LRAB Chapter 79 Eating melons
Chapter 79 Eating melons
He treated Douluo Continent as his own personal home.
Lu Mingfei was shocked: "Huh? What do you mean?"
Lu Mingfei only regretted not having peanuts, melon seeds, popcorn, and soda on hand.
Such explosive inside information feels incomplete without essential gossip fodder.
No sooner had Lu Mingfei thought of it than several soul beasts brought him a pile of fruits.
Lu Mingfei: ...
People in your world really don't give people the right to privacy.
I am not human.
Lu Mingfei couldn't refute it. Fine, it's good to have some fruits.
Let's start eating melon seeds (gossiping).
"Come on, tell me the details."
Douluo Tiandao then began to elaborate: "Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Dragon God went mad for some unknown reason, and ultimately died."
Lu Mingfei took a bite of a fruit that resembled a peach and casually asked, "What about the details?"
[I don't know, I only know that the great battle was extremely fierce. The Dragon God fell and transformed into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. The Silver Dragon King, carrying the remaining creative power after the Dragon God's fall, crashed onto the Douluo Continent, and from then on, my consciousness began to become clearer and clearer.]
Lu Mingfei nodded: "So, you also benefited from the Dragon God's influence? But you're still not good enough; you don't even know the details."
Yes, after the Silver Dragon King arrived on Douluo Continent, soul beasts gradually came into being. Hundreds of thousands of years later, humans also appeared here.
"Wait a minute, so how did the humans on your side come about?" Lu Mingfei tossed the peach pit aside and pressed for details.
What's going on with this Douluo Heavenly Dao? Please explain the details!
[Transformed from a soul beast.]
"Holy crap..." Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.
What shocking news is this?
So exciting!
Lu Mingfei immediately opened a melon that resembled a watermelon, took out a piece of metal from his storage soul tool, shaped it into a spoon, and began to eat the melon with a serious expression.
When the Heavenly Dao of Douluo encountered the Heavenly Dao of another world for the first time, apart from talking to Lu Mingfei, it couldn't find anyone to chat with, so it spilled out everything it knew without reservation.
Before Di Tian arrived on Douluo Continent, while the Silver Dragon King was in a deep slumber healing, the soul beasts discovered that they could not break through the Heavenly Tribulation and achieve godhood no matter what they did. Then, one of them, whose bloodline exhibited a reversion to its ancestral state, accidentally touched upon ancient inherited memories about 'humanity'. (The so-called 'truth' from this paragraph onwards is purely a hypothetical scenario.)
"Is this why soul beasts can transform into human form?" Lu Mingfei was a proper straight man, never letting Douluo Tiandao's words fall flat.
"Not entirely," Douluo Tiandao continued, "At that time, my consciousness wasn't clear enough, and I didn't know exactly how they did it. But the result was that they successfully transformed themselves into humans before undergoing the 100,000-year Heavenly Tribulation."
"Were there that many 100,000-year-old soul beasts back then?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously. "If there were too few, it would be very difficult to develop."
[It was indeed difficult, but the Heavenly Tribulation back then was even more difficult. The God Realm practically unleashed its Heavenly Tribulation upon the Douluo Continent. And because the blood of the Silver Dragon King permeated this realm, the growth rate of soul beasts was extremely fast. They wouldn't need 100,000 years at all; at most 30,000 years, they could accumulate 100,000 years of cultivation.]
"So, those soul beasts can only have a lifespan of up to 30,000 years? That means they really need to find a way to extend their lives," Lu Mingfei said thoughtfully. "But how do they know that's a cultivation level of 100,000 years?"
They have inherited memories.
This reason is indeed very strong, and even carries a hint of "the premise is the truth".
"That's a real crisis. They were supposed to live for 100,000 years, but now they've been cut down to less than a third of their lifespan." Putting himself in their shoes, Lu Mingfei also felt that they had no choice but to find a way out.
Douluo Tiandao continued the narration: "Furthermore, knowing from their inherited memories that the Soul Beast race was defeated by humans, they believed that human gods were stronger than beast gods. Therefore, upon reaching the point of 100,000 years of cultivation, they chose to sacrifice all their cultivation, attempting to achieve a rebirth through destruction and rebuilding, guided by the blood of the Silver Dragon King."
"And then they became gods?"
No, they failed, and at one point even thought it was the wrong choice.
Lu Mingfei took a bite of the melon and nodded: "Indeed, he could have lived for another 30,000 years, but now he might not even live for 300 years."
"No, back then, humans could only live for a maximum of ten thousand years," Douluo Tiandao explained. "At that time, the Douluo Continent was filled with a rich life force, and all living beings naturally had long lifespans."
"Then why are humans in such a miserable state now?" Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled, taking a bite of melon to calm his nerves.
Because the creative power brought down by the Silver Dragon King was limited, it was gradually exhausted over time. Three hundred thousand years ago, someone succeeded.
Over hundreds of thousands of years, humanity has traversed a long journey from dependence on spirit beasts to breaking free and ultimately defeating them. In this process, they developed spirit tools, and over thousands of generations, their martial spirits have continuously mutated, even giving rise to a completely new type of martial spirit—the weapon martial spirit.
So that's the origin of weapon spirits. Very good, the logic is consistent.
"A person whose martial soul is pure fire element mastered the fire element to its extreme, and ultimately became the first person on the Douluo Continent to achieve godhood independently—the God of Fire," said Douluo Heavenly Dao.
Not long after, the God of Fire perished. I don't know the details, only that someone in another world became the new God of Fire. From then on, the suppression of the Douluo Continent intensified.
Ten thousand years ago, on the Douluo Continent, a human named Ma Hongjun was fortunate enough to qualify for the divine examination to become the new God of Fire. However, Ma Hongjun did not pass the test completely and ultimately stopped at the level of a second-level god, becoming the Phoenix God.
Lu Mingfei silently ate another bite of the melon. How tragic! The first god of Douluo Continent met such a miserable end.
"And what about the Phoenix God?"
He became a god 250,000 years ago, perhaps learning from the lessons of the Fire God, or perhaps because his soul beast bloodline was becoming increasingly diluted. He abdicated his divine position 100,000 years ago and then traveled through various realms. Ma Hongjun is already the third generation Phoenix God.
After finishing a melon, Lu Mingfei threw the rind into the Lake of Life, showing absolutely no awareness of environmental protection. He then grabbed another melon to continue eating.
[After that, the number of gods increased. Twelve thousand years ago, the Angel God ascended to godhood, but she soon perished. Her legacy was obtained by the Spirit Hall twenty thousand years ago, but unfortunately, it was severed ten thousand years ago.]
Fifty thousand years ago, the Rakshasa god came into being.
Unfortunately, the Rakshasa God's legacy was also lost at the same time. Without the Angel God to vanquish evil and without the Rakshasa God to absorb negative energy, evil soul masters and evil soul beasts began to proliferate uncontrollably on the Douluo Continent.
"Holy crap?!" Lu Mingfei was shocked again.
He got to eat real gossip again.
"Is this how evil spirit masters came about?" To be honest, Lu Mingfei was almost ready to pin the blame for the proliferation of evil spirit masters on Tang San.
As it turns out, he wasn't just being petty; the blame really did fall on Tang San!
PS: The following is a post-release addition, to avoid any readers not reading the author's notes.
Fan fiction will inevitably include secondary interpretations. If someone points out a problem, then they're right. My secondary interpretations are only as plausible as possible; if they're truly irreconcilable, I'll consider revising them. I haven't read the entire Douluo Continent series, and there are inconsistencies in the original work. If revisions make future developments impossible, then I'll just have to grit my teeth and leave it as it is.
In addition, I have read all the men's suggestions.
First of all, nominations can only be for the main character, absolutely the main character, or even one of the two main characters; supporting characters and villains are not eligible. Please understand. These might be included in side stories or the next book? It's uncertain.
Then there are some works that I don't want to write about, but that I haven't actually read, and it's too late to catch up now.
There are also some relatively niche protagonists that aren't impossible to write about. For example, the Ace Inspector—to be honest, that protagonist, with his abstract performance art style, gave me a huge shock. And that ending theme song, wow, it was pretty amazing too. But then you'd have to find him a popular pairing, like Naruto or Harry Potter, those popular characters.
Another point is that characters who have already been written about may reappear, but they will not be the protagonists of a new installment.
A female protagonist is definitely possible; I'll write one if I find a suitable one.
Please forgive me, gentlemen.
