Chapter 5: Four Years or Ten Thousand Years?
Huo Yuhao, the chosen one, was personally promoted by the consciousness of the Douluo Continent.
On Douluo Continent's territory, right in front of the Douluo Continent consciousness, they stole the most important cheat code that it had prepared for Huo Yuhao.
How could it possibly succeed?
It's like stealing someone's things in front of them; you can't just stand by and do nothing.
Even when the consciousness of this Douluo Star faced Tang San, it was as weak as an incompetent husband, with no room to struggle.
But that doesn't mean he was incompetent when dealing with Gu An.
Tang Sanren might not be up to par, but he is a God King.
To stop the current consciousness of Douluo Star, it seems the only way is to wait for the Douluo Star within his own body to awaken.
Only then will we have the opportunity to truly challenge the consciousness of this world.
However, he did not come away empty-handed.
Gu An closed his eyes and sensed it.
The Douluo Star within his body did indeed contain a trace of the world's origin.
It's likely that Electrolux forcibly took Huo Yuhao away, consuming his soul essence, which forced Huo Yuhao's awakening time to be prolonged.
There's also the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Although it failed to intercept the bird, it was not killed either.
However, a trace of Leng Yaozhu's Heavenly Phoenix True Fire had penetrated into the body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm during that attack.
A wisp of true fire is like a persistent, insidious infection, requiring the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to expend a great deal of time and effort to slowly grind it away.
This is a disguised way of weakening Huo Yuhao.
Gu An opened his eyes; even a mosquito's leg is still meat.
If this happens a few more times, the next Limit Douluo's bodyguard won't be far off.
Moreover, he already had a plan for how to do it.
"It's quite intelligent; there's a progress bar that's still two-thirds full, but..."
He looked up with a pained expression and said to Leng Yaozhu.
"Why is the Title Douluo I summon next a question mark?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's eyes crinkled, and she immediately understood what was being asked.
"Hehehe, of course it's because you specifically chose her, sister. The titled Douluo that appears next is random."
She shrugged and said, "After all, the world's consciousness is dormant. Your current world's origin is too small to be specified."
After hearing Leng Yaozhu's explanation, Gu An was completely dumbfounded.
Damn it, instead of learning good things, they've started playing with blind boxes!
Seeing Gu An's expression, Leng Yaozhu rubbed his head and said, "Look on the bright side, ordinary titles and ultimate titles are the same price."
"That's a good consolation, don't do that next time."
What kind of "finding joy in suffering" is this?
Gu An rolled his eyes and stopped talking about the topic, saying, "Sister Yao Zhu, let's go get a soul ring."
When it came to serious matters, Leng Yaozhu's expression became serious.
She felt frustrated that she hadn't been able to accomplish anything earlier, and she couldn't afford to be useless again.
She hugged Gu An tightly again, and said while flying.
"Leave it to me."
"You need to think carefully about what to choose. Although your Dragon and Phoenix Soul Sound Flute is very powerful, its only drawback is that the age of the soul beasts you absorb depends on your physical condition."
Gu An listened with a sense of helplessness.
You might say it's weak, but the martial spirit is maxed out; you might say it's strong, but the spirit ring age still relies on an "ancient" method.
Fortunately, it can improve as its strength increases.
"Unfortunately, your current physical condition can only withstand a soul beast that is about 400 years old. If you are willing, you can try even one that is 10,000 years old."
"Therefore, I suggest you choose a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. With my strength and soul spirit, I can make a soul beast that has developed intelligence willingly."
Gu An blinked. It wasn't a girl.
Isn't the difference between 400 years and 10,000 years a huge leap?
He understood his own physical condition.
Over the years, he and his mother have been hiding from Shrek Academy, constantly on the run, with no fixed abode.
Even though Gu's mother was consciously working to improve his health and build his foundation.
The problem is that there are no resources, no rare and precious materials; the current level of training is already the limit.
So, he understood after 400 years that thousand-year-old soul beasts were brainless, and he knew that too. But what about ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts?!
Even if the soul beast is willing at first, what if it's not willing when it comes to absorbing the essence?
The soul shock didn't kill him?
Leng Yaozhu seemed to have noticed his worries.
A half-smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face, sending a chill down Gu An's spine.
"Don't worry, the Dragon and Phoenix Soul Flute can withstand soul shocks."
"Moreover, my Heavenly Phoenix Martial Soul has a soul skill that allows you to undergo Nirvana. Even if you fail in the end, you will still become stronger, though you will suffer a bit."
"Is it really just a little bit bitter?"
"Mmm, just a tiny bit~"
Faced with these two choices, Gu An fell into deep thought.
Leng Yaozhu slowed down and didn't urge him, waiting patiently.
Gu An didn't doubt Leng Yaozhu's loyalty, but he always felt that she was somewhat unreliable.
But if he were to choose 400 years, he would be unwilling.
The extraordinary spirit rings and spirits were a crucial part of his next plan.
Moreover, he has already traveled through time, so isn't it a bit pathetic to be only at the first stage of the 400-year timeline?
Other time-traveling fellow villagers aren't all tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of years old?
All I've suffered is pain...
"Damn it! I'll take the gamble! I won't die anyway!"
So he told Leng Yaozhu about his decision.
"My dear sister, my life is in your hands now!"
With a pained expression, she looked longingly at the older sister in front of her.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
--------
Soon, Leng Yaozhu led him to land in an area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
She raised her hand, closed her eyes to sense something, and then vanished from the spot in a flash.
In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Leng Yaozhu returned.
He was carrying a soul beast that was on the verge of death.
A raptor covered in dark blue feathers, with a wingspan of over two meters, and a metallic silver-gray beak that was incredibly sharp.
"A Blue Blade Falcon that is about 30,000 years old."
Leng Yaozhu placed the Azure Blade Falcon in front of Gu An, shook her head, and spoke with a hint of regret.
"I've already had a proper conversation with her, and my spirit, the Heavenly Fire Kite, even had a friendly sparring session with her."
"If nothing unexpected happens, she will be your first spirit."
"Did something go wrong?"
Seeing the bitterness on Gu Anjun's handsome face, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but find it amusing.
She patted her ample chest, "Sister resurrected you!"
Gu An glanced at the Blue-bladed Falcon and sighed.
"bring it on!"
He summoned the Dragon and Phoenix Soul Flute, and the phoenix on it danced around Gu An as if it were alive.
He had no interest in appreciating the beautiful scene; he closed his eyes and began talking to Qingren Jun.
Success or failure hinges on this!
Seeing him close his eyes and begin, Leng Yaozhu felt a pang of heartache.
"Suffering is painful, but the benefits are also immense. Xiao An, you must persevere."
Then she stood beside him.
His gaze swept warily across the surrounding woods, and his mental energy spread out, covering an area of several hundred meters.
--------
at the same time.
Another edge of the Starry Sky Forest.
Two young people, a man and a woman, are walking through the woods.
Beibei and Tang Ya were also watching the hunting of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
It was as if it were all preordained by fate.
Or rather, it's the consciousness of Douluo Continent secretly at work.
Or perhaps it was done by that high and mighty Buddha of Tang.
The direction they were heading was exactly where Huo Yuhao had reappeared.
