Douluo Continent, Under the Heavenly Screen.
Watching the ancient bronze coffin slowly rise in the light of the Five-Colored Altar, the nine dragon corpses, their massive bodies like mountain ranges, dragged heavy chains as they climbed towards the dark red sky Mars.
Countless people held their breath, gazing up at this unimaginable scene.
"It flew away again... it flew away again!"
Ma Hongjun pointed to the Heavenly Screen, "Where are we going this time? White Emperor City, or somewhere else?"
"Look in that direction..."
Tang San, curious and with a solemn expression, said, "It seems different from when we set off from Mount Tai... more profound, more unpredictable."
"This Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin seems to be on some kind of predetermined 'journey'... from Earth to Mars, and then from Mars to the next location."
"This looks like an... ancient road?"
"Ancient Road?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled. "Third Brother, are you saying that these nine dragon corpses pulling the Bronze Coffin are flying along a pre-ordained path through the stars?"
Tang San nodded, and Yu Xiaogang added, "Very likely."
"Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why it made a brief stop on Mars, or how it was able to pinpoint the Five-Colored Altar. It all seems like a pre-arranged 'stop' and 'journey'."
Oscar gasped, "Where does this road end? Where will Ye Fan and the others ultimately be led?"
No one could answer.
Everyone could only watch helplessly as the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin gradually accelerated through the starry sky, transforming into a barely perceptible streak of light, and finally disappearing completely into the dark red horizon of Mars, plunging into the boundless, dark depths of the universe.
"They're gone..." Xiao Wu murmured, a complex expression in her eyes. " The Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin away... to a completely unknown world."
What kind of world would it be?
This question also lingers in everyone's mind.
However, as much as curiosity led, what truly concerned, or rather, chilled, the many powerful figures of the Douluo Continent was—
"Did you notice...?"
Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Gu Rong's voice was somewhat hoarse, "That storm on Mars just now... that was definitely not a naturally formed storm!"
Chen Xin nodded. "Yes! There seemed to be something moving in that storm... like... a human figure?"
"But..."
The Bone Douluo Gu Rong interface spoke in a deep voice, "That Lin Hao, just by standing there, those things dare not approach. Even where he walks, the storms retreat."
These words sent a chill down everyone's spine.
The storm receded, and the eerie influence remained untouched.
What power and authority!
"Can Titled Douluo do that?" Ning Fengzhi asked in a low voice.
A brief silence.
"I can't do it... Absolutely not!"
Chen Xin shook his head, "I am considered a strongman among the Titled Douluo... I can shatter mountains with a single blow, but to expect me to stand there and make the celestial phenomena retreat... impossible!"
Even the strongest Titled Douluo is still human and subject to the rules of heaven and earth.
"But this Lin Hao... the feeling he gives me is that he himself is the rule." (Gu Rong's interface)
Or rather...
"He is above the rules."
Overriding the rules.
These four words, heavy as Qian Jun, weigh on everyone's heart.
The Spirit Hall, the Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong sat on the Pope throne, her jade-like hand tightly gripping the scepter, her chest rising and falling slightly, her eyes burning with an unprecedented fervor.
The Shrouding the Heavens World...
That world contains such terrifying beings, possessing the power to traverse the stars...
If... if she could go to that world...
Bibi Dong's breathing became slightly rapid.
She is already at the pinnacle of existence in the Douluo Continent, possessing Twin Martial Souls and the inheritance of the Rakshasa God. Given time, becoming a god is almost inevitable.
But what happens after becoming a god?
According to the rules of the Divine Realm, deities cannot interfere with the mortal world; even if she becomes a god, many things will still be subject to her constraints.
But in the Shrouding the Heavens World...
Look at Lin Hao! How carefree he is! He can go wherever he wants—Earth, Mars, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land...
Moreover, his strength...
Bibi Dong couldn't imagine what kind of realm that was, but she was certain that it far surpassed the god-level realm in the Douluo Continent!
If she had that kind of power...
What Heaven Dou Empire, what Star Luo Empire, what Sea God Island, what Great Emperor... could be destroyed with a flick of the finger!
Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, Bo Saixi... they all must kneel at her feet!
Even... the man she hated most deep down, Qian Xunji... no, he's dead, but that humiliation, that hatred...
If she had that kind of power, she could even reverse time and change the past!
This thought burned wildly in Bibi Dong's heart like a wildfire.
"I have to go..."
She muttered to herself, a voice only she could hear, "I must find a way to that world..."
Her gaze was fixed on the Heavenly Screen, as if trying to pierce through the veil of light and reach the Shrouding the Heavens World.
The same longing is also growing in the hearts of countless people.
Eastsea Academy, dormitory.
Gu Yuena stood quietly by the window, her silver-purple eyes reflecting the vast Heavenly Screen sky.
She discovered...
As Lin Hao stood on Mars, watching the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin Set Sail, she vaguely sensed that the spatial rules of that region were slightly "bending"...
It wasn't a distortion caused by oppressive force, but rather... as if he was meant to be there, and space was meant to be presented to him that way.
"Comply with the rules..." - Gu
Yue Na murmured to herself, "This is a profound understanding of the laws; one's own existence has begun to influence the manifestation of the surrounding world's rules."
Tang Wulin, standing beside her, asked, " Gu Yue, are you saying that Lin Hao... he has already merged with the rules of heaven and earth?"
"It's not about becoming one with it," Gu Yuena shook her head, "It's about transcending it, or rather... it's about being part of the rules, a higher level of rules."
She turned to look at Tang Wulin, a complex light flickering in her eyes. "Do you understand what this means?"
Tang Wulin hesitated and asked, "Does that mean... he's very strong?"
"Not just strong."
Gu Yuena said slowly, "This means that the path he has taken is completely different from ours."
"Our cultivation Soul Master involves borrowing the power of heaven and earth to condense Soul Ring and acquire Soul Skill. Even if we become gods, we only gain some kind of authority, enabling us to mobilize even more powerful forces from heaven and earth."
But he...
Gu Yuena gazed at the Heavenly Screen, "He himself is the law, the source of all rules."
"He doesn't need to borrow any power, because he himself is the embodiment of power."
Tang Wulin gasped.
This level of understanding was beyond his comprehension.
"If only I could go to that world..."
"If we could learn that cultivation method... then perhaps the fate of the Soul Beast Clan could truly be changed."
As the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena shoulders the heavy responsibility of reviving the Soul Beast Clan.
However, in the Douluo Continent, the conflict between Soul Beast and humans is deeply rooted, and the attitude of the Divine Realm is ambiguous. Changing one's fate is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But in the Shrouding the Heavens World...
In that world, there seemed to be no distinction between Soul Beast and humans, only between the strong and the weak.
Moreover, the cultivation system of that world seems to be more direct and closer to the origin.
If she could obtain that power...
A resolute glint flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes.
We must find a way to get to that world.
