Chapter 445: An Unexpected Method
The central city of the Sun Moon Empire.
The appearance of Tang Chen and Bo Saixi was no different from administering a calming draught to the living.
Ever since Tang Chen and Bo Saixi arrived at the Sun Moon Empire, with their overwhelming strength, they directly became the guardians of the empire. Normally, they never needed to intervene; naturally, others would handle matters.
However, today's situation had already surpassed the abilities of others, so the two of them had no choice but to take action.
But upon arriving here and seeing who the one striking was, Tang Chen felt greatly puzzled.
He had never expected that aside from himself, there would actually be other disciples of the Hao Tian Sect in this place.
One must know that he and Bo Saixi could come here only because of Kong's guidance. Otherwise, not to mention them, not a single person in the entire Douluo Continent would know that beyond the sea lay another continent, and upon it, soul tool technology had developed with astonishing speed.
"This power is truly formidable!"
Bo Saixi waved her right hand, releasing a surge of soul power to block Tang San's attack. Her expression grew solemn as she said, "It is even stronger than the power of Lord Sea God."
"Not only that."
Tang Chen shook his head, eyes narrowing as his tone turned icy. "It is stronger than the power of the Asura God!"
Hearing this, Bo Saixi's eyes widened in disbelief.
The Asura God was one of the God Kings of the Divine Realm, possessing supreme status and might. Yet now, the man she loved was saying that the power on this person was even greater than that of a God King. How could that be possible?
After a brief shock, Bo Saixi collected herself. Another brilliant surge of soul power descended, blasting Tang San away, as she asked, "Since that is the case, do you know where this power comes from?"
"I do not."
Tang Chen shook his head. After a moment of silence, he spoke softly, "By all reason, the Douluo Continent should not contain such a power. After all, it is far too strong, and far too dark."
"That is true."
Bo Saixi lightly nodded. After pondering for a moment, she spoke with utmost seriousness, "Then let us take him back first. Once he regains his senses, we can question him."
As she finished, her gaze sharpened, and the aura enveloping her body grew increasingly intense.
In the next moment, a dazzling blue radiance soared into the heavens, restoring the pitch-black sky to its original azure hue.
Only after doing this did Tang Chen and Bo Saixi leave, carrying Tang San, who hung limply like a dead dog.
And the unconscious Tang San never would have thought that after arriving on this unfamiliar continent, he would encounter two rank ninety-nine Limit Douluo.
Fortunately, one of them was his own kin. Otherwise, had it been someone else, he would have long been torn to pieces.
Meanwhile, within a certain great mountain in an unknown land.
Gu Yuena, who had resumed her true form, was working alone with great vigor according to her own ideas.
Just as Kong had imagined, Gu Yuena did not wish to waste time in this place, so she worked with extreme diligence.
Before long, the once flat ground had been gouged into a deep pit by her massive dragon claws.
"Listen to that—this is speed, this is efficiency." Inside the cave, hearing the sounds outside, Kong chuckled and casually tossed a bundle of firewood aside.
"However, with her strength, if the Will of Light's Origin had not appeared of its own accord, then even if she overturned the entire mountain, she might not necessarily find it." The voice of Ei drifted through the cave.
"What do you mean?" Kong frowned slightly, somewhat confused.
"Husband, have you considered why the Will of Light's Origin, which is equal to the Will of Darkness's Origin, would appear here?" Ei did not answer directly, but posed a question instead.
"You mean it is hiding from the Will of Darkness's Origin?" Kong narrowed his eyes and, after a brief silence, voiced his thought.
But the problem was, by rights, the two sides should be evenly matched. The Will of Light's Origin had no reason to fear the Will of Darkness's Origin and hide here.
"It is not that."
Ei shook her head gently and said softly, "What I mean is—could it be that something once happened, and the Will of Light's Origin was imprisoned here by the Will of Darkness's Origin? As for why Gu Yuena felt that sensation, I suspect it might be because it was calling for help. But due to certain reasons, or perhaps because it is confined in an enclosed space, it cannot do much more."
"Calling for help? No, that's not right!"
Kong furrowed his brows. After pondering for a moment, he seemed to realize something and said, "If it were only calling for help, the Will of the Universe's Origin would never have sent us to find it. Something it could easily accomplish itself—why bother involving us?"
"So, husband, what do you mean?"
"If I have not guessed wrong, then the Will of Light's Origin stayed here of its own accord. As for why, we can only know after we find it."
Finishing his words, Kong rose to his feet and stepped outside the cave. Gazing at the great mountain before him, he fell silent for a moment, then spoke earnestly, "Wife Ei, if you use your final chance here, can you find it? After you emerge, how long can you remain in this world?"
"Not certain. Normally, I should be able to find it, but you will have no more than a quarter of an hour."
Ei replied calmly, "If after a quarter hour you cannot persuade the Will of Light's Origin to leave with you, then this mission will only end in failure."
Once she released her full power to search for the Will of Light's Origin, neither the remaining power of the laws nor the Will of the Universe's Origin would permit it. If time dragged on, the entire timeline of the past would collapse.
"In that case, let's wait a little longer and see if Gu Yuena can find it."
Hearing this, Kong sighed helplessly and said, "If it truly cannot be found, then we'll use the third method. Whether it succeeds or not, we must at least meet the target once. Otherwise, coming here would truly be in vain."
Night fell, and the heavens glittered with countless stars, shining brilliantly.
At the mountain's center, Gu Yuena had nearly hollowed out the entire massif, yet still had not found her target.
"This makes no sense. Could it be that it isn't here?"
She halted her actions, whispered softly, then could not resist raising her head and shouting aloud, "Will of Light's Origin, where are you? If you cannot come out, at least give me a sign!"
Hearing this, both Kong and Ei wore speechless expressions. If it could truly be summoned so easily by shouting, why would they have endured in this cursed place for so long?
Yet in that very instant, an incomparably brilliant golden light appeared, illuminating the entire night sky.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yuena's eyes lit up, while Kong's eyes widened in utter disbelief.
No way—this actually worked?
