Divine King of Honour Chapter 2284: As If a Lifetime Ago

"My lord, I truly didn’t anticipate your arrival, nor could I have guessed that you would reach the God Emperor Realm."

After an intense and exhilarating experience, Mu Yuqing lay in Xu Nian’s embrace, drenched in fragrant sweat, gazing at Xu Nian with eyes full of happiness and love.

Xu Nian also held Mu Yuqing contentedly, his eyes carrying a hint of affection.

"I originally thought you didn’t feel much for me. When teasing you, I discovered how much you care about me, which was quite unexpected," Xu Nian said with a smile.

"How could I not feel anything for you, my lord? In fact, ever since the Houtu Reincarnation Array, after spending a lifetime with you as husband and wife, I’ve completely fallen for you. But my physical form hadn’t recovered, so I had no right to be with you," Mu Yuqing said, somewhat self-consciously.

Xu Nian shook his head: "I don’t care about those things, and I told you I could help you restore your physical form, and I certainly will."

"Thank you, my lord, for giving me the chance to be reborn," Mu Yuqing expressed gratefully.

"Haha, if you’re really grateful, then let’s go another round," Xu Nian chuckled.

"Again?" Mu Yuqing’s face turned red with shyness, yet she nodded.

Then the two engaged in another round of intense exchange.

This allowed Mu Yuqing to experience unprecedented joy.

"My lord, how did you appear here?" After everything was done, Mu Yuqing tidied her dress, regaining her dignified and noble appearance.

"I came here, firstly, to find you and help you restore your physical form; secondly, to enter the Original Divine Ruins," Xu Nian said.

"My lord plans to enter the Original Divine Ruins?" Mu Yuqing exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, is there something amiss?" Xu Nian asked.

"The entrance to the Original Divine Ruins is located in the central region of the Ancient Divine World. Currently, the entrance is controlled by God Emperor-level experts from the Divine Clan. It won’t be easy for you to enter, and it’s very dangerous," Mu Yuqing said with concern.

"Don’t worry, I have a plan. At worst, I’ll fight my way in," Xu Nian said with a smile.

Mu Yuqing didn’t speak, but her eyes remained filled with worry.

"Oh right, I saw you in the hall earlier, wanting to become the Clan Leader. I can help you," Xu Nian said.

"My lord saw it all?" Mu Yuqing asked in surprise.

Back then in the hall, the Tianmu God Emperor was present, yet Xu Nian managed to hide among them.

Could it be that even Tianmu God Emperor didn’t discover him?

"Yes, I saw it. Tell me, why do you wish to become the Clan Leader?" Xu Nian asked.

"Since you ask, my lord, I won’t hide it from you. The position of Clan Leader originally belonged to my father. However, he disappeared years ago, and I descended to the Lower Realm to search for him, only to be ambushed by God Emperor-level experts," Mu Yuqing answered.

"You’re saying your father disappeared in the Mortal World?" Xu Nian asked.

"Yes, my father heard about a relic left by a Supreme Expert in the Mortal World, so he descended to investigate, but never returned. I suspect he encountered danger and is likely sealed somewhere," Mu Yuqing replied.

"What’s your father’s cultivation level?" Xu Nian asked.

"Ninth Level God Emperor Realm," Mu Yuqing responded.

Xu Nian furrowed his brow: "Ninth Level God Emperor Realm, not a low cultivation. Encountering danger at that level in the Mortal World is unusual; it’s likely that the information your father received was part of a trap."

Mu Yuqing nodded.

"The reason I want to become the Clan Leader is so that I can enter the Divine Wood Pavilion, a treasure of the Divine Wood Clan. Only the Clan Leader can open it, and entering it will allow me to determine my father’s whereabouts," Mu Yuqing said.

"I see," Xu Nian nodded.

"But now, with Pang Mu allied with the Tianmu God Emperor, even if I’ve regained my physical form, they won’t easily let me succeed," Mu Yuqing said.

"I can kill that Divine Wood God Emperor for you," Xu Nian suggested.

"It’s impossible; no one knows where the Divine Wood God Emperor’s true body is. What you saw was just a clone. He is a naturally born Divine Wood, having lived for countless eons. The magnitude of his divine body is unimaginable, and his true strength surely rivals the Peak of God Emperor," Mu Yuqing responded.

"Peak of God Emperor?" Xu Nian said, surprised.

It seems he underestimated the Tianmu God Emperor.

Indeed, the Tianmu God Emperor is of the naturally born Divine Wood Clan, originating long, long ago.

With so many years of growth, who knows how strong his body has become.

"I suspect that the Tianmu God Emperor is likely linked to your father’s disappearance," Xu Nian said.

"Yes, I think the same, but the Tianmu God Emperor is too powerful and holds endless prestige within the Divine Wood Clan. Attempting to move against him is nearly impossible," Mu Yuqing said.

"Don’t worry; I will certainly help you become a God Emperor. If we can kill the Tianmu God Emperor, it might help you break through to the God Emperor level," Xu Nian said.

"If we can truly kill the Tianmu God Emperor and allow me to absorb him, not just the God Emperor, but even the higher levels of God Emperor, I can achieve," Mu Yuqing said.

"In that case, leave it to me; I’ll go have a meeting with him," Xu Nian said with a smile.

"My lord, forget it. It’s too dangerous," Mu Yuqing quickly urged.

"Don’t worry; even at Peak God Emperor, he can’t kill me. I have treasures at hand, and I’m just meeting with his clone," Xu Nian said.

"Be careful, my lord," Mu Yuqing, seeing Xu Nian insist, no longer tried to dissuade him.

"I will go now; wait for me here," Xu Nian said.

With that, Xu Nian stepped into the Void and disappeared.

Mu Yuqing watched Xu Nian vanish, feeling as if in another world.

Everything experienced in the past month or two felt like a dream, too surreal.

But upon seeing her own body, Mu Yuqing understood that it was all real.

Xu Nian has truly become her lord and is a God Emperor-level expert.

"My lord, please return safely," Mu Yuqing murmured to herself in her heart.
