Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 246 Everyone Becomes a God, Five Great Divine Envoys Infiltrate the City

When Chrysanthemum Douluo was struck, Jerry was startled.

Fortunately, it was only the first lightning tribulation, and its power was limited. Chrysanthemum Douluo's own strength was also very solid. It only cracked Chrysanthemum Douluo's hair, turned his skin a little black, and scorched his clothes.

Once he realized what was happening, Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly enveloped his entire body with his soul power, using soul power armor to cover himself so that even his eyes were not visible. After covering himself with one layer, he felt it wasn't enough, so he added two more layers.

The second lightning tribulation struck down, splitting two layers of the outer soul power armor. Upon seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo remembered that Jerry had said that each lightning tribulation was stronger than the last. The second one had already split two layers of defense, and the third one was probably even more powerful.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was undergoing his first tribulation, and it was a divine tribulation at that. He was initially terrified, so the moment the second lightning bolt struck, he immediately added nine layers of armor to himself, which was the maximum number of layers he could add.

Adding armor still wasn't enough, so he took out a healing and recovery array plate. This was something Jerry made for fun before; it was small and easy to carry. If he got injured, he could just sit on it and recover.

Jerry didn't expect his master to be so afraid. Adding nine layers of soul power armor wasn't enough; he even took out the array plate.

The third lightning strike cleaved through four layers of soul power armor, but Chrysanthemum Douluo instantly replenished four layers.

The fourth lightning tribulation struck six layers, and at this point, Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to panic a little.

The fifth lightning tribulation had already struck through eight layers; at this rate, the next one would be able to cleave through the entire defense.

Before Chrysanthemum Douluo could react to what to do, the sixth lightning tribulation struck down.

In an instant, the nine layers of defense were pierced, directly hitting Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Chrysanthemum Douluo trembled for a moment but recovered quickly. It's possible that after the lightning tribulation pierced through the nine layers of protective shield, he didn't have much energy left.

Once he regained his senses, Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't hesitate at all. He immediately added nine more layers of defense and then took out a large array plate from his ring.

When Jerry saw the array plate, he knew what kind of array it was. It was a defensive array plate added to the base of the house, and his master was even carrying it.

Perhaps feeling that one wasn't enough, they took out more than a dozen.

The seventh lightning strike only damaged three defensive array plates. These defensive array plates seemed to be quite useful. At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo breathed a sigh of relief and took out three more defensive array plates to replace them.

Even Jerry couldn't stand it anymore at this point; his master was really cautious.

The eighth strike cleaved through eight defensive array plates; the ninth strike cleaved through sixteen defensive array plates.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo directly replenished the defensive array plates to thirty-two, and after thinking for a moment, took out eight more.

Forty layers of defensive array plates, nine layers of soul power armor, Master, how afraid of death are you? Jerry was worried that Master wouldn't be able to withstand his attack, but now it seems there was no need for that at all.

The tenth and final lightning tribulation was larger than the previous nine. It instantly pierced through forty layers of defensive array plates, then continued to pierce through eight layers of soul power armor. The ninth layer of armor was also trembling, but it ultimately failed to penetrate.

The dark clouds in the sky were furious, turning completely black, and looked like they were about to strike down, but they didn't and quickly dissipated.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo was sitting cross-legged on the ground when suddenly a sound of air friction rang out. Chrysanthemum Douluo had broken through to level 100, and Jerry immediately shouted, "Master, don't condense your own divine ring!"

Upon hearing Jerry's voice, Chrysanthemum Douluo stopped. Jerry then told him that the Spirit Hall had a million-year-old spirit beast that could directly create divine rings, and that the Grand Elder and Poseidon both used such divine rings.

After becoming a god, Chrysanthemum Douluo, like the Great Elder Poseidon, did not have a godhood; he only broke through to the god level in terms of strength.

However, the way Chrysanthemum Douluo overcame his tribulation also gave Jerry some inspiration: soul power armor and defensive arrays can withstand lightning tribulations.

Chrysanthemum Douluo only used the initial defensive formation. When Jerry perfected the formation, there were many kinds of defensive formations, which were much better than Chrysanthemum Douluo's.

However, when Chrysanthemum Douluo broke through, no golden light descended. It seems that there are conditions for the golden light to descend, and Chrysanthemum Douluo did not meet the conditions.

The world consciousness should have known, and only after inquiring did it fully understand. Previously, it was a world advancement; their breakthroughs were a reward, and also a declaration to all species on the continent that godhood was possible.

Besides, the golden light only appears when someone inherits a divine position, and only then will it be announced to the entire continent.

Therefore, it seems that as long as one goes to a remote place to undergo tribulation, no one will know that one has made a breakthrough.

Jerry and Chrysanthemum Douluo then returned to the Spirit Hall, where Ghost Douluo and their fellow disciples were anxiously waiting. Seeing the two return safely, although Chrysanthemum Douluo was a bit disheveled, his aura was still strong, clearly indicating success, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The divine tribulation is only slightly more powerful than the soul beast lightning tribulation, and judging from today's situation, it is entirely defensible.

Jerry gathered some lightning-attribute materials and began constructing a lightning-attribute defensive array. Unlike his master, who only inscribed one array on a single array plate, Jerry could inscribe complex arrays.

However, a complex formation can have a maximum of nine different formations; nine is the limit, and adding one more will lead to failure.

It must be due to the rules of the world; nine is the ultimate number in the heavens, and this world is like that too.

He created ten such complex defensive formations in succession, and then led everyone to the place of tribulation. He set up a large recovery and healing formation on the ground, unlike the small one his master had before.

Next up was Ghost Douluo. After setting up ten composite defensive arrays, Jerry came up with a fun idea.

They took out a thousand empty lightning-attribute energy storage devices and connected them to the defensive array.

After doing all this, Jerry began to channel the power of faith into Ghost Douluo.

Ghost Douluo has absolutely no faith power, so it consumes a lot of energy and takes a long time to transform.

After his body was completely transformed into a divine form by the power of faith, the divine tribulation came again.

There are ninety layers of defense, and below each layer there is a lightning gathering array. Every time a lightning tribulation breaks through a layer, the dissipated lightning tribulation energy is absorbed by the lightning gathering array before it can dissipate, and then transmitted to the lightning attribute energy storage device.

This is much faster than naturally absorbing lightning-attribute soul power. Now, Wuhun City is very large, and most people cannot afford to use attribute energy and still need to use electricity, which consumes a lot of electricity. Although lightning-attribute soul power is converted into electricity in large quantities, it cannot withstand the use of all industries in the city. Therefore, lightning-attribute consumption is the greatest.

Ten lightning bolts struck, but only fifty layers of defense were broken through. Ghost Douluo sat under the lightning bolts the whole time, watching without being touched.

After the tribulation, he successfully broke through to level 100 and became a god.

Next were the senior and junior sisters, who all made it through safely.

After that, Jerry arranged for them to absorb the divine ring.

The world's consciousness suddenly connected with Jerry, and this method of overcoming the divine tribulation could no longer be used. The world's rules had changed because of Jerry.

The defensive formation will be taken into account as part of the tribulation seeker's strength, and the lightning tribulation will be doubled according to the tribulation seeker's strength.

Originally, being struck by a divine tribulation was the only way to transform into a divine body, so being struck by a tribulation had its benefits. Jerry directly used the power of faith to transform them into divine bodies. The world felt that the divine tribulation was useless, so a new rule was born.

However, the world's consciousness also told Jerry that they usually cultivated in the gravity field, so their physical strength was very high. Even if they used their physical bodies to withstand the divine tribulation, they would only suffer some injuries at most. Moreover, the lightning tribulation could help them further temper their bodies, so there was nothing to worry about.

Many people have perished under divine tribulations in the past because they did not pay attention to their physical strength and therefore could not withstand them.

After absorbing the divine ring, everyone perfectly advanced to the god level. It's a bit of a pity that none of them have a godhood.

If it weren't for Jerry's interference, Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue would both have had divine positions, but now they've become ordinary gods.

Jerry now has plenty of energy reserves and will no longer cause power shortages in Wuhun City.

The Soul Ring Maker was upgraded before; the upgraded version should be called the Divine Ring Maker. Now, it only takes one hour to make a Divine Ring.

That day, after everyone had successfully absorbed the power, they returned to their residences to experience the strength they had gained after becoming gods.

Don't tell anyone about how everyone became gods; keep a low profile.

Since his encounter with the Silver Dragon King, Jerry's resistance had weakened considerably, so he went to spar with Zhu Zhuqing that very night.

Zhu Zhuqing had just become a god and couldn't withstand Jerry for long. She was no match for Jerry and was quickly defeated, feeling weak all over and too lazy to move.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was no match for him, Jerry helped her with her treatment, then put her on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

The next day at noon, Zhu Zhuqing regained her strength and, looking at Jerry beside her, punched him directly in the chest with her little fists.

As soon as Zhu Zhuqing moved, Jerry woke up, grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's little fist with his backhand, and pulled her into Jerry's arms.

"Zhuqing, would you like to come again?"

Sensing Jerry's unusual behavior, Zhu Zhuqing blushed and said shyly, "Senior brother, you're inhuman! How can you be so powerful now? Please let me go, I haven't recovered yet!"

After spending a few hours cuddling with Zhu Qing, the two got up.

Jerry checked Zhu Qing's condition. The Netherworld Cat was indeed a top-tier martial soul. After becoming a god, Zhu Qing directly comprehended 30% of the dark attribute rules.

The next step in cultivation is to comprehend the rules. However, Jerry is not going to tell everyone about what happened in the small world yet, as the aftereffects are too great. He's afraid that others will end up like Jerry before. Let them slowly comprehend it in the main world first.

After Tang San and his companions became gods, they secretly began to expand their territory on a large scale, eliminating anyone who stood in their way.

After their makeover, Tang San and his companions personally visited Wuhun City. Yu Xiaogang showed them the training tower and gravity field, and then took them shopping. Tang San was very interested in the Soul Guidance Vehicle, which looked like it was made of metal, but he couldn't figure out why it could move.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were immediately drawn to all kinds of delicious food upon their arrival, spending their days either at restaurants or on their way to them.

Yu Xiaogang went to the library, where he was very interested in the new information about the Spirit Hall.

After watching for a few days, he gained some insights, but it wasn't what he truly wanted.

There are no records of formations, elixirs, or soul tools in the publicly accessible library.

The Spirit Hall Academy should have one, but getting an identity would be difficult; I don't know if sneaking in is feasible. The Spirit Hall Academy is next to the inner city, so others wouldn't be able to find him, but Qian Daoliu or Poseidon might.

There's another thing: Yu Xiaogang has always wanted to find an opportunity to meet Pope Bibi Dong.

He had already inquired about it before. After Bibi Dong came out of seclusion, she took over the power of the Spirit Hall for a period of time, and then suddenly relinquished it and stopped managing the affairs of the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong now lives in the floating courtyard and rarely goes out.

Yu Xiaogang felt that Jerry must be unwilling to relinquish his power and had imprisoned Bibi Dong. He was determined to see Bibi Dong and rescue her.

Before, I didn't have the strength to even dream of it, but now that I've become a god, I can't reveal my true identity.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Looking at the floating courtyard above the inner city of the Spirit Hall, he often wanted to sneak in and take a look.

There were too many courtyards up there, and he hadn't been able to find out exactly which one Bibi Dong lived in. He couldn't possibly search for her one by one. If he was lucky, he might find her, but if he was unlucky and ran into Qian Daoliu and Poseidon, he'd be finished, even if he delivered himself right to their doorstep.

As for Dugu Yan, she kept inquiring about the dungeons and even managed to infiltrate several dungeons, but she still couldn't find Poison Douluo.

She firmly believed that her grandfather was still alive because the Spirit Hall had not announced the death of Poison Douluo.

Poison Douluo is indeed still alive, he's just not in the dungeon.

Jerry used a spirit-dispersing array to create soul-guided shackles. Once put on, they would be sent to other places for labor reform.

Poison Douluo is currently undergoing labor reform outside, carrying building materials.

The loss of soul power might be a bad thing for others, but for Poison Douluo, it was actually a good thing.

The soul power within his body always carried a kind of toxin. His martial soul would generate some of this toxin every day. This toxin was a mixed poison that was difficult to remove and continued to erode Poison Douluo's body.

The Soul Shackles were dispelled, scattering his soul power, and even the soul power hidden within his body. Every time his martial soul generated soul power, it would be scattered, so the toxins also dissipated along with this soul power.

Without these toxins, Poison Douluo is now very healthy. With his title Douluo physique, he works very quickly and completes his tasks early every day.

Although the Spirit Hall forces criminals to undergo labor reform, it assigns them a reasonable amount of work and does not oppress them.

These tasks were easy for Poison Douluo, and they were all physically demanding. The Spirit Hall provided excellent food, with three meals a day and more than a hundred dishes to choose from each meal, and each dish was delicious. Over the years, he not only recovered his health but also gained weight.

Without the toxins, Poison Douluo no longer worried about the backlash of his soul power, so his mood improved and he often chatted with others.

If you look at Poison Douluo now, you will only think of him as a kind old man, and you will never think that he was once the titled Douluo Dugu Bo who was feared by everyone and poisoned an entire city.
