From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 556: Getting stuck in the Heavenly Tribulation bug in front of the Gods!

"The Heavenly Dao rules of the God Realm are still based on the old Dragon God Domain. As a native Heaven and Earth Soul Beast of the Douluo Realm, the Ice and Snow Spirit was both made and destroyed by the heaven and earth. The Douluo Realm protected her, but the Heavenly Tribulation Laws of the God Realm did not."

Gu Yuena's tone was somewhat somber, as if she sensed that the Soul Beast Realm was about to lose another great general.

During the Dragon God Era, the entire Dragon God Realm was in a state of outward expansion, which would assimilate many species that did not belong to the Soul Beast system. At this time, the rules of heaven and earth would intervene and gradually assimilate those extraordinary species that were not Soul Beasts into Soul Beasts. When they were not completely assimilated, that is, in the state of half Soul Beasts, the rules of heaven and earth would have corresponding protective rules.

That was a "newbie protection period" granted by the Dragon God, the supreme ruler of the Dragon Clan, to other extraordinary species, so that they wouldn't be tortured to death by the Soul Beast's training system before they were fully assimilated, which would be detrimental to the expansion and development of the Soul Beast race.

This is why there are so many insect-type soul beasts in the Douluo Continent, along with ordinary insects. The ancestors of those insect-type soul beasts were extraordinary species from other worlds, who were then conquered by the Dragon God and assimilated into soul beasts.

Logically speaking, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler should have been completely assimilated after living in the Douluo Realm for so long. However, due to the shattering of the Dragon God Domain in the great war, the Douluo Realm, as one of the core god domains, became an independent small plane. The assimilation strength of the world rules for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler was greatly weakened. This is why the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler are still in a half-soul beast state and have a "newbie protection period," thus both of them have survived the 700,000-year tribulation.

However, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's million-year tribulation will prevent it from using its newbie protection period, and there are also differences between buffs.

Generally speaking, the phrase "a soul beast becomes a god after a million years" specifically refers to the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan.

The term "Dragon King" here does not specifically refer to elemental Dragon Kings at the God-King level. It can refer to Black Dragon Kings like Di Tian, ​​or Wise Dragon Kings who appear foolish but are actually wise. This means that once you reach the million-year level, you will possess the potential to become a Dragon King.

This level is equivalent to a first-level god in the current divine order. As long as one possesses the corresponding authority, one is qualified to be promoted to god-king.

Therefore, by deducing from this system, we can see how excessive the Douluo Realm is as a small plane.

In traditional minor planes, it's already remarkable to have even one god-level being. However, the Douluo Realm, a minor plane, not only has multiple uncrowned divine beasts, but it can also nurture beings like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, and the Evil-Eyed Tyrant Ruler, representing top-tier second-level gods, third-level gods, and top-tier divine officials. This demonstrates the profound foundation of the Douluo Realm, which was once one of the core plane fragments of the Dragon God's Domain.

Therefore, in order to suppress it, the Douluo Realm is the smallest plane closest to the God Realm. It can even be said that the sky of the Douluo Realm is the God Realm.

These uncrowned divine beasts in the Douluo Continent will automatically become gods once they break free from the suppression of the God Realm. Their accumulated power will eventually be unleashed, allowing them to ascend to the heavens in one step. For example, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King directly proved to be a first-level god, making it very difficult for the God Realm to continue suppressing him.

The fact that the Silver Dragon King was able to hide in the Douluo Realm to recuperate is also somewhat of a case of keeping things under wraps; at least, the God Realm has not yet found the plane where the Silver Dragon King is hiding.

After all, who could have imagined that the seemingly foolish but actually wise Silver Dragon King would hide right at the doorstep of the God Realm?

"Sigh, let's go back. We need to select new soul beasts to guard the Lake of Life. The Emperor of Ice and Snow has fallen." Gu Yuena shook her head slightly, then turned and returned to the alternate dimension. Di Tian, ​​who was standing to the side, took a deep look at the northern sky, a heavy look flashing in his eyes. He sighed slightly, then also turned and returned to the alternate dimension inside the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

A month later, with a loud boom, the far north was once again filled with a dense aura of heavenly tribulation!

"What? Someone in the far north is undergoing a 700,000-year tribulation again? Could it be that the Ice and Snow Emperor has lived a second life?" In the Silver Dragon King's alternate dimension, Gu Yuena used her Elemental Dragon Eyes to see through space with a look of surprise and uncertainty, and looked at the northern sky.

"Eighty-six. It's a pity, he still perished. Even if he could be reborn a second time, he still couldn't escape the fate of falling."

A deep sigh echoed within the Silver Dragon King's alternate dimension.

Another month later, with a loud boom, the far north was once again filled with a dense aura of heavenly tribulation!

"Huh??? The third life??? How is that possible?!" Inside the Silver Dragon King's alternate dimension, Gu Yuena's brows furrowed in shock!

How could the Ice and Snow Spirit still be able to switch between life and death repeatedly?

Normally, a single heavenly tribulation determines life or death. How come there are people who repeatedly undergo heavenly tribulations?!

Another faction shares the same sentiments as Gu Yuena.

In the God Realm, at the silent council of gods, hundreds of deities looked at the dense, rolling black lightning in the far north of the Douluo Realm with varying expressions, and for a moment they were at a loss for words.

"Aren't they cheating?" Poseidon, the god of the sea, looked down at the world beneath his feet. Due to the central hub of the divine realm, the black cloud formed by the heavenly lightning of destruction was right beneath their feet. They witnessed the entire process of Chen Hong exploiting the heavenly tribulation bug from almost the perspective of the heavenly lightning itself.

"But they relied on their own strength to overcome the tribulation, without using any external force," the God of Crafts said, offering a fair assessment.

The Asura God King watched everything silently, without saying a word.

In this situation, he couldn't say anything, because Chen Hong relied on his own abilities to withstand the heavenly tribulation, without taking any shortcuts. The only thing that could be considered a shortcut was that Chen Hong was able to interrupt the heavenly tribulation.

However, the tribulation that Chen Hong interrupted was one that Chen Hong himself had summoned in advance. Theoretically, the Snow Empress had not yet undergone her tribulation. Therefore, Chen Hong was able to interrupt it.

So in essence, Xue Di did not undergo tribulation. The tribulations they are experiencing now are all drawn down by Chen Hong through the highest-level purple-gold lightning patterns on his body. Chen Hong is like a lightning rod. As long as he stands next to the tribulation-bearing soul beast, the tribulation will only strike Chen Hong and not the soul beast.

As for why Chen Hong was able to interrupt the Heavenly Tribulation, it's because Chen Hong's strength and realm had surpassed the standards of the Heavenly Tribulation; if the tribulation continued to strike, it would violate the rules of judgment.

The Heavenly Dao rules of the divine realm are procedural consciousness. The Great Dao is ruthless; it has no emotional changes and only acts according to the rules.

So Chen Hong demonstrated to the divine realm what it meant to exploit a bug in the world's rules.

"Hey, the ultimate cataclysmic destruction we set up back then has actually been managed by that kid Chen Hong who managed to extract a trace of the power of creation. This is going to put me in a difficult position."

The God of Destruction sneered. He hadn't expected that Chen Hong would manage to find a way to survive in such a harsh environment.
