Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 206 Changes in Soul Skills
Gula closed his eyes and felt the surging vitality within his body. The spirit of the golden ancient tree stretched its branches in his sea of ​​spirit, each golden leaf shimmering with starlight.

Suddenly, the vines hanging from the dome of the meditation room began to move without wind, their emerald-green fluorescence dancing among the leaves, as if paying homage to the newborn child of nature.

He raised his right hand, and the golden-green aura formed from the essence of the ancient golden tree flowed in his palm, causing the immortal herb seeds, which had been offered as sacrifice, to take shape on their own, ready to be planted and sprout at any time.

"Thank you, Old Tree."

Gula thanked him sincerely. Although this meant that he would have to find another soul spirit for his first martial soul, if it could really help the Golden Ancient Tree soul spirit evolve into the Tree of Life, what did the seven immortal herbs matter?
He can travel through time and space continuously, and the one thing he has never lacked is resources!
Seven plants aren't enough for the ferocious beast, then seventy! Seven hundred!

Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor could evolve into the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor, so Gula didn't believe that the Golden Ancient Tree, with its better foundation and higher essence, couldn't evolve into the Tree of Life.

"No need for thanks. With the Seed of Life as the guide and the Seven Deadly Beasts as the base of the array, you will go further than I have."

The old, withered branches of the tree traced mysterious paths in the air, as if in remembrance or perhaps looking to the future.

Gula groaned, feeling as if some shackles deep within his soul had been broken, and the seven phantoms left their marks on the golden tree branch.

"Remember, beware of the sea god."

The old tree showed obvious signs of fatigue, gave a final word of advice, and slowly dissipated from the meditation room.

The surrounding spacetime fluctuations intensified again. Gula was unwilling to miss this only opportunity for meditation, so he drew upon the spacetime power within the void. Gradually, the subtle spacetime vortexes twisted into spiral-shaped bands of light, enveloping the boy in a misty emerald haze.

A month passed in this way.

The meditation room suddenly trembled violently. The roar of ancient giant trees sprouting resounded in Gula's ears. The gnarled roots of the golden ancient tree pierced the void, manifesting in the spiritual world as a tree net covering the entire spiritual sea.

Gula's pupils contracted, and pale golden life essence seeped from his pores, revealing wood textures beneath his skin that were identical to those of the ancient golden tree.

The third spirit ring appeared automatically, its green-gold halo adorned with wisps of silver, like stars dotting the night sky, while countless plant seeds projected like a cascading galaxy.

Under the coordination of the Golden Ancient Tree Central Hub, an unprecedented genetic recombination and hybridization began, and countless rare plants grew wildly within the ring space, forming a miniature ecological forest.

The ancient golden tree sighed from the depths of the soul ring, and tender buds quietly sprouting at the top of its crown were rearranging and combining the genetic sequences of the seven immortal herbs and ferocious beasts.

The rotation of the spacetime vortex suddenly accelerated. When Gula opened his eyes again, his watch showed that only thirty days had passed in the outside world, but he felt as if he had actually experienced a spring night, autumn night, and winter night in the spacetime rift.

The moment he opened his palm, a force of 200,000 kilograms squeezed the air, creating a sonic boom. The life force emanating from between his fingers instantly covered the floor of the meditation room with blue silver grass.

He clenched his fist, looking at his fair skin. Who would have thought that beneath it lay a power capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks? "If I were to unleash this punch, even a Title Douluo would be unable to withstand it without using a defensive soul skill!"

He absorbed about 20% of the energy from the Golden Ancient Tree, and also absorbed about 1% of its original essence.

His soul power only increased by two levels, but his physique improved greatly thanks to the contributions of many plants. He could easily withstand two more 100,000-year soul rings.

Gula loosened his fist and stroked the life seed throbbing in his heart. This represented not only an identity, but also the gene pool of the natural world of Douluo Star, which was priceless to him and the Golden Tree.

He released Celebi's spirit to divert attention: "Then there's the change in spirit skills. After 100,000 years, each spirit ring still contains a spirit skill, but the quality has increased several times over."

"Especially since my spiritual power successfully reached the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, and I gained a slight understanding of the power of spacetime, if I were to travel through spacetime again, I could at least last a few more seconds in the spacetime turbulence." "The Golden Tree Spirit and I have completely merged, becoming one. If I weren't still below the God level, I could have even given birth to my third Martial Soul. My Soul Skills have also undergone a transformation in this process..."

Gula carefully sensed the spirit rings and absorbed the new spirit skill information.

"The Boundless Forest Domain increases the speed of domain expansion and plant growth tenfold. It can differentiate into five types of plants that can be used as generals to help maintain the domain and guard the five directions."

Gula carefully comprehended and realized that this was not the limit of his first soul skill. The sacrifice of seven immortal herbs and ferocious beasts, along with the Seed of Life, made Gula a true child of nature.

At the same time, the Ancient Tree Spirit, being of the same rank as the Child of Nature, shared Groudon's status as the Child of Nature and its divine beast origin, which in turn strengthened Groudon's soul skills.

If this continues to evolve, Celebi's spirit rings will become a set of incredibly useful divine skills, perfectly in line with the authority of the forest and nature.

Gula took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

"Is this the authority of the Child of Nature? It is indeed powerful, especially considering that I am both the Child of Nature and the God of the Forest."

Gula shook his head vigorously, the old tree's warning before it disappeared echoing in his ears: if Tang San were to return with a group of god kings from the great god realm, his abilities would not be enough, and he still had a long way to go.

After calming down a bit, Gula continued to sense the soul skills.

"Second soul skill, all things in the universe."

"It is still a spiritual soul skill, but it has been modified from a simple illusion soul skill to have some added attack power. When the enemy is lost in the illusion maze, it will draw on the enemy's life force and spiritual power to replenish itself."

"The Illusion Maze has enhanced the sense of spatial and temporal disorientation, making it more than ten times more difficult than the original Illusion Maze!"

"With peak Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power, using the Myriad Manifestations of the Universe on a single target, even a late-stage Spirit Domain Realm cultivator would not be able to break free immediately."

It should be understood that cultivating spiritual power is difficult, and the number of people with spiritual power at the Divine Origin Realm on the mainland is probably less than a handful.

"So, that means I can even control a Limit Douluo for a second?"

Gula was momentarily stunned. Was he really that strong?

Isn't this cheating a bit too outrageous?
"No!"

Gula shook his head. Compared to a certain born dragon god, his little cheat was nothing.

Even Soul Kings spar with God Kings, yet he's concerned about controlling mortals for a few seconds. His vision isn't far-sighted enough.

Strictly speaking, in the Pokémon world, Groudon is a first-level legendary Pokémon, while Celebi's Forest God is only a second-level legendary Pokémon. The reason why Groudon can achieve balance is because Celebi's origin is very complete.

Now that the Child of Nature and the Golden Tree spirit have been added, the potential of the twin martial souls is truly on par.

"Two first-level divine bloodlines are still far from enough compared to two divine king bloodlines."
