Chapter 823: Chapter 819: Conversing with the Spirit of the Plane, Preparing to Rescue Gu Yuena!_1
Luo Yu could feel the child-like docility of the flame in his palm, which harbored a terrifying power within.
The divinity of assembling twenty-six Strange Flames.
Having absorbed all the power of the abyssal plane, the might was no laughing matter.
If he weren't in control of the planar power of Douluo, he would hardly be a match for this mass of Chaos Extinguish World Flames.
Moreover, Luo Yu sensed that this flame was only in its mature phase, not yet developed to its ultimate form, and held great potential to be unearthed.
He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a look of joy.
This time, he had gained an incredibly potent ace in the hole.
"Swoosh!"
The flame turned into a streak of light and slid into the back of Luo Yu's hand, forming a chaos-colored flame mark, emitting a faint glow.
From his high vantage point, Luo Yu overlooked the tens of thousands of members of the Yan Huang Alliance Division below.
Wherever his gaze fell, everyone felt their knees seized by a force of pure and righteous Power of Heaven and Earth, compelling them to stand.
"You all share one heart and one virtue with me."
"Today, as the abyss has been defeated, Soul Land will surely be reborn anew."
"This Alliance Hierarch is willing to join hands with you all for encouragement."
Luo Yu felt gratified that no one had fled in the midst of battle.
He immediately swept his hand through the void.
Countless streams of nature's spiritual energy gathered and transformed into a downpour of sweet dew.
Everyone's injuries quickly healed, their depleted Soul Power also rapidly recovered, and even the shackles that had not been broken for years showed signs of loosening.
People like Tang Chen and others had previously received a portion of this sweet dew, and now experiencing it anew, they felt an even more profound difference.
This celestial downpour was more than tenfold more bountiful than before in the far northern lands.
What did this imply?
It implied that the magnitude of Luo Yu's strength had increased drastically.
Which allowed for such a miraculous display.
"We thank the Alliance Hierarch!"
The shouts of tens of thousands resonated, shaking the heavens and earth, and at this moment, Luo Yu's prestige soared to an unprecedented and unmatched height.
At this moment, Luo Yu calmly arranged:
"Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, Bi Bidong, Bossi, you arrange for the people of the Yan Huang Alliance Division to reassure the common people. The continuous battles must have startled them; we cannot permit chaos to descend upon Douluo."
"We will heed the Alliance Hierarch's command."
Everyone answered in unison, all in agreement.
Luo Yu did not make any further arrangements as Bi Bidong and others were far more expert in the details; each had their specialization.
Now that Douluo's Qi Yun (Destiny) was fully his, and the people lived in peace and prosperity with a new generation of strong individuals emerging, his strength would correspondingly grow stronger and stronger.
If Douluo were to decline, then he would almost lose the enhancement of the planar power.
Therefore, he made revitalizing the people and eliminating warfare his top priority.
After arranging everything, Luo Yu intended to take his leave, for he had other pressing matters to attend to.
"Swoosh!"
Luo Yu turned into a silver silhouette and vanished from the spot.
"The Alliance Hierarch... has he left just like that?" Tang Chen said in surprise, looking at where Luo Yu had disappeared.
"Why stay if not to listen to you spout bootlicking nonsense?" Qian Daoliu said sarcastically.
"Pah." Tang Chen spat, "That's called reverence, something an old fart like you wouldn't understand."
Bi Bidong shook his head.
"Brother Yu still has many things to do. Let's just do what we should and try our best to relieve his worries."
Xiaowu, the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters were whispering to each other with looks of reluctance in their Beautiful Eyes.
Wearing a dark blue warrior outfit, Ning Rongrong had her hair tied up. To facilitate battle, she naturally wouldn't wear flamboyant princess dresses.
"Brother Yu hasn't come to see us for a long time."
Ye Lingling sighed, "Brother Yu has a lot of things to do, we should understand that."
Ning Rongrong pursed her red lips.
"Of course, I understand. I'm not a vase who just acts coquettishly and petulantly."
"It's just a bit emotional."
"Back in the day, Brother Yu was somewhat flirtatious, but it has been a long time since he has doted on us."
"Yes," Xiaowu, with her scorpion-tail braid, nodded along, her pink enchanting eyes glinting with longing.
"Do you think... do you think Brother Yu is now so drained from battle that he doesn't have the stamina or capability anymore?" Zhu Zhuyun teased as she covered her lips with her hand.
"Come on, as if he'd be incapable?" Zhu Zhuqing gave her sister a glare, "We'd better start worrying about our own safety first."
"After all, Brother Yu's current strength... You've seen it for yourselves,"
Upon hearing these words, all the girls shivered.
Xue Wu alone appeared eager to try, her tongue gently moistening her red lips.
Ah Yin, with her elegant demeanor and the charm of a mature woman, gazed longingly at the spot where Luo Yu had disappeared, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.
"That's just the kind of man Brother Yu is,"
"He's the most unserious when he's free,"
"But when this world needs him, no one is more serious or reliable than he is."
Charm Emperor and the beautiful State Preceptor stood at another end of the void, their eyes looking distant and dreamy.
"Sister Miao, my heart is beating a bit fast," Charm Emperor said, clutching her chest.
The beautiful State Preceptor rolled her eyes at her: "Please, get a grip, would you? Do you even have a heart?"
Charm Emperor's facade cracked in a second.
"I was just trying to express that feeling, okay?"
"What feeling?" the beautiful State Preceptor asked.
"I think... I'm enchanted by that man," Charm Emperor began softly and then pointed at the beautiful State Preceptor, "Don't tell me you're resistant to a man like that."
The usually composed and calm beautiful State Preceptor pondered for a moment, then blurted out something shocking.
"I'm not enchanted, I just want to have his monkey."
...
Luo Yu was completely unaware of what the women were discussing.
Instead, he felt the planar power within him showing signs of leaving his control and quickly found a quiet place to investigate the cause.
He was now sitting atop a plain, with no creature daring to approach the area.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Streams of mysterious white light flowed from his body, dispersing into the world around him.
It was the planar power of Soul Land.
Luo Yu couldn't stop it at all.
"Hasn't it already fused? Why is this happening?" Luo Yu wondered.
"That's because it hasn't fully fused," an unfamiliar voice suddenly said. A speck of white light burst out of Luo Yu's forehead, full of vitality.
"Spirit of the Plane?" Luo Yu asked.
The white light wobbled.
"How strange you are, kid."
"I made up my mind to fuse with you, and yet it's impossible."
Luo Yu asked in confusion:
"Why?"
"Haven't I already gathered all of Soul Land's Qi Yun (Destiny)? All it takes is your willingness for a complete fusion."
The Spirit of the Plane said irritably:
"I was willing, but these ten freakishly strange Origin Powers inside you weren't."
Luo Yu hesitated for a moment.
"Are you saying, my Dragon God and the Nine Great Dragon Kings' Origins are rejecting you?"
"Not really, but if I try to force a fusion, these ten Origins might fuse with you prematurely, and your current physical strength isn't capable of withstanding a simultaneous fusion with us."
Luo Yu asked:
"Can't we just fuse one by one, why does it need to be all at once?"
"You think I didn't consider that? But my presence would trigger those ten Origins to fuse with you ahead of schedule."
"So kid, it's not my fault, it's on you."
Luo Yu shrugged.
"So that means I'm destined not to fuse with the planar power of Soul Land?"
"Destined not to fuse, my ass. We're currently in a semi-fused state, and we can't separate. If you die, my consciousness will completely dissipate."
"Out of fear of triggering the premature fusion of those Origins in you and killing you, I can only return the planar power inside you back to Soul Land first."
Luo Yu's eyes brightened.
"So, if I solve the issue with my body's strength, we can fuse together?"
"Correct, but it's difficult. How are you going to toughen yourself up so your body can withstand the pressure of fusing with the planar power and the ten great Origin Powers at the same time?"
"That's not urgent; if I need to fight again, I can still borrow the planar power, right?"
"Of course, you can. You're already considered half a plane master of Soul Land."
