Douluo: Goddess Life Simulator, Qian Renxue Is Addicted

"What is that? Why has a god appeared?"

Upon seeing this description in reality, Bibi Dong immediately headed there within the simulation.

Exerting all her strength, she arrived at Hangu Pass.

By then, tens of thousands of people had already gathered before the pass!

The dense crowd looked like wheat in a field, yet they remained silent. Countless pairs of eyes fixated on the words engraved upon Hangu Pass.

Floating in midair, Bibi Dong momentarily forgot everything else as she stared at the profound truths inscribed above. She was instantly stunned.

"Soul can be a soul, but not an eternal soul. Name can be a name, but not an eternal…"

Bibi Dong murmured to herself.

The miracle Zhou Sheng'an left behind expounded the ultimate principles of soul power—an abstract truth of the Great Dao. It was not something one could directly grasp but had to be comprehended based on one's individual talent.

For someone as extraordinarily gifted as Bibi Dong, her gains would naturally surpass most others!

…

"Damn it! Damn it! Why can't I remember? I clearly received the memories!"

Clutching her chest, Bibi Dong's face was filled with despair. She could feel that the words on Hangu Pass were of immense benefit to her cultivation—

Perhaps even enough to free her from her lingering obsession with Yu Xiaogang!

But.

She simply could not recall them.

All that remained was the shudder that resonated from the depths of her soul!

Her heart itched unbearably—

Yet she could not scratch that itch!

The sensation tormented her, like hanging in midair, feet unable to touch the ground, desperately reaching for something, but never quite grasping it!

Agonizing!

"Bastard! Damn bastard!"

Bibi Dong clenched her delicate fists, then loosened them, clenched again, loosened, clenched—unable to bear it!

She could see it, but she could not seize it!

…

On Pope's Hill, Qian Renxue was also pacing back and forth in her room, completely unable to sleep!

She had inherited Bibi Dong's talent and possessed exceptional comprehension.

Yet she, too, could not bring her insights back into reality!

She knew she had gained an immense revelation, yet she could not retrieve it!

The sheer frustration was enough to drive her mad!

"Stop pacing! If you ask me, we should just go find Sheng'an directly! Why wait? It's pointless to stew in frustration," Dark Qian Renxue said impatiently.

"Shut up!"

Qian Renxue glared at her, her irritation evident.

…

Meanwhile, far away in the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep!

In this simulation, she had intended to take Zhou Sheng'an as her master.

But his rise had been too fast!

By the time she reached Heaven Dou City, Zhou Sheng'an had already become a Grand Sage Master. Since she needed to conceal her identity, how could she possibly get close enough to become his disciple?

The number of young people who shared her aspirations could already be counted in the thousands—if not tens of thousands!

Thus, she became one of Zhou Sheng'an's many followers.

She traveled with him from place to place, listening to his teachings on cultivation and the principles of soul power.

By now, Zhu Zhuqing was utterly convinced—

In her eyes, Zhou Sheng'an was a giant among men.

Especially after the Hangu Pass incident, her admiration for him had reached its peak!

"Master Zhou! I must become Master Zhou's disciple!"

"But what should I do? I must… I must leave now! Master Zhou isn't famous yet, so I still have a chance. If I wait any longer, it'll be too late!"

Zhu Zhuqing abandoned sleep and began packing her belongings overnight!

…

Zhu Zhuqing was not the only woman struggling with sleeplessness.

Countless others, shaken by Zhou Sheng'an's divine miracle, rushed to Hangu Pass through the simulator.

Only Liu Erlong was an exception—she still thought she was sick and had yet to join the simulation!

…

Zhou Sheng'an's entourage made their way to the Star Luo Empire in grand procession.

Every time they approached a major city, the city lords and nobles would wait several miles outside the gates in anticipation.

Zhou Sheng'an would hold a lecture within the city for a day. The city lords, naturally, had already prepared vast venues capable of holding over a hundred thousand people! Yet even then, they could not accommodate all who wished to listen.

Thus, they traveled while lecturing, journeying across the land. By the time they reached the Star Luo Empire, Zhou Sheng'an had already gained considerable insight into the empire's social conditions.

Compared to Heaven Dou, Star Luo's governance was far harsher on commoners.

Here, soul masters were not a means of rising through the ranks—only nobility could climb the social ladder!

As a result, there were no dominant sects within the Star Luo Empire. The top three sects were all within Heaven Dou's territory.

Without sects as an intermediary class, society was starkly divided between nobility and commoners—leaving the latter under even greater oppression!

Seeing all this, Zhou Sheng'an grew increasingly concerned and became determined to change the status quo.

Thus, when he met with the Star Luo Emperor, seated at a grand banquet, he sat to the emperor's right and spoke up.

"Your Majesty, I would like to discuss the livelihood of the people within Star Luo's borders…"

The Star Luo Emperor laughed heartily. "What is there to discuss about them? Let's talk about the miracle the Grand Sage performed at Hangu Pass instead! Even I have heard of it!"

"This… very well."

Zhou Sheng'an sighed. Facing the emperor's clear lack of interest, he could only start with what the other party wished to hear.

Around him, his followers exchanged uneasy glances, their expressions tinged with frustration.

Spirit Kite Douluo furrowed her brows and coldly fixed her gaze upon the Star Luo Emperor.

"I heard that a deity manifested at the time?" The emperor leaned forward eagerly, eyes filled with expectation.

After all, no divine miracle had appeared in the Douluo Continent for over ten thousand years!

The last recorded instance was during the age of the Sea God.

And now, Zhou Sheng'an had triggered a miracle!

Naturally, the emperor associated gods with matters such as immortality—things that greatly piqued his interest.

"Yes. A deity whose name was not revealed. Perhaps it was because our spirits resonated at that moment that they chose to appear before me," Zhou Sheng'an nodded.

"Did they leave behind any inheritance?"

Zhou Sheng'an nodded again. "They bestowed upon me a divine inheritance."

"!!!"

The Star Luo Emperor raised his cup and toasted Zhou Sheng'an. "I congratulate the Grand Sage! But tell me, did this deity leave behind any method for achieving immortality?"

"They did not," Zhou Sheng'an shook his head.

The emperor sighed in disappointment before pressing on. "Then did they say where another miracle might appear? How can one summon a deity as you did?"

"I do not know."

"Then… what did the deity look like?"

"I do not know."

"The deity…"

"Your Majesty, tonight's banquet is to welcome the Grand Sage. Let us first enjoy the festivities," a woman with delicate red lips and dazzling beauty—Empress Zhu—gently pulled the emperor's sleeve and advised.

The Star Luo Emperor snapped back to reality and gave an awkward laugh. "Yes, yes, I was too impatient. Grand Sage, please stay in the palace tonight! We shall converse till dawn."

Zhou Sheng'an sighed inwardly.

What else could he do?

The emperor had invited him not to discuss the plight of the common people—

But to ask about gods!

Around him, his followers' expressions grew even darker.

They had all realized that, compared to Heaven Dou's emperor and nobles—

The Star Luo Emperor held far less respect for Zhou Sheng'an!
