Douluo: Eternal Life from the Legend of Dragon King

Chapter 3 We will meet again!
Nearly ten thousand years have passed since the Sun-Moon Empire unified the Douluo Continent and changed its name to the Sun-Moon Federation.

After unifying the Douluo Continent, as there had been no internal disputes over the years, the arms race in the Sun-Moon Federation slowed down and an era of rapid development of science and technology began.

Using the resources of an entire continent to advance human science and technology has also led to a huge leap in humanity's overall strength.

Soul masters tens of thousands of years ago were beyond the reach of ordinary humans, but in this era, ordinary humans have the opportunity to kill soul masters if they get soul guides. Even demigods dare not withstand the highest level of soul guide bombs.

The overall strength of humans has increased, but soul beasts still only have a few high-end combat forces, and the mid- and low-end combat forces are almost crushed. This also means that soul beasts can no longer compete with humans.

Even the once prosperous Star Forest was defeated by humans, and its area is now less than one percent of its original size.

The reason why humans stopped fighting was that they were afraid that the soul beasts would rush to the brink of destruction along with humans. Otherwise, they would have killed Di Tian and the others to take their soul bones and make them into soul spirits long ago.

Of course, it’s not that humans cannot afford to pay the price of exterminating soul masters, but they don’t have high-end combat power willing to die in vain. Soul beasts are now like captive animals to humans, so why should they risk their lives to exterminate soul beasts?
Moreover...some councillors and the Spirit Pagoda do not quite agree with this aspect. Firstly, they need some special soul beasts for experiments, and secondly, they also have their own little ideas.

This also led to humans starting to change their goals and heading towards the sea. After all, for tens of thousands of years, human development of the ocean has been close to zero, and the resources of the ocean are much richer than those on the continent. Today, the offshore waters are completely dominated by human warships.

Aolai City is a small city on the east coast of the Sun and Moon Federation. Although the city is not large in area, it is close to the sea, so fishing, transportation, and selling seafood are very convenient. Most people living here don’t have to worry about resource issues. Even if they can’t become rich, they can’t die of poverty.

Aolai City at night is like a bright gem inlaid in the endless darkness. The city is full of tall buildings, colorful lights, and the brightly lit buildings sparkle in the night wind.

"Time flies. I am six years old now. It is time for me to awaken my martial spirit..."

In an orphanage in the core area of ​​Aolai City, Chen Xi stood by the window looking at the bright moon in the sky with complicated thoughts.

In his previous life, there was a rumor that after death, people would go to the underworld, and there would be a judge to judge the dead. Unless they were unforgivable criminals, after being judged, they would go to the Naihe Bridge to drink Mengpo Soup, forget the memories of this life, and reincarnate as a human being.

There are many different opinions about this rumor. Some people don't believe it, some are skeptical, and some are very sure...

But whether you believe it or not, no one can provide evidence to prove this rumor.

Even the revolving lantern can be experimented with scientific methods, but how can this rumor be proven?

Even if someone is willing to sacrifice their life for the experiment, even if there really is an underworld, it cannot be told to the living.

Some people also drew inspiration from this rumor and created novels about rebirth and time travel.

But all this is just people's imagination and should not be taken seriously.

In the past, Chen Xi was skeptical about this rumor, but now he believes it.

Because he did travel to Douluo Continent and lived another life, but the only difference was that he had never entered the underworld. After losing consciousness on the hospital bed, he opened his eyes again and was lying in the arms of his mother in this life. He grew up in an orphanage until he was over one year old and almost two years old before he gradually recalled the memories of his previous life.

He also realized that he had traveled to the world of Douluo Continent in his previous life's novel. After traveling to this world, Chen Xi did not feel panic but was ecstatic instead.

No one knows whether the myths and countless gods of previous lives are true or false, and no one knows whether those immortals and gods who can change the world and repair the sky with one hand actually exist.

But in this world, gods really exist. Tang San, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and the Shrek Seven Devils 20,000 years ago, and Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong 10,000 years ago are all living examples.

Becoming a god means possessing power beyond the reach of ordinary people, and... immortality!
The start for these people is no different from that of ordinary people, they all have to awaken their martial spirits.

"Martial Soul... I don't even know what my martial soul is."

Chen Xi is still very nervous now. When he thinks about awakening his martial soul tomorrow, he is so nervous that he can't sleep.

After all, in the past, what most determined the fate of ordinary people was knowledge, college entrance examination scores, and test papers...

In Douluo Continent, it is the martial soul that determines a person's fate. In this world, even if you are born in a humble family, as long as you can awaken your martial soul, your future is uncertain.

You may awaken a powerful martial soul, and from then on your future will be bright and you will enjoy all the glory and wealth, or you may awaken a weak martial soul and be unable to change your current living situation...

After all, this is a world where strength speaks. The power of an individual can really compete with that of a country. As long as you have strong strength, then gaining power, wealth, and love is just a matter of words.

And all of this is inseparable from the awakening of the martial soul. Awakening the martial soul is only the first step on the road to transcendence. What follows depends on one's luck.

Chen Xi didn't know what kind of martial soul he could awaken. He could slightly feel that he had soul power, but he didn't know what level it was.

If a powerful martial soul is awakened, combined with the memories in his mind, he should be able to achieve something.

He remembered reading the novel Legend of the Dragon King, but because he didn't have hyperthymesia, he could only vaguely remember what happened in the early and late stages of the novel. He only remembered some major events in the middle stages, such as the protagonist joining Shrek, who were the Shrek Seven Devils, and Dragon Valley...

Generally speaking, this era is very dangerous. For some people, it is the best era, and for others, it is the worst era. Although I don’t remember much, with these, I have mastered the overall situation and opportunities. As long as I do well, immortality may not be a fantasy.

Even if he has a weak martial soul, he can cling to the protagonist, transform himself into a robot to achieve mechanical ascension, or become... an evil soul master!

As long as he can realize his dream and gain the strength to survive in this great era, Chen Xi will do anything!
"Xi'er, don't worry..."

Just as Chen Xi lowered his head and thought about what to do in the future, a female voice suddenly sounded in his mind. Chen Xi trembled all over when he heard this voice.

It’s not that he was scared, but he was very familiar with the voice. It was the voice of his mother in this life.

Although Chen Xi has forgotten most of his memories before the age of one, he can still remember his mother's voice. Among his vague memories, the one that he remembers most clearly is his doting mother.

As for his father, he has been living with his mother since he was born in this life, so maybe he doesn't have a father.

Chen Xi turned his head slightly and saw a soul emitting blue light floating beside him. The soul had a curvy figure and facial features, but because her whole body was transparent and emitting light, it was a little difficult to see clearly.

However, Chen Xi recognized at a glance that this was his mother's appearance.

"Mother……"

Looking at Chen Xi, who knew about the soul, moved his mouth and uttered these two words. He wanted to ask his mother what happened before he was one year old.

Why did I end up in an orphanage? Did something happen to my mother or was she no longer alive?
But he didn't dare to ask. He had experienced maternal love for a period of time in this life, although he could no longer remember what happened in his childhood.

But as long as he was close to his mother, he had a sense of security, which was a feeling he had never experienced in his previous life. He was a little afraid to hear the bad news about his mother. He no longer wanted to experience the feeling of losing a loved one again.

"Your martial spirit is very powerful. Don't worry too much about the awakening of your martial spirit. As a Quasi-Douluo, your mother still has this ability."

The soul did not react at all when it heard Chen Xi's voice and continued to talk to itself, as if it had been set. This was also a spiritual projection that high-level soul masters could use.

I use this method when I have something I want to say to my juniors or others but don’t have the time to say it in person.

Of course, there are other methods, such as lodging one's own spiritual power in the spiritual sea of ​​​​other people, which can not only convey messages but also store one's own power to protect important people.

"After awakening your martial spirit, practice well, but be moderate. Don't hurt yourself, or your mother will be sad."

"After that, you must eat well, grow up healthily, and find a girlfriend who truly loves you. Of course, you can find several girlfriends too. Mom believes in Xier's charm."

"But don't be a scumbag. Give the girl who likes you an ending and an explanation."

"Oh, and the most important thing is, when you become stronger, you can go... Never mind, Mom won't make plans for your life. Just live the life you like."

"Finally, mom can't accompany you as you grow up, but you have to remember that mom really, really loves you the most..."

After saying the last sentence, the soul slowly hugged Chen Xi's cheek, kissed his forehead, and then slowly dissipated.

"Mother……"

Chen Xi's eyes were filled with crystal clear tears. He bit his lower lip tightly to prevent himself from crying out loud, but the tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.

After a while, Chen Xi reached out to wipe the tears from his face and slowly calmed down.

Since my mother said that my martial spirit is very powerful, I don’t have to worry anymore. After all, she also said that she is a quasi-Douluo.

Quasi-Douluo is generally used to refer to soul masters whose soul power level has reached level 90 but have not yet achieved a breakthrough.

A soul master of this strength would have been able to roughly sense the innate soul power of others long ago, and her mother had no reason to lie to herself. After all, she came out to comfort herself at this special time period just to give herself a shot of reassurance and stop being anxious.

If his mother lied to him because his martial spirit was not strong, it would be a huge blow to Chen Xi, which was not what Chen Xi's mother wanted to see.

"Don't worry, mother. No matter what happens, we will definitely meet again!"

Chen Xi thought with a determined look in his eyes that if his mother left for some reason, he would search the whole world for her.

If the mother has passed away, he will resurrect her.

If the soul master cannot be resurrected, then he should become stronger and become a god! Become a god king! One day, mother and son will be reunited!
