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

Yu Xiaogang didn't care about Chen Ming's expectations.

My interest in those dangerous places stems entirely from the god who established the Path to Heaven.

"Judging from the situation with the Sea God, although the entire ocean is the Sea God's territory, the core area where the other party is located is still Sea God Island."

"Based on this comparison, perhaps the entire Spirit Sea Mountain Range is this god's core territory?"

"But then again, doesn't this god of the Spirit Sea Mountains need followers or anything like that?"

This is the point that puzzles Yu Xiaogang the most.

Look at the Sea God; the entire Sea God Island is filled with his followers. All the rules are perfectly orderly, and divine trials will befall everyone who enters the island.

Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent, the Angel God regards Douluo Continent as the foundation of his faith, cultivating outstanding talents for each generation of the Qian family, ensuring they always stand at the pinnacle of Douluo Continent.

Both of these gods placed great importance on the faith within their own territories.

[On the other hand, consider this one from the Linghai Mountains.]

[They're completely in a state of nonchalance, not caring about anything.]

[Believers, high-ranking officials, influence... nothing at all.]

[In fact, if it weren't for the striking similarities between the situation on Qingyun Road and the Light of the Sea God, Yu Xiaogang and his companions wouldn't have been able to confirm that this was the territory of a god.]

"Is she the type who doesn't care about these things, or is there some other reason?"

Even before arriving at Qingyun Road, Yu Xiaogang had already developed a strong curiosity about this god from the Linghai Mountains.

Driven by curiosity, Yu Xiaogang's spirit propelled his clone deep into the perilous area.

The people of Silvermoon City named this perilous place Illusion Valley.

It is said that those who enter this place will experience all sorts of hallucinations.

These hallucinations are like a fog in the mind when entering a mountain; even those with strong mental power cannot dispel them.

Enveloped in these illusions, those who enter the perilous place gradually lose themselves, unable to distinguish the boundary between reality and illusion.

The deeper you go, the more real the illusion becomes.

[A man who strayed into the depths but was fortunate enough to possess a soul bone, thus escaping, recounted his experience.]

"Upon entering the Valley of Illusions, I was initially met with illusions of money, beautiful women, and delicious food. I was able to remain unmoved by these things."

"Going any deeper would just be an illusion of rare treasures and soul bones."

"To be honest, at the time I thought those rare and precious materials were from the valley, so I believed it."

[Then my nightmare began]

"The moment I obtained the soul bone and the rare treasure, the scene before my eyes changed."

"I went to a place with really beautiful scenery."

"It was a peaceful and beautiful place, inhabited by a group of kind people who treated me with sincerity and love. The elderly were kind, the middle-aged were simple and honest, the young were enthusiastic, and the children were adorable."

"There, everyone treated me like family. The fighting between Soul Masters disappeared, and even manual labor was much less troublesome."

"Because the climate there is always optimal, the crops in the fields grow extremely vigorously without any care."

"Looking back now, that environment was my biggest dream—to have a paradise where I no longer have to worry."

"So I became engrossed in that wonderful life, until my soul bone triggered its passive ability, sending me back to the pre-set location."

"Then I realized that I had been trapped in a hallucination for dozens of days."

"For the past few dozen days, my body has been completely consumed by hallucinations, and I can't feel anything is wrong."

"The reality is, my body hasn't had food or water for dozens of days, and even with my level six strength, it can't hold on any longer."

"Even so, when I think back to the life I experienced in my hallucinations, I still feel that life was too wonderful."

"All I can say is, being deceived by such illusions, I wouldn't have felt wronged even if I died."

This is the true account from the survivors who ventured deep into the Valley of Illusions.

Therefore, when Yu Xiaogang's clone entered the Illusionary Spirit Valley and saw a pile of glittering gold nuggets in the roadside grass ahead, he didn't even glance at them.

Then, just as the story describes, delicious food, beautiful women, and all sorts of temptations appeared before Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

[Faced with these situations, Yu Xiaogang didn't even bother to glance at them.]

He simply walked forward with firm steps.

Seemingly sensing Yu Xiaogang's determination, all sorts of rare and precious treasures appeared before him.

[It's like the Thunderous Vajra Grass that my father took back in Sunset Forest; it's appearing in large quantities now.]

[Specialties like the rare and exquisite chrysanthemum, the eight-petaled fairy orchid, and the fragrant and elegant fairy products appeared in droves.]

[In other words, Yu Xiaogang knew beforehand that these were all illusions. If he hadn't known they were illusions, he would have pounced on them right now.]

[Our sect can create a large number of Title Douluos simply by combining one of these celestial herbs with other herbs to make a tonic.]

If all of this were real, Yu Xiaogang couldn't imagine how powerful a force he could build with it.

Seemingly sensing Yu Xiaogang's attitude towards these celestial herbs, the soul bones began to appear.

[Tortoise bones, skull, left arm bones, right arm bones, left leg bones, right leg bones, external soul bones...]

Like roadside stones, soul bones were scattered all around. Even when they activated the storage soul tool containing hundreds of soul bones in Sunset Forest, the scene wasn't as spectacular as it was now.

"This is really..."

Even Yu Xiaogang was speechless.

Honestly, not many people could ignore this scene, right?

But Yu Xiaogang is alright; after all, he has also experienced the impact of a soul bone.

But soon, Yu Xiaogang couldn't take his eyes off him.

[Because books appeared before him.]

[Summary of Methods for Perfecting and Non-destructive Condensation of Soul Cores]

【General Treatise on the Evolution of Soul Masters' Martial Souls】

[A Fundamental Analysis of Martial Soul Fusion Techniques]

[A Detailed Tutorial on Becoming a God]

[…]

Books were laid out in front of Yu Xiaogang, each cover displaying its contents.

[And the contents of each book made Yu Xiaogang want to flip through them and take a look.]

[Simply put, the content of these books was irresistible to Yu Xiaogang, as they were all subjects of his research.]

[The condensation of the soul core, a detailed summary of the evolution of the martial soul, the disassembly of the martial soul fusion technique...]

[Every piece of knowledge here is something that even Yu Xiaogang couldn't figure out in a short time, no matter how hard he tried.]

[It takes a long time of experimentation and countless trials and errors to finally find the answer.]

Now, the answers to all these questions are laid out before him.

[Perhaps I can find the answer simply by opening this book.]

Only Yu Xiaogang could understand this kind of temptation.

To put it bluntly, it's like having a stunningly beautiful woman dancing in front of a lustful man, especially since her clothes are only partially covering her, and her face is radiating seductive charm.

Who could resist such a sight?
