Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 502 The Grand Plan of Ten Thousand Years is About to Begin

Cai Xukun's soul power has now reached level 94, just one step away from becoming a Super Douluo.

The reason he's going to challenge Blood Nine today is simply because he feels the time is right.

As for when? It was when Tang Wulin arrived at the Blood God Legion.

Having served in the Blood God Legion for five years, Cai Xukun has a pretty good understanding of everything about it.

The Blood God Legion was established 6,300 years ago and has a history of thousands of years. Its purpose is to protect the entire Douluo Continent.

The Tianjin Mountains did not originally belong to the Douluo Continent. Instead, they were brought there by tectonic movements along with the Sun and Moon Continent. In other words, this area originally belonged to the Sun and Moon Continent.

Later, the two continents collided and connected, resulting in the Douluo Continent, which is now almost twice the size of its original size.

It is unknown whether the collision of the two continents caused a distortion of space, but a strange spatial passage appeared in this endless mountain range.

At first, the entrance to the passage was very small, and the Endless Mountains were in a remote location, so no one discovered it.

However, as time went on, the passage grew larger and larger, and creatures from another dimension began to enter the Douluo Continent through this passage. These creatures were called Abyss Creatures.

When the abyssal creatures began to enter the Endless Mountains in large numbers 6,300 years ago and started to migrate outwards, a great catastrophe ensued.

Because this disaster occurred in the remote western part of the continent, where the population is sparse, and because of the Federation's information blockade, very few people knew about it.

The defining characteristics of abyssal creatures are destruction and devouring. They consume all life forms, whether animal or plant, leaving nothing behind, much like locusts. They are filled with madness, and in a very short time, they wiped out all living things within the endless mountain range.

Fortunately, by that time, federal technology had developed to a certain level, and their existence was discovered early, preventing the disaster from spreading to the interior of the continent.

At the time, the Federation mobilized more than two-thirds of its military forces to hunt down these abyssal creatures.

With the combined efforts of Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, Spirit Pagoda, and War God Temple, along with eleven mecha legions from the Federation and countless fixed-position soul-guided cannons, the abyssal creatures were finally driven back into the passage.

More than 200,000 people died in that battle.

The Tang Sect's Douluo Hall Master of that generation perished in a battle against an Abyss Plane Emperor; four of the Shrek Seven Devils also fell; ten of the eighteen War Gods of the War God Hall perished; three of the four Spirit Transmission Masters of the Spirit Transmission Tower died; and of the three Hall Masters, one died and two were seriously injured. It was an extremely tragic event.

After suffering heavy casualties, the abyssal creatures were driven back and returned to their original plane.

Since then, our ancestors forcibly sealed the abyss passage. Although they were not able to completely seal it off, it has become very difficult for abyss creatures of Super Douluo rank or higher to cross the passage.

The Blood God Legion was also established at that time. Initiated by four major organizations, it had only one purpose: to protect the passage and prevent the abyssal creatures from descending again.

To join the Blood God Legion, one must first raise their cultivation level to at least the fourth ring. The fourth ring Soul Master is the entry threshold for the Blood God Legion.

Let alone in the military, even the most demanding sects wouldn't have such requirements. Furthermore, they can't be pure Soul Master instructors; they must be Soul Masters.

In battles against abyssal creatures, weapons are often just supplementary; if one's own strength is insufficient, it is simply impossible to sustain a continuous fight.

Fighting for extended periods on the plateau in icy and snowy conditions is an immense test of a soldier's strength and willpower.

Therefore, although less than half of the people here can retire smoothly, in reality, many others are eliminated early because they cannot mentally cope.

Elimination and retirement are different. Officers who retire from the Blood God Legion are the most sought-after talents by all military regions, while those who are eliminated are not qualified to say that they have ever served in the Blood God Legion.

Five to ten years is a very long time in a lifetime.

Many prominent families go to great lengths to send their most talented members to the Blood God Legion, with the sole purpose of using this time to hone their younger generations. Those who successfully complete this period of service are likely to become pillars of their families in the future.

Currently, within the Federal Military, many of the high-ranking military leaders, whether hawks or doves, are former members of the Blood God Legion. While the current Federal Chief of the Military has never served in the Blood God Legion, his son is.

The Blood God Legion could be considered another cradle of the military's high command. Of course, that's assuming they can return alive.

The Blood God Legion is called a legion, but in reality, it only has two divisions.

One group is named Blood Master, meaning to fight to the death and never retreat. Blood Masters are mainly responsible for direct combat in battles against abyssal creatures.

The other division is the Divine Division, which is a special forces division. It includes mecha combat regiments, regiments that specialize in controlling heavy weapons for defense, and various auxiliary combat units.

Although the entire corps only has two divisions, each division has five regiments, making it a sort of independent division.

Although it may not seem like a large number of people, the Blood God Legion actually has a total of 25,000 people, including combat personnel and support staff. It doesn't have as many as a standard legion, but they are all elites among elites.

Normally, a large legion like the Northern Legion would have at least three corps, totaling around 100,000 men. The fact that the Blood God Legion could form a legion with just over 25,000 men demonstrates its importance and combat capability.

Although their numbers are small, their combat strength is by no means low. Due to the importance of the Abyss Passage, the Federation spares no effort in supplying this place with all kinds of new high-tech weapons.

In terms of equipment, the Blood God Legion's equipment is almost the strongest that humanity currently possesses.

If the current Blood God Legion were to be deployed elsewhere, it could absolutely crush any legion in the Federation. The harsh environment and extensive combat experience here have made this legion truly like a blood god, possessing extremely formidable combat power.

The Blood God Camp, where Cai Xukun was stationed, was the most powerful department of the Blood God Legion, with a total of nine Blood Gods, all of whom were Title Douluo-level cultivators and Three-Word Battle Armor Masters.

In addition to the regimental commander, two deputy regimental commanders, and two division commanders, there are a total of fourteen Title Douluo-level three-word Battle Armor Masters. Besides these, there are also a large number of prospective Blood Gods.

In the Blood God Camp, the leader Zhang Huanyun is a level 98 Super Douluo, and General Xue Yi is an Ultimate Douluo. Both of them are four-word Battle Armor Masters and three-star generals of the Federation.

Blood One, Blood Six, and Blood Seven are members of the Tang Clan.

Blood II, Blood IV, Blood VIII, and Blood IX all originated from the Temple of War.

Blood Three and Blood Five belong to Shrek Academy.

That's right, among the nine Blood Gods, not a single one belongs to their Spirit Pagoda. The other two vice-captains and two division commanders are from aristocratic families.

Within the Blood God Legion, there are many aristocratic families. These families are those whose ancestors served in the army, and their descendants followed suit, passing down the tradition from generation to generation. These families hold very high positions within the Blood God Legion.

Their Spirit Pagoda was in a terrible state. They had quite a few people in the middle ranks, but only one or two in the upper ranks.

There was no other way; after arriving here, Cai Xukun could only rely on his own hard work to make a living.

Only after learning from his subordinates that Tang Wulin had arrived in the Blood God Legion did he decide to defeat Xue Jiu and take his place.

Tang Wulin's arrival means the Abyss Passage will likely become quite lively soon. Naturally, he needs to make plans in advance.

……

The next morning.

Cai Xukun stretched his limbs, walked out of the dormitory, and took the elevator to the main studio of the Blood God Camp.

Blood God 1 and Blood God 3 are present, but the other Blood Gods are absent.

"Senior Xue Yi." Cai Xukun stepped forward and came to Xue Yi.

Xue San held a tray covered with a red cloth.

Xue Yi beckoned to him, signaling Cai Xukun to come closer, and at the same time, lifted the cloth on the tray.

It has a Blood God Ring and two epaulets on it.

The Blood God Ring was gold-red, still adorned with rose patterns, but appeared even more dazzling. And on the two epaulets were gleaming golden general stars. Beside the stars were golden ribbons, each star signifying the rank of Major General!

"I've finally made it through. Even if I have to leave here later, having a military rank is always a good thing," Cai Xukun thought to himself.

Every Blood God is at least a Major General!

Blood One handed him the Blood God Ring, "You can transfer information and enter your information into the new Blood God Ring. As one of the nine Blood Gods, you will have some privileges, which Blood Three will explain to you later what they include and how to use them."

Remember this: while we have privileges, these privileges are meant to help us better fight against the creatures of the abyss, not to be used for personal gain.

As he spoke, Xue removed the colonel's epaulettes from Cai Xukun's shoulders and replaced them with epaulettes bearing the general's star.

"Yes," Cai Xukun replied loudly.

"Very good." Xue Yi said in a deep voice, "Sixty years ago, when the previous Xue Yi handed this position to me, he told me that this place is both lonely and proud. Life is lonely, but the soul is proud!"

"Sixty years later, I wholeheartedly agree with his words. And I am proud of every warrior of the Blood God Legion. Their souls are proud."

"I hope you can also have a proud soul. This is important for your future, and it will also allow you to see the world more clearly."

"Yes! I understand."

Regardless of what he thought in his heart, Cai Xukun had to maintain a good attitude when facing Xue Yi, and naturally agreed with his words repeatedly.

"Then I'll leave the rest to Xue San to explain to you." After saying that, Xue Yi walked away leisurely.

Xue San stepped forward and began to explain to Cai Xukun: "Alright, next I'll tell you about some of the privileges of our Blood God. First of all, as a Blood God, when using merit points to purchase any resources of the legion, we have a 30% discount."

Secondly, as the Blood God, he can arbitrarily mobilize and command units below the regimental level. Blood One can even exercise the power of a legion commander…”

While listening to Xue San recount his privileges, Cai Xukun completed the information conversion of the Blood God Ring. From now on, he was the new Blood Ninth, but who knew how long he could hold that position?

Staying with the Blood God Legion is impossible for him. The only reason he's staying here is to wait for the invasion of the Abyss Plane and then take the opportunity to throw the Time Worm onto an Abyss King.

Over the past five years, Cai Xukun has explored the abyss passage quite a bit. Unfortunately, it was all in vain. The abyss plane is very elusive, with abyssal creatures only occasionally invading on a small scale, so he hasn't found a good opportunity to make a move.

But Tang Wulin's arrival would be different; given his tendency to cause trouble, even if nothing happens now, something will likely happen soon. Tang Hao and A Yin will probably use Tang Wulin as bait to lure the Abyss Saint Lord into making a move.

Yes, Tang Wulin was bait; the Seed of Life within him was the greatest bait for the Abyss Plane.

The energy of the Abyss World exists in a special form, completely different from the elemental energy of heaven and earth on the Douluo Continent. For them, the elemental energy of heaven and earth in the Douluo World can be absorbed and transformed by devouring life forms to strengthen the entire plane.

Based on current exploration, the Abyss Plane doesn't seem to offer anything of value to the Douluo Continent. Otherwise, the Federation might have been able to assemble a large army and launch a war against the Abyss Plane. Without any benefit, the Federation simply left the Blood God Legion to guard the passage.

Of course, this is only the Federation's understanding. Their two powerful backers would never allow the Federation to discover and utilize the energy of the Abyss Dimension.

The energy in the 108th layer of the abyss is conserved. That is to say, in that plane, all the energy has a total amount, which does not change easily. If it decreases, it needs to be replenished by absorbing external energy.

External energy is similar to the life energy in the Douluo Continent. Therefore, after connecting with the Douluo plane, the Abyss has been trying to invade in order to strengthen its overall energy.

In a sense, the Abyss can be imagined as a whole, a complete living organism. The abyssal creatures are merely its individual cells.

Cells die, but their energy is recycled, and new cells are generated. This is the most terrifying aspect of the abyssal creatures. The Federation can defeat them and kill their strongest members, but it cannot completely destroy them.

More than 6,000 years ago, the people of Douluo Continent were able to repel the abyssal creatures and set up the Blood God Array to seal them. It's hard to imagine that there wasn't something fishy going on behind the scenes.

With Tang Wulin's arrival, it signifies the official commencement of that great man's millennia-long plan. Using Tang Wulin as bait, the plan is to lure the Abyss Saint Lord across realms, then kill him to replenish the life energy of the Douluo Continent.
