Chapter 367: Divine Star (Grand Finale)
The God Realm immediately began preparations in full swing.
The God of Life, accompanied by the God of Space, arrived once again outside Douluo Star to inform Shi Quan of the God Realm's decision and to discuss subsequent matters with him.
Life and Space remained directly on Douluo Star and began their busy work.
The God of Space continuously established Space Nodes on Douluo Star that connected to the God Realm.
Three years later, Douluo Star.
Nearly one hundred Space Nodes connected to the God Realm erupted simultaneously with brilliant pillars of light, forming a massive Polygon Array.
People across the entire Douluo Continent could see the sky turn illusory, then stabilize, revealing a magnificent scene as if a world were hanging in the air.
They had seen this scene before, but it was different, because the world hanging there this time was the God Realm.
This world was more gorgeous, more majestic, and it radiated waves of terrifying pressure.
Life manifested her true form; a massive Ancient Tree of Life grew out on Douluo Star. "Boom!" A massive golden pillar of light erupted from the world in the sky, piercing through space and clouds, straight into the Ancient Tree of Life on Douluo Star.
Life used herself as a conduit to transfer the power of the God Realm into Douluo.
The Faith Power accumulated by the God Realm over countless years poured in continuously and then fed back to the surroundings. "Whoosh!" The energy was so overwhelming that it stirred up monstrous waves on the sea surface during its diffusion, and the golden light spread outward like surging tides.
Wherever it passed, all life felt a sense of physical sublimation and total comfort throughout their bodies.
As time passed bit by bit, the surface of Douluo Star was soon rendered in bright gold.
Half of this energy was directly absorbed by Shi Quan into his own Sea of Consciousness World; the power of both Douluo Star and the Sea of Consciousness World began to climb crazily.
Under normal circumstances, the God Realm could not be moved because it was attached to such vast and immense power that even if the Five Great God Kings acted together, they could not shake the God Realm in the slightest.
But as the power of the God Realm was continuously integrated, the power of the God Realm became weaker, and only then could the God Realm be moved and relocated by the gods.
Time passed slowly; after several decades, much of the scenery in the aerial world became illusory, leaving only a lush, verdant continent.
"Is this the original appearance of the God Realm?" Shi Quan raised his eyes to look at the sky.
One could see a massive spatial array opening in the sky; the continent passed through the spatial array and slowly descended like a meteorite, entering the space above Douluo Star, bit by bit, until it finally entered completely.
Shi Quan's figure immediately soared into the air, and his massive Divine Sense completely enveloped this continent.
The continent slowly shrank and finally merged into the center of Shi Quan's brow.
Only a God Realm Core radiating nine-colored light remained, slowly merging into Douluo Star.
Taking the God Realm continent into the Sea of Consciousness World was the best solution at present.
The size of the God Realm continent was larger than the combined area of all the continents on Douluo Star; if such a large continent were to fall onto the sea, the displacement of the seawater would likely submerge all the other continents directly.
By incorporating it into the Sea of Consciousness World, Shi Quan could not only properly settle it, but he would also feed back the energy contained within it; as for the one hundred and eight Mind Power Pillars inside, Shi Quan naturally accepted them without hesitation.
The integration of the God Realm was only the beginning; subsequently, Shi Quan would use his own world as the Underworld and gradually expand to the remaining one hundred and seven worlds.
With the integration of the God Realm, Douluo Star also achieved rapid development.
The Golden Dragon King, who had been sealed in the God Realm, was also released. The intent of destruction within it was forcibly erased by Shi Quan and the others, and the consciousness of the Golden Dragon King was also destroyed and merged into the body of the Silver Dragon King.
However, the Dragon God did not immediately revive because the Silver Dragon King could not perfectly control these two powers for the time being, and they remained in an independent state relative to each other. If one day in the future she could fuse these two powers, the Dragon God could truly revive. Of course, if forced to fuse, the Dragon God would also revive, but it would only be that crazy Dragon God who had started the Great War of the God Realm back then.
At one point, in the great hall.
"The Spirit Master cultivation system of this world was influenced by the bloodline aura of the gods who died in the God Realm war back then; it requires hunting Spirit Beasts to obtain Soul Rings in order to make a Breakthrough, which in my view, is extremely deformed."
"Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy of this world was not rich before, and the energy could not satisfy the needs for breaking through barriers, coupled with the limited lifespan of humans. Now that this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy is abundant, both Spirit Beasts and humans are constantly receiving energy feedback, and their lifespans have greatly increased; this system should also be discarded."
"From now on, the energy required for breaking through barriers can be drawn directly from between Heaven and Earth."
"Therefore, in a while, I plan to erase the rule that Spirit Beasts produce Soul Rings after death."
"External abilities are, after all, not one's own. I do not wish for this deformed system to become a shackle restricting the development of the new God Realm in the future. Regardless of the skill, its essence is the application of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. What I hope to see is the continuous creation of new cultivation techniques and new teachable skills."
"As an example, I will disseminate my cultivation techniques and methods for practicing skills for the world to learn from and use as reference."
"By gathering the wisdom of the billions of living beings on the planet, with a hundred flowers blooming in terms of application methods, there will always be something to learn from. This is also extremely beneficial for us gods."
The Beast Gods in the great hall were extremely excited upon hearing this; without the Soul Ring system, the living space for Spirit Beasts would definitely be greatly improved.
"However, the resources of a planet are always limited, even if Douluo Star has now ascended to the God Realm," Shi Quan continued. "Just like before, if disputes occur between Spirit Beasts and humans below level 100, we must not intervene at will."
The God of Destruction spoke at this time: "The biggest problem with the resources of the God Realm is not the Lower Realm, but the number of godships. In addition to those ascending from the Lower Realm, offspring are also born between godships. Although it is difficult for godships to reproduce, they have infinite lifespans. As time goes on, the number will eventually break the limits. And when the number of gods increases, the spiritual energy of the God Realm will gradually become thin with consumption, eventually leading to the exhaustion of spiritual energy. To maintain it, expansion is inevitable; this was also the problem the God Realm faced before."
"Indeed, so I believe expansion is inevitable," Shi Quan nodded in agreement. "But we cannot expand blindly. We can periodically dispatch gods to explore new planets outside the universe. When encountering certain planets that are still in a barbaric state, gods need to go and station themselves there to guide them, which can also be considered as developing Faith for oneself. And with Faith, the God Realm will naturally strengthen accordingly."
"As we are gods, we must shoulder the responsibilities of gods. The gods cannot leave the Lower Realm to its own devices. Those who are gods should seek welfare for the people. While residing in the God Realm and enjoying the cultivation resources provided by the God Realm, one should also contribute to the development of the God Realm."
"Of course, if one wants to leave, as long as the contribution is sufficient and the debt of cultivation by the God Realm is repaid, the God Realm will not force them to stay. If a God Position is vacant, it is vacant; there are billions upon billions of living beings in the Lower Realm, and there will always be suitable ones. But once out of the God Realm, if they bring disaster to a region, the God Realm will naturally exterminate them."
"We can discuss the specific details later."
"According to what Xiao Quan said before, isn't this just a typical wage earner?" Zhu Zhuqing smiled inwardly from the side.
The God Realm had abundant energy; cultivating here was fast and safe, and there was even an almost endless life, equivalent to a cultivation holy land within the system. As long as there were no major mistakes, it was definitely a holy land for retirement.
But if it were outside the universe, that would be a different concept.
Just like the saying in the 'Fortress Besieged', those inside the city want to get out, and those outside want to get in.
The gods might get tired of staying in the future and want to leave, but outside, there are plenty of people who want to get in.
Regarding this, the gods could not help but fall silent, but for the development of the God Realm, letting the gods contribute seemed to be a matter of course.
"There is also a punishment mechanism for godships. I suggest using the Underworld Reincarnation as a substitute. If gods commit mistakes, they must taste all the sufferings of the human world through the Underworld Reincarnation; for minor offenses, nine lifetimes of reincarnation, and for major ones, falling into Hell, consuming their Divine Power to feed back into the God Realm, and suffering for all eternity!"
"In addition to the expansion of the God Realm, the Underworld world needs to expand simultaneously. Besides Faith Power, the spirits of all things are also a force that cannot be underestimated. The God Realm is Yang, and the Underworld is Yin. Yin and Yang are one; they nourish each other and will also improve together."
The power of the God Realm was divided among the gods, while the Underworld itself was entirely Shi Quan's own power. In other words, even if the gods of the God Realm became stronger, they would never be Shi Quan's match!
But they also had to admit that this path of the Reincarnation Underworld could be said to maximize the absorption of power from various worlds, even higher than the improvement brought by Faith Power. If they wanted to give it up, they were reluctant.
They could only agree, hoping to find a way to replace it in the future and pursue balance.
It was just a pity that once they agreed, how could Shi Quan give them a chance to replace him?
After a month-long discussion, the new management regulations for the God Realm were quickly formulated and promulgated.
Among the gods, there were naturally some complaints, but they had to execute them.
Although there were many complaints, the effect after implementation was surprisingly good.
The new Duo Luo God Realm soon stepped onto the right track.
Following the opening of one hundred and seven subordinate planetary planes, Shi Quan used the Duo Luo God Realm to establish connections between the Sea of Consciousness World and these subordinate planets one by one; as the connections were established, the Sea of Consciousness World, which had appeared somewhat empty due to the transformation of Douluo Star, soon began to fill up.
The Underworld of the Sea of Consciousness World had its important duties controlled by the Soul Spirits within Shi Quan's body, and one of Shi Quan's avatars sat in command there personally.
The gods were also dispatched out one by one.
With the appropriate intervention of the gods, the lives of the creatures in the Lower Realm were improved significantly to a certain extent, and their Faith in the God Realm also became much purer.
After a series of processes passed, without realizing it, ten thousand years of time in the Lower Realm had passed, which was merely twenty-plus years in the God Realm.
The Underworld had thoroughly spread across all the Lower Realms controlled by the Duo Luo God Realm.
"The aura of the Time-Space Turbulence is becoming clearer and clearer. The God Realm exploration team is ready to explore, and we must also make preparations on our side," the voice of the God of Destruction came.
If Shi Quan remembered correctly, the God Realms swept into the Space-Time Storm were not just the Duo Luo God Realm, but others as well.
Moreover, the number of Space-Time Storms was not just one.
In the coming period of time, the universe would experience a series of great disasters; numerous Space-Time Storms would appear, many plane God Realms would shatter, and some stronger God Realms would barely resist but still be swept away.
When a God Realm is destroyed or swept away, all the planets under it will be in a brief period of vacancy, which is undoubtedly the best time for the God Realm to expand.
Without the obstruction of other God Realms, opening up other planets becomes easy.
And other God Realms that have lost the support of these world powers, even if they can escape from the Time-Space Turbulence, will become weak because they lack the supply of Faith Power from the Lower Realm planets.
A move to draw the firewood from under the cauldron, directly cutting off the retreat of these God Realms.
When the time comes, swallow them all in one go and use them all to supply Douluo Star; the Duo Luo God Realm will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
If one can obtain Chaos Power, then advancing to a God Star is absolutely certain.
"Rest assured, everything is almost ready," Shi Quan chuckled, and as if sensing something, he raised his eyes to look toward the universe.
The universe not far outside Douluo Star suddenly darkened, and a thunder-like roar resounded in the high sky; in that instant, the light of the sun was completely blocked by darkness. A huge pressure that made one unable to breathe permeated the universe.
Shi Quan reached out and grabbed, and a wisp of gray airflow emerged in the universe; the next second, this wisp of gray airflow seemed to encounter a huge suction force and descended from the sky, merging into Douluo Star.
"Holding the sun and moon in my hand, plucking the stars; in this world, there is no one like me. I did not expect that I, this old man, could still have a wisp of remnant soul remain."
A very blurry figure appeared before Shi Quan and the others, and an aged voice rang out with an indescribable majesty.
"What are you putting on airs for?" Destruction's eyes surged with the intent of destruction as he scrutinized the figure before him, "Be careful, or I will directly extinguish this remnant soul of yours!"
The aged figure trembled violently, only then realizing that he seemed to have arrived at a very terrifying place.
"His aura is not from our world; he is someone who controlled a planet in another God Realm," the God of Life's eyes lit up slightly.
"Indeed, the power of this remnant soul is not bad, and there should be many good things within it; we can also learn about the power of planets in other God Realms," Shi Quan waved his hand and directly took him into the Underworld.
In the current Douluo, Dai Mubai has no descendants at all, let alone Huo Yuhao; however, this Eliakesi actually still came to Douluo Star, clearly attracted by the powerful energy of Douluo Star.
Another few days later.
Everyone finally saw the Space-Time Storm that was approaching the original God Realm.
"Success or failure depends on this one move! Charge!" Shi Quan took the lead, bringing Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, the God of Destruction, the God of Life, the Silver Dragon King, the God of Goodness, and the God of Evil to charge into the Space-Time Storm together!
"World Projection!" In Shi Quan's Sea of Consciousness World, under the combined efforts of the gods, they directly broke through the Space-Time Storm; the shattered Space-Time Storm immediately released a large amount of Chaos Qi and Chaos Matter, and the gods then quickly collected them.
According to Shi Quan's speculation, these Space-Time Storms were very likely caused by a massive upheaval in a very powerful plane, or even a huge disaster, leading to the collapse of this plane and thereby forming the Space-Time Storm.
And because of the vast energy within that plane, the Space-Time Storm was strengthened, eventually turning into countless Space-Time Storms rampaging through the universe.
Ordinary God Realms could not absorb this energy, but Shi Quan gathered the power of all the gods to forcibly absorb these forces.
With these higher-level energies, Douluo Star also had hope for improvement.
Many years later, the worlds under the Duo Luo God Realm had multiplied several times, and the number of small planetary worlds ruled had reached a staggering thousand!
At the same time, they had also plundered the energy of multiple Space-Time Storms.
"Merge!" As countless cosmic energies poured into the Star Core and blended with the internal Chaos Qi, a vast aura rippled out.
"It's a success; the God Realm Star Core has begun to sublimate," the gods were wild with joy.
"It was not in vain that we worked so hard to manage and expand the Lower Realms for so many years," a god said with a wry smile; they had truly put in a lot of effort.
"No matter what, it is worth it." With the promotion of the God Realm, everyone has a brighter future.
Douluo Star advanced to a God Star, and the whole star celebrated!
At night, on the large bed in the bedroom.
"Xiao Quan, now that the God Star has been promoted, should we consider having a child?" Ye Lingling leaned into Shi Quan's embrace.
"We can."
"Sisters, then we shall rely on our own abilities!" Ye Lingling chuckled, and three more beautiful figures appeared in the room.
"Sister Xue'er, what are you doing here?" Shi Quan looked at Qian Renxue before him, his expression stunned!
"I have already received the approval of the three sisters!" Qian Renxue wore a smile on her face and pounced directly!
"Wait... slow down!"
