Riding the Dragon into the God Realm
After Su Cheng left, Qian Renxue glanced at Bibi Dong, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to leave directly. She didn't know what to say to her.
Even though they experienced a genuine emotional connection during a life-or-death situation, which brought some warmth to their relationship, the icy bond between them couldn't be easily broken down due to a certain scumbag and decades of coldness in their past relationship.
Moreover, thanks to Su Cheng's adjustment of the energy within her body, Qian Renxue now felt that her control over the Blazing Sun Power had reached a new level.
In the past, although she had comprehended the Blazing Sun True Meaning and was able to briefly unleash a power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, the Sun Star was an existence that mortals could not easily touch.
That terrifying fireball, which has illuminated all the heavens and myriad realms for millennia, contains such astonishing energy and will that it is so powerful that even the faintest consciousness cannot arise.
Qian Renxue dared not delve too deeply into this level of power, and could only cautiously explore it briefly on ordinary days.
In the year or so since she left Spirit City in reality, she has traveled across the continent, the Far North, and the sea, seeing many sights, but she has not improved much until today.
Suddenly, Qian Renxue seemed to notice something, and her gaze focused on the beautiful woman with silver hair and purple eyes.
She frowned and scolded, "What are you doing!"
The others turned to look when they heard the sound, and saw a huge silver dragon phantom appear behind Su Yue.
Unlike ordinary Martial Soul, this silver dragon is so lifelike that it is almost alive, far surpassing even Zhu Zhuqing's Hell White Tiger.
At this moment, that unique and powerful Martial Soul was transforming into Sisi of silver mist, gradually merging into Su Yue's body.
As the Silver Dragon King Martial Soul gradually dissipated and faded, fine scales began to appear and spread across Su Yue's exposed body surface, revealing her delicate eyes, slender neck, and fair arms...
During this process, her aura began to rise rapidly. From the initial God-level, she quickly approached the peak of the Third-Level God, and then went a step further, stepping onto the threshold of the Second-Level God...
Faced with Qian Renxue's questioning, Su Yue remained silent, focusing entirely on absorbing the immense power accumulated by the Silver Dragon King's body over the past hundreds of thousands of years.
Her Silver Dragon King Martial Soul is unique; it is not merely a manifestation of bloodline, but a true incarnation of Soul Beast.
The reason why Su Yue's cultivation had to start from scratch after transforming into human form was mainly because her power was sealed in her Martial Soul.
Even now, only one-tenth or one-twelfth of it has been consumed.
Today, she will absorb all the remaining energy and use it to ascend to the heavens in one step.
However, the others all had excellent eyesight, and even though Su Yue remained silent, they all saw through her plan.
Qian Renxue turned and appeared in front of her in an instant. With a wave of her hand, a blazing white domain of light enveloped the surrounding area, attempting to interrupt her actions. At the same time, she rebuked her in a deep voice, "Are you crazy? You're just wasting your potential! Have you forgotten what Su Cheng just said?!"
Faced with the domineering Blazing Sun Power, Su Yue felt an increased pressure, and even with her physique, which was much stronger than that of Soul Beast, she felt waves of burning pain.
She merely frowned, struggling against the suppression of the domain, showing no intention of stopping, with dazzling silver light flowing across her body.
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth inwardly upon seeing this.
Whether Su Yue strong or weak has nothing to do with her. It is her own choice to waste her potential and do stupid things.
But since Su Cheng had left instructions before he left, Qian Renxue didn't want his hard work to go to waste.
"Idiot, this is just a fake world, you're wasting your time!"
"..."
Su Yue remained silent, even closing her eyes tightly as she immersed herself in the rapid increase in her power.
She wasn't stupid. Through the conversation she had just heard and by comparing it with a series of events that had occurred over the years, she had roughly guessed some of the hidden truths.
Although many details are still unclear, we can get a general idea of what's going on.
This world must be a place like a dream.
Now that he possesses the Dragon God Bloodline and has received guidance from Su Cheng, he should take this opportunity to consolidate his realm so that he can transform what he has gained here into resources for future cultivation after returning to reality.
But she just couldn't suppress the impulse at that moment.
So what if I'm stupid!
She just wanted to catch up with him and ask him what he really meant and what his actions were all for!
Since you don't need your own power, and since you can venture into the Divine Realm on your own, why bother spending your efforts on yourself in the beginning?
She just needs an answer.
"That idiot..."
Watching the light and shadow transform into a giant silver dragon and vanish in an instant, Qian Renxue's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
She turned to look at Ah Yin, her face darkening, and asked, "Hey, this guy and Su Cheng... could it be...?"
Upon hearing this, Ah Yin blinked innocently, "How would I know? I think you should ask him yourself later."
"..."
Qian Renxue clenched her fists, hesitated for a moment, and then prepared to follow.
"Xiao Xue, wait a minute."
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's voice, Qian Renxue paused, slightly turned her head, and said coldly, "What?"
"There are some parts I don't understand." Bibi Dong seemed a little embarrassed and explained in a low voice, "Your talent is better than mine, could you teach me?"
"..." Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, then sighed and turned to walk towards Bibi Dong.
A figure emanating a faint glow stood outside an endless curtain of light, scrutinizing the "barrier" before him.
If you look at it from a great distance, you will find that it is not a straight wall of light, but has a slight curve, like a huge bubble covering the vast world.
But in reality, this is not a real material world, but an alternate dimension created by humans, and its nature is somewhat similar to the Rakshasa Secret Realm or the Hell Road.
However, compared to those inherited secret realms, the energy level of the Divine Realm is undoubtedly countless times higher.
"I see..."
Su Cheng rested his chin on his hand, gaining a clearer understanding of the so-called "Divine Realm".
This place is actually a special space formed by the mental power of various planes.
Planets are physical entities with their own time and space, but the Divine Realm is not; it is not a physical entity. Although its power surpasses that of planets, it lacks a stable spacetime.
Even disregarding the combat power of the gods residing within, destroying such a space would be far easier than destroying Douluo Star.
The reason why the Divine Realm has a stronger carrying capacity than the lower realms and can remain stable is because this place is constantly absorbing the spiritual power from various realms, thus creating a living environment similar to those of other realms.
Su Cheng couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, "Calling them parasites is really an accurate description."
He examined the thick membrane barrier in front of him. It was actually an extremely condensed elemental force of heaven and earth, tens of millions of times purer and more concentrated than the natural energy of the lower realm. Its concentration was roughly the same as that of the top-tier treasures in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
If the Divine Realm wants to expand further, and even to accommodate more energy and deities, it needs to cover more lower realms and absorb more spiritual power.
This would undoubtedly be a good thing for the Divine Realm, as their power would grow stronger, but for the lower realm, it would do more harm than good.
First, the upper limit of each plane and planet will be severely restricted. Second, the top experts that those planets occasionally support will eventually enter the Divine Realm because their planes are unable to support them.
The only advantage is that you can get the "protection" of the Divine Realm, but the protection fee is a little bit expensive.
"The way of Heaven is to take from those who have more than enough and give to those who have less than enough; the way of man is to take from those who have less than enough and give to those who have more than enough..." Su Cheng murmured, "No wonder the will of the universe doesn't like this place."
For individuals or groups, concentrating resources is a shortcut to accelerate development. If the general direction is correct, efficiency will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
However, from the perspective of cosmic environmental stability, it is clear that the richer the ecological chain, the more conducive it is to balance and stability.
In terms of sheer power, no god is worth mentioning before the power of the universe. But unfortunately, the universe only possesses a broad will and does not have true consciousness; rules are the foundation of its operation.
This is precisely why the gods had the opportunity to exploit the loophole.
That is to create a space with an extremely high energy limit, capable of protecting the gods, and whose nature is similar to a "plane".
The Cosmic Rules suppress the gods, but they will never restrict planes, much less restrict the free living beings in the universe, because those are the key links in the cosmic chain.
Therefore, the Cosmic Rules can only do so much when facing the Divine Realm. At most, they can attract some spacetime turbulence to attack and destroy, or suppress the gods who have left the Divine Realm. There is no other way.
"Asura God, I'm not the one who's gone astray..."
At this moment, Su Cheng's expression suddenly shifted slightly, and he looked to the side.
With a flash of dazzling silver light, a long and magnificent silver dragon appeared beside him.
He was only slightly surprised, but quickly regained his composure.
At this moment, his human emotions were gradually fading, while his detached and lofty divine weight was slowly increasing.
Of course, he was also fully aware of the changes in his own state of mind.
Besides the rapid increase in energy level, the loss of a physical body is also a major reason for this situation.
"You've arrived." He greeted softly, then turned to look at the light screen in front of him. "The Asura God said that my existence is wrong, violates the order, and will destroy the foundation of the universe... Ha, does the universe really need these so-called 'judges' to regulate and control its operation?"
He stretched out his arm, palm facing forward, and gently manipulated the highly defensive light barrier, creating a gaping hole large enough for the Silver Dragon King to enter. "Perhaps such beings were necessary in the beginning, after all, the universe was unstable back then, and most beings lived in constant fear. However, as the Cosmic Rules have gradually become complete, the great ship of the new era can no longer accommodate these ancient parasites..."
Su Cheng sighed inwardly.
Just like the energy changes happening in the body right now, when Earth, Water, Wind, Fire first came into contact, the process was indeed extremely intense and imperfect.
If he had the ability to make adjustments and limitations at this point, he could have avoided a potentially disastrous end.
Perhaps the Divine Realm of that time played a role similar to that of a "savior"...
"This is probably what you call 'smuggling.' I wonder if anything like this has ever happened in the Divine Realm before." Su Cheng turned to look at the Silver Dragon King and chuckled, "Want to come along?"
The Silver Dragon King met his gaze, and under the calm gaze of those eyes, his restless heart seemed to be slowly soothed.
"Together."
"Okay." Su Cheng flashed and appeared directly on the smooth back of the dazzling silver dragon. His expression immediately became extremely satisfied. "Finally, I have a chance to get up here. I've wanted to experience this feeling for a long time."
"Su! Cheng!" The Silver Dragon King's figure stopped abruptly, and then a low growl suppressing intense anger came from the dragon's mouth.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, you look really cool like this."
"Get out of here!"
"Let me stand here a little longer... Hey, don't transform yet!"
A man and a woman walked on a Divine Realm path where the primordial energy of heaven and earth was extremely abundant.
Su Yue's expression was stiff; her anger had not subsided even now.
"It was just a short ride, why are you so angry?" Su Cheng couldn't help but complain.
"Why don't you let me try riding it too?" Su Yue glanced at him and sneered.
"Sure, ride as much as you want, I don't mind, unlike you who's so stingy."
"..."
Su Yue Shen froze for a moment, then she snorted coldly, "I didn't come here to listen to you say these things."
"Okay, so what would you like to hear?"
"Tell me what happened to you first."
"My situation is rather complicated. To put it simply, I'm probably a representative chosen by the Cosmic Rules," Su Cheng pondered.
"The existence of the Divine Realm is no longer suitable for the current environment and needs to be changed or even abolished. However, forcibly destroying it would obviously go against the rules of the universe. It would be best to find someone to complete this task. Don't be fooled by the infinite power of the universe; it is actually very difficult to achieve this."
"How so?"
Su Yue's eyes flickered slightly as she thought of the Dragon God's tribulation to become a god.
That terrifying Dragon God Tribulation, though only a fraction of the power from a corner of the universe, nearly killed the Dragon God who stood at the pinnacle of all living beings.
If they truly disliked the existence of the Divine Realm, wouldn't destroying it be an easy task?
"You can't treat the will of the universe as a real person. Its operation has its own rules and laws. If these are broken, the universe will not be far from destruction. In short, there are many difficulties involved, and it is estimated that similar situations will be difficult to occur in the future."
"So you're saying you can't be sure it won't happen again? Then... I might be pulled into a similar illusion again?"
"No, it won't happen," Su Cheng asserted.
He seemed extremely certain about this.
"In fact, beings above the God-level can no longer be pulled by this illusionary realm. Xiao Xue and Dong'er's situation is an example."
"They have all surpassed the God-level in reality. The reason they were able to enter is because when this world was created, its Spirit Core was constructed by the world with extremely high-level Source Power, which brought their consciousness energy from reality into it."
"But the presence of those Spirit Core is far stronger than the consciousness structure they project in this world, and it gives them extremely strong instincts. Otherwise, why do you think Bibi Dong showed me such extraordinary closeness when we first met?"
"I only realized this later. If I wasn't the one who got close to them in this world, I wouldn't be able to move their hearts at all."
At this point, Su Cheng glanced at Su Yue beside him again, "As for you... although your power is very strong, even surpassing ordinary God-level when you were the Silver Dragon King, your rank has actually fallen below the God-level, and even your divine consciousness has been shattered into Spiritual Sense. After this experience, I believe it's only a matter of time before you regain your godhood."
"Oh." Su Yue nodded, secretly relieved.
The past ten years or so have passed in the blink of an eye compared to the length of her life.
But what I saw and gained in that fleeting moment seemed far more profound and wonderful than the long years that had passed.
But if we could do it again...
Thinking of this, Su Yue subconsciously glanced at the man beside her and pursed her lips.
"Is Douluo Star special? Why are so many outstanding figures born in this plane?"
"You noticed it too?" Su Cheng, somewhat surprised.
"In fact, Douluo Star itself is not very strong. Among the many planes in this universe, whether it is the energy level it can bear or the cultivation limit of intelligent beings, it can only be described as average."
"But the capacity to carry energy is only one of the criteria for judging a plane, and it cannot determine the potential of this world. The potential of a plane ultimately depends on the performance of the intelligent beings living in it."
"I believe that the state of Douluo Star is extremely rare, even among the myriad planes."
"Putting everything else aside, this plane has produced two beings who cultivated to the First-Level God through their own abilities, and it has also nurtured a large number of powerful Soul Beast with astonishing aptitude. Moreover, you reside here, which is clearly extraordinary. What's more, figures like Tang Chen, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Tang San have all been born here..."
Tang San's situation is still in doubt. After all, he had cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, a technique he obtained from the Tang Sect in his previous life, to consolidate his foundation before awakening his Martial Soul. It's hard to say what level his true talent is.
However, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Tang Chen, and others are truly deserving of godhood. Even without Godhood Inheritance, they still have a great chance of ascending to godhood.
