Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 474 Medusa Martial Soul, Shinra's Contingency Plan

Tang Hao left Shrek City and headed north at high speed. However, he did not expect that the helmet he was looking for was no longer in Chen Haoming's hands, but had been taken away by Long Xiaoyao and brought to the northern icy sea, which was not greatly affected by the Sea God.

After escaping the battlefield, Chen Haoming's thoughts were completely opposite to Tang Hao's. He wanted to quickly travel to the sea area controlled by the Sea God to recover!

Based on information obtained from the heads of other Sea Douluo, this Chen Haoming should be a descendant of the first Sea God. If the battlefield at that time was on the sea, then it would not have been so easy for Yaolong Xiaoyao to defeat him even with poison.

Moreover, apart from the icy sea in the north, the other seas surrounding the Douluo Continent have stopped recognizing the will of the plane in the past ten thousand years and instead recognized Tang San as their master. This is what Tang San did when he stayed on the Douluo plane for a hundred years.

The Douluo plane is the most unique existence among the 108 planes under the God Realm, so its plane will evolved into spiritual consciousness, possessing some intelligence, and it saved Qian Renxue.

Even when Poseidon existed, he had already begun to make some small moves against the sea; that was a story from ancient times.

Then, when he left the Douluo God Realm, he left his plan to Tang San. It was like a great general calling his son to his bedside before he died and saying that he had hidden the plan to defeat the enemy under his pillow. After he died, Tang San could use the plan to defeat the enemy and claim the credit.

In addition, the power of the Sea God was his primary ability, so when he went to the God Realm, Tang San ultimately chose to leave a reputation on the continent in the name of the Sea God.

For a hundred years, the sea firmly believed that Tang San was the true master of the ocean. Only the Ice Sea, because it had been visited by the Ice God, was temporarily spared from such a treacherous attack.

If this continues, and Tang San were to remove the Ice Sea from the control of the plane, the continent's ecosystem would definitely lose its balance.

Once the dimensional consciousness completely loses control over the ocean, the life energy it can mobilize will be greatly reduced, and various problems will arise in controlling and maintaining the ecological balance of the plane.

Chen Haoming is a descendant of the first sea god, so the sea still recognizes him to some extent.

When Tang San is not around, he can also summon a portion of the ocean's power to heal his injuries.

Because he lost a leg and the soul bone in that leg, his cultivation level dropped by ten levels. If he can't get his leg back, he'll be stuck at level eighty-nine for the rest of his life.

Chen Haoming chose the southeastern part of the Shinra Empire, entered the sea, and found a small island with relatively abundant life force to recover.

"Hmm? This island..." He frowned. "Why are there so many laborers and slaves?"

It turns out that Chen Haoming stumbled upon the island where the original Hall Master of the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship resided! It was the same isolated island that Xu Jiujiu had mentioned, the one where Nebula Douluo had been sent before!

"It seems the owner of this island isn't here." Chen Haoming scanned the island with his spiritual power and found that there wasn't any particularly powerful aura. Most of the people there were ordinary people without any cultivation, and only about one-tenth of them had awakened their martial souls.

A strange smile crept across Chen Haoming's lips: "Since that's the case, let's stay here for now... I seem to sense something..."

Meanwhile, the royal family of the Shinra Empire.

Dai Hao was meeting a level 98 Super Douluo, and his eyes couldn't help but stare blankly.

He had been stationed on the western border for a long time and had never met the legendary master of the temple, only the deputy master.

The woman sitting before him sent a slight shiver down his spine. Dai Hao never imagined that the current head of the Hall of Worship, established four thousand years ago, would be a beauty named Ge Hong. Moreover, she possessed a cultivation level of ninety-eight and her martial soul was Medusa!

This lineage is very mysterious. It is said that after the Star Luo royal family changed generations, a new Hall of Worship was established. The lineage of the Hall Master once had some connection with the Star Crown family, but obviously there is not much relationship now.

No wonder their lineage has always remained on the islands and hasn't appeared much on the mainland. The Medusa Martial Soul is far superior to the former Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul; it's said to originate from the bloodline of a third-level deity, the God of Sin, from a very long time ago. If it were to openly appear on the mainland, it would probably be wanted by the authorities long ago.

"What's your name?" Ge Hong asked the old man who had just served her tea and water.

"Your Majesty, my name is Durex," the old man quickly replied, bowing. "This tea is made with spring water from Dragon Spring Mountain in the southern part of the Douling Empire, and it is the highest standard our royal family uses when receiving foreign guests... uh..."

Before he could finish speaking, a snake's tongue wrapped around his neck, and he died.

"Your Majesty! Lord! Why is this happening!" Dai Hao was furious. This Du Leisi was a former member of the White Tiger Duke's household. He had followed Dai Hao in his campaigns and made great contributions. He originally held the title of viscount.

After Dai Hao took office, the old man Du Leisi entered the palace. Since most of the civil officials had been taken to the Star Sea Empire by Xu Jiujiu, this former military general was forced to become a role similar to a chief steward.

"His gaze just now was blasphemous to me." Ge Hong's hair suddenly grew longer, and upon closer inspection, it turned into long, thin venomous snakes that coiled around the already dead Du Leisi, turning him into a pool of blood, which she then absorbed.

"Besides, I don't drink tea." She casually pushed the cup of tea away. "Since you've asked me to come out of seclusion, then you have to do as I say. From now on, prepare a Bloody Mary for me every three days."

The so-called Bloody Mary is actually just like the Killing City from ten thousand years ago, it's all about human blood.

Dai Hao felt a chill run down his spine, but he couldn't refuse. After all, the Divine Luo Empire desperately needed a high-end combat force to bolster its strength. With no other choice, he asked the Palace Master of the Offering Hall to return from the island on the condition that she meet some of her special requests.

"Of course." Dai Hao came to his senses. "I am naturally very grateful that Your Highness could take time out of your busy schedule. However, I am very curious, is that island you are on really a backup plan?"

Ge Hong's eyes turned into eerie vertical pupils, and she nodded slightly: "Since I have promised His Majesty, there is no need for me to hide anything. That island is not close to the coast; in fact, it can be said to extend deep into the ocean."

"And about three thousand years ago, my ancestor, through..."

She glanced at Dai Hao, who immediately understood and dismissed everyone else, leaving only the two of them.

"...Through the Medusa Martial Soul and the subtle connection with the sea, I learned that on the other side of this sea, there exists another continent," Ge Hong said in a soothing voice. "Back then, our ancestors made a pact with the former royal family that if an unavoidable event were to occur in the future, then..."

"The other continent is where we moved to."

Medusa, a third-tier deity and goddess of evil, is mentioned in chapter 1539 of Douluo Continent III, and possesses the divine artifact Soul-Capturing Token. This references a bit of Greek mythology… specifically the relationship between Poseidon and Medusa.

Moreover, given the mess Poseidon made in Douluo Continent, it's hard not to connect these two guys.

This setting is based on the fact that the original text of Douluo Continent II clearly states that the master of the Hall of Offering is the strongest in Star Luo. Add to that the cultivation level of the Immortal Doctor Douluo and the level 97 Tianyang of the Douling Empire, and he is probably a level 98 Super Douluo.

Since there's no direct description, let's set it up this way, using this island as a gateway to the sea for other continents. The storyline about the God of Sin will also be useful later in this text.
