Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

"remember."

Lu Jun's tone carried a final, admonishing tone, leaving no room for error.

"Once we get out, the first thing I do is hand this ball of light over to my current self and let him absorb the energy within."

"This power is estimated to help him break through to the level of Title Douluo."

"But that's not the key point. What's important is that the imprint of my origin contained within can confuse and mitigate the suppressive force of the laws of the universe on my current state of growth to the greatest extent possible."

He pondered for a moment, calculating:

"However, the effect of this suppression has its limits."

"At most, I can only raise the suppression limit to my maximum Douluo cultivation level, which is equivalent to a quasi-god."

"In other words, even if I cultivate to the Limit Douluo level, I will still be subject to the strong suppression of the laws of the universe and will not be able to easily use power beyond the limits."

“Gu Yuena, listen.” Lu Jun’s voice suddenly became more solemn, as if he wanted to imprint every word into the depths of her soul. “The following information is crucial and will determine the final success or failure.”

Gu Yuena immediately held her breath, put aside all distractions, and listened attentively.

"At that time, when all the conflicts and worldly affairs concerning Douluo Continent have settled down, when you need to face the God Realm that Tang San controls..."

He paused to make sure Gu Yuena fully understood.

"You must personally tell me—deep within the core of Tang San's God Realm, in the place where the former Golden Dragon King is sealed, lies the very source of all the power I left behind!"

"As long as this message is accurately conveyed, allowing me to go to that place and reclaim my own power, I can break all shackles and return to the supreme god-king realm of my heyday!"

His gaze, like the sharpest blade, stared directly into Gu Yuena's soul:

"Did you remember that? Not a single word can be wrong!"

This information is massive and astonishing, involving the ultimate future strategy.

Gu Yuena sensed the weight of the message and dared not be negligent in the slightest. She nodded vigorously, her amethyst eyes filled with determination.

"I remember it clearly! Every word is engraved in my heart."

"very good."

Finally, a relieved, warm smile appeared on Lu Jun's face, filled with relief and trust.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his figure already so ethereal as to be almost transparent, yet he still exuded an air of dominance over the world, preparing to use his last strength to send Gu Yuena away from this collapsing illusion of inheritance.

"and many more!"

In the moment before leaving, Gu Yuena couldn't help but ask the last question that had been lingering in her mind:

"I'd really like to know, what if... what if something goes wrong at any point in the process, like I fail, or the information isn't delivered in time, or some other unexpected event occurs... what should I do?"

She imagined all sorts of possible failures in the future, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

However, faced with this worry that would determine the ultimate success or failure, Lu Jun, whose anxiety was about to dissipate, revealed a mysterious smile on his face that was both enigmatic and full of absolute confidence.

His figure vanished into the dissipating light, leaving behind a final, clear sentence that echoed in Gu Yuena's ears and heart:
"I believe in myself."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yuena felt the space around her twist and change, and the scene in front of her was peeled away inch by inch like a shattered mirror.

The next moment, the gaze refocused, and the eternal illusionary aura had vanished, replaced by the familiar, primitive landscape deep within Dragon Valley, imbued with the scent of earth and dragons.

She returned. Back in the familiar yet somewhat desolate land of Dragon Valley, Gu Yuena subconsciously opened her palm. The bead she had been holding, made of pure energy, had lost all its luster because its internal power had completely dissipated. It shattered and decomposed silently in her palm, eventually turning into a wisp of dust that drifted away with the wind without a trace.

Gu Yuena felt a sudden tightness in her chest, as if some important connection had been severed.

She quickly reached into her robes, her movements tinged with a barely perceptible panic. Only when her fingertips touched the chaotic orb of light, still radiating a warm glow and containing vast energy, did her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly settle back down.

Not a dream...

It really isn't a dream...

Those more than 20 million failures and successes, the endless torment and the final breakthrough, and... that guy's last words and entrustment, all of them really happened.

She pressed the ball of light, which carried hope and responsibility, tightly against her chest, closed her eyes, and gently pressed her smooth forehead against the cool surface of the ball, deeply feeling the unique aura and immense power of Lu Jun flowing within it.

That warm and firm touch silently soothed her slightly weary and dazed soul after so many years.

Still here...

The strength and instructions he left behind still remain...

Just then, sensing the fluctuations in Gu Yuena's aura, the nine dragon souls of the Dragon Kings, as if summoned, drifted from all corners of Dragon Valley and surrounded her. The leading Light Dragon King's soul flickered slightly and spoke with a respectful and inquiring tone:

"Lord..."

Gu Yuena was startled from her reverie and quickly and carefully put away the ball of light in her arms, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

She raised her eyes, her gaze regaining its usual coldness and majesty, and swept over the nine former pillars of the dragon clan before her.

How long did it take me?

She asked directly, her voice calm, yet carrying a hint of probing that she herself was unaware of.

The dragon kings exchanged glances, and finally, the Dark Dragon King pondered for a moment before answering:
"My Lord, from the time you received the inheritance until now, it has been about... a minute or so, very quickly."

Gu Yuena: "..."

One minute?
In the outside world, only a minute passed, but in the illusion constructed by Lu Jun with his supreme power, she felt as if she had traversed countless eras and experienced the vicissitudes of life.

She attempted bloodline fusion 27,523,251 times!

The mental and physical exertion, the pain endured, and the willpower honed during that process are beyond the measure of ordinary time.

It was so long that she almost became numb to the concept of time itself.

In reality, only one minute had passed!

Lu Jun... just what level of power is this?

Distorting time, solidifying space, and creating eternity in a fleeting moment...

Such methods have already exceeded the limits of her previous understanding of power.

"My lord, regarding the issue of the successor..."

Among them, the gentler-natured Water Dragon King couldn't help but ask a question, breaking the brief silence.

"The heir?" Gu Yuena turned her gaze to the Water Dragon King, a scrutinizing glint in her purple eyes. "Am I not suitable?" (End of Chapter)
