Soul Land: Top Comprehension-Chapter 444 - 258: I’m Not the Person I Once Was

Further north in the Land of the Far North lies the ocean, but even the area north of the Core Circle is blocked by Soul Beasts, firmly trapping the Abyss within the Core Circle’s bounds.

In the past years, no matter how human Soul Masters hunted Soul Beasts on Douluo Continent, the Land of the Far North remained a pure land, a paradise for all Soul Beasts there.

However, the Abyss invasion directly occupied their Core Circle in the Land of the Far North, disrupting the lives of the Soul Beasts there.

Under the Snow Empress’s command, the defense line of the Soul Beasts in the Land of the Far North was not weak, and the Bomb Bees of the Bee Emperor couldn’t break through.

"It seems we can only try to open a spatial passage in another location on Douluo Continent," Emperor Zhi spoke.

He wasn’t actually addressing the other Seven Great Emperors but suggesting to the Abyss Saint Monarch.

After all, the true decision-maker was the Abyss Saint Monarch, and only the Abyss Saint Monarch could accomplish it.

The eight Emperors are currently trapped, and if they follow Emperor Zhi’s idea of opening a spatial passage in other regions, none of them can help.

Of course, perhaps there is still some use, namely attracting the attention of Douluo Continent’s strong individuals.

"Haven’t we had contact with Douluo Continent before? Didn’t we contact the Demon Emperor through the previous connection with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King? Though our calculations of the coordinates for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s location aren’t highly precise, they are enough to locate us within the ocean of Douluo Continent."

Emperor Zhi continued, "According to the information we have, the area occupied by the ocean on Douluo Continent is vast. If we can open a passage deep in the sea, then Su Yu certainly cannot grasp it immediately, and he may not even sense it when we create the spatial vortex."

"..."

With Emperor Zhi’s analysis, the several Emperors also began pondering the feasibility.

Most importantly, even deep within the Abyss, the Abyss Saint Monarch was also considering this.

He found Emperor Zhi’s suggestion promising.

Only...

"The Sea Soul Beasts in the deep sea are similarly formidable."

The advantage is that though the Sea Soul Beasts are powerful, and their strength not weaker than the powerhouses above Douluo Continent, they lack such cohesion.

"Deploying all eight Great Emperors to the Land of the Far North was somewhat miscalculated."

In the Abyss’s first ten layers, apart from the first layer, which is the Abyss Saint Monarch, the Lord of the Plane, and the tenth layer’s Celestial Bull Monarch, the Abyss Saint Monarch’s steed, the other eight Great Emperors are trapped in the Land of the Far North.

Although it laid the groundwork for the Abyss’s invasion of Douluo Continent, in essence, it has plunged into a stalemate, trapped by Douluo Continent in an alternative manner.

In a dilemma.

Therefore, breaking the current deadlock becomes the top priority.

"However, even without the Spirit Emperor and Emperor Lie, the sheer strength of my Abyss is enough to establish a sufficient baseline deep in the ocean and then invade Douluo Continent."

No matter how many powerhouses are in the deep sea, can there be more than in the Abyss?

Among the Abyss’s 108 layers, at least eighteen Divine-level powerhouses exist, even though only eight are trapped now. Moreover, there are eighteen Extreme Douluo-level Emperors; although they are slightly weaker, powerhouses of their level on Douluo Continent are absolute powerhouses.

...

"Su Yu."

There is a hint of summoning in Su Yu’s mind.

"Plane Will?" Following the summon, Su Yu entered the Will Space.

He was slightly surprised in his heart; it seemed the Spiritual nature of the Plane Will had grown stronger. Now, it could actively entangle and lure the Abyss to devour itself, attempting to cooperate with Su Yu to reverse devour the Abyss, and even directly summon Su Yu.

It had completely developed the Spiritual nature that an independent entity should possess.

If Tang Hao weren’t conducting possession, a true Spirit Body might have effortlessly metamorphosed.

The Plane Will couldn’t help it.

For the past month, Su Yu had been attempting to find a loophole in him.

He is the Plane Will; he is the origin of Douluo Continent.

Su Yu developed the cultivation technique to devour Alien Energy, ultimately focusing his attention on the origin of Douluo Continent, trying to leverage the cultivation technique to communicate with the source’s power to achieve the function of devouring Abyssal Energy.

To the Plane Will, this was akin to someone constantly trying to drill a hole in him.

Very uncomfortable.

Especially with Su Yu’s persistent attempts.

He was also quite irritated, ultimately choosing to call Su Yu over for negotiation.

The Plane Will’s thoughts transformed into information appearing in his mind, and Su Yu understood why the Plane Will summoned him.

His expression was somewhat awkward.

But he quickly returned to normal.

"I didn’t do anything wrong. Wasn’t it all for the Plane Will?"

"You want to rely on my strength to devour Abyssal Energy?"

"No, no, no, not your strength, but the world’s strength." Su Yu shook his head.

This needed to be clarified.

Even if the Plane Will eventually truly forms, it doesn’t represent the entire world. It merely controls the entire plane and can mobilize the plane’s strength.

However, the operation of the various forces within the plane, he doesn’t understand.

It’s like a human being, not necessarily coordinating even the movement of their limbs and not understanding the structure of muscle cells within. Even a Plane Will with spiritual nature born from the plane cannot fully comprehend the composition of all world forces.

Regarding the rules of the plane itself, the Plane Will itself cannot mobilize.

Therefore, Su Yu initially didn’t think of letting the Plane Will cooperate.

"This world possesses true origin rules, just like an object dropping in mid-air, or different attributes of Primordial Energy having different characteristics. As long as the operation of Soul Power aligns with the origin rules, it’s enough to perform the corresponding effect."

Devouring...

Regarding the Soul Power operation pathways related to devouring, Su Yu has also researched them. But achieving the refinement of Abyssal Energy this way remains too challenging.

Therefore, he requires assistance.

Like how auxiliary Soul Skills of a Support Soul Master can strengthen another Soul Master’s power and defense, the operation of Soul Power is similar.

The operational effect of the auxiliary type strengthens the devouring abilities.

And this assistance must be strong enough.

On Douluo Continent, the strongest is naturally the origin of the plane.

The source of the rules.

"Some Soul Skills can consistently maintain percentage effects, representing the most perfect utilization of rules, and the Soul Ring providing the Soul Skill serves as the best bridge for Soul Masters to communicate with the rules."

Su Yu now desires to create this type of Soul Skill himself and simplify it as much as possible, offering it to ordinary Soul Masters for cultivation to refine Abyssal Energy.

"With the broad base of Soul Masters absorbing and devouring Abyssal Energy, Douluo Continent will develop more rapidly—at least faster than relying solely on me, Elder Yi, and Gu Yuena."

Furthermore, what Su Yu hasn’t said is that the Abyssal Energy they three devour is not necessarily attributed to Douluo Continent...

When Soul Masters fall, the energy naturally returns to heaven and earth.

However, Su Yu, Gu Yuena, and Ellex might directly take this portion of the energy along...

Thus, it is only by ordinary, widespread Soul Masters absorbing this energy that Douluo Continent can genuinely benefit.

"Moreover, I plan to further develop this cultivation technique in the future, to not only devour Abyssal Energy but also to devour energy from the cosmos, the Power of the Stars."

Douluo Continent cannot support the birth of a Divine Level, but that’s because all the strength originates from Douluo Continent.

What if a Soul Master cultivates using the Power of the Stars?

What if a Soul Master trains in outer space?

Absorb the energy from the cosmos, achieve breakthroughs, then return to Douluo Continent, and after eventually falling, everything nurtures Douluo Continent back.

This is the mechanism a cultivation realm ought to have.

Douluo Continent still isn’t perfect.

After hearing Su Yu’s words, the Plane Will didn’t respond, nor did it stop Su Yu from continuing to develop the cultivation technique.

And without the obstruction of the Plane Will, Su Yu indeed easily communicated with the origin of the plane.

"Indeed, I’m no longer the person I once was." Su Yu smiled.

He is no longer merely an explorer searching for patterns, connecting with the heavens.

"I can now rely on my strength to communicate with the rules’ layers, connect with the plane’s origin, and ’reach out to explore’."
