Qian Renxue's First Journey Through Douluo II Spacetime! An Encounter With a Familiar Face
"Oh? Mingde Hall!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed slightly. "Xiao Yu, I remember you saying that Mingde Hall is one of the three top powers in the Douluo II spacetime, right?"
"That's right. Mingde Hall isn't just one of the three top powers; it also possesses the most advanced Soul Tool technology."
"Being a Soul Engineer isn't so simple. To train high-level Soul Engineers and enable Spirit Hall to rapidly develop Soul Tools, we have to master the core Soul Tool technology!"
"If we can seize all of Mingde Hall's research on Soul Tools, Spirit Hall will enter the age of Soul Tools at tremendous speed!"
Qian Daoliu nodded inwardly. "So you already have a plan, don't you?"
"Yes. Before long, another major power, the Body Sect, will attack Mingde Hall. When that happens, we can make our move amid the chaos!" Jin Yu said.
In his memory, the Heavenly Snow Woman, the Snow Empress, had taken human form to cultivate anew, only to be captured by humans. She had ultimately fallen into Mingde Hall's hands and been sealed inside a Soul Tool called the God Sealing Platform.
The Body Sect had learned of this and attacked Mingde Hall to obtain the Snow Empress Embryo, only for Huo Yuhao to seize the chance to steal it in the end.
So this was an opportunity.
"All right. We can take our time thinking of a plan before then."
"Mm!"
The time was set: they would set out the next day.
The following day, Jin Yu, Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, Guang Ling, and five hundred Soul Masters gathered in an enclosed space, ready to cross over.
Jin Yu's firm, ringing voice sounded. "Everyone, listen! We're about to travel to the world ten thousand years from now!"
"Please remember who you are-you come from Spirit Hall! And remember your mission on this trip!"
"I won't say any more. Now! Everyone, get ready. We're going to enter that world!"
Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Guang Ling all felt their emotions stir inexplicably. "World ten thousand years in the future, here we come!"
"Gate of Space! Open!!"
Jin Yu activated his ability to travel through spacetime. A Gate of Space opened wide, and everyone was pulled inside.
A few seconds later, the entire group arrived inside the villa in a small town that Jin Yu had rented before leaving.
"Everyone, we're here."
Qian Renxue looked around and asked, "Jin Yu, where on the continent are we now?"
"We're on the Sun Moon Continent landmass."
"The Sun Moon Continent?"
Everyone was somewhat puzzled.
"Yes. The Douluo Continent isn't the only continent in our world. There are others. The mortal plane we live on is called Douluo Star. Around six thousand years ago, shifts in the earth's crust caused the Sun Moon Continent, a distant landmass to the west, to collide with the Douluo Continent!"
"The two continents joined together, and Soul Tool technology came from the Sun Moon Continent," Jin Yu explained.
"I see."
Qian Daoliu asked, "Jin Yu, does Spirit City still exist?"
Jin Yu shook his head. "Spirit City disappeared long ago. Shrek Academy occupies the place now, and it's called Shrek City."
"All right..."
Jin Yu then handed the five hundred Soul Masters the maps he had prepared in advance.
"Spread out to the five hundred locations I marked on the maps and each find a Soul Master faction to join. Remember, your only task is to become Soul Engineers!"
"Go!"
"Yes, Your Highness the Holy Son!"
The five hundred Soul Masters went their separate ways and began carrying out their mission.
As for Qian Renxue and the others, they had come this time to have a look around and learn about this era firsthand.
Jin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Since we're planning to make a move against Mingde Hall, let's go take a look at Mingdu, where it's located. We can familiarize ourselves with the city's layout in advance."
"All right, then let's go."
The group walked out of the villa.
They had only walked around the small town once, yet they had already felt the impact of an entirely different era.
All kinds of Soul Tools for daily life, assistance, and transportation could be seen in town.
Soul Tools had long since become commonplace in everyday life.
It all felt very novel to Qian Renxue, and it also made them realize the importance of Soul Tools.
Although there was a soul-powered train that could take them straight to Mingdu, they chose to walk so they could get a more tangible sense of the era, taking in the sights along the way.
They set out from the town and, roughly half a day later, reached an uninhabited mountain range.
By then, evening had arrived.
Jin Yu said, "Let's pick up the pace and cross these mountains, then find somewhere to rest."
"All right, let's fly across."
The group pressed on at full speed.
A few minutes later, the sounds of fighting suddenly came from ahead.
"Stop for now!"
They stopped in a large tree and watched the commotion in the distance.
Six or seven evil Soul Masters were surrounding and trying to kill a blonde girl.
The girl was surrounded on all sides, with nowhere left to retreat.
Qian Renxue frowned. "These Soul Masters are actually giving off such an evil presence. Could they be...?!"
Qian Daoliu said, "That's right. They're Evil Soul Masters!"
"Our Spirit Hall nearly wiped the Evil Soul Masters out. I've only heard of them; I've never seen one. Are there many Evil Soul Masters ten thousand years later?" Qian Renxue asked in confusion.
Although Spirit Hall had waged war in an attempt to unite the continent, before that, it had always worked to maintain public order and punish the wicked and eliminate evil.
But after Spirit Hall's destruction, the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires cared only about development and fought openly and in secret. Their efforts to maintain public order fell sharply, and the continent began to descend into chaos.
More and more Soul Masters took the evil path.
By now, they had even formed a massive Evil Soul Master faction.
Jin Yu said, "It's quite normal. Evil Soul Masters run rampant in this era, and people die every day at their cruel hands. Not only that, but Soul Masters bully the weak, officials oppress the people, and murder, robbery, and human trafficking are everywhere. This era is in chaos."
"Although Shrek Academy established the Inspection Corps specifically to deal with these things, it's hardly effective at all-nowhere near as effective as our Spirit Hall."
"I never expected things to be such a mess ten thousand years later!" Qian Renxue said angrily.
"Hahahaha! Run! Keep running! Let's see where you can run this time!"
"Little lady, you killed so many of our comrades. Now it's our turn to kill you!"
"Kill her! We'll have earned a great merit when we return to the Holy Spirit Cult! Hahaha!" The Evil Soul Masters looked excited as they unleashed their Martial Souls.
"You evil fiends, even if I die today, I'll drag you down with me!"
"Holy Angel, please descend and help me destroy all evil power!!"
"Martial Soul Possession! Holy Angel!"
A light imbued with immensely powerful sacred and light attributes instantly dispelled the darkness of the entire night.
A gigantic Angel Phantom appeared behind the girl, and a pair of golden angel wings extended from her back. Beneath her feet were yellow, yellow, purple, and purple rings-she was a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.
"Whoa, an angel? Wait! Could she... be Ye Guyi?" Jin Yu's eyes lit up.
Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and the others looked even more astonished. "An Angel Martial Soul! Grandpa, look! Her Martial Soul is a Two-Winged Angel!"
