The legend of Liu Xiaoxiao in Douluo mainland

Chapter 1132 Eternal Divine Dynasty

"The incident occurred back then. After Long Haochen and the others returned to this universe, they used their special power of concealment to find the area where Electrolux had lost the Great Tortoise Shell Technique. Long Dangdang used Time Reversal to trace back to that history more than 10,000 years ago and finally found the object that had retrieved the Great Tortoise Shell Technique." Iseria transmitted her thoughts through divine sense.

“It’s the Eternal Divine Dynasty. They’re one of the most powerful forces in this star field,” Long Dangdang communicated through divine sense. “We’re currently gathering intelligence on them, but we only have the most preliminary information so far. Legend has it that the leader of the Eternal Divine Dynasty is called the Eternal Mother Goddess, who may be a very powerful God-King, or perhaps a Supreme God-King. They call themselves the God Race, high above all, ruling over the vast star sea. Among their many God-Kings are four divine beasts: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise. It’s said that these four divine beasts also hold extraordinary positions within the Eternal Divine Dynasty, but we don’t know much more about them.”

"The Eternal Divine Dynasty... Did they ever interfere with what happened in this plane? Did the Primordial Demon Ancestor's plans back then involve their interference, which led to the failure of his plans?" Liu Xiaoxiao started thinking.

“We’ve thought about that too, but there’s no indication that they’ve interfered. Either they really haven’t interfered, or they’ve hidden it so well that even we God-Kings couldn’t detect it,” Long Kongkong said with a helpless thought.

"For you all to be able to not notice it, either there is nothing there, or the Mother Goddess herself is involved... This is really an extreme choice between two extremes..." Liu Xiaoxiao was speechless.

"Why don't you just take a look at the changes in fate?" Little Fatty asked.

"It's not that easy. Do you think fate is omnipotent?" Liu Xiaoxiao retorted irritably. "Without clues, there's not enough cause and effect. Besides, this involves the Supreme God King, which naturally has a secretive effect. It's too difficult to pry into it."

"Legend has it that the Mother Goddess is skilled in creation, having created three thousand worlds. She is also adept at guiding the development of planes, spreading the gospel of the gods, and possesses means to guide reincarnation and interdimensional travel. She is also skilled in technology, culture, art, medicine, and craftsmanship. At least in terms of territorial control, I believe she is far superior to the Dragon God," He Qiang said slowly. "For now, it shouldn't be wrong to treat them as people we need to befriend rather than enemies."

"For now, all we can do is continue to gather intelligence. However, we should try our best not to let them become aware of our presence and actions. At least it's not the right time yet." Liu Xiaoxiao nodded. "The Eternal Realm is newly formed and still in a period of rapid development. It's not too late to make contact when the time is right."

"In addition, we have another piece of news," Long Dangdang continued. "Based on the star map you provided, we have located the location of Falan Star. As expected, after analyzing the relative positions of the Pegasus Twin Stars and the Holy Demon Twin Stars, we confirmed the consistency between them. Then, by comparing the relative positions of the Pegasus Twin Stars and Douluo Star with those of the Holy Demon Twin Stars, we obtained Falan Star."

"Well, that's what parallel universes are all about, right?" He Qiang nodded. "I feel like I'm starting to understand the logic of the Douluo Universe more and more now."

"So, what era is it on Star Farland right now?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked.

“It should be in the Ice Age,” Long Haochen said. “We plan to intervene in the development of that plane and help the human race break free from the control of the demon race, but we are worried about the constraints of the laws of the universe.”

"Let's not rush into that. Let's figure out the laws governing the universe first, and then find a way to bypass them. If we interfere arbitrarily, we might end up destroying the Lord of the Farlan Star Plane with us." Liu Xiaoxiao shook his head.

“There’s another point,” Long Dangdang said. “The time flow rate in the two universes is undergoing drastic changes. It’s still uncertain whether the change is happening in this universe or the other universe.”

"That's easy. We can find out quickly by using a spacetime beacon." Liu Xiaoxiao waved his hand, and a spacetime beacon appeared.

Not long after, he retrieved the spacetime beacon. "It can be confirmed that the universe here has changed, and the source of the change is the inter-universe anchoring array set up ten thousand years ago. The resonance of divine power, amplified by the universe, created ripples in spacetime like the butterfly effect, which in turn affected the wormhole connecting the parallel universe. As a result, the wormhole changed, naturally causing the laws of the universe on both sides to resonate, and the flow of time to converge."

"This is what gods are like. Some seemingly insignificant actions can have a huge impact on the world," Long Dangdang sighed. "This is also why the laws of the universe need to cleanse higher-level life forms. In a sense, the reason why gods can only live in the divine realm is to imprison themselves in order to make the laws of the universe spare them."

"To be precise, it should be that higher-dimensional life forms must restrain themselves and not let their power affect the outside world." Liu Xiaoxiao shook his head. "Compared to higher-dimensional life forms themselves, the lower-dimensional universe is far too fragile and can be destroyed at will. However, destruction is easy but creation is difficult. How can the world that the creator god painstakingly created be destroyed so easily? Therefore, maintaining the stability of the world has become an important part."

As he spoke, the ribs on the plate naturally separated from the meat as he opened his mouth, and the pieces of meat fell into his mouth.

"It seems we must be extra careful when planning major cosmic projects in the future," He Qiang frowned. "With this accumulation of cause and effect, we never know when disaster will strike and we'll be punished by the laws of the universe."

"In short, let's dismantle that magic array that anchors the flow of time first. It's useless now. Once I build the spacetime gate, traveling between the two worlds will be much easier, and cross-dimensional trade and exchange of knowledge can also begin," Liu Xiaoxiao said.

As Iseria poured ale into her glass, she said, "Speaking of which, aren't you curious about which planes our elven teleportation arrays connect to?"

"Speaking of which, your teleportation array was connected to the continent of Longzinus a long time ago. I wonder if this is related to the collision with the abyss back then?" He Qiang asked.

"Well, who knows? Continental tectonic plate collisions are likely to happen anyway, even if they don't directly affect us, just not as violently. Plate collisions tearing open dimensional rifts and the resulting spatial fluctuations attracting the attention of darker dimensions are common occurrences." Iseria poured wine into her mouth while transmitting her thoughts telepathically. "We elves aren't good at traversing the cosmos, but we excel at spatial travel between dimensions. Our teleportation network spans two universes and multiple star regions. Although we don't rule any particular dimension, our footprints are everywhere. If there were any impact, it would have already caused disasters in many dimensions."

"Is it just a coincidence..." He Qiang shook his head.

"If possible, I'd like to ask about the Elven teleportation array," Liu Xiaoxiao said.

"No problem, no problem, I'll take you there later." Iseria seemed a little drunk, and it appeared she hadn't used her divine power to neutralize the alcohol.

The group ate from afternoon until evening, and only left the shop when it was almost dinner time.

They arrived at Tenglong City Gymnasium, intending to exercise there. Long Dangdang and Liu Xiaoxiao each sent a clone to find a hotel to check in.

While walking down the street, Long Dangdang suddenly spoke up: "Actually, there's something else I haven't mentioned before."

Liu Xiaoxiao turned his head, and Long Dangdang continued, "According to our investigation, there are also traces of the Eternal Divine Dynasty on the Creation Continent. To be precise, the Great Tortoise Shell Technique first appeared there."

“According to Lao He, the Great Tortoise Shell Technique is a game created by the Mother Goddess, and also a symbol and tool for spreading the gospel of the gods.” Liu Xiaoxiao pondered, “Only those with divine blood can cultivate that thing; in a sense, it is a divine innate art of the divine bloodline. Since that thing appeared on the Creation Continent, it means that the gods have intervened in the Creation Continent, or at least some member of the divine race has passed through there.”

“Since you call yourselves gods, you must have some background,” Long Dangdang said.

"They are merely servants of the gods." Liu Xiaoxiao shook his head. "Those with divine blood cannot cultivate immortality, nor can they cultivate battle qi or learn magic. They can only advance through the Great Tortoise Shell Technique, gradually acquiring divine power, divine consciousness, divine speed, and divine body. Even if they achieve great success, they are only half-gods and half-humans. Although it can be useful against god-level powerhouses, as long as one holds a divine position, even the Great Tortoise Shell Technique is useless against them."

“The Mother Goddess of the Eternal Divine Dynasty may have also mastered a certain degree of the Holy Power of Creation, and thus was attracted to the Creation Continent.” Long Dangdang pondered, “Or perhaps it was a manifestation of a certain thought of the Creation God, or a certain artifact of creation that guided it to interfere with the Creation Continent in order to deal with a certain situation.”

"It's pointless to make wild guesses without any intelligence," Liu Xiaoxiao shook his head. "No matter how much you speculate, you still need intelligence."

"Among the demons who surrendered earlier, many demon gods had traveled to multiple star regions and had rich experience. I have placed restrictions on their seas of consciousness and sent them to the territory where the Eternal Divine Dynasty is located to gather intelligence. However, infiltrating such a force will inevitably take a long time and cannot be accomplished overnight," Long Dangdang said. "The investigation into the Creation Continent is also ongoing because Kongkong and I are currently focusing our main efforts on urging the Holy Land to restart a new cycle of reincarnation, so the speed of the investigation has inevitably slowed down."

“There’s no rush. We have plenty of time now,” Liu Xiaoxiao said.

Just then, a few snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

"Is it winter on the Holy Demon Continent now?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked curiously. "I thought it was summer based on the temperature."

“It’s autumn now, and given the latitude of Tenglong City, it shouldn’t be snowing.” Long Dangdang shook his head. “It must be a level 10 magical beast with ice attributes passing by.”

They didn't use their divine sense to investigate, not simply to fit into ordinary life, but because using their divine sense would affect the plane and thus attract the attention of the laws of the universe. Although the impact of such a small matter was pitifully small, they were unwilling to use it for such a trivial matter.

"Are there any level 10 ice-attribute magical beasts living around here?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked with some surprise. "Generally speaking, ice-attribute magical beasts like to live in cold places."

“Level 10 magical beasts have intelligence comparable to humans and are capable of long-distance flight. Who knows where it came from?” Long Dangdang shook his head. “It could also be low-level fire-attribute birds migrating south for the winter. Instead of releasing ice elements, they absorb fire elements to sustain their long migration.”

The two chatted casually and soon arrived at a rather luxurious hotel, booked a room, and then returned to Tenglong Stadium.

Inside the gymnasium, Liu Xiaoxiao and Long Kongkong were playing ping-pong. Of course, neither of them used their divine power, suppressing their physical abilities to the level of ordinary people, and the game was going back and forth.

The Temple Federation doesn't have a sport like table tennis, but table tennis doesn't require much in terms of venue or equipment, and the rules aren't difficult, so they quickly completed the recreation.

"Kongkong, you and Zisang Liuying should be quite familiar with each other. Is she a bit of a chuunibyou?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked while watching Long Kongkong's movements. "I asked her to film a magical girl anime and recite some embarrassing transformation spells, but her expression didn't change at all."

"You should ask my sister-in-law. She and Zisang Liuying are closer; they're practically childhood sweethearts." Long Kongkong gestured towards the distance with his eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Shiwen and Ling Menglu were fiddling with something that looked like a rectangular metal block.

“That’s Spirit Crystal Online,” Long Dangdang explained to Liu Xiaoxiao. “It’s a product derived from a divine artifact. Each piece of Spirit Crystal can communicate between groups through the sub-Spirit Crystals within the city. The main Spirit Crystal is located in the Holy City and is the essence of the divine artifact.”

"Local area network communication technology achieved through magical techniques..." Liu Xiaoxiao nodded. "However, the communication range is limited, and it can only do communication; there are still many shortcomings in terms of functionality. I'll make some adjustments during this period, at least to reach the level of an intelligent communication soul tool."

As they were talking, two more people walked in through the door. They were two girls, one tall and the other petite. They walked straight toward Long Dangdang.

“They are my teammates, the mage Yue Li and the assassin Ming Xi,” Long Dangdang explained. “After that incident, our Demon Hunter Group moved its base to Tenglong City. However, now that the world is at peace, there are no missions for titled Demon Hunter Groups, so we live and cultivate here on a daily basis. They have just broken through to the ninth rank.”

"I remember there are two more people in your Demon Hunter team, right?" Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at him. Long Dangdang clearly wanted him to give his companion some pointers. After all, although the two were both God Kings, there was a significant difference in their experience, especially when it came to instructing disciples.

"Tao Linlin has been taken to meet Wang Changxin's parents," Long Dangdang said.

"I see." Liu Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Long Dangdang transmitted her thoughts to Liu Xiaoxiao, "My brother hopes you can go to the Holy City as soon as possible. If possible, he hopes you can set off tomorrow."

The older brother he was referring to was naturally Long Haochen.

Liu Xiaoxiao frowned. Although this was also within the planned scope, what did "as soon as possible" mean?

Has something happened again?
