Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 155 begins...

The main text includes a possible author's note upon the product launch.

This book has been under contract for over two months, and its performance is naturally what it is. It's only about to break 5000 favorites on Qidian, while it already has 1 on QQ Reading. Although I don't know which platform has better features, there are still people reading it.

What I can't accept is the huge discrepancy between the ratings on QQ Reading and Qidian. QQ Reading has consistently maintained a rating of around 8 points. Although some people criticize it, there are no outrageous comments like the protagonist being a simp.

I find it hard to understand the dating values ​​of some people nowadays. Of course, I haven't experienced this myself, and even if I had, it wouldn't be a complete picture. Perhaps I'll experience it for myself after junior high.

This book was first published on Qidian. It didn't get promoted in Qidian's first recommendation, and it only got one recommendation on QQ Reading. Although I was very upset, I am also very grateful to everyone on Qidian who still supported me.

Now that it's reached 300,000 words, it's been so long that even if I wanted to keep delaying, the editors couldn't. It might be forced to go on sale after 300,000 words, but I don't know which chapter that will start from.

Someone asked me if I never get angry. A single comment can even drive readership for an entire book; on Qidian, a comment criticizing the book received over a hundred likes. This means I lost at least 100 favorites.

I definitely have a temper, and a bigger one than you think. Sometimes I just want to say to those comments, "Screw you!"

Young people are in the prime of their lives, how can they not be reckless?

But I held back. After all, the most important thing for a newbie is to accumulate experience, and being criticized is actually a good thing. After reading most of the negative comments, some were indeed useless, but some were worth my attention. For example, the comments that pointed out my incorrect forging level were ones I was happy to correct.

However, I cannot deny that my writing skills are lacking, not even reaching the level of a novice author. I am very grateful to my editor; it was she who gave me the opportunity to sign a contract.

If you're one of the first people to read the previous chapters, go back and read them... anyway, a lot of changes have been made.

Here, I want to say something more substantial. Please subscribe on the first day! Some people ask why so many authors ask for first-day subscriptions. It's not just about gaining one more follower. If you get a good first-day subscription, you might get some small recommendations later on, and that's the most important thing!!

Therefore, the initial order is very important.

The road ahead is long; this is both the beginning and the end of this book. There will be countless beginnings and endings to come, and we may experience even more misunderstanding and rejection.

But I firmly believe... that my lofty ambitions... will be realized.

Even if I no longer have that commanding view of all the mountains, I will still make those who criticize me understand who the real "hero" is.

The journey has been long, thank you all for your company. May you have a long and worry-free life ahead, and may your journey be prosperous and successful...

However, as mecha armor developed rapidly and soul beasts could no longer resist, the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda restarted their exploration plan for that underground area.

Using advanced soul-guided detectors, the entire underground landscape was roughly visualized through a 3D model. At that time, the staff made an indescribable discovery: underground lay a massive, rectangular, skeletal structure, resembling a giant monument.

At the same time, thermal imaging technology also emerged in this era. On the skeleton of the dragon, a bright red patch was wrapped around a giant python that was nearly a thousand meters long, winding and coiling.

The escalation of this incident caught the attention of the family that once held power over the Spirit Pagoda. That dragon bone... there must be something strange about it.

Six titled Douluo, one of whom was a four-word Douluo Armor Master. They were only allowed to explore the underground after negotiating with the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

At that time, a major project was undertaken, which the officials of the Spirit Pagoda collectively referred to as "Digging Heaven and Earth," making outstanding contributions to the future development of underground mineral resources.

Among the researchers were the development of an eight-stage drilling rig and an underground elevator for Soul Island—two major breakthroughs. Subsequent inventions led to the development of a nine-stage drilling rig, capable of excavating to depths of 20,000 meters. These achievements made indelible contributions to the study of the underground world, underground minerals, and underground research.

These technologies were later handed over to the Sun and Moon Federation, as an unconditional request.

After descending two thousand meters underground, the world began to open up, and the total area of ​​the entire underground world was close to two thousand square kilometers.

Under their full defensive pressure, the six titled Douluo advanced forward, reaching a point 300 meters from the dragon bone.

Everyone stared in disbelief. What did they see? A thousand-meter-long mandala serpent, its body radiating golden light, its dragon bones constantly emitting an aura that it absorbed.

However, the Mandragora Serpent did not attack, leaving the assembled Title Douluos momentarily at a loss. This defied their expectations and knowledge; could such a long Mandragora Serpent truly be found by such a spirit beast?

It wasn't until the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda gave the order to capture the Datura serpent alive.

Initially, everyone thought that capturing it would be extremely difficult, especially the Mandragora Serpent. This kind of spirit beast was too aggressive. Generally, as soon as you stepped into their territory, you would be attacked immediately. Even if you escaped their territory, you would be chased for a while until you were far away from their territory and the Mandragora Serpent felt threatened, at which point it would stop.

But this datura snake was different. It was very calm. When it was captured by the staff, it did not resist at all. When it was captured, its eyes were still moving. It was hard to imagine what it was thinking at the time.

After some preliminary deduction and measurement, the staff made a surprising discovery: it was a Datura snake, which was nearly 100,000 years old.

How did you do that?

Although the Mandragora Snake is dangerous, it cannot be considered a top-tier soul beast. Its talent ceiling is set at the ten-thousand-year level, and it is impossible for it to break through one hundred thousand years.

The anchor point pointed to the dragon bone, which, after extensive research, revealed that scientists were emitting an aura that could fuel the mutation and evolution of soul beasts. This Mandragora Serpent, having absorbed this dragon bone for countless years, had already completed its bloodline quality evolution and should no longer be called a Mandragora Serpent, but rather a Mandragora Dragon!

However, this type of spirit beast has not been recognized in the Federation's spirit beast records because the Spirit Pagoda has never made it public.

That dragon bone was later sealed away by the Spirit Pagoda and has never appeared in the world. It has nurtured many high-quality soul beasts, especially dragon-type soul spirits. The quality of the Spirit Pagoda has always been the highest.

This is the origin of the mandala snake; no, it should be called a mandala dragon.

Leng Yaozhu stared silently at Gu You on the screen. No matter how many secrets there were, no matter how well they were hidden...
