Give Douluo a technological shock

The little boy, held in Chizhu's hand, looked at his older brother, who was about to go to his father's place to look for the treasure, and his handsome little face immediately fell.

His older brother, Chizhu, had a bad habit: when he saw something nice, he liked to put it in his mouth and bite it to test its hardness with his teeth. As a result, he chewed up the gift his dad wanted to give to his mom.

"Outrageous!" Upon hearing that her legs were about to be broken, Chizhu flew into a rage and shouted, "How dare you, a mere woman, insult me ​​like this! I was merely testing the hardness of that semi-divine artifact for her. It's such a fragile semi-divine artifact; thank goodness I tested it beforehand, otherwise, what if she had been in danger because of it? Instead of thanking me for helping her eliminate the potential danger, she insults me! Humph! Such a woman's mind!"

Chizhu, who wanted to make some tough remarks, hesitated for a long time before feeling a slight pain in her buttocks. In the end, she gave a mild but ineffective reprimand.

He couldn't defeat a single tigress among those who were masters of martial arts.

That female dragon was like that; she could pin him to the ground and pound him with one hand.

The mother was the same; when she got angry, she would smash her own husband into mincemeat with a single blow, requiring a powerful [Reincarnation] expert to use a resurrection spell to save him.

Before he had fully matured and reached adulthood, Chizhu felt he should follow his heart.

"Alright! Niandong, let's go sail the warship!"

Inside a spacious, silver-white laboratory within a detached high-rise building at the Starry Sky Research Center, Chen Hong, dressed in a white lab coat with light purple cloud patterns, watched the somewhat embarrassed Green-Haired Egg and Xuanzi with a faint smile. Other members of the Sword Pavilion were also present in the silver-white laboratory hall, all curious about these two suddenly appearing 'Refining Gods' practitioners, except for Long Xiaoyao.

"The quality of their souls has reached the standard of divine souls. It seems that this is the standard that allows them to emerge?" In the silver-white experimental hall, the gray-haired youth Electrolux looked Poison Undying and Xuanzi up and down, and nodded to himself, "It's somewhat similar to faith, but different. However, the improvement in soul power is real. Sigh."

Finally, Electrolux let out a strange sigh.

Because, in his view, the soul enhancement of Du Bu Si and Xuan Zi is very similar to that of [You Lan]. To put it bluntly, those who enhance their souls through this method are inevitably subject to the limitations, or even control, of [You Lan]. Although [You Lan] generally doesn't do this, unless [You Lan] completely transcends, he doesn't know if this method will reach a bottleneck.

However, this is ultimately just a shortcut that should be subject to certain limitations; it's a solution that everyone has no other choice at the moment.

However, compared to the divine system in the God Realm, [Azure] is not so bad for this group of 'god refiners'.

So Chen Hong had a brief exchange with Du Busi and the other two, and at the same time used sophisticated instruments to thoroughly examine their bodies. After finding no hidden dangers, he asked Bing Xuan to continue taking the two down to familiarize them with the Douluo Continent, which had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Afterwards, Chen Hong gathered with Huo Yuhao, Electrolux, and A Yin to discuss the 'God Refiners' who might appear in large numbers next.

"The term 'clustering' is an exaggeration. In reality, there should be no more than five people who can reach the level of a god-level soul and emerge from the Demi-plane of God Refining." Based on the strength of the titled Douluo and soul beasts at that time, the four people present basically already knew who could reach the final step and emerge.

According to her memory, Ah Yin said, "There should only be these two human Title Douluos. The strength of the other Title Douluos is too different. Although they have benefited greatly from their soul strength, they can only cross one major level at most. An ordinary Title Douluo can advance to Super Douluo, and a Super Douluo can advance to Limit Douluo. That is the limit."

When Du Busi entered the Refining God Demiplane, his cultivation level had just reached the level of a Limit Douluo at level ninety-nine. Although Xuanzi's cultivation level was level ninety-eight, his soul realm was not too far from that of Du Busi, who had just broken through. In addition, given Xuanzi's complicated identity, the four were not surprised that Xuanzi would receive the same treatment as Du Busi.

Well, in terms of both reason and emotion, Xuanzi can be considered to have done Chen Fu a favor.

Chen Fu retaliates against Shrek Academy for dismantling Xuanzi's school, but this doesn't prevent Chen Fu from helping Xuanzi out when necessary.

“Yes.” Chen Hong nodded slightly to the three of them and predicted, “Among the soul beasts, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is quite special. It has been with [Azure] for so long that it has already reached the divine level of spiritual realm. It’s just that it is rather lazy and has always neglected to improve its physical strength.”

"Therefore, the remaining top-tier soul beast powerhouses are Emperor Tian, ​​Evil Emperor, Snow Emperor, and Demon Emperor."

The difference between Zi Ji, Bi Ji, Chi Wang, and Bing Di is too great, and given the time constraints, it's not feasible to spend a lot of time retrieving them.

However, their soul power will still be greatly enhanced, and the bottlenecks of the next two or three realms may loosen. It's not that they gained nothing, but their accumulation was not enough to achieve a qualitative change.

Ah Yin pouted slightly and said, "I don't think the Evil Emperor is a good fit. Mu En told me that guy seems to be connected to other planes, so he probably won't be willing to serve us."

"Furthermore, according to [Azure]'s statistics, without affecting our other development plans, our current population of over 50 million can only support a little over 500 god-level souls. Humans have already taken two of them. Chen Fu's attitude is actually very clear. The rest is to choose from among the soul beasts."

“Actually, my view is exactly the opposite of yours.” Electrox sat on a recliner in the experimental hall and chuckled softly. “Based on my understanding of that kid Chen Fu, he probably has very high expectations for that Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.”

"Besides, who says that the opposing camp can't serve us wholeheartedly?" As he spoke, Electrolux smiled at Ah Yin, whose face was a little embarrassed, and said, "We need teammates who can be quickly converted into combat power, and the Evil Emperor is a very worthwhile opponent to win over."

"The three—Emperor Tianxie, Demon Emperor, and Emperor Mohuang—are the best choices for quickly realizing combat power. The Snow Empress's power is too destructive to the environment, and its impact on her own people is much stronger than on those gods, so her priority will be deferred. Of course, the Snow Empress will not forget her in the end, and if there is enough time later, she may become the first priority."

"The Evil Emperor is related to our control over the Abyss. I went to check out the Abyss Trench on the other side of the deep sea, and it's not something we can handle right now."

"Moreover, having lived with Chen Fu in the Refining God Demiplane for so long, that Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler must have figured out who would be of greater benefit to him by now, right?"

Electrolux wasn't worried that the Evil Emperor would be so loyal to the Abyss Plane, because ever since the Evil Emperor personally went to the Star Dou Great Forest to attend the Third Douluo Conference, and ultimately sank into the Refining God Demiplane with Chen Fu, it was already clear that the Evil Emperor's heart was wavering.

The fact that the Evil Emperor dared to come to the Star Dou Great Forest to see Chen Fu shows that the Evil Emperor actually still trusts Chen Fu's character and has begun to become curious about that human.

Once curiosity takes hold, the time for the Evil Emperor to fall into corruption is not far off.

"No need to worry so much. We'll just see who comes out eventually. It won't affect our subsequent plans." Chen Hong interrupted Electrolux with a smile, and then said, "With the appearance of people like Poison Undying, we should start allocating some resources to them to create gods. This can be considered the completion of the god-creating era that Chen Fu envisioned."

"And coincidentally, by creating gods for people like Poison Undying, we can continue experimenting with the 'lawification' (regulation) phenomenon of our [Law Core], try to create more [Law Cores], and then prepare some different things for the fourth-generation Ark Core that is currently preparing resources."

"By the way, speaking of this, how many fourth-generation Ark Cores can the Douluo Realm support?" As if remembering something, Electrolux looked up and stared intently at Chen Hong not far away.

The core of the fourth-generation Ark is, in principle, something that shouldn't be allowed to exist in the world.

However, the current global will has chosen to take a desperate gamble and stand with Chen Fu.

Chapter 310: The God-Slaying Weapon [Gungnir]! The Expanding [Sword Pavilion]! [Please vote and send hearts!]

The fourth-generation Ark Core theoretically possesses a terrifying upper limit that can slowly devour a world from a physical perspective. From a mythological point of view, it is the Heart of God; from a technological point of view, it is the Void Engine or the Black Hole Engine.

If it were simply a matter of technological advancement, the Star Dou Empire would not have been able to access such technology, which had already touched upon the essence of the universe, in such a short time. However, the Star Dou Empire has never been a purely technological civilization, or rather, this world has never been a purely technological universe.

The Douluo God Realm, with its supernatural beings such as gods, god kings, divine artifacts, law gods, and elemental beings, provided the Star Dou Empire with unimaginable inspiration. It could even be said that the Star Dou Empire absorbed the God Realm's 'divine system' that had existed for millions of years and then replicated it using technological means, ultimately innovating and surpassing it to become a composite civilization that was half technology and half mythology.

Or rather, technology has never excluded mythology, magic, and other mysterious entities.

Existence implies rationality, and rationality implies observability.

Being able to observe means being able to grasp the principles, thereby establishing a set of magical technology.

Physics never dies; it just gets updated, like putting on a few more fancy clothes when the weather gets colder.

No one knows what Chen Fu, the founder of the Star Dou Empire, was thinking on the night that the nuclear bomb failed to seriously injure the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian. All that is known is that since then, the Star Dou Empire's technological development path has become increasingly skewed towards mystification.

Much later, when people summarized this period of history, they offered the following commentary:

Earth's technology is dead, Douluo technology is born!

"The materials used in Model Zero will be extremely powerful. Given the size of the Douluo Continent, it can only support one fourth-generation core."

After considering the question from Electrolux, Chen Hong gave his answer.

It's not that we can't create more fourth-generation cores, but due to their limited living conditions, they don't have many opportunities to disperse their power. They can only concentrate their efforts to create one large one, solve the security problem of the Douluo Realm first, and then consider other issues.

Upon hearing this, Electrolux nodded to himself and then said nothing more. Chen Fu's concept for the fourth-generation Ark core technology was something they had discussed together, so Electrolux was very aware of the power of the fourth-generation Ark energy core. He had long ago told Chen Fu that he would also like to make one for himself.

"Yuhao, how's the progress of the [Gungnir] project lately?" Chen Hong turned to ask the bright-eyed man on the other side who didn't say much.

The man possessed a pair of bright eyes that seemed to contain the essence of desolate stars. His black, tousled hair was disheveled, and he exuded a chilling, deathly, and eerie power. His face was also abnormally pale, and his eye sockets were somewhat dark.

He is Huo Yuhao, known as the "Sword of Silent Snow" by the Sword Pavilion. He eventually completed the three-in-one martial soul fusion, created the god-level martial soul Silent Snow Saint God, and successfully broke through to level 100 with the help of Chen Hong and others, becoming a new member of the Sword Pavilion.

However, Chen Hong still believes that young people should know how to exercise restraint.

"Project Gungnir is still progressing according to plan, and we haven't encountered any major problems yet." Huo Yuhao shared the progress of the god-slaying artifact Gungnir, which he was in charge of, with everyone, and then said with some difficulty, "I'm still not sure if our Gungnir project can deal a devastating blow to an enemy at the God-King level."

The Gungnir project originated with Chen Hong and was then handed over to Huo Yuhao for research. Chen Hong's main task was the fourth-generation Ark core project assigned to him by Chen Fu.

However, as Huo Yuhao's research into the [Gungnir] project deepened and his own strength continued to improve, he became increasingly doubtful about the 'god-slaying weapon' he was developing. The Star Dou Empire's development time was still too short, and it severely lacked powerful attack methods capable of annihilating the souls of god-kings. Even with [Gungnir], which Huo Yuhao himself was developing, he doubted whether this super weapon, still in the experimental and demonstrable stage, could live up to its name of 'god-slaying'.

"It doesn't matter. Whether or not we can kill a god is not important. As long as we can break the deadlock at the crucial moment, that's good enough." Compared to Huo Yuhao's self-doubt, Chen Hong was undoubtedly much calmer. After all, this was a super weapon project he had come up with, and he knew best about the purpose of this weapon.

"【Gungnir】is a model of the Great Sumeru Hammer technology from Wang Dongdao’s 【Haotian】. Once activated, it can unleash a targeted burst of power in an instant, penetrating the God-King’s body at a speed exceeding the speed of light, inflicting severe damage on the God-King’s material level. As for the soul… take it slow."

"However, Yuhao, I think young people should be more restrained."

Finally, Chen Hong couldn't help but remind Huo Yuhao, who had very dark circles under his eyes.

This caused Huo Yuhao's expression to change drastically. He hurriedly said to the crowd who were looking at him with amused expressions, "No, no! It's not what you think!"

However, Electrolux chuckled, his expression enigmatic, and said, "It's quite a strange thing that someone with the ultimate divine body, forged from the [Sword of Haotian], would happen to run into you, a fragile little thing. Tsk tsk tsk."

Seeing even his teacher teasing him like this, Huo Yuhao felt extremely embarrassed, and his ears turned a little red. But he still tried to argue, "Isn't this all for the progress of the [Gungnir] project?"

In order to personally experience the attack principle of [Haotian], which is currently known as the number one offensive Dao technique in the Star Dou Empire, Huo Yuhao took the hits many times with his special spiritual body. Fortunately, as long as it was not an extreme soul attack, [Haotian Great Sumeru Hammer], which was an extreme physical attack like Wang Dong's, could at most destroy his physical body. However, with the revived [Youlan] and Teacher Ilex, even if he was smashed into dust, Huo Yuhao could be restored.

In the past ten years or so, with the popularization of the two cultivation methods, [Foundation Building Method] and [Pandora], the average strength of the Soul Masters in the Star Dou Empire has unknowingly reached the level of the second ring. During this period, many geniuses have emerged, and the Star Dou Dao Technique Record has been updated to number 020 and beyond. However, Wang Dong's [Haotian] still firmly holds the title of the number one offensive Dao Technique in the world.

If it weren't for the birth of their child, Huo Niandong, the tens of millions of netizens within the Star Dou Empire wouldn't have stopped discussing whether Huo Yuhao had broken through the defenses by proving his Dao with his spiritual power. Otherwise, the scene online would have been quite something.

"Hehe, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Chen Hong chuckled. Sometimes teasing Huo Yuhao would add a little fun to his otherwise mundane life, but he couldn't go too far.

"You shouldn't take on Wang Dong's [Haotian Great Sumeru Hammer] too often. You haven't looked well lately. Repeatedly rebuilding your body is taking a heavy toll on your mind," Chen Hong pointed out the reason for Huo Yuhao's 'weak face'.

At the 21st year of the Starry Sky Calendar, the internal strength of the Starry Sky Empire expanded very rapidly.

First, there was the continuous influx of Soul Saints and Soul Douluos from within the country, and even a few Title Douluos emerged. Adding to this the Title Douluos who survived the great war, the number of Title Douluos on the Douluo Continent finally began to surpass the 'big number' of twenty. It's important to note that after Chen Fu took away most of the Title Douluos, there were at least forty Title Douluos on the Douluo Continent at that time. However, after the war ended and more than ten years passed, the current number of Title Douluos has only just barely broken the twenty mark.

However, considering that the Heavenly Soul Kingdom and the Star Luo Empire together lost at least ten Title Douluos, and the Star Luo Empire lost five or six, while the Sun Moon Evil Soul Masters and Soul Masters suffered almost total annihilation of their dozen or so Title Douluos, after the war, apart from a few sects that temporarily closed their gates, such as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, most of the participating Title Douluos perished in the war. Both the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Dou Empire had far too many methods for dealing with Title Douluos. In fact, it could be said that Title Douluos were even easier to kill than Soul Master armies.

And there's something even more terrifying: the Star Dou Empire's current number of Soul Masters is truly in the tens of millions! Including other population members, the Star Dou Empire currently has over 60 million people, of which a staggering 40 million are Soul Masters! The remaining 20 million are mostly elderly people and infants! 40 million Soul Masters is something that was unimaginable in the history of Douluo Continent, but it has now truly been achieved!

The rapid increase in the number of Soul Masters quickly diluted the proportion of Innate Soul Masters in the Soul Master population, making the Star Dou Empire's rule even stronger. At the same time, labor productivity also expanded beyond imagination! Where an ordinary person could only produce one unit of labor product, now an ordinary Soul Master can produce two to three units in the same amount of time! Productivity has more than doubled!

Of course, the rapidly expanding number of Soul Masters has also led to an increase in the number of energy mines used to decompose planetary matter throughout the Douluo Star world. According to statistics from the Star Dou Empire's internal resource department, based on the current development speed of the Star Dou Empire, Douluo Star can only support the empire's rapid development for three hundred years. And it is this three hundred years of development that will directly overdraw the resources of Douluo Star for tens of thousands of years to come.

This rate of development doesn't even take into account the rate at which god-level powerhouses consume resources. If we take that into account, then Douluo Star is truly developing at a frantic pace, completely mortgaging its future.

Based on the current roster of the Star Dou Empire's [Sword Pavilion]:

The mysterious mastermind who wields light and death, Ilex, whose sword is named "Reincarnation".

He devours water and life, blends the deep sea and the abyss, his body and soul are one, and he wields the half-step super artifact, the Trident of the Sea God. He is not only the Sea God but also the Sea God. His sword is named [Xiang Liu].

He wields the thunder in the void, his body is darkness, he devours darkness to become light, he holds the sun and moon, he follows the laws of heaven and earth, and his sword is named [Dragon Sovereign].

Ye Guyi, whose sword is named "Judgment," uses sins as the flames of judgment and whose body is light. He enjoys the flames of faith from millions of Star Soul Masters.

In the name of the ruler, she commands all elements; in the name of the progenitor, she enjoys the supreme status of all beast races. Her sword is named "Dragon Lord." (After years of protests, Xiao Na finally succeeded in happily changing her name.)

Ultimate power, ultimate physique, ultimate offense, immortal Vajra, absolute Martial God! Ascending to the top of the Sword Pavilion as the level 99 Ultimate Golden Dragon King, the sword name is [Dragon God] Golden Scale (because he was dissatisfied that his best friend Gu Yuena had a title that was slightly higher than his own, [Dragon King] Golden Scale changed his name to Dragon God).
