Bai Ling did not refute.
The Life Star was a plane she had personally nurtured, and she had even cultivated three demi-God King-level avatars.
Although she still hadn't reached the threshold of God King status, she had already accumulated sufficient energy.
What Xu Yuan said about her possibly succeeding on her own was unlikely, but Bai Ling didn't believe that she would forever be unable to break through.
She still had her own confidence.
The development of the Life Star hadn't yet reached its peak; there was still room for growth. If she couldn't find a way to create a God Realm, she planned to forcibly fuse her multiple avatars to violently break through.
"To be honest, there are already several life-related divine positions. Whether it's you, Sacred Heart, or another God King, all of you are preparing to condense life-related divine positions in the new God Realm."
Xu Yuan looked at Bai Ling, observing her reaction.
Little Phoenix was fine since his divine position involved both destruction and life—a composite form rather than a pure life god position.
However, both Sacred Heart and Bai Ling specialized in nearly pure life attributes.
Indeed, Bai Ling frowned.
She looked at Xu Yuan, then at Sacred Heart.
Sacred Heart also looked at Xu Yuan, somewhat concerned about this issue.
"Another God King is also proficient in destruction, so their divine position won't be purely life-related. However, the two of you definitely have a conflict," Xu Yuan said. "My personal suggestion is that the two of you collaborate to condense the life god position, elevating it to God King level. This way, you can share the insights of this God King-level divine position. As for who gets the divine position, I think Bai Ling, you already have your own thoughts."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling understood Xu Yuan's meaning.
"You're allowing me to leave the God Realm and create my own?"
"Why not?"
Bai Ling sighed in relief.
"In that case, I can participate. The life god position we condense will belong to Sacred Heart, but when I create the Life God Realm, he must help me."
Xu Yuan looked at Sacred Heart.
Sacred Heart didn't hesitate and nodded directly. "Rest assured, when the time comes, I will do my utmost to help you."
The two weren't meeting for the first time. At this moment, they only needed a promise from each other.
"The power of your Life Star doesn't need to integrate into my God Realm. All you need to contribute is the effort to condense the divine position," Xu Yuan said.
Bai Ling nodded.
She was contemplating whether participating in Xu Yuan's God Realm creation would allow her to comprehend how to elevate the Life Star to a God Realm.
Sometimes theory is just theory; actual circumstances can be entirely different.
Transforming a plane from material to energy form was already extremely difficult. And if it was already in energy form, developing it to the scale necessary to ascend to a God Realm was equally challenging. Take the Crimson Mother, for example—her Crimson Realm was an energy plane, but after reaching godhood, she converted it into material form.
Because accumulating energy in an energy plane was too difficult, without a physical entity, it was hard to gather such vast energy and constrain it—it was simply too exhausting.
After Bai Ling came the Stone King.
The Stone King was nurtured by the universe itself, inherently aligned with it. The predecessor of the Netherworld was also a Celestial Phenomenon, so strictly speaking, the two were quite compatible. Xu Yuan estimated that the Stone King might very well break through to God King status in the God Realm evolved from the Netherworld.
Of course, his foundation lay within the universe, and detaching himself from it was incredibly difficult. Even with the Netherworld's uniqueness, success wasn't guaranteed.
Perhaps the combined forces of the Stone King and the Netherworld's peculiarity could give rise to a corresponding God King divine position, but the Stone King himself might not be able to perfectly merge with it.

Blood God Star
After discussing the collaboration details, Xu Yuan returned to the Blood God Star with the Blood Demon.
"The nine bloodlines, the Blood God Egg—my body should be fully incubated in about two months, followed by three months of physical growth.
During this time, I plan to drive the entire transformation of the Blood God Star, expanding the Blood God Transformation system to achieve pseudo-God King status.
Under the momentum of immense fortune, all of this is possible."
Typically, evolving a newly conceived cultivation system to one capable of reaching demi-God King status required a long period of evolution.
A cultivation system couldn't be perfected overnight.
Even though the Blood Demon God King himself was a demi-Supreme God, specializing in bloodline-related systems, achieving this in a short time was exceedingly difficult.
However, the current situation was somewhat special.
The Blood God Star might possess immense fortune in the near future—far surpassing its current stage—and under the impetus of such fortune, this step might be achievable.
The Blood Demon planted the Blood God Egg into the essence of the Blood God Star, forcefully designating himself as the chosen one of the plane.
Thump, thump, thump!
The entire Blood God Star seemed to reverberate with a heartbeat.
Xu Yuan saw that within this heart, nine shadows emerged, each being blended and dissected.
Taking the essence and discarding the dross.
Useful parts were cut out and preserved, while useless parts were scattered across the entire Blood God Star via the plane's essence, nurturing corresponding divine beasts.
Gradually, within the Blood God Egg, a complete shadow began to take shape.
Afterward, Xu Yuan could no longer see anything.
This was the Blood Demon God King's foundation. Naturally, he wouldn't let Xu Yuan casually observe him cultivating his bloodline.
A brief glance was enough; the true core couldn't be revealed.
Even Supreme God Kings were merely immortal because their wills resided in divine positions, not because they were truly invincible. If their divine position was seized, they would still perish.
If even their core secrets were leaked, the chance of their Supreme God position being seized would greatly increase.
Xu Yuan and the Blood Demon discussed extending the half-year period to a full year before beginning the creation of the new God Realm. He also informed the three Sacred Hearts of this news.
"Next, it's time for my own preparations."
Xu Yuan took a deep breath and, upon returning to Douluo Star, went to the Netherworld.
"So many divine positions... Condensing them all to God King level won't be easy," Xu Zhi exclaimed in amazement.
Yun Ming looked slightly worried.
"Little Yuan, will this affect you?"
Would condensing so many divine positions for others impact Xu Yuan's own cultivation?
"Teacher, rest assured, it absolutely won't affect me."
For this creation of the God Realm, Xu Yuan only wanted the massive feedback at the end.
Chaos Energy!
Vast chaotic energy!
With this feedback, Xu Yuan would be able to further evolve his Will Realm, nurture beings within it, and condense the Book of Will into a holy scripture, spreading the Way of Will throughout the realm, transforming the Will Realm into a God Realm rooted in chaos!
Yes, a God Realm rooted in chaos.
Why must the next step for the God Realm involve returning to the material dimension?
The Divine Star might be a feasible goal, but it isn't the only path.
Perhaps continuing to shift the God Realm beyond the universe is another road—an absolute path free from the constraints of the universe's will.
