Chapter 477: 477: Paimon Empties Her Savings
"Don't do it, Lumine!"
The silence was finally broken by Paimon.
"Paimon, Paimon is not emergency food!"
After Lumine devoured all of Paimon's snacks, she grabbed the unsuspecting Paimon and brought out her usual pots and pans.
"Huh?"
Paimon was full of questions, looking at Lumine in confusion.
"Lumine, what are you doing?"
Lumine gave a "sinister" smile and said, "Emergency food has grown up, it's time to savor it properly."
Of course, Lumine was just teasing the heartless little creature and didn't actually plan to cook her.
That's why the scene at the beginning happened.
"Lumine, let Paimon go, let Paimon go, Paimon still has food, still has food!"
In order to save her life, little Paimon quickly took out her treasured food box and placed it on the table with a look of despair.
"These are all delicious, Paimon didn't even eat them before..."
Paimon said pitifully.
Seeing this, Lumine let go of Paimon, but her gaze turned to the food.
Wow, after going through so much hardship, she finally found Paimon, but this little creature wasn't willing to share voluntarily and had to be "coerced" into handing over the food.
Lumine crossed her arms, squinted her eyes, and looked at Paimon.
"Huh???"
Seeing this, Paimon trembled all over and quickly took out some more food.
The more she took out, the darker Lumine's face became!
This guy!!
For a moment, she really wanted to cook Paimon!
Paimon looked miserable, taking out food but not calling for help from anyone.
Didn't she know that Lumine was just "scaring" her?
As Lumine said, Paimon had grown up, she knew everything.
Outside Heaven Dou City.
"Lumine, tomorrow I'll take you to the Seven Treasures Hotel, there's a lot of delicious food there, you definitely haven't tried it!"
Paimon put her hands on her hips and said confidently.
Hearing this, Lumine's expression remained unchanged as she said, "Is there more?"
"None, not a single one left."
This time there really was no stock left!
Lumine nodded with a dark face, distributing Paimon's stash to everyone, keeping only a small portion for herself.
"Paimon's hidden snacks must be delicious, everyone should try them."
Seeing this, Zhongli and the others smiled without speaking, nodding in response.
Zhongli knew about Paimon's collection, but he didn't expect Lumine to empty it all at once, showing how deep their bond was.
"Looking" at the scenery outside the city and then at Lumine, Zhongli thought of something.
Since Lumine, one of the twin stars, had come to this world, had the other, Aether, also arrived long ago?
This wasn't impossible, after all, gathering so many Abyss Heralds was something only he could do.
He must have intended to be discovered, right?
Suddenly, Zhongli seemed to think of something and said with a straight face, "Today is not only the day of Xianyun and Lumine's return, but also the start of a new year in the Douluo Continent."
"Here, I wish everyone a new year with new beginnings, and may all your wishes come true... (omitting ten thousand words here)"
At the same time, in the suburbs of Heaven Dou City.
"Brother, we're wrong, really wrong!"
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai plead for mercy.
They never expected that this little blonde was someone they couldn't afford to mess with!
It was terrifying, even a single subordinate was someone they couldn't beat.
Luckily, the other party just wanted to teach them a lesson and didn't intend to kill them, otherwise, they would have been dead long ago.
After a while, Aether glanced at Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai lying in a pool of blood, waved his hand, and the "people" disappeared with calm expressions.
"To be honest, as heirs of pseudo-gods, your attitude and behavior have really opened my eyes."
"When you become gods, I wonder how much chaos this world will be thrown into."
At this point, Aether paused and continued, "Think carefully, are you worthy of becoming gods?"
"None of you possess the qualities a god should have."
After saying this, a portal appeared in front of Aether, and he walked in without looking back, then disappeared.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun looked miserable, but both were fully conscious. The group had some restraint and didn't go for the kill, so the two didn't pass out.
"Inheritors of pseudo-gods?"
Are second-level deities just pseudo-gods?
The qualities and behavior of deities, they don't possess them?
The two fell silent. After all, they were just youths who had suddenly gained power.
It was natural for them to be a bit inflated.
When they were beaten before, no one ever told them such truths, and they only had one thought: train hard and get revenge later.
But with a wider perspective, as inheritors of deities, were they really qualified?
With such behavior and mindset, even if they reached the divine realm, they would easily be killed, right?
No, it should be killed by gods?
The two lay in the pool of blood, silent for a long time.
After who knows how long, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Ma Hongjun's eyes. He turned his head and said loudly to Dai Mubai, "Boss Dai, let's go back?"
"As heirs of deities, we should let go of past grievances. What we should really do is think about how to become true gods."
Ma Hongjun's voice was hoarse, making it a bit hard for Dai Mubai to hear.
But with his ninety-two level soul power, he managed to understand.
Ma Hongjun didn't take revenge, nor did he mention the Abyss Prince from earlier.
Dai Mubai wasn't stupid. The other party had the power to easily deal with them. What if they were watching from the shadows...
"Zhu Zhuqing, you're lucky!"
Beaten three times in one day, Dai Mubai gave up on the idea of beating Zhu Zhuqing and decided to return to the Star Luo Empire first.
No, this matter should wait until he becomes a god...
The two looked around, found nothing missing, and slowly got up, supporting each other as they walked towards the Star Luo Empire.
At the same time, about ten kilometers away, two figures' pupils shrank, and they instinctively trembled.
"Elder Sword, what are those guys?"
Ning Fengzhi asked with a hint of fear in his eyes, looking at Chen Xin beside him.
The scene of Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai being "ganged up on" was witnessed by the two, and they saw the entire process.
Chen Xin was in a slightly better state than Ning Fengzhi. After hearing this, he fell into deep thought.
He hadn't seen those monsters before, but the strength of any one of them could easily crush them!
Especially the one who kept shouting something like: Feel the grace...
What puzzled Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin was that although these monsters were terrifying, they didn't directly kill anyone, which was quite surprising.

Chapter 478: 478: The Battle to Destroy the Sect 2.0
In the meeting hall of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.
The new year had just begun, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was once again hit with bad news.
The monster, whose intentions were unclear, had left Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin deeply anxious.
After pondering for a while, Chen Xin shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion, and said, "Fengzhi, I don't know what those monsters are either."
As if recalling something, Chen Xin's face turned pale, and he continued, "But they must have discovered us, they just didn't make a move."
Subconsciously, Ning Fengzhi nodded, agreeing with Chen Xin's words.
When the two of them were secretly observing, that little yellow-haired guy moved in their direction but made no further moves.
With just that one glance, both of them felt their hair stand on end. Fortunately, the other party had no intention of causing a major disturbance.
They had no idea how Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had managed to provoke them...
"With my soul power at level 98, I still can't see through their strength..." Ning Fengzhi asserted. Even though he was a support-type soul master, his soul power had reached level 98!
Yet, with his strength, he couldn't discern the cultivation level of any of those monsters. This was truly terrifying.
What shocked the two of them even more was that Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were actually heirs of divine spirits! Although they had been beaten to a pulp, their martial souls were unmistakable.
In a place like the Douluo Continent, even if you killed someone while wearing a mask, the information you left behind will still be there.
Martial souls were easier to identify than appearances. The White Tiger and the Dark Phoenix, while the White Tiger might be debatable, the Dark Phoenix was unique to Ma Hongjun.
Even Oscar had received a divine inheritance, so it wasn't hard to accept that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had also received divine inheritances.
As food-type soul masters were the hardest to cultivate among all soul masters, Oscar, with the help of divine trials and a complete set of soul bones, was only a Soul Douluo.
If Oscar was a Soul Douluo, was it really surprising that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, as battle-type soul masters, were broken through to the Titled Douluo level?
Not at all...
"Uncle Chen, I always feel that person's words weren't just directed at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun," Ning Fengzhi said, his eyes shining with wisdom.
Compared to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, he, as an heir of a divine spirit, had revealed himself.
"What are the qualities and conduct that a god should possess?" This question kept echoing in Ning Fengzhi's mind, plunging him into deep thought.
Hearing this, Chen Xin also fell into contemplation, but he didn't understand these things. How could he judge?
"Fengzhi, perhaps you'll understand once you've been a god for a long time."
"The hearts of those two young men are indeed not up to the task, but you're different..."
Chen Xin hadn't actively interacted with Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, but they were students of Shrek Academy.
Oscar and Ning Rongrong had both been students of Shrek Academy in the past.
Their character, for someone like Chen Xin, was simply too despicable!
How could people like them receive divine inheritances? Could it be a good thing for the Douluo Continent once they became gods? The heavens were unfair.
At that moment, a very urgent voice came from outside the meeting hall.
"Report~"
A figure rushed into the meeting hall, sliding in and kneeling on one knee.
"Greetings, Sect Master, Grand Elder!" Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged glances, puzzled but maintaining the demeanor of a sect leader, and asked, "What is it?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the Spirit Hall is gathering a large number of soul masters and heading towards our sect."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin instinctively stood up, their eyes wide and their bodies trembling slightly.
This wasn't fear, but anger! Ning Fengzhi and the others had long expected the Spirit Hall to attack the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect and had even made all necessary preparations.
What surprised him was that the Spirit Hall's attack this time was so blatant, showing no regard for the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect at all!
"Hmph, they're not even trying to hide it anymore!" Ning Fengzhi clenched his fists, his face filled with anger, and said, "Gather all sect disciples and prepare for battle."
"This time, I will make sure they don't return alive!"
"To avenge the disciples who died!" Blood debts must be repaid with blood. To achieve victory this time, he had even sought help from the Beast Kings...
This shows just how much Ning Fengzhi hated the Spirit Hall.
As for seeking help from Zhongli, Ning Fengzhi had considered it, but he felt it wasn't realistic.
Zhongli had helped them once, but he wouldn't help them a second time! Now that the Body Sect had disbanded, the debt they owed to the Body Sect had been repaid before its dissolution...
As Ning Fengzhi's orders were issued, all the sect disciples began to gather, preparing to face this crisis.
"What a time to choose!" The new year had just begun, and the Spirit Hall was already eager to act.
The entire Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was furious.
Time passed, and by the time the Spirit Hall's forces arrived at the foot of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, it was already night.
The stars were bright, and the moonlight shone down...
In such a beautiful scene, there was a strong sense of killing intent.
The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was well-prepared, which was exactly what Bibi Dong wanted to see.
For the Spirit Hall, anyone who could join the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect to fight against them was an unstable factor. Therefore, having them gather here was actually in the Spirit Hall's favor.
"Nana, when the battle starts, make sure to protect yourself," Bibi Dong said to the "girl" beside her, her gaze very gentle.
"Teacher, I will be careful!" This expedition was led by Bibi Dong herself.
She should have already broken through to the divine level, but for some reason, the God of Slaughter had delayed granting her the divine position, which made Bibi Dong very anxious.
Originally, Bibi Dong didn't need to personally participate in this sect-destroying battle, but she still came.
As one of the "Death God," she wanted to see if she could forcibly break through the level 100 barrier and become a god through killing.
Coincidentally, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect had a large number of soul masters...
At that moment, the forces of the Spirit Hall and the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect finally met. When they saw each other, their eyes turned red, and not a single word of provocation was spoken...
"Kill!!"
In an instant, the area at the foot of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect turned into a "Death God Domain."
The battles between low-level soul masters were almost entirely based on team coordination.
In such a large-scale battle between soul masters, team coordination was almost useless. What mattered more was the support and assistance from the rear.
The battlefield for high-level soul masters naturally had to be separated from that of low-level soul masters. After all, a single AOE attack from a strong soul master can hit the enemy's low-level soul masters or their own.
"Chen Xin, you were lucky to win last time, but this time you will surely die!"
A frosty divine arrow pierced through the night sky, signaling his arrival.
