Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 246 True God Shu Yan, Plane Master and Departure

Nearly three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Shu Yan's consciousness shifted between sleep and wakefulness, a strange energy flowing through his body, and a silvery-white halo constantly rippled outwards.

He seemed to have forgotten the passage of time, completely immersed in this dreamlike state of mind. Everything transformed into nothingness, and everything in the world seemed to be able to be transformed into whatever he wanted in his hands. It was an indescribable power, and also a kind of recognition of identity and responsibility, which was gradually engraved on him as time went by.

In a daze, Shu Yan's consciousness seemed to penetrate the barrier between dimensions and arrive in a region he had never sensed before.

Countless stars were displayed before him like chess pieces. Shu Yan turned around and looked at the strange yet familiar planet behind him, feeling a strange sense of awe.

Beyond the plane lies a vast and boundless sea of ​​stars, containing endless mysteries. Faced with such a vast starry sky, Shu Yan felt incredibly small, but what followed was an immense desire to conquer.

Human desires are endless. When you stand in a new position, you will appreciate a brand new, higher and more wonderful view, and then you will find that everything you had asked for before was nothing more than this.

"Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world..."

Shu Yan murmured to himself, reaching out to grasp at the starry sky, but he grasped nothing.

The next moment, his consciousness snapped back, and Shu Yan opened his eyes. A faint golden light emanated from them. In that instant, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky. Bathed in the golden light, Shu Yan's consciousness became clear and relaxed. He opened his arms, and a crisp sound rang out from within his body. Then, the entire world was enveloped in an intensely rich golden light, and Shu Yan's figure completely disappeared into it...

……

outside world.

On a peaceful afternoon, dark clouds shrouded Xingluo City. It was the rainy season again, and a light drizzle fell from the sky, pattering down on various parts of Xingluo City.

The gentle breeze carried a hint of coolness, stirring the heartstrings but failing to soothe the sorrow.

The rain continued incessantly, and there were few pedestrians in Xingluo City. The carriages that passed by splashed a lot of water, which only added to the desolate feeling.

It was an ordinary day, seemingly no different from any other. But just when everyone thought the day would pass by like this, a dazzling golden pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky in the center of Xingluo City.

The golden beam of light rippled outwards in the sky, and soon the dark clouds that had been hanging over Xingluo City dissipated, and the sun shone on the earth once more.

The various flowers and plants in the city swayed gently after being exposed to the sunlight, and a rich sense of life spread throughout Xingluo City. The fragrance of flowers and plants and rainwater became more pronounced, and even those flowers and plants that had long passed their blooming season bloomed again.

In an instant, Xingluo City burst into bloom, vying for attention with its vibrant colors, and an endless vitality reappeared in the city.

Everyone was shocked by what had suddenly happened. They rushed out of their rooms and gathered on the street, looking around at the changes with curiosity and surprise.

After inhaling that pure life force, their worries seemed to gradually ease.

In an instant, countless cheers and laughter filled Xingluo City. The long-accumulated gloom vanished, giving people a sense of relief and joy.

……

Xingluo Imperial Palace, Princess's Residence.

The commotion startled everyone. After gathering together, they flew into the air and looked at the golden pillar of light with surprise in their eyes.

"Did Ayan finally succeed?"

He suppressed his excitement and joy for a long time, his voice slightly hoarse.

"It must have been a success."

Su Tong followed up with her words.

She was Shu Yan's older sister, born of the same mother. There was always a special connection between siblings. Just now, her bloodline and even her soul burst forth with an indescribable joy. Her gaze was unwavering, and she always had an absolute trust in Shu Yan.

The powerful figures stationed inside the palace were also alarmed. A group of more than a dozen people, led by Xu Jiawei, and even Qian Gu Chaosheng, who had been stationed in the palace recently, made a rare appearance. They stared in shock at the golden pillar of light that seemed to connect heaven and earth. Their eyes were filled with awe, and their expressions were excited and joyful, as if they were witnessing a glorious era belonging to Xingluo.

More and more eyes turned to the golden pillar of light. In the next instant, the entire world seemed to freeze for a moment. After everyone reacted, they saw that the original golden pillar of light was still there, but there was a young man in white robes in the golden pillar of light.

The young man looked to be in his early twenties, with white hair and a white robe, but a few strands of hair on his forehead were a strange purplish-gold color.

The young man was handsome, exuding an aura that was both imposing and gentle. His eyes, shimmering with a faint golden light, held an immeasurable, icy majesty at a glance—a pure sense of superiority. Even a Limit Douluo would instinctively feel inferior upon meeting those eyes. It was a complete crushing on a life level, like the most ordinary ant facing the supreme ant queen, utterly unable to muster any sense of disrespect or fear.

The young man's gaze swept over Xingluo City, then turned to look into the distance.

The sky was a deep blue, with only a few white clouds hanging leisurely above. Someone shouted that a god had descended to earth, and then cheers like a tsunami erupted throughout Xingluo City. Some even knelt down and worshipped, their eyes filled with fervor, their expressions awe and longing.

Shu Yan sensed the mysteries of this world, but the next moment, as the first ray of golden light entered his body, Shu Yan looked up and saw countless golden rays of light flying rapidly toward him. These energies were almost invisible and intangible, and no matter what means outsiders used to observe them, they could not detect them at all. However, they were real. In fact, after being injected into Shu Yan's body, he found that his strength had advanced by an extremely small amount.

This is the power of faith, originating from the most unique and powerful energy within living beings themselves.

Shu Yan chuckled softly, and then with a flick of his wrist, all the elemental energy in the surrounding world began to surge violently, transforming into a vast ocean suspended in the sky.

Everyone watched this scene in shock, but the next moment, the crisp sound of waves rang in their ears, and streams of pure spiritual energy poured into everyone's bodies. Many quick-witted people were excited and immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot, doing their best to absorb the pure and vast spiritual energy.

Xu Jiawei waved his hand, and many royal experts immediately found the area closest to the ocean formed by the convergence of heaven and earth's primordial energy and sat down cross-legged. Many of them were also excited. They might not encounter such an opportunity once in their lives. The path that had been blocked was gradually brightening under the endless flow of heaven and earth's primordial energy. No one dared to underestimate it. Even Qian Gu Chaosheng sat cross-legged in the void and began to sense and absorb it with his heart.

He was only one step away from becoming a Limit Douluo. A Super Douluo is ultimately just a Super Douluo. Even if he could match a Limit Douluo in terms of combat power, he would still be fundamentally inferior.

Shu Yan glanced at him, then pointed with another finger.

Suddenly, a gap opened in the sea of ​​Yuan Power, and countless Yuan Power from heaven and earth surged into Qian Gu Chao Sheng's body, giving his nearly withered body a renewed vitality. Even the rudimentary form of his second soul core gradually took shape under the influence of the Yuan Power, and then became more and more solid.

There was no way around it; having messed with someone's granddaughter, Shu Yan still had to do something to show his gratitude. Besides, this gesture was just a small thing for him now, but it was a life-saving favor for the other person.

After a moment's thought, Shu Yan glanced at the elders of his family and the powerful acquaintances he knew well. He chuckled, and dozens more streams of spiritual energy surged forth. Those people were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. They immediately sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate diligently to break through to the next level.

The golden beam of light slowly dimmed and then gradually disappeared.

Shu Yan's figure slowly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was in front of the women.

"Ayan..."

The women spoke in unison, their movements synchronized as if they had undergone training.

Shu Yan nodded, his gaze and expression gradually softening.

The group sat in a small pavilion in the garden. Because they often gathered here before, everything was very well-furnished and could accommodate everyone.

"Ayan, you succeeded?"

As soon as he sat down, he asked impatiently.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Shu Yan simply sat quietly, then chuckled softly:

"I guess I've succeeded. I now possess divine power, divine sense, and a divine body. However, the connection between the God Realm and the Douluo Plane has been completely severed. Without the God Realm, I am a god, but not quite a god."

Everyone looked at each other, then Ling Luochen said carefully:

"Then... Ayan, with your current strength, how would you fare against that Abyss Saint King?"

Ling Luochen's question touched on the point that everyone was eager to know. They didn't want Shu Yan to risk his life, but at the same time, they also hoped that Shu Yan had such strength and confidence. If they lost the support of the plane, where would they go?

Shu Yan simply chuckled, then said softly:

"So what if there's no God Realm? Killing him is easy for me. The Douluo Plane won't be swallowed up. I came back this time for two reasons: first, to put your minds at ease, and second..."

"I'm going to deal with the troubles in the Abyss Plane. I might not be back for a while, but don't worry, I just need to do something that has to be done. During this time, my divine sense can still return to the Douluo Plane to resolve some problems."

"In addition, while I am away, you must cultivate diligently. I have left marks on you to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which will increase your cultivation speed by more than three times. When I return, I think you will have already become Title Douluo or even Super Douluo."

The women were all moved, but just as they were about to say something, Shu Yan made a shushing gesture.

"Don't overthink it. After killing the Abyss Saint King and those Abyss Kings, the Abyss Plane will collapse. I need to guide the core of the plane to absorb the origin and energy from the Abyss Plane."

"At the same time, I will also integrate the worlds surrounding the Douluo plane. After that, the plane will undergo obvious changes every day. You can carefully sense them, which will be of great help to your future breakthrough to godhood."

"In the future, you will be the first strong people to wield supreme power in the new era of the mainland. After the mainland is unified, the plane will enter a state of rapid development."

"However, it is important to note that development requires a huge amount of resources, and rapid development requires even more. You need to pay attention to these things and regulate and balance them to prevent the plane's resources from being excessively depleted and thus weakening the plane."

"Wait for me to come back. Then we'll truly have some free time, endless time to enjoy life and travel, raise our children, witness the changing times and history, and see this world gradually prosper and grow..."

Shu Yan's voice grew gentler, and then he slowly stood up. The women sensed his presence and one by one came forward to hug him.

All the women were exceptionally talented, and even the youngest, Meng Ning, rarely shed tears. But at this moment, even the coldest-tempered Su Tong, Ling Luochen, and Qian Gu Yueyin shed tears.

Shu Yan was also somewhat helpless. Humans are ultimately emotional beings. Even the coldest and most ruthless beauty will inevitably change after experiencing love.

"Don't cry, you all look like little kittens, this isn't the kind of you I know."

"Remember my words. Moreover, my divine sense can return to the mainland. Although it is not a physical body, there won't be much difference."

Shu Yan said with a mix of helplessness and amusement.

The women all glared at him, but their eyes were still filled with reluctance and longing.

Shu Yan smiled at everyone one last time before stepping into the spatial passage.

What he said was true, but the original consciousness of the plane took form and left the Douluo plane to explore the universe. He absorbed the plane embryo and became the new plane master. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he really did not expect that the original consciousness of the plane had such intentions. In the end, it even left him with a lot of mess to deal with.

After that, Shu Yan went to see his parents, then met with Xu Jiawei and Qian Gu Chaosheng, and then went to see Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo.

Before leaving, Han Ruoruo took the initiative to hug Shu Yan. Shu Yan gently patted her back, kissed her cheek, and then vanished like a breeze, leaving Han Ruoruo, her cheeks flushed and her heart filled with embarrassment and anger, facing Zhang Lexuan's doting smile...

Finally, Shu Yan went to the Star Dou Great Forest, chatted briefly with the Silver Dragon King, and then arrived at the space passage in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Di Tian stood in mid-air not far behind, staring intently at Shu Yan's back, his expression a mixture of emotion and reflection. Finally, he uttered only one sentence:

"Have a safe journey and come back soon."

Shu Yan smiled and nodded, then waved to Di Tian, ​​stepped inside, and disappeared into the deep and mysterious spatial passage...
