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

Chapter 287 The Prototype of Godhood
Watching Shangguan Weier walk further and further away until her figure disappeared from sight, Lu Jingming fell into deep thought.

Accepting the Ordinary Alliance will undoubtedly enhance the overall strength of Haiyuan City.

However, this move will inevitably attract more firepower from the Sun Moon Empire, but for Lu Jingming, it is not a major concern.

"Is her statement credible?"

Gu Yue frowned slightly, her eyes filled with doubt.

She found it hard to believe that someone in charge of a powerful force would willingly relinquish the power they held and instead align themselves with a foreign power based solely on unfounded speculation and intuition.

There must be a deeper reason behind this.

“She is definitely hiding something, but her desire to join us is probably genuine, and her fear of Xu Tianran is not feigned.”

Lu Jingming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Cooperating with the Great Lord of Annihilation is like digging your own grave. Those who destroy their own destiny are all insane, their minds filled with thoughts of destruction. Whether it is self-destruction or the destruction of others, it is as commonplace in their eyes.

In their minds, civilization is like cancer—something that must be eradicated.

Therefore, Xu Tianran was merely a tool they used.

Shangguan Weier's current actions undoubtedly prove this point.

Those nobles have probably already been influenced by the idea of ​​destruction, to the point that they have become completely different people from before.

Xu Tianran, though possessing extraordinary talent and being a peerless hero, is nothing compared to the Great Lord of Annihilation. Even if he is merely a memory of the Great Lord of Annihilation, he is like a firefly competing with the bright moon, having no advantage whatsoever.

Over the long course of history, the Great Lord of Annihilation destroyed countless civilizations and witnessed countless heroes and outstanding figures.

The Great Lord of Annihilation has seen countless ambitious and flawed human heroes like Xu Tianran.

However, without exception, these people eventually became members of the antimatter legion, contributing to its destructive endeavors, and Xu Tianran was no exception.

Perhaps Xu Tianran still thinks he has the upper hand and that everything is under his control.

But in reality, the truth may be contrary to his ideas.

Shangguan Weier is completely different from Jing Hongchen and other high-ranking figures in the Sun Moon Empire.

She rose from humble beginnings through hardship, spending much of her time in aristocratic circles, while the Ordinary Alliance mostly interacted with ordinary people. Therefore, she was more sensitive to changes in the darker aspects of society.

The changes that Jing Hongchen may not have noticed, Shangguan Weier had already keenly observed.

This is precisely why she is so eager to escape, even if it means giving up the fruits of the Ordinary Alliance's decades of hard work in Mingdu.

Moreover, the Ordinary Alliance's decades of accumulation, whether in terms of money or resources, are firmly in Shangguan Wei'er's hands.

Before leaving, she could even take one last big stunt on the nobles of the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, Lu Jingming could not find Shangguan Weier's choice difficult to understand.

After all, staying in Mingdu was tantamount to waiting for death.

After all, Shangguan Wei'er is also a Title Douluo. Once she is thrown into the antimatter furnace, she will be able to create an excellent Void Soldier.

"Star Howl, this is a real headache!"

Lu Jingming narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he said that, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. His fingertips unconsciously tapped the armrest lightly, making a rhythmic sound.

"Is that Star Howl really that terrifying? We have an absolute advantage in strength, is it really necessary to be so troubled?"

Gu Yue was full of doubt, and really couldn't understand why Lu Jingming was so wary of Xing Xiao.

As far as she knew, the combat power that Lu Jingming had arranged, both openly and secretly, was terrifying enough to sweep across the entire Douluo Continent.

In Gu Yue's eyes, the Mirror Stream, as it appears, has already reached the level of god-level combat power.

Dan Heng, who was hiding in the shadows, was a dragon like her, but not the kind of dragon she knew. His strength was not much different from Jing Liu's.

In addition to the many other meticulous arrangements, Gu Yue really couldn't understand why Lu Jingming would go to such lengths.

With such formidable combat power, who else could possibly rival them?

Moreover, with Lu Jingming's help, her original body has recovered most of its strength and is now able to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.

She can merge with her original body at any time and personally take action as the Silver Dragon King.

With such overwhelming strength, it was like a dragon charging right at their face; Gu Yue simply couldn't imagine any possibility of them losing.

“You’re right. Judging from the results, it’s unlikely that we’ll lose, but there will definitely be a lot of trouble. You can think of Xingxiao as a super-enhanced version of the Robin, and a Robin that is extremely specialized in combat.”

Lu Jingming attempted to use the robin as a metaphor to help Gu Yue better understand the terrifying nature of Xingxiao.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue fell silent.

Even she had to admit that the robin's terrifying support abilities were extremely powerful.

Even the Emerald Swan, ranked fourth among the ten most ferocious beasts, is far inferior to the Robin in terms of support abilities.

Robins also possess the ability to harmonize, including understanding, support, and cooperation; these are all manifestations of this ability.

Even more powerful is that Tongxie also possesses deeper capabilities such as assimilation, integration, and clustering.

And Star Howl is a super-enhanced version of the Robin.

Shangguan Wei'er noticed a strange change in some of the nobles at the top of the Sun Moon Empire, which was the result of their assimilation by Xingxiao's ideology.

They begin to understand destruction, support destruction, and cooperate with destruction. Given time, it is only a matter of time before they embrace destruction and become a part of it.

Starscream may have only just begun its operation, so those people are currently only at the stage of understanding and supporting destruction.

But as time goes on, the next step will inevitably be cooperation and full commitment.

The robin does not resort to forcibly assimilating others; it only gains recognition through its sincere beliefs and beautiful songs that resonate with others.

But Xingxiao won't be so polite; it will use any means necessary to impose its ideas on others.

Therefore, Lu Jingming was not surprised by these changes among the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Things are getting more and more interesting. Being able to confront an existence like the Great Lord of Annihilation is truly a rare experience."

Lu Jingming gripped his left hand tightly. In an instant, lightning flashed, and a thunderous ring appeared behind him like a phantom. The light that burst forth seemed to tear apart the constraints of space, carrying an indescribable and boundless power.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yue's pupils constricted sharply, his eyes filled with disbelief. He knew that Lu Jingming hadn't even reached the level of a Title Douluo yet, and he had already begun to condense the rudiments of a godhood?
This undoubtedly breaks the long-standing conventional understanding in the Douluo Continent.

After all, according to common sense, without reaching a soul power level of ninety-nine, one is not even qualified to bear a divine position. Even if it is only a rudimentary form of a divine position, it is by no means something that those whose soul power has not reached this level can touch.

Lu Jingming clearly felt the power slowly emanating from the sacred mark, a power whose nature was completely different from soul power.

Although its quantity is extremely rare, amounting to only a tiny trace, it is inherently incredibly powerful, far surpassing soul power.

Take activating a soul skill as an example. The effect of using this trace of thunderous divine power versus using soul power to activate a soul skill is worlds apart.

Lu Jingming's soul power level is increasing at an astonishing speed, and he is advancing towards the title of Douluo. At this rate, he is very likely to break through to become a titled Douluo before the age of twenty, thus creating a great legend that is unprecedented and unparalleled.

However, compared to his progress in other areas, the improvement in his soul power level seemed rather insignificant.

His divine positions of thunder and life have already taken shape, and he is even able to manifest divine halos.

At the same time, these two nascent divine positions were already able to assist him in absorbing external energy within the Holy Mark Space, thereby condensing divine power.

Although the divine power that has been condensed at this moment is still very weak, divine power is divine power after all, and its potential and power are far beyond what soul power can match.

Moreover, his Black Abyss White Flower Martial Soul is also undergoing a transformation, and has begun to evolve towards becoming a companion artifact.

After a few more evolutions, it will completely break away from the martial soul system and become a true divine artifact.

The Soul Master system in Douluo Continent is not without its advantages. At least after a Soul Master becomes a god, their weapon spirit has the opportunity to transform into a companion artifact.

Unlike other gods, who either need to forge their own artifacts or can only inherit artifacts from others.

Companion artifacts complement Soul Masters, growing alongside their masters, and their potential for advancement far surpasses that of other artifacts.

In the hands of its master, the accompanying artifact can break through its limits and unleash unimaginable power.

As time went on, Lu Jingming's progress accelerated.

After all, he had truly exceptional advantages.

He seized Huo Yuhao's position as the chosen one of destiny, and the destiny of Douluo Star, which the Sea God Tang San had long coveted, was now right before him, at his disposal.

In terms of soul beasts, Xue Di and Gu Yue are closely connected to him. He can utilize the fortune of the far north and the Star Dou Great Forest at any time, but he simply does not do so.

Aside from luck, he also has no worries about lacking cultivation resources.

The Black Tower has extended its tentacles to the realm of gods and even the entire universe, continuously acquiring resources for itself.

Furthermore, he also possesses the Thousand Realms Vehicle, which allows him to acquire various precious resources from parallel worlds.

On his path of cultivation, he also had many top-notch mentors to answer his questions and resolve his doubts.

Whether it's Mirror Stream, Black Tower, or Raiden Shin and Great Kind Tree King, these powerful beings can all provide him with valuable guidance and assistance.

It can be said that he possesses almost perfect qualities.

He had been quietly accumulating strength in the early stages, and now, when that strength is about to explode, it will be the time for him to reap abundant rewards, and that opportunity is just around the corner.

"What on earth are you thinking about?"

As she approached the gate exit, Shangguan Weier was suddenly blocked from her path.

She looked up and saw an elegant and beautiful blonde girl leaning lazily against a tree, with a pink-haired servant standing beside her.

Shangguan Wei'er was slightly taken aback, then a sincere smile appeared on her face as she slowly said, "It seems that sending you to St. Freya Academy was the wisest decision I ever made."

"That's true, and I'm very glad I was able to join the academy!"

Ye Guyi nodded slightly.

If she hadn't joined St. Freya Academy, she would never have been able to witness such a wonderful world. She might have had to continue hiding, or she might have been discovered by the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult and ultimately met a tragic end.

She was truly grateful to Shangguan Weier for this.

The other party not only took her in, but also planned a better future for her, and their actions can be described as extremely kind and righteous.

That's why she cares so much about Shangguan Weier.

After all, she knew in her heart that the Ordinary Alliance was a business that Shangguan Weier had built up over decades of hard work, and it was not something that could be easily given up.

"There's no other way. If we don't leave now, we might really never be able to leave again!"

Shangguan Wei'er gave a helpless bitter smile. Then, she slowly removed a colored contact lens from her left eye, revealing a red eye radiating destructive light to Ye Guyi and Leimiaoan.

"You! How could this be?"

Ye Guyi subconsciously took a step back. When she was stared at by those red eyes filled with destructive desire, she felt a tremor run through her body and her face was full of disbelief.

Remian's smile vanished instantly, and her face darkened.

That pure aura of destruction was terrifying, as if everything in the world would be mercilessly destroyed in the face of it.

It was a sense of indiscriminate destruction, a firm belief that it would annihilate everything, the universe, and even itself.

"Do you still remember my martial spirit?" Shangguan Weier put her colored contact lenses back on, a bitter smile on her face.

"Seven Emotions Celestial Melody Zither!"

Ye Guyi replied in a heavy tone.

"That's right, it's the Seven Emotions Heavenly Melody Zither. Although it's not a pure spirit-type martial soul, I also possess spirit-type soul skills, so my spiritual power is stronger than that of an ordinary Title Douluo."

Shangguan Weier showed a hint of relief. If it weren't for the fact that her martial soul and soul skills had such characteristics, she would probably be like those nobles of the Sun Moon Empire, having already come to highly agree with the idea of ​​destruction!
"I'm just an ordinary Title Douluo, and also the leader of the Ordinary Alliance. Do you think I'll be the one who gets overlooked?"

Shangguan Wei'er's tone was full of bitterness.

Unlike Jing Hongchen, she didn't have a powerful backer or possess a great deal of power, so she hadn't yet been targeted by that terrifying being.

She was merely an ordinary Title Douluo who had built a vast network of connections in Mingdu through her skillful social maneuvering. However, this vast network was insufficient to protect her completely.

After all, even the powerful nobles behind her were struggling to protect themselves.

Therefore, she had actually been targeted by that terrifying being long ago, and the other party had already made its move quietly. She was powerless to resist and could only helplessly fall victim to it.

"I used a mental-based soul skill to forcibly separate my soul from my spirit, but even so, that destructive will still affect me at all times. It constantly erodes my will, attempting to replace me and completely destroy me!"
