Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 132 Self-Created Godhood

"The realm of gods? Perhaps. I'm not sure if the hazy realm I sensed is the so-called realm of gods. That realm shrouded in mysterious mist is extremely far away from our continent."

"Perhaps, even if a Limit Douluo like me were to use his maximum speed, I would never be able to reach that place by my own power in my entire life. That realm is like a galaxy, filled with an unparalleled sense of powerful presence."

As Mu En spoke, a rare look of solemnity appeared in his eyes. Even as a level 99 Limit Douluo who had stepped into the highest level of humanity, he could not access that unknown area. He could only vaguely perceive it with the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm.

This alone is enough to show just how far that unknown realm is from the Douluo Continent beneath our feet. You should know that when a Limit Douluo fully opens up his spiritual power, that terrifying spiritual power can almost cover half of the Douluo Continent.

No, when one's spiritual power breaks through to the Divine Origin Realm, one's spiritual power has undergone a qualitative change, possessing some special characteristics that surpass the Limit Douluo, and one's spiritual level has also transformed from that of a mortal.

Even one's own spiritual body, when briefly separated from one's physical body, can "survive" in the outside world for a considerable period of time, and may even retain some of the strength of the original body.

This is precisely the biggest change that occurs when one's spiritual power reaches the Divine Origin Realm!

It was precisely because Moon's mental strength was so powerful that he was able to perceive that vast and powerful unknown realm.

Even so, Mu En was still a "mortal" at heart. Even though he was a level 99 Limit Douluo and could do many things that were impossible for ordinary people, he was not a true god.

Perhaps only a true god could cross this incredibly vast distance and reach that unknown realm. However, in Moon's eyes, even a true god might not be able to cross such a vast distance!

"If even you say so, then perhaps it really is true..."

After hearing Mu En's words, Xuan Zi's expression became serious, and he spoke thoughtfully.

Although he was only a level 98 Super Douluo, and still had a long way to go before reaching the level 99 Limit Douluo realm, and might not even be able to break through to the level 99 Limit Douluo realm in his lifetime, he still understood what Mu En was saying.

The reason Moon said these words to them at this moment was to convey a message:

There really are gods in this world, gods far beyond the realm of humanity!

Although Luo Chen already knew this, Mu En and Xuan Zi were filled with emotion, but at the same time, a sense of crisis arose in their hearts.

If gods truly exist in this world, then who can guarantee that one day in the future, a true god will not descend upon this world?

Or perhaps, there are already powerful beings at the True God level hiding on this continent, but they have not yet been discovered by them in the past ten thousand years!

After pondering quietly for a moment, Xuanzi felt more and more that this situation might exist. After all, how long has it been since humans rose up on the continent, climbing from the bottom of the food chain to a level that is no different from the overlord of the continent?

How long has this Douluo Continent existed?

Compared to the "age" of this continent, the history recorded by humankind is but a drop in the ocean.

However, Luo Chen, who was listening attentively, couldn't help but chuckle at the worried and cautious expressions on Mu En and Xuan Zi's faces.

Although there are indeed gods on this continent, and more than one, they are all "old, weak, and disabled." Those who have passed away are only "wandering souls," and those who still exist are in a severely crippled state.

It can be said that if there really is a perfect god on the Douluo Continent, then it would be impossible for this to escape the eyes of the ruler of this continent, and it would certainly not be able to hide it from the enforcer of the God Realm.

Therefore, in Luo Chen's view, Mu En and Xuan Zi's worries were completely unnecessary. As long as the God Realm still exists in the world, no matter how petty or insignificant someone is, it is impossible for them to bypass the detection of the gods and descend upon this continent.

Ordinary gods, not to mention those without even a divine position, might not even be able to defeat the few remaining Limit Douluos on the continent. As for the more powerful gods, they are simply no match for those with divine positions.

Having a divine position and not having one are two completely different things. Although powerful beings can rely on their own strength to break through the realm of humanity and reach the legendary realm of gods without any restrictions.

However, such gods are undoubtedly the weakest. First, they have no inheritance; second, they have not condensed a divine position; and third, they do not have a divine artifact-level weapon. Therefore, when they encounter a true god who has a divine position and is empowered by a divine artifact, they will be crushed without any doubt!

Just like a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone, and a Title Douluo without a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone, although they are at the same realm, the combat power they can exert is completely different!

Moreover, the hierarchy among gods and the differences between their various realms are several times more exaggerated than the so-called Soul Master realm divisions!

In the realm of gods, the lowest-ranking deity is merely a high-ranking official. Since this level of deity does not hold a divine position but only holds the title of high-ranking official, even with the blessing of the divine energy of the realm, their combat power is only slightly stronger than that of a demigod.

Above the priests are the third-level gods, who possess divine positions but are the lowest level of divine positions. The difference in strength between a third-level god and a priest is about one hundred times, which is precisely because of the difference in divine positions.

However, even with a divine position, there is still a huge gap between an ordinary third-level god and an ordinary second-level god. An ordinary second-level god's divine power is also one hundred times that of a third-level god.

By analogy, the strongest beings below the God King realm, the so-called first-level gods, possess divine power ten thousand times that of third-level gods. This exaggerated multiple of divine power is countless times more terrifying than the power gap between a Soul Saint and a Title Douluo!

A seven-ring Soul Saint with a top-tier Martial Soul, enhanced by his Soul Rings and Soul Bones, can unleash strength comparable to a Title Douluo, and may even be able to kill a Title Douluo!

However, even with the blessing of a divine position and divine artifact, a so-called third-level god could not possibly defeat a first-level god, not even the most ordinary first-level god!

The difference between a first-level god and a third-level god is not only the vast divine power, but also the enormous gap in their divine bodies and divine consciousness. This is the fundamental reason why the gap between the two is so large!

Divine body and divine consciousness are essential for every god-level powerhouse. Having a divine position is not very important, but if one's physical qualities and spiritual realm cannot reach the level of a god, then it is impossible to break through the shackles and break through to the divine realm.

Although Mu En has now taken that step in the spiritual realm and reached the legendary Divine Origin Realm, his soul power level is still at the peak of the level 99 Limit Douluo.

Before one's soul power cultivation reaches the level of a Limit Douluo at level ninety-nine, it is almost impossible to break through to the God Realm, no matter how strong one's mental power cultivation and physical qualities are.

Soul power cultivation is the most crucial factor in improving one's level, breaking through bottlenecks, and reaching the realm of gods. However, due to the suppression of the laws of heaven and earth in the Douluo Continent, it is extremely difficult for both soul masters and soul beasts to break through this level!

Even in Luo Chen's conjecture, since the Shrek Seven Devils ascended ten thousand years ago, perhaps not even a single demigod-level expert has appeared in this long period of time.

However, this is quite normal. Even with so many inheritances, without enough opportunities and talent, let alone a demigod, even a level 99 Limit Douluo is extremely rare!

If it weren't for the unique nature of this era, it's highly likely that not even a level 99 Limit Douluo, who has reached the pinnacle of the human realm, would appear on this continent. This isn't outrageous; rather, it's a common and normal phenomenon.

If this were a thousand years ago, a Limit Douluo who had reached level 99 would have been able to sweep across the entire Soul Master world, or even suppress an era!

Mu En is a good example. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, with his level 99 Limit Douluo realm, he will definitely be able to lead the Shrek Academy to a new peak!

Don't underestimate the terrifying power of a level 99 Limit Douluo; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could sweep through an entire world!

After all, in the entire history of the human race, there have never been many Soul Masters of this level.

Otherwise, with the resources and capabilities of the human race, they could easily subdue all the soul beasts on the entire Douluo Continent, and even in the deep sea!

"Teacher, I will definitely work hard towards this goal. I think it won't take me long to achieve the goal you set."

Sensing the strange atmosphere within the Sea God Pavilion, Luo Chen broke the silence and spoke confidently to Mu En and Xuan Zi in front of him.

However, this is indeed the case. With his current rate of soul power improvement, it wouldn't take him long to break through to the so-called Title Douluo realm.

Even beyond the Title Douluo level, the higher-level Super Douluo and the Limit Douluo who has reached the limit of the Human Dao realm are not difficult tasks for Luo Chen's talent.

Luo Chen's confidence stemmed from the numerous bizarre and extraordinary abilities granted to him by the Death Scythe Martial Soul. With these skills, which could almost be described as "divine techniques," reaching the so-called Limit Douluo realm was practically within his grasp.

This is only based on the various strange abilities that the Reaper's Scythe has shown so far. If Luo Chen's own realm improves again, or if he absorbs more life force, he can further improve the quality of the Reaper's Scythe Martial Soul.

Then the time it takes for Luo Chen to break through to the Limit Douluo level will be greatly shortened. At that time, breaking through to the so-called demigod level will no longer be an unattainable thing.

However, for Luo Chen, the most important thing is to improve his own foundation and break through to the so-called Title Douluo realm. This is only the first step in his plan. According to Luo Chen's vision, once he breaks through to the Title Douluo realm, his own strength will probably be comparable to that of a god in this world.

Only after reaching that level was Luo Chen able to truly realize his envisioned plan.

His goal was actually very simple: to establish himself completely in this world and eliminate all factors that could potentially threaten him, whether people or things.

Luo Chen was quite confident about this. This confidence came not only from his own Death Scythe body, which was still in another space, but also from his ever-improving understanding of the rules of death.

Luo Chen knew very well that the "authority of death" he had come into contact with was an existence far beyond his current level, and its status was even higher than the rules of life and destruction in Douluo Continent.

It can be said that Luo Chen's greatest reliance now is the "authority of death" he possesses. With this authority of death, he can almost arbitrarily control the rules of death in this world.

Perhaps he cannot yet control life and death, but Luo Chen has become increasingly familiar with the application of the rules of death. He can control anything involving the rules of death by virtue of his authority over death.

This is why Luo Chen was not affected by the residual souls of the soul beasts within the soul ring when absorbing it. The problem lies precisely in the death authority granted to Luo Chen by the Death Scythe.

With this power of death, in this plane where there is no God of Death, Luo Chen will eventually break through to the God Realm, and may even achieve a godhood by relying on the rules of death, thus condensing his own God of Death position and becoming a true God of Death who controls the life and death of all things.

However, Luo Chen still needs to continuously improve his realm. He has discovered that as his soul power level increases, his strength is also growing at a terrifying speed, and the energy he needs to absorb is becoming increasingly terrifying.

Since his Death Scythe Martial Soul was fully awakened, Luo Chen estimated that the amount of heaven and earth energy he needed to absorb to break through his realm was almost three to four times that of an ordinary Soul Master. Although he didn't notice it in terms of cultivation speed, it was reflected in the total amount of Soul Power.

However, at the level of a four-ring Soul Master, one possesses a massive amount of Soul Power comparable to a seven-ring Soul Saint. In other words, the amount of Heaven and Earth Energy that Luo Chen needs to absorb to increase his Soul Power by one level is equivalent to the total amount of Soul Power absorbed by an ordinary Soul Master who increases his Soul Power from level 40 to level 50!
