Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

This regulation not only completely blocked the path for non-human beings to ascend to the divine realm, but also abolished all of their divine positions. Furthermore, the non-human native gods that subsequently emerged were regarded as potential enemies by the divine realm, and the law enforcement gods under the Asura God were specifically responsible for assassinating these gods.

In the countless years that followed, all the other beings who ruled over the planes of the divine realm, no matter how powerful they became, were ultimately suppressed to below the divine level, and could only remain at the peak of the mortal realm until their death.

Those who die of old age are considered lucky. Some with even greater talent become gods, but if the divine realm discovers them, they are doomed. Others may survive if they carefully hide, but none of them dare to approach the divine realm to connect with the origin of the universe and obtain their rightful divine position.

Then there are planes like Douluo Continent, which are closely monitored by the God Realm. The beasts there are even worse off; they are like farmed leeks. It's not impossible for you to become a god, but you'll just have to wait for the Heavenly Tribulation and the Human Tribulation to strike at the same time and harvest you, the fat leek (that's what happened to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King).

Such a series of strict rules certainly stabilized the development of the divine realm, but being so harsh on the alien beings in the lower realm was definitely going too far. If the divine realm did not possess absolute military power, it would probably have caused the lower realm to rebel.

This suppression lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. The divine realm was comfortable, but the will of the universe was not. Because of the divine realm's actions, the universe had not made any progress for so many years.

This is because the will of the great universe lacks wisdom and does not have any truly strict heavenly rules; otherwise, the actions of the gods in assassinating the native gods of the lower realms would have long since provoked divine punishment from the 'Heavenly Dao'.

However, Yan also realized after becoming a god that although the God Realm had successfully suppressed and ruled many planes over the years, the hidden crisis had intensified, and the support of the Great Universe Will for him was a very obvious signal.

The higher-ups in the divine realm were not unaware of this. In the original story, the forces of good and evil arranged for Lieyan to succeed to the throne and gradually relaxed the restrictions in this regard. Furthermore, three of the five great leaders decisively abandoned their divine positions and fled, indicating that they all sensed the crisis.

As for the remaining Destruction and Life, Destruction stubbornly believed he could resolve the crisis in the God Realm, but in the end, he was tricked by Tang San and perished along with his wife for the God Realm, which can be described as quite tragic.

Yan wasn't particularly concerned about these matters, nor was he very interested in the crisis in the God Realm. However, the favor of the Great Universe's will might not be a good thing at this time. He was still developing, and if the God Realm considered him the source of the crisis, wouldn't he be doomed?

Yan was somewhat worried, but he quickly came up with a solution. The crisis in the God Realm had not yet erupted, but there were already some signs. According to some information fed back by the will of the universe, it was not accidental but inevitable that the God Realm would be taken away in the future.

The existence of the divine realm suppressed the development of the universe, so it was eventually swept away in the increasingly intense spacetime storms. Even the gods of the divine realm did not know the specifics of this matter, but Yan, with his foresight, understood it very well.

Could he perhaps manipulate this situation to cause the crisis in the divine realm to erupt prematurely? Wouldn't things be much calmer if the divine realm were no longer on his mind?

As Yan realized this, everything became clear. He slowly rose from his divine throne, and then a phantom appeared outside the divine kingdom. After the phantom solidified, a Yan, who, like the gods of the divine realm, had condensed his divine body with his divine soul as the core, appeared on the Douluo Continent.

His gaze shifted, and he waved to Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong in the distance. The three of them felt the surrounding scenery change instantly, and when they could see clearly again, they felt their feet were on solid ground. Yan's figure was under the angel statue, and they had returned to the Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue was not far from becoming a god, but she was still a little shocked when she thought of Yan's methods just now, so she subconsciously asked, "Little Yan, what kind of methods did you use?"

Yan casually explained, "I borrowed some authority from the ruler of the Douluo Continent plane. Although my divine kingdom and the divine position in the God Realm are similar, both being directly integrated into the concrete manifestation of the fundamental laws of the universe, I am, after all, a native god of the Douluo Continent, and part of the authority of my divine kingdom is also related to the Douluo Continent plane."

"Such power is truly amazing."

Bibi Dong looked at him with a surprised expression, her beautiful eyes sparkling, as if to say, "You brat, you're not telling the truth."

"The method of becoming a god through the divine kingdom does have certain advantages compared to the previous methods of self-becoming a god or inheriting a divine position. However, for you and Sister Xue'er, inheriting a divine position is the best path for you, allowing you to reach a level that many gods cannot achieve in the shortest amount of time..."

Yan first explained to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, and then solemnly said, "Sister Xue'er, teacher, what I am about to say is related to the God Realm. I hope you will become gods as soon as possible and enter the God Realm. There are some things that must be communicated with the God Realm."

Chapter 614 The Divine Realm Committee

Inside the Spirit Hall of the Douluo Continent, Yan solemnly recounted his current predicament to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. After listening to Yan's words, their expressions also became extremely grave.

It was thought that with Yan's ascension to godhood, the attention that the Asura God and some other gods had paid to him would decrease. However, he did not expect that he would come up with a brand new method of becoming a god, which seems to be the key to the early outbreak of the crisis in the God Realm. If this is not handled properly, it may cause big problems.

After thinking for a long time, Bibi Dong said in a deep voice, "We have remembered your words. We will complete the initial fusion of the divine positions as soon as possible, become gods at level 100, and then ascend to the God Realm."

Qian Renxue nodded seriously, "Xiao Yan, I will stand by your side too."

Qian Daoliu listened quietly from the side, and only spoke after the three of them had finished discussing some details: "Then, is there anything this old man can do?"

"Great Offering, these are some of my insights on becoming a god, and I hope they will be helpful to you."

Yan condensed the method for achieving godhood in the Divine Kingdom he had compiled into a divine pearl and handed it to Qian Daoliu. He then said meaningfully, "The God Realm exists in the Douluo Universe, which may suppress or even eliminate new paths, but it may not be the case in other places."

Qian Daoliu's eyes flickered, and he nodded solemnly, saying, "I understand. I will go into seclusion to comprehend the method of becoming a god. I will not return until everything is over."

"Teacher and Sister Xue'er, you should focus on completing your divine trials first. I'm going to Seagod Island to give Xiuxiu some instructions."

Yan gave Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue a few more instructions, then transformed into a beam of divine light and disappeared into the Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, mother and daughter, exchanged glances and then left the Papal Palace one after the other.

As Qian Renxue approached the angel statue in the Elder Hall, a strange golden light shone from her forehead, illuminating the angel statue's brow.

A golden vortex appeared between the angel statue's brows, and the entire statue seemed to tremble slightly. Qian Renxue rushed into it without hesitation, and in an instant, the entire Elder Hall was illuminated.

After an unknown amount of time, with a deafening roar, the entire angel statue shattered instantly, turning into countless golden specks of light that surged in the air. At the epicenter of the explosion, amidst a ball of golden light, Qian Renxue, in her six-winged angel form, exuded a sacred aura.

At the same time, within the hidden Rakshasa Temple, His Holiness the Pope had also completed the final step, transforming the God of Slaughter Domain into the Rakshasa Domain, fulfilling his long-held dream. Meanwhile, on Seagod Island, a tremendous change was also taking place.

At the same time, three extraordinary phenomena erupted in three places, as if gods were descending to earth. This naturally attracted the attention of many gods. It was at this moment that another Yan arrived at the Lake of Life.

……

"You arrived earlier than I expected."

The Silver Dragon King seemed to have anticipated this, having already transformed into the stunningly beautiful girl Na'er and was waiting for him. The silver-haired girl had her back to Yan, and even though she had become a god, Yan still wasn't very confident in facing the Silver Dragon King.

This being is, after all, the split half of the Dragon God, and naturally possesses the foundation to become a God-King. Although he was severely injured by the God Realm and has not yet fully recovered, he is still not someone that Yan, who has just become a god, can defeat.

Yan didn't exchange many pleasantries with the Silver Dragon King, but went straight to the point: "You should already have what I mentioned last time!"

"You've made up your mind."

The Silver Dragon King turned around, a complex emotion showing on his otherworldly face. "If you really do that, you'll make a huge enemy of the gods. They're not exactly magnanimous."

Yan said very calmly, "Although the God Realm has not yet reacted, I am not prepared to leave my fate to their decision. I must have a backup plan. If they choose to cooperate, that's fine. But if they really don't give me a way out, then I will have no choice but to strike first."

"How confident are you? The power of the divine realm is extremely strong. Those five guys could actually become god-kings. The reason why only the good and the evil became god-kings is simply due to a lack of resources. But if they are determined, the divine realm can have five god-kings."

The Silver Dragon King continued, his voice very gentle, "Even the Dragon God of the past eventually split apart under their combined attack. Your plan is too risky. If the problem of the God Realm is not resolved, then the entire Douluo Continent will face an attack from the God Realm."

Yan said very frankly, "To be honest, I'm not very confident either, but we have to have some countermeasures! If we really fail, we can just leave Douluo Continent. Just because the God Realm is dominant in this universe doesn't mean that it is in other universes."

"So you really have been out. Fine, no matter what, my soul beast lineage is their target, and our situation can't get any worse. I'll just go crazy with you this once."

The Silver Dragon King's eyes flickered. For some powerful figures at the pinnacle of the universe, the existence of other universes outside the Douluo Universe was not a secret.

Many deities, after reaching the end of their cultivation in the Douluo Universe, choose to relinquish their divine positions and leave the universe for a wider, unknown world. In the original work, the characters of Good, Evil, Asura, and the Sea God all abandoned their divine positions and left the Douluo Universe.

Several streaks of light flew out from the Silver Dragon King's hand. Yan caught them, nodded to the Silver Dragon King, and then turned and left the Forest of Life.

"I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong, but I hope you succeed!"

The Silver Dragon King stared in the direction Yan had left in silence for a long time, then sighed and returned to the Lake of Life to continue his seclusion.

Closed.

After her figure disappeared, two figures, one golden and one red, appeared. Both the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Qiu'er and the Fire Dragon King Jialin could feel the inexplicable sense of crisis. They made a decision in their hearts. Qiu'er's figure was covered by a golden light, and a beautiful figure gradually emerged from the golden light.

……

In the origin of the Douluo Universe, amidst endless temporal turbulence, a giant seven-colored sphere floats uncertainly in the storm.

Its interior is an energy body enveloped in clouds of dense divine power. It is a special space formed by the mental power of various planes. It also has a resounding name: the God Realm.

Deep within the realm of the gods, the dazzling lights and colors are unlike anything in the mortal world. The rising clouds and mist are ever-changing, sometimes like rolling waves, sometimes like a serene beauty. Each change is unpredictable, yet it brings even more beauty and awe.

A dense concentration of primordial energy lingered in the clouds and mist. If an ordinary human could come here, even just taking a breath could extend their lifespan by ten years.

Of course, ordinary people can't really come here. Given their physical condition, it wouldn't be good for them to absorb too much of the spiritual energy here, because it's all divine power.

The majestic palace shimmered with a faint golden light under the glow of the divine realm. This was the highest point in the entire divine realm, and the place that controlled the divine realm and even all planes of the universe.

The Divine Realm Council is an organization centered around the two supreme God-Kings and the three law enforcers of the divine realm. It has the responsibility of judging all gods and the task of governing the divine realm and maintaining its rules.

The main hall of the Divine Council's palace is octagonal, with no decorations on any of the surrounding walls, yet countless images flicker and change.

Each light screen represents a different dimension of the human world, such as a life-bearing planet, a world with a flat earth and a round sky, or some other worldview.

This is the core location of the Divine Realm Committee's monitoring of various planes of the universe. Five people are sitting around a round table in the center of the main hall.

These five individuals each possessed a distinct demeanor, yet each had their own unique characteristics: kindness and evil, life and destruction. Only the Asura God remained single, hence his rather indifferent expression.

Good and Evil, as god-kings, occupy slightly different positions, while Destruction and Evil beside Asura are a proper couple.

Destruction was shrouded in a large purple cloak, covering its head and obscuring its face. Only two red lights could be vaguely seen flickering within the cloak, and an endless, terrifying aura seemed to emanate from within it.

The woman beside him was the complete opposite. She wore a light green dress that exuded vitality, and her face always had a faint smile, tinged with a light golden hue. Her vibrant energy was truly unforgettable and made people feel exceptionally close to her.

"Shura, the kid you've been eyeing has become a god. Not just a simple self-made god, but he's also pioneered a completely new method of becoming a god. There was a new divine light gathering in the God Realm, but it was attracted and merged with his so-called divine kingdom. He has left the God Realm."

A deep voice came from within the purple cloak, and the pair of pulsating crimson lights looked at the Asura God, seemingly containing dissatisfaction.

The God of Asura's expression worsened. "Destruction, I don't need you to remind me. I was indeed careless. I thought I valued him highly, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated that kid."

His ability to become a god on his own was within my expectations. What I didn't expect was that he would actually create that so-called divine kingdom and attain enlightenment. At the time, I wanted to stop him, but I sensed the will of the universe and the heavenly way, so..."

The benevolent God-King, seated on the main throne, spoke up, "This matter is indeed a significant issue, but the new method of becoming a god does have its merits. We all know that the development of the divine realm has reached a bottleneck."

Although there are many divine positions in the divine realm, most have already reached their current limits. There are also some divine positions that haven't been promoted due to insufficient resources, but these have also essentially reached their limits. The succession of divine positions has become the norm for us to absorb new blood, which ironically hinders our development.

"It has not only hindered development."

The purple-robed God of Destruction coldly said, "The free succession of divine positions is not an easy matter. The succession of gods requires divine examination. Some people who were originally qualified have perished because they could not pass the divine inheritance."

If the divine realm had more divine positions, absorbing new blood through natural ascension would be much easier. We can continue to expand the divine realm, gradually opening it up using the accumulated divine power of the past years, naturally conforming to the will of the universe, so that the divine realm and the universe can achieve greater development.”

The Asura God frowned slightly and said, "Destruction and the creation of the God Realm are no small matter. They will cause turmoil in the entire God Realm and may even affect the changes in the entire universe that we monitor. The impact on the human world is immeasurable. This matter cannot be taken lightly."

Furthermore, we are discussing the new method of achieving godhood created by that kid in the lower realm, not the matter of establishing a divine realm. Compared to establishing a divine realm, I think the trouble that kid has caused will be much greater. If left unchecked, more gods will establish their divine kingdoms and refuse to ascend, and the divine realm will be unable to control the lower realm.”

As soon as he said these words, the other four people turned their gazes to him simultaneously, each with a different look and a different thought.

The Goddess of Life said softly, "Shura, aren't you exaggerating a bit? That person has always been quite respectful to our divine realm. Relying on the methods he devised, we have gained more spiritual power over the years."

“Life, you haven’t met that guy, so you don’t know his ambition. The first time I saw him, I could feel his disrespect for the divine realm. For a mortal to look at the divine realm with equal eyes, that in itself shows a lack of reverence.”

The Asura God shook his head and said in a deep voice, "But he is a smart man who understands the general trend, so he has always worked for my God Realm when he was in the lower realm. He has the ability and ambition to change the God Realm, but his ambition is probably even greater than we imagine."

The Goddess of Light and the Sea God both extended invitations to him, offering him the opportunity to become a chief god, but he politely declined. Even when I personally visited him, he still refused to inherit the divine position. He wasn't satisfied with even the position of king of the gods, which shows that he has greater ambitions.

At this moment, the Evil God King also spoke up, "His ambition may indeed be as Shura said, greater than we imagine. He has appeared in two planes, the Five Elements Continent and the Vast Continent. I suspect that he has even made contact with the outside world."

Chapter 615 The Council of Gods

"Asura, evil, whether that person came into contact with the outside world is not important. He gave all beings in the universe a new choice, although this choice is not a good thing for our divine realm."

The God of Destruction's tone turned somber, "But the key issue now is that he has never directly confronted the God Realm, nor has he violated any of the divine rules or taboos promulgated by the God Realm Committee. He is not an anomaly who became a god. What grounds do we have to deal with him?"

Do not forget that light, angels, darkness, demons, and sea gods have all had contact with him. Without a suitable reason, how can he convince the gods?

“I will speak to the sea god and the others; I suppose the other gods will also understand the bigger picture.”

The Asura God said coldly, "This matter concerns the future of the God Realm. We must make a decision. We cannot be bound by the divine rules, for we are the ones who set them."

In the Divine Council, each of us holds one vote. I request a vote, and I agree to impose sanctions on that person.

The Evil God King's eyes flickered, but he didn't respond. Instead, he looked at the Kind God King, who pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Shura, it's best not to rush this matter. That person has many connections with our divine realm, and they are not incapable of communication."

We could certainly have a proper talk with him first. After all, he is a very talented god, and if we could guide him onto the right path, it would be a good thing for our divine realm.”
