Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

The Venerable Sovereign stroked his beard and chuckled, "If I tell you, my boy, you mustn't be scared."

Luo Yu shook his head.

"The Venerable Sovereign jests," he replied.

"Although I can't compare my experiences with yours, I've seen my fair share of scenes; I'm not scared so easily."

The Venerable Sovereign nodded.

"Good," he said.

"Actually, I'd like to send you off to be reincarnated."

"Hmm," Luo Yu nodded first, then suddenly looked up, his eyes wide, staring intently at the Venerable Sovereign.

He was speechless for a long time.

The ladies were getting anxious.

"Elder... You... What do you mean..."

"To send my husband to... to..."

Gu Yuena and the other ladies doubted their own ears.

Luo Yu waved his hand, stopping his wives from continuing.

With a look of astonishment, he said,

"Venerable Sovereign, what did you just say? I must have heard you wrong."

The Venerable Sovereign shook his head, still smiling, "You did not hear me incorrectly. I indeed wish to send you to be reincarnated."

"What?" Luo Yu's mouth hung open.

Though his mind had been calm as water for the past three years, he couldn't help but lose his composure now.

"Reincarnation?"

"Do you mean that in the literal sense?"

The Venerable Sovereign nodded.

"Ah, this..."

Luo Yu was somewhat baffled, "Wait a moment, I can't wrap my head around this all of a sudden."

"Didn't you say Earth is facing a catastrophe, and you need me to go back and help?"

"If I reincarnate, wouldn't all my strength be gone, and how would I be able to help fend off the disaster?"

"If I'm unlucky, I might even end up in trouble, strangled in the cradle."

The Venerable Sovereign spoke pleasantly,

"Do not worry, my friend, let me explain it to you slowly."

"Actually, with my level of cultivation, I have already reached a peak and am not bound by the rules of a single plane. However, I must obey the will of the Heavenly Dao of a universe."

"Earth is currently undergoing a special transformation, sealed off by the Heavenly Dao Laws. With your current cultivation level, you can't get in, and neither can I."

"The only way is to use the same method that brought you here, to send you back."

Luo Yu only half-understood.

But one thing he was sure of—would he lose all his cultivation upon returning?

That meant he would have to start all over again?

That's definitely not okay.

I mean, who would want to start over after cultivating to such a high and profound level?

The Venerable Sovereign spoke,

"Do not worry, Friend Luo Yu."

"Your soul will reincarnate back, but your current body and Divine Power will not be lost. You can nurture your present body within the World Tree, which, as it continuously draws energy from the universe, will transmit it to your body. Even without your soul, your strength will continue to rise steadily."

"Once you're on Earth, you will need to follow a different cultivation system. I, along with the other gods, have created a Technique for you, one that, once mastered, may one day break the true limits and aid us. The conditions for cultivating this Technique are found on Earth."

"By doing this, you can not only protect Huaxia and guard the Earth but also help us. And one day, when your earthly body has fully cultivated and the one nurtured within the World Tree of Douluo World is also successfully nourished, the two will merge into one. I cannot even imagine the realm you will achieve, as no one has ever tried this method before."

Realizing the Venerable Sovereign could read minds, Luo Yu knew that the other party could perceive his thoughts.

He sighed and said with a wry smile, "The picture you've painted is so grand, I'm boiling with enthusiasm as if I'll be stepping across the universe and flattening it tomorrow."

The Venerable Sovereign shook his head.

"I never speak falsehoods."

"In fact, when we chose over ten thousand transmigrators years ago, we had today's plan in mind."

"But, we are giving you the choice. If you refuse, we will let you live peacefully on this continent, never to disturb you again; if you accept, we will impart to you this unique Technique, which only you can cultivate, and send you back to Earth."

Luo Yu pondered, "Is this Technique something the other powers can't cultivate?"

The Venerable Sovereign shook his head.

"We cannot, for we have already carved out our own paths, and there is no turning back."

Luo Yu hesitated,

"If I refuse, the elders won't start cultivating over ten thousand more transmigrators, will they?"

The Venerable Sovereign shook his head and glared at Luo Yu, "You rascal, do you think this Technique is as common as a cabbage, that any random ten thousand transmigrators could cultivate it?"

"Firstly, when the Heavenly Dao of Huaxia chose you for transmigration, you and the other ten thousand were bearers of great Qi Yun, destined to surpass others. When it comes down to only you, the Qi Yun of all those ten thousand invisibly converge upon you."

"Only, since you are currently in Douluo World, the Qi Yun of Huaxia remains dormant, not manifesting because your soul resides here."

"And that's not all; the opportunity of the Pure Golden Lotus, the chance of the World Tree, were solely yours. These are critical links. Without the body forged by the Pure Golden Lotus, and without the nourishment and growth from the World Tree's strength, you would be unable to merge and combine the two."

"What?" Luo Yu hesitated, "There's only one Pure Golden Lotus and World Tree."

"Of course," The Venerable Sovereign pointed at Ye Lingling, "Just like this little wife of yours, such a Martial Soul is also unique in the world. As one disappears, another emerges. And even more so for treasures like the Pure Golden Lotus and the World Tree."
