Douluo Continent: My strongest soul beast was exposed by the Heavenly Curtain?

Chapter 54 Unrestricted Adaptation? Coexisting with Disaster? (Please continue reading)

When the sound from the sky became the last echo between heaven and earth, the entire Douluo Continent seemed to be put on some kind of invisible pause button.

Whether it's the bustling and lively Heaven Dou City or the solemn and majestic headquarters of the Spirit Hall;

Whether it is the Central Plains where sects stand in great numbers, or the far north and the depths of the stars where soul beasts roam freely;

At this moment, all humans, soul masters, ordinary people, and even ancient beings hidden in the shadows, involuntarily raised their heads and looked up at the sky above.

That wasn't out of awe, but out of incomprehension.

"—Water bears?"

When this unfamiliar and absurd name was thrown out by the heavens in an almost "announcement" manner, a collective bewilderment appeared for the first time on the Douluo Continent.

That is not the name of a powerful dragon.

It was not the reputation of an ancient, ferocious beast.

It doesn't even have a single "domineering" syllable.

"What kind of spirit beast is this?"

Inside the main hall of the Spirit Hall headquarters.

A cardinal blurted out the words instinctively, his voice sounding particularly abrupt in the empty hall.

Immediately afterwards, the previously calm atmosphere inside the hall began to show subtle disturbances.

"Water——bear——worm?"

"Insect-type spirit beasts? I've never seen such a name in any ancient texts."

"The number one ranked legendary soul beast is actually an insect?"

Bibi Dong sat on the papal throne, her phoenix eyes slightly lowered, and her knuckles tapped lightly on her scepter.

"check."

Just one word.

The Spirit Hall's Spirit Beast Research Department sprang into action.

A large number of treasured ancient books were quickly brought out, including sealed soul beast illustrations, lost fragments, and rare handwritten copies from various eras, which were frantically flipped through page by page.

The scholars who had studied soul beasts for many years soon had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

The more they searched, the heavier their hearts became.

No.

still none.

Even in the most obscure, remote, and historically accurate sources, there is no record of anything that matches the description of "water bears".

Time passed little by little.

When the last book was closed, an eerily quiet silence fell over the hall.

"Your Majesty----"

The researchers of soul beasts exchanged glances, and finally the eldest one stepped forward.

No relevant records were found.

"It is not within any known soul beast system in the Douluo Continent."

This sentence was extremely difficult to say.

Because the meaning it represents is far more terrifying than the "unknown" itself.

Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes.

"In other words,"

"Is it truly an existence that transcends the system?"

The researcher took a deep breath and whispered, "I'm afraid so, Your Majesty."

"I can only say—it truly lives up to its reputation as the number one legendary soul beast."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shaken.

Legendary Soul Beast.

the first.

Moreover, it is the longest-living creature.

These two labels alone are enough to make any power re-examine the structure of the entire world.

"Continue recording."

Bibi Dong spoke calmly.

"Everything about it should be recorded."

Even if it's just a speculation, or a single image.

"Especially the parts related to the Dragon God."

Her gaze sharpened slightly.

The powerful Dragon God was born from a Soul Beast.

And now, this water bear also stands at the very top of the soul beast sequence.

What does this mean?

This means that spirit beasts are not outdated relics discarded by the times.

After completely refuting Yu Xiaogang's "theory of soul beast degeneration," the Spirit Hall's soul beast research department ushered in a true golden age.

Even Bibi Dong showed a rare hint of approval at this moment.

"Take careful notes."

"In the future, you will be the true heroes of the Spirit Hall."

at the same time.

The scene in the sky suddenly changed.

pitch black.

Dead silence.

There is no up or down, no front or back.

It was a universe where even "nothingness" seemed pale.

Until a massive explosion, beyond description, erupted in the sky!

Light and darkness, matter and energy, order and chaos, intertwine, collide, and tear apart in an instant!

-

The Douluo World is born!

Following closely behind were the first signs of life.

In the core area of ​​the explosion, an almost imperceptible "existence" quietly took shape.

That was Li Yannian.

He was born innocent and primitive.

They had no consciousness, no thoughts, and had not even formed the concept of "survival."

He could only passively accept everything from the outside world: energy, radiation, impact, and destruction.

It was at this moment that all the viewers in front of the canopy truly saw his "weakness" for the first time.

"So small?"

"Invisible even to the naked eye?"

"Is this kind of spirit beast really powerful?"

Numerous doubts have quietly arisen across mainland China.

"Seriously? That's it?"

"Ranked number one? Are you kidding me?"

"How did he even survive until now?"

Doubt, confusion, and even disappointment.

But the next moment, all sounds stopped abruptly.

Because of the disaster, it came.

That was not a single disaster.

Rather, it was the chaotic calamity at the beginning of the world.

A meteorite shower from the depths of the starry sky fell like a torrential rain.

A violent solar wind swept across the land;

The earth's crust is unstable, and volcanoes have been erupting for days.

Earthquakes and tsunamis, like out-of-control beasts, ravaged the land one after another.

That's an environment that no life can withstand.

Any ordinary life form.

However, Li Yannian exists.

He was swallowed by lava.

It was crushed by a meteorite.

It was torn apart, decomposed, and evaporated.

But the next moment, he "reappeared".

again and again.

In Tiandou City.

Tang Yuehua looked at the sky, her hands unconsciously clenching.

"—This is the true legend."

As a noblewoman from the Haotian Sect, she understood better than anyone what these disasters meant.

That's not simply a matter of strength.

Rather, it's a crushing defeat on a matter of life level.

Despite being an "insect," he survived in an era most unsuitable for life.

They even grew up.

"These disasters—instead, became nourishment for him?"

At this moment, countless viewers felt their scalps tingle.

And from within the sky, a calm and ancient narration slowly emerged:

Thinking back, if there hadn't been so many disasters, perhaps...

[Then I wouldn't be who I am today.]

A very simple sentence.

But this silenced the entire Douluo Continent.

When countless disasters struck the only tardigrade,

[Possessing unlimited adaptability, he began to change.]

Magma cannot destroy him; it only makes his structure more stable.

Earthquakes cannot tear him apart; they will only make him more flexible.

Calamities from the stars are not the end, but a gift.

[The immortal tardigrade, I've learned it!]

[Living with disaster.]

This moment.

Everyone finally understood.

Why is he number one?

It wasn't because of an outburst of power.

It's not because of noble blood.

Rather, it was time itself that was on his side.

"An existence that has lived since the birth of the Douluo World —"

"Unrestricted adaptation — learning from disasters and growing —"

"Can this kind of spirit beast still be defined as a 'spirit beast'?"

Countless people murmured to themselves.

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Fengzhi's gaze was brighter than ever before.

"Maybe----"

"We humans have been in the wrong place from the very beginning."

He slowly exhaled.

"Soul beasts are not enemies."

"But rather, the true natives of this world."

Chen Xin and the ancient banyan tree remained silent for a long time.

Ultimately, they found that they were unable to refute it.

Only Shrek.

Yu Xiaogang continued to sneer.

"A mere insect."

"Something that could be crushed with a single finger."

"They've simply stolen human power."

Tang San stood to the side and nodded vigorously.

They used this method to resist the collapse of their worldview.

Because once they admit it, all their previous theories will become a joke.

The scene on the sky slowly progresses.

Li Yannian has entered the next stage of growth.
