Are They Gods or Humans?
Yu Xiaogang's words about fighting sent a chill down Tang San's spine. His eyes darted around hesitantly as he looked at Teacher Yu Xiaogang and said:
"Teacher, why can't we coexist? Why do we have to fight to the death? Aren't we all people on the path of cultivation? Teacher, is there some hidden reason we don't know about?"
Tang San's words made Yu Xiaogang lose his composure. He never expected that Tang San, who used to be quick to kill people in the original story, would become so hesitant and start to become more feminine and emotional.
Yu Xiaogang soon realized why. It must have been his own fault that Tang San had experienced a second life on his Path to Tempering the Heart. The different life experiences changed Tang San's outlook on life.
Since Tang San had already asked, Yu Xiaogang decided to tell them his findings, as if to give his disciple a heads-up. He said seriously and solemnly, "San-ge, you are still too one-sided. Douluo has Divine Realm. Apart from those who were created from the Divine Realm and were born from heaven and earth as primordial gods, everyone else enters the Divine Realm and becomes a god through cultivation."
As soon as Yu Xiaogang had a thought, a huge three-dimensional projection appeared between him and Tang San's disciples. This was a model of the operating principle of the Divine Realm projected by himself and Deep Blue through God Realm Fragment and the data they collected.
Tang San and his companions stared in astonishment at the enormous tree in front of them, composed of countless energy channels. Tang San, whose body had evolved due to the condensation of his nascent core, had exceptionally sharp eyesight and discovered that the ends of the energy tree's roots were all planets, each representing a strange new world.
The roots of the energy tree penetrated into these worlds as if drawing something from them. A large amount of energy converged in the tree canopy through countless energy channels, forming a hazy continent floating in the starry sky.
Yu Xiaogang then lightly tapped the 3D projection in front of him, magnifying one of the roots of the energy tree infinitely. Soon, a somewhat familiar planet appeared before Tang San and his companions, revealing a massive isolating and sealing barrier enveloping the entire planet. This was not just due to one energy tree root drawing Heaven and Earth Energy.
Tang San looked at it more and more, feeling that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. At this moment, Yu Linglong, with a gloomy look in her eyes, whispered angrily in his ear:
"Dad, isn't this 3D projected planet the Douluo Continent we're standing on? Doesn't that mean we're all being exploited? This planet is exactly the same as the map in your study, Dad. Now I finally understand why there are so few gods in the history of the Douluo Continent."
Tang San turned around and looked at his senior sister Yu Linglong with surprise and uncertainty. When he saw Linglong nod slightly to him in affirmation, Tang San was a little incredulous as to why the gods would set up an isolation and sealing barrier for Douluo Star and extract Heaven and Earth Energy.
Are all those roots and their tips individual worlds? Aren't the Divine Realm supposed to protect the mortal realm? Tang San had many questions he wanted to ask his Teacher Yu Xiaogang:
"Why is the teacher acting like this? What exactly are we Soul Master? What is the purpose of that isolation and sealing barrier that covers Douluo Star?"
In response to Tang San's question, Yu Xiaogang intended to broaden their horizons. Recently, after breaking through the original Soul Master World in the Douluo World, he developed Divine Sense and discovered that seven-colored mysterious energy had appeared on his body. Yu Xiaogang then focused his Divine Sense consciousness.
He gathered the seven-colored energy that Entanglement the edge of his soul into his hand, making it visible in reality, and then said to Tang San and his disciples:
"The Divine Realm are like shepherds, while our world is like sheep being let graze freely. We harvest their wool from time to time to defend against hungry wolves, since there are only a few innate gods born from nature."
Most of them ascended to godhood through the faith of those with great fortune in the lower realms. This is the Faith Power that Entanglement the teacher's soul! However, faith can be both a blessing and a curse. In the end, those gods are also practitioners on the path of cultivation. Those gods who ascended to godhood through faith need more faith to continue to grow stronger.
We Soul Master are the source of Faith Power. As for why the sealing barrier on Douluo Star was to exterminate the god-level powerhouses of the Soul Beast Clan, it was because of an ancient, protracted divine war that shattered much of the Divine Realm. Moreover, if the Divine Realm wanted to continue expanding, it needed a large amount of world power, that is, the Heaven and Earth Energy.
Tang San's eyes widened in shock. He had been overwhelmed by the shock today. He had learned so many secrets of the world from Teacher Yu Xiaogang, and he couldn't quite accept it. After all, this information was beyond Tang San's capacity to process.
After all, Tang San, unlike Yu Xiaogang, hadn't been exposed to the internet. There was nothing he hadn't seen before. This was the first time Tang San, an ancient person, had received such information, which shocked his worldview. He realized that even gods were cultivated from humans.
Humans have selfish desires, and so do gods. If Tang San were the Douluo God himself, he would definitely take action if there were rebels in his own sheepfold. Moreover, given the cultivation path pioneered by his teacher Yu Xiaogang, he doesn't want to use the Faith Power to cultivate and become stronger.
Tang San couldn't imagine what crazy things those Douluo Gods would do if they knew about his teacher's path of cultivation. After all, his teacher had just clearly stated that apart from the few born of heaven and earth, all the other gods were cultivated from humans.
As long as one is human, one will have ambition and selfishness. This reminded Tang San of his past life in the martial arts world, where people fought to the death for a divine martial arts manual, turning the entire martial arts world into a bloodbath. He couldn't help but shudder.
Tang San opened his beautiful blue-gold eyes and looked at Teacher Yu Xiaogang expectantly, saying:
"Then, teacher, what is the end of your cultivation path? Is it that immortal being?"
"Immortal? What is San-ge, mistress? What can't one cultivate to become a god?"
Oscar looked puzzled and said, "After all, there's no legend of cultivating immortality in the Douluo Continent, and everyone has a different definition of immortality."
In response to Tang San and the others' questions, Yu Xiaogang channeled his limited Spiritual Power, allowing himself to float without external force. His clothes and long golden hair moved without wind, and a layer of shimmering white light seemed to envelop him, making Tang San Yu Xiaogang the others feel that their teacher had suddenly become very far away.
The problem was that Yu Xiaogang was floating quietly in front of them, smiling and watching them. A tranquil and natural aura filled the entire Training Field, calming the restless hearts of Tang San and the others.
Yu Xiaogang parted his lips slightly, his voice not loud but clearly audible to Tang San's disciples. "This is immortality. Your teacher has only stepped halfway onto the path of immortality. I am not yet an immortal, but I possess a portion of the power of an immortal. Your teacher does not know what lies at the end of this path, but your teacher hopes to take you all to see it. However, this path may be very arduous. Are you willing?"
Tang San was so excited that he trembled a little. It was amazing that his teacher had actually created a cultivation technique. For people from ancient times, this was a stroke of luck! Moreover, Teacher Yu Xiaogang could clearly see it just now, but he couldn't sense the mysterious aura at all with his Mental Power.
Tang San then thought of his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, who could handcraft Spirit Ring and various magical Soul Tool that were just like Magic Tool in mythological picture books. He was probably almost on par with the gods in the Douluo God Realm!
According to his teacher, the gods here are all cultivated from humans. Where there are people, there is a world of intrigue and backstabbing. Tang San understands the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime. It seems that as his teacher's disciple, he is bound to have a battle with the gods of the Divine Realm.
"Teacher! We're willing!!!"
These few words came from their mouths with great confidence.
