This blurry existence gradually transformed into the image of a little lolita girl.
Blinking her large eyes, she floated in the void, a circle of a faint, changing halo of light surrounding her.
"The will of the plane? The will of the Douluo Star plane?" Lin Feng's brow raised slightly, looking at the little girl before him with great interest.
"Mmm, you can understand it that way," the will of the plane nodded. Her voice was crisp and pleasant, yet it carried a sense of majesty, fierce yet cute.
"You are very strong. So strong that you have made me feel a threat. But speaking of which, I should be the one to thank you."
She stretched out her hand and squeezed it, looking at her own body and saying, "If not for your cultivation method that has improved the soul masters as a whole, and you all having killed so many gods of the Divine Realm, even including a God-King, I would also not have had the chance to manifest."
She crossed her arms over her chest and nodded with an air of an old person. "Mmm, I really have to thank you. The Douluo Star as a whole is getting stronger, which has also brought me to gradually solidify. This feeling is really very good."
"However, there is one more thing. If things are allowed to develop like this, the Douluo Star will still face a huge crisis," the little girl's tone suddenly became serious, her large eyes sparkling with a worried brilliance.
Lin Feng stroked his chin. He had already guessed a little. But seeing this one as if she were about to show off, he was also happy to let her continue.
"Why don't you even ask a question? Aren't you curious about the reason?" She pouted her small mouth, as if a little dissatisfied with Lin Feng's lack of cooperation.
"Not curious."
"Ah le le?" The little girl's eyes widened. It was clear that she was surprised by this kind of a reaction from Lin Feng. She floated a few times, and the halo of light even seemed a little chaotic. "No! You are curious!"
"Not curious."
"You you you..." She was a little flustered and exasperated, her small face flushed red. "How can you not be curious! This is a major matter concerning the life and death of the Douluo Star!"
"Aiya, I don't care anymore! I'll just say it directly! The cultivation and development of humans, although it can make the Douluo Star stronger day by day, at the same time, it is also consuming the resources and energy of the Douluo Star itself."
"Don't even mention that the current soul beast clan is also going to join this rank. After tens of thousands of years, once the plane is out of balance, the Douluo Star will on the contrary become fragile, and the laws that construct heaven and earth will become even weaker."
"The massive boulder that once steadied the great ritual cauldron has now turned to a fragile egg. Do you comprehend this metaphor?"
Lin Feng sighed. "The Douluo Divine Realm had broken away from the Douluo Star. The Dragon God had back then taken away most of the origin power of the Douluo Star and had forged the foundation of the Divine Realm."
"A qualified plane, the more experts it nurtures, the stronger it itself should also be. The situation of the Douluo Star is a little special. I don't know if it's because the Dragon God had taken away too much of the origin back then, which has led to the current Douluo Star being unable to support the birth and growth of too many experts."
"Or is it that the Douluo Star itself does not possess such an ability? To restrict a soul beast from becoming a god, one of the internal reasons why the humans on the Douluo Star must obtain a soul beast's soul ring, perhaps also has a part of this factor?"
"What do you mean?" The little girl was stunned for a moment.
"The cake is not enough to be divided. So we have to make it bigger."
"The universe is vast and boundless. The worldly primordial qi of the Douluo Star, compared to the energy in the universe, is but a drop in the ocean."
"Just like the Douluo Divine Realm, which is attached to Douluo Star. It sucks the lifeblood from the planet yet contributes nothing in return—it is nothing but a corpse seated at the feast, devouring without labor."
"If we can find a way to let the Douluo Star, like the Douluo Divine Realm, directly draw energy from the universe, then the origin power of the Douluo Star can be supplemented, and can even become stronger."
"With its foundation repaired, it can also bear the birth of a god-level expert."
The little girl's eyes lit up. What she had originally thought was to have Lin Feng take away a part of the people and the soul beasts, or to restrict the development of a part of the people and the soul beasts. It turned out it could also be like this?
"Then what should we do?"
"To transform the Douluo Star, similar to the Divine Realm, to reconstruct its laws, to let it be able to on its own draw energy from the universe—this is indeed a vast project," Lin Feng said slowly. "But it is very feasible."
"Oh? Then do you have a specific plan?" The little girl blinked her large eyes, curiously staring at Lin Feng. A halo of light swayed gently by her side, looking forward to his answer.
Lin Feng smiled faintly. "First, to find a special substance and a formation that can connect with the energy of the universe. This substance or formation must be able to withstand the vastness and the violence of the cosmic energy, and to transform it into a form that the Douluo Star can gently absorb."
"Second, to reconstruct the planar laws of the Douluo Star. The planar laws are the foundation of the Douluo Star's existence, and also the key to its absorption of energy. We have to make the planar laws more open, more receptive to the energy from the universe."
Speaking of this, Lin Feng stretched out his hand and pinched the sides of this plane will's cheeks, pulling them outwards, which had drawn a cry of pain from her.
"Aiyo! What are you doing~~~"
"This second matter will be left to you. You also wouldn't want me to take you apart and to knock and beat you, right?"
"Then, to achieve a balance in the energy cycle within the Douluo Star. With the pouring in of the cosmic energy, the energy balance within the Douluo Star will be broken. We must find a way to have this new, pouring-in energy cycle with the original energy of the Douluo Star."
"Very coincidentally, the situation in my body can deduce a formation that meets these conditions."
"That's really a coincidence," the will of the plane pouted and rubbed her own cheeks. "Hmph! A coincidence also depends on whether you can do it!" She placed her hands on her hips and looked at Lin Feng.
"Hmm?"
Lin Feng directly held her in his hand, holding her by the neck of her fate. "What kind of a tone is that? I'll give you another chance to rethink."
"I was wrong! I was wrong!!!" The little girl struggled wildly in the air, her small hands hitting Lin Feng's.
She herself also had a god-level power. But in Lin Feng's hands, she was no different from an ordinary person. All her great power could not be displayed and was all locked down by Lin Feng.
"Speaking of which, do you have a main body?"
The girl thought for a moment. "I was born from nothingness. For a long period of time, I have been in a muddled state and do not have a specific main body form," the little girl stopped struggling, was suspended before Lin Feng, and said seriously.
"I am just the incarnation of the Douluo Star's will. With the changes of the Douluo Star, I have gradually condensed. Recently, because of the relationship with you, a group of people, only then have I had a clear will and have become like this."
"To have chosen to become this human's appearance was just because I saw you were a human. I felt that to choose this form to communicate with you would be a little closer."
"If I were to have to have a main body, then I might choose the Golden Ancient Tree as my reliance. After all, it and I are of the same root and origin and are the life core of the Douluo Star."
Lin Feng was a little surprised. "You've just told me of this thing's existence like this? Aren't you afraid I will covet it or destroy it?" He stared at the little girl, a playful smile flashing in his eyes.
The little girl, on the contrary, glared at him fiercely yet cutely. "It's not like I can stop you. If you really want to find it, you can discover its existence with a single thought. As for what 'covet', I think you don't even look up to it."
"Although I have just been born with a complete spiritual intelligence not long ago, do you really take me for a human child? You want to scare me? Hmph."
Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile. He released his hand. "So you came to find me just to say this?"
"Hoo—" The will of the plane rubbed her own neck. "I know you are amazing, and your strength is great. So that's why I wanted to ask you to help me."
"Of course, besides this matter, there is one more thing, which is also very important. Not long ago, a power had invaded the Douluo Star. And then, for some reason, it had disappeared."
"According to my memory, that thing should be called the universal laws."
Hearing this, Lin Feng's gaze slightly condensed. When he had been reborn through nirvana, the universal laws had once manifested.
The boundless thunder pool, the universe-shaking thunder tribulation. Under its boundless power, the place where he had fought with the Evil God-King, many of the spaces were even still shattered.
"The universal laws? Are you sure?" Lin Feng asked in a deep voice.
The will of the plane nodded. "I am sure. Although at that time I had only vaguely sensed an extremely powerful and strange power, the feeling that power gave me was precisely a part of the universal laws. It had come suddenly, and had disappeared just as strangely. But I can be sure that it had indeed existed."
She learned from Lin Feng and stroked her chin, saying in a small voice, "The feeling when it left was like it was running away? So strange..."
"Running away?" Lin Feng murmured to himself.
The will of the plane, hearing Lin Feng's words, blinked her large eyes and said in a childish voice, "I also don't know. I just have this feeling. That power had appeared very suddenly, and then had very quickly disappeared, as if... as if it had met something terrifying."
It couldn't be me, right? Lin Feng looked into the distance. To have, with one look, exhausted the entire thunder pool, was that very terrifying? It wasn't, right...
He shook his head. Lin Feng looked at the will of the plane before him and couldn't help but tap her on the head. "Let me give you a name."
"A name? I don't want that kind of a thing. So boring," the will of the plane pouted. "I was nurtured by heaven and earth."
"To have a name is convenient for communication," Lin Feng said with a smile, his tone carrying a trace of an unquestionable meaning. "How about I call you 'Douluo'? It both embodies your identity as the will of the Douluo Star plane and also fits your current appearance."
"Douluo?" The will of the plane tilted her head, a huffy look on her face. "If you can't come up with a name, then don't! I'll really thank you!"
Lin Feng laughed, held her by the neck, and as he flew back towards the Douluo Star, he said, "Just kidding. I'll call you Ling'er."
"Ling'er?" She thought seriously for a moment and only then finally nodded. "Alright then. Then I will reluctantly accept this name."
At least it sounded much better than "Douluo," right?
She pouted her lips, a very uncomfortable look on her face.
Suddenly, she shouted loudly, "Hey hey hey! Where are you taking me?!"
"Of course it's back to the Douluo Star. Could it be that you still want to float in this void?" Lin Feng replied with a smile. The movement in his hand had not slowed down in the slightest. He was still holding the little girl—now she should be called Ling'er—and was flying in the direction of the Douluo Star.
Ling'er was twisting her body in the air, trying to break free from Lin Feng's hand, but found that she simply could not shake him in the slightest. "Hey hey hey! Let me down! I can fly on my own!"
"You're too slow like this. It's faster for me to take you," Lin Feng said, his speed on the contrary not decreasing in the slightest. In an instant, he had already entered the atmosphere of the Douluo Star.
"No! No! I don't want to see others!" Ling'er struggled, her small face full of resistance. "I, the majestic will of the Douluo Star plane, to be held by you like this, what does it look like! Let me down quickly!"
"And, I don't want to meet other humans at all! To communicate with you is already the greatest concession!" Ling'er continued to protest, her small hands waving wildly.
"Are you socially anxious?"
"What do you mean?" Ling'er was stunned for a moment.
"It means that when you see a stranger, you will blush and be unable to speak."
"Hmph! I am not like that!" Ling'er glared at Lin Feng with a huff. "I just... I just don't want to be seen in this appearance!"
"This kind of an appearance, for you alone to see is enough. If the living beings of the Douluo Star were to see me in this appearance, and to know that their 'old ancestor' actually looks like this, what would that look like!"
"You chose this transformed appearance yourself, and now you're going back on your word?" Lin Feng was surprised.
"You think I wanted to choose? I had no choice! The moment I woke up, I was like this! Can this be blamed on me?" Ling'er mumbled with even more dissatisfaction. "At the very least, I have to fly on my own! Don't hold me like a little chick!"
"Alright then," Lin Feng smiled and then immediately released his hand. Ling'er was immediately like a little bird that had been released. She happily did a somersault in the air and then steadily hovered by Lin Feng's side.
"Hmph, that's more like it," Ling'er crossed her arms over her chest.
A spiritual light flashed. The two had in an instant returned to the side of Gu Yuena, Qian Renxue, and the others.
"Xiao Feng! Where did you abduct this child from?" Seeing the Ling'er that was hovering by Lin Feng's side, Qian Renxue couldn't help but widen her eyes. Her tone carried a bit of a surprise. She could feel that this little girl herself had a god-level power.
Gu Yuena also cast a curious gaze over, sizing up this suddenly appearing little girl from top to bottom.
Her pupils moved slightly. "You... are the Douluo Star...?"
"That's right! I, this one, am precisely the will of the Douluo Star plane! Ling'er is me!" The little girl placed her hands on her hips and announced her identity in a childish voice.
"Wow~" Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. She directly went forward and held Ling'er, not caring at all about her resistance, and rubbed her small face. "So cute."
"Aiya! Don't you touch me!"
While rubbing, she looked at Lin Feng, her two pupils full of... desire. A sound transmission then immediately appeared in Lin Feng's ear.
"Xiao Feng, you know."
Lin Feng could already imagine how tragic the battle situation tonight would be...
He looked at Ling'er and found that this will of the Douluo Star plane was in a helpless state, being "ravaged" by Qian Renxue. Her small face was full of helplessness and protest, yet because of the disparity in strength, she was unable to break free.
"Damn it! For me to be so humiliated! Sob sob sob..."
Lin Feng simply recounted the ins and outs to Gu Yuena, Qian Renxue, and Qing Xuan.
"The will of the Douluo Star plane? No wonder it has such a special aura," Qing Xuan nodded, walked to Qian Renxue's side, and patted Ling'er's head. "I have a sense of closeness to her. A very strange feeling."
Could it be because you are both fated with a tree? One is an Ancient Tree of Life, one is a Golden Ancient Tree...
"The matter of the spirit-gathering formation will be put aside for now. For now, it is this."
Lin Feng stretched out his hand, and a golden dragon pearl was held in his hand, shining brightly.
He looked at Gu Yuena with a smile. "Na'er, it's time."
