Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

Luo Yu was momentarily at a loss.

Because according to his plan,

he would spend several years accompanying his ladies, cheering them up, and with a few gentle words at that time, he would be able to leave with peace of mind.

As for the choice to refuse, to not save the Ancestral Star, such a thought had never crossed his mind, not even a sliver of it.

He would never forget where his roots were, the Yan Huang People, the Yan Huang Soul.

Perhaps some would find this overly sentimental, but Luo Yu was inherently a man of deep feelings; it was hard to imagine that within this man of iron and blood lay a heart full of passion, even somewhat juvenile.

This was something those who had never been far from home or who lacked emotional depth could not understand.

Everything had been planned so well, but now there was a slip-up.

The ladies were unwilling to stay in this peaceful and prosperous time; they wanted to return with him to the Ancestral Star, enveloped in storms and currently suffering tribulations.

Truth be told, Luo Yu himself was unclear on the exact situation of the Ancestral Star, since the Supreme Elder Lord hadn't given him the details, only saying "everything will be revealed once you return," giving him five years to decide, which would be sufficient without impacting the situation of the Ancestral Star.

Luo Yu was not willing to venture into the unknown, but when the Ancestral Star was in trouble, he had no choice but to step up. However, the idea of bringing the ladies along to face dangers was something he absolutely did not wish for, a thousand times over. Yet, looking around, he found that even the usually agreeable Ah Yin, Zi Ji, and these wives were now glaring with determination, seemingly unwilling to budge an inch.

"Husband, we have made up our minds, make your decision quickly," they said.

"We know we are being a bit willful, but we can't bear the thought of you leaving alone," they added.

"Exactly, if you were leaving us with several children, then we might have a reason to stay, but there are no children at all," they argued.

At this point, Luo Yu felt a great headache coming on.

He had worked diligently for three years, nearly ruining the earth with his efforts.

Yet the bellies of the ladies remained flat, without the slightest reaction.

It was a heavy blow to him.

He couldn't understand where the problem lay.

Logically, with his physical condition being billions and billions of times better than that of an ordinary person, it was preposterous that three years of effort had not produced a child.

Could it be that the higher one's power, the more difficult it was to have children?

That was the only explanation he could think of, since there was no solution in sight.

In the end, Luo Yu simply couldn't stand up to the ladies.

This time, with over thirty wives on a united front, Luo Yu couldn't struggle; the only alternative was for him to choose not to return to Earth.

But it was his destiny not to stand idly by.

Reluctantly, he had no choice but to agree.

"Have you really thought this through?" Luo Yu asked earnestly, his dark eyes piercing.

"We have thought it through," Gu Yuena and Bi Bidong led the unanimous response.

Luo Yu continued, "If you go with me, you won't know when you can return. What about your friends and relatives then?"

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes.

"Oh, husband, stop being so fussy. My dad always says, 'A married daughter is like spilled water,' even seeing me now annoys him," she said.

Liu Erlong said sensibly, "Husband, our elders are now advancing towards God Rank, and with the resources you've provided, breaking through to God Rank is not a big issue. Their lifespans will be practically limitless, so even if we stay in your homeland a bit longer before returning, it won't be a problem."

For a moment, Luo Yu was left speechless.

With over thirty mouths to argue with, not to mention outsmarting, he couldn't even begin to reply.

"Alright, let's agree on this," he said.

"I'm agreeing to let you come with me, but in the end, it still depends on whether the Huaxia ancestors have the ability to take you with me when we return."

"Then summon the elder now," Gu Yuena said decisively.

"Right, we're afraid you'll collude with the elder in private and trick us," they expressed concern.

Luo Yu's face was lined with exasperation.

True to the bond shared by intimate friends, his darling wives knew him inside out.

Even these thoughts had been guessed.

Indeed, that had been his plan.

Helplessly, once the ladies were properly dressed in dignified attire, with the grass stains standing upright, stockings, and torn skirts all collected into the spatial ring, Luo Yu extended a finger towards his glabella as if to release a seal or perhaps to convey a strand of information.

A point of golden light twinkled at his glabella.

The mysterious golden vortex appeared once again.

"Moo—"

With purple qi coming from the east, a green ox carrying an old Daoist flew out from the vortex, expanding to normal size in the air.

The Daoist's golden phantom faintly had Black and Yellow Qi accompanying it, twisting into a yin-yang pattern, profoundly mystical. A pair of eyes, experienced yet clear, penetrated the heart, radiating with wisdom and kindness as they gazed at Luo Yu.

"Young man, the five-year period has not yet come, why summon this old Daoist?"

Luo Yu bowed respectfully in a proper salute.

"Senior, I have made my decision; I choose to return to the Ancestral Star for the rescue mission."

"Have you truly made up your mind?" The old Daoist asked with a twinkle in his eyes. "If you stay here, you can enjoy eternal peace. Everything you'd ever want is at your disposal, at your whim. But if you go back, what you might encounter is uncertain; you could even perish there."

Luo Yu's gaze was firm as he met the old Daoist's eyes.

"The Ancestral Star is in peril, Huaxia is in peril, it is my undeniable duty."

"My seniors cultivated and aided me, was it not for this very day? How could I let them down?"

"Moreover, the strong should be ambitious and overcome hurdles. How can I cower from difficulties?"

"Besides, although the seniors do not say it, I can vaguely sense that there is some terrible crisis in the universe. If it were not for the seniors' valiant resistance, how could there be a peaceful and prosperous age in the universe? With the seniors' noble righteousness, how could I covet peaceful days and disregard the lives of those on the Ancestral Star, Huaxia, caught between fire and water?"

Luo Yu's words, spoken with resounding sincerity and four earnest reasons, moved Lord Laozi, bringing a rich smile to his face.

"Good."

"Very good."

"The old Daoist has not misjudged you, nor have They."

However, the young man has a request.

"Speak, and this old Daoist will do his utmost to fulfill your wish," Lord Laozi nodded.

Luo Yu scratched his head, pointing to the lovely ladies.

"My wives are reluctant to part with me and wish to accompany me. May I ask if this is possible?"

"Hahaha," the old Daoist laughed boisterously, looking down at Luo Yu's puzzled expression to provide an answer:

"Young man, Douluo is not in danger, why would the Great Sage Equal to Heaven give a single hair, and why would I grant elixirs and wedding talismans for protection?"

Luo Yu was at a loss for words.

"You had already anticipated that I would leave, and that my wives would follow?"

The old Daoist did not give a direct answer.

"Young man, your wives may accompany you. However, the way you'll leave is a bit special; you must leave later."

"Your wives should go first."

"You need not worry about their safety. Trust in the magical powers of the Great Sage and this old Daoist."

Luo Yu said with a wry smile:

"Of course, I trust your and the Great Sage's abilities, but I just want to know, in what way is my departure special?"
