annihilated the Yin Ji Star System and the Xiao Organization, leading us to fight all the way from the Southwest Corner to the Central Domain."
"Ah!" Both the Asura God King and the Sea God let out long sighs.
"It's okay, Asura, Poseidon," Chu Qin said with a smile, "From now on, rejoin the Douluo Divine Realm."
"Is there still a place for us in the Divine Realm?" the Asura God King and the Sea God asked.
"The Douluo Divine Realm now is not what it was before, and it's now one of the strongest forces in the universe. It's not just the two of you; even if the divine powers from the Divine Realm were to return, there would be more than enough space," the Life God King explained with a smile.
The Douluo Divine Realm, not to mention anything else, was protected by Chu Qin, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Pluton–three Supreme Gods, definitely ranking among the top ten forces in the universe. Should Chu Qin annex the Emperor Beast Star, their power would be even greater.
"Yes, Life is right," Chu Qin agreed, "Come back, and once I return to the Douluo Divine Realm, I should be able to help you advance to the rank of Pinnacle God King."
"Really!" Both Asura and Poseidon's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Lord Chu Qin!"
"Yes," Chu Qin said with a smile, "The day has grown late. Everyone should get some sleep. Today, whose turn is it?"
"It's mine, along with Er Long, Dong'er, Sister Life, and Sister Na'er," Zi Ji said.
"Alright, follow me," Chu Qin said with a light smile.
Then, the five women followed Chu Qin into a separate room, while the rest of the women dispersed to their own.
"Chu Qin, are we really going to live here?" Bi Bidong asked.
"Yeah, didn't Aunt Yina say that the Luo Family and Emperor Chi have a grudge? By now, Emperor Chi probably already knows," Gu Yuena followed up.
"And I feel like this Murong Linger might not be that simple either," Liu Er Long also said with a bit of worry.
"The secret talk I just had with Aunt Yina was exactly about this," Chu Qin said with a smile, "As for Murong Linger, since she is a disciple of the Thunder Emperor, I believe she won't harm us."
"Looks do matter, huh? I bet you've been charmed by her," the Life God King ruthlessly pointed out.
"Don't worry, that's not for you to consider," he reassured.
"So what should we consider?" All the women asked in unison.
"Of course, you should consider how to make me comfortable!" Chu Qin said, raising an eyebrow.
All the women simultaneously revealed a smile upon hearing this.
And in Chu Qin's hand appeared a whip...
There were no more words that night.
The next day.
Chu Qin and the women arrived at the streets of Human Emperor City.
Compared to the night, Human Emperor City during the daytime not only bustled ten times more, but the streets were also filled with many more stalls.
Moreover, the owners of these stalls were no ordinary people; many Divine Kings and even Demi-Emperors were tending the stalls!
"Wow, this is so much more amazing than Origin City; Divine Kings, Demi-Emperors are actually running stalls," Shui Bing'er exclaimed in surprise.
"I've said it before, don't underestimate Emperor Beast Star. Emperor Beast Star has what can be described as the largest underground marketplace in the universe. Because there are many unexplored areas on Emperor Beast Star, even Emperor Chi wouldn't dare to enter lightly. In these places, danger and opportunity coexist, and many treasures here have been brought out from those areas at the risk of people's lives," Yuè Yīnà said.
"Even the Second Calamity Supreme God wouldn't dare to enter?" Gu Yuena said in surprise.
"The universe is boundless and infinite. Every second, there are at least a hundred thousand planets being developed, but there will always be places that remain uncharted, known as the Unknown Regions. Even within the explored part of the universe, there are many places so dangerous that many Supreme Gods don't dare to enter, called forbidden zones. Emperor Beast Star has many such forbidden zones," Yuè Yīnà explained.
"An eye-opener!" Chu Qin said with a light smile, "Then Aunt Yina, do you think the Supreme God might not be the highest level of existence in the universe?"
"Impossible," Yuè Yīnà shook her head, "The strongest in the universe are currently the Three Calamities Supreme Deity. But ancient primeval beings like the Azure Dragon and the Phoenix, their realms might already have reached the fourth or fifth Calamities Supreme God. They now need to hibernate for survival, I really can't imagine how even higher-level beings would sustain themselves."
"Could there be another world?" Chu Qin said with a smile. This seemingly careless question was actually something he had been pondering ever since the Azure Dragon mentioned she might have to leave this world.
"You've stumped me with that," Yuè Yīnà said, her brows furrowed. "Just like the lower planes do not know about the higher ones, it's very possible that we are indeed not at the highest plane, so it's hard to say."
"Hahaha, Aunt Yina, don't take it to heart, I was just speaking off the cuff," Chu Qin said with a light laugh.
"Stop thinking about all these ambiguous, intangible things," Chu Qin continued. "Even if there is another world, I don't want to go. When I reach the Progenitor-level realm, I will retire for good."
"That might not be up to you when the time comes," Qin Sijing suddenly said.
"Aunt Si Jing..." Chu Qin turned to look at Qin Sijing.
"Fifty million Divine Core Energy Crystals, are you selling or not?" Right at that moment, as Chu Qin reached the center of the street, a robust voice rang out.
Instantly, everyone's gaze was drawn to the source of the voice, and Chu Qin and his companions also shifted their attention toward it.
