Chapter 314: Approaching Advancement, Jerry Prepares to Act

As Oscar stepped forward, the new space unfolded like a gradually opening scroll, revealing its full appearance.

The first thing that caught the eye was a spacious and bright living room, decorated in a modern and elegant style.

Tang San was sitting on a soft sofa, holding a Mobile Phone in his hand, his fingertips sliding lightly across the screen as if he were browsing some important information.

This underground space had been cleverly crafted by Oscar into a comfortable residence with three bedrooms and one living room, full of the atmosphere of daily life.

Each room had a distinct function and was spacious and comfortable, enough to make one forget they were underground.

In the subtle details—the paintings on the walls, the patterns of the carpets, and the placement of the furniture—one could feel Oscar's refined taste and endless creativity.

This underground space was not just a hiding place, but a manifestation of a lifestyle.

It proved that even underground, one could possess world-class quality of life.

Every detail made one feel the warmth and comfort of home.

Because it was located underground, Oscar had renovated this space many times; at first, it always felt oppressive and dull, making it difficult to live in comfortably even as a hiding place.

However, Oscar did not give up because of this; he spent a large sum of money to cleverly hire professionals for the design.

The final result of the renovation was astonishing; every detail was just right, making it hard to imagine that this was actually underground.

Walking into this space, one would be attracted by its spaciousness, brightness, and comfort, as if being in a high-end residence above ground.

If one did not know in advance that this was underground, one would instinctively think this was on the surface.

Oscar had not yet chosen to live in the underground space, but Tang San had already moved in first.

The Spirit Hall did very little development underground, focusing mainly on surface construction, followed by construction in the sky.

This also allowed Oscar to see a loophole, and he began to open up underground spaces beneath many properties.

The place where Tang San was hiding this time was just one of them; there were several others, only they were not as luxurious and comfortable as this one.

Seeing Oscar walk into the room, Tang San immediately put down the Mobile Phone in his hand, a trace of doubt appearing in his eyes. It was not their agreed-upon meeting time; why would Oscar appear at this moment?

"Oscar, coming over at this time, is there something the matter?" Tang San asked suspiciously.

Oscar's expression was serious as he said, "Tang San, I came over so late because I wanted to notify you of one thing: Ma Hongjun and I are being monitored by people from the Spirit Hall."

Tang San looked at Oscar in shock, his mouth slightly agape, seemingly unable to believe it. That he and Ma Hongjun were being monitored made him feel a sense of unease.

"The reason why Ma Hongjun and I are being monitored likely has a lot to do with you appearing before Zhu Zhuqing."

"I suspect there are two purposes, but regardless of which one it is, I cannot meet with you in the near future, nor can I meet with Yu Xiaogang and Dugu Yan," Oscar continued.

"I will go and notify those two later; everyone should not meet for the time being."

Tang San nodded; he knew they had to be careful and cautious and could not let themselves be exposed to the gaze of the Spirit Hall.

"Besides monitoring Ma Hongjun and me, many changes have occurred in Wuhun City recently, and these changes make me feel very strange."

"The number of tourists coming to Wuhun City has increased significantly recently. I don't know if there are people monitoring us among them, so everyone should not meet for now to prevent exposure."

Oscar explained cautiously to Tang San.

"Alright, I understand. You and Ma Hongjun must also be extra careful! The Spirit Hall is not to be underestimated. Although I was exposed this time, Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke were also exposed—two god-level powerhouses! It seems the Spirit Hall is truly hiding deep!"

During this period, Tang San had been recuperating while pondering deeply; the news transmitted from the God Realm had caused him deep confusion.

Only by passing a God Trial and inheriting a God Position could one become a true god.

He could not help but wonder, how exactly did Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke become gods?

Had they also undergone God Trials?

These questions made Tang San feel irritable and trapped in deep thought.

Moreover, Tang San discovered that after his second World Advancement, he could no longer actively contact the God Realm and could only wait for the God Realm to initiate contact.

But the God Realm had not contacted them at all, a situation that made him feel confused and uneasy because he had too many questions that needed verification from the God Realm.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Tang San's mind, causing his heart to jolt.

Assuming the God Realm had not lied to him, then perhaps there existed another method within the Spirit Hall to break through and become a god, and this method did not require participating in a God Trial.

This thought made Tang San feel confused and conflicted.

Tang San sighed deeply, wanting to cast this thought out of his mind, but he knew this idea had already taken deep root in his heart and could not be shaken off.

If there were such a method, then there would likely be more than just Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke who had become gods within the Spirit Hall.

If more people had become gods, then how could the five of them possibly resist?

However, Tang San quickly dismissed this thought. He understood that becoming a god was by no means an easy task; if it were truly that easy, the Spirit Hall would have already unified the continent directly, so why leave the Two Great Empires?

But Tang San had to guard against the existence of other gods within the Spirit Hall. Therefore, he warned Oscar to act carefully and to remain vigilant at all times while being monitored.

If an accident occurred, do not fight back; flee immediately and preserve yourself first.

Oscar was also a cautious person and understood what Tang San meant.

After saying goodbye to Tang San, he left immediately and quietly went to notify Yu Xiaogang and Dugu Yan.

After finishing the notifications, Oscar returned to his residence by the same route.

Throughout the entire process, the two Spirit Hall Elders monitoring outside did not notice anything at all.

The next day, Oscar and Ma Hongjun continued their normal work.

The Ghost Leopard Elder and the Magic Bear Elder monitored them for a month like this, yet they did not discover any abnormal situations, and gradually they began to feel that such monitoring was meaningless.

But forced by the Great Elder's orders, they had to continue monitoring.

Time flew by; from the war in the Bala Kingdom to its end, it took more than two years, and it was only three months away from the complete World Advancement.

As for Jerry, he had been practicing Cultivation in the Star Dou Great Forest all along.

Over these past few years, the main direction of Jerry's Cultivation had been divine sense.

His divine sense had reached 4.4 million from the original 2.8 million.

His God Body was still at the peak of the Third Layer; Jerry felt that there must be a next layer for the God Body, but he had never found a direction for a breakthrough, so he remained stuck at this level.

During these past few years, the Fairy Queen and the Elf Queen had exhausted all their efforts, finally causing the Life Tree to recover its original Origin.

Nowadays, the Life Tree only needed one year to gestate an Elf, and it consumed very little energy each time.

For the Life Tree, this would cause almost no damage at all.

In just one month, the Life Tree would be able to fully recover and radiate with renewed vitality.

This good news made the Elf Queen ecstatic; she and the Fairy Queen embraced tightly, their eyes brimming with tears of excitement.

This was simply tremendous news for the Elf Clan!

The recovery of the Life Tree not only solved the population problem but also fundamentally extended the lives of the elves.

Every newly born elf possessed exceptional talent and an extremely fast Cultivation speed, all of which made the Elf Queen feel immensely gratified.

Especially after contracting with the fairies, the Cultivation speed of these newborn elves had already surpassed that of humans, which would undoubtedly make them even more outstanding on their future paths.

Jerry counted the time every day; the closer it got to the World Advancement, the more pressure Jerry felt.

A bad premonition had been lingering in Jerry's heart.

Once, Jerry firmly believed that before the World Advancement, he could reach a higher realm through Cultivation; however, reality told him that apart from his Spirit Power having improved, other aspects seemed to have stagnated, making it difficult to break through.

He felt that on the path to comprehending the World Rule, he was like someone restricted by invisible shackles, moving forward with difficulty, as if he could touch that boundary within reach at any moment, yet he could never cross it.

However, the bell for the World Advancement had already tolled, and with less than three months remaining, the urgent tolling urged Jerry that he must act.

He flew directly across the void and descended upon the Second Planet.

Years had passed, and this planet had completely changed; green vegetation covered the entire planet like a velvet carpet.

Although temperature differences still existed, all of this was enough for living beings to live and work in peace and contentment.

Although the soul power concentration of this planet could not yet compare to the Douluo Planet, time was pressing, and Jerry could only begin his actions at this time.

Jerry stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest and summoned the Fairy Clan, the Elf Clan, the subordinates of the Silver Dragon King, and the Soul Beasts with whom he was on friendly terms.

Their arrival was like a hundred birds returning to their nests and ten thousand beasts running together; the entire forest was shaken by it.

At the same time, the eight great regional leaders of the Star Dou Great Forest also descended quietly; they did not transform and maintained their original forms.

They stood in the forest like eight high mountains; their arrival brought fear and respect from the Soul Beasts deep in the forest.

All the Soul Beasts and Demon Beasts gathered in the Core Area like a sea, surging and undulating.

Jerry stood in the center, like a reef in the sea, stable and firm.

His gaze was like a torch, looking straight ahead, and he set up a transparent barrier—a line of defense to resist the World Consciousness.

Although the World Consciousness claimed to be in deep sleep most of the time, its existence still made Jerry have to be vigilant about whether it had any backup plans or was monitoring Jerry at all times.

After setting up the barrier, Jerry announced his plan to all the Soul Beasts and Demon Beasts: relocation.

He did not explain the reason in detail, only promising to find them a better place to survive, a paradise that could compare to the Douluo Continent.

Hearing this news, the Soul Beasts below discussed it one after another, exchanging doubts and expectations with each other.

As for the Demon Beasts, they were as quiet as water; they silently watched Jerry, watching the Fairy Queen, the Elf Queen, and the Silver Dragon King behind him—their bosses had already chosen to follow Jerry, so what else did they have to say?

The eight regional leaders discussed it and decided to notify all the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts, letting them decide their own future direction.

Then, they each returned to their own territories, preparing to convey this news to the Soul Beasts in every region.

As for Jerry, he began to arrange for the Fairy Clan and the Elf Clan to depart first; these two races had a huge influence on environmental changes.

Regarding the Life Tree, Jerry frowned; this task was a bit tricky, as he couldn't just cut down the Life Tree and replant it on the Second Planet.

He pondered, and suddenly remembered to discuss it with the Elf Queen. The Elf Queen saw Jerry troubled by the Life Tree and couldn't help but laugh.

"Jerry, it seems your understanding of the Life Tree still needs improvement," the Elf Queen said with a smile.

"The Life Tree is not immovable; it's just that in ancient times, people believed that the Elf Clan and the Life Tree were inseparable, and that elves could not live without the Life Tree."

"But this statement is actually inaccurate. The Life Tree is only immovable during the period when it is gestating elves; this secret has never been spread, so the world does not know it."

"And there is the issue of the Life Water. Look at the Life Lake now; isn't the life energy inside richer than before?"

"Actually, the Life Tree produces Life Water every once in a while, or when it absorbs too much energy, it converts it into Life Water and discharges it from its body."

"When the Origin of the Life Tree is missing, it will absorb this Life Water to repair itself. Although the speed is slightly slower compared to Infusion, this was the only way for the Life Tree to recover in the past."

"As the Elf Queen gestated by the Life Tree, I can communicate simply with the Life Tree."

"Counting the time, there is one more day until the next elf finishes gestation; I can communicate with the Life Tree and have it pause for a moment."

"Then during this period, I can control the Life Tree, and if we want to move its position, it will become easy."

The Elf Queen explained carefully to Jerry, and Jerry had a sudden realization after hearing it; after all, he didn't want to give up the Life Tree.

The function of the Life Tree was very powerful; ever since the Life Tree revived, the surrounding Life Rule gradually appeared, directly changing the environment of the entire Core Area.

There was one detail that the observant Jerry noticed: the growth speed of the creatures around the Life Tree had become faster.

Before, everyone thought this was the result of the Fairy Clan's influence, but the growth of nearby animal-type Soul Beasts had also become faster, and this was not something the Fairy Clan alone could achieve.

This acceleration phenomenon only appeared when the energy of the Life Tree was excessive.

Because Jerry had been continuously performing Infusion of energy, it led to a lot of energy overflow, but after the transformation of the Life Tree, this energy turned into a new kind of energy, accelerating the growth of all living beings.

This new energy reminded Jerry of the function of an Auspicious Beast. Although there were still many years until the birth of an Auspicious Beast, the entire Star Dou Great Forest had been turned upside down, and no trace of an Auspicious Beast could be found.

The birth of an Auspicious Beast was not an easy task, but the Life Tree possessed functions like an Auspicious Beast, so Jerry would certainly not give it up easily.

Now that the Life Tree could be moved, it was easy to solve.

Afterward, Jerry formulated a detailed relocation plan; the Fairy Clan and the Elf Clan would go first, and then they would begin building the Second Planet.

Because the Fairy Clan had Bloodline Inheritance, their Spirit Power had all been cultivated to a very high level, and they were numerous in number; coupled with the Elf Clan contracted with them, the speed of building the Second Planet would undoubtedly become very fast.

Many things were much easier to accomplish using Spirit Control than by other means.

Jerry directly organized all the construction-related data and added it to the Bloodline Inheritance; instantly, all the elves received this data and began to look through it one after another.

Having the construction data from Wuhun City for so many years provided the Fairy Clan with a lot of experience, and with the Fairy Clan's learning ability, it would not take long to learn this data.

When the time came, they would use this experience to directly build a more beautiful home on the Second Planet.
