Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 209 The Root Cause of the Decline of Douluo Continent!

Upon hearing the name "Huo Yuhao," the Ice Emperor, who had maintained a dignified and aloof expression, suddenly darkened her face, but still reluctantly nodded.

Bai Xiuxiu, completely oblivious to this, asked with a curious look, "Lord Hyotei! What's the God Realm like?"

"Are there grand palaces floating in the sky everywhere?"

"Are there many good places to eat and fun things to do there?"

"Will the gods of the divine realm hunt us soul beasts?"

Hyotei fell silent as they watched Shiro Shushu, who was acting like a curious child.

My vision gradually lost focus, drifting into distant memories.

Back then, before Huo Yuhao was about to ascend to the God Realm, she, like Bai Xiuxiu, was full of naive fantasies about the God Realm.

At that time, she believed that the God Realm was a more expansive, purer, and fairer existence than Douluo Continent, a world where all life could live in harmony and happiness.

However, reality dealt her two harsh blows.

The God Realm and Douluo Continent are essentially no different.

The so-called gods scheme and fight among themselves for power and strength.

As for soul beasts?

Even with the protection of Huo Yuhao, the newly ascended god, they still couldn't escape being scrutinized with arrogance and prejudice.

The word "beast" won't disappear into thin air just because they ascend or become stronger.

Seeing that Hyotei remained silent, Bai Xiuxiu's initial excitement gradually cooled, and she tentatively asked in a low voice, "Lord Hyotei—?"

Hyotei slowly snapped out of her reverie, a rare gentleness appearing in her eyes as she looked at Bai Xiuxiu. "Little shark, the God Realm—is not as wonderful as you think."

"It's not much different there from Douluo Continent; the strong are still respected."

Hyotei's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Bai Xiuxiu's longing for the divine realm.

"Oh~"

Bai Xiuxiu lowered her head in disappointment, gave a soft reply, and did not express any surprise or ask any further questions.

Seeing the two suddenly become sentimental, Su Mo suddenly interjected, "Can you take us to find your people now?"

"sure!"

Bai Xiuxiu proudly raised its dorsal fin and readily agreed.

After confirming Hyotei's identity, she instinctively categorized Su Mo into the "Sea God camp." Since he was one of her own, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Hyotei!"

Su Mo called out to Hyotei softly.

Hyotei raised his head, his eyes regaining their usual expression. With a wave of his hand, the surrounding space spun around him.

The next second, they appeared out of thin air on the coastline of Donghai City.

Night had already enveloped the entire sea.

The deep blue sea shimmered under the moonlight, like countless pieces of silver scattered on the water.

The sound of the tide was clearer in the quiet night, and occasionally seabirds would fly by in the darkness, leaving behind brief and melodious cries.

"The sea!! I'm finally back!!"

As soon as the white fish touched the seawater, it excitedly leaped up and rolled around, stirring up circles of silvery-white water.

Under the night sky, the white swoosh resembled a small white swordfish draped in starlight, darting back and forth across the sea, its tail fin cutting through the water and leaving trails of flowing light.

Looking at Bai Xiuxiu, who was running wild like a runaway horse, Su Mo smiled but didn't say anything.

She quietly changed into a light blue fur coat, then took out a three-eyed fox mask from her bracelet and put it on her face.

Bathed in the pale silver moonlight, Su Mo exuded an aura of mystery and danger.

Seeing Su Mo, who was wrapped up tightly, Bai Xiuxiu poked her head out of the water and asked somewhat shyly, "Um—I don't think I know your name yet?"

"Menma!"

Su Mo answered without hesitation.

Hyotei, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Su Mo's nonchalant remarks.

Su Mo is simply inhuman; he even managed to fool someone as naive and innocent as Bai Xiuxiu.

Su Mo noticed Hyotei's gaze and rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.

If only the Ice Emperor were even slightly more reliable, he could have notified him in advance so that he could use his transformation technique to imitate Huo Yuhao.

They've probably already arrived at the Great White Shark Clan's residence; there's no need for them to dawdle like this.

"Menma, Hyotei-sama, please get in, I'll take you to my house!"

Bai Xiuxiu bowed and extended an invitation to Su Mo and Bingdi.

At this moment, Bai Xiuxiu was already fantasizing about the envious looks she would receive after driving Su Mo and Bingdi back to her clan.

From now on, she will be the second person in the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, besides her mother, to have a connection with the God Realm.

"???"

Seeing Bai Xiuxiu suddenly grinning uncontrollably, Su Mo reached out and patted her big head, urging her impatiently, "Stop grinning like an idiot! It's time to go!"

"Oh, oh oh!"

Bai Xiuxiu nodded quickly, "Hold on tight, I'm off!"

The next second, Bai Xiuxiu took a deep breath, and then the whole shark mustered all its strength to carry Su Mo and Bingdi, rushing into the dark and deep ocean like a white lightning bolt.

With Bai Xiuxiu driving at full speed, Su Mo and his group quickly entered the deep sea area.

"Su Mo, I have a feeling something's off about this area of ​​the sea?"

Looking at the pitch-black sea around him, Hyotei frowned subconsciously.

When she was hunting in the Qianhai area before, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the sea.

The sense of disharmony was so slight that it was negligible, so she didn't pay it any mind.

But now that we've arrived in the deep sea, that sense of disharmony is becoming increasingly intense.

"Something's not right?"

"I didn't sense anything unusual."

Su Mo didn't dare to delay and immediately asked.

Even Bai Xiuxiu slowed down and looked at Hyotei with curiosity.

She didn't understand why Hyotei would say such a thing, since this sea area was exactly the same as before in her perception, without any difference.

After hesitating for a moment, Bingdi expressed her feelings, "I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but I have a feeling that we've left Douluo Star and gone to another dimension."

"What is Douluo Star?"

As a sea spirit beast, Bai Xiuxiu had limited knowledge and could not understand the meaning behind Bingdi's words at all.

Su Mo rubbed his mask in his hands and nodded in agreement.

"You're right, we have indeed traveled to another dimension, but we're still on Douluo Star."

""

"???"

Hyotei looked completely bewildered, not understanding what Su Mo meant.

Su Mo patiently explained, "I forgot to tell you before, because of Tang San's suppression, the ocean in the Douluo plane has separated from the Douluo plane and become an independent existence."

No sooner had Su Mo finished speaking than a gasp rang out.

However, the exclamation did not come from the Ice Emperor, but from the Snow Emperor, who had remained silent inside Su Mo's body.

Inside the sealed space, Xue Di couldn't care less about being sullen anymore and asked anxiously, "Su Mo, are you sure?"

'

"You've finally decided to speak!"

Su Mo gave Xue Di a sarcastic remark.

Since accidentally sharing her senses with Yuki, Yuki has never spoken to her again.

Xue Di blushed slightly, then asked seriously, "Are you sure the ocean has separated from Douluo Continent?"

Su Mo nodded. "Of course, the Spirit of the Plane told me this personally!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Di's face immediately darkened.

Tang San was far more ruthless than she had imagined.

Looking at Xue Di's serious expression, Su Mo roughly knew what she was thinking.

Everyone believed that the decline of the Douluo Continent's original state was due to humanity's overexploitation.

In fact, the decline of the Douluo Continent has absolutely nothing to do with humanity's overexploitation.

The fundamental reason for the decline of the Douluo plane's origin is that those three scoundrels, Tang San, separated the ocean from the Douluo plane.

It's important to know that the ocean in the Douluo plane occupies 72% of the entire plane's area and is the cornerstone of the Douluo plane's ecosystem cycle.

Tang San, those three scoundrels, for the sake of their own faith and to weaken the power of the plane spirit, directly separated the ocean from the Douluo plane.

Without the ocean as its foundation, how can the Douluo Continent continue its cycle?
