Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 257 Preparation

Harosa's light "You can fight" was like a shot of adrenaline in the slightly heavy air.

Although the devastating attack that had just condensed the pinnacle of soul-guided technology did not actually cause any substantial damage to the Dragon-Horse Twins, and was even blocked by the Dragon God Gu Yuena on her own, the gods were not discouraged at all. Instead, they felt an even stronger sense of confidence and fighting spirit.

As long as they can fight, that's enough!

The opponent is the Dragon God! A genuine, top-tier God-King who has just declared himself a god-king in the Star Sea!

With just a single ranged attack, they forced the opponent to defend with all their might and even injured them, even if it was just a minor injury. This is enough to prove that the Samsara God Realm faction has the power to threaten this Dragon God!

This in itself is a huge victory, completely dispelling any potential fears that might have arisen from Gu Yuena's ascension to the Dragon God.

Electrox's soul fire burned steadily in his eye sockets. He looked at Harosa, and although he didn't speak, his slight nod showed his attitude and support.

Other deities, especially those in the battle sequence, had sharp eyes and their divine power was concealed, like a sharp sword about to be drawn.

Their confidence largely stemmed from their absolute trust in Harossa, the god-king. Harossa's confidence, however, was not blind; it was rooted in his unwavering commitment to his own path and his keen insight into the true nature of his enemies.

The brief yet intense process of Gu Yuena resisting the Star Destroyer Cannon had been thoroughly analyzed in Harosa's eyes, which contained the profound meaning of reincarnation.

What he saw was not only Gu Yuena's vast divine power and exquisite application of laws, but also the root of her power—the existence of the Creation Law—a "problem" that perhaps even Gu Yuena herself was unaware of, or that she regarded as an "advantage."

It's so stable, so perfect.

That "Wall of Creation" is so rigorous in its structure, so harmonious in its laws, and so perfectly integrated in its energy flow that it has almost reached a certain theoretical pinnacle.

It incorporates the destructive light of the void, and then, in an almost "programmed" way, mobilizes positive laws such as creation, life, and balance to gradually eliminate, transform, and disperse it.

The entire process was like a precise mathematical derivation, with each step perfectly executed, without any wasted effort or flaws in the rules.

Isn't this a good thing? For the vast majority of laws, stability and perfection are the highest realm that cultivators dream of. Exquisite control over power and flawless harmony of laws represent an extremely high level of control and depth of understanding.

But Harosa discerned a different meaning in it.

"Creation—Creation—" He silently repeated these two words in his heart, the divine runes of reincarnation slowly unfolding deep within his eyes. "What is creation? Is it creating a flawless, eternally unchanging specimen?"

His thoughts seemed to pierce through endless time and space, looking back at the evolution of life on Douluo Star, looking back at the transformation of the Samsara God Realm from deathly silence to vibrant life, and even looking back at the magnificent waves of civilization's rise and fall and the prosperity and decline of species on that blue planet in his memory.

"No, that's not it." He gave his own answer: "Creation is lighting a fire, sowing a seed, and starting a river with infinite possibilities that flows endlessly."

"From its very inception, the world has been filled with chance, conflict, imbalance, and imperfection. It is precisely these imperfections" that drive the world's continuous movement, evolution, breakthroughs, and growth."

"The pursuit of perfection is instinctive, but true vitality lies precisely in that endless pursuit," in that dynamic, dynamic, and often destructive yet rebirth-filled process of "development."

"Gu Yuena's creation law—she shaped this law, representing 'possibility' and 'vitality,' into a perfect result, a fixed form. She locked its upper limit because it was already 'perfect,' needing no further change, no further growth. Such a creation law, while powerful and stable, has lost that most fundamental, savage, and unknown 'creativity.'"

"For the laws of creation, imperfection is far more powerful than perfection!"

In contrast, consider the supreme law of reincarnation that he himself governs. What is reincarnation? It is the alternation of life and death, the cycle of destruction and rebirth, the entanglement and retribution of cause and effect, and the ceaseless flow and transformation of all things in the river of time.

It is never fixed, never perfect; it inherently contains opposition, contradiction, fragmentation, and reconstruction. From the moment he took control of Samsara, Harosa has been exploring its deeper mysteries and perfecting its many facets. His laws are "alive," constantly "growing."

One views the laws as a perfect "endpoint," while the other sees them as a constantly evolving "process." The difference in potential and staying power is immediately apparent.

Therefore, although in terms of the apparent divine power level, Gu Yuena is at the peak of the God King level, while Halosa is only a mid-level God King, Halosa has absolute confidence in the "quality" and "potential" of the laws.

He was confident that he could use his own "imperfect" yet infinitely possible cycle of reincarnation to fight against Gu Yuena's "perfect" but potentially already limited creation!

With his thoughts completely clear, Harosa no longer hesitated. He turned to Electrox beside him, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable resolve: "Gu Yuena, leave her to me."

Then, he looked at Elex and asked, "She has a considerable number of god-level beings under her command—dragons, celestial dragons, pegasus races, and other subordinate races—but she lacks top-tier combat power. Handing them over to you shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Electrox's jaw shrugged slightly, letting out a hoarse yet arrogant chuckle. The Staff of Eternity rested lightly on the air, as if invisible magical ripples spread outwards: "A bunch of rabble, they can't even form a true God-King together. What problems could there be? I'll just stretch my muscles and let these otherworldly beings see what true law magic is all about."

Upon hearing this, Harosa's lips curled into a faint smile, and he said no more. The trust between comrades-in-arms needed no further explanation.

His light swept across all the gods present, his voice clearly reaching each and every soul: "This matter is temporarily settled. Everyone, prepare to evacuate immediately, erasing all traces related to us. Old Yi, the subsequent cleanup and misleading will proceed as we previously agreed, ensuring that this rebellion of the Heavenly Harmony Clan appears perfectly reasonable."

Electrolux nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Harosa didn't linger. With a slight movement, he transformed into an invisible stream of light, piercing through layers of spatial barriers and speeding towards the wormhole connecting the Douluo Galaxy.

The prelude to the war of the gods has begun, and he needs to return to the realm of reincarnation to conduct final mobilization and preparation.

Meanwhile, outside Tianlong Star.

Gu Yuena slowly withdrew her gaze from the direction of the sky and stars. In her chaotic dragon eyes, a cold rage was as cold as ice that had stood for millennia.

She gently raised her hand and wiped away the faint golden divine blood from the corner of her mouth with her fingertips. The movement was elegant, yet it carried a chilling majesty.

This injury was nothing to her, a peak-level God-King; she could recover in a moment by circulating her divine power. What she truly couldn't tolerate was the rage at the severe desecration of her dignity!

She, Gu Yuena, the newly crowned Dragon God, has just proclaimed her supreme existence to the entire Dragon Horse Galaxy, a crucial moment for establishing her authority and unifying forces.

But at this critical moment, the small Tianhe Clan, which depended on the Dragon Clan for survival, actually dared to use such a terrifying weapon to launch a complete and devastating attack on the Dragon-Horse Twins!

If she hadn't noticed the attack in time and blocked it with all her might, the Gemini stars would have been severely damaged, even if they weren't destroyed, and countless dragons and their affiliated races living on them would have died or been injured!

This is no longer a simple provocation; it is the most direct and vicious challenge and trampling of the Dragon God's authority!

"Tianhe Technology—how dare you blaspheme the Dragon God's majesty?!"

The icy words, like the cold wind of midwinter, swept around, sending a chill down the spines of Di Tian, ​​Zi Ji, and other high-ranking members of the dragon clan who had just arrived.

They were equally furious. Their lord had just emerged from seclusion and was already subjected to such a treasonous act. The entire dragon race felt ashamed.

"The Dragon God commands—" Gu Yuena's voice, like a divine decree, resounded in the minds of all the dragons and their subordinate races' leaders, "The Tianhe Clan harbors treacherous intentions, plotting to destroy the foundation of the star system; their crimes are unforgivable! From this day forward, annihilate Tianhe Star, destroying all its technological creations and heritage! This clan shall perish!"

With the order given, the entire dragon war machine instantly sprang into action. The dragon warriors, who had been holding back their anger for a long time, led by Di Tian and others, pounced on Tianhe Star like tigers released from their cages.

What followed was a natural progression. The dragon army easily stormed Tianhe Star, which had lost its high-level command and whose defense system was practically non-existent.

During the suppression, the powerful dragons "naturally" conducted soul searches on some key members of the Tianhe Clan.

The results "clearly" showed that this was indeed a "Dragon Extermination Plan" secretly planned by the Tianhe Clan's high command against the Dragon Clan! They had secretly developed a terrifying weapon called the "Star Destroyer Cannon," attempting to destroy the Dragon Clan's foundation of rule, the Twin Stars of Dragon Horse, in one fell swoop. Even some "plan documents" and "energy activation logs" were "accidentally" discovered and preserved.

The proof is like a mountain!

Gu Yuena looked at the "evidence" presented by Di Tian with a cold gaze, and her last trace of doubt vanished.

She personally took action, unleashing a chaotic dragon's breath that completely wiped out several of the most important technological core bases on Tianhe Star, along with the stubborn remnants of the Tianhe Clan within them, from the planet's surface, turning them into bottomless craters.

Tianhe Star wasn't destroyed, but it was basically rendered useless.

The contingency plan left by Elex worked perfectly. All clues pointed to the "ambition" and "betrayal" of the Tianhe Clan, and the traces of the Samsara God Realm were completely erased, arousing no suspicion from Gu Yuena or the Dragon Clan. This "framing" orchestrated by Harosa and executed by Elex was a complete success.

Douluo Galaxy, the Realm of Reincarnation Gods.

After passing through the stabilized wormhole, Harosa returned to the core temple in almost no time. He did not conceal his presence, so he was immediately detected by Yari, who was constantly monitoring the divine realm.

A warm, vibrant light, brimming with life, flashed by, and Yali appeared in the temple. Looking at the suddenly returned Harossa, her beautiful face first showed surprise, then transformed into concern and a hint of doubt.

"Husband?!" She stepped forward quickly, her golden eyes scrutinizing Harosa as if to confirm his well-being. "Why did you suddenly return? Has something happened at the front lines?"

There was a hint of tension in her voice. After all, Harosa's mission was to investigate an unfamiliar star system with a powerful enemy, and the risks were unknown. His sudden return inevitably made her worried.

Looking at the genuine concern in his wife's eyes, Harosa's stern face softened slightly. He reached out and gently took Yali's soft hand in his, feeling the warmth and vitality emanating from her palm and the faint glow of faith.

"There have indeed been some changes," Harosa said calmly, pulling Yali to sit down on a chair formed naturally from an ancient tree of life. "However, it's not necessarily a bad thing. We may soon be facing a—divine war."

He paused, looking at Ya Li's slightly widened golden eyes, and continued, "Moreover, the opponent is—Gu Yuena. She succeeded, merging with the Golden Dragon King's essence, and is now a true Dragon God, at the peak of the God King realm."

Upon hearing this, Yali's breath hitched slightly. Dragon God! Peak God King! The combination of these two words carried immense pressure.

But seeing Harosa's calm, even resolute, gaze, her panic quickly subsided. She trusted her husband; he would never speak without reason.

"Husband, you—" she began softly, as if to ask something.

Harosa smiled slightly, patted the back of her hand, his eyes deep and confident: "Don't worry, I've seen her fight, I know what I'm doing. This battle is inevitable, but I, a being of the Samsara God Realm, have no fear."

He raised his head, the light seemingly piercing through the dome of the temple, gazing into the endless void, and beyond that void, into the Dragon Horse Galaxy, where war was about to break out.

"Now, it's time to get the entire divine realm moving."

Harosa's words, "Let the entire divine realm move," were no empty boast. He knew that Gu Yuena, whom he was about to face, was a dragon goddess with profound foundations and noble bloodlines. Her peak God-King realm meant that her pure primordial reserves were very likely to far surpass his own, a mid-level God-King. To confront her head-on with divine power was not the act of a wise man.

His advantage lies not in the amount of individual divine power, but in the fact that he is the master of a realm! He is the supreme ruler of the entire Samsara God Realm! The Samsara God Realm is his most solid and largest backing and source of energy.
