Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 682 Return; A Bold Proposal (Part Two)

Since the destruction of the Crimson Plane, Chen Junting has embarked on a new journey. However, there are very few energy planes that can reach the level of the Crimson Domain and are mainly developed through devouring.

Therefore, after the death of the Crimson Mother, he had few targets left. Even after a long period of time, only one God-King died at the hands of Chen Junting, representing the destruction of a divine realm.

"It's almost time to go back."

After taking control of the now-annexed divine realm's central hub, Chen Junting calculated the time in his mind. He realized that this cosmic journey had been quite long, and it was time to return.

Guided by the Douluo God Realm, Chen Junting chose a straight-line route back. However, he passed through several star systems along the way and discovered that these systems, which should have been ruled by the God Realm, were in a state of chaos and disorder, and the beings there could not sense the existence of the God Realm.

In fact, such cases are not uncommon.

This situation caused Chen Junting's heart to sink slightly.

He knew very well that the divine realms of these star systems had likely encountered spacetime turbulence. These divine realms were either directly destroyed by the impact of the spacetime turbulence or were swept up in it and forced to wander. And of those wandering ones, about ninety percent did not survive.

However, when Chen Junting encounters some broken god realms where all the gods have died, he will also take action to gather them up. Because these broken god realms are small in size, as long as the Immortal Slaughtering Array Diagram is rolled up, they will be incorporated into the mustard seed world within the array diagram.

After a long time, the star system ruled by the Douluo God Realm finally came into view. After activating the central hub of the Douluo God Realm, he entered the barrier of the God Realm in the next second.

Looking at the familiar scenery, I felt the ethereal energy.

"I am back."

Meanwhile, at this moment, in the center of the Divine Realm Council, a huge sphere of light emitted a soft glow, and the three gods who held the key to the central hub of the Divine Realm were constantly monitoring every part of the Divine Realm.

However, at the same moment Chen Junting returned, they immediately sensed the arrival of the God of Order's divine power and consciousness.

In an instant, Ning Tian's worries vanished, and the weary minds of the Goddess of Life and the God of Kindness were also jolted! After more than two thousand two hundred and twenty days, a God-King had finally returned!
Just as they were about to get up, "Whoosh—"

A golden light arrived at the main hall of the Divine Realm Committee, solidifying into a human figure. Chen Junting looked at the three Divine Kings who also bore heavy responsibilities, and especially when his gentle gaze fell on Ning Tian, ​​he said again, "I'm back."

"Welcome back, God-King of Order."

"It's good to be back safely."

The Goddess of Kindness and the Goddess of Life spoke one after the other, while Ning Tian stepped forward and gently tidied Chen Junting's travel-worn robes, saying, "I'll cook you a meal to welcome you back, and then you can get some rest. You've really worked hard."

Before Chen Junting could even respond, the Goddess of Life spoke again, "Leave it to us. We've been here for quite some time now, nothing unexpected will happen."

Since that's been the case, Chen Junting naturally didn't refuse. Besides, it had been so long, and he really missed Ning Tian. He could also take this opportunity to get some proper rest.

Of course, he also noticed the worry hidden in the eyes of the Goddess of Life and the God of Kindness. So he comforted them, "I've already returned, so the others should arrive around the same time."

Just as Chen Junting had predicted, a few days later, Electrolux, the God of Destruction, and Ji Dong returned to the God Realm one after another.

However, compared to Chen Junting and Ji Dong, who focused on acquiring energy, both Electrolux and the God of Destruction chose to take a different approach.

Even if we don't mention the energy plane, it's the same method.

However, when faced with a divine realm that needed to be annexed, perhaps because Electrolux had created a demiplane of the dead and had some experience in controlling similar planes, he did not simply use the Tree of Life to absorb the energy and celestial aura of that divine realm. Instead, he chose to directly take control of the divine realm's central hub and pull each divine realm back.

Moreover, during this journey, he also broke some of the materials and artifacts he acquired and reforged them, thus creating a brand new super artifact—the Tower of Eternity.

As for the God of Destruction, since the god realms he chose were mostly concentrated around the Douluo God Realm, therefore…

"I think it would be better to bring those three god realms, and the star systems they govern, under the command of our Douluo God Realm."

The seven god-kings gathered around the round table.

At this point, the God of Destruction also brought this up.

"To be incorporated into our divine realm..."

Upon hearing this, the other six god-kings present fell silent.

After a moment, Chen Junting spoke first. However, he didn't immediately offer his opinion, but instead posed the question to the wisest elder, "Teacher, what do you think?"

"I think so."

After some deliberation, Electrox first agreed with the God of Destruction's viewpoint, affirming, "The power of faith is crucial for the development of the divine realm. The more star systems it governs, the more beneficial it is to the divine realm. However…"

Now that we've covered the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages.

"The divine realm is currently at a critical juncture of survival. In times of peace, we could let time wear us down. But now, what should we do with the beliefs of those star systems?"

This may seem small, even insignificant, but for a vast realm of gods, even the smallest hidden danger must be addressed. Otherwise, a thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole.

"If it's about accelerating the demise of existing beliefs, then I have an idea: let them resolve it internally."

Suddenly, Ji Dong offered a suggestion.

"An internal solution? What kind of solution? Explain."

"For a power that reveres faith, other faiths can be considered heretics. This is not only a conflict of faiths, but also a conflict of interests. Therefore, in order to solve the faith problem, we can support some geniuses who do not believe in the original gods of the divine realm, make them gods, no, or even just have priests, and then let them create their own faiths. In this way, through this ebb and flow, the original faiths will lose all support and thus lose their followers. This process may be completed in less than a year in the divine realm."

"Okay, good idea."

This solution was immediately approved by the other God-Kings. Except for the Goddess of Life who was slightly reluctant, Ji Dong's proposal was unanimously approved by the God-Kings.

Next, a series of almost chilling resolutions were reached within the Divine Realm Council. Until the very last point…

"Regarding the expansion of the divine realm."

As soon as the topic came up, Chen Junting flipped his palm, and a small tree of life swayed in his hand. Electrox, the God of Destruction, and Ji Dong did the same.

Everyone present could clearly feel the immense energy contained within these four saplings of life.

"Leave it to me."

The Goddess of Life simply waved her hand, and four saplings floated to her side. "These energies are ultimately chaotic, a mixture of celestial energy and different energies, and need to be sorted out."

"I will plant these four saplings at the four extremes of the divine realm, and then use the power of the ancient tree of life to filter and sublimate them. In this way, they can be transformed into pure immortal spiritual energy and poured into the entire divine realm in a stable manner."

"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to the Goddess of Life." Since the Goddess of Life had said so, Chen Junting went along with it and finalized the decision, but the latter part of the resolution was the key.

"Besides the energy absorbed by the Tree of Life, there are also the divine realm cores I acquired. These are not attached to the divine realm, and I will integrate them into the divine realm later. As for some fragments of the divine realm, please consider how to handle them."

With the opening of the Heavenly Eye, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram slowly drifted down.

When the array diagram was placed over the round table, the gods saw continental plates floating within the array's mustard seed world. These continental plates were composed of celestial energy, clearly fragments of the divine realm, and their numbers were considerable.

"How can there be so many fragments of the divine realm?"

The God of Kindness was taken aback and then instinctively asked a question.

Ning Tian, ​​who had been frowning, picked up the conversation at the right moment, "These divine realms must have been destroyed by external forces. Could it be..." A glint flashed in her eyes, clearly indicating that she had thought of something, "They probably encountered a spacetime turbulence. In other words... the spacetime turbulence has already swept over from the area experienced by the God of Order!"

By the end, Ning Tian's eyes had widened.

She immediately cast a reproachful glance at Chen Junting, as if blaming him for not telling her about it when he came back a few days ago.

This is equivalent to narrowly missing a moment in the spacetime turbulence!
Too dangerous!

The other God-Kings also realized this, but after seeing Ning Tian's gaze, only Ilex said something more. Then they temporarily changed the subject and focused on the spacetime turbulence.

"Will the spacetime turbulence arrive ahead of schedule?" With a deep voice, the God of Destruction's blood-red eyes flashed with worry.

"Not really."

Chen Junting's affirmative answer was like a shot of adrenaline, stabilizing the gods. "Although this spacetime turbulence is extremely powerful, its flow is also very chaotic, affecting almost the entire universe. Just like the neighboring God Realm will encounter spacetime turbulence today, but when it comes to us, we will have to wait for the spacetime turbulence to take a detour and come back, which may have taken a thousand years."

"Therefore, there is still plenty of time to consolidate the divine realm."

"That's good."

After letting out a slight sigh of relief, the God of Destruction turned his gaze back to the fragments of the divine realm within the Immortal Slaughtering Formation. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and an idea formed in his mind.

"By the way, why don't we select some fragments of the divine realm that are connected or similar in aura, and then use a divine realm hub to fuse them into one, forming a piecemeal divine realm?"

Immediately, the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

To create a divine realm?
What's the purpose?
why?
"Why waste so much time and effort on destruction?"

Despite the dissuasion, the God of Destruction offered his own perspective.

"I want these smaller divine realms to collide and merge with our divine realm! Instead of simply devouring the immortal energy and the central core of the divine realm to make the divine realm grow stronger."

Who would have thought that as soon as this idea was put forward,

"no!"

The goddess of life's expression changed drastically, "This is too dangerous!"

This kind of "bumper car" behavior, if not handled carefully, could cause huge casualties in the God Realm, or even lead to its destruction. Even though the Douluo God Realm is extremely large, this possibility is not impossible.

Too risky!

"Life will be alright..."

The God of Destruction tried to dissuade her again, but the Goddess of Life refused once more. Why choose a risky path when there's a safer way?

"It's because of the power of chaos, isn't it?"

At this moment, Chen Junting guessed the reason why the God of Destruction made this choice. Because the collision of the divine realms was, in a sense, a massive explosion, undoubtedly a great act of creation.

The most precious of these is undoubtedly the power of chaos, because the power of chaos can only be generated under such circumstances.

This kind of energy is coveted by any god or divine realm.

Unfortunately, the power of chaos is truly rare.

So now that an opportunity was within reach, the God of Destruction, dedicated to developing the divine realm, naturally wouldn't easily let it slip by. And the Goddess of Life, as his wife, knew him well enough to understand his true purpose the moment he spoke. However, she didn't explain why.

After all, this kind of thing is risky, but also has great benefits.

She was afraid that the other god-kings would also agree.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as the goddess of life had predicted.

When Chen Junting's conjecture was confirmed by the God of Destruction, aside from the more conservative God of Good and God of Evil, the God of Death, Ilex, showed interest, and Chen Junting also revealed a hint of interest. As for Ning Tian…

Leaving aside the fact that she almost sided with Chen Junting, even back in the Douluo Continent, she championed development and leaned towards the more aggressive approach. So, in the God Realm, faced with the same issue of development, and having to choose between conservatism and radicalism, she would naturally lean towards the more aggressive option.

Therefore, even if the goddess of life disagreed, the radical proposal was ultimately adopted in the end, given the result of four against three.

"Don't worry about my life."

To the worried Goddess of Life, Chen Junting offered words of comfort.

"I have already decided with the power of fate. As long as we first integrate the other divine realm centers into our divine realm, and integrate all the energy and the remaining fragments of the divine realm before taking measures to cause a collision between the divine realms, the four small divine realms will not be a problem at all. In fact, for the current divine realm, apart from causing a temporary overall turmoil, there will be no surprises or dangers."

After all, being radical is not the same as courting death.

"That's fine."

Since that's what she said, the goddess of life stopped pressuring her.

He simply said, "Safety comes first in everything."

"of course."

Upon hearing this, Chen Junting nodded, and then said:
"Now that everything that needs to be said has been said, let's stop here for today. The Divine Realm Committee will immediately draft a notice to inform everyone of the agreed-upon matters. In addition, we can also let some information about the spacetime turbulence to prevent any unrest at the last minute."

"Good!" ×6
