Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

"What do you mean?"

Luo Yu had, honestly, never before seen the Life God King lose composure and reveal such an excited expression.

"Come on, spit it out," Gu Yuena urged from the side.

The Life God King said, "Based on my just now observation, I've realized that this divine tree is truly extraordinary, definitely not comparable to the Ancient Life Tree."

"The Ancient Life Tree has now taken root firmly in Soul Land, its roots stretching tens of thousands of miles, presumably already spread across most territories of Soul Land, and it is still growing and spreading."

"What's so good about that?" Di Tian asked.

The Life God King glanced at him.

"Try tearing the space and see."

Di Tian's palm transformed into Black Dragon Claw, swirling with dominating black energy, aiming to tear the void.

"Huh?"

Di Tian was astonished because he found that what used to be a tearable space was now as solid as a rock, showing no signs of breaking at all.

"You step back, I'll try."

Gu Yuena's Beautiful Eyes sparkled, as she manipulated the power of space, intending to pierce through the void.

But the space just rippled slightly.

She widened her Beautiful Eyes:

"This... I can't even perform spatial travel anymore?"

"How is that possible."

"You call this a good thing? It's like I've lost a means to kill enemies and escape," Gu Yuena looked towards the Life God King.

The Life God King calmly said:

"Of course, it's a good thing."

"If just anyone could tear through space, it would mean that the plane's level is too low, a few strong fighters have a brawl and the plane would collapse."

"How prestigious would such a fragile plane be?"

"Are you suggesting that the Douluo plane has evolved to another level because of this divine tree taking root?" Gu Yuena said in surprise.

The Life God King smiled and said, "What do you think? Now even you, a god king proficient in the power of space, can't break through it. How many grades higher do you think Soul Land has become compared to before?"

"Continue," Luo Yu listened quietly.

The Life God King said, "You all should have sensed it, right? The land of Soul Land has become more solid, plants are mutating, and the Spiritual Energy has become richer than before, advancing towards another level."

"That's right," everyone nodded.

The Life God King said, "This indicates that the strength limit allowed by the laws of Soul Land has also been raised again, and that limit is far from being the Divine King anymore."

"Now Gu Yuena can't tear through space. When she can reach the point of doing it again, that will mean she has reached the new limit."

Joy appeared on everyone's faces.

"The past limit of Soul Land was the level 99 Titled Douluo, which was very difficult. Of course, they hope the higher the limit, the better."

The Life God King too was very pleased, as after all, she had been trapped at the Divine King level for countless years.

"Also, have you noticed the leaves on this divine tree?"

"Ah?" Everyone was puzzled.

The Life God King pointed at a huge leaf with emerald-green and golden patterns and sighed, "Each leaf is unique, as if it's engraved with the patterns of The Great Path."

"If one could acquire a leaf corresponding to their own cultivation direction, their enlightenment abilities would increase, and their strength would skyrocket."

Everyone was stunned, their eyes burning as they looked at the massive number of leaves on the giant tree.

"Does this divine tree also have the effect of enlightenment?"

At this moment, Luo Yu stepped forward and said:

"Everyone should automatically disregard this benefit. No one should covet the leaves of this tree, I'll explain the specific reasons later."

Everyone naturally had immense faith in Luo Yu. Even though they had doubts, they did not voice them and nodded in agreement.

The Life God King was somewhat puzzled as to why Luo Yu would prevent everyone from picking the leaves but still skipped over the topic and continued:

"The most important discovery is that I've found this divine tree does not draw energy from Soul Land for its growth."

"Rather than drawing energy from the planet itself, it extracts the chaotic energy from the cosmic void outside the planet and then nurtures Soul Land through the spiritual energy emitted by its roots and leaves."

Qian Daoliu's eyes lit up, "Does that mean that Soul Land's spiritual energy will become more and more abundant, without the risk of depletion due to the overabundance of powerful beings?"

The Life God King glanced and said:

"You're thinking too small."

"As we all know, planes cannot evolve on their own unless they devour the energy of other planes."

"But this Divine Tree is different; it draws energy from the universe to nurture the planet."

Luo Yu exclaimed with delight, "You mean, it will keep evolving Soul Land to higher levels?"

The Life God King nodded with a sigh.

"Yes."

"I really can't imagine that such a divine entity exists in this world, my eyes have truly been opened today."

"If word gets out that such a divine entity capable of continuously elevating a plane exists, I'm afraid countless planes in the universe would swarm here in a mad scramble to seize it."

Tang Chen turned his head and said, "Alliance Hierarch, wouldn't you be ecstatic then?"

"As the plane master, when the plane is strong, naturally your power is great. Since this Divine Tree can continuously evolve the plane, doesn't that mean you could just lie down and do nothing, yet your strength would still be doubling?"

Luo Yu waved his hand dismissively.

"Not bad."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say, improving a little bit each day is good enough."

The others looked at him with an odd expression.

They all knew that the benefits they received paled in comparison to Luo Yu's.

But they also knew that some things are simply beyond envy.

It's what the other party deserves, after all.

They are simply basking in the reflected glory, and should be content with that.

"Soul Land's future is looking too promising. If it keeps evolving like this, could it not one day become the strongest plane?" Tang Chen said excitedly.

Qian Daoliu rolled his eyes from the side, "Old fellow, what does the strength of Soul Land have to do with you? You better work hard on your cultivation, lest the younger generation catch up to you and you lose face."

"You old yin-yang person, if you can't speak nicely, just say less. No one would think you're mute," Tang Chen retorted with bared beautiful eyes.

"Ahem."

Upon hearing Luo Yu's cough, the two immediately fell silent.

"Lord, do we need to protect this Divine Tree?" Di Tian asked respectfully with his hands clasped.

Luo Yu shook his head.

"No protection is needed."

"Really? What if someone with malicious intent wants to destroy it..." Di Tian said with concern.

Luo Yu smiled lightly and said with ease:

"Then they're probably tired of living and want to experience what real despair feels like?"

The others, upon hearing this, thought Luo Yu was going to guard it himself.

Little did they know that, apart from Luo Yu, the Divine Tree is the ultimate big boss of Soul Land.

He only instructed Ling Ling not to harm anyone on her own initiative, not that she couldn't defend herself.

The Life God King watched Luo Yu's departing figure, feeling a wave of emotion on the inside.

Is it the tree that's strong?

It's this person that's strong.

Time and again, creating miracles, making that difficult-to-nurture sapling grow into this heart-stirring Divine Tree within a single day.

It's truly unfathomable.

Respect for every life, a seemingly careless appearance, iron-blooded mercilessness toward enemies, tender and considerate care for women.

A man like this... who wouldn't love him?

The Life God King sighed softly deep inside...
