Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

Luo Yu pondered inexplicably.

"I finally managed to break through, and you're helping me repair it?"

He shook his head.

He slapped his forehead, thinking, "What am I doing having such a vivid imagination at a time like this?"

Could it be that my power has expanded too much after the breakthrough...

He became more solemn.

"Let's talk about this outside; the room is a mess right now," he said.

The Life God King was only too happy to agree and immediately nodded.

"Yes."

"There's also a strange smell in this room."

She fanned her nose with her jade-like hand, attempting to mask her embarrassment.

Little did they know, this comment only made Luo Yu and the Music Deity more awkward, while inside the Boundless Universe Shield, the atmosphere was filled with mirth.

Luo Yu pinched the Music Deity's small hand.

"Be good and wait here for me, I'm going to have a talk with the Life God King," he said.

"Okay."

The Music Deity's face was flushed with shyness; she no longer cared if Luo Yu was alone with another woman. She just hoped everyone would leave soon.

Luo Yu embraced the graceful and charming Music Deity and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Attention to detail can soothe a woman's emotions.

Ignoring others and focusing solely on oneself at critical moments can lead to love's eventual shattering.

Indeed, the Music Deity's gaze softened, filled with affection.

"Brother Yu, you should go now. The Life God King is waiting for you," she said.

"Hmm."

Seeing Luo Yu and the Music Deity being so affectionate with each other, the Life God King inexplicably felt uncomfortable.

Her red lips couldn't help but curl.

"Let's go," said Luo Yu.

With a swish, the Life God King transformed into a rainbow light and flew out the window.

"Creak."

Luo Yu opened the door and stepped out, looking at the Life God King waiting outside, he shook his head and sighed.

"You were once a fair maiden; how did you end up breaking the window?" he lamented.

The Life God King immediately felt embarrassed.

"Follow me."

The two figures shot into the sky and disappeared. The Music Deity, looking at the mess inside the room, manipulated her divine power to gather up all the wood and debris.

Then she tidied up the room, conjuring a breeze to dispel the odd smell.

She did not return to her own room but obediently waited for Luo Yu to come back.

After cleaning up, she walked towards the bed.

When she sat down on the bed, she was blocked by something invisible, as if there was an unseen barrier obstructing her.

"Huh?"

The Music Deity was surprised.

Haunted?

The bed is right here, why can't I sit on it?

She reached out to touch it and discovered that there indeed appeared to be an invisible wall preventing her.

"What's going on?"

Curiosity and wonder rose in the Music Deity's eyes.

Since she had to wait anyway, she might as well investigate what this was all about.

She began to activate her divine power and probe the invisible barrier before her.

The Formation Emperor and Charm Emperor, who had previously been gloating, immediately lost all traces of their smiles.

They became tense.

No messing around! This isn't something to be investigated.

If this was discovered, it would be an utter social death.

They had to keep in mind that their clothes had been completely shattered by the destructive force Luo Yu unleashed earlier.

...

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Outside the Douluo Planet, in the vast and infinite darkness of the universe, two streaks of light appeared.

It was the Life God King and Luo Yu.

Luo Yu, puzzled, asked, "Why have you brought me here? What are you planning to do?"

The Life God King's eyes were heavy as she gazed into the depths of the universe, seemingly wary of something.

She spoke languidly.

"Luo Yu, do you think the Divine Realm is powerful?"

"Not as powerful as I am."

The Life God King's gaze froze, and she stiffly turned her neck, at a loss for words for a moment.

Wanting to say something.

But feeling that what Luo Yu said didn't seem wrong.

"Just say what's on your mind," Luo Yu sensed that the Life God King was behaving oddly, as though she was hiding something.

"Although you are very strong now, you may not be aware," the Life God King said, "that there are countless planets, or planes, in the universe."

"Some belong to lower planes, and some to higher planes."

"Places like Soul Land are considered to be of a lower rank, while the Divine Realm is obviously much more advanced than Soul Land."

"Of course, the plane that has now merged with the Divine Realm can no longer be called a lower plane."

"At least in the star region we currently inhabit, it is considered the strongest plane."

"But..." the Life God King said gravely, "the universe is so vast and boundless that many deities from our Divine Realm have ventured out to explore, wandering for tens of thousands of years without finding the edge of the universe, even discovering countless other planes where other beings exist."

"Most are weaker than the Divine Realm, but there are planes stronger than the Divine Realm as well."

"They practice not the Martial Spirit System, but Dou Qi, Magic, Body Refinement, and even the incomprehensible Mechanical Civilization, Mechanical Ascension."

As the Life God King spoke, she became increasingly reflective, in awe of the universe's grandeur.

She expected Luo Yu to be amazed, shocked by her revelations.

Instead, she found Luo Yu unnervingly calm, even with a strange look in his eye.

"Aren't you surprised at all?" The Life God King couldn't help but say, "When I first learned about these things from the Ancient Divine Realm Tome, I couldn't believe it for a long time."

"Cough cough, keep talking."

Luo Yu silently thought if he wasn't aware of even this, then his transversal would have been in vain.

The Life God King said:

"Actually, you've also noticed before that the deities of the Divine Realm have always regarded mortals as lower beings, considering themselves a notch above."

"And higher beings are lonely, so upon discovering the vastness of the universe, how could they not want to seek out others of the same level?"

Luo Yu nodded, just as the humans from his hometown always wanted to find aliens.

"However, the Divine Realm later began to extensively prohibit searching for other planes' beings," said the Life God King. "Do you know why?"

"Hmm?" Luo Yu was puzzled.

The Life God King sighed:

"Because after a long period of exploration, my forebear Divine Kings realized that the universe is essentially a dark forest."

"Lower planes discovered would face the risk of destruction and invasion."

"Don't expect mercy from the strong because by devouring you, their plane will evolve, and all the native creatures will benefit greatly, a benefit that could drive anyone mad."

"Just like how you devoured the Divine Realm."

"Moreover, you can't be sure whether the weak plane you spared today won't grow strong in the future and turn around to devour you."

"Just like how you devoured the Divine Realm."

Luo Yu's lips twitched.

I suspect you're targeting me, but I have no proof.

He hesitated, "Aren't the planes governed by the Divine Realm doing well?"

The Life God King shook her head.

"First, that's because I've always been stopping it, not wishing for the Divine Realm to act in ways that would obliterate life."

"Second, even if these mortal planes were devoured, it wouldn't help the Divine Realm to evolve much."

"I've heard about the invasion of the abyssal plane, and in fact, why is the abyssal plane scared of being discovered by the Divine Realm? Because these kinds of planes, which can autonomously produce God Rank powerhouses without deities, now have devouring value."

Luo Yu thoughtfully analyzed, "So, for a plane to survive in the universe, the best strategy is to avoid being discovered by other planes?"

"To quietly and modestly develop?"

The Life God King looked at him with approving eyes.

"Exactly," she confirmed.

"In fact, the past great powers of the Divine Realm summarized that the experience is to hide their own plane, then send people out to travel in the universe, to conquer and devour beneficial planes, to become stronger."

"And if they discover a powerful plane, they record its location, cautiously avoid it, and return to devour it once they are strong enough to compete."

Luo Yu frowned.

"It's somewhat bloody and cruel."

"But it seems unavoidable."

"Because if you don't become strong quickly, one day when another plane discovers you, and without sufficient strength to resist, the ones facing annihilation will be you."

"Yes, exactly." The Life God King sighed, "The laws of the universe are so brutal, even more terrifying than the survival of the fittest among animals."

Luo Yu wondered, "The reason you came to me this time... surely it's not just to tell me these things, right?"
