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

Chapter 276 Reactions of Various Forces to the World's Advancement

Jerry's explanation put many people at ease.

Although there is still some panic, compared to the previous state, it feels like a reassurance.

Once people understood the reason, their fear of the unknown dissipated considerably.

The world stage was a rematch, and although I had experienced it once before, the scene from that time is still vivid in my mind.

The world seemed to have experienced a natural disaster, and everything changed in an instant.

However, afterwards, the Spirit Hall helped everyone rebuild their homes, making them even better.

On the surface, the world's advancement destroyed many things, but in reality, it was also a rebirth. Since the last advancement, the continent has been developing rapidly, which is evident to all.

Previously, the Spirit Hall had explained the World Advancement to all the people on the continent, and many people were aware of it and thought that it would be very lucky to experience the World Advancement once in their lifetime.

After all, the Spirit Hall's popular science article stated that the world's advancement only happens once every few million years, and we never expected to be fortunate enough to experience it again.

Having experienced two world championships in one lifetime, I can boast about this to future generations.

The measures used in the last World Cup qualifying campaign were still in effect, so everyone was not too worried and quickly moved to the city with their belongings, finding the route easy.

Tang San and his companions were quite surprised to hear that the world was about to advance again. What exactly did the Spirit Hall do to allow the world to advance so quickly?

The last time it advanced, the world could accommodate a god-level powerhouse, so much so that after breaking through to godhood, one could no longer ascend to the god realm. What changes have occurred after this advancement?

Furthermore, Tang San also wanted to know what benefits the continent would receive after the world advanced.

Spirit world

The five great god-kings convened another god-king conference.

"During the last world advancement, not only did many changes occur in the Douluo Continent, but our God Realm also underwent significant changes, and the rules became easier to comprehend."

"This time, the world's pressure has directly covered the realm of gods. It seems the world is about to advance again."

"Back then, the Dragon God wanted to advance the world and implemented various measures, but in the end, they all failed."

"In order to cultivate to a higher level, the Dragon God opened up the God Realm, which gave us a chance to become gods."

"What even the Dragon God couldn't do, the people of the lower realm have now accomplished. And this is their second advancement. The second advancement is far more difficult than the first."

"I really don't know how the people in the lower realm did it. I have to admire them. In such a short time, they made the world advance for the second time."

The Asura God sighed and said that the world's advancement would also benefit them.

After all, the God Realm is subordinate to the Douluo Continent.

As the world advances, the secret realms opened up on the Douluo Continent will also be upgraded.

"Is the lower realm developing too fast? I'm a little worried!"

The God of Destruction frowned and slowly expressed his concerns.

"Worried? What's there to worry about? The world's advancement is a good thing. Not only should we not stop it, we should also help the world advance smoothly."

"With the first advancement, the cultivation ceiling increased, making it easier for everyone to comprehend the rules. Now, with the second advancement, how much will the cultivation ceiling increase next?"

"I feel that being a God-King is not the end; there are new realms above it."

"Why did we seek a successor? Wasn't it because our cultivation was restricted by the world? So we wanted to break free from the limitations of godhood as soon as possible. Now that the world has advanced and the upper limit has increased, there is absolutely no need to seek a successor anymore."

Asura God had always been the backbone, and his words instantly earned the approval of the other god-kings.

"Haha, you're right. Now that the ceiling has been raised, we can continue cultivating. We're already at a very high level, so what's there to worry about?"

"Even if the people below are truly geniuses, it would probably take them millions of years to catch up to our current level, and we will continue to improve during that time."

"The people below are geniuses; which of our gods wasn't a genius at some point?"

"We've advanced to the world level, so we're already at a high starting point. The chances of them catching up to us are slim."

"Looking at it this way, the people below are working so hard to advance the world, but it's all just a favor to us, hahaha."

The God of Evil burst into laughter, his excitement infectious, and the other god-kings joined in the laughter.

"So, should we abandon our previous plan? The pressure in this world is so strong that ordinary people would be terrified if they didn't know. At this time, those inheritors of the gods in the lower realm are starting to cause trouble, and they might very well succeed."

The God of Kindness said that he had thought about the previous arrangements, and that if the previous plan had succeeded, it might have affected the world's advancement.

With this advancement and the pressure from the world, the people of the mainland will definitely panic. This is the perfect opportunity for them to rise up and cause trouble.

The god-kings, who were initially quite pleased, were stunned upon hearing the news. They quickly sent messages to several gods with successors, instructing them to find a way to contact their successors in the lower realms and tell them not to cause trouble.

Poseidon has really become the scapegoat now, everyone is asking him to deliver messages.

It was alright before, but now that the world is advancing, the pressure is immense, and the spatial barriers are still changing, constantly strengthening, and becoming unstable.

At this point, transmitting a message to the lower realm is extremely difficult. It requires consuming a portion of one's power to stabilize the surrounding space, and the amount consumed is incomparable to normal times.

Moreover, the God-King informed them about the world's advancement, and now the God of Food, the God of Poison, the God of the Sea, and the God of Fire are filled with regret.

The succession of divine positions has ended, and it can be said that Tang San and his companions are now gods with divine positions.

Once Tang San and his companions arrive in the God Realm, the scepter of the Godhood will automatically be transferred to them.

Now the God-King tells them that after this world's advancement, the upper limit of cultivation has also increased.

This made them so regretful it was heartbreaking.

Gods with divine positions receive a boost in their cultivation, making their cultivation faster.

Now that they have lost their divine status, aren't they just like ordinary gods?

The world didn't advance earlier or later, but only after we few passed on our divine positions. It's truly disgusting.

Divine succession is extremely difficult for other gods to inherit unless they choose to do so voluntarily.

When a god with a divine position falls from grace, he leaves behind a legacy, like the god of thunder or the angel god.

However, some gods, after their fall, were unwilling to leave behind their legacy. These gods waited for the day they would be resurrected. Although it is difficult to resurrect a god, it does not mean there is no chance. Therefore, these gods were unwilling to relinquish their divine positions.

Ordinary gods, when they fall, are truly gone. But gods with divine positions are like those given a job by the world, working for the world.

As long as the divine position remains, there is a chance of resurrection.

These gods of the divine realm can be said to have defied the heavens and rebelled against the world, and have long been labeled as traitors by the world.

The only problem is that the divine realm has a central hub, so the world can't do anything about them.

They benefited greatly from their divine position, but this also limited them.

Therefore, they wanted to break free from their divine status and seek a higher level of advancement.

You've gotten rid of it.

But now that the world has advanced, the upper limit of cultivation has increased, and the upper limit of these god-level positions has also increased accordingly.

But at this point, their divine positions were passed down to others, leaving them speechless.

The God-King also warned them not to interfere with the world's advancement, and even to help the world advance if necessary.

Painful baby!

However, the task of relaying messages still needs to be done by themselves. The inheritors in the lower realm are together, and they only need the Sea God to convey the message and then relay it to each other.

The God of Fire, the God of Poison, and the God of Food did not let the God of the Sea suffer any losses; they gave him some cultivation resources as a subsidy for delivering messages.

The sea god had no choice but to silently accept it.

I don't know if there's an amplification formation. After the amplification, the Sea God can forcibly break through the spatial barrier and contact the inheritor in the lower realm.

"My successors, heed my command! Do not interfere with the world's advancement. If the world needs your assistance, do your utmost to help it. Other successors, you must inform them of this as well. Remember this!"

The sea god briefly conveyed his meaning: contacting the lower realm now is extremely costly, requiring a huge amount of resources even in the shortest amount of time.

The message had been delivered, and Poseidon was preparing to disconnect when Tang San said something that made Poseidon feel aggrieved.

"Rest assured, Poseidon, we never intended to interfere with the world's advancement at this time."

Tang San spoke earnestly to the Sea God who had contacted him.

This was the only sentence Poseidon heard before disconnecting. It wasn't that Poseidon didn't want to stay connected for even a second longer; the main problem was the excessive resource consumption, and Poseidon wanted to conserve some resources.

After Tang San finished speaking, he continued talking, but the Sea God had already disconnected, and the rest of the conversation could not be heard.

Poseidon was extremely frustrated at this moment.

How come I'm so quick? I should listen to what Tang San has to say.

Furthermore, Tang San and the others never intended to stop the world from advancing, so sending a message themselves would be redundant.

Damn it.

Lower bound

Tang San was also taken aback. How could the Sea God disappear after just contacting him and saying a single sentence?

It also implies the sea god, suggesting that the gods also hope the world will advance.

But what are the benefits of advancing in this world?

Tang San genuinely didn't notice.

After the previous world advancement, they also cultivated to the god level, but they did not know how to cultivate after that.

Therefore, Tang San and his companions did not feel any benefits after the world advanced.

The gods in the divine realm all possess very ancient ideas, and their knowledge monopoly is extremely strict; nothing is leaked outside the divine realm.

It seems like Jerry was behind the world's advancement.

Tang San felt that it would be best not to cause trouble now. Helping Jerry was out of the question; even if the gods sent a message, Tang San wouldn't obey.

Wuhundian

"I knew it was Jerry! He caused such a huge mess!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo stroked his beardless chin and said.

"It's true! I didn't expect the world to advance again. That's amazing!"

Qian Daoliu is very happy now. Last time he advanced in the world, his body directly recovered to the prime of life. Now that he has advanced again, his body will recover even further.

Furthermore, with the world advancing and the average lifespan of humans increasing, doesn't that mean humans have more time for cultivation?

After the world advanced, the concentration of soul power in the entire world increased several times.

The number of newly awakened children with soul power has also greatly increased.

If they advance again this time, the concentration of soul power across the entire continent will increase once more.

Increasing the concentration of soul power has enormous benefits for both humans and other living beings.

There was always a hurdle in Qian Daoliu's heart.

The fact that no one could inherit the position of the Angel God was something that he could never let go of.

Why has the Angel Family been striving for so many years?

The purpose is to find a talented family member to inherit the legacy of the Angel God.

After so many years without seeing any hope, finally, with Qian Renxue's generation, he saw hope again, and he saw someone who could inherit the legacy of the Angel God.

Sure, things didn't go as planned!

Before you know it, Qian Renxue has become a god.

This made him want to beat Jerry up.

Sigh! Qian Daoliu couldn't help but think, I've lived to such an old age, has it been easy for me?

But now that the world has advanced again, it's possible for my body to return to its youthful state.

Qian Daoliu glanced at Poseidon beside him and shook his head.

We were destined to meet but not to be together in this life.

In our angel family, this lineage has always been passed down through a single son.

If I successfully advance to the next world title this time, I will be able to return to my youthful body.

It's very difficult to have many children and grandchildren; the chances are slim. But I have to give it my all.

If all else fails, marry a talented Soul Master and nurture them with all your might; reaching God-level shouldn't be a problem.

If the world advances again, then breaking through to the god level should become much easier.

Then there is still hope for myself, and there is still hope for the angel family.

Qian Daoliu seemed to see a golden age, a golden age for the continent.

The entire continent will usher in a brand new future.

If Jerry were to cultivate a god-level powerhouse, that would be fine, but Qian Daoliu probably wouldn't be able to. He has too little faith power. He has already used up all the faith power he has accumulated over the years to become a god, and he simply doesn't have any left.

Moreover, he has rarely appeared in front of the world in recent years, and his faith has diminished even further.

So far, apart from becoming a god through faith and divine trials, Jerry has not discovered a third way to become a god.

But Jerry felt that there must be more than just these two ways to become a god; there were others that had just been discovered.

It's possible that the world's level is too low, the methods to become a god are limited, and the world can't accommodate so many gods.

If the world continues to advance, will it evolve into a middle-thousand world or a great-thousand world, where various cultivation methods flourish everywhere?

There are many ways to become a god: through reading, farming, writing, and so on.

One can attain enlightenment in a single day and instantly become a god.

(I originally wanted to write about someone attaining enlightenment and immediately ascending to heaven, but I can't now. The divine realm is now similar to the mainland; ascension is no longer possible.)

Jerry gets excited just thinking about it.

But now is not the time to think about these things; let's get through this world championship first.
