One day earlier,
In the Core Area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Scarlet King, who was looking after a cub, suddenly heard a summons. It came from Zi JI, the Abyss Demon Dragon whose cultivation age was roughly the same as his.
"Scarlet King, how are you managing things? In the territory under your jurisdiction, a human expert captured a junior of mine with a hundred thousand years of cultivation. Luckily, he sent me a distress signal through his innate ability before losing consciousness, or I would have lost a hundred-thousand-year clansman without even knowing why."
Zi JI's voice carried anger, and he could tell that she was hurtling toward him at top speed.
"What? Something like that happened? Damn him! He dared pull teeth from this dog's mouth, sneaking into the Core Area to steal a hundred-thousand-year soul beast right under my nose? Outrageous!"
The Scarlet King instantly flew into a rage. Every strand of red fur stood on end, and the eyes on all three of his canine heads widened.
"Scarlet King, don't act rashly yet. We don't know who this mysterious expert is, but anyone capable of this must be at least a Super Douluo.
"You know that humans are very weak before earning their titles, but once they condense a soul core, their strength can't be underestimated. After breaking through to Super Douluo, they can even just about hold their own against us.
"If our enemy is a Level 98 Super Douluo, we'll barely be able to contend with him even together. If you rush over recklessly, not only will you fail to rescue my clansman, you'll get yourself killed too."
"In any case, we're in the right here. This human expert violated the treaty on his own and came here to hunt hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. Even if we kill him outright, Shrek Academy won't have anything to say."
The Scarlet King snorted coldly.
Flying at high speed close to the ground, Xuan Zi had long since sensed two powerful auras closing in on him. Unlike his own restrained aura, those two soul beasts were utterly brazen, and he soon guessed their identities.
They were Zi JI, the ninth-ranked Abyss (Underworld) Demon Dragon King with two hundred ninety thousand years of cultivation, and the Scarlet King, the eighth-ranked Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff with three hundred thousand years of cultivation, both from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Still, Xuan Zi paid little mind to their approach.
His only worry was the impact on Shrek Academy if his identity was discovered. He had therefore pushed his speed to its limit, racing toward the auras of Zhang Lexuan and the others.
But Xuan Zi was also puzzled. Of the twelve people, he could sense only four auras, and an ominous premonition immediately rose in his heart.
The Bright Half-Plane.
After completing his transformation, Huo Yuhao entered this wondrous plane with Elder Yi for the second time.
With the addition of Douluo Star's plane will, the entire dazzling Bright Half-Plane had become brimming with vitality. Some golden seeds had even begun to sprout. Everything was developing in a favorable direction.
Through the Divine Dragon Pearl, Huo Yuhao sensed everything happening in his plane, and pride rose in his heart. After all, this was a world that belonged entirely to him, his little base, and his second true home.
"Plane will, come out and chat."
"Hmph! Despicable Huo Yuhao!"
A golden vortex suddenly surged before Huo Yuhao, and a little golden, Seven-Color dragon emerged from his Divine Dragon Pearl. To his surprise, the little dragon had doubled in size in just a few days. Her growth rate was truly astonishing.
"Well, look at you. You stole my things, yet you dare play the villain who complains first and turn around to bite me," Huo Yuhao countered with a smile as he watched the little plane dragon flare up in embarrassment.
"Uh..."
"Hmph! I admit I lost this time. Tell me, why do you carry the aura of my original self's fortune? If not for that familiar scent on you, I never would have come looking for you!" the little plane dragon growled fiercely, though her babyish ferocity hardly seemed threatening.
"How would I know? And you mentioned your original self? Just what are you?"
As a former Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao naturally knew what this dragon of fortune was talking about, but he chose to play dumb.
"Hmph, telling you won't help anyway. My enemy is a damned god, a despicable former Child of Destiny! My original self helped him become a God King with two divine positions, yet he still wasn't satisfied. He actually wants his parents to devour my original self completely and take control of Douluo Star. He's gone too far!" "Anyway, I'm claiming this plane. From now on, this will be the second Douluo Star. Don't worry, I'm always fair. I'll help you make this place beautiful."
Right before Huo Yuhao, the little divine plane dragon suddenly transformed into a little girl only half a meter tall, wearing a Seven-Color golden dress and holding a staff, with two crystalline horns on her head. She spoke with the sweeping confidence of someone commanding the world.
Huo Yuhao was instantly dumbstruck.
"The plane will is female? You can actually take human form?"
"Hmph! Of course I'm an adorable girl. We plane wills are the mothers of our planets, so of course we're female. You're so ignorant."
"I see! That works too. Anyway, you mean you'll be working for me, right? I have no objections." Watching this little dragon girl who did not seem particularly bright, Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction.
"What do you mean, working for you? Huo Yuhao, I'll bite you to death!"
Huo Yuhao held the little dragon girl back with one finger against her forehead. Ignoring her ferocious expression, he decided to ask her some friendly questions. After all, they were already bound together: they would share in each other's glory and suffer each other's losses.
"Then, my lady, what is your name?" Huo Yuhao asked teasingly.
"My name is Seven-Color, and my original self is called Nine-Color. But she's still suppressed on Douluo Star. I have to grow as quickly as possible and save her, or Tang San's parents will refine her if too much time passes. We were completely trapped, but then she discovered that she could connect to your spiritual sea of consciousness.
"And there happened to be a newly born plane in your sea of consciousness. So my original self used her planar power to pull your Bright Half-Plane into Douluo Star, then secretly split off a portion of herself-that's me-and sent me into your spiritual sea of consciousness. That was how I managed to enter the Bright Half-Plane."
"So that's what happened? Tang San actually started targeting the plane will this early."
Still, this was within Huo Yuhao's expectations. After all, in the original story, Tang San's parents had always lived on Douluo Star, yet they had never bothered to look after the declining Tang Sect. Many matters also required Tang San's personal intervention, proving that the couple must have been unable to get away.
So they were busy devouring the plane will! That neatly explained why Tang Hao could become the master of Douluo ten thousand years later, and why Ah Yin could become Douluo Star's Core of Life. They had climbed to power over the corpse of the original Plane Master. The Tang family really was despicable, carving up Douluo Star so neatly among themselves.
Douluo Star already had a Plane Master, and that Plane Master had even brought forth quite a few children of fortune. When the Abyss arrived, would Douluo Star's plane will betray her own home? Did she need you, Tang San, meddling in Douluo Star's affairs? Wasn't your so-called ten-thousand-year grand plan just about satisfying your own selfish desires? It was nothing more than an excuse to take complete control of Douluo Star.
"Seven-Color, I can actually help you reclaim your original self," Huo Yuhao said confidently.
"You?" Seven-Color rolled her eyes.
"Damn, what's with that look? You don't believe I can do it?" He could not accept being looked down upon by a little girl.
"My enemy is far too cunning. He has pawns planted all over Douluo Star. And even if you become a god, you'll only be his subordinate. You'll never be able to defeat him. I'm better off relying on myself.
"My original self has already come up with an excellent solution. As long as I develop the Light Plane properly, then 'eat' Douluo Star with my original self's help, we'll achieve total success.
"Then the Divine Realm will lose our coordinates, and my original self will have a chance to regain her freedom. That's the ten-thousand-year grand plan my original self and I came up with." Growing excited as she spoke, Seven-Color even laughed aloud.
Huo Yuhao's expression turned awkward.
A ten-thousand-year grand plan?
Why did that sound so familiar?
Hehe, I'll post two chapters together from now on. Reading them separately isn't satisfying enough.
Thanks to all you big shots for your monthly votes, investments, recommendation votes, and bookmarks. A new author with a new book, on my knees begging for everything.
Once this part is finished, the protagonist will be invincible. After giving Xuan Zi a beating, we can enter the main plot, and the jungle-farming development phase will officially come to an end.
Hehe, another female supporting character has joined the cast. On the lonely road of invincibility, he now has a noisy, talkative little girl for company.
Seven-Color will have an important role later. As the plane will of the future Great World of Light and Darkness, she'll constantly devour the extraterrestrial resources Huo Yuhao plunders.
She'll be Huo Yuhao's strongest assistant and the person closest to him.
Tell me what you'd like to see. The author's outline is all fighting and is very well developed, so I need some plot to pad the word count. Whatever you want to see, I'll write it.
