Douluo Dalu 3: The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1940: What Happened?

Zang Xin slowly opened his eyes, and in the instant that his consciousness returned to him, he was immediately greeted by the sound of deafening cheers.

He quickly turned to inspect his surroundings, and he just so happened to catch Cao Dezhi's surprised gaze.

The two of them blinked in a perplexed manner before lowering their heads in unison, and upon noticing the fact that they were holding hands with one another, they immediately withdrew their hands as if they had been electrocuted and quickly took a couple of backward steps.

"What's going on? Why are we here? Didn't we already die?" Zang Xin asked in an astonished manner.

Cao Dezhi rubbed his own eyes in disbelief as he saw all of the familiar figures around them, and right at this moment, two figures descended toward them from the distant sky.

"Is that... Elder Long?"

Indeed, the duo that was approaching them was comprised of none other than Long Yeyue and Chen Xinjie.

In this moment, everyone was filled with awe and astonishment.

Tang Hao's body had become even more faded, and following everyone's resurrections, he returned to his original size before making his way over to Tang Wulin.

"Are you alright, Grandfather?" Tang Wulin asked in a concerned manner.

Tang Hao shook his head with a smile, and replied, "Prior to your father's return, I've always been the ruler of the Douluo Plane, so my energy has been spread all over the plane, and my sentient will normally won't appear; it's only through your father's powers that I've been able to appear here and deal that lethal blow upon the Holy Lord. So long as the Douluo Star exists, I will also forever exist, and that's the reason why I became the planar ruler. Once your father returns, he'll guide me back to the Divine Realm.

"You have done us very proud, Wulin. I've completed my role, and it's time for you to enjoy the fruits of victory. However, don't grow complacent; you still have an enormous responsibility on your shoulders. You already possess powers close to those of a god, but you'll have to create a Divine Realm and truly become a god if you want to go out into space to find your parents, so you still have a long way to go. Now that the abyssal plane has been devoured, the entire Douluo Plane will undergo some evolution.

"At the very least, the upper limit of the restrictions on the powerful beings in the plane will be raised. Perhaps in the near future, the Douluo Continent will be able to evolve into a Pseudo-divine Realm, that will possess some godseats, thereby further boosting your powers. The abyssal energy absorbed by your grandmother will also be transmitted into this entire plane, and both she and I will be going into hibernation. You'll be able to constantly absorb life energy from the tree of life, so that's the most suitable place for your cultivation."

"How will I be able to contact you two if you go into hibernation?" Tang Wulin asked in an urgent voice.

Tang Hao replied, "There's too much abyssal energy to be absorbed. After all, the abyssal plane was superior even to our plane, so it won't be an easy task to completely devour it. As such, we'll require a long time to absorb this energy. Once the process is complete, rank 100 will no longer be the ultimate bottleneck for Soul Masters. As for how long that will take, I'm afraid I don't know. In any case, you're virtually the most powerful being on the plane now, so I can rest easy in my hibernation.

"Your father has always kept his word, so I'm sure they'll be able to return; perhaps he'll have to be the one to awaken your grandmother and me. In the meantime, work hard in your cultivation. If you don't have a set of coordinates to pursue, then it's better to wait for them to return to you rather than to try and find them. Your father is more powerful than you can imagine, and after experiencing so much, I'm sure he'll become even more powerful."

A benevolent smile appeared on Tang Hao's stern face as he spoke, and he gently patted Tang Wulin's head. "You and your father have both been forced to go through too many hardships and take on too many responsibilities; once you have children in the future, you have to make sure to look after them so they don't have to go through the same hardships. Adversity can help one grow, but our Tang Family has had more than its fair share of adversity; it's time we had a change."

"We'll meet again, right, Grandfather?" Tang Wulin asked.

"Of course," Tang Hao chuckled, "Your Golden Dragon King bloodline will give you a lifespan as long as that of a dragon, and with your godly body, it'll be hard for you to die even if you tried. However, make sure you don't touch those final two Golden Dragon King seals. With your current bodily condition, you should have no problems stabilizing the seals. Once your father returns, he'll take care of the remaining power of the Golden Dragon King in your body."

"Yes," Tang Wulin replied in a respectful manner.

"Alright, it's time for me to go now; I have to lend your grandmother a hand. This is a massive present your father prepared for us over the course of 10,000 years, so we can't waste any of it. Go back to Shrek Academy; there will be a pleasant surprise waiting for you there."

With that, Tang Hao turned and flew toward Ah Yin as a ball of rainbow light. In the next instant, all of the abyssal energy in the air was virtually instantly wiped away amid a flash of rainbow light.

The rainbow light then exploded into countless specks of light that rained down from the heavens to nourish the Douluo Continent, and the sky also turned a rainbow color.

One rainbow after another appeared in the sky, signifying the end of the storm.

For the entire Douluo Star and the human race, the calamity was finally over, and a brand new world was waiting for them!

All of a sudden, a loud scream rang out. "Tang Wulin!"

Tang Wulin turned to discover Ling Zichen shouting up at him from the ground below.

That's right, she had also been resurrected.

However, at this moment, she looked no different from the average person; she had lost her source positive circulation cores and the Eternal Heaven cannon was also missing.

Tang Wulin descended in front of Ling Zichen with Gu Yuena by his side, and Ling Zichen took a look at the two of them before suddenly erupting into a fury. "Who resurrected me? Get him to come and see me!"

Tang Wulin's brows furrowed slightly as he asked, "What's gotten you so worked up?"

Ling Zichen yelled, "Where are my source positive circulation cores? Where is my Eternal Heaven? Get him to return them to me! How can he resurrect me but steal my stuff?"

Tang Wulin was rendered speechless upon hearing this.

She had only just been resurrected, yet she was still thinking about all of her equipment.

"All of your stuff has already been detonated; how can we possibly recover it?" Tang Wulin asked in a resigned manner.

Ling Zichen refused to let up. "I don't care; you have to get them back for me!"

Right at this moment, a placid voice rang out. "Pardon my intrusion, but can someone tell me what's going on? Why am I suddenly alive again?" It was Guan Yue who had raised the question, but all of the other powerful beings, including Chen Xinjie, Long Yeyue, Zang Xin, and Cao Dezhi had also approached Tang Wulin alongside him.
