Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 376 ---

[Ding! You have triggered a mission]

[Name: Protect the Douluo Planet]

[Objective: Repel the Outer God's Army and Protect the Douluo Planet from them]

[Time Limit: 2 Years]

[Reward: 13x Divine Tool's Fragments(SSS), and the Void-Shattering Mountain(SSS)]

[Failure: Douluo Planet will get destroyed and sacrificed to open the gateway to Great Origin Universe]

Yunlong looked at his system panel and laughed bitterly inside, accepting the quest with a simple click. Even without Sea God's warning, he'd still protect the Douluo Planet because this is where he was born and raised.

Not to mention Outer Gods was his enemy from the very beginning. The quest implied Yunlong had to repel them out, but he would rather wipe them from existence.

The case of Douluo Dalu-101 is enough to make Yunlong learn that Outer God is an ambitious group full of monsters.

Yunlong glanced at Sea God and asked, "Can you explain more about the Great Origin Universe?"

"Also, come here. Let me see if I can heal you."

Sea God laughed in amusement as he sat near Yunlong.

He shook his head and said, "The injuries I received aren't simple. It's more of a curse anyway."

"Asura and I needed at least seven years because our Immortal Qi is trying to nullify the curse. Also, healing me in the Soul Transmission won't be as effective as the real world."

"Unless you're a God specialized in Light Elements and Healing."

"Who knows if we didn't try?" Yunlong returned confidently.

"Oh, by the way."

"I did become a god of the similar forte."

"Hahaha, if only it's that easy..." Sea God doesn't take Yunlong's words seriously. But then he digested Yunlong's words and noticed his aura was much different than other Gods.

His blue eyes widened as he stuttered, "Y-You!"

Sea God raised his right arm and pointed his trembling index finger at Yunlong.

Yunlong chuckled and released the Divinity of Miracle a little, changing the surrounding landscape in a beautiful golden platinum glow.

Sea God's jaw dropped because this God's Seat was no lower than his Sea God's Seat!

Wait, no! This God's Seat is higher than his by one level, meaning Yunlong is Godking like Asura.

"You can't be serious... How?!"

"Well, let's just say I was somewhat lucky," Yunlong replied in a bitter melancholy. He's still grieving about Gu Xiona's death shortly after reaching the Realm of Gods.

"When you and Asura God messed with my trials due to Ice God's interference, my partners and I got sent to the Ancient Desolate Battle Arena."

"We stayed there for nine years."

Sea God's expression changed when Yunlong mentioned the Ancient Desolate Battle Arena, "That place is known as the notorious killer ground."

"And you guys survived for nine years."

"But this also helps me to skip a few things about the Great Origin Universe." He sighed in relief.

"You brat."

"You almost gave me a heart attack."

Yunlong didn't say much after that and scanned Sea God's injuries, finding a trace of Outer God's power. He has fought this power before, recently at that.

[It's the same origin as Tang Ming's Power] His system concluded.

[Primordial Curse's Source, Veromos]

[Cursed Stage: 13%]

[Recommended Treatment: White Light Grace enhanced by Host's Divinity of Miracle]

Even without Neo's recommendation, Yunlong already used his innate skill and strengthened it with his Divinity of Miracle. A beautiful white glow escapes his palm and reaches Sea God's non-existent left arm.

Sea God frowned as he felt a tingling sensation on his left shoulder, watching the lost arm regenerate.

It was slow but faster than his healing speed.

He was speechless because the curse shouldn't get lifted this easily.

He stared at Yunlong and frowned, "What kind of God are you?"

Yunlong sealed a small amount of his divinity on Sea God's lost arm and moved to the next injuries. "I'm the God of Miracle from the Thousand World Realm." He answered casually.

"The Thousand Worlds Realm? Not Douluo Divine Realm?" Sea God blinked in surprise.

After all, all the people who reached the God Level in the Douluo Planet went to the Douluo Divine Realm shortly after their ascension. It was "automatically." bound by the Universal Laws, which means they couldn't choose.

Then, again. Yunlong didn't reach God Level on the Douluo Planet.

According to Yunlong's prior experience, this brat got trapped in the alternative universe for a while.

Sea God knew the existence of the multiverse as the Great Origin Universe is the beacon connecting all of it, but he had never heard of the "Thousand World Realm." Yunlong mentioned.

Even after traveling through several galaxies and the universe with the Asura God, Sea God knew nothing about this new realm.

Yunlong watched Sea God's expression change and added, "The Thousand World Realm is a place that exists in my Martial Soul."

"It's normal that you have never heard nor know about it."

"..." Sea God.

"Can I slap you?"

"Why?" Yunlong smirked at him.

Sea God's mouth twitched and complained, "Your face is annoying."

Yunlong held his laugh and returned playfully, "Just tell me you were jealous. The Universal and Planar Law is a bitch, after all."

"They maintained order with iron fists but restricted Gods from their activities."

Sea God rolled his eyes at Yunlong's statement. But deep down, he knew the brat was right.

"Gods aren't invincible, and some literally tried to escape from their Divine Realm because of their boredom. My step-sister's mentor, Angel God, commented that you and Asura God always ran away from your duties, no?"

"Tsk, that blonde." Sea God clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Sea God didn't seem to realize that Yunlong was bluffing.

Yunlong couldn't contact the Divine Realm, more so Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, as their connection with the Angel God and Rakshasa God was "literally." limited since the Sanction of Outer God.

He laughed inside and kept talking, "Anyway, back to the main point."

"What's the Great Origin Universe?"

Sea God nodded and explained, "The Great Origin Universe or Great Douluo Universe is a field with a near-infinite layer of realms. Those dimensions overlapped, creating a pathway to every universe."

"Our Universe, Douluo Dalu-6969, is located in Sector 7 alongside Douluo Dalu-719 and Douluo Dalu-121."

"You probably have traveled to one of them."

"Each universe has a specific place, a gateway, to the Great Origin Universe. Our universe's gateway is at the Root of Scale near the Rakshasa Trial Grounds."

"Unfortunately, the Outer Gods entered our universe and racked their brains to enter the Great Origin Universe."

Yunlong pondered and questioned, "Just what Great Origin Universe hold that Outer Gods wanted so much?"

Sea God's mouth parted before closing again. He looked at Yunlong and worried about something.

"Fuck it, I'll tell you anyway."

The Sea God breathed in and continued, "There are other Origin Universes besides ours."

"And that boundary that encapsulates everything is called the Great Tang Boundary."

"The Great Tang Boundary possessed inexhaustible resources. If Outer God successfully breakthroughs our gateway. And enters the Great Origin Universe, then Great Tang Boundary. I'm afraid everything will fall into chaos."

"Truth to behold, Douluo Great Universe shouldn't exist, but an unknown influence caused the one universe to split continuously in these messy situations." Sea God clenched his right hand.

"What do you mean?" Yunlong has stabilized Sea God's injury.

Sea God raised his index finger, "In the past, there was one and only Douluo Universe. Not these multiversal collections of Great Douluo Universe."

"A light descended upon us, and boom. Everything scattered, or to be precise, sliced..."

"Reality turned upside down, the stream of fate and destiny tangled beyond recognition."

"That event is called Heaven Slaying Universe Era. History changed. Some who were "actually." destined to lose suddenly won, and some who were "literally." destined to win suddenly lost."

"People who supposedly died and have no achievement gained extraordinary luck and reached the peak of their era."

"Heroes become villains."

"And Villain took the mantle of the heroes to save the world."

"Do you know why Asura wasn't angry when you killed Tang Chen, and his grandson?" Sea God joked with a rueful tone.

Yunlong guessed it already but still uttered, "Why?"

Sea God smiled and answered, "Because there are countless of them out there."

"Even if you killed them here, nothing will change as other Tangs will live in the other universe."

"The Universal Laws are nothing, but the scattered threads of fate and destiny originally belong to the First Universe before the Heaven Slaying Universe Era."

"Sorry to pop your bubble here, Kid. But you better realize this sooner than later." Sea God said with reassurance. "Of course, only I, Asura God, and other Godkings know about this matter."

To his surprise, Yunlong suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha!"

"I see, I see."

"This is getting interesting!" A grin appeared on Yunlong's face.

"That's right. It is how it should be."

"Or it would be boring!"
