Douluo Continent: I Can Summon Heroic Spirits

Chapter 79 Goddess of Life... Gu Yuena?

Ye Chenxing composed himself and summoned his martial spirit.

What he is about to do is summon a Heroic Spirit, which is unlocked at level 30.

Ye Chenxing took a deep breath and took out the Life Gold that served as a catalyst. Although the life force inside had been almost completely absorbed by the Imagination Tree, it was not intended to be used as a catalyst and did not require any material energy. What he valued more was its symbolism.

Then he raised his right hand and began to silently recite in his mind.

"I need a support! I need a healer! Preferably a Life Goddess right away!"

While making a crazy wish in his heart, Ye Chenxing skillfully chanted the obscure summoning incantation.

As the incantation was cast, the intricate summoning runes on the ground began to emit a dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, the entire small plane began to tremble violently, and massive fluctuations of soul power swept around.

The group of fairy herbs below, which had just calmed down, sensed this commotion and hurriedly shrank their leaves back into the soil, trembling with fear.

The summoning circle shone brightly, shooting straight into the sky.

Ye Chenxing stared intently at the center of the magic circle, his hands clasped together, chanting, "Don't deviate! Don't deviate! Don't deviate!"

As if in response to his fervent prayer, a graceful female figure gradually emerged from the dazzling light.

At the same time, an incomparably pure life force swept over us, raising the vitality of the entire demiplane to a new level.

Wow! This is a sure thing!

Feeling the vibrant life surging within the summoning circle, Ye Chenxing smiled with satisfaction.

As the ruler of this plane, he could naturally sense the immense life force of the Servants in the present world with extreme clarity. This pure aura was incomparable to that of the likes of Brigitte and Ari.

He put a lot of thought into this summoning, even incorporating the most sophisticated soul guidance core array from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy into the Heroic Spirit Summoning System.

The light gradually faded, but when the other person's figure was fully revealed, Ye Chenxing's smile froze.

She's not the gentle, older sister figure I'm used to.

A young girl appeared in the formation.

Her long silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her purple eyes held a hint of confusion.

Although her appearance can be described as stunning, she is definitely not a match for the goddess of life.

Whose subordinate is this?

What surprised Ye Chenxing even more was that the other party seemed quite surprised that he had been summoned.

At that moment, the silver-haired girl was staring at his face, frozen in place.

The two of them just stared at each other, wide-eyed.

After a long silence, Ye Chenxing sighed, walked up to the girl, and waved his hand in front of her eyes to break the deadlock.

Hey, stop spacing out.

"Ah—ah?" The girl was slightly startled.

Ye Chenxing: "————"

Oh no, did I invite an idiot here?

"Um, you must be my Heroic Spirit, right? Logically speaking, someone summoned to the mortal world should automatically acquire relevant common sense."

Upon hearing Ye Chenxing's words, the girl seemed to snap out of her daze and composed herself.

"That's right, I am the Servant summoned by you, class Berserker. Nice to meet you, Mastr."

""

Ye Chenxing's eyes immediately became suspicious.

You call this a Berserker?

He seemed to remember that the old man from Einzbern had told him that Berserkers were Servants who went mad, couldn't communicate, and only knew how to scream at the sky.

However, when Qian Renxue and Qian Gu Dongfeng were summoned before, their communication and understanding of reality were both very smooth.

Could it be that the Berserker class's berserk attribute is causing this dazed and silly appearance?

Moreover, what Ye Chenxing wanted to complain about even more was—

Silver hair, purple eyes.

Is this persona similar to someone else's?

If it weren't for the undeniable life force, he would have thought he had brought the Silver Dragon King over. "Come on, let's form a contract first." Ye Chenxing gathered his scattered thoughts.

Once the contract is signed, a glance at the other party's past memories will reveal everything.

He calmly extended his right hand.

The girl was taken aback at first, then stared at Ye Chenxing's hand for a long time before nervously taking it in.

The moment their hands touched, Ye Chenxing felt the scene shift, and his consciousness was instantly pulled into the girl's memories.

When he came to his senses, he felt as if he had entered a dimly lit space.

Where is this place? Ye Chenxing looked left and right, but all around was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, not even a ray of light.

Having found nothing, he simply gave up and stood there waiting for the plot of this memory to unfold.

Then----

An hour has passed.

Ye Chenxing: "————"

Looking at the still unchanged pitch-black space, he was utterly speechless.

No, who's going to watch this? We live in a fast-paced world, you know? Everyone watches short videos!

And even if you're a slow starter, you still need to lay the groundwork, right? Is that really how her memories are?

If he could skip this awful plot, he would have pressed the Skip button until it was worn out.

As if hearing his strong inner desire, a semi-transparent "Skip" button actually appeared in front of him, with a draggable progress bar even attached below it.

Wow, does it have to be this humane?

Ye Chenxing was quite surprised. The evolution of the Imaginary Tree this time was truly unexpected. It could even skip over the Servant's memories on its own.

He was also very glad that he summoned this character after the Imaginary Tree evolved. If it were the previous version that could only be fast-forwarded and not skipped, he probably would have driven himself crazy.

Without further hesitation, Ye Chenxing immediately reached out and dragged the progress bar.

However, after pulling on it, the progress bar didn't budge.

Upon closer inspection, Ye Chenxing realized that it wasn't that the progress bar hadn't moved; it was simply that it was far too long—so long that the amount he had dragged it out didn't show any change in the overall proportions.

Ye Chenxing's eyelids twitched.

Could it be that if the other party has lived for 100,000 years, then the time recorded on this progress bar is 100,000 years?!

Ye Chenxing gritted his teeth and looked straight at the middle! He poked the middle of the progress bar with one finger.

The light and shadow flickered slightly, but before my eyes—it was still completely dark.

"Jump again!" This time, Ye Chenxing completely lost patience and pulled the progress to the very end.

In his view, the essence of the other person's life must have been concentrated in the period before the summoning. If you want to understand a Heroic Spirit's past, just look at her memories before she was summoned, and you'll understand almost everything.

The scene was finally no longer a deathly black void.

As the light and shadow shift, a vibrant lake and lush forest come into view.

Ye Chenxing knew this place all too well. Wasn't this the Lake of Life, the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, which he had visited just a year ago?

Silver hair, purple eyes, he was still in the Lake of Life before he was summoned.

Wow, it really is you!

Ye Chenxing abruptly severed the connection to his consciousness and exited the memory space.

He stared intently at the silver-haired girl before him and blurted out, "You're the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena?!"

A clear look of surprise flashed across the girl's eyes, as if she hadn't expected the other person to recognize her identity so easily, but after a moment, she still nodded hesitantly.

"Then what's with this abundant life force emanating from you?" Ye Chenxing was even more puzzled. "Shouldn't your specialty be the control of various elements?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena was taken aback. She subconsciously raised her hands, trying to mobilize the power within her body.

However, what appeared was not the elemental tide she had anticipated; instead, it was a vast amount of life energy.

"Me—my power?" Gu Yuena's purple eyes were filled with confusion as she stared blankly at her hands.

Ye Chenxing:

No, so you don't know either?

Looking at the Silver Dragon King who was caught in self-doubt, Ye Chenxing knew that it was impossible to rely on this dull-witted Berserker to solve his problems. It seemed that he would have to rely on his own analysis.

Gu Yuena in her Goddess of Life form — in his memory, there was indeed such a form.

During the fourth era of the Warring States period, she separated herself from the Silver Dragon King's bloodline, thus inheriting the authority of the Goddess of Life.

This plot point is quite controversial; even Ye Chenxing, who hasn't watched Douluo Continent IV, is aware of it.

The mechanism of summoning Heroic Spirits is closely related to his understanding.

So there is indeed such a version of Gu Yuena, who can be summoned as the goddess of life.

But the Gu Yuena in front of her clearly didn't even understand the situation herself.

Furthermore, in the flashback scene, she was perfectly fine at the bottom of the Lake of Life one moment, and then she was pulled over the next, which clearly indicates that this was not during the Battle of the Fourth Era.

In other words, this is still the original Silver Dragon King in the current timeline. However, due to the special rules of Heroic Spirit Summoning, the "Goddess of Life" aspect that she may reach in the future has been extracted, and this specific form has been materialized as a Seryant.

As for why he was able to summon her so accurately—

The problem is most likely with that piece of living gold.

Ye Chenxing chuckled inwardly, wondering what kind of interesting expression Gu Yuena would have if she knew that she was only brought in to work because of the piece of Life Gold she had given away.

However, on the other hand—

How is the Star Dou Great Forest now?

If Di Tian discovered that his master had run away from home, wouldn't he be so anxious that he would turn the Star Dou Great Forest upside down by now?

And if I see Di Tian again in the future, how am I supposed to explain this to him?

Your Lord, very useful (referring to the skill).

While pondering this, Ye Chenxing took the opportunity to check what abilities Gu Yuena could grant him.

Although she is considered a second-generation goddess of life, she still possesses the authority of a true god-king, and she will certainly not disappoint him.

However, to Ye Chenxing's surprise, the Goddess of Life didn't have many side moves.

Although the quantity is small, the effect is extremely powerful, increasing lifespan and healing the source. As long as his level is up to par, there is almost no injury in this world that the Goddess of Life's abilities cannot heal.

Ye Chenxing then turned his attention to Gu Yuena's inherent passive ability as a Heroic Spirit.

Soon, a brightly colored entry caught his eye.

Berserk [Love] EX

Originally, it was a skill that enhanced abilities at the cost of rationality.

Gu Yuena, the most famous love-obsessed person on the Love Continent, was given the ability to go berserk [Love].

While retaining her rationality, she greatly amplified her romantic tendencies.

They are willing to eliminate anything or be crazy about protecting what they love.

She talks about legitimate love, but in reality, she can ignore everything and tolerate any behavior for the sake of love—in other words, she is mentally unstable.

However, because this anomaly is not noticeable from the outside, she is quite different from other Berserkers.

So, this is considered a Berserker?

If this is a Douluo Continent-style version of a love-obsessed character, then it certainly deserves the word "crazy".

After realizing the other party's almost specialized class attributes, Ye Chenxing's gaze towards Gu Yuena became strange.

The man who was famously obsessed with love in the original work is now further amplified by the berserk [Love] buff —

Imaginary Tree, what kind of monster are you trying to create?!

Fortunately, the silver-haired girl in front of him seemed to be normal at the moment, showing no signs of going crazy.

Except for one thing, she didn't know why, but she always stared straight at him.

Feeling a little uneasy under his gaze, Ye Chenxing subconsciously touched her cheek and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Um—is there something on my face?"

Gu Yuena gently shook her head, but her eyes, as clear as amethyst, remained fixed on him without blinking.

What is she trying to do?!

He coughed twice and reached out to pick up the piece of living gold.

"Well, speaking of which, I have to thank you for this piece of Living Gold you gave me. It was through this that I was able to summon you into the world as a Heroic Spirit."

Ye Chenxing slowly said, "Your current life attribute, gained through the summoning, is likely thanks to me. Although you have temporarily lost your once-proud elemental control ability as a price, this may not necessarily be a bad thing."

"At least, the sword wound you sustained from the Asura God's strike back then should have completely disappeared by now, right?"

"How do you feel? You must not have felt the pain of that sword wound for countless millennia."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena lowered her eyes and her gaze fell on the piece of living gold.

After examining it carefully for a moment, she spoke softly in a voice that was both cool and complex: "Yes—this is a gift for you. I really didn't expect it."

Then, she raised her gaze again, looking intently at Ye Chenxing: "That's right, I really haven't experienced this for countless millennia. Thank you."

Hearing this calm thank you, Ye Chenxing breathed a long sigh of relief.

Phew, the communication seems perfectly normal, the logic is clear, and the emotions are stable.

The reason you were staring blankly at yourself just now was probably because you had just been pulled over by the summoning system and hadn't fully adapted to the current situation yet.

As for the exact trigger mechanism of that outrageous berserk [Love], he had no idea for the time being.

Logically speaking, the legend of Gu Yuena's love-struck mind must originate from Tang Wulin in the original work.

But that kid is still a part of Buddha Tang... or maybe he hasn't even been born yet!

Eliminate, eliminate.

Does this mean that her berserk ability will only truly take effect once she falls in love?
