Douluo: The Dragon King's Descent of the Gods

"Senior brother, we're too late. They managed to rescue the Titan Ape."

"Yes, we are late, but this is exactly the result we wanted to see. Everything is going according to His Majesty the God."

"They're going all out, should we watch it?"

"No need. The Titan Ape is, after all, a god. Even though it has just been unsealed and its strength is only a fraction of what it once was, it can still unleash god-level power if it fights to the death. It's understandable that they see our reluctance to pursue it out of fear of that."

In a corner of the rocky cave, two men stood side by side. Both of them had gray hair. One was exceptionally handsome, while the other had an ordinary but slightly delicate appearance.

"They were in a hurry to leave and failed to take the sealed items that were sealed away by the Jade Statue. Our mission is to bring these sealed items back to our teacher."

The speaker was that incomparably handsome man.

His name is Harosa, his martial soul is the Hades Sword, his title is "Holy Hades", he has the cultivation of a quasi-god at the peak, and he is the personal disciple of Ilex.

The man next to him, who has a rather delicate appearance, is named Guan Pingyuan. His martial soul is Blood Demon, his title is "Holy Soul," and he is at the peak of demigod cultivation. He is the second disciple personally taught by Ilex.

Harosa stepped forward, holding an ancient token, and stored the jade golem that had been frozen in place inside his inner space. His gray eyes took one last look at the rock cave that had been destroyed and riddled with holes before he left with his junior brother.

…………

In the mysterious space, Meng Xinghe sat in the head seat.

This is a sky, or more precisely, an endless nebula in the cosmos.

Nebulae flow like water, dotted with dazzling stars, some small and some large, some dark and some light, some floating on the surface, some hidden deep within.

In front of Meng Xinghe was a long marble table, with rows of high-backed stone chairs on either side. At the end of the long table opposite him was another similar seat.

At this moment, some of these high-backed chairs were occupied, while others remained vacant.

"Alright, it seems everyone who had time to attend the meeting tonight has arrived. Let's not wait any longer and begin."

Meng Xinghe placed his hands on the table, interlaced his fingers, and looked at the kind-looking, white-haired old man sitting at the head of the table on the left.

"Old Yi, how's the 'luring the snake out' plan going?"

Electrolux glanced at Meng Xinghe, who was seated at the head of the table, nodded slightly, and spoke in a steady tone:

"Everything is going well so far. Just tonight, Shrek Academy successfully rescued the Titan Giant Ape that was sealed beneath the Earth Ape Mountain Range. The three quasi-divine artifacts that sealed the Titan Giant Ape—Heavy Prison Peak, Demon Suppression Chain, and Soul Sealing Needle—have also been retrieved."

"For thousands of years, these three quasi-divine artifacts have absorbed the power of the earth's veins and the power of the Titan Ape. They are already on the verge of transformation. If you take action to reshape them, they can be transformed into true divine artifacts."

"In addition, Lu Yue, the Plague Emperor sent by the Wild Holy Spirit Cult, stole the auspicious beast and took two golden apples. He has been suppressed and killed by me and is currently in the process of resurrection."

Lu Yue, also known as the Plague Demon King, is the source of the Plague Martial Soul. He is one of the two chosen ones of destiny created by Tang Hao, the master of the plane. The other one is naturally Harosa.

Harosa was the first chosen one, and his martial soul was the Hades Sword, which possessed the attribute of death.

Death, death.

What's the difference between playing with death in front of Electrolux and showing off your axe skills in front of Guan Yu?

Electrolux approached young Harosa directly, demonstrated his skills briefly, and gained a highly talented disciple.

Tang Hao stomped his foot in anger and revoked Harosa's status as the Chosen One.

His main account was ruined shortly after he created it, before he could even nurture it. So he had to create a new account to continue nurturing it, and that's how Lü Yue came to be.

Lu Yue and Ya Li were contemporaries; one spread plague everywhere, while the other saved lives everywhere. They regarded each other as mortal enemies.

Because of the inherent characteristics of his martial soul, Lu Yue, with his quasi-god cultivation, could not defeat Ya Li, who had a demigod cultivation. However, Lu Yue could also resurrect infinitely. As long as there was still a trace of plague poison in the world, he could return, and Ya Li could not do anything to him.

"Hmm." Meng Xinghe nodded, then turned to look at Di Tian sitting on his right, giving him a questioning look.

"Your Majesty, Heavenly God," Di Tian said respectfully.

"After that attack, the auspicious beast returned to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest with two golden apples. With me and the other ferocious beasts around, those rats won't find an opportunity to strike. There won't be any problems before the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition."

The other ferocious beasts sitting beside Di Tian echoed his sentiments:

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the plan will not falter in the slightest during our operations!"

As a peace ambassador, the auspicious beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion is normally required to frequently attend various events promoting peaceful coexistence between humans and spirit beasts.

However, the attack on the auspicious beast gave her the perfect excuse to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest to recuperate. For a time, those reactionaries who were determined to sow discord between humans and soul beasts could not find a suitable reason to criticize the auspicious beast for not fulfilling its duties as a peace ambassador.

However, the auspicious beast itself was not very happy with this arrangement. Attending various events was tiring, but it allowed it to fly between major cities in the Federation, taste various local delicacies, and visit various scenic spots.

I'm stuck in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, it's so boring.

Although there is the internet, she is an auspicious beast that has lived from ten thousand years ago to the present. She has been playing with the internet for as long as it has existed, and she is already tired of it.

"Hmm." Meng Xinghe nodded, turned to look at a handsome man with sharp eyes and bright eyebrows, and asked:

"What's the situation on the other side of the Abyss?"

"There have been no major developments in recent years, only minor skirmishes. This suggests that a major offensive is brewing."

The handsome man speaking was Blood One of the Blood God Battalion of the Blood God Legion.

The Blood God Legion is an army established by the Douluo Federation to resist the invasion of the Abyss Plane. It is not among the eight major legions, but holds a superior position, second only to the War God Temple in the Federation's military system.

The Blood God Camp is to the Blood God Legion what the Temple of War is to the Federal military—the sharpest blade.

The Blood God Camp has ten Blood Gods, codenamed "Blood" and numbered from one to ten, with the strongest being Blood One.

In the original novel, Xue Yi was Cao Dezhi, the leader of the Tang Clan, but the current Xue Yi is called Ji Juechen!

……

"You are so passionate about the sword, yet you failed to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Don't you feel regret?"

As Ji Juechen approached the newcomer, he said bluntly, "Yes, so would you be willing to fight me and unleash the final brilliance of your swordsmanship in this last moment of your life?"

"Okay, but if I beat you, you have to agree to one condition."

Ji Juechen gripped the meteorite iron sword and solemnly nodded in agreement, "Alright, but I'm about to die. If you win, please state your terms as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll be forced to break my promise."

"Don't worry, I won't let you break your promise."

Meng Xinghe chuckled and pointed a finger to defeat Ji Juechen.

"Now, it's time to state my conditions..."
