Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 640 Diversity of Life Forms

“Every world has gone through countless eras and epochs. These eras and epochs are passed down as shadows, which we call the Shadows of Epochs!”

"And in the infinite world, every civilization born from every race will give birth to its own emblem and language, and I have named this strange power."

The God of Destruction frowned.

Destruction didn't speak; he simply looked at Shura, and Shura understood what he was trying to say.

"Every ethnic group?"

"Wouldn't it be extremely easy to break through to the God-King level?"

The God of Destruction's doubts did not last long; he received the Asura God's answer from his mind.

"No, no, no, it's not that simple!"

"Douluo Continent, Fairy Continent, Heavenly Jewel Transformation World (the transformed name), all of humanity can only be considered as a civilization emblem."

"All the soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, including plants, animals, and marine life, including dragons and phoenixes, as well as all sorts of strange creatures, can only be considered as a symbol of civilization!"

The Asura God King slowly raised his finger.

The flow of consciousness also resonated among the God-Kings. Humans, Soul Beasts, Fairies, Demons, and Beastmen each represented five different civilization emblems, while the Asura God had not provided answers for the remaining four missing dimensions.

"And the rest?" the God of Destruction asked, transmitting his thoughts.

"I don't know about the rest either. I need you to gather the power of the gods to find the remaining four civilization emblems for me."

"Finding these civilization emblems not only means that the Seven Deadly Sins can ascend to the God-King level, but it also means that we can gain an additional God-King rank, which is an enhancement to our strength!"

The Asura God-King smiled gently, conveying his thoughts to the gods.

"Since orcs can be independent of humans and soul beasts, can elves be considered a separate civilization?" the Goddess of Life asked.

"no!"

“Elves don’t count. Elves and orcs share the same symbolism, as do many other humanoid creatures; they all belong to the same species.”

The evil god-king refuted this statement.

He actually knew about the "civilization emblem" given by the Asura God King, but he had kept it a secret. Now that they had announced it, he might as well reveal some of his findings as well.

"Fairies and demons are unique enough to give birth to unique symbols of civilization."

"The ancient Netherworld we encountered before can also be considered a special race, and it was also able to give birth to a civilization emblem."

Han Tao could not hear the conversation above the divine realm.

While Han Tao could clearly see them, and the vibrations in the air were also distinctly clear, this time, due to the Asura God's deliberate actions, the conversation between the God Kings avoided Han Tao's perception.

"Evil Eye, do you have any ideas?"

Evil Eye stared intently at the God of Asura, "I have no idea."

“The method of communicating through the mind is too far removed from us, and even if this energy could be observed, it would be difficult to infer the content they are saying.”

Han Tao's tone softened, "No rush!"

“My illusory realm records everything that happens within the scene, and you can repeatedly explore their conversations.”

"This is your next evolutionary direction!"

"No matter the form of conversation or the form of information transmission, no matter where it is hidden, it cannot escape the perception of the Eye of Time!"

The Evil Eye Tyrant remained silent once again.

Even now, the Eye of Time has reached a strength unimaginable to itself, yet Han Tao is as greedy as an insatiable glutton.

"Fine."

"I will continue to explore, and I will continue to deepen the martial soul of Eye of Time."

Han Tao turned to the side and asked, "Lord of Living Beings, can you deduce the content of their conversation?"

"cannot!"

The Lord of Living Beings refused without even thinking.

"The scope of my mind is limited. My mental power cannot traverse the distance of several worlds. Moreover, there is a benevolent God-King in the God Realm who can refute my power."

"Um"

Han Tao remained silent.

With his head bowed and eyebrows drooping, he looked once again at the realm of gods, at those god-kings who towered high in the sky and among the stars.

"Hey"

"Some of them have come down!" The Goddess of Life slowly descended; this was a projection of her consciousness. They feared Han Tao's strength and dared not descend to the lower realm in person.

"Goddess of Life, what brings you here?" Han Tao asked.

"One deal!"

"It's still a transaction!"

The Goddess of Life smiled. "The Asura God-King has revealed the fifth way to advance to the God-King level, making his intention to make a deal clear. He wants to use you to find the remaining (Civilization Emblems), and he knows you won't refuse this deal!"

Han Tao remained silent for a moment.

The "fifth God-King rank" gave Han Tao an irresistible reason to refuse; obtaining it would make him stronger, but at the same time...
In the realm of gods, they will also receive the same method of advancement.

Then the "Seven Elements" and the "Seven Deadly Sins" successively broke through to the God King, further perfecting the order of the God Realm plane.

And
If the "civilization emblem" that Han Tao finds is the same as the one he has already obtained, then Han Tao's exploration will have been in vain;
If they are different, they can obtain the answers Han Tao is looking for, and through mutual complementarity, they can find the fifth God-King rank. However, Han Tao cannot obtain the information from their conversation, and may not be able to obtain this "God-King Rank".

"This time, they've mastered the information gap!"

Han Tao sighed softly: "The disadvantage in information means the disadvantage in the war situation. Although my vision has become so powerful that it can penetrate the world, comprehend time, and pierce through cause and effect, it still hasn't given me the upper hand."

The information about the civilized emblem has been obtained.

The path to finding the nine "civilization emblems" has been broken, and everything seems within reach. However, Han Tao understands that beneath the huge bait lies an abyss that will devour anyone who dares to steal it.

"Goddess of Life, when you return, please tell Shura that I approve of his good intentions!"

"Um"

The goddess of life nodded gently, and the projection of consciousness dissipated with the wind.

She did not do anything to provoke Han Tao, because she knew that if she angered him, her consciousness projection would explode in an instant.

"Civilization Emblem."

Han Tao gave a sneer, "Asura God, you've got a good plan!"

With a wave of the hand, the illusion flickers gently.

Humans, Soul Beasts, Fairies, Demons, Orcs, Elves, Netherworld Spirits, Minion Spirits, Goblins, Phoenixes, Dragons, and Primordial Beasts.

All the creatures mentioned by the five God-Kings of the Divine Realm, even those they had never seen before, were drawn up by Han Tao and gathered into seven Civilization Emblems.

"Only seven?"

Han Tao sighed softly, and the illusion flickered once more.

Microorganisms, ethereal life, atmospheric life, metallic life, elemental life, digital life, and the cluster of world wills—numerous possibilities surround the palm of one's hand, once again converging to form six civilization emblems.

"Thirteen Civilization Emblems—I got everything I wanted, but this is an illusion, not reality."

"If I did this on the Douluo Continent, I could certainly gain an extra God-King rank, but I would also be seen through by those high and mighty gods."

Han Tao hesitated.
After a long while, he suddenly laughed and looked up at the sky, "Asura God, your idea is excellent!"

"I will give you the answers, nine different symbols of civilizations, but I hope you can understand them and replicate them."

The ethereal life—the red spider lily—is giving birth to the shimmering emblem of civilization.

The Asura God remained silent, then turned to look to the side, saying, "You know."

"Among the many lower worlds, where can one find void life?"

The goddess of life shook her head. "I've never seen such a life form before."

Destruction, evil, and good all shook their heads. They could see Han Tao summoning his martial spirit and understand it, but they could not replicate it.

"Next comes digital civilization."

Han Tao continued to relay the message.

Without even concealing the truth of what they were telling, in the void world, the blue silver grass was arranged in a crisscross pattern, evoking countless 0s and 1s to give birth to some unknown life form.

Another symbol of civilization has been formed and put into place.

"Uh"

The Asura God King looked horrified.

His trembling body and involuntary waving fingers testified to his inner turmoil.

"The Void—the Other Shore Flower—is something that many god-kings can understand, but cannot replicate. However, the digital life that Han Tao is creating is something they cannot understand or replicate. They don't even know why such a life exists in this world?"

"Could it be that my long history has made me less knowledgeable than this native?"
