From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 660 When the stars gather, they become the sun!

Decades ago, a semi-finished technology that could cut off a Soul Master's Soul Rings was exposed by the Technology Chamber of Commerce. Like a cold wave, it swept across the entire Douluo Continent!

Just when Soul Masters were about to descend into self-destruction, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and created Soul Studies. While acknowledging that Soul Masters could have their Soul Rings severed, he spent half his life perfecting the related knowledge and techniques of Soul Master sacrifice, Soul Ring inheritance, and even Soul Ring condensation.

The reason why the God of War Dai Mubai chose to attack the far north in his early years was because at that time, there was not a single decent ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in the Douluo Continent. The soul masters were already on the verge of self-annihilation due to the landmines left for them by the Technological Federation!

It was against this backdrop that Yu Xiaogang, leveraging Shrek Academy's complex "shareholder system," rallied various sects and forces across the continent. Through his connections with the contemporary God of Slaughter and God of War, he amassed the power of an entire continent, founded Soul Studies, and perfected its related technologies. Ultimately, he was elected as the president of Shrek University.

This is why Yu Xiaogang said at the end that although his light was faint, it still illuminated this corner of the land.

When Chen Hong's Black Lotus Soul Eyes met Yu Xiaogang's, a dimensional world with various dazzling lights appeared in his field of vision. A law chain containing deathly power was projected onto Yu Xiaogang's body. One end of the law chain was connected to the void, and the other end was connected to Yu Xiaogang, seemingly trying to drag Yu Xiaogang to a certain place.

"Sorry, the Douluo Realm is not currently under the jurisdiction of the God of Death." The Black Lotus Soul Eyes shifted slightly, and an invisible spiritual flame began to burn directly within Yu Xiaogang's body. At this moment, the chains of law representing death suddenly paused, and within the spiritual flames, a wisp of ethereal and transparent light was dragged out by the laws of death, but it was frozen in place by Chen Hong's Black Lotus Soul Eyes.

"Didn't you say this is a cycle of reincarnation?"

Chen Hong looked at the transparent ball of light that represented Yu Xiaogang's soul, and the black lotus soul eye in his right eye slowly rotated.

"Didn't you proudly establish and perfect the Soul Studies system?"

The transparent ball of light trembled slightly. He, who should have been confused and numb, actually regained a sliver of clarity under the stimulation of the spiritual flames of the Black Lotus Soul Eye!

"So now, why would you choose to die with everything you have, instead of passing it on to a younger version of yourself?"

hum!

As soon as these words were spoken, the transparent ball of light suddenly trembled violently!

What merit does he possess to dare to light up the bright moon with the light of a firefly?

"Whether it's a spark or a firefly's light, they all have their own meaning, don't they? After the sun sets, there are countless stars. Similarly, when the stars come together, they become a new sun."

There's a saying that Yu Xiaogang said very well: "Some things are perhaps a kind of reincarnation."

Chen Hong himself never imagined that the Soul Master Soul Ring technology left behind by the Technological Federation would, like a boomerang, ultimately lead Yu Xiaogang to end his life in a different way.

As the transparent ball of light began to shine, Chen Hong sighed inexplicably in his heart.

Chen Hong actually had more options, but Yu Xiaogang had already chosen his path.

only.

The transparent ball of light transformed into a wisp of firefly light and merged into Chen Hong's radiant moon, revealing Yu Xiaogang's intentions to him.

Perhaps from the moment Soul Studies was founded, Yu Xiaogang had already given his own answer to the question of how to "follow you, become you, and surpass you." Soul Master Sacrifice!

But when this returned youth actually appeared before him, he felt fear.

When the bright moon disappears, fireflies spend their entire lives following it, even sacrificing their lives for it.

But when the real moon appeared before the firefly, the firefly suddenly retreated.

The moon is so bright and clear, what merit do I have to appear before it?

Then, Chen Hong gave his answer: When the sun disperses, it becomes stars, and when the stars gather, they become the sun.

The sacrificial white light couldn't stir up the slightest ripple in front of Chen Hong's bright moon. Chen Hong dispelled the black lotus soul eye in his right eye, glanced at the white-haired old man who was peacefully sleeping with a coral mask in his hand, and then turned and left.

Soon after Chen Hong left, someone noticed that the white-haired old man's life force had faded, and rushed in in a panic. They then relayed the news of the Soul Master's death.

The death of Yu Xiaogang will inevitably cause a stir on the Douluo Continent. Major sects, empires, and even gods will attend the funeral of this "Firefly".

However, these things were no longer Chen Hong's concern. He left Shrek University and Heaven Dou City, then looked at the noble city that had left him with so many memories, smiled, turned north, and disappeared into the vast fertile fields filled with various agricultural soul tools.

The fireflies returned to the bright moon.

And now.

The bright moon must also return to its own starry sky.

The meeting between Chen Hong and Yu Xiaogang can be described as both accidental and inevitable.

Because Chen Hong learned about Yu Xiaogang from Zhao Wuji and knew that the man might be nearing the end of his life, he chose to go south to Tiandou City to see the old man, whom Chen Hong once regarded as "another version of himself," as Yu Xiaogang lay dying.

Without the dimensional star map in his mind and the almost bug-like martial soul power, Chen Hong's future would most likely be like Yu Xiaogang's now. Perhaps better, perhaps worse. But ultimately, Chen Hong grew up watching Yu Xiaogang's mistakes, while Yu Xiaogang spent the rest of his life watching Chen Hong's back. Chen Hong would never repeat the mistakes Yu Xiaogang made, which is why Yu Xiaogang thought Chen Hong was so perfect.

Because of Chen Hong's perfection, a portion of the "fluorescence" comes from Yu Xiaogang himself.

As the saying goes, when the stars gather, they become the sun.

"Sometimes, if you don't try, how will you know where your potential lies?" Chen Hong headed north and disappeared into the snowstorm, while behind him, countless streams of light converged from the north towards Tian Dou City in the south.

Yu Xiaogang transformed all his life's knowledge into the faintest firefly, 'enlightening' Chen Hong and enabling Chen Hong to enter the state of 'comprehension'.

Yu Xiaogang and Chen Hong are so alike that one Yu Xiaogang is equivalent to hundreds of Zhao Wuji.

Chen Hong had plenty of time to take things slowly. So when Yu Xiaogang refused, Chen Hong was not surprised; he always respected the will of others.

Therefore, Chen Hong gave Yu Xiaogang a chance.

Yes, under those circumstances, it was Chen Hong who gave Yu Xiaogang the opportunity to realize all that he had learned in his life.

Chen Hong didn't care about the 'anchor point' in Yu Xiaogang's memories; he simply didn't want to see Yu Xiaogang perish so meaninglessly. This can be seen from the fact that this master of soul studies was able to conceive of the idea of ​​soul master sacrifice and establish a school of thought to regulate this technique.

This master of soul studies devised his own farewell ceremony: his body returns to Death, and his soul returns to the bright moon.

However, this master of soul studies eventually became timid.

But Haoyue eventually acknowledged the light of the fireflies.

And allow the light of the fireflies to illuminate themselves.

That is,

The bright moon acknowledged the firefly's light.

Just like Chen Hong, he acknowledged Yu Xiaogang.
