From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 684 The battle between the celestial markings and the rules of the world!

"Indeed, if I fail or encounter misfortune, the energy here is enough for the Demon Emperor to grow stronger in a short time." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was silent for a moment, but in the end he did not deny anything, but generously admitted his initial thoughts.

Before meeting Chen Hong, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King realized that he had been targeted by the sea god Poseidon and had a premonition that he might face a great calamity. Therefore, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had already prepared a way out for the Demon Emperor and Lan Fuzi.

With the help of the secret energy here, and the deep-sea demon whale's talent for energy conversion, the Demon Emperor can grow to a level sufficient to protect himself in a short enough time.

"That's right, it's only natural to leave people a few options," Chen Hong smiled slightly. "But now you've chosen a completely new path; it's all or nothing."

"Someone like you is willing to risk everything to take this path. The risks I'm talking about are nothing but needless worry," the Deep Sea Demon Whale King replied silently.

Chen Hong clearly had many other options, but this intelligent man ultimately chose this path. This either shows that Chen Hong loves gambling, or that Chen Hong has an absolute certainty of winning.

At least Chen Hong loves to gamble. Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King doesn't know much about Chen Hong, he knows that a person who can prove himself as a God of Wisdom would never gamble everything on a vague possibility!

Therefore, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's act of sharing his secrets with Chen Hong was not gambling, but rather a form of equity investment.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King doesn't even need to worry about failing, because if he were to worry about failure, the one who should be most worried is not the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but the initiator of this plan, Chen Hong himself.

Chen Hong is the one who has paid the most on the path to becoming a God-King. If Chen Hong isn't worried, then what does the Deep Sea Demon Whale King need to worry about? It's nothing but needless anxiety and worrying for nothing.

"It doesn't matter." Chen Hong's lips curled slightly, then he glanced at the energy density in the abyss below and said, "It will take about a month to stabilize the energy pressure here, which will also allow you to stabilize at the million-year level." Like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Chen Hong had also broken through to the million-year soul beast level. The influence of the Heaven and Earth Embryo Pattern on him was very weak, and the number of years he could shield was even shorter than that of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's aura concealment time was very short, it was still at least three to five years, while Chen Hong could only conceal his aura for less than a year!

This doesn't mean that Chen Hong's adaptability to the patterns of heaven and earth is weaker than that of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but rather that Chen Hong's own 'information data' is far too vast!

The working principle of the Heavenly Embryo Mark is not to directly ask the Heavenly Rules for 'give me face and I'll check later,' but rather to use certain mysterious means to place an 'information lock' on the soul beast's own data. The premise for the Heavenly Rules to sentence a million-year-old soul beast to death is that the Heavenly Rules can perceive the data of a million-year-old soul beast.

The Heaven and Earth Embryo Pattern uses a very ingenious method to allow the rules of heaven and earth to detect the aura of a million-year-old soul beast. However, it takes a certain amount of time to analyze it in order to determine whether this million-year-old soul beast is truly a million-year-old soul beast!

In Chen Hong's words, the group of research experts in the Soul Pattern Civilization who discovered the Heaven and Earth Embryo Pattern clearly showed that they had no temper with other people's program consciousness and were willing to spend time quietly playing a puzzle game with the Heaven and Earth Embryo Pattern.

In modern terms, the celestial inscriptions bestowed upon the world a unit of pi for the world's mainframe to calculate. Once the calculation reached its limit, the program was complete, triggering a celestial tribulation and initiating a tribulation-crossing ritual. Why not an infinitely repeating arithmetic operation? Because the world's mainframe possesses an error-correction program, capable of rectifying infinitely repeated calculations. From the moment you input the program, the world's mainframe already knows the result from cause and effect; it's just that the process of arriving at the result is extremely lengthy.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was able to remain hidden for another hundred years after breaking through a million years because its own data volume was not large. The world's rules might need to circle a hundred times before discovering and contacting the answers it needed. However, someone like Chen Hong, with the Ice and Fire Dragon King Soul Pearl within him, the laws of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, the laws of a born God King, and the aura of a million-year-old soul beast, might have the world's rules discover some of Chen Hong's partial answers after only a few circles, thus directly and unilaterally declaring the judgment.

Therefore, after Chen Hong breaks through to the million-year realm, he cannot stay in the Douluo Realm for too long, as a simple million-year tribulation cannot kill him. However, he may find himself staring at the God Kings of the God Realm, which could create an awkward atmosphere.

Furthermore, given the situation in the divine realm, they will most likely intervene to stop him. This would alert the Silver Dragon King, scaring him away. Originally, it would already take time to finally kill the Silver Dragon King offline via the internet; this exposure would likely make it even longer.

"A million-year-old divine beast is indeed comparable to a first-level god, but ours are all fake divine beasts. On one hand, the Douluo Realm has not given us the power of the laws for 'deification,' and on the other hand, the realm of our million-year-old divine beasts has not yet been recognized by the outside world. Or rather, it is being adapted to."

Chen Hong sensed his and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's current power and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "I forcibly raised my divine power to the level of a first-level god before, so I can estimate that my current realm is that of a first-level god. However, since we haven't achieved godhood, we're essentially using a wooden bucket the size of a first-level god and filling it with a belly full of light water."

"The difference in mass between a normal first-level god and a metal bucket filled with mercury is because our bodies have not undergone deification. The difference in mass between liquids is because the energy within our bodies has not undergone deification."

"However, I'm a little better off than you. My soul has been deified, and my body is an innate divine body. What I lack now is only the deification of energy." Chen Hong told the Deep Sea Demon Whale King about his situation and added, "Your body is actually not bad either. A demonic body is also a kind of law-based transformation, like going from a weak barrel to a strong one. But these aren't problems. You should have sensed it too—to achieve deification..."

"Ultimately, one must allow one's own laws to interact with the power of heaven and earth, thereby formally seizing control of the world from it."

"The path of soul beasts is destined to be different from that of the gods. Soul beasts absorb authority rather than condense divine positions. Therefore, this world will not allow us to become gods."

"So prepare yourself, for one month from now, we will descend upon the Abyss Sea."
