Chapter 267: The Gods of the Divine Realm Descend to the Mortal Realm and Meet the Beast Gods of the Sea
"Boss! When are we going to create our own Divine Realm?!" Bing Xiong Wang asked.
Ye Wen thought for a moment and shook his head. "There's no rush. Now is not the time to create a Divine Realm. If we create one now, it's like declaring war on the Douluo Divine Realm."
"At that time, the Divine Realm will undoubtedly mobilize and destroy us in one strike, then devour our Divine Realm to expand their Douluo Divine Realm."
It's easy to imagine—if these beasts create their own Divine Realm, the human gods will all launch an attack, starting a war with the Divine Realm. The Douluo Divine Realm will never allow the Beast Gods' Divine Realm to exist.
Thus, creating a Divine Realm would directly signify rebellion, leading to a second Divine Realm war between the beasts and the humans.
Moreover, even if Ye Wen didn't create the Divine Realm as a beast, and instead as a human, the Douluo Mortal Realm wouldn't allow it.
How could a single star domain have two Divine Realms?
At the same time, Ye Wen also knew that the God of Destruction, one of the five Divine Kings, was eager to expand the Divine Realm's power.
The God of Destruction wanted to make the Divine Realm stronger and more powerful.
The Divine Realm could be expanded.
Imagine the Divine Realm as a world trapped inside a gigantic balloon. The amount of water inside the balloon is limited; if it gets too full, the balloon will burst.
If the Divine Realm is like a balloon, then the water inside represents the number of divine positions.
When there are too many divine positions, the Divine Realm will burst. That's why the number of divine positions is limited and cannot exceed a certain capacity.
However, if the balloon is opened and the air from another balloon is absorbed, without the risk of bursting, the balloon will grow larger, and more water can fit inside.
The God of Destruction wanted to absorb other Divine Realms, making the Douluo Divine Realm bigger to accommodate more divine positions.
If Ye Wen created a Divine Realm, he would be playing right into the hands of the God of Destruction, and he would be the first to declare war.
"Still the same, we need more time to develop. Even if we clash with the Divine Realm, it's not time to escalate the war to the final battle."
"What we need is time."
As Ye Wen spoke, the Beast Gods nodded in agreement. "We understand."
"Boss, do we have a plan moving forward?" Xie Hu asked.
"We'll head back to the Star Dou Great Forest and enter the otherworldly space created by Bat King. We'll stay hidden, continue our cultivation, and once Di Tian and the others have all borne their divine positions, we will make our big move!" Ye Wen smiled.
"Alright."
"Let's go! Back to the Star Dou Great Forest!"
All the Beast Gods followed Ye Wen as he flew away from Sea God Island, heading back to the Star Dou Great Forest on the mainland.
If the Divine Realm had already sent gods down to find trouble, then by entering the otherworldly space created by Bat King, they could avoid detection by the Divine Realm and prolong the conflict.
They would continue to grow their strength.
However, as luck would have it...
Just as they were leaving Sea God Island and flying across the sea, the group of Divine Realm enforcement gods had already arrived.
The two sides met in the middle of the sea.
"Hmm?" Ye Wen furrowed his brow slightly.
"Boss, looks like we're in some trouble," Xie Hu said, though he seemed excited about it.
Ye Wen glanced at him. "Xie Hu, you seem eager to meet them, huh?"
"Heh, Boss, you know me well!" Xie Hu grinned sheepishly.
Xue Di asked, "Ye Wen, should we fight?"
Ye Wen shook his head with a smile. "Heh, Xue Di, do you think they'll just let us go with such an aura?"
"Definitely not," Xue Di replied calmly.
"Since we've already run into them, we'll have to kill them all," Ye Wen shrugged. He had already suspected the Divine Realm would make a move, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
It seemed that the conflict with the Divine Realm had already become unavoidable.
Now, they had to kill all the gods that had descended.
All the Beast Gods focused on the human gods before them, readying themselves for battle. Despite facing such a large number of gods, they were not afraid, and their eyes showed no fear, as if they didn't even care.
At that moment, in the sky before them...
More than a hundred god officials and twenty-five gods coldly observed the soul beasts.
"We've located the target, but no signs of the Dragon God."
"Then it's settled. No Dragon God, so we can act."
"This is unbelievable! The Douluo Mortal Realm has so many Beast Gods. How did they do it?"
"Who knows? Doesn't matter. We'll just kill them," a level 2 god said casually, shrugging, clearly underestimating Ye Wen and the others.
"Should we kill the soul beasts without divine positions as well?" someone asked.
"Shura God's command is to kill all Beast Gods. If some haven't reached godhood yet, there's no need to kill them," another god answered.
"Hey, have you thought about this? Since these soul beasts can become gods, what about the others? If we let the ones without divine positions go now, and in a while, they become gods, won't we have to come down again?"
"Good point. Let's eliminate them all."
"I agree."
"Heh, well then, it's settled."
The gods were discussing among themselves, treating it like a casual chat, as though, in their eyes, Ye Wen and his soul beasts were weak, easily crushable.
This was expected because Ye Wen and his companions had already hidden their divine power. The gods could only feel the divine power emanating from them but couldn't tell what level their divinity was or how strong it was.
In their eyes, Ye Wen and his group had gathered divinity, but they assumed they were at most level 3 gods, with maybe one or two level 2 gods, but they didn't think much of them.
"Alright, alright, shall we all attack together, or does someone want to have some fun first?"
"I'll do it! Just a bunch of beastly pests. I'll finish them off quickly, and we can return to the Divine Realm sooner."
The four level 2 gods were nonchalantly chatting, completely underestimating Ye Wen and his group.
At this moment, a very perceptive level 3 god stepped forward.
