Douluo Continent: Gourmet Prisoner

Some have said that there is a wild beast whose meat is perfectly marbled, melting in your mouth; and a spring that continuously gushes forth a delicious, refreshing drink, tasting like the rich, fragrant juice of a melon or a ripe mango. Today is an era of gourmet food, and also an era of exploring unknown flavors.

"Damn it! Absolutely damn it!" In the realm of gods, the blue-haired figure paced back and forth in a fit of rage, veins bulging on his forehead. His eyes, which should have been brimming with wisdom, were now burning with fury. "The will of the Douluo Continent dares to defy my observation! And that damned Destruction! It actually sent people to secretly monitor me; it's truly courting death!"

"Third Brother, what's wrong?" A gentle female voice rang out. Xiao Wu walked over lightly, reached out and gently smoothed the wrinkles between his brows, her eyes full of concern. "Are you worried about things in the lower realm again? Xiao Zi too, you are clearly genuinely concerned about the safety of Douluo Continent, but he insists that you are interfering in the lower realm. It's really unreasonable."

"I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you." Tang San took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, his gaze softening slightly. "Where's Xiao Qi? Where did that girl run off to again?"

"Where else could it be?" Xiao Wu shook her head helplessly, but a smile played on her lips. "She's always grumbling about wanting to go down to the mortal realm, saying that life in the divine realm is too boring and she wants to see the place where you grew up. She also says she wants to find some good food."

Upon hearing this, Tang San pondered for a moment, a complex light flashing in his eyes, before slowly saying, "Since she wants to go, then let her go. Children need more experience to grow; staying in the greenhouse of the God Realm all the time will make it difficult for them to achieve great things."

"But Third Brother," Xiao Wu said, her face filled with worry, tugging at his sleeve, "the lower realm is fraught with danger, with constant conflicts between soul beasts and soul masters. Xiao Qi grew up in the God Realm and has never experienced such trials. Won't she be in danger?"

"Don't worry, I have my own plans." Tang San reached out and pulled Xiao Wu into his arms, his voice steady and powerful. "I will suppress Da Ming and Er Ming's strength to level 99 Limit Douluo, and have them go down to the mortal realm with Xiao Qi to protect her. With them there, Xiao Qi will definitely be safe."

Xiao Wu leaned against his chest, feeling his steady heartbeat, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

As Xiao Wu turned to leave, the gentleness on Tang San's face vanished instantly, replaced by an unfathomable, dark light. He murmured softly, his tone resolute: "Little Seven, for the sake of my grand plan spanning ten thousand years, I can only ask you to endure this hardship for now..."

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Garden of the God Realm, Xiao Qi was resting her chin on her hand, lying on the cloud steps, gazing at the misty Douluo Continent below, pouting her pink lips and complaining, "I really want to go down to the mortal realm to play! Daddy said there are all kinds of soul beasts there, and all sorts of interesting things, much more interesting than the unchanging God Realm..."

"Since you want to go so badly, Dad will take you down." Tang San's voice suddenly rang out from behind, carrying a hint of something unusual.

Little Seven turned around with delight, her big eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Really? Daddy! You're so great!"

"Of course it's true." Tang San smiled slightly, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly flashed and grabbed Xiao Qi. His divine power surged, and a dazzling blue light instantly enveloped Xiao Qi.

Before Xiaoqi could even utter a cry of alarm, she felt her soul being forcibly ripped away by a powerful force, and her consciousness quickly descended into chaos.

Tang San's fingertips flashed with light as he divided Xiao Qi's soul into three parts. He carefully held one part in his palm, while the other two parts, along with two enormous figures—Da Ming and Er Ming, whose strength had been suppressed—transformed into a stream of light, broke through the barrier of the God Realm, and headed straight for Douluo Continent.

Douluo Continent, deep within the core of the plane.

"Hmm?" A faint, ethereal consciousness murmured in confusion, "Tang San's spying... why did it suddenly disappear? And why is the status of the Douluo Continent inexplicably rising?"

It was plunged into deep self-doubt: "Am I truly the will of this plane? Why can't I even control this kind of change?"

Filled with doubt, this consciousness turned its gaze to the core area of ​​Douluo Continent—the Star Dou Great Forest.

When it saw the giant egg lying quietly beside the Lake of Life, its consciousness instantly surged: "Holy crap? What's with this egg?"

It clearly sensed that all the changes in the Douluo Continent originated from this sudden giant egg.

"I definitely didn't create this egg. Is it another visitor from another world?"

The will of the plane was caught in a dilemma: "What to do? Should we gamble?"

After a moment's thought, it sensed the energy emanating from the giant egg continuously nourishing the Douluo Continent, and its dimensional level steadily increasing. Finally, it gritted its teeth and made a decision: "I'll take the gamble! Even if they're visitors from another world, what does it matter if they can make the Douluo Continent stronger?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive amount of dimensional fortune, like a rushing river, poured into the giant egg.

Having done all this, the will of the plane quickly shifted its gaze and continued to keep a close eye on the direction of the God Realm—the threat posed by the God King Tang was always its greatest fear.

Inside the giant egg, Shi Yu was absorbing the surrounding energy with his eyes closed when he suddenly felt a warm and powerful force surge into his body, instantly spreading throughout his entire body and accelerating his previously slow recovery.

"There are more experts?" Shi Yu was startled. He then used the eggshell to sense information from the outside world. Fragments of sound and energy fluctuations gradually pieced together the truth, "So this is the Douluo Continent..."

He carefully sensed the special energy within his body.

"Could this be what they call luck?"

Shi Yu couldn't help but complain, "This plane's will is too pathetic. It was tricked by Tang San like this, and it still dares to trust outsiders? Or is it that Tang San hasn't become a god yet, and is still the original Douluo Continent?"

Despite his complaints, he couldn't help but exclaim, "But this move was truly righteous, Hagiwara (dimensional being), you're so touching, it almost makes me cry!"

But then he frowned, thinking, "No, if this were the second era of Dou Di, wouldn't this injected fortune be like a torch in the dark, instantly detected by Tang Shenwang?"

"That's not right either." He quickly dismissed the idea. "If that were the case, he should have been watching me when I first arrived. Since I'm safe and sound now, it means he's already set up his trap. My appearance might not have been what he expected."

"Forget it, there's no use thinking about it so much." Shi Yu simply put aside his distracting thoughts. "We'll deal with whatever comes our way, and wait until they hatch."

Time flies, and six months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The changes in the Star Dou Great Forest are becoming increasingly astonishing, and the originally normal ecosystem has been completely overturned.

In the territory of the Demon King, a strange tree appeared—its trunk and branches were all snow-white bones, yet roasted meat grew on them, emitting a rich aroma of meat; while near the territory of the Crimson King, a group of peculiar "roasted pigs" appeared—they were covered with charred skin, with fat constantly dripping from them, yet they could still move freely and even run on their own, and their tempting aroma could be smelled from miles away.

These strange creatures quickly attracted the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

At first, they were wary, but they couldn't resist the aroma. Some of the bolder spirit beasts tentatively pounced on the "roasted pig." With one bite, the tender and juicy meat burst in their mouths, and the rich aroma made them unable to stop eating.

What surprised the soul beasts even more was that after eating these strange creatures, they clearly felt their soul power increase and their physical fitness improve slightly.

While this improvement is negligible for top-tier ferocious beasts like Di Tian and Xiong Jun, it is a real benefit for low- to mid-level soul beasts.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

More and more soul beasts have joined the search. They are no longer satisfied with hunting ordinary soul beasts, but are looking for these "delicious foods" that can make them stronger.

In a short time, the Star Dou Great Forest was no longer just a place where the strong prey on the weak, but also a paradise for soul beasts to explore for food and improve their strength.

A culinary frenzy sweeping across the stars has officially begun, and the instigator of it all—the giant egg that carries the time's decree—still lies quietly beside the Lake of Life, its shell shimmering with ever-increasing light, as if it is nurturing an even greater revolution.
