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

"Is this...truly true?"

The voice of Dong Zi'an, the commander of the Western Legion, was almost hoarse with urgency. His eyes were wide open and his chest rose and fell slightly.

He came from a commoner family and, with extraordinary perseverance and good fortune, climbed step by step from the bottom to the position of legion commander. Most of the soldiers under his command were like him, who relied on hard work or even had no outstanding innate conditions.

He knew all too well what the baseline of innate first-level soul power meant for those ambitious young people who were struggling with a lack of talent.

That will be the cornerstone for a qualitative change in the overall quality of the military!

It is the source of the explosive power of the next few decades!
Di Yue straightened her slightly thin back, facing the countless scorching, shocked, and doubtful gazes below. Her crimson eyes shone brightly with golden light, and the vast majesty of a plane's ruler was no longer concealed. Like a silent tide, it spread out again, instantly calming all the noise and restlessness.

"I swear in the name of the Lord of the Douluo Star Plane." Her voice was not loud, but it carried a certain certainty at the level of rules, as if she were stating an established fact. "This is the result of the natural evolution of the original laws after the plane's evolution, and it is by no means a false statement."

She raised her hand and traced a line in the air once more.

The holographic projection of Douluo Star did not disappear. At this moment, countless fine, spiderweb-like veins with gentle golden light appeared on the projection surface. They penetrated into the earth, connected mountains and rivers, and covered the ocean.

"Evolution complete, the plane's origin has merged with the entire planet at a deeper level."

Di Yue lightly tapped her fingertip, and the golden veins glowed faintly.

"The power of origin will subtly nourish all things, especially affecting the gestation of new life."

Her explanation was clear and specific:
"From now on, the fetus in the mother's womb will be nourished by the omnipresent primordial energy. When the martial soul awakens, soul power will be generated automatically, with a minimum level of one."

"And those children who have been born but have not yet awakened their martial souls can also reach this standard when they awaken, as long as they drink water containing the essence of the source for a long time, or live in an area with relatively rich spiritual energy for a period of time."

"What about those who have awakened their martial souls but whose innate soul power is less than level one, or even level zero?"

Another member of parliament asked in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with hope.

Di Yue looked at him, her crimson eyes shimmering with golden light, carrying a sense of compassion and grandeur.

“They are also under the illumination of the laws.” She said slowly, “The transformation of the plane’s origin is continuous and gentle. It cannot reverse time, change their awakened martial soul forms and innate qualities, but it can slowly make up for the deficiencies in their life origin.”

"Their physical condition will gradually improve, and their efficiency in sensing and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during cultivation will increase. Previously solid bottlenecks may become loose. Given time and perseverance..."

She paused, then gave a conclusion that made everyone's hearts race:
"Even those born with zero soul power have a considerable chance of cultivating to the Soul Emperor or even the Soul Saint realm."

A deeper, almost frozen silence fell over the council chamber.

Everyone is digesting this overwhelming flood of information that far exceeds expectations.

From the possibility that everyone can cultivate, to the realistic path that even the seemingly useless can have a future...

This is not merely a simple addition of military strength; it is a complete social revolution and a leap in the level of civilization.

It broke down the barriers of bloodline and talent inheritance, opening the door to becoming a Soul Master for the lowest class of people.

Lu Jun leaned back in his high-backed chair, his posture still relaxed. His eyes calmly swept over the faces below, which were initially stunned by the shock, but were then filled with complex emotions such as ecstasy, excitement, and disbelief.

The faint smile on his lips never faded.

This was one of the core outcomes he anticipated when he pushed forward the evolution of the plane and worked with Di Yue to guide the laws. Faced with a terrifying enemy like the Abyss Plane, which feeds on worlds and possesses an almost inexhaustible source of soldiers, relying solely on the existing top experts and the traditional Soul Master system was far from sufficient.

It's like trying to use a few sharp spears to resist a black ocean that corrodes everything.

Only by transforming Douluo Star itself into a war fortress with terrifying blood-generating capabilities, capable of continuously producing warriors, and mobilizing the power of the vast majority of the people to form a true ocean of people's war, can we secure a glimmer of hope in the inevitable and brutal interdimensional war of the future.

Lu Jun was already mentally prepared for a protracted war of attrition.

He remembered Xu Tiandi's prophecy that the final assault of the Abyss would most likely occur when he was around twenty years old.

He is about to turn seventeen, which means that the Douluo Continent only has three years to prepare.

How much can change in three years?

What he needs to do is to squeeze out the efficiency of three hundred years from these three years!
"This...this is simply a groundbreaking and monumental feat, a reshaping of the universe."

Emperor Xu's voice finally rang out again, with a slight tremor that was hard to conceal, but his golden eyes were now burning with an unprecedented, almost blazing light.

It wasn't a desire for power, but rather the extreme exhilaration of seeing the flame of civilization continue and Douluo Star possess the resources to contend with the Abyss.

He suddenly stood up, faced Di Yue and Lu Jun, and without any hesitation, bowed deeply, performing an extremely solemn bow.

"The grace and plans of the plane's master, this act of rebirth, will be forever remembered by the Sun Moon Federation and all living beings of Douluo!"

"Wow—"

Below, all the councilors and generals, regardless of their previous stance, stood up solemnly and bowed deeply to the two people on the stage in unison.

Everyone's face was filled with heartfelt respect and gratitude.

They understood that what Di Yue announced was not just a benefit or policy, but a most precious gift to all living beings on the entire Douluo Star before the impending cataclysmic crisis.

A hope, and the way to turn that hope into power.

Di Yue was caught off guard by this sudden and grand ceremony. She subconsciously moved closer to Lu Jun, a hint of unease and embarrassment flashing in her crimson eyes.

She waved her hand, trying to deflect the credit:

"No, no... This was mainly driven and guided by Lu Jun. Without him, the evolution wouldn't have gone so smoothly, and the laws wouldn't have been adjusted like this..."

Lu Jun gently raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder, indicating that she did not need to say anything more.

He stood up as well, his gaze calmly sweeping over the bowing crowd below.

"No thanks needed."

His clear voice instantly calmed the overly intense emotional atmosphere in the room.

"This is not a gift, but an instinctive choice for self-preservation and evolution when Douluo Star faces a survival crisis."

"We are merely going with the flow and providing slight guidance." (End of Chapter)
