335. Chapter 335: A New Realm and Development During Peacetime
"The lower realm must still be attacked, otherwise, this frustration cannot be swallowed. Jerry destroyed all of our Inheritance Sites; have you thought about it? Without the Inheritance Sites, our believers will gradually disappear after many years, and at that time, Faith Power will naturally be unobtainable. I don't need to say much about the function of Faith Power!" the God King of Shura said earnestly, rubbing his forehead.
Previously, Jerry and the world consciousness cooperated to destroy all the Secret Realms on the Douluo Continent, and they also destroyed the Inheritance Sites of the God Realm.
Through the God Trials of the Inheritance Sites, a steady stream of believers could be ensured for the gods. Now that the Inheritance Sites are destroyed, God Trials can no longer be sent down. As time passes, people in the lower realm will sooner or later forget the existence of gods, and even if some documents record matters of the gods, they will only become legendary in the future.
The lifespan of gods is long; naturally, the things they consider cannot just be the present, but must also be considered from the perspective of the future.
Whether now or in the future, Faith Power is something they need, and the more of it, the better.
If it were before the world had advanced and the world's upper limit had not been broken, for gods like them who had cultivated to the world's upper limit, Faith Power could only be used for other purposes and would not improve themselves much. But now the world has advanced, and the world consciousness has dissipated; they have not yet reached the world's upper limit, so naturally, they want to obtain Faith Power, this panacea of a cultivation accelerator.
Moreover, the Douluo World has advanced twice in such a short period of time; no one can say for sure how long it will take for the Douluo World to advance next time.
If it took millions of years to advance like before, they could slowly collect Faith Power and slowly cultivate to the limit of the world. But the appearance of Jerry has shortened this time infinitely. Furthermore, relying on Jerry's methods, collecting a large amount of Faith Power in the lower realm would allow him to cultivate to the limit of the world very quickly, and at that time, they would no longer be Jerry's opponents.
If Jerry has the idea of attacking the God Realm, then they must consider the consequences of defeat.
The Dragon God of that year ruled over the gods for a million years; they had finally managed to overthrow the Dragon God's rule, and they did not want another existence like the Dragon God to appear and press down on their heads.
Therefore, the attack on the Douluo World is urgent; the sooner, the better.
The God King of Shura saw this point, and it is impossible for the other Great God Kings not to see it as well.
Except for the Evil God King who held a glimmer of luck, the other God Kings were very firm in the decision to attack the Douluo Continent.
The Evil God King indeed had his own opinions about attacking the Douluo Continent.
First, he has few believers and originally had no Faith Power;
Second, even if the attack on the Douluo Continent were successful, his status would be the same as it is now, with the Five Great God Kings still ruling everything. For him, ruling the God Realm and ruling the God Realm plus the Douluo Continent makes no difference;
Third, he can see that Jerry currently has no intention of attacking the God Realm. If the God Realm takes the initiative to attack and angers Jerry, Jerry is very likely to counterattack the God Realm.
He cannot see through Jerry; this person is too strange, and his growth is too fast. Just based on the fact that Jerry could survive the Heavenly Punishment, he felt that the entire God Realm was no match for Jerry.
He knows much more about things like Heavenly Punishment than the other gods. After all, as the Evil God King, the Rules he comprehends through cultivation easily trigger Heavenly Punishment—the probability of him triggering Heavenly Punishment is much higher than other gods—and he has also witnessed with his own eyes many gods more powerful than himself perish under Heavenly Punishment.
Yet Jerry could survive the Heavenly Punishment; this is not something that can be done just by having good luck, so he cannot see through Jerry. If possible, he would not want to stand on the opposite side of Jerry at all.
Although other gods know that Jerry survived the Heavenly Punishment, they only feel that Jerry is a bit more powerful. They have not felt the power of the Heavenly Punishment at close range, and as their cultivation increases, they do not value Heavenly Punishment too much. Some things, if you have not experienced them personally, you will never understand how great their power is.
When the time comes for Jerry to occupy the God Realm, the fate of these God Kings will not be very good, and they might even perish from then on.
Now it seems that the other God Kings are determined to attack the Douluo Continent. The Evil God King knows that he alone cannot persuade the other gods, so he must make plans for the future.
Douluo Continent
After the world consciousness dissipated, Jerry prepared to try having his clone take real humans back to the Douluo Continent to see if the world consciousness would appear again.
Jerry had guessed before that either a new world consciousness would appear, or the previous world consciousness would be resurrected.
Jerry had the clone return to the Douluo Continent, and after entering the Douluo Planet, it stopped directly at the edge of the world. In this way, if the previous world consciousness were resurrected, he could instantly have the clone take the real humans and leave the Douluo World, then let the world consciousness dissipate once more.
When the clone entered the Douluo World, the world consciousness did not emerge, and there was no phenomenon of shackles appearing on its body. To be on the safe side, he had the clone stay at the edge of the world for a month, and the world consciousness still did not emerge.
It seems that the birth of world consciousness requires other conditions; it is not just the presence of real humans that is enough.
In the ancient times, it must have been due to accidental circumstances that the world consciousness was born.
Seeing this result, Jerry felt much more at ease, so whether these real humans migrate or not is no longer important.
After all, it is hard to leave one's homeland; having them migrate before was a last resort. Now that there is no threat of world consciousness, there is no need to migrate anymore.
As for what conditions must be met for world consciousness to be born, Jerry does not want to bother with it now. After all, if he can make the world consciousness dissipate once, he can make it dissipate a second time.
Since the world consciousness did not emerge, the crisis of the Douluo Continent is resolved.
Taking advantage of the fact that all the main cities have ascended into the sky, Jerry also replanned the entire Douluo Continent.
He does not intend to let the main cities descend again; he will let these floating main cities become a feature of the Douluo Continent. Moreover, after the main cities ascend, a lot of space will be freed up, and he can just rebuild on these places.
The world consciousness has dissipated, and the God Realm cannot come over now. The Douluo Continent is currently at its safest moment. In the time to come, the Douluo Continent will usher in a period of high-speed development.
Jerry also does not intend to hide some secrets anymore; he will directly disclose the world of the God Realm to the entire continent.
Some cultivation resources previously hidden by the Spirit Hall will also be opened to all Spirit Masters on the continent. As for the cultivation realms after the God level, Jerry plans to announce them, and he does not intend to follow the cultivation realms of the God Realm; he plans to formulate them himself.
Very quickly, all the Spirit Masters on the continent knew that there were actually many realms after the God level.
After becoming a god, one will comprehend Rules. Jerry calls this realm the Rule Realm.
The Rule Realm is also divided into five levels: early Rule Realm (entry 10%), mid Rule Realm (proficient 30%), late Rule Realm (small success 50%), peak Rule Realm (great success 80%), and perfect Rule Realm (perfection 100%).
Although it is divided into five levels, most people can only comprehend up to the peak Rule Realm (great success 80%). After all, the perfect Rule Realm represents 100% comprehension of a Rule; in the God Realm, only the Five Great God Kings can reach this level.
To reach perfection, besides one's own talent, one also needs some opportunities; it is not something everyone can reach.
The perfect Rule Realm is the current limit of the Douluo Continent; after all, not everyone is like Jerry and can break the limit.
In the Rule Realm, one can comprehend a single Rule individually until great success, then comprehend other Rules, or one can comprehend multiple Rules simultaneously.
As for the realms after the Rule Realm, Jerry only disclosed them to some high-level members of the Spirit Hall to prevent others from being overly ambitious after knowing them.
In the Rule Realm, if one comprehends all eight basic Rules—Wood, Fire, Earth, Thunder, Darkness, Light, and others—to great success (of course, perfection would be better), and then comprehends the Time, Space, Creation, and Destruction Rules, one can cultivate to the next realm.
This realm allows one to create a Small World; Jerry calls this realm the World Realm.
After creating a Small World, comprehending Rules becomes much easier. The Rules that were comprehended to 80% great success in the Rule Realm can basically be comprehended to 100% perfection in the World Realm.
After all, one has already created a world. During the process of creation, various Rules appear, which is equivalent to experiencing a scene of heaven and earth opening. If one still cannot comprehend the Rules to 100%, then it can only be due to one's own limits.
After cultivating the World Realm to the extreme, one needs to comprehend the Life and Death Rules.
This allows the world to give birth to living beings. After having these living beings, the world will become a Life Planet. As long as the Life Planet does not perish, the cultivator will exist forever. Jerry calls this realm the Life-Reversing Realm. A cultivator who reaches this realm can truly be said to have reversed their fate against the heavens and has infinite lifespan.
As for the next realm, Jerry only inferred one: the Galaxy Realm.
After all, a Life Planet has already been cultivated; next, according to the laws of the universe, it is naturally to develop into a galaxy.
However, this is still too far away. Jerry himself is currently equivalent to the perfect Rule Realm and has not yet started to construct a world.
However, constructing a world will be soon. After all, he already has the Earth Core Inner Core, so constructing a world is only a matter of time.
The problem now is to let the world advance again; it is estimated that only then will he be able to construct a world.
Furthermore, Jerry discovered a very important issue: ever since the Second Planet became a Life Planet, the speed of World Advancement has become much faster, whether it is the Second Planet or the Douluo Planet.
Ordinary gods might not be able to sense it, but Jerry, with his powerful divine sense, felt it very clearly.
Jerry prepared to verify it to see if the acceleration of the world's economic speed was related to the Second Planet becoming a Life Planet.
If it really is related, the Douluo Star System has a total of nine major planets; besides the Douluo Planet and the Second Planet, there are seven other planets, and Jerry prepared to transform the planets adjacent to the Douluo Star first.
The Second Planet has now finished its transformation and will grow and advance on its own in the future, so it can be left unmanaged for the time being.
Another adjacent one is the Fourth Planet, which is considered close to the Douluo Planet, and the environmental differences are not too great; with the experience from transforming the Second Planet, the transformation of the Fourth Planet will be much simpler.
Jerry now has so many clones, and he himself possesses the ability of Material Transformation, plus numerous Spirit Guidance Devices; under these prerequisites, igniting the Earth Core of the Fourth Planet and transforming the environment on the Fourth Planet is undoubtedly much faster.
Now that materials are sufficient and he has numerous clones, the Soil Conversion Soul Guidance Device and Water Conversion Soul Guidance Device can be produced faster.
After exchanging ideas with the high-level members of the Spirit Hall regarding the development plan for the Douluo Continent for the next few years, Jerry began his seclusion to focus on producing Spirit Guidance Devices.
When one gets busy, it is very easy to forget the passage of time; in the blink of an eye, a year passed.
The Douluo Continent can now be described as taking on a brand-new look, with everything developing in a positive direction.
In this year alone, over a thousand children with Innate Full Spirit Power appeared among those who newly underwent Spirit Awakening; in the past, Innate Full Spirit Power was not exactly once-in-a-century, but it was certainly once-in-several-decades.
Now, Innate Full Spirit Power has become a less sensational matter, and even children with spirit power exceeding the innate full level have appeared once or twice; without competition from other forces, these children with spirit power exceeding the innate full level naturally entered the Spirit Hall to study.
With all kinds of resources and data fully disclosed, the cultivation of all Spirit Masters across the entire Douluo Continent progressed by leaps and bounds this year.
Many Level 99 Super Douluo also appeared during this year, but the one-level gap from Level 99 to Level 100 is like a natural chasm, blocking many Spirit Masters.
They sought methods to break through to the Hundred Level from the Spirit Hall one after another, but the God Level powerhouses of the Spirit Hall basically all broke through by relying on Faith Power, and they all broke through with Jerry's help.
If one wants to break through by relying on oneself, one must comprehend a Rule; even if one only comprehends 1%, one can successfully break through to the Hundred Level.
As for the method of how to rely on comprehending a Rule to break through to the Hundred Level, Jerry had only mentioned it casually before.
At that time, no one paid attention; after all, back then, after cultivating to the limit, relying on Jerry to break through to Level 100 meant that after the breakthrough, one would automatically comprehend a Rule, so they did not know the method for how to get started with this Rule.
During the year Jerry was in seclusion refining Spirit Guidance Devices, everyone was waiting for Jerry to come out of seclusion.
When Jerry appeared, it directly stirred the hearts of many people, who immediately put down everything in their hands and rushed over to pay their respects to Jerry.
Hearing their questions, Jerry was also a bit between laughter and tears.
The predecessor of a Rule is a Domain; once a Domain is obtained, it is very easy to break through from Level 99 to Level 100.
However, there are too few people on the Douluo Continent who possess a Domain, and they have no clue as to how to obtain one.
In the past, one could obtain a Domain through a God Trial, some could obtain a Domain after cultivating their martial soul to a certain realm, and some were born with a Domain after their Spirit Awakening.
But there are very few people who obtain a Domain later in life; obtaining a Domain is actually very simple, as long as it is explained clearly, and if one is lucky, basically every Spirit Master can obtain a Domain.
Every martial soul has an attribute; if one possesses a certain attribute, then it is easy to comprehend a Domain of that attribute, thereby comprehending a Rule.
In places that share the same attribute as oneself, comprehension will also be easier; it is a bit like Mimicry Cultivation, but it is different from Mimicry Cultivation.
Most Mimicry environments are artificially arranged and lack some of the momentum of heaven and earth, but the naturally formed mountains and terrain in the outside world make it easier for people to comprehend.
Go to volcanic areas for a Fire Attribute Domain, to the seaside or riverside for a Water Attribute Domain, to the forest for a Wood Attribute Domain, and so on.
Of course, this does not mean that you will definitely be able to comprehend a Domain just by arriving at these places; it also depends on one's own comprehension. If you are lucky and have a flash of inspiration, you can comprehend it all at once; if you are unlucky and your comprehension is not high, even if the external environment is excellent, it is very difficult to comprehend anything.
In order to let the Spirit Masters of the Douluo Continent grow as quickly as possible, Jerry organized all his cultivation experience and then arranged for the Spirit Hall to print it as soon as possible.
The materials Jerry organized were printed into books titled "Cultivation to God Level"; on the day of release, all one million copies were sold out, and as time fermented, the books became even harder to find, and the Spirit Hall was also rushing to print more.
The books contained cultivation before Spirit Awakening, cultivation from after Spirit Awakening to Level 99, and most importantly, the cultivation methods and personal experience on how to break through to Level 100 and become a God Level powerhouse.
The Spirit Hall Academy also directly used this book as a textbook, and the academies of the Two Great Empires also followed the example of the Spirit Hall Academy one after another.
Because this book was written all the way to the God Level, to prevent students from being overly ambitious, the Spirit Hall specifically divided this book into three volumes: the first volume, cultivation before Spirit Awakening, for children in Kindergarten to study; the middle volume, written about cultivation after Spirit Awakening, used by Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced Spirit Master Academies; and the last volume, the method to break through to the God Level, which students purchase and study on their own.
After the books circulated, all the Spirit Masters finally understood the importance of comprehension.
In a situation where cultivation resources are sufficient, talent appears to be not that important, and instead, comprehension becomes very important.
With a good general environment for cultivation, cultivating to Level 99 is only a matter of time; whether one can break through to Level 100 still depends on comprehension.
Some people even started to research means to improve comprehension; after Jerry received the news, he only smiled lightly and let them be.
To improve comprehension, one must have special heaven-sent treasures; even Immortal Herbs do not have the ability to improve comprehension.
Based on the current world level of the Douluo Continent, it cannot give birth to medicinal herbs that improve comprehension.
As for items that improve comprehension, that is even more impossible.
If comprehension could really be improved, Jerry felt that the field of Arrays is the most likely; one could research an Enlightenment Array that temporarily improves comprehension.
However, it will still take a long time to let Arrays develop further on the Douluo Continent, so that there is a glimmer of possibility to research an Enlightenment Array.
However, Jerry himself did not go to research this Enlightenment Array; although his own comprehension is very good, the time spent wanting to research an Enlightenment Array is too much, and he does not have that much time to research it now.
Of course, Jerry is not doing nothing; he sent out the news that in the field of Arrays, it is possible to research an Enlightenment Array that temporarily improves comprehension.
By releasing this news, he can not only let other personnel take fewer detours but also prevent them from going down evil paths for the sake of research.
With the spread of this news from Jerry, Arrays became the most popular thing at the moment. (End of chapter)
