Chapter 331: Migrating Humans, the Insidious World Consciousness

Jerry's series of actions was, to the Douluo Continent, nothing short of a miracle; it not only shocked all the common people of the Douluo Continent but also shocked the World Consciousness at the same time.

The World Consciousness had never imagined that Rules could be used in such a way; it could not understand Jerry's series of operations at all, yet it could feel the power of the Rules.

What was intended was for the World Consciousness not to understand, as only then could it be shocked; this time, Jerry used the ability of the Divine Body Fourth Layer, and Material Transformation originally belonged to the power of Rules.

And on the Douluo Continent, Jerry could be called the first person in history to cultivate a Divine Body, so the ability of Material Transformation also appeared on the Douluo Continent for the first time; not only the World Consciousness, but even the gods of the God Realm had likely never witnessed it.

The gods of the past first cultivated soul power to become strong, then began to comprehend Rules; as for body refinement, it was all incidental when absorbing Spirit Rings, and absolutely no one focused on Divine Body cultivation.

As for the ability to change the world, they had none at all, though their ability to destroy was quite great.

Destruction and creation are inherently relative!

Whether it was soul skills or the power of Rules, people, gods, and Soul Beasts of the past all thought about how to increase their destructive power; they never thought about using soul power to create things.

After the profession of Soul Guidance Master emerged, it could be called the beginning of creation, setting a precedent, but it was wiped out by the God Realm.

And the Material Transformation ability that appeared when the Divine Body broke through to the fourth layer is even more suited for creation.

Both are powers of Rules, but the direction of their use is different; one is using Rules as a means of attack, the other as a means of creation, which is why it could shock everyone so much.

One only knows how to destroy, while the other knows how to create; if the common people were allowed to choose, they would rather believe that the one who can create is the true god.

Jerry's operation this time could be said to have harvested the Faith Power of everyone on the Douluo Continent.

Even those who had only heard of Lord Jerry before but had never truly seen him in person, and whose faith was not firm, found their faith in Jerry becoming increasingly firm after this incident.

Jerry's operation this time could be said to have a profound influence on the future development of the entire continent.

"Jer... ry, what is this power of yours?" the World Consciousness said, trembling.

"The power of Rules!"

Jerry gave the World Consciousness a direct answer, but the World Consciousness was very suspicious and could not believe what Jerry said.

"No, no, no, this is not, this is not the power of Rules; how could the power of Rules possibly change the world like this?"

The World Consciousness was currently having a bit of a breakdown; this unknown power made it feel very fearful.

The World Consciousness now dared not believe it, nor did it dare to acknowledge it; it was unwilling to accept this fact and could not help but fall into deep panic.

However, the personality of the World Consciousness was too extreme; although the World Consciousness could do nothing to Jerry now, Jerry also had no means to truly deal with the World Consciousness.

This time, the gods of the God Realm did mention a method that could deal with the World Consciousness; if it were in the past, it would have been very troublesome for Jerry, but now, it was a matter that could be easily accomplished.

The true humans have always been hidden on the Douluo Continent, and they have one very obvious characteristic: they cannot awaken a martial soul.

Regarding these humans who could not awaken a martial soul, the Spirit Hall had previously categorized them as a special group: the No-Wuhun Population.

This type of person was basically all commoners; because they had no martial soul, they were not suited for living in big cities, and most lived in villages.

Jerry had once seen a document from the Spirit Hall that recorded several villages composed of No-Wuhun humans.

And now, basically everyone registers their information with the Spirit Hall, so these true humans are very easy to find.

The World Consciousness had already fallen into a panic and dared not take action against Jerry; therefore, Jerry did not want to pay any more attention to the World Consciousness and returned directly to Wuhun City to take out the data on the entire No-Wuhun Population.

After taking a look, there were indeed quite a few people in this group; there were over three thousand people registered with the Spirit Hall.

These three thousand-plus people were all the true humans on the entire continent; after all, several population censuses had been conducted before, and all household registration data would eventually be preserved in the Spirit Hall, so there were basically no errors or omissions.

The god-level method was to directly eliminate these true humans, but Jerry would certainly not do that.

So Jerry had a plan: immigration to the Second Planet.

The Second Planet currently only had some general rules of the Douluo Star System; it had nothing else.

When the Soul Beasts that had migrated there previously broke through the ten-thousand-year mark on the Second Planet, there was no Thunder Tribulation.

Jerry guessed that the rules targeting Soul Beasts, as well as the rule that human cultivation requires adding Spirit Rings, only existed on the Douluo Star and did not exist on the Second Planet.

One of the rules of the Douluo Continent is that one must awaken a martial soul to cultivate, but for techniques like the Profound Heaven Art, in the Tang Sect of Tang San's past life, everyone could cultivate it; if that were the case, these true humans might be able to cultivate if they went to the Second Planet.

Even if they could not cultivate, Jerry was prepared to move all the true humans away; in that case, the World Consciousness would dissipate.

Even if true humans were born again in the future and a World Consciousness reappeared, it might be a newborn World Consciousness, rather than the relatively extreme World Consciousness of the present.

Thinking of this, Jerry no longer hesitated and directly had the Spirit Hall summon all these true humans who had not awakened a martial soul together.

Jerry had people tell these true humans that there was a place that might allow them, who had not awakened a martial soul, to cultivate.

After the humans without martial souls heard this news, their originally calm hearts immediately became turbulent.

Although the notice said it was only a possibility and just Lord Jerry's conjecture, everyone was very convinced.

If it were in the past, some people might not have believed it, but after Jerry revealed a miracle this time, everyone believed in Jerry implicitly.

If there was anyone in this world who could allow them, who could not awaken a martial soul, to cultivate, then that person must be Jerry.

Over three thousand people, each carrying luggage; the square, which could originally accommodate ten thousand people, appeared very crowded at this moment.

Because a Space Ring cannot hold another Space Ring, this luggage was all placed outside.

Their Storage Soul Guidance Rings were kept by Jerry for safekeeping.

However, these storage rings used by ordinary people would likely no longer be used once they could cultivate.

After all, many Soul Guidance Devices previously used by ordinary people required regular energy replenishment, which was still very troublesome.

Once ordinary people cultivated soul power, they would be able to use complete Soul Guidance Devices directly, so these Soul Guidance Devices used by ordinary people were destined to be phased out in the future.

It was also fortunate that after Jerry's Divine Body leveled up, he gained the ability of Material Transformation, making the storage rings he produced have larger spaces, and the environment inside the rings was more suitable for living things to exist; otherwise, one ring really would not be enough to hold everything.

Jerry took these people and prepared to leave the Douluo Continent to head to the Second Planet to live.

Just as Jerry was preparing to leave, the World Consciousness suddenly appeared, and this time it directly manifested a figure condensed from energy.

A huge figure appeared directly above the sky.

At this moment, all the common people living on the Douluo Continent looked up, watching this figure that had appeared in the sky.

The figure was solid, and a wave of pressure radiated out, directly enveloping the entire Douluo Continent.

Whether it was a Spirit Master or a Soul Beast, at this moment, everyone felt a huge pressure weighing down on them.

Spirit Masters were directly pressed down to their knees on the ground, even Qian Daoliu and others who had already become gods were no exception.

As for the Soul Beasts, one by one they were pressed down to the ground, their entire bodies trembling, not daring to move at all.

Even the Soul Beasts deep in the ocean were now swimming toward the deeper parts of the sea, not daring to linger for even a moment.

At this moment, apart from Jerry, every living creature on the Douluo Continent had fallen into a panic.

"This world consciousness, it could have just appeared, but it had to make such a scene," Jerry muttered to himself in his heart.

"Jerry, release the humans in your ring!"

The massive figure suddenly spoke, its voice deafening and filled with rage; every living creature on the Douluo Continent had their ears buzzing from this roar.

"Heh! World consciousness, you've finally shown yourself. I thought you were going to keep hiding!"

Jerry said with a smile, completely unaffected by the world consciousness, his words carrying a hint of disdain.

"Jerry, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Release the humans, and we will consider this matter as if it never happened."

Although the world consciousness was furious, it held back, not wanting to truly burn bridges with Jerry yet; after all, it still hadn't figured out the methods Jerry had displayed earlier.

"Tch, world consciousness, if you had properly maintained this world and not targeted me, I wouldn't have been planning to make a move against you."

"But look at what you've done. After advancing twice, have you gotten arrogant? You just succeeded in your advancement and immediately tried to intimidate me. It's a pity, though—an accident occurred, and you couldn't handle the God Realm."

"Have you forgotten who helped the world advance? Have you forgotten who fended off the God Realm's attacks when you were imprisoned by them?"

"But it doesn't matter now. From the moment you moved against me, the conflict between us became irreconcilable. You cannot stop me. Let me see if the method the God Realm mentioned is useful."

After Jerry finished speaking, he ignored the angry expression of the world consciousness and flew toward the outside of the universe.

Seeing Jerry's actions, the world consciousness grew anxious, manifesting various Rule powers in an attempt to stop Jerry from leaving.

Jerry saw many Rules appearing to block his path, chuckled, and continued flying toward the outside of the universe. These defenses composed of Rule powers were all absorbed the moment they touched Jerry's body, failing to stop him for even a single second.

Seeing that none of its methods could stop Jerry, the world consciousness began to shout frantically, "No, Jerry, you cannot do this! If you continue outward, believe me, I will destroy the world along with myself!"

Hearing the world consciousness say this, Jerry paused and spoke directly: "World consciousness, you overestimate yourself. You are only a part of the world; is it even possible for you to destroy the world along with yourself? Not to mention anything else, you wouldn't even dare to harm a common creature on the Douluo Continent!"

"Jerry, you are wrong. I was born from the world and belong to a part of it. If I disappear, it will be a great loss to the world. If you insist on my disappearance, I will do everything in my power to eliminate all living creatures on the continent. Do you have the heart to watch them all perish?"

The world consciousness shouted at Jerry, its voice spreading across the entire continent; all living creatures fell into deep fear after hearing the words of the world consciousness.

Many commoners spontaneously knelt on the ground and began to pray.

"Lord Jerry, please show mercy!"

"Lord Jerry, the world consciousness will destroy the whole world! We don't want to die yet, please come back!"

"Lord Jerry, we beg you!"

These sounds of pleading reached Jerry's ears, and upon hearing them, a trace of anger could not help but rise in his heart.

This bastard of a world consciousness is actually playing this game with me.

Bullying the commoners who don't know the truth, using their fear of death to make them beg me and force me to give up.

World consciousness, you have truly gone too far.

Jerry is not a cold-blooded person, but now that he has been pushed to this point by the world consciousness, he must give all the commoners an explanation; otherwise, if all the commoners harbor resentment toward him in the future, that would not be a good thing.

Subsequently, Jerry imitated the world consciousness, directly utilizing the Rules to form a phantom in the sky several times larger than that of the world consciousness.

Jerry did this on purpose. Ordinary people do not know the truth and many only believe what they see. Therefore, Jerry used the same method, but his phantom was several times larger than the world consciousness's, making the commoners visually perceive Jerry as more powerful than the world consciousness.

Jerry's phantom lowered its head, gazing at the creatures across the entire continent. The pressure Jerry radiated at this moment was more powerful than that of the world consciousness, yet it felt gentle, giving people a sense of security.

"People of the Douluo Continent, I am Jerry of the Spirit Hall. Now, I have decided to tell everyone a truth regarding the world consciousness!"

Hearing Jerry's words, the world consciousness wanted to stop Jerry from continuing.

Jerry naturally saw the actions of the world consciousness, but since it had no good way to counter him, he directly released all control over his body and began to absorb the energy of the Douluo Continent.

"World consciousness, you had better shut up while I am speaking. Although I cannot deal with you, I can absorb the energy of the entire continent. I wonder if you will regress in level after I absorb it."

Jerry's phantom coldly glanced at the phantom of the world consciousness. The world consciousness felt threatened by Jerry and was full of rage, but deep down, it was truly afraid. If Jerry really did this, the entire world that had just successfully advanced might truly regress.

Even if it didn't regress, if the energy were all absorbed by Jerry, there would be very little left for others to absorb, and very little energy would be converted. For a world in normal Growth, this is a terrifying thing.

Jerry's ability to absorb any kind of energy is too terrifying, and he can store this energy in his body without releasing any of it. With energy coming in but none going out, he is practically like a malignant tumor.

Therefore, although the world consciousness was furious, it was afraid.

"All creatures of the Douluo Continent, listen well. The world consciousness is an consciousness born from the world, used to help manage the entire world. Originally, this world consciousness should have been fair in treating all things, but now this world consciousness has developed its own thoughts."

"As a part of the world, it now wants to control the entire world."

"Originally, the world's advancement was a very slow and silent process that would not cause any harm to the world."

"But now, in order to strengthen itself, this world consciousness has forcibly advanced twice, bringing two natural disasters to the entire continent."

"After the advancement succeeded, for the sake of its own selfish desires, it opened the passage to the God Realm, causing the gods of the God Realm to attack the Douluo Continent twice. If I hadn't personally fended them off, many places would likely have already been enslaved by these gods from the God Realm."

"The gods of the God Realm have always been parasites on the Douluo Continent. Soul Beasts need to experience Thunder Tribulation to cultivate to one hundred thousand years, and Spirit Masters need to add a Spirit Ring at every realm; these are all methods devised by the God Realm for the current development of the Douluo Continent."

"At the same time, the God Realm has been constantly draining the soul power of the Douluo Continent; ninety percent of the soul power between heaven and earth has been extracted by the God Realm."

"The concentration of soul power between heaven and earth has decreased. I think everyone knows the consequences of this!"

"Now that the world has advanced twice, the God Realm has seen the future potential of the Douluo Continent and is preparing to occupy it."

"The God Realm is merely a Secret Realm opened up based on the Douluo Continent. Its resources are limited, and there are certain reasons why they cannot leave the God Realm. Now that they see the Douluo Continent is developing well, they are preparing to make a move on the entire continent."

"The Douluo Continent has always been our home. Are you willing to let that bunch of selfish gods from the God Realm rule over you?"

"Whether it is the gods of the God Realm or the world consciousness, they should have contributed to the entire continent, but now they have started to harm it. Tell me, shouldn't we resist!"

"Also, what the world consciousness just said is complete nonsense. The world consciousness is a part of the world, and we are all parts of the world. Although the world consciousness has higher authority, it fundamentally cannot take action against the creatures within the world."

"Even if it is a worm on the Douluo Continent, as long as it is a living thing, it cannot harm it."

"The passage to the God Realm has been closed. Currently, the Douluo Continent still struggles a bit against the God Realm, but this world consciousness can be dealt with first."

When Jerry said this, the world consciousness could no longer hold back and shouted at Jerry's phantom: "Jerry, everything you say is bullshit! I am the world consciousness, how could I not be able to take action against other creatures? If I want to wipe them out, it's just a matter of waving my hand."

Hearing the world consciousness say this, Jerry smiled contemptuously and then said: "I didn't know before, but now I do, and you told me yourself."

"Impossible! When did I ever tell you that!" the world consciousness roared.

"It was when you attacked me! I know my own abilities, but when you attacked, I felt it. Even if I didn't have these abilities, your seemingly powerful Rule powers couldn't have harmed me."

"As for the reason, it is because I also belong to a part of the world!"

"By the same logic, everyone is a part of the world; as long as you do not violate the Rule of the world, you cannot lay a hand on us!"

"There is no clause in the Rule that says one cannot relocate humans!"

Jerry's words were heard by the common people across the entire continent, and their previous worries vanished into thin air at this moment.
