339. Chapter 339: Crisis Resolved, The Advancement of the Entire Star System
The arrival of the disaster was already fated; at this moment, Jerry's heart was extremely anxious, and his brain was rapidly calculating a way to save them.
Relocation.
This was the only solution Jerry could think of at this moment.
From the sixth planet onwards, the land area on the planets was greater than the ocean area; even if all the glaciers melted, it would be impossible to submerge all the land.
Especially on the ninth planet, the ratio of ocean to land was one to nine; even if all the glaciers melted, there would still be a vast amount of land area.
With land, humanity would have space to survive, and only then would there be a future.
One year for all the Soul Beasts on the second planet to relocate, and one year and three months for all humans and other creatures on Douluo Planet to relocate.
With both proceeding simultaneously, plus the convenience of the Planet Teleportation Array, there would be enough time.
However, this was the last resort; Jerry was still continuing to calculate, wanting to seek a better plan.
During these six and a half years, Jerry's Cultivation had not fallen behind; through his own practice, combined with the continuous stream of Faith Power, Jerry's divine sense had reached 39 million points.
39 million points of divine sense allowed Jerry to construct three worlds within his Sea of Consciousness.
Just as Jerry had calculated before, for every 10 million points his divine sense increased, he could construct one world.
He had originally planned to go into seclusion for a period after this advancement to construct a fourth world, but he had not expected the planet's advancement to bring such a serious disaster, so the idea of seclusion for Cultivation had to be temporarily shelved.
If he released all 39 million points of divine sense, he could cover as many as three planets in the Douluo Star System, but right now, that was far from enough.
If his divine sense could cover the Sun and the nine planets of the Douluo Star System now, he could quickly calculate the overall orbital paths of the nine celestial bodies.
After calculating them, if he used his divine sense to simultaneously adjust the distances and orbital paths of the nine planets, he could restore the internal environment and climate of the planets to their previous state; in this way, the glaciers would not melt, and the planets would no longer face the danger of being covered by oceans.
Between the nine planets, and between the nine planets and the Sun, there existed invisible gravitational forces; pulling one hair would affect the whole body.
Changing the position of just one planet would trigger a series of chain reactions.
If the nine planets were moved simultaneously, although it would also cause a series of changes, if the forces between them were kept consistent, the impact caused would undoubtedly be reduced by a lot.
Moving the position of one planet was something Jerry could barely manage with his current divine sense, but moving the positions of nine planets at the same time was something no one in the Douluo Star System should be able to do right now.
Therefore, this plan was still unfeasible, so Jerry could only try moving one planet first to see.
Jerry calculated that if he adjusted the positions of the nine planets within a short time, even if there were some hazards, he could reduce them to a minimum.
Jerry prepared to start moving the planets from the outside in, beginning with the ninth planet, and his brain began to rapidly calculate the mutual gravitational forces between the ninth planet and the other eight planets as well as the Sun.
At this moment, Jerry's Brain was like a high-speed computer, rapidly calculating various data.
Various data points emerged one after another in Jerry's mind, the interrelated data calculating rapidly together; once one piece of data was calculated, it was immediately applied to other calculations.
The calculations between celestial bodies involved such massive data that even though Jerry's Brain was a hundred or a thousand times stronger than the most advanced computer, the sheer volume of data calculation for a moment made Jerry feel it exceeded his Brain's capacity, and his head began to ache faintly.
Time passed second by second, and Jerry felt that with every passing second, the pain in his head increased by a fraction; his Brain was already overloaded, and Jerry had to slow down the speed of calculation to alleviate the pain in his Brain.
The white light had already lasted for two days, and the Spirit Masters and Soul Beasts on Douluo Planet all began to feel uneasy.
Fortunately, Jerry had previously explained matters of the universe to Qian Daoliu and the others, and they also knew that the previous white light represented the entire star system undergoing advancement, so after the white light appeared this time, the Spirit Hall dispatched more personnel to maintain order in every city, telling the common people not to panic.
However, this time it had lasted a bit too long; although the Spirit Hall personnel were saying there was nothing to worry about, a trace of panic could still be seen on their faces.
Although they were also panicked inside, they had to suppress their inner feelings; after all, they were personnel of the Spirit Hall, and they represented the Spirit Hall. If even they panicked, it would be self-defeating, and when the time came that no one was maintaining order, the scene would be unimaginable.
They already had unwavering faith in the Spirit Hall, and they rushed to the front lines to maintain order across the entire continent.
Many people began to pray in their hearts, and the first person they thought of was Jerry, so they all began to pray for the Great God Jerry to protect them and keep them safe.
Far away on the ninth planet, Jerry suddenly felt a surge of intense Faith Power coming toward him, which quickly merged into his body.
Jerry immediately sensed it; most of this Faith Power came from Douluo Continent, and a portion came from the Soul Beasts on the second planet.
It seemed that it was not just humans who were starting to panic; the Soul Beasts were panicking too.
The Faith Power had come at just the right time; Jerry immediately stopped his brain's calculations and began to focus all his efforts on absorbing the Faith Power for Cultivation.
39 million points, 39.1 million points, 39.2 million points...
Jerry's divine sense quickly reached 40 million points; at this moment, he sank his entire being into his Sea of Consciousness, and the fourth planet was quickly condensed successfully; a new world had been constructed.
The successful construction of the new world allowed Jerry's strength to break through once again, his cultivation reaching a higher level; Jerry felt that he was now unprecedentedly powerful.
After the breakthrough, the Faith Power was still pouring in continuously.
Jerry checked and saw that this breakthrough had been very fast, taking two days, far less time than before.
It was evident that under the illumination of the white light, the human body, or rather, the essence of any living creature, had undergone some changes, only these changes were hard to detect.
If Jerry hadn't been breaking through under the illumination of the white light this time, he wouldn't have noticed this change either.
Overall, the white light was more like an Evolution Light; it could not only accelerate the growth of the planet but also allow the illuminated creatures to undergo some subtle, hard-to-detect evolution.
There was no time now to study exactly what changes the white light had caused within the living organisms, but generally speaking, it was changing in a positive direction.
With his current strength, it was still too early to study this white light.
Last time, the white light appeared for one day and one night; this time, the white light had already lasted for four days and four nights, and it still hadn't ended.
Now that he knew the illumination of this white light was beneficial to living organisms, Jerry directly released two clones, one arriving on the second planet and one arriving on Douluo Planet.
After explaining the benefits of the white light, he had them organize everyone to bathe in the white light.
Many Soul Beasts did not like light, so after the white light appeared, they hid; after Jerry's clones gave notice, the Silver Dragon King, the Fairy Queen, and the Elf Queen directly began to make arrangements, and even if the Soul Beasts disliked the light, they were dragged out to bathe in the white light.
The humans on Douluo Planet, under the organization and propaganda of the Spirit Hall, walked out of their houses one after another and began to bathe in the white light.
The previous fear also dissipated entirely while bathing in the white light.
Upon learning that the white light was beneficial to the body, they all felt it was a miracle, and many even hoped the white light could last a little longer.
After the clones finished giving notice, they immediately returned to the ninth planet; after all, Jerry had to focus all his efforts on Cultivation and deduction, and splitting off a clone meant splitting off a portion of his own strength; unless it was an emergency, Jerry would not release clones.
When everyone began to bathe in the white light, Jerry clearly felt that the Faith Power had decreased a lot, but Jerry did not feel it was a pity.
After absorbing all the Faith Power, Jerry's divine sense reached 47 million points; this time, the Faith Power was truly abundant; it seemed Jerry's previous population growth plan had been very fruitful.
In a few years, whether on Douluo Continent or the second planet, the numbers of humans and Soul Beasts had clearly increased.
However, Douluo Planet had become larger, so even though the population had increased, there were still many undeveloped areas on Douluo Planet.
As long as the population of Douluo Planet becomes a bit more saturated, it will be possible to go and develop other planets.
Except for the Second Planet, which Jerry designated for Soul Beasts to inhabit, the Spirit Hall has already constructed cities around the Planet Teleportation Array on the other seven planets.
Currently, the Spirit Hall is only developing them simply, so the cities are not large, and most areas are used to store supplies.
Following Jerry's population development plan, many years later, many humans will also slowly migrate to these planets.
However, this is all a matter for the distant future; if the matter at hand is not resolved now, in one year, all living beings will only be able to migrate to the last few planets in the star system.
The white light continued to shine.
Jerry discovered that under the illumination of the white light, the speed of Cultivation also became faster, more than ten times what it was before.
He does not know when the white light will disappear, but Cultivation right now is definitely the right thing to do.
Thus, Jerry began to cultivate the "Divine Dragon Visualization Method" with his whole heart and soul.
Cultivating under the illumination of the white light, Jerry felt his thinking was exceptionally clear, and his Cultivation was incomparably smooth, making one very much enjoy the current state of Cultivation.
Even the Divine Dragon he was visualizing became a bit clearer at this moment.
At this moment, Jerry was completely immersed in the ocean of Cultivation.
Just like Jerry's situation, many humans and Soul Beasts also began to cultivate while bathing in the white light, and they were likewise immersed in it.
More and more people were immersed in Cultivation; even the breeze seemed to have hidden away to cultivate, the leaves no longer made rustling sounds, and the entire world became quiet.
He did not know how long it had been, but the white light disappeared, and everyone woke up from their Cultivation.
Without the illumination of the white light, Cultivation returned to its previous state and would no longer be immersed in it.
Jerry also woke up, calculated the time, and found that five days had already passed.
Looking at it this way, this white light lasted for nine days in total.
In these nine days, the entire star system seemed to have been sublimated.
After checking his Cultivation from these five days, his divine sense had reached 49 million points.
It increased by two million in five days; seeing this result, Jerry felt a pang of heartache, as he had not cultivated for the first four days, which was equivalent to a waste.
If he had also cultivated during the previous few days, he would likely have already constructed his fifth world by now.
Although it was a pity, Jerry quickly adjusted his mindset.
He released his divine sense, once again enveloping the four planets, and began to carry out his previous calculations.
Suddenly, Jerry widened his eyes.
Under the envelopment of Jerry's divine sense, he clearly felt that the positions of the four planets were slowly shifting.
Seeing this situation, Jerry instantly flew into the universe and was surprised to discover that, except for the position of the Sun which had not changed, the positions of all nine planets were shifting.
If it were not for the fact that Jerry's divine sense could envelop several planets, it would likely have been very difficult to discover this phenomenon of shifting.
According to the direction of this shift, Jerry calculated that the orbital paths of all the planets had become larger, and the distances between the planets had also increased.
This kind of change was like the star system expanding in the same proportion; previously the planets had grown larger while other things had not, but after the white light ended, the relative positions also began to change.
However, this change was taking place in the universe and was relatively slow; if one did not examine it carefully, it would be difficult to see the changes in the star system.
Jerry immediately began to calculate in his mind that if it were an expansion in the same proportion, then the forces between them would also be changing according to this proportion.
If his speculation was correct, the impact of this change on the interior of the planets should not be significant.
While in the universe, Jerry released his divine sense and soon touched the edge of the universe.
Following the edge, Jerry began to investigate.
The result was just as Jerry had guessed: the space of the entire star system had also grown larger.
Previously, Jerry had been worried that as the entire star system advanced and grew larger as a whole like this time, the Ninth Planet located at the outermost part of the Douluo Star System would sooner or later touch the edge of the universe.
Now Jerry was relieved; the entire cosmic space had grown larger, so there was no need to worry about the Ninth Planet colliding with the edge of the universe.
He tested the strength of the edge, and it was still as firm as ever; although his current strength was powerful, wanting to break through the edge of the universe and jump out of this star system was still an impossible task.
The God Realm must have a way to jump out of this universe, and this is a method Jerry must find.
Although the God Realm has not invaded yet, when he can break through the space barrier, even if the God Realm does not attack the Douluo Continent, he will still have to take the God Realm back into the Douluo Planet.
The God Realm is a Small World developed based on the Douluo Continent and is an inseparable part of the main body of the Douluo Continent.
If the God Realm is not completely independent, Jerry can consider keeping the God Realm at that time.
Of course, if the Douluo Planet evolves once more before Jerry can open the space barrier, according to previous calculations, the concentration of soul power between heaven and earth will reach one thousand times.
The current soul power concentration of the God Realm is only about one thousand times, so if the Douluo World advances again, the God Realm will be a completely redundant existence.
Therefore, there are now two directions of development: one direction is for the God Realm to open the space barrier between it and the Douluo Continent first, and the other direction is for Jerry to break through the barrier between the Douluo Continent and the God Realm.
They both seem to be opening a space barrier, but the results are two different things.
Whoever opens the space barrier first indirectly represents which side has the greater strength.
Jerry now has 49 million points of divine sense, is at the fourth level of the World Realm, and has constructed four worlds within his Sea of Consciousness; such strength can be said to be at the very forefront of the entire Douluo Star System.
But with such strength, he still cannot break through the space barrier.
Therefore, Jerry's mind is now filled with thoughts of Cultivation, to improve his cultivation level as quickly as possible.
Jerry planned out his future direction: improve his cultivation, recover the God Realm, and then let all nine planets of the Douluo Star System advance nine times to see what changes the Douluo Star System will have afterward.
Jerry's current Cultivation is like a microcosm of a star system; the development direction of the star system is also, in a disguised way, providing guidance for Jerry's Cultivation.
The Douluo Star System is not Jerry's goal; Jerry's goal is those Observers.
The Douluo Star System is like a huge cage; if one did not know the situation, one might live safely and steadily in this cage for a lifetime.
Jerry wants to break this cage and see how many worlds there are outside the cage; if possible, Jerry wants to return to his true hometown. (End of this chapter)
