"What exactly is the Throne of Eternal and Creative Divine Seals?"
The one who asked this was Hu Liena. She possessed the Throne of Wisdom and Spirit, and the name Throne of Eternal and Creative Divine Seals sounded strikingly similar. Could it be the same artifact that belonged to Xu Huang, the one that granted him god-level power?
But that name…
Had Tang San known about this artifact all along? Was the Soul Seal Throne just an imitation?
"The world, the dimensions, are not singular. The Throne of Eternal and Creative Divine Seals is the seat of the Creator God, an ultra-artifact capable of traversing different planes of existence. It landed in the Sun Moon Empire's territory, discovered by Xu Huang, who gained the right to wield it," Luo Qiu explained without reservation. She held no reverence for the Creator God.
"It can transform into armor or weapons, greatly enhancing the user's combat power. It also carries the Domain of Eternity, an entire dimension on its own. We Moonlit Elves hail from that place."
"And that ultra-artifact can move between different dimensions, or what you'd call different worlds."
"Simply put, whoever holds the throne, we follow."
"Oh, and there's something else. Inside the Domain of Eternity, there are three god-level beings: King Easton, the Sacred Dragon, and the Eternal Angel."
After Luo Qiu shared all this information, it took quite a while for everyone, except Tang San and a few others, to fully process it.
The seat of the Creator God…
Other worlds…
Three actual god-level beings…
This revelation left everyone in shock and filled them with a deep sense of unease.
The fact that three god-level beings existed was likely Xu Huang's trump card, his true confidence in conquering the Douluo Continent.
"You're trying to scare us, aren't you?" Xue Beng was the first to snap out of his shock, letting out a cold laugh. "If Xu Huang really had gods on his side, why did he bother negotiating with us last time?"
This question resonated with most of those present. If the Sun Moon Empire had power beyond that of a soul master, why hadn't they used it?
"That, I don't know. Perhaps it's the mercy of the Creator God," Luo Qiu responded carelessly, as if she knew more but wasn't willing to reveal it, stringing everyone along.
"Count Yinlan, do you believe this?" Ge Long paused his writing and turned to Tang San for guidance.
"She's hiding some details, but she's not lying," Tang San answered, ending the speculation. He then fixed his gaze on Luo Qiu and asked, "Now, tell us about your own identity."
"I'm the Sun Moon Emperor's partner, and his concubine," Luo Qiu said, licking her lips. "Though we haven't consummated the marriage yet. Our collaboration isn't finished."
"And what's the nature of this partnership?"
"He promised to help my Moonlit Elves find a suitable place to live. In return, I'll marry him, and our entire race will fall under his rule," Luo Qiu answered frankly.
"I see." Tang San nodded slightly before turning to Ge Long and the others. "I'm done here. If you have more questions, feel free to ask. As for the Moonlit Elves, I might want to study them later, see if their internal structure is similar to humans."
At this remark, everyone present—except those from Spirit Hall—visibly paled.
Ge Long, Xue Beng, Tang Xiao, and the others had long heard rumors about Tang San conducting research in Spirit City, particularly dissecting human corpses—mostly the bodies of fallen individuals.
They didn't expect the rumors to be true!
Even Ning Fengzhi's expression shifted slightly, though he didn't say anything. After all, the fourteen captives were enemies from the Sun Moon Empire. Killing them wouldn't matter.
And besides, they were Moonlit Elves, not humans.
If Tang San could uncover something valuable from studying this race, these prisoners' deaths would serve a purpose. As Tang San's father-in-law, Ning Fengzhi figured he might benefit from the research as well, so he naturally supported it.
The others went on to question Luo Qiu about various matters concerning the Sun Moon Empire. She answered selectively, mixing truth and lies. Her attitude was completely different from how she had responded to Tang San.
In the end, Ge Long had no choice but to conclude the interrogation. The fourteen captives were placed in individual cells, though their treatment otherwise wasn't much different from that of regular prisoners.
After the session, Tang San and Gu Yuena paid Luo Qiu a visit in her cell.
"Hey there, handsome! I knew you'd come. The Moonlit Elves have very sharp senses, especially when it comes to detecting the intimate energies between men and women. You've been with those four female companions of yours, haven't you? All together, under the same blanket… Tsk, tsk. I knew my beauty would lure you here."
Luo Qiu sat up from her bunk, stretching her slender body. She tugged her collar down a bit, revealing a glimpse of pale skin. "But what's this? You brought a little girl with you? Planning to have some fun together? How charming."
Despite her suggestive tone, half of Luo Qiu's attention was focused on Gu Yuena. After all, this girl was the first to detect her presence. Her power was weak, yet she exuded an oppressive aura, reminiscent of standing before King Easton… This girl was holding back—
A god.
And her scent… It's similar to the Sacred Dragon. Could she be from the Dragon Clan?
"You better not mess around. You're worth more alive than dead." Ignoring Luo Qiu's teasing, Tang San warned Gu Yuena before she acted, "Even though I have resurrection abilities, I'm not sure if my skills can revive creatures from another world like her."
"Relax, I'm not that impulsive." Gu Yuena waved dismissively, then kicked open the cell door and walked in.
"You're quite the domineering girl, huh? Are you going to be the first? Just so you know, this would be my first time. You'll have to be gentle…" Luo Qiu continued her playful provocations.
Gu Yuena grabbed Luo Qiu by the throat and lifted her off the ground, her voice cold and sharp, "Say one more word, and I'll make sure you never speak again."
Before Luo Qiu could respond, Gu Yuena sank her teeth into her neck, draining every last drop of her blood. She spat it out onto the ground, and just as Luo Qiu was on the verge of fainting, Gu Yuena bit down again, injecting a drop of her own blood into Luo Qiu's spine. It quickly spread, transforming her marrow and generating new blood.
In an instant, Luo Qiu's body began to rapidly regenerate. Her once shriveled form filled out, her skin regained its color, and vitality surged through her veins.
Thump, thump, thump!
The powerful sound of her heartbeat echoed through the cell.
Within moments, Luo Qiu was fully restored, her soul power surging to the peak of level ninety-eight, as if she was just a breath away from breaking through to level ninety-nine.
Her appearance hadn't changed much, except her once-black hair had turned silver, her eyes now gleamed with a silver hue, and a silver dragon mark appeared on her forehead.
"It worked. She's no longer just a Moonlit Elf. She's now a Silver Dragon Elf, bound to obey my commands," Gu Yuena declared triumphantly.
