Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 252 Old Causes and Effects

However, in the center of this silvery sea of ​​stars, there is a particularly dazzling, even breathtaking, scene.

There, the pure silver representing the origin of the Silver Dragon King and the violent gold representing the origin of the Golden Dragon King merged like two vast galaxies on an unprecedented scale and with unprecedented depth.

They are not simply mixed together, but rather intertwined, with energy particles colliding and combining at the most microscopic level, giving rise to an even more ancient and supreme chaotic radiance.

The entire fusion process appeared grand and harmonious, but in reality, it contained a terrifying power capable of tearing apart galaxies. The terrifying surge of silver, gold, and chaotic divine power within the cave heaven originated from this very place.

Zooming in, we focused on the core area where the chaotic light was most intense. Shockingly, it wasn't empty; instead, three clearly defined figures floated there!

In the center, naturally, was Gu Yuena, her divine consciousness manifested. She still had silver hair and purple eyes, possessing unparalleled beauty. Her body was shrouded in dazzling silver divine light and faintly visible chaotic energy. Her divine consciousness was solid and powerful, like the sole ruler of this world.

Opposite her, two other figures, though somewhat illusory, stubbornly existed.

On the left is a man. He is tall and straight, wearing a magnificent purple divine robe embroidered with countless dark stars and destructive patterns that seem to devour light.

His face was handsome yet possessed a chilling coldness and majesty, and his long, deep purple hair flowed like a destructive waterfall. Most striking were his eyes, with deep purple pupils that seemed to conjure scenes of cosmic collapse and star destruction.

It was none other than the Destruction God King of the Old Douluo God Realm—Zi!

However, his spiritual form was riddled with tiny cracks and its light was dim, far less solid than that of the tongue moon, clearly indicating that he was in an extremely weak state.

On the right is a woman. She wears a light green long dress, the hem of which flows naturally like newly sprouted vines and leaves. Her face is gentle and beautiful, carrying a comforting compassion and maternal glow, and her long, emerald green hair is like a vibrant forest.

Her eyes were a clear, emerald green, as if they held the origin and mystery of all life in the world.

This is the Life God King of the Old Douluo God Realm—Green!

Her condition was similar to that of the God of Destruction; her divine consciousness was shattered, and her green light was faint, like a candle flickering in the wind.

At this moment, the situation appears to be that Gu Yuena is suppressing the two weak and feeble remnant souls opposite her with her absolutely powerful divine sense.

However, Gu Yuena's beautiful face showed no signs of relaxation; instead, it was filled with solemnity, and her silver eyes even held a hint of indescribable anxiety and icy killing intent.

In contrast, the God of Destruction and the God of Life, though their divine consciousness was broken and their aura was weak, had calm and indifferent expressions on their faces, and even a hint of relief and reassurance.

Gu Yuena's cold and majestic voice, like ice striking, echoed at the core of his consciousness: "Destruction, Life, you two have already perished. Now, with only this shattered consciousness clinging to life, will you still stubbornly resist me to the very end?"

She paused slightly, seemingly suppressing her anger, before issuing her final ultimatum: "Considering you two were once pillars of the divine realm, I will grant you one more chance. Cease resistance, and I can help your remnant souls re-enter the cycle of reincarnation, find a good match, and become a carefree, otherworldly couple, continuing your past life's destiny. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction, Purple, and the God of Life, Green, exchanged a glance. In their deep purple eyes and clear green eyes, what appeared simultaneously was not fear or hesitation, but a faint smile and a profound sense of freedom that came from having experienced countless tribulations and seen through life and death.

The God of Destruction, Zi, spoke first. His voice still carried the chilling edge of destruction, but there was no resentment, only calmness: "No need. Silver Dragon King, it is enough that A-Lu and I have survived to this world. It is worthwhile to prevent your perfect fusion of the gold and silver essences before you completely dissipate, and to delay or even interrupt your process of returning to the position of Dragon God."

The Goddess of Life, Green, nestled gently beside Purple. Her voice was soft as water, yet carried an undeniable firmness: "The Dragon God's creation laws were inherently flawed; that unstable madness is imprinted deep within his bloodline. Your forced fusion, even if successful, will only repeat the same mistakes, and may even intensify due to the deeper tyranny accumulated in your brother's essence. Such power is more of a curse than a blessing for all living beings in the universe. Why cling to this, bringing even greater chaos and calamity to this world?"

In Gu Yuena's silver eyes, the last trace of patience vanished completely, and a chilling killing intent spread out as if it were a tangible force, causing the surrounding chaotic air currents to freeze: "Stubborn fools! I—I gave you a chance."

Her response was a long, martyr-like silence from the two god-kings of destruction and life.

They had long been prepared to die, and in their final moments, to prevent (or at least severely interfere with) the birth of a supreme being who could bring about catastrophe in this way was, in their eyes, enough.

Even with Gu Yuena's extraordinary abilities, she could not keep two remnant souls who were determined to die and were already on the verge of complete dissipation alive.

It turns out that the root of this confrontation that transcends time and space can be traced back to the distant past.

When the God of Destruction and the God of Life perished in the great war of the gods, their scattered origins did not completely disappear.

Two of the larger fragments, which contained some of the core laws and faint divine consciousness, did not return to nothingness due to the disturbance of the massive spacetime turbulence that swept through the God Realm. Instead, they were accidentally thrown and ended up in this Dragon Horse Star System.

Because the fragment was relatively large, it barely preserved a trace of the original consciousness (divine awareness) belonging to the two god-kings. However, this divine awareness was too weak and had fallen into slumber, making it almost impossible to manifest or take any initiative.

However, the arrival of Gu Yuena three thousand years ago, and her subsequent grand transformation of the Longma Galaxy involving the fundamental laws, was like a boulder thrown into a still lake, strongly stimulating and "activating" these two dormant fragments of the origin!

Among them, the fragment that carries the divine consciousness and laws of the God of Destruction was accidentally obtained by the Eight-Armed God-Demon Clan, a race in the Dragon-Horse Galaxy that is born to worship power and destruction, in the early years.

Over the long course of time, this race gradually integrated this destructive primal power into their own racial bloodline, which created their terrifying destructive power that struck fear into the hearts of the entire galaxy. The root of this power was none other than the God of Destruction!

The fragment that carried the divine consciousness and laws of the God of Life was more cleverly integrated into the origin of the twin stars (Tianlong Star and Tianma Star) at the core of the Dragon-Horse Galaxy.

It nourishes the stars, catalyzing and nurturing the shared life core of the twin stars—Dragon Heaven Nourishment.

It can be said that the fragments of the Life God King's origin played a crucial catalytic role in the birth of Long Tianyang.

Three thousand years ago, Gu Yuena led the Dragon Clan to descend and sweep across the galaxy. When she suppressed the Eight-Armed Demon Clan, she keenly sensed the familiar aura of the laws belonging to the Destruction God King of the Douluo God Realm within their bloodline power.

Shocked by this, she immediately took the most ruthless measures: capturing and annihilating all the eight-armed demon gods and forcibly extracting and stripping the source of destruction from their bloodline and soul!

Subsequently, during her attempt to transform the Gemini into a dragon paradise by altering its dragon energy, she sensed the familiar fluctuations of the laws belonging to the God of Life within the life core, Long Tianyang.

Gu Yuena's goal is to integrate all the powers that can enhance her in order to complete the return of the Dragon God. Naturally, she will not let go of this precious source that is offered to her, which belongs to the same level as the God King.

However, at this time, Long Tianyang had already developed an independent consciousness and intelligence under the nourishment of the Life God King's origin.

She sees herself as the guardian of the twin stars, how could she sit idly by and watch Gu Yuena refine her and destroy everything she protects?

Thus began a struggle and resistance over the origin of life. The faint divine consciousness of the God of Life, which had been activated, instinctively resisted the fate of being devoured and merged by Gu Yuena, and resonated and united with Long Tianyang's will to a certain extent.

This is the truth behind Gu Yuena's thousand-year seclusion, enduring immense suffering, yet progressing so slowly!

She not only had to suppress and merge the raging Golden Dragon King's origin, but also had to suppress and refine the desperate resistance of the remnants of divine consciousness and laws from the two former God Kings of Destruction and Life!

The tug-of-war between these three wills, all at the level of God-Kings, within her sea of ​​consciousness was far more dangerous than any external enemy challenge.
