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

Chapter 249 Makoto and Mei
Looking at the group of beautiful young girls surrounding Lu Jingming, Raiden Mei felt as if she were watching a harem anime, and Lu Jingming was like the gentle, kind, and lovable male protagonist.

Don't worry about it, you'll get used to it!

Jinxi elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin. Raiden Mei's cooking skills were indeed superb, and even Jinxi praised her cooking skills.

Noticing the unusual expression on Raiden Mei's face, Jinxi sighed softly and smiled slowly.

They were all summoned by Lu Jingming and had a natural affinity for him, but this was not the fundamental reason why they truly fell in love with him.

What truly moved them was Lu Jingming's genuine care for them, and his consideration for them in every aspect of life.

Over time, this positive feeling naturally grows stronger.

From the small details of daily life to every interaction they had, they could genuinely feel Lu Jingming's affection for them—a heartfelt and unreserved affection.

Although Lu Jingming seems to like quite a few people, which sometimes causes them to complain a little, in their hearts it's not a big problem that's unacceptable.

Raiden Mei's lips twitched slightly, and she thought to herself, "What do you mean by 'getting used to it'?" However, she didn't dwell on the matter too much.

After all, through the Holy Grail, she had already obtained some basic information about this world.

She learned that this was a feudal imperial society, and under such a social background, this situation was probably the norm!

After all, this world has emperors and nobles, and polygamy seems to be the more common phenomenon.

Take emperors for example; there are very few emperors without concubines in their harem.

"But speaking of which, Mei-neechan and Shin-neechan look so alike! I almost mistook them for each other before."

March 7th opened her bright, lively eyes and exclaimed in amazement.

Recalling the moment she first saw Raiden Mei, the image of Raiden Makoto instantly flashed into her mind, and she almost confused the two.

"That's true, and you both have the surname Lei Dian, so are you sisters?"

Even the robin couldn't help but show curiosity, tilting its head, its heart full of doubt.

"Real sister?" Meng Hongchen keenly caught the new name, and alarm bells rang in her heart. It was yet another name she had never heard before!
At the same time, Raiden Mei also looked puzzled, clearly feeling a bit confused. Was there someone here who looked a lot like her?

"It's me!" Just as Raiden Mei was wondering, a gentle and mature voice rang out.

Suddenly, the Thunder Saint Mark on Lu Jingming's hand lit up, emitting a soft light. Then, Raiden Shinna's graceful figure slowly appeared in the arena.

"Hiss!" Upon seeing Raiden Shin, who bore an almost 90% resemblance to Raiden Mei, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but gasp.

In her eyes, this was undoubtedly a formidable competitor, an absolute nemesis!

Raiden Mei was already enough to make her extremely wary, but now another one has appeared, which makes her feel even more pressured.

"You?" Raiden Mei stared blankly at Raiden Shin, the familiar face before her like a mirror image.

The two not only look very similar, but they also have the same temperament, both exuding a gentle aura.

The sudden appearance of Raiden Shin made Raiden Mei wonder for a moment if she had a twin sister or younger sister.

"My name is Raiden Shin. Besides my sister, I never thought there was anyone else who looked so much like me."

Raiden Shin wore a gentle smile; she found it all quite amusing.

Of course, she knew in her heart that Raiden Mei had nothing to do with her.

After all, she and Raiden Mei are twin demon gods, not human, while Raiden Mei is clearly a genuine human.

"What a coincidence!" Raiden Mei's lips twitched slightly as she thought to herself.

With their surnames, appearances, and demeanor, an uninformed person would definitely mistake them for twin sisters.

Seeing this amusing scene before him, Lu Jingming found it quite interesting.

He couldn't help but imagine that if Huang Quan, Lei Yingdian, and General Leidian were all here, the scene would definitely be even more interesting, and perhaps even more wonderful sparks would be ignited.

At this moment, in the Douluo God Realm, an extremely fierce battle was still raging on.

The battle between the god-kings was incredibly destructive, like a terrible storm that swept across the entire divine realm.

Although the divine realm side has the upper hand in this battle, it will not be easy to suppress the Golden Dragon King and Ma Hongjun in a short period of time.

Even Tang San, who had transformed into the Asura God, was now bloodthirsty and recklessly attacked Ma Hongjun, completely disregarding their past brotherhood.

Moreover, the sudden disappearance of Xiao Wu, who served as the scabbard of the Asura Sword, in the realm of gods caused a fierce conflict between the two great gods, the Sea God and the Asura God.

The conflicting forces of the two divine positions nearly caused Tang San to explode and die on the spot. Fortunately, Tang San had been a god for many years, and through long-term practice and cultivation, he had gradually become able to reconcile the conflicting forces between the two divine positions.

If it were when he had just become a god, and Xiao Wu was no longer there to support his divine position, he would have exploded on the spot.

Even so, Tang San had to use some of his power to suppress the Sea God's position in order to maintain the balance of power within his body.

Therefore, despite his intense killing intent and desire to kill Ma Hongjun to avenge Xiao Wu, he was unable to fully unleash the Asura God's overwhelming attack power.

In this way, the threat he posed to the Golden Dragon King and Ma Hongjun was much less than that posed to the God of Destruction.

As the saying goes, "One day in the divine realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal realm." While the divine realm was at the center of this great war, time was quietly passing in the mortal realm.

In the blink of an eye, only one year remains until the 2025th All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

This year's competition was to be hosted by the Sun Moon Empire. However, to Lu Jingming's surprise, the Sun Moon Empire did not seem to have any intention of giving up hosting the competition.

In the year or so that the Holy Grail War had already begun and continued for a long time.

One after another, many people with good fortune were chosen by the Holy Grail, became Masters, and then summoned Servants.

However, all the major factions tacitly chose to hide their Masters and Servants, carefully avoiding being targeted by those with ulterior motives.

After all, once you can kill other Servants, you can obtain some negative energy, thereby enhancing the strength of your own Servants.

This temptation makes all parties extremely cautious, fearing that their trump cards will be exposed too early.

The Sun Moon Empire is preparing to make significant changes to the rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, intending to allow all major sects of the Douluo Continent to participate.

In the original novel, the Sun Moon Empire did this in order to wipe out all the sects and forces of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Now, they clearly have another purpose: to lure out the Masters and Servants hiding in the shadows.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire was determined to win the Holy Grail War, since the saying "He who obtains the position of the Sea God will rule the world" had already spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

The legendary deities have not appeared on the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years.

But everyone knows that once a god descends, it will determine the fate of the entire continent.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that no one knows the true, unfathomable strength of Haiyuan City.

The other three empires did not hesitate much in response to the Sun Moon Empire's proposal and quickly agreed.

They were perfectly aware of what the Sun Moon Empire was planning.

However, they also understood that the Holy Grail War was bound to break out sooner or later, and since the Sun and Moon Empires had chosen Mingdu as the battlefield, the three great empires were naturally happy to accept it.

After all, the strength of Servants is beyond imagination. If a large number of Masters and Servants were to fight each other, it would not be impossible for them to destroy the entire Ming Capital.

As the core city of the Sun and Moon Empire, any problems with Mingdu would undoubtedly have a tremendous impact on the empire.

Given such a golden opportunity to weaken the Sun and Moon Empire, how could the three great empires possibly object?

Moreover, this was something the Sun Moon Empire brought upon itself.

Lu Jingming understood that the Sun Moon Empire dared to act this way because it had probably drawn some trump card, which made it so fearless and brimming with confidence.

However, Lu Jingming did not use his authority as the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the Holy Grail to check which Servant the Sun Moon Empire had drawn.

Aside from the first time he checked out of curiosity who the first Master and the summoned Servant were, he never used that privilege again.

In his view, omniscience is sometimes a very boring thing.

When everything is laid out clearly before you, you lose the joy of the unknown.

What he wanted was surprise. If the Holy Grail War was entirely under his control and he knew every development, it would become too boring.

He was certainly eager to know which powerful Servants those chosen Masters had summoned, but the feeling of using his privileges to directly access the Holy Grail's backend information was completely different from seeing and recognizing the other party in person.

Therefore, Lu Jingming suppressed his curiosity and, apart from Bai Xiuxiu and Silky, did not check the information of any other Masters and Servants.

Compared to the upcoming Soul Master Tournament, Holy Grail War, and Servant Battle, today is also an extremely important day for Lu Jingming.

Today is his 18th birthday. That's right, he turned 18, which means he's an adult.

For most people, adulthood may not seem like a special thing, but for Lu Jingming, it has a unique significance.
