Chapter 1236 (2/2)
A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. ”That's probably going to be very difficult; the Boundless Ocean Douluo is a very stubborn man.”
Zang Xin nodded in response. ”Indeed, Chen Xinjie is a dogmatic and conceited old fart. Neither of us will be able to convince him, but someone can, and you have to convince that person to go and see Chen Xinjie.”
A puzzled look appeared on Tang Wulin's face. ”Who are you referring to?”
The smile on Zang Xin's eyes widened as he replied, ”I'm naturally referring to his 'deceased' lover. She's the only one who can convince him!”
A series of thoughts flashed through Tang Wulin's mind, and a thought quickly occurred to him, upon which his mouth gaped open in shock. ”You don't mean...”
”The one you're thinking of is exactly the person I'm referring to. As such, you need to make a trip back. I'm sure it won't be a difficult task for you to leave Skysea City despite the city's current state of lockdown. Make sure to get her here as quickly as possible. The Dark Phoenix Douluo is going to be very useful to me, and perhaps I'll have some good news for you when you come back. ”
A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. ”That's a very tall order. Is there no other way?”
Zang Xin shrugged in response. ”Do you think I would've told you something like this if there were an alternative? I have to go into hiding after this. Otherwise, that lover of Chen Xinjie's is going to be out for my blood! Do you think you're the only one facing a lot of pressure? I'm also going to be facing a lot of heat after this!”
”What are you two talking about, Your Majesty? Why can't I understand what you're saying?” Xie Xie looked at Tang Wulin and Zang Xin with an indignant expression. He could understand the story that Zang Xin had told, but after that, the conversation took a completely inexplicable turn to him. Who was this person that Tang Wulin and Zang Xin had been referring to?
Tang Wulin chuckled, ”Do you not have a brain? Think about it; this is someone who's in the same generation as the Boundless Ocean Douluo, and is outstanding enough for mutual attraction to appear between them. She also 'died' recently at the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult, but we know her, and we know that she's still alive. Is that still not enough to clue you in?”
Xie Xie wasn't an idiot, and his jaw also quickly dropped to the ground. ”My G.o.d! No way! Is that really true? This is a secret among secrets! Your Majesty, which one is more powerful between you and her?”
”How about you make this trip in Wulin's stead?” Zang Xin asked with a smile.
Xie Xie hurriedly shook his head vigorously in response. ”No, thanks! I don't have what it takes. Only our Sea G.o.d's Pavilion Master can pull off something like this.”
”Then shut your trap!”
......
Two hours later, Tang Wulin had gotten on a soul train back to Heaven Dou City.
He had disguised himself as a middle-aged man, and he was traveling alone to attract the least attention possible. Even now, he was still stunned by this revelation.
It was undoubtedly the case that Chen Xinjie's love story was a secret of the past, and the story had probably taken place over a century ago. This meant that even though the Boundless Ocean Douluo appeared to be a middle-aged man, he had to be around 200 years old.
It was truly remarkable to think about a love story that had taken place over 100 years ago. What about the Soul Masters of 1,000 years ago or even 10,000 years ago?
Humans had a traceable history of around 30,000 years on the Douluo Continent. This was an extremely lengthy process, and during this time, technology had constantly advanced. As the occupation of Soul Master emerged, people learned to use their innate martial souls to combat the soul beasts, which were the rulers of the continent at the time. Gradually, the power balance s.h.i.+fted, and humans became the masters of this continent. At present, soul beasts were teetering on the precipice of extinction, and the entire Douluo Star was also suffering from resource shortages. During these past 30,000 years, far too many things had happened in the human race.
The most important reason behind the widespread support that the federal military was receiving was that the future they described was a reliable and feasible one.
They were going to obtain more resources, then go into s.p.a.ce exploration to find a new home for the human race. After all, as the resources on the Douluo Star continued to be depleted, even the planar ruler was becoming more feeble. If things were to continue in this fas.h.i.+on, the vitality of the entire planet would most likely be snuffed out eventually.
