Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1684: Chapter 1864: The Mother of Deep Red’s Scheme

The spaceship glided steadily through space.

Seated inside the lounge, Lan Xuanyu still struggled to compose his emotions.

The display of parental affection was a roller coaster of emotions! It almost led to the revelation of his identity. At the very least, Jialin might have noticed something, but she said nothing and left early.

However, during the blessing exchange, Xuanyu and Xiuxiu hugged their parents, leaving the powerful in the Soul Land astounded. After all, his appearance was that of an exceptional beauty!

Bai Xiuxiu nestled beside him, "Teacher Nana and Uncle Le really have had it tough. Compared to them, we’ve had it pretty smooth."

Lan Xuanyu chuckled, "When I propose to you, it will definitely be more extravagant than theirs. This wave of affection choked me up! I’m still reeling from it."

"Pfft," Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t help but laugh, "Shouldn’t we be happy for them?"

Lan Xuanyu laughed, "Of course, I am happy. But my old man didn’t give me any heads-up about this, I wasn’t prepared at all!"

Bai Xiuxiu giggled, "Isn’t that just great? That’s called a surprise."

Not just a surprise, but happiness. Seeing one’s parents united and content, what could be more joyous? His thoughts and divine consciousness were clear. When they left Douluo Planet, Lan Xuanyu had already felt his cultivation stabilize. The energy absorbed from the Deep Red Realm, along with the progress after merging with the Void Bug, had completely been assimilated. He was a brand-new self.

Once the Deep Red Realm is shattered, regardless of whether he attains God King or not, he will reclaim his identity, no longer wishing to play the role of the Golden Dragon Princess. When the time comes to reveal his male identity, the Dragon Clan wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.

Hope everything goes smoothly.

Celestial Harmony Star.

Gazing down from space upon Celestial Harmony Star, the only sensation would be fear.

The once beautifully verdant planet was now entirely dark red. Yes, the entire planet had become dark red.

The surface, speckled with varying shades of dark red, appeared to writhe and pulse, siphoning everything from this planet brimming with abundant life energy. It was greedily devouring.

Through the enveloping layers of deep red, one could see that there were numerous creatures within. Some were frenziedly charging, while others were engaged in slaughter. Occasionally plumes of air would surge.

At the site of the former Tianhe Palace, a gigantic palace had arisen, ancient and profound in its deep red hue; colossal magical patterns were imprinted upon its surface. Closer inspection would reveal that these patterns depicted various forms of Deep Red Realm lifeforms.

Every creature here was created by the Mother of Deep Red, replicated and imprinted from various cosmic creatures she had encountered, taking their strengths to ultimately forge them as her subordinates.

Now, within this enormous palace, the Mother of Deep Red reigned supreme, appearing even more radiant than before, her lavish robes adorned with patterns that shimmered like ruby gemstones.

Her eyes had become increasingly deep, seeming to layer countless planes within.

Rings of dark red light continued to surge from beneath her, permeating and merging into her body.

The Mother of Deep Red wore a rare, faint smile. It wasn’t just she who had transformed: standing below her were exactly forty-eight Super God-level powerhouses. Anyone below Super God Level wasn’t qualified to stand here.

Each of these Super God-level powerhouses exuded a composed and profound aura, their strengths clearly enhanced.

"Congratulations, Mother, on achieving the Great Dao." A man at the forefront on the left stepped forward, bowing respectfully to the Mother of Deep Red, his face full of admiration.

The Mother of Deep Red’s smile deepened, "The Sky Dragon and Sky Horse probably never imagined the core of Celestial Harmony Star possessed such immense life energy. In terms of life level, it might be a bit inferior, but the sheer magnitude of this life energy far exceeded my expectations. Only one more step remains, and I shall attain God King. Yan Long, have you also stepped into the Half-step God King level?"

The man responded respectfully, "Yes, Mother. I just crossed into it."

The Mother of Deep Red nodded slightly, "Good. When we devour Sky Dragon Planet or Sky Horse Star, it will be the moment we establish our new world. Tienshen, how about you? Have you entered?"

On the right, another man stood at the forefront, his face obscured by layers of black mist. He replied respectfully, "Mother, I’ve barely made it as well."

The Mother of Deep Red asked calmly, "How goes the preparation of the plan?"

Tienshen responded, "It shouldn’t be long now. I can feel the opportunity is nearing."

"Good. Proceed according to plan. If you succeed, then you will become the second God King in our future new world, beyond me."

Upon hearing these words, the present Super God-level powerhouses couldn’t help but be surprised, looking toward Tienshen at the right forefront. Even Yan Long across from him had a glint of gloom flash across his eyes.

"In human terms, jealousy is the original sin. Before the new world comes to fruition, you must not harbor such emotions. All plans aim to solidify our new world more firmly. Everything we do is to better obscure the laws of the universe. No one can oppose the universe’s laws; only by better hiding ourselves can we avoid being crushed by them. Understand?"

Yan Long quickly and respectfully replied, "Understood, Mother. If the elder brother achieves God King, naturally I would be pleased."

The Mother of Deep Red listened to his insincere words and stated coolly, "The new world I desire isn’t just an ordinary Divine Realm. That wouldn’t withstand any cosmic force. Only by mastering Multi-dimensional Space and achieving beyond six dimensions can we slightly contend with the laws and obscure them for eternity. One God King can’t accomplish this. Long Tianyang of the Sky Dragon Planet is actually attempting the same thing, but her courage falls short, her progress too slow. Otherwise, with her innate talents, she might have succeeded long ago. We are taking a shortcut, yet at this stage, we must stabilize. Before being fully prepared, we dare not easily establish a Divine Realm. As long as we don’t elevate the plane or set up godhood, the universe’s laws won’t act against us yet. We need more pivotal points to support our new world. When that day comes, even if you all become God Kings, nothing would be impossible."

"Thank you, Mother!" Numerous Deep Red Realm Super God-level powerhouses bowed in unison, many with excitement gleaming in their eyes.

Yan Long also consented, though deep down, he harbored disdain. All of us becoming God Kings? That was merely Mother giving you a sliver of hope. The energy needed to achieve God King is colossal. Even devouring both Dragon Horse stars might not suffice for several to attain God King. Once the new world is built, Mother’s first action might be a purge. To deceive the universe’s laws is incredibly difficult; all traces of the Deep Red Realm must be purged as much as possible, which naturally includes her "children." Only those with sufficient strength, at least at the Half-step God King level, have a chance of avoiding cleansing.

Involuntarily, he glanced once more at the mysterious Tienshen across, realizing that Tienshen was the first offspring Mother birthed, and the only one among them who truly inherited her legacy. If they were all Mother’s children, then Tienshen was born directly by Mother, whereas they seemed more like creations. Therefore, Mother’s regard for Tienshen had always been unique. This filled Yan Long’s heart with jealousy, yet he was helpless. Tienshen’s strength might be above his own.

The Mother of Deep Red surveyed the progeny below her coolly, "In seven days, I will complete the full devouring, and Celestial Harmony Star will become a part of the Deep Red Realm, existing as the plane’s core. By then, it will be our time to head for the Sky Dragon and Sky Horse. Let’s see what these Sky Dragon and Sky Horse can muster against my deep red tide!"

"Yes!"
