Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 405 Extra: On the Eve of Farewell

In the universe, in some unknown void

Yun Ming sat cross-legged in the cosmic space, devouring the surrounding energy like a black hole. With each breath, the light around Yun Ming flickered, and the light of the cosmic void changed in sync, as if Yun Ming had become the core of the universe.

After breaking through to the god level, the energy of Douluo Star could no longer sustain Yun Ming's cultivation. Although the power of faith was of decent quality, it was scarce and relatively weak. Therefore, the void of the universe naturally became the main training ground for Yun Ming's cultivation.

As the last wisp of cosmic energy in the surrounding space was swallowed by the Sky-Supporting Realm, and the surroundings were plunged into complete darkness, Yun Ming opened his eyes. Yun Ming raised his hand, looked at his palm, and gazed at the colorless energy that was constantly intertwined with his flesh and blood body, seemingly lost in thought.

This is the karma that the creator spoke of, something that even gods dare not touch.

At first, it was just an invisible and imperceptible aura. Yun Ming did not even notice its existence when he first became a god. It was not until a few years ago, when Young Master Yun was born, that this aura grew rapidly and gradually became visible, and Yun Ming discovered its existence.

Yun Ming had some guesses about why it came and where it came from; it was simply a problem caused by his time travel. However, he still had no idea exactly where the problem occurred.

Looks like we really need to speed things up.

Yun Ming clenched his fist, thinking this to himself. After a flash of silver light, Yun Ming disappeared and reappeared above Douluo Star.

Looking down at the azure home planet, Yun Ming formed a Dao finger with his right hand, and his divine power surged throughout his body.

"It's time to end the ancient feud."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Ming raised his hand and pointed out a dazzling golden light that pierced through the sky and landed directly on Douluo Star.

Most people in Douluo Continent who saw the endless golden light descending from the sky only felt that the sun was bigger that day. However, powerful figures like Di Tian and Xie Di, who were close to the pinnacle of human strength, felt that the world was undergoing a dramatic change.

Deep within the stars, Di Tian raised his head to look at the sky, trying to see what lay behind the golden light and what had happened. But he could see nothing. Only the gradually dissipating aura of heavenly punishment above his head told him that his perception was correct; the rules of heaven and earth seemed to have truly changed.

"Emperor—Heaven—"

Just as Di Tian was wondering, a clear, cold, and dignified female voice entered his mind through the mental link. Upon hearing it, Di Tian immediately bowed in response towards the direction of Tian Dou City.

"My lord!"

It was Gu Yuena's telepathic message that had arrived earlier.

"Go with the flow without hesitation."

Di Tian was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but feeling the increasingly surging dark dragon power within his body, he seemed to understand something. However, his mind was shaken, and he asked Gu Yuena in a slightly trembling voice.

"My lord, you mean..."

Gu Yuena: "Yes, the rules of heaven have changed, and the Douluo Continent is about to usher in the era of gods!"

"The Age of Gods?"

Di Tian was somewhat unfamiliar with this term, but the subsequent changes in the weather revealed its origin to him.

In Martial Soul City, holy light reached the heavens, and a colossal angelic phantom descended upon the world. Under its holy radiance, all diseases vanished, and evil retreated. In the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, sword energy surged forth, and a heaven-reaching divine sword stood suspended in mid-air. The martial souls of all sword martial soul possessors appeared on their own, bowing to the direction of the Heavenly Battle Clan. Two terrifying black spears hovered in the air, their sharp aura unmatched in the world. Even the sky seemed to have been pierced with two huge holes. In the far north, ice and snow destroyed the world, and the sun, moon, and evil eyes shone in the sky.

Some people achieve success naturally due to their cultivation level, while others are blessed with good fortune and rise to prominence. But their destination is the same: the ultimate realm on earth.

"Go, you should become a god."

With those final words, Gu Yuena severed the mental connection.

Upon hearing this, Di Tian did not hesitate any longer. He transformed into a true dragon and soared into the sky. On that day, the Starry Sky Forest was filled with the shadow of the dragon.

This day was later known as the "Day of Divine Transformation." While no one claimed responsibility for the cause, the identity of the one who ascended to godhood that day clearly revealed who was behind it. The leaders of various factions, unaware of the Empire's reasons for concealing the truth, were grateful for Yun Ming's paving the way and voluntarily left behind secret teachings within their ranks. From then on, Yun Ming, known as the Heavenly Sovereign, became famous throughout history!

Time flies, and twenty years have passed since the day of the divine transformation.

Over the past twenty years, Douluo Star has undergone many changes.

Regarding the path of cultivation, Yun Ming forcibly rewrote the rules. Soul Masters no longer needed Soul Rings, and Soul Beasts no longer generated Soul Rings or Soul Bones. They also regained the possibility of becoming gods. Although the Soul Beast race is full of treasures and has been developed for other uses, such as dining and pharmacies, things are undoubtedly much better now compared to the absolute antagonism between humans and Soul Beasts in the past.

As for the situation on the mainland, the Spirit Empire reigned supreme, relying on its strongest military force, and no one dared to start another war. The residents of Douluo Continent enjoyed a very peaceful twenty years.

Regarding the development of the mainland, ten years ago, the Holy Pope Ya Li abdicated, and Hu Liena took over. Following the millennium development plan jointly devised by Yun Ming and Ya Li, it was implemented step by step. Significant achievements were made in the economy, agriculture, soul tool industry, diversification of soul master development, and many other areas. Soul masters began to enter various professions, many no longer focusing on combat, and soul tools began to enter the lives of ordinary people. Many things we see today were completely unheard of twenty years ago; it was a truly earth-shattering change.

Regarding talent on the mainland, the empire's vigorous promotion of education has naturally led to a surge in talented individuals. While the development of soul tools is relatively recent, and we won't discuss the top experts for now, the field of soul masters is dazzling with talent.

Ning Yaoyao, the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, possesses the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as her martial soul. She became a Soul King at sixteen and a Soul Saint at twenty-two, making her the fastest-growing support-type Soul Master in the world, even faster than her parents at the same age (in this life, she didn't use any cheat codes). Yu Tianqi of the Blue Dot Tyrant Dragon Clan, with the Hell Thunder Dragon martial soul, single-handedly challenged all the beast martial soul sects in Heaven Dou City, never suffering a defeat among those of the same level, upholding his family's reputation as the number one beast martial soul in the world. Other notable figures include Xu Youjiu of the Starlight Xu family, Wang Teng of the Panlong King family of the Spirit Hall, and Hu Yanzhan of the Lower Four Sects, among others. However, the most dazzling figure in the past twenty years has been Yun Li, the contemporary leader of the Breaking Clan.

That year, in the Continental Elite Tournament, Yun Li single-handedly crushed the Spirit Hall Academy team with his spear, leading Shrek Academy to the top. His fame spread throughout the continent when he was thirteen years old and at level fifty-nine. From then on, there was no stopping him. At fifteen, he killed a Fallen Soul Douluo; at seventeen, he challenged a titled elder of the Spirit Hall, a process that was swift and decisive; at eighteen, he advanced to the titled Douluo level; at twenty-one, he reached the Super Douluo realm; and this year, at twenty-six, he has just reached his limit.

This speed would be incredibly fast for others, almost outrageously so, but for Yun Li it was somewhat slow. However, this was understandable, given that Yun Ming had sealed away twenty levels of his innate soul power. It's important to understand that this innate soul power wasn't just simple soul power; it represented a large portion of Yun Li's talent.

"Are you really not going to reconsider?"

"I'm not considering it."

"."

"I understand. Are you ready?"

It was Yun Ming who spoke. Twenty years had passed, and he was still the same as before; time had not brought him any changes.

"Ready!"

"Come on, Dad!"

Yun Li was the one who spoke. Twenty years had passed and the little kid from back then had grown up. He now looked about 70% like Yun Ming, except that he had a softer appearance.

"good!"

Yun Ming nodded, pointed a finger at Yun Li's head, and endless light patterns spread out from between his eyebrows, quickly enveloping Yun Li's entire body.

"Hmph~"

Feeling the power draining from his body, Yun Li involuntarily groaned. Fortunately, it was a short time, and all his power was quickly sealed by Yun Ming, returning him to level ten soul power.

Having finished his task, Yun Ming stopped practicing. He glanced at his son, whose face was pale from exhaustion, and gave him some instructions.

"Your power of annihilation has been completely sealed. After that, rebuild your power of creation. Remember to proceed cautiously and steadily."

Whether you can unify your power afterward depends on your own accumulation of strength.

Yun Li let out a long breath, straightened his back, and smiled.

"I know, Dad. I will succeed."

Looking at him, Yunming felt a pang of emotion; he had really grown up.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Originally, Yun Ming's planned cultivation path for Yun Li was to cultivate both simultaneously, with Yun Ming then assisting in the fusion of their powers. This was the fastest and most reliable method Yun Ming deduced. However, unexpectedly, Yun Li refused. When Yun Ming asked him why, he explained that by completely following Yun Ming's predetermined path, he wouldn't be able to surpass Yun Ming. Therefore, Yun Li conceived a method of "first cultivating Extinction, then Creation, reaching the limit of comprehension, and finally fusing the powers through intuitive understanding."

Upon first hearing this method, Yun Ming was shocked. This method was definitely more difficult, much more difficult, but the rewards would also be much greater. Yun Ming originally did not want to agree, as it was too dangerous, but seeing Yun Li's resolute eyes, he understood, so he gave up the idea of ​​persuading him.

Who can stop a Soul Master from pursuing their own path of cultivation? No one can! Yun Li is like that, and so is Yun Ming himself.

"Uncle Yun, are you done?"

Just as Yunming was lamenting the fleeting nature of time, a woman walked in from outside.

The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, with delicate features and an elegant and noble demeanor. Her pale yellow dress perfectly accentuated her figure, making her look stunning.

Upon hearing the woman's voice, Yun Li, who had been standing straight, bent over again, his face turned even paler, and he appeared frail and delicate.

Yun Ming glanced at his son, who had started acting, and felt somewhat speechless. He then smiled at the woman.

"alright."

"From now on, I'll have to trouble Yao Yao to take good care of this boy."

This woman is Ning Yaoyao. They've known each other since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and Yun Li is so outstanding, it's no surprise they ended up together. Although they're not married yet, it feels like it'll be soon.

Ning Yaoyao, upon hearing Yun Ming's request, did not flinch. She walked to Yun Li's side, supported him, and gave Yun Ming a sweet smile.

"Don't worry, Uncle Yun! I'll take good care of him."

"Yaoyao, you're so kind," Yunli said at the right moment.

Yun Ming glanced at the two acting, feeling helpless, and waved his hand.

"Alright, you can go now!"

The two bowed and took their leave, but just before leaving, Yun Li received a telepathic message from his father.

"Now that you've lost your cultivation, you'd better behave yourself, or you'll get a beating!"

Yun Li paused upon hearing the sound, but didn't react much, and followed Ning Yaoyao away.

Yun Ming watched the two figures disappear into the distance and let out a long sigh.

"What a misfortune for our family!"

As an adult, Young Master Yun lived up to his feat of starting to date at the age of three, becoming a veritable "Sea God," leaving a trail of romances across the continent. Ya Li alone had met at least five. After a few years of trying, the couple realized it was pointless and gave up. Tired, whatever! They admitted that their efforts had backfired!

That's precisely why the two haven't gotten married. Otherwise, given the relationship between the Yun and Ning families, and considering they're both in their late twenties, how could they still be single!

Without further thought, Yun Ming flashed to the back mountain, to Ya Li's side. After stepping down from the papacy, Ya Li seemed to have returned to her former self—intellectual, tolerant, gentle, and beautiful, just like when the two first met.

Seeing her husband arrive, Yali said gently.

"Has Li'er taken care of it?"

Yun Ming nodded.

"Alright, he and Yao Yao have left."

Yali: "So, you're leaving too, right?"

When Yun Ming saw that Ya Li knew, he was taken aback. He hadn't told her. But then he thought that Ya Li was the person in the world who knew him best, so he wasn't surprised and admitted it.

"Yes, it's time."
