Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

……

Suddenly, an invisible wave enveloped the entire Lake of Life without warning.

This fluctuation had neither earth-shattering momentum nor any divine pressure.

But the moment it appeared, the once bustling forest fell into a deathly silence.

The wind stopped, and the water became still.

Even Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's incessant chatter seemed to be forcibly sealed by some force, freezing it in mid-air.

Huo Yuhao was terrified. He subconsciously tried to activate his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, but found that his soul power seemed to have solidified and he could not mobilize it at all.

Immediately afterwards, three figures appeared out of thin air above the lake, as if they had stepped out of a painting.

In the center stood a man in a black robe, with white hair flowing down his shoulders. His handsome face was otherworldly, and his deep eyes seemed to contain the stars of the entire universe.

On the left is a stunningly beautiful woman in a long silver dress, noble and aloof, exuding a supreme dragon aura that makes all soul beasts want to bow down in worship.

On his right was a girl who looked about the same age as him, with purple hair and green eyes, looking around with curiosity, and exuding a refreshing and invigorating aura of life.

"This...this is..."

Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted sharply.

Although he had never met these three people, he could sense that they represented an absolute crushing power on a life level.

Even the Limit Douluo and demigod powerhouses he had met in the Douluo Federation would probably be nothing more than ants in front of these three.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which had been boasting, was now trembling with fat all over, its small eyes wide open, and its mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

"Xuan... Boss Xuanming?!"

"And... Lord Dragon God?!"

Tianmeng let out a pig-like scream, and without thinking, she sprang up from the lotus leaf and knelt on the ground with a "thud," her head hitting the ground so fast it could spark.

"Waaaaah! Boss! Lord Dragon God! You've finally arrived!"

"Xiao Tianmeng, I've missed you all so much! I've been waiting for you to come back and uphold justice!"

Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded.

Is this the same Tianmeng who was just giving him pointers and talking badly about the gods? His change of attitude is too fast!
Xuanming looked down at the fleshy ball that was still frantically kowtowing on the ground, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

"Okay, stop acting."

Xuanming spoke calmly, instantly silencing Tianmeng's sobs, "You've had a pretty comfortable life on Douluo Star for the past few thousand years, haven't you? Bibi Dong made you work in the God Realm, and you ran off here to escape the hustle and bustle?"

"Hehe... well... boss, I was just trying to help you out."

Tianmeng got up from the ground, rubbing her little hands with a fawning expression. "I thought the soul beasts on Douluo Star also needed guidance, and as the hope of the whole village, it was my duty!"

Xuanming was too lazy to expose this guy's little scheme.

His gaze passed over Tianmeng and landed on the boy sitting cross-legged on the bluestone.

With short, dark blue hair and bright, expressive eyes, she still managed to straighten her back even when facing the oppressive aura of a descending deity.

Is this Huo Yuhao?
The chosen one who attempted to challenge the order of "Heaven"?
"Are you Huo Yuhao?" Xuanming asked.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in his heart, stood up, and respectfully bowed: "Junior Huo Yuhao greets... greets senior."

He didn't know Xuanming, but he wasn't stupid.

The person who can be called "Boss" and "Dragon God" by Tianmeng must be a legendary big shot in the divine realm.

"senior?"

Xuanming looked at him with a half-smile, "Wasn't this fat worm just telling you my story? What, now that you're in person, you can't recognize me?"

Huo Yuhao was startled and looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You...you are..."

"The Primordial God?!"

The one that the church enshrines at the highest point, that the world reveres yet gradually forgets—Heaven?

"Looks like he's not too stupid."

Xuanming smiled slightly, then slowly descended and stood in front of Huo Yuhao.

Gu Yuena and Yan Ling'er also landed. Yan Ling'er curiously approached Huo Yuhao, looking him up and down as if he were some rare animal. "I heard you want to overturn the rules I set back then?"

Xuanming looked at Huo Yuhao, his tone calm and unreadable, "You want to replace my Soul Ring Cycle System with that Soul Spirit System?"

Huo Yuhao's heart tightened.

Is this an accusation?
If it were any other god, they might be furious, feeling that this was blasphemy.

But facing this legendary "heaven," Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable courage.

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and looked directly into Xuanming's eyes. "This junior dares to say that although the rules you established back then resolved the conflict, they are no longer applicable with the development of the times."

"The Soul Ring Cycle System, while protecting Soul Beasts, still leaves death as an inevitable end for those with advanced intelligence. And Soul Masters can only passively accept power."

"The Soul Spirit System is an equal contract, a symbiotic relationship of life. It allows Soul Beasts to retain their individuality, and it also allows Soul Masters to gain closer companions. I believe... this is the future!"

"Even if I'm wanted by the church, even if I'm misunderstood by the world, I will persevere. Because I believe that this is the greatest respect for life!"

What he said was very resounding.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, standing to the side, was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She desperately tried to wink at Huo Yuhao: "Ancestor! Can't you speak properly? Saying the rules are outdated in front of the person who made them? Do you have a death wish?"
However, Xuanming was not angry.

Instead, as he looked into Huo Yuhao's firm and clear eyes, the smile in his eyes grew stronger.

"good."

Xuanming nodded and even clapped his hands. "You have some backbone. Compared to those church parasites who only kneel and kowtow before idols but secretly engage in immoral acts, you're more like a human being."

"Rules are dead, people are alive."

"If the rules are outdated, then change them. If 'Heaven' is wrong, then defy Heaven."

"As long as your original intention is good, and as long as your direction is right, I don't mind if someone challenges my authority."

At this point, Xuanming turned to look at Gu Yuena.

"Na'er, what do you think of this child?"

Gu Yuena smiled slightly, her eyes revealing admiration: "Pure spiritual power, firm will, and a faint trace of dimensional luck. He is indeed a rare talent. Moreover, I like his attitude towards soul beasts very much."

"That's good."

Xuanming turned around and looked at Huo Yuhao.

"Kid, since you want to change the rules, I'll give you a chance."

"However, mere words are not enough. To overthrow the old order, you need the power to break it."

"You are too weak now."

Xuanming extended a finger and gently touched Huo Yuhao's brow.

"boom--!!!"

A vast, ocean-like flow of information instantly surged into Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. It wasn't a direct infusion of power, but rather knowledge about laws, cultivation, and the essence of this world...

"This is my gift to you."

Xuanming withdrew his hand. "Comprehend it carefully. I will come to see you again when you have enough strength."

"If you can still stick to your beliefs when the time comes, I don't mind... lending you a hand."

After saying that, Xuanming stopped and, with Gu Yuena and Yanling'er, slowly disappeared into the air.

Huo Yuhao was left standing there blankly, the words of the supreme god echoing in his mind.

And... that Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, still standing there in a daze.

"Brother Tianmeng..." Huo Yuhao murmured to himself, "Was I...was I dreaming just now?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly jumped up and slapped him on the forehead.

"What a load of crap!"

"Kid, you're rich! You're fucking rich!"

"Oh my god! It's the boss! He's actually giving you special treatment! Do you know what that means?"

"This means... from today onwards, you, Huo Yuhao, are the most influential person in this world!" (End of Chapter)
