Douluo Tree Sea Projection Hall

"Forget it. In any case, once we get back, let's eat those Immortal Herbs first." Lang Lei shook his head, crouched down, and picked up Little Griseo. Little Griseo obediently nestled in his arms.

Originally, Lang Lei had wanted to see whether Dragon Burial Autumn Lament, Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and Aromatic Silk Beauty could work together to evolve his First Martial Soul, Earth Dragon Dust.

Who would have thought that a single Ice and Fire Golden Body Refinement would evolve it directly? It had even absorbed the dragon power contained within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and successfully transformed into a dragon.

Still, stronger was always better. Who would complain about their Martial Soul becoming more powerful?

After all, unlike his Second Martial Soul, Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, his First Martial Soul would most likely be Lang Lei's primary means of combat in the future—his normal battle state. It was better for it to be stronger.

"Master!"

"I told you not to call me Master..."

"Um, Young Master... we didn't say anything?" Xuan Bing replied in confusion.

"Hm?" Lang Lei was still dazed when a tiny figure flew out from his chest.

"It's me, Master!" Aetheria said with her hands on her hips.

"Hm? You're awake?" Lang Lei looked at Aetheria in surprise.

"Of course! This time, I brought something good for Master!" Aetheria circled Lang Lei as though asking for credit.

"Alright, alright, Aetheria is the best. Tell me, what good thing did you bring?" Lang Lei played along.

"Ta-da—ta-da-da!" Aetheria flew before Lang Lei and opened the system panel.

At that moment, only a few large words appeared on the system panel:

Activate new system module?

Yes or Okay

"..."

He would not refuse to activate a new feature, but wasn't the intention behind these choices a little too obvious?

Lang Lei glanced helplessly at Aetheria, who was staring at him with wide eyes, then tapped "Yes."

Suddenly, a deafening boom rang out from the sky, so immense that the entire Douluo Continent could hear it.

At that moment, people across the continent raised their heads and looked toward the sky in confusion, as though trying to find the source of the sound.

Divine Realm—

"Asura, Asura!"

At the Law Enforcer Temple, Sea God Poseidon rushed over in a panic to find Asura God.

"What happened? You're already a god, yet you're still so rash." Asura God calmly glanced at Sea God Poseidon, then continued watching the sea of clouds beyond the window and observing the lower realm.

"Quit putting on airs! Look at Douluo Continent!" Poseidon explained. "A few minutes ago, my connection to that place suddenly got cut off. I can't even sense my Godhead Inheritance anymore!"

Only then did Asura God furrow his brow and begin to think.

Godhead Inheritance was the highest priority of the Divine Realm, something every god regarded as paramount. The Sea God would not joke with him about such a matter.

But if even the Godhead Inheritance had lost contact, then the situation truly deserved attention.

Asura God silently began contacting the Godhead Inheritance he had established on Douluo Continent. Soon, his expression turned grave.

It would have been one thing if a Level One God like the Sea God had been cut off, but who could silently sever the connection between a God King like him and his own Godhead Inheritance?

Yet Asura God understood that whoever had done this was certainly far stronger than them. After all, not even the resurrected Dragon God of the past could have accomplished such a thing.

From this alone, they knew this was not someone they could afford to provoke.

"Forget it. Let nature take its course..." Asura God sighed. He was indeed unwilling to accept it, but the crushing gap in strength left him with no other thoughts.

"Hey! Asura, don't talk like it has nothing to do with you! I only have one Godhead Inheritance site on Douluo Continent!" Sea God Poseidon became anxious.

They could not interfere too much with the lower realm. As a dignified Level One God, he could not possibly descend every day to search for an inheritor, could he?

As for establishing another Godhead Inheritance site...

Come on, was that something he could simply set up whenever he wanted?

Without a fixed Godhead Inheritance site, his chances of gaining freedom would probably be cut by more than half!

"Then go investigate and solve it yourself?" Asura God shot Poseidon a glance.

"You! Hmph!" Poseidon had nothing to say. He was no fool; he had merely come to see whether Asura God, as the law-enforcing god, would help him.

It was not only Asura God and the Sea God. The Angel God and Rakshasa God also discovered that their connections with their inheritors had been severed.

For a time, Douluo Continent became the focus of all the gods.

Yet all they could see was mist and clouds. They could no longer see anything at all...

Meanwhile, the people of Douluo Continent still had no idea what had happened. They could only stare in confusion at the Light Screen that had suddenly appeared in the sky.

Astonishingly, though the Light Screen did not appear large, everyone on the continent could see it, even those in the underground City of Slaughter.

"Is this the power of a god..." As one of the continent's strongest, Qian Daoliu was the first to notice the Light Screen's extraordinary nature. Thinking of his own Angel God inheritance and that island in the sea, he guessed that perhaps some god intended to recruit inheritors on a grand scale.

It was not only Qian Daoliu. Bo Saixi and the King of Slaughter also discovered the extraordinary power of the Light Screen.

Some Flying Soul Masters tried to approach it, but no matter how high they flew, the Light Screen seemed to move as well, always remaining the same distance away.

Just as discussions erupted across Douluo Continent, words began to appear on the Light Screen.

Have you ever considered that beyond Douluo Continent lies a far broader world?

Do you know that a Limit Douluo is, in the eyes of many beings, merely a slightly larger and more unusual ant?

The Asura God behind the Hell Road of the City of Slaughter, the Angel God behind the Angel Sanctuary of Spirit Hall, the Sea God behind the Sea God Temple on Sea God Island...

Do you truly believe their power is enough to call them gods?

Are humans truly so weak and helpless? Are true gods truly compassionate?

I will lift the mysterious veil of worlds beyond that boundless starry sky and lead you into the world of the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quantum.

You may, of course, choose to turn a blind eye. But are you truly willing to give up this opportunity to soar to greatness?

What if he or she in the Light Screen really came to this world?

You may ask the Light Screen questions, for only a slight and insignificant price...

Stay tuned for Beyond Douluo...

The words ended there, but the continent became lively. People began discussing the strange sight in the sky, while the major factions stirred into action, making the situation increasingly unpredictable...

"What! You're saying that the rewards for the question-and-answer session after watching the projection have to come from me?" Lang Lei looked as though she had to be joking.

"Well... we don't have anything on hand..." Aetheria poked at her tiny fingers. "If I had anything, I'd definitely give it all to Master! Besides, Master can win the rewards back through the quick-answer rounds!"

"Then tell me, what do I need this new feature for?" Lang Lei was dumbfounded.

"Of course, to travel between worlds!" Aetheria said as though it were only natural. "This world is far too weak to serve as the main world. If Master develops here, you won't have any future!"

"Well, thanks a lot..."

"And it has other uses too!"

"Such as?"

"The question-and-answer session!" Aetheria said. "There's a minimum threshold for the price paid by those asking questions. If it's an item, it must at least be a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone or a treasure worth over ten million Gold Soul Coins. Gold Soul Coins are fine too, but the minimum is twelve million."

"And it supports lifespan exchanges too!"

"Uh..."

"And as for setting rewards, Master can just offer a few thousand Gold Soul Coins. Master is so amazing, you can definitely earn them easily!" Aetheria argued. "For questions that no one else could possibly answer, Master can set a more valuable reward, then take it back yourself. That way, Master won't suffer any losses (_)."

"Suddenly, I don't want you praising me like that..."

"Hehe..."
