Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 422: The Ascension System Full of Doubts

"Because I had a little conflict with my colleagues in the God Realm, I will spend the next few hundred years in Douluo Continent. If your talent and performance can satisfy me, I don't mind giving you some extra guidance."

"But it's better to be greedy for more titles, so you should complete the first test first. At your current age, it is most important for you to improve your basic attributes now."

The God of Pride took out a fruit from his sleeve, took two casual bites, looked at Chen Ming who was staring at him eagerly, and took out another similar fruit from his sleeve and threw it over.

Although this fruit comes from the God Realm, it is not a precious treasure. It is just a fruit that has been nourished by the spirit of the immortals. For a god-level being, it does not have much growth, but the taste is not bad, so the God of Pride came to the lower world and the God of Gluttony specially sent him a bunch.

For the arrogant god who does not indulge in food, these fruits are actually not precious.

Chen Ming wiped the fruit, took a bite, and felt a stream of immortal energy melting in his mouth and then being absorbed by his body. Just feeling the energy intensity in the juice, Chen Ming suddenly remembered a question that he had never understood.

"Senior, there is one thing I can't figure out about gods and godhood. Could you explain it to me?"

"Ask me. I won't tell you anything that's too taboo or that you shouldn't know nowadays. For the rest, I'll answer based on my mood."

The words of the God of Pride sounded somewhat like he was looking for trouble, but he actually had no ill intentions.

"According to the basic information about the God Realm that the God King of Destruction gave me, our Douluo World can already be considered a rare high-energy plane in the universe. But even so, according to the God Realm's ability system, the lowest-level priests and law enforcers in the God Realm have the power of level 100 in our plane."

"Based on this, how did gods appear in those planes with lower energy levels than our Douluo World? Is the energy in those planes really enough to cultivate god-level beings?"

"That's a good question. You've already thought of this better than most of the rigid-minded idiots in the God Realm."

The God of Pride gave an arrogant smile and began to explain to Chen Ming.

"There is a difference between becoming a god on one's own and being a successor. There is also a difference between a god-level life and a god with a godly throne. A godly throne is a special treasure, a limitation of the laws of the universe."

"Compared to your world, the energy level limit of many worlds is equivalent to your world's level 79 or 89. Logically speaking, it is impossible to give birth to a god-level existence."

"But." When the God of Pride said this, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have talked about some old stories about the Dragon God, so he paused for a moment and then continued.

"But nothing is absolute. There are many divine realms in the universe, and the rules of our divine realm include rules about the divine position. This is something that a powerful god added to the divine realm after reaching a powerful realm. It is beneficial for those worlds with insufficient energy levels to breed divine beings."

"Some worlds have an upper limit of 79, but some powerful and gifted individuals can reach level 80. Such individuals who have almost surpassed the limits of the plane will be difficult to be killed or destroyed by the forces within the plane. When these beings gather the power of faith, they can gradually forge the prototype of the godhood."

"There is a huge gap between such a world and the god level, but under the cover of the rules of the divine world, these special beings can condense the most crude and least growth-prone prototype of a priest through faith, and then gain contact with the divine world."

"In this case, the god in charge of the God Realm Center will send other priests and law enforcers to the lower world to guide such beings, and finally use the power of the God Realm Center to perfect the condensed semi-god position. However, the strength of the god position forged in this way is only that of a priest, and the upper limit of its growth is not high." "The energy level of the God Realm is extremely high. The upper limit of the realm of these ascended priests is equivalent to the strength of the god position forged by themselves. After the god position is integrated into the God Realm Center, its own energy will be directly increased to the upper limit of the current realm."

"This is also why gods can appear in low-energy planes. It's just that the laws of those low-energy planes are often imperfectly developed and have limited energy, so the upper limit of gods that appear is only priests."

"But, doesn't it mean that the priests don't have to do anything after they ascend? Because they rely on the power of the God Realm to complete the creation of the God's throne, the priests must continue to complete the tasks assigned by the God Realm after they ascend, and obtain the immortal spirit and the power of faith to report back to the God Realm Center first."

"Only after making up for the power owed when you ascended and paying back a portion of the interest, can the priest continue to accumulate power and improve."

"But even so, there are actually only a few who can grow from a priest or a divine law enforcer to a third-level god. There is even no second-level god."

"I personally think that the interest rate set by the God Realm in this regard may be a little high."

Listening to the words of the God of Pride, Chen Ming always felt that something was wrong.

According to the normal routine of fantasy novels, after the level of the current map reaches its upper limit, shouldn't you directly switch to the next map with a higher level upper limit?
Why did he feel that the rules of the divine world were more like blocking the conventional methods of changing maps, directly cutting off the paths of geniuses who were originally qualified to continue growing in other planes, and then forcibly bringing them into their own system?

Those geniuses who were born in low-level planes but were able to break the upper limit of the planes would be able to achieve great growth even if they were placed in another map with a higher energy level. In any case, they would not be trapped in the position of priests forever.

Just like the genius who fell in the Dou Qi plane can finally become the master of the Endless Fire Domain.

And according to common sense, existence that transcends the limits of the world plane should lead to a further round of evolution of the world. For example, through their own research, they can make the energy system of the plane more detailed and easier to cultivate, or simply improve the energy level of the world. Over generations, the plane can be upgraded to a stronger level bit by bit.

Wouldn't this method of directly absorbing talents cause the evolution of the plane to slow down or even stagnate?
And why did he take out a loan to work while he was talking? The strongest person in the plane owed a sum of energy to the God Realm Center. After ascending, he worked like a slave to repay the loan from the God Realm, and then he could continue to improve his realm. How could this sound a bit strange?

No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like a student loan from a beautiful country! Will the priests with bad luck and weaker strength be unable to repay the power they owed when they ascended until retirement?
The rules made by powerful gods after they reached a powerful state
This description made Chen Ming think of the Dragon God and the words left by the Fire Dragon King before his death.

Don't believe in the Dragon God, the Dragon God is the biggest liar.

What did the Dragon God deceive? How many lies did he tell? Is the Ascension System of the God Realm itself part of the Dragon God’s lies and conspiracy?

One day in the divine realm is equivalent to one year in the lower realm. Is this a limitation of the rules themselves, or is it set up in advance by someone?
One year in the God Realm is hundreds of years in the Lower Planes. After more than ten years in the God Realm, the connection between the gods who ascended to the God Realm and the Lower Planes is severed, and they will no longer invest extra energy in the plane they ascended to, but instead attribute their belonging to the God Realm.

Are these things accidental or intentional?

How did the Dragon God become a god in the first place? Did he rely on his own abilities to break through his life level to the god level and then create the God Realm, and then rely on the faith of the dragon clan to build the position of the Dragon God, or did he rely on faith to build the position of the god and then raise his strength to the god level?
