Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 563 A Future Full of Fireworks

The Starry Sky Forest is lush and green.

As Han Tao walked along the babbling brook, he pondered his next steps.
Hatred must not be forgotten!

"We can let Bibi Dong and the Spirit Hall go for certain reasons, but the mastermind behind this plane must die! It must die!"

"We cannot allow it to exist; we absolutely cannot allow this so-called aggregate of the consciousness of countless beings to live in this world!"

"Moreover, it has already accomplished its purpose and has seized control of the Branch of Destiny, which is like the Sword of Damocles hanging high, constantly threatening us!"

Ye Lingling's tone was ruthless.

She gently crouched down, her fingers brushing across the clear river. The pervasive aura of "water" flowed through her martial spirit, and through the misty water, one could see the lush vitality of the Nine-Heart Begonia.

"Yes!"

Han Tao stopped and gazed into the distance: "The hatred must not be forgotten!"

"Although my strength, system, and stats are beyond the imagination of ordinary people, we ultimately do not have the power to kill it!"

"The collective consciousness of countless living beings"

"Such beings have transcended the boundaries of gods and reached a place we have never encountered before."

Everything that mortals receive, including but not limited to: six-winged angels, sea gods, and the Blue Silver Sovereign's Eye.
All of these are god-level martial souls, while the life core, plane consciousness, and branch of destiny have surpassed even the gods.

"Above the gods."

"Han Tao, are you saying that dimensional consciousness is above gods?"

Upon hearing this, the Evil Eye Overlord's breathing became heavier, and his expression turned mad.

It laughed arrogantly: "Now that we have seen a higher possibility, now that we know that the divine martial soul is not the end of the world, we should naturally go to explore and find the sun that leads to the gods!"

Han Tao remained silent.

The years that have passed have allowed me to find a glimmer of hope in the endless darkness, a way to break through the barriers.

"Seeking new possibilities means sacrifice, and it also means negation."

To deny the results of painstaking exploration and to refute the possibilities of careful deliberation in the past.

Ning Rongrong raised her eyebrows: "Han Tao, are you scared?"

"Has your life in the arena of life and death robbed you of your youthful spirit, your courage to explore the unknown, and your fearlessness in the face of consequences?"

"Courage?" Han Tao said with a self-deprecating laugh, "I lack courage? No, I've never possessed courage!"

"The steps we take toward a bright future are built upon solid theoretical foundations and profound knowledge. Even if we fail, I can bear the consequences."

“But now.”

Han Tao stopped talking.

Ning Rongrong suddenly looked up and asked as if on cue, "Will this exploration require a great sacrifice?"

"Yes!"

"Only by abandoning the path of the Blue Silver Overlord can my 'Blue Silver Eyes' embark on the route to the realm of gods!"

She immediately interrupted, "No!"

"The Blue Silver Overlord is the most important sequence of the Blue Silver Clan. When you abandon it, other Blue Silver Grass will definitely take over this core sequence."

Ning Rongrong coldly swept her gaze northward, towards where A Yin was.

Ah Yin is not the focus, because besides her, there are countless other Blue Silver Grasses that have developed intelligence and are full of ambition, plotting to dominate the core sequence.

"What should I do?"

Ning Rongrong snapped her fingers: "Easy!"

"Why not just find another soul skill similar to Mirror Image?"

The Evil Eye Overlord's expression stiffened: "It's not that easy."

"Martial Soul Mirror Image, Martial Soul Shadow, Elemental Clone—these soul skills are incredibly rare, and each 'Body Split' signifies a hidden rank. How can they be easily obtained? It's unrealistic!"

Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly: "Han Tao, do you still remember the divine image?"

"Remember!"

"Then do you remember Qian Renxue's ninth soul skill: Angelic Illusion?"

"Remember!"

Han Tao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Rongrong, you mean..."

"Angelic phantoms, divine manifestations, are also hidden tiers for copying martial souls?"

Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong are both beings with great fortune. Although they did not grasp the "extra growth base" of Guzhu, the Spider Emperor's clone and the Angelic Illusion gave them the value of "hidden rank".

"Of course!" Ning Rongrong replied crisply.

"When you obtained information about the hidden rank, I naturally wanted to obtain that data as well. Therefore, I found other clone-type soul skills that exist in the world."

Awakening Martial Soul, Martial Soul Mirror Image, Martial Soul Shadow, Martial Soul True Body, Elemental Clone, Divine Illusion, Divine Dharma Form.

Han Tao paused, then asked, "Wouldn't that mean we'd have seven hidden ranks?"

"Unfortunately, I am already a peerless Douluo, and I can no longer obtain more stats by hiding my rank."

Ning Rongrong gently shook her head.

"That's a nice idea, but the rules of the Douluo Continent world limit the upper limit of hidden ranks!"

"How many?"

"5!"

Douluo Continent, Martial Soul Empire.

The perfectly fitted marble brick walls and the magnificent church dome convey the solemnity and reverence of this place.

Just then, a figure dressed in obscure clothing gradually became clearer in the air.

"It's you, the Lord of this Plane?"

Yu Luomian stood up and went to meet it.

The dimensional consciousness twitched its lips and said bluntly, "Yu Luomian, a survivor of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan?"

"Oh, no, it's a Soul Master who betrayed their clan?"

Yu Luomian frowned.

The Lord of the Planes' tone was somewhat harsh, but since I have done all this, I am not afraid of being criticized by anyone in any way.

"Yes! It's me!"

"Tell me, why did you come to me?"

The Lord of the Plane immediately spoke up: "I would like to ask you to help me deal with Han Tao!"

"What? Impossible!"

Yu Luomian waved his hand in refusal: "Han Tao's strength is obvious to all. Even His Holiness the Pope and Tang Chen are no match for him. You want me to help you? That's wishful thinking."

I picked up a cup of calming tea, poured in boiling water, and handed it over.

The dimensional consciousness interrupted: "I can't drink this stuff!"

Instead of continuing to blackmail Yu Luomian, it spoke from a perspective that most people would find perplexing: "Within the Blue Silver Clan, there are three core sequences: the Sovereign, the Emperor, and the Priest." "Among these three core sequences, the 'Blue Silver Sovereign' is the most important. Whoever controls the Blue Silver Sovereign controls everything within the Blue Silver Clan!"

Yu Luomian listened attentively, pondered deeply, and gently tapped the cracks in the marble with her fingers.

"and then?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

The dimensional consciousness smiled gently: "Do you know, whether Han Tao can emerge from the arena of life and death is predetermined."

Yu Luomian: "Oh, why?"

"Because in order to escape from the arena of life and death, one must understand the mystery of the obliteration of time and space. Only the obliteration of time and space can break the seal of the arena of life and death."

Yu Luomian was startled.

The power of annihilation is the path he has been relentlessly pursuing.

The obliteration of time and space is the last missing piece of the puzzle.

"Aren't you curious about how Han Tao managed to do that?"

"Be curious, please continue!"

The dimensional consciousness smiled calmly.

Take out a piece of paper. On the paper are drawn three specially evolved Blue Silver Grasses: "Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum", "Ghost Vine", and "Netherfire Flower Cup".

"Using the Ghost Vine and the Extraordinary Chrysanthemum, we will create the power to annihilate time and space, breaking the shackles of time and space!"

"Han Tao, oh Han Tao, he was undoubtedly a prodigy, but in my eyes, he's nothing but a skeleton in a tomb."

Yu Luomian remained silent.

The Purple Lightning Dragon, attached to his body, radiated extreme lightning power.

"Heavenly thunder and earthly fire merged into matter and annihilated!"

"The heavens and the netherworld merge into the obliteration of time and space!"

"Mastering the Blue Silver Dominator is equivalent to mastering the Blue Silver Dominator, which means mastering the annihilation of matter and the annihilation of spacetime. At that time, you will no longer fear Han Tao."

The dimensional consciousness stood with absolute confidence atop the dome of the Martial Soul Empire.

An endless greed surged within Yu Luomian, a greed that even surpassed the expectations of the plane's ruler.
"But, no!"

"The Blue Silver Sovereign is in Han Tao's hands. Although Han Tao cannot kill you, you cannot defeat him either. You cannot take the route to the Blue Silver Sovereign from him!"

The dimensional consciousness smiled gently.

"wait!"

"Believe me, the moment Han Tao abandons the Blue Silver Overlord, the opportunity will come very, very soon!"

"Here we are, right here!"

In the far north, amidst the cold and desolate landscape, snowflakes and silver leaves danced in succession.

The tall, strong, ten-thousand-year-old soul beast collapsed to the ground, its neck bearing a visible blade wound.

"No wonder Qian Renxue chose to come to the far north in the first place."

"This place is filled with ice-attribute soul beasts, and there is no soul beast origin that is compatible with the six-winged angel. However, the information about the angelic phantom can already cover up all the differences."

Han Tao stopped and stood there.

A black soul ring appeared on the skeleton of the soul beast before them.

Deep and dark.

"Now, guide its spirit rings, spirit beast essence, and spirit skill information!"

The energy was extracted by Han Tao and inscribed on his ninth spirit ring.

The original innate spirit ring and innate spirit power were transferred to the Blue Silver Demon Emperor's spirit ring.

"The ninth soul skill, blue silver virtual image!"

"I copied a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul from Douluo Continent. Now, it will inherit the Blue Silver Overlord sequence, opening up new possibilities for the evolution of my Blue Silver Eye!"

Hesitant, indecisive, or lingering.

After a long while, the sequence of the Blue Silver Overlord slowly dissipated, and the Overlord sequence within the illusory image rose slowly.

And right now.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

"Han Tao, we meet again!"

A wildly arrogant laugh echoed from the horizon.

It even gave a greeting, its expression and words revealing boundless unbridled freedom.

"It's you, the Lord of the Planes!"

Ning Rongrong coldly retorted, "What wicked scheme are you plotting now that you've come here?"

Beside the plane lord stood another figure in a grey robe, who peeled back his cloak in the sunlight to reveal a weathered, middle-aged face.

"Jade Crown?"

Han Tao suddenly looked at him: "Someone as smart as you shouldn't have made such an irrational choice."

"I don't think you should cooperate with the ruler of this plane. Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San are cautionary tales!"

Yu Luomian looked at Han Tao with a focused expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.

He knew how terrifying Han Tao was; his eyes were filled with ruthlessness and even more utter malice.

"The consciousness of the dimensional plane has given me an offer I cannot refuse!"

"Since we are destined to be enemies, there is nothing for us to argue about. Let the victor write the truth!"

Yu Luomian slowly stretched out her hand, and a small blue silver grass appeared on her fingers.

"Blue Silver Grass?"

Han Tao suddenly asked, "What do you mean?"

"The Spirit Hall has the Distraction Control Technique you exchanged for!"

"I have seized this wisp of Blue Silver Grass through possession, and I will use it to usurp your path as the Blue Silver Overlord!"

Yu Luomian's expression could be described as madness.

"Han Tao, how dare you abandon the path of the Sovereign? Why do you dare to do this? Don't you know that I will not let go of even the slightest chance!"

"A promising future filled with fireworks!"

His eyes were filled with longing, aggression, and desire.

The Blue Silver Grass in her hand also evolved under the guidance of the plane's consciousness, vying with Han Tao's "Blue Silver Illusion" for the "Blue Silver Overlord" sequence.

"Hahahahahaha."

"Han Tao, you will eventually lose him!"

"Because of the mistake you made in your haste, you will forever lose the 'Blue Silver Overlord,' and you will also forever lose the entire Blue Silver race that you have painstakingly evolved!"

The dimensional consciousness arrogantly proclaimed: "Everything you are proud of will vanish!"
