"What do you two say?" Bai Yaoyue asked, looking at them.
"Bai Nianyun is your clan member, Junior Sister Bai, so this matter is naturally for you to decide," Meng Tiange said with a smile."Yes, it's up to you, Junior Sister Bai," Mi Yu added.
Bai Yaoyue indeed held a very high position in Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. Despite her short training period, she had quickly surpassed her two peers to become the strongest in the sect. Even within the entire human world, she ranked among the top three.
Venerable Daos generally had a lifespan of two thousand years.It was possible for Bai Yaoyue to comprehend the 'Heaven and Earth Realm' before her lifespan ended. Her Primordial Spirit talent was also considerable, making it even a slim possibility for her to become an Emperor.
Given such talent, Meng Tiange and Mi Yu were quite amenable to her requests. After all, for the next one or two millennia, Bai Yaoyue would be the pillar of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven!
"If I were to hand over the Dragon Transformation Pool, would you two agree?" Bai Yaoyue asked, looking at them.
"Hand over the Dragon Transformation Pool?" Mi Yu and Meng Tiange were momentarily stunned.
"Junior Sister Bai, this Dragon Transformation Pool is unique; it's the only one we have in Black Sand Grotto-Heaven," Meng Tiange couldn't help but say. "Because of this pool, most Dragon God Body practitioners have been willing to join our Black Sand Grotto-Heaven over the years."
"The Dragon Transformation Pool is incredibly precious. Its value rivals a Tribulation realm secret treasure. Are we just going to hand it over?" Mi Yu looked at Bai Yaoyue.
"It seems neither of you is willing to give up the Dragon Transformation Pool," Bai Yaoyue nodded.
"Not exactly. Although this treasure is valuable, it's only for Dragon God Body practitioners. On average, only one Dragon God Body practitioner appears every thousand years, and very few of them become titled Kings. The Dragon Transformation Pool is a rather specialized treasure, so its impact on Black Sand Grotto-Heaven's overall strength is limited," Meng Tiange explained. "If Junior Sister Bai insists on handing it over, I would agree."
"Regardless, we're always on your side, Junior Sister Bai," Mi Yu said, then added, "But to be honest, Meng Chuan has made immense contributions to the entire human race, changing the course of the war. We shouldn't displease him."
Bai Yaoyue, who had been expressionless, finally showed a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile. "He also carries some of the Bai family's bloodline, so he is naturally outstanding. Don't worry, I am not so foolish."
"Junior Sister, your meaning is..." Meng Tiange looked at Bai Yaoyue.
"Let's agree to Meng Chuan's request," Bai Yaoyue said with a faint smile.
"Junior Sister is truly magnanimous," Meng Tiange and Mi Yu said, smiling as they began to praise her.
"Do you two really think I'm foolish?" Bai Yaoyue shook her head. "Handing over the Dragon Transformation Pool would be a significant loss for Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. It would also displease Yuanwu Mountain and Meng Chuan. There would be no benefit to anyone. But agreeing to the request... that brings joy to all."
Bai Yaoyue continued, "Nianyun and Meng Dajiang are ordinary people. But Meng Chuan is different! He has made immense contributions to the human race and deserves our admiration. More importantly, he is very young! From his combat performance, he has long since become a titled King Godfiend. His ability to wound Nine Abysses Demon Saint with a Primordial Spirit mystic art indicates he is at least at the fifth level of Primordial Spirit cultivation."
"A fifth-level Primordial Spirit at just over fifty years old? Combined with his skill in techniques," Bai Yaoyue said softly, "Although I am proud, I know that my talent is far inferior to Meng Chuan's."
"In this life, I have a slight hope of reaching the peak of the Daos realm, and perhaps a slim one-tenth chance of becoming an Emperor."
"But Meng Chuan... he has almost a hundred percent certainty of becoming invincible in the Daos realm. And a high probability of becoming an Emperor."
Bai Yaoyue said, "Even if I don't consider myself, I must consider the sect. Naturally, we cannot displease him."
"Furthermore, and most importantly, this Godfiend's maternal family is our Bai family, and he carries our Bai family's bloodline," Bai Yaoyue said with a faint smile. "With this connection, even if he becomes an Emperor in the future, he won't make things too difficult for Black Sand Grotto-Heaven."
Mi Yu and Meng Tiange both nodded.
"Junior Sister's foresight is indeed remarkable," Meng Tiange said.
What they didn't know was that according to the potential rankings of Heart Sea Palace and War God Tower, Meng Chuan's potential was ranked first! Even higher than Island Lord Wanjian, Emperor Anyang, and others.
On the third day after the 'dark red world' descended upon Jiangzhou City's night sky, an envoy team dispatched by the imperial court arrived, all traveling to Jiangzhou City on flying mounts.
The envoy team arrived before the 'Meng Mansion'. Most of the Meng family were now in Jiangzhou City; only a minority, just over three thousand people, remained in Dongning City.
The contemporary patriarch of the Meng family led the elders in a respectful welcome.
The imperial envoy read the King-conferring edict aloud. The sound reverberated majestically, causing the power of heaven and earth within dozens of miles to roar. It could be heard from anywhere in Jiangzhou City.
"Conferred as King?""A married couple both conferred as Kings?"
People throughout Jiangzhou City were stunned, each stopping what they were doing to listen carefully to the edict.
King Dongning, Meng Chuan! King Ningyue, Liu Qiyue!A husband and wife simultaneously conferred as Kings. This was rare in the entire history of the human race.
"I've never heard of a husband and wife both becoming titled King Godfiends."
"Did you hear that? The edict said King Dongning, Meng Chuan, has made great contributions to the human race, personally slaying over a million demon monarchs. Is that true? Did I hear correctly?"
"You heard correctly. The edict explicitly stated 'slayed over a million demon monarchs.' A single demon monarch used to be able to massacre an entire county town, yet King Dongning killed so many. That's truly terrifying!"
"Amazing.""Didn't they say before that a million demon monarchs entered the human world to slaughter everywhere? Now King Dongning alone has slain over a million demon monarchs. Haha, I believe the demon race will be defeated soon!"
Discussions broke out everywhere in Jiangzhou City.
The news of a husband and wife both being conferred as Kings quickly spread across the land. Among Godfiends, the news spread exceptionally fast! Even before the Great Zhou Dynasty officially announced the conferment, the Godfiend world was abuzz with it.
"Sister Nianyun," a woman in white quickly came to see Bai Nianyun.
"Senior Sister Liu," Bai Nianyun replied politely.
"Do you know? Something wonderful has happened! We're not far from winning this war," the woman in white said excitedly.
"The war is nearing victory? What happened?" Bai Nianyun also showed joy, eagerly pressing for details.
The woman in white explained, "The demon race ambushed and besieged Marquis Dongning Meng Chuan at all costs, even sending a demon saint. But it turns out... Marquis Dongning Meng Chuan and his wife had both already become titled King Godfiends, and they both possess the strength to fight beyond their rank. They jointly blocked the demon saint. Yuanwu Mountain has already admitted to its Godfiend disciples that Meng Chuan and his wife became Kings long ago, and Meng Chuan has slain over a million demon monarchs, nearly wiping out all the demon monarchs in the world. The demon race only launched this desperate ambush out of sheer desperation."
Bai Nianyun listened, somewhat dazed.
Her son, Meng Chuan?Slain over a million demon monarchs? The war nearing victory?
"I'm more informed. I estimate that within a day, all Godfiends in the world will know," the woman in white said excitedly. "It's wonderful news, truly wonderful! How long have we waited for this day?"
"Yes, we have waited a long time," Bai Nianyun nodded gently.
"So many fellow disciples have died over the years, and now we finally see hope," the woman in white said, tears welling in her eyes.
Just then, a messenger riding a flying mount descended.
"Your Highness, the Holy Maiden, a letter from the sect," the flying messenger respectfully presented a letter.
With a wave of her hand, the letter flew into Bai Nianyun's grasp. She immediately tore it open and read it. The letter detailed the full story. Bai Nianyun stared at it in disbelief, reading it again and again, scrutinizing every single word... afraid that she might have misunderstood.
As Bai Nianyun continued to read, tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.
"Junior Sister, don't cry. With hope for the war now, you should be happy," the woman in white said.
Bai Nianyun folded the letter, placed it in her bosom, and revealed a bright, charming smile. "I'm very happy, happier than ever before."
