Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 21 Tang Hao: Could it be the Silver Dragon King’s doing?

A huge ball of light was suspended in the middle of the vast hall, constantly emitting the most bizarre spatial power, and the air was filled with silver light, as brilliant as the Milky Way.

Researchers in white coats can be seen walking around everywhere, surrounding the most sophisticated instruments of the era.

The surrounding walls have already activated the highest level of defense system. Even if an Extreme Douluo breaks in, he will be in trouble.

At this time, an old man walked quickly towards Qiangu Dongfeng, who had his hands clasped across his chest and a serious expression on his face.

"Tower Master, the source of the abnormality on the Spirit Ascension Platform has been identified."

Qiangu Dongfeng asked hurriedly: "Is it the headquarters or the branch?"

"It's a branch." The old man explained, holding a tablet-like soul guide instrument. "After inspection, the first city to report a problem was Tiandou City. The core formation of its spirit-raising platform was affected by an elusive force, causing a brief pause."

"Because Tiandou City is too high-level and belongs to the second-level Spirit Ascension Platform, the problems there indirectly affected the headquarters, and thus the Spirit Ascension Platforms across the continent were affected."

"Currently, the head of the Tiandou Chuanling Pagoda branch has stated that they are conducting a comprehensive inspection of the core formation of the Spirit Ascension Platform to see if it has been damaged. At the same time, they have contacted the federal government for joint patrols, striving to quickly determine whether the unknown force was the work of a spirit master."

Qiangu Dongfeng frowned.

Mingdu, Xingluo City, and Tiandou City are the three most important cities in the Federation. The former is controlled by the Phoenix Family, and the latter two are controlled by their Qiangu Family.

After this kind of thing happened, I'm afraid that those parliamentarians who have formed a clique will not be able to help but jump out again.

Qiangu Dongfeng said in a deep voice: "Have you found out the reason why the soul master cannot wake up in the Shengling Warehouse?"

The old man's expression was serious. "Since the creation of the Soul Ascension Platform, there have been cases where soul masters in the Soul Ascension Warehouse have been unable to wake up. Therefore, researchers from all generations have continuously made improvements. Today, it is no longer possible for the Soul Ascension Warehouse to become stuck."

"I suspect it was the mysterious force that attacked the Tiandou Spirit Pagoda. Strangely, from beginning to end, neither the external nor the internal defenses of the Spirit Pagoda were activated."

Hearing that the defense system was not activated, Qiangu Dongfeng's expression suddenly changed.

He seemed to have thought of something, his face changing from gloomy to bright, and he turned and walked away: "Continue to investigate."

Brain Domain Douluo Han Tianyi looked at the tower master's departing back without saying anything. As a member of parliament and director of scientific research, he was very busy at the moment.

Qiangu Dongfeng took the elevator up to the 107th floor. This was a place exclusively for the tower master, and no one could enter without his permission.

Sound insulation, mental blockade, as long as it is movable, Qiangu Dongfeng has arranged it all.

After completing these, he took out a dark blue bead with a cold expression and injected a wisp of soul power into it.

As the light inside flickered, a hoarse voice rang out after a moment: "Just when I was about to talk to you, you took the initiative to come to me."

"Ghost Emperor." Qiangu Dongfeng said straight to the point, coldly, "Did you go to Tiandou City?"

"Hehe, Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie are really fast. You all in the Spirit Pagoda know about it." Far away in another dark basement, where only the light of the whale pearl provided faint illumination, the Ghost Emperor snorted and laughed.

"Yun Ming, Chen Xinjie?" Qiangu Dongfeng was a little confused when he heard these two names.

The Ghost Emperor suddenly realized, "They weren't the ones who leaked my presence in Tiandou City?"

"No." Qiangu Dongfeng said in a serious tone.

The Ghost Emperor was suddenly confused. He had something else to do, so he explained the situation: "I did go to Tiandou City, but I only had a standoff with Yun Ming and that old man Chen Xinjie, and then I left."

"So you didn't go to the Spirit Pagoda?" Qiangu Dongfeng asked with a frown.

The Ghost Emperor immediately understood why he was looking for him and denied it, "Although I'm not a good person, I also understand that during cooperation, win-win is the most important thing. I have never been to your Spirit Pagoda."

Qiangu Dongfeng did not refute. He knew very well that the other party's goal was the same as his own. He would definitely not act recklessly before it was completed. There was no point in deceiving him.

The Ghost Emperor said sinisterly, "Compared to the so-called Spirit Pagoda in Tiandou City, I think you need to pay more attention to Yun Ming. Or rather, we all need to pay attention to him."

Qiangu Dongfeng's heart tightened. "Could it be that he made a breakthrough in his cultivation when he confronted you?"

The Ghost Emperor's voice was tinged with solemnity. "He hasn't broken through yet, but something has appeared that could allow him to do so."

"what?"

"Heavenly tribulation."

"Heavenly tribulation?" Qiangu Dongfeng's heart, still startled, suddenly calmed down. "It's just a heavenly tribulation. Once you reach the level of a Quasi-God, you can actively induce it. Yun Ming has tried so many times, but has he ever succeeded?"

The Ghost Emperor lowered his voice and said, "What if there is no suppression of this heavenly tribulation?"

The voice was like that of Ivan the Great, which caused a huge wave in the sea of ​​the Eternal East Wind spirit, and his expression froze instantly.

Qiangu Dongfeng was still at the Demigod realm of Ultimate Douluo. To attempt to ascend to godhood, he needed to reach the Quasi-God realm. He learned all about the experience of the ascension tribulation from his father, Qiangu Dieting. The Douluo tribulation clearly held some kind of insurmountable constraint, preventing anyone from transcending and ascending.

The most widely circulated theory at present is that because the divine realm has disappeared, there is no place to accept the ascenders, so no one can break through to that level.

But it was just a rumor after all, so when he heard from the Ghost Emperor that an alien heavenly calamity had appeared, he was naturally shocked.

"How I know this heavenly tribulation doesn't have any suppression? I can't tell you. Believe it or not, it's up to you." The Ghost Emperor knew how shocking this statement was, and his tone was a bit seductive:
"Speaking of which, you and I hit it off immediately. We both know why."

"The reason I went to Tiandou City was because I sensed a very special force of heavenly tribulation. I happened to run into Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie."

"Yun Ming might be afraid of me, or he might be unprepared, so he didn't rush into the heavenly tribulation. But no matter what, the incident has happened. If a few more similar heavenly tribulations occur, and Yun Ming really ascends, then our plan will be ruined."

"Your dream of having the Spirit Pagoda completely replace Shrek Academy is nothing but wishful thinking."

"You don't have to provoke me." Qiangu Dongfeng was indeed afraid of Yun Ming, but he wasn't easily provoked. "I have never changed my mind about destroying Shrek."

"Since you haven't changed, I'll make it clear." The Ghost Emperor sneered, "The main plan for Shrek Academy isn't urgent, but the side projects must be expedited. As an evil soul master, I have to do things that are consistent with my status, don't you agree?"

"Besides, if Yun Ming breaks through, the first thing he'll do is cause trouble for our Holy Spirit Church. I don't want to face a god-level opponent."

"Besides, Master of the Ancient Pagoda, you don't want the world to know that you're involved with an evil soul master, right?"

"What do you want to do?" Qiangu Dongfeng's pupils shrank and his tone was cold.

"Simple," the Ghost Emperor said indifferently. "Just like how Shrek Academy and that damned Tang Sect targeted us evil spirit masters, I will target and eliminate those Shrek Academy students. During this time, you will be responsible for preventing the Federation from interfering. Given your relationship with the Sun-Moon Federation's top brass, this shouldn't be difficult."

"can."

Qiangu Dongfeng pretended to be serious, but in fact there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

The Ghost Emperor only knew that he wanted to destroy Shrek Academy, but he never knew that his ambition went beyond that.

Simply destroying Shrek Academy is not enough to make him show such goodwill to the federal officials, or even give up many interests, causing dissatisfaction among the forces within the Spirit Pagoda.

Since you are so willing to be this knife, I will help you.

"Very good." The Ghost Emperor smiled with satisfaction.

"Don't laugh yet." Qiangu Dongfeng interrupted him, "There is something I need to inform you."

The Ghost Emperor was already looking forward to Yun Ming seeing his students die miserably. He was in a good mood and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qiangu Dongfeng said calmly, "The Dark Hummingbirds of your Holy Spirit Church recently caused chaos in Shrek City, causing fear among the civilians. Shrek Academy has decided to cooperate with the Federation to appease public sentiment. We at the Spirit Pagoda can't ignore public opinion. Even if it's just for show, we have to get involved. So, an internal meeting will be held soon to discuss this matter. I think within the next six months or even a few years, there will be strict investigations across the continent. If you show up now, I can't help you."

The smile in the Ghost Emperor's eyes faded.

Qiangu Dongfeng added: "I will inform you about the matter after the rumors die down."

Suddenly, the bead in his hand dimmed. Qiangu Dongfeng put it into his soul storage device and looked toward the wall.

There is a painting hanging there.

Inside is a magnificent palace building.

There are several inscriptions in the corners of the painting.

【Martial Soul Empire】

The Spirit Hall can create an empire, so why can't he?
Jingle Bell!
Suddenly, a quick call bell rang.

Qiangu Dongfeng took a deep breath and said, "Speak."

"Tower Master, all the council members are here." A respectful female voice came.

"I know, I'll come right away."

...

"Mingdu Television reports. After discussions in the Federal Parliament, a preliminary blueprint for humanity's space travel has been developed. According to the Federal Parliament Speaker..."

The light of a television flickered in the dim, airless room. Clear voices echoed continuously. A short-haired, neatly dressed announcer presented the daily news to the audience with a serious demeanor.

On the sofa, a handsome, even beautiful, young man stared intently at the television. His long, smooth black hair flowed down his back. But in contrast, his face was pale, giving him a particularly eerie look.

"You keep calling me, what's the matter?"

Suddenly, a low, intimidating voice froze the entire room.

Halosa's icy face regained a touch of life, and the room instantly brightened up. He spoke with a slightly respectful tone, "I want to ask you something."

"Speak." The low voice seemed to be suppressing something and was a little unstable.

Halosa said, "In return for your help, I have been doing my utmost to fulfill your instructions, wreaking havoc across the world. Then one day, you told me to temporarily cease my actions, so I remained silent for a hundred years, seeking the path to godhood."

"But you said that because the divine realm no longer exists and the abyss has invaded, the laws of the plane have become uncontrollable, so no one can take the two normal paths to godhood."

"Then you instructed me to join the Holy Spirit Church, saying it held a special path to godhood. I trusted you, so I joined until now. However, after so many years, I still haven't seen any hope. Instead, a few days ago, I saw an opportunity to achieve godhood."

"Opportunity?" The low voice suddenly became heavier, as if attracted by the news.

Halosa said in a deep voice, "When the God Realm existed, mortals could ascend to godhood by either inheriting the godhood or by surviving the heavenly tribulation to achieve self-cultivation. Now that the God Realm is gone, the inheritance of the godhood has been cut off. As for self-cultivation, due to the loss of the God Realm and the suppression of the abyss, the laws of the plane have gone out of control. From then on, no one could achieve self-cultivation through the heavenly tribulation."

"But just two days ago, I sensed a unique force of heavenly tribulation, and there was no feedback of suppression. If I hadn't sensed that the power within had the power to kill me, I would have already entered it."

"May I ask you, is the path to godhood really as you say, with only joining the Holy Spirit Church as the only path?"

Halosa expressed his doubts.

However, the existence that was secretly communicating with him fell into silence.

At the same time, a pair of eyes woke up from the chaotic space.

Tang Hao, who was still refining and suppressing the plane spirit, had a strong killing intent in his eyes. "Special power of heavenly tribulation?"

Looking at the ball of light below the Clear Sky Hammer, which had been compressed to less than one-third of its peak size, Tang Hao suddenly realized, "No wonder you were willing to forcibly tear open some spatial nodes even at the cost of being severely injured by me."

As the main plane, Douluo Star will naturally attract some small worlds. If the space nodes are stable, the two sides will not invade each other. However, once there is a problem with the space nodes, the small worlds will cling to it, just like magnets, which are extremely difficult to remove.

If too many small worlds appear, it will inevitably lead to gaps in Douluo Star itself, causing the laws of the universe to leak in through the small worlds.

The laws of the universe are inherently stronger than local laws, but if they are not used for a long time, they will slowly assimilate and become nutrients that nourish the plane. However, before the laws of the universe are assimilated, if someone wants to transcend the tribulation and ascend, the heavenly tribulation they will encounter will be based primarily on the laws of the universe.

For Tang Hao, he guessed that the spirit of the plane wanted to use such means to forcibly give birth to a god and catch him off guard.

"If it weren't for this Halosa who took the initiative to wake me up, I'm afraid I would still be in the dark. If someone truly becomes a god, they will definitely not be able to escape the perception of the Abyss Saint Lord. Whether he retreats out of fear or attacks with all his might, Xiao San's thousand-year plan will be destroyed in an instant."

Thinking he had figured everything out, Tang Hao couldn't help but sneer: "Working so hard will only speed up your path to death."

After a pause, Tang Hao's gaze passed through space and fell on Halosa, who he had taken from the plane consciousness: "The power of the heavenly tribulation you sensed can indeed be used by people to concentrate on their own spiritual realm."

Halosa's face remained calm, as if he knew that the plane spirit that had helped him since childhood would respond.

Sure enough, when he heard the reply, his eyes lit up, but before he could open his mouth, Tang Hao spoke, like a basin of cold water, severely extinguishing his desire to become a god.

"However, the origin of the laws contained in this power of heavenly tribulation does not belong to the Douluo plane, but rather to some small worlds clinging to the Douluo plane. They are inherently incomplete forces. If you try to use them to condense the divine position, there will only be one result, and that is the shattering of the divine position and the destruction of the divine soul."

Halosa's eyes trembled and his face darkened.

He trusted the spirit of the plane very much and did not question it.

"I know you're eager to become a god," Tang Hao said, as usual, trying to coax him. "But the Blood River God-Slaying Formation is your only chance to become a god. Don't worry, that day won't be far away."

"As ordered."

Halosa's heaving chest gradually calmed down.

In the chaotic space.

After successfully deceiving Halosa, Tang Hao's face turned cold. He had already mastered 80% of the origin of the plane, and his spiritual sense immediately penetrated the space and swept across the entire Douluo Star.

Feeling the feedback provided by his spiritual sense, Tang Hao's face gradually revealed a hint of surprise.

He did not feel the existence of any cosmic laws at all. Even the number of small worlds was about the same as usual, which was not enough to create a gap.

Where did the special calamity that Halosa mentioned come from?
"Could it be the Silver Dragon King?" Tang Hao tried to think, thinking to himself, "If it's her, then using special means to block my perception and introduce the laws of the universe is not impossible."

"Could it be that she noticed something strange about the Douluo plane?"

“But I was in a crucial moment and it was difficult to make a move.”

Tang Hao looked solemn as he looked down at the spiritual light ball of the plane below the Clear Sky Hammer, and an idea emerged in his mind.

Traveling across the Douluo Continent, Chen Ming relied on his soul martial spirit to reincarnate from generation to generation and accumulate foundation.

In the first life, he was defined as an evil soul master by Shrek because of his martial soul. He was hunted down many times, his foundation was greatly damaged, his title was stopped, and he had no hope of becoming a god. He delved into the mysteries of the soul and reincarnated to cultivate again.

In the second life, his soul was severely damaged, but he succeeded in reincarnation and awakened the martial soul tombstone. Relying on his understanding of the martial soul, he evolved the martial soul into a soul-calming monument. However, due to the injury to his soul, he stopped at the Soul Saint level.

In the third life, the Wuhun Coffin evolved into the Soul-Nourishing Coffin, which could repair soul injuries. However, its lifespan was limited, and it stopped at the Soul Douluo level.

Fourth life, martial spirit blue silver grass.

In the eighth life, he became a god with great force, stepped into the realm of gods, and detonated the throne of the God of Time with the Gate of Reincarnation, causing chaos in the realm of gods.

The Ninth Generation——

"This time, I succeeded!"

"My success is entirely due to my own hard work!"

"I am the God King of Reincarnation. Tang San, die!"

Note: Not joining Shrek, opposing Tang San, not following the Sun and Moon, and having five countries competing for hegemony is reasonable, right?
