Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 245 The World of Gods (5.8K)

Inside the central control room of the divine realm, the flowing light illuminated the solemn and resolute faces of every deity.

Continuously resisting the black hole's gravity and maintaining the stability of the divine realm consumes a tremendous amount of divine power, especially in this desolate place where no energy can be replenished.

Fine beads of sweat had appeared on Dai Yuhao's forehead; the mental strain of controlling the central hub of the divine realm far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

Tang San stepped forward, gently patted his son-in-law's shoulder, and said in a steady voice with undeniable authority, "Yuhao, you've worked hard. Go and rest first. Leave the rest to me."

Dai Yuhao did not try to be brave; he knew that the upcoming fusion operation would require absolute control at the level of a God-King.

He nodded, took a deep breath, and carefully and smoothly transferred his control over the God Realm's central authority to Tang San.

The moment the handover was completed, a deeper sense of exhaustion washed over him, causing him to sway slightly.

Tang Wutong, who had been watching him closely, immediately stepped forward, took his arm, and asked with concern and heartache in her beautiful eyes, "Yuhao, are you alright?"

Feeling his wife's support and concern, Dai Yuhao forced a tired but warm smile onto his pale face. He gently took her hand and whispered, "I'm fine, Wu Tong. I'm just a little exhausted. I'll be fine after a rest."

Although he was extremely exhausted, his heart was filled with warmth because of his wife's care. He nestled against Tang Wutong and slowly walked to the designated rest area, seizing every minute to recover his energy.

Tang San replaced Dai Yuhao, standing atop the core control array of the God Realm's central hub. His deep, sea-blue eyes held only absolute calm and focus.

The vast divine consciousness of a God-King level was like an invisible network, instantly connecting closely with the entire Douluo God Realm. The flow of energy and fluctuations of laws in every corner were clearly reflected in his mind.

He could feel the subtle tremors of the divine realm under the gravity of the black hole, and he could also feel the reserve of divine power slowly but steadily flowing away.

"Douluo God Realm is ready." Tang San's voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of the other six God Kings through inter-god realm communication.

Soon, responses came one after another: "Children of Light, divine realm, ready!" The voice of the God-King of Light, Chang Gongwei, was gentle yet firm.

"The God Realm of Mad Gods, ready! Come on!"—The voice of Mad God Lei Xiang was filled with an eager fighting spirit.

"The realm of the Grim Reaper, no objections." — Grim Reaper Adai succinctly stated.

"The Immortal Realm is ready; the formation may be activated." — Immortal Emperor Hailong spoke with a leisurely air.

"Star trail at high speed, coordinates locked, energy loop clear." — Heavenly Emperor Tianhen calmly reported.

"The zither music has been tuned; awaiting harmonious resonance." — The voice of the Zither Emperor Ye Yinzhu flowed like a clear spring.

The seven divine realms, like seven stars preparing for a desperate battle in the abyss of darkness, have all reached their peak.

"Let's begin the first step: the fusion of the God Realm's central hub!" Tang San, as the leader, issued the first command.

In an instant, the seven divine realms simultaneously erupted with indescribably brilliant light! The azure of the Douluo God Realm, the platinum of the Child of Light God Realm, the blood red of the Mad God God Realm, the pitch black of the Death God God Realm, the cyan of the Solitary Immortal God Realm, the silver-white of the Starry Sky God Realm, and the seven colors of the Qin Emperor God Realm—seven divine lights representing different laws and origins, like seven surging galaxies, broke through the barriers of their respective divine realms and fiercely converged in the distorted spacetime of the black hole!

This is not a simple superposition of energy, but a collision and fusion at the level of laws! Different rules of the divine realms clash and repel each other, yet, guided by a shared will to survive and a pre-set fusion array, they struggle to find a balance of coexistence and complementarity. The seven god-kings who control the central hub of the divine realm are all under immense pressure at this moment. Their divine senses are highly concentrated, carefully guiding the laws of their respective divine realms, like the most intricate embroiderers weaving together seven distinct "threads."

Where the light intertwined, a blurry, constantly twisting and changing strange ball of light began to form. It was the prototype of the newly born "Great God Circle" God Realm Central Hub, which had integrated the core rules of the seven God Realms!

Its aura is sometimes violent, sometimes peaceful, sometimes deathly still, and sometimes full of vitality, full of contradictions and uncertainties, but the energy level contained within it is climbing at an astonishing speed!

This process lasted an unknown amount of time, seemingly a moment, yet also like millennia. When the strange ball of light finally stabilized, emanating a unique pressure that was all-encompassing and transcended any single divine realm, the first step was a success!

"Second step, God Realm Main Body, Collision!" Tang San's resolute voice resounded in the hearts of every god.

Without hesitation, without retreat, the seven God-Kings, simultaneously controlling their respective divine realms, resolutely broke away from the stable orbits they had been painstakingly maintaining, like seven meteors imbued with their own will, hurtling headlong into the newly formed "Great God Circle" at its center!

This is not self-destruction, but a desperate gamble to survive! They want to use the earth-shattering energy generated when the divine bodies collide, energy powerful enough to shake the rules, to simulate the great "Big Bang" at the beginning of the universe!

boom-!!!!!!!

An indescribable roar erupted violently within the black hole, in a region where even sound should be swallowed up, in a way that defied the laws of physics!

At the moment the seven divine realms collided, time seemed to freeze. Then, there was an overwhelming light!

An indescribable light of color and intensity spread out from the point of impact, as if the creator god had wielded the first axe to create the world!

Wherever the light passed, even the terrifying gravity of the black hole was briefly distorted and repelled!

A terrifying energy storm swept across everything, and the outer shells of the seven divine realms shattered inch by inch in the collision, peeling away like eggshells to reveal the core structure inside and countless panicked yet resolute gods.

However, amidst this devastating scene, the newly formed "Great God Circle" central hub, like the eye of a storm, frantically absorbed the destructive energy generated by the collision and transformed it into an even more violent and primal force—"Creation"!

"Now! Detonate the central core, blast open the breach! Everyone, hold your nerves and rush out with the central core!" Tang San's voice roared deep within the souls of every god, filled with unquestionable decisiveness!

Upon receiving the order, the seven god-kings unhesitatingly poured all their remaining divine power, along with their belief in protecting their respective divine beings, into the central hub of the radiant "Great God Circle," whose energy had already reached its critical point!

Buzz—! ! !

A chaotic pillar of light, condensed to its extreme and seemingly compressed from countless law runes, suddenly erupted from the central core of the "Great God Circle." Instead of spreading outwards, it pierced fiercely towards the seemingly indestructible horizon of the black hole like a divine spear that could split the heavens and the earth!

Sizzle—!

A chilling sound, like cloth being forcibly torn apart, came from within!

Under the impact of that chaotic pillar of light, the dark boundary of the black hole, which devours everything, was actually torn open with a tiny, constantly twisting and flickering crack!

Beyond the crack lies the familiar, deep darkness of normal space, dotted with countless stars!

"The gap has been opened! Charge!"

Without needing to say more, the seven god-kings, in perfect unison, controlled their respective already shattered cores of the divine realm. Like seven streams of light pursuing freedom, they closely followed the "Great God Circle" central hub, which served as the vanguard, and raced desperately toward the crack that symbolized life!

The black hole's gravity pulled wildly behind it, trying to drag this "prey" that dared to challenge its authority back into the abyss.

The crack is extremely unstable, with space constantly collapsing and annihilating at its edges. Every second is like dancing on a knife's edge, with the possibility of being severed by the re-closing crack or torn apart by the collapsing spatial turbulence at any moment.

At this crucial moment, Dai Yuhao, who had been seizing the time to recover, suddenly opened his eyes! The vertical eye on his forehead, created by the undead scourge Ilex and usually hidden, suddenly appeared on its own and began to vibrate violently at an unprecedented frequency!

The extreme chaos of the external energy storm, the violent conflict between the black hole and the laws of the new universe, and the extreme survival belief and hope of the gods of the seven divine realms—all these extreme conditions created a strange catalytic effect, frantically stimulating his "Eye of Destiny"!

"Ah—!" Dai Yuhao let out a low roar, feeling as if his soul was about to be sucked away and torn apart by the eye on his forehead! The intense pain almost made him faint, but he gritted his teeth and endured it with his incomparably strong willpower.

Just before the core of the Douluo God Realm was about to rush into the crack, Dai Yuhao's vertical eye on his forehead suddenly burst out with an indescribable, clear radiance that seemed to see through the past and future and understand the essence of all things!

The light wasn't dazzling, but it carried an eternal charm. The shape of the vertical eye also changed, becoming more ancient and mysterious, with countless phantoms of stars rising and falling, and threads of fate intertwined deep within its pupils!

The ultimate artifact, the Eye of Eternity, evolved completely at this critical juncture of life and death, catalyzed by the extreme environment and guided by Dai Yuhao's own unwavering will!

The moment the evolution was complete, Dai Yuhao felt his divine sense spread with unprecedented clarity. The path ahead, which had been difficult to perceive due to the chaotic energy, now became clearly visible to him. He could even vaguely discern the most stable and safest route through the spatial rift!

"Father-in-law! Three points to the left, follow the trajectory I marked!" Despite the weakness brought on by evolution and the severe consumption of his divine sense, Dai Yuhao transmitted the most crucial information to Tang San through his divine sense.

Without the slightest hesitation, Tang San immediately adjusted the core of the Douluo God Realm according to the minute angle indicated by Dai Yuhao. It was this extremely subtle adjustment that allowed the Douluo God Realm to narrowly avoid a quietly forming spatial rift, and instead plunge into the crack along a relatively stable area!

As if in a chain reaction, following the Douluo God Realm, the cores of the other six God Realms also followed the passage that had been temporarily stabilized by the Douluo God Realm and struggled to break out of the crack!

When the last flame of the Divine Realm One Qin Emperor Divine Realm disappeared into the crack, the gap that had been forcibly torn open finally could not withstand the repairing power of the black hole itself, and suddenly closed and disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Beyond the black hole, the endless starry sky is tranquil and dazzling.

Seven dilapidated, dimly lit cores of the divine realm, along with the central "Great Divine Circle," which, though its light had diminished, exuded a new and powerful aura, floated silently in the void of the universe. A post-apocalyptic silence enveloped all the deities.

They succeeded.

Dai Yuhao leaned weakly against Tang Wutong. The newly formed "Eternal Eye" on his forehead had disappeared again, but his aura had undergone a qualitative leap, truly stepping into the level of a God-King. He looked at the familiar starry sky outside the window, his eyes filled with emotion.

Tang San let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally able to relax a little. He turned to look in the direction of the Sea God's Temple, silently thinking, "Xiao Wu, we—we're out. The next step is home."

Breaking free from the black hole's confinement did not mean the crisis was completely over. The seven divine realms were like ships that had barely surfaced after a devastating shipwreck, their hulls wrecked and their energy on the verge of depletion.

However, the cruelty and opportunity of the universe often go hand in hand.

Just as the core of the seven divine realms was suspended in the starry sky, and the gods had not yet had time to savor the joy of surviving the calamity, a strange change occurred again at the black hole gap that they had blasted open together!

Although the gap closed quickly, just before it completely disappeared, an indescribable aura, seemingly containing the most primal and fundamental power of the universe, surged out from the depths of the black hole like a flood bursting its banks!

It was a chaotic flow of energy, neither energy nor matter, yet it seemed to be the source of all energy and matter. The faint aura it emitted caused subtle distortions and resonances in the rules of the surrounding starry sky!

"The Origin of Chaos!" Almost simultaneously, this awe-inspiring term resonated in the minds of the seven God-Kings. At their level, they were all keenly aware of the preciousness and rarity of the Origin of Chaos.

This is the primordial power that existed in large quantities at the beginning of creation. It is the cornerstone for the evolution of all things and the construction of laws. For beings at the level of God-King, even a trace of it is enough to give them a qualitative leap in their understanding of their own laws, and they may even be able to touch a higher level of realm through it!

Although the amount of chaotic origin revealed seems substantial, it is but a drop in the ocean compared to the size of the black hole itself.

Moreover, the black hole's terrifying gravity is frantically pulling these leaking "treasures" back into the abyss, and the chaotic airflow is visibly swirling backward!

Opportunities are fleeting!

At this moment, all restraint and barriers are cast aside. Beyond the instinct for survival lies the instinct to pursue a higher realm!

"Guided by the light, the holy flames form a cage!" The God King of Light, Chang Gongwei, reacted the fastest. He held his hands in a gesture of repose, and the endless holy platinum flames transformed into a huge birdcage-like structure. Instead of directly confronting the black hole's gravity, he cleverly enveloped a chaotic current of energy, using the "purification" and "binding" properties of the laws of light to forcibly separate a small clump from the gravitational field and quickly retract it.

"Roar! Come here, you bastard!" The most direct and domineering was the Mad God Lei Xiang. He transformed into a giant ten thousand feet tall, his blood energy soaring to the sky. He stretched out his giant hand covered with dark red scales and, like catching a fish, fiercely plunged it into the swirling chaotic energy. With his unparalleled physical strength and violent destructive will, he forcibly tore a small piece off from the gravitational field. He didn't care at all, even as the chaotic energy burned his palm and made a hissing sound. Instead, his eyes revealed wild joy.

The most bizarre of all was the Grim Reaper, Ah-Dai. Instead of directly snatching it, he opened his palm, and a phantom of a book exuding a dark and deathly aura appeared—the ultimate artifact, "The Death Note."

The pages moved without wind, and an invisible force of stripping away from "existence" itself enveloped a chaotic current of air. The current of air seemed to be temporarily isolated from the fate of being "swallowed" and was silently incorporated into a page of his notebook.

The Immortal Emperor Hailong lightly waved his whisk, his Daoist principles flowing naturally, and a Yin-Yang Tai Chi phantom appeared around him. The Tai Chi diagram slowly rotated, generating a mysterious suction force. It was not a force to resist the gravity of a black hole, but rather, like using minimal force to deflect a great weight, it guided a wisp of chaotic energy away from its original trajectory, flowing along the Yin-Yang eyes of the Tai Chi diagram and into the Qiankun within his sleeve.

Data streams flashed wildly in the eyes of the Heavenly Emperor Tianhen. He manipulated the core of the Starry Sky God Realm and instantly calculated several extremely weak "equilibrium points" between the trajectory of the chaotic airflow and the gravitational field.

He flicked his finger, and several silver spatial beacons were precisely shot toward those equilibrium points, briefly creating a few tiny gravitational disturbance zones. Taking advantage of this, he used spatial folding technology to capture a few strands of dissipated chaotic origins.

Emperor Qin, Ye Yinzhu, sat cross-legged, holding the divine artifact, the Dry Wood Dragon's Roar Qin, across his lap. His ten fingers flew across the strings, and a piece of music containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, "Cultivating Source and Tranquilizing Mind," began to play.

The sound of the zither was formless, yet it seemed to transform into the most resilient thread, winding around a stream of chaotic energy. It was not a forceful pull, but rather a resonance with the origin of chaos through its unique rhythm, guiding it like a fledgling returning to its nest, willingly throwing itself into his embrace.

Tang San, as the leader, employed even more astonishing methods. The marks of the Sea God Trident and the Asura Blood Sword simultaneously shone on his brow.

The azure power of the sea god and the dark red power of the Asura intertwined, transforming into a gigantic sheet, one half containing endless tides of life.

A net of laws, half imbued with the intent of killing and judgment, enveloped a rather thick stream of chaotic energy.

The network formed by the two completely opposite supreme divine powers produced a strange binding effect, forcibly dragging back the struggling chaotic origin. Although the process was extremely costly, the gains were also the most considerable.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. After the black hole completely closed and the last wisp of chaotic origin was swallowed back, silence returned to the starry sky.

Each of the seven god-kings used their own methods to obtain some of the Chaos Origin, though the amount was small. However, the primordial mysteries contained within were enough for them to study diligently for countless years.

However, before they could fully savor this unexpected joy, a heart-pounding wave came from behind them once again!

The enormous black hole, seemingly having been forcibly torn open, had its internal balance disrupted, becoming even more unstable, with the edge of its event horizon beginning to writhe and expand violently!

It is expanding at a visible rate! The terrifying gravitational tides are intensifying again, like an invisible giant maw trying to swallow the "food" that just escaped back into its belly!

Tang San's expression changed, and he immediately suppressed his distracting thoughts, solemnly shouting, "Everyone! The black hole has undergone an anomaly; this place is not safe to stay any longer! Quickly restore our divine power, stabilize the God Realm, and we must set sail immediately to get far away from this place!"

Without him needing to say more, the other six God-Kings also sensed the imminent crisis. The slight excitement from just seizing the origin of chaos was instantly replaced by an immense sense of urgency.

They immediately sat down cross-legged, absorbing the meager energy in the universe (though far less concentrated than in the divine realm, it was still enough to replenish their energy), while guiding their respective damaged divine realm cores toward the newly formed "Great Divine Circle" central hub.

The seven fragmented cores, like rivers flowing into the sea, began to revolve and merge around the central hub of the "Great God Circle." Having shared life and death experiences and seized opportunities together, the fusion of the seven divine realms became much smoother.

Different colors of divine light intertwined, and under the faint influence of the chaotic primordial aura, the shattered boundary began to slowly repair and merge itself. A new divine realm outline, the Great Divine Circle, which was larger, more stable, and radiated the light of seven intertwined laws, was gradually taking shape.

"Yuhao!" Tang San looked at Dai Yuhao, who was weak but had exceptionally clear eyes.

Dai Yuhao understood and immediately closed his eyes, the "Eternal Eye" mark on his forehead flickering slightly. The evolved artifact granted him a stronger sense of intuition and direction.

He carefully sensed the faint call that might have come from Douluo Star, as well as the macroscopic patterns of the universe.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes and pointed in a direction in the starry sky: "Over there! This direction gives me an extremely faint sense of familiarity and attraction; it should be the route to the Douluo Starfield!"

"Alright! Great God Circle, set sail!" Without hesitation, Tang San, together with the other six God Kings, activated the Great God Circle, which was still in its early stages of fusion and showed signs of immaturity but had boundless potential. It transformed into a seven-colored rainbow light that spanned the starry sea and began its long and unknown journey of return in the direction indicated by Dai Yuhao.

Behind them stretched an ever-expanding black hole, radiating an ominous aura. Ahead lay the uncertain path home, a journey of unknown proportions and light-years away.

But in any case, they finally escaped their predicament and, with wounds and gains, embarked on their journey home.

No one knows how long the journey will take or what they will encounter along the way. Only the heart yearning to return home, like an eternal lighthouse, guides the way.
