"Let's begin."
Hearing these words, the gods, whose minds were linked, acted one after another.
The God of Destruction, without a second word, mobilized all his divine power. As his body gradually turned purple, a strong bolt of lightning suddenly flashed. He raised the Scepter of Destruction high, pouring in divine power with all his might, and began to constantly condense the Divine Lightning of Destruction.
Subsequently, countless purple lightning bolts appeared and swirled around this banner, and their might grew stronger and stronger. A moment later, after the divine lightning's power had accumulated to an extreme, the God of Destruction swung the Scepter of Destruction down, controlling the Divine Lightning of Destruction to fiercely slash at the shattered God Realm earth. Rumble—
Tens of thousands of divine lightning bolts, each as thick as a fist and containing incomparably powerful destructive force, poured down like a celestial river, fiercely watering the broken land of the God Realm.
Upon encountering the torrential downpour of Divine Lightning of Destruction, the energy of the entire God Realm immediately began to churn violently. Not only that, but earth-shattering explosions echoed continuously, and the already shattered earth completely cracked and gradually disintegrated.
Everything—all of it—apart from the envelopment of the God Realm's barrier, was reduced to nothingness under the God of Destruction's full eruption. The power of destruction had completely filled the God Realm, turning everything into nothingness and leaving the interior of the barrier filled with nothing but dense mist, with nothing else remaining.
As the God of Destruction finished, Chen Junting, holding his divine sword high, swung out with a strike. At the same time, a sound akin to the splitting of heaven and earth suddenly exploded, and the entire God Realm's barrier thoroughly trembled at this moment!
Crack—
One sword strike swung out, cleaving through the mist.
Within the Bone Dragon's pupils, the Wings of Space, carrying spatial energy, crashed against the God Realm's barrier. Just as the seemingly precarious God Realm's barrier stabilized, within the entire God Realm at this moment, following that earth-shattering roar, the misty energy began to shatter, rapidly decomposing under Chen Junting's mobilization.
Earth, water, fire, wind—
The four great elements shockingly appeared one after another!
To prevent the four great elements from being assimilated or returning to unity as pure energy, Chen Junting's hands didn't pause for a moment.
The divine sword instantly split into two!
The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation enveloped them, locking down the earth, water, fire, and wind.
On the premise of not letting them merge into one, the Sword of Order struck out again and again, causing the energy to crazily transform.
At the same time, Ning Tian, Huo Yuhao, the God of Kindness, and the God of Evil also immediately took action. After the God Realm's territory welcomed its great annihilation, they were to recreate this land, giving the gods a place to reside. And the four great elements of earth, water, fire, and wind were the fundamental foundation for building the gods' dwelling.
If they simply let these energies evolve on their own, let alone when it would be done, whether it would even succeed was another matter entirely.
Thus...
Ning Tian fiercely threw out the Red Embroidered Ball. The spinning super divine weapon was like a cosmic celestial body, its contained divine power like drawing gravity, instantly mobilizing the element of earth.
Although, as the Goddess of Love, she didn't possess the advantages of an Earth God, as a God King, achieving this step was more than sufficient.
The moment the element of earth was completely gathered, the entire Red Embroidered Ball spun in the void like a yellow-brown planet.
Immediately after, this yellow-brown "planet," centered on the super divine weapon, spewed endless viscous yellow-brown gas—that is, earth element energy—downwards under Ning Tian's mobilization.
After these elemental energies fell below, they began to rapidly entangle with each other, forming a large yellow-brown net that completely covered the entire lower region of the God Realm. And under Ning Tian's continuous infusion, the so-called large net began to become increasingly dense, gradually transforming from gas to solid.
Endless earth element energy condensed, turning into solids like rock and soil. The net gradually disappeared, its "threads" turning into raised mountain ranges, and the nodes of the "threads" turning into towering peaks.
By the time the earth element energy on the surface of the Red Embroidered Ball was completely consumed, the area below the dome had already been entirely occupied by a whole stretch of earth. Looking around, the so-called protrusions and depressions were irregular, a barren expanse devoid of life, with only soil and rock.
And when Ning Tian finished, ten golden rings suddenly enveloped the sky above the dome. Because ice and water were of the same family, the water element energy that filled the air, under Huo Yuhao's control, all poured into the ten golden rings, like a heavenly waterspout reaching straight into the nine heavens.
Then, with a thought, one-tenth of the water energy was directly intercepted. Replacing it was a chill that enveloped the area, turning the water element into a solid, causing snow to fall all over the sky towards the ground.
In a short while, the raised lands were covered in ice and snow, but the depressions appeared extremely abrupt amidst this.
But this was not the end.
The ten golden rings that had swallowed most of the water element swirled, flying above the depressions. Suddenly, a surging burst of water vapor gushed out from the golden rings. The swallowed water element completely turned into liquid, spewing out endless water flow, and in a matter of moments, thoroughly filled those depressed areas.
For a time, the originally barren continent instantly saw the emergence of countless rivers, scattered like stars on a chessboard and intertwining with each other. Gathering lakes and seas also emerged accordingly. The appearance of water also brought a slight trace of vitality to the seemingly desolate earth.
When earth and water successively concluded, the God of Evil took the stage. The Scales of Judgment gathered the wind element and then shattered it with a strike, causing the formless wind to roam across the entire God Realm's earth. The countless rolling sands, stones, and ocean waves made it seem as if the God Realm was breathing.
Following closely, a sudden surge of high heat melted the ice and snow to nourish the earth. At the same time, countless mountains suddenly erupted outward, spewing large amounts of steaming magma. In the blink of an eye, it flowed to the foot of the mountains, covering the vast majority of the continent's land, melting away almost all the sand and stone along the way, and melting out one large cave after another within layers of rock.
The God of Kindness mobilized the fire element to act in this way. Although the endless magma flowing across the surface brought devastating blows to the land, the land over which the magma flowed, after the magma solidified, began to produce massive amounts of metal deposits, all of which were divine treasures.
Looking at the roughly formed world, the Goddess of Life bloomed with a compassionate radiance, and the Tree of Life shone with an emerald luster.
Branches stretched out, and leaves emitted a strong radiance. The rich, almost tangible life aura completely turned the God Realm into an ocean of life.
With her eyes closed, the Goddess of Life seemed to merge into one with the Tree of Life. The moment the god and the super divine weapon synchronized, the Tree of Life seemed to come alive. Amidst slight tremors, thick branches extended one after another, and an intense life aura rose into the air. All energy was enhanced by its movement. Countless green light spots violently erupted from the Tree of Life!
Hum—
A strong green light soared into the sky!
This, was the power of life!
When life swept across the earth where vitality had dimmed, blades of grass and saplings began to be born. In just a few breaths, the earth was covered in green or a riot of colors, making the entire God Realm thoroughly bloom with vitality.
But such massive vitality, in just a moment, caused this vegetation to expand wildly, seemingly without any restraint.
But as the Tower of Eternity descended and the aura of death spread...
In an instant, whether on the earth or in the ocean, the abundant vegetation that had been flourishing due to the Goddess of Life withered in large batches in the blink of an eye.
The previously thriving vegetation instantly stepped into extinction, but their death was not the end. Instead, they sank into the earth to nourish the soil. In the cyclical balance of life and death, flourishing and withering, this God Realm's earth gained massive nutrients.
Seemingly aware that the time was ripe, and seeing the power of life gradually being worn away, Electrolux quit while he was ahead. The Goddess of Life took out a porcelain bottle and slowly tilted its mouth to let a drop fall.
The Dew Vial contained life energy of such a high level that just a single drop of emerald liquid, upon sinking into the earth, instantly rippled out a layer of emerald ripples, dispersing the dense aura of death and making the entire God Realm's earth radiate with vitality once more.
After all of this concluded, Hum—
In the exact center of the God Realm, a majestic and awe-inspiring building instantly descended. The appearance of the God Realm Committee caused the power of the God Realm's core to once again envelop the entire God Realm.
The full eruption of the God Realm's core's power also completely stabilized the God Realm's barrier. This also meant that Gu Tianchen no longer needed to maintain the defensive stability of the God Realm's barrier, and could withdraw.
At this moment, the brand-new God Realm was thoroughly formed!
Looking at the empty land without living beings before him, "Since the God Realm has taken shape, it's time to let everyone out."
Saying this, Chen Junting pressed a finger onto the God Realm's core.
And at this moment inside the God Realm's core, there was only a vast, endlessly massive platform. All the gods of the Douluo God Realm stood on this platform, with the only God King-level expert Rong Nianbing holding the fort, all patiently waiting.
Until a spell of the world spinning...
In an instant, the brand-new God Realm presented itself before the gods.
...
"What did you say?"
After the creation of the brand-new God Realm, the God Realm Committee convened once again, because the upcoming spatial turbulence was of the utmost importance.
But during this period, Chen Junting raised a point.
He wanted to set up a grand formation for the entire God Realm to shelter it, with the first and foremost being this spatial turbulence.
As for the name of the grand formation...
Its name was—the Grand Formation of the Cosmic Starry Sky!
"What is the principle behind this grand formation?"
Regarding whether Chen Junting could design a grand formation that could shelter the entire God Realm, the God of Destruction and the others had not the slightest doubt about his ability. After all, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation was right there, enough to prove everything.
What truly puzzled them was what such a formation capable of sheltering the God Realm would use for energy. Could it be, like the Original Sin Descent Formation and the Element Stripping Formation, using the gods as formation eyes? But soon, Chen Junting gave his answer.
"I wish to use the God Realm's core as the central formation eye, the galaxies governed by the God Realm as the foundation, and the subordinate planes of the God Realm as auxiliary formation eyes, to lay out the Grand Formation of the Cosmic Starry Sky to shelter the God Realm! In this way, the Grand Formation of the Cosmic Starry Sky can only act externally, not internally, preventing it from being abused in the event of internal strife."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Goddess of Life's eyes lit up first.
Following closely behind were the God of Destruction and the others.
Thus, the result was without any surprise...
"Passed!"
"Seconded!" ×7
The moment their opinions reached a consensus, the Grand Formation of the Cosmic Starry Sky entered the setup phase. The most important part was using the power of the God Realm's core to connect with the plane cores or plane spirits of the various subordinate planes. Secondly, it connected the power of each galaxy. And then, it was selecting corresponding nodes on the God Realm's earth and dome, linking them with array patterns.
In less than fifty days, the Grand Formation of the Cosmic Starry Sky took shape.
Unfortunately, there was no opportunity to test it.
Because under the flow of time, the day of the spatial turbulence's arrival soon came, and the entire God Realm was completely quiet.
On this day, all nine God Kings gathered in the God Realm Committee, their expressions solemn, making the entire main hall completely silent.
Until...
Suddenly, a faint hum sounded.
Hum—
The blue sky that should have been wreathed in clouds and mist, the instant this hum appeared, all the clouds and mist in the entire sky suddenly trembled. Immediately after, bizarre double images actually appeared, as if every single cloud had parallelly split apart.
Sensing the anomaly, Chen Junting, who was already on high alert, waved his hand, and a light screen presented itself before the God Kings.
Among the multitude of stars, there was a gray, inconspicuous, yet faintly visible little gray dot, and this little gray dot was constantly approaching the Douluo God Realm. Under the detection of the promoted God Realm's core, it was completely exposed.
To let the God Kings see more clearly, the Heavenly Eye on Chen Junting's forehead opened. Light shone from the vertical pupil, instantly reflecting and magnifying the gray dot in the light screen.
That gray dot was a very bizarre existence, gray and unremarkable, but seemingly spinning violently. One could faintly see that it was itself like a vortex composed of air currents, and it was gradually growing larger, like a mass of gray mist, flying at top speed towards the God Realm.
"Such powerful spatial turbulence!"
The God of Destruction's pupils suddenly shrank!
This scale was beyond even his imagination.
He had previously underestimated it.
Out of caution, after his exclamation, the God of Destruction immediately said, "Simply having the gods defend won't do. At this scale, no matter what, it will affect the interior of the God Realm."
"Then have them all gather at the God Realm Committee."
With divine lives at stake, there was no room for carelessness.
Anyway, the moment the God of Destruction raised this point, Chen Junting immediately made the final call to pass it, and not a single God King expressed opposition.
"Since the spatial turbulence has come, let's set about defending."
Chen Junting's gaze swept over everyone. "I will directly activate the Grand Formation of the Cosmic Starry Sky to consume the spatial turbulence. But this time, the top priority of the Grand Formation of the Cosmic Starry Sky is not defense."
Oh?
Upon these words, several of them immediately felt puzzled.
However, they only showed curiosity on their faces and didn't ask aloud.
Coincidentally, Chen Junting's next words explained the reason. "The task of the Grand Formation of the Cosmic Starry Sky this time, is to stabilize the God Realm."
As for why it was said to be stabilizing the God Realm...
