Douluo: Marrying a Wife to Become a God, Having Children for Blessings

April 20.

The weather was clear.

Zhou Yi gently laid down the slumbering Bibi Dong, whose cheeks were flushed with a rosy hue, and quietly got up to leave.

Today marked the day he had agreed to embark on an overseas journey with Tang Chen.

Everything at home was already well arranged.

Xiao Wu, Yan Rou, and Ling Yuan were all Titled Douluo, and with the addition of Da Ming and Er Ming as their formidable guardians, the Zhou residence was practically impenetrable.

Especially considering Da Ming and Er Ming's rapid progress in cultivating the Golden Bell Shield Technique. Although their cultivation levels hadn't risen, their combat strength was growing daily.

Even if the Spirit Hall were to launch an assault, the Zhou residence could now stand its ground.

Not that such an attack was likely.

Leaving his residence behind, Zhou Yi headed straight for Vast Sea City.

Vast Sea City was the empire's only coastal port city in the west, built along the sea. Those seeking to venture overseas usually departed from here by ship.

Zhou Yi moved at incredible speed, employing the Ascending Immortal Steps, far surpassing the speed of sound.

Before long, Vast Sea City, the largest coastal and port city of the Heaven Dou Empire—and indeed all of the Douluo Continent—came into view.

The massive city was built against the sea, unshaken by the ebb and flow of the tides.

Its thick city walls rivaled those of a major capital. Even before he reached the city, Zhou Yi could faintly smell the salty, briny aroma of the ocean.

It was the scent of the sea.

Without lingering, Zhou Yi made his way directly to the port.

A large ship prepared by the Spirit Hall was already waiting. Upon arriving, Zhou Yi saw Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, who had evidently been waiting for some time.

"Brother Tang, Brother Qian, thank you for waiting!" Zhou Yi greeted the two with a smile.

It couldn't be helped.

Bibi Dong was simply too captivating, leaving him utterly entranced.

Thus, arriving late was... understandable.

Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu didn't seem to mind.

Zhou Yi was, after all, the cornerstone of his household. Moreover, with so many stunning wives, it was only natural for him to have his hands full.

While Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were the pillars of the Clear Sky Clan and Spirit Hall respectively, they had long since retired from active leadership and now had plenty of time on their hands.

"Since Brother Zhou is here, let us set sail," Qian Daoliu said, leading Zhou Yi and Tang Chen into the ship's luxurious cabin. After settling into a top-tier private suite, maids served them fragrant tea.

"Brother Zhou, how much do you know about the overseas territories?" Qian Daoliu asked, his gaze resting on Zhou Yi.

Though Zhou Yi was young and lacked extensive experience, his enigmatic air hinted that he might know more than expected about the overseas regions.

"I don't know much," Zhou Yi replied lightly, shaking his head. "I've heard of a place called Sea God Island, where many Soul Masters live and worship the Sea God. But that's about it."

"You already know quite a bit!" Tang Chen interjected. "I've only heard fragments about Sea God Island myself and don't know much else."

"The Spirit Hall previously sent people there to try to subdue it, but they suffered significant losses," Tang Chen continued. "Our first destination this time is indeed Sea God Island."

"Sea God Island, huh? That sounds intriguing," Zhou Yi remarked with a calm demeanor, though he had already anticipated it.

He also knew that Sea God Island was home to an unparalleled Titled Douluo: the Rank 99 Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi.

Moreover, he was aware of certain shameless antics involving these two elderly men.

Their grandchildren were already grown, yet they still sought to court a beautiful lady.

Could these old bones even handle such an endeavor?

And so, this time, Zhou Yi accompanied them to Sea God Island with the intent of saving these two "shameless elders."

Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi...

The waters run too deep.

They wouldn't stand a chance.

If they persisted, they'd drown for sure.

As the saying goes, if not me, then who shall tread this path to hell?

Better leave it to me!

"Do you think the Sea God is truly a deity?" Qian Daoliu asked, curiosity and longing for the divine flickering in his eyes.

Having reached the peak of his cultivation, he could advance no further unless he ascended to godhood.

The immense pressure Zhou Yi exerted on him made it clear: only by becoming a god could he surpass Zhou Yi.

Alas, he had failed the trials for inheriting the legacy of the Angel God.

Without some extraordinary, heaven-defying opportunity, godhood would remain beyond his reach.

However, Zhou Yi's martial path had offered him a new perspective. Perhaps there was another way to ascend.

"It's unlikely that the so-called Sea God is a true deity," Tang Chen speculated, shaking his head. "I suspect their 'Lord Sea God' is merely a powerful Titled Douluo."

Zhou Yi gazed out the window as the ship left the harbor, venturing into the vast, boundless ocean.

The sea breeze swept past him, carrying the unmistakable essence of the ocean.

The ocean's scenery is unparalleled, a vastness that no other sight can replace. Without truly experiencing it firsthand, one can never grasp the profound grandeur of the open sea.

The endless expanse of the sea stretched toward the horizon, where water and sky seemed to meet.

At this moment, the sun had already begun its steady ascent in the east, casting shimmering waves of light upon the ocean's surface.

"Brother Zhou, is this your first time venturing out to sea?"

Tang Chen turned to gaze out the window as he spoke. Truthfully, he himself had never traveled overseas before.

"Mm," Zhou Yi nodded slightly. In both his past and present lives, he had indeed never ventured far into the ocean. At most, he had visited the seaside.

"At the speed of this ship, we should reach the Sea God Island region in six to seven days," Qian Daoliu explained.

Zhou Yi nodded again. In the original story, Tang San and his companions had taken about ten days to arrive. However, the vessel they had rented couldn't compare to the grand ship of the Spirit Hall. This ship's speed was considerably faster.

Zhou Yi wasn't in any particular rush, but the lack of female company aboard the ship did leave him somewhat bored. Despite the indulgence of lavish meals daily, the sudden absence of such luxuries had left him feeling slightly out of sorts.

"According to reports, we are approaching an area active with soul beasts. It's important to remain vigilant," Qian Daoliu warned. "The ocean is teeming with soul beasts, many of them immensely powerful. In their natural habitat, they hold the advantage, making them especially challenging to deal with."

As they were heading toward Sea God Island, and considering that Spirit Hall had previously clashed with the island's forces, Qian Daoliu was well-informed about such dangers.

"What do you plan to do if we encounter a powerful soul beast?" Tang Chen's tone grew serious. He wasn't adept at swimming and would be severely limited in the ocean. On land, he feared no one, but the sea presented a different story.

Zhou Yi, however, was unfazed. He could simply fly to Sea God Island if needed. Moreover, his Water-Fire Golden Bell Shield allowed him to exert his full strength even underwater.

"Generally speaking, soul beasts rarely attack ships," Qian Daoliu explained calmly. "Only a few particularly aggressive ones have been known to do so. As long as we avoid provoking them, we should be fine. If we do encounter one of those rare, powerful and temperamental soul beasts, our only option would be to defend the ship and find a way to drive it away."

He continued, "Fortunately, the route we're taking has been traveled many times before and was specifically chosen to avoid the territories of strong soul beasts. Encounters are unlikely."

Tang Chen nodded, his expression tense. If the ship were destroyed by a soul beast, things would get difficult. In the vast, endless ocean, while he could fly, he couldn't sustain it for long. Allowing the ship to be destroyed was simply not an option.

Time passed swiftly.

Six uneventful days went by. Tang Chen had remained on high alert the entire journey, but nothing unusual occurred. Zhou Yi, by contrast, enjoyed a leisurely and relaxed six days, treating the trip like a casual holiday. After all, with great skill comes great confidence.

Soon enough, Sea God Island came into view.

"As expected, I'm not the protagonist, so of course nothing happens along the way!" Zhou Yi stretched lazily and walked to the ship's bow. Gazing toward the distant Sea God Island, he smiled.

"So, we've finally arrived at Sea God Island?" Tang Chen stood beside Zhou Yi, staring at the immense island ahead. A sense of relief washed over him. Even if the ship capsized now, he could fly to the island. Once he set foot on solid ground, he would fear nothing.

However, neither of them noticed the movement in the deep sea below. A sleek, over-twenty-meter-long white shark with an elegant silhouette was approaching at an astonishing speed.

"A white shark?" Zhou Yi's senses caught the presence immediately, and his heart stirred. "It seems to be a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. If I'm not mistaken, it's Sea God's former mount, the Demon Soul Great White Shark, Xiao Bai!"
