Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 167 The Fragmented Planetary Will, Dominating the Power of the Earth's Veins

On the outskirts of Donghai City, at a hidden factory of the Beast Machine Merchant Guild, dozens of meters underground, in a deep and unfathomable cave, dark and gloomy, only filled with a thick, abyss-like aura.

The cave was completely silent, as if time had stood still and the years had stopped.

A young man sat cross-legged there, his figure handsome and his features exquisite, yet he was silent and still, as if he had been gone for a long time and had become one with the earth's veins, as if he had been sleeping for thousands of years.

However, in the midst of this silence, the boy suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling like an endless starry sky, deep and unfathomable.

Those eyes were like an inverted galaxy, seemingly capable of devouring everything; once gazed upon, one felt as if falling into an abyss from which there was no escape.

At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to tremble, the primordial energy became even more intense, and a thick, earthy yellow halo rose from the depths of the earth's veins, enveloping the young man as if the spirit of the earth had awakened, showing him great favor.

The boy was surrounded by a radiant light, seemingly resonating with the earth, and the primordial energy coiled around him like dragons and snakes.

It's been three years.

Chen Zhou slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. A year ago, he had a premonition that the inscription of the Earth Spirit Runes was near, so he chose a place where no one would disturb him, went deep underground, and secluded himself to comprehend it.

Who would have thought that the inscription, which should have taken less than three days to complete, would be delayed for a whole year.

Douluo Star.
The true heavens are dead.
Feeling the earth's veins returning to their source, feeling the grudges hidden within the planet.

Chen Zhou was well aware that the two cowardly rats he had previously observed had likely completed their injury repairs and were now intent on completely devouring the core of Douluo Star, thereby usurping its power and gaining complete control over the planet's resources.

However, the core of Douluo Star is not so easy to devour. It possesses self-awareness, and even if its intelligence is obliterated, it still has a self-protection mechanism and can even resist the erosion of outsiders to a certain extent.

During his seclusion deep within the earth's veins, Chen Zhou not only successfully inscribed the spirit runes of the earth, but also unexpectedly sensed the call from the planet's core.

It was a faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation, as if it were pleading for help. Chen Zhou initially paid no attention, but as he ventured deeper into the earth's veins, his connection with the planet's core grew stronger.

The spiritual runes of "Earth" engraved at the core of the spirit also continuously resonated, responding to the call of the remaining planetary consciousness.

The earth's veins possess a spirit, and the planet's consciousness can easily command the power of the earth's veins, thus leading to this year-long period of secluded cultivation.

Chen Zhou did not stop this from happening. After all, the planetary consciousness was only a remnant, and it came seeking refuge with part of its core. Why not let Chen Zhou completely dominate everything?

As for bearing such consequences, Chen Zhou said he didn't need to care at all.

The power of the earth veins was continuously absorbed by the omnipresent "earth" spiritual runes in the spiritual world, transforming into a powerful force to repair the shattered soul that lay dormant in the deepest part of the spiritual sea.

With the inscription of the spiritual runes of "Earth" and the submission of some planetary wills, the land of the spiritual world is now rising, the sea is churning, and towering mountains are rising from the ground, as if announcing the transformation of this spiritual world.

The first inscribed "Water" spirit rune resonated and vibrated, its ripples seemingly responding to something. The sea surged, waves crashed against the shore, and the power of the water spirit rune intertwined with that of the earth spirit rune, forming a wondrous balance. At this moment, Chen Zhou's spiritual world seemed to transform into a miniature universe, a world in its nascent beginnings, where everything was developing towards greater perfection. Wind, fire, earth, and water—the four elements—are hailed as the foundation of the world.

At this moment, with the completion of the inscription of the two spiritual runes, "Earth" and "Water," and their resonance, they are constantly radiating unparalleled power, nourishing Chen Zhou's spiritual world and allowing his strength to achieve a qualitative leap.

Even the next "Wind" spirit rune was half-engraved in that instant.

There was no need for Chen Zhou to actively expend his energy to inscribe it; the two spiritual runes, "Earth" and "Water," could guide the formation of the spiritual rune of "Wind" little by little through continuous resonance. Chen Zhou could clearly feel that his spiritual world was expanding and stabilizing at an unprecedented speed, as if it was becoming more complete and powerful every moment.

This transformation wasn't limited to the spiritual realm; Chen Zhou's physical body also underwent a profound and subtle improvement. The nourishment from the earth's veins made his body more resilient, as if every inch of his skin and every bone contained boundless power. Meanwhile, the resonance with the water spirit runes made his alchemical energy purer and more profound, as if every strand of energy contained endless vitality.

Chen Zhou slowly stood up, feeling the surging power within his body. A slight smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips.

"It's time to go out."

Chen Zhou muttered to himself, then his figure flashed, causing the surrounding space to ripple slightly, and he disappeared into the deep ley line cave.

Inside the president's office of the Beast Machine Merchant Guild headquarters building.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Long Hengxu's eyes widened in fury, and he looked like an enraged lion. He pointed at Huo Wuji, who held immense power throughout the entire Douluo Continent, and cursed, "Do you know how many hairs I've turned white trying to spread this new teaching method throughout the East China Sea?"

"And now you've actually agreed to Shrek Academy's exchange competition?"

"Huo Wuji, have you lost your mind?!"

Long Hengxu's anger erupted like a volcano; his voice echoed in the spacious office, causing the windowpanes to tremble slightly. As a promoter of educational reform in the Donghai region, he had devoted countless efforts to gradually establish new teaching philosophies in various intermediate and advanced colleges. However, Huo Wuji's decision filled him with unprecedented frustration and anger.

He knew better than anyone that even if Shrek Academy's educational methods were wrong or even abnormal, it was undeniable that, for the past twenty or even thirty or forty years, the individual quality of its students remained unsurpassed.

In the East China Sea region, where modern education has only been popularized for half a year, it is likely that after those scumbags from Shrek Academy demonstrated their personal abilities to those children whose values ​​have not yet been fully formed, they will begin to doubt modern education and even shake the confidence they have worked so hard to build.

Huo Wuji sat behind his desk, his expression calm, as if Long Hengxu's anger had no effect on him.
