According to Tara, for the Ghost Kingdom to flourish, it cannot exist solely in darkness; a diverse and vibrant ecosystem is the only way forward.
With more species, everything becomes more complicated.
Gather the darkness in one place, and leave the rest of the space empty, so that you can arrange other things.
Biodiversity is something that needs to be developed gradually.
"Why did you move the darkness aside?"
Gu Yuena, sensing something was amiss, returned and was somewhat bewildered by Xu Xin's actions.
"This world now belongs to me, so naturally I should arrange it properly. It can't always be dark."
"By the way, tell me what kind of palace you like, and I'll have the ninja soldiers build it for you later."
Xu Xin smiled and looked at Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena was taken aback, then nodded and explained her request. She didn't mind this at all; in fact, she wanted to bring the river to her place as well.
"Okay, I'll have the ninja soldiers build it for you then."
"I'm going out now, do you want to come with me?"
Gu Yuena hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Let's go, it's a good opportunity to go see Di Tian and the others."
The next instant, the two appeared directly in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire: "Come find me later."
After saying that, Gu Yuena disappeared. Clearly, she had headed to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Looking for her?
Xu Xin was completely baffled. He must have meant to go find her after the palace she wanted was built.
Without thinking too much, Xu Xin quickly summoned the six elders.
Xu Xin explained the situation to the six of them, including the possibility of failure, and let them make their own choice.
But how could they give up under such a huge temptation?
All six were excited. They had known for years that their chief deity possessed a method to become a god, and now, it was finally being revealed.
Everything is so beautiful.
"It seems you've all accepted it. In that case, let's go. But I don't know exactly how long it will take."
"It could be 5 years, or it could be 10 years, but I'm not worried about getting out."
Xu Xin began to speak.
They all had no objections, except for Di Qiu'er, whose strength had not yet been granted a title. The others all had titles. Xu Xin also suggested, "Qiu'er, I think it's alright if you take the divine test after you've been granted a title?"
Di Qiu'er hesitated for a moment, realizing that she wasn't that strong right now, before nodding in agreement.
"Brother, won't this affect you?"
Di Qiu'er spoke up. She wasn't stupid. She knew that her ascension to godhood was definitely related to Xu Xin's ascension to godhood. She didn't want Xu Xin to fail to become a god because of her.
"It won't affect anything, don't worry about it," Xu Xin said with a smile.
There are nine God-Kings, but there are only five in the God Realm right now. Once Ah Yin and the others become gods, there will be no need to worry.
Only after receiving Xu Xin's reply did Di Qiu'er feel relieved.
Xu Xin then led the group to the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, where nine thrones shimmered with light.
"Find your seats and remember to wear your masks."
After they finished speaking, Bibi Dong, Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, Bi Ji, and Dugu Bo found their respective seats and sat down, while Xu Xin and Di Qiu'er watched from the side.
In an instant, the group disappeared, and their destination was naturally the trial grounds.
"Let's go, Qiu'er. The others have gone to receive their inheritance, so the Shadow Palace's business is now in our hands."
Xu Xin stretched. His good helpers had already gone to take the divine test, and he could only rely on himself from now on.
"Brother, you're going to be busy from now on."
Di Qiu'er joked.
...
After the five elders participated in the divine examination, the affairs of the Shadow Hall fell on Xu Xin's shoulders. For the first time, Xu Xin felt like he was about to die from exhaustion. How could there be so many things to do?
Fortunately, nothing major happened at the Shadow Hall Martial Soul Academy and the Soul Guidance Device Academy, otherwise Xu Xin would have been extremely busy.
"Qiu'er, is everything alright at the academy?"
Sitting in the new position of Shadow Palace Master, Xu Xin spoke lazily.
"It's nothing important, it's just that those kids are a bit too eager to hunt for spirit rings."
Di Qiu'er smiled and said, it was rare to see Xu Xin like this.
"Having taken the Xuan Shui Pill and the Whale Glue, and suppressed his energy for a week, it's understandable that he wants to hunt for a Soul Ring."
Xu Xin stood up and walked to Di Qiu'er's side: "Let's go, let's go see how these three little ones are doing."
After saying that, the two headed towards the Shadow Hall Martial Soul Academy.
As soon as Xu Xin entered the academy, he saw someone who looked somewhat familiar: "Qiu'er, who is that person?"
Following the direction Xu Xin pointed, Di Qiu'er glanced at him and said, "That one is Qin Ming. Based on his talent, he should be a Soul Emperor by now."
"It's just that this guy is very interested in soul tools, otherwise he would have become a Soul Emperor two years ago."
Interested in soul tools? That doesn't seem right. Just to be on the safe side, Xu Xin asked, "Qin Ming, this guy's martial soul is the Blazing Wolf, right?"
"Brother, how did you know?" Di Qiu'er asked curiously, her interest piqued.
Xu Xin shook his head: "I could tell."
Qin Ming, this guy actually works at the Shadow Hall Martial Soul Academy, this... this is fine, after all, he's a commoner, and the Shadow Hall Martial Soul Academy also accepts commoners.
To Xu Xin's surprise, Qin Ming was actually interested in soul tools, which was quite unexpected.
"Is he currently employed at the Soul Tool Academy or the Martial Soul Academy?"
Being a Soul King means you've already graduated, and the fact that you're still here means you've definitely taken up a position, which suggests your character is also quite good.
"Soul Guidance Device Academy," Di Qiu'er said.
"Alright, let him cultivate diligently. If he wants to develop higher-level soul tools, the Soul King level is not enough."
Xu Xin said, "Qin Ming, he'll probably be better off without Shrek Academy."
Di Qiu'er nodded, "I'll remind you about this later."
"Let's go see those little guys."
Before long, Xu Xin arrived at the place where the group was cultivating.
Dugu Yan lay on the recliner, directing the four little ones' cultivation, looking every bit like a big sister.
Seeing this, Xu Xin glanced at Di Qiu'er beside him: "This girl, she really is..."
With a faint smile, one has to admit, Dugu Yan truly lives up to her name.
"Ahem, Yan Yan."
Di Qiu'er coughed lightly, and Dugu Yan jumped up excitedly, instantly getting off the recliner and running to Di Qiu'er's side.
"Brother, you've come too!" Dugu Yan said with a smile, not afraid at all.
"You, you, instead of cultivating properly, you're enjoying yourself at such a young age?"
Xu Xin patted the little guy's head affectionately as he spoke.
"Oh dear, I'm already a Soul Venerable, and I'll be a Soul Master soon. Cultivation is a piece of cake for me."
Dugu Yan waved her hand, not worried at all.
Xu Xin smiled helplessly. This little guy, backed by the Shadow Palace and with Dugu Bo by his side, has no shortage of pills, so it's only natural that he cultivates so quickly.
Back in the day, that nobody only leveled up 17 times in six years...
It's no surprise that this little guy, who's been cultivating with drugs, reached the Soul Venerable level in six years.
Xu Xin took a look and saw that the little guy was already level 38, which was incredibly fast.
And this was under restricted drug use; if drug use were unrestricted, he might already be a Soul King by now.
After all, Dugu Yan was only 6 years older than Ye Lingling and the others.
