Starting as Plane Lord

Lei Chen was in a very bad mood lately because his body had a few extra "massive" foreign objects.

Through the perspective of the plane, he watched that pair of leisurely couples wandering in a scenic spot, and that pair of brothers drinking heartily on a steep mountain peak. Lei Chen was completely dumbfounded, and he had something on his mind that he simply had to spit out.

Tang San! I screw your ancestors!

I remember that deities of the Divine Realm are not allowed to descend to the lower realm casually, right? That bastard Tang San, after becoming an enforcer of the Divine Realm, actually knowingly broke the law and openly violated the rules of the Divine Realm, allowing his parents—who possessed a Second-level Divine Seat—and his soul beast brother, who served as a divine official, to linger in the lower realm for long periods. He even prettily called it seclusion. This could fly too?

Those few fellows were having a great time in seclusion here, but Lei Chen was suffering.

As a transmigrator, and he had no idea how it happened, Lei Chen had inexplicably crossed over to Douluo Continent after just taking a nap, and he directly became the Plane Lord of Douluo Star.

Logically speaking, transmigrating to become a Plane Lord should be a good thing. After all, given the energy intensity of Douluo Star, the status of its Plane Lord was equivalent to a Second-level God. Starting out as a Second-level God, wasn't this much better than initially transmigrating into some kid who hadn't even awakened their martial soul?

However, the days of Lei Chen, this Plane Lord, were not nearly as comfortable as he had imagined. With no other choice, who told him to have a Divine Realm hanging over his head, and a God King within that Divine Realm who was constantly plotting against his plane?

Because God King Tang San had originally ascended to the Divine Realm from Douluo Continent, in his heart, the Douluo plane was naturally his back garden and private land; he did not allow anything exceeding his control to happen on the Douluo plane.

For this reason, Tang San even left his parents and soul beast brothers in Douluo Continent. Under these circumstances, it would be a miracle if Lei Chen, acting as the Plane Lord, could have an easy time.

Actually, to Lei Chen, Tang San's two soul beast brothers—Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape—didn't amount to much. After all, these two were merely lowest-tier divine officials. As long as Lei Chen wanted to, dealing with them would be as easy as turning over his hand. But Tang San's parents were a genuine threat to Lei Chen.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin were the real deal as Second-level Gods, matching Lei Chen the Plane Lord in status. In the original work, they later even became the Plane Lord and Life Core of Douluo Star with Tang San's help.

So the question arose: if Tang Hao was allowed to become the Plane Lord of Douluo Star, what would happen to Lei Chen? What kind of end could he expect? He knew without thinking that his consciousness would be completely wiped out, leaving him with only a dead end.

Under the threat of genuine death, Lei Chen inevitably developed a sense of urgency. No matter what, he absolutely could not sit and wait for death. He had to think of a way to solve this problem and ensure his own safety.

And if he wanted to resolve the threats he faced, in Lei Chen's view, two things had to be done: first, completely sever the Divine Realm's interference with the Douluo plane; second, strengthen the Douluo plane itself as much as possible.

The first point went without saying. With a God King like Tang San who treated the Douluo plane as his personal back garden, if Lei Chen didn't find a way to completely sever the Divine Realm's interference with him, then all his plans would be empty talk. Therefore, this was something he had to do. As for how to achieve it, in Lei Chen's view, it wasn't actually that difficult.

After all, in the original work, the later Divine Realm was swept away by Spacetime Turbulence. Lei Chen only needed to find a way to make the Spacetime Turbulence arrive slightly earlier, and he could make the Divine Realm roll away ahead of time, thereby completely cutting off the Divine Realm's interference.

As for the second point, this was somewhat troublesome, because wanting to strengthen the Douluo plane itself was no easy task.

The Douluo plane in the original work successfully promoted to a Demigod Realm only after devouring the Abyss Plane, but right now the Abyss Plane was still hiding in who knew which corner. Even if Lei Chen wanted to devour it, he couldn't find it, and even if he found it, he didn't have the strength to devour it. So this method was definitely unworkable in the short term.

Since this method didn't work, taking a different path was the answer. Lei Chen could completely reference or borrow the method the Divine Realm used to grow itself.

The Divine Realm's method of self-growth was actually very simple. When new gods appeared among its subordinate planes who could create their own divine seats through sufficient Faith Power, the Divine Realm only needed to absorb these new gods and integrate their self-created divine seats into the Divine Realm. Thus, the volume of the Divine Realm naturally expanded.

Since the Divine Realm could expand itself through such a method, then their Douluo plane could certainly do the same. As long as a few geniuses who created their own divine seats appeared in the Douluo plane, and then they integrated their self-created divine seats into the Douluo plane instead of the Divine Realm, the plane level of the Douluo plane could also rise accordingly, gradually marching toward a Demigod Realm.

It was just that this method was not very easy either. Looking across the hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of history of the Douluo plane, geniuses capable of creating their own divine seats were few and far between. If he truly relied on this method to make the Douluo plane ascend, he would have to wait until the Year of the Donkey.

Fortunately, although creating a divine seat from scratch was difficult, recasting a divine seat on an existing foundation wasn't that hard.

During the long years the Douluo plane had existed, some deities had fallen here for various reasons, and their divine seats had shattered here as well.

As long as Lei Chen found those divine seats shattered within his own plane, figured out a way to recast them, and then integrated these recast divine seats into his own plane, he could propel the plane's ascension.

This method was not only relatively simple, but also possessed extremely high operational feasibility. Therefore, once he had this idea, Lei Chen took action immediately. Through the perspective of the Plane Lord, he quickly pinpointed those divine seats shattered within his "body".

Thunder God, Ice God, God of Angels, God of Love... Goodness, these are all First-level Divine Positions.

You must know that even within the Divine Realm, there were only eighteen First-level Gods, yet his Douluo plane had four. Even as shattered divine seats, this was astonishing enough.

Four First-level Divine Positions... Let me think, how should these divine seats be recast? Or rather, who should be entrusted to recast them...

First is the Ice Seat; there is no need to hesitate about this at all. Leave it to Snow Empress to recast.

She is a life form condensed from the purest ice-attribute heaven and earth elemental energy, naturally fitting the Ice Seat. Moreover, she is the ruler of the Far North Land, making it much easier to gather the Faith Power there. If she does it, it only requires a little bit of guidance, and there is basically no difficulty.

Then comes the Angel Godhood; this doesn't need to be worried about either. Just leave it directly to Qian Renxue's descendants to accomplish. Although Qian Renxue shattered her own divine seat, she at least left the Angel Holy Sword on Douluo Continent. With this divine artifact as a carrier, recasting the Angel Godhood won't be difficult.
