Wu Shattered Star River

The two flew to North Desolation City, where Marquis Yan Bei, along with a group of other marquises, actually descended to greet them in person.

Although Si Li was aloof, she wasn't ignorant. Seeing a group of seniors coming to greet her, she quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to salute, saying, "Greetings, Marquis Yan Bei, greetings, esteemed lords!"

"Si Li, no need to be so polite!"

Marquis Yan Bei said with a smile, "The North Desolation King has ordered that after you return, you are to immediately go to the North King's Hall… We will accompany you!"

Marquis Feng Yi's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is this to bestow a marquisate upon Si Li?"

Si Li didn't care about being granted a marquisate, but she was well aware of how much the North Desolation King cared for Jiang Han and the people from the Star Dust World.

It was said that the North Desolation King had expended a great deal of his life essence to save Jiang Han in the Death God Forbidden Zone, aging several decades in appearance. She had great respect and gratitude for the North Desolation King.

Si Li nodded slightly. Marquis Yan Bei had Marquis Dong Ting stay behind to hold the fort, while he led the other marquises into the North Desolation Realm.

The group traveled in a mighty procession to North King City. Marquis Yan Bei had sent a message in advance, and Marquis Chang Sheng, along with the feudal lord-level experts from various major families, had gathered at the North King's Palace. In addition, Wu Yao'er, Jiang Li, and Xuan Yuan Qing had also been brought over.

After the group gathered, the North Desolation King emerged.

Half a year had passed, and the North Desolation King had refined many immortal medicines. His skin had regained its youthfulness, and his appearance was no different from before, but his hair was still streaked with white.

This indicated that his life essence had not been fully replenished. If it wasn't replenished within the next year or two, it would affect his lifespan.

The North Desolation King looked at Si Li with a face full of kindness, and the first thing he said was: "Si Li, this king intends to adopt you as my goddaughter. Are you willing?"

"哗!"

There was an uproar in the hall. The North Desolation King had no sons or daughters. If Si Li became his goddaughter, then Si Li would be the princess of the North Desolation Realm, the future successor of the North Desolation Realm.

Not only that, but the North Desolation King had demonstrated his powerful combat strength in several battles in the Death God Forbidden Zone. He was now definitely among the top ten of the human race's king-level experts, and possibly even in the top five.

If Si Li became the North Desolation King's goddaughter, her status in the entire human race would be greatly elevated.

However, it was said that the Slaughter King called Si Li his junior sister. Wouldn't that make the North Desolation King a senior of the Slaughter King?

Also, although Si Li had no parents, her grandfather was still alive. Wouldn't that make Si Wu Jian a senior of the North Desolation King?

Marquis Feng Yi felt a little confused, and all eyes turned to Si Li. Wu Yao'er and Xuan Yuan Qing wanted to persuade Si Li to agree, but thinking of Si Li's personality, they didn't dare to persuade her too much, fearing that Si Li would directly refuse.

Si Li was silent. She didn't know much about the North Desolation King, but he was truly very good to Jiang Han.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you for the North Desolation King's kindness, but… after Jiang Han comes out, why don't you recognize Jiang Han as your godson? Then I will be your daughter-in-law in the future."

"Hahaha!"

The North Desolation King laughed and said, "I wouldn't dare to casually recognize Jiang Han. His parents would come looking for trouble with this king. Forget it, this king was just saying it casually. Si Li, this king wants to grant you a marquisate, you wouldn't refuse, would you?"

Si Li didn't refuse this time and bowed.

The North Desolation King nodded and said, "Then have you thought of what title you want?"

Si Li stood up straight, thought for a moment, and said, "Jiang Han is called Marquis Heavenly Chaos, then I'll be called Marquis Heavenly Li."

Si Li, like Jiang Han, didn't care much about being a feudal lord or a marquis. If your strength is strong, even if you're called Marquis Wang Cai, you'll still be famous throughout the world. If your strength isn't enough, even if you're called God Devouring Monarch, aren't you still trash?

"Good!"

The North Desolation King walked down, a golden light shining in his palm, and then he tapped Si Li's forehead.

The three characters for Marquis Heavenly Li flashed and disappeared. The North Desolation King turned to Marquis Yan Bei and said, "Announce it to the world in my name later!"

Feudal lords like Marquis Yan Bei were qualified, but bestowing a marquisate required the lord of a realm. Bestowing a kingship was more difficult, requiring the approval of ten or more Dao Harmonization experts from the human race.

"That's it!"

The North Desolation King was eccentric and didn't like crowds. He waved his hand and said, "You all celebrate for Si Li. Si Li, don't leave North King City during this period. Go to the North Desolation Secret Realm to cultivate for a while, improve your realm, and properly comprehend what you comprehended in the Sword Tomb."

After speaking, the North Desolation King turned and left.

Marquis Yan Bei hosted a banquet to celebrate for Si Li, and Xuan Yuan Qing, Wu Yao'er, and Jiang Li were all beaming with joy.

With two marquises in their family, they were now considered one of the top families in the North Desolation Realm, and their position in the North Desolation Realm was completely stable.

It was just that Jiang Han was still trapped in the Death God Forbidden Zone. If he could come back, then everything would be perfect.

After the banquet ended, Si Li took Jiang Li and the others back to Blue Love Island. The next day, Wu Yao'er held another banquet to celebrate Si Li's marquisate.

This time, it was all family. Si Wu Jian was in an exceptionally good mood today and got completely drunk.

The third day, Si Li entered the secret realm for closed-door cultivation, leaving all matters of Blue Love Island to Wu Yao'er and Xuan Yuan Qing.

She didn't go to the North Desolation Secret Realm, but went to the Yue Ya Secret Realm. The third floor of the God Tower in the Yue Ya Secret Realm was actually no different from the North Desolation Secret Realm.

Si Li was extremely talented and didn't lack mystical materials. After cultivating in seclusion for a period of time, she should be able to easily construct several altars.

… …

Three months after Si Li went into seclusion, the Myriad Worlds, which had been calm for a period of time, became restless again!

Inside North Desolation City, Marquis Li Yang led Marquis Feng Yi in, hurrying along. Marquis Yan Bei was dealing with official business in his study. Seeing the expressions of the two, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Marquis Feng Yi handed several intelligence reports to Marquis Yan Bei and said, "News from the Intelligence Division, three hours ago, the Heavenly God Stronghold was invaded by the Demon Race, and the Heavenly Martial Stronghold was invaded by the Dragon Race. The Bone Race attacked the Heavenly Immortal Stronghold, the Faceless Race joined forces to attack the Heavenly Emperor Stronghold, and the Asura Race mobilized a large army to launch a fierce attack on the Thunder Race…"

"Hmm?"

A cold light flashed in Marquis Yan Bei's eyes. He stood up abruptly and cast his gaze towards the map behind him.

He scanned it a few times and said in a deep voice, "The Wild Race and the Underworld Race have allied, preparing to start the Second Myriad Races War?"

On the same day, four strongholds of the human race were attacked, and the Asura Race also fiercely attacked the Thunder Race. This was clearly a carefully organized and planned attack.

Marquis Li Yang said, "The several strongholds are temporarily only ordinary armies, and Dao Entry experts have not participated. This is clearly a probing attack."

"Let's see what the human race and the Spirit Race's reaction is, but if this goes wrong, it may really evolve into a Myriad Races War."

"You keep an eye on things, I'll go meet the North Desolation King!"

Marquis Yan Bei's body flashed and flew outside. Just as he flew out, a stream of light shot from afar, it was Ma Ji, the new commander of the Intelligence Division.

Ma Ji had broken through to the ninth level of Dao Peering and had also been granted a feudal lord title. His face was very solemn, and after flying over, he reported immediately, "Marquis Yan Bei, something happened. The seal of the Ghost King Stronghold has been blasted open. Many armies have been mobilized from within the Ghost King Realm, including a dozen Dao Entry experts, and probably many Dao Harmonization experts as well."

"They should all have been sent by the Ghost Race's ancestral realm. Our army stationed there has been defeated and suffered heavy losses."

"What?"

Marquis Yan Bei's body was instantly filled with murderous aura. He shouted at Ma Ji, "Ma Ji, you immediately go and inform the North Desolation King and Marquis Feng Xian. Li Yang, Feng Yi, call Dong Ting and Huang Quan, we'll go support first!"
