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

Gaius's undisguised sneer suddenly brought Chen Ming, who was seething with anger, back to his senses.

He then realized what kind of being he was speaking to.

He was furious about the environment of the Linghai Mountains, which had caused countless deaths there.

The problem is, Gaius didn't force you to go into the mountains, did he?

[This Spirit Sea Mountain Range is someone else's territory, so naturally they want to decorate it the way they like.]

Just like your own room, if you have to consider other people's opinions when decorating your own room, is it still your own room?

The real cause of suffering for the people of Silvermoon City has always been the city's upper echelons, those who forced them into the mountains.

Having understood all this, Chen Ming opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

Chen Ming fell silent, but Xu Aoxin spoke again, asking a question.

"Lord Gaius, may I ask what changes would occur to the Spirit Sea Mountains if people frequently died there?"

This is Silvermoon City's last remaining question.

Why are the higher-ups in Silvermoon City driving wave after wave of people into the Spirit Sea Mountains?

[The Soul-Severing Cave that Xu Aoxin asked about earlier was a location that her father was particularly concerned about.]

However, not everyone who goes into the mountains visits the Cave of Broken Souls.

If that's the case, why did they still do it?

"Do people frequently die in the mountains?"

"Then their goal is probably to get something from that guy in the Black Abyss Cave, right?"

[Damon said somewhat uncertainly.]

"Black Abyss Cave?"

Upon hearing this address, Xu Aoxin and Chen Ming, who had snapped out of their daze, frowned. Chen Ming, in particular, was completely unfamiliar with the name.

"How much do you humans know about the spirit beasts in the Spirit Sea Mountains that are over 100,000 years old?"

Damon suddenly asked an unrelated question.

"Three: one is the Crimson-Eyed Scaled Dragon, one is the Azure Lotus Sky-Treading Steed, and the other is the Azure Blood Heart-Eating Serpent."

Chen Ming answered truthfully.

"Is this the name you humans gave us? Not bad, at least it sounds alright."

Damon nodded in satisfaction.

"I am the so-called Crimson-Eyed Scaled Dragon. Although my race is a Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon, the name doesn't matter."

"As for Xiaolian, she has a gentle nature and I don't think she would mind you calling her by that name."

A hint of tenderness flickered across Damon's face when the so-called "Little Lotus" was mentioned.

Seeing Damon's expression, Chen Ming and Xu Aoxin immediately understood everything.

"As for the final Azure Blood Devouring Serpent, it was specially trained by me to guard the Spirit Sea Mountains; it's considered one of my subordinates."

"That guy was incredibly greedy. He specialized in planting poisonous plants in the mountains, and for a time, he made the mountains a complete mess."

Damon's words made Xu Aoxin and Chen Ming almost hold their breath.

Good heavens, so the Spirit Sea Mountains really are your backyard!

[Grandpa once tested his successor here. Afterwards, my father inherited this place and chose it as his lair. My son later inherited it from his father, and then found a wife and trained his subordinates here.]

"This is truly an eye-opener. If I hadn't been with Yu Xiaogang, I would never have known that the Linghai Mountains were like this."

Chen Ming sighed inwardly.

"Because that guy made a mess of the mountains, I ordered him to clean up the environment here."

"So that guy spent a lot of resources to cultivate a Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy."

Ultimately, the Bloodthirsty Poison Vine purified the excess poisonous miasma of the Spirit Sea Mountain Range, and its root system spread throughout the entire range.

"I think the reason you mentioned so many people dying in the mountains is because someone discovered the Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy."

[Damon said.]

"It's actually a Bloodthirsty Poison Vine? And a hundred-thousand-year-old one at that?"

Xu Aoxin's mouth dropped open.

[The Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy, an extremely malevolent plant-type soul beast.]

People first encountered these spirit beasts because they possessed the ability to neutralize toxins.

Flowers bloom on the vines of the Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy; these flowers absorb the toxins and convert them into nutrients for the plant.

The fruit that grows on the vines can neutralize the toxins absorbed by the flowers when consumed.

[Originally, plant-type spirit beasts were thought to be quite good by humans, but after their true nature was discovered, few people had any goodwill towards them.]

[Because the Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy's favorite nourishment isn't toxins, but flesh and blood, especially the flesh and blood of human Soul Masters.]

The fruit of the Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy does indeed possess detoxifying properties, but obtaining it safely is no easy feat.

Because those fruits are precisely the bait that the Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy uses to lure its prey.

If a creature becomes poisoned and tries to pick the fruit of the Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy to cure it, it will be attacked by the poisoner.

[And if they fail to defeat it, they can only become food for the Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy.]

These plant-type soul beasts, which feed on flesh and blood to enhance their cultivation, are notorious in the human soul master world.

[And without exception, all the Soul Masters who used the Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy as their Martial Soul ultimately became Evil Soul Masters.]

That's why Xu Aoxin was so surprised when she learned that the ground beneath her feet was covered with the roots of a 100,000-year-old bloodthirsty poison vine.

"The bloodthirsty poison vine has become treacherous and greedy due to its long-term association with the Azure Blood Heart-Eating Serpent."

"Someone probably met that guy by chance and formed a partnership with him."

"That's why you humans often send people into the mountains to die and then feed them to the bloodthirsty poison vines underground."

"As you probably know, the Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy's favorite food is you Soul Masters."

[Damon said with a playful expression.]

Xu Aoxin and Chen Ming remained silent, their faces dark.

"But I still can't understand the basis for his cooperation with the Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy."

"He led people into the mountains, and after feasting on the bloodthirsty poisonous vines, what did he gain?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Aoxin asked.

"After the Bloodthirsty Poison Ivy reaches 100,000 years, it can bear a completely new kind of fruit, which comes from undigested flesh and blood."

[Its function is to prolong life.]

Damon's face still held that playful expression.

[The fruit that grants longevity is useless to spirit beasts.]

But for humans, it's a different story.

"So...that's how it is..."

I understand now, I understand completely.

So that was the purpose all along.

The thought of his father, outwardly appearing virtuous and upright, while secretly and indifferently consuming the fruit of the Bloodthirsty Poison Vine, was unbearable.

[These fruits were even formed from the bloodthirsty poison ivy using undigested flesh and blood.]

Xu Aoxin suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

[His own father was actually a demonic spirit master.]

No wonder the evil spirit masters on the Sun and Moon Continent can never be completely eliminated; it turns out the greatest evil spirit master is the Sun and Moon Emperor himself!
