Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 184 Life Core

Harosa looked down at the simple white robe he was wearing, which was formed from Yali's life force and was utterly out of place with his temperament. His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"snort."

A very soft, cold snort escaped from his nose, and the power of reincarnation around him trembled slightly!

The pristine white robe couldn't even last a moment before it disintegrated silently, as if destroyed at the molecular level by an invisible force, returning to its original form as energy particles and merging into the surrounding aura of reincarnation.

"What level of divine power do you possess that you dare to use it to tailor clothes for me?"

Harosa's tone was flat, yet it carried a critical edge ingrained in his very being. He didn't even bother to look at Yali's instantly furious expression. He simply raised his hand, and pure black and crescent white divine power of reincarnation flowed, intertwined, and shaped on its own, instantly forming a robe on his body that suited his temperament, understated yet luxurious, and exuding endless majesty. The style was ancient and elegant, as if it were meant to be this way.

He then stood up, his posture upright, and his gaze returned to Yali, as if he had merely brushed away a speck of dust.

"It seems your talent is indeed quite good, barely reaching half of my level back then." His tone carried a rare, extremely arrogant "praise".

"To actually be able to comprehend a trace of the true essence of the Law of Creation from the Silver Dragon King, it's not entirely a waste of the opportunity I gave you."

Yali's anger, which had been rising because her clothes were ruined, was choked by his extremely narcissistic and condescending "praise," and a strange feeling arose in her heart—this guy actually had such a face—almost childish and fond of boasting.

However, what Harosa said next instantly captivated her.

"However," he changed his tone, "the life essence within you, containing the very essence of the laws of creation, has already been almost completely 'consumed' by me."

He deliberately emphasized the word "consumption" with a suggestive tone, and seeing that Ya Li's cheeks indeed flushed again, he continued with satisfaction, "But you didn't really lose out. Carefully sense your body and see what good things I've left for you."

The words "inside the body" and "left behind" once again touched Yali's sensitive nerves, but she suppressed her embarrassment and, as instructed, held her breath and focused her mind into her body to carefully examine it.

Divine power flowed, sweeping across her limbs and bones, and finally, her consciousness settled on an area above her lower abdomen and below her divine core.

There, at some unknown time, an extremely small yet impossible-to-ignore presence appeared!

It was a ball of light about the size of a grain of rice, radiating a soft, chaotic color. It was not still, but was pulsating and rotating slightly with an extremely mysterious rhythm, like a sleeping embryo, emitting a faint yet incredibly amazing aura!

This aura was very peculiar, giving Yali two completely different feelings: one was an extremely strong sense of absolute suppression originating from the level of life and the hierarchy of laws, which made her instinctively feel awe and even tremble.

Another kind of feeling was an indescribable intimacy and dependence, as if that thing was a part of her body.

This feeling—it wasn't unfamiliar to her! When she faced the Silver Dragon King, her life law clashed with his creation law, and she had a similar feeling, only it was nowhere near as intense and complex as it was now!

Creation is superior to life, but they belong to the same category, hence there is both suppression and intimacy.

But the aura emanating from this seed is clearly different from the laws of creation! It is more ancient, more primordial, and more—supreme!

"What is this?!" Yali looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and confusion as she gazed at Harosa.

Seeing her surprised expression, Harosa's mischievousness returned. A wicked smile crept across his lips as he deliberately spoke in a casual tone, "Our child, huh? How about it, do you like it?"

"You—you're talking nonsense!!" Yali's face instantly turned as red as a ripe tomato, both ashamed and angry, and she almost jumped up! But for some reason, because of those words, a very subtle, even imperceptible, flutter of emotion flashed through her heart—a flutter that she herself had not even noticed?

"Hahaha!" Harosa seemed quite pleased with her reaction and laughed loudly. "Look how scared you are. It's not so easy for gods to have offspring."

He suppressed his smile, his tone becoming slightly more serious, yet still tinged with amusement: "Within your body lies a seed—well, let's tentatively call it the Law of Creation. It was born from the fusion of our Laws of Creation and Destruction under extremely special conditions. Within it, there may be—mysteries surpassing the current realm of God-Kings."

The laws of creation? Beyond the God-King?

These words struck Yali's heart like a heavy hammer, making her instantly forget her shame and indignation, leaving only boundless shock! She subconsciously looked inward at the tiny seed again, feeling its heart-pounding aura, and finally understood its immense weight!

However, after the great shock, an extremely complex emotion that she herself could not explain quietly spread out—a trace of regret.

And the relief that follows?

She actually felt both lost and relieved because it wasn't a "child" in the real sense?

This extreme inner conflict left her feeling lost and panicked.

Harosa, of course, didn't miss the fascinating changes in her expression, finding it extremely amusing. However, he continued, "However, this thing is very strange. I currently cannot influence it in any way, much less replicate it. Since it has chosen to take root within you, let it remain for now. Perhaps—you might even benefit greatly from it, and who knows, maybe one day you'll grow strong enough to rebel against me?"

He said this with a distinctly mocking tone, as if he didn't care about the possibility at all.

But at this moment, Yali's mind was not on Harosa's teasing at all, nor was she pondering any mystery of surpassing the God King.

A strange sense of despondency enveloped her. She suddenly raised her head, her eyes hardening yet somewhat vacant. Her tone calmed, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible stubbornness: "Alright, I understand. I—I won't resist you anymore. I want to go back to Douluo Continent, I'm going back now."

Harosa was waiting for her to express some shock or greed regarding his "secret beyond the God-King," but he was taken aback by her quick change of topic and her calm reaction. He blurted out, "Hey, this is the possibility of surpassing the God-King! And this is your reaction? Women—are really inexplicable."

Ya Li ignored his complaints and simply repeated, "I want to save the Douluo Plane. This is what I promised you, and also—"

"What I want to do now."

Harosa raised an eyebrow. Although he felt her emotions were a bit strange, Ya Li's initiative to return to Douluo and fulfill her promise was exactly what he wanted. He suppressed that inexplicable feeling and got to the point: "You need to save Douluo and replace that damaged Blue Silver Grass as the new life core, that's a crucial step."

"If it is a naturally born, uninterrupted, healthy plane, then all its operations, including the flow of life, the circulation of energy, and the evolution of rules, are governed by a complete plane will that is spontaneously generated by that plane." This will may or may not have a form; its name is not important.

"But obviously, the current Douluo plane is not like that." Harosa's tone was tinged with sarcasm. "It was forcibly split into two parts by Tang San using his divine authority: the 'Plane Master'—his useless father Tang Hao; and the 'Life Core'—originally intended for his grass mother Ah Yin."

"Since there is no longer the overall coordination and obstruction of the complete plane's will, then theoretically, becoming a new life core is not too difficult."

"The simplest and most direct standard is to control more than 50% of the life energy in this plane! Of course, the higher the percentage you control, the greater your chances of success, and the smoother and more thorough your integration with the new core will be."
