Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

```

"I simply don't believe that our Divine Spirits would abandon us."

Cao Zei frowned with worry and said, "If the gods of Our Great Xia never appear, there are currently no signs of any gods awakening within our borders."

Luo Tiance's eyes shone with a spirited light as he looked resolutely at everyone, an unstoppable sharpness emanating from him: "Everyone, if Our Great Xia's Divine Spirits do not appear, it can only mean that they have more important things to do, and they believe that the sons of Our Great Xia can continue to grow stronger and manage the crisis on their own."

At this moment, Luo Tiance, without invoking any power, radiated an exceptionally strong aura.

That was confidence.

The belief in daring to fight against heaven and earth, to defeat everything.

This confidence stabilized the unsettled spirits of everyone present.

"Director, whatever you say we should do, we'll do."

The respect in everyone's speech increased.

"Right, worst comes to worst, just fuck it."

"What are gods to me? In this lifetime, I've killed countless ferocious beasts, smashed foreigners to pieces, just never slaughtered a god."

"Bring it on, even if I die, I, Liu Shengji, won't make it easy for the gods."

"Well said, no matter who comes, Our Great Xia possesses the conviction to fight to the bitter end."

Luo Tiance sat quietly, a smile appearing on his stern face as he saw the fervent fire and fighting spirit ignite in the eyes of the others.

Hands gently pressed down.

"My friends, if there were no chance, why would I have called you all here for this meeting and issued orders to prepare for a desperate fight, or to just wait here for death?

He continued:

"You don't need to be overly pessimistic, we still have time."

"Have you ever considered."

"If the gods had already revived and could take action themselves, then why choose infants to inherit a portion of Divine Power?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, waiting for Luo Tiance to go on.

"The infants who receive the Divine Spirits' power can be called God's Children."

"So the gods creating God's Children must have a purpose, an origin point for their actions."

"I believe that They need the God's Children to do things for Them; if They could act on their own, why would They need God's Children?"

"So in the short term, at least before the God's Children grow up, They aren't able to take direct action and can only resort to this indirect method."

Everyone nodded, and it was at this time Cao Zei questioned:

"Is it possible that the gods deem it beneath Them to act, hence they need to train an obedient, yet powerful servant?"

Luo Tiance said, "Our Cultivation Levels have reached the First-Grade Realm, equivalent to the SSS Realm outside our domain. Surely, you must all feel that barely perceptible suppression, right?"

"Ah this..."

The other eight were first taken aback, then fell silent.

Luo Tiance paused for a moment.

Then he couldn't help but ask:

"Have you... not felt that suppression?"

The eight were now experiencing a multitude of conflicting emotions, cursing Luo Tiance for not having the Blessing of the Heroic Spirit yet still being so monstrously powerful.

The difference in strength and speed of cultivation between those with and without Ancient Spirits was like heaven and earth, so how could this man be so freakishly strong?

Had he really cultivated to the peak of the First-Grade Realm without anyone noticing???

Seeing the expressions on the eight's faces, Luo Tiance said apologetically, "Sorry, I've reached this stage almost eight years ago. I assumed that with the Blessing of the Heroic Spirit, you would have all reached the First Rank Summit long ago."

Luo Tiance's words only made the eight Border Chiefs' hearts twitch violently.

Save your apologies.

The more you speak, the more uncomfortable we feel.

Their expressions looked as though they were suffering from constipation, as uncomfortable as one could be.

For many years, they had always been oppressed by Luo Tiance, and in their hearts they often cried out in sorrow, asking the heavens why, if they were brought into existence, was this man also created.

It was too terrifying.

"There's no need for an apology, let's get back to the matter of suppression." Liu Shengji said, clutching at his heart.

Luo Tiance said:

"Even with a Cultivation Level at the First Rank Summit, we are already being suppressed by the Heaven and Earth here. I can feel it, it's not that I can't breakthrough, it's that the Heaven and Earth Laws here do not allow me to."

The faces of the eight Border Chiefs twitched again.

Good lord, calling out good lord, now it was even more painful.

"If my Cultivation Level is already suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Laws, then the gods more powerful than me must be under even more terrifying suppression."

"And considering that They have chosen God's Children, perhaps They truly cannot manifest in this world or walk amongst us."

The eight's eyes shined, stepping out of their heartache, nodding in agreement.

"Your analysis is logical!"

"Yes, that's the way it is!!"

"Damn, you scared the shit out of me, turns out these gods can't even come out."

```

They instinctively wanted to give Luo Tiance a thumbs up, but they still restrained their restless fingers.

He was already freakishly awesome, what would happen if they gave him a thumbs up too?

Liu Shengji glanced at the fierce and formidable man beside him and said disdainfully, "Old Zhu, can we be a bit more civilized?

"It's been half a day, and not a single sentence without swear words, we're the pillars of Great Xia, show some quality."

Zhu Wushi echoed back, "Quality?"

"What the hell is 'quality'?"

"Some people are dressed in suits and ties, preaching benevolence and morality, but engage in dirty deeds behind closed doors, is that called quality? That's called being a beast in human clothing."

"Before the disaster, I was a garbage picker, had a bad start, a mouth full of swear words, didn't understand any manners, but never bullied the weak, never backed down in a fight, and all my scars were earned in the protection of our home and country—who dares to say that I, damn it, have no quality?"

Liu Shengji, holding his forehead, had the look of someone who was scared of him.

"Enough!"

"Enough, do as you please, okay?"

"Let's start the meeting."

Zhu Wushi snorted coldly, "Nitpicking over every single detail, you see Brother Luo, he never criticizes me."

"Cough."

Luo Tiance said warmly, "Young brother Zhu, there's no need for you to change, being forthright is good, but you probably don't want your juniors to pick up these habits, do you?"

"So, what needs to be reined in should be reined in, and what needs changing should be changed."

"Pfft!"

Liu Shengji couldn't help but laugh.

"Sorry, I'm a professional, unless I really can't help it."

Zhu Wushi glared and raised his voice:

"Laughing my ass off!"

"Look at how eloquent Brother Luo's words are."

"Even his farts would smell better than your laughter."

Liu Shengji rolled his eyes, "From your uneven features, I only see two big words."

"Sincere."

"Alright."

Luo Tiance knocked on the table.

"Are you getting optimistic now because the gods have not shown themselves?"

"Without the gods, a bunch of so-called God's Children brats can't stir up any trouble." Zhu Wushi said disdainfully.

Luo Tiance shook his head and raised a finger.

"Firstly, the gods are only temporarily absent, it doesn't mean they won't appear in the future."

"I can feel that as time passes, the Power of Heaven and Earth's suppression on me is getting weaker, I see a chance for breakthrough"

"So if the Power of Heaven and Earth continues to weaken its suppression, then one day the gods will fully revive, and if we don't have measures in place by then, Great Xia will be completely destroyed."

"Previously, the reason why there was no resurgence of the gods, I suspect, is because the Power of Heaven and Earth's suppression was more severe, they couldn't even manifest miracles, but now they can."

The smiles that had just begun to appear on the faces of the eight faded, as they began to contemplate countermeasures.

"What I just mentioned is only the first point."

"Secondly, the many God's Children are blessed with the power of Divine Spirits, their speed of Cultivation Level and the strength they display at the same realm are bound to surpass our nation's juniors who are merely backed by Ancient Spirits."

"The younger generation is the fresh blood, the future of a nation, if they were to lose, can you even imagine the consequences?"

The eight were no ordinary people; just a moment's consideration made them understand the grave implications, and their expressions grew even more uneasy.

Luo Tiance continued:

"Thirdly, Great Xia has no revived gods nor birthed God's Children, whereas other powers do, and once hundreds of millions of ordinary citizens learn of this news, will it not cause panic? When the people's hearts are scattered and the military's morale unstable?"

"At such a time, if other forces are malicious, dispatch so-called God's Children to challenge our younger generation, and defeat our juniors."

"Then the hearts of the people of Our Great Xia will be in disarray, and the ambition and drive of the younger generation will be eroded."

"The consequences are unthinkable."

At this moment, the expressions of the eight regional hegemons were grim as they anxiously pondered countermeasures.

Liu Shengji looked at Luo Tiance with a complex expression:

"You've thought quite far ahead."

Luo Tiance shook his head.

"I received the intelligence earlier than you and had more time to think about it, that's all. I didn't say it, but you would have realized it soon enough."

He sighed and said:

"The fate of Great Xia is in our hands, if those in power do not prepare for the future, thinking ten, even a hundred steps ahead, how are they worthy of sitting in this position."

"Today I've called you all here to brainstorm countermeasures together."
