Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 195 Spatial Passage, The Final Year

At this moment, the gods in the divine realm, led by the God of Space, were utterly exhausted.

Although becoming a god means no longer being a mortal, it is necessary to construct a spatial passage large enough to accommodate a god-king level powerhouse descending to the mortal realm.

The divine power and resources they expended are not as easily repaired as the losses of ordinary mortal bodies.

Even the most powerful of the first-level gods, the God of Space, showed signs of weakness.

If it weren't for the fact that the gains and losses of Douluo Star were related to the stability of the God Realm, and the promises made by other God Kings, these gods would not have wasted their source power here.

"Sigh, I just hope everything goes smoothly, otherwise it'll be troublesome."

"Stop complaining. At least our current losses can be recovered through the treasures given by the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life."

"Yes, if Douluo Star cannot return to the jurisdiction of the God Realm, then there will be big trouble."

"Be careful what you say, the God of Asura is almost here," the God of Space said calmly.

These deities all had a good relationship with him; otherwise, they wouldn't have worked with him to maintain the stability of the spatial passage.

So he still warned the gods, regardless of whether the Asura God was at fault or whether the problem was caused by him.

However, he was, after all, a powerful god-king and the enforcer of the divine realm. How could he be discussed by these second-level and third-level gods?

Then, in the distance, several streaks of light, transformed from deities, streaked across the sky, emanating auras of varying strengths.

As these seven figures arrived before the spatial passage, the other deities hurriedly bowed to the leading god.

The God of Space calmly replied, "Greetings, God of Asura. Preparations for the spatial passage are complete."

Seeing the other party's attitude, Tang San smiled and said, "No need for such formalities. Thank you all for your help with this matter."

"It's just my duty. The spatial passage is now ready, but it will only last for three days in the God Realm at most."

"And no matter what happens in the mortal realm within a year, the Asura God must return to the divine realm."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't have time to return, since just crossing the space passage takes a certain amount of time."

"It will probably take two days to travel back and forth through the space passage."

"However, if we successfully recapture Douluo Star, that's a different story. We can return directly through the connection between the God Realm Central Hub and Douluo Star."

Tang San nodded, a hint of gloom settling over his face. Time was more pressing than he had imagined, but he didn't say anything more about it.

But at this moment, his gaze drifted to Ma Hongjun beside him. Ma Hongjun's expression was indifferent, making him stand out from everyone else around him.

"Dai Laoda, Xiao Ao, Fatty, Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, Rong Rong. This matter concerns the defense of Douluo Star's villages, so I won't say more. Let's all work together."

"No matter what we face, I believe that as long as we are together, we can overcome it!"

"Don't worry, Third Brother." "Yes, Third Brother."

Dai Mubai and the others quickly expressed their support, while Ma Hongjun simply lowered his eyes slightly and didn't say anything more.

"Alright, let's set off then. We'll discuss the specifics along the way."

Tang San nodded, not taking Ma Hongjun's attitude to heart.

Since ascending to the God Realm, Bai Chenxiang has been left on Douluo Star, and Ma Hongjun seems to have become a different person, no longer interacting with others.

However, the fact that the other party is still willing to help me this time shows that the friendship we once had still exists.

Since that's the case, there's no need to worry about it too much, Tang San thought to himself.

After entering the spatial passage and traversing the bizarre and wonderful space, Tang San continued, "However, the most important thing now is to replenish our divine power."

After all, Douluo Star had always been regarded as Tang San's private territory, and he had also eliminated some of the divine beliefs that originally belonged to Douluo Star.

Whether it's the sea god worshipped by most people and sea spirit beasts, or the holy land worshipped by evil spirit masters such as the Holy Spirit Cult.

In fact, he inherited the positions of the Sea God and the Asura God, so after leaving the God Realm and arriving at the plane to which Douluo Star belongs.

Apart from Tang San himself, the spiritual power that other gods could draw upon would be cut off.

However, the divine power consumed cannot be replenished, and gradually the foundation of one's divine position will be depleted.

However, even so, it won't last long, and it might even lead to the demotion or destruction of the divine position.

At this point, Tang San stopped hiding his true intentions. After all, stabilizing his position in the God Realm was more important than Douluo Star.

"On Douluo Star, I once discovered a relic left by the former God of Love."

"The god of love perished in the war between the gods and the dragon god, but although he was broken, his faith still remains."

"There is still a lot of her divine power left in that ruin, but it has always been difficult to refine, and among us, only Rongrong is the most suitable."

"So I had taken Rongrong to the Qiankun Wenqing Valley before, but progress was slow because my divine sense was in the lower realm."

"But this time we are descending to the mortal realm in our physical form rather than our divine consciousness, so the difficulty of refining its mental power should be greatly reduced."

This was actually a lie by Tang San, because as a God-King level powerhouse, he actually had a way to strip away all the divine power within it.

However, this would only be a one-off deal. It would be better to slowly gather faith in the god of love by relying on the divine power that exists within, and perhaps even create a first-level deity for his use.

After all, the God of Love still has many believers on the Sun and Moon Continent. Although due to the fall of the god and the shattering of the divine position, these beliefs have nowhere to be stored and can only be accumulated as spiritual power.

However, quantitative change can lead to qualitative change. Perhaps one day, the Valley of Love and Destiny will be able to nurture a god of love. But for now, in order to solve the immediate problem, we can only kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

The others were overjoyed upon hearing Tang San's arrangement.

After all, if the divine power within them is exhausted, what will be lost is their foundation as gods.

But since Tang San has already made arrangements for this, then that's naturally the best outcome.

However, upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun's expression darkened, as if he had thought of something.

Because he didn't know that Tang San was able to lead them all over the Douluo Continent to find the inheritances of other gods.

Was Tang San already aware of this so-called relic of the God of Love at that time?

As for the legacy of the God of Love, is it even possible that it will have any effect on his beloved Bai Chenxiang, even if it's only slightly possible?

However, the hardships and estrangement of these past years have changed the relationship between Ma Hongjun and Tang San, making it no longer what it used to be.

This hidden rift among them is constantly brewing within this possibility.

However, regardless of the circumstances, it was accompanied by the deployment of several deities led by Tang San.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena on Douluo Star are now facing their most critical moment.

Douluo Star, the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Have you recovered?" Huo Yuhao asked, looking at the enormous silver dragon in the center of the Lake of Life.

At this moment, the Silver Dragon King spread his wings, and a magnificent silver light was mixed with a stream of seven-colored light.

Mixed with its powerful force, it spread throughout all areas of the Star Dou Great Forest, blessing the soul beasts living there.

"Not bad, I have now fully recovered my God-King status." Gu Yuena smiled slightly as she transformed back into human form.

With the ascension of Douluo Star, she used her authority as the ruler of the Douluo Star plane to merge all the remaining demiplanes into Douluo Star.

Furthermore, they took this opportunity to absorb the energy that Douluo Star could not refine for the time being, in order to replenish their own foundation.

Gu Yuena, who was already a God-King level powerhouse, also regained power equivalent to that of a God-King level powerhouse through this opportunity.

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "But the dragon clan magic sword in your hand is probably not qualified as a weapon to deal with the God King of the God Realm next."

"I no longer need the Dragon Pillar. My plane has completely merged with the power of the rules of the former Dragon Tomb and Abyss planes."

"It's just a decoration if it stays there. You might as well take it back; it would increase our chances of winning."

Gu Yuena nodded: "Okay."

Huo Yuhao continued, "Besides that, there's one more thing, which I'd like to say is for insurance purposes."

Huo Yuhao stretched out his right hand, and a black crystal core slowly took shape in his hand.

And what it exudes is, well, it doesn't exude any aura at all.

Even with Gu Yuena's limited understanding, she couldn't discern what power was being nurtured within the black crystal core.

"What is this?" Although it looked ordinary and unremarkable, Gu Yuena knew that Huo Yuhao would never do anything meaningless.

Huo Yuhao sighed slightly: "If possible, I wouldn't really want to use it."

"I want you to store this item in the core of the Douluo Star plane. After it spreads, it will lock all the power of the rules, reducing other external forces to nothing."

Gu Yuena was slightly taken aback, then realized what Huo Yuhao meant by the external force.

That is all the power except for the power of the plane's origin, the power of blood and qi, and the power of spirit.

Or the divine power, divine position, and divine skills of other deities will be completely suppressed by the power of the rules.

The power of the plane rules of Douluo Star has been completely mastered by her and Huo Yuhao, so outsiders cannot mobilize the power of Douluo Star itself.

However, this will inevitably limit the development potential of Douluo Star and its star system.

"Are you sure this thing can really be useful to the divine realm?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Whether it will be useful to the God Realm is another matter, but if they descend to Douluo Star..."

"Then they will naturally have to bear the suppression of the rules of this plane of Douluo Star, and I am certain that they will not be able to violate these rules that apply to everyone."

"But this kind of modification is practically semi-permanent, and it would be quite troublesome for me to remove it later."

"So unless absolutely necessary, I still won't use it."

Gu Yuena accepted the black crystal and then said, "Leave it to me. How's the research progress of your Douluo Council?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao shook his head: "It's not satisfactory. The research on the level 12 soul tool has still hit a bottleneck and requires enough time for further analysis."

"This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Even with the support of quasi-god level and divine skill experts, we can only achieve the current level."

Gu Yuena was somewhat disappointed at this moment, after all, according to the Douluo Council...

The research prospects of level 12 soul tools are enough to give them the capital to rival the God Realm.

But now we can only rely on their power. Let's just hope that the God Realm won't go all out.

"However, even so, the initial research on level 12 soul tools is almost complete."

Huo Yuhao looked up at the sky and saw that the sun's rays did not seem as dazzling as before.

Now, more than 50% of the power originating from the sun has been utilized by the Douluo Council.

A portion of the energy on both the far and near sides of the sun has been intercepted and converted by the soul-guided barrier set up by the quasi-god level powerhouse.

It has only just begun to be stored, and we are still a long way from developing entirely new energy material structures based on solar energy.

"However, I extracted some of this energy and purified it into pure energy."

"Whether it's for those quasi-god level or god level powerhouses, or even for you, it can be used to restore yourself."

"Although it's not enough to propel a god-level expert to a higher level, it's still better than directly absorbing the spiritual energy of Douluo Star."

Gu Yuena couldn't help but sigh, "Human creativity is truly extraordinary, considering how few years have passed."

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "It wasn't just humans; soul beasts were involved too. Especially the Evil Emperor and his clansmen."

"These soul-guided beasts, who excel in mental attributes, are particularly talented in researching soul-guided devices."

Gu Yuena sighed softly: "But this is only a minority after all. Humanity has a huge population, and most of them are intelligent."

"And this level of intelligence is only a small fraction among soul beasts."

Huo Yuhao skipped over the topic: "Now that you've returned to your God-King cultivation level, what's the situation with the demiplanes connected to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Gu Yuena smiled, appearing remarkably carefree compared to the constant worry that had been etched between her brows.

"Yes, preparations are almost complete. Next, I will relocate all the soul beasts from Douluo Star to this location."

"To establish a kingdom entirely belonging to soul beasts, and then the contract between the Douluo Council and the soul beasts will be completed in the Star Dou Great Forest, which is located between the demi-plane and the main plane."

"Yes, that's a good thing. After all, soul beasts have a much greater energy requirement than humans, so compared to a planetary plane in a physical star system..."

"A demiplane composed of pure energy, possessing even more energy, would be more suitable for their development."

While Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena were still discussing, they both felt a subtle palpitation in their hearts.

"A spatial passage has been opened in the Douluo Star System."

The two of them were now at a much higher level than before. Huo Yuhao said calmly, "It seems the God Realm has made its move."

"However, there is still a time difference between the God Realm and Douluo Star. Even if they have a spatial passage, it will still take some time for them to cross over and descend."

"If they want to come, then let them come!"
