Douluo: Eternal Life from the Legend of Dragon King

Chapter 1 The beginning of everything

"My child... your mother will never see you grow up again..."

"Son, this auntie will be your mother from now on. Come on, call her mom."

"What did you say? You want to live with your own grandma? Well... that's fine. I will transfer your living expenses to you on time every month."

"Nephew, don't be sad. Your grandma lived to be almost a hundred years old before she passed away. She didn't have any illness before she died. It was a happy funeral... Don't cry..."

"Doctor, what are you saying? My son only has a few months left?! Is there no treatment?"

"Alas... He's only in his teens and he's going to die. Luckily I have other children, otherwise there would be no one to inherit my family business."

…………

It is said that when a person is on the verge of death, he or she will enter a strange state, in which people usually cannot feel the passage of time.
At the same time, the brain will collect memories in the brain, allowing people to relive their lives at the last moment of their lives and regain their desire for life.

This is what we commonly call a "revolving lantern".

The dying boy was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale and his eyes closed.

He has now entered this state, and his mind is flashing through some of the unforgettable things he has experienced in the past decade or so.

Chen Xi was originally a rich second-generation with a wealthy family and a rich life, but fate did not seem to favor him. His mother died because of him when he was a child. Not long after his mother's death, his father married another woman. The woman did nothing bad to him, but he could not fit in into this new home, so he proposed to his father to live away from home.

After that, he started living with his grandmother, who passed away a few years ago. Now his life is coming to an end...

I have to say that the revolving lantern was very useful and successfully aroused the boy's desire to survive.

"I am still young, I haven't seen all the prosperity in the world, I haven't been able to enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers... I don't want to die!"

Chen Xi screamed madly in his heart, but it was of no use. Death would not come just because you didn't want to die.

Everyone will die, the only difference is that some people die young, while others just live a little longer.

Chen Xi also understood this truth, but he really couldn't control his fear of death.

He was afraid that after his death he would enter a world of nothingness, where he would no longer feel the sun, rain, or breeze...

The world is so beautiful, how can we not miss it?

Chen Xi had a strong desire to survive, but his body was becoming weaker and weaker. Now he couldn't open his eyes even if he tried his best.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xi's consciousness became increasingly blurred. His last thought before he lost consciousness was:

"I can't bear to die like this! I want to live forever! I want to live with the people I care about!"

…………

The forest is like a huge green maze, full of mystery. The dense leaves cover the sky, making people feel peaceful and mysterious.

Deep in the forest, there is a small lake. The lake is like a dazzling gem inlaid on the earth, crystal clear and fascinating.

The only pity is that the lake is too small and it looks like it may dry up at any time.

There was a man standing on the shore of the small lake.

He was wearing a black robe and looked to be in his forties. He had a handsome and resolute appearance, with a strand of golden hair hanging down one side of his cheek.

Not far from him, there were some people standing, some tall, some short, some fat, some thin, some male, some female, of all different shapes and sizes.

But they have one thing in common, that is, everyone's eyes are very dim, as if they are sad.

"Beast God." A beautiful woman in an emerald green dress and with a gentle temperament quietly floated in front of the man in black, and then shouted respectfully.

The black-clothed man known as the Beast God trembled all over, and his eyes were dazed for a moment, as if he had thought of something, but then a hint of bitterness revealed at the corner of his mouth.

“Beast God? I’m afraid these are the only soul beasts left. Whose god can I be? Is there such a god in the world?” Upon hearing this, the green-dressed woman was silent for a moment, and then she said in a low voice with some sadness: “It has been about 10,000 years. From the time Huo Yuhao founded the Spirit Pagoda to the present era, 10,000 years have passed. The Spirit Pagoda is still there, and it is even more prosperous and thriving.”

"But... we can't change the end of our destruction?"

The man in black said helplessly, "I also want to change the situation of soul beasts, but humans are so powerful that we can't compete with them."

"The Great Star Forest, this remaining paradise was won at the cost of our lives..."

"Yeah..." The woman in green was a little sad. In Di Tian's eyes, his fellow souls were those powerful and intelligent soul beasts, while she, who was kind by nature, saw all soul beasts as her fellow souls. Therefore, over the years, she had seen too many soul beasts being exterminated by humans. She saw it with her own eyes and felt pain in her heart, but she really couldn't change anything.

Suddenly, the man called the Beast God raised his head abruptly, and a tangible light burst out from his eyes.

The aura burst out from his body without any concealment, shaking the world!
"Buzz..." The ground beneath their feet vibrated slightly, and then the lake in front of them seemed to boil, with bubbles bubbling up. These bubbles rose rapidly, and then the frequency of the earthquake became more intense.

"What's going on? Is the human army coming?" the woman in green dress exclaimed in disbelief.

Although these soul beasts are lonely, they can still severely damage humans if they fight to the death. That is why humans have tacitly accepted the soul beasts living in this area for so many years.

If we really want to attack them, it means that humans' combat power will crush them, and the damage caused by the soul beasts fighting to the death will not be a big deal. What should we do?
"Fight them!"

A sturdy man on the shore suddenly shouted loudly, then roared to the sky, and in the roar he turned into a giant bear with huge body, emitting dark golden light all over its body.

"Mr. Bear, calm down. This is not a human." The Beast God shouted loudly, and on his cold face, there was a hint of indescribable ecstasy.

"It's over, it's all over..." A low voice appeared in the forest without warning.

The sound seemed to come from all directions, and because it was too low, it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

"Boom!" The earth cracked and the entire forest was shaking violently. The little water left in the small lake flowed into the cracks in the ground, and the lake bottom was exposed in a moment.

"Bang!" A ball of silver light suddenly emerged from the crack in the earth and then fell on the shore.

It was a huge claw, all covered with bright silver, and the huge silver claw was densely covered with hexagonal silver scales.

Each scale reflected a strange brilliance, and the huge slapping sound carried unparalleled pressure, making all living things kneel before it.

The Beast God's eyes were filled with even more ecstasy. He walked to the giant claw with gratitude, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "Welcome, Master."

The earth exploded instantly, and the powerful momentum made everyone on the shore feel palpitations. A huge figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

As a green light came on, giant trees rose from the ground. The trees that covered the sky blocked out the sunlight. The flowers, plants and trees all began to grow wildly, presenting a scene of resurrection of all things.

As for the people on the shore, they all turned into huge soul beasts.

But when facing the silver behemoth, they could only crawl on the ground, lower their proud heads consciously, and submit to it!
"It's dead, but I'm still alive." The low words sounded like a roar, with hatred and a hint of sadness in the tone.

"Damn humans, are they going to exterminate us? But now that I'm awake, it's their turn to perish. From now on, the offense and defense will be reversed!"

The bright silver light was so dazzling that all living creatures dared not look directly at it. They could only prostrate themselves on the ground and reverently welcome their king.

After hearing the master's words, the Beast God said anxiously: "Master, the current human beings are too powerful. Even if I try my best, I can't defeat their top spirit masters."

"And the technology they have developed is not something we can easily resist."

The huge silver body slowly lowered its head and looked at the Beast God. It did not blame him for anything, but instead said in a low voice: "If you want to destroy humans, you must first understand them."

"All of you, come with me. The world we live in is about to be completely destroyed by them. In this case, let's take over their world!"

The huge figure slowly walked towards the outside of the forest. Under the cover of the huge tree canopy and the occasional sunlight, its huge body slowly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When it reached the light, it had already transformed into a human form...
