Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

And then, combining that with what I had previously heard the Holy One say...

She became increasingly certain that the Holy One was in excellent condition at the moment.

Previously, I had thought, whether intentionally or not, that the Holy Spirit rarely looked at her because of poor health. Now, I think it might simply be because he was too busy or didn't want to.

If the Holy One already exists in the Holy Realm, and is in a complete, living state...

So, what's the point of her gathering all nine black flames?

Reshaping an existing entity?

This logic suddenly becomes utterly absurd.

Overwhelmed by a profound sense of confusion and a lack of purpose, she unconsciously murmured her inner turmoil:

"But if the Holy One is over there... and is complete... then what can I do with these nine black flames? What for? Is any of this meaningful?"

Her voice trembled; the pillar of her long-held beliefs cracked at this moment.

Everything she did was to gain more favor...

That's roughly the case.

“It makes sense. Understanding a wisp of black flame can lead you there, and the more you understand, the more stable the passage becomes.”

A cold voice suddenly rang out, not from Sima Xi, but from the shadow beneath Ning Rongrong's feet.

With a faint flash of silver light, Gu Yuena's figure quietly appeared, calmly gazing at Ning Rongrong.

"Of course, you don't need to force yourself to do that."

Sima Xi then spoke.

"Gathering the black flames themselves was never the ultimate goal; it was merely a necessary step to achieve a certain wish. Think about it, if you had never come into contact with the black flames, would you have achieved what you have today?"

Ning Rongrong raised her head, her eyes still filled with confusion.

Sima Xi looked at her and saw the burning desire deep in her soul.

She asked softly:

"Rongrong, do you want to see him?"

Ning Rongrong's body jolted violently.

It's not for resurrection, not for rebuilding, it's just for meeting.

This was to meet the person she had depicted countless times in her heart and longed to be close to.

"Meet...yes, meet."

Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously, and the confusion in her eyes dissipated considerably.

At the same time, Gu Yuena's gaze also turned to Sima Xi, with a hint of inquiry.

She certainly didn't appear right after waking up. In fact, she hadn't been unconscious for very long.

She had woken up long before Ning Rongrong killed Qian Daoliu and had been observing from the sidelines, just in case.

So, naturally, she also heard what Sima Xi had just said, about the Holy God and the Holy Realm.

Looking at Sima Xi now, she only felt a sense of "why did you manage to comprehend the Black Flame and successfully go there?" Even though she also had a path, she hadn't achieved this level.

Sima Xi met Gu Yuena's gaze, his eyes filled with a distant memory.

After a while, she smiled and spoke:

"I remember you, Silver Dragon King. You were by his side back then, weren't you? You wanted to see him again, didn't you?"

Gu Yuena's eyes flickered slightly, but she did not deny it.

After a long while, she nodded.

"Correct."

she says.

"Then, how about we go together? It just so happens that all the Black Flames on Douluo Continent are with Rongrong. It will be very convenient to get there."

Sima Xi suggested.

"it is good."

The confusion in Ning Rongrong's eyes completely disappeared, and she looked at Sima Xi.

"We went there. Now, what do we do?"

"A black flame is needed as a fuse and coordinate."

Sima Xi's words were concise and to the point.

"You control the power of the eight black flames, and it will be most effective if you take the lead. I will guide you to use the power of these eight black flames to resonate with reality, tear through space, and establish a passage."

Ning Rongrong had no more hesitation, and her mind was set on it.

hum!

A profound and vast aura suddenly descended upon the Temple of Poseidon.

Chapter 226 A Failure

The nine-story pagoda, entirely black, appeared out of thin air in front of Ning Rongrong.

The eight layers of the tower were shrouded in purple light, and its mere presence caused the surrounding space to tremble.

Sima Xi looked solemn, making rapid, unintelligible hand gestures while muttering something.

Her spiritual power was highly concentrated, transforming into invisible threads that wrapped around the Black Flame Holy Spirit Tower.

After a short time.

"Now! Concentrate your power at the top of the tower, imagine penetrating an invisible barrier, and sense that aura!"

Sima Xi said in a low voice.

Ning Rongrong held her breath and focused all her attention on the tower.

Driven by her will, the power of the eight black flames surged wildly toward the top of the tower.

At the top of the tower, a point of purple suddenly lit up and rapidly expanded.

Boom!

The scene inside the Temple of Poseidon instantly became bizarre and surreal, with countless distorted cracks appearing in the space.

Through the ever-expanding vortex at the spire, a blurry vision began to appear—

The silhouettes of skyscrapers, the endless stream of cars, the crowds dressed in modern clothes...

Although it was still blurry, its unique aura was transmitted with unparalleled clarity!

Ning Rongrong felt her heart pounding; she seemed to be only one step away from her goal.

However, just as the passage was about to stabilize and take shape—

Click!

A sharp, abrupt sound rang clearly in the ears of the three of them.

The vortex at the top of the tower, which had gathered terrifying power, suddenly trembled violently.

The spatial forces forming the edge of the vortex were instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and the originally stable spatial channel structure became chaotic in the next instant!

"No, stop!"

Sima Xi's excitement instantly turned into extreme astonishment and horror, and she cried out in shock.

But it was too late.

Next second,

boom!

The spatial passage, which had been gathering the power of eight black flames and was about to take shape, vanished without warning, completely and utterly, under the watchful eyes of the three of them.

collapsed.

The violent spatial turbulence suddenly exploded outwards.

The solid stone walls of the Poseidon Temple were instantly torn open, creating a huge gap, with rubble flying everywhere.

If the three of them hadn't been incredibly strong, the backlash alone would have been enough to severely injure them.

The light of the Black Flame Holy Spirit Tower dimmed and shrank back into Ning Rongrong's body.

The Temple of Poseidon was in complete disarray and deathly silent.

Sima Xi's face turned deathly pale, and his body trembled slightly.

There are no problems with the process; she can vouch for it.

That means something else is wrong.

She quickly realized that there weren't many reasons for this problem, and the other version of herself that had transmigrated into her real body was the most likely cause.

"The situation is not optimistic. As you all know, I came back from over there."

"So, the person over there is now the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult as you know him..."

"Perhaps, she knew about the existence of the passage much earlier, under the influence of some unknown force, and blocked it."

She explained.

Ning Rongrong and Gu Yuena did not refute this.

They also knew that this was probably true.

-

reality.

Returning to the time before Ning Rongrong and the others were captured by Qian Daoliu after the eight black flames were gathered.

Poseidon briefly fell into a coma.

Originally, she was prepared to be unconscious for a long time, and to be captured or even killed by Qian Daoliu during her unconsciousness.
