Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

No, as the green-golden light flickered, portions of green light merged into the bodies of the seated elders.

"This light is full of vitality, it has increased my lifespan by at least ten years!" Long Yeyue closed his eyes to sense it, then opened them, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

Is this his fifth soul skill?

Extending life?

Tang Wulin scratched his head and said, "This should be the power of the Golden Ancient Tree that I haven't fully digested yet. It dissipated as I released my soul skill. I didn't feel the real effect of my soul skill either."

Long Yeyue nodded understandingly.

So that's how it is.

This is the power of the Golden Ancient Tree.

"Your soul skill…" Yun Ming frowned, looking at Tang Wulin, his eyes full of doubt.

"Seems like my soul power isn't enough?" Tang Wulin guessed.

Yun Ming nodded, stepped forward, placed his hand on Tang Wulin's back, and circulated the Xuan Tian Gong, a surge of thick soul power pouring into Tang Wulin's body.

"Activate your fifth soul skill again!"

While the experiment on Tang Wulin's fifth soul skill was being conducted next door, Xu Yuan was immersed in comprehension, unable to extricate himself.

Even the violent movements caused by Tang Wulin could not disturb him.

At this moment, Xu Yuan was wandering in an ocean of spirituality.

Here, his will was unprecedentedly condensed.

"This is, the space of the Golden Ancient Tree?"

Xu Yuan had entered here before.

Now, entering here again, he felt the uniqueness of this space.

Last time, his main energy was focused on Tree Elder, and he ignored the peculiarity of this space.

An old figure condensed.

Compared to the last time, Xu Yuan found that Tree Elder was even older this time. Clearly, the aura was full of vitality, but it gave people a feeling of twilight.

"Child, your growth is very outstanding. Achieving such accomplishments completely on your own has surpassed all soul masters in history."

A trace of gratification flashed in Tree Elder's eyes.

"However, it's still not enough. Your advantage over the other one is getting smaller and smaller."

Tree Elder didn't give Xu Yuan too much chance to speak, narrating to himself.

"Child, try your best one more time. This is the last help I can give you. Ten years, achieve True God within ten years."

Xu Yuan was at a loss.

What was Tree Elder talking about?

Achieve godhood within ten years?

Without any godhood inheritance, how could he become a god?

Although Xu Yuan knew that he could break through to the god level without godhood, the limitations of the Douluo plane had already destined that he could not break through to the god level.

The path of a soul master had reached its limit at level ninety-nine. To go further, one could either bypass the soul power cultivation system with the help of godhood, directly cultivate divine power, and take the path of a god.

Or, one could only help the Douluo plane break through.

While complaining in his heart, Xu Yuan gradually understood what Tree Elder was saying.

"Are you saying, let me break through to the god level, break the limit of level ninety-nine for soul masters, and thereby drive the evolution of the entire plane?" Xu Yuan asked cautiously.

Tree Elder nodded, very gratified.

"Correct."

"Otherwise, I can only compromise…"

After saying that, he dissipated.

Xu Yuan was alone in this vast white space, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.

His eyes gradually gained a trace of brilliance.

He was understanding and digesting Tree Elder's meaning.

It might be difficult for any soul master to understand what Tree Elder said, but Xu Yuan knew the truth, so he could silently speculate in his heart, gradually reasoning out Tree Elder's meaning.

"Tree Elder is the core of the plane. He said he would compromise, which should mean following Tang Hao and A Yin's plan, helping the two completely control the Douluo plane, and then devouring the abyss, thereby sublimating the entire Douluo plane."

"And at this moment, he seems to have insisted again, letting me help the Douluo plane break through within ten years. Obviously, this is another path, the most orthodox path, breaking through from within the plane, with the cultivators within the plane breaking through to the god level, driving the plane to break through."

Many thoughts flashed through Xu Yuan's mind.

Could it be that the accumulation of the Douluo plane was actually enough long ago, but because of the existence of the God Realm, those seedlings who had hope of breaking through to the god level were valued by the gods and inherited godhood, so no internal cultivator ever opened up the path of the soul master god level, and could not drive the sublimation of the plane from within?

However, after the disappearance of the God Realm, excellent soul masters emerged one after another, and even the Dou Kai system appeared. Soul masters were becoming more and more powerful, approaching the god level.

They couldn't break through, or rather, they could break through, but only had such a brief opportunity to reach the god level.

A brief breakthrough was still a breakthrough.

But, could this really drive the evolution of the entire plane?

Or, was the accumulation of Douluo still not enough?

Then what was the meaning of what Tree Elder said before?

Or, did I misunderstand?

Xu Yuan fell into thought.

Chapter 313 First Rune Seal!

If the accumulation of the Douluo plane was sufficient, then after the appearance of the four-word Dou Kai, the plane should have had a chance to break through.

After all, in the history after the appearance of the four-word Dou Kai, there were more and more Limit Douluos. Not to mention Limit Douluos, even Quasi-Gods could exceed the number of both hands on the entire continent.

Even if breaking through to the god level was difficult, could one out of ten always break through?

A one-in-ten chance might underestimate the threshold of the god level, but combining the three eras, there were at least twenty Quasi-Gods. Was there really not a single one who had a chance?

Xu Yuan's initial understanding of Tree Elder's words was that the plane's accumulation was sufficient, and then internal cultivators would act as a catalyst, breaking through to the god level, which would promote the evolution of the plane.

However, judging from the situation he knew, it didn't seem to be the case.

Xu Yuan examined the conditions several times, and finally discovered the only place where there might be a mistake.

The plane's foundation must be sufficient.

The Douluo plane of 20,000 years ago, or even 10,000 years ago, was definitely satisfied.

Under the guidance of the most primitive cultivation methods, geniuses at the Limit Douluo level could emerge, which clearly indicated that the Douluo plane was already mature at that time.

Especially 10,000 years ago, the era of Huo Yuhao, was definitely the most prosperous and peak era of the Douluo plane.

In that era, the level-10 soul tool even appeared for the first time!

Level-10 should theoretically have broken through the boundaries of mortality and stepped into the realm of the god level.

And being able to give birth to such talents itself indicated that the plane had a need.

At that time, Douluo Star failed to complete its evolution, and even if soul tool technology continued to develop, and even level-12 fixed-mounted soul tool shells could be manufactured, it still failed to promote the evolution of the plane.

Obviously, the plane's foundation was insufficient.

The opportunity arrived, but there was a lack of follow-up performance.

"In today's era, Teacher Yun Ming, Cao Dezhi and Chen Xinjie of the Tang Sect, and Zhang Huanyun of the Blood God Legion, all have the ability to break through to the god level. They have all touched the threshold of the god level, but they dare not break through."

The reason they dare not break through is because they have sensed it.

After they break through, the plane cannot accommodate them.

"The abyss."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and also understood the root cause.

The Douluo plane has been developing, the soul master world has also been progressing, and various systems have emerged one after another, raising the upper limit of soul masters, and even the power system of the entire plane has continued to improve over the past 20,000 years. Soul masters of the same soul power level are becoming more and more terrifying.

However, even so, the power of the entire plane is still being lost.

First of all, the ecology has been damaged, and the overall recovery ability of the plane has been affected.

Secondly, there is the abyss, which is constantly devouring the power of the Douluo plane.

Each abyss tide, even if the creatures in the abyss army die, their power will return to the abyss, while any vitality on the Douluo side that is swallowed through the space channel is truly swallowed.

"Tree Elder, ah, Tree Elder, you have really given me a difficult problem."

Xu Yuan sighed heavily in his heart.

Ten years, become a god, this is not difficult.

Xu Yuan was confident that he still had this opportunity when he was twenty-six years old.

However, this was only based on not considering external factors, and only considering his cultivation speed and talent.

To become a god, Xu Yuan himself needed to complete too many preparations.

"However…"

Although it was difficult, Xu Yuan was not discouraged.

He recalled what Tree Elder said and smiled.

Obviously, this time Tree Elder did not choose to accept fate.

Yes, the Tang family's plan was very selfish, but it could indeed lead the Douluo Star to develop 'better', but if they didn't follow their path, the Douluo plane could still develop very well, even better?

"I am that hope."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and stopped thinking wildly.

He wandered in this space of will, comprehending the entire world.

In his feeling, the world at this moment seemed to become easier to control.

At the same time as he had this thought, he also had an understanding. No wonder the teacher had been staying on Sea God Island these years and had hardly traveled outside.

The reason he didn't feel the effect of the Golden Ancient Tree before was because he hadn't gained the recognition of the ancient tree, and Tree Elder hadn't helped to shield the influence of the plane's master?

Xu Yuan once again filtered out distracting thoughts and quickly cultivated the Forbidden Seven Absolutes.

Forbidden Seven Absolutes, the art of sealing.

Will

As he cultivated, the entire Golden Ancient Tree also made rustling sounds.

In the depths of the vast white space, Tree Elder's surprised voice rang out.

"This kid seems to have developed something amazing."

Tree Elder did not step forward to disturb him, but remotely sensed what Xu Yuan was developing.

"That is… a sealing formation?" Tree Elder was somewhat puzzled.

It didn't look like a pure formation.

It fused the shadows of will, essence, and spirit, faintly transforming into a character, and also—

"It even contains the power of heaven and earth!"

Tang Wulin was exhausted.

With Yun Ming's assistance, he released his fifth soul skill, Child of Nature, but he failed to completely control this soul skill, and his mental power was severely depleted.

At this time, he was somewhat envious of Xu Yuan.

"Grandmaster said that Brother Xu's soul skill soul ring of the Fire of Life was obtained from the Golden Ancient Tree. His Fire of Life can be used at any time, and it can always keep up with his pace."

Tang Wulin's tone was full of envy.

His soul skill, Child of Nature, was much worse.

He estimated that he would only be able to barely activate this soul skill as a Soul Douluo. If he wanted to use it as a normal soul skill, he would have to break through to become a Titled Douluo!

Too useless.
