Chapter 111: World Layout

This would not only raise the world's level cap, enabling Douluo Star to gestate more god-level powerhouses and advance toward becoming a true God Star in the future.

It could also raise the world's level floor, allowing humanity to transition from only a portion being able to become Spirit Masters to everyone having the qualifications to become one, while the growth speed and reproductive capacity of Spirit Beasts would also increase accordingly.

After Douluo Continent becomes a God Star, the restrictions on Spirit Beasts will be lifted by Qian Renxue, who is a God King, and the Spirit Beasts of the Douluo World will also be able to obtain the path to godhood.

Human Spirit Masters will be able to obtain man-made/god-made Soul Rings through other means, Spirit Beasts stuck on the path to godhood can become god-level beings, and humans and Spirit Beasts will fly beyond the scope of Douluo Star, developing into a cosmic-level civilization, and subsequently developing Douluo Star into the Douluo Star Domain.

However, because the Asura God invested a Child of Destiny-Reversal who had already grown up into this world, everything changed.

By using this Child of Destiny-Reversal as an anchor, the original development of the Douluo World was disrupted.

The Asura God wantonly used Divine Power to alter the fates of all living beings.

The Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring Soft Bone Rabbit, which should have died early, transformed and entered the side of the Child of Destiny-Reversal; Tang Hao, who should have remained silent, acted once again; and Yu Xiaogang, who had already been discarded as background scenery, once again stepped onto this stage of fate.

The Child of Destiny-Reversal possesses characteristics similar to human cancer cells, capable of devouring the luck of others and converting them into subordinate cancer cells.

Before all these subordinate cancer cells die or lose their utility, it is very difficult for the Child of Destiny-Reversal to die.

And this Child of Destiny-Reversal named Tang San had already grown up in the original plane, and it took the plane paying a huge price to shake him off; his hard-to-kill characteristics have already grown to a very strong level.

The world consciousness of the Douluo World, which is Manxing, once tried to eliminate the Child of Destiny-Reversal several times, but ended up being blocked by the Asura God.

Furthermore, as a Child of Destiny-Reversal who has already grown up once, Tang San's difficulty to kill far exceeds that of an ordinary Child of Destiny-Reversal; even if his physical body is obliterated, his soul will still undergo reincarnation.

Under the manipulation of the Asura God, this soul will continuously reincarnate in the Douluo World.

The Asura God began laying out his plans from who knows how long ago, and before the Douluo World could notice, he had already quietly eroded part of the Douluo World's authority, allowing this Child of Destiny-Reversal, who should have been eliminated at the first opportunity, to obtain luck similar to that of a Child of Luck and some characteristics of a Child of the Plane.

Most importantly, he even possesses some of the characteristics of "misfortune and fortune being interdependent" that only a Favored of the Plane has.

For a period of time after encountering a disaster, it is very easy to run into many "fortuitous encounters."

Once he cannot be killed directly, he will grow further.

With the current level of development of the world consciousness, there is absolutely no way to clear away this hidden hand left by the Asura God from who knows how long ago; it can only be worn down bit by bit through a slow, grinding process.

And this so-called slow, grinding process will take approximately nearly ten thousand years.

Although this time does not count for much to the world consciousness, it is already truly more than enough for the Asura God's plan.

Nowadays, there is only one way to eliminate the Child of Destiny-Reversal, and that is to let the Child of Destiny-Reversal grow to the stage where he is separated from the world.

Only when this bad fruit has ripened on the tree of the Douluo World can the Douluo World completely sever this connection.

Although the Child of Destiny-Reversal will certainly cause a certain amount of damage to the Douluo World during his growth process, these losses are within the Douluo World's capacity to bear.

It simply cannot tolerate the Child of the Plane being harmed as a result, leading to the world's progress stagnating or even regressing.

As for Zhou Heng, he is the Child of Luck (one of them) currently selected by the Douluo World; from the moment Chen Ming saved Qian Renxue, the Douluo World had already begun to gradually gather a large amount of luck for Chen Ming.

In the coming period, Zhou Heng's luck will have a significant boost.

Although he is not born of the Douluo World, as long as it is beneficial to the Douluo World, the Douluo World does not mind being a kind mother.

Moreover, with Zhou Heng's ability to directly contact the plane consciousness, even if Zhou Heng harms some of the Douluo World's interests, the Douluo World will not easily lower Zhou Heng's treatment.

Now, Zhou Heng and the Douluo World are in a state where cooperation benefits both and conflict harms both; after all, this ability to communicate directly with the world consciousness is something the native beings of the Douluo World are completely incapable of.

Only Zhou Heng can hear the words of the Douluo World and help the Douluo World deal with problems it cannot handle itself.

As the power of the God Trial gradually faded, the connection between Manxing and Zhou Heng was also gradually diminishing, and it was about to return to a state of disconnected contact.

Before the connection was severed, Zhou Heng asked his final question.

"I want to create my own Godhood to become a god; what should I do?"

Manxing sent the locations of the three continents to Chen Ming, and attached some fragments of the periods when the native gods—the Angel God, the Sea God, and the Rakshasa God—attained godhood.

As a world consciousness, Manxing understands what becoming a god means, but the existence of such an overly abstract entity leads it to completely fail to understand what "becoming a god" actually is; it could only send out some insights for Zhou Heng to ponder himself.

As the final resource package was transmitted, the connection between the Douluo World and Zhou Heng became hazy once again; Zhou Heng woke up from his meditation, stood up, and felt that his body had been significantly strengthened once more.

Qian Daoliu no longer wanted to say anything, or rather, he was already unable to say anything.

As for the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, even the Grand Pontiff of the Angel God could only obtain one during the God Trial, and most High Priests could barely raise this God-Bestowed Spirit Ring to a limit approaching one hundred thousand years; those who could make a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring exceed one hundred thousand years purely through their own quality were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

And what about Gan Daoliu?

The God-Bestowed Spirit Ring was his eighth ring, and the age absorbed at the time was only around seventy thousand years, less than eighty thousand.

And now, after passing the God Trial, his Soul Rings had only barely reached the level of seven black and two red.

Although the eighth ring was red, the age was only around one hundred and five thousand years, belonging to the lower limit of barely touching a one hundred thousand year Soul Ring after a series of God Trials.

Qian Daoliu could only sigh that it was fortunate such a talented youth was not an enemy of the Spirit Hall.

Otherwise, even with Qian Daoliu's mindset, upon learning that the Spirit Hall had an enemy with such exaggerated talent, he would certainly have felt restless and unable to sleep.

Compared to the current Zhou Heng, the three of them from the previous generation, who were called the strongest, were truly far inferior in terms of talent.

After all, facing a Twin Spirits user whose Soul Rings were all black ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, Qian Daoliu would never let the Spirit Hall come into conflict with the other party; he would definitely befriend them, and at the very worst, he would not make an enemy of them.

The current Zhou Heng perfectly meets these conditions.
