Chapter 20: The Immortal Ship of Luofu Revealed!
When these words appeared clearly on the sky.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Everyone on the continent was stunned.
The battlefield at Jialing Pass was deathly silent; even the neighing of warhorses had disappeared.
People stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with confusion and astonishment.
"Luofu Immortal Ship?"
"What kind of force is this?"
Countless questions arose in people's minds.
These four words are completely unfamiliar to the people of Douluo Continent.
I've never heard of it before.
There is no record of it even in ancient books.
It is neither a sect, nor an empire, nor a gathering place for soul beasts.
Immortal Ship?
Is that a ship?
Why should a single ship be ranked first on the power list?
Why are they suppressing the Star Dou Great Forest and the Spirit Empire?
The top of Jialing Pass.
The golden light shone on Bibi Dong's elegant and noble face, but it revealed not a trace of joy.
She stared intently at the four large characters in the sky.
"Number one on the power ranking, Luofu Immortal Ship?"
Bibi Dong frowned, her fingers tightening slightly as she gripped the scepter.
"What kind of force is this that can rank first?"
Even when the Star Dou Great Forest ranked second and exposed a terrifying existence like the Silver Dragon King, she only felt troubled, not as bewildered as she is now.
The unknown is the greatest fear.
Even in the Spirit Hall's inherited memories, there is no trace of this name.
Standing next to her, Qian Renxue also looked dazed.
Her golden eyes were filled with astonishment, and she unconsciously muttered:
"Luofu Immortal Ship... Luofu Immortal Ship..."
These four words seemed to possess some kind of magic, making her want to dissect them and see through their essence.
Bibi Dong turned her head to look at her daughter beside her.
"Xue'er, have you ever seen this name in the records of the Angel lineage?"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.
She shook her head, her voice trembling slightly.
"No."
"Never heard of it."
As inheritors of the Angel God, the Qian family has stood firm on the Douluo Continent for 20,000 years.
Since their ancestor Qian Daoliu achieved the position of angel god 20,000 years ago, the Qian family's library has recorded all the major and minor events that have occurred on the continent.
Whether it's the rise and fall of empires, the rise and fall of reclusive sects, or even the unusual events in the world of soul beasts, there are always clues to be found.
"Not even a single word, not even a rumor or hearsay."
Qian Renxue said with certainty.
"In the more than 20,000 years of history, the four words 'Luofu Immortal Ship' seem to have appeared out of thin air and do not exist in our world at all."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.
"What?!"
They didn't even know about the angel family that has been around for 20,000 years?
How is that possible!
How could a behemoth capable of overwhelming the Star Dou Great Forest and surpassing a force with several god-level inheritors possibly leave no trace in history?
Unless...
Bibi Dong looked at the sky, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in her eyes.
"What kind of force is this Luofu Immortal Ship? It's so mysterious!"
...
Star Dou Great Forest, Core Area, Lake of Life.
The initial resentment at being ranked second was now completely replaced by shock.
Gu Yuena stood by the lake, her silver hair fluttering in the wind.
Her once majestic purple eyes were now filled with confusion.
"Number one on the power ranking, Luofu Immortal Ship?"
Gu Yuena repeated softly.
Behind her, a group of ferocious beasts looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion King blinked her bright, lively eyes, tilted her head and pondered for a long time before finally shaking her head helplessly.
"I have lived for thousands of years and have never heard of it."
"This Luofu Immortal Ship is no ordinary vessel. It must hold some great secret to be ranked ahead of the Master."
Brigitte, dressed in a long emerald green dress, also looked bewildered.
She is the Emerald Swan, the kindest of all, and she loves to hear all sorts of stories from the continent.
"I have lived for more than 500,000 years, saved countless soul beasts and humans, and heard countless legends."
Brigitte said with a wry smile.
"But I have never heard of it, or even known that such a force exists."
The Beast God Di Tian, standing at the very front, also had a furrowed brow.
"Yes, I've never heard of it."
"We ferocious beasts have lived for hundreds of thousands of years and witnessed the changes of the world."
"Even a place like Seagod Island, we know it inside and out."
Di Tian turned around and looked at Gu Yuena, his tone filled with a hint of hope.
"My lord, have you heard of this?"
"You have inherited the memories of the Dragon God, memories that existed since the beginning of time, perhaps..."
All the soul beasts' eyes were focused on Gu Yuena.
That was their last hope.
If it's something even the Lord doesn't know about, then that's far too terrifying.
However, under the expectant gazes of the beasts, Gu Yuena slowly shook her head.
"I've never heard of it either."
These words struck like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of all the beasts.
"What? Even the Lord doesn't know?"
The Red King couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Our lord is the Silver Dragon King, half the body of the Dragon God. There is probably no creature on this continent that can live longer or know more than our lord!"
"And how could the Lord not know that she possessed the Dragon God's memories?"
The Titan Giant Ape's withered old face was filled with horror.
"Doesn't that mean... even the Dragon God of yesteryear might not have known of this power's existence?!"
The soul beasts were utterly shocked.
A force unknown even to the Dragon God is now ranked number one on the Gold List.
This is completely beyond their comprehension.
Gu Yuena looked at the sky, her pretty face filled with disbelief.
Because she possessed the memories of the Dragon God, and because she stood at a high enough level, she understood even more the significance of it.
If this force ever existed on the Douluo Continent, even for just a moment, it would be impossible for the Dragon God to have no trace of it.
"Just what kind of power is this Luofu Immortal Ship that it can be ranked first?"
"Could there really be such a colossal creature that we are completely unable to perceive?"
An unprecedented sense of crisis rose in Gu Yuena's heart.
If such a powerful force is truly hidden on the continent, her plan for the revival of soul beasts will likely face countless unforeseen changes.
...
Outside Jialing Pass, the main camp of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Inside the command tent, the atmosphere was originally quite lively.
The Shrek Seven Devils gathered together, discussing the upcoming all-out attack and the honors they had just earned.
However, Yu Xiaogang sat to the side, his brows furrowed, a piece of paper clutched in his hand.
Tang San noticed his teacher's unusual behavior and stepped forward.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
"Everyone seems happy, so why are you looking so gloomy?"
Yu Xiaogang raised his head, handed the letter in his hand to Tang San, and said in a solemn tone.
"Mistress, I just received a strange letter."
