Chapter 117: Soul Power Is Useless — Mechanical Ascension!
[You refined the Golden Dragon King. Your strength rose slightly.]
[Your thoughts turned toward Douluo Star.]
[Under normal circumstances, Douluo Star should not have been swept away by the spatial-temporal turbulence. It is a complete physical planet, not an energy-form plane.]
[The Abyss and the God Realm, though unequal in energy, are both planes that exist in energy form.]
[Because of the expansion of the God Realm, its barrier had become as fragile as paper. That was why, in the original timeline, the God Realm was swept away by the spatial-temporal turbulence…]
[You speculated that Douluo Star had not been carried too far.]
[After making some arrangements, you descended to the lower realm. You intended to bring Douluo Star back.]
[The Douluo plane consciousness had treated you well. A drop of kindness should be repaid with a surging spring.]
[Now that it was in trouble, you could not stand idly by.]
[Hu Liena was extremely reluctant to see you leave. Bibi Dong, on the other hand, practically wished you would hurry up and go. You were always wandering around in front of her, and she had to address you as "Your Majesty, God King"!]
[You arrived at Douluo Star's original location. Sensing that strand of divine soul, your eyes lit up, and joy welled in your heart.]
[Your guess was correct!]
[For a planet with physical substance, the spatial-temporal turbulence could not cause significant damage, nor could it carry it too far.]
[You flew toward the sensed location. Your luck was astonishingly good—you picked up a spaceship in the vast cosmos. You froze, somewhat bewildered.]
[Logically speaking, at this point, spaceships should not even exist. Yet you found one!]
[You did not think too much about it. You boarded the spaceship. Though you did not know how to operate it, there was an instruction manual you could understand.]
Wang Li: "You're not even pretending anymore, huh?"
[You quickly learned how to use it and piloted the spaceship toward the sensed direction.]
[While flying, you accidentally collided with a meteorite. Your spaceship was damaged. You were puzzled. This was the first time you had been so unlucky.]
[You disembarked and looked at the meteorite. It split apart—or rather, its outer shell peeled off!]
[What appeared before you was a cosmic battleship!!]
[You were dumbstruck, mouth slightly open, words stuck in your throat.]
Wang Li: "..."
From beginning to end, it had never been turned off!!
What kind of nonsense was this? Calling it bad luck to crash a spaceship into a meteorite—this was absurdly good luck!
From a bird gun to a cannon!
[You boarded the cosmic battleship, found the manual, and somewhat clumsily continued your journey.]
[You increasingly felt that your luck was excessively outrageous…]
[Whatever you did, it was as if heaven favored you. No… it felt like the entire universe favored you!]
[It was as though you had obtained some heaven-defying luck Gu. After thinking briefly, you concluded that as a transmigrator, possessing such luck was normal.]
Wang Li: "Normal my ass!! This is anything but normal!!"
Could it be that this guy consumed all of "Wang Li's" fortune?
Otherwise, why was everyone else so unlucky?
[Several years later, you truly found Douluo Star. The moment you descended, the Douluo plane consciousness detected you because you had not concealed yourself at all… and neither could your fleet.]
[After flying for so many years, you had gathered numerous cosmic warships and formed a space fleet.]
[The Douluo plane consciousness was overjoyed to the point of tears. It had not expected you to truly come, yet you had!]
[When Douluo Star was swept away, it had panicked. It was never imagined that a physical planet could be carried off by spatial-temporal turbulence!]
[Before descending, you had observed this region of the cosmos.]
[Compared to Douluo Star's original location, the resources here seemed far more abundant!]
[You frowned and fell into contemplation.]
[Being swept here by the turbulence… Was this actually good fortune?]
[There was also a sun here. After being swept in, it instinctively captured a small asteroid, forming a moon…]
[Moreover, the cosmic resources here far exceed those of its previous location!]
[After your assessment, the Douluo plane consciousness also realized the truth.]
[Coming here was not a disaster but a blessing!]
[Since arriving, its origin power has increased significantly!]
[Given tens of thousands of years more, it could easily evolve to accommodate Second-Class Gods residing permanently.]
[This was a leap in origin…]
[You and the plane consciousness looked at one another, both feeling somewhat awkward.]
[You had come searching for nothing. It had cried for help over nothing…]
[Perhaps millions of years later, it might develop into a plane second only to the God Realm.]
[The God Realm might be small, but its origin power was overwhelmingly strong—something the Douluo plane could not rival overnight.]
[You arrived at Douluo Continent, the Spirit Empire.]
[After the previous "natural disaster," the development of both humans and soul beasts had taken a direction you never expected.]
[Under the impact of the spatial-temporal turbulence, both sides suffered massive casualties. Populations plummeted, and the Empire nearly collapsed.]
[Humanity abandoned the profession of Soul Master. They even gave up cultivating soul power entirely, turning instead toward technological advancement!]
[The soul beasts' changes were less drastic, but their mode of coexistence with humans transformed.]
[They were no longer called soul beasts. They were now referred to as "spirits." Humans who gained a spirit's recognition could become partners.]
Wang Li: "???"
Don't be this ridiculous, come on!!
Just imagining it—"I choose you, Di Tian!"
Wang Li almost lost control!
[In the face of the apocalypse, human technology advanced at a terrifying speed. Even the strongest Titled Douluo could not withstand a nuclear bomb…]
[No matter how powerful a Titled Douluo was, they could not even fly beyond the cloud layer…]
[The surviving humans concluded that cultivating soul power was a mistaken path. Soul tools might be the future humanity should pursue.]
[While researching soul tools, soul engineers accidentally discovered that steam could replace soul power as a source of propulsion…]
[Then came electricity, hydropower…]
[Gradually, they realized these energy sources were more efficient and sustainable than soul power…]
[Soul Masters were thus eliminated by the tides of history!]
[Listening to the plane consciousness' narration, you sank into deep thought.]
[You felt that because of your arrival, the entire Douluo Continent had undergone a complete and absurd rewrite.]
[Humanity had actually stopped cultivating soul power altogether. You did not even know what to say anymore.]
[Even martial soul awakening had been phased out by humanity.]
[You watched motorcycle-like aircraft streak across the sky.]
[You looked at buildings taller and more magnificent than those on your previous world's planet. Your heart could not calm down for a long time.]
[So the Douluo plane's dimensional ascension amounted to nothing!]
[You sighed. If someone transmigrated to the Douluo Continent at this moment, their jaw would probably hit the floor. They might even doubt whether their cheat ability had been activated incorrectly!]
