Chapter 4: When Dugu Bo Read Douluo Continent
Dugu Bo suppressed his anger and continued reading.
Later on, while still unaware of the true value of the immortal herbs, he casually handed over a large number of them to that boy named Tang San.
Not only that, he was even persuaded by the boy to become an elder of that so-called Shrek Academy.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo was so angry that his beard practically bristled and his eyes widened.
Who was he, Dugu Bo?
A Title Douluo who cultivated despite the deadly Jade Phosphor Snake poison—
Yet he was played like a fool by a mere brat, even treating him as a confidant… a friend across generations?
Dugu Bo had already made up his mind—
He would make Tang San pay the price.
Even if he was the son of Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo.
Continuing on, the rest mostly detailed Tang San's growth.
Dugu Bo barely appeared anymore.
At the end, when Tang San and others like Qian Renxue became gods, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel yearning.
A god…
Even the strongest Title Douluo could only look up to such an existence.
So the legends were true—
Both Sea God Island and the Spirit Hall possessed divine inheritances.
And even the Slaughter City was a place of divine inheritance.
The once-strongest man on the continent, Tang Chen, had been lost there?
Divine inheritance…
It was truly dangerous.
Inside his spiritual world, the book continued flipping.
Dugu Bo's expression kept changing—
Frowning at times, surprised at others.
Finally, he finished reading it.
At the end of the story, Tang San and the others ascended to the God Realm.
As for Dugu Bo and his granddaughter—
Their ending wasn't even mentioned.
But the method Tang San gave him?
There was clearly a problem.
Using soul bones to store poison—that part made sense.
But how much poison could a single soul bone hold?
Once it filled up, they would need another soul bone.
Otherwise, death by poison was still inevitable.
But soul bones were extremely rare.
If they couldn't find enough—
They would still die in the end.
This was merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
Dugu Bo turned his gaze to the Octagonal Ice Grass and Inferno Delicate Apricot growing in the Yin-Yang Well, deep in thought.
Setting that aside—
The book mentioned that if he consumed those two herbs like Tang San did, it could cure his poison.
But—
It would also dissolve all his poison-based cultivation.
Since his soul power was entirely poison-attributed, detoxifying himself meant losing his power.
Did that mean starting cultivation from scratch?
Dugu Bo frowned slightly and suppressed these thoughts for now.
From the book, he had learned many important things:
Tang San was the son of Tang Hao, who was currently living in Holy Soul Village.
Seven years ago, Tang Hao fought three Title Douluo from Spirit Hall alone and even seriously injured the Pope, Qian Xunji.
This event forced the Clear Sky Sect into seclusion and shook the entire soul master world.
The current Pope was indeed Bibi Dong, just like in the book.
There was also that 100,000-year soul beast—
Although it sacrificed itself to Tang Hao, it didn't truly die.
It left behind a seed, which Tang Hao brought back to Holy Soul Village.
Given Tang Hao's personality—
If someone took that Blue Silver Grass, wouldn't he obediently submit?
Of course, Dugu Bo wasn't that despicable.
At most, he would consider taking its spirit ring.
The book also mentioned that his Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well could accelerate plant-type soul beasts.
So—
Could that Blue Silver Grass be cultivated into a 100,000-year spirit ring?
Even if he couldn't use it himself—
He could leave it for his granddaughter.
Even if the attributes didn't match, a 100,000-year spirit ring was far superior to a 10,000-year one—and it would also come with a soul bone.
By the time his granddaughter reached level 90, that plant should be mature enough.
There was more—
In Notting City, there was a 100,000-year Soft Bone Charming Rabbit in human form.
And it had close ties to two beast kings in the Star Dou Forest.
Perhaps that could also be used to his advantage.
These soul beasts were closely tied to Tang San—
But Dugu Bo didn't care.
That boy had clearly taken advantage of him.
Why should he consider Tang San's feelings?
"Those who respect me, I respect in return.
Those who oppose me—I kill."
That was Dugu Bo's way.
Still, it was too early to act on any of this.
After all, this was just Long Aotian's memory.
And Long Aotian himself had appeared far too strangely.
What if this was all a trap?
Also—
Why did Long Aotian appear in his spiritual sea right when he was breaking through?
There was no answer to that in the memories.
With these doubts, Dugu Bo once again entered Long Aotian's memories.
Scene after scene flashed by.
Most of it was just life in the orphanage—nothing unusual.
But he patiently kept watching.
Until one day—
Long Aotian died in a corner of the orphanage.
At the moment his soul left his body—
A beam of golden light appeared.
Dugu Bo focused.
He saw Long Aotian's soul immediately wrapped in golden light and shot into the sky.
Then—
That same emotionless system voice appeared.
Now Dugu Bo finally understood the origin of this so-called Life Simulator System.
Soon after, the golden light left Earth and brought Long Aotian directly to the skies above the Sunset Forest.
It was heading toward the forest outskirts—
But coincidentally, it encountered Dugu Bo's breakthrough.
The massive soul power vortex dragged Long Aotian in.
Then—
Came the scene of Long Aotian being devoured.
And his memories ended in darkness.
"So… that's how it happened."
"This is the process of transmigration?"
"But then…"
"That boy Tang San didn't have a system protecting him—so how did he cross over into this world?"
