Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 222 Next Steps, Hidden Dangers

It was so dramatic that it made Ye Yinzhu's death seem utterly pointless.

However, this also signifies that everything has come to a close for the continent of Ryuzinus and the world to which it belongs.

Under Huo Yuhao's influence, Ye Yinzhu's connection with the Qin Emperor's divine realm was severed when the Eye of Truth was fully activated.

Subsequently, Ye Yinzhu was directly disintegrated by the Eye of Truth, making it impossible to perceive or predict.

Even Ye Yinzhu died without knowing Huo Yuhao's existence, which was precisely the reason for his failure.

Even for Huo Yuhao now, defeating Ye Yinzhu, the so-called God King, is a sure thing.

However, he did not slack off in the slightest, but instead adopted the safest approach. Otherwise, even if Huo Yuhao did not intervene, he would have been fine.

The Douluo Council's group of super-god-level powerhouses alone could solve the problem, after all, Gu Yuena, who possesses the power of creation, is no ordinary weakling.

Even without the help of the gods, it wouldn't be difficult to take down Ye Yinzhu, one of the weaker god-kings.

Seeing the figure emerge from the spatial passage opened by Ye Yinzhu, the Douluo Council experts, led by Gu Yuena, were not particularly surprised.

Because they had already learned of Huo Yuhao's success through the AI ​​Nan Ke, even if Huo Yuhao hadn't succeeded.

They couldn't just rashly chase after Ye Yinzhu directly to the Qin Emperor's Divine Realm, which was the opponent's absolute home ground.

Instead, the plan is to first completely annex the Ryuzinus continent, which has already been conquered, and then gradually weaken it by slowly and deliberately undermining it.

However, with Huo Yuhao secretly intervening and the two sides working together, there is naturally no need to continue scheming.

"I have only temporarily seized ownership of the Qin Emperor's Divine Realm; refining it later will be quite troublesome."

Huo Yuhao spoke slowly, but a divine core appeared in his hand, and this divine core contained the essence of all the power of a god-king.

Its original owner, needless to say, was Ye Yinzhu, who had just been completely destroyed into nothingness by the Eye of Truth's full power.

The group of super-god level powerhouses present looked at the divine core in Huo Yuhao's hand with a burning desire in their eyes.

Such a divine core is equivalent to the legacy of a god-king level powerhouse, not to mention the Qin Emperor God Realm behind it, which has now lost its master.

The combination of these two factors is extremely attractive even to these god-level powerhouses.

After all, even if it's just used as firewood to propel itself along its original path, it's still a great thing.

"There are no other threats in this world." Huo Yuhao said slowly, "The God Realm system cannot be preserved. I will send this Qin Emperor's nerve to the Dragon Qi Nus Continent."

"To transform it into nourishment for this plane, this planet, and even its star system, to nurture more living beings and powerful beings, and to open up new possibilities."

"This matter is thankless and requires someone to personally oversee it, so as a reward, this divine core will also be given to him."

"Then came everything about the Dragonianus Continent, and how the Douluo Council fleet divided the areas it explored in this universe."

"Everyone, please share your thoughts." Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over everyone present.

For Huo Yuhao, who possesses the Eye of Truth, he can advance his understanding of the power of laws and higher-level powers without relying on external forces.

It could even be said that no matter how powerful the members of the Douluo Council were, all their insights and understanding of power were essentially broadening Huo Yuhao's horizons.

That is why Huo Yuhao has never participated in these so-called resource allocations, but those present do not.

Although the Douluo Council is indeed a unified entity, it was a group forcibly brought together by Huo Yuhao's powerful strength.

Even later, when they seemed closely connected due to various exchanges and distributions of benefits, everyone still had their own ulterior motives.

For example, Du Bu Si is definitely more inclined to favor the Body Sect and the people it has cultivated over the years, as are others such as Gu Yue Na.

The path pursued by the Douluo Council is the understanding and utilization of power.

Rather than severing all ties and merging with the universe, one could even say that desire is the primary driving force of power.

After all, if one has no desires or wants, then why pursue greater power?

However, as Huo Yuhao said before, although controlling this god-king level divine core can grant a large amount of power in a short period of time.

However, this is tantamount to prematurely leaving the grand feast of exploring other universes.

While it doesn't mean they've completely given up on exploring and acquiring resources from other universes, given their status as super-god-level powerhouses present.

All it takes is making some exchange of benefits; even if one doesn't personally get involved immediately, there will still be other advantages to share.

However, without much hesitation, Poison Undying stepped forward: "It seems that everyone is not very interested, then I will take the initiative."

That makes sense, since Poison Undying was among the first to become a god-level powerhouse, and therefore required a greater amount of resources.

However, in the final analysis, the path of cultivation is based on the fundamental energy of mental power.

Unlike Gu Yuena, who needed to use various different laws to comprehend and perfect her creative power.

Poison cannot kill; simply increasing the quality of one's own mental power is enough to make one stronger. Sufficient mental power can amplify the poison's mental power.

However, as long as the poison of mental power can erode the enemy's divine body, divine power, and divine soul.

Then the poison of mental power will spontaneously evolve into various different properties during the erosion process, thus enriching the understanding of being immune to poison.

This allows him to gain insights into various laws, which in turn enriches his absorption and refinement of the poison of mental power.

The divine core left behind by a god-king level powerhouse would undoubtedly be a treasure that would be of great help to him, and the Qin Emperor God Realm itself would also be a considerable benefit.

Although throwing it into the continent of Ryuzinus would be a thankless task, just like what the God of Destruction had done before.

However, Poison Undying is not bound by the constraints of a divine position; at most, it only takes some time and effort, and one can use this process to enrich one's own foundation.

Overall, it wasn't too bad, and with other powerful figures developed by the Body Sect, he would definitely benefit a lot from it in the future expansion of the universe.

After Du Bu Si spoke up, no one else dared to compete.

After all, compared to the benefits that Poison Undying can gain, the benefits they can get from the Qin Emperor's Divine Realm are somewhat negligible.

As for the subsequent division of exploration directions in the universe where Ryuzaki Nuss resides, that's rather complicated.

However, with the experience of pioneering the Douluo Universe, although the interests involved were complex, a result that satisfied everyone was quickly reached.

After the most important matter of expanding the Qin Emperor Universe was discussed and concluded, Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.

Then, with a flash of light, the group of powerful figures who had been stationed in the universe outside the Dragonianus Continent appeared here.

It was Huo Yuhao. He directly used the Eye of Truth to decompose them and transfer them over. Most of these powerful individuals were not members of the Douluo Council.

Ji Dong, Lie Yan, Zhou Weiqing, Rong Nianbing, and some other powerful individuals at the god level or above that they had discovered during the previous exploration of the Douluo Universe star system.

The reason they were brought to this Qin Emperor Universe was not primarily to assist the Douluo Council's main army in combat, but rather because the Douluo Council had mobilized its entire force this time.

If we leave them in the Douluo Universe, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause? It's better to bring them all out.

In this entirely new universe, even the tricks they wanted to pull off would be incredibly difficult, and that would only be a secondary objective.

Seeing that these powerful individuals, though subservient to the Douluo Council, harbored many hidden agendas, Huo Yuhao decided not to waste time arguing with them.

"This place is a completely new universe, an unexplored blue ocean even for our Douluo Council."

"The Douluo Universe itself is the foundation of my Douluo Council, and I will never allow anyone who might harbor disloyal intentions to remain within it."

"Whether you want to stay in the Douluo Council or not, whether you truly approve of the Douluo Council or not."

"From today onwards, you shall remain in this universe, as long as you do not interfere with the Douluo Council or become its enemies."

"Whether you want to stay or leave, it's up to you. This isn't a discussion, it's a notification."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's unequivocal words, some of them might find it hard to accept, such as Zhou Weiqing.

Although he had already experienced the separation of birth, aging, sickness and death when he left the world of the Heavenly Pearl, his lover's hair had turned white.

But ultimately, his bloodline and his people still remain in his dimension, which is naturally difficult to sever.

Some people didn't care at all, such as Rong Nianbing, whose teacher and wife were already god-level powerhouses, and this time they also went on the expedition with the Douluo Council's main force.

It's nothing more than that after leaving the Douluo Council, they will find a suitable planet to settle down and live out their remaining years.

However, since Huo Yuhao has already said so much, there is naturally no room for reversal.

Of those who left and those who stayed, only one or two out of ten were ultimately willing to continue serving the Douluo Council in its efforts to expand this universe.

Huo Yuhao was not surprised by this, nor was he disappointed. He simply nodded and then said...

"Those who wish to stay can prove their value to the Douluo Council by making sufficient contributions."

"Then returning to the Douluo Universe, going to other universes, or even advancing to a higher level will not be a problem."

Seeing this, Poison Immortal stepped forward and said, "As for the management of these people, leave it to me. We will definitely lack manpower when expanding this universe."

Huo Yuhao secretly sent a key to Du Busi through the AI ​​Nan Ke.

This key was a tool he left behind when he disassembled these non-Douluo Council direct descendants and then reassembled them.

The psychic poison that can kill even the most poisonous creatures, if built using these keys as a model, would be enough to instantly kill those affected by Huo Yuhao's methods.

Consider it a form of insurance. After doing all this, Huo Yuhao opened the portal back to the Douluo Universe.

"This portal will remain here for a hundred years. Anyone who needs the laws and resources of this universe can take them within this hundred years."

"The previously designated exploration and development of this universe will be carried out through other means, without the need for a god-level powerhouse to remain."

Upon hearing this, everyone present dispersed, as a hundred years was hardly a long time for a super-god-level powerhouse.

After everyone had left, Di Ruier remained alone, a hint of worry flashing in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, are you alright?" Di Ruier could sense that Huo Yuhao's condition seemed to be becoming increasingly 'ethereal'.

Even though she was Huo Yuhao's soul partner, it seemed difficult for her to sense Huo Yuhao's 'existence' unless she tried her best to perceive it.

He didn't know why, perhaps it was because the gap in strength between Huo Yuhao and them was simply too great.

Although the Douluo Council has categorized the powerhouses above the god level, the highest level they are classified as is the super god level.

The "Transcendent God" level encompasses the stronger beings among the first-level deities, as well as god-king level beings and supreme god-king level beings like the Dragon God.

But are there no other levels above this? The Douluo Council has not made a detailed division on this matter.

After all, there's no need to define a path that no one has walked before, but Di Ruier vaguely sensed that Huo Yuhao was different.

Perhaps he truly reached that level earlier than everyone else, which is why he seems so indifferent to all of this.

It's even possible that the so-called exploration of other universes might not have any special effect on Huo Yuhao.

More importantly, it's because the Douluo Council is different from Huo Yuhao. Without external help and resources, it's difficult for others to keep up with his pace.

Because of Di Ruier's existence, and because of his experiences over the years, Huo Yuhao did not want to cut off everyone directly.

Otherwise, just like those gods who ascended to the divine realm in the past, Huo Yuhao might have a way to leave this world.

Even if it's not the realm of gods, one can still travel to a higher level of world to develop.

Sensing Di Ruier's worry, Huo Yuhao simply smiled and shook his head, then stroked Di Ruier's long, smooth, golden hair.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. The development of the first universe is going smoothly, so we'll have to accelerate the development of the subsequent universes."

"Using the Douluo Universe as the center and other universes as nodes, we will unite to build a cosmic network."

Huo Yuhao sighed slightly, but did not deny Di Ruier's idea.

Because of their soul contract, his and Di Rui'er's thoughts were perfectly aligned.

Just as Di Ruier thought, the Douluo Council's growth is now struggling to keep up with his pace.

But that's precisely why he's using this method to elevate the power and status of the Douluo Council members; he has no intention of abandoning them.
