Douluo: Becoming the Taoist Priest from the Enlightenment Tree

Chapter 92: The Remnants of the Old Times
Walking past rows of strange trees, Wu Dao ignored the strange things in front of him. He could feel that there seemed to be life activities deep inside.

Can there still be life in this corrupt world?

Wu Dao was very curious and finally walked out of the dense forest with questions.

What came into view was a giant grey beast, but it was obvious that it was once pure and flawless white, and it was only because of the environment that it became what it is today.

The grey scales were dull and mottled, like an ancient stone wall eroded by time. Only a few white spots proved that it was not originally this colour, but now it looked even uglier.

The body has been severely deformed, and the originally elegant posture has become twisted and ugly, covered with all kinds of strange fungi and mosses, which are like a thick layer of green fluff, covering the entire body.

"Gunasri Ou."

The giant beast seemed to sense the arrival of life and tried hard to open its eyes. Its cloudy eyeballs glanced at Wu Dao and it slowly uttered a few incomprehensible bytes despite its weak body.

Wu Dao used his mental power to translate it and found that what this guy said was "How did you get here, outsider?"

Wu Dao connected his mental power to the other party and began to communicate with him.

From its words, we can know that they are actually native animals of Douluo Continent and have established a huge kingdom of beasts.

The animals waiting to die outside have been passed down from generation to generation. They should have been the source of fire, but now they are about to disappear. It is ironic.

"here it is······"

They didn't expect that the blockade would last so long, and the inheritance from generation to generation would almost exhaust the resources.

The indigenous animals on the continent began to change constantly under the influence of countless blood, and the energy of soul power began to appear in Douluo Continent. They turned into soul beasts and possessed long lives.

Perhaps due to the communication through mental power, the speech of this giant beast was obviously much more fluent than before.

Although it is not known how the prophet did it, it did predict the great changes in heaven and earth, and they are all trying to cope with this great change.

After listening to this guy's explanation, Wu Dao probably knew what had happened and could not help but sigh inwardly that he had bad luck.

In the end, a brutal war broke out for the sake of resources, and only one clan that could barely be considered the winner emerged victorious.

But now, it is just about to die.

However, through special means, it can be detected that this place has probably existed for millions of years, which is still a long time for Wu Dao, who is only in his teens.

The ancient secrets will also be buried and no one will ever know them again.

At that time, in order to ensure safety, the opening of the space entrance required the detection of energy return, which protected them but also harmed them.

Under the leadership of their leader, they opened up this small space and preserved the last spark of fire in this small space, hoping that one day in the future the world would return to its original state, and then they would continue to rule this continent.

But the fact is, that period of great change was when the Dragon God went mad, the dragon clan fought frantically with other life forms, and countless blood was shed on the Douluo Continent.

Naturally, he was not surprised why this small space had to be destroyed now, as it had existed for too long.

"I opened the space and came in directly, and now, what is going on here?"

Wu Dao was very interested in this place. He could actually create a small space now, but it was difficult to maintain it. It required constant replenishment of energy and had some major flaws.

Since the prophets had accurately predicted many events before, they had to believe that this good era was about to pass, and that great changes in the world would follow.

But one day, the prophet sensed that the world was about to change drastically, the energy on which they depended for survival might disappear, and the country built on blood and power would collapse.

After knowing the situation outside, its eyes dimmed, probably because it found itself ridiculous.

The mission passed down from generation to generation now seems more like a joke, and will eventually disappear quietly without anyone knowing.

"This is for you." The giant beast struggled to stand up, trembling all over, and pushed a black ball under it to Wu Dao.

The black ball slowly rolled in front of Wu Dao, followed by a loud noise as the giant beast fell heavily to the ground.

Wu Dao picked up the black ball and used a bit of his mental energy to probe into it. Inside was the legacy of that era.

Reluctantly, he turned his attention to the giant beast in front of him. This guy was already at the end of his rope.

The energy and blood in its body were almost exhausted, and the movement just now had consumed its remaining strength.

The hope of continuing to live was extinguished after hearing what Wu Dao said. After entrusting the black ball to Wu Dao, it no longer had any regrets.

The light in its eyes gradually disappeared, and its body gradually became stiff. Wu Dao looked at it and was impressed by the wonder of all things.

The next second, it stood up suddenly and roared towards the sky unwillingly. Invisible air waves rushed in all directions, raising clouds of dust.

It's dead.

It sends a reluctant voice to the world, showing the final elegance of that era.

In Wu Dao's eyes, the last bit of life energy slowly left its body, and its soul gradually dissipated.

It had persisted for too long and everything had decayed.

Wu Dao controlled the soil here to form a large pit on the ground, then moved it into the pit and buried its body with black soil.

A ball of black metallic liquid appeared in front of Wu Dao. It kept changing shape in the air and gradually took the shape of a tombstone.

Under Wu Dao's control, the metal tombstone was inserted directly into the burial site.

After thinking for a while, Wu Dao carved three lines of words on the tombstone.

——The Watcher of the Old Times

——Sad, respectable, pitiful

——A toast to fate

After carving, Wu Dao turned around and left with the black ball without any reluctance.

The past should be the past, and the present is the ladder to the future.

Wu Dao opened the space lock and went out from the previous entrance.

This small space is on the verge of destruction, and the locks for entry and exit are no longer working.

Looking back at this small space emitting an aura of decay and destructive power, Wu Dao felt a sense of emotion.

If the soul beast failed, its final fate would probably be the same as theirs, leaving behind its fire and hiding.

The only difference may be that their ending is not as good as before?
After all, by that time the God Realm should not leave any troubles behind and will simply wipe out all the soul beasts.

After coming out, it was still night outside, and the cold moonlight was like a layer of gauze gently covering Wu Dao's body.

There was complete silence all around, no one was around. Perhaps they were all scared by the powerful soul beast that had appeared earlier.

Wu Dao's heart was very excited, because the black ball contained what he wanted.

A faint silver light emerged, and Wu Dao disappeared on the spot.
