Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 268 The Soul of the Dragon God Enters My Cycle of Reincarnation

That thought, which came without any warning and seemed to originate from the end of countless reincarnations, pierced the deepest part of Gu Yuena's dragon soul like an ice pick, causing her enormous and solid soul to tremble violently involuntarily!

This sound—did not come from the outer starry sky, but from within her own sea of ​​consciousness! Right there in the core area of ​​her soul, which she was so proud of and where the creation scene was undergoing its final evolution!

How is this possible?!

Her sea of ​​consciousness is the absolute domain of her will and laws, the source of her simulation, deduction, and even the induction of the great power of creation!

Everything here, whether it's the separation of earth, water, fire, and wind, or the evolution of life on stars, originates from her dragon god origin and her understanding of the laws of creation. It is a highly condensed manifestation of the laws, a pure "simulation" and "imagery," and is by no means a real world!

It is even more impossible for a true "reincarnation" to exist, a place where external enemies can hide!

However, the voice was crystal clear, carrying an all-knowing indifference as if it had been observing from the sidelines for a long time, unequivocally proclaiming Harosa's existence.

Gu Yuena's dragon soul (if divine consciousness had a physical form, it certainly would at this moment) broke out in a cold sweat. She abruptly immersed all her attention into her own sea of ​​consciousness.

The vast space of the divine soul, where the phenomena of the universe's birth and death were unfolding, had already reached the post-creation stage. The initial vigor and chaos gradually subsided, the laws began to operate stably, the stars followed their orbits, and life proliferated—everything seemed to be on a predetermined path.

However, beneath this seemingly orderly and peaceful scene, a deeper pattern began to quietly emerge.

The river of time flows on and on, and no two flowers can be exactly alike; this is the unique gift bestowed upon us by the Creator.

But on a grander scale, the blooming and withering of flowers, the rise and fall of civilizations, the birth and demise of stars—countless similar "stories" are played out again and again at different times, in different corners, and in different forms.

New life is accompanied by decay, order breeds chaos, and extreme prosperity often harbors the seeds of decline.

This is no longer simply about "creation" and "progress," but has fallen into a grand, seemingly predetermined—

cycle!

Creation gives rise to a starting point and unique possibilities; while the passage of time and the interaction of all things naturally give rise to this cyclical image of "reincarnation"!

This was not something Gu Yuena actively simulated, but rather an inevitable stage that arose spontaneously from her own internal logic after her creation deduction had progressed to a certain point, a stage that even she had not fully comprehended!

Harosa, whose soul should have been returned to its original state by the "Primordial Chaos Light," was now like a detached observer. His will seemed to be integrated into this self-generated image of reincarnation, omnipresent yet untraceable.

He didn't enter Gu Yuena's sea of ​​consciousness because it contained reincarnation, but because—everything around them, including Gu Yuena's sea of ​​consciousness that simulated creation, was already within a grander framework of "reincarnation" in its existence and operation!

He controls reincarnation, and therefore can manifest in all "processes" that contain the meaning of reincarnation! Her sea of ​​consciousness is no exception. "No—!" Gu Yuena's dragon soul roared in shock and anger. She could not accept this subversive understanding! This meant that her most core and most private soul domain was like an undefended garden in front of him!

She reacted immediately, and the vast cosmic scene within her sea of ​​consciousness suddenly changed!

All the stars, life, and laws collapsed and flowed back in an instant, transforming back into a primordial, surging chaos!

In this chaos, an enormous dragon shadow began to appear. It was not her current dragon god soul form, but a more ancient and primordial form that seemed to represent the source of the dragon god's power!

The Dragon God manifests in the heavens and earth!

This is one of her most powerful soul attack techniques, simulating the supreme process of the Dragon God devouring the origin of chaos and continuously strengthening himself!

The chaotic dragon shadow meandered and swam in the churning chaotic energy. With each swing, it devoured a massive amount of chaotic energy. Its body expanded and solidified at a visible speed, and the pressure it emitted was enough to crush any foreign soul that invaded her sea of ​​consciousness!

The deafening ancient dragon roar echoed in the sea of ​​consciousness, carrying an overbearing power that could obliterate the will of all other species!

The chaotic dragon shadow opened its massive maw and devoured the area where Harosa's will manifested. Wherever it passed, even the space of the sea of ​​consciousness seemed to return to chaos.

However, faced with an attack powerful enough to severely damage or even destroy the soul of a god-king of the same level, Harosa's reaction remained a despairing calm.

The all-consuming chaotic dragon shadow, upon touching that area, seemed to pierce through a void, or as if it had crashed into an invisible and intangible barrier that was absolutely insurmountable. It passed through without any hindrance, without causing the slightest ripple or shaking the will of reincarnation.

Harossa's indifferent thoughts resounded once more, carrying a hint of commentary as if he had just witnessed a captivating drama: "I was fortunate enough to witness how the Dragon God drew power from chaos and gradually grew stronger. Unfortunately, this simulated devouring, this control over the inner chaos—is useless to me."

"What?!" Gu Yuena's dragon soul was completely panicked, and a fear originating from the unknown began to spread.

Her two ultimate trump cards—the "Primordial Chaos Light," powerful enough to restore all things to their origin, and the ability to simulate the origin of the Dragon God—

The all-consuming "Dragon God's Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth" is completely ineffective against Harosa?!

This was completely beyond her comprehension! The laws of creation, the cornerstone of the universe, one of the highest-level laws, why would they have no effect on this person?!

"Is it strange?" Haros's voice, like cold threads of fate, coiled around Gu Yuena's terrified soul. "Why is it that your seemingly supreme laws of creation have absolutely no effect on me?"

His voice carried a penetrating compassion and an absolute sense of superiority.

Gu Yuena's soul fluctuated violently, and her out-of-control thoughts surged forth: "No! This is impossible! How can your law—the Law of Reincarnation—surpass the Law of Creation?! The Law of Creation should be the strongest law that constructs everything and gives rise to all things!!"

She couldn't accept that the power she had unleashed at such a great cost, even destroying the Rising Dragon Pillar, was treated like child's play in the eyes of the other party.

Harosa's will seemed to slightly solidify, and the omnipresent feeling subsided a bit, as if it had transformed into a blurry phantom made of reincarnation runes, quietly "watching" Gu Yuena's collapsing dragon god soul.

"Superior? No, you misunderstand." His thoughts were calm and even, yet they carried a deafening power. "It's not that reincarnation is superior to creation. Rather—creation itself is a link in the cycle of reincarnation."

"The universe is not eternal. It has its birth and its death. What you simulate and control may be a point of 'birth,' a moment of 'creation.' But what was the scene before this 'birth'? And where will it lead after this 'birth'?"

"A distant and vague memory tells me—" Harosa's voice seemed to carry a distant echo, as if quoting an ancient truth, "All tangible things will eventually crumble; all sentient beings, no matter how glorious and powerful their souls and spirits were in life, will ultimately—return to the cycle of reincarnation."

His thoughts suddenly sharpened like a knife, pointing directly at Gu Yuena's most vulnerable state: "You say, the strongest Dragon God in the Douluo Universe in the past, now with his dragon soul completely exposed after losing the protection of his divine body—"

Can we resist this—one of the most fundamental destinies of heaven and earth?

Gu Yuena's dragon soul was struck as if by lightning, instantly freezing in place!

She finally understood! From the very beginning, Harossa's goal was crystal clear! He wasn't fixated on destroying her divine body; that was merely a process!

His true purpose, from beginning to end, was to force her to this point—to shatter her dragon god body and completely expose her dragon god soul, exposing it to the starry sky filled with the will of reincarnation, exposing it to—the most direct jurisdiction of the laws of reincarnation!

Without the protection of a divine body, no matter how strong the soul is, it is like a fish out of water, having lost its most important barrier! Reincarnation, however, is the supreme law that has the most direct authority over the soul and consciousness!

"So you—your purpose from the very beginning was—" Gu Yuena's mind trembled, filled with belated fear.

"No." Harosa interrupted her, his tone carrying a faint hint of self-reflection, "At first, I didn't think that far ahead. I simply went with the flow, reacting to each move as it came. It wasn't until your divine body shattered and your dragon soul manifested that I clearly perceived this simplest path to victory—it seems my understanding and application of my own cycle of reincarnation was still insufficient, and I failed to perceive this earlier."

His words, so calm and understated, instilled in Gu Yuena a deeper sense of despair and chill than any boast or sarcasm.

It turns out that the opponent didn't even make any deliberate plans; they simply found a way to completely restrain and even "digest" her during the course of the battle!

An irresistible and indescribable force began to surge in from all directions.

That wasn't an energy surge, but rather some more fundamental "rule" at work.

Gu Yuena felt that her enormous and solid dragon god soul was trembling and shaking uncontrollably! It was not because of fear, but because the "foundation" of its existence was being moved and attracted by a more magnificent law power!

Just like iron filings meeting a magnet, water droplets are about to flow into the ocean!

Her dragon soul is being drawn by the will of the entire cycle of reincarnation, which is about to drag her into the vortex of the ultimate destination of all things!

"No—I am the Dragon God! The Creator! How could I be subject to reincarnation!!" Gu Yuena let out a final, unwilling dragon roar. The chaotic dragon god soul light burned wildly, trying to make a last struggle against the omnipresent pull of reincarnation.

However, in the face of the will that holds one of the fundamental laws of the universe, the resistance of the individual seems so pale and so powerless.

The phantom formed by Harosana's cycle runes simply floated there silently, like a god holding a rack, coldly watching everything.

"Struggle is also part of reincarnation. Rest in peace, Gu Yuena. Your dragon soul will nourish reincarnation—"

A portion of nutrients.
