Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the unknown void, when the divine seed blossoms into a radiant flower, as dazzling as the stars, a wisp of pure gold flows from the flower's stamen, like melting sunlight—a color not of this mortal realm. It slowly seeps into the sea of ​​spirit, rendering the entire sea of ​​spirit like golden waves. In an instant, it transforms into golden waves, each drop of water shimmering with a sacred luster.

Just as the golden ocean reached its peak, a wisp of power transcending the constraints of this world quietly descended. After a year and a half, the aura of the true god once again spread, like the distant, ancient starry sky, causing mountains and rivers to fall silent and winds and clouds to pause.

At that moment, the level 10 Soul Masters who were forging their ultimate soul weapons in Mingdu stopped their work and subconsciously looked towards the Demon Forest. At the foot of the newly built freshman dormitory building at Shrek University, the two elderly men, Mu En and Xuan Zi, who were sunbathing and eating fried chicken, subconsciously gazed into the distance. Compared to level 10 Soul Masters, as Limit Douluos, their perception of the world was much clearer.

They couldn't explain what it was, but they felt that something beyond their comprehension had descended upon them.

In a bustling metropolis brimming with soul-guided technology, the God of Greed looked disdainfully at the fat, middle-aged man on the ground. While absorbing the desires of greed, he casually dealt with a criminal who had violated imperial law, tossing the evidence to a member of the enforcement team from a holy angel family. He was the God of Original Sin, not Original Sin itself. Although he wielded the power of Original Sin, he did not favor evil people; on the contrary, he deeply abhorred those who committed Original Sin.

Suddenly, the god of greed gazed into the distance, a hint of interest in his eyes.

"Possessing divine consciousness before becoming a god? There are quite a few geniuses in the Douluo Continent."

Generally speaking, the process of a living being becoming a god begins with a breakthrough in energy. After ascending to the divine realm, they come into contact with celestial energy, which promotes the breakthrough of both the soul and the physical body. This is also true for most beings who become gods through divine positions.

Demonic forest.

A ray of rosy light, imbued with a sense of sacred clarity, descended from the heavens, as if leading to an ideal paradise.

"Shut it down!" An Zhen gripped the Scepter of Destruction, pointing it at the Ascension Gate leading to the Douluo God Realm. "No one here wants to ascend now."

"An Zhen!" A mental wave filled with anger came from within. "Why did you interfere with Yu Tong's opportunity!"

The one who emitted the mental fluctuations was naturally Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

Feeling the call from a higher world, with the gate to ascension within reach, and godhood and eternal life within easy reach, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was naturally furious at being suddenly interrupted by An Zhen. It was as if someone had abruptly interrupted her just as she was reaching the peak of her emotions.

“Idiot,” An Zhen said coldly, having no interest in explaining to a giant insect.

With Huo Yutong's talent and the inheritance of the God of Emotions, becoming a god is a matter of course for her. If she were to use the Gate of Ascension to become a god, although she could complete the divine trials in the God Realm, she would be unable to return to Douluo Continent, severing all ties with it. Given Huo Yutong's personality, she would certainly not choose to leave directly. Even if she ascended to godhood, she would make certain arrangements for her friends and teachers, perhaps even taking them with her.

Moreover, Huo Yutong's potential before becoming a god has not yet been fully developed. Directly ascending to godhood would cause her originally solid foundation to become unstable, greatly reducing her future potential. It would be a self-destructive act and would be very detrimental to her future growth.

"You...you're utterly unreasonable!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch helplessly as the ascension glow gradually disappeared and the gate to ascension closed. She could only stomp her feet in anger and roll around on the ground in Huo Yutong's spiritual sea, making the waves even more turbulent. "You selfish bastard! You just want Yutong to stay here so that she can help you fight against that outsider plane."

“Who is being selfish here!” An Zhen retorted, her clear voice carrying a hint of coldness. “If you really care about Yu Tong, you should let her complete the Divine Trial and the path of a Soul Master, hone herself to perfection, reach the limits of the mortal world in every aspect, and finally use the divine position to break through the shackles of heaven and earth and ascend to godhood. Only in this way can she go further after becoming a god.”

"Instead of what you think, that everything will be fine as long as you live forever."

Despite being a million-year-old soul beast, it lacked the courage and boldness expected of one. After all, this creature had accumulated its cultivation through eating and sleeping. Aside from its cultivation and abilities, it was essentially still that weak ice silkworm.

As for fighting against external planes, Huo Yutong's presence or absence would be of little help to An Zhen in the fight against the Abyss Saint King. Even if she inherited the position of the God of Emotions, without the help of immortal spiritual energy, she wouldn't be able to raise her power to a first-level god, or even a second-level god, in a short time. After obtaining a godhood, one must absorb immortal spiritual energy to cultivate and advance to the corresponding realm.

"Who says I'm not doing this for Yu Tong!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm tried to retort. "Do you know how difficult it is to achieve immortality? Do you know how painful it is to fail to become a god? If you miss this opportunity, there's no guarantee that the next chance will come. Who can guarantee that Yu Tong will definitely become a god in the future!"

"I can!" An Zhen said confidently. "At worst, I can go to the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, break off a piece of Life Gold from the center of the lake, absorb that vast and pure life force, and I can still ascend!" At the same time, in the Douluo God Realm, a god official working near the central hub of the God Realm noticed that the central hub had detected a being in the lower realm who had reached the god level. He was preparing to open the gate of ascension according to the rules of the God Realm to guide this powerful being to ascend to godhood when he suddenly discovered that someone seemed to be holding the legendary Scepter of Destruction, and told him to close the gate.

Priest:?
I heard that the God of Destruction has taken in a disciple in the mortal realm.

The deity sent by Asura God Tang San to deal with the disciple of the God of Destruction was killed in the mortal realm by the disciple of the God of Destruction using the Staff of Destruction. There were also a series of subsequent events, including the capture of Tang San's wife, the Sea Goddess Xiao Wu. These events had already caused a great stir throughout the entire God Realm.

The priest silently pressed the button to close the gate to ascension.

There's no need. Regardless of the reason this person is preventing someone from ascending, they possess a powerful artifact and are fully capable of stopping others from ascending. Moreover, this person might become their future superior.

……

Douluo Continent, Demon Forest.

"Sister Tianmeng, stop arguing with Brother Anzhen." Huo Yutong's voice rang out, stopping Tianmeng Ice Silkworm from continuing to argue. "Brother Anzhen would never harm Yutong."

“Of course not,” Anzhen continued meaningfully, “but whether a certain insect that yearns for immortality has other ideas is another matter entirely.”

"you!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was angry and tried to persuade Huo Yutong, "Yutong—"

“Sister Tianmeng!” Huo Yutong interrupted Tianmeng Bingcan, and said seriously, “Yutong is no longer a child. Yutong has her own judgment on various things. Yutong is grateful for Sister Tianmeng’s help in the past, but please don’t say bad things about Brother Anzhen in front of Yutong anymore.”

Over the years, Huo Yutong's journey from Soul Master to Title Douluo has been entirely orchestrated by An Zhen. Aside from her spiritual essence and a few soul skills, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm contributed very little throughout the entire process. Naturally, Huo Yutong trusts An Zhen more than the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Furthermore, as Huo Yutong herself said, she is no longer the naive child who had just left the Duke's mansion and was ignorant of many things. Now, she has her own judgment regarding matters.

Gradually, Huo Yutong gained an objective understanding of even the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Sister Heavenly Dream wasn't as powerful as she had initially imagined.

From an emotional perspective, Huo Yutong trusts her brother Anzhen more.
From a rational perspective, although Sister Tianmeng is a million-year-old soul beast, she is completely ignorant of this kind of knowledge. She has no way of learning about it, and she is not at that level herself. Apart from Di Tian and Gu Yuena, no other soul beast on Douluo Star knows anything about this. As the disciple of two God Kings and possessing divine consciousness himself, Brother Anzhen must have been taught this by those two God Kings, so he definitely knows about it.

"Yu Tong!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was somewhat surprised by Huo Yu Tong's attitude. Seeing the serious expression on her face, her attitude softened, and the entire insect slumped back to the ground. "Alright, I won't say then."

"Heh~" An Zhen snorted softly.

A mere silkworm, trying to fight him?!
Huo Yutong shook her head slightly, somewhat helplessly. On this matter, Sister Tianmeng and Brother Anzhen had different perspectives.

Sister Tianmeng is obsessed with achieving immortality.

For Anzhen's brother, reaching level 100 True God status is not the end, but rather another beginning. Immortality is merely one of the gains along this path, not the entire goal.

As for herself, she also wants to become stronger so that she can help Anzhen in the future.

Huo Yutong stood up and sat cross-legged for two months without feeling any discomfort. On the contrary, she felt more comfortable than ever before. Her eyes, as bright as stars, reflected all things in the world. Everything was clearer in her eyes, and she could even clearly see the flow of the power of heaven and earth and even the laws of the universe. Was this the perspective of a god?

"How are you feeling?" An Zhen gently stroked Huo Yutong's little head, looking at her little darling. Hmm… she seemed to have grown a centimeter in height. It seemed that unless her body was reshaped, little Yutong couldn't escape her adorable appearance. Her previously extraordinary aura had vanished, and she looked like a cute girl next door. However, if someone with strong spiritual power were to see her, they would sense something amiss, like a speck of dust floating in the clear sky. (End of Chapter)
