On the seventh day after the soul beast rules were rewritten, Heaven Dou City and its surroundings were still coming to terms with the enormous changes.
On the top floor of the Soul Tool Divine Tower, Lin Chen stood before the window with his hands behind his back.
Below, the streets formed a sea of lights. Soul Tool Streetlamps, Soul Tool Communication Towers, Commuter Vehicles, and Iced Drink Machines had long since become part of everyday life.
In the distant mountain forests, divine light occasionally shot skyward as soul beasts successfully passed their tribulations.
But he knew that what truly kept everyone from advancing was not merely soul rings or soul beast tribulations. It was the gateway to godhood.
Under Douluo's old rules, only those at level one hundred could be called gods.
To reach level one hundred, they first had to break through the plane's level ninety-nine restriction.
Even after finally reaching level one hundred, they had to inherit a divine position before they could go any further.
They either accepted a predecessor's inheritance or gathered the faith of living beings to establish self-created godhood.
But there were only so many divine positions, and fewer still stood vacant. No matter how promising someone in the lower realm was, without a deity to guide them or an available divine position, they still could not enter the Divine Realm.
Even if they did not compete for a divine position and barely managed to ascend with level-one-hundred divine power, they could only become an Unranked Divine Official, working at the very bottom of a temple.
That was the fundamental problem Lin Chen wanted to change.
He sent a mental message to the Divine Realm. "Eldest Sister, Second Brother, Third Sister, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, come over. Sister Na, you too."
