Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 683 The Nine God-Kings Gather (Part 2)

Once the seven members of the Divine Realm Council reached a complete consensus, they informed each deity of their decision and the impending arrival of a spacetime turbulence.

These two pieces of news immediately caused a huge uproar.

Initially, the entire divine realm was gripped by panic due to the impending spacetime turbulence. However, with the assurances and reassurances from the divine realm committee, coupled with the passage of time, the panic subsided, and people had more time to discuss the issues.

As a result, another huge uproar was stirred up.

Because both the advantages and disadvantages are obvious.

While the fusion of collision versions can unleash greater potential in the divine realm, the risks are also extremely high, even posing a risk of annihilation.

This led to complaints from conservative deities, and even radical deities felt that the behavior was too radical.

You should know, spacetime turbulence is coming!
Playing such a big game, aren't you afraid of something going wrong?
This situation was actually already under consideration by the group of god-kings. To avoid any wrangling and buck-passing, the God Realm Committee, after reaching a consensus, took a dictatorial approach and forcefully pushed forward the plan.

Now, even if they have any objections, they have to keep them to themselves!

To minimize the risk of a collision, the seven God-Kings of the God Realm Committee began strengthening the foundation of the Douluo God Realm. As for the four smaller God Realms, they were completely irrelevant; since all the beings within them had already perished, their disappearance during the process wouldn't matter.

Driven by the Divine Realm Committee, it wasn't long before the gods and beings of the divine realm suddenly felt the density of the divine aura gradually increasing. Furthermore, anyone looking up at the dome could see the divine realm's barrier continuously thickening.

Immediately, the gods forgot their complaints.

Since we can't change anything anyway, let's seize the opportunity to "enjoy" it! The immortal energy is so abundant; it's the perfect opportunity for cultivation and breakthroughs. Moreover, the speed and intensity of the God Realm's growth are clearly visible, and the actual changes undoubtedly give them enough confidence to cope with disasters.

In the current divine realm, a portion of the immortal energy continuously transformed from the four swaying saplings of life has been allocated to the gods and beings of the divine realm for cultivation, enabling many lower-level officials and gods to achieve breakthroughs.

Unbeknownst to them, Chen Junting sat firmly on the Divine Realm Committee, manipulating the sphere of light before him, occasionally merging together individual, sometimes complete, sometimes broken, points of light, or rather, smaller spheres of light. This caused the large sphere of light—no, it should be said, the central hub of the Douluo Divine Realm—to continuously grow stronger.

Even if the degree of this improvement is very limited.

As for outside the Douluo God Realm, the collected fragments of the God Realm, guided by the divine power of the other God Kings, began to gradually approach the Douluo God Realm barrier.

Because they were no longer protected by the original central power of the God Realm, Chen Junting, multitasking, opened a breach in the barrier of the God Realm to accommodate these fragments, making them a part of the Douluo God Realm. Simultaneously, their energy and rules were instantly assimilated by the Douluo God Realm.

In an instant, the entire Douluo God Realm began to develop in a positive direction.

Until one hundred days later…

"Old Chen, what do you want with us here?"

At Chen Junting's summons, Gu Tianchen stopped his cultivation and headed to the outer realm. However, as soon as he set foot in the universe, he discovered that he wasn't the only one being searched for; Huo Yuhao was also there.

"Of course, it's to help you consolidate your strength."

With a flick of his wrist, a ball of light appeared in Chen Junting's palm, immediately causing Gu Tianchen and the other man to widen their eyes in surprise.

"The Central Hub of the Divine Realm!"

Huo Yuhao exclaimed in surprise, simultaneously silencing the sound Gu Tianchen was about to utter. He then shifted his gaze from the Divine Realm's central hub to Chen Junting, pointing at the sphere of light with a clear meaning: "Is this the consolidation you're talking about?!"
"You all know about that resolution, right?"

Instead of answering immediately, Chen Junting shifted the topic back to the resolution made a hundred days ago.

"How could you not know?"

"But isn't that too risky?"

Huo Yuhao and Gu Tianchen had already received information from their respective predecessors about what would happen when the gods clashed, so their views naturally leaned towards conservatism.

"Don't worry, it's not risky."

Chen Junting tapped the third eye between his eyebrows and said with great certainty, "I have carefully calculated with the power of destiny that as long as the Douluo God Realm can digest all the existing resources, the explosion caused by the collision of the four small god realms will not cause any trouble."

Having said all that, Huo Yuhao and Gu Tianchen naturally chose to believe them. After all, this was no laughing matter, and Brother Junting (Old Chen) and the others couldn't possibly be careless about this.

So since nothing happened, they stopped worrying about it.

But is this topic truly related to consolidation?
"Of course."

As the Immortal Slaughtering Formation unfolded, the remaining fragments in the Mustard Seed World that were relatively connected in their auras were revealed before the two of them.

“Old Gu, although the divine realm hub in my hand is intact, the divine realm region and most of the immortal spiritual energy have been shattered. Some have disappeared, some have merged into our divine realm, and some have even perished directly.”

"So what you need to do is use your spatial laws to 'glue' the remaining fragments of the divine realm together, use this divine realm hub to control it, and then you yourself will also take charge of this divine realm hub and its newly formed divine realm until the collision of the divine realms is completed."

Is this difficult?

Hard!

Simply opening up a vast territory wouldn't be difficult for a first-level deity. However, completing the aforementioned "technical task" significantly increases the difficulty.

However, Gu Tianchen suddenly became interested!
Disaster?
It’s right to be difficult!

I'm always happy to take on challenging tasks!
Moreover, he is the God of Space, and the benefits to him if he succeeds are self-evident. In addition, by taking charge of the central hub of the divine realm, he can completely utilize the central hub for cultivation.

It is extremely beneficial, and accelerating the breakthrough to God King is no longer a dream!

"Of course, because this matter is difficult, it can't be left entirely to you alone. So Yuhao, you'll also be involved. Once you've completed it, I'll give you a divine realm to govern on your behalf."

Huo Yuhao was taken aback at first, then subconsciously replied:

"besides!?"

"That's what you said."

Chen Junting waved his hand generously, and three more orbs of light appeared before the two of them. "Yuhao, I'll give you these three to see which one suits you best, just pick one. But I have one request: break through to the God King realm as soon as possible. How about it, confident?"

In order to ensure that each of the four smaller divine realms is under the control of a God-King, the number of God-Kings at the God Realm Committee must maintain an absolute advantage, so all nine God-King seats must be filled. Looking across the entire God Realm, only Gu Tianchen and Huo Yuhao have the ability and talent to quickly break through to the God-King level.

Of course, Rong Nianbing had already taken the opportunity to break through to the God King realm. However, he had already relinquished his godhood, and in a sense, his connection with the central authority of the Douluo God Realm was somewhat diminished. Unless Gu Tianchen and Huo Yuhao were truly unable to break through to the God King realm in time, Rong Nianbing could only be considered as a backup option, not a must-have.

"confidence?"

Gu Tianchen stretched out his palm, and the sphere of light and the Immortal Slaughtering Array Diagram floated into his hand through Chen Junting's transfer. The moment his lips curled into a full smile, he exclaimed, "I don't need this at all!"

"Old Chen, just you wait and see!"

His tone was so bold that it was clear he was very confident.

The same goes for Huo Yuhao.

However, compared to Gu Tianchen, his tone was slightly more modest, but he was just as confident, with an air of self-assurance.

"Well."

Chen Junting smiled slightly, "I'll leave it to you."

As it turns out, Chen Junting's approach was correct.

Through their combined efforts, a small divine realm was finally formed. Although it was a "pieced-together" version, it was enough.

While this divine realm was being nurtured by the power of the Douluo God Realm, Gu Tianchen and Huo Yuhao each took control of the central hub of a smaller divine realm. Then, with the help of the central hub's power, they consolidated their gains during this period. Amidst the cleansing of the rich immortal energy, their comprehension of the power of laws, and the sublimation of their faith, five hundred days before the arrival of the spacetime turbulence, the two achieved their final breakthrough!
"Om-"

What should have been a peaceful day was suddenly disrupted by a dramatic change in the dome of the divine realm. This unexpected turn of events left most of the gods bewildered. Then, the dome was divided into two parts: one silver and one seven-colored, as two vast waves of divine thought swept over them!

On the silvery side, the void trembled.

Spatial rifts were easily torn apart, but they did not endanger the divine realm in the slightest. In the next second, these spatial rifts suddenly converged into one place, transforming into a vast silver ocean.

Immediately afterwards, "Roar—"

With a dragon's roar, a huge bone dragon broke through the silver ocean composed of spatial power and rushed straight into the sky. Just before it crashed into the dome, the bone dragon dissipated from top to bottom, leaving only Gu Tianchen's figure standing there.

At the same time, a majestic divine thought proclaimed throughout the entire divine realm.

"I am the God of Space, and from this day forward I shall be the King of Gods!"

At the very moment the sound faded, the once tranquil, multicolored sky underwent a transformation. Seven illusory figures of varying shapes occupied half of the sky, drawing the thoughts of the gods.

A beautiful mermaid gracefully makes her entrance, opening her voice to sing and drawing the blue waves to play a joyful chapter; a cold aura rises, and a woman in a green dress, carrying anger, breaks through the clouds, standing proudly on the ice mountain, like a giant scorpion overlooking the frost and snow.
On the iceberg where the woman in the green dress stood, a seed quietly fell, breaking through the ice layer amidst the frost and snow, and sprouted a small, ice-blue grass with eight-pointed leaves, exuding a sorrow that seemed to pity the lifeless creatures beneath the ice and snow; but when a three-eyed fox quietly leaped out, her nine tails brushing past, the ice and snow instantly melted, and the creatures that should have been dormant were awakened once more, the streams gurgled, the fish leaped joyfully, and the birds returned to the forest, singing joyful but disordered yet natural melodies.

Until the clouds surged, a single eye looked down from the sky, the eerie light in its pupil carrying an unprecedentedly strong hatred, causing the leaden clouds to press down overhead; and the sea lion covered in frost came cutting through the waves, the black tide seemed to dye the surging ocean black, the enormous evil thought brought the feeling of "black clouds pressing down and the city about to collapse", and brought the ominous feeling to its peak.

But the next second, a large, snow-white worm covered with ten golden stripes appeared, and all the dark clouds and inky tides vanished. Under the glow of love, everything was swept away, truly a sight to behold, "its armor gleaming in the sun, its golden scales opening."

Now, these seven illusory figures are like seven dragons guarding a pearl, and in the center of them, Huo Yuhao's figure has quietly emerged.

"I am the God of Emotions, and from this day forward I shall be the King of Gods!"

At this moment, Chen Junting and the other seven God-Kings had gathered at the God Realm Committee. Two streams of light descended from the dome, landing on the last two vacant seats, thus completing their respective occupancy.

"Congratulations, God King of Space, God King of Emotions!"

Chen Junting was the first to offer his congratulations, followed closely by the other six God Kings. For a moment, the sounds of congratulations were endless.

After the two newly crowned God-Kings completed their respective procedures, the next step was the clash between the five God Realms. This was to obtain the power of chaos to enhance the development potential of the Douluo God Realm and to prepare for the massive spacetime turbulence that would occur in 500 days. However, before all actions could begin…

"You don't have any super artifacts yet, do you?"

Suddenly, Chen Junting brought up this topic.

"Super artifact..."

The two naturally answered "indeed".

As the two who inherited their divine positions, their divine artifacts were inherited from their predecessors. However, the previous God of Space did not possess one, and although Rong Nianbing did, she passed on a different divine artifact to Huo Yuhao. After all, super divine artifacts are not something one can obtain easily, so it is understandable that they were not passed on.

"It won't work without a super artifact."

It seems they had been prepared for this for a long time.
With two flashes of light, the Crimson Moon Blade of the Crimson Mother appeared in Chen Junting's hand. He then broke it into six divine artifacts, and subsequently added four more, making a total of ten.

"A clash between gods is no simple matter, and it puts immense pressure on god-kings. Furthermore, since you are all newly ascended god-kings, the lack of a super artifact for protection is extremely disadvantageous for you. Therefore, while there is still time, you must quickly forge your own super artifacts. And I happen to have the materials here."

Without giving them a chance to refuse, Chen Junting divided the ten divine artifacts in two and stuffed them into the hands of the two men.

Upon seeing this, the God of Destruction, Electrolux, and Ji Dong each took out a divine artifact and gave it to Gu Tianchen and Ji Dong.

To be honest, after the looting, Chen Junting and his companions had quite a few divine artifacts. In fact, this was after a distribution, and apart from the two newly promoted God Kings, Gu Tianchen and Huo Yuhao, each of them had at least two.

As the God of Order, Chen Junting possesses the Order Divine Sword, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and the Order Divine Armor; Ning Tian, ​​the God of Love, possesses the Red Embroidered Ball and the Crimson Scepter given to her by Chen Junting; Ilex, the God of Necromancy, possesses the Necromancy Scepter and the Tower of Eternity; the God of Destruction, in addition to the Destruction Scepter, also has a pair of Demon Hooks; the God of Evil has gained the Soul-Destroying Bell, and he himself has inherited the Scales of Judgment. As for the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Kindness… their husbands naturally wouldn't be without them, so in addition to the Ancient Tree of Life and the Heart of Kindness they already possessed, the two God-Kings were each given the Dew Bottle and the Yang God Sword.

Therefore, after seeing what the seven god-kings displayed, Gu Tianchen and Huo Yuhao no longer refused and were assigned six and seven respectively, so that they could be remade.

Over the next hundred days, with Huo Yuhao and Gu Tianchen as the main force, and with the assistance of a group of gods skilled in forging divine artifacts, including Electrolux and the God of Forging, they completed the forging of two super divine artifacts.

Among them, Gu Tianchen's super artifact is the Space Wings, which can also transform into three forms when necessary: ​​a moon blade, double scythes, and a shield, achieving a combination of offense, defense, and support.

In contrast, Huo Yuhao combined the craftsmanship of soul tools, array artifacts, and traditional divine artifacts, creating a super divine artifact set in a seven-in-one, one-divided-seven format, to be used by seven deities. This set included the Tenfold Golden Ring of Love, the Ice Extreme Armor of Wrath, the Heart-Protecting Illusion Mirror of Joy, the Swarm Floating Cannon of Sorrow, the Soul-Suppressing Helmet of Hate, the Demon Eye of Hatred, and the Heaven-Severing Cold Blade of Evil.

At this point, everything is ready.
