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

Laguna Hotel

The five-star restaurant, built by Consortium B at great expense in the prime western district of Shrek City, is second only in height to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, the tallest building in Douluo Continent.

The entire hotel resembles a sharp sword piercing the sky, its cold glass curtain walls reflecting dazzling light under the sun, making everyone who passes by look up in awe.

Here, even the most basic ordinary room costs enough for an average person to spend decades' worth of savings in just one night.

As for the VIP suites on the top floor, they are a luxury that only exists in legends and cannot be entered simply by paying money.

At this moment, in the suite on the top floor of the hotel, a slender and tall golden figure stood quietly in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at Shrek Academy in the distance.

As night fell, Shrek Academy, bathed in the warm and solemn golden light of the setting sun, stood in the distance.

The girl's clear eyes held an inescapable melancholy, and her sorrowful gaze seemed to conceal complex emotions that were difficult to describe.

The girl was none other than Di Qiu'er, a genius student from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, known as the "Goddess of Light," ranked first on the continent's genius list, and the goddess in the hearts of countless young soul masters.

Di Qiu'er, at the young age of fifteen, has already reached the Soul Emperor realm.

This time, he came to Shrek City alone to challenge Shrek Academy, defeating them so badly that no one in either the inner or outer academy dared to fight him, creating a legend that countless soul masters could look up to.

At this moment, Di Qiu'er stood calmly by the window, her long eyelashes casting faint shadows in the afterglow of the setting sun. Even through the thick glass, one could feel her sharp and unapproachable aloofness.

Although Di Qiu'er's eyes remained in the direction of Shrek Academy, her thoughts had already drifted far away.

Recalling the face that had made her heart tremble when she saw it today, Di Qiu'er unconsciously clenched her fists.

Di Tian, ​​the man she had always regarded as her father, could no longer hide the marks etched by time on his face.

Once upon a time, Di Tian was a beast god revered by all beasts, looking down on the heavens and dominating all heroes, so full of vigor and ambition.

But now, Di Tian's glory as the Beast God has long since vanished, replaced by deep weariness and confusion, with no trace of his former self remaining.

The culprit behind all of this is none other than himself.

Thinking of this, Di Qiu'er felt a sharp pain in her heart, and a wave of self-reproach surged up from the bottom of her heart.

If she hadn't been so playful and hadn't disobeyed Di Tian's orders to stay in the core area, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.

If she could do it all over again, she would have stayed obediently in the core area that day instead of sneaking out to play.

That way, she wouldn't have met Huo Yuhao, nor would she have sacrificed herself to him.

Without her soul bone that could grant immunity to three mental attacks, Huo Yuhao would have died at the hands of the Evil Emperor, and humanity's soul guidance technology would not have developed so rapidly.

Star Dou Forest would not have become humanity's backyard, the soul beasts would not have become lambs to the slaughter, and Di Tian would not have become what he is now.

She's the one who caused everything to turn out this way; she has to take responsibility for it all.

"Beep beep~"

The sudden sound of the soul-guided communicator in her pocket interrupted Di Qiu'er's complicated thoughts, pulling her back to reality from her self-blame.

Tyrannosaurus Rex Warrior: "You've recognized each other?"

Upon seeing the message from Su Mo, Di Qiu'er's cold expression softened, and she quickly replied, "No! I have no face to see Di Tian and the others until I have atoned for my sins."

"I just felt it was necessary to tell you about this."

"Sigh~"

Looking at the message sent by Di Qiu'er, Su Mo sighed helplessly.

Although it was only a few lines of text, Su Mo could feel the other person's self-blame even through the screen.

This reminded Su Mo of the day he resurrected her using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The girl who was so remorseful and regretful after learning that Star Dou Forest had become humanity's backyard was almost in tears.

If it weren't for her impure body, Su Mo had no doubt that Di Qiu'er could have cried for three days and three nights.

Yes, Di Qiu'er's true identity is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the imperial auspicious beast of the Star Dou Forest ten thousand years ago.

After her resurrection, she abandoned the name that disgusted and shamed her.

The sudden resurrection of someone who has been dead for ten thousand years must be inextricably linked to Su Mo.

However, Su Mo was able to revive Di Qiu'er thanks to Di Tian.

If it weren't for Di Tian, ​​who was a doting father, preserving many of Di Qiu'er's baby teeth that she shed when she was an imperial auspicious beast...

Even with the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he had no way to revive Di Qiu'er, the Imperial Beast.

Back then, after Su Mo awakened her memories of her past life, she took advantage of Di Tian's inattention and stole a baby tooth from a three-eyed golden lion while visiting Di Tian's cave.

"Whether I need it or not, I'll take it first" is Su Mo's consistent code of conduct.

Not to mention that taking the three-eyed golden lion's teeth was just a matter of course.

After transforming and leaving the Star Dou Forest, Su Mo's first experiment was to see if the Impure Earth Reincarnation technique could be used on the Douluo Continent without the Pure Land opened up by the Six Paths Elder.

Impure World Reincarnation is essentially a powerful summoning technique.

By collecting the body tissues of the deceased to establish a contract, the soul of the deceased sleeping in the Pure Land is forcibly summoned into reality.

The problem is that the Douluo Continent doesn't have the Pure Land established by the Six Paths Elder.

However, although Douluo Continent does not have a Pure Land, it does have a Netherworld with the same function as the Pure Land.

At first, Su Mo only tried to revive Di Qiu'er with a "let's give it a shot" attitude.

Su Mo himself wasn't sure whether he could resurrect Di Qiu'er using the Impure World Technique.

Anyway, losing won't be a loss, and winning will be a huge profit.

The conclusion was that even without the Pure Land, the Underworld could still be used for reincarnation in the Impure Land.

Of course, Di Qiu'er's current situation is not just as simple as being resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation.

If Di Qiu'er was merely a reincarnated body, her lifeless and stagnant form would not have been able to deceive the people of Douluo Continent.

The people in Douluo Continent are just brainless, not ignorant.

Therefore, after Su Mo resurrected Di Qiu'er using the Impure World Technique, he used the S-rank forbidden technique of Reincarnation.

That's right, Su Mo also extorted this ninjutsu from Sunagakure by using information about Gaara.

The Reincarnation Technique is a forbidden art developed by Chiyo that involves exchanging life for life. It achieves resurrection by transferring the life of the practitioner to the deceased.

However, since it is a forbidden technique, the Reincarnation Technique must have its own shortcomings.

The drawback of self-reincarnation is that it requires the caster to sacrifice their own life, and the deceased's body must be preserved intact to ensure that the person can live normally after being resurrected.

Both conditions are indispensable, but these two deficiencies are not a big problem for Su Mo, who has mastered both Izanagi and Edo Tensei.

Izanagi can help Su Mo avoid the cost of activating the Reanimation Jutsu, and the Impure World Reincarnation can restore a mutilated corpse.

As for why Su Mo would do this to Di Qiu'er, who was not related to him at all?

Of course, it's because Su Mo needs someone to distract Tang Hao and his wife.

Su Mo didn't want to be in a passive position in this game.

In this game of chess initiated by Tang San, whoever makes the first move is at a disadvantage.

Although it was somewhat despicable to have a girl draw fire for him, Su Mo didn't care.

The one who laughs last in this world is the ultimate winner.
