"Douluo Dalu: The Traveler of Thousand Realms"

Krishna sat cross-legged in his room, his eyes closed in deep meditation. The familiar warmth of his spiritual power coursed through him, restoring itself to its peak after his exchange with Bibi Dong. As his consciousness fully aligned, he exhaled slowly and opened his eyes. The dim glow of the torches in his chamber flickered, casting long shadows across the room.

Now that Bibi Dong was safe and had ascended as the goddess of his kingdom, Krishna felt a newfound certainty. Their connection reassured him—women who attained divinity under his guidance would never betray him. Their love for him would only grow stronger with time.

Rising from his meditation, Krishna stretched before making his way toward the Dean and Vice Dean's quarters. The corridors of the palace were silent, the soft rustle of his robes the only sound. As he entered the grand hall, he found the two leaders already seated, sipping tea and discussing academy affairs.

"Krishna," the Dean greeted, his sharp gaze scanning the young warrior. "You look refreshed. Was your rescue mission successful?"

Krishna nodded. "Yes. My plan was successful, and I also granted her the goddess position." His expression turned serious. "I wanted to inform you of something important."

Both the Dean and Vice Dean listened intently as Krishna detailed his recent connection with Bibi Dong, her rise in strength, and their planned meeting at Sunset Forest.

"So, she will arrive at Sunset Forest in one month," the Vice Dean murmured.

"Indeed," Krishna confirmed. "I will meet her there and grant her a god-bestowed soul ring. Additionally, there is a divine artifact hidden within Sunset Forest, which I intend to claim for my Kingdom of Gods."

The Dean frowned slightly. "Won't you tell us what it is?"

Krishna smiled. "It will be a surprise for both of you."

The Dean and Vice Dean exchanged glances before nodding. "Then we will wait. But be careful, Krishna. The world of Spirit Masters is filled with hidden dangers."

Krishna bowed slightly in gratitude before returning to his chamber. He had preparations to make before the next phase of his journey.

The Wait and Training

Days passed as Krishna honed his abilities. He refined his control over spiritual and soul power, reaching level 32. He practiced combat techniques and deepened his understanding of soul energy. Yet, his thoughts often drifted to Bibi Dong, wondering how she would arrive and meet him at Sunset Forest.

However, another matter held his interest—one that would significantly aid his growth.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a sacred land known for nurturing extraordinary herbs and treasures, housed a rare Fairy Grass that Krishna desired. More importantly, the souls of an ancient Ice Dragon and Fire Dragon lay dormant there, each possessing a soul ring and soul bone that could elevate his strength to an entirely new level.

"This will be useful for me," Krishna mused as he finalized his training. "And the new function I created in the system will help me identify the Fairy Grass."

Time passed swiftly. One month later, as Krishna sat meditating under the starlit sky, a ripple of energy pulsed through the air. A message reached his consciousness—a divine link from Bibi Dong.

"I have arrived at Sunset Forest. I will wait for you here."

Krishna opened his eyes, a smile forming on his lips. The time had come.

The Journey to Sunset Forest

Wasting no time, Krishna informed the Dean and Vice Dean of Bibi Dong's arrival. "I will teleport there now," he stated. "With my increased soul power, my teleportation range has expanded significantly."

The Dean placed a hand on his shoulder. "Be cautious. The forest is home to many powerful soul beasts."

Krishna nodded before channeling his energy. A golden light enveloped him, and in the next moment, he vanished.

The dense, ancient trees of Sunset Forest loomed around him as he arrived at the meeting point. A chilling yet invigorating aura permeated the air, signaling the presence of powerful soul beasts. Scanning his surroundings, Krishna soon spotted a familiar figure standing amidst the towering trees.

Bibi Dong.

Her presence had changed. The divine energy Krishna had granted her now flowed seamlessly through her being, radiating an aura of authority and power. She turned as he approached, a smirk playing on her lips.

"You came… but you're only seven years old, and yet you want me as your wife?" she teased, rubbing his cheek.

Krishna frowned slightly, appearing annoyed. "I can alter my age for hours using my power, so you don't have to worry about our… relationship."

Bibi Dong's gaze flickered with shyness before she responded, "Then I will see what you can do."

Krishna shook his head. "Let's not talk about that here. Did anyone else come with you?"

Bibi Dong shook her head. "No, I told them I was searching for a spider soul beast suitable for my seventh soul ring."

Without hesitation, Krishna took her hand and teleported them both to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Upon arrival, a breathtaking sight unfolded before Bibi Dong's eyes. The ethereal beauty of the landscape left her in awe. Pools of boiling red and freezing blue water coexisted in perfect harmony, surrounded by rare and radiant plants.

"This place… it's beautiful," Bibi Dong whispered, mesmerized. "What is this place?"

"This is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," Krishna explained. "It's a sacred land capable of nurturing rare Fairy Grass that can change a person's fate."

Bibi Dong's eyes widened, filled with curiosity and anticipation. The journey was far from over—her transformation had only just begun.
