Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

```

"A trump card against the gods?"

Luo Tiance and Luo Fan, father and son, found it hard to believe and looked incredulously at the handsome eighteen-year-old youth.

"Eighteen!"

"You're only eighteen, and you already have a trump card against the gods?"

Luo Fan exclaimed in astonishment over and over again.

You must know that even Luo Tiance felt deep apprehension inside when facing the god-like adversaries coming to life, one after another, yet this youngster was fearless.

Actually, the situation in Great Xia was very grim at the moment.

The whole of Great Xia lived under a shadow—the process of countless gods awakening outside its borders. If all the gods were to awaken, it would be a disaster of monumental proportions.

"Us versus them; they'll always be different at heart. If the sons of Huaxia don't strengthen themselves, are we to wait for those foreign gods to someday grant us a way out?"

No one was that naive.

So, under such pressure, some chose to press on with their heavy burdens, vowing to fight against the gods to their last drop of blood should such a calamitous day arrive, while others defected to foreign lands, turning traitors and renouncing their Great Xia identities.

There were also traitors, like carcinogenic tumors, lurking within Great Xia's borders. Luo Tiance had strived for a long time but was unable to root them all out—it was simply too vast an area to investigate, too difficult to purge.

In fact, the situation could even be considered optimistic, because Great Xia still held onto its last hope, known as God's Child Luo Yu.

This allowed all the people of Great Xia a glimmer of hope amid despair. Huaxia wasn't without any signs of the gods' revival either. At the very least, they had Luo Yu, their sole survivor, whose miraculous birth far surpassed any so-called God's Child from abroad, a silver lining in their misfortune.

The awakening of Luo Yu today further lifted the spirits of the people and bolstered their confidence to oppose the foreign forces.

Otherwise, in recent years, with Luo Yu kept out of the public eye, many citizens had begun to doubt the authenticity of Godchild Luo Yu's identity, becoming increasingly anxious and unsettled.

"Xiao Yu, do you really have a trump card against the awakening gods?" Luo Tiance wasn't unwilling to believe his grandson, but the matter was so incredible and of the utmost importance, as it pertained to the lifeline and fate of Great Xia.

Luo Yu smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Grandpa."

"No need for a trump card."

"As long as I truly become strong before the gods awaken, then those gods will be nothing but chickens and dogs, and the real twilight of the gods will come."

Hearing Luo Yu speak in what seemed half-jokingly, Luo Tiance and his son both looked a bit stunned.

Knowing Luo Yu's personality well, they were clear that this attitude was far from a joke; it sounded more like a declaration.

Luo Fan opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

Luo Tiance stepped forward, patted Luo Yu on the shoulder, and lovingly said:

"Xiao Yu, you're still a child. Don't carry such a heavy burden. If something really happens, Grandpa is here to take the brunt for you."

Luo Yu sighed—A child?

He was already eighteen centimeters, no, eighteen years old.

He was no longer a little kid.

He said with a smile:

"I'd like to live off my elders too, but my strength won't allow me to keep a low profile anymore, alas—"

"Hey, you brat, you really are bold." Luo Fan huffed, but thinking about Luo Yu's series of incredible feats, it seemed he really did have the capital to be arrogant.

The indulgent grandfather Luo Tiance just shook his head.

"This isn't arrogance; this is confidence."

"I'm going upstairs; there's nothing interesting to talk about with you two old men." Luo Yu turned and headed upstairs after speaking.

He had already spotted the black-haired, mature beauty Qin Lan and the JK girl Jia Lan peeking around the corner of the staircase, secretly watching the scene here for quite some time.

Helping Luo Fan stand up just a moment ago had really shocked the two women, their eyes filled with stars.

"This kid... truly a handful."

Luo Fan watched Luo Yu go upstairs to meet the girls, laughing and shaking his head helplessly. In the past, his father had kept a tight leash on him, then his wife, and now his son was starting to show signs of pushing him around, not taking his father's authority seriously at all.

He really had no presence.

"Buzz—"

Luo Tiance's communicator vibrated.

He blinked back into the study, careful not to reveal the fact that Luo Fan's legs had been healed just yet.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—"

As he answered, a series of virtual holographic projections of people appeared in the study.

It was indeed the highest authorities of the other Eight Great Provinces of Great Xia, each governing over a hundred cities.

Zhu Wushi, always blunt and straightforward, was the first to speak:

"Elder Luo!"

"I'm not trying to criticize, Zhu, but this time you let your grandson overdo the act."

"Using the Huanling Pearl to conjure an image of a god would have been quite enough, two images are also fine, even three wouldn't have been unacceptable, but how did it end up summoning images of hundreds of gods? This is a joke."

The other provincial authorities also nodded in agreement.

Liu Shengji couldn't help but give a wry smile: "Elder Luo, you've really made quite a stir this time. Not only has it spread across the domestic media, but it has even blown up on the mainstream websites of all the foreign forces."

Luo Tiance gave them a sidelong glance.

"Wasn't it you guys who reminded me to make my grandson's performance a bit more realistic?"

"More realistic, yes, but it wasn't supposed to create such a huge commotion. It's a bit too exaggerated. Isn't it heartening?" Liu Shengji lamented, feeling a twinge in his heart every time he thought of the awakening video. Was that something a human could manage?

"Indeed, the act was a bit over the top, defying all norms. What kind of power can summon a hundred ancient spirits of gods? This is purely a joke, probably no one will believe it." Zhu Wushi grumbled, for he too was dumbstruck when first viewing the video. The shock was substantial, but once he remembered it was all an act, he came back to his senses.
