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

Chapter 553 An Unfamiliar Dimension (Please Subscribe!!! 4,000 words)

Good news: My father was indeed a time traveler.

Bad news: It's not what I expected.

Having transmigrated here, Xu Yuan naturally knew the significance of the various research results he had obtained from Xu Zhi.

He had always wondered about his father's identity.

Among them is the speculation that Xu Zhi was also a time traveler, and this speculation accounts for the majority of the opinions.

It wasn't until he went to the Heavenly Dou Continent and received his father's last message that he stopped thinking that way.

Unexpectedly, I learned from Little Phoenix today that my father was indeed a time traveler.

However, he was not a transmigrator from another world who traveled to Douluo Continent; rather, his soul traveled from Douluo Continent to another dimension after his death.

"Do you know where my father is?"

Little Phoenix looked at Xu Yuan's serious expression and kept her mouth shut.

"Destruction and the origin of life belong to you, but you must take me to find my father's reincarnation," Xu Yuan said.

The little phoenix hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Your father's talent is still outrageous, but he is not suited for the path of a Soul Master, so I chose a plane with a cultivation system that suits him."

Xu Yuan understood.

In that case, he should thank this little phoenix.

The father's ability to be reincarnated was clearly due to this little phoenix.

"What dimension did you send him to?"

Xu Yuan couldn't resist his curiosity and asked a question.

The little phoenix glanced at Xu Yuan, made no attempt to hide anything, and said, "A world called...Spirit Furnace Continent?"

Xu Yuan frowned, slightly displeased.

"Aren't you even sure about that world yourself?"

"As you know, I have been dead for far too long. Although my consciousness has endured, it is trapped in the divine position and can no longer roam the universe. The plane your father went to was a world I traveled through in my previous life. That world has a very high limit, so I sent him there."

"But you have no way to confirm the information about that dimension?" Xu Yuan questioned.

The little phoenix chuckled sheepishly and said, "Like I said, I've been dead for so long, I don't know much about the development of that plane."

"But don't worry." She patted her chest and assured him, "Although I couldn't personally investigate when I sent him there, the fluctuations there indicate that a demigod still exists and hasn't declined."

Xu Yuan frowned.

He pondered the name of the Spirit Furnace Continent, but couldn't find any related memories.

It doesn't seem to be any dimension I know of.

But it felt somewhat familiar.

Seeing that Xu Yuan was still frowning, the little phoenix was also very helpless and further explained, "I can't help it either. I happened to have left some mediums on the Spirit Furnace Continent back then, which is why I sent him there, but I can't go there myself."

"Once the matter of the celestial anomaly is resolved, I need you to take me there."

"No problem, I know the coordinates over there." Little Phoenix patted his chest again.

"Let's go, let's retrieve those two sources first."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan continued to teleport, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at Devil's Island.

Devil Island hasn't changed much, except that a few old devils are gone.

Xu Yuan entered the valley where the two origins intertwined and fell, as if entering an empty place.

"As expected of two divine positions that naturally evolved in the Douluo God Realm, their degree of integration is even deeper than I imagined."

The little phoenix stepped forward, sensing the origin of the intertwined purple-black and green hues, and was quite pleasantly surprised.

"Are you able to control these two fundamental sources now?"

Xu Yuan also stepped forward and asked in confusion.

"That won't do. My mental strength is still at the Divine Origin Realm, but my physical strength isn't high. However, it's not a big problem. With such abundant destructive and life force, my body won't grow too slowly."

The little phoenix took a deep breath, and immediately a large amount of destructive and life force surged into her body.

Xu Yuan watched from the side, amazed that this small body contained such a massive amount of energy.

"Hehe, I've been suppressing this body since I hatched, and now I can finally eat my fill." The little phoenix looked satisfied.

"If you've eaten your fill, I'll put away the two origins for now. I'll store them in my little world so you can cultivate there. When you're able to fuse these two origins, I'll give them back to you."

"I'll reluctantly believe you're a good person." The little phoenix flapped its wings, allowing Xu Yuan to move.

Xu Yuan moved the little phoenix aside and stood in front of the two sources of origin.

Above their heads, a landscape scroll unfolds.

A small world reflected from within, completely enveloping the entire Devil's Island.

In an instant, the entire Devil's Island vanished.

Suddenly, a small island disappeared, and the surrounding seawater flooded in, causing tremendous changes.

However, this change is so subtle for the entire ocean.

"Tsk, your scroll world has also advanced."

The little phoenix stared at the landscape scroll with a look of surprise.

She flew onto Xu Yuan's shoulder, her eyes darting around.

"Does this scroll world have any other use?"

Xu Yuan glanced at the little phoenix on his shoulder.

"What? You want it?"

"No, that's not it. This is the foundation of your soul. How could I take what belongs to someone else?" the little phoenix said. "I just think that if the form of this scroll world isn't very important to you, you could consider developing this small world into a divine realm."

Xu Yuan frowned.

"Didn't you say you wanted me to create a divine realm in the void dimension?"

"That's a way to create a divine realm, not the only source of a divine realm. Besides creating one yourself, there's also the option of developing a plane into a divine realm," the little phoenix said. "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but creating a divine realm is the fastest way for you. Although you cultivate the mindless Soul Master style, you follow the comprehension style, which gives you the ability to create a divine realm by taking shortcuts before you possess the power of a God King."

"The reason I'm mentioning the method of developing a plane into a god realm to you now is because I see that your scroll world has enormous potential. This small world has already become a plane, but it hasn't started to nurture life yet. It's a completely new plane. If it continues to nurture, the consumption required to evolve directly into a god realm will be far lower than the consumption required for a normal plane to advance to a god realm."

"Oh?" Xu Yuan asked, "What are the conditions for a plane to ascend to the God Realm?"

"Independence, the catalyst for destruction."

Xu Yuan looked puzzled.

Little Phoenix knew she would have to explain further.

"Even if you achieve a god-level plane, do not expand into the universe, but continue to grow based on your original body."

"As for the trigger for destruction that I mentioned, it means exactly what it says: the entire plane will be destroyed at a level closest to the divine realm, transforming from a material form into an ideology based on mental power, and stabilizing itself in the void dimension."

Xu Yuan frowned, feeling that what Little Phoenix was saying was too abstract.

"It feels like this is even more troublesome than opening up new realms, right? In fact, most of the divine realms are advanced from planes," said the little phoenix.

"You yourself said that I'm suited to the path of pioneering, so why do you want me to develop the scroll world into a divine realm?"

The little phoenix chuckled sheepishly and said, "This is what I need myself. I'm trying to reintegrate my previous divine position, so I definitely need help. If you open up a divine realm on your own, the number of divine positions you can have in a short time is limited. So I was thinking of having another divine realm, so that there would be at least two God-Kings, plus myself. In addition, once the divine positions in a divine realm are full, each of us can exert God-King level power through the central hub of the divine realm. That's the power of five God-Kings, which is also more secure."

She didn't pay any attention to Xu Yuan.

The reason is simple: Xu Yuan has grown up too fast, so fast that she might not even have a chance to change her story before she misses the opportunity.

So I simply don't lie.

"Let's go, the teacher doesn't know what's going on."

As Xu Yuan spoke, he began to teleport again.

His control over space has now reached an unbelievable level.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared above the Endless Mountains.

"Three years have passed, and the atmosphere in the Endless Mountains is still so heavy?" Xu Yuan realized that the development here might not be going very smoothly.

Upon landing in the Blood God Legion's camp, Xu Yuan sensed the tense atmosphere.

He teleported to the command center, found Zhang Huanyun, and immediately asked, "Tell me about the situation in the Underworld over the past three years."

Zhang Huanyun was so surprised to see Xu Yuan that she thought she was seeing a ghost.

Xu Yuan's sudden return after disappearing for three years surprised and delighted him.

"You're finally back! Where have you been for the past three years?"

Zhang Huanyun looked Xu Yuan up and down, feeling that Xu Yuan was so unfathomable at this moment. The fluctuation of his soul power was exactly the same as the soul power of Yun Ming when he fought, which he remembered.

"You... broke through?"

He was overjoyed.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Xu Yuan nodded.

"Tell me about the current situation first."

"The situation?" Zhang Huanyun smiled bitterly, looking at Xu Yuan with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He originally wanted to complain about Xu Yuan, but if Xu Yuan left for the purpose of breaking through, what could he say?

Even though Yun Ming opened up the underworld and pioneered the path of Soul Masters, no one has broken through to the next level after all these years.

No, now there's a second one, and that's Xu Yuan.

"After you left, although the legion had the Heavenly Forging Metal you had stored up, it still couldn't meet the needs of all the Limit Douluos."

It's not that there aren't enough quantities, but rather a lack of variety.

Xu Yuan had anticipated this.

"Elder Feng and my martial uncle Zhenhua should both be able to perform Heavenly Forging."

"But their forging capabilities can't keep up with the demand at all," Zhang Huanyun sighed.

Not everyone can do it several times a day like Xu Yuan.

"So, the forging department is completely paralyzed right now?"

"No, that's not it. Tang Wulin announced his advancement to the Divine Craftsman level a year ago, which helped him complete the backlog of tasks in the Forging Department."

"Oh?" Xu Yuan felt something was off when he heard Tang Wulin's name.

a year ago?

Xu Yuan remembered that before he left, Tang Wulin should already have enough ability to try Heaven Forging.

With Tang Wulin's forging talent, does it really need to take him two years to break through?

Even without Zhenhua's guidance, Tang Wulin has never lacked forging education. He has the wholehearted teaching of the eighth-level Saint Craftsman Mu Chen, as well as the inheritance of Feng Wuyu. In theory, he has no shortage of opportunities to come into contact with Heavenly Forging.

Did he hide it from the public for the two years in between?

It's highly unlikely.

Xu Yuan was more inclined to guess that the guy had been delayed by something else.

"What level is he at now?"

Zhang Huanyun said, "He's now being called the second Xu Yuan. He's already broken through level ninety-nine, and his blood and qi power is equally formidable."

Xu Yuan was speechless.

The second Xu Yuan?

I wonder if Old Tang's divine sense will be so angry it'll twist out of shape.

However, in just three years, Tang Wulin had already reached level ninety-nine.

"How many spirit rings does he have now?"

"It seems to be seven. Some time ago, he was besieged by the three great god emperors of the abyss, which must have unleashed his potential and given him his seventh bloodline soul ring."

Seven spirit rings, that makes fourteen seals.

It's hard to say about their corresponding strength.

Although the Golden Dragon King's seal has one seal corresponding to each level, the leap to the ninth level is quite significant.

Xu Yuan didn't remember what level of strength each of the fourteen seals corresponded to.

However, Tang Wulin is already a Limit Douluo, and he still needs to condense his seventh Qi and Blood Soul Ring to deal with the crisis. The blessing he receives from the Golden Dragon King's bloodline should not be weaker than that of a Limit Douluo.

Whether one can reach the level of a god, and if so, which realm of godhood, is unclear.

After inquiring about the situation in the Underworld, Xu Yuan learned from Zhang Huanyun that Xue Er had broken through to the Limit Douluo level, while the Abyss side had suffered heavy losses and its overall energy intensity had weakened to the naked eye. However, seven of the top ten emperors now possessed divine power.

In Zhang Huanyun's previous titles, the God Emperor was an emperor who possessed divine power.

The Abyss lost a great deal of energy, but in return gained five God Emperors?

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes, wondering what the Abyss Saint Lord meant.

This kind of deal is actually not worthwhile.

Is it merely to have more capable subordinates in the war in the underworld?

Xu Yuan shook his head.

That shouldn't be the case.

The Abyss Saint King, possessing a supreme artifact, should be confident that, in the final stage, his personal martial prowess would be far superior to that of the five God Emperors.

Having learned the general information, Xu Yuan obtained authorization from Zhang Huanyun and entered the Underworld.

Upon returning to the Underworld, Xu Yuan sensed a fluctuation.

Seemingly confirming his identity, a mental transmission quickly entered his mind.

"Xiao Yuan, you're finally back."

"Teacher," Xu Yuan called out to the air.

He followed the guidance in his mind and arrived at a valley.

At the mouth of the valley, a figure gradually materialized.

Dressed in an elegant long robe, he didn't look like a powerful offensive Soul Master who used a spear as his martial spirit at all.

Yun Ming's gaze swept over Xu Yuan, revealing a look of surprise and doubt.

"What's wrong with you?"

Is this a breakthrough to godhood?

That's not right.

Something's very wrong!

"Teacher, I accidentally broke through a bit too much," Xu Yuan said with a smile.

Yun Ming raised an eyebrow.

Xu Yuan's words undoubtedly strengthened his judgment.

But this judgment...

Yun Ming gave a bitter smile.

"I had high expectations for you and tried my best to imagine how much you would improve over the years, but I never imagined that you could reach the god-like level in just three years."

"It was a coincidence." Xu Yuan's expression was also complicated.

He hadn't expected to gain so much from this trip to the Sacred Heart Plane.

In fact, the level of a true god was the height that he and Yun Ming had estimated.

This is determined by his inherent strength; as long as he integrates his essence, energy, and spirit to break through and become a god, he can directly reach the level of a true god.

However, Xu Yuan did not expect that after walking under the Tree of Life, he would advance another level in all aspects in just one month.

Yun Ming smiled with satisfaction for a while, then his smile faded and his expression became very serious.

"Now that you've broken through to the God-level, I won't hide it from you anymore. I might have to ask you to help me share some of the pressure from now on."
