Plane Consciousness, I Have a Child

"Huh?"

Xiao Wu was still muddled and did not understand. She tilted her head, watching Gula as he explained seriously, looking as if he wanted her to understand.

She shook her head and simply stopped thinking about it, focusing on savoring the delicious Energy Cube.

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm." She even kept nodding along.

Gula: "..."

Forget it. He had no motivation to keep explaining.

"If there's nothing else, I'm going to continue cultivating. Don't get too close to me."

Gula restored the Gravity Field around him. After awakening his Spiritual Power, his control over the Soul Power within his body had become far more effortless.

Even Gravity Control was showing signs of becoming more refined. He believed that as time passed, he would gradually be able to complete the operation he had envisioned—interfering with an enemy's balance.

Xiao Wu was not driven away by Gula's cold attitude. Instead, it stirred up her competitive spirit.

"What can you cultivate with movements that slow? Let's have a fight. I'll let you see my Soft Techniques."

When it came to fighting, Xiao Wu was eager to try. Then, without waiting for Gula to agree, she rushed toward him, her fist wrapped in Soul Power as she struck at his chest.

Gula lifted his eyes and looked over, relaxing his suppression of gravity. The Gravity Field immediately filled a radius of ten meters.

Xiao Wu's whole body sank. Her running motion suddenly warped, and she almost dropped to her knees under her own momentum.

She instinctively activated her Waist Bow soul skill, putting force through her waist and kicking hard with her rear leg before she barely managed to steady herself.

"Gravity... Domain?"

Sensing a soul skill similar to that of her second brother, the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu blurted out.

Gula raised an eyebrow. "It cannot be considered a Domain Soul Skill. At most, it's a Half-Domain. But against a little girl like you, it's already overkill."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu ground her teeth in anger. "Watch me beat you until your teeth are all over the floor!"

She kicked off fiercely, trying to use explosive force to close in on Gula.

Gula silently dispelled the Gravity Field. The moment Xiao Wu was airborne, he took a few steps back to widen the distance, then restored the gravity again.

The distance Gula maintained from Xiao Wu happened to be right at the edge of the Gravity Field.

Xiao Wu's upper body entered the Gravity Field, and with an "ow," she became top-heavy, lost her balance, and planted headfirst into the grass.

Gula smiled. "Do we still need to keep fighting?"

Xiao Wu planted both hands on the ground and raised her head. Her beautiful black hair was covered in blades of grass and dry twigs, and her fair, tender cheeks had turned bright red from shame and anger.

"I don't believe your Soul Power can last that long!"

As she spoke, she stubbornly stood up. The knees of her pink pantyhose had been dirtied by dust, and when she fell to her knees, she had not had time to react. Friction had torn a thumb-sized hole in them, exposing her peach-pink knees.

A Soul Master's physique was powerful, so she had not been hurt or bled, but Xiao Wu's Sense of Shame exploded in her heart. It felt worse than being injured once.

Xiao Wu gave a light shout, her voice icy and full of anger.

"Eight-Section Drop!"

This was Xiao Wu's Self-Created Soul Skill, probably a move her mother had taught her.

Once it locked onto an enemy, unless there was a vast gap in strength, it was very hard to interrupt. It would rapidly slam the enemy around, causing eight instances of terrifying damage.

Since she could not get close to Gula, she grabbed the decorative stone carving at the garden entrance instead, built up force in midair, smashed it down violently, swung it back and forth, and hurled it toward Gula.

Gula frowned, seeing that Xiao Wu had lost her head.

If it had been anyone else her age, even if Tang San had come over, a careless graze from that high-speed stone carving would leave them dead if not severely injured.

A thought flashed through Gula's mind, and he understood why Xiao Wu was angry. With no time to think further, he struck a Bulk Up pose, energy flowing within his body to strengthen his power and defense.

"Boosting attack and defense attributes by fifty percent still isn't enough."

"Martial Soul Possession!"

Gula's body swelled, strength surging up. Red rock armor bulged over the backs of his hands, and he raised both hands, forcefully catching the flying stone carving.

Xiao Wu stopped, panting. With her current cultivation, using Eight-Section Drop was far too forced, and she had nearly exhausted herself.

But she still glared at Gula with wide eyes. "This isn't over. Once I've rested, we'll keep fighting!"

It was infuriating. He had actually made her kneel on the ground.

"Sure. You're welcome anytime."

Gula gave an awkward smile and did not refuse.

Who told him to completely forget to consider Xiao Wu's pride? After all, in his eyes, Xiao Wu was a soul beast in human form and should not have many human concepts.

But the memories of the original work and reality were still different. Xiao Wu was a living, breathing person. She also had human joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness. She could feel shame and fury, act spoiled and cute. He could not treat her like a pet at home.

At this point, explaining that it had been an unintentional mistake would be useless. It would be better to wait until Xiao Wu cooled down in the future, then talk it out.

"Do you need treatment? Little San is a Healing Type Soul Master. I'll take you to find him."

Gula stepped forward to help Xiao Wu up.

Xiao Wu flung his hand away. "I don't need you. I can walk by myself."

As she spoke, she glared at Gula, then stormed off in a huff.

Gula had no intention of indulging her bad habits. He decisively backed away, folded his arms, and watched from the sidelines as she limped off awkwardly.

Points +15!

Looking at the system notification, Gula withdrew his line of sight in satisfaction and continued training his body.

After exercising for an hour, Gula meditated to cultivate Soul Power, then focused on meditating on his Psychic Power for another hour. Just like that, the afternoon passed.

It looked extremely boring, and in truth, it really was extremely boring.

"That's why I like cheating so much."

Gula used the points he had earned from defeating Xiao Wu to buy Berries, made them into Energy Cubes, and used them as dinner to fill his stomach. Then he sat cross-legged on the Blue Silver Grass.

He took out the pendant-like Great Ball, pressed the button to enlarge it to its normal palm-sized form, and took out the Medicinal Herbs he had bought at noon.

"Condense Qi and Calm Spirit. Viridian Power is a gift from Viridian Forest, the crystallization of nature. Different paths lead to the same destination. On Douluo Star, I should definitely be able to communicate with the Will of Nature too."

With his belief firm, a soft green glow rose around Gula, warm and comfortable, like a mother's embrace.

Gradually, Viridian Power connected to the Pan-Consciousness of the nearby Blue Silver Grass, using it as a bridge to make preliminary contact with Douluo Star's Natural Consciousness.

The Natural Consciousness, or rather the Plane Consciousness, was still in a very ignorant stage. It had originally been asleep and growing, but when it sensed an inexplicably familiar consciousness linking to it, it was a little bewildered for a moment.

Whose child was this, barging into other people's homes like that?

But as the Plane Consciousness thoroughly scanned and searched Gula from top to bottom...

Everything, absolutely everything, showed that Gula was a native human of Douluo Star.

Plane Consciousness: (∞)???

She was... its own child?

Was that a thing? She didn't have one, don't make things up, but... he really did feel very close to her.

The Plane Consciousness could not understand the current situation. Its thoughts fell into chaos, and it crashed.

Gula did not know that he had truly linked up with the Plane Consciousness, only sensing Some kind of response.

He concentrated completely, keeping his mind empty and clear, wanting to strengthen this connection so he could spare himself the tedious communication steps in the future.

Plane Consciousness: ()

This child... was so enthusiastic.

Forget it. Since she was already awake anyway.

From now on, he would be her child.

As this thought hazily arose in the Plane Consciousness, in a realm invisible to mortals, Douluo Star's destiny churned endlessly.

The abnormal purple cloud of destiny above Tang San was also affected, scattering a large amount of unstable Power of Destiny. Together with the destiny flying in from all across Douluo Star, it Gathered into a vortex and flowed Within the Body of Gula.
