Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 312 The Will of the World: I hope you can win!

Under Zhu Ziyang's astonished gaze, the world instantly lost its color, as if everything had been paused, and the entire space-time fell into an eerie stillness. The Demon Emperor, the Snow Emperor, the Ice Emperor, the Second Frost, the Demon Emperor, the Demon Whale Girl, and even Zhang Lexuan behind Zhu Ziyang, and Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi further behind, all became like statues.

In the entire world, it seemed that only Zhu Ziyang retained the perception of the flow of time and space.

A humanoid phantom slowly appeared in front of Zhu Ziyang. The phantom could not be discerned in terms of appearance, gender, or race. In Zhu Ziyang's perception, it was even a fluid shape like ripples of water, which was very strange and peculiar.

The indescribable voice from before came from this humanoid phantom.

Zhu Ziyang watched the humanoid phantom with wariness. Judging from the abilities and methods it displayed, it was undoubtedly a being above the god level. However, it didn't seem to harbor any ill will towards him; otherwise, given its ability to freeze time and space, there would be no need for it to expose itself to him!

Therefore, Zhu Ziyang asked, "Who are you? What is your relationship with this Demon Emperor?"

"I have no connection with this beast, and yet I have no connection with it," the humanoid phantom said, its voice devoid of any emotion. "How so? I have a connection with you, and yet I have no connection with you either."

"..." Zhu Ziyang was momentarily speechless. After a moment of stunned silence, he asked, "So, who exactly are you?"

"I am the spirit of the planet, or you may call me the will of the Douluo World." The humanoid phantom's body rapidly changed with flowing light, and its voice entered Zhu Ziyang's ears.

"The spirit of the planet? The will of the world?" Zhu Ziyang was stunned, and then stared at the humanoid phantom with a sense of awe and confusion.

"As the inheritor of the God of Death, you should know what the will of the world means, right?" the spirit of the planet, the will of the world, continued.

"Hmm!" Zhu Ziyang nodded silently, recalling the information about the world's will in his memory. The world's will, the manager of a world, is the symbol of the starry sky in this world, and the heavens shining above the heads of the beings in this world!

Zhu Ziyang felt a chill run down his spine, not understanding what the World Will's intention was in appearing before him. Logically speaking, the World Will shouldn't appear so casually!

"So, what brings you here?" Zhu Ziyang unconsciously adopted a respectful tone. After all, the World Will could be considered the guardian of all living beings in the Douluo World, and this relationship would not be severed until he ascended to godhood.

"There's really nothing wrong, I just want to ask you to let these two demonic whales go," the World Will said.

"Why?" Zhu Ziyang squinted, feeling somewhat displeased. Even the will of the world shouldn't be so recklessly demanding that he do things!

"These two demonic whales still have a use in the Douluo World," the World Will said. "Rest assured, I will not let you make a concession for nothing."

"What do you plan to exchange it for?" Zhu Ziyang's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the World Will's words, and he asked.

"The library must have helped you a lot!" the World Will said. Whether it was Zhu Ziyang's imagination or the truth, there was a hint of smugness in the World Will's voice.

"How did you know..." Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang was startled, and then instantly understood. He exclaimed in realization, "So that's why the library has so many books! That makes sense. No, besides the will of the world, no other power could do this."

As the will of the world, this library has indeed been helpful to me, but you should know that its help is not enough for me to back down.

"Of course!" the World Will said. "To be honest, your growth to where you are today, even attaining the Godhood of Death, was something I never anticipated. But that's fate; even as the World Will, I cannot interfere with it. And my choice... well, never mind. Let's talk about the compensation for your regression!"

Zhu Ziyang was interested in the statement about the interruption of the world's will, but soon his interest was drawn to the two items that the world's will had taken out.

The World Will stretched out its hand, and two objects that looked like gemstones appeared in its palm.

One piece is a pure white rhombus-shaped crystal, radiating a sacred and luminous aura. There are some cracks at the four corners of the crystal, which spread towards the center, but ultimately failed to break the shimmering light in the center of the crystal.

The other was a gray, round pearl, emanating a gray aura, within which faint iridescent light emanated. The pearl's surface was smooth and intact, but its interior was filled with dense cracks, which was quite strange.

"This is..." Zhu Ziyang squinted, his gaze unwavering as he stared intently at the two items the World Will had produced. He was deeply shocked, and his face was filled with disbelief.

"Just as you thought, these are the divine sparks of the Rakshasa God-King and the Angel God!" the World Will said, its voice devoid of joy or sorrow, as if it were presenting not two divine sparks, but two ordinary gems. "After the war of the gods ended, both of these divine sparks were damaged and could not escape on their own. That's why I took them into the origin of the world. After ten thousand years of nurturing and repair, although they have lost their original level, they are still two second-level gods."

I think exchanging those for your concession should be enough.

"Hehe, two divine sparks in exchange for the Demon Emperor's life. It seems the Demon Emperor is very important in your plan!" Zhu Ziyang did not immediately accept the two divine sparks, but instead pondered the purpose of the World Will's actions.

"I do not deny it," the World Will said, "but this has nothing to do with you. As you are about to ascend to the God Realm, are you also preparing to follow in the footsteps of your predecessors and forcibly interfere in the affairs of Douluo Continent?"

"Oh! Okay, I agree!" Upon hearing the World Will's words, Zhu Ziyang immediately understood His intentions. As the will of the Douluo World, how could He not know Mu En's last words? In fact, He might even know the true reason for Mu En's death.

"Thank you," the World Will said. "The Sea God has always regarded the Douluo World as his private territory. As a human from the Douluo Continent, you have obtained the position of God of Death, but it has not been recognized by him. Therefore, when you ascend to the God Realm, you will inevitably face his hostility and even difficulties. I hope you can win."

"You seem to really want me to win?" Zhu Ziyang asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Heh!" The World Will sneered coldly, devoid of any emotion, and said, "That one's ambitions are too great."

"Is that so?" Zhu Ziyang said thoughtfully.

"Alright, I'll be leaving now. I hope you ascend to godhood soon!" the World Will said, its form gradually becoming ethereal. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared, like a wisp of air, drifting away with the wind as the world began to turn again.

Zhu Ziyang cheered for a moment. If it weren't for the extraordinary warmth of the two divine sparks in his palm, he would have almost thought that everything just now was his imagination.

"Please, please spare my mother!" The pleading voice of the Demon Whale Girl reached Zhu Ziyang's ears again, bringing him back to reality.

Zhu Ziyang subconsciously pressed the two divine sparks close to the spider lily mark between his brows. To his surprise, the two divine sparks actually entered the land of divine inheritance. Filled with curiosity, he lost interest in the two demonic whales before him. Without even glancing at the demonic whale girl, he turned and left, leaving behind the words, "You may leave. Do not appear in this sea area again!"

Seeing Zhu Ziyang leave, the spirits immediately followed. Although they were puzzled as to why Zhu Ziyang suddenly gave up killing the pair of demonic whales, they always obeyed Zhu Ziyang's orders, so they did not hesitate and immediately followed him.

The Demon Whale Girl stared blankly at Zhu Ziyang as he left, an expression of disbelief filling her pretty face. She murmured, "Really... you're letting us go?"

"Let's go, hurry up!"

The Demon Emperor's weak voice reached the ears of the Demon Whale Girl, who was filled with mixed emotions of sorrow and joy, and cried out, "Mom, are you alright?"

"Baby, hurry, get out of here!" The Demon Emperor's voice was weak, filled with fear and resentment. He said, "That boy is a god!"

"God!" The Demon Whale Girl was stunned. God, that word sounded so familiar. Wasn't it because of this word that her father died? Now they had encountered a god, and they had survived.

Why didn't Dad meet such a good God back then?

The Demon Whale Girl swam into the deep sea with the Demon Emperor. It is foreseeable that this mother and daughter will not appear near the Douluo Continent for the next few thousand years.
