Douluo's Holy Lord at the Start

Chapter 269 The Thin Thread Connecting Parallel Worlds

Dugu Mansion in Tiandou City.

Although Dugu Bo had not yet become a retainer of the Heaven Dou Empire at this time, he was either busy running around for Dugu Xin or on his way to do so.

However, Dugu Bo appeared abruptly today and did not continue his travels. Instead, he sat next to an old-fashioned wooden bed, staring blankly at the middle-aged man lying on the bed.

The man lying on the bed—calling him a man is an understatement.

His entire body was like a skeleton, even more like a skull than an ancient banyan tree.

It's hopeless. Dugu Xin's life is nearing its end, yet Si still hasn't made any progress towards He.

All they could do was watch from here as Dugu Xin's life force grew weaker and weaker.

Resentment, regret, and all sorts of thoughts kept surfacing in his mind, but in the end, they could only turn into a long sigh to express his despair.

However, without his knowledge, the space behind him rippled slightly, and a figure stepped out from it.

Looking at the barely breathing Dugu Xin, Gu Xuan considered countless ways to save him.

However, in the end, they only chose the simplest method.

With a raised hand, Gu Xuan directly channeled a stream of soul power containing the divine power of the Horse Talisman into Dugu Xin's body.

Under the glow, Dugu Xin's aura began to rise rapidly.

"who!?"

However, Dugu Bo did not immediately feel happy upon seeing this scene. Instead, he quickly stood up warily.

However, he felt a blur before his eyes, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of him.

"Don't move. If you want him to live, don't bother me."

Gu Xuan pressed Dugu Bo back into his chair with one hand, his voice as indifferent as if he were talking to an ant.

Dugu Bohu was shocked and looked at Gu Xuan and the hand pressing on his shoulder.

He felt as if he was being suppressed not by a hand, but by a towering pillar, and he had no power to resist at all.

However, recalling Gu Xuan's words, his eyes lit up instantly.

"I will accept any price as long as you can save my son."

Dugu Bo hurriedly and excitedly assured him.

"Don't worry, it's guaranteed to live, but it might hurt a little."

"It's alright. As long as Xin'er can survive, I believe he can endure some pain."

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo quickly assured him.

Gu Xuan gave Dugu Bo a strange look before shifting his gaze.

This is truly a wonderful son of yours.

He stared intently at Dugu Xin until he discovered that the deadly poison in Dugu Xin's body had been completely purified. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he channeled the power of the Monkey Talisman onto Dugu Xin's Martial Soul.

He prepared to forcibly alter Dugu Xin's Jade Scale Serpent Martial Soul with his great soul power.

As for pain—

It's painful, but at least I can live.

"Ah ...

The previously weak and listless Dugu Xin suddenly became energetic and let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

The pitiful howls echoed throughout the entire Dugu Mansion.

Although Dugu Bo's eyes showed reluctance when he saw this scene, he could only suppress his heartfelt reluctance when he saw Dugu Xin, who was still full of energy and had the strength to let out such a scream.

In the end, he even turned his head away, unable to bear watching what was happening.

"My husband!"

Dugu Xin's screams lasted less than a minute before a woman dressed in a green dress with her hair piled up on her head stumbled in.

Seeing Dugu Xin and Gu Xuan howling incessantly, they thought some kind of enemy was attacking, and instantly activated their martial spirits and pounced towards Gu Xuan.

"Oh, I almost forgot about you."

Upon seeing the woman who suddenly appeared, Gu Xuan immediately realized that Dugu Yan seemed to have a mother in addition to her father.

However, he didn't pay attention to when he died.

However, it seems that he is still alive, but the toxins in his body have accumulated to a certain extent.

I reckon he doesn't have many months left to live.

If we're going to save them, then we should do everything we can to save them.

He directly unleashed a talisman of divine power at Dugu Yan's mother, then used his mental power to control her in place.

"Yuan'er, don't move. He means no harm; he's just treating Xin'er."

When Dugu Bo saw his daughter-in-law stumble in, his heart jumped into his throat.

Having shared a bed with Dugu Xin for many years, especially during the process of conceiving Dugu Yan, Qin Yuan'er's body had long harbored the hidden danger of the Green Scale Snake venom.

Without Gu Xuan's appearance, he wouldn't have had more than a few months to live.

He had always felt guilty towards Qin Yuan'er, and if Qin Yuan'er were to die in front of him today, he estimated he would feel so guilty that he would die.

He quickly explained to Qin Yuan'er.

"Hmm~"

However, Qin Yuan'er didn't have time to listen to his explanation. The moment the divine power of the horse talisman entered her body, she felt as if she had ascended to the celestial realm, and her whole body felt indescribably comfortable.

I was completely immersed in the blissful feeling of extreme health.

Gu Xuan, on the other hand, manipulated Dugu Xin's martial soul as if he were kneading clay, forcibly changing it from the Azure Scale Snake into the Azure Bull Python.

As his martial soul changed, Dugu Xin's body also changed continuously, his thin body became strong and powerful, and his height continued to increase.

The visible changes left Dugu Bo stunned.

"So I shouldn't die after this, right?"

Gu Xuan glanced at Dugu Xin.

The pain of changing one's martial soul is beyond what ordinary people can endure. Even though Dugu Xin had suffered all kinds of hardships since childhood, he still fainted from the pain.

Withdrawing his divine power, Gu Xuan checked on Dugu Xin's condition. The toxins in his body had been completely cleared, and his martial soul had transformed into the Azure Bull Python, so it should no longer produce any toxins.

It's quite normal for someone to live to be thirteen years old under normal circumstances.

Qin Yuan'er should be in a similar situation. Without the threat of deadly poison, it's normal for her to live to be eighty or ninety years old.

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty!"

Dugu Bo looked at the unconscious Dugu Xin. Although a pang of heartache flashed in his eyes, he could clearly feel the immense vitality and aura emanating from Dugu Xin's body.

Even Qin Yuan'er was the same; her body exuded a sense of health from the inside out.

It's done! It's really done!

Dugu Bo's eyes instantly turned red upon seeing this. After countless years, he had finally found the way to free their Jade Scale Serpent Martial Souls from the shackles of fate.

However, before Dugu Bo could get up to express his gratitude, Gu Xuan's figure disappeared in front of him.

Gu Xuan had no interest in staying to chat idly with Dugu Bo.

Although they are both Dugu Bo, they are simply two identical entities from different time periods.

He has absolutely no connection with Dugu Bo from his world.

He needs to immediately return to the future to see how his achievements have been.

As Gu Xuan strolled through the time-space corridor, he sensed something as soon as he took a step. Turning his head, he saw that he had also left a phantom anchor point at this point in time.

Furthermore, two transparent thin lines connect the two phantoms, as if they were piercing through two worlds.

"It seems to be having some effect."

Seeing this strange change, Gu Xuan's eyes lit up and he quickly ran back to his original timeline.

The presence of these two thin lines further solidified his answer.

Only after Gu Xuan stood still at the location of his original timeline's illusory image did he retract the divine power of the rabbit talisman.

"Soon, we'll know the answer soon."

A fiery glint flashed in Gu Xuan's eyes. If even this could be accomplished, then things would get interesting from here on out.

The time-space corridor once again vanished like a dream, and Gu Xuan was reintegrated into his original time and space.

Whether it succeeds or not depends on this opportunity.
