Plans to Build a Ship and Set Sail

In the end, Zhou Huan was expelled from the Lake of Life by Di Tian without even having a sip of hot tea.

After the two left, Di Tian bowed slightly to the Lake of Life and said, "My lord, why send a human to Dragon Valley? That is the most important burial ground for the Dragon Clan."

This time, Gu Yuena did not appear, but her voice rang out. "Dragon Valley buries only the tragic past of the Dragon Clan. Letting him in is fine. What truly belongs to the Dragon Clan, he cannot take, much less take away."

"Moreover, and most importantly, although I can't see through Zhou Huan, he is definitely a variable in Douluo. The Soul Beast have nowhere left to retreat, and the emergence of a variable is beneficial to us."

After listening, Di Tian nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yes, my lord, I understand."

Then, Gu Yuena added, "Alright, I need to continue my seclusion and recover from my injuries as soon as possible. The Star Dou Great Forest will remain under your protection. For now, there's no need for major conflicts with humans; they're already starting to fight amongst themselves, so we should just observe from the sidelines."

Immediately, the Lake of Life returned to its usual tranquility, without the slightest ripple.

Shrek Academy, Sea God Island, Zhang Lexuan's home.

After leaving the Lake of Life, Zhou Huan and his companion went straight back to the academy.

At their current speed, as long as they don't travel along the way but instead travel normally, it would only take them a few hours to return from the Star Dou Great Forest to Shrek.

We arrived back at Sea God Island just in time for dinner.

Having a girlfriend meant he never had to worry about food or drink; Zhou Huan would just help out a little.

Soon, Zhang Lexuan had prepared four dishes and a soup.

At the dining table, Zhou Huan picked up a large piece of tender, steamed fish slice. After taking a bite, she exclaimed with delight, "Sister Lexuan, if cooking skills were ranked, yours would definitely be at the Super Douluo level!"

Zhang Lexuan chuckled lightly after hearing this, ignoring Zhou Huan's usual sweet talk. She thought for a moment before asking, "That... Silver Dragon King, is there anything wrong with the dragon scales she gave you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan looked at the silver dragon scales that seemed to have merged with his left arm. At first glance, he thought he had gotten a tattoo.

Others possess the Kirin Arm, allowing them to sweep across the Feng Yun; he now possesses the Silver Dragon Hand, which seems, perhaps, not too different... right?

Then, Zhou Huan shook his head and replied, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

After a pause, Zhou Huan chuckled and added, "Perhaps these dragon scales can even serve as a life-saving charm."

Zhou Huan didn't just say this casually; it was meant to reassure Zhang Lexuan.

The silver dragon scales will create a connection between Gu Yuena and Zhou Huan. While Gu Yuena can "monitor" Zhou Huan, she can also protect him if he is in Life danger.

As the Master of Soul Beasts and the mighty Silver Dragon King, how could Gu Yuena not have left herself some contingency plan when she agreed to let Zhou Huan enter Dragon Valley?

In addition, this dragon scale obviously has another function: it can isolate Zhou Huan from the perception of the Divine Realm.

Gu Yuena didn't want Zhou Huan to have any connection with the Divine Realm right now. What if he obtained some kind of Deity Inheritance? Wouldn't that be a waste?

Of course, if Zhou Huan knew what Gu Yuena was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes at her and tell her plainly, "Big sister, you're overthinking it. In the Douluo God Realm Deity Inheritance, apart from the God Position of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction, the rest of the divine inheritances are not even worth a dog's attention."

Zhou Huan had no intention of going to the Douluo God Realm. At this point in time, God King Tang and the God of Destruction were fighting to the death for divine power. Did he want to go there and become cannon fodder?

Furthermore, compared to the timeline of the Divine Realm, the Space-Time Turbulence is imminent. Does Zhou Huan really intend to be swept away by the Space-Time Turbulence, only to have a final War of Gods?

Zhou Huan wasn't that bothered.

Therefore, although the dragon scale given by Gu Yuena seemed to restrict and monitor Zhou Huan, it was actually entirely beneficial to Zhou Huan himself.

After hearing Zhou Huan's brief explanation, Zhang Lexuan felt relieved and then asked, "By the way, what did you mean when you said that Dragon Valley isn't on the Douluo Continent?"

Zhou Huan finished the last piece of green vegetable, then put down her chopsticks. Instead of answering Zhang Lexuan's question directly, she asked in return, "Sister Lexuan, do you know what kind of world the earth beneath our feet is?"

"What kind of world?" Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment before answering, "Four thousand years ago, before the Sun Moon Continent collided with the Douluo Continent, everyone generally believed that the world we lived in was a flat world with a round sky and a square earth, consisting of oceans and islands besides the Douluo Continent."

"However, after the Sun Moon Continent appeared, many scholars began to reflect on whether the concept of a flat earth was correct, and why a Sun Moon Continent as vast as the Douluo Continent would appear. Does this mean that there are other continents in our world?"

"However, this question has existed for over four thousand years, and no one has truly figured it out. Because those capable of exploring the world must be Soul Master above the Titled Douluo level, but no strong person would ever waste their life drifting on the ocean just to find an answer."

"And ordinary scholars who want to explore the world don't have the ability to conquer the boundless ocean. So, I don't even know what kind of world we're standing on."

Zhang Lexuan explained in detail the basic understanding of the Douluo Continent regarding the current world, which is also the view of the vast majority of people.

Zhou Huan was not surprised by this.

During the era of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, the people of the Douluo Continent explored Douluo Star very little, especially regarding the ocean, where they knew virtually nothing.

Even the Sun Moon Continent, which collided with the Original Douluo Continent, didn't understand why they ended up colliding with another continent.

Before encountering the Original Douluo Continent, the people of the Sun Moon Continent also believed that their place was the only world.

Then came the imperial war between the two continents. No one, strictly speaking, no powerful or upper-class people cared about what kind of world they lived in.

More than four thousand years have passed, and the result has not changed much.

Therefore, it's normal that Zhang Lexuan doesn't know the original appearance of the Douluo World.

So Zhou Huan gave the answer directly, "Actually, we live on a sphere, which we can call Douluo Star."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan looked at Zhou Huan in surprise. "A sphere? But how could a sphere..."

Well, even Zhang Lexuan didn't know how to continue the question, because this statement was far beyond her comprehension.

Zhou Huan couldn't explain the law of universal gravitation to her, so he could only explain simply, "As long as the sphere is large enough, the world actually appears flat to us. It's like an ant walking on a large stone sphere several hundred meters in diameter; it can't see the world beneath its feet."

"What I meant by the continental plates I mentioned earlier is that I consider each continent of Douluo Star as a plate. These plates are not static; although they move extremely slowly, they are not completely still."

"It was precisely because of this that the Sun Moon Continent collided with the Original Douluo Continent, thus forming the New Douluo Continent, which is almost twice the size of it now."

"And the entire Douluo Star isn't just about the Sun Moon Continent and the Original Douluo Continent. In fact, this planet has other continental plates, but they're quite far away and haven't been discovered yet."

"As for Dragon Valley, according to the map Gu Yuena gave us, the entrance to Dragon Valley is clearly not located on this part of the Douluo Continent, so if we want to get to Dragon Valley, we will have to..."

"Going to sea!" Zhang Lexuan interrupted Zhou Huan before he could finish speaking. "This is no simple matter, especially going to the open ocean. Ships are the biggest problem."

Sure enough, the Senior Disciple Sister not only had a strong ability to learn, but was also very intelligent, and immediately thought of the most important question.

Don't be fooled by Zhou Huan being an Ice Attribute Soul Master. In the vast ocean, you can't stay frozen forever, and you can't conquer the ocean just by relying on your Ice Attribute.

Of course, you can't fly indefinitely with Flying Soul Tool; you'd get exhausted.

Therefore, at this time, the boat becomes extremely important.

However, since the Great Emperor of the Douluo Continent, plus the relatively insignificant Dou Ling Empire, are all facing land wars, no one is making a big effort to develop maritime transport.

Therefore, ships built using Soul Tool are extremely rare.

In the shipbuilding industry, Douluo Continent is pitifully weak.

However, Zhou Huan already had a plan for this, so he patted Zhang Lexuan's hand to reassure her, and then said, "I've already thought of someone to build a ship for us."

Zhang Lexuan looked puzzled. "Who?"

Zhou Huan smiled slightly and said, "Xuan Ziwen."
