Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 104 Mebius
Lu Jingming would not easily let go of a promising talent like Ye Guyi; he saw the immense value and potential hidden within her.

However, a certain god-king probably does not want to see the angel god return to his position.

But Lu Jingming didn't care at all, after all, in his plan, a showdown with the Sea God Tang San was only a matter of time.

Why did he have to transmigrate to the Douluo Continent? If he had transmigrated to another world, there might not have been much conflict or contradiction between them.

But things are completely different in Douluo Continent. Lu Jingming's rise on this continent will inevitably affect the "ten-thousand-year plan" that the Sea God Tang San has painstakingly planned for many years.

Therefore, there is little room for reconciliation between them unless one side is willing to back down and submit.

But neither the aloof Sea God Tang San nor the equally proud Lu Jingming would ever make such a choice.

Therefore, the final battle will come sooner or later, and Lu Jingming has been making comprehensive preparations for it in silence.

Tang San, the Sea God, controls the central hub of the God Realm, and there are quite a few gods who follow him in the God Realm.

Therefore, Lu Jingming will not only face the Sea God Tang San, but also many gods who stand with Tang San.

Although Tang San, the Sea God, also has enemies in the God Realm, such as the God of Destruction.

But Lu Jingming knew in his heart that the God of Destruction was not very reliable, because his wife, the Goddess of Life, secretly favored the Sea God Tang San, and the God of Destruction was a love-struck fool.

If he makes a rash decision at a crucial moment, Lu Jingming, who has placed his bets on him, will be completely on the defensive and helpless.

Aside from the God of Destruction, the God of Kindness, Lieyan, and the God of Evil, Jidong, although they appear to be neutral, are actually biased towards the Sea God, Tang San.

It seems that Tang San, the Sea God, has a very solid foundation in the God Realm, and it would be no easy task to shake it.

Even if the God of Destruction insists on going to war with the Sea God Tang San, his wife, the Goddess of Life, will teach him what backstabbing really means.

"So, we still have to rely on ourselves. Since we've chosen to be enemies of God, we can't do without a 'Demon King' character, right, Snake?"

Lu Jingming watched Ye Guyi being helped away by Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, and murmured to himself.

"First of all, you have to call me Dr. Möbius."

A slightly manic and yandere voice drifted from the void, carrying a hint of dissatisfaction, and responded precisely to Lu Jingming.

"And then, I am Ying Jie, not some demon king."

In an instant, the space was like a calm lake surface tossed with a stone, creating ripples.

Immediately afterwards, a figure suddenly appeared beside Lu Jingming.

The newcomer was dressed in a tight-fitting combat suit with black and green interwoven patterns. The fine, snake-scale-like textures on the suit were clearly visible, interspersed with gold and fluorescent green technological patterns that shimmered with a mysterious luster under the light.

This is a young girl with a slender and well-proportioned figure, exuding a unique temperament that combines the elegance of a scholar with the sharpness of a warrior.

Long, green hair cascaded down freely, with snake-shaped decorations cleverly inlaid among the strands, both lively and eerie. The snake-shaped pupils, which gradually changed from green to pink, were deep and mysterious, as if they held countless secrets.

From her clothing and appearance to her slightly arrogant voice, the girl exuded a dangerous aura, yet also possessed a peculiar and captivating allure.

"But isn't it quite interesting to be an enemy of God?"

A dangerous smile appeared on Mebius's face. His snake-like eyes narrowed slightly, like a venomous snake eyeing its prey. He slowly turned to Lu Jingming beside him, his eyes gleaming with an uncontrollable desire.

"Forget about it. You can get my physical data from the Black Tower, but forget about using me for experiments."

Lu Jingming didn't even need to think about it to know what this dangerous woman was plotting.

Mebius was completely different from the Black Tower; she was simply too crazy. No one could say for sure that she might suddenly decide to concoct some bizarre "little gadget" inside her own body.

"Boring, are you that afraid of me?" Mebius's smile faded, and a slight upturn of his lips revealed a mocking expression.

"I'm not afraid, it's just that I know you too well. Your adventurous spirit is too much. Once I'm absolutely certain and have complete control over the power of creation, it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to go crazy with you."

Lu Jingming shrugged and said.

Mebius was indeed a genius, but geniuses are often the most elusive and uncontrollable.

In this respect, the Black Tower seems much more normal.

At least Lu Jingming dared to lie on the Black Tower's experimental table without worrying about inexplicably losing limbs or being suddenly expelled from humanity, only to end up saying, "I'm not human anymore."

"Never mind, the best is always saved for last. I wonder what kind of expressions the gods of this world will have when they lie on my experimental table?"

Mebius extended his index finger, lightly touching the corner of his lips, a slightly cunning smile appearing on his face.

Her smile, paired with her stunning beauty, was alluring and seductive, yet also fraught with danger, making people hesitate to approach.

"I don't think they'd be very happy," Lu Jingming said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.

The gods in this world are very peculiar. Regardless of their rank, as long as they condense a divine position and ascend to the divine realm, they can possess a lifespan that is almost eternal.

However, if one has no divine position and no place in the divine realm, even as a deity, one cannot escape the limitation of lifespan.

Therefore, divine positions are crucial for lower-ranking deities, but less important for established deities who have cultivated for countless years.

After all, occupying a divine position means fulfilling divine duties and maintaining the stability of the divine realm; one cannot leave at will, which undoubtedly means losing freedom.

For those veteran deities who have long been tired of the constraints of the divine realm and yearn to roam the vast universe, the most urgent task is to pass on their divine positions as soon as possible and find a successor to "take over" their duties.

Just like the Asura God, one of the law enforcement gods in the divine realm, in order to find a suitable successor, he did not hesitate to violate the rules of the divine realm, competed with the first Sea God for the successor, and even indirectly intervened in the affairs of the lower realm to help Tang San.

For Möbius, who sought the infinite, the idea of ​​an immortal god was undoubtedly extremely appealing.

She wanted to figure out the underlying principles, but all of this depended on successfully capturing a living deity with a divine position.

Therefore, she was also very interested in the task assigned to her by Lu Jingming.

Like the Black Tower, Möbius, who has just arrived in this new universe, is trying to adapt to everything around him.

Although she had already merged into this universe the moment she was manifested by Lu Jingming, and her own power form was reshaped and manifested according to the rules of this world, she was still full of novelty about everything around her and her heart was full of enthusiasm for research.

Whether it was Soul Masters, Soul Beasts, or even Souls and Gods, they all aroused her strong desire to study them.

However, to Mebius's slight dismay, many things in this world had already been thoroughly studied by the Black Tower.

Lu Jingming handed over these research materials to her immediately.

Among them, the fusion warrior surgery that she was most interested in was the technology of fusing human and soul beast genes to create artificial soul masters. Black Tower had developed it to near perfection.

Not only is the success rate extremely high, but it also ensures that the fused warrior retains his human identity, does not exhibit beast-like behavior, and is not affected in any way, making it excellent in all aspects.

The only drawback is that the fusion warriors cannot become stronger on their own, but is that really a disadvantage for Lu Jingming?
With the wisdom of the Black Tower, is it really impossible to overcome this problem?
After carefully studying the unique surgical data on fusion warriors, Mebius was confident that she could improve it, allowing artificial soul masters to cultivate independently and even break through to the god level. But Mebius was no fool. Although she was a scholar devoted to research, she was also very aware of the thoughts of those in power.

The desire for control is the most deeply ingrained desire of all those who hold power, and Lu Jingming is no exception.

The fusion warriors were loyal to Lu Jingming, and Lu Jingming trusted them quite a bit, but that was not enough to justify him lifting the restrictions.

Human nature is greedy and cannot withstand the test, so Lu Jingming will neither allow Black Tower to completely perfect the Fusion Warrior surgery nor allow Mebius to interfere in this matter.

Sometimes, having some flaws is not a bad thing; on the contrary, it can serve as a check and balance.

Lu Jingming was confident enough to handle the possible loss of control by the fusion warriors, but since there were preventative measures in place from the beginning, why create unnecessary trouble for himself?

"Go, Snake, go and form our own Demon King Alliance, and create our own World Snake." As Lu Jingming spoke, he slowly took out an ice-blue gem that exuded a terrifying chill and handed it to Mebius.

"This is!?" Mebius's face instantly showed surprise when he saw the gem that seemed familiar yet different.

However, she quickly connected the dots with Lu Jingming's amazing ability and suddenly realized what was going on, a look of understanding flashing in her eyes.

"You're giving me more and more surprises, and I like you even more." Accompanied by crackling dark green lightning, a serpentine energy opened its maw and swallowed the ice-blue gem.

Mebius's gaze toward Lu Jingming grew increasingly intense, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

"If it's a different kind of liking, I would be very happy."

Lu Jingming was well aware that the "like" that Möbius spoke of was definitely not the kind of love between a man and a woman.

He wasn't so narcissistic as to think that a short time together would be enough to win over a complex and troublesome person like Möbius.

Möbius's so-called liking was nothing more than a high degree of recognition and satisfaction with high-quality experimental products.

"Heh, if you're willing to let me study it, I might consider it." Möbius reached out and gently stroked his cheek, chuckling softly.

Although she didn't care much about it, she was still clearly aware of her own beauty and knew how attractive it was to others.

"No thanks!" Lu Jingming rolled his eyes, his face full of disdain.

When Möbius says "I'll think about it," he most likely means he really will.

If I actually believed her nonsense, I would become a complete and utter traitor.

He's not going to fall for the trick of getting himself put on the test bench without paying any price.

"Demon King Alliance, World Serpent, hehe, I'll reluctantly become the leader of the Demon King Alliance and the Lord of the World Serpent."

Mebius knew that Lu Jingming was not so easily fooled, so he temporarily put aside his own thoughts and shifted his attention to other things.

Suddenly, the bracelet on Lu Jingming's wrist lit up with a green light.

His brow furrowed slightly involuntarily; the bracelet was a long-distance communication soul tool made by the Black Tower.

As long as it remains within the range of Douluo Star, it can accurately receive signals and achieve ultra-long-distance communication.

These communication soul tools are extremely expensive to manufacture, requiring a great deal of precious resources and effort to produce each one. Therefore, Lu Jingming only gave them to a few very close and trustworthy people.

Although logging into a simulated universe can also enable long-distance communication, nothing is as convenient as this.

Logging into the simulated universe is extremely difficult if two people from opposite ends of the world don't agree on a time in advance, making it incredibly challenging to meet and log in together. This presents a significant limitation.

Unless it's a specially made simulated universe login device like the one Orange has, which can receive timely reminders.

Moreover, logging into the simulated universe requires finding an absolutely safe and secluded place, unlike the communicator he has, which he can contact anytime, anywhere.

With this kind of remote communicator, only a handful of people can contact him.

Excluding those in Haiyuan City, only Ningguang, who is far away in Shrek City, and Ji Yingying, who is in the Sun Moon Empire, remain.

In front of Mebius, Lu Jingming raised his hand and turned on the communicator.

In an instant, a projection screen slowly unfolded before my eyes, revealing the aloof and beautiful face of a white-haired girl.

"It's you, Yingying. What do you need?" Lu Jingming wasn't too surprised to see Ji Yingying.

Ningguang has always been decisive and resolute in her actions, and she can handle most things on her own, so she rarely contacts him.

“Ah Ming, the Impermanence Division recently received a mission. I don’t know if I should accept it?” Ji Yingying also saw the unfamiliar green-haired girl next to Lu Jingming, but she was already used to the appearance of newcomers and felt no excitement or interest.

"Oh? What kind of task is making you undecided?" Lu Jingming's interest was piqued.

The Impermanence Division, hidden in the shadows, has quietly resolved many enemies for Haiyuan City that were inconvenient to deal with openly.

At the same time, they also undertake assassination missions, and their reputation is widespread among the underground forces of Douluo Continent, striking fear into the hearts of many.

However, the Impermanence Division doesn't accept every mission without careful consideration. Before taking on a mission, they will always weigh the identity and background of the assassination target, as well as the difficulty and potential risks of the mission.

In the past, the Wuchang Division would carefully judge whether to accept an order on its own, and Ji Yingying had never asked Lu Jingming about such matters.

Now, Ji Yingying is unusually indecisive, which arouses Lu Jingming's curiosity. He secretly wonders what kind of person the mission is to assassinate. Could it be a super strong person like the sect master of the Body Sect?
"The assassination target is Huo Yuhao, an outer disciple of Shrek Academy. The client is from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and the commission offered is as high as 200,000 gold soul coins."

Ji Yingying remained calm, her tone indifferent, revealing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

She had heard Lu Jingming mention that Huo Yuhao was the chosen one of this continent, and that he had been under the close surveillance of a god-king in the divine realm for a long time.

"Huo Yuhao?" Upon hearing this name, Lu Jingming was taken aback at first, but then he realized who it was.

The White Tiger Duke's commission was to kill Huo Yuhao, so the person who assigned this task was most likely Dai Huabin.

It seems that Dai Huabin has suffered quite a few losses at Huo Yuhao's hands, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths, spending 200,000 gold soul coins to hire assassins from the Wuchang Division.

A mere second-ring Soul Master, despite holding the title of an outer disciple of Shrek Academy, is not worth such a high commission of 200,000 gold soul coins under normal circumstances.

Clearly, Dai Huabin harbors deep hatred for Huo Yuhao, which is why he is willing to spend a fortune on him.

Two hundred thousand gold soul coins are perhaps just a drop in the ocean for the wealthy and powerful White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and are not worth mentioning.

But for a young man like Dai Huabin, who is still quite young, this is not a small sum of money that he can easily come up with.

After all, he is still young, and the resources he can use at his own discretion within the family are very limited.

Moreover, he wouldn't dare use the White Tiger Duke's funds for something as shady as hiring assassins; he could only take money from his own personal savings.

Perhaps, part of those 200,000 gold soul coins was funded by his fiancée, Zhu Lu.
