Douluo Continent: I teach and nurture students at Tianshui Academy!

Gu Shenge was unsurprised by the system's notification; he had already figured out the pattern of how the system issued tasks.

He cared more about the system's rewards than the tasks themselves.

The higher the system reward, the higher the difficulty of the task. Gu Shenge used this to judge the feasibility of his idea.

He opened the task interface, skipped the task name and content, and went straight to the task reward.

[Task Reward: One Mystic-level lottery draw.]

The difficulty of closing the Abyss Rift is about the same as killing a Demon Soul Cult Venerable because it's a Xuan-level lottery draw.

This was a piece of cake for Gu Shenge.

Since it wasn't too difficult, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was worried that the reward would be too high and beyond his ability to handle.

Gu Shenge closed the mission interface and looked at the abyss rift again.

To avoid being corrupted by the laws of the abyss again, Gu Shenge mobilized the laws of the Bright Realm to form a layer of protective laws to resist the laws of the abyss.

He cautiously approached the abyss rift, his golden eyes filled with solemnity. Through the thin barrier of laws that enveloped the abyss rift, he could vaguely see countless abyssal creatures surging like a vast ocean.

Once the abyss rift expands, countless abyssal creatures will surge out, which will be a devastating blow not only to the Douluo Continent but also to Star Dou City and the surrounding cities.

As always, as soon as Gu Shenge approached the abyss rift, the laws of the abyss couldn't wait to erode and assimilate him.

Fortunately, due to the restraint of the Douluo Laws, the power that the Abyss Laws could separate was extremely small and was blocked by the Bright Realm Laws, thus preventing them from interfering with Gu Shenge.

Gu Shenge approached the abyss rift step by step. With each step forward, the erosion of the abyss's laws grew stronger. In the end, the barrier of the Bright Realm's laws around him could no longer withstand it.

Burning the origin of the dimension!

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Shenge decisively burned the source accumulated in the Bright Realm plane to strengthen the laws of the Bright Realm!

The tens of thousands of points of essence that had been painstakingly accumulated were burned away.

A pure white light burst forth, dazzling and brilliant. The laws of the Bright Realm instantly surged to their peak, shattering the strange purple fluid that was entangled around Gu Shenge's body and suppressing the Abyss Laws that were invading him!

This sudden influx of third-party law caught the laws of the abyss off guard.

Meanwhile, the Douluo Laws were not idle either, pressing their advantage and gradually eroding the power of the laws emanating from the abyss rift.

Gu Shenge plays a supporting role, using the Law of the Bright Realm to assist the Law of Douluo in suppressing the Law of the Abyss.

With the combined efforts of a large plane and a small plane burning with primordial energy, the laws of the abyss were forced to retreat in defeat.

Although the laws of the abyss are more powerful than the laws of Douluo, they are ultimately not the entire abyss plane, but only the laws of one layer of the abyss.

Moreover, this is the Douluo Continent, where the Douluo Laws have a home-field advantage.

Under Gu Shenge's watchful gaze, the abyss rift gradually began to close, which relieved him.

More than an hour later, the abyss rift finally closed, and Gu Shenge's Bright Realm was completely depleted of its source, with all the source she had painstakingly accumulated being destroyed.

Ignoring the system's notification sound indicating task completion in his mind, Gu Shenge withdrew the Bright Realm Laws back into his body. He looked at the restored surface of the space, his gaze falling on the surrounding blood sacrifice runes. With a wave of his hand, he burned them to ashes with a ball of solar fire.

Meanwhile, on a mountain peak dozens of miles away, the Demon Soul Cult Leader watched the entire process of Gu Shenge closing the abyss rift, remaining silent as his figure gradually dissipated.

Everything is proceeding according to His plan.

Chapters 141-140: Bibi Dong's Dirty Thinking

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

The news that the abyssal creatures had been wiped out and the abyssal rift had closed had not yet reached Bibi Dong and the other bishops.

"Your Holiness, Elder Haoyang has arrived!"

A Templar Knight ran into the Papal Palace, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported.

Upon hearing that Gu Shenge had arrived, the beautiful, mature female pope on the throne instantly brightened up and ordered the Templar Knights to invite Elder Haoyang inside.

When the bishops of the Spirit Hall heard that Elder Haoyang had arrived, they all showed surprise. Wasn't he at Tianshui Academy? Why did he suddenly come back?

A short while later, Gu Shenge, wearing the Nine Crows Sun-Demonic Windbreaker, entered the Papal Palace.

"Greetings, Elder Haoyang!"

The bishops bowed to Gu Shenge, who nodded slightly and then bowed slightly to Bibi Dong in a low voice.

"Your Holiness, I have already wiped out the abyssal creatures of Star City."

"Huh? What abyssal creature?"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's beautiful face showed a hint of confusion. When did she send Gu Shenge to Star Dou City to deal with some abyssal creatures?

Wait, could it be that the abyssal creatures he mentioned refer to the unknown creatures that the bishop reported earlier?

Could it be that he came earlier, overheard her conversation with the bishops, and volunteered to help her deal with those unknown—no, abyssal creatures—as if to win her favor?

Bibi Dong's thoughts gradually wandered, and she looked at Gu Shengge with love in her beautiful eyes.

Gu Shenge noticed the beautiful mature female pope's confusion, and a look of doubt flashed in her eyes. "Didn't you go to Tianshui Academy to find me and ask me to investigate and deal with those abyssal creatures?"

"Elder Haoyang, are the abyssal creatures you mentioned the unknown creatures that appeared in Star Dou City?"

A bishop stepped forward, bowed, and inquired about information regarding the abyssal creatures. Gu Shenge nodded and explained to them what the abyssal creatures were.

"The unknown creatures you speak of are called Abyssal Creatures. I have read about them and their origins in an ancient book. They are creatures that do not belong to Douluo Continent, but come from another dimension."

Gu Shenge then explained the origins of the Abyss Plane to Bibi Dong and the group of cardinals.

After hearing his story, the stunningly beautiful Pope, Chrysanthemum, Ghost Douluo, and all the cardinals were stunned.

"One hundred and eight Abyss Emperors who are equivalent to Title Douluos or even Limit Douluos, and there are also Abyss Saint Lords who are equivalent to Level One Gods, this!"

It should be noted that there are probably no more than twenty Title Douluos on the Douluo Continent, and only Qian Daoliu is a Limit Douluo. Facing such a terrifying abyss, they have absolutely no chance of winning.

Moreover, areas eroded by the Abyss Plane are affected by the laws of the Abyss, making it impossible to use Martial Souls. Even a Title Douluo would have their strength reduced by at least 80%!

"The creatures of the abyss are powerful and fearless. Their characteristics are destruction and devouring. They can devour all life forms and energy. If those abyssal monsters appear on a large scale, it will be a devastating blow to the Douluo Continent."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was filled with dread. She knew that there were only a dozen or so abyssal creatures that had appeared in Star Dou City, yet they had still swept through the soldiers of the two great empires. If the abyss launched a large-scale attack, Douluo Continent would definitely be destroyed.

"The creatures of the abyss are too powerful. Soul Masters cannot use their Martial Souls and are as vulnerable as infants in front of those monsters."

"Why don't we ask the High Priest to take action and see if he can annihilate those abyssal creatures?"

The bishops were discussing amongst themselves, but Gu Shenge interrupted them.

"The reason why the Abyss Rift appeared was because of the Demon Soul Cult. However, I did not find any trace of the Demon Soul Cult when I went there. Now that I have closed the Abyss Plane, there is no need to worry too much, but we still need to keep a close watch on it."

Gu Shenge spoke to Bibi Dong, and the other bishops said that although he had closed the abyss rift, it would be better to arrange for someone to guard that location just in case.

He then retrieved the corpse of the Abyss Succubus from his system space and threw it onto the main hall, attracting everyone's attention.

Looking at the corpse of the Abyss Succubus, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo both showed surprise. It really did resemble a human woman so much! Moreover, the strange and evil aura it exuded was completely different from that of a soul beast, which made them feel extremely disgusted.

"This is?"

Bibi Dong looked at the Abyss Succubus's body, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of surprise, and asked.

“A humanoid abyssal creature, I named it: Abyssal Succubus.”

"What abilities does a succubus possess?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at the Abyss Succubus with disgust. She was not beautiful at all. They didn't care about her name, only her abilities, so they could find a way to deal with her.

I had heard the Cardinal say before that even a Soul King might not be able to defeat this thing. Moreover, the place where this thing appears cannot be used with Martial Souls, which is a fatal problem.

Soul Masters who cannot use their Martial Soul are not much stronger than ordinary people.

Gu Shenge described the Abyss Succubus's abilities based on its memories.

"Possessing curse-like abilities that erode the body and devour the soul are very troublesome, like maggots clinging to bones, difficult to eliminate."

Upon hearing about curse-type abilities, Bibi Dong and the others' expressions changed slightly. They knew that curse-type abilities were difficult to defend against and were more troublesome than other abilities.

"Is there any way to deal with this?"

Gu Shenge nodded. He had overwhelmed the opponent with his superior strength. He didn't know about other methods, but they should be effective against cursed or holy martial souls.

When the topic of sacred martial souls came up, Gu Shenge seemed to understand something.

The Spirit Hall's inherited spirit is the Six-Winged Angel. If we use the Angel spirit to fight the Abyss, there might be unexpected results.

Thinking of this, Gu Shenge spoke up:

"Abyssal creatures are ultimately strange and evil. Some martial souls of the light and holy types should be able to cause damage, but there is a fatal problem: where the laws of the abyss appear, it is impossible to mobilize martial souls."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Bibi Dong, Ju, and Ghost Douluo all fell silent. The inability to use their martial souls was a fatal problem. Without their martial souls, a soul master's combat power was greatly weakened, making them no match for these abyssal creatures.

Fortunately, Gu Shenge has already closed the abyss rift. As long as that location is closely monitored and the abyss rift is not allowed to reopen, there is nothing to worry about.

Bibi Dong stared at the corpse of the Abyss Succubus for a moment, then instructed Ghost Douluo beside her, "Elder Ghost, I'll trouble you to go and invite the Grand Elder here."

As soon as the beautiful, mature female pope finished speaking, a golden light suddenly appeared, and Qian Daoliu appeared uninvited before everyone.

His gaze also fell on the corpse of the abyss succubus, his eyes solemn, and he murmured:

"I never imagined that after 20,000 years, the Abyss Plane would make a comeback in my generation."

Everyone present was surprised to hear the High Priest's murmur; the High Priest actually knew about the Abyss Plane!

(According to the plot, after the elite soul masters of the entire continent are defeated, the protagonist will travel back 20,000 years.)

Chapters 142-141: The Angel God and the Sun Emperor

"High Priest, are you familiar with the Abyss Plane?"

Hearing Qian Daoliu's murmur, Gu Shenge quickly stepped forward to ask him. The High Priest of the Angels glanced at him, then looked at Bibi Dong with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Qian Daoliu didn't hide anything, nodded, and his voice was low and tinged with emotion.

"Yes, according to the records of the Spirit Hall, the last time the Abyss Plane invaded Douluo Continent was 20,000 years ago. It was defeated by the Angel God and her partner and withdrew from Douluo Continent. I didn't expect that after 20,000 years, the Abyss Plane would make a comeback."
