"Douluo Star?!"

Liu Xing's mouth twitched. He finally understood where that sense of déjà vu had come from. Wasn't this the world mentioned in a novel he had read before? The world of Douluo Continent?

But Liu Xing quickly came to terms with it. Since even Firefly, his two-dimensional wife, truly existed, it was not impossible to accept that the world of Douluo Continent was real as well.

However, there were several installments of Douluo Continent, and he had only read the first one. The Goddess of Life had never appeared in that first installment, which was why he had not realized it at first.

He had no idea what era Douluo Continent was currently in, but with Firefly by his side, he feared nothing regardless of the time period.

"That's right! Douluo Star is very suitable for you two. Its cultivation system is also quite unique. Even after becoming gods, it will still be useful and beneficial to you."

The Goddess of Life thought Liu Xing wanted to learn about the planet they were about to visit, so she briefly introduced Douluo Star to Liu Xing and Firefly.

Firefly, meanwhile, had yet to process it all. Although she had inherited Liu Xing's memories, they were ultimately his memories, not hers. They always felt like looking at flowers through a mist. Unless she deliberately thought about them, she did not share Liu Xing's sense of déjà vu, nor did the words "Douluo Star" remind her of that web novel as they did him.

Liu Xing looked at the Goddess of Life and wondered who was stronger between this Goddess of Life, who also called herself a Law Enforcement God, and the Asura God from his memories. After all, Tang San, the protagonist of Douluo Continent, had ultimately become the Asura God, also a Law Enforcement God, while simultaneously holding the Sea God Divine Throne—the unprecedented holder of two Divine Thrones, truly deserving of his title as the protagonist.

The Goddess of Life had no idea that Liu Xing was comparing her to the Sea God. She looked at the dim Starlight beside him. Divine power surged forth and wrapped around the Starlight as she tried to move it, but it did not budge in the slightest, leaving her slightly stunned.

As though stimulated by the Goddess of Life's divine power, the Starlight trembled faintly before transforming into a streak of light that drilled into Liu Xing's body and vanished.

The Goddess of Life gently shook her head, looked at Liu Xing, and smiled. "This should be a treasure. It was able to protect you while you escaped the Space-Time Turbulence, so it is no ordinary item. Unfortunately, it seems to have exhausted most of its power, and I do not know when it will recover. Keep it safe, and do not let others learn of its existence too easily."

Liu Xing nodded at her words. He knew that the Starlight was an extraordinary treasure, but he had no way to control it and could not even find where it was hidden within his body.

He also understood the saying that a man could be punished for possessing a treasure. He had originally prepared himself for the Goddess of Life to take the Starlight away, treating it as payment for helping him reconstruct his body. Yet he had not expected her to give up on it so easily.

From that moment on, Liu Xing could see the Goddess of Life's character. She truly lived up to her name—gentle, generous, kind. Countless beautiful words could be used to describe her.

She was a god with great love, not a goddess greedy for treasures and coveting what belonged to others. Even a fool could tell that the item was anything but ordinary.

Only the Goddess of Life would act this way. If it had been another Deity, how could they possibly let such an obviously extraordinary treasure go? But the Goddess of Life was different. In this world, the only thing that could probably stir greed within her was anything related to having children. As for everything else, given her character, she would never entertain such thoughts. She was the innate Goddess of Life; it was simply her nature.

"Alright, I'll send you to Douluo Star. Good luck! I'll be waiting for you in the Divine Realm."

The Goddess of Life waved her hand and tore open space. A jade-green divine light enveloped the two little ones and carried them into the spatial passage.

Watching the spatial rift slowly close, the Goddess of Life clasped her hands together and offered a blessing. "I hope everything goes smoothly for you."

Mindful of the Divine Realm's laws, which forbade Deities from interfering with the lower realms, she had not left any Divine Sense on either of them. The next time they met would probably be when Firefly or Liu Xing began a Divine Trial.

After pondering for a moment, the Goddess of Life turned and headed back toward the Divine Realm. She needed to persuade the God of Destruction to bestow a Divine Trial.

The God of Destruction's Divine Throne was exerting an increasingly powerful influence on him. Not long ago, he had gotten into another dispute with the Sea God. This was also why she was so eager for Firefly and Liu Xing to inherit her and the God of Destruction's Divine Thrones. As an innate Deity born from the source of destruction itself, combined with the Divine Throne of Destruction, the God of Destruction was being increasingly affected by the laws of destruction and becoming more and more extreme. The Goddess of Life could not help but worry.

Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, outskirts of Dragon City.

A beautiful woman with long blue hair, who appeared to be in her thirties, looked up at the jade-green radiance streaking down from the sky, curiosity glinting in her eyes.

"What was that?"

The woman was highly decisive. She immediately stepped through the air, transforming into an ice-blue streak of light as she flew toward where the jade-green radiance had fallen.

The woman was extremely fast. She covered the distance of over twenty kilometers in just a few minutes. When she reached a mountain hollow where the jade-green light had descended, she found no green radiance at all. Instead, in this deserted valley, she discovered two children who looked only four or five years old—a boy and a girl. They had the same silver hair and blue-pink eyes, and looked like either siblings or an older sister and younger brother.

The woman's pupils contracted. Wilderness. Children. The first thing that came to her mind was not that they were children lost from some family, but Spirit Beasts that had taken human form!

The woman's lips curled up as she chuckled. "Did this lady hit the jackpot the moment she stepped outside today? Two transformed Spirit Beasts, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones—this lady is coming for you."

At the same time, deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, within the human forbidden zone known as the Land of Great Misfortune, a colossal creature in an alternate space beneath an emerald lake opened its purple vertical pupils.

Just then, a Black-Haired Gold-Eyed figure, two meters tall with a pair of Black Dragon Horns atop his head and an aura of overwhelming majesty and dominance, instantly appeared on the shore of the Emerald Lake. He dropped to one knee and said with utmost reverence, "My Lord, you have finally awakened."

The colossal creature ignored the black-haired figure. Instead, it gazed into the distance and murmured, "Life..."

Looking at the Blue-Haired Woman blocking their path, Liu Xing's mouth twitched. It seemed the Goddess of Life could be unreliable too. Not only had she sent Firefly and him into this godforsaken mountain ravine, but worse still, they had run into a major boss the moment they arrived!

That Blue-Haired Woman had just flown down from the sky. She clearly was not someone to be trifled with. Firefly and he had only just arrived on Douluo Continent! How had their luck already turned this bad?

Confusion filled the Blue-Haired Woman's eyes. She was already this close, yet she could not sense even the slightest aura of a Spirit Beast. She was a Titled Douluo! Though she was merely a Rank 9 Spirit Tool Master who had reached level ninety-two through pills, she was still a Titled Douluo!
