Almost at the same time, the entire Nine Heavens knew of the good news.
The golden dragon stretched its neck and roared from the endless light. The phoenix danced in the sky, leaving behind a rainbow light that did not disperse for three whole days.
The gods were bathed in the divine light and were pleasantly surprised. They rummaged through their private stashes and willingly offered treasures to celebrate the little dog god's transformation.
This strange phenomenon not only alarmed the Nine Heavens, but also the Three Realms.
The rainbow clouds in the mortal world did not disperse for a long time. There were also floods and rain after a long drought. Clever people took the opportunity to sing praises to the emperor. Even in the Underworld, there were red spider lilies blooming everywhere. The Three Lives Fire burned for a long time.
After asking around, the Underworld Lord eagerly asked the Lord of Heaven to give the little dog god a gift.
It took ten thousand years for a Three-Colored Reincarnation Stone to form at the bottom of the Three Lives Lake. He took it all. It could be said that he had spent a lot.
Even Lord Tian Hua, who was busy turning over a new leaf in the East Sea, felt the joy of the ruler of Heaven and Earth.
He was so shocked that he rolled down from the Water God's bed. He did not have time to explain to Qing Yuan, who he had spent so much effort to coax back. He pulled up his pants and hurriedly left. The Water God, who had taken off half of his clothes, was so angry that he smashed all the gifts he had given over the years. He ordered the East Sea to be sealed and the old lecherous dragon was not allowed to take a single step in.
"Black Tortoise, you're here too? Why is the Lord of Heaven so happy? Tell me quickly. "
When Lord Tian Hua returned to the Nine Heavens, he was so shocked by the splendid weather that he almost fell from the clouds.
When he saw the Black Tortoise squatting in front of the temple, he did not think much of it. He went up and patted his turtle shell.
The Black Tortoise stuck his head out of the turtle shell and gave him an arrogant look. He then put away his pride and transformed. He shook his sleeves and said, "Are you here to pay your respects to the Lord of Heaven? Let me go in and report for you. Wait. "
"Hey!"
Before Tian Hua could stop him, he saw him enter the temple. He could not help but gnash his teeth in anger.
Since when did he need this old bastard to report for him when he wanted to see the Lord of Heaven?
However, he did not have time to think about it. The Lord of Heaven's cold voice came from inside the temple. "Let him in."
Tian Hua could not wait for the Black Tortoise's message and hurriedly walked in.
He came at just the right time.
Inside the hall, Gou Liang, who was playing with the ball of light, leaped up and caught the divine light with his mouth. In the next moment, a baby wearing a purple-red brocade robe embroidered with a golden dragon appeared in the air.
"Li — woof —"
A surprised smile bloomed on the child's face as he stumbled towards the Divine Lord. But just as he shouted, he lost control of his limbs.
A smacking sound was heard.
A large white dog fell to the ground from midair and slid two meters forward before stopping three steps away from the Divine Monarch.
Gou Liang, who was sprawled on the ground, was speechless.
Wuwu, such a stupid dog definitely isn't me!
The Divine Monarch could not help but laugh. Seeing him lying on the ground and covering his face with his claws, looking ashamed, the Divine Monarch hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed to hold back his laughter. Then, he went forward and carried him up.
"Don't be angry. You're still young. It's normal that you can't control it well. It will be fine when you grow up. "
It was true that immortal beasts would not be able to control their forms well when they transformed in their infancy.
But those were immortal beasts with low bloodlines. Divine beasts like Xuan Xuan, who transformed as soon as they came out of their eggshells, had never experienced such a situation. And Gou Liang's bloodline was not below that of a divine beast.
But for some reason, Gou Liang could only maintain his form for a very short period of time, and he could not speak clearly until now.
It was as if there was a special switch installed in his throat. No matter what he said, it would all turn into "woof, woof, woof."
Gou Liang was too lazy to act stupid. When he was in his beast form, he would never open his mouth unless it was necessary. Now that he heard the Divine Lord coaxing him with such words, he angrily bit his arm and gave him a look that said, "I've seen through everything."
The Divine Lord Li Qing could not help but laugh. He rubbed his head lovingly. In fact, he was also looking forward to the day when Gou Liang could speak freely.
The big dog baby had its own worries recently. It was not like before, where he could see through everything at a glance and understand all his thoughts without any verbal communication.
Until now, Tianhua, who was so shocked that he almost ate his tongue, finally found his voice.
He moved to the Black Tortoise's side and said in a low voice, "Black Tortoise, this …"
He gave the Black Tortoise an inquiring look. He looked at the Divine Lord who was holding the big white dog and sitting back in his seat. He was still dumbfounded.
He could tell from the first glance that the little boy's attire alone was impressive enough.
The clothes were made with the Phoenix Fire Feather and the Nine Heavens Morning Glory. On his waist was the Underworld's treasure — the Three-Colored Reincarnation Stone. On his head, if he was not mistaken, was the Dragon Pearl condensed when the Divine Lord transformed into a dragon.
But what blinded his eyes even more was the golden dragon embroidered on his clothes. It was actually alive!
It was the same as the one in the golden light in the Nine Heavens. It was formed by the Divine Lord's divine breath!
He was so shocked that he could not speak. Now, seeing the Divine Lord's affection and smile towards the little boy, he knew that what happened before was nothing.
Tianhua had only seen the little boy before the Divine Lord descended to the mortal world. At that time, the Divine Lord also treated the snowball differently. But he thought that the Divine Lord had never seen a creature that could bite off the purple gold thread on his robe. So, he was excited to see the little boy. Who would have thought that he would be so protective of the little boy today!
He had only not returned for two thousand years. What exactly happened!?
At this time, Tianhua had not noticed the schemes of his former comrade. He was full of hope that the Black Tortoise would tell him that it was all an illusion.
How could the Divine Lord not notice his little movements? He stopped smiling and looked at him. "Tianhua, what's the matter?"
Tianhua hurriedly smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much. So …"
"Haha, I think you were chased out by the East Sea Water God. So, you thought of me."
The Black Tortoise did not wait for him to finish and interrupted him.
Tianhua glared at him fiercely. He turned around and chuckled a little uncomfortably. He changed the topic and said, "When I saw Hound God that day, you were still so small. I didn't expect you to grow so big. I haven't congratulated Hound God on your transformation."
Two thousand years is not a short time. There are many things you don't expect.
Thinking of this, the Black Tortoise said cheerfully, "I do need to congratulate him. After a thousand years of hard work, he finally got what he wanted. Everyone is happy for him and sent him many good things. I thought he would like the Divine Spyglass I gave him. I didn't expect the Divine Lord and the old ghost of the Underworld to steal it. Tianhua … "
At this, the Black Tortoise paused for a moment and his smile deepened.
"Don't be so stingy. After all, you and I are the Divine Lord's servants. How can we let others laugh at us for not having anything to show off? "
He wasn't just spouting nonsense.
Although the Divine Lord had rejected the suggestion of the gods to hold a Form Assuming Ceremony for Gou Liang, he had accepted all the gifts they sent. For a moment, the gods could not help but compare.
In just a single day, Gou Liang's net worth had already surpassed that of the Gods.
Tian Hua slapped his head, only then did he remember this matter.
He gave his old companion a grateful look, but forgot that he had come in a hurry and did not prepare any gifts.
The Black Tortoise knew that he had used the Space Ring, which contained more than half of his wealth, to curry favor with the Water God. At this moment, he was waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Gou Liang glanced at the Black Tortoise, who could not even hide his fox tail. The latter returned an honest and sincere smile and even winked at him.
Gou Liang was amused. He looked at the Divine Lord Tianhua, whose intelligence was crushed by the Black Tortoise's. Seeing him scratching his head awkwardly, the Black Tortoise, who was enjoying the show, snorted and looked away from the Divine Lord Tianhua. His disdain was obvious.
The Divine Lord saw him teaming up with the Black Tortoise to tease Tianhua and did not stop him from patting his back.
Tianhua hurriedly said, "Little Dog God, do not be disappointed. I did not bring it with me, but there are many good things on Divine Dragon Island. I will send them to you later."
Gou Liang turned his head and licked the Divine Lord's finger. "Woof."
He heard that the dragon tendon tasted good.
When the Divine Lord heard this, the smile in his eyes deepened. He played along and said, "Although the dragon tendon is good, Tianhua is old. I am afraid that the tendon's taste is inferior."
"Oh." Was that so?
Gou Liang looked at Tianhua suspiciously. Tianhua felt a chill on his back and said in alarm, "Master is right! I am old, I can't even chew on these bones … "
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that this person was the one who could bite off the Purple Gold Thread. He held back his words and said with a hollow laugh, "Master, I will return to Divine Dragon Island first. I will be back soon, I will be back soon."
He ran away as if a vicious dog had bitten his butt.
Haha!
Gou Liang's eyes curved into crescents. His long hair could not cover his dimples.
The Divine Lord poked him and chuckled. "Just say it. Don't really bite through his dragon tendon. Let him go and find more good things for you."
Gou Liang grinned and laughed even more happily.
Black Tortoise was still adding fuel to the fire. "Yes, Tianhua has been 'traveling' outside all these years. There is no treasure in the Three Realms that he cannot find."
Divine Lord Tianhua did not know that Black Tortoise was using his strength to trick his teammates. He hurriedly returned to Divine Dragon Island to pick out the other half of his wealth.
Just as he was about to turn back, he met Tian Zhen.
"Grandfather, you are back."
Tian Zhen could not hide his surprise. They had not met for a long time.
Tianhua nodded. "You came at the right time. Come with me to pay respects to the Divine Lord."
After a pause, he asked, "What did you give Divine Lord's Little Dog God Transformation?"
Tian Zhen secretly curled his lips and said unhappily, "I gave him the Seven Star Jewel. I did not lose my manners. Grandfather, don't worry."
Divine Lord Tianhua was good with women, but he was not willing to waste his time on males that were not Divine Lords. Even his own grandson was the same.
He did not see Tianhua's hidden dissatisfaction. He just slapped his thigh and said, "How can the Seven Star Jewel compare to the Heaven Peeking Mirror? No wonder that old bastard brought it up. He was using our Divine Dragon Island to show his favor to Master … No way!"
He hurriedly went back to take a few more treasures, trying to win back the face in terms of quantity.
When he called Tian Zhen to leave with him, Divine Lord Tianhua suddenly frowned.
He looked at the blue-winged butterfly on his grandson's robe and said, "Why did you bring the Floating Butterfly with you?"
The Floating Butterfly grew in the border area between the Nine Heavens and the Savage Wilderness. It could make one unable to wake up from a dream. Although it did not have any killing power, it was still a type of demon.
Tian Zhen used a magic treasure to conceal the presence of the Floating Butterfly. But at such a close distance, Tianhua still felt something strange.
Tian Zhen's expression changed slightly. He lowered his head and said, "Grandson has been bored recently, so I kept it for fun. It's not a big deal."
"It seems that you haven't improved in these years."
Tianhua frowned.
Bringing demons into the Nine Heavens was not allowed by the heavenly rules. But Tian Zhen had done many things that violated the heavenly rules, so he did not care. In the end, it was their fault for not having a good upbringing.
Tianhua sighed and said, "Forget it. Come with me to the temple first. I'll deal with you later."
The grandfather and grandson entered the temple. Tianhua smiled and presented the treasures he brought to Gou Liang. "Little Dog God, is there anything you like?"
The treasures of Divine Dragon Island were all in the dragon race's aesthetic. They were very beautiful, and each one was much more beautiful than the ornaments on Gou Liang's body.
He stretched out his claws to take it, but suddenly smelled a familiar smell.
The smell of the power of darkness!
His nose twitched. Gou Liang unexpectedly reached out and grabbed the Floating Butterfly on Tian Zhen's robe.
Floating Butterfly?
Black Tortoise glanced at Tianhua. The latter touched his nose embarrassedly. He was also complaining about his good-for-nothing grandson.
The blue-winged butterfly seemed to have woken up from a dream. It flapped its wings in panic, trying to get rid of Gou Liang's control.
Everyone could feel its fear of Gou Liang. Tian Zhen's heart tightened. He stepped forward and said, "Little Dog God, this is my butterfly. If you like it, I'll catch others for you to play with."
Before he could finish, he saw Gou Liang clench his claws. Then, a wisp of black mist appeared.
Gou Liang went up and sniffed the black mist formed by the Floating Butterfly's soul. Then, he absorbed it without hesitation.
[Tsk, tsk. Master, you're so cruel. Immortal Lord Tian Zhen's heart is broken.]
[It's just a butterfly. Is it worth it?]
[… That's his wife, okay.]
[Ah, didn't you say that he's already withered? Can he cause trouble again?]
[No, it's the Floating Life Butterfly, right? Let me finish first!]
Gou Liang, who had caused trouble, saw that Tian Zhen's eyes were red. He quickly lay down on the Divine Lord's knee, planning to play dead.
The Divine Lord frowned slightly. Of course, he didn't think that Gou Liang had done anything wrong. It was just that he was familiar with the aura of the Floating Butterfly's soul.
It was different from the ordinary demonic aura. This aura was exactly the same as the one he had felt in the black hole in the Wild Fringe, the place where he met Gou Liang.
Divine Power gathered at his fingertips. The Divine Lord touched Gou Liang's body. After confirming that he didn't have a stomachache, he stopped.
He glanced at Tian Zhen and said to Tianhua, "Leave. Next time, don't bring anything carelessly."
Tianhua felt the Divine Lord's displeasure. His heart tightened, and he quickly agreed.
After the three of them left the temple, the Black Tortoise looked at Tian Zhen, who was in a daze, with a faint smile. He said to Tianhua, "Don't be so busy fooling around. If you don't pay attention to some things, you'll regret it in the future."
After he finished speaking, he didn't care about Tianhua's reaction and left with his hands clasped behind his back.
Tianhua pinched his brows and turned to look at his disappointing grandson. He swung his sleeves and said, "Come back with me!"
After they left, Gou Liang immediately stopped pretending to be obedient.
He stood up, bit the Divine Lord's sleeve, and dragged it out. "Woof."
Where did the butterfly come from? Take me there.
The Divine Lord asked, "You want the Floating Butterfly?"
If that was the case, he would ask the Black Tortoise to catch some for him to play with.
Gou Liang nudged him with his head. "Woof!" I'll go by myself!
The Floating Butterfly clearly carried the Power of Darkness. It made Gou Liang instinctively want to get close to it, even though he would never forget the taste of the dark cuisine.
However, it was different from the Power of Darkness Gou Liang had eaten before. The Power of Darkness carried by the Floating Butterfly smelled very good, and it also carried a gentle power.
Just now, he tried to eat it. Unexpectedly, although the taste was not as good as his husband's, the faint milky sweetness was enough to amaze him!
The Divine Lord couldn't do anything to him, so he could only take him to the border between the Ninth Heaven and the Wild Wilderness.
After stepping out of the Ninth Heaven, the world suddenly became dark.
The barren land of sand and stones seemed lifeless. Only the blue wings of the Floating Butterfly were shining in the dark.
Gou Liang quickly smelled the Power of Darkness. He took the lead and rushed towards it. Soon, he arrived in front of a black hole.
This is …
Gou Liang turned back to look at the Divine Lord Li Qing. He was also looking at the black hole in front of him. Gou Liang had never seen him before.
Thus, Gou Liang knew that this was the place where the Divine Lord had first met him.
It was also the place where he was born.
He looked at the black hole. His azure blue eyes shrank slightly and turned into an icy blue color.
A gentle aura flowed out from the black hole, as if it was welcoming a child back to its nest, but also bewitching him.
Gou Liang's footsteps unconsciously approached the black hole. The System in the Sea of Consciousness screamed in fright.
[Master, don't go. The System will, will die!]
What a terrifying Power of Darkness. It felt that if it took another step forward, it would die in glory.
However, Gou Liang didn't stop.
Divine Lord Li Qing had already gone forward and squatted outside the black hole to check the seal he had set up. The seal didn't weaken, but the black hole shouldn't have appeared so close to the Ninth Heaven …
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt a white flash past him. He raised his head and saw a white tail engulfed by the darkness.
Behind him, there was no trace of Gou Liang.
Divine Lord Li Qing's expression changed greatly. He shouted subconsciously, "Xiao Kener, come back!"
Only silence answered his question.
"Damn it."
Divine Lord Li Qing was angry for the second time in his life. However, his movements weren't slow. He followed closely behind Gou Liang and dashed into the black hole.
The darkness that he had imagined didn't appear. Behind the black fog was an open world.
The sky was even clearer than the Nine Heavens.
Beneath his feet was an endless sea. The surface of the sea was frozen.
However, the moment he stepped in, the frozen surface of the sea suddenly split open.
Cracks began to spread out from under his feet at an unimaginable speed. By the time he retracted his foot and stepped back, the cracks had completely melted away.
Divine Lord Li Qing fell into the sea. Just as he was about to fly up, he realized that he couldn't use any power and couldn't leave. He could only move up and down with the sea.
The seawater was even more ferocious. It actually drenched his hair, his face, and his robe, making him look unprecedentedly miserable.
The sea seemed to have finally broken free from its cage. The excited waves rolled down and made a loud noise.
A wave surged towards him and instantly swept Divine Lord Li Qing in. After a long while, he emerged from the other side of the sea.
"Xiao Kener, where are you?"
He didn't care about his miserable appearance. He looked around and called for Gou Liang.
However, there was only sea water around him.
Just as he was about to dive into the sea to check it out, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Li Qing."
Divine Lord Li Qing was stunned. Then, he turned his head to look at the source of the voice.
A person walked over. The young man was handsome and tall. He was wearing a purple-red brocade robe. The golden dragon was lying on the robe meekly.
He smiled at Divine Lord Li Qing with his back facing Guang.
"Li Qing."
Sir God Li Qing heard him call out his name again.
"I'm here."
He said.
Divine Lord Li Qing couldn't come back to his senses.
The person was familiar yet unfamiliar.
The name was the same.
No one had ever called his name like that before.
The young man's feet landed on the surface of the sea. The sea instantly became calm again. Divine Lord Li Qing saw him walking over step by step. He squatted down in front of him and cupped his face.
Gou Liang laughed out loud. He wiped the seawater that kept rolling down his face and said, "You look like this … It's really rare to see you like this."
Then, he pulled Divine Lord Li Qing up. He raised his head and smiled, "Li Qing, welcome to my world."
Divine Lord Li Qing lowered his head and looked at the dimples on Gou Liang's face. After a long while, he came back to his senses. He touched Gou Liang's silver-white hair and smiled.
"Little guy, how did you grow up so quickly …"
He sighed almost imperceptibly.
At the same time —
[Ding! Target's favorability has been updated. Current favorability: 55!]
