Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Sister Fire Ling'er, you are... too beautiful!" Wang Qiu'er couldn't help but exclaim.

"Not at all, compared to the other sisters, I am hardly worth mentioning," Huo Ning'er said with a smile, her dimples showing.

Then, Huo Ning'er turned to Chu Qin, "Benefactor, are you getting used to living here? If there's any lack of hospitality, please forgive us."

"Very much so," Chu Qin said with a smile, "Especially this place, you've gone to great lengths for it."

"Actually, I didn't establish this place. It was created by a human powerhouse who, just like you, came here from Tian Qian," Huo Ning'er explained, "She said that the Fire God Capital wasn't suitable for her to live in, so she extracted a pond of water to separate the fiery air of the Fire God Capital."

"Who was she?" Xi E asked.

"A woman, extraordinarily beautiful," said Huo Ning'er, "But she had a strange personality, very domineering and extremely formidable. She is a benefactor of our Fire God Capital. At that time, when the Ancient God West Pass was breached and the Nether Beasts invaded, she single-handedly repelled tens of thousands of Nether Beasts by turning beans into soldiers, saving the Fire God Capital. Eventually, the Eleven-Country Allied Forces arrived and drove back the Nether Beasts."

"Turning beans into soldiers? Do you know her name?" Xi E asked, slightly excited.

Huo Ning'er shook her head, "She never said. She just stayed here for a while, then she left."

"Did she mention where she was going?" Xi E pressed on.

"No, she didn't. Moreover, she left suddenly without saying goodbye."

"Master!" Xi E immediately thought of Chu Yun Great Emperor.

"Could it really be such a coincidence? Xi E sister, is it really your master?" Luo Yiyi asked.

"I have a strong premonition that it's her!" Xi E nodded, "Turning beans into soldiers is a trick she often uses, and she is naturally unrestrained. Even though she is an Elder of the Ancient Family, she doesn't listen to anyone."

"You are from the Ancient Family?" Huo Ning'er asked in surprise upon hearing this.

"Indeed," Xi E nodded, "Sister Huo Ning'er, are you familiar with the Ancient Family?"

"The Ancient Family is the world created by the human powerhouse Pangu Shidi," Huo Ning'er continued to inquire.

"Yes!"

"Then it's confirmed," Huo Ning'er said, "Actually, I am not purely of the Ancient God Tribe. My grandfather was a person who came from the Ancient Family. That's also why that human powerhouse wanted to help our Fire God Capital."

"Your grandfather is?" Xi E quickly asked.

"Great Emperor Taicang!"

Chu Qin and the others were slightly startled upon hearing this. Great Emperor Taicang was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Family, Chu Qin's predecessor.

"What, you're Grandfather Tai Cang's granddaughter!" Xi E's eyes widened with amazement.

"Ah? Sister Xi E, you know my grandfather?"

"More than just knowing him!" Xi E replied, "Grandfather Tai Cang is the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Family, and I grew up by his side."

"He, Chu Qin, is the current Supreme Elder of the Ancient Family!" Xi E pointed at Chu Qin, her voice tinged with excitement.

"Ah…," Huo Ning'er was momentarily stunned.

"Where is Grandfather Tai Cang now?" Xi E asked urgently.

"My grandfather fell in that very battle," said Huo Ning'er, her voice filled with sadness.

"What? Grandfather Tai Cang has already passed away!" Xi E's smile vanished, as she spoke with immense sorrow.

Huo Ning'er's eyes, too, began to redden.

Chu Qin heard her and immediately hugged Xi E, "Xiao'e, stay strong and resilient."

"No!" Xi E shook her head and looked at Chu Qin, "Chu Qin, we still have a chance, don't we? We can find the Tree of Life and revive Grandfather Tai Cang!"

"Hmm, now that you mention it, indeed we can!" Chu Qin nodded, "It seems we did the right thing coming to the Fire Kingdom! Not only did we find out about your master's whereabouts, but we also learned of Elder Tai Cang's death. We must find the Tree of Life at any cost!"

"Benefactor, you want to find the Tree of Life and revive my grandfather?"

Huo Ninger also became excited.

"Yes." Chu Qin nodded, "Finding the Tree of Life is our very purpose for this journey. Since he is Xiao'e's grandfather, there's no reason not to bring him back to life."

"If you can revive my grandfather, Fire Ling'er is willing to lay down her life and follow your lead without question!" Huo Ninger knelt down in worship immediately.

"What are you doing?" Chu Qin asked.

Xi E hurriedly helped Huo Ninger up, "Sister Ning'er, please get up. Grandfather Tai Cang holds a deep and profound grace for me and for the entire Ancient Family. No matter the cost, I will definitely revive him!"

"Yes!" Huo Ninger nodded solemnly.

"By the way, Huo Ninger, how's the situation with the Nether Beast?" Chu Qin asked.

"Initially, I wanted to lead an army eastward to avenge the deep hatred of General Xue and the others, but the Divine Emperor of my tribe has just reached an agreement with the Ming Emperor not to violate each other for ten years, so we had to let go of that plan!"

"It doesn't matter. Once I find the Tree of Life, I'll help you annihilate the entire Nether Beast Race." Chu Qin said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Huo Ninger was deeply shocked.

To destroy the entire Nether Beast Race was something the Ancient God Tribe hadn't achieved even after hundreds of billions of years. Could Chu Qin do it?

...

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

During these three days, Chu Qin, Xi E, and Huo Ninger kept collecting information about the Tree of Life.

But they found nothing.

In fact, Huo Ninger had been searching for tens of millions of years without any news, let alone in just three short days.

That day, after running Zhou Tian, Chu Qin calmed down. As a high-level racial plane, Chu Qin's cultivation speed was much faster than that of lower planes, and, as the Lord of the Divine Star with the addition of the Imperial Beast Primordial Spirit Egg, his cultivation was extraordinary.

"Although my realm has improved a bit, the breakthrough to Sky Calamity Supreme God seems to be indefinitely far," Chu Qin said with a touch of self-mockery.

The further one goes, the longer it takes to break through. An ordinary Three Calamities Supreme Deity might need at least a hundred billion years to become a Sky Calamity Supreme God, or perhaps never reach that level at all.

To break through, one could only rely on serendipity and System tasks.

"There's no news of the Tree of Life, and the Blood Demon is nowhere to be seen," Chu Qin said, "I wonder how things are going with Azure Dragon."

These experiences had shown Chu Qin that Azure Dragon's realm was probably higher than he had imagined. After all, Azure Dragon could defeat the four Ancestral Emperors countless ages ago.

Chu Qin, although strong now, was still some distance away from an Ancestral Emperor, let alone Azure Dragon?

However, even though Chu Qin was ambitious, he was never impatient.

Soon, with a thought, Chu Qin summoned the Xuanyuan Divine Sword from his forehead.

Ever since entering the Life Forbidden Zone, Chu Qin hadn't used the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, knowing that Emperor Xuanyuan was an Ancestral Emperor of the Ancient God Tribe. In this place, he definitely couldn't wield it carelessly, or else it would inevitably bring about numerous troubles.
