Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Another approach is to unify all space within the universe, as we are doing now, making the universe unique.

The uniqueness of the universe implies two things: one is power—absolute dominion over all categories of deities within the universe; the other is exclusivity—within the same divine realm, there will never be an existence more powerful, or even equally powerful.

The Douluo Universe was originally called the Divine Dragon Realm, where the Dragon God was the absolute ruler. No god could compete with him for control of the Divine Dragon Realm, not even the five great gods of the God Realm. They were only able to succeed because the Dragon God himself had problems.

After the Dragon God era, it would be almost impossible to achieve this. The Douluo God Realm has five God King level beings. Even if the only Dragon God in the universe were to be reborn, he might not be able to suppress the five giants of the God Realm in Yan's era.

Fortunately, Yan did something in the past: he tricked the entire God Realm and sent away all five great powers without leaving a single one alive. This means that there is no other God King in the entire universe who can compete with him now.

It was by sheer coincidence that Yan is now the only God-King in the universe, and there is no one stronger than him in the entire Douluo Universe. Moreover, the Douluo Continent is showing signs of ascending to the God Realm, making it possible for the second condition to be met.

Under these circumstances, Yan Shen clearly comprehended many things, including how to advance to the only possible level in the universe. Observing the evolution of the Douluo Continent plane also touched his heart, thus triggering this earth-shattering phenomenon.

In the void, a colorful halo appeared silently. The halo resembled a cloud, but it was the kind that connected heaven and earth. The dazzling colorful light filled the vision of the four goddesses, creating a feeling that they could only look up at.

Just when they thought Yan would continue to grow stronger, the ball of light suddenly contracted and condensed, transforming once again into the illusory figure of a ten-thousand-meter-tall elemental giant. As the light gradually dissipated, Yan's figure reappeared.

"It failed?"

Silver Dragon King Na'er appeared beside Yan and quietly inquired about what had just happened. Among everyone present, she was closest to that realm and was also the most concerned about the aftermath of this matter.

"Now is not the time."

Yan shook his head, his gaze turning once more to the evolving Douluo Ancient Star. "To become unique, one must have a divine star. Only by transforming Douluo Ancient Star into the only divine star in the entire universe can one truly secure the position of the only God King of the universe."

Without this prerequisite, even a forced breakthrough will have hidden dangers; the Dragon God failed precisely because of this. He attempted to forcibly evolve a divine star, but ultimately destroyed everything in the Dragon God Realm.

After listening to Yan's words, Silver Dragon King Na'er fell silent. She didn't really know the reason why the Dragon God and the Dragon Clan had perished. When she and the Golden Dragon King were born, the lineage of divine beasts had been almost completely wiped out by the gods of the divine realm.

She and the Golden Dragon King waged a great war against the gods of the divine realm at birth. Later, they escaped the divine realm and fell into a deep sleep. Although they later took in the remnants of the dragon race, such as Di Tian, ​​she still has no idea what happened back then.

She didn't quite understand why the Dragon God had gone mad, or what the cause of that cosmic civil war was. Although the Dragon God left them with a legacy, the part about that final battle was vague and unclear, as if it had been deliberately erased.

Following Yan's gaze, Silver Dragon King Na'er looked at the evolving Douluo Ancient Star. After pondering for a moment, she softly asked, "So your next plan is to make Douluo Star advance faster?"

Na'er also had her own little schemes. After all, she was the ruler of the Soul Beast Clan, and she naturally cared about her people. Naturally, she hoped to get more information from Yan to manipulate things.

Of course, all these actions were within Yan's permission. After all, even true gods were mostly promoted from ordinary beings, with their own emotions, desires, and thoughts. Yan himself was also a person with constant selfish desires, so he naturally wouldn't mind some trivial matters.

Yan nodded. "Yes, I have that idea. But it's not easy to find another unlucky one like the Abyss. However, I remember that the Abyss was not a plane that developed naturally, but rather it was split off from another plane that was as large as the God Realm."

A look of realization dawned on Silver Dragon King Na'er's eyes. "So you didn't take action yourself before, and you even had us secretly leave a trace of abyssal energy to drift around. You wanted to use the Abyssal Saint King to find that plane."

Yan nodded calmly and said, "The key to this matter is the Abyss Saint King. He has already obtained all the energy of the Abyss, so sparing his life is just a small matter. Moreover, keeping him alive can help us find clues about the Crimson Plane, so it's a way of making use of him!"

Na'er then asked, "So what's our plan next? Are we to find that plane and lure it in again, or are we going to launch a direct attack on it?"

"There's no rush for this."

Yan shook his head and turned his gaze back to Douluo Ancient Star. "Haste makes waste, and you can't get fat in one bite. Forcibly digesting the Abyss Plane is already a huge challenge for the Douluo Continent."

Trying to devour another, even larger plane in the short term would be a waste of energy without proper utilization. To truly wage war against the Crimson Plane, we must first fully assimilate the Abyss Plane and complete our own advancement.

However, we can also do something during this time. After the God Realm disappears, the order of the entire universe will naturally be disrupted. As the future new God Star, Douluo Star must establish a completely new order and help to sort out the fundamental laws of the universe.

The Silver Dragon King tentatively asked, "You mean, a war of faith?"

Yan's lips curled into a slight smile. "It doesn't necessarily have to be faith, but my Douluo Continent will definitely become the new center of this universe, and all of this will begin with the other planets in this star field!"

"I understand."

The Silver Dragon King nodded, and the other goddesses, who had gathered at some unknown time, joined the discussion. The gods united, striving for the greatness of Douluo God Star.

……

The universe was vast and desolate, and the endless void was deathly silent, with not even a glimmer of light visible. However, within a certain cold and barren star field, a blood-red light appeared and disappeared.

This crimson light is a manifestation of a certain world plane. This special world is filled with an aura of coldness, loneliness, and greed, and a huge dark red temple stands at the core of this plane.

This temple was incredibly magnificent, stretching as far as the eye could see. At its innermost part, atop a towering throne, dense energy fluctuations swept across the surrounding area. A faint, dark red aura silently descended, and the atmosphere within the entire temple seemed to become oppressive.

The dark red patch in the air began to silently condense, without the slightest fluctuation of energy, yet it naturally began to gather and take shape. Finally, it transformed into a figure, proudly suspended in mid-air.

This was a woman, a woman who looked completely human. She appeared to be about 1.8 meters tall, with long, dark red hair cascading down her back, and fair skin with an extremely lustrous sheen. Her entire body exuded a wondrous aura.

Her body shimmered with light, and the wondrous light of laws seemed to gather the very essence of the world, as if she were the embodiment of the laws of the world.

The woman, dressed in a dark red dress, had an exquisite face. On each side of her cheek was a deep red magic mark, a very strange magic mark composed of curves and sharp triangles. It seemed not just to be a mark, but a living being, radiating a soft halo.

Her eyes were a deep red, the color of rubies, yet within those ruby-like eyes, one could almost see the cosmos and the boundless expanse.

Her hands had very long, slender fingers, with white, onion-like tips and long, thin nails, each over a foot long, dark red, and radiating a faint, iridescent sheen.

A dark red dress accentuated her fair skin, and a deep red crown carved from gemstones adorned her head. On each side of her body, six dark red rays of light emanated, each shaped like a different object.

These are twelve incredibly powerful divine artifacts, the culmination of countless years of accumulation by this beautiful woman, and the true foundation for her future as a god-king.

The twelve powerful artifacts each have their own unique uses and can be combined to form two super artifacts. Even for a god-king level expert, it is extremely difficult to forge a super artifact, let alone possess two.

The stunningly beautiful woman's face was full of sorrow, as if she was still worried about something. Her gaze was fixed in a certain direction, as if she were seeing some scenes across time and space.

"It turned out to be..."

Suddenly, a hint of surprise appeared on her face, and with a wave of her hand, a faint, deep blue light descended into the temple.

Divine light gathered in the palm of the beautiful woman's hand, and the blurry, deep blue light rapidly grew stronger. Suddenly, a purple light flickered faintly in the center of the deep red temple.

With a wave of her right hand, the stunningly beautiful woman drew a deep red scepter from her right side. At the top of the scepter was a red gem, within which a faint halo of light swirled.

The crimson scepter pointed at the purple light, and instantly, a faint red halo emanated from its surface, enveloping the flickering purple light in the distance. The purple light then stabilized and finally transformed into a human form.

Chapter 735 The Crimson Mother

Inside the crimson temple, as the illusory figure gradually solidified, the woman on the throne slowly rose from her seat, her eyes instantly turning cold and sharp.

"You're still alive..."

Her voice was filled with complex emotions—anger, relief, and shock—and her eyes showed very obvious changes in expression.

As the illusory figure gradually solidified, it finally revealed itself to be the appearance of the Abyss Saint King. He respectfully bowed slowly to the woman before him and said very weakly, "Mother."

“Mother? You still remember that I am your mother. I placed such high hopes on you that you took more than forty percent of the power of the Crimson Realm to seek the final opportunity.”

The woman in the Crimson Temple became agitated. "Look what you've done! We, who are known for devouring, have been devoured by other planes, and we're still a weak one."

What exactly is going on with this interdimensional war? Could it be that the God-King of the Divine Realm intervened? And what is your current situation? In my perception, you should have vanished long ago.

The Abyss Saint King remained silent for a long time, a pale blue light gradually emanating from his body, and his figure showed signs of disintegration.

The woman inside the crimson temple tensed up immediately, her cold voice tinged with urgency, "Where is this remnant of your soul? Is it possible for it to revive?"

The voice of the Abyss Saint King rang out again, “Mother, I am still in that universe and cannot be revived for the time being. It was only because I sensed your location that I was able to barely transmit my divine sense under special conditions.”

Mother, let me give you a detailed account of this war. Things are not as you imagine. I was not ambushed by the gods of that cosmic realm, but I was indeed ambushed by them.

I acted rashly without properly investigating the situation, and was ambushed. However, I have now ascertained their true strength. Please give me another chance; this time, we will surely create a divine realm.

The Crimson Mother gave him a cold look and said indifferently, "Tell me the details of the matter, and this will be your chance to redeem yourself. Even without your help, I was able to create the divine realm."

"This is."

After hesitating for a moment, the Abyss Saint King chose to compromise. Although he was the nominal eldest son of the Crimson Mother, the actual relationship between them was just so-so.

He was able to become the Lord of the Abyss because the Crimson Mother gave him the opportunity in order to find someone to scout the way.

He has clearly squandered this opportunity, not only losing his own life but also the entire Abyss, which undoubtedly ruined the plans of the Crimson Plane and the Abyss.

Although he has narrowly escaped death, he is still in the Douluo Universe and will need to find an opportunity to leave undetected. If he wants to make a comeback in the future, he will need the support of the Crimson Plane.

The voice of the Abyss Saint King echoed once more within the Crimson Temple. He honestly recounted everything. From the initial invasion of the Douluo Continent plane by the Abyss, the repeated defeats in the all-out war of the Abyss Tides, the counterattacks and retribution of the Douluo powerhouses, to his eventual attempt to initiate the plane overlap only to be ambushed, he recounted every detail.

"You mean, that plane has four gods with divine positions, and four level-100 true gods? Such a powerful plane is actually a lower realm, not a god realm or a demigod realm?"

The Crimson Mother has traversed countless universes and planes. The energy and worlds devoured by the Crimson Plane under her rule are far greater than those of the Abyss, so she is naturally very knowledgeable.

She had a good understanding of all kinds of lower realms and the divine realm. According to her silly son, the power of the realm that devoured the abyss was even stronger than that of the weak divine realm, which was quite unusual.

“Mother, I also found out some information during my time in that universe. Some time ago, a powerful spacetime turbulence swept across multiple universes, and many god realms were swept away and disappeared. The god realm in that universe was one of them.”

The Abyss Saint King spoke again: "According to those gods who plotted against me, they had originally ascended to the God Realm, but due to the spatial-temporal turbulence that caused the God Realm to split, they had to return to their original world. That's why there are so many powerful beings in that plane."

The four deities who ambushed me possessed considerable divine power and extremely powerful divine positions, likely at least at the level of chief gods. I think this is the source of their confidence in daring to devour my abyss plane.

Just as we aspire to ascend to the realm of gods, those who originally had the potential to become chief gods or even god-kings likely also harbor their own ambitions.

The Crimson Mother understood the Abyss Saint's implication, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You mean, they also want to establish a divine realm."

“That’s right, Mother, this is also our chance. The world’s ascension is not an easy thing. If they want to accomplish this, they will definitely lose a lot of divine power.”

The Abyss Saint King's voice became excited, "If we can seize the opportunity, we might be able to use their own methods against them, and take advantage of their excessive losses to completely devour that world, merge the Crimson and the Abyss, and directly ascend to the God Realm."

The Crimson Mother's gaze changed slightly. The Abyss Saint's words had undoubtedly moved her. Over the years, the Crimson Plane she controlled had actually reached the level of ascending to the God Realm, but she had never dared to act rashly.

Worlds like the Abyss and the Crimson Dimension, which constantly devour and wage interdimensional wars, are called the Dark Dimension of the Universe. It doesn't sound like a good thing. If they were truly the opposite of the strongest god realm in the universe, it would be a good thing, but that's not the case.

These dark planes of the universe are more like parasites and pigs; they can bully ordinary planes, but when they encounter the divine realm, they get bullied. Some divine realms like to harbor enemies to enhance their own power, using the invasion of these planes to launch faith wars and spread faith in some ordinary planes.

Some gods went even further, resorting to ruthless exploitation, launching massive attacks on planes like theirs and utterly annihilating and devouring them.

These planes that haven't yet been promoted are still, after all, the mortal realm. The God Realm's tyrannical treatment of them naturally made the Crimson Mother, who knew the situation, uneasy. So for many years, she has been leading the Crimson Plane to travel between the corners of various universes.

Many years passed in this way. The Crimson Dimension accumulated enough energy to advance to the next level. However, fearing being targeted by the God Realm, the Crimson Mother ultimately chose to split the Dimension, and the Abyss was born.

In other words, the birth of the Abyss was an experiment by the Crimson Plane, testing what troubles they, as semi-energy planes that rely on devouring to evolve and resemble the God Realm, would encounter in the process of ascending to the God Realm.

After the Abyss Plane split off, it continued to develop along the path of the Crimson Plane. After so many years, it has reached the point of advancement. The Crimson Mother has been paying close attention to the Abyss Plane during this time.

But just recently, she sensed the turbulent loss of the Abyss Plane's essence, which later led to the complete collapse of the entire plane. Upon sensing this, the Crimson Mother was deeply disturbed.

She split the abyss to explore a path, but it was destroyed before she even figured it out. The loss was immense for her, and she couldn't possibly accept it.

How confident are you?

Inside the Crimson Temple, the Crimson Mother remained silent for a long time before speaking again. The Abyss Lord's proposal had tempted her, but she was, after all, a cautious goddess, and wouldn't make a decision lightly.

"Mother, I am 70% sure."

The Abyss Saint King originally wanted to say that he had full confidence, but when he met the Crimson Mother's slightly disbelieving gaze, he finally calmed down and gave a rough number.

In fact, according to his own thinking, as long as he can recover his strength and infiltrate the Douluo Continent again, it will not be difficult for him to turn the tables.

While the Abyss Plane and the Douluo Continent Plane are combined, the Douluo Continent Plane is the primary one, but the Abyss Plane is larger in scale and will inevitably have some influence on the Douluo Continent Plane.

His previous failure was due to insufficient intelligence and rash action, which led to him falling into a trap, being surrounded and killed. This was a great disgrace, but it also showed that the gods were not very strong at this stage, which was truly the best opportunity.

If he doesn't seize the time to retaliate, once those gods have fully comprehended the laws of divine positions and reached the upper limit of their respective divine positions, there will be at least four first-level main gods, and then they will be someone he can't afford to provoke.
