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

It was an independent space of sacred marks floating in the dimensional rift.

When Lu Jingming stepped into this place, the entire space seemed to come alive.

The space, which was originally filled with endless, cold, deathly silence and darkness, began to light up.

A figure slowly emerged from the deepest part of the darkness.

It is a butterfly.

At this moment, she is fundamentally different from the past.

She still had that serene and beautiful appearance, but she no longer possessed any trace of the life of a living person.

Every move she made, every smile she gave, exuded a sense of tranquility and peace.

Her very existence is the embodiment of death.

With Lu Jingming's help and driven by the planet's vast concept of death, she has successfully condensed her own divine position.

The position of the god of death.

From this day forward, she will be the only legitimate goddess of death on this planet, the one who governs the end of all life.

"Ah Ming, you've come."

Xia Die's voice was ethereal and otherworldly, as if it came from the depths of the underworld, yet it carried a warmth that she only possessed when facing Lu Jingming.

"I am coming."

Lu Jingming walked up to her and gently took her hand.

"Are you ready? Let's begin the most important thing we can do."

Xia Die nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Becoming a god was not the end goal for her.

After becoming a god, the first thing she wanted to do was, with Lu Jingming's help, to create a world that truly belonged to the dead—the underworld.

"Then, let's get started."

Lu Jingming released her hand and took a step back.

"Black Tower, Nguyen Mai, Buyer, Miku... everyone, I'm counting on you."

As he finished speaking, several equally powerful wills descended upon this space.

"Hmph, how could I possibly miss such an interesting project?"

A confident voice rang out; it was Black Tower.

"The ultimate end of life is death, and being able to witness the birth of an 'afterlife' is of great significance to my research."

This is Ruan Mei's intellectual and elegant voice.

"The cycle of all things, the cycle of life and death, is the duty of the World Tree. I am happy to create a peaceful home for the children of this world."

The voice of the Great Tree King was full of compassion and gentleness.

"The celestial computer has been connected to the Sacred Mark Space, and its computing power is at 100% output. It can begin constructing the model of the laws of the underworld at any time."

This is Miku's efficient and accurate report.

Thus began a monumental project, unprecedented in history.

The first step is to create space.

"Xia Die, with your divine position as the core, expand your holy mark space to its limit."

Lu Jingming issued the order.

Xia Die closed her eyes, and the black divine power of the Death God surged out of her body like a tsunami, rushing wildly in all directions.

What was originally just an isolated space in a dimensional rift began to expand endlessly and wildly under the infusion of the power of death.

Its boundaries are rapidly extending towards infinity.

Inside the space, the darkness deepened, and the stillness became even more profound.

Countless "stars" formed by the laws of death are slowly born and slowly disappear in this dark universe.

Here, a transformation is taking place from a "space" into a true "world".

The second step is to anchor the earth's veins.

"Buyer, it's your turn."

"give it to me."

The illusory figure of the Great Tree King appeared in the center of the underworld.

She stretched out her hands.

Behind her, a phantom of a world tree, towering into the sky and composed of emerald green light, slowly emerged.

The next moment, the roots of this World Tree seemed to penetrate the dimensional barrier, plunging from the underworld into the real world—the core of Douluo Star.

The network of ley lines that runs throughout the entire Douluo Star, resembling the planet's blood vessels, was completely activated by the power of the World Tree at this moment.

Countless invisible ley lines, made of soul energy, were forcibly connected from the real world to this newly born underworld.

From then on, this underworld was no longer a rootless duckweed.

It is closely connected with the entire Douluo Star, becoming an indispensable part of the planet's ecological cycle.

The third step is to establish order.

"Black Tower, Ruan Mei, Miku, construct the fundamental laws of the underworld."

"receive."

Above the underworld, a colossal blue light screen composed of billions of data streams suddenly unfolded.

That's the computing interface of the celestial computer.

The figures of Hei Ta and Ruan Mei stood before the light screen, like two designers planning the universe.

"First, there is the 'River of Souls,' where all souls entering the underworld must undergo its baptism, forgetting their past lives and leaving only the purest essence of their souls."

"Then comes the 'Plain of Silence,' where souls await reincarnation. Based on their merits and demerits in their previous life and the purity of their souls, they are divided into different waiting areas."

"Finally, there is the 'Gate of Reincarnation,' which is macroscopically controlled by the celestial computer based on the dynamic balance of the real world's population, determining the number and quality of souls entering the reincarnation each day."

Each of their commands is transformed into lines of complex code, which Miku inputs into the core of the underworld.

Behind them, the entire underworld was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

A colossal river, radiating a ghostly blue light, stretched across the entire underworld and appeared out of thin air.

A vast plain, covered with tiny white flowers that shimmer with a faint light, unfolds at the end of the river.

A massive gate, constructed of black and white crystals and exuding majesty and solemnity, stands at the end of the plain.

The basic framework of the underworld has been completed.

The fourth step is to infuse it with soul.

“My turn.” Lu Jingming looked at the world of the dead, which was already taking shape, and took a deep breath.

He reached out his hand, and the Black Abyss White Flower appeared in his palm.

He gently inserted his spear into the void beneath his feet.

"In my name, I summon those who have been lost between life and death, those who will return."

His voice seemed to transcend time and space.

The next moment, throughout the entire Douluo Continent, those remnants of souls and spirits who died due to war, accidents, or various other reasons, but whose souls, due to obsession, resentment, or other causes, did not completely dissipate and still wandered among the mortal realm…

At this moment, it was as if everyone heard an irresistible call.

Their figures, one by one, emerged from the places where they died.

Then, they transformed into streaks of light, involuntarily drawn along the newly established ley lines, and entered this brand-new underworld.

Millions of soul orbs, radiating various colors of light, fell into the "River of Souls" like a dazzling meteor shower.

After being cleansed by the river, their resentment, obsessions, and memories were slowly stripped away, eventually transforming into pure souls radiating soft white light, who ascended to the "Plain of Silence," where they waited quietly.

The underworld has finally welcomed its first batch of "residents".

The final step is to perfect the cycle.

"Mebius, this is the final step, I'm counting on you."

Lu Jingming looked at the last expert who had not yet made a move.

"Hmph, it's finally my turn."

A voice, tinged with morbidity and fanaticism, rang out, like the forked tongue of a snake.

Mebius's figure appeared before the "Gate of Reincarnation".

She looked at the pure souls waiting for reincarnation, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

She stretched out her hands, and countless emerald green "snakes" made of life energy emerged from her palms and coiled around the enormous "Gate of Reincarnation".

"In the name of 'infinity,' I grant you the opportunity to return to life."

With her power infused, the cold "Gate of Reincarnation" seemed to come alive.

The door slowly opened a crack.

Behind the door was not emptiness, but a world full of hope and vitality, composed of the cries of countless newborn babies.

A soul was sucked into the gate and disappeared.

Meanwhile, in a distant corner of the real world, a newborn baby is born.

The cycle of reincarnation has been completed.

……

After the underworld was opened and reincarnation was established, a completely new, complete, and closed-loop ecosystem was fully formed on Douluo Star.

From then on, on this planet, whether human or spirit beast, the souls of the dead will automatically return to the earth's veins, and then, guided by the earth's veins, enter the underworld to wash away their past lives and await reincarnation.

Controlling the underworld and reincarnation is tantamount to fundamentally controlling life and death in this world.

resurrection?

can.

But if you want to resurrect someone, you must first have the ability to snatch that soul from the hands of the goddess of death, the Butterfly.

Then, you also need the ability to bypass the unbreakable cycle system constructed by the entire planet's ley lines, the World Tree, the celestial computer, and several god-level powerhouses.

Even if you manage to do all of this, you will still have to face the final and most terrifying hurdle.

That is, the trial by the Supreme Council of the Star Sea Alliance.

Because, on the very second day after the establishment of the cycle, a brand new and supreme law was written into the Fundamental Law of the Star Sea Alliance:
"Any act of resurrecting the dead without the approval of the Alliance's Supreme Council is considered a trampling on the fundamental laws of the world, a challenge to the Alliance's supreme authority, and the highest level of 'first-degree treason.' Once discovered, regardless of their identity, status, or race, the Alliance will spare no effort and use all its power to completely annihilate them."

The promulgation of this law completely eliminated the chaotic situation of the past, where the boundary between life and death could be broken at will due to the whim of a certain god or the burst of luck of a certain protagonist.

Something like Tang San reviving Xiao Wu is absolutely impossible to happen again under this new world order.

If you're dead, you're dead.

Without the permission of the Star Alliance, the only and final destination for all life is to obediently queue up for reincarnation.

Lu Jingming not only unified the kingdom of the living, but also established an eternal and orderly kingdom for the dead.

Time is the most impartial yet most ruthless measure in the universe.

After the city of Haiyuan rose into the sky, the underworld was established, and the cycle of reincarnation came to an end, several more years passed in the blink of an eye.

For those who experienced the wars and conflicts of the old era, these past few years have been like a bizarre yet incredibly real dream.

The change is comprehensive, profound, and earth-shattering.

In the old days, even a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level would need several months or even longer to travel from one end of the continent to the other.

Today, the global maglev rail network allows anyone to reach any major city on the planet within 24 hours.

Those teleportation stations, which combine soul-guided technology and space technology, have shortened the distance of tens of millions of miles to just a few minutes.

Ocean City, the Alliance headquarters suspended in the sky, has become the ultimate hub of the global transportation network, handling hundreds of millions of people and goods every day, like a tireless and powerful heart of this planet.

In the old days, the fate of ordinary people was like that of duckweed drifting in the wind.

A sudden blizzard or a prolonged drought could cause tens of thousands of people to freeze or starve to death.

Now, with the technological support of Black Tower and Ruan Mei, a global "ecological regulation system" has been established.

It can precisely regulate the temperature, humidity, and rainfall in each area, nipping severe weather in the bud.

Automated ecological farms around the world, managed by the artificial intelligence "Hatsune Miku," can produce enough food to feed ten times the current total population.

Hunger and cold, these two ghosts that have plagued human civilization for tens of thousands of years, have been completely swept into the dustbin of history.

In the old days, there was an insurmountable chasm between nobles and commoners.

The nobles possessed knowledge, power, and strength. They treated commoners like dirt, oppressing and killing them at will without any consequences.

Now, under the supreme fundamental law promulgated by the Star Alliance, the idea that all people are born equal is no longer an empty slogan.

In its first year of existence, the Star Alliance abolished the slave system that had existed for ten thousand years with overwhelming force.

All the enslaved were freed and funded by the Union to provide them with education, shelter, and employment so that they could reintegrate into society.

Immediately following this, a global land and asset reform began.

All the hereditary lands and privileges of the old nobility were brought under the control of the alliance.

After rigorous review and liquidation, part of their assets were used as retirement funds for their family's past contributions, while the rest were entirely invested in public welfare and infrastructure.

Of course, the league did not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach.

For individuals and families who have distinguished themselves in war or made outstanding contributions in fields such as science, technology, and culture, the Alliance will bestow upon them new, prestigious Starship titles. (End of Chapter)
