Chapter 1574: Chapter 1574: Family Reunion
“Mom, I miss you so much too.” Lan Xuanyu hugged his mother, but could he really not leave? He was now a level 9 Sky Fighter of the Fighting Sky Department, an existence on par with the department head, burdened with too many responsibilities. It wasn’t something he could just walk away from at will!
“Alright, he needs to hurry back, so let’s keep this short. If you have any questions, you can ask us.” Tang Wulin walked up to them, watching the mother and son embrace, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes. He also couldn’t bear to part with his son, but reason left him with no choice.
Lan Xuanyu released his embrace with his mother and softly said, “Mom, don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Dad, have you seen the Deep Red Realm data I sent back? You all once fought against the abyssal plane, doesn’t this Deep Red Realm bear a resemblance to it?”
Tang Wulin nodded and said seriously, “It indeed resembles it. The creature characteristics are similar, and so is the immortal trait. However, it’s not of the same level. This Deep Red Realm has an extremely high level, something unprecedented in our lifetime. The whole plane is also different from the former abyssal plane. The abyssal plane was effectively sealed by us for a long time, so during the initial millennia of battling it, we mainly guarded the exit to prevent it from escaping. But later on, the Holy Spirit Cult, made up of evil Soul Masters, created an opportunity for it, allowing the abyssal plane to emerge in the far northern lands, which caused that final calamity. In reality, everything was calculated by your grandfather. In the end, the will of your great-grandfather and grandfather acted, defeating the Abyss Sage King, which allowed Douluo Planet to devour all the energy of the abyssal plane, rekindling the seed of life, permitting the evolution of the Eternal Tree, and later the evolution of the entire star, enabling our Soul Masters to break through to above God Rank levels.”
“Otherwise, we might not even have had the chance to enter the universe. So, when the abyssal plane appeared back then, it was a disaster for us, but also an opportunity. It was your grandfather’s arrangement that ultimately enabled Douluo Planet to avoid danger and turn calamity into a blessing. This Deep Red Realm seems somewhat similar to the abyssal creatures; I even wonder if there’s a connection to the former abyssal plane. But it might also be that planes adept at devouring are of this type. However, the situation of the Deep Red Realm is far more powerful than that of the original abyssal plane.”
“Back then, I can almost be certain that the abyssal plane didn’t have the capacity for space combat. They could perhaps fly through space, but they couldn’t suddenly appear on a planet’s surface, much less use themselves as weapons for attack like the Deep Red Realm does. That kind of transformation is likely bordering on the God Rank. So, when fighting them, you have to be particularly careful.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “Dad, the Sea God Pavilion Master reminded me that the Golden Dragon Spear can resolve the immortal traits of the abyssal plane. I secretly tried it and it indeed works. I also covertly absorbed some of the plane energy from the Deep Red Realm, which can be converted into life energy, thanks to the Treasure Hunting Beast’s illusion, and the other side didn’t notice. Until later when one of them…” He briefly recounted his battle with the abyssal plane.
Just as he finished, Gu Yuena couldn’t help but raise her hand and lightly knock on his head, saying, “You’re too bold! Aren’t you afraid the Deep Red Realm will target you? Back then…” She suddenly paused.
Tang Wulin, standing next to her, couldn’t help but glance at her, his eyes showing a hint of peculiarity.
Gu Yuena’s cheeks flushed, “What are you looking at? Can’t I reminisce a little?”
“Hmm, of course, you can. Yes, your mom is right, doing this is very risky. Back then, because I could use the Golden Dragon Spear to devour the life energy of abyssal creatures, it played a significant role in our battles against the abyss. Devouring the life energy of some powerful abyssal entities weakened them until the Abyss Sage King acted, making it impossible for us to withstand. Compared to my strength back then, your current power might in fact be weaker when facing the Deep Red Realm, so you absolutely must be more cautious.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “I will definitely be careful. However, I also see this as an opportunity. The Deep Red Realm plane is a uniquely strange plane with characteristics between creation and destruction. By devouring their energy, I can convert it into energy suitable for me. With the support of this energy, my cultivation can rapidly advance. If I can break through to the Super God Level in a short time and significantly evolve my bloodline, whatever the Deep Red Realm wants to do to me will hardly threaten my safety. Do you have any experience to share with me?”
Tang Wulin’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Regarding experience, there are mainly two points. First, if the Deep Red Realm is similar to the former abyssal plane, then it’s not invincible on its own. By slaying its strong opponents and devouring the energy they provide, you can directly weaken it. Second, from the current situation, as long as you don’t get too close to the body of the Deep Red Realm, it should still not be able to attend to you. To it, devouring the life energy of planets is more important. The amount of energy you’ve absorbed so far is insignificant compared to the life energy of Celestial Harmony Star. However, you must not let it continue to devour freely. Otherwise, once it consumes to the level of the Divine World, nothing will be able to suppress it, and that would be the greatest disaster. Therefore, no matter the previous relationship with the Dragon Horse Star System, we must find a way to cooperate with them to completely leave the Deep Red Realm stranded on Celestial Harmony Star and annihilate it. Otherwise, it will inevitably become a great threat in the future. By comparison, the newly formed Dragon Horse Federation might pose a threat to us, but that threat will take a long time to materialize.”
“Of course, all of this must be based on your own safety. Your safety is not only important to me and your mom, but also to yourself, and is even crucial to the entire Douluo Federation. You yourself should know this point clearly. I do not oppose a certain degree of risk-taking when there is great gain to be had, but don’t be overly aggressive. We are your strong backing. When needed, we will definitely be by your side.”
Lan Xuanyu was a bit surprised to hear that his father did not entirely prevent him from taking risks.
Gu Yuena, however, rolled her eyes at Tang Wulin, snorted coldly to express her dissatisfaction but did not verbally dispute.
Tang Wulin smiled and said, “If, a thousand years ago, I was the protagonist of that great war, then a thousand years later, today, you are truly the protagonist. The real solution to all problems isn’t in defeating the Dragon Horse Federation, nor in overthrowing this Deep Red Realm, but in your true realization of becoming the Dragon God. To be honest, we never held much hope for this before. Because it was just too difficult, a path too hard to walk. But you have gradually made this path possible. We’ve already sensed the aura that truly belongs to the Dragon God from you.”
“The Deep Red Realm achieving the level of the Divine World is certainly a terrifying thing, possibly engulfing the entire Dragon Horse Star System and eventually threatening us as well. But if you can become the Dragon God and rebuild the Divine Realm, then what does the threat of the Deep Red Realm amount to? The level of the Deep Red Realm can still rise, but this sort of plane formed by devouring becomes more unstable as it ascends. But you are different; the day you achieve Dragon God, a natural Divine Realm will inevitably come into existence, and that will be the true Divine Realm. Therefore, whatever benefits the advancement of your cultivation shouldn’t be missed. To become the Dragon God, the amount of energy you need will be astronomical, and it’s impossible to achieve this by merely relying on your own cultivation. Much like a thousand years ago, the Deep Red Realm is both a disaster and an opportunity, just like the former abyssal plane. You’re smart enough to understand what I mean.”
