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

[The Dragon God was great, but its upper limit had already been locked. A 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!]

Douluo III Gu Yuena: "..."

[That wasn't entirely correct. 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...]

Douluo III Gu Yuena: "A warrior may be killed but not humiliated! Qin Moyu, just you wait!!!"

When Gu Yuena saw this, her expression instantly darkened, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

As the Silver Dragon King, an incarnation born from the Dragon God's benevolent essence, she yearned incomparably 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 minor world. He was even being considered as stew to nourish the body!

Gu Yuena clenched her delicate fists and gritted her silver teeth, overcome with both shame and fury.

No lady would be worthy of the name if she did not avenge this grievance!

[The Douluo Plane's level isn't high. Even the Douluo God Realm, with its deepest foundations, can at most be considered a minor cosmos—perhaps not even that!]

[Take Battle Through the Heavens for comparison. A Titled Douluo's strength on the Dou Qi Continent would roughly equal that of a Dou Wang or Dou Emperor expert.]

[Dou Wangs on the Dou Qi Continent can form wings from dou qi and soar through the skies. Titled Douluos on Douluo Continent, unless they possess flight-type Martial Souls, basically can't fly for extended periods.]

[In Battle Through the Heavens, Dou Di are the strongest beings. Such experts can control the origin of space with their bare hands, overturn heaven and earth with a thought, and erase tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers with a flick of the finger. Its power system utterly crushes Douluo Continent, even the Douluo God Realm.]

[The Great Thousand World of The Great Ruler is the ascension plane of Battle Through the Heavens. Between them still lie the dimensional barriers of medium worlds and minor worlds!]

[The comparison makes things very clear. If one chose the Dragon God Martial Soul and went to a high-dimensional cosmos like The Great Ruler, the Dragon God would only be fit to serve as food. It wouldn't even qualify to be someone's guard dog.]

[Dear little Dragon God, in consideration of how difficult your cultivation has been, please enter my pot and sleep for a while...]

The Douluo women: "..."

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

Was this what it meant that there were always greater people beyond people, and greater heavens beyond heaven?

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, its dense vitality shrouding 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 have guarded was only at such a level?" the Goddess of Life murmured softly.

She stood beside the spiritual spring, gazing at the truth about planar levels revealed in the diary. Her clear eyes were full of emotion.

Perhaps the God Realm truly should expand...

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

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

The Goddess of Life only wished for the God Realm to develop steadily and had always been unwilling to initiate expansion wars.

Yet Qin Moyu's analysis of planar levels had allowed her to see just how insignificant the Douluo God Realm truly was.

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 inclined toward slaughter, so her decision to support Sea God Tang San was perfectly reasonable.

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 her married life had gone unsatisfied, leading to ideological differences between the two God Kings?

They said that when husband and wife argued, they quarreled at the head of the bed and reconciled at the foot. But destruction and life did not even have the chance to touch each other. With their needs left unmet for so long, it was only inevitable that their beliefs would diverge...

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

Nor did it mean that because the Goddess of Life openly supported Sea God Tang San in the God Realm Committee and opposed her husband, the Destruction God King, one could unilaterally conclude that some unknown transaction existed between the Goddess of Life and 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 from a higher dimension, Qin Moyu, possessed horizons and knowledge far beyond all living beings in this world.

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

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

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

[In terms of rank, the "Herrscher of Reason Divine Core" and the Dragon God are both God King-class Martial Souls. Upon awakening, they can grant a Soul Master Innate Level Fifty Soul Power...]

The Douluo heroines: "How... how much? Level Fifty Soul Power???"

The moment these words appeared, all the heroines of the Douluo Plane froze, their countless beautiful faces filled with utter disbelief!

Innate Level Fifty Soul Power?!

How was that possible? Wasn't the highest starting Innate Soul Power for a Soul Master only Level Ten?!

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

[On Douluo Continent, there has always only been the term Innate Full Soul Power, but in truth, things are not that simple.]

[Some truly powerful god-level Martial Souls possess Soul Power beyond Level Ten from birth.]

[For example, Qian Renxue's god-level Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was empowered by the Angel God's divine power passed down through the Pope's lineage. When her Martial Soul awakened, she already possessed Innate Level Twenty Soul Power.]

[There has only been one such case in tens of thousands of years. Its value needs no explanation!]

[However, this continent has never lacked geniuses. Looking across the myriad heavens and worlds, countless planes, and billions of cosmic dimensions, monstrous prodigies are as numerous as the stars, and chosen protagonists are beyond count!]

[Even with the system in my hands and the perspective of foresight, I would not dare call myself a chosen protagonist. I must always maintain a humble heart.]

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

[Take Qian Renxue. Innate Level Twenty Soul Power, a god-level Martial Soul, talent, resources, influence, background—she crushed Tang San in every aspect and ascended to the Angel God's divine throne early on.]

[Yet she still ultimately lost to Tang San.]

[This precisely proves the simplest truth: talent is a gift from heaven, but one's future achievements still depend on later effort.]

[Thirty percent is destined by heaven, seventy percent depends 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 and only broke through to Soul Sage at twenty-nine.]

[In Douluo I, I wouldn't argue if you called that talent. But in Douluo 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 directly failed.]

[At the end of the day, it still comes down to one thing: strength above all!]

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

Douluo I Qian Renxue: "There was... a tragedy?"

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