Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

Anzhen is very unhappy right now.

It wasn't that he was in a hurry, because based on what he learned from his master's wife about the current situation in the God Realm, he could roughly analyze it and know that Lieyan was definitely not looking for him to stand on their side, but rather to mediate the conflict or do something similar.

This is not in line with Anzhen's thoughts and interests.

If that's the case, why do something that benefits others but makes yourself unhappy?

Without wasting any words, or rather, this Queen of the Earth's Core was never one to procrastinate, she stated her purpose directly: "The God of Darkness is in your hands, isn't he?"

“Hmm,” Anzhen said, “We’re going to chop him into eight pieces and then throw him into the septic tank.”

Blazing Flames: ...

That sounds quite insightful.

Does this guy really enjoy throwing things into the septic tank to disgust people?
After calming down a bit, Lieyan said, "First, I accept the request of the God of Light, the wife of the God of Darkness, and want to discuss with you whether it is possible to redeem the God of Darkness. The God of Light said that she can grant you any request."

Lieyan said, "If I remember correctly, Wang Dong'er's martial soul is the Goddess of Light Butterfly. In the entire God Realm, there should be no god position that is more suitable for her martial soul than the God of Light. Moreover, the God of Light is also one of the few first-level gods in the Douluo God Realm, second only to the five God Kings."

"For you, this should be a very worthwhile deal. After all, the God of Darkness is not like Xiao Wu, so you can't use him to threaten Tang San. His usefulness to you is very limited. At most, you can only kill him to vent your anger. But now you can use him to exchange for a powerful godhood that suits your lover's martial soul. It can be considered turning waste into treasure."

“Heh~” An Zhen sneered, “Absurd. Once I kill that bitch God of Light, the position of God of Light will still be mine.”

"You—" A hint of coldness and authority flashed in Lie Yan's eyes, "Insolence!"

However, she did not release any divine aura, as she did not want to be caught by the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, and thus directly interrupted the conversation.

"Do you even know what you're saying?! You told the God of Law Enforcement in the Douluo God Realm that you wanted to kill a first-level god of the Douluo God Realm. Have the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life spoiled you too much, allowing you to act so lawlessly?!"

"Who's being so lawless!" An Zhen retorted firmly. "Lie Yan, how dare you say that? What, you allow Guang Shen to help that little bastard scheme against me, but I'm not allowed to get revenge on that bitch Guang Shen afterwards!"

Blazing Flame retorted, "What you're saying is just your personal conjecture."

"How ridiculous." The last trace of politeness vanished from An Zhen's eyes. "They're all birds of a feather!"

“Since that’s what you think, then here’s what we’ll do: you shout three times to the sky, ‘It was right to kill the god Hypnos back then!’ and I’ll release the god of darkness.”

"What do you mean?" Flame asked coldly.

Anzhen's words instantly brought back painful memories of that time.

"It means I feel that talking to you now is a waste of my time," An Zhen said bluntly. "There are only two possibilities now. First, you came to me asking for people without understanding anything, then you are stupid, a dignified God-King being so easily manipulated by others. Second, when did the dignified Earth Core Queen learn to deceive like this, pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth? What, have your eyes and conscience been gouged out by the God of Slaughter, Hypnos?"

"I suppose," An Zhen said with a hint of mockery in her eyes, "it's the second one."

The flames answered with silence.

An Zhen said coldly, "The hero who slays the dragon will eventually become the dragon himself!"

"Back then, when the God of Slaughter, Xiu Pros, oppressed you and your husband, the first generation of the two great god-kings, Good and Evil, gave you a chance. But when Tang San and his wife oppressed me, after the matter was exposed, you not only pretended not to see it, but also helped those who violated the rules of the god realm in the name of so-called balance. You maintain the balance of the god realm, but you go against the justice in your hearts. Now, with the matter of the Gods of Light and Darkness, you are directly targeting me, attacking me, an innocent victim."

"Blazing Flame, what's the difference between you and the God of Slaughter, Hypnos!"

The flames remained silent.

"The God Realm is truly a mess these days," An Zhen said coldly. "It's rotten from top to bottom. The Asura God Tang San, who should be maintaining order and upholding the fairness of the God Realm's rules, is breaking the law. Not only is he doing this himself, but he also indulges his wife in this way. You, who are acting as the acting God Kings of Good and Evil, are pretending to be ignorant. As the Gods of Law Enforcement, you have made the rules of the God Realm less than a piece of toilet paper."

"You know perfectly well who broke the rules, but you pretend not to know. You don't care when Tang San violates the rules of the God Realm, you ignore when Xiao Wu, the Sea Goddess, forcibly kidnaps me, and you turn around and attack me, the victim, when the God of Light secretly helps Tang San contact the Abyss Saint King and interferes with Douluo Continent. All you want to do is act as wall-covering men, maintaining the fragile balance of the God Realm."

An Zhen took a step forward, her cold eyes fixed on Lie Yan's eyes.

"Not only that, you are even less worthy to be gods!"

"Since gods enjoy the offerings of faith, they should be the protectors of people. But the Douluo God Realm enjoys the faith and offerings of countless beings on its many inhabited planets, yet you turn a blind eye to those who are being persecuted. You adopt a superior attitude and completely ignore the suffering beings struggling in pain."

There's no such thing as taking money and not doing anything!
Perhaps the gods of other worlds are born powerful, needing no followers and following the path of laws. In that case, the saying "with great power comes great responsibility" cannot be forced upon them; after all, they haven't taken anything from you, and you can't demand anything in return. But the Douluo God Realm is different. The gods of this world enjoy the faith and offerings of all living beings. They take people's faith, yet they adopt an arrogant and condescending attitude, looking down upon humanity.

The stern, cold expression on Lieyan's face suddenly vanished, and he sighed softly, "There are rules in the divine realm..."

“Now you remember there are rules!” Anzhen interrupted her.

When doing bad things, they treat the rules like blank sheets of paper.

When it comes time to do the work, the rules come to mind again.

Moreover, there are countless ways to bypass the rules. One could send down a divine test to select a divine messenger to carry out the will of the gods and bring blessings to humanity.

He clearly doesn't want to do it!
Disgusting.

He changed the Sun and Moon Empire.

He also changed Shrek Academy.

Under his dictatorial will, the entire Douluo Continent is now developing in the way he expects.

Even the divine realm needs to be changed!
What right do deities who do nothing right have to take people's faith?
I don't know what these guys are thinking. The power of faith is clearly very useful to the gods, so why don't they show their power? Even if it's due to the rules of the divine realm, they could send down participants in the divine trials and divine messengers to spread the gods' ideas and thoughts, help people improve their lives, and lend a helping hand to those in distress. In that way, people could live better lives, and the gods could gain more and more devout faith.

A win-win situation for both God and man!
An Zhen's tone was icy. "I don't think there's any need for us to continue talking." No benefit + no pleasure = a waste of time.

“Wait a minute,” Lieyan quickly said. “Since we can’t redeem the God of Darkness, let’s talk about something else, like Xiaowu.”

Although she thought it was impossible, she still had to ask.

"Talk?" An Zhen asked, his mouth agape. "A Yin needs to exchange her position as the God of Kindness for it, and Tang Hao needs to exchange his position as the God of Evil for it."

"This is impossible!" Blazing Flame felt this was simply outrageous!
"Then Xiao Wu, Tang Hao, and A Yin will all be bundled together," An Zhen said casually, arms crossed, "in exchange for your divine positions as a couple!"

“No.” Flame shook her head. “My husband and I are merely acting as agents for the God-Kings of Good and Evil. We are not qualified to make any other decisions regarding the positions of these two God-Kings.”

This is one of the reasons.

Another reason is that if these two God-King positions were given away, what would be the point of the God Realm? It might as well be renamed the Destruction God Realm. The Destruction God lineage would have four God-Kings, while on the other side, the Asura God Tang San was still seriously injured, his Killing Intent was broken, and he had lost the Asura Demon Sword. What was the point of even trying? Even if Ji Dong brought back the first two God-Kings, one good and one evil, it wouldn't change the situation in the God Realm.

“This won’t work, that won’t work,” An Zhen snorted coldly. “Then what are you talking about?”

“Negotiations don’t go like this,” Lieyan said. “These are all things I can’t possibly agree to.”

An Zhen retorted coldly, "Aren't you the same?"

How could he possibly let Xiao Wu, the "leash" that could keep Tang San by his side, return to Tang San's side?

Lieyan looked at Anzhen and said, word by word, "If the God Realm is thrown into chaos, it will surely bring disaster to all living beings."

"This is your mistake at work." An Zhen refused to be morally coerced. "Since you knew this would happen, why didn't you join forces with your husband to destroy your teacher's life and his wife, and kill Tang San, the Asura God who could threaten all living beings!"

"..."

Lieyan gave Anzhen a deep look, then the divine power projection dissipated, and the bright yellow gemstone instantly crumbled into dust.

An Zhen sneered, "So-called gods are nothing more than more powerful people. Some of them still can't change the despicable things in their bones."

A true god should not be like this.

An Zhen raised his hand, and a crystal of faith appeared in his palm. It was a nearly round crystal, pure white, with countless facets. Numerous and complex, yet incredibly terrifying, emotional power emanated from it, as if many words full of sincere feelings were being spoken.

"A free Martial Soul Awakening! I never imagined my little dog would actually be a Soul Master with Soul Power! This is wonderful, thank you Your Majesty!"

"Mom, is this the new house His Majesty the Emperor built for us? And new clothes too! He's such a kind person!"

"Honey, I've received the relief food from the Empire, and a few sets of cotton-padded clothes too. We have hope for this winter!"

"Don't thank me, thank His Majesty the Emperor. It was His Majesty who ordered these medicines to be included in the poverty relief program."

A bag of millet, a cotton coat, and a few copper soul coins are often enough to save a life in the Douluo Continent.

The empire known as the World is improving day by day. Most people within the empire cannot stand on high ground to admire its beauty, but they can personally feel the changes in their lives: free martial spirit awakening and free compulsory education bring hope to every family. Poverty alleviation subsidies for food and clothing make this winter less harsh. Simple medicine subsidies prevent minor illnesses from becoming deadly threats.

This applies not only to ordinary people and low-level Soul Masters at the bottom. Mid-level Soul Masters no longer need to risk their lives to find suitable Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, nor do they need to worry about being persecuted by evil Soul Masters. With the further opening up of educational resources and the Empire's various talent programs, the once stagnant class system has been completely broken down, giving them opportunities for advancement. As for the upper echelons, it goes without saying that they now have access to precious Soul Spirits, Soul Armaments, even Immortal Herbs and Soul Bones, powerful Soul Tools, and top-tier teaching resources.

The power of faith flows towards Anzhen from all parts of the mainland at all times.

However, there were also some beliefs that left An Zhen speechless and helpless—"May His Majesty the Emperor bless me so that I can successfully inscribe the core magic array this time." It would be better to put in more effort himself. Although those high-level soul masters privately called him the God of Soul Guidance, he really didn't have that ability. The power of destiny could work, but it couldn't directly cover the entire continent at the moment.

It's unclear which guy spread this name, but low- to mid-level Soul Masters started calling high-level Soul Masters that, and they all began to imitate it.

The power of faith is so immense it's almost unbelievable.

The emotions of many believers are genuine.

If Anzhen is given enough time to forge her divine position, she will emerge as a first-level god, and if she has even more time, she will probably become a half-step god-king.

"This is the true god among men."

In their eyes, An Zhen was like a god.

Today, the focus of this faith has gradually shifted from its original proximity to the judgment and justice of angels and gods, and is now more focused on the concept of "humanity," because these beliefs have touched upon all aspects of human life, similar to the fate of humanity.

Anzhen pondered.

This special power of faith, with its unique properties, would be completely unusable in situations like the one used to repair the Angel God's throne, as the authority it contains is different now. Furthermore, no one else can use this power of faith to forge a divine throne. An Zhen has now devised two uses for this power of faith.

"Should we create a god-like being in the future, or should we allow the world consciousness of the Douluo plane to absorb this power of faith, which is filled with human emotions, and create a plane lord born from human faith?"

"Let it rest a little longer."

As basic needs such as food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and education continued to improve, the population also saw a significant increase, not to mention that two other continents had not yet been recovered.

If, in the future, we reach a prosperous civilization similar to that in Douluo Continent IV, where human settlements are spread across multiple planets, perhaps the power of faith would be sufficient to give birth to a human god comparable to a god-king.

An Zhen believed that the future Douluo God Realm should be like this, similar to the Heavenly Court in his previous life's myths and legends, where mortals provide faith and gods protect humanity. Of course, places like Fengxian County and Lion Camel Ridge, and similar situations, cannot occur. (End of Chapter)
