Chapter 501: A Decade of Change! The Demonization of the God Realm
Huo Yuhao's arrival did not cause any ripples in White Cloud City. Seeing his remarkable talent in soul tool technology, Ye Cheng introduced him to the soul engineer Xuan Ji, urging him to become his apprentice and truly learn the depths of soul tool science.
Meanwhile, in the Star Dou Forest…
A flash of silvery light appeared, followed by the arrival of a small figure.
She had long silver hair that gradually faded into purple, styled into twin tails tied with beaded accessories. Her unique dress carried an exotic charm, and her chubby little feet were covered with white stockings, giving her an irresistibly cute appearance.
Her round face, large blue eyes, and the delicate dragon horns protruding from either side of her head all made her stand out. A thin, elegant tail swayed behind her, its tip resembling a fluffy ball of yarn.
She was the Moonlit Dragon Girl Kanna!
The moment she set foot in this world, Silver Dragon King immediately sensed her presence. Feeling the unmistakable connection of their shared bloodline, and recalling what she had seen in the mysterious videos, her heart stirred with complicated emotions.
With a flash of light, Silver Dragon King appeared before Kanna in her human form. She gazed at the adorable girl in front of her, and though she knew that this Kanna was the daughter of her counterpart from a twin world strictly speaking, not related to her by blood she still felt a strong sense of closeness and an overwhelming maternal affection.
"Kanna…" Silver Dragon King called out, her expression conflicted.
The tiny girl, with her blank yet endearing face, stared at the woman before her. Compared to her older sister Klee's innocent and naive nature, Kanna despite her childlike appearance actually understood far more than she let on. She was far from an ordinary little girl.
"…Mommy?" She tilted her small head, her voice soft and slightly confused.
That single word Mommy shattered Silver Dragon King's defenses entirely.
The deep bond of blood, the sheer adorableness of the little girl, all triggered a tidal wave of motherly love within her. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and pulled Kanna into a tight embrace.
Kanna did not resist, allowing her small frame to be wrapped in warmth. She remained in Silver Dragon King's arms, maintaining her usual dazed yet irresistibly cute expression.
As for what she was truly thinking… no one could tell. Not even her own creator, Ye Cheng, knew for sure.
Ever since the manifestation of character concepts had become reality, these figures born from their original settings had transformed into independent living beings, entirely beyond his control.
For this very reason, Ye Cheng was extremely cautious about bringing characters into existence. The more powerful and intelligent they were, the harder they were to control, and the greater the chance of unexpected complications.
So far, he had only materialized two harmless loli characters Klee and Kanna.
As for the truly overpowered characters? He still relied on avatars infused with their powers, simply acting as them instead of fully bringing them into existence.
The risks were simply too high.
After White Cloud City unified the Douluo 2 continent…
The next step was to systematically integrate all of the continent's talent and resources into the larger empire.
Specialists in all fields were transported to Douluo 2, ensuring that the new continent was swiftly absorbed and reconstructed.
To Ye Cheng, the state of Douluo 2 during the Ultimate Tang Sect era was utterly appalling. The entire continent was steeped in corruption, outdated traditions, and a fundamentally broken system.
A complete and total purge was necessary.
Groups like the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy rotten to the core had to be utterly eradicated.
It took less than ten years to completely transform the social structure of the continent.
While it wasn't quite a utopia where doors never needed locking, it came very close.
Ten years passed.
In this time, many changes took place.
Not only did Ye Cheng's forces grow even stronger, but a new generation of prodigies emerged, further increasing the number of god level powerhouses.
The number of God Kings also rose, with figures like Neptune and Sun Zhongjing achieving breakthroughs into God King status.
The overall power level of Douluo Star skyrocketed, reaching a level where even the God Realm itself could no longer ignore them.
In a head to head clash, it was uncertain who would emerge victorious.
Despite the merging of two God Realms, raising the number of God Kings from five to ten, the reality was that rank alone did not determine true combat power.
If power was dictated solely by realm, then there would be no need for battles at all they could just compare rankings and declare a winner.
Thus, the God Realm had grown increasingly fearful of Douluo Star.
They watched with growing dread as the planet absorbed more and more of the Abyss' energies, constantly evolving and growing stronger.
Meanwhile, the God Realm remained stagnant.
In less than a hundred years, Douluo Star had closed the gap on millions of years of God Realm accumulation and now, it was even on the verge of surpassing it.
The balance of power was shifting, and the God Realm was beginning to panic.
Who wouldn't feel frustrated and envious after witnessing such a situation?
But the problem was that they couldn't do anything about Douluo Star. The mysterious Q&A system had been protecting it, allowing it to survive its weakest phase.
Now, after years of absorbing Abyssal Essence, Douluo Star had fully surpassed the God Realm in every aspect, transitioning into a divine planet.
This had been the ultimate goal of the God Realm for tens of millions of years.
Yet, Douluo Star had achieved it in mere decades.
It was utterly unfair!
God Realm.
The Asura God's Divine Palace.
"The time has come."
The old Asura God, who had not yet passed his divine position to Tang San, smirked as he sensed the sacrificial formations he had arranged across the God Realm fully prepared and ready to be activated at any moment.
His gaze pierced through space, looking toward the locations of the other God Kings, as he murmured:
"Don't blame me… Resisting the Abyss only leads to ruin. The countless futures have already made it clear if the God Realm wants to survive, its only path is to embrace the Abyss… and become demons!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old Asura God activated the sacrificial arrays he had secretly set up throughout the God Realm!
Boom!
In an instant, the God Realm, originally shrouded in ethereal multicolored mist, was suddenly tinged with a faint layer of blood red hue!
At the same moment, the other nine God Kings sensed the change the moment the array was activated.
Within an instant, they all teleported into the Asura God's Divine Palace, glaring at the old Asura God, who remained seated on his throne.
The two Gods of Destruction roared in unison:
"Asura! What the hell are you doing?!"
But the old Asura God merely shook his head at his longtime comrades and the rest of the God Kings, exuding an absolute calm.
"Too weak… Far too weak…"
As he spoke, the entire divine palace changed drastically.
Before the nine God Kings could react, they suddenly found themselves trapped in a blood red world, surrounded by mountains of corpses and endless seas of blood.
In that instant, the old Asura God finally tore off his mask.
His body began to distort, twist, and swell.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a full fledged Abyssal Demon one that looked identical to the demonic transformation of Tang San seen in the past video revelations!
"This… Asura, you…!"
The nine God Kings stared in utter disbelief.
How could they not understand? The old Asura God had already betrayed them, pledging his allegiance to the Abyss!
"Everyone, for the sake of our years of camaraderie, why don't you join me? Let's witness the rebirth of the God Realm together!"
The demonized Asura God grinned manically, his grotesque, twisted face brimming with fanaticism.
Outside the Divine Palace…
The entire God Realm began to rupture as massive cracks tore through the skies.
From those cracks, an endless torrent of Abyssal Energy surged forth, corrupting and infecting everything in its path!
The once pure and divine celestial energy of the God Realm quickly darkened, becoming tainted and impure.
The gods, once revered as supreme beings, now found themselves helplessly transforming into demons under the corrupting influence of the Abyss!
Countless gods howled in agony, yet they were powerless to resist.
They could only endure the Abyssal Baptism, their divine bodies twisting and mutating into horrific demonic forms.
The God Realm, once a paradise, had in mere moments turned into a nightmarish abyssal wasteland.
The newly transformed Abyssal Gods had no more will to resist.
Their minds twisted and shattered, consumed by madness and ecstasy.
Their souls remained, their memories intact…
But their very essence had been forever defiled!
They were no longer gods.
They had completely and utterly fallen becoming true demons.
The God Realm ceased to exist at that moment.
In its place was a newly born Demon Realm!
But it didn't end there.
Since the God Realm controlled hundreds of lower worlds, the Abyssal corruption began spreading to every connected plane.
The process was not as fast as in the God Realm, but if the connection remained…
Within a few years, those planes would suffer the same fate.
The entire multiverse was now on the brink of an abyssal catastrophe!
