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

Mebius's eyes held curiosity, fervor, but even more so, an undeniable sense of...frustration.

In the field of life sciences research, she is indeed inferior to this woman named Nguyen Mai.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and turned to look at Ruan Mei, who was standing in front of a huge light screen, intently recording data.

"I want to see their current vital signs."

Mebius's voice was as clear as ever.

Upon hearing this, Nguyen Mai, who was busy at work, turned around.

She remained as gentle and elegant as ever, seemingly indifferent to everything, and smiled slightly at Möbius.

"can."

She nodded, her tone indifferent.

"The relevant treatments and modifications have all been completed, and to me, they have lost their research value."

After saying that, she ignored everyone and turned to continue her work, as if those two miraculous creations were just toys that she had casually discarded and was no longer interested in.

Having received approval, Mebius did not hesitate and immediately went to the main control panel.

Her slender fingers flew across the light screen, bringing up a series of massive and sophisticated data streams.

It was a record of every single moment of Di Tian and Shangguan Wei'er's treatment, from the beginning to the end, including changes in their gene sequences, cell activity index, energy circulation model, soul fluctuation frequency... everything was recorded clearly.

Seeing the flashing data on the screen, Möbius's pupils contracted instantly, and his breathing became rapid.

The sheer amount of information contained within, along with the unbelievable treatment plans and transformative ideas employed by Ruan Mei, left even this master of life sciences feeling dazzled and bewildered.

Meanwhile, Lu Jingming took advantage of Mebius's immersion in the sea of ​​data to begin explaining to Gu Yuena and Ye Guyi.

Since capturing Dai Mubai and others, Ruan Mei has developed a strong interest in the life forms of gods and mythical beasts.

In the past month, she has studied the four "samples"—Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang Hao, and A Yin—from top to bottom.

It can be said that in her eyes, the life essence of gods and mythical beasts has no secrets left.

Lu Jingming's words made Gu Yuena and Ye Guyi both feel a chill.

Using high and mighty deities as samples for research is something that probably only the lawless geniuses around Lu Jingming could do.

"So, while treating Di Tian and Shangguan Wei'er, Aruan casually... added a little something to their diet."

A mysterious smile appeared on Lu Jingming's lips.

"Of course, this is a great thing for them."

He looked at Ye Guyi and explained:

"Let's talk about Shangguan Wei'er first. Her original talent was only that of a Title Douluo. It's hard to say whether she can break through to level 95 in this lifetime. That's her limit."

"But now, not only has Aruan cleared the violent destructive power from her body, but she has also perfectly integrated a portion of the destructive power into her martial spirit and soul in a stable and controllable way."

"Shangguan Wei'er is no longer a pure spirit attribute soul master, but a dual attribute of 'spirit' and 'destruction'. Her potential has grown explosively. Not to mention becoming a god, as long as she doesn't slack off, reaching level 99 Limit Douluo is no problem at all."

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi's beautiful eyes instantly filled with surprise and gratitude.

She knew that for Shangguan Weier, this was nothing short of a complete rebirth.

"As for Di Tian..."

Lu Jingming turned his gaze to Gu Yuena, his voice tinged with surprise.

"He actually benefited from the misfortune."

"Because Huanlong directly occupied his physical body, the erosion and transformation of his body by the power of destruction was far more thorough than that of Shangguan Weier. When Aruan was treating him, she used the results of her research on the life forms of divine beasts from the Blue Silver Emperor on him."

"As a result, Di Tian is now a genuine divine beast."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena could no longer remain calm, and an incredulous light flashed in her beautiful purple eyes.

Mythical beasts mean nothing to her.

But for the soul beast race, that is the ultimate form they dream of, the one that can break free from the constraints of lifespan and heavenly tribulations.

"From a genetic point of view, the current Di Tian can no longer be considered a soul beast in the traditional sense; he is a completely new species."

Looking at Gu Yuena, who was too shocked to speak, Lu Jingming softly added:

"However, whether he is a soul beast is not determined by his genes, but by himself. As long as he still considers himself to be a soul beast, then he is the god of soul beasts."

Gu Yuena nodded, having no objections. Whether or not he was a soul beast was unimportant; what mattered was that Di Tian was alive.

Moreover, strictly speaking, she is not a soul beast, but she is still the ruler of all soul beasts.

Thinking of this, she slowly tiptoed, her rosy lips close to Lu Jingming's ear, and whispered in a seductive, slightly husky voice that could melt one's bones:
"Thank you... Would you like a reward tonight?"

As Lu Jingming smelled her unique, cool fragrance, like a rare orchid in a secluded valley, and felt the warmth of her breath on his ear, the flame in his heart was instantly ignited.

Without hesitation, he pulled her into a tight embrace, lowered his head, and gently kissed her red lips, then chuckled softly:
"Needless to say? Not just a reward, I want double the reward."

"no problem."

Instead of resisting, Gu Yuena stretched out her arms and hooked them around his neck, her face blooming with an unprecedentedly bright and charming smile.

She's in such a great mood right now.

It wasn't just because Di Tian was cured that she gained a loyal subordinate at the level of a divine beast.

More importantly, she saw in Ruan Mei's magical ability to transform planets and create life a true and bright future for the Soul Beast race.

Perhaps, they really don't need to struggle for survival anymore, and they don't need to fight to the death with humans anymore.

Lu Jingming didn't speak, but simply wrapped his arms around her and gently stroked her soft, silver hair.

He knew that Gu Yuena's happiness at this moment was not just for Di Tian.

Di Tian was healed, and even benefited from the misfortune, escaping the Dragon God's curse and becoming a true divine beast. This was undoubtedly a great joy, enough to make her extremely excited.

But Lu Jingming knew even better that for the Silver Dragon King, who bore the fate of the entire soul beast race, Di Tian's affairs were merely personal matters.

Lu Jingming was aware of Gu Yuena's request. Now that Gu Yuena was his woman, he certainly wouldn't let her be put in a difficult situation.

The conflict between soul beasts and humans stems from the fact that soul masters need to acquire soul rings for cultivation, but now with the existence of holy marks, this conflict has been greatly reduced.

However, humans and spirit beasts have harbored hatred for so many years, and given their different races, conflict is inevitable. Therefore, Ruan Mei is very important; she can completely transform a planet suitable for spirit beasts to live on and relocate them.

Lu Jingming was not an extreme human supremacist; his empire was capable of accommodating other races.

However, a single Douluo Star cannot accommodate two different races.

But for Lu Jingming, this was not a difficult task. Transforming a planet is difficult for others, but it is very simple for Ruan Mei.

The Soul Beast race is suppressed by the plane and cannot break through to become gods because of the Dragon God's curse. And that curse is the strongest on Douluo Star, because Douluo Star is the Dragon God's homeland.

Therefore, the soul beasts of Douluo Star will never have a chance to rise to prominence until the next Dragon God is born.

However, once you leave Douluo Star, the dimensional suppression will naturally disappear. Although the curse will still exist, it won't be as powerful.

Ruan Mei is not only able to create planets suitable for soul beasts to live on, but also to break the Dragon God's curse engraved in the bloodline genes of soul beasts.

While Haiyuan City was bathed in the tranquil glow of life and technology, on the other side of the Douluo Continent, the ancient Tiandou City was completely shrouded in the shadow of war.

Dark clouds.

That was not a natural celestial phenomenon, but a steel dome composed of tens of thousands of soul-guided airships, blotting out the sun.

They hovered neatly above Tiandou City, their cold metal shells reflecting a chilling light under the leaden sky, like countless vultures eyeing carrion, quiet yet filled with a deadly sense of oppression.

Below the warships lay an even more terrifying ground army.

The vast, boundless legion of mechs resembled a forest forged of steel, with the eerie glow of an energy core shimmering on the shoulder of each mech.

They are behemoths of war, whose every move makes the earth tremble.

Mixed within the mech legion are even more bizarre and dangerous units.

That's the antimatter legion.

Finally, there was the largest army of Soul Masters, the cornerstone of this war. Their various Soul Tools were fully charged, and tens of thousands of cannons, like a dense honeycomb, were all aimed at the majestic and ancient city below.

Within Tiandou City, all was deathly silent.

The once bustling streets were deserted; all the residents hid in their homes, peering fearfully through the cracks in their doors and windows at the shadow of death hanging in the sky.

The oppressive, hopeless atmosphere, like a frozen swamp, made it hard for everyone to breathe.

The atmosphere atop the city walls was completely different from that inside the city.

The current emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire, a middle-aged man with graying hair and beard but still upright and sturdy as a pine tree, is currently wearing a full suit of golden dragon-patterned armor and holding an imperial holy sword that has been passed down for thousands of years, standing personally on the city wall.

His gaze swept calmly over the overwhelming torrent of steel outside the city, a force capable of crushing everything, without wavering in the slightest.

Beside him stood an exceptionally burly, muscular old man, shirtless, his bronze skin covered with crisscrossing scars.

He simply stood there quietly, and an aura of unparalleled dominance, as if he could shake the heavens and earth with his physical body, arose spontaneously.

The master of the noumenon sect cannot be killed by poison.

Behind him were more than a dozen elders of the Body Sect with equally powerful auras. Each of them was a titled Douluo who was capable of founding a sect on the continent.

They didn't speak, but demonstrated their stance through their actions—to live and die with the Heavenly Soul Empire and with this Heavenly Fighting City.

"Although it's very inappropriate to say these things now..."

A slightly languid yet clear voice rang out, reaching the ears of every powerful individual present.

Jing Yuan, with his white hair and dressed in a magnificent robe embroidered with cloud patterns, glanced at Fei Xiao, who stood solemnly beside him, before turning his gaze to Du Busi and the Heavenly Soul Emperor.

"...But the difference in strength between the two sides is just too great. Aren't you really going to consider retreating?"

Jingyuan admired these people's backbone, but he could not condone such a futile act of throwing eggs against rocks.

Sacrifices are acceptable; after all, how many sacrifices have been made in the war between their Immortal Boat Alliance and the Abundant Spawn?

He simply disagreed with meaningless sacrifices.

The fact that this war has been able to drag on until now, and that the Heavenly Soul Empire hasn't been completely crushed immediately, is entirely due to the support of him and Fei Xiao, two external allies, in terms of high-end combat power.

They repelled the Sun Moon Empire's probing attacks several times, killing many of their titled Douluo, thus buying the Heavenly Soul Empire this last chance to breathe.

But he knew in his heart that this wouldn't change anything.

Although he and Feixiao are powerful, they cannot possibly turn the tide of a war involving millions of people and a technological gap between them.

Especially when the other side also has powerful figures like Huanlong and Xingxiao in charge.

This is not a fair war at all.

Jing Yuan thought to himself.

He has already foreseen the outcome, but he will not stop it.

This is not the celestial Luofu, and he has no obligation to protect this land.

He's here and will lend a hand, entirely out of respect for Feixiao.

Fei Xiao's intervention was solely due to her relationship with Vina, the little princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Neither of them had a reason to fight to the death for the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The army of the Sun Moon Empire is not some kind of monstrous creature; there is no irreconcilable hatred between the two sides, only a difference in their positions.

In his view, the best option now is for Emperor Tianhun to lead all his elite troops at the Title Douluo level, abandon Tiandou City, break out to the south, and join forces with the reinforcements from the Star Luo Empire and the Douling Empire. There might still be a sliver of hope.

"Your Excellency Jingyuan."

The Heavenly Soul Emperor spoke slowly, his voice steady and firm, without the slightest wavering.

"It is hard to leave one's homeland. Beneath my feet lies the foundation laid by my ancestors with their blood and glory. I was born here, grew up here, and should die here. As the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire, I will never abandon my people and capital in the face of the enemy and flee alone."

His tone carried an imperial dignity and pride that even Jing Yuan found remarkable.

After speaking, Emperor Tianhun turned his head and looked at Feixiao, who had been silent all along. His originally majestic eyes revealed the pleading of a father.

"Your Excellency Feixiao, I have only one request: in the final moments, please take Vina with you. The bloodline of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family must not be cut off in my hands."

He bowed deeply and solemnly to Feixiao.

Fei Xiao's expression remained unchanged, but a barely perceptible ripple flickered deep within his eyes. (End of Chapter)
