Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 375 The End of Dharma Era, An Abnormal Godhood

The horn beeped, and Shi Yu quickly moved aside as a speeding car passed in front of him.

The people on the bus stared at him with strange looks, as if they were looking at a country bumpkin.

Shi Yu compared his own attire with the other person's, and the difference was obvious. Compared to them, his own attire seemed rather plain.

With a thought, he vanished from the spot and appeared atop a building that might be hundreds of meters high, where he observed the entire city.

The city is extremely high-tech; even the floor beneath his feet feels technologically advanced.

"Such barren energy of heaven and earth." Shi Yu quickly recovered from his surprise at the technology and carefully sensed the energy of the environment. He could clearly feel the difference between the energy during the Peerless Tang Sect era.

The energy concentration is probably only about one-third of that during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era, which is still quite a difference.

This means that the same person might have advanced three levels in a year ten thousand years ago, but here they might only advance one level in a year, or even not reach level one at all.

This cannot be simply done by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The influence of only one-third of the energy concentration during the Peerless Tang Sect period may involve many aspects.

"Is this what is commonly referred to as the Dharma-ending Age?" Shi Yu murmured.

If things continue like this, one day in the future, energy may no longer exist in this world. At that time, Soul Masters will also cease to exist, and the fantasy world may directly transform into the modern world, where cultivators will no longer exist.

"Was it a natural occurrence or did something happen?" Shi Yu was very curious about the specifics.

If that's the real situation, then there's nothing that can be done. Sometimes, changes in the environment are beyond human control; even deities cannot prevent drastic changes in the environment.

Ultimately, even gods are created by the great environment of heaven and earth. Nature can make you a god or a useless person. What is truly powerful is heaven and earth itself.

Of course, this could also be due to some human factors, but he doesn't know the specifics; he still knows too little about this world.

"We need to figure out what's going on in this world first," Shi Yu pondered.

The simplest and most direct way is to ask someone from this era.

He took a step forward and disappeared, only to reappear a minute later with someone else.

"Spare me, spare me!" the man begged in fear, terrified.

"Answer my questions seriously and I'll let you go, otherwise..." Shi Yu released his Dark Gold Terror Claw and pressed it against his neck.

"I promise I will answer truthfully and I will never lie," the man said, terrified.

After questioning Xiao for more than ten minutes, he knocked him unconscious and sat down to ponder.

This time point is about 100,000 years away from the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era, which may correspond to the age limit of his soul rings. His previous guess was correct.

This era is almost 80,000 years later than the era Lan Xuanyu lived in, so it's normal that the technology was more advanced.

In fact, the technology of this era has been stuck in a bottleneck for tens of thousands of years. Technology was about the same as it was 60,000 to 70,000 years ago. Technological development in many areas has reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to make further progress.

Even if some breakthroughs are achieved, they are only breakthroughs in small areas; no major technological breakthroughs have been made.

As for Soul Masters, the number of Soul Masters in this era has decreased compared to the Douluo Continent II: The Legend of the Condor Heroes era. Even if there are some, their strength is generally weak. After all, given the environment, it is extremely difficult to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo. There are no more than ten Title Douluos on this planet.

This planet is not Douluo Star, but Tianluo Star, the second habitable planet discovered by the Federation. Although becoming a Title Douluo is quite difficult, gods still exist in this world. Gods are born on Tianluo Star, with one god appearing approximately every thousand years. Just about ten years ago, a god appeared on Tianluo Star.

"If even they struggle to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo, how can gods be born? Are those who become gods so talented?" Shi Yu frowned, this was something he couldn't understand, and he felt there must be something wrong with it.

This is completely illogical.

That person's knowledge was also limited, so he certainly couldn't answer his question.

"Could this change in the environment be related to the gods born every thousand years?"

Shi Yu made a bold guess, but he had no direction at the moment and could only guess wildly.

If the changes in the environment are due to human factors, then they may be related to these deities.

He simply didn't believe that such a natural environment could give birth to gods. How high must these people's talents be? Any one of them in the Douluo Continent II: The Legend of the Condor Heroes era could rival Huo Yuhao.
The possibility is still extremely slim, and it's not very realistic given the current environment.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess might be more in line with reality, otherwise it wouldn't be that a god would appear almost every thousand years.

"If that's really the case, isn't that a bit like draining the pond to catch all the fish? Doesn't the divine realm care?"

"Or is it possible that the divine realm is behind this?" Shi Yu frowned.

It's more likely that the divine realm was aware of this and was involved in driving it.

After all, becoming a god requires the permission of the divine realm. Without the permission of the divine realm, how could one do such a thing?

There should be two god realms now, one is the original Douluo God Realm, and the other is probably the Dragon God Realm created by Lan Xuanyu. These two god realms are able to coexist harmoniously because of the relationship between Lan Xuanyu, Tang San, and Tang Wulin.

Not having learned enough from this person, Shi Yu went to capture another Soul Master to inquire.

When facing him, this Soul Master was no different from an ordinary person.

"This Soul Master's level is pretty much inflated; it feels about the same as the Soul Venerables from the Douluo Continent era."

Under Shi Yu's pressure, this person dared not hide anything and spoke frankly and without reservation, wishing he could say more to increase his chances of survival.

Shi Yu learned a lot more from this Soul Master.

With the overall decline in the level of Soul Masters, the status of Soul Masters in this era has dropped significantly.

Ordinary people can defeat Soul Masters with the help of intelligent Soul Tools. If the Soul Tools they use are advanced enough, ordinary people can even defeat Title Douluo.

In this era, mechs have become the mainstream of military force, and yellow-level and purple-level mechs have entered ordinary people's homes.

Red-level mechs don't require much money; even the top five richest people in a small town can afford one.

Furthermore, there is virtually no barrier to operation; ordinary people can easily master it, and you don't even need to pilot it, as the mech is highly intelligent and can fight on its own.

The widespread adoption of mechs is a key factor contributing to the significant decline in the status of Soul Masters.

You've trained diligently for years, but an ordinary person piloting a mecha can defeat you. What's the point of training then?
