The Perfect Script
Seeing the Plane Consciousness go berserk to the point of madness, Bao Liang silently picked up the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, moved lightly away from the area shrouded in nine-colored light.
Even the Golden Tree, an old companion that had been with the Plane Consciousness for countless years, wisely swayed its branches and leaves, parting the golden light in front of it slightly to reveal a slit for observation.
Only the Plane Consciousness remained oblivious to Bao Liang and Golden Tree's actions.
Her body, formed from a nine-colored halo, trembled violently, each wisp of light seeming to express endless resentment.
The resentment was so thick it was impossible to dissipate; if an ordinary Soul Master were in this place, the aftershocks of this emotion alone would be enough to disrupt their Soul Power and cause their spirit to collapse.
Bao Liang even secretly estimated that if this resentment were to materialize, it wouldn't be a problem to raise a whole company of Evil Sword Immortal immortals.
"Um... let's not be angry, okay? Come on, take a deep breath." Bao Liang tried to use his usual soothing tone to calm the little beast and restore the red-temperature state of the Plane Consciousness.
"Godfather, you don't understand! You don't understand what I've done for this script!" The Plane Consciousness raised its head, its faceless "face" seemingly filled with extreme resentment.
"If it weren't for those two bastards Asura God and Tang Sect Tang San Sect, once my perfect script was completed, I'd probably be Half-God Star by now!"
The Plane Consciousness almost roared out, and within the nine-colored halo, fragmented phantoms even appeared—the destroyed blueprints, the stolen opportunities, and the trampled future.
"Half-God Star! It would never have been like this, so miserable, being schemed against, targeted, like a stray dog!"
The dissatisfaction and resentment of the Plane Consciousness... Bao Liang looked at her like this, a black cat that kept tearing up and rewriting scripts because of fan fiction inexplicably popped into his mind.
But it's clear that this Plane Consciousness from Douluo Star ultimately can't get away with messing with that human cat.
Bao Liang decisively stopped his mind from playing out those strange little scenarios and turned to ask the Plane Consciousness about serious matters.
"So, Little V, in your original script, what role did the real Tang San play?"
Perhaps it was because they heard Bao Liang's relatively calm voice that the Plane Consciousness managed to barely suppress the raging fire in its heart.
The Plane Consciousness took a deep breath, and the nine-colored light paused slightly before slowly calming down, like the sea before a storm.
She slowly turned around to face Bao Liang, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and the Golden Tree, and began to explain to them the real script that had been destroyed.
"Let's put it this way, Godfather," the voice of the Plane Consciousness carried a hint of barely perceptible arrogance, "As long as the True Tang San follows my perfect script and takes over my and Old Huang's positions, then even in the Divine Realm, he can use the power of the entire Douluo Star to crush the God King!"
"Because if they take over my and Old Huang's positions, Old Huang immediately promoted."
"And Tang San will simultaneously inherit two First-Level God godhoods, each possessing Super Divine Artifact that allows him to disregard planes and directly draw upon the power of an entire planet! And he can use them at will!"
"That's way too much?!" Bao Liang was completely stunned.
His pupils contracted slightly, and the Ultimate Flame within his body seemed to stir slightly because of these words.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion clearly didn't understand how absurd this was; she simply blinked her gilded vertical pupils, looking completely bewildered.
Bao Liang didn't have time to explain to her just how absurd the whole situation was.
But Golden Tree is different; he always has free time.
Furthermore, the Auspicious Beast beast is practically the darling of the world, and as the Life Core, he naturally dotes on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
So, the Golden Tree slowly explained the intricacies of the situation in a way that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could understand.
The Golden Tree's voice was gentle and slow, like a clear spring flowing through this sweltering space.
He used the simplest metaphors to explain the difference in divine status, Super Divine Artifact, and the meaning of borrowing power regardless of different planes.
As the Three-Eyed Golden Lion listened, its vertical pupils, which always shone with a lively light, gradually widened.
Her golden fur seemed to stand on end in shock, and her mouth was agape, unable to speak for Jiujiu.
Only after the Golden Tree finished speaking did the Three-Eyed Golden Lion seem to come back to its senses, standing there dumbfounded, its golden fur twitching, before finally muttering, "This... this is too..."
"I know why you were schemed against and elbowed..." Bao Liang sighed with emotion, looking at the Plane Consciousness with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, "You're so overpowered, if I were in your shoes, I would have elbowed you too."
The Plane Consciousness panicked instantly.
She suddenly slid down to her knees, tightly gripping Bao Liang's thighs with both hands, causing the nine-colored halo to tremble violently due to her movement.
"Godfather! You are my godfather, you can't abandon your child!"
Bao Liang looked at the head of the Plane Consciousness that was about to rub against him, his face full of disgust.
He stretched out his hands and forcefully pushed away the head of the Plane Consciousness.
"Alright, alright, I've accepted you as my goddaughter now, so get back to your proper self! Stop kneeling all the time, it's disrespectful!"
"Okay~" The Plane Consciousness instantly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
She got up from the ground, dusted off non-existent dust, and then nonchalantly continued reciting her perfect script.
"Where were we? Oh right! Since we're talking about True Tang San's achievements after becoming a god, we can't avoid mentioning my meticulous preparations beforehand."
The Plane Consciousness patted its chest, looking proud, as if it were the sole creator of that perfect script.
"Because of the feedback from my two previous ascensions, I was able to grow and maintain my clarity of mind for extended periods, allowing me to control a small part of the world's direction."
"But those two failures also made me realize my shortcomings."
"So this time, I've decided to personally, step by step, completely control and arrange the entire story's direction, and go all in with everything I've gained so far!"
Bao Liang's eye twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but remind him, "Little V, have you ever heard the saying—'Gamblers never die a good death'?"
The Plane Consciousness didn't care much; she held her head high, nine-colored light swirling around her.
"Godfather, you don't understand. As everyone knows, going all in is a form of wisdom! This time, I will take back everything I've lost! I'll start with the Spirit Hall— "
As the explanation of the Plane Consciousness continued, scenes appeared above Bao Liang and the others' heads.
Those were... scenes from the perfect script spoken of by the Plane Consciousness.
"Thanks to the accumulation of the previous two millennia, humanity has finally gained a foothold. The Spirit Hall, Sea God Island, and the two great empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire have begun to exert their full strength."
In the scene, the white sacred mountain of the Spirit Hall soars into the clouds, the sea of Sea God Island glistens, and the territories of the two great empires are vast and boundless.
"However, due to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's rampant devouring, the Heavenly Tribulation ten thousand years ago also manifested on the Douluo Continent."
"This also means that every time Soul Beast breaks through 100,000 years, it must undergo Heavenly Tribulation; if it cannot overcome it, it will die!"
In the scene, dark thunderclouds gathered in the sky, containing Destruction power. Each flash of the thunderclouds made the Soul Beast below tremble.
"But because it was the first time, the Heavenly Tribulation was uneven in intensity, which caused many Soul Beast that could have survived the Heavenly Tribulation to be terrified after their first Heavenly Tribulation and choose the path of transforming into human form and starting over."
This also foreshadowed what would happen later in the story.
