Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler-Chapter 401: A Bet with the Dream God

--- Chapter 398 ---

"D-D-Douluo Galaxy!"

Dream God and stared at Yunlong with a bewildered look.

In the Dream Beast Galaxy, not many people know about other galaxies' conditions, as traversing out and back needed massive energy and high authority over Spatial Elements.

Even with spaceships, they are prone to experience Space Beasts' attacks and Spatial Storms. The only exception to this rule is a God-Level Entity and Spaceship with powerful space-warping ability.

Usually, only powerful factions possessed these two.

Since not many people know about the other galaxies, the existence of the Douluo Galaxy is buried in the history of darkness.

There is a legend that the Dragon God roamed over countless galaxies before staying in a small plant in the distant galaxy, turning it into the foothold of the Dragon Clan!

So many rumors flowed in this universe, but only some could confirm them.

Xuan Ge, the Dream God, for example.

He's the legendary figure in The Dream Beast Galaxy and has gone out several times with the risk of losing his life every time.

After traveling for many years, Xuan Ge discovered a trace of the Dragon Clan in countless galaxies.

One clue led him to a Douluo Galaxy where people don't cultivate Star Energy. Of course, this is only a clue from ancient writings because he has never gone there.

The ancient writings described Spirit Beasts as the rulers of sea, land, and sky.

Dragon Clan led prosperity over the Divine Realm.

Yet, the Dragon Clan suddenly declined.

Humans rose and used the cultivation called 'Spirit Master' to become stronger. Like Star Cultivator, they used the power of Spirit Beast and merged with their innate spirit called 'Martial Soul' to defy normality and ultimately become a GOD!

Xuan Ge thought it was a myth, but a living proof stood before him.

Although Yunlong has the appearance of an elf, Xuan Ge can see past Kang Tei's masking ability.

A black-haired human stood calmly. He has evil crimson eyes, which stare at him, the Dream God, in amusement.

Xuan Ge had never felt such incredulity before.

Unfortunately, Xuan Ge is currently only a remnant of soul. His disbelief and excitement couldn't travel to the real world.

Even though Xuan Ge has reached the pinnacle of Star Cultivator, the power of the Dream he mastered for a few thousand years wasn't enough to live eternally.

Over ten thousand years have passed since Xuan Ge's descent. He left behind the Dream God Trials to encourage young people in the Dream Beast Galaxy to pursue his last wish.

Finding the Douluo Galaxy or Divine Dragon Galaxy.

Still, fate really works wonderfully.

Who would have thought someone from the Douluo Galaxy would traverse an infinite distance and find his Dream God Trials?

And it wasn't an ordinary someone either.

Yunlong, the God of Miracle!

Xuan Ge couldn't gauge Yunlong's strength with his mere remnant of soul, but he was sure of something.

Yunlong is 'stronger' than him in the perfect state.

"Yup." Yunlong shrugged at Xuan Ge's surprise.

"I came here to check who you are, Dream God."

"A man with such a title..."

"Haha..." Dream God laughed bitterly. "I was a very arrogant fellow in the past."

"Just because I had some power, my ambition led me to doom."

"Indeed." Yunlong nodded in understanding. "After all, you copied Poseidon..."

"Right?"

Xuan Ge froze on the spot.

He blinked his eyes a few times and sighed, "...So, you noticed?"

Yunlong smiled and commented, "Dream God Trials and the Nine Dreamy Stairs are enough clues for me to uncover your backgrounds."

Poseidon is the title of the Sea God, whose actual name is Bo Saidong.

After claiming the Sea God's Seat, Bo Saidong likes to traverse over the Douluo Dalu Universe with his friend Asura God, avoiding their godly duties.

So, it's not hard for Yunlong to connect the dots here and there.

Xuan Ge put on a helpless expression, "I met Senior Poseidon a long time ago."

"At that time, I was a young Star Cultivator from no name planet and depended on my weak cultivation to survive."

"When I was 'nearly' starving to death, I encountered two men with an incredible cultivation base. One is blue-haired and playful while the other is red-haired and somewhat stern."

"They brought me to numerous planets in the Dream Beast Galaxy, training me a little." Xuan Ge reminisced about the good old days.

"They are my role models!"

"Unfortunately, my view was shallow back then."

"I didn't know how much stronger they were."

"I only thought they were powerful Star Cultivators, not realizing they never showed their Star Patterns nor Star Talents."

"After all, all they needed to annihilate Ancient Space Beasts was a casual spear thrust and sword swing."

Xuan Ge shook his head lightly and continued, "It's not until I reached the Ninth Grade of Star Cultivation that I realized something."

"Even with my cultivation, I couldn't reproduce the result they could do."

"Took me one thousand years to develop a technique that could kill Ancient Spirit Beasts like them in the past."

"But it's not enough, isn't it?" Yunlong knew that Xuan Ge wouldn't be able to pass the boundary of the Wild God Realm.

To pass that boundary, one needed a Godseat or made one themselves.

On the other hand, using the path of Star Cultivation restricted that boundary.

Xuen Ge replied, "Yes."

"Absorbing Space Beast's energy is a bad practice."

"They are creatures abandoned by the universe's will. I, who cultivated Star Cultivation, was affected after absorbing and condensing my power based on it."

"If only I had Spirit Energy like you people from the Douluo Galaxy." He added regretfully. Well, there is no use crying over spilled milk.

"Well, you still have a chance." Yunlong smiled at Xuan Ge.

"Ah, that shouldn't be possible. Even with my Dream Manifestation, my energy couldn't stay forever." Xuan Ge denied it immediately.

"My soul remnant could still stay here because people in the Dream Beast Galaxy still remember me as Dream God in their dreams."

"But for long? I've witnessed my comrades being forgotten by the passage of time."

Yunlong laughed and proposed, "Then, what about a bet?"

"I will show you the power of God of Miracle from the Douluo Galaxy."

"If I could achieve something you thought impossible, you will be my servant forever."

"Very well, entertain me... Daoist Yunlong." Xuan Ge doesn't hope much from Yunlong.

And yes, he's bound to be surprised soon.

Yunlong closed his eyes and prepared something.

"Oh no..." The quiet Little Dream Lord finally opened its mouth and shivered in horror.

The Little Nightmare Lord also shivered, wrapping its body hurriedly.

Xuan Ge was confused by their actions, but not even a second later, his jet-black eyes widened even more as if the previous shock Yunlong had given to him was just an appetizer.

SWOOOSH! BOOOOOOOOM!!

A burst of Divine Power comes from Yunlong's body, enveloping the Dream God's Palace and Trials.

Platinum light blinded everyone.

Yunlong opened his eyes and revealed platinum-colored Rinne-Sharingan with spiral-like patterns. He waved some hand signs and grinned at Xuan Ge, sending a chill down his spine.

"What are you doing-!" Before Xuan Ge finished his words, Yunlong already used his technique.

Platinum light surged to Xuan Ge's soul, overwhelming him.

Xuan Ge could feel his remnant soul become stronger and stronger, eventually covered by a platinum-colored cocoon.

"Rinne Tensei no Jutsu!"
