A Vast Treasure Waiting to Be Developed!
What are the specific origins of the residents of Abyss Town?
Unknown.
But Zhou Qing also speculated that the residents living here, with their uniformly Childlike Face and healing appearances, might be a result of their generations living here, which has subtly transformed their Life at a more fundamental level, involving bloodlines and genetic factors, in order to adapt to the local environment.
But why are they also affected by the "Ascension Curse"?
Because the regulation of a person's Aura Field is related to the mind and cultivation, it requires a person's consciousness to actively participate in the process.
And no one living here can awaken their Martial Soul!
Although they can instinctively control Soul Power, it is more primitive than the Soul Master World outside. It is estimated that it will take "Hundred-Thousand-Year" to fully adapt to the Abyss Depths.
If such an Abyss Depths Ruins also exists in the original series, then Tang San's Parallel Time and Space counterpart, the Great God King Tang, might think that the time required for the people there is too long and there are too many uncertainties. He likes to be in control, that is, to have everything under control, and believes that only by "sacrificing" them can his interests be maximized.
At that time, the Abyss Ruins will be destroyed, the uncertainty will decrease, and the various mineral resources within the ruins will appear on the continent in another way.
"Well, now that he's become a god, his perspective has broadened. He sees mortals as nothing more than weeds, but he still has some aspirations. Tang San, the Heaven Dou Empire bestowing upon him the title of King Lan Hao, etc..."
However, since Tang San, the God King in the original series, embarked on the path of Control System, he has carried this concept through to the end, making all sorts of calculations, from controlling the overall situation in the Soul Master Competition to formulating a ten-thousand-year plan based on Planet planes.
In the end, in order to ascend to the God Star, they even planned to work with other God King in the Great God Circle to elevate all the potential planes and Planet surrounding the Divine Realm to the Divine Realm...
With this thought in mind, Zhou Qing cut off his thoughts and said to Tang San, "This Abyss has great exploration and research value. Moreover, although Tianming City is within the Star Luo Empire territory, it is not far from Vast Sea City, about three hundred miles away, which is closer than the straight-line distance between Nuoding City and Falling Star City."
Compared to the inland areas, the Sea City of the Two Great Empires are closer together. This is mainly because, in the Douluo Era, Two Great Empires and the Spirit Hall valued the inland areas more than the ocean.
Therefore, we may be able to communicate more with Abyss Town and conduct exploration activities in the future to determine which floor the Soul Crystal left behind by the Soul Saint of Holy Soul Village came from, and which floor the Teleportation Array is located on.
"Indeed, for us who can ignore the Ascension Curse, this place is a huge untapped treasure." Tang San also became excited.
The first level, which is used as Place of Relaxation by the residents of Abyss Town, has been ostensibly explored, but the various resources left behind that Red Whistle Explorer and above look down on are enough for Red Whistle Explorer like Riko to maintain their normal lives. In fact, judging from the current situation, this mode of operation can continue for a long time.
In other words, simply developing all the common metal ores in this first layer might be enough to sustain their power for decades.
Not to mention, this Abyss Ruins has twelve layers!
As long as the power they establish gradually takes shape, and the more people within them understand the Aura Field and apply it to their cultivation, the "Ascension Curse" will become ineffective. The only major problems they will need to face will likely be the powerful native creatures they encounter during development and the potentially harsh natural environment.
Originally, Zhou Qing thought the Finals would be held in Spirit City, and wanted to take advantage of this Continental Elite Tournament to see how a city full of Soul Master operates.
But who could have imagined that the Finals wouldn't necessarily be held in Spirit City?
However, coming to Tianming City was not a wasted trip. We confirmed the location of the ruins on the map left by the Soul Saint and learned about the value of this place, so we must try to win it over.
The first group they wanted to win over were the residents of Abyss Town.
With their strong desire to explore, they must also yearn to explore the outside world. However, they are blocked by the Knight of Tianming City. Perhaps this is why they can only focus their exploration on the Abyss Ruins.
Not absolutely, but the residents of Abyss Town were certainly dissatisfied with the Tianming City Guards outside. After all, when they first arrived, none of the residents of Abyss Town welcomed them; most were doing their own thing, and only the boys and girls who looked like children would gather around to watch.
However, Zhou Qing could understand the considerations of the City Lord of Tianming City. After all, there was indeed an invisible force shrouding this Abyss Ruins, and the people here were affected by it. Without determining the source of their mutation, they could only be eliminated. Otherwise, if they were allowed to go out and come into contact with the outside world, they might actually become Fallen One.
But how exactly are these Fallen One created?
Only by understanding the root cause can this problem be solved.
Zhou Qing had a premonition that it was still related to "Aura Field"... The Fallen One that suddenly appeared in the Stone Gambling Area of Heaven Dou Auction House, although its shape was quite strange, had an extremely harmonious Aura Field around it in his perception.
Compared to them, they simply lack conviction and are unable to arm themselves with "Aura Field" as a source of power...
···
The next day.
Under the arrangement of the Lord of Tianming City, the deans and mentors of each academy team boarded a cable car to travel to the metal platform with a diameter of over 500 meters.
The delegations from the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall were already seated in their respective VIP seats.
The delegation from the Heaven Dou Empire consisted of a group of Heaven Dou officials, led by Xue Qinghe, Meng Shenji, Zhi Lin, and Bai Baoshan.
Sect Leader such as Ning Fengzhi and Huyan Zhen Yanzhen were also present!
The delegation from the Star Luo Empire consisted of a bald-headed, white-bearded Soul Douluo, accompanied by six Soul Douluo and Soul Saint-level experts, one of whom was Zhong Dingxiu.
When Zhong Dingxiu saw the members of the Nuoding Team, he recognized them immediately—after all, they were the ones who proposed the new Soul Master classification system, so he naturally remembered them vividly. It was just that he couldn't quite recognize Tang San appearance had changed too much.
The Spirit Hall delegation consisted of twenty people, three of whom were Titled Douluo and the remaining seventeen were Red Cardinal at the Soul Douluo level.
Among the three Titled Douluo, a woman was the leader.
The woman was not tall, and wore a long white dress with shimmering gold trim. The dress was adorned with over a hundred red, blue, and gold gemstones, making it quite magnificent. She wore Nine-Curve Purple Gold Crown, which shone brilliantly in the sunlight. In her hand, she held a scepter about two meters long, inlaid with countless gemstones.
It was none other than Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall!
[I never expected her to come here in person!]
The two Titled Douluo standing on either side of her, one dressed in black robes with a gloomy face and the other in white robes who looked a bit like an old eunuch, were undoubtedly Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo!
