Mechas are out

As the Water Dragon King who wields immense power over all things water, Neuvillette possesses a terrifyingly acute sensitivity to both water and life itself!

The vastness of the universe is hardly a concern for him.

Water is the source of life, and life energy signifies the presence of life. Combining these two factors indicates that a planet contains life.

Using this method, it becomes relatively easy to find habitable planets.

In the context of "Douluo Dalu 4," one thing was confirmed: aside from the Douluo Continent, there are indeed many other planets suitable for habitation.

By that time, many humans had already left Douluo Star, and Douluo Star itself had been taken over by Shrek Academy.

Neuvillette flew with a purpose, and in the vastness of the universe, it's truly difficult to keep track of the passage of time. Even he didn't know how long he had been flying.

After leaving Douluo Star, the first life-bearing planet he found not only had intelligent beings but also possessed a civilization!

It was inhabited by a race of elves with pointed ears and delicate, graceful features, who were the rulers of the planet.

If Neuvillette remembered correctly, one of the androgynous elves from Shrek in "Douluo Dalu 4" had their "homeland" on this very planet.

After observing this elven planet for a while, Neuvillette turned and left.

This was a "wise planet." Although suitable for human and soul beast habitation, his sense of justice wouldn't allow him to occupy such a land.

If soul beasts were migrated here, it would spell disaster for these elves!

Finding a habitable planet wasn't difficult, but finding a planet without intelligent life that was suitable for habitation was exceedingly challenging.

Neuvillette didn't know how much time had passed before he found a second habitable planet.

However, to his disappointment, this planet was also a "highly intelligent" one.

The inhabitants turned out to be "dragon race"!

Not lingering long, he turned and left again.

While Neuvillette was searching for a planet, a full-scale war broke out on Douluo Continent!

Countless soul masters fought valiantly, and even the nobles personally joined the battle.

Their ancestors had earned their honor by defending against soul beasts, allowing the current generation to enjoy their privileges.

Though these modern nobles might usually be less than honorable, they would never abandon the glory of their ancestors.

Humans and soul beasts of this era were vastly different from those ten thousand or even twenty thousand years later.

In this era, soul beasts held absolute power! Their combined strength far exceeded that of humans.

If it weren't for the emergence of three gods—Poseidon, Rakshasa, and Angel—there would have been even more powerful soul beasts!

The ascension of Tang San and Huo Yuhao to godhood was the final straw that broke the back of the soul beasts.

Each time a god appeared, it was a catastrophe for the powerful soul beasts.

Of course, the soul beasts seemed more numerous and terrifying, but the sheer number of humans was something that even the soul beasts couldn't match.

Tens of thousands of soul beasts might face hundreds of thousands of human soldiers, which is why humanity managed to hold on.

"Please, Spirit Arena, you must help!"

"This is a matter of life and death for humanity!"

"You ignore internal conflicts, but this isn't just an internal conflict!"

Such pleas frequently echoed outside the Spirit Arena, causing those inside to wear expressions of agony.

Even the reclusive clans, like the Haotian Sect, had all its disciples leave seclusion.

The reclusive hermits, who usually remained detached from worldly affairs, also came forth.

A month into the war, the Spirit Arena had done nothing, leaving everyone to wonder what to make of it.

At this moment, in the council chamber, nine individuals sat together, their expressions grim.

The Spirit Arena had never concerned itself with the affairs of Douluo Continent, caring neither about who won nor who lost.

Now, the entire Douluo Continent was at war, with the fiercest battles between Spirit Hall and in the Extreme North!

If not for the intervention of a few reclusive experts, the Extreme North would have already fallen.

"So, what does Little Neuvillette's wife say?"

After a long silence, Moffett finally spoke up.

If it weren't for him forcefully suppressing his impulses, he would have already intervened personally.

"Let them fight a while longer."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"But how long is 'a while'? If this continues, the entire soul master system might be wiped out!"

Not only were soul masters suffering heavy casualties, but the soul beasts were as well.

If no one steps in to end this battle, the soul master system might truly be destroyed.

Wait a minute, the soul master system destroyed?

Everyone froze. No, it can't be, right?

It shouldn't be as they were imagining, right?

They swallowed hard, finding it difficult to believe.

They had already learned that the soul beasts' goal was to eradicate the soul masters completely!

Of course, the soul masters wouldn't sit back and wait for death; it was a back-and-forth struggle...

But without soul beasts, even if they won, the soul master system would be finished.

If Neuvillette and Focalors' thoughts aligned with those of the soul beast kings, then the purpose might very well be to destroy an entire cultivation system!

After a long silence, Lexius finally spoke, "This can't go on. I'll go and ask..."

"Old man, there's no need."

Suddenly, Focalors' voice rang out, causing everyone to shudder.

"Granddaughter-in-law."

"Two months should be enough time."

"You all... should step in now."

In the end, Focalors couldn't bear to see the suffering in the world. Over these two months, who knows how many lives had been lost.

Although they weren't her people, she couldn't help but feel a heavy weight in her heart.

"Dear, the 'a while' you mentioned, you meant two months, didn't you?"

Focalors stood on the rooftop, looking up at the sky and murmured.

In the two months he had been gone, she had been lovesick.

For a being with the infinite lifespan of a Archon, two months might be just a blink of an eye in their life, but it was enough to make her feel uneasy.

"Is this the poison and pain of love?"

To find Neuvillette, all she needed to do was activate the bracelet on her wrist, and she could be by his side.

But this bracelet was the "key" to Neuvillette's return, and she couldn't use it lightly.

Besides, she still needed to take care of Neuvillette's family, who were now also her family.

Suddenly, as if something had occurred to her, Focalors spoke again, "Use the guardian mechas. If they break, we can always repair them."

'But if you were to die, Neuvillette and I would be heartbroken for a long time.'

She didn't say this last part aloud.

Hearing this, Lexius and the others were taken aback, then they suddenly understood.

The guardian mechas weren't just simple protectors!

If used on a large scale, they would be war machines!

As it so happened, the spirit arena currently had a large stockpile of guardian mechas.

When the news that the spirit arena was preparing to take action spread, the entire Douluo Continent erupted in excitement!

No one had expected that the spirit arena would actually be willing to step in!

When large numbers of guardian mechas appeared on the battlefield, both humans and soul beasts were dumbfounded.

Of course, there were still many soul masters who recognized these machines.

They recalled the scene where two Titled Douluo had shivered in fear on the arena stage because of these guardian machines.
