Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

"I took it with me."

Chu Ci picked up the Yin-Yang Profound Origin Flower and brought this immortal herb to a prepared open space within the Realm of Farewell to the Moon.

Gu Yue began preparing for the soul-spirit ritual for Chu Ci and Yin Yang Xuan Yuan Hua.

Under Gu Yue's control, a golden magic array appeared at the feet of Chu Ci and Yin Yang Xuan Yuan Flower respectively.

After being told the whole story by the Qiluo Tulip, the Yin Yang Xuan Yuan Flower did not resist at all and successfully became Chu Ci's third soul spirit.

The moment the Yin-Yang Profound Origin Flower transformed into a spirit and merged with Chu Ci's soul power, a flash of red light appeared, and a strange phenomenon of life reviving and all things thriving suddenly appeared behind Chu Ci.

The Yin-Yang Mystic Flower has been advancing for 100,000 years.

Tang Hao, who had been sleeping deep within the plane, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the Realm of Resignation, a strong killing intent appearing in them.

"The power of creation! Someone in this plane can comprehend the power of creation. It could very well become a variable in the mistress's plan and must be eliminated."

Suddenly, a look of horror appeared in Tang Hao's eyes, "Huh? How did you..."

Strange phenomena appeared in the Realm of the Moon's Departure: a blood-red light appeared in the sky, the wind and clouds rolled, and terrifying blood-red lightning appeared in the sky.

The creatures within the Realm of Resignation looked up at the sky in terror, prostrated themselves on the ground, and dared not move an inch.

Di Tian appeared beside Chu Ci and Gu Yue, looking up at the blood-red lightning in the sky with fear in his eyes. Who had summoned this heavenly tribulation? It was even more terrifying than the tribulation he had brought down when he tried to become a god.

Subsequently, Di Tian keenly noticed that this heavenly tribulation had actually locked onto the aura of Chu Ci and the immortal herb beside him.

Seeing that the heavenly tribulation was about to descend, Di Tian didn't have time to ask how he had attracted such a great terror. Ignoring Gu Yue's resistance, he directly took her far away from the open space where Chu Ci was.

The blood-red heavenly tribulation roared and crashed down, and Chu Ci and the Yin-Yang Profound Origin Flower took the initiative to meet the lightning that dyed the sky blood-red.

But when Chu Ci came into contact with the crimson lightning, he realized that he had made a huge mistake.

Blood-red lightning slanted down, even though Chu Ci was wearing the Heavenly Candle Divine Armor and had swept away all his soul power, placing it on the Divine Balance Martial Soul.

But it's completely useless!

The Heavenly Candle Sword shattered, his armor exploded, and Chu Ci spat out a mouthful of blood as his skin was torn apart inch by inch, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.

The enormous flower of the Yin-Yang Profound Origin Flower was instantly cleaved, leaving only two or three charred petals.

The sight of the person and the flower under the crimson lightning was utterly bleak and unbearable to behold.

"Chu Ci!" Gu Yue cried out in anguish, tears streaming down her face. She struggled desperately to get to Chu Ci's side, but Di Tian held her firmly, preventing her from moving.

Chu Ci collapsed to the ground, clinging to her last breath, and took out a small, almost transparent knife to sever her connection with the Yin-Yang Profound Origin Flower.

But the next moment, a seven-colored lightning bolt, completely out of place with the blood-red color, suddenly shot out from the blood-red lightning and struck Chu Ci unexpectedly.

Chu Ci was struck by the lightning and convulsed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Ci groggily opened her eyes and found herself in a vast, white space.

Chu Ci was puzzled, but then realized that he had no wounds on his body.

"Is this where people go after they die? It's not what I imagined!" Chu Ci gave a bitter smile. He had imagined many ways to die, but he never thought he would be struck down by a heavenly tribulation.

"Hahaha, child, this is not a place for the dead."

A hearty laugh rang out, startling Chu Ci. He turned around and saw an old man standing behind him.

The old man who suddenly appeared was dressed in a gray robe, with white hair and a youthful face, exuding the air of a hermit sage.

Chu Ci suppressed his doubts and said respectfully, "This junior is Chu Ci. May I ask your honorable name and where this place is?"

The gray-robed old man chuckled and said, "I am the will of the Douluo plane. You can call me Elder Luo."

"As for this place, it is the origin of the Douluo plane."

"The will of the Douluo plane, but the plane's master is not..." Chu Ci murmured to himself.

The gray-robed elder gave Chu Ci a strange look, as if he had expected it, and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much, kid. You truly are the biggest variable in the Douluo Continent."

Seeing Chu Ci's increasingly puzzled expression, the gray-robed elder explained, "The will of a plane is the consciousness that arises at the birth of a plane; it is the very foundation of a plane. A usurper can seize my control over the plane and imprison me, but cannot annihilate me, because I live and die with the plane."

"Then why does Elder Luo refer to this junior as the biggest variable?" Chu Ci asked.

"Actually, I noticed you when you awakened the Scales of God, a martial soul that shouldn't exist in the Douluo Continent, but what truly confirmed for me that you were the biggest variable was the moment your soul weapon was born," Elder Luo said.

Chapter 249 With Elder Luo's help, another breakthrough

Elder Luo continued, "The moment you forged the Soul Weapon, the predetermined future of the Douluo Continent was once again shrouded in an unfathomable fog."

“At that time, I knew that you were a variable, someone I had been waiting for. So I used the little power I had left to make this world acknowledge the existence of the Soul Weapon, and to let the Heavenly Candle receive the favor of the plane.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci instantly understood that the identity of this mysterious Elder Luo's plane of will was almost certainly true.

"Thank you for your help, Elder Luo," Chu Ci said respectfully.

"I wonder why Senior Luo has brought me here?" Chu Ci pressed.

Old Luo snorted coldly, "Isn't it all to save your life, you audacious person who dared to dream of controlling the power of creation?"

"It can't be that bad," Chu Ci said, scratching his head awkwardly.

"It can't be that bad!" Old Luo was so angry that he glared and said sternly, "Do you know that the power of creation is the most fundamental and core power in the universe? Since the birth of the universe, only the Dragon God has been able to master this power."

"The level of the power of creation is so high that even the God Realm cannot withstand it, so how could the mere Douluo Plane withstand it?" Elder Luo said in a serious tone.

"Oh, so does that mean there's absolutely no chance for me to master the power of creation, and it's just pure wishful thinking?" Chu Ci said somewhat dejectedly.

However, Elder Luo did not deny it directly. Instead, he put away his serious expression, pinched his chin, and said with a playful look, "The Douluo plane may not be able to withstand it, but you may not be."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Chu Ci was completely bewildered, unable to keep up with Elder Luo's leaps of thought.

Elder Luo said meaningfully, "You were born outside the rules of the Douluo plane, so the Martial Soul of the Divine Balance, which should not exist in the Douluo plane, was born in you. And the power of creation can also be said to be outside the rules of the Douluo plane, so if I am not mistaken, you should have the foundation to withstand the power of creation."

Born outside the rules—this must refer to his identity as a transmigrator. Chu Ci fell into deep thought, silently pondering Elder Luo's words.

Suddenly, Chu Ci was startled, and his eyes lit up. Allowing someone outside the rules to bear power outside the rules—this matter was promising and not over yet.

So Chu Ci quickly bowed deeply and said earnestly, "Please teach me, Master Luo."

Old Luo smiled, stroked his white beard, and said calmly, "I can teach you, but in exchange, you have to promise me something."

"What is it? Please speak, Elder Luo!" Chu Ci said.

"If you become a god in the future, you must not interfere with the development of the Douluo plane." Elder Luo stared intently at Chu Ci and said, word by word.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci was both amused and exasperated. It seemed that the will of the Douluo plane was truly terrified by Tang San's arbitrary interference in the Douluo plane.

However, it's understandable, because this Douluo plane's will is really in a terrible state.

Not only did Tang San arbitrarily interfere with the management of the Douluo Continent by taking advantage of his status as a God King, but he was also imprisoned by Tang San in the end. His status as the master of the plane was stripped and handed over to Tang San's father, Tang Hao.

It's likely that Luo Lao now harbors intense hatred for Tang San, wishing he could grind Tang San to dust immediately.

However, lacking the necessary strength, they decided to join forces with the variable of Chu Ci (Songs of Chu) to reclaim their rightful place.

However, fearing that if Chu Ci succeeded, he would become a god and follow the example of Tang Shenwang, continuing his style, Chu Ci was made to swear never to interfere in the Douluo plane, in order to prevent future troubles.

Chu Ci cleared his throat and solemnly swore, "If I become a god in the future, I will never interfere with the development of the Douluo plane. If I break this vow, my cultivation will not advance an inch in this life."

For Chu Ci, if he could become a god, he would definitely prefer to take those around him and fly far away to explore higher levels. He wouldn't care how the Douluo plane would develop afterward.

Old Luo nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Haha, very good, child."

Chu Ci immediately asked impatiently, "Senior Luo, how do I gain control of the power of creation?"

Old Luo waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Child, don't be in a hurry. Let me explain it to you first."

"My method, the help I can provide, cannot give you 100% control over the power of creation, but can only increase your original probability of success from zero to 70%."

"Although the probability of success is high, there is still a 30% chance of failure. And if you fail, even if I can save your life, your body will suffer irreversible damage."

"So, I give you two choices."

Elder Luo held up two fingers and explained in detail, “First, I will give up the power of creation. I will sever the path of creation that Yin Yang Xuan Yuan Flower has embarked on, allowing it to become a 100,000-year-old soul beast in its original form. I will also bestow upon it the favor of the plane, making it the most outstanding immortal herb. After you absorb it as your soul spirit, you will also benefit immensely.”

"The second natural thing is to make a final sprint to master the power of creation. If you succeed, you will surely become a god in the future, but doing so is quite dangerous. You should think carefully about the consequences."

After Luo finished speaking, he quietly waited for Chu Ci to make the final decision.

But less than two seconds later, Chu Ci firmly said, "I choose the second option."

"Have you thought it through?" Old Luo asked casually.

"I've thought it through!" Chu Ci nodded emphatically.

"Alright, I'll use my old bones to help you out today." Old Luo flicked his sleeve and tapped Chu Ci's forehead, plunging Chu Ci into darkness.

The next second, Chu Ci's vision returned. At that moment, a bolt of seven-colored lightning struck him, but he felt no pain. In fact, the wounds on his body healed rapidly under the effect of the lightning.

Chu Ci looked at the surging crimson lightning in the sky, and then at the heartbroken Gu Yue in the distance. He realized that he had not met Luo Lao in his true form, but that his soul had been dragged to the source of the Douluo plane by Luo Lao.

So, although it seemed like I had talked with Mr. Luo for a long time, in reality it was only a fleeting moment.

At this moment, Elder Luo began to exert his power, and the blood-red heavenly tribulation in the sky gradually disappeared, replaced by seven-colored lightning.

Deep within the plane, countless strange white mists surged from all directions, surrounding Tang Hao and hindering his movements.

In response, Tang Hao could only roar helplessly, "You old bastard who's barely clinging to life, aren't you afraid that your mistress will come back and destroy you completely?!"

“Heh,” came Luo Lao’s disdainful voice from the void, “Why be afraid of him? If he could kill me, he would have annihilated me long ago, but the fact is he has no way to deal with me.”

After saying that, Elder Luo continued to activate the backup plan he had left in the Douluo Continent.

Luo Lao has existed since the formation of the Douluo plane. How could he not have left behind some contingency plans for such a long period of time?

Chapter 250 The Birth of a New Martial Soul, the Flower of Creation

Even if Tang San were to imprison Luo Lao and strip him of his powers, he still wouldn't be able to completely eliminate all of Luo Lao's hidden plans.

All he could do in his haste was to tell Tang Hao to be careful, and then the God Realm was swept away by the spacetime turbulence and lost contact.

Tang Hao's face was extremely ugly at this moment. Elder Luo summoned white mist from the origin of the plane. Although it could not cause him any harm, it temporarily restricted his control over the plane.

Tang Hao conjured a seven-colored giant hammer in his hand, and after several strikes, the white mist was dispersed, but countless more white mists surged up.

At this moment, Tang Hao was extremely anxious, fearing that some unforeseen circumstances might affect Tang San's plans. However, Elder Luo's methods were quite strange, and for a time, he was held back.

Chu Ci, inside the Realm of Farewell to the Moon, swayed as she stood up, and heard Elder Luo's voice in her ear.

"Do as I tell you, and be quick. I don't have much power left, and I can't hold off the current ruler of the plane for long."
