Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

The atmosphere fell silent instantly, and all the elders of the Holy Spirit Cult stared intently at Zhongli Wu, who had uttered those words.

They never imagined that Zhongliwu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, would say such a thing one day.

Moreover, his intense longing for fatherly love was so bizarre that it was hard to understand.

Indeed, at this moment, Zhongli Wu looked at Gad with the same gaze a child longing for his father's love.

Since birth, he has never felt any warmth, and he doesn't even know who his parents are. He only vaguely knows that his father's surname is Zhongli, and all other information is blank.

Every time he tried to ask his godmother Ye Xishui about his parents, she would coldly reply, "Your father is a scoundrel, and your mother is a pitiful woman who was ruined by him. But you should be glad that your mother ultimately sacrificed her life to give birth to you."

Even after becoming the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, the confusion in his heart never dissipated.

His martial soul is an evil martial soul, but this is not what he wanted; however, those so-called "righteous people" insisted that he was a "future evil soul master" and even asserted that he "can only be an evil soul master for the rest of his life".

It was as if his fate was nailed to the label of evil spirit master from the very beginning.

Even his godmother, Ye Xishui, told him, "You are destined to be an evil spirit master."

He was powerless to refute it and could only silently accept this identity, gradually ascending to the position of leader.

But after securing his position, he became even more confused: initially he did want to secretly control the Sun Moon Empire, but the plan ultimately failed.

There was more than one reason for the failure: Kong Deming's lightning attack with the worshippers was one, Ye Xishui's heartless abandonment was another, and Senior Long Xiaoyao's departure without saying goodbye was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This series of unexpected events completely pushed the Holy Spirit Church into a desperate situation.

Even with his immense strength, Zhongli Wu was ultimately helpless against those level-nine soul tools.

It was from that day on that he truly understood: Soul Masters had ultimately underestimated the speed of development and terrifying power of Soul Guidance Devices.

Looking at Zhongliwu, who was full of sincerity, Gad had no reason to refuse.

This is a powerful force delivered right to my doorstep. He slowly said, "If you want to embrace my power, you must work for me."

Even if you face the gods in the future, you must charge forward without hesitation and prove with your actions that you deserve this power.

"can you do it?"

Zhongli Wu remained silent for a moment, not giving a direct answer, but instead asking, "Godfather, what exactly is your purpose?"

"Attack the legendary Poseidon Island!"

"!!!"

The crowd erupted in an uproar. The elders, who had been silent, widened their eyes and stared intently at Gad, who had uttered those words.

Attack that legendary, perhaps even long-vanished, Poseidon Island? Is he serious?

Several elders couldn't help but swallow hard, their hearts filled with shock: This was simply impossible!

Shrek Academy's propaganda and records repeatedly emphasize how powerful Sea God Tang San is; if Sea God Island can really be found, wouldn't that mean that Sea God Tang San also really exists?
What's the difference between this and actively courting death?
"What? You don't dare?" Gad continued, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Zhongliwu. "I know you're confused right now, but as the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, you should be leading your followers to accomplish great things, not just living like this, cooped up here all day, barely surviving."

His voice suddenly rose, tinged with a hint of accusation: "Are you all willing to be rats that everyone hates and kills for the rest of your lives, until you are all slaughtered?"

"Rather than die such a cowardly death, choose a meaningful one and prove with your actions that your Holy Spirit Cult is not the 'rat' the world calls you, but a madman who dares to challenge God!"

At first, all the evil spirit masters were still in shock, but after hearing Gad's words, they couldn't help but exhale heavily. The excitement deep within them had been completely stirred by the young man's words. They didn't want to be rats that everyone wanted to kill! But their own martial spirit attributes had already determined their fate.

Because they are not accepted by the world, they can only hide in the Holy Spirit Church and are forced to live a life like "rats".

But now, the young people in front of them have given them another choice: either be a rat for life until they die in silence, or risk everything and make the world remember them forever.

The Holy Spirit Cult is made up of madmen who dare to challenge God!

This almost insane proposal completely ignited the fighting spirit of the Holy Spirit Cult's worshippers and elders, who had only wanted to "do some evil deeds in peace," and made them wholeheartedly agree with Gad's idea.

The first to step forward was Wu Yun. He knelt on one knee and said firmly, "Crow Douluo, your subordinate Wu Yun is willing to follow you and do everything in my power to implement the God Hunting Plan!"

Everyone was somewhat surprised that Wuyun was the first to agree.

It should be noted that Wu Yun was not originally a pure evil spirit master.

He was misunderstood and even hunted down as an evil soul master simply because his martial soul was of the dark attribute.

Driven to desperation, he killed all those who were hunting him down before finally joining the Holy Spirit Cult.

Over the years, through his actions, he gradually became known as a "true evil spirit master" in the eyes of the world; yet deep down, he always felt that life was meaningless.

Staying in the Holy Spirit Cult is nothing more than aimlessly searching for the so-called "holy son" and "holy daughter," but even if you find them, what good will it do?

It would be better to follow this young man and have a good fight.

Moreover, in his view, the young man in front of him was very likely an incarnation of a god, far stronger than those ethereal holy sons and daughters!
Seeing this, Nangong Wan remained silent for a moment before stepping forward and expressing his loyalty to Gad: "I originally thought that I would only be able to live this weak and meaningless life like this."

But if we do it like the adults say, it doesn't seem so bad; it's better than being a rat for the rest of my life.

Seeing that even the notoriously "cowardly" Second Elder Nangong Wan had stepped forward, everyone present no longer hesitated and stepped forward to offer their loyalty to Gade!
Gad looked at the scene before him without the slightest surprise on his face.

His "authority of loyalty" inherently possesses the power to influence others to a certain extent.

Even his clones were unaware of this: they thought that only extreme power could subdue these evil soul masters, but they did not know that the "authority" derived from his main body was the real source of terror.

Infecting hearts and minds and bestowing loyalty—that is the true use of the "authority of loyalty"!

"Since you have made a wise choice, I cannot show favoritism." Gade's voice carried a hint of authority. "As your loyal master, I now bestow upon you the 'Authority of Annihilation'!"

The moment he finished speaking, the terrifying annihilation power contained within him instantly swept through the entire cave.

Upon seeing this, Feng Ling immediately knelt down on one knee. Even though she had already experienced this power once, her fascination with it remained undiminished as she touched it again.

When everyone present felt the terrifying annihilation power emanating from Gard, they were first stunned, and then they forcibly suppressed the fear and shock in their hearts. They all looked like devout messengers, their eyes filled with longing for the "beauty of the gods"!

Zhongliwu, who was closest to Gad, felt it most deeply.

Previously stuck at a bottleneck and unable to progress, his level suddenly seemed to have a valve opened, and the surging soul power broke through the shackles like a flood, allowing him to directly break through to the "Limit Douluo" realm!
Wu Yun also jumped directly from level 95 to level 97, breaking through two levels in one go; while the rest of the people also increased their soul power to level 95, and their soul rings all became ten-thousand-year soul rings!

This incredible power, which can be described as a "miracle," both shocked and excited them, and their worship of Ghad reached its peak!
Meanwhile, in an abandoned site of the Holy Spirit Cult, a lingering divine power suddenly stirred.
