Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

Page 266

After these two incidents, the Golden Tree only had a little over 50% of its power remaining.

The power stored up for tens of thousands of years was nearly half consumed in just a few years.

Ten thousand years ago, the Dragon God Douluo Mu En of that generation defeated Di Tian by relying solely on a wisp of consciousness left behind after his death and mobilizing the power within the Golden Ancient Tree.

The Golden Tree is Shrek Academy's trump card. In the event of a crisis, mobilizing the power of the Golden Tree would be enough to protect the entire Shrek Academy.

The importance of the Golden Tree to Shrek cannot be overstated.

That is why these senior officials are so emotional at this moment.

"You mean you met the Tree Elder, and after he recognized your Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, he bestowed these powers upon you?" Yun Ming asked calmly.

Tang Wulin nodded.

He didn't dare to look Yun Ming in the eye; every time he faced this Pavilion Master, he felt a sense of guilt.

"What is your fifth soul skill?" Seeing Tang Wulin's silence, Yun Ming did not press him further, but instead asked Tang Wulin about his fifth soul skill.

Back then, Xu Yuan absorbed 20% of the power of the Golden Ancient Tree and condensed his fourth soul ring. His soul skill was the Flame of Life, which allowed him to burn his life force without restraint to amplify his combat power.

This time, Tang Wulin absorbed 30% of the power of the Golden Ancient Tree. What new soul skill did he acquire?

Tang Wulin scratched his head, released his martial soul, and looked at his fifth green-gold soul ring, feeling both helpless and excited.

Unfortunately, even though he was suppressing his soul power, he still leveled up three times under the infusion of the Golden Ancient Tree.

Doesn't this mean that his behavior of suppressing his soul power during the six months he spent on the Star Luo Continent was foolish?

If he hadn't suppressed it before, he might have been at least level 49 when he returned to Shrek Academy, and he wouldn't have had to waste the power of the Golden Tree to increase his soul power level.

The feeling of frustration vanished in an instant, and Tang Wulin was now even more eager for his fifth soul skill.

Green-gold spirit rings.

He activated his spirit ring and unleashed his fifth spirit skill.

The spirit ring shimmered with a green-gold light, releasing a burst of life energy.

However, that was all; there was no substantial change.

No, as the green-gold light flickered, streams of green light merged into the bodies of the elders.

"This ray of light is full of vitality, and it has increased my lifespan by at least ten years!" Long Yeyue closed her eyes to sense it, and when she opened them, a look of shock flashed in her eyes.

Is this his fifth soul skill?

Prolonging life?

Tang Wulin scratched his head and said, "This should be the power of the Golden Ancient Tree that I didn't fully digest just now. It dissipated as I released my soul skill. I didn't feel the actual effect of my soul skill."

Long Yeyue nodded knowingly.

It turned out to be the case.

This is the power of the ancient golden tree.

"Your soul skill?" Yun Ming frowned, looking at Tang Wulin with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"It seems like my soul power isn't enough?" Tang Wulin guessed.

Yun Ming nodded, stepped forward, placed his hand on Tang Wulin's back, and activated the Xuan Tian Gong, causing a surge of powerful soul energy to flow into Tang Wulin's body.

"Activate your fifth soul skill once more!"

While Tang Wulin's fifth soul skill was being tested next door, Xu Yuan was so engrossed in his reflections that he couldn't tear himself away.

Even the loud noise caused by Tang Wulin could not disturb him.

At this moment, Xu Yuan was immersed in a sea of ​​spirituality.

Here, his thoughts were more concentrated than ever before.

"Is this...the space of the Golden Ancient Tree?"

Xu Yuan has been here before.

Entering this place again, he felt its uniqueness.

Last time, we focused our main attention on the old tree and neglected the peculiarity of this space.

An aged figure materialized.

Compared to the last time, Xu Yuan noticed that this tree was much older. Despite its vibrant life force, it gave off a sense of decline.

“Child, your growth is outstanding. To achieve such success entirely on your own is to surpass all Soul Masters of all time.”

A hint of relief flashed in the old tree's eyes.

"However, that's not enough. Your advantage over the other one is getting smaller and smaller."

The old tree didn't give Xu Yuan much of a chance to speak, and continued to narrate to himself.

"My child, give it your all one last time. This is my last chance to help you. In ten years, within ten years, you will become a true god."

Xu Yuan was completely baffled.

What is this tree trying to say?

Become a god within ten years?

Without any divine lineage, how can I become a god?

Although Xu Yuan knew that it was possible to break through to the god level without a godhood, the limitations of the Douluo Continent meant that he could not break through to the god level.

The path of a Soul Master reaches its limit at level ninety-nine. To go further, one must either bypass the Soul Power cultivation system by relying on a divine position and directly cultivate divine power, thus walking the path of a god.

Alternatively, it can only help the Douluo plane break through.

While inwardly complaining, Xu Yuan gradually understood what Elder Tree had said.

"You mean, you want me to break through to the God level, break the level 99 limit of Soul Masters, and thus drive the evolution of the entire plane?" Xu Yuan asked cautiously.

The old tree nodded, looking very pleased.

"good."

"Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to compromise."

After saying that, he vanished.

Xu Yuan was alone in this vast white space, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.

A glimmer of light gradually returned to his eyes.

He was trying to understand what the old tree meant by digesting it.

Any other Soul Master might find it difficult to understand what Elder Tree was saying, but Xu Yuan knew the truth, so he was able to silently speculate and deduce Elder Tree's meaning little by little.

"Old Tree is the core of the plane. His statement that he will compromise should be in accordance with Tang Hao and A Yin's plan to help the two of them completely control the Douluo plane, and then devour the abyss, thereby elevating the entire Douluo plane."

"But he seems to have insisted again at this moment, asking me to help the Douluo plane break through within ten years. Obviously, this is another path, the most orthodox path, to break through from within the plane, with the cultivators within the plane breaking through to the god level, thus driving the plane's breakthrough."

Many thoughts flashed through Xu Yuan's mind.

Could it be that the Douluo plane had already accumulated enough resources, but because of the existence of the God Realm, those promising individuals who had the potential to break through to the God level were valued by the gods and inherited their divine positions? Therefore, no internal cultivators were able to open up the path to the God level for Soul Masters, and the plane could not be elevated from within.

However, after the God Realm disappeared, many outstanding Soul Masters emerged, and even a Battle Armor system appeared, making Soul Masters increasingly close to the God level in terms of power.

They were all unable to break through, or rather, they were able to break through, but only had such a brief chance to reach the god-level.

Even a brief breakthrough is still a breakthrough.

But can this really drive the evolution of the entire plane?

Or is it that Douluo's accumulation is actually not enough?

What was the point of what the old tree said before?

Or have I misunderstood?

Xu Yuan fell into thought.

Chapter 312 The First Rune – Seal! (Please subscribe!!!)

If the Douluo Continent has accumulated enough resources, then after the appearance of the four-word battle armor, the continent should have a chance to break through.

After all, in the history since the appearance of the four-word battle armor, the number of Limit Douluo has increased significantly. Not to mention Limit Douluo, there are even more Quasi-Gods than two hands on the entire continent.

Even if breaking through to the god level is extremely difficult, surely one in ten people can break through?

The "ten to one" rule might underestimate the threshold of godhood, but with three eras combined, there are at least twenty quasi-gods. Is it really true that there is no chance for even one?

Xu Yuan's initial understanding from Elder Tree's words was that if a plane accumulates enough power and its internal cultivators act as catalysts to break through to the god level, then the plane's evolution can be promoted.

However, judging from the situation he was aware of, it didn't seem to be the case.

Xu Yuan reviewed the conditions several times and finally found the only possible error.

The foundation of a dimension must be substantial.

The Douluo Continent 20,000 years ago, or even 10,000 years ago, would definitely have been satisfied.

Even with the most primitive cultivation methods as guidance, geniuses at the Limit Douluo level could still emerge, which clearly shows that the Douluo plane was already mature at that time.

Especially ten thousand years ago, during Huo Yuhao's era, it was definitely the most prosperous and peak era in the Douluo Continent.
