Chapter 229 Breakup
At the bottom of the sea where the "Phantom Mirror" was located, a large amount of divine energy was swallowed and absorbed by Duanmu Yu, and Duanmu Yu's soul breath gradually merged with the space of the divine realm.
Qin Yu looked at this scene with a sense of familiarity but also in amazement. He had only been in the God Realm for a few thousand years, but already two people had comprehended the mystery of space and become God Kings. Was the law of space so easy to comprehend?
Destry teleported over, looked at Qin Yu's expression, and said with a smile, "Relying on the spatial power of the new universe, you also have the power of a God King in this God Realm. Duanmu Yu becoming a God King is not worth your surprise. Even if I solidify the space, you can still teleport, why do you have to be so pretentious?"
Qin Yu smiled faintly and said, "After all, I am not a true God King yet. If Brother Duanmu still fights with me, I am afraid my chances of winning are slim."
Destry smiled and said, "He won't. Even if he does, your chances of success are still very high."
Qin Yu nodded, "Brother Destry, I want Li'er to marry me openly, but if things don't go as I wish, I will have no choice but to take a risk!"
Destry looked at Qin Yu, then turned his gaze back to Duanmu Yu who was making a breakthrough, and said with a smile, "Jiang Li...she will definitely support you!"
As the divine energy at the bottom of the sea gradually calmed down, Duanmu Yu also opened his eyes. He looked at the seven-colored clouds all over the sky with mixed feelings, and murmured, "I never thought that I would see the day when the seven-colored clouds were born for me!"
Qin Yu and others also stepped forward to congratulate, "Congratulations, Brother Duanmu, for becoming the Divine King!"
Divine King Yi Feng, who had already appeared and taken back the "Phantom Mirror", handed the item in his hand to Duanmu Yu, "Brother Duanmu, you, Qin Yu, and Zhou Xian will enter the illusion together. Only if you pass the test, this "Phantom Mirror" will belong to you!"
Duanmu Yu hurriedly declined, but Yi Feng insisted on handing it over. After some refusals, Duanmu Yu was "forced" to accept the "Phantom Mirror".
Then, Duanmu Yu smiled and thanked them one by one, "Everyone, I have important matters to attend to in Jingguang City. I will go back first. I will talk to you again after I finish dealing with them!"
After Duanmu Yu left, Qin Yu smiled and said, "Although Brother Duanmu has become a Divine King, he is just like you, Brother Destry, and he doesn't put on airs. He even has an extra sense of being approachable. He is truly an elegant person that everyone admires."
Destri suddenly felt veins popping up on his forehead. He could keep silent if he couldn't speak.
Half a year later, Destry was living in Piaoxue City - Qin Yu, as someone brought by Destry, naturally lived with him as well.
Duanmu Yu suddenly came to visit and handed the "Phantom Mirror" to Qin Yu personally.
Duanmu Yu said that he participated in the marriage selection only to pursue the great way and seek the Divine King, but now that his wish has been fulfilled, he will not get bogged down in it any longer.
When Qin Yu asked him why he chose to give him the "Phantom Mirror", Duanmu Yu replied, "When I was with Brother Qin Yu, I felt that you were someone I could make close friends with. However, what really made me decide to give you the 'Phantom Mirror' was because you, Brother Qin Yu, were willing to use a first-class Hongmeng spiritual treasure when you were competing for the first spot. From then on, I knew that among the eighteen candidates, you were probably the only one who truly loved Jiang Li, and only you could bring happiness to Jiang Li."
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment. Even Destry didn't remember this detail.
What Duanmu Yu considered was not his own interests, but Jiang Li's future and happiness.
After sending Duanmu Yu away, Qin Yu began his journey to refine a divine artifact. After years of hard work, he finally refined the "Purple Profound Mansion", which was a divine artifact made of the entire mansion, hundreds of mid-grade divine artifacts, 62 high-grade divine artifacts, and the "Phantom Mirror". It was indeed an ingenious item. Qin Yu also participated in the competition for the second round of quotas.
Unfortunately, "supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny". Under the manipulation of the Northwest Saint Emperor Zhou Huo, several Saint Emperors voted randomly for personal gain and snatched the second spot away to Zhou Xian.
Qin Yu was very angry about this, but he could only endure it and began to prepare the third gift and compete for the third spot.
Jiang Li was at home, and after hearing about the unfair treatment Qin Yu suffered in the second round of competition, he felt deeply moved, so he went to meet Qin Yu and asked them to elope. Qin Yu was naturally reluctant, and he wanted to marry Jiang Li openly, so he turned to studying refining equipment, striving to refine a first-class Hongmeng Lingbao as soon as possible.
In order to refine the Hongmeng spiritual treasure, Jiang Lan specially gave him a lot of second-rate and third-rate decorative Hongmeng spiritual treasures for the purpose of recycling and remaking to obtain Hongmeng spiritual energy.
Who would have thought that this destruction would make him so overjoyed - the primordial spiritual energy that was so precious even in the divine world was actually the paste-like aura that was being devoured by his new universe all the time, the paste-like aura that seemed endless and inexhaustible!
With this confidence, Qin Yu was even more fearless in refining the weapon.
With the help of destiny, he actually managed to refine a first-class Hongmeng spiritual treasure "Wanliu".
On the day when "Wan Liu" came into being, red clouds appeared in the sky of the God Realm and thunderstorms descended, directly proving the grade of this primordial spiritual treasure.
A first-rate Hongmeng spiritual treasure came into being, and a new craftsman god was born. All of a sudden, those Saint Emperors and God Kings who had once sided with Zhou Xian regretted it. The other candidates for the marriage proposal even thought that Qin Yu would use the first-rate Hongmeng spiritual treasure to compete for the third spot. Naturally, they could not compete and announced their withdrawal from this competition.
But something unexpected happened, which made Destry a little speechless - seeing that there was no competitor left, Qin Yu actually took out a second-rate Hongmeng Lingbao of better quality to compete for it.
Indeed, all other candidates abstained from voting, and no one could defeat Qin Yu even if he only took an inferior heavenly artifact. But what was the difference between him doing this and making fun of his father-in-law?
Jiang Fan’s hostility in the later period is a matter for the later period. At least at this moment, he is still very much inclined to Qin Yu becoming his son-in-law!
Of course, judging from the result, this matter was a good one, at least Jiang Fan didn't take advantage of it.
Thus, the struggle entered a white-hot stage. The only two competitors, Qin Yu and Zhou Xian, were going to propose separately, and the North Pole Saint Emperor Jiang Fan would choose a son-in-law based on the value of the gift list...
That’s right, whoever gives the most valuable gift will be his son-in-law, Jiang Li’s husband.
I have to say, he is not a father and sells his daughter for money.
But Zhou Xian coveted Jiang Li and the Life God King perception in Jiang Li's body, while Qin Yu loved Jiang Li wholeheartedly. So, one of them didn't care about it, and the other just wanted to be in love with Jiang Li as soon as possible. Qin Yu even felt that no one could come up with a more expensive betrothal gift, but could ensure that Jiang Li would marry him, so neither of them raised any objections.
But the days of waiting for the results were long and painful. So Jiang Lan and Destry went to see Jiang Fan together.
Seeing his second brother bringing outsiders to his study, Jiang Fan was naturally unhappy. Jiang Lan, who knew his brother very well, soon realized that Jiang Fan was choosing between Qin Yu's betrothal gift and Zhou Xian's betrothal gift.
So, Jiang Lan directly revealed the information that Qin Yu and Jiang Li were in love with each other, that Qin Yu was the holder of another Tear of the God of Life and was willing to hand over the Tear of the God of Life to Jiang Li.
Even though Jiang Fan was the Holy Emperor, he still found this kind of thing too bizarre and too coincidental.
In comparison, Qin Yu's 20,000 years of cultivation from a mortal to an upper-level god seemed insignificant.
What was even more incredible to him was that Jiang Lan had clearly discovered Qin Yu when he was weak, but instead of killing Qin Yu outright to take out the Meteor Tear and help Jiang Li become the God King, he protected Qin Yu all the way to his growth until today!
Of course, he really wants a son-in-law who is a god of craftsmanship?
However, the conditions offered by the Zhou family in Leifa City were too tempting, and he couldn't help but be moved!
Seeing that Jiang Fan still did not tip the scale after Jiang Lan finished speaking, Destry chuckled and said, "North Pole Saint Emperor, I can tell you with certainty that it is only a matter of time before Qin Yu becomes a God King. After your daughter Jiang Li possesses two drops of the God King's Tears of Life, it will also be a matter of time before she becomes a God King, and it won't be too far away. As long as you help Jiang Li and Qin Yu get together, I, Destry, can also join your Piaoxue City. In addition, Qin Yu himself is the new God of Craftsmen...
With three God Kings and the foreseeable Hongmeng Lingbao and Tianshenqi, what else can you hesitate about! "
After Destry finished speaking, Jiang Lan looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect Destry to be willing to make such a sacrifice for Qin Yu.
Jiang Fan was also quite moved, but after two or three breaths, he still said, "You guys go back first, let me think about it."
Jiang Lan wanted to curse again, but was stopped by Destry, "Brother Jiang Lan, I've said everything. It's up to him whether he wants to listen or not. There's no need for us to waste our breath on him."
After saying that, Destry teleported away.
Jiang Lan also chose to leave after glaring at Jiang Fan angrily.
Jiang Fan looked at the two people leaving and suddenly laughed at himself, "'We'? You two said 'we' to me?"
After returning to his residence, Destry told Qin Yu everything that had just happened without hiding anything, and then added his opinion, "In my opinion, the situation today is very grim. You should be prepared to rob the bride, and prepare to bring your relatives and friends in the God Realm, the Immortal Demon Realm, and the Mortal Realm into the new universe."
Qin Yu looked very unhappy, but Jiang Fan might still be his father-in-law, so he said nothing. Hou Fei simply cursed, "This damn North Pole Saint Emperor, if it weren't for Sister Li'er, who would care about him! He got a first-class Hongmeng spiritual treasure, and now my eldest brother has taken out another first-class Hongmeng spiritual treasure. He even has three Tianzuns and a craftsman god as chips, and he still thinks it's not enough!"
"Hou Fei!" Jiang Lan interrupted Hou Fei in a harsh voice, and then said worriedly, "Based on my understanding of big brother, Lei Facheng must have offered some conditions that he couldn't refuse, but I really can't figure out what conditions can compare to Xiaoyu's. Could it be something related to the level of Tianzun, or perhaps related to Lei Fa Tianzun?"
Qin Yu raised his head gloomily, "No matter what, Li'er and I are in love and no one can stop us. If the North Pole Saint Emperor disagrees, then what if I steal the bride?!"
Destry also smiled and said, "Then we will just wait for that day to come."
After a few days that were short yet long for Qin Yu, the day to announce the results finally arrived.
As Destry expected, Jiang Fan ultimately failed to resist the temptation of the position of Heavenly Venerate. Even if it only gave him a slight chance of winning, he was willing to do it.
But Destry also despised him. Jiang Fan wanted to enjoy the position of Heavenly Lord, wanted to know the origin of their eight great clans, and wanted to explore the ultimate secrets of the universe. This was understandable, but the one he sacrificed was not himself, but his daughter. He even clearly predicted that once he chose Zhou Xian, his second brother Jiang Lan would become more distant from him, and Li'er might break away from him.
But he still chose Zhou Xian.
So, after he made his choice and announced it, Qin Yu could no longer endure it and directly spoke out all his thoughts.
——With the arrival of first-class Hongmeng spiritual treasures, several great god kings and the god of craftsmanship, how can Leifa City win!
Even the other seven Holy Emperors, the Blood Demon Queen, and the Misty God King looked at Destry in surprise. They didn't expect that he would be willing to do this for Qin Yu!
The Blood Demon Queen even asked directly, "Destrey, if Jiang Fan really chooses Qin Yu and you join Piaoxue City, aren't you afraid that the Asura God King will come after you?! If I were Jiang Fan, I would definitely not choose Zhou Xian!"
After the Blood Demon Queen said this, Zhou Xian and Zhou Huo's faces turned even darker.
But they had no chance to refute, because Qin Yu had already taken action after obtaining the consent of Jiang Lan and Jiang Li through his eyes!
Hua Lian's clone went straight for Zhou Xian, while the main body controlled the space power of the new universe to "rescue" Jiang Li! With the cooperation and help of Jiang Lan, Qin Yu succeeded in this move, but he also failed.
Because Zhou Xian was not dead - he had a jade talisman given by Lei Fa Tianzun that could withstand the attacks of several God Kings, but this jade talisman was completely shattered.
Zhou Xian and Zhou Huo, both of them, couldn't help but feel scared when they saw this scene. If they were not descendants of Tianzun..., Zhou Xian would have died instantly from this blow!
Seeing Qin Yu teleport away, Destry laughed loudly, "Jiang Fan, you have made the most wrong choice in your life. Compared with this, the siege and killing of the Life God King Zuo Qiumei that led to the breakdown of the brotherhood is not worth mentioning at all. You will soon find out that your pursuit and the Zhou family's promise are of no value in front of Qin Yu!"
Northwest Saint Emperor Zhou Huo was furious, "Qin Yu is from your Shura Sea, you Shura Sea must give an explanation!"
Although Jiang Fan was also angry, he also kept a trace of clarity. He didn't understand how Destry knew that the betrothal gift given by the Zhou family was a promise?
Destry continued to laugh, "From the day Qin Yu and I left Shura Sea and came to Piaoxue City, we are no longer people of Shura Sea. Otherwise, why do you think it was Yu Sha who came to Blood Demon Mountain, Piaomiao God King who came to Shuangyu Island, but not Luo Fan himself who came to Shura Sea?! Of course, if you are tired of living, you can also go to Shura Sea to try out the power of 'Life Break'!
Yusha, I will answer you now. It is precisely because I have already withdrawn from Shura Sea that I don’t care which faction I join! "
The Life-Breaking Technique is the first-class Hongmeng spiritual treasure of the God King Shura.
