With the nine God Kings gathered and each possessing a super divine weapon, the God Realm Committee, which would determine the fate of the God Realm, convened once again!
But this time, the meeting consisted of only a single statement:
"Our God Realm has a massive capacity, a large number of gods, and incredibly vast energy. Therefore, we will now perform a certain degree of compression on the God Realm. In addition, because the God Realm will experience turbulence, every god and living being, including the divine beasts in the Forbidden Land of the Gods and the families of the sinful gods, will all enter into the God Realm's core."
"Seconded!"
"Agreed!"
"..."
Unsurprisingly, Chen Junting's proposal was passed unanimously.
Next, it was time to begin.
All living beings of the Douluo God Realm were relocated into the God Realm's core. In addition, the four God Kings—Ning Tian, Electrolux, Gu Tianchen, and Huo Yuhao—took control of the small God Realms that were to collide with the Douluo God Realm, managing their respective God Realm cores.
At this point, everything entered a countdown.
One day later
God Realm Committee.
At this moment, the entire Douluo God Realm was filled with a strange silence; not a single trace of life could be felt anymore.
Only in the God Realm Committee, the nine God Kings sat cross-legged around the Douluo God Realm's core, each sitting there holding their breath and focusing their minds, adjusting their states.
At this moment, including the Douluo God Realm, all five God Realms were significantly smaller than before. The four small God Realms had shrunk by two full circles, and the Douluo God Realm had shrunk by half a circle. Their divine power was contained within, waiting for the impending moment of collision.
The power of destiny surged, and Chen Junting was the first to open his eyes.
"The time has come."
As he finished speaking, the other eight God Kings closely followed.
"Make your move!" Chen Junting shouted fiercely!
The five God Kings with connected auras—Order, Destruction, Life, Kindness, and Evil—suddenly stepped forward into the inner circle. They each extended a palm and pressed it onto the Douluo God Realm's core. Instantly, the previously dormant God Realm's core burst with brilliant light, and a peerless divine power violently spewed out from within the core.
Inside the Douluo God Realm, whether it was the singing of birds and fragrance of flowers, or the pastoral cottages, whether it was the wreathing immortal clouds or the clear springs and streams, all of it shook in this instant. The entire God Realm, accompanied by the massive divine power from the God Realm's core, began to present a scene of contained divine power. All the divine power that made up the God Realm began to constantly pour and flow towards the direction of the God Realm's core.
Seeing this, Ning Tian and the others hurriedly controlled the four great God Realms, shooting towards the Douluo God Realm from the same direction at the same time.
No one dared to be negligent, especially Chen Junting and the other four God Kings who were controlling the Douluo God Realm's core. Because the Douluo God Realm was the foundation, and as the party being collided with, even though its volume was extremely large and the other four God Realms were very small with little risk, it still allowed for not the slightest carelessness.
After all, no matter how small those four God Realms were, and no matter how small the risk was, a collision was ultimately still an adventurous act.
At this moment, the one controlling the Douluo God Realm's core was primarily Chen Junting, assisted by the other four God Kings. Therefore, Chen Junting was already in a state of total concentration, controlling the effective contraction of the Douluo God Realm. The smaller the contracted volume, the greater the mass of the God Realm, and the better it could endure when bearing the impact.
The four great God Realms at this moment were constantly accelerating, and accelerating again. Gradually, they seemed to turn into meteors, carrying a magnificent momentum as they shot towards the nearby position of the Douluo God Realm!
"Get ready, the collision is about to begin!"
Prompted by the power of destiny, Chen Junting immediately issued a warning.
Hearing his reminder, the divine senses of all the God Kings were elevated to the extreme in an instant. Chen Junting even entered the "Sword God Selfless" state, making judgments in the most rational condition possible.
Behind him, the Sword of Order and the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation had already floated out, and the Divine Armor of Order was also equipped. While fully armed, he pressed his palms against the God Realm's core.
The God of Destruction and the others also extended their second palms at the same time. Ten hands pressed onto the Douluo God Realm's core, and similarly, they enveloped themselves with their respective super divine weapons. However, behind Ning Tian's head, in addition to the Red Embroidered Ball and the Crimson Scepter, Chen Junting also moved the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation behind her head to envelop her.
In the next instant after doing all this, suddenly, the light emitted by the God Realm's core itself became even stronger. The entire Douluo God Realm also began to experience landslides and earth fissures, and the contraction accelerated!
The further contraction now caused the immortal spirit energy to begin liquefying, and even the territory of the Douluo God Realm was destroyed. Everything formed by divine power was constantly transformed into divine power during the process of contraction, enhancing the strength of the Douluo God Realm.
Seeing this, Ning Tian also split off a trace of her attention.
In the next second, magnificent nine-colored light bloomed, and the phantom of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda faintly appeared, causing colorful light to bloom from it.
When the nine beams of light descended upon everyone including herself, the halos behind everyone's heads all became stronger. Judging from the change in light, the amplification was nearly two and a half times.
This move directly invigorated the nine God Kings!
Just one second after the amplification was completed, the collision finally arrived, and the terrifying impact reached almost in the next instant!
Four God Realms, four meteors, at the same time, from different directions, simultaneously crashed into the Douluo God Realm.
Rumble!
An indescribable sound erupted in an instant!
The four small God Realms shattered on the spot. Although the Douluo God Realm did not completely shatter, all the buildings and everything that grew were completely destroyed. From the outside in, a full half of the territory also directly shattered, merging with the fragments of the four small God Realms.
At the moment the collision arrived, whether in the inner or outer circle, all nine God Kings felt their auditory and visual abilities drastically drop, and their minds couldn't help but fall into a trance. However, their divine power continued to output outward without the slightest reservation.
That terrifying great collision could no longer be described as heart-rending; it was a feeling of an explosion reaching its absolute extreme.
Ning Tian, protected by three super divine weapons, was the first to snap back to her senses. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagasm shed golden light, granting the nine God Kings, including herself, an invincible state, allowing everyone who was suffering the backlash from the God Realm's shattering to briefly recover. And within a short period of time, they were in the best possible state.
Hum—
Just then, an unprecedented hum sounded.
The awake Chen Junting hastily scanned the entire God Realm with his divine sense. He soon shockingly discovered that the area surrounding the not-yet-shattered God Realm was a blank void, with only white light existing.
The physical entities of those four small God Realms had completely disappeared. Even their God Realm cores were temporarily invisible; all that remained was the dimly lit Douluo God Realm's core in front of them.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao and the other three almost simultaneously released their divine power, guiding the God Realm cores they managed to come over.
Chen Junting and the other four didn't idle either, hurrying to inject their remaining divine power into the God Realm's core to maintain the central position of the Douluo God Realm's core. Among the five, the God of Destruction was the most impatient, hastily using his divine sense to search for the target of this collision.
"Found it!"
In just a single breath, the God of Destruction let out a cry of pleasant surprise.
Because within the vast white world around them, a lot of massive energy was floating freely. This energy was so pure that even at the God Realm's core level, it couldn't be directly absorbed. Yet, it could be stored—this was shockingly the power of Chaos!
Discovering that the power of Chaos could indeed appear under this great creation of a great collision, Chen Junting and the others naturally joined forces without hesitation, drawing this power of Chaos into the God Realm's core.
At the same time, Ning Tian and the others also牵引 the God Realm cores of the four small God Realms, hurrying to mobilize their super divine weapons, using divine power to entwine and press them tightly against the Douluo God Realm's core.
Hum—
Instantly, the Douluo God Realm's core let out a hum. Its originally hard surface smudged out as if melting, and the halo spread, completely opening up. For a time, the five God Realm cores mutually attracted and absorbed each other. Before long, the five spheres of light began to fuse towards a single core.
The five clusters of light gradually converged, and because they had all been rendered by the Douluo God Realm's rules, there was no rejection between them, and the entire fusion process was very smooth. Moreover, influenced by the previously absorbed power of Chaos, their consumed divine power was fully replenished, and at the same time, sublimated!
Soon, the five God Realm cores turned into a multicolored sphere of light, with radiance overlapping, beginning to constantly sublimate and transform.
At this moment, Chen Junting and the other nine God Kings could clearly feel that the energy fluctuations within this God Realm's core, which had just begun to fuse, were skyrocketing like a gusher.
God Realm fusion was a geometric growth!
Coupled with the sublimation of the power of Chaos...
The future was bright!
The light of the God Realm's core spread. Not knowing how much time had passed, the light of the God Realm's fusion stretched for who knows how many tens of thousands of miles, even surpassing the light of all the stars in sight.
And accompanying the expansion of the light, the cosmic energy within the range was being crazily absorbed by them, enveloping the surrounding galaxies.
As long as a galaxy did not have a God Realm governing it, everything would be brought under the management of the Douluo God Realm, receiving its protection.
At this moment, the absorbed power of Chaos had become the Douluo God Realm's core energy and the foundation of the God Realm's core.
During this process, Chen Junting and the others also received feedback from the God Realm, feeling their own sublimation amidst such massive energy. Every one of them was subtly improving; this was both an improvement in divine power itself and an elevation in level.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, flashing with a faint golden halo, the sublimated Douluo God Realm's core appeared.
That light, which stretched for who knows how many tens of thousands of miles, actually gathered all together at the speed of light the instant it took shape.
In the next instant, all the brilliance disappeared, leaving only a brilliant gold, jujube pit-shaped God Realm's core suspended in mid-air.
The newly reborn Douluo God Realm's core was not particularly huge in volume, about three meters in height, and its thickest part was only a little over a meter in diameter. Moreover, a faint white halo surrounded the golden main body, and the terrifying divine power contained within it appeared even more unfathomable.
Upon realizing this result, smiles could not help but appear on the faces of Chen Junting and the other nine God Kings.
"Although we took a bit of a risk, the results are extraordinary."
"Yes, it was all worth it!"
"Looking at it this way, this method of fusing God Realms yields much greater returns than devouring a God Realm and its core."
"That's true..."
After relaxing, the taut nerves of Huo Yuhao and the others loosened, and they each began to converse. It wasn't until Chen Junting and the God of Destruction finished inspecting the power of Chaos that they gradually stopped.
"This much power of Chaos is quite a lot."
"Indeed, it's quite a lot."
The God of Destruction sighed with emotion, "But I've seen more."
Hearing the meaning behind his words, Chen Junting smiled and shook his head.
"It's time to take a break; going too far is as bad as not going far enough."
The corners of the God of Destruction's mouth twitched slightly, returning a smile.
"I didn't say to continue right now. Hahaha—"
"You guy, hahaha—"
Amidst the surging laughter, the current Douluo God Realm's core was at an unknowably higher level than before. With its existence, the light of all the surrounding stars almost completely dimmed.
What was even more terrifying was that as long as the God Kings' thoughts passed through it, they could even sense the massive space beyond the galaxy they were currently in. And this God Realm's core was devouring all the cosmic energy within its perception range to replenish itself.
Without a doubt, with a God Realm's core of such profound foundation acting as the core of the Douluo God Realm, the future of the Douluo God Realm was boundless, and it truly had the genuine confidence to evolve into a God Star!
However, although the Douluo God Realm's core had welcomed a new life and the most important step could be said to be completed, there was still one final step left, which was to restore the God Realm's land.
Under the watchful eyes of the other eight God Kings, Chen Junting, who wielded the God Realm's core, took it upon himself without hesitation. Step by step through the void, he walked towards the brand-new God Realm's core and directly pressed his palm upon it. The moment he touched it, Chen Junting's entire body jolted!
When he touched this God Realm's core, the first feeling was purity—an unparalleled purity.
The unfathomable divine power had not the slightest impurity, like a blank sheet of paper. The imprints of all their God Kings from before had already become very faint within this God Realm's core. And the instant his palm pressed down, Chen Junting felt as if all his divine sense was instantly sucked inside. Immediately after, his divine sense seemed to experience a thousand years in an instant, traveling throughout the entire God Realm's core, once again completing the verification of his identity.
Chen Junting finished, and the other eight God Kings closely followed.
After all identities were input and verified...
Boom, boom, boom—
Led by Chen Junting, the auras of the nine gods soared to the heavens!
The moment the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and the Sword of Order merged into one, a divine sword that seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth was born across the sky!
Immediately after, the other eight super divine weapons also appeared one by one.
Scepter of Destruction;
Tree of Life;
Scales of Judgment;
Heart of Kindness;
Tower of Eternity;
Wings of Space;
Armor of Emotions;
Destined Three Lives (Red Embroidered Ball).
