Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler-Chapter 404: Dream Beast Galaxy’s Future

--- Chapter 401 ---

Xuan Ge put on a nervous expression.

Why would Yunlong want his forehead all of a sudden?

Yunlong frowned, "What's with that face?"

"I wouldn't do anything weird to you. Heck, I'm not swinging that way, you little shit."

"I have beautiful partners on my home planet."

"I see..." Xuan Ge patted his chest in relief.

Yunlong's eyebrows twitched because of Xuan Ge's reaction. He wanted to read Xuan Ge's memory as it was the only way to find the Ocean Nebula Planet.

Annoyed by it, Yunlong smacked Xuan Ge's forehead and forcibly read the memories of Dream God. Several thousand years' worths of memory flashed in Yunlong's mind, but it didn't affect him much.

After five minutes, Yunlong discovered the planet's coordinates. What he needs to do next is find the Ocean Nebula Planet.

He released the Dream God and punished him a little.

"Ouch, ouch." Xuan Ge crouched on the ground and rubbed his forehead in pain. "That's hurt, my lord..."

His forehead felt like a hot potato at the moment.

"You deserve it." Yunlong returned with a smile.

"Anyway, I've found the coordinates of the Ocean Nebula Planet."

"It's in the north galaxy sector, a few million light years away from the Dream Beast Galaxy. How the hell were you three stranded that far."

"Hehe, we are simply adventurous." Xuan Ge laughed in reminiscence.

"You mean Poseidon and Asura were adventurous, and they simply dragged you along?" Yunlong scoffed indifferently.

"Uugh..." Xuan Ge was 'actually' caught off guard. Yunlong saw him through easily.

And to be honest, it wasn't hard.

At the time, Xuan Ge wasn't even at Wild God's level yet. He was a naive child in this vast universe until Poseidon(Sea God) and Asura(Asura God) brought him to other galaxies, influencing him with their otherworldly achievements.

Thinking about it, Xuan Ge was pretty lucky. How many mortals could meet two Gods in their lifetime?

One is a powerful 1st Class God with deep power.

And the other is one of the Godkings that govern this universe.

Yunlong shook his head gently and commented, "Here, your first reward."

"I believe you've been wanting this."

Xuan Gu watched Yunlong's hand coated with platinum light. He blinked as the platinum light struck his soul.

"This is..." A warm sensation spread over Xuan Ge's body, making him comfortable.

Something burst out from the depth of Xuan Ge's soul, manifesting as a dreamy-colored, star-shaped object. A knowledge appeared in Xuan Ge's head.

"This is..." Xuan Ge stretched his hand and observed the little star floating above his green palm.

"Martial Soul," Yunlong answered casually. "The essential thing one needs to become Spirit Master."

"I don't know why neither Poseidon nor Asura awakened yours, but you're my servant now. You can't be a pushover."

"Spirit Master, Spirit Master, Spirit Master!" Xuan Ge repeated the words three times and excitedly stared at his martial soul.

Yunlong shrugged because one technically doesn't need Martial Soul to become like how Xuan Ge nearly stepped into the 3rd Class God Realm with his mastery over the 'Law of Dream' alone.

However, using 'Martial Soul' as one's foundation and starting point is convenient. That's to become a God, at the very least.

Now that Yunlong thought about it, Thousand Worlds Handkerchief holds two powerful divinities. One trash Martial Soul could literally wipe anyone below Godking Realm from existence instantly.

Yunlong rubbed his chin and added, "I don't have any Spirit Rings or Spirit Beast's soul to assist your cultivation, but my subordinates will give you Cultivation Art and Martial Technique when they complete your trials."

"By the way, what's your Martial Soul?"

Xuan Ge grinned like a fool and answered, "Tool-type, Little Dream Star."

"Not a bad name." Yunlong nodded in understanding.

"Eh, that's the only thing you praise?" Xuan Ge was stupified.

"Isn't this a rare Martial Soul?"

Yunlong smiled, "No, not really."

There are countless talents in the Bright Spirit Empire with 'unique' or 'bizarre' Martial Souls.

...

Yunlong and Xuan Ge went to the trial ground, watching the challengers doing their trials.

"Should I lower the difficulty on your subordinates, my lord?" Xuan Ge asked. "You know? So, they could get out quickly."

Yunlong stared at the so-called Dream God blankly as if he were an idiot and responded, "No, that makes things unproductive."

"They are here to temper themselves."

"Lowering the difficulty won't sharpen their blades. Why don't you raise the difficulty instead?"

"It's not like they are going to die from it. Your trials are way safer than Sea God Trials."

"Okay then... You said it." Xuan Ge closed his eyes and controlled the array formation in the Dream God Palace. He increased the difficulty for Yunlong's subordinates.

Grandma Chiyo, Kaina, Kang Tei, Ren Shuyi, and Sieg experienced a massive change.

Several hours later.

Yunlong was playing around with his God of Fantasy's powers, trying to test its limit. To his surprise, the God of Fantasy is an all-rounder force he could use in any situation.

It's not as abstract as God of Miracle because Yunlong didn't find it difficult to manifest fantasy into reality.

The only problem is that the God of Fantasy's powers make 'Fabrics of Reality' fragile. If Yunlong doesn't have proper control, a real space might get swallowed and warped from its fantasy counterpart.

Especially mortals. They are very fragile.

'Hmm? Since when did I call people with lower cultivation mortals?' A frown formed on Yunlong's face.

Yunlong thought about it for a second and made a note. His mentality changed due to the increase of the realm.

It is weird.

Fortunately, Yunlong doesn't feel his emotions changed. He still felt the same as usual.

"They completed my trials, damn... You have a group of monsters on your side, my lord." Xuan Ge praised while staring at the dream water screen before his eyes.

Not surprisingly, the first person to finish Dream God's Trial is Kaina Tsutsumi.

The second is Sieg.

Third is Grandma Chiyo.

As for the fourth and fifth, they are 'actually' tied.

"Where are we?" Five of them appeared in the observation room.

After a while, they spotted Yunlong sitting on a couch with a green-skinned man, "Yunlong/Your Majesty?"

Yunlong smiled and commented, "How was it? I assume your harvest is bountiful."

"Hehe, it's nothing." Grandma Chiyo giggled. "Dream God Trials doesn't require much physical prowess."

When Grandma Chiyo mentioned physical prowess, the other four frowned slightly.

"My swordsmanship is the one tested earlier," Sieg said calmly.

"For me, it was my marksmanship..." Kaina added solemnly.

Ren Shuyi and Kang Tei also have similar statements as they were 'slowly' tested on their best fields, which later questioned to make them lose confidence.

They must sharpen their hearts.

They also have to believe in their ability to pass the trials.

Thankfully, none of them are ordinary. They are elites of the elites from the Bright Spirit Empire.

"By the way, let me introduce you to someone." Yunlong casually pointed at Xuan Ge beside him. "Everyone, this man is Xuan Ge, also known as the Dream God in the Dream Beast Galaxy."

"..." Everyone gulped instinctively.

Xuan Ge noticed their increasingly polite gaze and chuckled, "Don't be too nervous."

"My position isn't higher than you guys. Thanks to Lord Yunlong, I got revived into the living world and became his servant."

"You can revive the dead!" Grandma Chiyo blinked in disbelief.

Yunlong shrugged, "Pretty much."

"You guys didn't know?"

They shook their heads immediately.

"Xuan Ge isn't the first person I ever revived. You must know Bing Chun, the Ice Douluo who guards the Sea God Island."

"I revived him three years ago."

"Bing Chun. The person who resisted the Sun and Moon Empire's advance for three years..." Ren Shiyu couldn't help but suck a cold breath. She had heard about this man before but never met him in person.

After all, Sea God Island was a forbidden zone before Yunlong returned.

Yunlong clapped his hand, "Anyway, congratulations on your breakthrough."

"Let's start with our next step."

"For the next two months, we will absorb the Dream Beast Galaxy to our force."

"What if the natives reject our advance?" Kang Tei raised his hand.

"Then, we killed them," Yunlong answered indifferently. "But that won't happen."

"Because we have this guy!"

Xuan Gu put on a helpless smile as Yunlong immediately threw heavy responsibility on his newly rebirthed shoulder.

"I will do my best." Even then, Xuan Ge is still more than happy to accept his new job.

The Dream Beast Galaxy will experience a massive change soon.
