Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 193 Du

Although the courtyard was piled high with snow, there were several springs that did not freeze, with glistening lotus leaves growing there, and the buds just beginning to bloom, rippling with a faint pink glow.

Chen Xuan stood beside a pool of fire, where scalding lava was boiling and extremely hot. In this icy and snowy place, there was actually a pool of lava.

He came to another clear pool and stared wide-eyed. The water was very clear, and there were no carp living in it, but hazy scenes appeared, reflecting many planes of the heavens and the world, which seemed unreal.

In the pool, energy and matter boiled, brushing across scene after scene, shimmering and vivid, as if it were happening right now.

Chen Xuan saw a life-bearing planet that resembled the sun, filled with miraculous herbs. Countless medicinal fields emitted auspicious glows, the miraculous herbs took root, and the exotic fruits were fragrant and colorful, with beams of light spreading outwards.

The sky was filled with a shower of energy and light, a dazzling array of colors. This place was definitely a medicinal garden, where even a single weed contained divine energy and could nurture all sorts of wonders.

Chen Xuan was shocked. Even a fruit growing by the roadside was a rare treasure, more powerful than any immortal herb on the continent. This... was what an immortal herb should be.

As a result, in the pitch-black universe, a vast net descended, like countless sharp blades, slicing and exploding life-bearing planets, destroying them in the blink of an eye into the sea of ​​stars, turning them into a cluster of meteorite zones.

"These are things from the past, things that happened before," the silver-haired woman said, her smile gradually fading, replaced by a serious expression.

Chen Xuan was sweating profusely. Who were these people? Such a large planet was destroyed in the blink of an eye. Just how powerful were the people who did this?

A modern-dressed man with a buzz cut approached and said, "This pool has existed for many eras and was created by that person. It doesn't usually move; it will only be activated by someone with a karmic connection."

"This pool is very spiritual; it won't reflect unrelated past events. These images should be connected to you," the silver-haired woman said.

Chen Xuan turned his head to continue watching. The blurry image in the pool floated, and an extremely huge black shadow appeared, covering the sky and the sun. Its eyes were like two suns.

This being was so enormous, its size comparable to a galaxy. Though separated by endless space and time, the oppressive aura still emanated from the pool, sending chills down everyone's spines.

It squeezed the starry sky, and with each breath, countless starlight entered its mouth and nose, and a sea of ​​stars dimmed in an instant, disappearing into the universe.

On the sea of ​​stars, the fiery sun was also moving slowly, as if it had been watching, and was as if covered by a veil, making it very dark.

"Did this really exist? How could a nobody like me have any connection with such a monster?" Chen Xuan swallowed hard. The vast difference in their levels still sent chills down his spine; they were not even in the same league.

In the sea of ​​stars, there was a giant bird, its entire body red, its red feathers dull and lacking luster, needing to replenish itself by absorbing the light of the sun and moon and the planets to replenish its energy.

Chen Xuan witnessed the planet closest to this creature instantly dimming, losing all its energy, as it drained away special substances.

It wandered through the sea of ​​stars, continuing to approach the next galaxy above, but at that moment, a sudden change occurred in the universe.

Chi!

A dazzling sword light appeared, illuminating the dark sea of ​​stars and cleaving through the cold universe, displaying its brilliance.

A man suddenly appeared, traversing the void of the universe, crossing countless star systems, some extremely far apart, and standing on another sea of ​​stars, he unleashed a terrifying sword strike at this colossal creature.

The sword light, like a dazzling galaxy, was incredibly terrifying. It circled the neck of the enormous creature once, then decapitated it, severing a giant bird's head.

Chen Xuan could only see the person's back, but he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before. He wanted to see the handsome face clearly, but the scene in the pool turned over again, and he could see nothing at all.

The pool water stopped rippling; everything was over, and all was calm.

"No wonder half of your soul could come to this world. It turns out you have some karmic connection with that person." The man with the buzz cut said, leading Chen Xuan into the living room and preparing some food.

Chen Xuan was puzzled. Who was this person the other person was talking about? Judging from the tone of their voice, could it be someone he knew?

He looked back on the past, flipping through faces and backs, but no one on the mainland matched the figure in the pool's reflection.

Chen Xuan stopped thinking about things he couldn't understand, figuring someone would find the answers later.

After taking his seat in the house, he was still drawn to the fruits and dishes on the table. The unknown meats were very colorful and had a fragrant aroma, which was quite tempting.

"Please." The man with the buzz cut gestured for him to enjoy the food.

Chen Xuan suspected that the man and woman likely had a cannibalistic tendency, so he didn't dare to act quickly and remained wary of them.

"Eat without worry, you don't need to be afraid of us." The silver-haired woman chuckled and walked into the house, her movements graceful and elegant. She laughed and said, "This place has been too desolate for thousands of years, and people only come here once every few thousand years. We were just trying to scare you and tease you."

The man with the buzz cut was clean and efficient. He told Chen Xuan directly that the black pot was used to summon souls, and the ingredients thrown in were also ingredients that nourish the soul. It had many benefits and was definitely not some kind of iron pot used to stew people.

Hearing him say this, Chen Xuan truly understood. He felt warm all over, full of energy, and light in spirit. Although he only had half a soul, it was better than a complete soul body.

Initially, he thought it was an effect of the plants in the world behind his heart, but now it seems he misjudged it; the Sharingan and soul power were also brought about by that pot.

"What are your origins? And who is that person? How did I end up here after I died?" Chen Xuan asked, wanting to know the identities of the two.

This place is too fantastical; even a weed in the corner is a powerful medicine, thousands of times more effective than the immortal herbs of Douluo Star.

"You're dead?" The man and woman's pupils contracted slightly as they stared at Chen Xuan in horror, their earlier calm and composure completely gone.

Chen Xuan was bewildered. If he hadn't died, he would still be on Douluo Star. How could all of this have happened?

"You mean you died and didn't break through the dimension?" The silver-haired woman looked at him in surprise, trying to confirm this.

Chen Xuan was confused and bewildered; he couldn't understand a single word Chen Xuan said.

"What plane?" He was stunned. The information revealed in the question was terrifying. Did this mean that all the myriad worlds really exist?

The silver-haired woman's beautiful eyes were bright. She stared at him for a while before gradually regaining her fairy-like demeanor and becoming calm.

Her eyes gleamed with silver light as she said, "There must be something strange about you that saved your life and soul and guided you here."

Chen Xuan was stunned, somewhat incredulous. Did this mean he wasn't dead, but still alive?

He immediately thought of Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, his newborn child, and Chen Yiyi. His loved ones had not left him; he could still go back.

"Seniors, where is this place? Can I go back?" Chen Xuan asked sincerely. He really missed Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing and wanted to go back.

Although he broadened his horizons and saw many things beyond his comprehension after arriving in this secluded place, he still longed for Douluo Star before his death. Moreover, the grudges were not yet settled, and he didn't know if anyone would harm Xiao Wu.

"You can call this a transit point. Our clan stayed here to guide people like you to the real world," the crew-cut man said.

He succinctly informed Chen Xuan of some knowledge: the myriad realms are multi-layered planes, parallel worlds, and are actually just a small corner of the real world.

"The universe you live in was originally a real place, but unfortunately it was interfered with by a dark force and corrupted by demons, becoming half real and half illusory, so let's just call it an illusory place," the man with the buzz cut explained.

Chen Xuan was completely confused. He had only a vague understanding of what a real place was and what an illusory place was, and he couldn't comprehend it.

"To put it simply, using the Bagua diagram of your world, the real world is the yang fish, the illusory world is the yin fish, and our universe is sandwiched in the middle," the silver-haired woman explained in a different way.

Chen Xuan understood some of it, but it felt very distant to him. His immediate priority was to return to that place.

Suddenly, his expression froze, and a bad thought popped into his mind: the so-called time travel was just a conspiracy, and he had been under someone else's surveillance all along, being manipulated at will.

"Seniors, I have lost part of my memory. Do you know where I come from?" Chen Xuan asked tentatively.

The man and woman didn't think much of it, nor did they probe his soul light. The man with the buzz cut said, "You should be one of those who have transmigrated to the myriad worlds. You can find out exactly where you landed by using the ancient banner of your clan."

Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat. These two really knew about time travel. Judging from the current situation, it was very likely a big conspiracy.

He remained calm and asked, "Seniors, what does it mean to be a time traveler? Are there many others like me?"

"Yes, there are many. I would conservatively estimate that there are trillions of people like you." The silver-haired woman took a sip of tea and said, "People like you are all over the universe, entering the myriad worlds and cultivating in different planes. Only one person emerges every few thousand years. It's just that yours is a special case."

"Trillions of people!" Chen Xuan was shocked; the amount of information was too much for him to process.

The two spoke calmly, showing no surprise at the time travel incident, as if they had known about it all along, perhaps even being witnesses or the masterminds behind it!

"We can no longer cultivate here. It was destroyed by the supreme law, and a piece of the ceiling collapsed, making it difficult to break through in one's lifetime. We can only cultivate in the newly opened myriad worlds. You have some luck, so you were chosen, but you are just one in a million." The man with a buzz cut in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt revealed, telling the story of what happened back then.

"That memory dates back to countless eons ago, when the Real Land was invaded by extraterrestrials. The battle was fierce, and countless powerful beings died. Our ancestor perished at that time." The silver-haired woman sighed softly, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Recalling the past, she continued, "Later, that one was born, broke through that small world, returned from the layered planes, and went to the Real Land. He was very strong and killed many top experts in one fell swoop, but he was also injured and disappeared into the river of history. No one can find him."

"Can the world be broken through? What kind of plane is it?" Chen Xuan was surprised and shocked. Moreover, he felt that the small world the other party was talking about was probably even larger than the Milky Way.

The two mentioned that person several times, who seemed to be a supreme being with whom he had some connection. He became somewhat interested in who this person was.

"All those who are sent to the illusory land to cultivate, as long as they break through the shackles of that world and reach a new realm, can cross the critical superimposed plane, break through that universe, and return to the real land."

The silver-haired woman narrowed her beautiful eyes, deep in thought; things from so long ago were somewhat hazy in her memory.

"The place that person is in seems to be Douluo Star," she said vaguely, not quite sure herself.

"Douluo Star?"

Chen Xuan was stunned, his heart filled with shock. Had he heard correctly? That person, like him, had also been a part of the Douluo Continent?

According to this logic, there are countless Douluo Worlds and countless universes, and the place he is in is just one of them?

"Does this mean layered universes and parallel universes? Then, is the place I am in, the people and things, and everything I have experienced real or fake?" Chen Xuan murmured, feeling melancholy.

Everything felt so real that he couldn't believe it—that Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, and all the experiences on the mainland were just a dream.

"Originally, the myriad worlds, the layered planes, and the parallel universes were real. The realms attained through cultivation, the treasures acquired, and the people and things experienced were all truly real. Unfortunately, those places were all interfered with by people from outside the realms and tainted by demons. Even if one was fortunate enough to break through the world, it would be difficult to bring out one's cultivation and abilities in one's lifetime, and the same goes for people." The silver-haired woman's expression turned solemn, and she stopped joking as she recounted a very cruel past.

Whether it's the real world or the illusory world, all universes and realms have been polluted to varying degrees. Only the transit station remains unaffected and isolated.

Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were real, that was fine. He couldn't accept that the past events he had experienced were all illusions. If Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing were fake, then what was the point?

"We stand atop the sea of ​​clouds, seemingly high above, looking down upon all things, but we have a mission to complete and cannot intervene. We are more like a lonely island in the endless sea of ​​time and space, isolated from the world." The silver-haired woman spoke of the past with a somewhat pessimistic expression.

Almost all of their clan perished in battle, leaving few survivors. It was only through His appearance that hope was brought, that they were able to settle down here and recover, while also fulfilling His mission.

"Where has that powerful person you're talking about gone?" Chen Xuan asked.

The silver-haired woman shook her head and sighed. After that battle, he was wounded and traveled far away while recuperating. No one knew where he went.

Some have said that he ventured alone into the outer realms, fought against the supreme experts, and ultimately died in the long river of history.

"You saw his image at the Hidden Pool, which means you have a connection with him. Let me investigate your identity." The man with the buzz cut reached out and touched Chen Xuan's head.

Chen Xuan was unable to resist, as he was bound by some supreme law and could only allow the other party to explore his body.

"I see. No wonder you were able to get here even though you didn't break through the dimensional barrier." The man with the buzz cut withdrew his hand, pondered for a moment, and made a guess in his mind.

"What does that mean?" Chen Xuan was confused. He wanted to know even more why he had come here after death.

The man with the buzz cut said, "You have a black substance stored in the Nine Deaths Fruit Vine within you. It doesn't belong to your world; it comes from the Real Land. It saved your life and is also the raw material for the transit station."

"Nine Deaths Fruit Vine? So that's what it's called?" Chen Xuan was taken aback. After thinking carefully, he realized that the plant growing in the world behind his heart did indeed have nine bright red fruits.

As for the stored substance, he couldn't think of a reason. If there was one, it was that the beautiful woman who was suspected to be Qian Renxue was poisoned by her, but she benefited from the misfortune and the toxins in her body were absorbed by the strange plant.

"It seems that you have met that soulmate in your world."

The silver-haired woman swallowed a plump little cherry and said, "After that person left, one of her confidantes traveled through the myriad realms, searching for talented people and offering them assistance. You should be one of them."

"What confidante? Isn't that woman Qian Renxue?" Chen Xuan didn't believe it; there was no such coincidence.

The silver-haired woman looked at him with a strange expression and said curiously, "You even know this name. No wonder you're related to that person."

Then, she recounted the past. This name was very old; it had been used for a long time. But after the birth of her son, all five of his close female friends changed their names.

Chen Xuan's face twitched, feeling a bit crazy. Was what the other person said true? Could there really be such a coincidence?

He asked directly, "Seniors, what you're describing sounds incredible. Who is that person, and what's their name?"

A man and a woman frowned, deep in thought. After a long sigh, they unconsciously walked into the courtyard, their brows furrowing even more. They searched through their memories but found nothing.

"It's too far in the past to know clearly. It's only mentioned in the ancient texts left by our ancestor. That person's surname was... Du!"
