Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

“However…” An Zhen’s gaze swept across the underground space, revealing everything he wanted to see. “If these underground meditation and training rooms aren’t saved soon, they’ll be ruined.”

These meditation chambers, each made from different precious materials according to their respective attributes, are among the most comprehensive and functionally top-tier meditation chambers in the world. For a Soul Master Academy, they are invaluable treasures that represent its very foundation. They were initially powered by the Golden Ancient Tree, but although some energy still remains within the Golden Ancient Tree to maintain its material quality, it is now like a dead object, essentially inanimate.

"It would be a real shame to scrap it."

Although his virtual world could do the same thing, or even better, there's a catch.

Anzhen's consciousness entered the virtual world, found the consciousness of those Soul Masters, and asked them to design a large-scale energy conversion device based on the energy conversion device that Kong Deming had previously designed to power the teleportation array.

Upon receiving the order, the Soul Masters put down their original work and began designing and manufacturing the device without delay. The design wasn't difficult; it simply involved improving upon the original design and increasing its overall power.

An Zhen stirred his divine sense, and the remaining life energy on the spot was condensed, eventually forming a bluish-gold life crystal the size of an infant's fist. Although it was leftovers from what he had "eaten," it was far more effective than absorbing the life force of some living gold in terms of prolonging life and improving aptitude. After all, this thing had a higher quality and life force than the living gold of mortals, but unlike the living gold of the divine realm, it was not something that beings below the level of true gods could completely absorb.

After putting away her things, An Zhen stretched her body and took a step forward. The solid space shattered instantly in the face of An Zhen's advance, and An Zhen's figure appeared in the lobby on the first floor of the World Pavilion.

"An Zhen?" The sudden appearance of spatial power almost made Elder Xuan, who was enjoying fried chicken and milk tea, choke. He thought there was an outsider, but he was relieved when he saw An Zhen's figure.

"Didn't you always stay silent when you appeared before?"

Elder Xuan looked at An Zhen, his eyes widening in surprise.

An Zhen stood with his back to the sunlight, the afterglow of the setting sun falling on the boy, as if he were draped in a layer of hazy golden light and shadow, transforming into an unfathomable divine might, sacred and transcendent, as if he did not belong to this world, like a god awakening from slumber.

“Because I’ve achieved godhood in my physical body,” An Zhen said calmly. “I just wanted to experience what it felt like to shatter the void with my physical body.”

"Oh." Old Xuan mechanically grabbed a handful of chicken, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed mechanically.

He was so shocked he didn't know what to say.

He knew An Zhen was incredibly talented, but wasn't this a bit too abnormal?!
First, spiritual consciousness transforms into divine consciousness.

Now, he has even become a god in his physical body.

Is becoming a god that simple?
"How is the academy doing?" An Zhen asked, while simultaneously surveying the entire academy with her divine sense.

“It’s the same as before,” Elder Xuan said. “It feels like a big deal, but it’s as if nothing happened. The people are still the same, not a single one is missing, and recently there have even been a few more inner courtyard disciples.”

Even the Sea God Pavilion member who had previously said he couldn't accept An Zhen's dictatorial rule ended up staying quietly. It was thought that a group of people would be unable to stand it, but unexpectedly, he was the only one who suddenly became a clown. Because of this incident, he has been staying at home recently and is unwilling to go out.

"Thanks to the presence of the teacher and Elder Xuan." An Zhen knew everything that happened that day.

“They’re all getting old, so they don’t want to move.” Elder Xuan said while eating chicken nuggets. “The main problem was that fire rain. It was outrageous. What was that thing you brought down that day? I’ve absorbed the energy of the Golden Ancient Tree before. Was it really that powerful? I heard from Shao Zhe that the children and teachers in the inner courtyard have improved their talents by at least 10%, and one of them even had a benign mutation in his martial soul on the spot.”

It's like taking a magical herb with half the effect. You have to understand, being able to get into the inner academy or stay at Shrek Academy as a teacher already means you have top-notch talent.

Speaking of what happened that day, Elder Xuan became emotional. He had never seen anything like it in his life, especially not within Shrek Academy. It gave him the feeling that Shrek Academy was about to reach another peak.

"One student after another broke through their soul power, including the teachers on Seagod Island, Lin'er and Lexuan, whose soul power also broke through because of this. Shao Zhe also said that he had a great understanding. Those old guys like me have all gained at least ten years more in life because of this."

Several powerful figures among the titled Douluo had made this gain, not to mention the students.

An Zhen's casual act of giving out freebies won over a group of people.

"It was just a casual experiment; I used my divine power to take a look."

It's just a tiny bit in Anzhen's plate. A small amount of energy accumulated by the ancient golden tree over tens of thousands of years, plus a bit of its original essence, which has been "radiated" by the divine power of the Goddess of Life.

Anzhen also sensed what happened that day.

Well, when we return to the Sun and Moon Empire and reveal our true appearance and identity, we can gather students from all over the country to Mingdu and hold another "Blessing of the Gods".

It's just a drizzle.

An Zhen's gaze fell upon the "stomach" of the virtual world, where a huge, golden sphere radiating life and light floated silently in the air—half the energy of the Golden Ancient Tree. An Zhen absorbed one-sixth of it; one-sixth was used to maintain the quality of the Golden Ancient Tree's wood, and the remaining one-sixth was partly used as a benefit for Shrek Academy and partly absorbed by the Heart of Nature, essentially paying the Golden Ancient Tree's protection fee.

An Zhen's physical advancement, which absorbed a vast amount of energy, mainly came from the life energy from Douluo Star bestowed by the Heart of Nature and the energy generated by the reaction of the Goddess of Life's divine power.

Within Anzhen's spiritual sea, a figure stood silently, with long blue hair and a gentle, loving smile—the very image of the Goddess of Life. This was the reflection of the Goddess of Life's divine messenger's mark within Anzhen's spiritual sea, and now, what should have been a phantom reflection appeared as if it were a real person.

Because of the power of the goddess of life.

This is yet another gift from the goddess of life to Anzhen.

It is also a privilege possessed by divine messengers. An Zhen can use these divine powers at any time if she wants to.

If that's all, you can ask your teacher's wife to add more.

Divine messengers, also known as servants of the gods, are mortals who serve the deities and represent them in the world. However, they are given treasures that are extremely precious even to the God-King, personally elevate their life level, answer difficult questions online, teach knowledge and divine skills, and replenish their divine power. They are treated like his own children.

Qian Daoliu openly expressed his envy in response.

"I see." Elder Xuan nodded slightly, then realized what he meant and said in shock, "Divine power! An Zhen, you...you've become a god?"

"No," An Zhen shook her head.

"I have two god-kings backing me up, isn't it normal for me to have some divine power?"

Elder Xuan: ...

He admitted that he was ignorant.

Old Master Xuan shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore, after wave after wave of blows. Sometimes, the difference between people is even greater than the difference between a person and a dog.

Let's just say it won't kill me, hehe...

An Zhen walked out of the World Pavilion and happened to run into Yan Shaozhe, who was walking towards her.

Yan Shaozhe's expression froze for a moment, then brightened with joy. "Junior Brother Pavilion Master, you've finished your seclusion?"

"Mm." Anzhen nodded gently.

Yan Shaozhe felt that his junior brother had suddenly become incredibly powerful, and even a glance at him put him under immense pressure. However, upon thinking about his monstrous talent, which was unprecedented and likely to remain so, he realized he was already used to it. Even if his junior brother were to ascend to godhood in the next second, he wouldn't be surprised at all.

Yan Shaozhe took out a document. "Perfect timing, Junior Brother Pavilion Master. Take a look. The next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is about to be held. This year's competition venue is Mingdu in the Sun Moon Empire. I've prepared a list of participants."

"I was thinking of letting the teachers take a look around since you weren't here, but it just so happens that you've come out of seclusion."

An Zhen took the roster; the official team was still the current generation of Shrek Seven Devils. However, An Zhen was now the head of the World Pavilion, so he naturally couldn't bully the kids anymore. Therefore, he added Nan Qiuqiu to the team.

"Sending Wang Dong and the others is mainly to act as a safety net," Yan Shaozhe said. With the strength of Wang Dong and his group, they could easily sweep through the enemy lines. Not to mention the students under twenty years old from other academies, even if an ordinary Title Douluo appeared on the other side, they would be thoroughly beaten up.

"By the way, let the reserve team broaden their horizons. Although this reserve team is far less talented than you, they are still quite excellent."

An Zhen glanced at the reserve team roster, pausing briefly on the names of Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu; he vaguely remembered the twin sisters. The others were also familiar faces, mostly from his year. Their year had many geniuses, a constellation of stars, but one stood out as the most outstanding.

“Okay.” An Zhen nodded slightly. “This list will do.”

“Okay, I’ll let you know tomorrow—” Yan Shaozhe hadn’t finished speaking when An Zhen shook her head.

“No need,” An Zhen said, her dark eyes gazing at the sky. “This year’s All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament will not be held.”

"?" Yan Shaozhe asked, puzzled.

“However, let them prepare according to this list,” An Zhen said. “In a few months, there will be a continent-wide Soul Fighting Tournament for those under 30 years old and below the Soul Douluo level.”

Yan Shaozhe was even more puzzled.

The world.

Anzhen's family in Shrek City.

Inside Ling Luochen's room, a cute senior student with her hair in a bun was cultivating. Her icy white, fluffy coat made her look like a fluffy white ball. Extreme cold power came from the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow and was refined and absorbed by her through the ice staff in Ling Luochen's hand.

"Senior~"

A voice suddenly sounded.

Ling Luochen instantly snapped out of her cultivation state, a look of surprise appearing in her bright eyes. The next second, a pair of arms pulled her into a familiar embrace. Anzhen's hands groped for Ling Luochen's beautiful legs in white stockings beneath her coat, burying her head in her senior's arms.

At this moment, the usually aloof senior student's eyes were filled with happy smiles and doting affection as she held Anzhen's head in her arms and gently stroked Anzhen's cheeks with her slender hands.
