Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 124 Heading to the Collapsed World

"That was really exciting!"

"Uh-huh!"

After Alicia, Little Gresh, and Lan Ying jumped off Lang Lei, Lang Lei changed back to his original form.

"This will not be repeated!"

"I know, Lang Lei is the best~" Alicia said sweetly, hugging Lang Lei's arm.

Unbeknownst to Lang Lei, he was still secretly giving little Gretchen a meaningful look.

Little Gretchen also cooperated by taking Langley's other arm.

"Okay... let me go first," Lang Lei said helplessly. He was completely helpless against them...

Riding them back? That's unlikely, they won't turn into dragons.

Eh, what was the man-made collapse of Ellie and Gretchen like again?

"Let's get into the city quickly." Lang Lei skillfully picked up little Gretchen from the ground.

Alicia nodded and followed behind Langley.

The group was quite famous in the Douluo Continent, even more so than some Title Douluo. Naturally, they attracted a lot of attention from passersby along the way. However, the scene of Kevin unleashing the Heavenly Flame, which had been shown on the screen earlier, was still fresh in their minds, and they were somewhat afraid of Alicia and Little Gretchen.

Such destructive power is truly disturbing.

Lang Lei keenly sensed that spies from various factions had begun to take action, but he did not stop them.

Given the lack of strength, it's natural to be cautious, but letting those people know he's here now will save him a lot of trouble.

"Brother Lang Lei, there are a lot of people watching us again..." Little Greta tapped Lang Lei's shoulder.

"Well, that's because little Gretchen is so cute, naturally people want to take a second look," Langley replied.

"Little Du, what about me? What about me?" Alicia came closer when she heard this.

"Aili is as beautiful as ever," Lang Lei praised. "Of course, Lan Ying is also very cute."

"Why are they considered cute, but I'm not? Does Xiao Du think I'm too old?" Ellie asked, tilting her head.

"How could that be!" Lang Lei had become somewhat resistant to Alicia's words and calmly explained, "Of course it's because Alicia is more mature."

"Is that so? I'll get angry if you lie to a pretty girl~" Alicia said with a smile.

"I'll send it—"

"Pfft—" Alicia gently touched Lang Lei's lips with her finger. "Just kidding, of course I will always believe in Xiao Du."

Besides, why would I be angry with you?

"Then I'll thank you, Ellie, in advance?" Lang Lei said with a smile.

"Hmm~"

Passing through the massive city gates of Xingluo City, Lang Lei was somewhat surprised by the bustling scene before him. In his mind, the Xingluo Empire was rather martial, and he had expected the atmosphere in the capital to be more solemn.

But the scene before him—neatly arranged shops on both sides of the street, with a dazzling array of goods—was a complete surprise to Lang Lei. The sounds of hawking and laughter filled the air, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Looking up, towering buildings stood side by side, their painted eaves gleaming in the sunlight. Occasionally, a magnificent carriage would slowly pass by in the middle of the street, kicking up a cloud of dust. Lang Lei couldn't help but sigh, Xingluo City truly lived up to its reputation as a city on par with Tiandou City; its prosperity was comparable to that of Tiandou City.

Alicia excitedly tugged at Lang Lei's sleeve and pointed to the street food stalls, saying, "Look at all that food! It must be delicious!"

Lang Lei smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

So the group strolled around and sampled the local delicacies of Xingluo City, finding it quite interesting.

Following the flow of the crowd, the group arrived at the central square of Xingluo City. A magnificent statue stood in the square, seemingly recounting the city's glorious history. Many citizens were resting and chatting around it, while children chased and played near the statue, creating a peaceful scene.

The Star Luo Empire, which has always valued martial prowess, is not quite what Lang Lei imagined...

After having some fun, Lan Ying relaxed a lot and gradually integrated into the group.

Afterwards, Lang Lei and his group met up with Na'er and the others, and everything went very smoothly.

Lying on his bed in the bedroom, Lang Lei finally had time to try out the new lottery.

The bed was very soft, making one want to sleep. Thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had indeed been very busy lately and had hardly had any proper rest.

"System, prepare to start the lottery."

The lottery panel popped up very quickly the next moment.

"Wow! As expected of the upgraded version, it's so smooth!" Lang Lei joked.

Unfortunately, Elita is probably still asleep right now. The system itself has no intelligence, so Lang Lei's joke went unanswered.

The upgraded panel doesn't look much different.

Perhaps the only way to tell that it's been upgraded is...

Does the gold pattern drawn on the four edges of the panel count?

"Hmm... let's get our hands on Seele's summon card first..." Lang Lei thought for a moment, then issued the drawing command, "System, consume three draw chances, draw the complete Seele summon card!"

"Ding! Targeted draw in progress. White Seele Summoning Card detected in host's inventory. Drawing Black Seele Summoning Card now..."

"Ding, targeted extraction failed. The host has received a consolation prize: a surprise gift pack."

"..."

"Is there a chance of failing to draw this?"

"Ding, back to host, yes."

"..."

"Never mind, it's just three draws... System, open the surprise gift pack."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Black Seele Summoning Card."

"..."

"Explain?" Lang Lei asked, three question marks appearing above his head.

"The right to interpret all matters related to undrawn items belongs to the system spirit El'ita," the system replied in an unchanged tone.

"Forget it, let's not bother that little guy any longer," Lang Lei said speechlessly. "Do you think you're being funny?"

"Ding, back to host, you have a good sense of humor."

Lang Lei stopped talking to the system and instead opened the details page of the Black Seele Summoning Card.

Item: Black Seele Summoning Card (Purple)

Status: Incomplete...

Effect: Combine with White Seele Summoning Card (Purple) to obtain Seele Summoning Card (Gold), and randomly obtain Creation Authority or Wither Authority.

**Immediately leave Seele's side!**

"No problem... then, let's combine them!" Lang Lei took out the two cards and clicked to combine them.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the item Seele Summoning Card (Gold) x1"

Should we use it directly?

"use!"

In the blink of an eye, a white flower enveloped Lang Lei, moving so fast that even Lang Lei didn't have time to react.

……

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the right to create."

"The system has detected that the number of characters summoned by the host has reached three. The [Past Memories] will be activated immediately. Please prepare accordingly."

"What?" Lang Lei exclaimed in surprise.

Before he could speak, he saw a girl with dark blue hair trying to grab Lang Lei's hand.

But the next moment, Lang Lei disappeared...
