Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 180 An Unjust Fate? The True Master of the Perilous Land? (3.1k)

"Good news?" Electrolux looked puzzled, staring at Zhu Ziyang with a puzzled expression.

"That's right! It's definitely a good thing!" Zhu Ziyang said with a smile. He jumped off the bed, walked to the window, and found that it was still pitch black outside. He picked up the mirror next to him and looked at the faint red spider lily mark on his forehead in the mirror. He subconsciously mobilized his spiritual sense to detect it, and then the contents of the Death Trial appeared in his mind.

"What is it? Stop keeping me in suspense, my good apprentice. Are you trying to drive this old man crazy?" Electrox looked at Zhu Ziyang, who was just being mysterious and not explaining the reason, and even looked in the mirror. He felt very helpless and aggrieved and said.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, teacher!" Zhu Ziyang realized that his actions were indeed disrespectful to the elderly, so he immediately turned around, looked apologetically at Electrolux, and said, "Actually, my soul just entered a mysterious space, where I received the divine inheritance of a god!"

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Electrox excitedly floated to Zhu Ziyang's side, placed his ethereal hand on Zhu Ziyang's shoulder, and asked, "Is it really a divine inheritance? What kind of god is it?"

"Yes, yes! I'm certain it's the legacy of a god!" Zhu Ziyang nodded with absolute certainty, saying, "That god said He is the god of death!"

"The God of Death?!" Electrox's body trembled, shock flashing in his eyes, then his face lit up with wild joy. He exclaimed, "Hahaha, my judgment was indeed exceptional! Even the God of Death from another world has acknowledged my choice!"

Zhu Ziyang smiled as he watched the incredibly excited Electrolux, not interrupting the old man's outburst and celebration. After a long while, Electrolux finally calmed down, looked at Zhu Ziyang, and asked, "Ziyang, what kind of deity is this God of Death? Compared to the legendary Sea God, who is stronger?"

Upon hearing Electrolux's question, Zhu Ziyang was slightly taken aback. Then he recalled the two unfamiliar divine voices he had heard at the Death God's Inheritance Site. He vaguely heard Tang San's name. Was it that Tang San? A shadow fell over his heart.

Shaking his head, he answered Electrox's question, saying, "Teacher, I don't know either. That god is a fallen god, leaving only his divine position. I only got very little information from the divine position examiner."

"Is it a god who has already fallen?" Electrox was surprised, but then understood and asked, "What did the divine examination officer say?"

"He said that the God of Death is a primordial deity born at the beginning of the world, the controller of the rules of death, and one of the rulers of this star system!" Zhu Ziyang repeated Xiaobai's words.

"A primordial deity born at the beginning of the world? The controller of the rules? The ruler of the starry sky?" Electrox murmured three obscure words, a hint of doubt flashing across his aged face, his eyes filled with contemplation.

"Teacher, have you heard of these words before?" Zhu Ziyang asked Electrolux with anticipation on his face.

"I'm sorry!" Electrox said with a regretful expression, "I've only heard the word 'starry sky,' I've never heard of the other two words."

"I see!" A look of disappointment flashed across Zhu Ziyang's face, but it quickly disappeared. He asked, "Teacher, what does the word 'starry sky' mean?"

"Hehe, speaking of the starry sky, I do know a little about it," Electrox said. "The so-called starry sky is actually the basic building block of the universe, and the opposite of it is the abyss. The world we live in is located in the starry sky. What mortal beings call transcendence is to transcend the mortal world, enter the starry sky, and become gods."

"So, the starry sky is actually the realm of gods?" Zhu Ziyang said thoughtfully.

"That's just a one-sided view," Electrox said. "The starry sky encompasses the realm of gods and all worlds below it. Every starry sky contains countless worlds and a realm of gods. Speaking of which, the Holy Demon Continent where I am, Teacher, is definitely not under the same starry sky as the Douluo Continent. It is said that there are countless abysses and black holes between starry skies. I don't know how I came to this world in the first place."

"Haha, doesn't this just prove that you and I are very destined to be together, teacher?" Zhu Ziyang laughed and said upon hearing this.

"Hahaha, that's the truth!" Electrolux burst into laughter, saying, "Ziyang, meeting you is absolutely the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me, Electrolux!"

"Hehe!" Zhu Ziyang chuckled, returned to bed, and said, "Teacher, let's rest now. We'll start planning the divine position from tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say!" Electrox was in high spirits and drifted back into Zhu Ziyang's spiritual sea.

Zhu Ziyang lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and calmed his agitated emotions. Only after everything quieted down did Zhu Ziyang truly understand that he couldn't be as indifferent to godhood and transcendence as he had imagined. Perhaps, before knowing of the existence of gods, his goal was merely to become a Title Douluo. However, once he learned of the existence of gods, the desire to transcend the mortal realm and enter the divine realm naturally arose!

This is an inevitable part of the path of cultivation, and also the meaning of the existence of all Soul Masters.

Isn't the essence of cultivation to transcend?

Zhu Ziyang quickly fell into a deep sleep, but the ripples he caused had only just begun, and the fates affected by him had only just begun to emerge!

At this moment, within his spiritual sea, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were already in a state of ecstasy. Ilex stood in front of them, but his gaze was fixed on the Silver Dragon Wolf Soul Crystal.

"Snow Empress, is this real? I feel like it's not real!" Ice Empress said, her voice filled with disbelief and shock.

"Heh, what's unreal about it? Isn't this what we've been waiting for?" The Snow Empress's voice held a sense of relief, tinged with a hint of sarcasm. "Why does this unfair fate treat my soul beast race so cruelly!"

"Snow Emperor..." Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor couldn't help but show a hint of concern.

"It's alright, Bingbing. I was just venting. Besides, we're not soul beasts anymore, we're spirits!" Xue Di said. "Right now, I just hope Zhu Ziyang can successfully become a god and then lead us into the God Realm. I want to see what the God Realm is really like!"

"Yes, yes! I will, Snow Empress, I definitely will!" Ice Empress's tone was full of determination; that was her nature—once she set her mind on something, she wouldn't easily turn back. She said, "By the way, Snow Empress, what do you think Elder Yi is doing? Why is he staring at that crystal over there? What is that crystal?"

"I heard Zhu Ziyang say that the crystal is the soul of a dragon wolf, which is the origin of Zhu Ziyang's second martial soul's first soul ring!" Xue Di's tone was somewhat silent, but Bing Di sensed a different meaning in it.

"Dragon wolves? Dragon wolves from the far north?" Ice Emperor asked.

"That's right! She is an auspicious beast! An auspicious beast belonging to my far north!" the Snow Emperor said through gritted teeth.

"What?! A mythical beast?!" The Ice Emperor was shocked, then asked incredulously, "You mean, Zhu Ziyang killed the mythical beast of our far north? But why didn't we sense this mythical beast? How did it manage to grow for a hundred thousand years right under our noses without us noticing?"

"I don't know!" Xue Di said. "This auspicious beast sacrificed itself to Zhu Ziyang. Zhu Ziyang didn't say why. We can only ask her ourselves after her soul awakens."

"Alright!" Ice Empress looked at the soul crystal beside her, her eyes filled with doubt and regret. This was an auspicious beast. If they had encountered an auspicious beast before, then Snow Empress would not have needed to transform and rebuild her cultivation, and she would not have needed to agree to Tianmeng's plan!

How hateful! Is this fate? It's so unfair!

At this moment, also lamenting the injustice of fate was Di Tian, ​​the king of ferocious beasts in the perilous land of the Star Dou Great Forest. Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts were kneeling respectfully before a vibrant lake. A cold, weak female voice echoed from the lake's depths, "How hateful! Another human god! This damned heavens, why are you so unjust!"

"My lord!" Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts lowered their heads even further.

"Di Tian, ​​keep a close eye on the auspicious beast! I sense that a shameless god has set his sights on the destiny of my soul beast clan!" The female voice from the lake came again, her tone filled with vigilance and indignation.

"Understood, Your Majesty!" Di Tian replied respectfully.

"Alright, you may rise. I need to continue my slumber for a while longer. Di Tian, ​​during this time, all of you must be careful and try not to leave the Lake of Life," the female voice from the lake reminded you. "The inheritance of divine positions requires sacrifices! You mustn't repeat the mistakes of that great whale from ten thousand years ago!"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. We will!" Di Tian replied respectfully, then stood up, his gaze lowered. "Respectfully seeing you off, Your Majesty!"

"Respectfully seeing off our lord!" Brigitte and the others also called out respectfully.

A moment later, Di Tian turned back to the group of ferocious beasts, his gaze indifferent, and said, "You've all heard what our lord said. Crimson King, Bear Lord, keep a close eye on the auspicious beast these days, and don't let her run away!"

"Emperor, Emperor Tian, ​​the auspicious beast disappeared three days ago!" Xiong Jun suddenly said, trembling, his eyes showing some evasiveness and fear.

"What did you say?" Di Tian grabbed Xiong Jun and lifted her up, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. "Why didn't you say so earlier? Where did she run off to?"

"She...she transformed into a human and left the Star Dou Great Forest. When I found out, I only discovered the message she left behind!" Xiong Jun maintained his two-meter-tall burly man form, but was being held in the air by Di Tian, ​​who had the appearance of a refined gentleman, which looked very strange.

"Damn it! I want to skin you alive!" Di Tian was furious. His lord had just told them to protect the auspicious beast, and now it had disappeared. Wasn't this a slap in the face? He roared, "Quickly, go find it! You must find that girl for me! If you don't find her, don't come back!"

"Yes, yes!" Xiong Jun trembled and answered repeatedly.
