Chapter 56 Dragon Valley Small World, Wei Linglong Becomes a God Through Faith?! A Review Arrives!
However, only Long Lingfei himself knew that he wasn't being modest.
Bibi Dong's final burst of power had indeed injured him. If his "Dragon Emperor's Judgment" hadn't been a higher-level law attack, the outcome might have required more effort.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wei Ang laughed even more heartily:
"Hahaha, Lingfei, you're too modest!
So what if you're strong? You still lost to me!
Prepare a banquet!
Tonight, I will celebrate with my empire's greatest hero all night long!"
"Your Majesty," Long Lingfei interrupted him, his dark golden eyes looking towards the Douluo Continent outside the palace.
"A victory banquet is unnecessary."
Long Lingfei's voice suddenly turned cold, carrying an undeniable authority.
"This battle has revealed the true strength of the Douluo Continent. Their cultivation system has fundamental flaws; their so-called strong are nothing but outwardly powerful but inwardly weak."
Wei Ang nodded slightly and chuckled, "In that case, pass on my orders."
"Integrate the army and prepare for the Eastern Expedition. It's time for us to end the Douluo Continent's millennia of peace."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Hall of Worship fell silent.
The fervent atmosphere of celebration abruptly transformed into an even more intense and frenzied war ambition with Wei Ang's cold words!
Everyone's breathing became rapid.
The Eastern Expedition!
This ultimate goal, which had been circulating among the empire's upper echelons for hundreds of years, was finally about to begin!
As the last elder respectfully withdrew, only Wei Ang and Long Lingfei remained in the magnificent Hall of Worship.
The war fervor that had been enough to set the sky ablaze had dissipated.
In its place was a tacit understanding and quietude between ruler and subject, or rather, between fellow disciples.
"Let's go for a walk."
Wei Ang took off the dragon robe that symbolized supreme imperial power, wearing only casual clothes, and the imperial majesty on his face softened considerably.
More like a junior caring for an elder.
Long Lingfei nodded slightly and walked side by side with him out of the Hall of Offerings and into the Imperial Garden under the moonlight.
The moonlight, like water, poured into the tranquil Imperial Garden, and the evening breeze brought the fresh scent of flowers and plants.
The craggy rockery and the babbling stream formed a stark contrast to the atmosphere of war and battle that had filled the hall earlier.
The two walked in silence for a while before Wei Ang finally spoke first, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible concern and expectation:
"Lingfei, how is Father... the old man, lately?"
Wei Ang's father, Wei Linglong, the previous emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, was Long Lingfei's mentor.
It was this ambitious and talented emperor who single-handedly nurtured Long Lingfei into a level 99 Limit Douluo, a feat unparalleled in history.
After achieving his goal, Wei Linglong passed the throne to Wei Ang and entered a secret realm that the empire had accidentally discovered.
In a small world independent of the main plane, "Dragon Valley," the legendary final step was sought.
Long Lingfei's steps did not falter, his dark golden eyes appearing even more profound in the moonlight.
Although Wei Ang was the emperor, before him, he was first and foremost his teacher's son.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured," Long Lingfei's voice was steady and powerful, giving Wei Ang great reassurance.
"Master is well. The dragon energy within Dragon Valley is abundant, greatly benefiting his cultivation; he is now truly at the half-step godhood realm."
Hearing the words "half-step godhood," a flicker of joy flashed in Wei Ang's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry.
"But this last half step is harder than climbing to heaven. Father Emperor…"
"That's right."
Long Lingfei readily admitted, "Master's recent cultivation has indeed reached a bottleneck."
Long Lingfei stopped and looked at a rare flower blooming proudly in the moonlight in the garden, and slowly said:
"The divine inheritance of Douluo Continent has long been monopolized by the God Realm. To become a god by inheriting a divine position is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
And our Sun Moon Continent's cultivation system, although unique in soul tools, also faces the dilemma of having no way to go at the end of individual cultivation.
If Master wants to go further, he must find another way, to walk a path that has never been trodden before."
Wei Ang's heart tightened:
"Then… is there a way?"
Long Lingfei turned his head, a confident smile curving his lips, and that domineering aura returned to him.
"Of course there is."
Long Lingfei said calmly.
"A bottleneck also means the opportunity for a breakthrough is just around the corner.
Master's accumulation is already substantial enough; all he lacks is a catalyst to break free of his shackles.
I can feel his aura steadily rising; he's only one step away from breaking through."
Long Lingfei paused, then gave an answer that made Wei Ang's heart race:
"I estimate that Master will emerge from seclusion in a few days."
"That's wonderful!"
Wei Ang clenched his fist excitedly; his long-awaited dream was finally about to be realized.
A true god—that would be the unshakeable foundation of the Sun Moon Empire for eternity!
Long Lingfei looked at his excited expression, a glint of light flashing in his dark golden eyes. He then changed the subject, steering the conversation back to the decision they had just made.
"Your Majesty, perhaps... our upcoming Eastern Expedition is the 'secret path' that will lead Master to godhood."
Wei Ang was startled, then his eyes blazed with brilliant light:
"You mean..."
"That's right."
Long Lingfei's voice was steady yet alluring.
"Unify the Douluo Continent, gather the faith of all people, and condense the fortune of the entire empire into one's own body. With this unprecedented and immense power as fuel, ignite the divine fire, and forge a divine position belonging to our Sun Moon Empire! This, perhaps, is the path Master is searching for!"
Wei Ang's breathing instantly became rapid.
Was this to emulate their ancestor Wei Yuan?
Wei Yuan fell at the last step twenty thousand years ago.
Now, their Wei family was going to continue the path of becoming a god through faith!
"Good! What a 'different path'!"
Wei Ang patted Long Lingfei's shoulder heavily, the fervor in his eyes even greater than it had been in the Hall of Worship.
"I understand! This battle will not only expand the empire's territory, but also celebrate my father, and celebrate the birth of a true god for our Sun Moon Empire!"
Under the moonlight, the emperor and his minister smiled at each other, their gazes both turning eastward.
Just then!
Buzz—!
The slightly dim sky suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light once again without warning!
This sudden change sent shockwaves through the entire Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace.
The smiles on Wei Ang and Long Lingfei's faces froze instantly, and they abruptly looked up at the sky.
"It's happening again?"
Wei Ang frowned, a hint of displeasure rising in his heart.
The existence of this celestial canopy was like an uncontrollable variable, appearing just as he was about to embark on his grand ambitions, always making him feel uneasy.
Long Lingfei's dark golden eyes, however, gleamed with a probing light. He could sense that the aura emanating from the celestial canopy this time was completely different from the judgmental and cold aura he had felt during the previous assessment; instead, it carried a... vibrant, life-giving quality.
