Fools Have All the Luck

To be honest, Su Ming had a feeling this simulation probably wouldn't end because he was too weak. He was going to get himself killed through sheer stupidity.

With brains like that, even a dog would do better than Su Laoliu.

[As you devoured everything in a frenzy, the landmass of Douluo Star rapidly shrank. Along the way, you slaughtered every abyssal creature, then stationed a clone at the Abyss Passage to keep the rest bottled up at their source.]

[You ate your way into a small world. It looked familiar, but you couldn't place it. You didn't bother thinking any further and simply started eating.]

[You devoured vast stretches of yellow earth and desert, occasionally sampling the colorful clouds overhead.]

[Only when you reached a place littered with dragon bones did you remember where you were.]

[The Dragon Valley Core Area. You devoured the dragon bones and everything else you could swallow.]

[Dragon Valley provided far more energy than Douluo Star. You were having a feast, apart from the occasional Dragon Soul that came to bother you.]

[You kept eating until you accidentally reached the Dark Dragon King's remains, startling her Dragon Soul awake.]

[You had no interest in talking. You went straight at her and took off her head with one slash.]

[To your surprise, the Dark Dragon King was still alive even after you had beheaded her Dragon Soul.]

[You watched a strange energy restore her and flew into a rage. "Damn you! Why won't you die? You really deserve to die!" You attacked the Dark Dragon King again, but the Light Dragon King's Dragon Soul, which had appeared beside her at some point, stopped you.]

[He reduced you to a bloody mist with two swipes of his claws. In life, he and his wife had ranked just below the Nine Great Dragon Kings and possessed God King-level power. Though they had been dead for ten thousand years, Dragon Valley's nourishment had kept them at the level of First-Level Gods.]

[You re-formed your body. Feeling that your authority had been challenged, you willed ten million clones into existence, each as strong as you.]

[You all swung your blades at the Light Dragon King and Dark Dragon King, hoping to finish them in a single strike.]

[The Light Dragon King and Dark Dragon King roared. Terrifying waves of energy surged out, leaving your vision alternately drowned in white and swallowed by black.]

[You did not panic. The wind guided you, and you all struck together, beheading the Light Dragon King and Dark Dragon King. The trouble was, they were still fine. Their heads soon reattached to their bodies.]

[Even you knew it was time to run. "I'll live to fight another day! I'll be back to cut you down! Next time, I'm taking both your heads, you beasts!" You hurled the threat over your shoulder as you fled at a remarkable speed.]

[The Dark Dragon King and Light Dragon King watched you escape. They were furious, but they could not give chase. They could not stray from their remains for long. If they did, their Dragon Souls would run wild and split apart into either the dragon-shaped clouds above or the Dragon Souls on the ground.]

[You were fast. In the blink of an eye, you reached the outskirts of Dragon Valley.]

[You were angry, and your anger had serious consequences. You ordered the wind to become countless clones of yourself. Then you and several billion clones began gorging yourselves throughout Dragon Valley. If something was edible, you ate it. If it wasn't, you swallowed it first and worried about that later.]

[Your feeding frenzy was worse than a plague of locusts. In less than a day, the soil on Dragon Valley's outskirts, the dragon bones and Soul Bones beneath it, and all manner of other things had become fuel for your growth.]

[The resources in Dragon Valley were exceptionally rich. After consuming only a tenth of them, you pushed your Foundation past 1,000%.]

[When your Foundation reached 1,031%, your Martial Soul began to evolve once more.]

[Because you had been resurrected once, your Wind Spirit and Evil Spirit were one. That meant you were evolving both at the same time.]

[This Martial Soul Evolution was not as simple as you had imagined. The moment it began, every clone connected to you returned to your body, including those on Douluo Star.]

[You lay in a deep pit. The evolution had come so suddenly that you had no time to react.]

[As your Martial Soul evolved, the divine power, Soul Power, Dragon Souls, and other nonphysical energies remaining in Dragon Valley converged on you.]

[Meanwhile, beneath the Dragon Valley Core Area, a seven-colored Dragon Soul watched in puzzlement as energy from the dragon bones flowed toward you.]

[You had not absorbed any of the Dragon God's Dragon Soul's power, but he had noticed you nonetheless. After all, you were causing an enormous commotion. What you were doing was little different from tearing out Dragon Valley by the roots.]

[The Dragon God merely watched, with no intention of attacking you. He sensed great potential in you. Perhaps you could even become a new Dragon God someday.]

[You had already inherited the Dragon Race's power and karmic ties. Whether you wanted to admit it or not, you belonged to the Dragon Race.]

[Once your Martial Soul finished evolving, you would become a member of the Dragon Race, with a standing that would theoretically be no lower than the Nine Great Dragon Kings.]

"What? So fools really do have all the luck? Keep this up, Su Laoliu, and I'll have to report you for cheating. Su Laowu really suffered because his level rose too fast. If he'd waited until his Soul Power was maxed out before going to Dragon Valley, he might not have inherited such a massive karmic burden, but becoming a god would at least have been no problem." Su Ming couldn't help laughing at Su Laoliu's stroke of luck.

[Year 210 of the Simulation: the Abyssal Sage King invaded Douluo Star. But when he saw its devastated surface, with scarcely a patch of land left intact, he wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him.]

[Your handiwork infuriated the Abyssal Sage King. The more intact Douluo Star was, the more he stood to gain by devouring it. In its current state, the wretched planet would not even make up for the loss of his 107 emperors.]

["Damn it! Who did this? Who dared steal what belongs to me?" Furious, the Abyssal Sage King turned his attention to the Lake of Life, which brimmed with life energy.]

[At the Lake of Life, the Abyssal Sage King encountered the Silver Dragon King. Neither had expected to face an opponent with god-level combat power.]

[Upon entering Douluo Star, the Abyssal Sage King's strength was suppressed to that of a Second-Level God. The badly wounded Silver Dragon King's actual combat power was roughly equal to that of the suppressed,

[Divine Seat-less Abyssal Sage King.]

[Whatever terms the two sides reached afterward, the Abyssal Sage King withdrew, while the Silver Dragon King continued to recuperate.]

[Year 220 of the Simulation: after seventeen years in Dragon Valley, you finally completed your Martial Soul Evolution.]
