AST 2491 - Qing Shui Became the Nine Continents Divine Palace Headquarters’ Palace Lord

Stellar Transposition under the effects of the Eighth Mortal Step was like stringing together the galaxies and stars . Its brightness and magnificence were superior than nine suns strung together .

Qing Shui felt as if he could no longer fully control his own power . Seeing the calmness on Heaven Star Battle God’s face, it reminded him of a look for having no worldly desires . The battle god was waiting . It was understood that this attack would at least critically injure the Heaven Star Battle God .

The fluctuations caused by the attack was minimal . Other than the sparkling magnificence, it was like a power that was fired off without a sound .

“Accept my request!”

Those were the last words Qing Shui heard from the Heaven Star Battle God .

His existence simply vanished . Even the beasts that had once surrounded the Heaven Star Battle God disappeared into thin air .

The death of the Heaven Star Battle God meant the end for his beasts . Three of them were similar to Primordial Golden Bear as they belonged to the Battle Heavenly Technique classification .

It was over . Everything was over . Qing Shui had won against the Heaven Star Battle God . The same Heaven Star Battle God who was nearing the end of his life span . Now, Qing Shui was the new head of all the battle gods . He had beaten the Heaven Star Battle God, which meant he would now become the new Palace Lord of Nine Continents Divine Palace .

As long as he wanted to become the Palace Lord of Nine Continents Divine Palace, he could do so immediately .

Though Heaven Star Battle God’s strength was formidable, Qing Shui had beaten him fair and square . It could be concluded that Qing Shui’s strength was superior without question . Moreover, he was young for his age . His potential for the future would be tremendous .

Nobody could stop him in his tracks .

Qing Shui did not hesitate . He immediately took over control of the Divine Palace . The Divine Palace was a gigantic conglomerate . Many of those who witnessed Qing Shui’s formidable strength came to join his force .

Qing Shui did not reject them . Right now, was a time in need of people . He could settle down and thoroughly organize them later .

The Vice Palace Lord made a decision previously that had made Qing Shui satisfied . He was the Dragon Elephant Battle God . His strength was one of the strongest after the Heaven Star Battle God . His earlier battle with Qing Shui was for the same Palace Lord position .

The Dragon Elephant Battle God had ambitions . He was a real battle god, after all . However, he also had kindness within his heart . In many occasions, he was helpless due to the circumstances . That was the feeling Qing Shui had when he was talking to the battle god .

This time around, Qing Shui planned to put him in an important position . This made Jing Wugou thankful .

At the same time, Qing Shui wanted to use the other two Vice Palace Lords to balance the power struggles . This was a Battle God Nation after all, he was prepared to follow the traditions . At this stage, he was helpless to find a separate solution . He had not wanted the Divine Palace to return to its former self since Qing Shui and crew had joined .

Whether it was Hao Tian, Mountain Moving Battle God, Diamond Battle God, or his two women, he had planned to put them all in positions of power . Thus, he intended to give them all roles as Vice Palace Lords or Custodians . Using those that were closest to you was the norm . Whether it was from the previous life or this life, this was something that was culturally acceptable . However, to be of use, they would have to possess the necessary strength to hold those positions . Otherwise, it would only harm them .

As for the bad seeds within the organization, he would let Jing Wugou deal with them . Qing Shui believed that Jing Wugou would do a good job . Moreover, Qing Shui felt that Jing Wugou would be especially ruthless . This could be considered as the way he accepted Heaven Star Battle God’s request .

Three days later, Qing Shui officially became the Palace Lord of the Nine Continents Divine Palace . Many came to congratulate him . This included some aristocrats, royal members, and sect leaders from nearby nations . They were all graciously friendly toward the existence that was Qing Shui . Even a moron could notice that this young man was an existence not to be messed with .

Many did not know what sort of ambitions and temperament this young man had . They did not want to stay too long and leave behind any pretext . Most came in person, bringing expensive gifts with them .

When Qing Shui became the Palace Lord, he had thought about what actions he would take . He was not willing to migrate his family over just yet . Given that his lifespan was extremely long, he could allow the Qing clan to develop further generations while maintaining a low profile . Still, he knew that some of them were ready for the world .

Though his thoughts were like this, whether his children could achieve this was a question waiting to be answered . The younger generations would do fine on their own . He was not worried because he was confident in his children .

Tantai Lingyan also came, but she did not appear in front Qing Shui . She was watching from afar . Demon Gate and Divine Palace were opposing forces . It was for the best that they remained at a distance right now .

Once the ceremony was finished, Qing Shui left and flew toward the south .

At a quiet valley covered in beautiful greenery, Tantai Lingyan was laughing and playing with a cute little girl .

Qing Shui watched as if his heartstrings were being struck . This scene was as beautiful as a painting . His mood was as calm as a mirror . He felt an unspeakable satisfaction . It was as though he was having an epiphany . Even if one of them were the Divine Palace’s Palace Lord and the other was the Demon Gate Sect Leader . Even if they were separated by a split in heaven, nothing would matter at this moment .

Tantai Lingyan turned her head slowly, smiling toward Qing Shui . She was gentle and elegant, just like a goddess from the heavens . No one would believe she was the Demon King, nor would anyone believe she had wiped out several Divine Palaces .

“Daddy!”

Once Qing Tan saw Qing Shui, she happily ran toward Qing Shui and threw herself into his arms .

“Baby girl!” Qing Shui embraced his daughter and spun her around in a circle . He then kissed her lightly on her cheeks .

Haha!

Qing Tan let out crisp laughter . She was especially happy, being able to embrace Qing Shui and hug his neck .

Qing Shui felt he owed this daughter a lot . He thought about all his wives and children at home . He had not returned for a long time, but soon they would be together again . They would not be separated anymore .

Home… what an important existence that he had overlooked for some time . ‘Home’ was his motivation and support for everything he had done out here .

Tantai Lingyan softly smiled as she watched the father and daughter duo .

“Congratulations on becoming the Palace Lord of the Divine Palace . ” Tantai Lingyan said with a smile .

“Then I’ll have to congratulate you on becoming the Demon Gate’s Sect Leader . ” Qing Shui replied as he smiled too .

“You can, yes . Haha!” Tantai Lingyan laughed lightly .

Qing Shui lost his composure as he looked at the woman who was encompassed a goddess’ beauty . Her charm was enough to make anyone fall for her . Qing Shui was absent-minded as he thought of her past . She used to be cold as ice . Though she still carried the same pureness, there was a bit of flirtatiousness seeping through . There was an indescribable charm that she exuded especially in front of Qing Shui . She had completely removed any barriers between them .

Noticing that Qing Shui was absent-mindedly staring at herself, Tantai Lingyan was a bit embarrassed . She lightly glared at him once .

“Xiao Yanyan, we should discuss the matter between Demon Gate and Divine Palace . We have the power to resolve it now . ” Qing Shui held onto Tantai Lingyan while embracing Qing Tan as they slowly strolled in the valley .

“Demon Gate and Divine Palace had been a long-inherited existence . Even if you are the Palace Lord and I am the Sect Leader, we cannot alter the rift that has existed for so long . An insignificant cause can have a massive effect . All we can do is lead them towards a result that we both want . If there is fighting, then that is only because it’s the rule of the land . ” Tantai Lingyan said softly .

Qing Shui laughed . He did not think that Tantai Lingyan would say such things . It would seem she had seen through it . Though saying this was not much, comprehending the situation was not an easy task .

“Xiao Yanyan sure has matured . ” Qing Shui said as he smiled, looking at her direction .

Tantai Lingyan silently glared at him .

“That is what I was thinking . We can slowly guide them . As time passed, things will change . Perhaps a complete resolution is not possible . This could only be fate . As long as we tried our best, that is enough . ” Qing Shui did not tell Tantai Lingyan to not be the Sect Leader .

Even if he had said it, and even if Tantai Lingyan accepted, it was better to have Tantai Lingyan as the Sect Leader . The relationship between Demon Gate and Divine Palace would be worse without Tantai Lingyan as the Sect Leader . Moreover, she carried the Demon Saint Blood . Her rule was absolute . The strong ruled the rest . Their goal was not to completely change Demon Gate and Divine Palace’s relationship . As long as they could reduce the conflicts slowly, it was good enough .
