Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler-Chapter 397: There Are No Coincidences

--- Chapter 394 ---

Finishing his meal made by Grandma Chiyo, Yunlong patted his stomach in satisfaction. Considering the amount of food he eats, even a family of five needs a whole year to digest it.

However, Yunlong's physique has long transcended the mortal realm.

Even before he reached Godking Realm, Yunlong already possessed the power to fight someone despite the dimension difference.

So, all these foods were ineffective for Yunlong's cultivation as they served nothing but 'Tasteful Delight.' for a brief moment.

But Grandma's cooking is one of the best.

Yunlong didn't dare to reject and break her heart. Above all else, he's a filial grandson.

"What happened when I was cultivating?" Yunlong asked, gazing at Grandma Chiyo, who picked up dirty plates and stored them in a dishwasher with apparently internal space like a spatial ring.

This dishwasher looks like an oven with the stylish 'MB.' logo at the top.

"Also, what's with that device?"

Grandma Chiyo patted the machine and said, "Ah, this? It is a pocket dishwasher made by Mei. It cleans many dirty plates spotless at once with no bacteria left, keeping them hygienic."

"Don't tell me MB stands for Mei's Babies..." Yunlong uttered slowly.

"How did you know?" Grandma Chiyo was about to explain the logo.

"..." Yunlong.

That girl, she really knows how to brand her things.

Truly unique to herself.

Grandma Chito was somewhat amused by her grandson's speechless look. She chuckled and added, "Mei invented many things that make life easier than ever. Her inventions promoted the people in the Bright Spirit Empire to focus more on their education and cultivation."

"She appeared quite eccentric, but her passion is pure."

"However, Grandma knew she was a lovely girl with a kind heart."

"Don't you think so?"

Faced with this rhetorical question, Yunlong could only nod his head helplessly. It seems Grandma Chiyo wants to act as a 'wingman.' for Mei Hatsumei.

And to be fair, the girls in the Bright Spirit Labs are very close with Grandma Chiyo.

Grandma Chiyo shook her head gently, knowing Yunlong's helplessness in such a situation. He's the supreme ruler of a growing super empire, so women are bound to become close to him.

So, Grandma Chiyo wants the best out of the best for her grandson.

She has already approved Bibi Dong and many others, granting them her blessing to marry Yunlong. It's just a matter of deciding a date now.

She sighed when thinking about her son and daughter-in-law, who passed away before her. That horrible accident took their lives.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this for now." Yunlong laughed awkwardly and changed the topic of the conversation. "I want to hear about others."

Grandma Chiyo nodded and replied, "Let's see..."

"When you were cultivating, Kaina and others were investigating all over the continent with the help of Odd-Eyed Clan."

"They discovered information we needed and relayed it to the headquarters already." 𝑏𝘦𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Several exploration teams are dispatched in return. Finding the Nebula Star you mentioned in the past would be feasible."

"That's good." Yunlong pondered about the Divine Tool he should create for Kaguya and others.

"Alas, we also found some unpleasant news." Grandma Chiyo added solemnly.

"Unpleasant? Tell me."

Grandma Chiyo grimaced and continued, "After sorting the information from the past 1,000 years, Kaina learned about the destruction of our Ally: Elven's home planet destruction."

"Dream God Planet sent a team to investigate two years ago but found nothing but a floating mess of a dead planet."

"Not only that, but the surrounding area, such as solar systems and nearly half of the galaxy, turned into a dead zone filled with Death Energy..."

Yunlong frowned and mumbled, "Death Energy."

"Elven..."

"Tsk, this makes me remember that Dark Lich."

Yunlong awakened the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena at that moment and protected the Douluo Planet from the outer plane's invasion. The leading faction of this invasion is a Dark Lich, who uses sorcery to revive Dark Elves and their guardians.

It led Yunlong to possess Rukh's Will. A skill that allowed him to have a deep affinity to 'Nature.'. The Elven even called it the 'Breath of the Wild.' and attacked him for owning it once.

Well, he beat a few of them and explained the situation afterward.

As a Godking, Yunlong's sense is strong. It was even more influential than other God Kings since he isn't 'directly.' tied to the Divine Realm, but that doesn't mean his proficiency is better than theirs.

However, it was enough to sense abstract things in this universe.

The vast space and time couldn't hide something he wanted to know.

So, Yunlong's hunch can't be a coincidence.

"What about the Dream God Trials?" He asked his grandma.

Grandma Chiyo smiled and replied, "About that, we can enter anytime."

"The other 'key.' holders have agreed to enter the Dream God Trials. It was a coincidence that other factions in the Dream God Planet have planned to do this from a year ago."

Coincidence? Yunlong smirked slightly.

A wise turtle once said, There are no coincidences.

Yunlong stared at the ceiling and said, "Gather everyone in ten minutes."

"We are going to investigate Dream God Trials."

"Okay." Grandma Chiyo clicked her handler.

...

Ten minutes later, Kaina and others arrived at the house.

They looked at Yunlong and then bowed.

"Good job, especially Kang Tei and Ren Shuyi," Yunlong commented while putting his chin on the back of his hand. "I'll double more merit points after this mission."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Kang Tei and Ren Shuyi were excited. Merit points are something they could use to exchange for treasure and other resources beneficial for their cultivation.

"Kaina." Yunlong moved his gaze to the infamous Lady Nagant.

In her elven disguise, Kaina Tsutsumi is an attractive lady with bob-cut blonde hair, long ears, and striking blue eyes. Her facial features didn't change much, but the disguise is perfecting her once pale complexion to be more healthy.

"I heard you discovered something interesting. Care to tell it now?"

Kaina nodded and answered, "I visited the ancestral record of the Odd-Eyed Clan yesterday. And found a story left behind by the Odd-Eyed Clan's ancestor."

"It was about the demise of the Elven Race."

"After cultivating his third eye to the fullest, this ancestor broke through the mortal's barrier and could see further than others. He glimpsed into the future."

"However, not long after, he died..."

"In his story, he mentioned 'Death Apostle.' and 'One Hundred Galaxies Destruction.' describing the latter event as the end of the world..."

"These are the words he left behind."

The Plague will descend and swallow our lives.

We couldn't run!

We couldn't fight because everything was over.

Unless a God descended and saved us. But, A God? Such a thing hasn't existed since ancient times.

"End," Kaina said softly. "The story ended with a self-ridiculing comment to himself."

"The plague, huh?" Yunlong stared at Kaina.

"After this, your merit points will get tripled."

"Eh?" Kaina was surprised.

Yunlong smiled and teased, "What? You don't want it?"

"Maybe I should give it to Sieg-!"

"Thank you, Yunlong-sama!" Before Yunlong could finish his words, Kaina immediately uttered her gratitude.

Yunlong shook his head in amusement.

"I'll also add some extra rewards later. Keep up the good job."

"Now get up and prepare yourself for the Dream God Trials. We'll enter the Secret Realm tomorrow morning." Yunlong added, dismissing the squad.

After the squad member left, Grandma Chiyo walked to Yunlong and commented, "Kaina is also not a bad woman."

"She's loyal and quite a wife material."

"Grandma!" Yunlong was speechless.

"What? I'm telling the truth." Grandma Chiyo flashed a grin at him.

"Haa… Yes, yes." Yunlong sighed in defeat.
