Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 664 The Changed World (Part 2)
One month later, Shrek City.

On this day, representatives from each faction gathered together.

Just half a month ago, they had all been invited by Chen Junting to discuss the future situation on the mainland.

Although the representatives of various forces were uneasy, they naturally dared not have the slightest objection when facing a god-king.

"I'm sure my invitation today has made you all a little uneasy, hasn't it?" Chen Junting walked to the front of the stage, dressed in casual robes. Apart from his otherworldly demeanor, he was no different from before.

"No, no, there's no unease."

The representative of the Sun and Moon Empire was the first to speak out.

After all, apart from their Sun Moon Empire, which originated from the Sun Moon Continent, all the other forces present belonged to the Douluo Continent and were of the same lineage. If Chen Junting, the God of Order, were willing, he could single-handedly conquer the entire Sun Moon Empire and let the various forces divide it up.

Faced with this possibility, the Sun Moon Empire cannot afford to be complacent.

Having discerned the intentions of the Sun Moon Empire's representative, Chen Junting, though somewhat dismissive, still made his promise.

"Rest assured. Now that I have become a god, I will not interfere in the conflicts between the four great empires and various forces from now on. Moreover, apart from me, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will remain neutral from now on, not favoring any empire. Whether the continent is divided or unified in the future, or who will unify it, will be the choice of the times."

Chen Junting's words directly defined his own character and that of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in front of the world, and also set the tone for the future of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

There may be some changes in the future, but probably not much.

Upon hearing this, the representative of the Sun Moon Empire immediately breathed a sigh of relief; for them, receiving such a promise from Chen Junting was enough. In contrast, the three major empires of the original Douluo Continent, and the forces bound to them, sighed inwardly.

Of course, they wouldn't dwell on it too much.

When the time comes, the outcome will depend on each person's abilities!

Taking in everyone's expressions, Chen Junting didn't care; to him, it was just a minor incident.

What he really wanted to promote was the following.

Once everyone's attention had returned to him, Chen Junting spoke again: "The main reason I've gathered you all here today is to promote something that will be done next."

"I want to build a power."

wow——

These words immediately caused a huge uproar.

Information about Tang Sect, Sea God Temple... flashed by one by one.

Immediately after realizing what was happening, they all turned their gazes toward Ning Bowen, the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, wanting to see what he thought. But Ning Bowen, who had been emboldened by Chen Junting, paid no attention and simply maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

"You don't need to be nervous."

Having anticipated their reaction, Chen Junting didn't keep them in suspense and directly gave his explanation: "The formation of this force is actually quite different from traditional forces. In general, the force I want to build is somewhat inclined towards the academy, but in reality, it is quite different from the academy."

"First, this force will be adapted from the organization we previously established to target evil spirit masters. In other words, it will both bear the obligation to combat evil spirit masters and belong to every force on the continent, not be an independent entity. Second, I will use this force as the center to create a path to godhood."

If the preceding remarks merely eased the tension, then the following sentence thoroughly excites the person.

The Path to Godhood!!!

What this means is self-evident, but how exactly does one become a god? This inevitably makes people wonder.

As a result, everyone below became eager to try.

"What exactly is the path to becoming a god?" Shrek's BeiBei spoke first, voicing the question on everyone's mind.

"of course."

Seeing that someone had taken the initiative to start the conversation, Chen Junting naturally followed suit. But before that, he wanted everyone to know one thing: the world had changed.

"I'm sure most of you here participated in that interdimensional war and know that the Demon Dimension has been devoured by our Douluo Dimension. However, many of you don't understand what benefits it will bring to have such a dimension devoured by our dimension."

"I'll tell you today. Once the energy and origin of the Demon Plane are completely absorbed by our Douluo Plane, then level 99 will no longer be the pinnacle of our Douluo Plane. Instead, level 100 will be the highest. Of course, there will only be level 100."

For a moment, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone was stunned by the news.

What does level 100 mean?
Means God!
They had already witnessed the power of God!

Everyone immediately became excited, but a few sharp-eyed ones caught the last sentence: "Only one hundred levels."

When someone asked this question, Chen Junting gave an answer. "There are differences between gods, just like between soul masters. Level 100 is just the starting point for gods, not the end. If you want to continue, you have to enter the God Realm. But the God Realm is not easy to enter; you have to obtain a godhood first. Of course, there is also a difference of one level in combat power between those who have a godhood and those who do not."

As he spoke, Chen Junting also poured cold water on the situation.

"Furthermore, although the boundary between level 99 and level 100 has been broken, it is extremely difficult to break through, hundreds of times more difficult than a Super Douluo breaking through to Limit Douluo at level 98! The reason I created this path to godhood is to strengthen the foundation of potential geniuses and increase their chances of breaking through to level 100."

"After all, you should all be very clear about the invasion of the demon plane. There are many planes in the vast universe, and eventually there will be planes that covet the life energy of our plane. There may even be god-level powerhouses in these planes. If we simply place the safety of a plane on the god realm or gods, it will ultimately be unstable. A plane must have the ability to protect itself. This is the first point."

Recalling the war between the planes and the actions Tang San took, everyone immediately felt that these words had struck a chord with them.

Even if your father has something, your mother has something, it's still not as good as having something yourself.

Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Chen Junting began to mention an even greater benefit, "Secondly, as you all know, planes can grow. Once a plane grows, not only will the difficulty of becoming a god in that plane decrease, but the upper limit of godhood can also be raised. At that point, whether or not one enters the God Realm will become irrelevant." And this was Chen Junting's purpose.

Although he has attained godhood and is about to ascend to the God Realm, it doesn't mean he has completely abandoned the Douluo Continent. In his heart, he still harbors the wish that the Douluo Continent could be transformed into a mortal realm of gods. Who wouldn't want their homeland to become more prosperous?

Of course, there is a big difference between making the people of the Douluo Continent do things passively and making them make their own choices actively.

Now, Chen Junting has laid his choice out in the open.

The result is self-evident.

Faced with the lure of enormous profits, no one refused.

Seeing that things were developing as he had predicted, Chen Junting offered two more suggestions. These were based on what would have happened in the original timeline during the Legend of the Dragon King era. Although things would change drastically ten thousand years from now, it was still necessary to plan ahead. Of course, this was also to bring forward the appearance of the Ultimate Douluo era.

First, it highlights the importance of life energy to a plane, and how the amount of life energy is closely related to the entire ecosystem, such as overexploitation of resources, population growth, and the plundering of other creatures. Once life energy drops to its lowest point, the plane will be destroyed.

Secondly, we must strengthen scientific research. We need to reinvest in higher-level soul-guided technology research. This includes not only weapons development but also space exploration. We should strive to find richer resources from other planets in space to improve our scientific research capabilities and vigorously develop soul-guided technology. This will also help alleviate the resource crisis and the inevitable population growth.

Both of these points were agreed upon by everyone.

As for the future...

Chen Junting felt that everything should be left to them.

In the days that followed, Chen Junting selected a location, and then all the major powers contributed money and effort to build a temple on the ruins of the Slaughter City—the Temple of Order, which combined the strongest architectural techniques with soul guidance technology.

The statue of the deity in Chenjun Pavilion also stands in the center of the hall.

Here, Chen Junting set up two teleportation arrays. One of them leads to the yet-to-be-built Path to Godhood; the other connects to the City of Slaughter and the Road to Hell.

As the God of Order, he has already shouldered the responsibility of suppressing evil. Therefore, in the Douluo Continent, he naturally needs a place to suppress evil, and the City of Slaughter is the most suitable.

However, the current City of Slaughter still needs some transformation, even though it has been reduced to ruins. After all, the City of Slaughter was originally a place of testing for the God of Asura, not a prison. And as a prison, a place where one can enter but not leave is the best place.

So, while the temple continued its preparations, Chen Junting tore through space and arrived at the ruins of the Slaughter City. His gaze fell upon a sky shrouded in darkness, and a blood moon...

Everything here seems to be the same as before.

Chen Junting didn't linger, he simply grabbed it with one hand!
In an instant, his palm reached the sky and transformed into a Dharma image that blotted out the sun. The spacetime power emanating from his palm completely paused and sealed off the entire City of Slaughter.

The next second, accompanied by a violent change in the wind and clouds, the City of Slaughter was actually raised directly from the ground by Chen Junting, including the Road to Hell and the buried Rakshasa Temple and Asura Temple.

However, his actions did not provoke Tang San to stop him.

Of course, even if Tang San's divine senses appeared as a result, or even if his true body descended to the mortal realm directly, Chen Junting was not afraid at all.

Under the influence of the power of spacetime, all the buildings in the City of Slaughter rapidly shrank, becoming as small as mustard seeds, and were absorbed into Chen Junting's palm. Now, all that remains is a void, with nothing but the blood moon in the sky.

With a flick of his finger, Chen Junting unleashed a series of array patterns that instantly spread from his fingertip. First, they covered the blood moon, and then, centered on the blood moon, they completely enveloped the entire alternate dimension.

From now on, this alternate dimension will become a gathering place for evil thoughts throughout the Douluo Continent, and a place of imprisonment for evil soul masters. The role of the Blood Moon here is like a server, both monitoring everything here and ensuring that rules that prevent the mobilization of any energy, spiritual power, or blood energy shroud this place.

However, since this cage is located below the Temple of Order, Chen Junting has another consideration: that is, he can use the power of the Temple of Order to better eliminate the evil thoughts here in the future.

After doing all this, Chen Junting left.

Next, he will begin to work on the path to godhood.

According to his plan, this path to godhood does not exist within the main plane of the Douluo Continent, but rather exists as smaller planes subordinate to it. He will use the power of a God-King to fuse existing smaller planes and places of opportunity, extracting ten key elements and using formations as the foundation to create an unprecedented trial path. He will begin with this, supplementing it after Ning Tian, ​​Gu Tianchen, and Huo Yuhao achieve godhood, setting up trials and laying out opportunities for future geniuses to compete for.

All of this starts with the very basics.

For example, the Killing City under his control.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Junting arrived at Giant Sword Mountain. The secret realm left behind by the angel god inside was a small plane. The tyrannical dragon that was being suppressed was no longer there, so there was no need to suppress anything anymore. Since it was a waste to leave it there, he might as well take it and use it.

So they grabbed it and took it.

Under the God King's immense power, the smaller planes were directly moved out of Giant Sword Mountain, no longer remaining in any specific location. Instead, they became like satellites in another space, orbiting the Douluo plane.

With a thought, Chen Junting entered the room.

He tossed aside the City of Slaughter he was holding.

Suddenly, the enormous building enveloped the sky.

Chen Junting simply raised his right hand, and countless array patterns completely enveloped the heavens and earth, then filled the entire small plane.

When everything settled down, a brand-new yet old and rustic small plane appeared before us, which also meant that the first hurdle on the path to godhood had been formed.

The themes here are blood and qi, and slaughter.

The future rivals of those prodigies will be those from the City of Slaughter, whose blood has been infused with the core of a minor plane by Chen Junting.

The blood has been detoxified by Chen Junting, becoming the purest form of vital energy. Under the influence of the formation, all methods except for vital energy and killing intent are forbidden here. This vital energy can transform into different forms, becoming the intruder's opponent, tempering their physique, and similarly, honing their killing intent. Only by passing through the final hellish path can one pass the first trial on the path to godhood.

With the first checkpoint completed, Chen Junting continued his journey, heading towards Qiankun Wenqing Valley on the Sun and Moon Continent.
