Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 654 Heading Towards Death
What am I here for?

The abyss sea is not illuminated by sunlight, and Han Tao is hidden in the shadows. Zhu Zhuqing can see his faint smile through the mist.

I've come to resurrect someone!

"Someone the gods never expected!"

The Evil God King witnessed Han Tao using the Destruction Furnace to shatter Zhu Zhuqing's soul, which is why he could act so superior and claim to have mastered every detail.

Han Tao slowly sent Zhu Zhuqing's soul under the Space-Time Embedded Soul Ring.

With the gods watching and Zhu Zhuqing's resurrection before their eyes, it means that no living being can interfere with Han Tao's actions, and everything that follows will inevitably be overturned.

"What do you mean?"

"Zhu Zhuqing," possessing the Netherworld White Tiger, looked at Han Tao blankly. "Han Tao, what is the point of what you're doing? Don't think that just because you protected me from the past, I'll be at your beck and call!"

Han Tao simply looked at her calmly and asked, "Who are you?"

The illusion was triggered, emotions intertwined, and the power of space permeated her mind, reading everything in her memory.

"A projection of the consciousness of an evil god!"

"She is not Zhu Zhuqing; she is still a projection of the evil god's consciousness."

Han Tao vaguely understood the answer.

The plot failed, so Han Tao once again used the Time-Space Inscription technique to arrive in the sky above the Martial Soul Empire.

"You're back?"

The God of Destruction showed no surprise as he glanced at Han Tao, at the intertwined shadows in the sky.

"This time you traveled through the past, which took a total of five hours, so five hours also passed in reality."

"That's not important!" Han Tao shook his head.

Oscar, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong have already inherited their divine positions. Under the guidance of the gods, they are learning various divine skills passed down within the divine realm.

"Resurrection Light!"

This complete divine skill was once again displayed before Ning Rongrong.

There was a faint connection between the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda and the Nine-Leaf Blue Silver Grass; she could hear Han Tao's voice, a transmission that transcended the power of the mind.

"Zhu Zhuqing did not come back to life!"

"The Nine-Colored Goddess and the God of Food resurrected a projection of the evil god's consciousness. He has once again taken over Zhu Zhuqing's body and seized the Netherworld White Tiger's martial spirit!"

Ning Rongrong raised her voice.

Oscar asked, puzzled, "Then what should we do?"

"The gem that the Goddess of Life removed contains a second soul, and that soul is our classmate, the true soul of Zhu Zhuqing."

Ye Lingling nodded gently: "The Goddess of Life didn't pay attention to that stone. I can take it, but what's the point of resurrecting Zhu Zhuqing after we take it?"

"Could she possibly defeat the Evil God King and regain control of the Netherworld White Tiger?"

"cannot!"

Ning Rongrong shook her head decisively, "But she can destroy her own martial spirit, destroy her own Netherworld Cat, and thus cause the Netherworld White Tiger to collapse!"

"However, the problem is," Oscar hesitated, "that she might not be willing to do it!"

“Zhu Zhuqing would be willing. Davis and the Star Luo Emperor both died at the hands of the Evil God. Zhu Zhuqing is a Soul Master trained by the Star Luo Empire. She will always remember the kindness of the Star Luo Empire. If she has the chance to take revenge, she will never forget it for the rest of her life.”

"Shall I go get the gems now?"

Ye Lingling asked in confusion.

"Not urgent!"

Ning Rongrong interrupted again, extending her Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda and taking the Nine-Leaf Blue Silver given to her by Han Tao, which together with the Nine Heart Begonia formed the "Digital Tower".

With the power of calculation exhausted and the possibilities of the future anticipated, the driving forces of all change were flashing in Ning Rongrong's eyes, and she saw clearly the path to success.

"Go!"

Ye Lingling obeyed the order, arrived at the meeting place of the Divine Realm Committee, and took down the gem that no one had paid attention to.

Then, he returned and handed the gem to Ning Rongrong.

"It's our turn!"

The power of the resurrection light shone upon the gem, and Zhu Zhuqing's true soul was revived under the light. At the same time, the evil god king also received this message.

"what!"

"Damn it!"

Within the Netherworld, the Evil God King roared and screamed with a face full of madness.

"What are you doing!"

The Lord of Beings was even more enraged. It did not understand what the evil god-king was up to, so it used its mind to try to control the evil god.

"--snort!"

"Things have come to this point, I don't need to pretend anymore!"

The arena of life and death suddenly flickered between his fingers, and his figure vanished into nothingness beneath the boundless blue-silver realm. The arena, born of life and death, sheltered life. "Lord of Life, you cannot control me!"

"Including you and Han Tao, all of your Blue Silver Grass combined are no match for me!"

The evil god-king laughed maniacally.

The power of the chasm is the highest sublimation of the power of judgment. This chasm was born in the Netherworld. He used the power of creation fused from the chasm to guide his own rank to complete the sublimation of the sequence.

Level: 150→151
"Level 151, this brand new rank, I call God Emperor!"

His smile slowly faded, because a brief breakthrough of one level could not fundamentally change his strength.

"Damn it!"

The Lord of Living Beings cursed.

The immense pressure from the Blue Silver Realm pressed down on the arena of life and death, and a fierce battle between the two planes suddenly erupted.

"here it is"

"What's wrong with me?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her finger and looked around blankly.

"You are resurrected!"

Her memory remains stuck in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, many years ago.

"I remember now, after I discovered the results of my research on Guzhu, I was killed by Han Tao!"

She gritted her teeth, unable to understand, "Why, why did Han Tao want to kill me? I clearly didn't offend him."

"You tell me!"

Ning Rongrong glanced at Oscar, so Oscar stepped forward and slowly recounted the many events that had occurred after Zhu Zhuqing's death.

A long time, a long time.

"you mean"

"After I died, the Evil God King possessed my body and then used the Netherworld Cat to devour the martial souls of Davis, Dai Mubai, and the Star Luo Emperor?"

Oscar nodded in agreement, "That's right!"

Zhu Zhuqing's face was extremely ashamed. "I didn't do this! I never intended to betray the empire."

"Do you want me to do something after you've resurrected me? But I can't do anything. I'm not a god; I'm just an ordinary person in shackles."

Zhu Zhuqing looked dejected, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and sadness.

"You can kill your own martial spirit!"

"Without the Netherworld Cat, the Netherworld White Tiger is no longer as powerful, and the Evil God King is no longer a match for Han Tao!"

Ye Lingling calmly recounted that there was no friendship between her and Zhu Zhuqing, and even a hint of disgust between them.

"Kill your own martial spirit?"

Zhu Zhuqing summoned her martial spirit, and an unprecedentedly powerful Netherworld White Tiger appeared in the sky. If she wanted to, she could use the power of this martial spirit when the other "Zhu Zhuqing" was not in control.

"No!"

Within the realm of gods, a second "Zhu Zhuqing" appeared.

"Zhu Zhuqing, this is a martial soul of God-King level. Are you really willing to give up everything you already have?"

The evil god's consciousness spoke seductively, "I can give you a portion of the power of the Netherworld White Tiger. The entire Star Luo Empire, and even the Martial Soul Empire, will grovel before your will. Don't you yearn for such a future?"

Zhu Zhuqing seemed hesitant, once again lingering in place.

"I promise you!"

"I don't want to destroy my own martial soul either, but you need to hand over control of your martial soul to me now!"

The evil consciousness smiled with satisfaction, and Zhu Zhuqing instantly realized that her connection with the Netherworld White Tiger had deepened, and she could easily control the "Netherworld White Tiger".

However, just as the evil god's consciousness was satisfied...
An unexpected thing happened: Zhu Zhuqing suddenly became filled with hatred, as if the destruction of the entire Star Luo Empire was due to the martial spirit in front of her.

"Without it, the Star Luo Empire would not have been destroyed, and Davis would not have died!"

"I don't know how to evolve a martial soul, but how to degenerate a martial soul is something I can do with ease!"

Suddenly.
The Netherworld White Tiger split into two parts. The remnants of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger lingered in the sky, while the remaining Netherworld Spirit Cat degenerated once again, continuously falling from the God-King level.
"No, no!"

The projection of the evil god roared in anger.

He admitted his arrogance, assuming the girl before him would find it hard to relinquish the power that was within his grasp. But he underestimated human will, and the human spirit's willingness to bravely face death.

Zhu Zhuqing's body suddenly burst into flames, her soul and life burning. The "Netherworld White Tiger" had degenerated to its limit, swaying in the flames along with her life and soul, resembling smoke and dust.

"Uh"

The evil god's consciousness watched this scene and fell into a long silence.

She died, she died along with the Netherworld White Tiger, and what she exchanged her life and soul for was nothing more than the loss of value of one of her consciousness clones.
