"Oh, and this is my token," Leng Yaozhu said softly.
She took out an exquisite golden token from her spatial spirit tool and gently handed it to Fang Yang.
"Thank you, Teacher," Fang Yang said solemnly, taking the token with both hands.
"Mm."
Leng Yaozhu nodded with satisfaction, a look of relief in her beautiful eyes. "This token not only represents my identity but also grants you many conveniences within the Spirit Transfer Pagoda."
"If you encounter any difficulties, you can show this token."
Fang Yang carefully put away the token and responded seriously, "Teacher, I understand."
Just then, Fang Yang's spirit tool communicator suddenly rang with a crisp sound.
He paused slightly, looking at Leng Yaozhu with a hint of apology. "Teacher, I..."
"It's fine, answer it."
Leng Yaozhu waved her hand gently, showing no hint of displeasure.
"Alright."
Fang Yang nodded in response, then connected the call.
"Hello, Fang Yang," a familiar and steady voice came from the communicator.
"Senior Liu Yang."
Fang Yang immediately recognized the other party's identity, his tone respectful.
"Mm, are you currently at the Spirit Transfer Pagoda headquarters, specifically the Heaven Spirit Pagoda?" Liu Yang asked directly.
Fang Yang was slightly taken aback by the question but still answered truthfully, "Senior, I am indeed at the Heaven Spirit Pagoda. May I ask why you are looking for me?"
"There are indeed some matters I need to discuss with you."
Liu Yang's voice was steady. "Just come over. I've already given instructions; someone will come to pick you up."
"Alright, Senior, I'll head over now," Fang Yang immediately replied.
"Mm," Liu Yang responded briefly before ending the call.
Fang Yang put away his communicator and turned to report to Leng Yaozhu, "Teacher, Senior Liu Yang has called me over for something."
A flicker of surprise crossed Leng Yaozhu's eyes, then she regained her composure. "If Senior Liu Yang has called you, then go."
"Alright, Teacher."
Fang Yang replied, then looked at Gu Yue beside him, a hint of tenderness in his eyes. "Gu Yue, I'll come back to pick you up later."
"Okay."
Gu Yue nodded upon hearing this, revealing a faint smile.
With that, Fang Yang turned and left through the door.
Gu Yue watched his departing back, a trace of reluctance in her eyes.
"Oh my, Fang Yang just left, and Gu Yue, you're already missing him?" Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but tease, seeing her expression.
"Teacher..."
Gu Yue gently chided, her jade-like earlobes slightly flushed, as she turned her face away to hide her shyness.
"Alright, alright, your teacher won't say any more."
Leng Yaozhu waved her hand with a smile, but her eyes were full of understanding, as if she had long seen through Gu Yue's thoughts.
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yue asked curiously, "Teacher, who exactly is that Senior Liu Yang...?"
"His strength is unfathomable."
Leng Yaozhu's expression immediately became solemn. "After all, he is someone the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's Old Pagoda Master, Qian Guedieting, personally visits."
"His cultivation is so high, and his status so revered, far beyond what an ordinary Limit Douluo can compare to."
"Is that so..."
Gu Yue pondered, not knowing what she was thinking.
...
After leaving Leng Yaozhu's office, Fang Yang walked along the corridor to the other side.
After only a few minutes, he saw a familiar figure.
"Uncle Tao?"
Fang Yang's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw who was waiting.
"Fang Yang, you're here."
Su Tao smiled and stepped forward. "Come with me, Senior Liu Yang is already waiting for you."
"Uncle Tao, I..." Fang Yang was about to speak.
"Alright, let's go in first," Su Tao gestured with a raised hand, his tone gentle but leaving no room for doubt.
"Mm."
Fang Yang nodded at his words and followed Su Tao into the room.
The room's decor was simple and elegant, imbued with a faint scent of books.
"Fang Yang, you're here."
Liu Yang sat in the center of the room, his gaze calmly fixed on Fang Yang.
He gestured for Fang Yang to sit, his movements graceful and natural.
Fang Yang respectfully saluted, "Greetings, Senior Liu Yang."
"No need for formalities."
Liu Yang nodded slightly, his gaze turning to Su Tao. Su Tao nodded in understanding, discreetly stepping aside and simultaneously setting up a barrier.
"Fang Yang, allow me to formally introduce myself. I am the Spirit of the Douluo Plane, the head of the seven consciousnesses, Zi."
Liu Yang said solemnly, "You can call me Liu Yang, or Zi."
"This..."
Fang Yang was momentarily stunned, a flicker of shock in his eyes.
Seeing this, Su Tao couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Fang Yang, let me also formally introduce myself. I am the Spirit of the Douluo Plane, one of the seven consciousnesses, Lan."
Fang Yang fell silent, his mind rapidly processing this astonishing information.
He had once speculated that Liu Yang's identity was extraordinary, but he never expected such a background.
"Seniors, is there something important you wish to tell me today?" After a moment, Fang Yang asked calmly.
Liu Yang's expression became exceptionally solemn. "If I'm not mistaken, you should know about the God Realm, and also Sea God Tang San."
Fang Yang didn't deny it, simply waiting quietly for him to continue.
"Twenty thousand years ago, Tang San was an outsider," Liu Yang's voice was low and powerful.
"Oh?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Yang's eyes; he had originally thought that the Plane Spirits did not understand Tang San's true situation.
"That's right, at that time, I even specifically helped him awaken his Spirit," Su Tao interjected, a touch of reminiscence in his tone.
"This..."
Fang Yang was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond to this unexpected information.
He never imagined that the Plane Spirits not only knew of Tang San's origins but had even personally participated in his growth.
"Tang San was the Son of Luck chosen by the original Plane Spirit."
Liu Yang continued, a deep regret in his voice. "Originally, he was cultivated with the hope that he could lead the Douluo Plane to sublimate and evolve into a God Realm. Unfortunately..."
He sighed. "The God Realm discovered our plan, and they bestowed a God Position upon Tang San. Tang San accepted the God Position and ultimately betrayed the Douluo Plane."
Liu Yang's voice carried an unconcealable heartache. "And that's not all. After Tang San became an enforcer of the God Realm, he secretly interfered with the development of the Douluo Plane."
"He not only firmly controlled Huo Yuhao, our second chosen Son of Luck, but also turned him into an obedient dog."
"Huo Yuhao originally had immense potential, but he was exploited by Tang San and became his pawn."
"Tang San's ambition was not satisfied."
Liu Yang's voice was filled with anger. "For his parents, Tang Hao and the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor,"
"He personally acted, killing the original Plane Spirit and making his father, Tang Hao, the Plane Master."
He slowly closed his eyes, as if recalling that painful past. "The original entity was no match for Sea God Tang San. At the moment of its demise, it split its consciousness into seven parts, secretly hidden within the Douluo World."
"This is the origin of our seven Plane consciousnesses."
