Plane Consciousness

Chapter 38: Plane Consciousness

Just as Gu Yue prepared to end everything.

A mysterious power descended.

It was as though the heavens themselves were collapsing.

Gu Yue felt the pressure of vast, heavenly might.

She was instantly filled with doubt. "Plane Consciousness?"

"No, that's not right. It's merely similar." Gu Yue narrowed her eyes and looked up at the sky.

The sight of churning clouds was reflected in her indifferent pupils.

Though the descending force carried vast heavenly might, it lacked the boundless, impartial nature of the Plane Consciousness.

Instead, it was mixed with a familiar aura that belonged to a "person."

"A person?"

Turning to Tang San, Gu Yue spoke coldly. "Heh, is this your helper?"

"Interesting. Possessing the Plane Consciousness."

"What a pity."

Clearly, something had gone wrong with the possession.

The urge to retreat rose within Gu Yue.

Through this exchange, she had already figured things out more or less.

Tang San was merely a rootless, source-less strand of Divine Sense. Gu Yue had all the time in the world to wear him down.

Her figure gradually faded. Gu Yue and Di Tian vanished from where they stood, leaving behind a sentence. "Heh, next time, the Golden Dragon King's power should return to the Dragon Race."

As if sensing Gu Yue's departure, that heavenly might also faded away and returned to the high heavens.

"Father?" Tang San, who had not even had time to rejoice, froze. Tang Hao had come quickly and left just as quickly, without even appearing before him.

Tang San's eyes flickered uncertainly. Clearly, something had gone wrong on Tang Hao's side.

After a long while, he let out a heavy sigh and returned to Tang Wulin's body.

Some corner of Eastsea City.

Gu Yue's figure appeared, and a trace of blood could not help but spill from the corner of her mouth.

"My lord!"

Di Tian hurried forward.

"No need to worry." Raising a hand to stop Di Tian, Gu Yue wiped away the blood from her lips.

"Just a minor backlash."

She had only cultivated back to rank 29 in the end. Using a little would have been fine, but this battle had drawn upon too much of the Silver Dragon King's Origin.

She had suffered backlash.

Still, what she gained was worth the price she had paid.

Closing her eyes, the seal on all of the Golden Dragon King's essence and its mournful dragon cries flashed through her mind.

"Tang San."

Gu Yue was confident that if she wore it down a few more times, that strand of Divine Sense would perish on its own.

In that case, there was no need to pay an excessive price to force a final resolution in one go.

But Gu Yue suddenly no longer wanted to take things slowly. In her mind, the Golden Dragon King's wails continued to echo.

Since that was the case...

Gu Yue employed her Shocking Wisdom and ordered Di Tian, "Di Tian, send someone to tell Na'er to come here."

Taking the hard route was too slow, so she would go around Tang San.

She would draw upon the Golden Dragon King's essence and make it return to its rightful place on its own!

Before the Dragon God split off the Golden Dragon King, the Golden Dragon, deeply blessed by the Dragon God, had represented the ultimate strength of the Dragon Race and the ancestor of power. It had originally come from the Dragon God's Golden Dragon King's Power.

Strictly speaking, the Golden Dragon's connection to the Golden Dragon King was no weaker than that of the Silver Dragon King.

As it happened, Gu Yue possessed a strand of Golden Dragon Origin. She had originally intended to use it as a Martial Soul to disguise herself when she became human.

But an unexpected change had occurred, forcing her to separate Na'er from herself. To prevent Leng Yaozhu from becoming suspicious, she had naturally given the Golden Dragon Origin to Na'er as well.

"I didn't expect it to still come in handy now."

Gu Yue's wisdom went to work.

With the Silver Dragon King and Golden Dragon auras on Na'er, she would attack from both sides.

Then, through a secret technique, she would make the Golden Dragon King return to its rightful place.

When that happened, no seals or Tang San would be able to stop it.

All that remained was to make preparations.

As for the person possessing the Plane Consciousness.

Gu Yue did not take him seriously. Though she did not know why, that person was already struggling to save himself.

Deep within the Douluo Plane.

When Tang Hao woke up, the sky had fallen.

His path to possessing the plane was about to be cut off!

To possess a plane, one first had to gradually erode its original Plane Consciousness.

But the original Plane Consciousness permeated the heavens and earth of Douluo Continent. It was everywhere.

It was exceedingly difficult to destroy.

Even with Tang San secretly helping him, Tang Hao had spent an unknown amount of time before succeeding.

After eroding the Plane Consciousness until only a single trace remained, hiding somewhere in a corner of Douluo Continent, Tang Hao had believed victory was certain.

He no longer searched carefully for it.

In Tang Hao's eyes, that final trace of Plane Consciousness was like a candle guttering in the wind, destined to dissipate on its own at any moment.

Thus, he had gone to sleep peacefully and waited for Tang San's ten-thousand-year plan.

But today, he had suddenly received Tang San's summons.

"How could this happen..." Tang Hao gritted his teeth as his Divine Sense frantically probed toward the Plane Core.

Memories came flooding back like a tide.

When he had received Tang San's summons earlier, he had immediately mobilized the plane's power in response. Yet at that very instant...

The original Plane Consciousness, which he had believed was already on the verge of dissipating, had suddenly erupted from nowhere and tightly restrained him.

That wisp of consciousness had somehow accumulated some strength.

Rather than cautiously pulling at him, it had launched a frenzied frontal counterattack.

It wildly reclaimed the Plane Origin he had eroded for years.

Though Tang Hao had been surprised at that moment, he had also been somewhat delighted. The remnant Plane Consciousness had actually chosen to confront him head-on. It was exactly what he wanted.

But once they truly clashed, Tang Hao found himself unable to voice his misery.

That Plane Consciousness could not be killed!

No matter how hard he thought, Tang Hao could not understand why.

The origin of the Plane Consciousness seemed to be firmly protected and fixed in place by something.

No matter how Tang Hao attacked, he tried methods such as tearing it apart, devouring it, and sealing it.

He even used the plane's power he had gained after possessing it.

Yet no matter what attack he used, once it landed on that wisp of consciousness, it could not destroy the other party.

Even when it appeared to shatter it, the other party was actually using the force to accumulate strength.

Only after paying an immense price did he finally see clearly.

At the core of that wisp of consciousness, a faint beam of light lingered. It was precisely this beam that tightly protected the origin, granting it a trait similar to "locked health, unable to die."

What alarmed him even more was that the fluctuations flowing through the beam had reconnected the Plane Consciousness to the depths of the Douluo Plane.

As long as the beam remained, the Plane Consciousness could steadily resist his possession and would never lose contact with the plane.

At that time, although Tang Hao knew Tang San had encountered danger and needed help.

He was tightly restrained by the Plane Consciousness, which had risen from the ashes.

With no other choice, he could only pay the price of losing some plane authority and divide his attention to help Tang San.

Not long before.

"What is it?" Seeing Su Qiu suddenly walk to the window and stand there as if rooted in place, Mu Chen approached him and asked in confusion.

"You can't see it?"

Looking at the pillar of light in the distance that shot straight into the heavens, Su Qiu forcefully suppressed the shock and uncertainty in his heart.

He could sense the terrifying higher-order power within it, far surpassing Su Wuyan—no, it could not be called surpassing.

It was not even on the same level.

"A god?"

It occupied a rank entirely different from that of Su Wuyan, a Super Douluo.

It made Su Qiu think of divine power.

Were there gods in Eastsea City?

There were.

Gu Yue.

And the Divine Sense inside Tang Wulin's mind.

"See what?" Mu Chen's expression turned slightly solemn. He felt that something was off about Su Qiu.

"No, nothing. Maybe I saw it wrong."

Shaking his head, Su Qiu became even more certain of that power's unusual nature because of Mu Chen's confusion.

Next to appear would be Na'er, fully transformed into the ultimate, invincible, insanely fucking awesome version of herself!
