"If such a method exists... if such a method exists..."
The Snow Empress's voice trembled with excitement, and her eyes shone with an unprecedented light, "Why did I have to endure seven hundred thousand years of torment to gain this meager strength?!"
If I had obtained this scripture earlier, three hundred thousand years ago—no, two hundred thousand years ago—I would have possessed combat power surpassing that of a god!
Heavenly Tribulation? What is there to fear!
After the initial euphoria came an overwhelming chill; she finally understood completely— Lin Hao ...
Just what kind of terrifying existence is it!
A jade slip given out casually contains cultivation techniques whose value is enough to drive all forces across the Douluo Continent, including the legendary Divine Realm, to a frenzied bloodbath!
In his eyes, this kind of cultivation technique was nothing more than a "good thing" that he could casually bestow upon "visitors from another world"!
Perhaps Lin Hao simply doesn't bother with using schemes and tricks to control himself, because the power he possesses and the knowledge he has acquired are themselves the greatest open strategy!
Faced with such an absolute disparity in power and wisdom...
My own struggles, my own secrets, my own pride—all seem so ridiculous, so utterly powerless!
"If he really wants to invade Douluo Continent..."
Snow Empress slumped onto the jade bed, muttering absentmindedly, "There's no need for a large army, no need for any conspiracy..."
Simply by casually disseminating a few copies of this technique, the existing order of the Douluo Continent will instantly crumble, and all living beings will fight each other for this opportunity to achieve enlightenment, collapsing without a fight!
A deep sense of powerlessness and... an indescribable sense of awe took root in her heart.
She finally understood why Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun's attitudes changed so drastically after they came into contact with the items from the Heavenly Court.
This is not mind control, but rather a complete collapse and reconstruction of one's original understanding of the world after one's perspective has been forcibly elevated to an unprecedented level!
Having witnessed the true treasures of the Dao, who would still care about worldly gold and silver?
She gripped the jade slip tightly, which seemed as heavy as a mountain, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Fear remained, and humiliation had not dissipated, but an unprecedented yearning—a yearning for power, a yearning for a higher realm—grew wildly in her heart like weeds.
Lin Hao gave her a choice, a choice she couldn't refuse:
Is it to cling to the crude system of the Douluo Continent and eke out a living, or...?
Seize this jade slip, seize this sliver of opportunity leading to the supreme path?
The answer seems self-evident.
Snow Empress shook her head helplessly. "Next time we meet, be honest..."
Douluo Continent, Under the Heavenly Screen.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall, Sea God Island... all the forces closely watching the scene in the Heavenly Screen were now plunged into even greater confusion and chaos.
They clearly saw the look of shock on Snow Empress's face after she entered that unbelievably luxurious side hall.
Then, she took out the jade slip and placed it on her forehead.
Then, the expression on her face changed from shock to disbelief, then to ecstasy, and finally to an indescribable mixture of fear, awe, and something else...
A complex expression, as if from a sudden realization.
"What exactly is inside that jade slip?!"
Ning Fengzhi abruptly stood up from his seat, unable to maintain his usual composure any longer. "To make someone as powerful as the Snow Empress show such an expression?!"
"Another jade slip! Zhu Zhuqing changed after reading the jade slip, Zhu Zhuyun changed after reading the jade slip, and now even the Snow Empress..."
Gu Rong's voice was filled with astonishment and uncertainty, "What kind of magic does this Heavenly Court possess?"
Could that jade slip be some kind of bewitching sorcery?!
"It doesn't seem like bewitching."
Ning Fengzhi frowned. " Uncle Gu, look at her eyes. Although there is fear and awe, there is more... a kind of enlightenment and longing for seeing a higher realm!"
This is definitely not what it looks like to have one's mind controlled.
"Could it be... that the jade slip contains some kind of... truly divine cultivation technique that transcends our understanding?"
An elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect put forward a conjecture that even he himself found unbelievable.
The main hall was deathly silent.
The Spirit Hall, the Pope's Palace.
"For the Snow Empress, who has cultivated for 700,000 years, to lose her composure like this... the value of this thing that Lin Hao gave away so casually is probably far beyond our imagination."
Could it be...?
"The cultivation civilization of the Shrouding the Heavens World Sky,' far surpasses that of our Douluo God Realm?"
As soon as this thought arose, Bibi Dong felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.
If that's the case, then wouldn't all the so-called alliance and resistance become a joke?
The Star Luo Empire, Imperial Palace.
Dai Tianfeng's face was ashen as he looked at the Snow Empress's appearance in the Heavenly Screen, and then he thought of his two sons' fiancées, feeling a mix of emotions.
" Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Yun... what exactly did you experience in that Heavenly Court? What did you gain?"
The Far North, the Core Circle.
Ice Empress, seeing his sister's shocked, ecstatic, and awe-inspiring expression in the Heavenly Screen, paced anxiously back and forth in front of the throne.
"Sister! What did sister see?! I'm so worried! What good thing did Lin Hao give her?!"
A-Tai's huge head shook, and he said in a simple, honest voice:
" Ice Empress, Snow Empress seems... very happy? Does that mean she's not going to attack us anymore?"
"I'm happy, but this happiness... it gives me a creepy feeling."
Ice Empress stopped in their tracks, a conflicted look on their faces. "What could make my sister lose her composure like this? It must be something extraordinary. Could it be...?"
"Even more powerful than the traditions of our Far North?"
Throughout the Douluo Continent, all forces were bewildered by the Snow Empress's drastic change in attitude.
The Star-Picking Tower, top floor.
Lin Hao remained languidly leaning against the chair that seemed to be formed from stars, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the armrest.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the layers of palaces, landing on the Snow Empress in the side hall, who was immersed in the mysteries of the " Heavenly Emperor's True Explanation," and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
" Douluo Continent... Douluo Continent..."
He murmured the name, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"This is... interesting."
Lin Hao chuckled, his voice tinged with a hint of emotion, "In the Shrouding the Heavens, even the Ancient Great Emperor, with Lifetime glorious reigns, only had a lifespan of ten thousand years. They had to go through countless near-death experiences and live Lifetime after Lifetime in reverse before they could even glimpse a corner of immortality."
In the Douluo Continent... a so-called "god" who may not even know what the "Dao" is seems to be able to easily live for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even longer?
Ha, how ironic.
Lin Hao recalled his past life and the information he had about the Douluo Continent. Those gods, relying on the Godhood Inheritance, seemed to be able to obtain near- Eternal life.
Although this kind of " Eternal " may have great limitations and flaws in his view, in terms of "longevity" alone, it is indeed far superior to cultivators of the same level in the Shrouding the Heavens World.
In a world lacking the Longevity Substance, people desperately struggle for life.
In a world where the Longevity Substance seem relatively abundant, people are oblivious to their own treasure trove, practicing crude and vulgar methods...
Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. This rule is truly... cruelly fair.
