Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

Chapter 565: 565: The Gathering of the Seven Gods

As one of the oldest imperial capitals, the people of Heaven Dou City were resistant to soul tools.

Especially when offensive and defensive soul tools were first introduced, it was nothing short of a "revolution" for the native soul masters.

But as time passed, everyone began to realize the advantages of soul tools, especially flight soul tools and some special ones.

Even without guidance, people gradually accepted the existence of soul tools.

The most visionary was undoubtedly Ning Fengzhi. When he saw offensive, defensive, and even flight soul tools, his eyes lit up.

He even spent a fortune to purchase two ninth-level soul tools from the Sun Moon Empire, one offensive and one defensive.

At that moment, he finally possessed the combat power of a Title Douluo!

"Soul tools have potential!"

Who knew how much auxiliary-type soul masters longed for combat power, especially those from pure auxiliary-type soul master families.

The emergence of soul tools could change the current state of auxiliary-type soul master families and even alter many common beliefs.

Without hesitation, Ning Fengzhi began acquiring precious metals from the Douluo Continent. If he was too slow, they might be swept away by people from the Sun Moon Continent.

Everyone was "on the same side" now, but the future was uncertain.

Only things held in one's own hands were truly one's own.

As the Nine-Colored God... man, Ning Fengzhi didn't act special because of his divine status. Instead, he humbly sought advice from soul tool masters.

He wanted to learn about soul tools!

Under the influence of divine consciousness, the speed at which Ning Fengzhi and Oscar learned about soul tools astonished all the soul tool masters!

Later, they discovered that the two who were learning from them and even willing to pay a hefty price were actually two gods!

At that moment, countless soul tool masters were stunned!

Ning Fengzhi truly lived up to being the sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. His wisdom and cunning were not to be underestimated.

Coupled with his divine-level strength, he became a ninth-level soul tool master in just a few months.

Now, he was even striving to reach the legendary divine-level soul tool master.

He was already a god, possessing divine power and divine consciousness, so becoming a divine-level soul tool master was not impossible.

But what puzzled Ning Fengzhi was that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to create a divine-level soul tool.

"What is the reason?"

Ning Fengzhi met the conditions to become a divine-level soul tool master, but the metals he possessed did not meet the requirements!

To forge a divine-level soul tool, one must have divine-level metal, the kind Tang Wulin later created.

As for the tenth-level soul tool master from ten thousand years later, although he created a tenth-level soul tool, it was not a divine artifact because it contained no divine power.

The Sea God's Heart, also known as the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, was a divine-level soul tool, the core of the Sea God Trident.

"Buzz~"

"Buzz~ Buzz~"

Such sounds rang out in the sky, making Ning Fengzhi's blood boil as he couldn't help but look up.

It was a manned aircraft, and on it was a fiery red figure...

Ning Fengzhi's gaze was fixed on the aircraft, while the figure was ignored.

Obsessed with studying soul tools, Ning Fengzhi only saw iron, steel, and special metal materials.

With just one glance, he was captivated by the manned aircraft.

"This... this must be a divine artifact!!"

Ning Fengzhi exclaimed, his eyes wide with astonishment.

When the aircraft landed next door, at the Zhongli residence, he finally snapped out of it.

In that instant, Ning Fengzhi had an epiphany.

So it's related to the Geo Archon, no wonder...

At the Geo Archon's home, there was a master soul tool master, a woman named Xianyun.

According to many soul tool masters' speculations, this master must be a divine-level soul tool master.

Ning Fengzhi had considered seeking her guidance but felt too embarrassed to ask...

Standing in the courtyard, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Next door, at the Zhongli residence.

With the arrival of Mavuika, the Zhongli residence was filled with joy.

Venti immediately headed to the far north to pick up the Tsaritsa, so that the seven gods could gather.

As the Anemo Archon, he reached the far north in no time at full speed.

After simply mentioning Mavuika's arrival, Barbatos didn't hesitate and followed Venti to the Zhongli residence.

After a hearty meal, Zhongli explained his plan. Upon hearing it, Mavuika, the Pyro Archon, didn't refuse either. Since the other five gods had agreed, she had no reason to object.

This plan was a good thing for the Douluo Star.

For the beings of the Teyvat Continent, it was also a good thing.

There was even less reason to refuse.

"Are you the consciousness of Douluo Star?"

Looking at the somewhat illusory figure of the little girl, Mavuika instinctively asked.

"Yes, lady Mavuika, please help me, help me!"

"If the most fundamental rules aren't altered and the Dragon God's curse isn't lifted, Douluo Star will ultimately face destruction."

"Whether it's soul masters, soul beasts, or other creatures, all could vanish."

"There's really no other way..."

The Douluo consciousness activated her soul skills: "cling to the leg," "play the victim," "act pitiful"... She was genuinely pitiful, not just acting to gain sympathy.

She was just a "child," yet she bore so much and was plotted against by that old schemer, the Dragon God...

Hearing this, Mavuika quickly nodded and said, "I've already agreed with the Geo Archon. If everyone has no objections, we can start anytime."

"You little thing are quite interesting, knowing to ask the Geo Archor for help."

"Hehe, if I hadn't asked Brother Morax for help, I might have been locked up by the new Asura God by now."

The Douluo Star consciousness spoke bluntly.

The Angel God, the Sea God, and other deities who originated from Douluo Star still had some conscience, occasionally giving back to Douluo Star.

Using their divine power to enhance human strength could also reduce some killings.

But the Asura God was different; he wanted to control the entire Douluo Star, turning it into his own backyard!

This was too despicable!

It was also her misjudgment to let such a person become the former Child of Destiny!

It was better to deal with these deities from other worlds!

They were powerful and possessed something other deities lacked, love!

Only deities with great love could maintain world peace!

"In the future, when choosing the Child of Destiny, I must choose one with great love!"

"Even if it means possibly selecting a so-called saint, I can't let myself be ruined again..."

The Douluo Star consciousness thought to herself.

Learn from past mistakes to avoid future ones.

With this experience, she would never repeat the same mistake.

As if remembering something, the Douluo consciousness added, "By the way, great love isn't romance."

"I feel like I'm turning into a continent of love."

#####

Chapter 566: 566: I am the Geo Archon, Morax. Summon the return of the Geo element!

The consciousness of Douluo Star was unaware that her feelings were completely correct.

What was supposed to be a "fantasy" continent had turned into a continent of romance.

Whether it was the common folk or the top-tier experts, everyone was wholeheartedly devoted to the cause of love.

First, there were the six-year-old Tang San and Xiao Wu, followed by the hundred-year-old Bo Saixi, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu.

To go even higher, there were Destruction, Life, Kindness, Evil...

Of course, these people were not from Douluo Star.

"Great love" was not something easily found.

What if someone like this appeared: a cold wind blowing through the Valley of Desolation...

Such karma was something the consciousness of Douluo Star could not bear.

With the gathering of the seven gods, the plan that Zhongli had been working on for so long finally came to fruition.

Led by the consciousness of Douluo Star, the gods arrived at the Star Dou Plains, now the Star Dou Administrative District.

The consciousness of Douluo Star spread her arms, saying excitedly, "Let's proceed here. It all started from this place back then."

"The first soul beast, the first soul master, were both born in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Although the Star Dou Great Forest had now entered a "small world," its location had not changed.

Holding the modification ceremony here was the best choice.

How could the consciousness of Douluo Star not be happy? Not excited?

She had waited so long for this day!

From the birth of the first soul beast to the appearance of the first soul master, and up to now, countless soul beasts had died at the hands of soul masters, and countless soul masters had perished at the jaws of soul beasts.

Just one rule, one curse, had turned the entire Douluo Continent into a chaotic mess.

This was not what the world's consciousness wanted to see. After all, whether they were soul beasts or humans, they were all her children, her people.

"Finally... finally, we can make a change."

The world's consciousness looked up at the sky, a faint glimmer in her eyes.

She had no physical form and could not shed tears, but the sky... could weep.

As if remembering something, the newly formed dark clouds disappeared, and the sky was soon clear again.

Hearing this, the gods stopped in their tracks, exchanged glances, and smiled, but said nothing more.

Since this "poor little thing" wanted a ceremony, they would let her have it.

As the gods appeared in the Star Dou Administrative District, a faint figure was slightly startled.

"He" had been waiting here for over ten years.

That's right, this faint figure was the Dragon God's divine soul.

Since the Golden Dragon King entered the inner realm, he had not reappeared, which left the Dragon God both puzzled and somewhat angry.

The Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King were "His" last trump cards, yet these two stubbornly refused to show up!

This made the Dragon God anxious, and he wanted to know what these two were up to.

In the Dragon God's plan, he wanted the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King to merge into one, and then "His" divine soul would enter it, allowing him to regain his former strength.

Even if the two were unwilling, under "His" indestructible divine soul, they would have no choice!

But the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings just wouldn't appear, and "He" couldn't enter that small world.

No choice but to wait, waiting for these two to come out or to find a way in.

Ten years passed in a flash, and just when "He" was becoming impatient, a group of gods arrived here!

"What do they want to do?"

The Dragon God's divine soul dared not approach, only watching from afar, fearing that these "people" would discover him.

When the Dragon God saw the consciousness of Douluo Star "materialize," he felt his head buzzing.

"He" had a bad feeling!

Besides the seven gods, there were also the Traveler Lumine, the Mouth of the Gods Paimon, the Three and a Half Inch... the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Adeptus Xiao, and others.

The Prince of the Abyss, Aether, came with the Abyss Heralds to assist.

Aether fulfilled his promise to Lumine, traveling step by step through the three nations of Douluo Star, excluding the sea, which is now the Douluo Federation.

Throughout this process, Aether felt like crying, and even after fulfilling the promise, he still didn't understand why his sister had asked him to do this.

A woman's heart is as deep as the ocean.

Zhongli looked at the group and then at the sky, saying, "Everyone, let's begin."

"Ready." × 6

Venti and the others nodded.

Zhongli took the lead, transforming into his divine form, a diamond-shaped halo appearing behind him.

His amber eyes glowed with a golden light, the pressure of the Geo Archon spreading across the area.

"I am the Geo Archon, Morax."

"Summon the return of the Geo element!"

As Zhongli's voice fell, the entire Douluo Star trembled, countless amber streams of light converging towards Zhongli.

The sky seemed to be filled with countless meteors, the previously unadorned sky now exuding a heavy power.

With Zhongli leading the way, the others did not remain idle.

"I am the Anemo Archon Barbatos, summon the return of the Anemo element!"

Venti's body emitted a faint glow, and the winds of the entire Douluo Star almost simultaneously surged towards Venti.

Where the wind passed, it brought no disaster, but instead, everything revived, full of vitality.

"I am the Electro Archon Beelzebul, summon the return of the Electro element!"

...

"Something's wrong, very wrong!"

The Dragon God's pupils contracted, and he felt very uneasy.

These so-called archons, these elemental gods, were incredibly powerful, but what they were doing seemed to be a big problem!

The voices of the gods echoed throughout Douluo Star, and whether they were humans, soul beasts, or ordinary creatures, everyone was silent.

They all wanted to know what these gods were planning.

"What's happening?"

"What archons, what Anemo Archon, Cryo Archon... what are these gods trying to do?"

The world was shaking, causing panic among those who didn't understand. With one person leading the way, others' panic quickly erupted.

"Is it the end of the world?"

"Are the gods going to destroy our world?"

Fortunately, there were some who knew Zhongli and were maintaining order.

The Geo Archon must have a deeper meaning in doing this, right?

"Everyone, don't panic. Morax is the divine name of the Geo Archon, the Lord of Geo. With the Geo Archon involved, this must be a good thing!"

Hearing such words, the panicked people suddenly felt a sense of security.

This was the Geo Archon, the Lord of Geo!

With him here, no matter what happened, everything would be fine!

"I am the Hydro Dragon Neuvillette, tides, I have returned!"

With Neuvillette's words, the "Seven Archons" completed the gathering of elemental powers.

Of course, Neuvillette had reclaimed the Hydro Dragon's authority, so calling him the current Hydro Archon was not a problem.

"Everyone, help me break the world's underlying rules and the curse imposed by the Dragon God!"

As soon as Zhongli spoke, the gods immediately began to act without hesitation.

Dragon God's divine soul: " 0.o"

"He" finally realized what was wrong, they were trying to cut off "His" roots!

Breaking the world's underlying rules?

If that happened, humans would no longer need to hunt soul beasts to break through.

Destroying "His" curse?

Seeing this, the Dragon God's divine soul could no longer hide, almost using all his divine soul power to shout at the gods, "You must not do this!!"

"Soul beasts cannot become gods!"

"Soul beasts are filled with violent factors, they are unstable. Without absolute power to suppress them, soul beasts will bring disaster to the entire world!"

The first lesson upon reaching shore: loyalty and righteousness!

The second lesson upon reaching shore: forget your origins!

As these words were spoken, the entire world seemed to fall into silence.

Those who knew the Dragon God and those who didn't, all fell silent.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yuena's jade hands trembled, her whole body shaking as she pointed at the Dragon God's divine soul.

At this moment, Gu Yuena was on pins and needles, feeling as if she were sitting on thorns, with a fishbone stuck in her throat!

Her fists clenched tightly, her back teeth almost grinding.

Not just Gu Yuena, but all the soul beasts, even the Golden Dragon King, felt the same.

After a moment, Gu Yuena turned her head and said to the Golden Dragon King, "Brother, you see, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

The Golden Dragon King subconsciously nodded. He had initially thought the Dragon God had some hidden reasons, but he never expected the Dragon God to be like this!

"If it weren't for the fear that He has some backup plan, I would really want to go out and kill that scum!"

The other party had "rescued" him, but definitely not with good intentions!

Fortunately, with this inner realm, the other party couldn't enter, otherwise, he and his sister might have fallen victim to the Dragon God's schemes!

At this moment, he no longer called Him father god, let alone the Dragon God. With his fiery temper, the Golden Dragon King directly called the Dragon God a scum!

These ten years, though short for the beast race, had given the two of them much to think about.

The Dragon God possessed both their powers, which was clearly problematic.

Gu Yuena had speculated that she and the Golden Dragon King might be akin to Destruction, Life, Kindness, or Evil, entities that came in pairs.

The Dragon God had appeared before them, forcibly merging the two and taking control of their powers.

But how could two completely opposite powers be easily controlled?

Thus, the Dragon God "went mad"!

At a critical moment, "His" power split into two, returning to their original forms.

This was why, despite being fragments of the Dragon God, there was a distinction between male and female.

One brother, one sister.

No matter how you looked at it, there was something wrong with this.

Regarding Gu Yuena's analysis, the Golden Dragon King frowned. He didn't think Gu Yuena was slandering the Dragon God, but he felt her analysis was incredibly logical!

After all, the Golden Dragon King represented the Dragon God's body, symbolizing power.

The Silver Dragon King represented the Dragon God's divine soul, symbolizing wisdom and elements.

So, where did the current Dragon God's divine soul come from?

Clearly, the Dragon God had lied!

"That scum really deserves to die!"

The Golden Dragon King was furious, yet helpless.

Having spent so much time with his sister, he had gained a bit of wisdom and didn't act out of anger to seek an uncertain outcome.

If the Dragon God truly had a backup plan, it would be too late for regrets.

"Your Majesty is right!"

The other fierce beasts also clenched their fists, staring intently at the Dragon God's divine soul.

Within the inner realm, they could observe the outside world through the exit.

But from the outside, one couldn't see into the inner realm.

Anger!

The fierce beasts were also quite helpless. In their rage, they raged.

They weren't even gods, so how could they possibly be a match for the Dragon God?

Even if the Dragon God was just a divine soul now, he was still beyond their reach.

A large ice silkworm couldn't help but spit out, "Pah~ what Dragon God? It's the Ice God from my North Pole!"

"Look, all of you, look!"

"How majestic the Ice God Tsaritsa is!"

"Now look at what you believe in..."

At this point, Tianmeng paused, sensing a murderous aura!

If he continued this topic, he might not live to see the end.

"Ahem, why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Are you infatuated with my body?"

Ditian glanced at Tianmeng the Ice Silkworm and sneered, "Insect, the previous Ice God wasn't this Tsaritsa."

"???"

Tianmeng was stunned, feeling a head full of question marks.

He had clearly heard it: the Ice God Tsaritsa, summoning the ice of the world...

How could he have misheard?

This Tsaritsa was the Ice God they worshipped in the North Pole!

"The entire North Pole was born from the death of the Ice God."

Ditian crossed his arms, saying leisurely, "This one is a god from another world. Although she is also the Ice God, her strength is not something your Ice God can compare to."

Hearing this, Tianmeng shuddered, suddenly understanding!

As if remembering something, Tianmeng started rolling on the ground, saying, "I don't care, she is the Ice God I worship!"

"Let me go, or else the Ice God will make you regret it if she finds out you've imprisoned me!"

"Wuwu..."

Before Tianmeng could finish, Ditian sent out a burst of soul power, silencing him.

"Our mistress is kind-hearted, letting you out for some air and to broaden your horizons."

"Not only are you not grateful, but you're also causing such a ruckus. It's better to let you cool down."

Ditian didn't look at Tianmeng, his gaze fixed on the Dragon God.

This was his former faith. For this one, he would climb mountains of swords and descend into seas of fire without batting an eyelid.

The moment his faith shattered, the anger and hatred in Ditian's eyes reached an unprecedented peak.

The love he once had was now matched by his hatred.

The reason "He" had left "him," this little dragon, was because Ditian posed no threat, right?

"Scum, you deserve to die!"

Outside, Zhongli and the others heard the Dragon God's shout and were slightly startled, instinctively looking towards the Dragon God.

"It's him, it's this guy!"

The world's consciousness became furious, transforming from a gentle, pitiful little sister into a red-eyed devil as if emerging from hell.

"It's this guy. If it weren't for him, my world wouldn't have developed into what it is now!"

Of course, without the Dragon God, there wouldn't be such a unique world as the Douluo Continent, nor would there be the soul master system and soul beasts.

This was a system unique to the Douluo Continent.

"You, the culprit!"

"Dragon God!!"

Hearing the angry roar of the Douluo consciousness, the Dragon God remained unmoved.

"Little girl, it was I who created you, it was I who created Douluo Continent!"

"I did it all for development. How can you repay kindness with enmity?"

Indeed, indeed.

The Dragon God had made many mistakes, but he had not wronged Douluo Star, nor had he wronged humans.

Only the dragon race and the soul beast race had been betrayed.

Without that earth-shattering war, such a unique system as Douluo Star's would almost certainly not have existed.

To say the Dragon God created Douluo Star was not an exaggeration.

But success was due to the Dragon God, and failure was also due to the Dragon God...
