Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 123 They arrived perfectly fine, but there's no going back.

"Like glue and water," Electrox said, pointing to the two lumps of material, his tone tinged with helplessness, "they both appear to be energy (transparent liquids), both governed by rules, but their inherent 'viscosity,' 'fluidity,' and 'affinity with the primordial energy of heaven and earth' are fundamentally separated. When I tried to invoke the laws of this world to evolve towards a higher level (god-like), I didn't feel any assistance, but rather a powerful repulsion and resistance."

He looked at Harossa, his gaze profound: "It's like forcibly cramming a magical device that originally required a sophisticated array of runes into a world that only recognizes simple energy circuits. I need to constantly 'disassemble' my own power structure, constantly 'downward compatible,' to adapt to the relatively—well, relatively 'direct' rules of this world. This in itself requires a long time to analyze and reconstruct."

"More importantly," Electrox continued, "merely adapting isn't enough. To truly integrate into the laws of this world and become a god recognized by it, I need to re-perceive and re-understand the 'Elemental Power of Heaven and Earth'—its operating principles."

Its energy attributes, its underlying logic that constitutes all things. This is a painful process of constantly refining and adjusting the degree of harmony between one's own divinity and the laws of this realm. Thirty years—this is the result of my utmost effort, and with the protection of this divine realm.

Harosa nodded solemnly upon hearing this. He fully understood Electrox's predicament. Different planes and universes inevitably have different underlying rules. Electrox was essentially carrying the soul of another "operating system," trying to "recompile and install" himself into a god within a completely new "hardware environment"—the difficulty of which was unimaginable. Thirty years, in the time scale of the divine realm, was actually not a long time.

"Old Yi is too modest," Harosa said sincerely. "To successfully ascend to godhood under the laws of another world is an achievement that is enough to make one proud throughout history." He then added with a smile, "Of course, the main reason is that a huge amount of 'nourishment' (referring to the rebirth essence transformed from the demonic essence) suddenly poured into my Rebirth God Realm some time ago, greatly improving the environment and making the laws more active and stable, which allowed Old Yi to succeed in one fell swoop, right?"

Electrolux smiled and readily admitted, "Indeed. The sudden abundance and qualitative change of the divine realm's origin was like rain after a long drought, greatly accelerating my final stage of fusion and breakthrough. Speaking of which, I must thank young friend Ha for his 'fortune'." He asked curiously, "What kind of fortune could cause such a surge in the divine realm's origin?"

When this was mentioned, Harosa's face showed a complex expression, a mixture of pride and lingering fear: "It's a long story, but to put it simply, I invaded a place called 'Demon Plane,' fought with the plane's will and a few ruthless characters, and finally managed to devour a considerable portion of its origin." He roughly described the situation of Demon Plane, his entanglement with Qian Renxue and "Tong," and his thrilling escape.

"But that plane is now completely destroyed," Harosa shrugged. "That madman of the plane's will detonated the plane's core, turning himself and the entire plane into cosmic dust."

At this point, the relaxed expression on Harosa's face suddenly froze! A very serious problem that he had overlooked struck his mind like lightning!

"Wait... the dust from the plane collapse." Harosa's face instantly turned extremely grim. He glared at Electrox, his voice trembling almost imperceptibly: "Holy crap! Electrox! We—we seem to be unable to go back!"

They were fine when they arrived, but they can't go back!

Electrolux raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised: "Can't go back? Go back to where? The Douluo Plane?" His tone was calm, even carrying a hint of indifference. "The universe is vast and boundless; where can't we make our home? With our current divine powers, wouldn't it be more meaningful to dedicate ourselves to developing in this God Realm and exploring the unknown than to be confined to a corner? Besides," he gave Harossa a meaningful look, "it seems that young friend Haros doesn't have many warm feelings or attachments in the Douluo Plane, does he?"

In Electrolux's view, Harosa was ruthless and decisive in his actions, to put it nicely, but evil in reality. He was unscrupulous in achieving his goals and had made many enemies in the Douluo Continent (Shrek, Tang Sect, Spirit Pagoda, etc.). It was hard to believe that he had any "home" worth staying in.

"It's not a matter of concern!" Harosa interrupted urgently, speaking rapidly, "It's an opportunity! It's a risk!"

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and quickly explained, "In the Douluo Continent, I still have two extremely important opportunities to seize! One is related to the ultimate perfection of my godhood, and the other contains an opportunity that may allow the Rebirth God Realm to leap forward again! It's a crucial link in my plan! Staying there, the goal is clear, and the risks are relatively controllable!"

"And the universe—" Harosar's voice was heavy with worry, "seemingly vast, is actually fraught with danger! We've lost the Demon Plane as our 'stepping stone' and 'coordinate'!"

He pointed to himself, then to the divine realm beneath his feet: "My Rebirth Divine Realm is essentially derived from a small skeletal world dependent on the Underworld! It has a deep spatial connection with the Douluo Continent! My main means of traversing the two realms, the 'Gate of the Underworld,' is based on this connection!"

"Within the Douluo plane, or near the Douluo plane (such as in the Demon plane), I can freely travel between the God Realm and the main plane through the Gate of the Underworld. I can even use pre-set spatial anchor points for precise positioning and traversal."

Haros's expression grew increasingly grim: "But! Now the Demon Dimension has been completely destroyed, reduced to nothingness! We've essentially been thrown directly into the vast depths of space! We've lost this 'intermediate station' and 'reference point'!"

With the Demon Plane gone, Harosa could previously sense the anchor point in the Demon Passage, but he can no longer do so now.

He gestured with his hands, trying to make Electrox understand the complexity of spatial positioning: "The universe is not a flat map, but contains countless dimensions, folds, and spacetime turbulence! Without precise coordinates, locating a specific material plane in the vast universe is like finding a needle in a haystack! The spatial anchors I left in the Douluo plane rely on a relatively stable spatial environment and close proximity to each other to maintain their signals! Now the distance is unknown, and the spatial environment has been completely disrupted by the plane explosion."

Harosa slumped down, saying dejectedly, "I can't sense any anchor points at all! Like a kite with a broken string! The Gates of the Underworld have lost their target! We're trapped adrift in space!"

His expression was extremely serious: "What's even more terrifying is that the universe is filled with unknown risks! Powerful spacetime turbulence is enough to tear the God Realm apart! When encountering other unknown powerful God Realm civilizations, it's impossible to predict whether they will be friend or foe! The Douluo God Realm is strong enough, right? Back then, even it was helpless against spacetime turbulence and could only drift passively. Our newly born Rebirth God Realm is nothing but a small carambhava in front of a true cosmic catastrophe or a higher God Realm! We don't even have a chance to struggle!"

After hearing Harosa's explanation, Electrox's relaxed expression finally vanished. He realized the gravity of the situation. Losing coordinates and drifting in the unknown universe was indeed fraught with unpredictable and deadly risks. He had previously only focused on development, neglecting the fundamental issues of establishing a foothold and the potential dangers.

"I see—" Electrox pondered for a moment, a glint of wisdom flashing in his silvery-white eyes. "Then, can the realm of gods itself be moved?"

He recalled his past experiences: "I remember that in my original world, some powerful mages could even move the demi-planes they created, like myself. Although the scale was far smaller than the God Realm, perhaps the principle was the same? If we could determine the cosmic location of the Douluo Continent, could we try to drive the entire Rebirth God Realm, like moving a 'fortress,' to conduct interdimensional travel in that direction?"

Harosa's eyes lit up, then dimmed again: "Theoretically, it's possible! The God Realm isn't completely fixed; powerful God-King level beings can even move the God Realm throughout the universe. But—" He shook his head with a wry smile, "The difficulty lies in 'determining location'! I can't sense even a trace of the Douluo Plane right now; it's like being in an absolutely dark maze without any reference points. Without direction, how can I move?"

As the master of the Realm of Rebirth, he naturally has the power to move the Realm of Rebirth.

He gazed at the hazy sky of the God Realm, his voice heavy: "Now—we can only wait. Wait for an opportunity. Perhaps, when a certain anchor point is strongly activated, or when a massive energy fluctuation occurs in the Douluo Continent, generating a 'signal' that can be perceived on a cosmic scale—only then will I be able to re-establish a connection. Until then, we can only drift along in this unknown star field, praying that we don't encounter annihilation."

A brief silence fell over the realm of the gods. The joy that had just been brought about by Electrox's ascension to godhood was overshadowed by this sudden...

The immense crisis concerning the future of the entire divine realm was overshadowed. An invisible pressure weighed heavily on the hearts of the two gods.
