A comparison of the two Douluo, starting with Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang.

[The video continues...]

After defeating the Shadow Wolf pack and unexpectedly obtaining a soul bone, Yu Xiaogang continued leading the group forward.

Along the way, Yu Xiaogang encountered several more groups of soul beasts, but compared to the Shadow Wolf pack, these soul beasts were insignificant.

The highest level is only two thousand years old.

[Soul beasts of this level cannot even break through the defenses imposed on them by the support soul masters of the Mountain Alliance.]

Soon, a huge rock came into Yu Xiaogang's view.

The enormous rock appeared abruptly out of place in the mountains, as if it did not originally belong to this area.

[After settling the group on the rock, Yu Xiaogang climbed to the top of the Wangshan Rock and began to gaze at the distant scenery.]

As far as the eye can see, the high peaks rise layer upon layer, reaching into the clouds; some areas are even shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see what lies there.

The lower areas, however, resembled secluded valleys or abysses, as if something extraordinary was lurking within.

Yu Xiaogang frowned as he carefully observed the surrounding scenery, even unleashing his spiritual power to sense the situation within the mountains.

[Then Yu Xiaogang discovered that within the Spirit Sea Mountains, there were significantly more elemental particles of one attribute than those of other attributes.]

That's the dark attribute.

Using his mental power to perceive carefully, Yu Xiaogang could clearly sense that about 50% of the surrounding elemental particles were of the dark attribute, and in darker areas, this figure even reached 60%.

This is completely abnormal.

[In a normal situation, various elemental particles with different properties should be evenly distributed between heaven and earth.]

Even if the concentration of a certain elemental particle is much higher than that of other elements in certain specific locations, it would only account for 40% to 50%.

[Like the far north of the Douluo Continent, where ice and water elements dominate.]

For example, the Volvo Desert and the Zhuangyan Volcano are dominated by earth and fire elements, respectively.

In places like the Star Dou Great Forest, wood-type attributes dominate.

Under normal circumstances, wood-attribute elemental particles should dominate the Linghai Mountains.

Even if there are other elemental particles, it's absolutely impossible to reach this proportion.

"This is very abnormal."

Yu Xiaogang expanded the range of his mental perception and discovered that, regardless of the location, dark elemental particles dominated.

"So, the anomalies in the Spirit Sea Mountains are all caused by elemental particles?"

"Is there some special item with dark attributes here, or is the deity that may exist deep within these mountains a deity inclined towards dark attributes?"

[Yu Xiaogang's inner speculation.]

This guess aligns with Yu Xiaogang's current impression of the Linghai Mountains.

Based on the numerous records of Silvermoon City, Yu Xiaogang perceived the Spirit Sea Mountains as an extremely sinister place.

[Cold, cruel, like an abyss, it felt like it was about to swallow everyone whole.]

[Adding to the chaos in Silvermoon City, and Xu Aoxin's mention of problems with the food grown by residents near Silvermoon City.]

All of these factors are leading people towards irritability and aggression.

The dark attribute, to some extent, aligns with this characteristic.

After all, when the dark side of human nature is brought to the surface, wouldn't people become irritable and easily angered?

Just as Yu Xiaogang was pondering this question, suddenly, under his perception, the dark-attribute particles behind him fluctuated violently.

Sensing the fluctuation, Yu Xiaogang quickly turned his head.

Then they saw that the eyes of their own bodies, Gu Rong, Xu Aoxin, and Chen Ming, standing not far away, began to regain their original brightness from their previous emptiness.

"So, this so-called brain fog is an application of dark properties?"

Although Yu Xiaogang had a question in his mind, his eyes conveyed certainty.

On the other side, Chen Ming, having regained his senses, immediately tensed up and began to survey his surroundings.

When he realized he was in the Wangshan Stone area, he remarked that he was quite lucky this time.

But when he turned his eyes and saw Yu Xiaogang and the other two beside him, his previously calm mood instantly turned as if struck by lightning.

"Am I dreaming?"

Chen Ming muttered to himself.

Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why they all stayed together after entering the Spirit Sea Mountains.

This is something that simply cannot happen.

[Two people could be described as incredibly lucky, but four people?]

[Stop joking!]

So Chen Ming tried pinching himself to wake himself up.

However, when his hand reached down to his thigh, a slightly cool sensation touched him, and Chen Ming subconsciously looked down at his leg.

Then he saw the dark-attribute artifact encasing his legs.

"What is this now?"

Chen Ming looked bewildered.

What exactly happened during this period when my mind was in a fog?

Xu Aoxin shared the same question as Chen Ming. Although she had never been into the mountains, she had heard so much about what happened after entering.

The scene of them all together right now is simply impossible.

[Besides that, what are all these things on my body?]

Unlike Xu Aoxin and Chen Ming, Gu Rong, upon waking up and seeing her surroundings, especially noticing her own condition, immediately understood what had happened.

He then turned his gaze to Yu Xiaogang, only to find that Yu Xiaogang was looking elsewhere.

Following Yu Xiaogang's gaze, Gu Rong saw Yu Xiaogang's dark elemental clone and the little dragon standing high above.

"Hiss, so, Xiaolong avoided that brain fog thing?"

Gu Rong wasn't stupid; given the current situation, how could he not guess what had happened?

"Yes, I talked to Xiaolong before going into the mountains and gave him permission to use my body."

"If I fall into a mental fog after entering the mountains, and it can still be clear-headed, then it can come out, help me condense a clone, and then pull out my spiritual power and inject it into the clone."

"That way I can watch us safely make our way into the mountains."

[While simultaneously relaying the message from his clone, Yu Xiaogang explained the general situation to Gu Rong.]

"What...what did you say?"

"You've avoided the fog of the mind?!"

[Gu Rong and Yu Xiaogang's conversation wasn't conducted discreetly, so the instant he finished speaking, Chen Ming on the other side shouted.]

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

But no matter how unbelievable it seemed, their current location told him that it was all real.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming looked at Yu Xiaogang with utter astonishment.
