Douluo: The Dragon King's Descent of the Gods

Chapter 81 Late Night Surprise

The Red Dust Family, dinner time.

At the dinner table, Huan Hongchen shared the events of the afternoon with her family as an amusing anecdote.

"—I initially thought he was from the Dragon-Snake Clan, but he said his martial soul is the Body Form. The Body Form Sect is really good at hiding things. The apparent successor is Aruheng, but they've hidden someone even more powerful in secret. At such a young age, he's cultivated the innate secret technique to such a level; even the Dark Demon Scythe can't cut the skin on his fingers."

"Sigh, I was so shocked at the time. When he left, I forgot to ask for his phone number and Douluo Continent."

"Uh—Grandpa, what's with that expression?"

At the head of the dining table sat a tall, robust, and refined middle-aged man.

This person is none other than Du Hongchen, the current patriarch of the Hongchen family, the lifelong honorary dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the head of the Mingde Hall, a level 10 mecha maker, and a level 99 Limit Douluo.

At the dinner table, it wasn't just Du Hongchen who had a strange expression; basically, all the elders had the same expression, as did the younger generation like Huan Hongchen.

"Huan, the Meng Xinghe you mentioned isn't from the Body Sect," Du Hongchen said in a rather good mood. "Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena are the white-haired, purple-eyed girl you mentioned. They are the core disciples of the Spirit Pagoda and the most outstanding geniuses among the younger generation of the Spirit Pagoda."

"They came to the academy for a visit and study at the invitation of the school, but no specific time was agreed upon, so the academy did not arrange any reception staff. Unexpectedly, the two of them arrived on the first day of winter vacation. It seems that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is still very attractive to them, and some of our worries are unnecessary."

"Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena will be attending the academy in the future. Ming and Huan, you two siblings, remember to get along well with them. Because, barring any unforeseen circumstances, one of them will be the next tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, and the other will be the deputy tower master."

"Yes, Grandpa, we understand."

Ming Hongchen and Huan Hongchen nodded at the same time.

Late at night, in downtown Mingdu.

Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena walked along the bustling street, through the busy intersection, and arrived at an ancient church.

In the Holy Spirit Church, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult, a statue stands in the center of a circular pool directly in front of the church. It is a statue of the Holy Spirit Cult's founder, God Douluo. The statue's face is hidden under a hood, and he holds a book in his hands, giving people a sense of wisdom, calmness, and erudition.

"The statue of the god stands here, and many people come to worship every day."

A night watchman dressed in white robes emerged from the darkness carrying an old lantern. The flame illuminated his face, revealing white hair and beard, and a kind expression that seemed to exude a warm and comforting aura.

-

"It has never happened before that a deity himself came to the church to worship his own statue late at night."

"Isn't it available now? Don't you think so, old man Yi?"

Meng Xinghe smiled as he looked at the old man in front of him. The flame from the lantern illuminated the darkness in front of the church, but the passersby seemed not to see it. Some walked straight past, while others stopped in front of the church, offered a prayer, and then left.

The pedestrians reacted as if there was no old man carrying a lantern or two children around nine years old in front of the church.

"Alright, what can I do? I'm a Night's Watchman. Come in."

Electrolux opened the iron gate from the inside, pushing it open a crack to let Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena in.

Gu Yuena suppressed her curiosity and followed behind Electrolux and Meng Xinghe inside. After turning left and right, they arrived at the underground space located directly below the Church of the Holy Spirit.

The candles on both sides of the wall lit up automatically. It was a closed room, not very large. There seemed to be something engraved on the floor. In Gu Yuena's knowledge, it seemed to be a very high-level magic circle, and it was related to space.

"The teleportation magic circle, the surprise Xinghe prepared for me, must have been placed in some small dimension. How mysterious."

A minor plane is a small world that can only stabilize its own space by attaching itself to a primary plane.

There are many such minor planes on Douluo Star, but only a few have been discovered, and even fewer can be utilized. These are all controlled by the top powers of the Federation, and the Holy Spirit Cult is one of them.

Meng Xinghe glanced at the slightly excited Gu Yuena, then looked at Electrolux, "Elder Electrolux, we can begin."

As soon as the words were spoken, the magic circle engraved on the ground was lit up. The silvery-white light flowed along the patterns of the magic circle like clear water, just like countless branching rivers finally converging together, forming a spatial gate at the center of the magic circle.

"Come on, Nana, the surprise I prepared for you is behind the door."

"Mm." Gu Yuena nodded and walked into the space gate side by side with Meng Xinghe. The scene before them was completely new.

They were in a secluded valley surrounded by mountains, an environment that felt like a paradise, a place best left unsaid to outsiders.

A vast expanse of white stretched before my eyes, the air was warm and humid, and carried a sulfurous smell.

Once her vision had fully adjusted, Gu Yuena immediately focused her gaze on the center of the valley.

There, there is a peculiar lake, its water displaying two distinct colors: one half as clear and blue as ancient ice, the other as fiery red as magma. A straight dividing line runs from the center of the lake, separating the two colors. They seem to blend together yet remain completely separate, like two bickering lovers who never interact.

The lake shore is surrounded by countless exotic flowers and plants, with vibrant colors and enormous sizes, making it a veritable plant kingdom.

However, these rare and exotic flowers and plants, which were extremely rare and even unheard of by outsiders, failed to hold Gu Yuena's attention for even a moment.

Gu Yuena's crystal-clear eyes, like amethyst, were fixed on the two-colored lake in the center of the valley. The bloodline of the Silver Dragon King was boiling within her, as if calling out something.

flapping—flapping—

A water tornado of ice and fire rose from the calm, two-colored lake, transforming into twin dragons of ice and fire that swirled in mid-air. The dragon king-level might of the Ice (Water) Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King spread out, causing Gu Yuena to involuntarily unleash the majesty of the Silver Dragon King as a half-dragon god. Behind her, a silver dragon phantom radiating seven-colored light appeared, along with a much smaller and more ethereal golden dragon phantom.

Meng Xinghe stood beside Gu Yuena, the four dragon mights permeating the air having no effect on him whatsoever; only the wind pressure caused by their power scattered a few strands of hair on his forehead. However, all the exotic flowers and rare herbs growing in this valley trembled without exception, especially some ferocious beast herbs that could condense into human form.

The twin dragons of ice and fire descended, transforming into two middle-aged men on the ground, one dressed in ice-blue robes and the other in crimson robes. They knelt before Gu Yuena and respectfully said, "The Ice Dragon King (Fire Dragon King) pays respects to Your Majesty!"
