Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

Qian Renxue sat down beside him: "Then the first batch of people going to the God Realm should be in the next few days."

The first group of people who attempted to travel to the realm of gods to undergo tribulation set off on the morning of three days later.

They did not travel together or make any unified arrangements; they simply set off from their respective locations and began climbing along the already confirmed path.

Chapter 339 The Central Hub of the Divine Realm

Du Qingshan was the first to cross that threshold.

He stood in an open space outside the town, looking up at the sky, where the crack was slowly unfolding.

He felt the power within him establishing a connection with the rift, like a rope that had been stretched taut for a long time finally finding its connection point.

He closed his eyes and felt himself being embraced by the rift, as if passing through a crack that was opening.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a gray and white space.

The second group to cross the threshold was a teacher surnamed Chen from Thunder Academy, who gave up trying to get into the class of '89 seven years ago.

That autumn, he felt the bottleneck within his body loosening. Without hesitation, after confirming that the rift had stabilized, he set off for the realm of gods the next morning.

As he passed through the crevice, he could feel the ground beneath his feet trembling slightly, as if something deep underground was rearranging itself.

When he stood still in that gray space, he looked down at his hands and felt the flowing power slowly searching for a new path.

The third group of people who crossed the threshold arrived one after another over the next two weeks.

Feng Wanli was one of them. He didn't wait for anyone or make any special preparations. On an ordinary morning, he felt the soul power in his body flowing slowly. The threshold was so close that he didn't need to deliberately touch it.

As he climbed up the crevice, he could feel the wind changing direction.

Dai Mubai stood in the Shrek Academy's training ground for a long time, feeling the soul power flowing within his body slowly reaching a new position.

He lowered his fist and walked north along the official road.

He didn't say goodbye to anyone. He just glanced at the courtyard where he had spent many years as he walked out of the academy gate, and then continued walking forward.

When he arrived at the small town on the border of the Star Luo Empire, he slowed down at a fork in the road, as if to confirm that the road was still in the same place, before continuing forward.

The first attempt with the soul beasts began on the twelfth day.

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest, a giant wolf with a pure white coat emerged from the dense forest and stood on the north bank of the Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena stood in the middle of the lake without turning around, but her voice traveled across the lake and reached the giant wolf's ears: "Have you thought it through?"

The giant wolf lowered its head slightly: "I've thought about it for a long time."

"Now that the door is open, it would be a waste of time if we didn't go in and take a look."

Gu Yuena did not speak again.

The giant wolf turned and walked towards the direction of the rift it sensed.

On the third day, it reached the entrance to the rift and passed through it.

As it stood in that gray-white space, it felt the power within its body establishing a connection with the rules of the divine realm.

Ning Rongrong discovered one morning that her Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda was undergoing subtle changes.

The change was subtle, like a slow-moving undercurrent beneath the surface of water, but one could sense the power seeping into the divine realm resonating with her.

She stood in the side courtyard of the offering hall and tried it out, and found that the range of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda's assistance was farther than before, as if it was readjusting its boundaries.

Qian Renxue walked to her side, glanced at her, and said, "Your martial spirit is changing too."

Ning Rongrong put away the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda: "I felt that power."

It looks like it's seeping down from above.

Tang San re-sharpened the blade of the short sword in the small courtyard in the east of the city, then sheathed it.

Ah Yin stood under the eaves watching him without saying a word, as if confirming his decision in her own way.

Tang San hung his short sword at his waist, turned around and looked in the direction of the courtyard gate: "I'm going out for a bit."

Ah Yin didn't ask where they were going: "Bring a warm coat, it's getting windy outside."

Tang San nodded, pushed open the door, and walked out of the courtyard.

When Ling Feng received the complete records of the first batch of tribulations in the central hub of the God Realm, he was standing in front of that wide window.

Those records list the name of each person who successfully transcended the tribulation, their original sect or power, the time taken to transcend the tribulation, and the stability of their realm after the breakthrough.

When Jin Chen walked in, he wasn't carrying the Trident of Poseidon; he was just wearing a dark robe. He paused by the door frame and said, "People over in the sea have also started trying it."

The direction they came from was towards Sea Breeze City.

Ling Feng put down the record: "A lot?"

Jin Chen thought for a moment: "The first batch wasn't too many, but it was more stable than expected."

When they underwent their tribulation, the energy in the sea did not fluctuate significantly.

Ling Feng nodded.

Di Tian stood at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time, watching the figures slowly passing through the rift in the distance.

He sensed that the auras of the soul beasts undergoing tribulation were gradually stabilizing.

He turned around and walked back the way he came towards the Lake of Life.

When he reached the lakeside, Gu Yuena was standing on the shore: "The first batch of soul beasts has already crossed."

Di Tian stopped beside her: "It went more smoothly than expected."

Gu Yuena did not respond.

She simply stood there, her gaze fixed on the crack in the distance that was slowly closing and then slowly opening again, as if confirming in her own way that the door had indeed opened to the appropriate width.

The spirits of martial arts were all present this winter, and the sky above the city walls was brighter than in previous years.

Ning Rongrong stood on the steps of the offering hall, watching the slowly flowing light. That light was not sunlight, but light from a more distant place, light seeping down from the direction of the rift in the divine realm, slowly changing the sky above the city.

Qian Renxue stood behind her, following her gaze to the sky: "There will be more people going."

Ning Rongrong said, "I know."

The threshold has been lowered, so there's no need to take a detour anymore.

They will walk the rest of the way on their own.

Qian Renxue did not answer, but she stood there for a while, as if she was confirming the weight of her words in her own way.

Ling Feng stood by the window of the central hub of the divine realm for a long time. He saw the slowly moving points of light in the distance lighting up one by one, as if they were being lit up in sequence.

He put down the scroll of records he had finished reading and felt the power within his body flowing at its own rhythm.

He turned away from the window and walked down the gray passageways toward the underworld.

When he returned to Wuhun Capital, Qian Renxue was sitting under the eaves, holding a cup of steaming tea.

Ling Feng sat down beside her.

The night breeze blew in from outside the courtyard, passing through the branches of the old locust tree, like a folded letter ready to be sent to a more distant place.

Winter in the realm of gods is longer than in the mortal realm.

After finishing his business in the central hub of the God Realm, Ling Feng walked back along the gray passage. The rock walls on both sides were covered with a thin layer of white frost, as if they were being slowly enveloped by time.

When he returned to Wuhun City through the rift, it was already dark. The sky above the city wall was slowly transitioning from gray-blue to deep blue, like a painting being filled in.

Chapter 340 Spatial Rift

Qian Renxue waited for him under the eaves, holding a cup of tea that had already been refilled three times.

She didn't ask him about the situation in the divine realm; she simply placed the cup on the edge of the stone table and let him pick it up himself.

Ling Feng sat down, picked up the still-warm tea, took a sip, and felt the tea's warmth slowly reaching the areas in his body where the tea had settled.

Qian Renxue said, "Tang San set off this morning."

Ling Feng put down his teacup: "Which direction are you going?"

Qian Renxue said, "Go north."

He didn't take much with him when he left, only that short sword.

Ling Feng thought for a moment: "He won't go too far."

He just needed to confirm a few things.

Tang San traveled north along the official road for five days.

He didn't walk too fast; his pace was even, like someone who no longer needed to chase anything.

He passed through fields, villages, and towns, and saw that the changing atmosphere was gradually stabilizing.

On the sixth day, he arrived at a small town and rested at a small shop at the town's entrance.

He ordered a bowl of noodles, sat by the window, and watched the sky slowly brighten outside.

He finished his noodles, paid, pushed open the door, and continued walking north along the dirt road outside the town.

He was going to see the rift, not to undergo tribulation, but simply to see what the door looked like.

He reached the location below the crevice on the afternoon of the seventh day.

The rift hangs high above, its edges shimmering with a faint silvery-white light, breathing slowly, as if confirming its existence in its own way.

He stood there, not in a hurry to move, but simply stood in that open space, letting the aura of the rift naturally fall around him.

He felt the power within him slowly adjusting its direction, as if it were searching for a new balance.

He stood there for about fifteen minutes, then turned around and walked back the way he came.

He walked slowly and steadily, as if he had already accomplished what he was supposed to do on this trip.

The rift still hung high above, its silvery-white light swaying gently in the wind, as if confirming in its own way that the door had indeed stabilized.

Dai Mubai stood at the tribulation site near Shrek Academy for a long time, feeling his soul power establishing a connection with the rift.

He climbed up the path, and as he passed through the crevice, he could feel a force of acceptance, like a door being pushed open.

When he stood on that gray-white ground at the edge of the divine realm, the air felt unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
