As the closing words fell, a giant red hand grabbed the Abyssal Sage King. Just as he thought he was about to be killed too, he saw the giant red hand lift him up.
Then, as that giant red hand hoisted the Abyssal Sage King, another giant red hand appeared, aimed straight at his backside, and flicked him right back to the Abyss Plane.
After crashing headfirst into the ground of the Abyss, the Abyssal Sage King struggled a few times before pulling himself out and staring blankly at the arena, which was only a hundred kilometers across.
"The God of Games actually didn't kill me?"
Doubt rose in his heart. Wasn't the other party an orthodox deity of the Divine Realm? Why hadn't he killed him? After all, the Divine Realm existed to prevent planes like theirs from emerging. Or did the other party intend to keep him around to toy with slowly?
While the Abyssal Sage King pondered, Lin Huan ended the livestream, then turned his gaze toward Tang Hao's corpse and immediately swept his hand over it, his face expressionless.
All of Tang Hao's essence-his blood and flesh, divine power, and bones-turned into incomparably pure heavenly and earthly primal power. At the same time, a seven-colored divine seat appeared. It was none other than the divine seat of the Plane Master.
Lin Huan grasped this divine seat, thereby gaining authority over the entire Douluo Plane. Having taken control of that authority, he could also harvest the power of faith more conveniently.
He gave everyone hope, but the people of Douluo Star needed to take the initiative to strive for that hope themselves.
For six thousand years, the Abyss Plane had invaded the Douluo Plane, plunging countless lives into misery. The reason the Douluo Plane had suffered defeat after defeat was the Abyss's unique nature.
After Abyssal creatures were killed, all their energy returned to the Abyss Plane. At the same time, the vitality they devoured also nourished the Abyss Plane.
The Douluo Plane had no countermeasures and could only be worn down. Unless they killed the Abyssal Sage King, their Douluo Plane would face extinction sooner or later.
Now, however, the God of Games would give everyone a fair competitive arrangement. His existence served as a hub, and he would hold competitions one after another, allowing the people of the Douluo Continent to defeat the Abyss through competitive duels.
After all, this was the Competition Continent. Anything could be settled through competitions, and he could harvest the power of faith too. Why wouldn't he?
With that thought, Lin Huan turned into a streak of red light and flew into the Douluo Continent. The moment his feet touched the continent, the entire Douluo Continent began to split apart.
He wasn't trying to destroy the Douluo Continent, but to divide it by faction. Yes, divide it by faction, splitting it into zones. Other players would join later, so dividing it into zones was necessary. Otherwise, adding new players later would be difficult.
Rumble! At that moment, the Douluo Plane trembled, and another screen popped up before everyone's eyes.
[People of the Douluo Plane, do not panic. I am remodeling the Douluo Continent. This will not otherwise affect you.]
Everyone was still immersed in the battle between the two Plane Masters, and now they were somewhat dumbfounded as they looked at the screens before them.
While everyone was dumbfounded, Lin Huan spread both hands flat, and the entire Douluo Star immediately split into several pieces. Stars wheeled and shifted as it turned into several regions, and he sorted all the sections into place.
First came the large sections, divided by category. One category was humanity, and in an instant, numerous continents were laid out, floating in the cosmos.
At the same time, Lin Huan established normal, constant-temperature rules. Even with Douluo Star torn apart, nothing was affected. Temperature, gravity, and heavenly and earthly primal power all remained the same.
The Douluo Continent formed one large section, followed by the Dou Ling Continent section and the Star Luo Continent section. Lin Huan called these the Douluo Realm, the Dou Ling Realm, and the Star Luo Realm.
The three continents floated before him with portions of the sea. Next came Sea God Island, also known as Joy Island, along with most of the ocean.
Then came the sections inhabited by Soul Beasts: the Far North, a continent second only to the Douluo Continent in size, followed by the tiny section that was the Star Dou Great Forest.
He arranged six whole regions, then constructed teleportation gates and teleportation arrays to make travel between these continental sections convenient.
Remodeling Douluo Star was a massive undertaking. Such an enormous transformation could only be called earth-shattering to the natives of the Douluo Plane.
Casually manipulating a planet and tearing it apart-these were the methods of a true god! Everyone was shaken, as though their entire worldview had been overturned.
At the same time, many of humanity's higher-ups felt a sense of powerlessness. Was this the gulf between mortals and deities? It truly was terrifying beyond measure!
The entire world had undergone a complete change of face. Many people on Douluo Star could even see another continent floating in a distant region.
Just as Lin Huan continued pondering how to arrange the Douluo Plane, he suddenly heard babies crying.
The sound came so abruptly that he froze for a moment. Once he reacted, however, he whipped his head around and saw three babies crying in the Dragon Valley small world. He immediately set aside what he was doing to care for the children.
"Don't cry, babies! Daddy's coming to feed you!"
Lin Huan crossed countless light-years in a single step and instantly arrived in Dragon Valley. Dragon Valley was now under his control, as were the countless small worlds attached to the Douluo Plane, and everything within them had fallen into his hands as well.
They would serve nicely as stages to clear and rewards to give others. He came before his three daughters and infused divine power into their bodies. In an instant, the three girls felt their hunger fade.
Only under Lin Huan's soothing did the three little ones stop crying. Each looked around curiously, their eyes filled with curiosity toward everything around them.
"So cute."
Lin Huan picked up the white-haired, purple-eyed baby girl and stroked her head. The little girl nestled obediently in his arms. It felt wonderful.
He played with his three daughters, and just like that, six years passed. Lin Huan sat at the computer screen, which displayed a game resembling a little god game.
In the starry sky on the computer, many little continents shone: the Douluo Realm, Dou Ling Realm, Joy Realm, Star Luo Realm, Star Dou Zone, Far North Realm, and Abyss Realm-seven sections in all.
Lin Huan clicked on the Douluo Realm. It was further divided into numerous factions: Shrek, the Federation, the Spirit Pagoda, the War God Temple, the Tang Sect, and the Holy Spirit Cult.
Over six years, he had finished establishing the entire order. Meanwhile, seeing that the God of Games had made no move for six years, the living beings of the Douluo Continent had long since returned to their former lives.
Although a deity had appeared in the Douluo Plane, their lives still had to go on, so they stopped paying it any mind.
The many human higher-ups had also gone from being unable to sit or stand at ease to their present calm. They discovered that this God of Games wasn't some sort of evil god and hadn't committed acts such as slaughtering humanity, so they simply carried on as usual.
Over in the Star Dou Great Forest, despite the enormous changes to the Douluo Plane, that silver arowana slept as soundly as the husbands in those videos and hadn't even woken up. Even Lin Huan couldn't help marveling. As expected of a silver arowana-she really could sleep.
While he fiddled with the computer, several tiny figures sneaked into Lin Huan's room to steal his chips.
"Lin Xiaozi! You're stealing my snacks again!"
Noticing the crunch of chips, he whipped his head around and saw a white-haired, purple-eyed little girl stealing his chips.
After being discovered, the little girl called Lin Xiaozi immediately whipped out a black plastic bag with lightning-fast hands, swept a third of the snacks on the table into it, and ran.
"Xiaozi!"
Lin Huan immediately stood and chased after her. The little girl ran incredibly fast, her short legs spinning like Wind Fire Wheels. She ran so fast that even he almost couldn't catch her.
After the two left, another two little heads poked around the doorway. One belonged to a little girl with emerald-green hair, the other to a little girl with red hair.
The two little girls looked left and right. After confirming that the pair had left, they immediately rushed into the room and swept through the snacks on the table. Soon, every snack on the table had been swept into plastic bags, and the two returned fully laden.
Of course, Lin Huan was a peak First-Level God, at the very ceiling of the Divine Realm's First-Level Gods, the sort who was invincible beneath God Kings. How could three children possibly run circles around him?
He mainly wanted to give the children a little emotional gratification. Snacks stolen from their old father through their own efforts tasted better.
Soon, Lin Huan returned carrying the white-haired little girl. The moment he entered, he saw the completely empty table and sighed helplessly.
"Daughter, you can't eat these snacks as meals."
"What are you talking about, Dad? Xiaozi doesn't know!"
Faced with Lin Huan's questioning, Lin Xiaozi simply shook her head, looking as though she knew nothing and was a perfectly good baby.
Lin Huan now had three daughters: Lin Xiaozi, Lin Xiaolü, and Lin Jia Lin.
His eldest daughter was this very Lin Xiaozi, the most mischievous and lively of them, who knew nothing but causing trouble every day. His second daughter, Lin Xiaolü, was gentle, accomplished, and very sensible, but Lin Xiaozi could lead her astray. She was a little tagalong.
Lin Jia Lin was a little more impish. The four of them had formed a family and lived here in Dragon Valley.
"Forget it. Just this once. Your dad has something to do outside today, so you'll be eating premade meals."
Lin Huan set down the little girl in his arms, then stretched. By his reckoning, it should almost be time for Tang Wulin to awaken his Martial Soul.
His own daughters were a little younger than Tang Wulin, so they would have to wait a few more days before awakening their Martial Souls. Meanwhile, the premade meals Lin Huan mentioned were also food he conjured with divine power. Since he had prepared them in advance, he called them premade meals.
"Oh, got it. Remember to come home early, then, and remember to buy me ice cream!"
"In your dreams. You took so many of my snacks, and you still want more?"
Lin Huan waved, said goodbye to his daughters, and walked out of the house. Just as he left, something major happened in the Star Dou Zone.
The Silver Dragon King awoke. Looking at the lone Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest that remained, she immediately flew into a rage.
Seeing his lord awaken, Di Tian believed the time had come for their Soul Beasts to counterattack, and wild joy covered his face. Yet his lord suddenly displayed earth-shattering wisdom and came up with some sort of plan to destroy humanity.
As she spoke, she transformed into a silver-haired, purple-eyed little girl, tore open space, and slipped inside.
This sequence of actions left Di Tian completely dumbfounded. What was that? A plan to destroy humanity? She had to understand them first and infiltrate the human world?
And so, Di Tian watched helplessly as his lord entered the spatial passage. Then the passage collapsed, seemingly because establishing a passage across planes had made it unstable.
"My lord!"
Di Tian could only watch the spatial passage collapse, then watch helplessly as spatial turbulence swept his lord away.
Since the Star Dou Great Forest was now an independent small realm, the Silver Dragon King had to cross an entire plane to establish a spatial passage. Combined with her sealed strength, this left her unable to sustain the passage. It collapsed, sweeping her inside.
This legendary giveaway dragon, who had given herself away within the first three chapters, finally fulfilled her mission and began her journey of giving herself away.
In the cosmos, a hammock fixed in space drifted there. Lin Huan lay on it, having also witnessed the Silver Dragon King's entire series of suffocating moves.
"Tsk. With the Soul Beast Clan's ancestor acting like this, it would defy all heavenly reason if the Soul Beast Clan didn't go under."
He couldn't help clicking his tongue. Speaking of which, wasn't the Silver Dragon King curious about the Douluo Plane now being divided into several realms? Forget it, forget it. I don't understand earth-shattering wisdom anyway. Still, he rather liked a little girl like Na'er.
After all, who wouldn't want an obedient, adorable daughter? Once Gu Yue split off, Na'er could come with him.
Several thoughts flashed through Lin Huan's mind. He wanted the power of faith, while Gu Yue wanted to destroy humanity, so naturally, he needed to cause her some trouble. Once he weakened her power, wouldn't little Gu Yue be his to handle as he pleased?
Of course, even Gu Yuena at her full, peak strength was no match for him. Here, his strength stood in first place by an overwhelming margin.
Even if the Sea God's divine sense, the Silver Dragon King, and the nearby Crimson Plane joined forces, they would still be no match for him. He merely wanted to take in a daughter. Since he was already this strong, couldn't he do whatever he wanted? The silver arowana, for instance.
Soon, space split open beside Lin Huan, and a silver-haired little girl flew out, landing unconscious in his arms.
Lin Huan chuckled softly as he looked at the small, silver-haired figure unconscious in his arms, then continued drifting toward the Douluo Realm.
As he drifted, Lin Huan did something: he pulled a USB drive from his trouser pocket and inserted it into Na'er's body.
Soon, various pieces of information appeared: [Silver Dragon King bloodline] [power of creation] [Creation Divine Core] [Silver Dragon Spear].
This was his Martial Soul. His Martial Soul was called the Creative Workshop, and its function was to obtain various entries from other people, such as the four entries on the Silver Dragon King.
He could use the Creative Workshop to make many things, such as Minecraft, ninjutsu, Stand users, or cursed techniques. Of course, all of this depended on his own strength.
As for how he obtained them? Naturally, he knocked others unconscious, then forcefully inserted the USB drive into their bodies to copy those entries. His Martial Soul held infinite possibilities, but its upper limit depended on him.
For example, Minecraft's milk could remove all negative status effects. If a negative status effect was at God King level, however, he could only weaken it because Lin Huan wasn't strong enough.
If he broke through to God King, he would be able to remove God King-level negative status effects.
