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

Chapter 278 Follow-up Work: Observer's Speculation and Evidence

After advancing to the World Championships, Jerry felt that there were many areas where he needed to improve.

This is what makes Jerry happy. Everyone says that cultivation is endless, but he had never felt that there was anything left to improve before. Now that the world has advanced, he has a clear goal and direction.

The path of cultivation became smooth again, and Jerry felt motivated and hopeful to move forward once more.

The changes that followed this advancement have provided further evidence for Jerry's speculation.

He began to believe even more strongly that there was a much larger world outside of Douluo Continent.

Douluo Continent is not the main world; it may be a secondary or tertiary world below the main world.

I can't be sure right now unless I leave this world.

Furthermore, another event confirms this conjecture: in order to elevate themselves, gods in the divine realm pass on their divine positions to others.

What happens after it's passed down?

Do they have a way to leave this world?

If one cannot leave this world or improve, then what is the point of having a divine position?

After all, gods have long lifespans and don't need to pass on their divine positions.

Therefore, the gods in the divine realm definitely know how to leave this world.

This reminded Jerry of when he was collecting meteorites in the asteroid belt, one of his clones suddenly bumped into a transparent object. This object was invisible but tangible, like a barrier.

Who would set up a barrier inside an asteroid belt?

He hadn't paid much attention to it before because he was in a hurry to collect the meteorite, but now he was starting to wonder what this transparent object was.

Jerry decided to investigate the mysterious transparent object. He went to the asteroid belt and began a thorough search.

After some effort, he finally located the transparent object.

Go back to the previous position, touch the transparent barrier with your hand, and then touch down along the barrier.

Finally, Jerry returned to where he started.

This is a spherical barrier, and the entire Douluo Galaxy is enveloped by this spherical barrier.

Think back to the little world you created before, doesn't it feel very similar, almost exactly the same?

If what Jerry thinks is true, then this meteorite belt is the boundary of the Douluo Galaxy.

After the world level was advanced, his spatial attribute rules became 80%.

I tried it, but even with 80% of the spatial rules, I couldn't break the barrier at all.

When we tried using force, the barrier remained completely unmoved.

Jerry became even more curious. He focused his mind and approached the transparent object, trying to break the mysterious barrier.

As he approached, the transparent object began to emit increasingly intense energy fluctuations, causing him to feel a powerful pressure.

How did the people from the divine realm leave?

Only teleportation arrays are left.

That's right, it's definitely a teleportation array.

Moreover, it's an intergalactic teleportation array.

When I first created my little world, I left an exit, but the world's consciousness said there was no need to set up an exit, firstly to prevent others from entering, and secondly to prevent the people inside from coming out.

Preventing outsiders from breaking in is understandable, but why prevent those inside from coming out? This world's consciousness has explained this before.

The rules of the small world are based on the pioneers.

For example, in the small world that Jerry created, the god inside comprehended 100% of the rules, and at that point, he could ascend to the Douluo Continent.

However, once you arrive, the rules you have 100% mastered will be synchronized with the main world.

After synchronization, it's only 80% left, because Jerry only grasped 80% of this rule.

Even a 100% understanding of the small world only means understanding 80% of the rules that Jerry has mastered.

If it's the three rules of wood attribute, time, and space, and Jerry has grasped 100% of them, then his ascension to the main world won't reduce his level.

This only refers to the gods of the small world. If someone hasn't reached the level of a god and accidentally comes to the main world, they will face many problems.

The concentration of soul power in the world is different, the level of activity of soul power is different, the gravity of the two worlds is different, and many other factors are different.

This person who stumbled in by chance will be completely unsuited to this environment and will find it difficult to survive.

This is actually the simplest form of world rejection. The world instinctively rejects creatures from outside the world, and in severe cases, the world will unleash divine punishment.

Because Jerry's little world is based on the Douluo Continent, although it won't necessarily bring down divine punishment, other aspects will make the people in the little world feel uncomfortable.

Previously, the soul beasts that Jerry brought out from the small world all had to survive for a period of time within the barrier that Jerry set up.

Jerry slowly adjusted the various attributes within the barrier until it was identical to those in the main world. Only after the soul beasts inside adapted did he release them.

Within the barrier set up by Jerry, the adaptation period is still quite long. Without Jerry's barrier, creatures that stumbled upon this world and lived directly in the main world would eventually fall ill and die due to their inability to adapt to the drastically changed environment.

This kind of illness caused by maladaptation to the environment cannot be cured by medicine.

It seems that the situation in Douluo Continent is very similar to the situation in Jerry's creation of the small world.

There's no exit either, so where exactly is the teleportation array?

Moreover, when it comes to ascension, I've only heard of ascending to the realm of gods, never of ascending out of this world.

It seems that even if the gods of the divine realm don't come looking for me, I'll have to ask them.

When Jerry returned to the interior of Douluo Planet, three months had already passed. Unbeknownst to him, Jerry had spent three months in the universe; time truly flies.

While in space, one cannot perceive the changes in the world. Only after returning to the interior of Douluo Planet do one realize that three months have passed.

When Jerry returned, he discovered that the world had changed again. The gravity of the world had changed, and it was now about 1.3 times stronger than before.

In three months, gravity increased by 0.3 times, averaging 0.1 times per month. Why does the world consciousness want to increase gravity?

Jerry called out to the world's consciousness several times, but received no response.

Jerry felt that the world had completed its upgrade, but the world's will had not contacted him, and he could not find the world's consciousness.

It wasn't until the fourth month that the world consciousness made contact with Jerry.

The world consciousness only temporarily regained its senses, and after explaining things to Jerry, it will continue to retreat.

Gravity will increase by 0.1 times each month until the world is fully upgraded.

The world is not yet truly complete in its evolution.

After this world upgrade, the gravity within it will also change, needing to reach one hundred times its previous level for the world to be considered a complete and successful upgrade.

However, if gravity were increased a hundredfold all at once, no living thing in the world could withstand it.

There's no way to solve this; we can only take it slowly. Moreover, the World Consciousness claims that it's modeling its method for cultivating soul beasts after Jerry's previous method.

Only in this way can the creatures in the world be gently and unconsciously subjected to a hundred times the force of gravity.

The current growth of 0.1 is just the beginning; the pace may accelerate in the future.

The world's consciousness only awakens when gravity is altered; at other times, it remains unconscious until the world's advancement is complete.

When the world consciousness was explaining to Jerry, the world's gravity became 1.4 times stronger, and then the world consciousness could no longer be contacted.

It disappeared after the adjustment was completed. Although I knew that the world consciousness had fallen into a state of hunger and unconsciousness, the disappearance was too sudden.

It seems we can only wait patiently. However, Jerry isn't worried about the people from Wuhun City, as they frequently visit the gravity field.

1.4 times the gravity is no problem for them at all.

What they fear most are the elderly and children of Wuhun City, as well as the people of the two great empires.

Many elderly people have long since stopped practicing cultivation. Now they travel around, enjoying the beautiful scenery of various parts of the mainland and the local delicacies.

These elderly people had long since retired or stopped doing farm work. They probably would have enjoyed their retirement on their own little plot of land. But now that the world has advanced, their health has improved a lot, and they are now more like middle-aged people.

Now that I'm feeling better, and with peace on the mainland, the delicious food and beautiful scenery have spread to even the small villages. So what are we waiting for? We set off immediately.

Before, I could only envy them because of my health. Now that I'm healthy, it's like giving them a second chance at life. So what are we waiting for? Let's go! Otherwise, when we grow old again, all we'll have left is regret.

As for young children, they are still growing and their resistance and adaptability are insufficient.

Changes in the environment can easily make these children sick.

Therefore, Jerry felt that the 0.1x increase in gravity each month had a significant impact on them.

Before we could fully adapt, the world's gravity increased again.

It seems we'll need the Spirit Hall's help again.

When the world advanced, it consumed one-third of its resources. The remaining resources are needed to help the people survive for another year so that the food can ripen again and their hearts can be at ease.

Therefore, food and other supplies are currently in very short supply.

It would take a year for ordinary people to grow food, and the quantity would be limited and insufficient to meet the needs of the entire continent.

It seems we still have to rely on Jerry.

Previously, the fairy clan was assigned to cultivate herbs, but now it seems the work needs to be reassigned.

The fairy race can grow crops quickly and efficiently, and if they're lucky, some of the plants among these crops can even evolve.

Jerry went straight to the courtyard of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The yard is very clean; it seems Big White did a great job cleaning it.

Big White wasn't there at the time; he probably went off to play somewhere.

Jerry arrived at the herb field, where the Fairy Queen had left a clone. Since the time acceleration was activated, the little fairies' lifespans were limited, so she dared not let them come again.

The fairy race is thriving and its numbers are increasing. Because fairies have their own aura, they are loved by all kinds of spirit beasts in the forest.

As a result, the fairy race developed rapidly.

There was plenty of land, and a thousand fairies were assigned to plant food crops.

Growing food doesn't require them to become soul beasts, which is too easy for the fairy race.
