Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

TL: GoldenLung

Touching the long spear, Lan Xuanyu's mind gradually sank in, and unconsciously, the long spear in his hand trembled slightly. In the next moment, Lan Xuanyu's spirit froze, and he was surprised to find that he seemed to have entered another space.

This was a spacious hall, with giant stone pillars on both sides, dozens of meters high, and because of the dim light, he could not even see the dome clearly.

In this hall, there was an intangible feeling of pressure.

Where was this place? Lan Xuanyu subconsciously looked around, and just then, a familiar voice sounded, "Xuanyu, when you come here, it must be the moment when you seriously feel the Golden Dragon Spear. Giving you the Golden Dragon Spear is not actually for it to become your weapon, the Heavenly Saint Abyssal Halberd is much stronger than the Golden Dragon Spear and is an extremely rare divine weapon."

The sound belonged to Mister Le and Tang Wulin. Upon hearing his voice, Lan Xuanyu immediately felt relieved.

"For us soul masters, during battles, we rely more on our own martial souls. With the development of the soul master world, it has evolved from the cold weapon era of your grandfather's generation to the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire under the collision of 2 continents, bringing about soul tools. Then, we developed mechas and battle armor ten thousand years ago. The times are always changing, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the foundation of soul masters, which still belongs to our own strength."

"My memories are gradually coming back. Although I still can't remember everything from the past, I have remembered many important things."

In the past, I was unwilling to recall, perhaps because everything in the past was too painful. At that time, your mother and I were in two different camps, she represented the interests of soul beasts and was the true Soul Beast King. The soul beasts were on the brink of extinction under the oppression of us humans. This was a struggle between two races. Your mother, because she loved me, chose to die rather than harm me in the end. At that time, although we were the strongest beings at the time, we still could not change the problem of the two opposing races. Before we left, I left a message for my companions, hoping that they could let the soul beasts and humans coexist peacefully in the future.

The ending of that era was a tragedy, with my and your mother's tragedy as the ending. At that time, we didn't know that she already had you. If we had known, we would never have let you suffer even a little bit, even if it meant betraying the whole world. And now, as I gradually recover my memory and discover our true relationship, I don't even have the qualification to say "I love you" to you. We made you suffer for ten thousand years. I'm really sorry.”

Upon hearing this, Lan Xuanyu's eyes were gradually turning red. In fact, he had never hated Teacher Nana and his Uncle Le. Over the years, they had always been with him, helping him to grow up. Even though they didn't know their blood relationship, they still came together unconsciously under the pull of blood ties. At this moment, listening to Uncle Le's words, he finally understood why he had only said a few brief words and left when he met himself that day.

"Your mother fell into a star to save you. As parents, that was what we should do. If it were me at the time, I would have made the same choice. After I came back, I chose to go into seclusion because there were some issues with my breakthrough. The bloodline of the Golden Dragon King has problems. The Golden Dragon King not only inherited the power and physical strength of the Dragon God but also inherited the Dragon God's evil thoughts and violent aura. This is something you must pay attention to in the future."

"The Divine Realm truly exists, and I can tell you for sure that your grandfather was the founder of the Tang Sect, the strongest powerhouse on the continent 30,000 years ago, and the king of the Divine Realm, the Sea God Tang San. The disappearance of the Divine Realm was due to a catastrophe between universes. The Divine Realm was swept away by space time turbulence and its whereabouts are unknown. But I can sense that your grandfather and the others must still be alive. One day, they will come back."

"It was during that divine calamity, that the half-sealed Dragon God and Golden Dragon King escaped. Although it was killed by your grandfather, it injected all its essence into my body when I was just born, intending to destroy me and cause pain to your grandfather and grandmother. Helpless, your grandfather placed eighteen seals inside me to prevent me from absorbing too much of the immortal energy and to prevent the essence of the Golden Dragon King from being stimulated. Before the Divine Realm was swept away, he left me in the Douluo Continent. This is how I came to be and grew up on the continent.

It can be said that the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King was the core that helped me achieve my current strength, but it has also always been my biggest problem that troubled and bound me. Back then, when I was frozen with your mother, my bloodline had already broken through sixteen seals, giving me such power. This time, in order to save your mother, coupled with accumulated power over ten thousand years, I broke through the seventeenth seal. The Golden Dragon King's will has awakened again, contending for control of my body. Fortunately, thanks to you, my heart remained steadfast. I went into seclusion to better suppress it, to seal it at the eighteenth level and strengthen the seal. Before your grandfather returns, I will ensure that this seal is not broken. Otherwise, when the soul of the Golden Dragon King is completely released, I may lose control completely.

I really wanted to be with you all the time, to watch you grow up. But now, my own problems have become too serious, and I can’t let them affect you. During your cultivation, you must remember to keep your Golden Dragon King Bloodline and Silver Dragon King Bloodline balanced. I fully understand your situation now. The Dragon God Core is in your mother's possession. When she wakes up, she will give you the Dragon God Core. When your future cultivation reaches its peak, it may be possible to revive the true Dragon God. I hope you can do what your mother and I couldn't. And the Dragon God you revive must be a presence that rejects violence and only holds benevolent thoughts. This is our greatest hope. And at that time, perhaps you could also help me solve my own problems.

In front of you, I couldn't even say all these words. Because deep down inside, I was afraid. I didn't know how you would perceive us. But I really wanted to tell you that when I found out you were my child, I wished I could give you my entire life to make up for all the years of debt we owed you. I'm sorry, son, really sorry. But I couldn't help it, I still want to say one thing to you, on behalf of your mother and me, we love you."

Tears flowed uncontrollably down Tang Wulin's face, and Lan Xuanyu could clearly feel the deep emotions in his voice.

He himself was born from an egg, and his parents had chosen to commit suicide and freeze themselves forever. It took who knows how many years for him to be born, and as the ice melted, they were separated.

It was precisely because of the immense emotional pain they had experienced in the past that they selectively chose to forget and lost their memories when they woke up. But in fact, they did not abandon themselves.

"I have never truly hated you guys, never. With you guys around, I only had happiness and joy," murmured Lan Xuanyu, tears streaming down his face.

Tang Wulin seemed to let out a sigh of relief, "It feels good to say it out loud. Although I don't know if you can accept it. But, child, you have to learn to be strong. To be honest, compared to me, you are still fortunate. Until now, I have not seen your grandparents. I have also been missing my dad and mom."
