[However, I ultimately gave up the Dragon God Divine Martial Soul.]

[The Dragon God might be good, but its upper limit had already been locked. The so-called Supreme God King? It could only strut around within the tiny worldview of Douluo Continent!]

[Once it left Douluo Continent, the Dragon God was nothing!]

Soul Land III Gu Yuena: "..."

[That wasn't entirely correct either. As a Supreme God King, the Dragon God's flesh, tendons, blood, and bones were all heavenly treasures. They should be quite good for replenishing yang energy...]

Gu Yuena: "A warrior may be killed, but never humiliated. Qin Moyu, just you wait!!!"

Gu Yuena's face instantly darkened by more than half as she read this, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

As the Silver Dragon King, the incarnation born from the Dragon God's benevolent essence, she had an incomparably strong desire for the Dragon God's authority.

Yet in Qin Moyu's eyes, the Dragon God had become a frog at the bottom of a well trapped in a small world, and was even being considered for the pot as a supplement!

Gu Yuena clenched her jade-like hands, gritting her silver teeth in equal shame and fury.

A lady was no lady if she did not avenge this grievance!

[The Douluo Plane wasn't of a high level. Even the Douluo God Realm, with its deepest foundations, could at best be considered a minor universe—perhaps not even that!]

[Take Battle Through the Heavens as a comparison. On the Dou Qi Continent, a Title Douluo's strength was roughly equivalent to that of a Dou Wang or Dou Emperor expert.]

[A Dou Wang on the Dou Qi Continent could form wings from dou qi and soar through the skies, while Title Douluos on Douluo Continent, aside from those with flight-type Martial Souls, basically couldn't fly for extended periods.]

[In Battle Through the Heavens, the Dou Emperor was the strongest existence. Such experts could control the origin of space with their bare hands, overturn heaven and earth with a thought, and wipe out mountain ranges stretching tens of thousands of miles with a flick of their fingers. Its power system completely crushed Douluo Continent, even the Douluo God Realm.]

[The Great Thousand World of The Great Ruler was the ascended plane of Battle Through the Heavens. Between them lay two dimensional barriers: middle thousand worlds and small thousand worlds!]

[The comparison made things very clear. If one chose the Dragon God Divine Martial Soul and went to a high-dimensional universe like The Great Ruler, the Dragon God would only be fit to serve as food. It wouldn't even be worthy of guarding someone's gate like a dog.]

[Young Dragon God, considering how difficult your cultivation has been, please enter my pot and sleep for a while...]

The women of Douluo: "..."

As they read the diary's contents, the female protagonists of the Douluo Plane all wore expressions of shock and dazed disbelief on their exquisite faces.

Was this what it meant that there was always someone stronger, and a sky beyond the sky?

The God Realm they revered as supreme was, in the eyes of higher-dimensional planes, merely a frog at the bottom of a well in some remote corner.

God Realm, deep within the Forest of Life.

An endless expanse of emerald spring water stretched as far as the eye could see, while dense, vibrant life force shrouded the surroundings. This was the most tranquil and peaceful place in the God Realm, as well as the residence of the Goddess of Life.

"Unbelievable. So the God Realm we had guarded so steadfastly was only of such a low level?" the Goddess of Life murmured softly.

She stood by the spiritual spring, gazing at the truth about the planes revealed in the diary. Her clear eyes were filled with emotion.

Perhaps the God Realm truly should expand...

At that moment, the Goddess of Life's deeply rooted beliefs quietly began to waver.

For a long time, she had always agreed with the Sea God Tang San's faction, believing that the actions of the conservative faction led by the Destruction God King were far too radical...

The Goddess of Life only wished for the God Realm to develop steadily and had never wanted to actively expand through war.

But Qin Moyu's analysis of the hierarchy of planes had allowed her to see the smallness of the Douluo God Realm clearly.

Perhaps her husband, the Destruction God King, had been right?

In truth, there might have been a deeper reason why the Goddess of Life supported the outsider Sea God Tang San rather than her husband, the Destruction God King...

On the surface, the Goddess of Life was not a decisive God King who killed without hesitation, so her decision to support the Sea God Tang San was understandable.

But on a deeper level, perhaps it was because the Goddess of Life had been unable to touch the Destruction God King for so long that their married sex life had gone unsatisfied, causing the two God Kings' ideals to diverge?

They said that when husband and wife argued, they fought at the head of the bed and made up at the foot of it. But destruction and life did not even have the chance to touch each other. If they remained unsatisfied for so long, it was inevitable that their beliefs would run in opposite directions...

Of course, this was only one possibility... It did not mean this view was true.

Nor did it mean that because the Goddess of Life openly supported the Sea God Tang San in the God Realm Committee and opposed her own husband, the Destruction God King, one could unilaterally conclude that there was some unknown transaction between the Goddess of Life and the Sea God, the two God Kings...

Nor did it mean

Goddess of Life = Mu Ningxue.

Therefore, please do not take things out of context!

The Goddess of Life gently shook her head, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her heart as her gaze returned to the Diary Copy.

This youth Qin Moyu, who came from a higher dimension, possessed vision and knowledge far beyond every living being in this world.

He could even reject the eternally invincible Dragon God Divine Martial Soul. What kind of heaven-defying Martial Soul had he chosen instead?

Then, fresh writing slowly appeared in the diary...

[After giving up the Dragon God Divine Martial Soul, whose potential was limited, I ultimately chose another ultimate Martial Soul. Its name was: "Herrscher of Reason Divine Core."]

[In terms of grade, the "Herrscher of Reason Divine Core" and the Dragon God were both God King Level Martial Souls. Upon awakening, they allowed a Soul Master to possess Innate Level Fifty Soul Power...]

The female protagonists of Douluo: "How... how much? Level Fifty Soul Power???"

The moment those words appeared, all the female protagonists of the Douluo Plane froze, their countless stunning faces filled with utter disbelief!

Innate Level Fifty Soul Power?!

How was that possible? Wasn't the highest Innate Soul Power a Soul Master could start with Level Ten?!

Before the women could recover from their shock, the diary continued updating.

[On Douluo Continent, there had always only been the term Innate Full Soul Power, but in truth, it wasn't that simple.]

[Some truly powerful God-Level Martial Souls possessed Soul Power beyond Level Ten from birth.]

[For example, Qian Renxue's God-Level Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel. Because it was blessed by the Angel God's Divine Power through the Pope's bloodline, she possessed Innate Level Twenty Soul Power the moment her Martial Soul awakened.]

[There had only been one such case in tens of thousands of years. The value of that could not be questioned!]

[Yet this continent had never lacked geniuses. Looking across the myriad heavens and worlds, countless planes, and billions of cosmic dimensions, monstrous prodigies were as numerous as the stars, and there were innumerable protagonists favored by destiny!]

[Even though I held the system and possessed the foresight of one who knew what was to come, I still dared not claim to be a protagonist favored by destiny. I had to remain humble at all times.]

[A true master always carried the heart of an apprentice.]

[Take Qian Renxue. Her Innate Level Twenty Soul Power, God-Level Martial Soul talent, resources, influence, and background completely crushed Tang San in every aspect. She had even ascended to the Angel God's throne early on.]

[Yet in the end, she still lost to Tang San.]

[This precisely proved the simplest truth: talent was a gift bestowed by heaven, but one's future achievements still depended on later effort.]

[Thirty percent was destined by heaven, while seventy percent depended on hard work. Qian Renxue won at the starting line, yet lost in life experience...]

[She insisted on wasting her youth infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire, only breaking through to Soul Sage at twenty-nine.]

[In Soul Land I, I wouldn't argue if you called that talent. But in Soul Land II, III, or IV, it simply wasn't worth mentioning.]

[The key was that Qian Renxue's undercover mission was ultimately disrupted by Tang San and failed completely.]

[In the end, it still came down to the same thing: strength was supreme!]

[If Qian Renxue had abandoned political schemes and calculations, advanced to Title Douluo earlier, or even reached Limit Douluo sooner, the later tragedy would never have happened.]

Soul Land I Qian Renxue: "There was... a tragedy?"

Soul Land I Bo Saixi: "The Angel God, Qian Daoliu... Sigh, it was all fate."
