Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

"Dongqing, why did you provoke me in the first place?"

"This is a misunderstanding. You're mistaken for Xue..."

"Do I know her, the Snow Maiden of the Mo Clan?"

"You can't blame me entirely; you were the same way back then..."

"I wanted to try it, but I got addicted. It was my fault."

Xiaomeng, the head of the Taoist Tianzong sect, looked at Dongqing in front of her and finally resigned herself to her fate. Over the years, she found herself becoming more and more dependent on him.

Some time ago, her master, Bei Mingzi, passed away. Before leaving this world, he couldn't help but give his last disciple a good scolding.

........

[Timeline of Recollections]

"You have practiced the Tao for twenty years, yet now it is as if you have never heard the scriptures or met a master. You are unable to awaken to the truth, blinding yourself to the light, indulging your mind and letting your thoughts run wild. Your thoughts are incessant and you do not turn back. You are consumed by the ten evils of greed, anger, ignorance, lust, killing, stealing, harsh speech, frivolous talk, divisive speech, and false speech, as well as the external world. These factors disturb your body and mind, causing your six senses to move erratically. You willingly suffer the toil and hardship of being driven around, wandering endlessly in the cycle of birth and death."

“That Dongqing… although he is the Dongzi and the Grand Preceptor of the Qin Empire, you shouldn’t have had a relationship with him. Tell me, since you had that relationship with him, have you been able to calmly read the Taoist scriptures?”

Although Bei Mingzi still had the appearance of an old man with white hair and a youthful face, the dark gray line between his eyebrows could not be hidden from Xiao Meng, the current head of the Taoist Tianzong sect.

She knew that her teacher had been a hundred years old thirty years ago, and that his thirty years of perseverance was already the limit, and it was time for him to retire from the West District.

“If he were still by my side, I could be at peace,” Xiaomeng replied honestly, without a smile.

“But he can’t, and his origins are still a mystery. No one knows where he came from. It’s as if he’s from outer space, suddenly appearing in this world,” Bei Mingzi said angrily.

As a Taoist master, he shouldn't be so angry, but not long ago he discovered that his beloved cabbage had really been taken by outsiders, so he still restrained his anger.

“He said he doesn’t belong to this world, but he can’t tell me right now,” Xiaomeng said calmly.

She was very calm, like a still lake, with a detached mind and a detached view of life and death. Ordinary people could not evoke any emotions in her, such as joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.

In this world, besides her master Bei Mingzi, only Dong Qing could stir her heart and make her want to possess this man.

"Understood....."

It's unclear what Bei Mingzi understood, but he took a deep look at Xiao Meng, then slowly closed his eyes, and the last vestige of his life gradually disappeared.

[End of flashback timeline.]

......

"Since you've admitted you were wrong, what's your attitude now?"

Dongqing reached out and pulled Xiaomeng, who was wearing a blue and white Taoist robe, into his arms, his face saying, "How are you going to make up for your mistake today?"

"You're shameless. I flattered you a couple of times, and you've gotten all arrogant."

Xiaomeng glanced at Dongqing indifferently. Although she appeared calm on the surface, her heart was beating much faster than usual.

Over the years, although he has changed his profession and taken on his own form, he still can't shake the habit of his heart racing.

If this were a world of cultivation.

She was the kind of woman who was serious and ethereal, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns, but with an incredibly passionate heart. Dongqing knew her quite well.

The word "deep" has a profound meaning.

The following time is not suitable for children, and it is also the time when Dongqing and Xiaomeng change jobs. Obviously, she is also one of the women that Dongqing has provoked in the Qin world.

.....

Two days have passed.

Dongqing spent a day with Xiaomeng, then discussed the important matter of changing careers with Madam Hu and Lady Hu, before reluctantly leaving the Qin world.

There's no way around it, thirteen days really do go by quickly, and today is an important day for the Demon Eye Civilization to enter the solar system and trade interstellar defense weapons with the Earth Civilization.

Chapter 770, Blazing Heart Baby

[Standard timeline: Douluo Calendar, November 8, 2686.]

[The Great Qin World Chinese Calendar: 366 BC, with a unified time flow and a one-to-one standard timeline.]

[Super God Earth Chinese Calendar: September 5, 2013, time flow is unified, one-to-one standard timeline.]

[Perfect World Chronology, Primordial Era 133536. More than four thousand years have passed since Dong Qing left the Perfect World. The time flow rate is positive, one to thirty-six, ten days in the Douluo Calendar equal one year in the Perfect World.]

The time flow rate in Perfect World is calculated as follows.

[Based on the time flow ratio of 1:36 between the Perfect World and the standard timeline, a year has 365 days, and 30 years equals 10,950 days. Dividing by 10 gives 1,095 years. Therefore, if 30 years have passed in the standard timeline, 1,095 years have passed in the Perfect World.]

.........

The Milky Way, the Solar System, and Earth.

2013, December 9, sunny.

Today is a special day. It is the first day that Earth civilization and extraterrestrial civilization have made direct contact, and it is also the day that Earth civilization and extraterrestrial civilization sit down and have a face-to-face conversation.

But on such an important day, there was one person who was still sleeping in.

It's one thing to sleep in late, but this person was also having a dream. He dreamt that he was beating a white crane that was as big as a star, making the crane cry out in pain.

Just as he was about to deliver the fatal blow, a woman's fragrance suddenly wafted over, and a small, fair, and delicate hand gently pinched his nose.

"President, are you a pig? Still sleeping in?"

Du Qiangwei sat on the edge of the bed and pinched Dong Qing's nose. She really couldn't understand why this man could sleep so much, and why he had to choose such an important day.

Just as she pinched Dongqing's nose, in an unknown forbidden area far away in the Perfect World, a white crane, whose size was comparable to a star, was also awakened from its dream.

"Lord He, are you dreaming?"

A chilling voice rang out, and a black serpent, long enough to coil around the earth a dozen times, silently emerged from the void, its sharp teeth still stained with crimson blood.

It is worth noting that.

The blood on the black snake's teeth was very fresh, and it still bore the remains of countless wronged souls.

It's clear that this long black snake recently devoured all the living beings in the world.

Billions of wronged souls, billions of grievances, and the dead have transformed into billions of vengeful spirits, frantically tearing at this long black serpent, trying to bite off a piece of flesh from it.

But as a forbidden being, this black serpent did not merely flick its tongue casually; in an instant, it refined billions of wronged souls and vengeful spirits into a pure and flawless power.

This long black serpent was originally a creature from the Immortal Realm of the Perfect World. It was a mythical forbidden creature, and in terms of bloodline potential alone, it could even be compared with the Ten Fiends level creatures.

But as is widely known.

In the Immortal Realm, intrigue and backstabbing abound, while in the Other Realm, unity and cooperation prevail. In the Immortal Realm, everyone schemes against each other behind their backs, but in the Other Realm, if you cry for help, someone will risk danger to come to your aid.

After being betrayed by the Immortal Realm and nearly dying, this long black serpent decisively defected to the alien realm and pledged allegiance to its kings.

The kings of other realms are essentially on the same level as the immortal kings of the immortal realm, and are also beings at the peak of the third step in the myriad worlds of the endless chaos sea.

[The third stage of life form begins in the Immortal Realm and ends in the Immortal King Realm (the Immortal, the Long-lived, the Mortal Immortal). A single drop of blood can sustain one for several epochs, granting immortality, a physical body that is immortal, and a primordial spirit that is indestructible.]

"A nightmare. In the dream, I saw that little horned ant that I can't find and still can't find any trace of. I dreamed that he beat me to death with the power that the horned ant clan regards as the ultimate standard. He tore my pure white wings and shattered all the bones in my body. I could even see that he wanted to eat me."

This is a white crane the size of a star, several times larger than the Sun in Earth's solar system, and its immense gravity pulls on dozens of vast stars around it.

When speaking.

This terrifying white crane opened its huge, scarlet eyes, and a terrifying killing intent erupted, instantly crushing dozens of floating stars around it.

The white crane wasn't angry; it was fear. As a direct descendant of the kings of the foreign lands, he was well aware that his precognitive dreams had a more than 90% chance of becoming reality.

"Lord Crane, that was just a dream," the black snake reminded him.

"He will kill me if he has a precognitive dream," the white crane said in a chilling voice.

Precognitive dreams?

The black serpent instantly understood the source of the faint, almost imperceptible fear in the white crane's chilling tone as it suddenly crushed dozens of surrounding stars.

The precognitive dream of the person in front of us is not a simple dream, but a kind of foreknowledge of the future. Unless the ancestor intervenes, the future cannot be changed.

The problem is that even if an ancestor-level being intervenes, it cannot guarantee a 100% chance of changing the future; it might even backfire and help the other side achieve its goal.

"The problem is, even the Ancestor can't find this little horned ant. Everything he had was cut off by that white-robed empress in the dark. We really can't find him now."

A hint of human-like helplessness appeared in the cold, black snake's eyes. It had already discussed the matter with several other forbidden beings who had concealed their identities and were hiding in the Immortal Realm, and none of them could find this little horned ant.

This little horned ant is like a mystery. Before the horned ant race was wiped out, it disappeared in the Immortal Realm. There was even a white-robed empress whose identity and name were unknown, who severed all the cause and effect between the past and the future for it.

"I will search even if I can't find it. I will turn the entire Immortal Realm upside down to find this little ant. I cannot allow it to grow to the point where it can kill me."

The white crane's tone grew increasingly cold, displaying a fierce determination to find the little horned ant. Its terrifying killing intent materialized, staining the vast starry sky where it now stood red.

From a distance, it looks like a blood-red interstellar dust cloud, making it appear like a demon god, evoking a terrifying sense of cataclysmic destruction that sends shivers down one's spine.

"Yes, Lord He. Your subordinate will continue to send people to the Immortal Realm to search for him. We have been searching in the Immortal Realm, but perhaps he is hiding in the lower realm of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

The black serpent, not daring to delay any longer, bared its teeth and let out a hiss, shattering a void wormhole the size of Earth. Like an eel entering a hole, it nimbly burrowed into the void wormhole.

........

at the same time.

In another, distant universe.

The Milky Way, the Solar System, and Earth.

"You're so annoying, you even bother me when I'm sleeping... Wait, who let you in?"

Dong Qing opened his eyes groggily. Still half-asleep, he immediately spotted Du Qiangwei, that annoying alien, and quickly realized something was wrong.

So, were we allowed to come in?

"Spatial teleportation," Du Qiangwei said, arms crossed.

“I asked you why you came in, not how you got in.”

Dong Qing was speechless. Did this woman not understand human language, or did he need to train her quickly, otherwise she would ride on his back sooner or later?

"You think I wanted to come in? Are you that handsome? Do you think I'm after your looks? Today is important; it's the day Earth Civilization and the Demon Eye Civilization meet."

Du Qiangwei said irritably that she had knocked on the door, but the man was sleeping like a log. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was still dreaming about a fierce battle.

Of course.

The battle in Du Qiangwei's mind was different from the battle in Dong Qing's dream. In his dream, he was actually smashing a white crane whose size was comparable to a star.
