Chapter 327: The Descent of the God Realm, the Foolish World Consciousness
A calm day passed; the entire continent seemed to have quieted down today, with no major events occurring, as if it were the silence before a storm.
The Spirit Hall has already notified the people across the entire continent that tomorrow is the day the World Advancement succeeds, so all industries will be closed tomorrow to prepare to welcome the new world.
With less than an hour left until the world successfully advances, Jerry and a group of god-level powerhouses from the Spirit Hall are all on the observation deck, preparing to witness the changes after the world's successful advancement.
"Jerry, after the world successfully advances, what will the continent become like in the future?"
Great Elder Qian Daoliu asked.
"There will be many changes, and one point is very important: after the world successfully advances, the cultivation limit for everyone will be broken, and the cultivation speed for lower realms will become faster in the future."
"After everyone breaks through to the god-level now, aren't you all very confused and unable to find a direction for Cultivation? This is because of the previous world's limit issue, so everyone was restricted. After this successful advancement, everyone will be able to clearly feel their own direction for Cultivation, thereby further improving their strength."
"This is only regarding the aspect of Cultivation; there will be major changes in all other aspects as well. Basically, all industries will enter a stage of high-speed development; these will slowly appear after a period of time following the World Advancement."
Having said this, Jerry did not want to say more. He only spoke of the benefits of the World Advancement and would not tell everyone about the other aspects for now, so as to avoid causing unnecessary panic.
Hearing Jerry speak of the benefits after the successful World Advancement, these Elders began to discuss in low voices, exploring matters after the successful World Advancement, their faces brimming with joy.
Qian Daoliu, however, noticed Jerry's expression. If the World Advancement only had benefits, Jerry should be very happy, but now Jerry was not like that; there was a hint of sorrow in his words.
Qian Daoliu pulled Jerry to the edge of the observation deck and asked in a low voice: "Jerry, after the world advances, there should be some other changes, right? These changes might be very bad, which is why you only spoke of the benefits of a successful advancement just now, but you didn't mention the downsides."
"The Great Elder is indeed discerning; you even noticed this. There will indeed be downsides, but it is only my personal speculation. If there are no changes after the world successfully advances, then my speculation is wrong, so I decided not to tell everyone for now."
Jerry thought to himself that he should not tell the Great Elder yet either; after all, if things were truly as he speculated, the Great Elder and the others would not be able to intervene with their current strength.
An hour passed quickly. Jerry sensed that the gravity of the entire Douluo Planet had directly reached one hundred times its original level. At this moment, above the entire sky of the Douluo Continent, all the Rules suddenly appeared, and the sky was mapped in colorful hues by these manifesting Rules.
The World Advancement succeeded, and all the Rules appeared. Jerry hurriedly sat cross-legged and began to comprehend these Rules.
Seeing Jerry's actions, the others followed suit and began to comprehend their own Rules.
The time for the Rules to appear was not long, about two hours, before they directly faded away. Jerry and the others also woke up at this time.
Jerry's divine sense had been released the entire time. He did not know if it was his imagination, but after the world successfully advanced, the gravity of the entire planet increased, and the planet began to slowly shrink. This process was very slow, the opposite of the rapid expansion during the advancement.
After the successful advancement, the entire planet began to slowly compress, and all the land became more compact.
Sure enough, just as Jerry thought, the world can advance slowly; there is no need for it to be like the Douluo Continent, advancing all at once with the planet's volume exploding, only to start slowly compressing after the advancement succeeds.
If it advanced slowly, the current situation of compression would not happen at all. Jerry has been monitoring the advancement of the Second Planet; it grows a little every day, slowly increasing the size of the planet, and the creatures on the planet do not feel anything.
The only difference between the Second Planet and the Douluo Planet is that there is no world consciousness, and it grows completely naturally.
Jerry still does not understand how world consciousness is born.
Previously, he replicated ten Small Worlds. Except for the replicated Douluo Planet which birthed a world consciousness, the other nine Small Worlds did not birth a world consciousness. The available data was too scarce, which is why Jerry did not figure out why a world consciousness is born.
After a world consciousness is born, it can be said that the growth direction of the entire world will be guided by the world consciousness. If the world consciousness is relatively gentle, it is a good thing for the creatures within the entire world, but conversely, it is a disaster for the creatures within the world.
After the Douluo Planet compressed to a certain extent, the speed of compression began to become slower, but it still caused major impacts on some areas, though fortunately, it was not in city areas, but rather in some mountainous regions.
The compression of the Douluo Planet was only the beginning; Jerry sensed that the space of the entire planet had become more stable.
If space is stable, there are both benefits and downsides. Currently, the downside is more obvious: the power of some spatial soul skills is reduced, and they consume more soul power to use.
Jerry sensed it; when he used Teleportation, the energy consumed became double what it was before.
While Jerry was still sensing, Secret Realms suddenly appeared one after another in the sky. These Secret Realms exploded directly, and then their Origin was absorbed by the Douluo World.
This was the world consciousness taking action; after the advancement, it prepared to absorb all the Secret Realms that had been opened on the Douluo Continent in the past.
Jerry had experienced the world consciousness absorbing Secret Realms before. The current situation was the same as before; the only difference was that the world consciousness moved the Secret Realms directly above Wuhun City, then crushed the Secret Realms in front of everyone, and then absorbed them.
Why did the world consciousness do this? It could have done it quietly. Is this current approach a show of force to me? Jerry could not help but think.
As one Secret Realm after another was crushed and devoured, the Douluo World was also growing rapidly.
Soon, after an unknown number of Secret Realms were crushed and absorbed, no new Secret Realms appeared. Just when everyone thought everything had stopped, a huge Secret Realm appeared, and everyone could clearly see the interior of the Secret Realm.
At this moment, inside the Secret Realm, many people were fully prepared. Among the five people at the very front, Jerry immediately recognized the Sea God and the Asura God; he had seen the statues of the two gods left in the Douluo World.
That made it obvious; this Secret Realm was the God Realm. The world consciousness was preparing to take action against the God Realm.
However, the space of the God Realm was clearly reinforced by special means; the world consciousness was unable to crush the God Realm.
The angry world consciousness directly manifested its energy body and threw a punch directly at the God Realm.
The God Realm could clearly see the situation here as well. Seeing that the world consciousness wanted to crush the God Realm, and the result was that the God Realm did not suffer the slightest bit, they could not help but start mocking the world consciousness.
The God Realm was opened by the Dragon God; even if the world advanced, the current God Realm was still one level higher than the Douluo World, and the World Hub was still in the God Realm. Wanting to crush the God Realm was simply wishful thinking.
Therefore, seeing the world consciousness swing a punch at the God Realm, the gods of the God Realm did not have a trace of panic, as if they were watching a joke.
If there were no accidents, this punch from the world consciousness would not cause any impact on the God Realm at all. Unfortunately, an accident occurred.
The world consciousness punched the barrier between the two worlds, and the spatial barrier supporting the two worlds was instantly smashed into a large hole. The God Realm and the Douluo Continent were directly connected through this large hole.
Although the gods of the God Realm were shocked, they reacted instantly and directly surrounded this large hole.
At this moment, the Asura God waved his hand, and a colorful light orb flew into his hand. When the world consciousness saw this thing, it actually took a step back, not daring to enter the God Realm.
"World consciousness, honestly, you are truly stupid. After your advancement this time, the spatial barrier became thicker; it would take us a lot of effort to open a passage between the two worlds, but you just helped us open it. Honestly, we have to thank you!"
The Asura God, wearing a set of red battle armor, said with a smile.
"Asura God, don't think that just because you hold the World Hub, you can threaten me forever. Sooner or later, I will take the World Hub back."
The world consciousness stared at the Asura God and said viciously.
"World consciousness, besides being able to use Rules, what other skills do you have? The World Hub is in my hands; all your Rule powers are completely vulnerable in front of the World Hub. If you know what's good for you, retreat on your own. After we occupy the Douluo Continent, we will slowly talk it over with you."
Facing the world consciousness, the Asura God was not intimidated at all. Just like back then, he began to mock the world consciousness. Under the mockery of the Asura God, the world consciousness began to fall into madness, throwing various Rule attacks at the Asura God. Unfortunately, the Asura God, holding the World Hub, completely ignored these attacks; all the Rule attacks dissipated directly between heaven and earth when they were a certain distance from the Asura God.
"Stop making useless attacks. Just like back then, these attacks of yours are completely useless. So many years have passed, and you haven't made any progress at all. Hahaha!"
The Asura God laughed out loud, and the gods behind him also began to laugh along.
"Get out of here!"
The Asura God has done a lot of research on the World Hub over these many years and has also researched many methods on how to use the World Hub. Now, he directly began to use the power of the World Hub.
Just as the World Hub flashed with golden light, the world consciousness that was still attacking directly dissipated.
The battle in the sky was seen by the people of the entire continent. Everyone began to panic, and many ordinary people were so scared that they knelt directly on the ground.
Ordinary people, when facing gods, simply cannot muster the heart to resist; this was also something Jerry had expected.
The World Consciousness is truly trash; having just succeeded in World Advancement, it got carried away and moved directly against the God Realm. Now look, the passage between the two worlds has been opened, and the World Consciousness has been directly forced into retreat by the World Hub, leaving behind such a mess.
World Consciousness, you are truly stupid!
"Jerry, help me. I have been restricted by the World Hub and cannot get out now. I didn't expect that after the advancement, I would still be helpless against the World Hub." The World Consciousness suddenly contacted Jerry, requesting Jerry's help.
Hearing the telepathic message from the World Consciousness, Jerry couldn't help but grimace. You are truly stupid; the World Hub is the core of the world. You have advanced, so hasn't the World Hub advanced as well?
You can't even think of this, yet you want to move against the God Realm.
However, now is not the time to scold the World Consciousness. Jerry saw that the God Realm had already begun to organize its troops and could enter the Douluo World through the passage at any time.
Jerry flew out directly and arrived in front of the passage.
"Douluo Continent is not something you parasites of the God Realm can touch. Retreat now, and I can spare you."
Jerry's voice spread directly throughout the entire world. The God Realm side also heard Jerry's voice and turned to look at Jerry on this side of the passage.
"You must be that god who obtained a God Position on Douluo Continent! You have also seen that the World Consciousness is unfriendly to all god-level powerhouses. Join us; we have already found a way to eliminate the World Consciousness. Once the World Consciousness is eliminated, we can control the entire continent together."
Before the God of Asura could speak, the God of Destruction said this, and after finishing, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, making one feel as if this god were very sincere.
The God of Destruction was only winning Jerry over on the surface; in reality, he just wanted to reduce some unnecessary trouble. Their current goal was to quickly occupy Douluo Continent and then eliminate the World Consciousness; in this way, Douluo Continent would be considered completely under their control.
In the past, they did not think highly of Douluo Continent, but in recent years, Douluo Continent had advanced twice in a very short time, and the area of Douluo Continent was incomparable to the God Realm. After occupying Douluo Continent, they would find a way for the world to advance rapidly, let the world advance one more time, and at that time, the overall environment of Douluo Continent would be the same as the God Realm.
They would no longer have to live in the single, boring Small World that is the God Realm, and furthermore, after the world advances, their Cultivation could also reach a higher realm.
When Jerry became a god, they also received the news in the God Realm, and at the same time, they knew that Jerry himself was very powerful, comparable to a God King, so regarding Jerry, their first thought was to win him over.
If they could win Jerry over, it would be of even greater help to their subsequent plans.
"Dealing with the World Consciousness? Are you mistaken? The World Consciousness is born alongside the world. If you want to eliminate the World Consciousness, are you trying to destroy Douluo Continent?"
Jerry suddenly heard the god on the opposite side say they could eliminate the World Consciousness, and he couldn't help but become curious, so he prepared to chat first to see if he could trick the method out of them.
"No, no, no. We want to control Douluo Continent and then help Douluo Continent advance again; only in this way can we reach a higher realm of Cultivation. How could we possibly destroy Douluo Continent?"
When the God of Destruction said this, he thought for a moment and then continued to speak: "We have found the reason for the birth of the World Consciousness. The prerequisite for the birth of the World Consciousness is the appearance of humans within the world. We only need to eliminate all humans within the world, and the World Consciousness will collapse on its own, and the world will return to its previous state from then on."
"What? You want to kill everyone on Douluo Continent? This is impossible; I will not agree to it. With so many people on Douluo Continent, after being cleared by you, can a world without people still be called a world?" After hearing the other party's reply, Jerry became agitated; the other party actually wanted to eliminate all humans within the world, which was simply insane.
"Are there many people on Douluo Continent? That's impossible! Douluo Continent was never a world adapted for human life; how could there be so many people?"
After hearing Jerry's words, the God of Destruction himself fell into confusion, and at the same time, the several gods behind him also fell into deep confusion.
The Five Great God Kings directly began to discuss it. They did not hide the content of their discussion from Jerry; they were discussing why there were so many humans on Douluo Continent, and how humans could possibly survive on Douluo Continent.
Seeing that the gods on the opposite side were all confused, Jerry also felt it was very strange. Could it be that they had stayed in the God Realm for too long and didn't know that Douluo Continent was currently ruled by humans?
Even in ancient times, there were humans, right? The Fairy Queen had told him about ancient matters before; could there be something in this that made the gods of the God Realm unaware of the situation on Douluo Continent?
