Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 137 Return to Douluo Continent

"Give it a try, you can't go wrong." Lang Lei began to channel Honkai energy into the Eye of God, nervously observing the effects.

Nothing unexpected happened; the Honkai energy was clearly of a higher level than elemental power. The elemental power was smoothly eroded by the Honkai energy, though this might also be due to Lang Lei actively coordinating with the elemental power.

The good news is that the Eye of God can actually be used to store Honkai energy!

This is undoubtedly good news for Langley.

So Lang Lei began to confidently pour Honkai energy into the Eye of God, estimating how long it would last as he poured it in.

Finally, Lang Lei concluded that if he were to unleash the Heavenly Fire in its normal state, it should be usable three times.

If it's simply about summoning the Heavenly Fire Judgment for combat, it could probably last for several tens of minutes.

Now, Lang Lei has a basic grasp of Honkai energy, at least he can use it.

As for what kind of energy drives this power...

Soul power, Honkai energy, and even elemental power are all acceptable; the only difference lies in the magnitude of their power and effects.

Just as Lang Lei was about to tell Xiao Aili the good news, a wave of dizziness hit him, and Lang Lei suddenly had a bad feeling.

He had some spatial abilities, so he naturally knew that this was a sign that a change was about to occur in space.

At other times, there would be no problem, but the current situation is not good!

"Host has been in a weakened state for twenty minutes and is about to leave."

"What the hell?" Lang Lei was stunned as he looked at his body, which was gradually becoming transparent.

Given the current situation, it's not hard to guess what this "separation" means. Lang Lei quickly suppressed the surging spatial power around him, at least giving himself time to explain to Xiao Ai Li.

"Brother Du! What's going on?!" Little Ai Li had been keeping an eye on Lang Lei's movements, and as soon as something unusual happened, she ran over.

"Ellie! Don't worry, this is normal," Lang Lei comforted her. "Listen to me..."

"Brother Du is lying! You're practically disappearing!" Little Ellie hugged Lang Lei's increasingly ethereal body.

"Ellie, listen to me, I won't lie to you. Trust me, give me some time, I'll be back soon," Lang Lei promised.

"..."

The next moment, Lang Lei's body disappeared very quickly, leaving behind a dazed and confused little Ellie.

Meanwhile, after a dizzying moment, Lang Lei found himself in a familiar place.

"Brother Lang Lei!" Before Lang Lei could even react, a girl with dark blue hair rushed over.

Lang Lei instinctively hugged the girl in his arms, then came to his senses, pushed her away, and looked at her carefully.

"Seele?" Lang Lei called out tentatively.

"Yes, it's me, Brother Lang Lei. I thought you were going to disappear again!" Xi'er wiped away her tears and said with red eyes.

"Disappeared?" Recalling the previous scene, Lang Lei made a bold guess.

These girls he summoned may very well live in his future, or rather, their past is the future that Lang Lei will face.

Alicia's silence about her future is probably due to her fear of affecting Langley's future.

Lang Lei didn't ask Xi'er what she thought. Since his future self had chosen to keep it a secret, there was no need for him to go against his own past self.

Although Seele looks weak, she is actually very determined.

After chatting with Xier for a while, Lang Lei led her out of the room.

He needs to prepare a new room for Seele; after all, he can't show favoritism.

The difficulty lies in deciding whether to prepare two aspects or just one for Seele.

After all, there's another Seele with a completely opposite personality.

"Seele, why don't you ask if the other Seele should also have her own room?" Lang Lei directly stated his predicament.

"I'll share a room with Seele, you idiot." The next moment, Seele's pupils turned red, and her tone became much firmer.

But why are you scolding me...?

But it was only for a brief moment; the next instant, the frail Seele returned.

"Um... Brother Lang Lei, Seele was also very happy to see you—I mean, the other Seele was also very happy to see you," Seele quickly explained. "She's just... just a little..."

"Shy? Tsundere?"

"Who are you calling arrogant!" Black Seele popped up again.

"So you're admitting you're shy?" Lang Lei joked.

"You bastard... Hmph~" Black Seele snorted and switched White Seele back.

"that……"

"I know, no need to explain further." Lang Lei smiled.

This time, Lang Lei didn't hire a decorator. Instead, he activated the Herrscher of Reason trial card, and in an instant, Seele's room was decorated.

Then, the Herrscher of Reason trial card was quickly deactivated, perfect.

"Was that...the same power as Bronya's?" Seele rarely showed a puzzled expression.

"Hmm, haven't I used it in front of you before?" Lang Lei subtly probed.

"I think I've used it before, but Seele isn't sure." Seele thought for a moment and answered seriously.

Lang Lei nodded and looked at the system function [Past Memories].

The cooldown time is displayed above: one week.

When he used [Past Memories] to enter the Collapsed World, time on the Douluo Continent was most likely in a state of near stillness but not completely stopped flowing.

I wonder what time it is for Xiao Ai Li. If we make her wait too long, Xiao Ai Li will be worried, right?

However, there's not much that can be done at this stage, and Lang Lei can only wait.

Just as Langley and Seele were chatting on the sofa, Alicia came in with little Grey.

Because Seele was sitting on the outer side, Alicia saw Seele with her dark blue hair as soon as she entered the room.

"Oh, another lovely girl~" Alicia's eyes lit up.

However, this put Lang Lei in an awkward position; no matter how you looked at it, it felt strange.

"Sister Alicia, Brother Lang Lei's clothes have changed." Little Gretchen, who had already snuggled into Lang Lei's arms, was the first to notice the change in Lang Lei.

Upon hearing Little Gretchen's words, Alicia looked over and, unusually, paused for a moment in surprise.

The atmosphere in the living room became strange. Seele shrank back and didn't say anything.

After a long while, Alicia chuckled softly and approached Langley.

"Can you tell me?"

"Tell what?" Lang Lei feigned ignorance.

"Naughty~" Alicia tapped Lang Lei's nose. "Just now, Xiao Du must have gone somewhere else, right?"

"Um……"

"So, where did Xiao Du go just now?"

"Your world has seen you...you when you were a child."
