Chapter 479 Healing the Lord of the Plane
"Who is that person?"
"He looks somewhat familiar."
"It's a familiar style of boxing, but I can't quite place what it is."
The High Priest Tang San, who had been sent flying by a punch, looked at the weathered middle-aged man with a puzzled expression.
Suddenly, someone recognized him:
"Wang Sheng, it's Wang Sheng!"
"Senior Brother Wang Sheng... It's been ten thousand years! How have you become so weathered?"
"Wang Sheng, he's still alive?! He's not dead!"
"What?! That's Ancestor Wang Sheng? Our guardian ancestor of Douluo Continent, Ancestor Wang Sheng!"
Soon, Wang Sheng's name spread.
The crowd, who were originally looking forward to the second day of the God Battle Tournament's divine showdown, were all incredibly excited because of this weathered man named Wang Sheng.
For Shrek Academy and the Soul Masters and commoners of Douluo Continent, the name Wang Sheng represents so much.
If we were to choose the most virtuous and respected disciple among Su Ran's many disciples, it wouldn't be Senior Sister Ning Rongrong, who decisively defeated the Beast God Bear Lord yesterday, nor Zhu Zhuqing, who drew with him, nor the upcoming popular contestants—the goddesses of Peach Blossom Spring such as Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Dugu Yan.
He was a man who had disappeared a thousand years ago, whose stature was second only to the Immortal Master Su Ran in the history of Douluo Continent.
And this man is Wang Sheng, the senior disciple of Peach Blossom Academy.
Xiao Xiao, Tang Wutong, and other outstanding new-generation students at the academy didn't know much about Wang Sheng and found him somewhat strange.
Who is Wang Sheng?
Moon was so excited he almost stood up from his wheelchair:
"It is said that the ancestor of the Wang family was of mediocre talent, but he was able to stay in Taoyuan Academy to study by virtue of his extraordinary perseverance and hard work. Even when the students of Taoyuan were ascending to heaven, he made the decision not to ascend to heaven without taking the divine exam and stayed on the mainland to protect the people."
"How could the ancestral King Wang Sheng, revered as the guardian deity by the people of Taoyuan, have become like this?"
At this moment, Wang Sheng was wearing a tattered cloak and his clothes were ragged, as if he hadn't changed them in a long time. His beard was unkempt, and he certainly had a sense of decadence.
Even the goddesses of Peach Blossom Spring couldn't help but approach and call out "Senior Brother Wang Sheng," feeling a pang of sympathy for him.
After exchanging greetings with Su Ran, Wang Sheng smiled and greeted Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu one by one, calling them "Senior Sister".
Su Ran was somewhat surprised, but sensing a familiar aura emanating from Wang Sheng, she finally couldn't help but speak:
"Wang Sheng, did you emerge from the abyss?"
The sense of vicissitude emanating from Wang Sheng was precisely the fluctuation of the abyss's erosion.
Wang Sheng bowed slightly.
"Nothing escapes the teacher's discerning eye. I have disgraced you. I was cultivating in the abyss to curb its spread, but for some reason, a year ago the abyss suddenly collapsed, causing all the surrounding space to crumble. I was swept into the spatial turbulence and only recently managed to escape it and return to Douluo Continent."
Wang Sheng told the truth.
These words immediately drew great surprise from everyone present.
Di Tian and the Red King, in particular, looked at each other in bewilderment.
This... could it be about them collapsing the abyss?
Su Ran didn't dwell on the matter too much, but simply asked:
"How could you have stayed in the abyss for a thousand years?"
"Replying to the teacher."
Wang Sheng respectfully replied:
"Thousands of years ago, all of my senior sisters had become gods, and I had also reached the demigod realm. Because I was protected by Peach Blossom Spring, I was respected by many people and was able to prolong my life. Later, I was guided by a mysterious person and felt a faint abyss fluctuation in the far north."
"It took a tremendous amount of effort, using the divine artifacts of Peach Blossom Spring, to carve out a path and discover the existence of the Abyss Plane."
"At that time, although the Abyss Plane was not yet very powerful, it had the motive to devour the Douluo Plane. So I guarded the boundary between the two planes to stop the spread of the Abyss."
"I don't know how many years have passed, but I have gained the recognition of the Douluo Continent and successfully fused with a portion of the original power of Douluo Star, becoming the plane master of Douluo Star."
"I slowly opened up new spatial paths, guiding the abyss away from Douluo Star."
"However, to my surprise, just when I had almost finished developing the spatial path, the powerful abyss plane suddenly collapsed. Then, as I just mentioned, this unworthy student was swept into the spatial turbulence and barely managed to get out."
After Wang Sheng finished speaking...
Another familiar face couldn't help but come out and pat him on the shoulder:
"Senior brother! You're amazing! You didn't become a god, but you ended up becoming the ruler of a plane?!"
"Boss Xiao."
Upon seeing who it was, Wang Sheng revealed a faint smile. The other party was none other than his junior brother, Xiao Chenyu, who was now also a powerful god.
"However, Senior Brother Wang's condition is not good; there seems to be a lot of residual death and corrosion emanating from his body."
At that moment, Ye Lingling frowned and realized what was wrong with Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng scratched his head and said helplessly:
"Senior sisters, it's all because my strength is too weak. I can't protect myself well against the abyss monsters and the invasion of magic. Over the years, I've developed some death energy."
"But these are all minor flaws. I'm very happy to see my teacher reappear after I come back, and to see the God of War competition between my senior sisters and junior brothers and sisters. This bit of death energy is nothing."
Wang Sheng said casually.
But Ye Lingling shook her head:
"This is no small matter. After a thousand years of corrosion, an ordinary cultivator would have rotted and died long ago. But Senior Brother Wang, your physique is extraordinary. You once used the teacher's immortal herbs to refine your body and bathe in medicinal baths. You also have the supernatural physique to subdue dragons and tigers, so you have been able to withstand it until now without any problems."
"But it has already seriously affected your strength and lifeline. If this continues, Senior Brother Wang, your lifespan will not exceed three hundred years before you die."
Ye Lingling looked at Wang Shengdao intently:
"Senior Brother Wang, after the Battle God Tournament, you must follow my method to cleanse your body, or seek a solution from the teacher."
Su Ran then slowly spoke, her gaze sweeping over the Beast God, the Goddess of Peach Blossom Spring, and Wang Sheng:
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."
"Since Wang Sheng happened to return at this time, and the God of War Tournament was about to begin."
"How about we have each side send out their strongest healers and life force to heal Wang Sheng in this third God of War match?"
"I will set up two life counters. Within a limited time, the side that adds the most lifespan and restores the most health points to Wang Sheng will be considered to have won a point."
What do you think?
Upon hearing this, both the Beast God and the Goddess of Peach Blossom Spring nodded and replied with clasped hands:
"It allows healing deities to participate in the God-Fighting Tournament and also helps our senior brother heal and cleanse his body—a perfect solution! We will obey our master's orders!" (End of Chapter)
