Chapter 0344: The Water Element God

Meeting the God was indeed a surprise to Huang Long, but not one that brought great excitement or fear. By Huang Long’s standards, the God of this world would be equivalent to an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal in the Pangu World.
“Get ready. We’ll set off for the God’s realm shortly,” Kennedy said.
“Set off right away?” Huang Long was stunned.
“That’s right. Meeting the God is a major event, and we certainly can’t keep the great God waiting,” Kennedy said seriously.
Huang Long could only nod in agreement.
“However, someone is quite jealous because of your meeting with the God,” Kennedy suddenly said, his serious expression turning into a smile.
Jealous? Huang Long was puzzled.
Who could be jealous?
But Kennedy didn’t clarify.
Huang Long had nothing left to prepare. He then left Tiandi Mansion with Kennedy and headed straight to the God’s realm to meet the ancestor of the Luning family—the Water Element God.
“Could it be that because I displayed the 91st level of the Dragon Clan bloodline, the Water Element God wants to meet me?” On the way, sitting on the high-grade flying artifact of the Luning family, Huang Long wondered why the Water Element God wanted to see him.
Other than that reason, he really couldn’t think of any other explanation.
“If I had known this, I would have reduced the concentration of my bloodline earlier,” Huang Long shook his head. Facing this Water Element God wasn’t a good thing for him. His current appearance was a transformation—he couldn’t be seen through by Kennedy and the others, but that didn’t mean the God couldn’t detect anything.
But since things had come to this, Huang Long could only proceed step by step.
On the high-grade flying artifact, Kennedy occasionally gave Huang Long some guidance on cultivation. Of course, listening to Kennedy’s insights, Huang Long listened attentively and nodded in agreement.
Fortunately, these days didn’t last long. After four months of flight, Huang Long and his group arrived at the Water Element God’s realm.
“Is this the God’s realm?” Huang Long looked at the mountain suspended upside down in midair.
“That’s right. This is the God’s realm,” Kennedy said to Huang Long with a smile. “Surprised, right? Let’s go. The God already knows we’re here.” With that, he flew toward the suspended mountain.
Huang Long followed closely behind.
It wasn’t long before Huang Long, along with Kennedy, landed on the summit of the mountain. Seeing the picturesque scene filled with birdsong and flowers, he was stunned.

At first glance, the summit of this mountain was flat, with magical beasts running around and exotic flowers swaying. A strange fragrance filled the air, giving Huang Long the feeling of being back on Erxian Mountain, where Magu Cave in the Pangu world was located. After landing on the summit, Kennedy led Huang Long toward the center of it. After a while, a garden-like complex of palaces came into view. Seeing these palaces, Huang Long realized they must be the residence of the Supreme God. Sure enough, when the palace complex appeared before them, Kennedy said, “We’re almost there. Have you remembered the things we need to pay attention to?” “Mm, I’ve remembered,” replied Huang Long with a helpless expression. Meeting the Supreme God was a major event for Kennedy, and no mistakes were allowed. That’s why he kept reminding Huang Long about the matters to be careful of along the way—already three times in total. But Huang Long didn’t seem to mind much. Even if it were not the Supreme God, but rather a Supreme Deity, in his past life, such a being would only be on equal footing with Huang Long. Before reaching the palace complex, Kennedy skillfully led Huang Long straight to a milky-white palace. In front of the palace stood two female high-ranking deities dressed in light purple, both possessing the strength of peerless warriors. Upon seeing Kennedy, they greeted him, “Lord Kennedy, you’ve arrived.” Although they were peerless warriors and served as attendants to the Supreme God, they still had to lower their status in front of Kennedy, the head of the Runing family and a high-ranking deity of great perfection. Kennedy nodded and smiled, saying, “I’ve come here by order of the Supreme God to bring Huang Hai, a member of my clan, to meet him.” One of the women said with a smile, “The Supreme God has already instructed that Lord Kennedy can enter directly.” In the entire Runing family, only Kennedy and Bazel enjoyed such treatment—they could enter without announcement to meet the Supreme God, even though the two Supreme God messengers under him did not have this privilege. A Supreme God usually had one to three Supreme God messengers. Kennedy nodded and then led Huang Long into the palace gates. “The Supreme God wants to meet this Huang Hai, a member of the Runing family?” The two women whispered to each other after seeing Kennedy lead Huang Long into the palace, puzzled. “This Huang Hai is just a mid-level deity.” Not to mention mid-level deities, even ordinary peerless warriors didn’t have the chance to meet the Supreme God. “It seems it’s because during the bloodline test for this Huang Hai from the Runing family, his bloodline concentration was 91%,” said the other woman.

“Ninety-one? No wonder.” The woman before had a jealous expression. “I didn’t expect this Huang Hai to be so lucky.”
Another person nodded.
At that moment, as Huang Long followed Kennedy into the palace gates, what came into view was a vast hall—too vast to even be called a hall; people walking inside seemed like ants crawling.
In front of this unbelievably large hall was a platform. On the platform, there was nothing but a barrier made of some unknown metal. Above the barrier lay a white dragon hundreds of feet long. Its huge dragon eyes stared down at the hall with disdain.
“Kennedy, you’ve arrived.” As the two entered, a calm voice echoed through the hall. It was as crisp as jade beads falling onto a plate—pleasant to hear, yet filled with supreme authority. Then, a woman dressed in light white appeared on the platform. Since she was facing away from Huang Long and the others, Huang Long could only see her back—beautiful yet ethereal.
A woman? The ancestral deity behind the Runing family, the god of water, was actually a woman?!
Huang Long was stunned. The information he had purchased about the Runing family and what he had learned from Arlod’s memories did not mention anything about the family’s deity, so he had no idea that the ancestral deity, one of the gods of water, could be a woman!
The deity had always been a topic avoided by the powerful gods. In the divine realm, information about the supreme gods could be found, but nothing about the deity itself.
“Kennedy, I greet the Great Deity!” Kennedy quickly bowed respectfully to the woman on the platform.
Hearing Kennedy’s voice, Huang Long snapped out of his shock and quickly bowed as well.
“Hmm, so you’re that Huang Hai?” The woman on the platform spoke, turning around.
“Yes, Great Deity,” Huang Long replied respectfully, then looked up. But the moment he saw her face, his mind exploded with shock.
“This… this can’t be?! The woman on the platform resembled the Queen Mother of the West from the Pangu Primordial Demon God to an extreme degree—no, they seemed to be the same being. However, the Queen Mother of the West possessed a mature dignity along with an innate charm, while this woman’s dignity was tinged with cold elegance.”
“Huang Hai!” Seeing that Huang Long was staring intently at the Great Deity’s face, Kennedy immediately sent a message to remind him—such behavior was extremely disrespectful.

Huang Long finally came to his senses and turned his gaze away. Yet at that moment, turbulent waves surged within him. The calm state of mind he had maintained since arriving in this world could no longer be preserved.

In the Pangu World, there were three great beauties in ancient times. The first was the Goddess Nüwa; the second was the Queen Mother of the West, who married the Jade Emperor; and the third was Tian Feng, the leader of the Phoenix clan.

These three beauties captivated countless powerful deities with their grace. Huang Long had always harbored affection for the Queen Mother of the West, but due to the vast difference in their status, he never dared express his feelings. After she married that wretched Jade Emperor, filled with regret, Huang Long could only bury those feelings deep in his heart.

“Huang Hai,” said the woman on the throne as turbulent emotions stirred within Huang Long.

“Yes, Lord Goddess,” replied Huang Long, trying to calm his emotions.

“Come forward,” the woman ordered.

Huang Long was momentarily stunned before stepping forward. His heart rate accelerated as he got closer to her.

When he stood before her, the woman waved her hand, and a beam of light filled the entire hall. Within that light, Huang Long and Kennedy were enveloped. It felt like being in a warm ocean—Huang Long realized it was her pure dragon power.

After a while, the woman retracted her dragon power and said, “That’s enough, Huang Hai. You may retire for now. I have something to discuss with Kennedy.”

Huang Long was surprised but replied promptly before leaving the hall.

Outside the hall, he carefully used his divine vision and divine hearing to listen clearly to their conversation.

“What my friend, the Fate Goddess Diliya, told me about the great disaster befalling the Luning family—whether it’s true or not, and whether this Huang Hai is the legendary figure”—came the voice of the Water Goddess.

Hearing this, Huang Long frowned. The legendary figure? He paid closer attention.

…

A while later, Kennedy emerged from the hall. Without saying much, she took Huang Long and flew out of the Supreme Goddess’s realm, then rode a high-grade flying artifact back to the Luning residence.

Along the way, Kennedy occasionally glanced at Huang Long with a strange expression. Huang Long knew well what that expression meant—it was because of her conversation with the Water Goddess, who had instructed her to nurture Huang Long thoroughly. With the Supreme Goddess herself speaking, Huang Long’s future status in the Luning family was obvious.

Yet, on the way back, that figure kept appearing in Huang Long’s mind, leaving him unable to find peace.
