"First-level God..." Lei Chen's consciousness surged within the Plane Core, and a powerful confidence rose within him.
Once he attained a First-level Divine Position, then with the authority of the Plane Lord, dealing with Tang Hao and Ah Yin, those two Second-level Gods lingering on Douluo Continent, would be as easy as turning his hand. There would no longer be any suspense.
This imminent qualitative leap in strength meant that the audacious plan he and the Silver Dragon King had devised could finally be officially set into motion. Delaying any longer would only create more variables.
With that thought, Lei Chen no longer hesitated. Through the secret connection he had previously established with the Silver Dragon King, he immediately sent a thought into the underground space at the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest:
"Silver Dragon King, everything is ready on my end. At any moment, I can cause a disturbance great enough to alarm the Divine Realm. How are things on your end? When can you act?"
Within the underground space, the silver giant dragon opened her eyes. A sharp gleam flashed through her amethyst-like pupils as her enormous body stretched slightly. The spatial power circulating around her was more solid and active than it had been years ago. Clearly, she had not wasted this period of preparation.
"I have already grasped the trajectory of the Spacetime Turbulence. Based on its current speed and direction, if I forcibly guide it, I can greatly hasten its arrival."
"As for the Golden Dragon King... the seal is strong, but through our bloodline resonance, I can already faintly sense his violent will. With us working from both inside and outside, breaking the seal will not be difficult. It can be said that all is ready but the east wind. Are you certain you wish to begin now?"
"Certain!" Lei Chen's answer was utterly resolute. "I will immediately begin merging a demiplane. The commotion from this will definitely be no small matter and will inevitably alert the Divine Realm. That will be the best opportunity for you to act! While the Divine Realm focuses its attention on me, immediately guide the Spacetime Turbulence and provoke the Golden Dragon King into breaking his seal!"
The Silver Dragon King's massive head dipped slightly. She replied with only one word, yet it carried boundless determination and killing intent. "Good."
The alliance was set; no further words were needed. Lei Chen instantly withdrew the thought he had used to contact the Silver Dragon King and immersed all his focus into the Plane Core.
He glanced at Electrolux's remnant soul, which was being nourished by the Life Origin, and sent a soothing thought. "Lord Electrolux, please steady your mind. The fusion is about to begin. There may be tremors during the process, but they will not harm you."
Electrolux's remnant soul sent back a fluctuation indicating his understanding.
The next moment, Lei Chen mobilized the immense authority of the Plane Lord. The power of laws across all of Douluo Star began to tremble and gather on an unprecedented scale, like a tranquil sea suddenly heaving into towering waves!
This immense power did not spread without purpose. Under Lei Chen's precise guidance, it became like an invisible giant dragon, roaring toward the gray hexagram passage leading to the Undead Demiplane that Electrolux was maintaining!
Indeed, Electrolux was currently in poor condition, and the time he could maintain the passage was limited, but that was already enough.
As long as the passage successfully opened for even an instant and allowed Lei Chen's plane consciousness to anchor the coordinate of that demiplane, Lei Chen could rely on his own formidable plane power to maintain and widen the passage afterward.
"Boom—!"
Under the frenzied influx of plane power, the tiny passage that had originally only allowed consciousness to pass through was forcibly expanded and stabilized, transforming into a huge spatial vortex whose diameter continuously widened, violent arcs of energy flashing around its edges!
On the other side of the vortex, the desolate, deathly scene of the Undead Demiplane was clearly visible.
A black sun, dim purple daylight, pitch-black earth, wandering undead... all of it formed a stark and eerie contrast with the vibrant Douluo Plane.
Lei Chen did not hesitate in the slightest. Manipulating the vast power of the Plane Origin like a flood bursting through a dam, he poured it directly into the spatial vortex and began forcibly enveloping, eroding, and assimilating the laws of the Undead Demiplane!
Throughout this process, Lei Chen made no attempt to conceal the enormous energy fluctuations and spatial ripples it produced. The disturbance was so intense that even peak powerhouses on Douluo Continent, beings at the Limit Douluo level, vaguely felt their hearts tighten, as though something fundamental between heaven and earth was being shaken.
And how could such a massive disturbance possibly escape the notice of the Divine Realm, which hung high above the Douluo Plane and constantly watched the lower realm?
Divine Realm, Committee.
Tang San, who had been considering how to arrange Huo Yuhao next, suddenly frowned. His eyes, containing divine radiance, instantly pierced through layer upon layer of spatial barriers and fixed precisely on Douluo Star.
"Such violent spatial fluctuations and agitation in the Plane Origin... this is?!" Tang San's Divine Sense was incredibly sharp, and he judged the general situation almost instantly. "A foreign demiplane coordinate has been forcibly linked... Douluo Star's origin is actively devouring and merging with it?!"
This caused Tang San's pupils to contract slightly, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.
It was not uncommon in the universe for a plane to devour other planes in pursuit of advancement, but that was usually driven by a plane's instincts, and the process was slow and hidden.
An act of devouring as intense, proactive, and even clearly purposeful as this could never have been accomplished by an unconscious plane instinct!
"Plane Lord... Douluo Star's Plane Lord has actually developed a complete self-awareness?!" Tang San instantly reached the conclusion that made his mood sink sharply.
His arrangement for his parents and Soul Beast brothers to remain in the lower realm was certainly partly driven by selfish desires to let them live in seclusion and comfort. But his deeper purpose was to continuously stimulate the Douluo Plane with God-level auras, accelerating the circulation and convergence of its fortune, thereby giving rise to Huo Yuhao, the "child of fortune" he had chosen, so that he could control and "guide" him in the future.
Yet he had never imagined that this stimulation seemed to have gone a little too far. The plane's fortune had indeed begun to converge faster, but the plane itself had actually given birth, ahead of time and under his stimulation, to a consciousness beyond his control!
This was absolutely intolerable to him. The Douluo Plane was the private garden and personal territory in his plans. He would never allow anyone—not even a consciousness born from the plane itself—to interfere with his "arrangements" and "control" over the Douluo Plane!
Tang San narrowed his eyes, cold light flickering within them, and instantly made his decision. "A Plane Lord who has only just developed consciousness dares to so recklessly devour another plane and stir up such turmoil. It is courting death!"
"Since that is the case, I might as well erase this unstable consciousness before it fully matures! Let Father possess the Plane Lord and replace it as the new Plane Lord; Mother can merge with the Life Core. Then the Douluo Plane will completely become the private property of my Tang Clan, and there will be no more variables!"
Just as malicious intent arose in Tang San's heart, his killing intent chilling, and he prepared to mobilize the authority of the God Realm Committee to investigate the situation in the lower realm more thoroughly and begin arranging means of intervention, the Silver Dragon King made her move!
