The Awakened Silver Dragon King
The Star Dou Great Forest is the most central area that is difficult for outsiders to access.
As usual, the handsome, middle-aged Di Tian stood alone by the Lake of Life, lost in thought.
The distance from here to Spirit City is not too far. As one of the strongest people who have lived on Douluo Star for hundreds of thousands of years, he is naturally familiar with the Spirit Hall, the strongest force in the human Soul Master World in the last ten thousand years.
However, since the Spirit Hall was related to the inheritance of First-Level God, he did not want to get too involved with it.
However, an incident that occurred more than a year ago left him feeling slightly uneasy.
A terrifying aura, as dazzling as the blazing sun, once appeared in Spirit City.
Ordinary people might not be able to sense it, but as Beast God whose strength stands at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent, Di Tian could not possibly be completely unaware.
He still vividly remembered the grand occasion when the Angel God and the Sea God ascended to godhood. He was certain that they were not the successors of the Angel God, nor were they related to the Angel Douluo in the temple.
Countless past experiences have proven that humans have always been fond of internal strife.
Whenever a period of great strength emerges among humans, it is likely to be the most prosperous and chaotic period in the Soul Master World.
Di Tian was not happy about this.
When the strong fight each other, the weaker ones with vested interests are often the first to suffer before they even decide who wins.
Soul Beast, as an indispensable resource for Soul Master' advancement, may not have an easy time in this environment.
He was very clear that a successor of the Rakshasa God had appeared in the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong Di Tian had sensed Bibi Dong's aura when she came to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beast.
However, since the Silver Dragon King has not yet recovered from his injuries and does not want to get involved with the Divine Realm, he has been sitting idly by.
Now, with this newly added powerful figure, it's hard not to make Di Tian's mind wander.
However, there are limits to concessions; we can't just completely ignore the situation and let the Soul Beast Clan suffer serious damage.
At this moment, he was even considering whether to first bring the two exceptionally talented and powerful Soul Beast, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, who had just advanced to the level of 100,000 years old, under his command.
Suddenly, Di Tian looked up sharply, his eyes flashing with golden light, and a powerful aura burst forth from his body.
He sensed the turbulent energy emanating from the depths of the lake.
"My lord?!"
Compared to the slight joy on his face, Di Tian felt more astonishment.
He never expected that the Silver Dragon King would awaken at this moment.
At the same time, in the space at the bottom of the lake, a huge silver dragon with a body size of over a hundred feet stretched out its body, and a complex and incomprehensible light flashed in its slowly opened eyes.
A flood of memories rushed into my mind...
The exact location of the Dragon Clan Burial Ground, the new insights gained from transformation and rebirth, the profound application of the Dragon God Power, the differences between becoming a god in human form and being Dragon Clan, the strange feelings after absorbing the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, the power and flaws perceived upon returning to the peak and becoming a complete Dragon God, and... those more than ten years of worldly experience, and that human.
Immediately afterwards, the last scene before she woke up flashed through her mind, along with the other person's words, "See you in reality."
"Will we meet again?" the Silver Dragon King murmured.
Soon, a voice appeared in Di Tian's mind.
"Di Tian, have you heard of a human powerhouse named 'Su Cheng' in recent years?"
"Su Cheng?" Di Tian was puzzled by this strange question, but still quickly replied, "No."
Although Su Cheng's reputation was well-known throughout the continent because of the Spirit Master Competition and his position as an elder of the Spirit Hall, someone like Di Tian obviously wouldn't care about titles like "the youngest elder of the Spirit Hall".
He had been on this planet for far too many years and had seen countless outstanding individuals. Apart from those who had the potential to become gods, only level 99 Limit Douluo could probably earn his slight attention.
However, he noticed that the Silver Dragon King's personality seemed to have changed, and his emotions were more active than before.
The voice just now carried a sense of anxiety and confusion, something that had never happened before.
For the former Silver Dragon King, even finding the Golden Dragon King and re-merging with him to become Dragon God was just a goal she set out to achieve, not something she was in a hurry to do.
But Di Tian didn't press further, only asking, "My lord, have your injuries healed?"
"...not yet."
"No?" Di Tian was taken aback. "Won't your early awakening affect the progress of your injury recovery?"
"It's alright, I already have a better way. But before that, I need to wait for someone."
"A person? Is it Su Cheng, the one you just mentioned?"
"Hmm." The Silver Dragon King replied simply in a low voice, but then his voice immediately revealed obvious joy and a hint of excitement, "He's here!"
Without bothering to investigate the reason for his master's attitude, Di Tian suddenly turned his head and saw that the external barrier, which even those Limit Douluo had difficulty detecting, was now being easily passed through by a young human who walked up to him.
In the center of the palace, bathed in golden light, two pillars of light, one black and one white, stood silently, each containing a humanoid phantom, as if they were the center of the entire world.
The palace is surrounded by octagonal walls, above which countless images constantly shift and flicker. Each of these light screens represents a story and scene unfolding on a different planet in the lower realm.
This is where the God Realm Committee monitors countless planes in the lower realms.
At this moment, both of them seemed to be observing the same light screen, searching for something within it.
"... As expected, it's impossible to find him." After a long while, a long sigh came from the white pillar of light.
"That aura only appeared for a moment. I even suspect that he was deliberately luring us."
"It's not impossible. Since this person was able to cultivate to this level without making a sound, he is obviously very good at hiding. Moreover, with such strength, he must be able to discover the existence of the Divine Realm."
"Hmph, such a sneaky fellow is probably an enemy rather than a friend."
"Evil, don't jump to conclusions too quickly. Besides this person, isn't there another powerful being who has obtained the power of the Sun Star? If my feeling is correct, that person seems to be a descendant of the Angel God."
"The power of the Sun Star..." The voice from the black pillar of light paused slightly before hesitatingly asking, "How could that kind of energy have been tainted by humans?"
"I didn't know... Asura and the others came."
As he finished speaking, three beams of light—red, green, and gray—drifted over and stopped simultaneously in front of the black and white pillar of light.
The newcomers were none other than the three great God of Law Enforcement: the Asura God, the Life Goddess, and the God of Destruction.
"Greetings, Your Excellencies God King."
"No need for formalities. You've probably noticed it too, right? What are your thoughts?"
The three pondered for a moment upon hearing this, and then the God of Destruction spoke first, "The situation on Douluo Star is extremely complex. It's not just about that unknown powerful figure; life has also sensed the aura of the Child of Nature on that planet. Moreover, the Sea God's and Angel God's Inheritance sites are both in this plane. Even Rakshasa found a suitable successor there before. Asura, I remember you also left a legacy on Douluo Star, didn't you?"
"That's right." The Asura God glanced at the God of Destruction, feeling somewhat displeased.
The Godhood Inheritance found by the Rakshasa God under the opponent's command was the very successor he had originally chosen.
The Godess of Kindness in the white pillar of light looked at the Asura God and asked, "Asura, if you were to handle this matter yourself, are you confident in your abilities?"
"No." The Asura God's reply was concise and to the point.
"Is that so..." The two God Kings were not surprised by his answer.
To be honest, this situation has never happened before in the Divine Realm.
No one could advance to the peak of the First-Level God level under their noses and remain in the mortal realm undetected until then.
Once this level is reached, it becomes quite troublesome for the Divine Realm.
Even the strongest beings at the level of God King, after leaving the Divine Realm, are suppressed by the Cosmic Rules, and their strength is limited to this level.
This also means that unless three or more God King descend to the mortal realm, there is no chance to deal with that unknown powerhouse from Douluo Star.
However, the departure of three God Kings at the same time could potentially affect the stability of the Divine Realm. Moreover, the battle between four peak- First-Level God would inevitably have a significant impact on Douluo Star, a lower realm, which would also contradict their principles.
Moreover, on Douluo Star, the power fluctuations that originated from the same source as the Sun Star were also at the level of Second-Level God.
The group was well aware of the immense power of the Sun Star. In terms of combat strength alone, it was no less than that of the most warlike Asura God in the Divine Realm, and its attributes could even exert a certain degree of restraint on the Asura Divine Power.
This means that the Asura God cannot be among the three in the lower realm, as he would be restrained and unable to exert his full strength. Therefore, one of the two God King must leave.
After much deliberation, the five people voted and finally decided to find an opportunity to test the waters first.
After the three God of Law Enforcement left, a calm voice rang out again from within the white pillar of light, "Evil, have you ever thought about why some people can cultivate to such a level, yet they are not expelled from the plane or suppressed by the Cosmic Rules like ordinary gods?"
"Just say what you have to say."
"Do you remember how many years we've been God King?"
"It's been tens of millions of years..." The being in the black pillar of light seemed to understand the implication in the other's words and said decisively, "But your idea won't work. The desires of intelligent beings are endless. If they are not restricted, they will only create greater hidden dangers and bring disaster to the universe."
"Perhaps," the voice of the white pillar of light gradually lowered, "But the decision may not necessarily be in our hands."
For a long time, no deity descended upon Douluo Star to cause trouble for Su Cheng, due to some strange tacit understanding.
This was not entirely unexpected; it was one of the most likely possible outcomes he anticipated.
But Su Cheng was not in a hurry at all; what should be in a hurry now was the Divine Realm.
Because their respective systems of spiritual practice are completely different.
As time goes by, Su Cheng will become stronger and stronger.
He would quickly digest all the insights he gained from the final stage of the Simulated World, and with each passing day, he would become stronger.
Moreover, the Divine Realm was no longer a mystery to him.
He even thoroughly studied the most fundamental spatial structure of the Divine Realm, the formation principle of the God Realm Core, and the control method of the Mind Power Pillar —these core secrets.
The Divine Realm's possible countermeasures are currently limited to a few specific ones.
The God King might descend to the mortal realm for a battle. However, the possibility is slim, given his current strength. Unless the Asura God and others can circumvent the suppression of the Cosmic Rules, even one or two of them wouldn't be able to defeat him.
In an extreme scenario, they might try to destroy the entire Douluo Plane, but the probability of such an action is even lower.
According to Su Cheng's observations in the Simulation, although the gods in the Divine Realm act rigidly, they are extremely principled. Even though they have held high positions for countless millennia, they have not developed many personal desires.
This situation may arise from the unique nature of the "divine position" itself.
In this world, the power of the gods comes not only from attribute energy, but also from Spiritual Power and the power of faith. The single emotion carried by different faiths has a profound impact on the gods in power, which leads to each god practicing a relatively pure path.
The higher the rank of a deity, the more pronounced this becomes; the existence of a deity is also a mental constraint for all gods.
"... So you think they'll take the initiative to come and negotiate with you?"
The silver-haired little girl beside Su Cheng spoke with suspicion, her face displaying a maturity beyond her years, which only made her seem even cuter.
"They will probably come and talk to me, but I don't necessarily have to wait passively. It wouldn't hurt for me to take the initiative to meet with them."
"Are you going to the Divine Realm to die?"
"Of course I won't go in person. I have other ways. No rush, let me cultivate for a while first."
While Su Cheng was quietly cultivating and rapidly absorbing his profound knowledge, many powerful forces on the continent were being silently eliminated or changed hands.
The most significant changes were seen in the Upper Three Sects.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already switched its allegiance to the Spirit Hall, needless to say.
A rebellion broke out within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, resulting in the death of Clan Chief Yu Yuanzhen. Yu Luomian was promoted to Titled Douluo and became the new Clan Master, also defecting to the Spirit Hall.
The Clear Sky Sect was wiped out by Qian Renxue with a single sword strike, leaving the Clear Sky Hammer bloodline as its sole survivor.
A breeze begins with a ripple on the water, and a wave is formed from a gentle ripple.
Even before a large-scale war broke out, the situation across the entire continent had already undergone a fundamental change.
The powerful Element Academy with special status in the region, such as Godwind Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, Skywater Academy, and Elephant Armor Academy, have become thorns in the side of important provinces, working with the local Spirit Hall Main Hall to infiltrate the higher levels.
It wasn't until three months later, when the Spirit Hall declared its establishment as a nation, that the Two Empires were suddenly shocked to realize that the Spirit Hall's power had spread like wildfire, occupying most of the continent.
Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which holds a pivotal position in the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Netherworld Zhu Family, a top-tier noble force in the Star Luo Empire, have openly expressed their support for the Spirit Hall Empire.
The situation changed dramatically almost in the blink of an eye.
Prior to this, the high-ranking rulers of both the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, though occasionally aware of the situation, were merely wary and not prepared to take any drastic action.
Of course, although the Spirit Hall had been planning for many years, the reason why it was so efficient was mainly due to the strength of the top level of the Spirit Hall.
However, apart from the operation against the Clear Sky Sect, Qian Renxue and the others did not take much action, and with the strength of the Spirit Hall, there was no need for them to do so.
All it takes is for Qian Renxue to make a trip to the Heaven Dou Empire, and for Zhu Zhuqing, who has achieved God-level, to return to the Star Luo Empire and exert a little deterrence, which would be enough to shake people's resolve.
If it weren't for the resentment of the Two Empires families and Su Cheng's desire to prevent them from harming the weak, the process would have been countless times faster.
As for why Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing were not allowed to take action personally, it had nothing to do with principles, but rather that there was no need for it.
Whether the Spirit Hall Empire is established or not, or whether the Douluo Continent can be unified, is not really important; at least, it is far less important than their individual cultivation.
Neither Qian Renxue nor Zhu Zhuqing are suited to the path of cultivation that involves slaughtering the weak, as it could easily affect their character and be detrimental to their future.
As for Ah Yin, needless to say, given her personality, she would probably only step in to save people.
In comparison, only Bibi Dong could make a move.
However, as the future emperor of the empire, it would be beneath her dignity to personally carry out such a massacre, so she had to resort to a slightly more complicated method.
