Chapter 476: Diplomatic Relations Between Two Worlds
Despite learning about the concept of twin worlds after the fusion of the Douluo Two universe and realizing that Keli might have come from another world rather than the future, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's feelings for her remained unchanged. They still cherished her as if she were their own daughter. After all, who wouldn't love such an adorable child?
When people spend enough time together, bonds naturally form. Even if there is no blood relation, it is normal for one to love and care for an adopted child as if they were their own. So, even after discovering that Keli was not their actual daughter from the future, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong's affection for her did not waver. In fact, fearing that she might feel left out, they became even more indulgent toward her.
However, little Keli didn't think too much about it. At her carefree age, the idea that one day her mother might not be her real mother and her father might not be her real father just two identical strangers never crossed her mind. She continued playing around without a care in the world, still the beloved little princess of Baiyun City, adored by all.
Now that the two fused worlds had made contact, both sides began exchanging information regarding the distribution of power and the current state of affairs. As they compared notes, the people from Douluo Two were shocked to realize that the supposedly "twin" world, which should have mirrored their history from 10,000 years ago, was completely different from what their records described.
Not only had the renowned Sea God Tang San become a publicly reviled traitor, a scoundrel who betrayed humanity to side with the Abyss, but he was now hiding somewhere, licking his wounds.
More importantly the Douluo One world had gods!
And not just one or two many gods!
Most of them were gathered in Baiyun City, making it the absolute center of power in this world.
In this version of the past a proper path to break through from Title Douluo to godhood had been fully established.
Additionally, the soul tool technology here was light years ahead of theirs. Even the once proud Sun Moon Empire, known for its advances in soul tools, was left in awe after examining the technological blueprints shared by Douluo One.
For the first time, they questioned if their own soul tool development path had been wrong all along.
Could the technology of the other world be the true path forward?
Meanwhile, in Douluo One, after experiencing the Abyss invasion and regularly acquiring artifacts from alternate timelines, the world's energy concentration had skyrocketed to an incredibly high level. It had long since reached the threshold necessary to support the birth of God King level beings.
However, upon reaching this stage, Douluo Star's progress seemed to hit a bottleneck.
Perhaps it would take another large scale invasion from demonic entities to break through this bottleneck and elevate the world's foundation to a higher level. If that happened, cultivation would become even easier, and breaking through to higher realms would no longer be as difficult.
Now that the two Douluo Stars had fused, the energy density rose even further at an observable rate.
Though people didn't feel anything different, in reality, this was because Ye Cheng's power had perfectly harmonized both worlds, ensuring a seamless fusion.
He had also erased the drastic planetary mass increase that could have caused gravitational shifts, orbital misalignment, and countless other disastrous consequences that would have devastated life on the planet.
Without his intervention, the sheer increase in planetary mass alone would have caused apocalyptic environmental changes, potentially wiping out over 90% of all life.
But with his control over part of the Abyss Lord's authority, Ye Cheng neutralized all negative effects, not just on Douluo but throughout the entire universe, ensuring that all inhabited planets remained stable.
Without his influence, the mere fusion of two universes could have led to the mass extinction of countless civilizations in minor realms.
The Most Noticeable Changes in Douluo Star
The biggest change after the fusion was the increased energy concentration.
Furthermore, newborns from this point forward all displayed varying degrees of innate soul power.
This led to a dramatic increase in the number of individuals born with the potential to become soul masters.
Originally, only about 1% of the population was born with innate soul power.
Now, that percentage had skyrocketed to 40%.
This was an unprecedented leap.
Even though people still didn't fully understand why the two worlds had suddenly fused, they had no choice but to accept it. There was nothing they could do about it.
Thus, the leaders of both worlds began formal diplomatic relations!
Douluo One's Leadership: Baiyun City
Without a doubt, Baiyun City took the lead on Douluo One's side.
After all, its leader, Ye Cheng, was a peak God King level powerhouse.
His unquestionable strength alone was enough to demand respect.
Moreover, his repeated heroic deeds, as revealed in the Question and Answer videos, made him a savior figure.
Because of this, other factions willingly accepted Baiyun City's leadership they had no choice but to submit.
Douluo Two's Leadership: Internal Power Struggle
On the Douluo Two side, however, things were far more chaotic.
Nobody could agree on who should represent their world in diplomatic talks with Baiyun City.
After all, no single faction held absolute power.
Furthermore, whoever became their representative would gain immense prestige, essentially cementing their faction as the dominant force in this new world order.
Naturally, no one was willing to give up that opportunity.
Aside from political prestige, the delegation would also negotiate for their faction's share of the benefits from this cross world collaboration.
If one faction secured exclusive partnerships, they would reap massive rewards, while others would fall behind.
This was a real, tangible struggle for power and resources.
The Final Decision
After an intense struggle, negotiations, and backdoor deals, the factions reluctantly agreed to form a temporary alliance.
They chose Shrek Academy as the main representative.
However, to maintain balance, representatives from Sun Moon Empire, Dou Ling Empire, and other forces were also included as envoys.
Shrek Academy's delegation leader was the aging Mu En, one of their strongest fighters.
Although he was a Limit Douluo, compared to the god tier powerhouses on the other side, his strength now seemed insignificant.
But they had no better options.
They could only send their strongest, hoping not to embarrass themselves too much.
Thus, a large diplomatic envoy was assembled, consisting of many of the most powerful figures from across Douluo Two.
However, their true purpose in traveling to Baiyun City was not just diplomacy.
They wanted to discover the secret to ascending to godhood!
After all, according to their intelligence, almost all of the god tier powerhouses in this world were either from Baiyun City or closely connected to it.
All evidence pointed to one conclusion
If one wanted to become a god, there was only one place to go.
Baiyun City.
