After muttering to himself, Zhao Ling wanted to find someone to ask, but he knew too few people in this Douluo God Realm, only the Sea God. Therefore, he decided to find the Sea God and ask about the situation. After carefully sensing the Sea God's aura, Zhao Ling's figure mysteriously vanished from where he stood.
At the residence of the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess, the Sea God was once again freeloading a meal. Although gods no longer needed to eat to replenish energy, who could blame him when his neighbor was the Food God, famous for his cooking? The Sea God felt there was nothing wrong with freeloading meals at his neighbor's house. Anyway, the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess wouldn't say much, and other gods had no objections. So, the Sea God held a pair of chopsticks, happily picking at the abundant dishes on the table, a cup of fine wine in his hand, drinking heartily and at ease.
The Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess indeed had no objections to this. After all, at their level of power, wasn't living like this joyful? Unlike the Asura God and the God of Destruction, those enforcers who ran around the God Realm all day, handling various affairs of the God Realm, weren't they tired?
Just as the three gods were getting a little tipsy, a teasing voice reached their ears.
"Oh… the three of you are quite engrossed in your drinking, aren't you? Hmm, these dishes look quite good, and the wine is very fragrant. May Zhao come in and have a drink?"
The three of them simultaneously looked towards the source of the voice. They saw an extremely young, handsome man with a near-perfect appearance standing less than three meters from them.
The Nine-Colored Goddess looked at Zhao Ling's face, rubbed her eyes, and said with a strange expression, "What's going on? Am I too drunk? Why is such a handsome man suddenly in front of me? Wow, he's so handsome, so handsome I want to go up and kiss him on the face."
Hearing this, the Food God was alarmed and quickly pulled his wife behind him, lest she cheat on him right in front of his eyes.
The Sea God looked at Zhao Ling, feeling that this man looked familiar. After scrutinizing him for a long time, he finally revealed a shocked expression. "It's you, you brat?!"
Zhao Ling's lips curved into a playful smile as he said to the Sea God, "Sea God, long time no see. Have you missed me?"
Before the Sea God could speak, the Nine-Colored Goddess poked her head out and said to Zhao Ling, "Yes, yes, yes, handsome man, I've missed you. I've missed you so much. You're my only one, my only one…"
"Cough, cough, cough…"
Zhao Ling almost choked on his drink, nearly killed by this overly familiar Nine-Colored Goddess. Was something wrong with this woman? He wasn't very interested in her, but rather in the next Nine-Colored Goddess, Ning Rongrong. This woman was clearly not acting so unrestrained due to the influence of the revised Lady Killer Lv. 6. She was simply being lustful due to being drunk.
The Food God irritably pinched his wife's waist, making her grimace in pain, before glaring fiercely at her. "What nonsense are you spouting? Flirting with a man you don't even know?"
The drunken Nine-Colored Goddess regained some of her senses due to the pain and awkwardly said to the Food God, "Sorry, this man is truly too handsome. I couldn't help myself for a moment."
"You still have the nerve to say that? You're a goddess, yet you act so wantonly. If other gods found out, wouldn't they laugh us to death?"
The Food God glared at his wife in dissatisfaction, then looked at the Sea God and asked, "Sea God, do you know this man? You seem very familiar with him?"
The Sea God, with drowsy, drunken eyes, scrutinized Zhao Ling from head to toe before saying, "Familiar? Not quite. This person is the suspected descendant of a god whom I encountered dozens of days ago when I went to the Douluo mortal realm, to Sea God Island. At that time, this person's strength was at most at the level of a Rank 97 or 98 Titled Douluo. But now, I can no longer understand his strength at all. I feel that in front of me, he is more vast than the sea and broader than the universe."
"What? He's the person you said whose parents are highly suspected to be gods? His current strength is probably not inferior to the Asura God, is it? The fact that he can appear in front of us three without a sound is enough to prove the point."
The Food God now looked at Zhao Ling with a serious expression. He released his divine sense, wanting to probe Zhao Ling's depth of power, but he couldn't find any results.
"Perhaps not just at the Asura God's level? If he were only at the Asura God's level, he absolutely couldn't have bypassed the detection of the five God Realm enforcers and suddenly appeared in our residence."
The Nine-Colored Goddess also became serious at this moment and cautiously asked Zhao Ling, "May I ask why Your Excellency has suddenly come to my husband and my residence? Or are you simply here to find the Sea God?"
"Mmm... I am indeed here to find the Sea God." Zhao Ling nodded without hesitation and focused his gaze on the Sea God. "Sea God, I want to ask, why has the Douluo God Realm suddenly expanded by more than tenfold, and why has the Heaven and Earth elemental energy become so incredibly concentrated?"
The Sea God, the Food God, and the Nine-Colored Goddess exchanged glances, immediately understanding. This person must be the descendant of a certain god in the Douluo God Realm. Otherwise, the expansion of the Douluo God Realm had only happened in the past ten-odd days. The fact that this guy knew about it meant he must have seen the Douluo God Realm before. However, they didn't know which god's descendant this guy was.
The Sea God smiled and replied to Zhao Ling, "This happened about a week ago. A huge void appeared above the Douluo God Realm. An extremely dense Heaven and Earth elemental energy poured into that void, directly causing the Douluo God Realm's Heaven and Earth elemental energy to increase fivefold. Moreover, it caused the entire Douluo God Realm's scope to expand by more than tenfold. As for what exactly happened, we are not clear."
"What, seven or eight days ago??? In the mortal realm, that's seven or eight years ago? Meaning, it was when I broke through back then? Damn it... Is this a joke? All that Heaven and Earth elemental energy I painstakingly drew in, and it ended up benefiting you guys???"
Zhao Ling's mindset instantly exploded. Back then, a lot of the Heaven and Earth elemental energy in the Douluo mortal realm was absorbed by him, which led to the appearance of a huge void in the sky and a massive influx of Heaven and Earth elemental energy. But who would have thought that the place where this massive Heaven and Earth elemental energy poured in was not only the Douluo mortal realm, but even the Douluo God Realm greatly benefited from it?
"I originally came to the Douluo God Realm to take advantage, but I never expected that I've been taken advantage of for so many years! Son of a gun!" Zhao Ling felt his mindset was about to burst. It had always been only him, Zhao Ling, who could take advantage of others, not the other way around. Now that he knew this, how could he, Zhao Ling, tolerate it???
