Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

……

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, your spiritual power... has broken through to the Divine Origin Realm!" Di Tian took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and bowed first, his tone filled with sincere respect.

He had pursued this step for tens of thousands of years without success, and now it was achieved in Xuanming, which is of extraordinary significance!

Xuanming nodded slightly in response to Ditian's congratulations, and then began to carefully experience the tremendous changes in his perception.

With a slight thought, the nascent, still weak but extremely profound divine consciousness spread out silently in all directions from him, like invisible ripples.

Without the intense consumption of soul power or the sense of spatial obstruction, the spread of divine sense seemed like an instinct, a "perception" that transcended the boundaries of matter.

Almost instantly, his "gaze" forcibly crossed the vast ocean below, ignoring the distance, and precisely "landed" on the distant Poseidon Island!
He "saw" Hu Liena, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and others in the ring-shaped sea, gritting their teeth and persevering under the surging waves, tempering their bodies and controlling their soul power. Every subtle expression on their faces, the trajectory of their soul power, and even the flow of their blood and qi were crystal clear to him at this moment, as if they were right next to him.

The divine sense did not stop, but continued to expand.

The next moment, his "gaze" swept across the sea and landed directly on the Spirit City of Douluo Continent.

Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong was concentrating with her eyes closed, a faint flow of dark red and dark purple divine power emanating from her body, as if she were attempting to further control the power within her. The subtle weariness and determination between her brows did not escape Xuan Ming's notice.

His gaze swept across the capitals of the two great empires—Tian Dou City and Xing Luo City—the petty squabbles among the nobles, the troop movements—like an unfolding scroll, passing through his mind one by one.

Finally, his divine sense sank into the core of the Star Dou Great Forest. The Lake of Life shimmered, and even the leisurely swimming posture of the little demon whale in the lake was clearly reflected in his perception.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The range of divine sense far exceeded imagination, covering almost half of Douluo Star! Moreover, this perception was no longer a vague outline, but penetrated to the level of energy essence and soul fluctuations!

It was an extremely strange yet incredibly powerful feeling. It was as if one had become a part of this world, yet also transcended it.

Xuanming slowly withdrew his divine sense. Although his divine sense was powerful, such precise perception over such a wide area was a burden on his newly formed primordial spirit, and he felt a slight dizziness.

A hint of weariness flashed in his eyes, but more than that, there was a profound sense of control over everything.

Without saying much, he raised his hand, and a silvery-white light flowed naturally in his palm. It was the purest spatial power, no longer dependent on any soul skill or domain.

A flash of light enveloped Di Tian and the Demon Emperor beside him.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery blurred and distorted! It wasn't the kind of evil-infused leap of the Evil God, but something more direct and primal... a spatial displacement!
Di Tian and the Demon Emperor only felt a blur before their eyes, and before they could even sense the spatial shift, their feet were firmly planted, and a slightly salty sea breeze was already blowing in their faces! Upon closer inspection, the three of them found themselves on the beach of Seagod Island!
Emperor Tian and the Demon Emperor were deeply shocked! This wasn't a spatial jump achieved through divine techniques, but rather an ultra-long-distance teleportation performed purely by distorting space with their own power! This control over the laws of space had reached an inconceivable level! Even ordinary god-level experts would find it difficult to achieve!

Their sudden appearance immediately alarmed everyone on the island.

"Brother Xuanming!" Ning Rongrong was the first to exclaim in surprise.

Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and others quickly gathered around, chattering amongst themselves with concern and curiosity on their faces.

However, Xuanming simply waved his hand. He felt dizzy, and the overuse of his newly formed divine sense had brought on a strong sense of mental exhaustion. All he wanted to do at that moment was to rest quietly.

“He needs rest.” A cool voice rang out, and Gu Yuena appeared beside Xuan Ming without anyone noticing, her silver-purple eyes filled with understanding and worry. She could sense the nascent and extremely unstable fluctuations of divine consciousness emanating from Xuan Ming. She stepped forward, naturally taking Xuan Ming's arm, and said to everyone, “He has just undergone a breakthrough and needs to rest. Everyone, please disperse.”

After saying that, she ignored everyone and took Xuanming with her, transforming into a streak of silver light and entering the depths of the Ice Crystal Castle.

After entering the castle, Gu Yuena instructed Di Tian, ​​who was following closely behind, "Stand guard outside. No one is allowed to disturb us without my permission."

"Yes, my lord." Di Tian respectfully accepted the order and stood solemnly outside the castle gate.

Deep within the Ice Crystal Castle, in the tranquil palace.

Gu Yuena gently placed Xuanming on the cold jade bed. Looking at the undisguised fatigue between his brows and the powerful yet somewhat weak and unstable spiritual fluctuations around him, a trace of solemnity flashed in her silver-purple eyes.

Xuanming's breakthrough to the Divine Origin Realm ahead of schedule was completely unexpected.

She raised her hand, and the gentle yet vast power of creation, mixed with her own pure dragon god essence, slowly enveloped Xuanming like the warm moonlight.

This force did not forcibly intervene, but rather, like the finest silk thread, carefully guided and smoothed Xuanming's newly born and restless primordial spirit, helping it to stabilize its foundation and merge more closely with his soul.

Gu Yuena knew in her heart that Xuanming's breakthrough this time could be described as defying the heavens.

The Douluo Continent suffered severe damage due to the Dragon God Rebellion, and its origins were damaged.

The current world rules and energy levels of Douluo Continent are simply insufficient to support a native being to break through to the god level through their own power.

Once anyone reaches that level, the world's rules, in order to protect themselves, will immediately unleash a devastating heavenly tribulation to annihilate them!
Because this world itself cannot contain a deity born within it, yet transcending its limits.

Unless, like the Angel God and Sea God of the past, they first attract the recognition of the divine energy of the God Realm by collecting and accumulating the power of faith over thousands of years, condense a divine position outside their body, "anchor" themselves to the God Realm, essentially detached from the rules of the Douluo plane, and then descend as "outsiders" in this way, they can avoid the rejection of the plane and the heavenly tribulation.

But Xuanming, precisely within these strict rules, managed to break through!
Under Gu Yuena's protection and assistance, Xuanming fell into a deep sleep, which lasted for nearly a month.

When he opened his eyes again, his icy blue eyes had regained their former clarity, but now held an indescribable depth and majesty. He sat up, sensing the stable and powerful primordial spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness, and the terrifying range of his divine sense that could cover almost the entire continent with a single thought, but his brows furrowed slightly.

"How are you feeling?" Gu Yuena's voice rang out from the side.

Xuanming looked at her and directly voiced his doubts: "I feel... the range of my divine sense seems to far exceed my imagination. But you are also a god-level being, so why do I feel that your divine sense seems to be..."

He didn't finish speaking, but Gu Yuena understood what he meant. She gently shook her head and explained, "This is because your spiritual power broke through to the Divine Origin Realm within the rules of the Douluo Plane."

"My divine consciousness originates from the part of the divine essence and origin inherited when the Dragon God split, and its essence is at the level of the God Realm. When I am in the mortal world of Douluo Continent, my divine consciousness and power will be subject to the natural suppression of the cosmic rules on the descent of god-level beings into the mortal world."

She paused, her tone tinged with disbelief: "In theory, this situation is not allowed to happen in the current Douluo Continent. But you did it. Perhaps... the plane itself has been slowly growing and recovering over the long years, and just then, a tiny, insignificant crack appeared, and you seized this once-in-a-millennium opportunity, using this crack to reach the Divine Origin Realm within the rules."

“And that is precisely why,” Gu Yuena looked at him, her silver-purple eyes gleaming with a strange light, “your divine consciousness is not suppressed by the rules of this world. Because your ‘god’ was born within its framework of rules, it is a part of it, not an outsider.” (End of Chapter)
