Chapter 1: Lord Rock of Douluo Continent
Chapter 1: Lord Rock of Douluo Continent
"Xiao Li, Xiao Ying, stand up and prepare to awaken your martial spirit. Relax, don't be too nervous."
A kind old man, holding two children, walked to the center of the hexagonal star-shaped magic circle. Various expensive crystals were placed on the ground. Although the decoration of this hall was not luxurious, it had a solemn and even sacred feeling. Sculptures of ancient people with different shapes and temperaments were placed on the walls, and the ceiling was inlaid with gems, arranged in the shape of a swan.
Behind the old man, a group of people stood respectfully, all wearing extremely gorgeous clothes, but no one dared to make a sound. If there were outsiders here, they would definitely recognize that the old man standing in the front wearing a black soul master robe was the dean of the Royal Soul Master Academy, a Soul Douluo-level strongman, but at this moment he stood with his hands down, like a servant, as if waiting for something.
Everyone's eyes, with all kinds of emotions including expectation, jealousy, and hidden hostility, were focused on these two children who looked no more than six years old.
The boy's face had a calmness that didn't belong to his age, and it could even be said that he didn't care about anything. Although he was only six years old, he already had a kind of emperor-like temperament. Although it was the awakening of the martial soul, an important moment that would almost affect the fate of one's life, there was no sign of nervousness or excitement on his face.
On the other side, the old man led a little girl with pigtails. The little girl had a delicate face and was already a real beauty; although it was the most important moment in her life, her face did not show any expectation, but a kind of indifference that did not belong to her age.
Xueli, or Zhongli, stood in the center of the hexagonal magic circle and closed his eyes according to the old man's instructions.
That's right. He is not from this world, but a time traveler.
His real name is "Morax" and he comes from a world called "Teyvat"; in that world, he was once the King of Geo and the founder and guardian of a country called Liyue.
However, Liyue has developed sufficiently to be mature and has entered an era of human rule; he also resigned from the position of Emperor and, together with the immortals who once ruled Liyue, retreated behind the scenes and continued to silently guard the eastern part of the continent of Teyvat.
Until that day comes.
The sky was torn apart; countless terrifying invaders with golden patterns on their bodies descended from the abyss and wreaked havoc on the continent of Teyvat. The disaster brought by these "abundant evil creatures" was even greater than the dark disaster of the past. As the guardian god of Liyue, he once again raised the rainbow spear stained with the blood of the demon god and fought side by side with the guardian gods of other countries.
Unfortunately, this time, he was powerless to save the situation. He only remembered that at the last moment, he and Inazuma's guardian, the powerful warrior, fell into the black hole.
Then he traveled to the Douluo Continent.
That's right. Soon after he arrived here, he recognized where this place was. When he was wandering around in the past, he had read a novel called "Douluo Continent", which was left by the yellow-haired traveler. The content was absurd, and he was just reading it to kill time.
Unexpectedly, he actually traveled to this world? Could it be that the traveler had actually experienced this world?
He didn't particularly care about what kind of martial soul he would have. As the Rock King, he had experienced countless years of existence, and his memory contained countless ways to become stronger. He had dabbled in Liyue's fairy arts, martial arts, and mechanical arts, Mondstadt's alchemy, Inazuma's Yin-Yang arts, and Fontaine's industrial technology.
Moreover, although he no longer had the Heart of God, the essence of his godhead remained unchanged. Theoretically, as long as he had enough faith, it would only be a matter of time before he could regain the power of the Rock God. How could the rules of the soul masters in this world limit the power of "God"?
Under the old emperor's expectant guidance, dots of light golden light floated on the ground; standing in the magic circle, Zhongli had a warm feeling as if his whole body was bathing in a hot spring, which was very comfortable; the elemental power in his body, or the so-called "soul power" in this world, seemed to be inspired by something and became active.
Whether it is soul power or elemental power, if you want to play it, you need a medium. In Teyvat, it is the Eye of God, and in Douluo, it is a kind of existence called "Martial Soul". In this world, there are countless kinds of martial souls, but there are differences between martial souls. Some martial souls are called "wasteful martial souls". Usually after awakening, there is no soul power accompanying them, and they can't practice at all. They can only be ordinary people for their whole lives. Even if they are royals or nobles, once someone awakens a waste martial soul, their status will plummet and they will be looked down upon by others.
Some powerful martial souls are very popular, which determines their extraordinary talents in the future. A powerful martial soul often means a relatively high innate companion soul power, and they will practice faster than others in the future. For example, the swan martial soul inherited by the royal family of the Tiandou Empire is an above-average martial soul, and generally speaking, the average innate soul power is around level five.
As for whether he would really awaken the swan martial spirit passed down from generation to generation?
"Ok?"
A slight look of surprise flashed across the old emperor's face; he felt that two invisible forces were actually beginning to violently devour his soul power. How could such a situation occur after only awakening his martial soul?
"Crack!"
The girl's body suddenly floated up and closed her eyes. She exuded an extremely extraordinary majesty and dignity. The old emperor had an illusion for a moment that he was like a mortal or a minister in front of a god in front of this six-year-old daughter.
Thunderbolts were surrounding the girl at this moment. The pressure made people in the distance look terrified and change color. The girl's light golden pigtails also gradually turned into a deep purple-black color at this moment, moving without wind.
What kind of martial spirit is this? Has such a being ever awakened in the history of the royal family?
"boom!"
A purple thunderbolt struck from the void and was caught in the girl's hand. The luxurious ceiling was actually torn apart by the thunderbolt, revealing the dark cloud-covered sky outside.
The girl held a long naginata in her hand, which was shaped like a horse's tail. The naginata looked natural in the girl's hand, and it was like supreme power that could cut through everything.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the naginata in the girl's left hand, but no one noticed that a flash of purple light also flashed across the girl's chest.
boom!
Another even more terrifying aura also appeared at this moment, diverting everyone's attention.
Under Zhongli's feet, jade sceptres rose up, surrounding him in the middle; a dark golden spear appeared in Zhongli's hand, the golden pattern was deep and heavy, and there was a faint trace of blood on the blade; it seemed that with a casual wave, it could tear the air apart.
However, what was even more shocking was that behind Zhongli, a tall, majestic, blue shadow slowly emerged, wearing a twelve-tasseled crown that no one in this world had ever seen, with an aura that overwhelmed the past, present, and future.
Even Zhongli was caught off guard by this unexpected change.
"Which barbarians disturb my sleep?"
