We all time-traveled at the same time, but why isn't anyone human?

Chapter 85 The Realm of Light

Warm and bright.

Tang San opened his eyes, and what he saw was a huge golden ancient tree that towered into the clouds, standing at the very center of the world.

Is that... the true form of the World Tree?

Tang San felt a little dizzy, but soon, a large number of memories from before his death flooded his mind, causing his body to tremble.

By the way, he was just fighting the Asura God and didn't even have a chance to resist before he was swallowed up and destroyed by that red light.

In the final moment before his soul dissipated, he felt drawn by a powerful force that transcended dimensions, space, and time, instantly transporting him from millions of miles away.

In Tang San's understanding, there was no one who could possess such power and such methods.

It could only be the mysterious World Tree.

"Wow, we're glowing!"

However, just as Tang San was pondering these things, Ning Rongrong, who was not far away, suddenly exclaimed and looked in the direction of Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er and others beside her, with a surprised expression.

Glowing light?

Thinking of this, Tang San immediately walked towards a puddle that was sparkling with crystal light. Through the clear, mirror-like surface of the water, he saw that his body was indeed radiating a dazzling light.

[Di Tian, ​​what exactly is going on?]

I don't know either, but if I had to put it in terms of something—it seems to be some kind of emotional force?

Inside the soul space, Di Tian was also very confused about the current state of Tang San and the others. It was one thing that they hadn't died under the attack of the Asura God, but how did they turn into strange glowing objects?

Is this also the work of the World Tree? What does this light represent?

While Tang San and the others were puzzled, some female soul beast wielders were already discussing in private how they had survived.

A voice that everyone was intimately familiar with echoed in the center of the world.

"Welcome back, chosen children."

The voice was calm and peaceful, carrying a warm feeling of encompassing all things.

Upon hearing this voice, even the coldest-natured Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but reveal a smile that seemed to melt away like ice and snow, and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's World Tree!"

"The World Tree! I knew it! The World Tree saved us!"

"Hmph, those so-called Asura Gods and Gods of Slaughter are not even ants in front of Lord World Tree."

"World Tree, please let us go to the Nine Worlds to cultivate one more time. After we become stronger, we will definitely be able to defeat those gods."

""

In the World Tree plane, all the Soul Beast Envoys looked towards the golden ancient tree at the very center and spoke from the bottom of their hearts.

The few children whose fates were changed because of their identity as "Soul Beast Masters" have an almost fanatical faith in Lu Ping. Their worship and dependence on the World Tree far outweigh their fear of the Asura God.

Looking at the group of children who had just gone through a tough battle, Lu Ping smiled. Only he knew what had just happened.

Just as the Asura God's attack was about to land, he used the marks on the children as a catalyst, employing the power of the [Dimensional Evil God] to instantly teleport them to the World Tree plane, even their physical bodies. "Children, this time, you have done very well."

"However, a person's emotional capacity is limited, and for you, this is already the limit."

"To gain the power to defeat the gods, you need a new power."

"A new force?"

Upon hearing the World Tree's words, the Soul Beast Masters all showed confused expressions and looked in its direction.

"hope."

A glowing humanoid phantom slowly emerged, and Lu Ping smiled as he uttered the word to the chosen children.

Yes, I hope so.

A few hours earlier, after obtaining a fragment of the God of Slaughter's soul and learning about the mechanisms of godhood, he immediately went to the shared space and punched Leomon Lupi from the Digital World.

Using the idealistic technology of the Digital World, Leomon Lupin quickly figured out the source of the power of "divine position" and "faith" and proposed a new concept.

A ray of hope.

In a year of life-or-death struggle, the potential of the first generation of Chosen Children has been almost completely exhausted.

Everyone, including Tang San, has experienced at least several life-or-death crises. Even the children with the strongest emotional power can hardly generate emotional fluctuations now, which would allow the soul beast to continue to evolve.

But there is one kind of emotional power that is not included in this category.

That is hope.

"Whether it is positive emotions such as courage, honesty, love, and innocence, or negative emotions such as sloth, anger, lust, and pride, they are all forces within a person."

"No matter how much a person develops exceptionally, or how idealistic they are, it still consumes their potential. Their upper limit may be high, but their lower limit is unstable."

"However, the emotional power of hope can be placed in others."

"When hope is ignited in thousands of people, the light in everyone's heart will converge on the person in their heart who can bring hope."

"At that time, the combined willpower of countless individuals could create an unlimited path to godhood!"

In the same space, the lion beast Lu Ping looked at Gu Zhu Lu Ping triumphantly and said with a smile.

"Just like Shining Tiga in the Ultraman world, the light in children's hearts can inspire Tiga's infinite power."

"And your chosen children," as long as they become hope in the hearts of others, can gather the light of hope and push the evolution of idealism to a stronger stage.

The eyes of the lion beast Lu Ping gleamed with anticipation. Although Lu Ping from the Ultraman world had not yet crossed over to the same space, it did not prevent them from creating a group of "Ultraman Warriors" in other worlds first.

"Fine, fine, so that year I was the one who benefited from the loan sharking, and now I've become the one who collects all the loan sharking interest, right?"

Gu Zhu Lu Ping laughed and punched the lion beast Lu Ping, completely agreeing with this genius idea.

Traditional gods are rigid, outdated, and have fixed their divine positions, failing to keep up with the times. Their upper limit is extremely low, and their lower limit is also just so-so.

The new God is ambitious and enterprising, without limiting divine positions or beliefs, and unhindered by the times. Anyone can become light as long as they have hope in their hearts.

"As we all know, the Douluo Universe may seem calm and peaceful, but upon closer inspection, it is actually a dark world where battle royale is everywhere."

"Among the 108 planes under its jurisdiction, ambitious individuals, evil forces, and world-ending crises emerge one after another. The gods are less efficient than the relevant departments. They only act quickly when they see a beast becoming a god."

"Not to mention the places that the Douluo God System can't reach, like the Abyss Plane and the Crimson Galaxy. Tsk tsk tsk, to be honest, with such a worldview, their God Kings are still obsessed with love every day. They're either thinking about how to descend to the mortal realm to fall in love (good and evil God Kings), or thinking about getting rid of their Godhood and retiring (the Asura God). They are truly unworthy of their positions."

Gu Zhu Lu Ping complained with a displeased expression. To be honest, he had been annoyed by these love-obsessed people in the Douluo God Realm for a long time.

Beneath the seemingly calm surface of the Douluo Universe, in the hidden shadows, things are far more turbulent than they appear; the villains are practically ready to poop on the face of a god.

The Dionysian Plane, the Celestial Jewel Plane, the Abyss Plane—which of these planes doesn't face a few god-level crises?

Not to mention the other six divine realms that will soon be merged, as well as the Dragon Horse Galaxy, the Farlan Star, and so on.

Even more so, hidden beneath the throne of the Divine Seal is the ultimate being of the level of a creator god, Austin Griffin, the god of divine retribution.

However, the gods in the divine realm were idle all day long and felt very bored.

Aside from the fact that becoming a god as a spirit beast makes them a little more serious, they'll still dance and date even if the sky falls down.

That's ridiculous.

and so.

As the World Tree, Gu Zhu Lu Ping wants to revolutionize the Douluo Universe and create a plane that transcends the God Star. What he needs to do now is to teach those guys who are doing nothing in the God Realm.

What would it take to be called a "god"?

Let's return to the present.

"The power of hope can create all miracles, and the light emanating from you is the hope that others placed in you during the battle just now."

"You are about to face a brand new trial, a path that will lead you from 'mortal' to 'god'!"

"For a long time to come, you will be venturing into unfamiliar worlds, embarking on adventures with the goal of gathering hope."

"Are you willing?"

Lu Ping's lips curled into a slight smile as he looked at the group of first-generation chosen children in front of him, his face filled with hope.

This is just the beginning.

The Douluo God Realm encompasses 108 planes, tens of thousands of subordinate planes, and more than ten star systems, the Dragon Horse Star System, and the Faran Star, which were once under the jurisdiction of the Divine Dragon Realm, among others.

He would send people there to save millions of people from suffering, gather the power of hope, and evolve infinitely.

He wants to transform Douluo Star into a realm of light and hope.

The branches of the World Tree grew into nine worlds, which became the trial realms for the children of the gods.

When the children of God grow to a certain stage, they will break free from the embrace of the World Tree Father and travel to countless planes to save all living beings and forge their own divine positions with the light of hope.

"willing."

The first to step forward was Zhu Zhuqing, who had a fervent adoration for Lu Ping. Her fate was drastically altered by the Dark Demon God Tiger that Lu Ping bestowed upon her. She would unconditionally agree with anything her beloved World Tree father said.

"This battle made me realize my own weakness, and it also made me realize that my emotional power has reached its limit."

Zhu Zhuqing gazed in the direction of the World Tree and said with a bitter expression.

Yes.

In the final moments before being destroyed by the Asura God, the Soul Beast Masters present all felt an intense life-or-death crisis.

No matter how hard they tried to unleash their inner power, they couldn't make the soul beast evolve again.

This means that their path of harnessing their own emotional power has come to an end.

If the World Tree hadn't opened up a new path for them, they would probably have spent the next few decades accumulating soul power and spiritual power until they reached the limit of their ultimate form.

Although this path is not weak, Zhu Zhuqing and others have the potential to become God Kings.

However, it is still quite different from the future that the World Tree hoped for.

not enough.

not enough.

Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and said stubbornly.

"As long as I can become stronger and spread the light of the World Tree to the world, I am willing to embark on a journey with the Dark Demon God Tiger and face unknown new adventures."

"I'm willing too."

As Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Hu Yanli, and others also stepped forward, their faces showing resolute expressions.

Their fate was changed by the World Tree, and they also acknowledged the path the World Tree opened up for them.

Since the "gods" of the Douluo world have denied their existence, they will use their own power to create their own divine positions to show those gods.

"it is good."

Seeing the Soul Beast Envoys step forward one by one, Lu Ping nodded in satisfaction. With a wave of his right hand, he divided the Soul Beast Envoys into several different areas and opened several portals leading to other dimensions.

"Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan—and others, the world you are going to is called the 'Heavenly Jewel Change' plane. There, there exists a god-level being called the 'Lord of the Underworld,' and the plane itself is plagued by war, famine, death, and plague year after year."

"I want you to bring hope to the people of this plane, to end war, to fight evil, to establish order, and finally—"

Defeat the invading gods, and unite the divine throne with the light of hope for all living beings.

Lu Ping, in the form of a phantom of light, spoke softly to Zhu Zhuqing and the others.

The Heavenly Jewel Dimension, located not too far from Douluo Star, has a final boss, the "Lord of the Underworld," who possesses strength comparable to a second-level god. However, he lacks a divine position and is generally weaker than the God of Slaughter.

However, the greatest test they face is not the Lord of the Underworld.

It was not a pursuit by the Douluo God Realm.

"I will not help you conceal your presence during this test. You may be fine for the first period after you embark on the Heavenly Pearl Transformation, but once you create a significant disturbance, you will definitely attract the pursuit of the gods."

"That will be the time to test whether your 'hope' is sufficient."

"Yes."

Upon hearing Lu Ping's words, Zhu Zhuqing and the others nodded in unison and stepped into the teleportation portal without any hesitation.

They were once saved by the World Tree, and their lives were changed by the help of their soul beast companions.

And now.

It's their turn to save others.

"Ma Hongjun, Oscar—and others, the world you are going to is called the Dionysus Plane. There, a fierce war is raging simultaneously between the inner world and the surface world. The two rulers of the inner world are close to third-level gods in strength, while the Dark Five Elements Continent and the Light Five Elements Continent of the surface world are also engaged in a constant war. The strongest among them are close to third-level gods in strength, incredibly powerful."

"I want you to completely end the endless war in the Dionysian plane, establish a new order, and at the same time, deal with the upcoming invading god-level powerhouses, and use the power of hope to gather godhood."

Lu Ping's illusory figure of light spoke again in the direction of Ma Hongjun and the others.

At this time, the "Blazing Flame" of the Dionysian plane had not yet been born. The two strongest Holy Kings on the surface and the two strongest Flame Kings in the inner world were only around the third-level god level.

Although they were not as strong as the Lord of the Underworld in terms of "quality", their numbers were astonishing, with a total of four god-level powerhouses.

Furthermore, the constant and brutal wars have made the powerful beings in the Dionysian plane very experienced in combat, and their actual combat ability is even slightly stronger than their theoretical strength.

In comparison, the difficulty they face in pacifying the Dionysian plane is not much less than that in the Heavenly Pearl Shift plane.

"Finally, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others, you will remain on Douluo Continent. I want you to resolve all the remaining issues of the Slaughter City, Sun Moon Continent, and the ocean under the close surveillance and pursuit of the God Realm, so as to create a Douluo Continent full of order for future generations."

"Of course, your final task is to defeat the gods who are hunting you down in the lower realms and use the power of hope to solidify your divine positions."

Lu Ping's last glance was at Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others. A sly glint flashed in his eyes, and he smiled slightly.

To be honest, the task he finally assigned to Tang San and the others was not to test his strength, but to test his way of thinking and whether he truly understood what "hope" meant.

In the original story, Tang San seemingly destroyed the Slaughter City and killed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King out of kindness, but in reality, he left behind a terrible hidden danger for future generations. The calamity of evil soul masters and demon emperors caused countless people to lose their homes and lives.

This kind of kindness is simple and mindless, without considering the consequences. It is more like "emotional" than "kindness," acting on impulse without any regard for the consequences.

Clearly, this approach of killing without burying is unlikely to win the people's hopes; it will only provoke hatred.

If Tang San truly intends to rely on the power of hope to condense his divine position, he must carefully consider how to resolve the issues of the Slaughter City, the ocean, and...

What is the correct approach to addressing these issues concerning the Sun and Moon Continent?

Only by truly resolving these hidden dangers can he grow into a "god" who is different from the original work and truly responsible.

(PS: There will be another chapter around midnight. I will try to update twice a day from now on.)
