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

Chapter 65 First Condition

Finally, having sorted everything out, Lang Lei quickly broke free from Gu Yuena's control and regained his usual calm demeanor.

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly in disappointment, and then entered into negotiation mode.

"So, whatever the two conditions you just mentioned, I can agree to them, but on the condition that you will join me in leading the soul beasts to counterattack the God Realm and help me gain control of the God Realm."

"Okay." Lang Lei nodded in agreement; it couldn't be simpler for him.

Gu Yuena was taken aback, not expecting Lang Lei to agree so readily.

That's the realm of gods!

A divine realm with five god-kings!

"Didn't you hear me clearly?" Gu Yuena asked again uncertainly. "I'm talking about the God Realm, the place where Soul Masters go to become gods at level 100. Even Limit Douluo are no different from ants there."

"That's right, I heard you clearly." Lang Lei nodded. "Did you see the video playing on the light screen in the sky a while ago?"

"What video?" Gu Yuena was stunned again. She had been asleep for a while and hadn't seen it.

"It's nothing. You can ask Di Tian and the others later. They definitely have someone, no, a beast that saw it," Lang Lei said. "You just need to know that the world is vast. Even the invincible Dragon God in your mind is actually just so-so."

Gu Yuena knew that Lang Lei must have a big secret, but she really didn't expect that this secret would make him disregard the God Realm.

I hope he's not arrogant...

"Okay, as long as you agree to this condition, I can accept whatever conditions you propose." Gu Yuena nodded.

"Any conditions?" Lang Lei countered.

"Any conditions!" Gu Yuena nodded seriously.

"Alright, firstly, I need you soul beasts to provide me with a large number of soul bones, as many as you can get. There's no age limit, whether it's ten-year soul bones or one hundred-thousand-year soul bones, it's all fine." Lang Lei made his first request, "The more the better, so that I can improve my strength to help you."

"Isn't each Soul Master only allowed to absorb six Soul Bones?" Gu Yuena, who also paid attention to Soul Masters, asked, "Do you have a method to increase your strength using Soul Bones?"

"More or less," Lang Lei nodded.

"You dare to say such things in front of me, the Lord of Soul Beasts? It seems you really have nothing to fear." Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at Lang Lei.

"Aren't we in a cooperative relationship now?" Lang Lei chuckled, then continued, "Lady Gu Yuena, please don't be angry yet. My method isn't random; I guarantee it won't do you or the soul beasts any harm."

Gu Yuena crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Hmph, if we're going to use a soul bone, how could it not be harmful to the soul beast?"

"Let me finish," Lang Lei explained. "Soul beasts also experience birth, aging, sickness, and death, right?" He continued, "While the production of soul bones from low-level soul beasts is related to resentment, battles between soul beasts are common, and many die accidentally. Over the years, the production of soul bones has definitely only increased. Moreover, there's a rule that 100,000-year-old soul beasts are guaranteed to produce soul bones. Over the years, the number of 100,000-year-old soul beasts born in the Star Dou Great Forest must be considerable, right?"

"I've been looking into whether any Soul Masters have found Soul Bones in the Star Dou Great Forest, but I've found almost none. So, I suspect that these Soul Bones were most likely picked up by some people, or rather, beasts?"

"I'm not entirely sure about that, but I can agree to your condition." Gu Yuena nodded in agreement.

"Emperor Heaven!"

Upon Gu Yuena's summons, Di Tian immediately rushed over.

"My lord!" Di Tian bowed his head and bowed respectfully.

Do you have any soul bones preserved from our soul beast race?

"Yes, my lord," Di Tian replied respectfully. "I have specially dispatched soul beasts to collect these things in the Star Dou Great Forest. Although we don't need them, at least they won't increase the combat power of the human side."

"Previously, a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit was in charge of this. After she gave birth, a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape took over. But when I went out to investigate just now, I found that they had disappeared. They may have perished."

"I understand. Are the soul bones still there?" Gu Yuena didn't care about the life or death of the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, after all, far too many things like this had happened over the years.

"They are all here; I have kept them in one place." Di Tian nodded.

"Okay, take him to get it after he leaves here."

"Yes, my lord." Although Di Tian was a little puzzled, he did not hesitate at all in response to Gu Yuena's words. "Then I will take my leave."

"No need. As the current Beast God in public, you should already know something about my deal with him. Just listen here."

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!" Di Tian raised his head excitedly, then froze.

"My lord, why have you transformed into human form? This is not good for your recovery!" Di Tian said anxiously.

"It's alright, it'll only be a little while, it won't make much difference." Gu Yuena waved her hand dismissively.

Seeing this, Di Tian fell silent.

At this moment, Lang Lei was naturally very happy. If he had a large number of soul bones, his second martial soul, Heavenly Fire Judgment, would be able to quickly condense soul rings. In this way, his strength would definitely have a qualitative leap!

"Since you've been so agreeable, I can grant you an extra request: if the opportunity arises, I can help you release the Golden Dragon King," Lang Lei said in a good mood.

"What?!" ×2

"Do you know what you're saying?" Di Tian asked, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"Of course I know. It's just breaking a seal. Whether he can escape or not depends on himself," Lang Lei said nonchalantly.

He is currently at level 46, and can still condense three more soul rings for his second martial soul, Heavenly Fire Judgment. According to the rule that soul rings become stronger with each subsequent ring, the power of Heavenly Fire Judgment will definitely increase exponentially with each ring.

Lang Lei, even without spirit rings, could kill the defenseless Haotian Douluo Tang Hao with his Heavenly Fire Judgment. And with only one spirit ring, he could easily obliterate the 100,000-year-old spirit beast Titan Giant Ape with a single strike using Heavenly Fire at zero rated power. So what if he added three more...?

Its power is absolutely godlike!

Moreover, the second talent skill of Heavenly Fire Judgment has already been partially unlocked, and it will probably be unlocked soon after three more soul rings are added.

Let's review the power of [Limit Release - Heavenly Fire Annihilation]:

Boundary Release - Heavenly Fire Annihilation: When the Heavenly Fire Greatsword is charged to over 150% in its current state, and the user achieves a state of perfect unity with the sword while abandoning emotions, the Heavenly Fire Greatsword will respond to the user's transformed form. The sword undergoes a dramatic change, and the flames transform from orange-yellow to blood-red, as if the incarnation of a god of destruction has descended upon the world. Only the light emitted when a star is destroyed can rival its brilliance, hence the name "Annihilation." Only a body surpassing that of mortals can withstand this boundless destructive power. The Heavenly Fire unleashed in the Heavenly Fire Annihilation state is more than three times stronger than in its normal state. Currently, the flames and light unleashed by this skill can engulf and illuminate the entire Douluo Continent.

It devours and illuminates the entire Douluo Continent...

Such power is probably beyond what Tang San, after becoming a god, could achieve.

Moreover, the power of Boundary Release - Heavenly Fire Annihilation is not constant, but increases with the power of the normal skill Zero Rated Power - Heavenly Fire Unleashed...

As for the harm to oneself...

Based on the experience of the first soul ring of Heavenly Judgment, subsequent soul rings will most likely also have a passive skill that reduces the damage from the backlash suffered by the user, in order to prevent Heavenly Judgment from becoming "Heavenly Judgment self-destruction", so Lang Lei is relatively at ease.

Besides, if he can't run anymore, he can have little Greta carry him.
