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

Chapter 190 Darkening Makes You Ten Times Stronger

"It shouldn't be a problem. After all, my aunt is a Soul Saint-level expert with a Martial Soul True Body. Even if she can't win, escaping shouldn't be a problem."

Shui Bing'er gently shook her head. Although she had a vague sense of foreboding, she dismissed it as a misperception caused by the constant influx of negative emotions.

Just then, a terrifying chill suddenly erupted from the distant valley, and an icy blue arrow streaked across the sky like a meteor, leaving a shocking ice mark above the valley.

The terrifying chill, with its extreme low temperature, even made Shui Bing'er, who possessed the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, tremble.

"Bing'er, run! Don't look back, there's something here!"

A powerful surge of soul energy erupted like a raging wave, and Shui Ming'er's voice echoed from afar.

However, the next moment, her voice stopped abruptly, and at the same time, the violently erupting soul power fluctuations instantly subsided like flames being extinguished.

Sensing the sudden disappearance of Shui Ming'er's soul power fluctuations and the abrupt extinguishing of her life force, Shui Bing'er's pupils constricted sharply, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

"Auntie!" The disappearance of soul power and the complete extinguishing of life force meant something that everyone in the Tianshui team knew perfectly well.

They both looked on incredulously, and Shuiyue let out a mournful cry, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.

"Let's go!" Despite her immense grief, Shui Bing'er managed to suppress her emotions and maintain her composure.

She grabbed Shuiyue'er, and a pair of ice wings quickly unfurled from her back. Without hesitation, she desperately fled in the direction she had come from.

This sudden separation brought tears to the eyes of everyone in the Tianshui team, but they did not lose their composure. Instead, they heeded Shui Ming'er's last words and chose to escape immediately.

"boom!"

Not long after Shui Bing'er and the others hurriedly left, an object like a fiery meteor streaked down from the sky.

With a roar and an explosion, a ring-shaped shockwave spread out, smashing a huge circular crater into the ground.

The intense flames swept wildly, instantly melting the earth into scalding lava wherever they went, creating a scene of intense heat and destruction.

Amidst the billowing smoke and surging air currents, a tall figure shrouded in black mist could be vaguely seen, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

The gaze shifts to the depths of the valley, where dense black mist coalesces into a pitch-black throne.

On the throne sat a white-haired youth.

He propped his cheek with one hand, his eyes tightly closed. Several dark cracks on his pale face were particularly conspicuous, adding to his eerie and demonic aura, making him look like a demon king from the abyss.

Not far from the throne, a lifelike ice sculpture stands quietly.

Shui Ming'er, encased in ice sculpture, had a look of shock and fear frozen on her face until her death.

It is clearly visible that there is a shocking hole in her chest, as if the vitality of her life was instantly sucked away at that moment.

Not far away, a pink-haired girl, also shrouded in black mist and with black cracks on her cheeks, slowly lowered the longbow in her hand expressionlessly, then gently closed her eyes. As she moved, the chilling aura surrounding her gradually dissipated, leaving only a deathly silence and eeriness.

Deep within the valley shrouded in black mist, several blurry figures appeared and disappeared in the darkness.

At the same time, all kinds of negative energy, like a drawn torrent, continuously converged from the depths of the earth.

Killing intent, resentment, death, malevolence, yin energy, demonic energy... it was as if all the negative energy accumulated over a long period of time on the entire Douluo Star was now surging and converging on this place like rivers flowing into the sea.

"This is really interesting!"

On a mountain peak not far away, Lu Jingming gazed quietly at the figure on the black throne who looked exactly like him, a look of great interest in his eyes.

Immediately, his gaze shifted to the pink-haired girl who had just fired the fatal arrow, killing Shui Ming'er of Tianshui Academy, and his expression instantly turned strange.

"Is this what they call 'ten times stronger when corrupted'? Even if Little Three Moons herself came, she couldn't beat her!"

Lu Jingming was absolutely certain that if March 7th were to face this corrupted version of himself, formed from negative energy, he would be utterly crushed and humiliated without a doubt.

After all, these memories formed from negative energy were inextricably linked to him, and because of this, he knew that the power of these memories was beyond imagination.

"Your idea is correct. Planting a World Tree on this planet, turning its branches into ley lines, and materializing the negative energy that the planet has accumulated over countless years, and then using the Soul Masters of this world to purify it and convert the negative energy into positive energy, can indeed allow the planet to evolve ahead of schedule!"

The figure of the Great Compassion Tree King quietly appeared. She also gazed at the valley shrouded in black mist in the distance and sighed softly.

From the planet's perspective, Lu Jingming's move is indeed a very significant and good thing.

By gradually channeling the negative energy accumulated on a planet over countless years and transforming it into positive energy such as life force, the planet's growth process could indeed be accelerated. However, this approach is not beneficial to life and civilization on this planet.

After all, this negative energy was generated by intelligent life on the planet.

Commoners oppressed by Soul Masters or nobles harbor endless resentment, as do Soul Beasts hunted by humans.

These intelligent beings, both in life and after death, continuously generate negative emotions and energy.

These negative energies have always existed, but ordinary people are neither able to perceive them nor can they easily utilize them.

Lu Jingming planted the World Tree, allowing its branches to transform into ley lines, slowly guiding the negative energy buried deep within the planet to the surface.

He did this purely to consolidate his divine position, and his goal was extremely ambitious; he did not want to start from the lowest level of divine position and gradually advance.

Take Poseidon, the god of the sea, for example. He spent thousands of years collecting the power of faith from the sea before finally achieving the status of a first-level god.

The same was true of the Angel God; by collecting the faith of the continent, he only became a first-level god.

Lu Jingming, on the other hand, looked down on the position of a first-level god; what he sought at the very least was the position of a god-king.

So he turned his attention to the planet itself.

According to Black Tower's research, the so-called divine realm is essentially a convergence of the thoughts of all living beings. It is formless and intangible, existing in a different dimension from the real world.

Faith is, in fact, a manifestation of the power of thought in all beings.

This is why divine positions, formed by faith, can only be entrusted to the divine realm, because the divine realm and the power of faith are essentially consistent.

Because the realm of gods is a world of mental energy without physical form, it was swept into the black hole by the spacetime turbulence, while planets with physical forms were not affected at all.

Whether in the Douluo Continent where Lu Jingming is located or in this parallel world's Douluo Continent, collecting faith is by no means easy, especially since the process is extremely time-consuming.

Even if he were to unify the two Douluo Continents, it would be by no means something that could be achieved in a short time; it would take at least a hundred years.

Lu Jingming didn't want to spend so much time waiting. Of course, the time required to condense the divine position of a third-level god was relatively short, but that was far from enough to satisfy his ambition.

Ultimately, through the joint research of Hetta and Mebius, he found a shortcut.

Since a planet possesses its own consciousness, it can also provide the power of thought to all living beings, thereby providing the power of faith.

Although the planetary consciousness of Douluo Star only possesses instincts, the fact that it can autonomously choose the chosen one of destiny means that it is also a special kind of being.

Just like Long Tianyang, the planetary will of the twin stars Longma, who not only developed intelligence but also possessed his own thoughts.

However, the planetary will of Douluo Star is far less powerful than that of Long Tianyang. It has not yet formed its own will, so it is impossible for it to actively worship a certain god and thus provide a huge amount of faith power.

Therefore, Lu Jingming came up with a mutually beneficial approach.

He helps the planet evolve, and in doing so, the planet's will will instinctively feel close to him, thus feeding back the thoughts and fortunes of all living beings to him.

He can then use this feedback force to achieve his goal of consolidating his divine position.

In just a few months, he successfully planted the World Tree, which he materialized through the Holy Mark, on this planet. This is the root cause of a series of anomalies that have occurred on the planet during this period.

By leveraging the power of the Soul Master world to cleanse the planet of its long-accumulated negative energy, thereby indirectly promoting its evolution, Lu Jingming's task is simply to patiently await the moment of harvest.

According to estimates, once a large amount of the planet's negative energy is cleared and converted into positive energy, Douluo Star will undergo direct evolution, becoming an existence similar to the demigod realm.

At that time, the upper limit of strength on the mainland will no longer be limited to Title Douluo.

By then, the powerful force the planet would give him would be enough to help Lu Jingming directly condense a god-king level position of life and wisdom.

The reason Lu Jingming chose Douluo Star in a parallel world to implement this plan is that the gods in this world are not so bored that they will always be focused on Douluo Continent.

The God Realm governs a vast star system, and there are many advanced planes like Douluo Continent.

Therefore, no deity would be so bored as to keep a close eye on every move of Douluo Star.

Even the Asura God and the Sea God, who left behind their divine inheritances, only left a wisp of divine consciousness in their inheritances. This divine consciousness would only focus on matters related to the divine examination and would not concern itself with matters outside of the divine examination.

Therefore, Lu Jingming can confidently and boldly carry out his plan here and cause trouble wildly.

However, he couldn't do that in his original Douluo Continent, because a certain bored God King was keeping a close eye on Douluo Continent at all times!
