Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler-Chapter 378: Sea God’s Warning?
--- Chapter 375 ---
"Y-Y-You're a Godking?"
Bo Saixi's eyes widened in disbelief as her whole body trembled when hearing Yunlong's words. This news shocked her beyond belief.
She knew Yunlong's potential, but even Sea God Tower underestimated his talents. The power of the Gods couldn't get wielded so nonchalantly as one has to give their everything and sacrifice blood, sweets, and tears.
Just how old is Yunlong?
According to his story, he was trapped in a confined space for around nine years and fought several gods for another four months in another world. He should have reached adulthood but still just entered his early twenties.
Bo Saixi sucked a cold breath as she realized the man who took her virginity just made another history. There is a sense of achievement in Bo Saixi's heart when thinking about it.
"My daddy is a Godking." She couldn't help but mutter to herself, but soon realized she spouted an embarrassing line and blushed hard.
Yunlong chuckled, "Haha~!"
Meanwhile, Kaguya was seemingly confused and chomped on roasted squid. Her cheeks stretched like a squirrel, making the formerly known Mother of Chakra look adorable.
Yunlong kept roasting seafood on the grill, enjoying the refreshing sea wind. For Bo Saixi, it's been three years.
But for Yunlong and his companions, they are stranded for nearly ten years.
After finishing their food, Bo Saixi brought Yunlong and Kaguya back into the Sea God Temple. She explained that the divine light has weakened in the last three years.
Usually, she could still pray and communicate with the Sea God. However, she couldn't do that even if she prayed for one year.
It left Yunlong with a weird taste in his mouth. Even though he wasn't close with the Sea God and somewhat annoyed with his interference in the God Trials, Sea God wasn't weak.
On the contrary, Sea God is strong. Sea God can even rival Asura God, but their God's position and upbringing tip off the scales of balance.
The difference between 1st Class God and A Godking is massive, which Yunlong realized after becoming one. Not only Godkings couldn't be affected by the 4th and 5th Dimensions, but their control of them is also nearly absolute.
Why nearly absolute?
It's because Godkings aren't the strongest in this universe. Yunlong could vaguely sense after evolving Mortal Sin: Gluttony to the Primordial Lord of Hunger and Gluttony, Beelzebub. Deep in the Douluo Dalu Universe, there is an ancient power.
Yunlong paused momentarily, thinking outside the box.
Since we couldn't contact Sea God and Asura God, why don't we contact other Gods on the Douluo Planet? There are Angel God and Rakshasa God.
He wanted to ask about the condition of the Douluo Divine Realm.
After all, the Outer Gods should have come to the Douluo Divine Realm and surrounded the area. As for the reason, Yunlong didn't know besides some traitorous Gods schemed things from the shadow.
Gu Yuena believed it was Demonic Gods, but Yunlong had a different guest in his mind.
Bo Saixi walked to the stone with a golden trident pierced into it. She hummed a few lines of chants and brought her hand to the Sea God Trident, pulling it.
Swoosh!
A brilliant divine aura exploded from the Sea God Trident, overwhelming the Sea God Temple and causing a pillar of golden light to rise.
Yunlong activated his eyes' prowess and observed the divine aura before smiling in amusement. "I see... So that's how God's Inheritors get their God's position." He murmured calmly.
He activated Sea God's Heart years ago and had the right to challenge Sea God Trials. At the time, He didn't know Sea God's Heart left behind a Will of God inside his Sea Consciousness.
That piece of Sea God's Will became stronger as he challenged Sea God's Trials and finally formed a complete Sea God's Seat when finished.
Unfortunately, Yunlong couldn't finish the Sea God Trials and was dragged to Desolate Ancient Battlefield instead. 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
That desert is the opposite of the Sea God Island, devoid of water.
"Daddy, this is yours." Bo Saixi called Yunlong, handing over the Sea God Trident.
Even though Yunlong has yet to finish the Sea God Trials, he has the Sea God's Premature Will and is qualified to wield this Divine Weapon.
Yunlong grasped the handle of the Sea God Trident and felt the heaviness with his hand, twirling it around as if it was the lightest thing in the world.
The truth is, Sea God Trident is heavy as fuck.
Yunlong twirled it with his pure Physical Prowess.
"Around Fifty-four tons, not bad," Yunlong commented casually. "It's somewhat on par with Dragon Cleaver but weaker than Greed."
'Of course, I'm one of the kind!' Greed suddenly exclaimed proudly.
Yunlong ignored the Ego Weapon and waved the Sea God Trident a few times, nodding in satisfaction. "I have three Ultra Divine Tools now." He said with a smirk.
"Even Gods can be jealous if they knew this."
"Hahaha~!"
Kaguya tilted her head and asked, "Are Ultra Divine Weapons that important?"
"Yes, they are," Yunlong answered earnestly.
"Why don't you explain it to Kaguya, Saixi?"
"Sure, Daddy." Bo Saixi smiled happily.
"Divine Tools are created by Gods or powerful beings close to the power of Gods like a divine blacksmith, with only a True God being able to utilize their true power since it requires immortal energy to tap into these weapons' true strength."
"Each Divine Tools are "neatly." divided into ranks from Quasi-Divine, Divine, Pseudo Ultra Divine, and Ultra Divine Tool, each having intelligence and different abilities. Depending on the grades of these Divine Tools, the wielder's strength increased by a certain amount."
"For example, a 1st Class God with an Ultra Divine Tool can gain the strength of a God-King even while being weaker than one with the tools simply boosting their power to that higher-dimension level. But it won't allow them to beat those at the higher level."
"I see..." Kaguya pondered solemnly. "How do you know so much about this?"
Bo Saixi shook her head and answered, "This information came from the Sea God himself. I planned to explain it after Daddy reached the 7th Stage of Sea God Trials, but he now is a Godking."
"This is one of my duties as the Sea God Temple's Priestess. It's bound to happen, so explaining it now is better."
"Yunlong." Kaguya glanced at Yunlong. "I want..."
"Ultra Divine Tool?" Yunlong guessed her following words.
Kaguya nodded, "Mm."
"I don't need something grand, just a tool that could help me control the Dimensional Power."
The request sounded normal, but Yunlong could only smile bitterly because such a Divine Tool is hard to make.
Well, it's not an impossible request.
[Ding! Sea God has initiated "Divine Will Communication."]
Yunlong was stunned and looked at the Sea God Trident in his hand.
He blinked and was "abruptly." welcomed by a vast blue ocean with the same azure sky.
Sea God appeared, but his appearance was in complete shambles.
A deep bloody scar covered his chest and stretched to his right thigh.
His entire left arm is no more, completely amputated. No, it appears to be bitten by something.
Yunlong frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"Are you okay?"
Sea God laughed bitterly and said, "This is nothing but a scratch."
"Asura and I traveled through the Sea of Stars to return to Douluo Divine Realm, but we got ambushed. At first, the enemy couldn't even enter our eyes, but as we traverse the Sea of Stars, those creatures become stronger and evolve to counter us."
"But you still surprised me, Kid. To think you have become a Godking after surviving in that wicked zone."
"You experienced a lot of things, huh?"
Yunlong smiled and returned, "Not as much as you right now."
Sea God's expression became even more bitter as he coughed profusely to clear his throat. "This conversation is going nowhere."
"Asura and I were currently locked in a dead planet. We got surrounded by these creatures and tried our best to recuperate."
"We need at least seven years to recover completely."
"Seven years..." Yunlong looked at him weirdly.
Sea God waved his hand and explained, "Seven years is nothing when you become a God. We perceive time differently compared to when we were mortals."
"You'll soon find out."
"More importantly, we have a task for you."
"What is it?" Yunlong remained calm.
Sea God stared at Yunlong and replied, "Protect Douluo Planet with everything you can."
"Do not let the Creatures created by Outer Gods touch Douluo Planet, or the consequence will be disastrous."
Yunlong found it weird and returned, "Why so?"
Sea God sighed, "It's because they have sent an army to the Douluo Planet. And the Douluo Planet bears the path to enter the Great Origin Universe."
"If the Outer Gods discovered a way to the Great Origin Universe, something beyond destruction would happen."
"This is not just the demise of one's universe..."
"But also the Great Origin Universe!"
