Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 543 The Sins Committed by the Sea God (Please Subscribe!!! 4,000 words)

"Lex".

Lex, who was in a deep sleep, was awakened by Xu Yuan.

The spatial wormhole he knew was not close to the Hell Plane, but it wasn't far either. At the speed of Xu Yuan's Abyss Explorer, it would take about two months to reach the vicinity of the wormhole.

Of course, if Xu Yuan were to fully activate the spaceship and use his own soul power to accelerate its flight, this time could be shortened to half a month. However, given the dangers lurking in the universe, it is better to conserve enough energy.

Lex calculated the time; not even half of the two months had passed yet. How could Xu Yuan have woken him up?

"Xu Yuan? What's the matter?"

Xu Yuan looked at Lex with an interrogative air.

"Lex, I think it's necessary for us to have an open and honest talk before we head to the Sacred Heart Plane."

"What are you going to talk about?" Lex asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You've been hiding too much from me."

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, Lex paused for a moment before realizing what Xu Yuan meant.

Just before, he told Xu Yuan the truth about his journey to the Hell plane, something he hadn't mentioned when they first met.

Moreover, not only did they not say that, they also fabricated a completely different explanation.

"I've already told you my background, and I can assure you that I haven't lied to you again."

Xu Yuan looked doubtful.

He looked at Lex, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.

"There's definitely something you haven't told me outright."

Lex frowned.

After being stared at by Xu Yuan's suspicious gaze for a long time, he sighed helplessly.

"This has nothing to do with what happened between us, nor will it affect our plans. It's just a piece of history, the history of our Sacred Heart plane."

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

What is the history of the Sacred Heart plane?

"The thing in your hand that you call withered wood is actually a fragment of the sacred tree. It was originally the core of the sacred tree. After it broke, it split into three parts, and I obtained one part."

But I didn't tell you how the sacred tree was broken, did I?"

Xu Yuan's gaze flickered.

How did the sacred tree break?

Does this have anything to do with me?

Xu Yuan looked puzzled.

"It has little to do with you, nor with our upcoming plans, but it is somewhat related to your Douluo Continent."

Lex's words made Xu Yuan even more confused.

"Poseidon," Lex said, giving Xu Yuan a shocking answer.

"Who?"

Xu Yuan suspected there was something wrong with his ears.

How could it be the sea god?

Lex sighed again.

"Our meeting was both a coincidence and not a coincidence. In fact, after recuperating in the Hell Plane for so many years, the reason why your junior sister discovered me and brought me back to Douluo Star was because I saw the Soul Master system."

"The Soul Master system?"

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

When Rex was discovered by Na'er, it was Rex who deliberately made a move, and the reason was that he saw Na'er's martial soul.

It should be noted that Na'er's martial soul is not particularly orthodox; it belongs to the category of soul beast transformation and has undergone her own modifications, merging with the blood master system, making it somewhat of a hybrid.

The fact that they could recognize a martial spirit means they must have seen one up close.

"In the history of the Sacred Heart Plane, there have been two appearances of the Sea God. The first was a Sea God wielding a golden trident, who established the Sea God faith in the Sacred Heart Plane, quelled the chaos in the sea at that time, and laid the initial foundation for the unification of our Sacred Heart Plane. It was also because of this foundation that the Magic Alliance was founded. Subsequently, the Magic Alliance grew and almost ruled the entire plane. Later, the Sacred Heart Plane came into contact with the universe, expanded its territory, and developed into the subsequent Sacred Heart Starfield."

Lex looked emotional as he recounted the history of his hometown.

"That was the first time the Sea God appeared in the world. The golden trident he wielded was extraordinary. It was not only a divine weapon, but it was also in harmony with his mind, as if they had perfectly merged into one. Its effect was even comparable to a holy artifact, which is a super divine weapon."

"As for the second appearance of the Sea God, his appearance is similar to that of the first Sea God, both wielding a golden trident. However, the fusion of the second Sea God with the golden trident is not as outrageous. The trident in his hands is more like a normal divine weapon. However, he revealed something else that is similar to the situation when the first Sea God held the trident. It was a blade of grass. That should be the Blue Silver Emperor, the Blue Silver Emperor of your Douluo plane."

Xu Yuan was basically certain that the two sea gods Lex mentioned were indeed two successors: the first sea god and Tang San.

However, it turns out that both of them had been to the Sacred Heart Plane.

Based on the timeline, Lex was still in the Sacred Heart Plane at least ten thousand years ago. This means that there was no spacetime turbulence back then, the Douluo God Realm still existed, and if Tang San had been in charge of the central hub of the God Realm, he might have truly been able to travel long distances through the universe.

Using some coordinates left by the first sea god, they found the Sacred Heart Plane.

What is he going to do in the Sacred Heart plane?

Xu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he had a guess in his mind.

Lex's next words confirmed his suspicions.

"The sea god whose martial soul was the Blue Silver Emperor clashed with the elves and devoured nearly half of the Sacred Tree's essence, with the remaining essence splitting into three fragments."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath.

This seems to be something that Tang Shenwang would actually do.

"He possessed the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul that carried the Sea God's position. The Blue Silver Emperor had too many flaws in his cultivation. The Blue Silver Emperor, which should have followed the path of life, was instead filled with a lot of poison. Even after being baptized by the light of the Sea God, his foundation was still flawed. However, he was still able to elevate the Sea God's position to the God King level. So that's what happened."

This is truly looting everywhere.

The Tree of Life was comparable to a super artifact, devouring nearly half of its essence. This was far more effective in enhancing the Blue Silver Emperor's life essence than the Sea God's Light before Tang San became a god.

"There's still one more issue. With your level of understanding, you should be able to sense the faith, right? Shrek's faith is incredibly strong—"

Before Xu Yuan could finish speaking, Lex interrupted and answered.

"Indeed, that's why I didn't make any noise when your junior sister brought me back to the Sea God Pavilion, until I met you."

"If that's the case, then your Sacred Heart Plane and the Sea God are enemies, while I come from Shrek Academy, which has the faith in the Sea God. You still dare to cooperate with me?"

Lex looked at Xu Yuan without showing any guilty look in his eyes.

"You are different from the others in Shrek Academy. You don't have any faith in the Sea God. Besides you, there is also your teacher. I don't know if he has become a god and opened up a realm of the underworld, becoming the master of the plane. He also doesn't have any trace of faith in the Sea God."

Xu Yuan blinked, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

So, that's why Lex partnered with him?

Among a group of Shrek people with a strong belief in the sea god, he was the black mark?

However, based on the history Lex recounted, Xu Yuan became even more interested in the upcoming journey to the Sacred Heart Plane.

Where does the Sacred Heart plane fit within the entire universe?

Since Tang San was able to reach that place and devour the origin of the Tree of Life within his normal term of office, it is clear that the distance is not too far.

"Because my purpose in coming to the Hell Plane is exactly what I told you before: to study the forbidden spells of the contract. It has nothing to do with finding the Douluo Plane or the origin of the Sea God, so I didn't tell you about this."

"Actually, I did think about explaining this to you when I was at Shrek Academy, but then I thought about it and realized it wasn't necessary, so I didn't tell you."

Xu Yuan waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem.

"I don't have much of a relationship with Tang San, and it really has nothing to do with our cooperation. I'm just very curious about how he managed to devour the essence of the Tree of Life?"

This is where Xu Yuan's doubts lie.

"His Blue Silver Emperor has a built-in devouring attribute." Lex frowned and said, "Don't you know that? His Blue Silver Emperor has a devouring attribute."

"Are you sure it's his martial soul that has the ability to devour? And not the eight spider spears on his back?" Xu Yuan frowned as well.

"There's no mistake. Although he also possesses the Eight Spider Lances you mentioned, and his ability to devour life energy is very powerful, he only devours energy to nourish himself. However, when he devoured the origin of the Tree of Life, he did so directly with his martial soul. His martial soul definitely has the ability to devour."

Xu Yuan recalled the information he knew, and surprisingly, he had never heard of Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor having the ability to devour.

Even when it comes to devouring, Tang San mostly relies on the Eight Spider Lances.

Speaking of the ability to devour, among the Blue Silver Grass spirit masters that Xu Yuan knew, only Tang Ya had clearly awakened this attribute.

Wait, Tang Ya!

Xu Yuan looked at Lex and asked, "When did Tang San go to your Sacred Heart Plane?"

"About a hundred years before I came to the Hell plane."

A century of error.

The so-called "ten thousand years" is just a figure of speech.

Therefore, it is very likely that Tang San's journey to the Sacred Heart Plane takes place after the events of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect.

Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass possesses the ability to devour.

Then, the reason she recovered from her fallen state was because she obtained the essence of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Only one Blue Silver Emperor is allowed to exist on a single continent.

However, besides Tang San's group, there was another Blue Silver Emperor.

Even if the Blue Silver Emperor is in the original Sun and Moon Continent, that is a plane. Theoretically, a race like the Blue Silver Grass, which is found all over the planet, should have a means of communication.

Surely the Blue Silver Grass on an island can't be a separate system in itself, right?

Wouldn't that mean there are dozens or even hundreds of people on the entire Douluo Star who meet the requirements to become the Blue Silver Emperor?

Moreover, even if the two continents have perfect ecosystems and have developed two Blue Silver Emperors, given Tang San's personality, would he allow the existence of another Blue Silver Emperor to compete with him for the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline and imperial power?

After all, no matter what, the merging of the two continents creates an ecosystem, and the existence of two emperors means the division of the entire Blue Silver Emperor's authority.

With his Sea God abilities, he would definitely know of the existence of another Blue Silver Emperor.

Will he keep this Blue Silver Emperor?

So, whose bloodline origin did Tang Ya obtain from the Blue Silver Emperor?

"Has Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass's devouring attribute been transferred to him?"

Xu Yuan felt a sense of familiarity with this technique.

Wasn't Huo Yuhao's luck simply transferred to Tang Wutong?

The power of destiny may have been destined to belong to the auspicious beast and be given to Huo Yuhao. This is the chosen one born from the plane of destiny. However, Tang Wutong was also tainted by a certain amount of the power of destiny.

The grafting techniques are exactly the same.

After a brief chat with Lex, Xu Yuan put Lex back to sleep.

Having unexpectedly learned that Tang San had been to the Sacred Heart Plane, Xu Yuan felt that his trip to the Sacred Heart Plane this time had a more specific purpose.

time flies.

After traveling through space for two months, Xu Yuan reawakened Lex.

"Is this a wormhole?" Xu Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the collapsed space in front of him through the screen on the spaceship.

"Activate the wormhole jump technology and enter the wormhole," Lex said.

Xu Yuan followed Lex's instructions.

As the spaceship flickered, it was enveloped in a dense layer of spatial power, which propelled it into the collapsing space ahead.

boom!

In that instant, Xu Yuan felt his spiritual power enter another world.

Inside the wormhole, it seemed as if spatial dimensions had been transcended.

The space here is collapsing.

Everything turned into a singularity.

This is where everything begins, and where everything ends.

In the universe, wormholes allow one to travel infinite distances in an instant, from one end of the universe to the other.

At that moment, the spaceship plunged into the wormhole, and Xu Yuan felt an unprecedented shock.

"How about it? The scene inside the wormhole is exaggerated, isn't it?" Lex said. "In our Sacred Heart Plane's analysis, this is called a hyperdimensional space, which is a scene that is elevated again on the normal spatial dimension."

"According to our magicians' view, once you reach a certain dimension where you can no longer improve, if you want to forcibly break through this limitation again, you must regard all dimensions as a single point. Transcending this point will lead to a completely new realm."

"This is also the God-King realm that we magicians pursue, or in other words, the Transcendent realm. However, it is obviously much more difficult to transcend than to condense the origin, which is why our Sacred Heart Plane has never given birth to a God-King."

Transcendence?

Judging from the description, it does indeed have a sense of detachment.

But stepping out of one space also means entering another, higher-dimensional space.

While the two were talking, the spaceship had already passed through the wormhole and rushed out from the other end.

As the Abyss Spaceship burst out of the wormhole, the once peaceful starry sky around it instantly became fraught with danger.

Xu Yuan sensed a great deal of threat coming toward him.

This is?

"It should be the garrison of the Magic Alliance."

"garrison?"

"This place must be connected to the territory of the Blood Demon God Realm. Since we have a bad relationship with the Blood Demon God Realm, it will definitely be heavily guarded. When I led troops to war, I did not return for ten thousand years. The Magic Alliance probably gave up further exploration, but it is much easier to keep this place under surveillance."

Just like Douluo Star, it is difficult for the Federation to send out Limit Douluo, especially sending Limit Douluo to their deaths.

However, setting up defensive fortifications in places the enemy is bound to pass through, and constructing a defensive system with soul-guided weapons, would make it much easier to intercept the invasion of enemies capable of killing one's own Limit Douluo.
