Chrysanthemum Douluo had been stunned from the start of the battle, what kind of level was this fight?
Battles between gods didn't seem much different compared to this, yet neither of these two guys must be gods!
In Lin Yi's view, this was a battle between someone at the pinnacle of a First-level Plane and a person of medium level from a Second-level Plane.
As their skills collided, a dazzling white light flared up in the middle. Chrysanthemum Douluo raised his hand to shield his eyes, standing at a distance yet still feeling the ground trembling beneath him.
Yun Ming and Purgatory Xing Shoulang stood far apart from each other. Yun Ming was on one knee, his Four-Word Battle Armor full of melted, reddish gashes, and multiple wounds on his body made him look exceedingly ragged.
Meanwhile, Xing Shoulang stood in place with a bloody hole in his left chest.
Xing Shoulang's heart had been pierced by Yun Ming's spear!
Since Chrysanthemum Douluo had ordered both, they didn't hold back in their fight due to a lack of personal enmity.
"I've lost, fair and square," Xing Shoulang said, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
But the next moment, the wound on his left chest began to heal rapidly, his body returning to peak condition.
On the other side, Yun Ming too healed, all wounds and even the Four-Word Battle Armor returning to their original state.
As both were puzzled, Lin Yi spoke, "Within this day of resurrection, no one will be injured, nor will anyone die."
Xing Shoulang smiled, "Thanks for clearing that up!"
Yun Ming looked at Lin Yi. He hadn't noticed there was such a person from the beginning, but now on closer inspection, he saw that Lin Yi was the only one sitting, even those he obeyed were standing.
What was going on? Who really held the authority here?
No, Yun Ming glanced at Chrysanthemum Douluo; he remembered Chrysanthemum Douluo mentioning that the ability to make others obey wasn't his, but belonged to another.
And the person who just explained the healing of the injuries was the one sitting, so…
"Finally, we have a winner!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice interrupted Yun Ming's thoughts.
"In that case, you'll help me with the second attack today," he said.
Yun Ming frowned, "What attack?"
…
Divine Realm.
The Life Goddess sat on the roots of the tree, whispering to her swollen belly, "Your mother must have gone to a very distant place, so she can't come back to see you… and you're so big now, why would you still miss your mommy?"
This Little Golden Crocodile hadn't done anything while inside the Life Goddess's belly, but instead, it began to miss its mother, amusing the Life Goddess.
The Life Goddess didn't initially remember the Little Golden Crocodile, but then she recalled the "old child" with more than a hundred years of bone age she was shocked to meet for the first time.
However, after talking to it, she found out that although the Little Golden Crocodile had a high bone age, its mind was entirely that of a five or six-year-old child. But it hadn't forgotten the hardships of over a hundred years, an outrageous juxtaposition of memories on a being with the mind of such a young child.
Hence, the Little Golden Crocodile could only rely on a child's instincts to process those memories.
So, it suddenly missed its mother, whom it hadn't seen for a long time, or rather, its long-deceased mother.
Little Golden Crocodile: "Because it's been a long time, I miss her."
Resting against the Ancient Life Tree and gazing into the distance, the Life Goddess then said, "Little one, if you really miss your mommy, you can call me mommy, and I promise I'll respond to you."
Little Golden Crocodile: "No need."
The Life Goddess couldn't help but laugh, "Why not?"
Little Golden Crocodile: "You should be the sister, Mom should have white hair, wrinkles, and look very old."
Life Goddess: "But I'm many tens of thousands of years older than your mom..."
Upon hearing this, Little Golden Crocodile seemed to fall into thought.
Soon after, he cheerfully called out, "Mommy!"
Life Goddess smiled and said, "Ah!"
She looked down and stroked her belly, her face beaming with smiles.
As it turned out, such a simple exchange could bring such immense joy; at that moment, the Life Goddess truly envied the mortals of the lower realms.
At this time, she turned her head toward a direction, the direction of the Divine Tomb.
In a resplendent hall, the Rakshasa God walked within, she looked up at a number of Golden Light Spheres floating above.
Should any gods die abnormal deaths with their divine souls intact, they would automatically fly to the Divine Tomb, hanging suspended in this glittering hall until they dissipated after a certain period.
The Rakshasa God quickly spotted two newly condensed Golden Light Spheres.
She took a deep breath, looked up, then sat down cross-legged.
"To think that I would have the chance to apologize face to face..."
The Rakshasa God whispered with a smile.
...
Yun Ming finally got a clear picture of the situation.
The so-called selection of the one with the highest damage was to target the sitting boy; when he heard this, it felt as if his world view had shattered to pieces.
However, Chrysanthemum Douluo's orders left no room for Yun Ming to think for himself; what puzzled him even more was that Chrysanthemum Douluo had also explicitly specified which Soul Ring skill to use for the attack, leaving Yun Ming completely baffled throughout the process.
The attack ended.
Watching Yun Ming being knocked back by the damage rebound, Chrysanthemum Douluo pulled at the corner of his mouth, "I forgot to remind you not to let your guard down after attacking."
Lin Yi looked at his panel.
[Health Loss: 486735]
[Remaining Health: 883044091635]
[Damage Level: Red (High Level)]
[Random Reward: Summon mutant marine creatures *5 daily]
[Host Reward: Summon mutant marine creatures *10 daily]
Mutant creatures, this made Lin Yi inexplicably think of Godzilla, which, he mused, must have mutated due to absorbing too much pollution.
Lin Yi opened the annotations to watch for a moment, only then realizing that the setting of this reward was somewhat chilling upon closer thought.
He fell silent for a few seconds, then said to Chrysanthemum Douluo, "Damage 486735, Red Advanced. Your reward is to summon five mutant marine creatures daily."
"The marine creatures here are not the sea soul beasts from Soul Land but the mutant marine creatures from the Blue Planet. One thing that even confuses me is the connection with you; it's actually from the Blue Star Ocean fifty years in the future."
That was the reason Lin Yi had been thinking just now.
He had thought that the summoned mutant marine creatures might be those seen in movies or TV shows, but the reward annotation said it was not from cinematic oceans but from real ones, moreover from the Blue Planet Ocean fifty years in the future, which was quite frightening.
All he could say was that being far from home, there was much Lin Yi didn't know.
Chrysanthemum Douluo murmured, "So you mean that in fifty years, mutant marine creatures will appear in the oceans of Blue Planet. I understand that; Blue Planet is indeed a magical plane, its people seem to be playing around. But Senior Lin Yi, do these mutant marine creatures have any special traits? Only being able to summon five a day is too few, hardly enough for all the big shots here to fight against."
