Sealed Douluo, Introducing One Hundred and Eighty Lifeforms from Other Worlds

For these wandering souls from other realms, they had seen such high-dimensional remnants drift into the Douluo Universe more than once. Most, however, were erased by the laws of the universe before they could even find a suitable vessel to reincarnate into; the rare few who succeeded in reincarnating would mysteriously vanish shortly after they began to grow.

They had once wanted to capture one or two to study the mysteries within, hoping to strengthen the God Realm, but they never had the opportunity.

After all, such things were far too difficult—nearly impossible.

That was only when they were still able to see them.

But now, Qian Chongguang was actually going to cast a hundred or so of these "Heavenly Pride" souls into the Douluo Continent? And he intended to completely seal off the Douluo Continent, preventing them from interfering?!

Setting aside whether he could succeed, if he truly did, and these reincarnated souls were indeed the remnants of high-dimensional powerhouses, their growth would spell absolute catastrophe for their God Realm!

The Dragon God of the past, merely a supreme powerhouse born within the Douluo Universe, had already created uncontrollable variables for the entire universe just by wanting to lead the God Realm to break its shackles and evolve into a God Star. In the end, they had no choice but to join forces to slay him, forcibly snuffing out the possibility of cosmic evolution.

When it came down to it, the five God Kings and the entire Douluo Universe had always been spineless cowards content with the status quo, preferring to guard this corner of the God Realm and slowly wither away until the universe reached its end, rather than dare to take a single step toward a higher dimension.

Because they were afraid—afraid of those ruthless beings in high-dimensional universes who could dominate eternity and sweep across the heavens at a whim; afraid that they wouldn't even know how they died.

Let alone having the resolve to abandon their inherited god positions and leave the Douluo God Realm to see the scenery of other worlds.

Yet now, Qian Chongguang had personally tossed this "terrifying" possibility right onto their doorstep!

"Qian Chongguang! You've gone mad!!"

Asura's eyes were splitting with rage. Unable to hold back any longer, he was the first to transform into a streak of blood-colored light, lunging toward Qian Chongguang. "Do you have any idea what you are doing?! You are going to destroy the entire Douluo Universe!"

He was afraid—truly afraid.

"And so what? Whether it dies or not is irrelevant; what matters is that I am happy."

Qian Chongguang couldn't have cared less.

The other four God Kings reacted simultaneously. No longer caring about the God Realm Covenant or their dignity, all five struck at once. Five waves of God King-level divine power surged forth, covering the sky and earth as they descended upon Qian Chongguang, determined to stop him at any cost!

But the moment their divine power was about to touch him, the figure before them suddenly turned illusory!

They struck nothing but empty air; what they grasped was merely a phantom remnant of light and darkness!

"What?!"

Destruction God King's expression shifted violently. His divine sense spread out instantly, only to discover that Qian Chongguang's aura had already appeared at the entrance of the plane channel, tens of thousands of miles away!

His speed had reached a level that surpassed the locking range of divine sense!

It was an extreme speed bought by burning the very last of his divine soul essence. Unless the five God Kings burned their own God King essence simultaneously, it was impossible to catch him!

"Damn it! Damn it all!!"

Asura was trembling with rage, a mouthful of essence blood spraying from his lips, yet he could only watch helplessly, unable to give chase.

The gods could only stand frozen in place, watching that figure intertwined with light and darkness stand at the entrance of the plane channel, pouring all his remaining strength into the spatial barrier between the Douluo Continent and the God Realm!

A golden-black light membrane covering the entire plane channel formed instantly, firmly locking every path from the God Realm to the Douluo Continent!

Engraved upon the membrane were the origin laws of the Angel God and the forbidden marks left by Qian Chongguang's burning soul—indestructible!

Immediately following, hundreds of life-points, each carrying a different aura yet all possessing extraordinary talent, shot through the gaps in the light membrane like a meteor shower, precisely landing in every corner of the Douluo Continent before vanishing instantly.

Once this was done, Qian Chongguang's figure became nearly transparent, his divine body beginning to crumble inch by inch!

He turned his head one last time to look at the furious five God Kings in the distance, revealing a final, mocking smile.

At the same time, above the God Realm Hub, that thread of faith that had been firmly connected to the Douluo Continent snapped with a "pop," breaking completely!

From this moment on, the God Realm and the Douluo Continent were entirely severed.

They could no longer spy on the slightest detail of the lower realm, could no longer interfere with any development on the Douluo Continent, and could no longer plant their own successors or manipulate the fates of mortals there.

"Bye-bye, my dear friends. I hope my gift brings you joy in the future."

As the final voice faded, Qian Chongguang's figure also dissolved into a sky full of light and dark specks, scattering between heaven and earth without leaving behind even a trace of his divine soul.

He left behind only a God Realm in utter disarray and a group of gods with livid, furious expressions.

"Damn it! That damned Qian Chongguang!!"

Asura slashed his sword fiercely against a nearby white jade pillar, shattering the entire pillar and the surrounding space into pieces. "I will find his soul, even if I have to grind his bones to dust!!"

"Stop shouting! He burned away his very last shred of soul; where do you expect to find him?"

Destruction God King's face was dark as he barked a stern command to stop him. He walked quickly to the plane channel and reached out to touch the light-and-dark-intertwined sealing membrane. The moment his fingertip brushed it, he was repelled by a violent force, let alone reaching the periphery of that planet.

His expression grew even uglier as he turned to Life Goddess. "Can you break his seal?"

Life Goddess stepped forward, green light overflowing from her fingertips as she sensed the law patterns on the membrane. After a long while, she shook her head helplessly, her tone grave. "It is very difficult. He used the Angel God's origin, combined with the forbidden seal left by burning his entire soul, and bound it to the plane laws of the entire Douluo Continent. To force a break, we would either have to sacrifice more than half of our five God Kings' origin cultivation, or exhaust seventy percent of the God Realm's million-year energy reserves. The cost outweighs the gain."

"Furthermore," Goodness Goddess added, her tone filled with worry, "we have already expended a great deal of divine power in the battle just now, and the God Realm's energy reserves have suffered significant depletion. If we over-expend our essence and reserves, and the Golden Dragon King sealed deep within the God Realm takes the opportunity to break free, we will have no strength left to handle it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell silent.

The expressions of the gods turned unsightly. The commotion from that earth-shattering battle had been so great that it was impossible for the Golden Dragon King, sealed at the core of the God Realm, not to have noticed.

Although the Golden Dragon King did not inherit the Dragon God's wisdom, he had been sealed for a million years; there was no guarantee he hadn't grown—just as Qian Chongguang had chosen to flee rather than face the Three Realms Judgment Sword head-on, who was to say the Golden Dragon King hadn't learned to endure and scheme?

"Are we just going to let it go?" a first-level god asked with a trembling voice. "If those hundred or so prodigies truly grow up, how will our God Realm respond?"

"What are you panicking about?" Evil God King frowned and spoke up suddenly. "Have you forgotten? The laws of heaven and earth on the Douluo Continent have a ceiling. To break through to level one hundred and become a god, one must have a corresponding god position to support it. Even if he has sealed the plane channel, those in the lower realm might reach the threshold of level one hundred, but without a god position from the God Realm, their cultivation will be stuck at the critical point; it is impossible for them to advance further. How many level-one-hundred powerhouses can that tiny plane of the Douluo Continent support? Three or five at most. A hundred prodigies? It would be a lot if even a few survived to break through to level one hundred."

Upon hearing this, many gods breathed a sigh of relief. That was right; the shackles of the laws of heaven and earth were there. Without a god position, no matter how high their talent, it was impossible for them to grow infinitely.

In that case, was Qian Chongguang's move a mistake?

"No." Destruction God King shook his head, his expression remaining grave. "Have you forgotten who Qian Chongguang is? From the moment he appeared until now, has he ever made a miscalculation? Would he commit such a low-level error? Since he dared to cast down a hundred or so prodigies, he must have a way to deal with the shackles of the laws."

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence once more.

After a long while, Life Goddess spoke slowly, her voice carrying a trace of fear she herself was unwilling to admit: "Have you ever considered... that he is doing this as a form of gu-breeding?"

"A hundred or so heaven-gifted prodigies placed on the same continent, with limited resources and a limited ceiling of laws—if they want to survive and break through that ceiling, they have no choice but to slaughter and devour one another."

"If, in the end, only one person survives this slaughter, having devoured the talent, origin, and destiny of all the others, just how terrifying would that final survivor be?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they felt like a cold current, instantly coursing through the bodies of every god present.

The gods shuddered, all trembling in unison as a chill that seeped into their very marrow instantly enveloped the entire God Realm.

A single heaven-gifted prodigy is not terrifying; even a powerhouse reincarnated from a higher dimension has a growth period and a limit.

But a hundred or so prodigies placed together, using an entire continent as a breeding ground, with the sole victor emerging from the slaughter—that would be a truly terrifying existence capable of overturning everything.

They had "won" the battle before them and "forced" Qian Chongguang to his death.

Yet, they all knew clearly that from the moment Qian Chongguang cast down those hundred or so points of light and sealed the Douluo Continent, this war had only just begun.

They dared not even imagine: had Qian Chongguang truly died just like that?

He had even managed to create a clone that they could not distinguish from the real thing, and with one contingency plan after another, could it be that he truly had no backup plan for resurrection...

ps: Congratulations to all you handsome men and beautiful women, Douluo Online has officially begun. Let us enter the Douluo Continent together and slaughter.
