Chapter 254 The Man Comes Back_1

"It should be so."

Ning Fengzhi's proposal was immediately met with unanimous agreement from everyone.

It wasn't just the federation's council members voicing their approval; those standing behind them also greatly acknowledged it.

No matter what the landscape of Soul Land would become, those invaders must die.

"Next is the time for free speech..."

After Ning Fengzhi took his seat again, Qiandaoliu spoke once more.

The so-called free speech was an opportunity for individuals of the next tier down, like Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Yu Luomian, and Fleet Admiral Ge Long, to give their opinions.

Of course, whether their opinions would be adopted depended on the voting results of the council members.

In the end, the first federation meeting concluded late into the night.

Dozens of major and minor items were passed.

Every adopted proposal could satisfy the interests of all parties and benefit Soul Land.

However, implementing these proposals would take some time.

But everyone believed that two years later, Soul Land would undergo earth-shattering changes.

...

For some, more than two years felt like a long time.

But for Qin Xiao, time flew by; more than two years passed in the blink of an eye.

It was as if he had just slept and had several dreams.

Yet each dream was so real that it felt like a lifetime.

For example, his first dream was as if he had returned to Blue Star, except it was a world where spiritual energy was revived, and fierce demons roamed.

In the end, after countless hardships, he became the strongest in that world. He engaged in a fierce battle with the king of the demons and ultimately perished together with his foe.

In the second dream, he seemed to have returned to ancient times, becoming an ordinary villager who married, had children, and led a completely ordinary life with a house full of descendants.

In the third dream, he became a prince of an empire, struggling for power against his brothers. Just as he was about to succeed, he was betrayed by a confidant and ultimately failed, dying by his elder brother's sword.

"The fourth dream..."

He had nine such vivid dreams.

Now that he was awake, he felt greatly enlightened.

"Now I understand why the Thunder Emperor Senior gave me such an opportunity."

"My life has always been smooth sailing, facing little hardship, and my opponents have experienced all the suffering. I have also never experienced utter failure or despair..."

"But these nine dreams have filled the void in my heart, making my mentality complete."

"Rigid breaks easily, wisdom when extreme harms. Only by combining softness with strength, and achieving harmony, can one find the true path."

At this moment, Qin Xiao summarized his experiences from nine lifetimes, his mentality reaching an unprecedented pinnacle of sublimation.

Divine King!

"I see."

Qin Xiao smiled knowingly and slowly opened his eyes.

"In just three short years, your cultivation level has broken through once again. Congratulations."

At this moment, the voice of the Plane Will spoke admiringly.

The young man before it never failed to surprise and delight in numerous ways.

"When I first met you, you were at least human; now, you're hardly related to humans at all."

Qin Xiao: "Are you sure you're praising me, not mocking me?"

"Can there be any ambiguity in what I said?"

"If not, then let's leave it at that. Actually, my achievements today are also a matter of luck."

Qin Xiao smiled slightly, "And for nearly three years, I must thank you for protecting me."

"Hahaha, don't put it that way; what danger could there possibly be for you on Soul Land? To say I'm giving timely help is an overstatement; I can't even claim to be adding splendor to your success."

The Plane Will laughed heartily.

"Hehe." Qin Xiao chuckled softly without dwelling on the topic. He waved at the Plane Will's avatar, the Gold Tree, "I'm off."

"Wait, you've realized the God King realm, aren't you going to break through in cultivation level?"

"Not in a hurry, for now."

Qin Xiao shook his head slightly.

"How can you not be in a rush for such a significant matter?" the Plane Will, somewhat speechless.

Becoming a Divine King is a monumental event! If it were him, he couldn't wait a moment longer.

He would need to break through immediately, right away, now!

"Once I break through to the God King realm, it will cause quite a stir, exposing the Douluo plane directly in front of the Divine Realm."

"The Divine Realm's Deities will not sit idly by while someone threatens their position and rule. That would lead to a bloody storm."

"And having disappeared for so long, let me first enjoy the calm before the storm."

"Let me make up for what I owe to those around me first."

Qin Xiao's voice echoed in the mysterious space, yet his figure had vanished without a trace at some point.

After a moment of silence in the mysterious space, an old voice sounded: "It seems the days cannot remain peaceful."

...

Thunder Emperor City.

In a luxurious courtyard.

A beautiful woman dressed in a coarse robe chased after a toddler about two or three years old.

"An'an, run a little slower, if you fall, mommy will be heartbroken."

"Giggle, giggle, giggle..."

The child let out a tinkling laugh, occasionally looking back at the woman behind her.

However, the next moment, her joy turned to sorrow.

Accidentally tripping on a stone, she fell and cried out loud.

The woman approached, gently picked up the child, and said helplessly, "What did mommy just say? Slow down, don't rush. Being safe and sound is better than anything..."

"Here, here you are..." The child answered between sobs, feeling wronged.

As she looked at the child crying as though raindrops fell from pear blossoms, the woman felt even more compassion and could not bring herself to scold her, "Tell mommy where it hurts."

"It doesn't hurt anywhere, I'm okay now." The little girl controlled her emotions and tried her best to smile.
