Time flies, and three years have passed.
With the return of the River of Oblivion, the tense atmosphere between the nations dissipated. Subsequently, countless technologies flowed out from the River of Oblivion, and the world changed rapidly. New floating cities were built, connecting various regions and consolidating the authority of the River of Oblivion.
Furthermore, the 'Primordial Realm' gradually became known to the general public of Soul Masters, and more and more people began to enter it to spar with their peers or project into the abyss, both to earn merit for the expansion of the God Realm's conquests and to hone their own skills.
Even more shocking is the 'Descendants of the Gods' event, in which one after another true god was banished to the mortal realm by that unspeakable being, and then settled in key locations around the world, establishing divine kingdoms on earth and managing the spiritual energy and ley lines of the land.
Furthermore, there are supreme deities who harmonize the yin and yang of the world. The new sea god has moved to the ocean to coordinate the world's water veins, and the new angels have gone deep into the sun to control its radiance and nourish all things. Even Rakshasa, death, and others have been sent by Su Ming to the underworld to take charge.
After several years of consolidation and reform in the divine realm, there are now very few divine officials left, and all of them have been granted certain powers to descend to the mortal world.
Su Ming adopted a combination of Western and Eastern authoritarian laws, which are quite different. Douluo Continent is basically based on the Western pantheon, including the Mad God World and the benevolent Death God World that are constantly approaching it.
The Western division of power emphasizes extremes and unconventional approaches, taking one major path to its extreme. For example, the sea god is almost omnipotent in his power over the ocean and water, surpassing all other gods.
Eastern authority emphasizes comprehensiveness and territorial division. Even a minor local deity has various powers such as "entering dreams," "harvest," and "death," but these are limited to a certain territory and are more like a minor creator within their prescribed authority.
Su Ming removed the unnecessary and burdensome powers of those third-level deities, such as the gods of nobility and the gods of etiquette, and gave them the position of City God, who was stationed at key ley lines on the continent.
At this moment, the Underworld is rapidly expanding, encroaching upon the Abyss. The spiritual energy of the Human Realm is harmonizing and rising rapidly, with geniuses constantly emerging and one after another becoming a Title Douluo. Meanwhile, the God Realm is also expanding continuously under the influence of the two realms.
Standing tall in the realm of gods, Su Ming gazed down at the mortal world. The endless mountains and rivers and the vast underworld came into view. Wisps of brilliant momentum rose up, and small forces gradually gathered together, eventually forming a mighty force.
"A great era has arrived, and the years of waiting will finally be worthwhile." Su Ming sighed. Only now has the world regained some of its ancient glory. The world is drawing power from chaos and the abyss, rapidly healing and even moving towards ascension.
Ten years into the Hongmeng calendar.
As the great era gradually emerges, the masses and gods, moved by the rapid changes, decide to restart the calendar, setting the moment when the River of Oblivion returns from the abyss as the first year of the Hongmeng Calendar.
Of course, the name Hongmeng was decided after intense discussion. Initially, the gods, in their eagerness to enlighten Suming, called it the Divine King Calendar or the Underworld Venerable Calendar, but these were politely declined. So they changed it to Hongmeng, corresponding to the great creation known as the 'Hongmeng Realm'.
Su Ming's thoughts could change the world, but his own cultivation never lagged behind. He gathered the power of the underworld, the human world, and the divine world to empower himself, with superior spiritual energy flowing in continuously. In addition, he absorbed the inspiration of all living beings, and once again took more than a dozen steps towards the True God Realm, almost reaching the limit.
In just a few years, Su Ming refined his two martial souls, forging them into two true forms. He also borrowed the ring-exploding technique from the Great Sumeru Hammer, shattering the ten divine rings of each martial soul one by one, transforming them into the purest profound meanings and integrating them into the true forms, thus forging the Hundred Scriptures of the Furnace.
Originally, Su Ming had difficulty mastering his complex system and soul skills, and many of his soul skills were not up to par with his cultivation level. The benefit of doing this is to simplify dozens of trivial soul skills into one, making the complex simple, organizing them completely, and reaching the supreme Dao.
Besides, soul skills are ultimately derived from soul beasts, not from one's own abilities and profound mysteries. Once one reaches the level of a true god, one must develop one's own unique abilities, change, and forge one's own path.
This is the Martial Soul Transformation [True Form]. The True Form contains the essence of the Martial Soul, Soul Rings, and even Bloodline. It can be released to fight independently, just like the original body, or it can be integrated into the body to release the [True Body], unleashing supreme power with every move.
Therefore, Su Ming thought long and hard and named this realm "Primordial Realm", which means that all ages return to one origin and all laws return to the beginning.
From then on, Soul Saints, Soul Douluos, and Title Douluos were unified into the [Saint Body Realm], which is the study of the Dao of Runes, the forging of spiritual energy organs, the sculpting of the supreme Saint Body, and the raising of the upper limit of the power of the Soul Saint system. After that, Su Ming opened up the [True God Realm] (Dao Principle Realm) and the [Primordial Realm], which are inherited from each other. They no longer require divine positions and authority, and are different from the path of gods. They are the true path of the Soul Master system.
However, once he reached this level, all of Douluo's accumulated resources were exhausted, and climbing further would be extremely difficult.
Chapter 338 Ascending to the Heavens (Grand Finale)
The fifteenth year of the Hongmeng calendar.
The gods of Douluo Continent commanded the Pantheon, while powerful mortals drove several floating cities, pouring out their accumulated wealth of over a decade to conquer all directions and spread their influence throughout the universe.
One by one, smaller planes were conquered, and one after another, true gods took over their duties, gradually merging them with the Douluo main plane. The area grew larger and larger, the concentration of spiritual energy gradually increased, and various resources were produced one after another.
The Douluo Continent is beginning to recover to its ancient glory. These lower planes were originally part of Douluo, but they were completely separated after several great wars in the primordial and ancient times.
Su Ming didn't get involved in any of these matters. He sat in the Divine Court, cultivating his Daoist arts and accumulating his foundation. He silently observed the changes in the world and let his subordinate gods conquer the universe.
The way of gathering the masses, once established, is a mighty and unstoppable force, but it takes time; we must wait patiently.
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed. In the twentieth year of the Hongmeng calendar, Su Xuan'er officially stepped into the True God Realm, inherited the position of the Asura God, took charge of the supervisory authority, and became Su Ming's right-hand woman.
In addition, many geniuses emerged on the Path of Oblivion, such as Ma Xiaotao, Bei Bei, Xiao Xiao, and Su Qingyi, who all grew up and successively stepped into the True God Realm. The gods of the Pantheon were renewed and the regime was peacefully transformed.
As for Huo Yuhao, the once unparalleled genius of the Soul Master realm, he gradually fell silent. He had already learned about what had happened in the God Realm and felt caught in the middle, so he forcibly took Tang Wutong, who wanted revenge, back to the Star Dou realm. He then went into seclusion with his mother-in-law, A Yin, and the three of them returned to the Star Dou realm, never to be seen again.
In the twenty-fifth year of the Hongmeng Calendar, the stars and constellations began to stir. A powerful aura swept across the world, overwhelming everything with unparalleled might. It even reached the peak of the God-King level, just half a step away from stepping into the Primordial Realm.
The world was astonished. Apart from Su Ming, no ancient god had ever stepped above the level of a true god in decades of accumulation. Who was this person? His cultivation was extraordinary.
Roar!
A deep and mighty dragon roar soared into the sky, and silver ripples transformed into a vast ocean covering the Starry Sky Forest. The immense spiritual power blurred a world, preventing the gods from spying on the core of the stars.
In the brilliant silver light, a graceful and elegant silver-haired goddess with a cold and aloof temperament stepped into the void. She wore a long silver dress, exuding unparalleled beauty and a powerful aura, like a supreme ruler of a clan.
Someone saw it from an endless distance and exclaimed with surprise, "So it's this person."
"She's stronger than before, no weaker than the former Nine-Colored Dragon God. What's rare is that she evolved to this level purely through the power of creation," commented Destruction. He was a contemporary of the Dragon God and had interacted with her, making him the most qualified to offer his assessment.
"She's appearing now... wait, what's she doing? She's coming over, could it be that she wants to settle scores with the gods who attacked back then?" Someone saw the astonishing scene and said uneasily.
The Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts, strode forward with composure and elegance, yet quickly approached the Divine Court. He stepped inside. In this era, the Divine Realm was already empty, as the gods had been banished to the mortal realm, entering various planes and drawing upon the origins of the worlds to merge into one.
Her eyes turned slightly cold, and she looked like she was about to charge into the Divine Court with murderous intent.
Some people are feeling guilty. Although Su Ming has repeatedly emphasized the need to make reasonable use of Star Dou Soul Beast resources since the development of artificial Soul Rings, there are still people who want to go deep into the area to hunt for convenience, and the number of them is increasing.
On one hand, the overwhelming power of the human race deterred the Star Dou ferocious beasts from interfering. On the other hand, the overall number of Soul Masters had increased more than tenfold. Even if only a very small number of people persisted in hunting Soul Beasts, it was still a huge demand. These were the worst students among the Soul Masters who couldn't learn the Way of Runes, so they resorted to this desperate measure.
The living space in the Star Dou Forest was squeezed to the extreme, many ancient beasts withered away, and the soul beast race gradually retreated. Therefore, after the Silver Dragon King merged his two lives and reached the peak, he was furious at this situation and demanded an explanation.
She made a powerful entrance, and the priests and guards were either sent flying or collapsed to the ground. They had no chance against a peerless god-king. The Silver Dragon King stood with her hands behind her back, exuding an overwhelming aura, and was about to step into the core of the god realm.
The divine court was peaceful and serene, with orchids and magnolias everywhere, fragrant flowers, ancient herbs growing on the rocky cliffs, and pure white mist reaching up to one's knees. Auspicious beasts appeared and auspicious birds flew about.
Beside a golden lake, a young Taoist priest, shrouded in jade mist and radiating clear light, sat upright, holding a jade pole that wafted into the lake water as clear as crystal amber.
The boy had exquisite features, gentle and pure eyes, and flawless white skin, like a celestial being descended to earth. Upon seeing him, the Silver Dragon King couldn't help but show a strange expression.
"Gu Yuena, you're here! It's been a long time." Su Ming's calm, clear voice rang out.
She nodded, then shook her head and said, "I'm here, but I'm not Gu Yuena."
The Silver Dragon King spoke coldly as she looked at a dragon loach in the golden lake, which was being casually whipped by the boy. Its fine, golden scales were brilliant and shimmered with light, but under the pressure of the jade pole, it swam in a sorry state, as if it were an ant being teased.
At first glance, the Silver Dragon King didn't notice anything, but after a second look, his eyes widened in shock, followed by an angry expression as he said, "God, how do you explain yourself? As a powerful being, you made things difficult for a mere Golden Dragon King, and even allowed Soul Masters to slaughter Star Dou."
Su Ming remained silent. He glanced at the Silver Dragon King and pondered in his heart. Gu Yuena would never call him God. This was a respectful title that was circulating outside. This man's behavior was different from Gu Yuena's all along. Could it be that she really disappeared in the struggle?
"Star Dou Soul Beasts cannot be humiliated. How can the Golden Dragon King, as a deity, be reduced to a mudfish and teased by others? Today I have come to demand an explanation." The Silver Dragon King exuded a majestic aura and possessed a cold and beautiful appearance.
Su Ming suddenly laughed and said calmly, "Do you know? After I pacified the God Realm, I saw it in a sealed place. I kindly unsealed it and sent it back to the mortal world. As a result, the golden dragon was born, devouring the living beings of a region, and the raging fire burned and burned thousands of miles of land."
The Silver Dragon King remained silent. Her 'brother' held the power of destruction, and her mind was corrupted by his aura. After being sealed away for tens of thousands of years, she was filled with unbearable loneliness and resentment. It was not surprising that she did such a thing.
"Then what about the Star Dou Soul Beast being hunted down?" the silver-haired goddess suddenly asked, her eyes cold. She knew in her heart that it was ultimately because the Soul Beast was not strong enough, so she decisively took action to prove herself.
Rumble!
Having survived countless calamities, the Silver Dragon King was reborn in a second life, unifying the two major systems and achieving unparalleled power. He was worthy of being called the strongest God King, no weaker than Tang San in his prime.
Unfortunately, Su Ming remained calm. He extended a flawless white hand and exchanged a few blows with her, sending her flying far away. The place where she landed was calm and undisturbed.
"This?!" She couldn't believe it, then gritted her teeth and decided to risk everything to pave a way forward for the soul beast race, no matter what.
With a buzzing sound, a dazzling primordial spirit emerged from the body, holding a crystal-clear seven-colored heart in its mouth. Tiny yet radiating endless light, its immense spiritual power soared into the sky. The Silver Dragon King abandoned everything and entered Su Ming's brow with its ultimate spiritual power, engaging in a final battle in the dangerous realm of the soul.
Su Ming's eyes flickered, and a barely perceptible mark appeared and disappeared between his brows. In the vast sea of his mind, the boy's soul almost instantly suppressed Gu Yuena.
He looked at Gu Yuena's soul, and a familiar aura spread out. He smiled: "You really didn't perish. How could the new system I created fail?"
Gu Yuena achieved a complete victory in her struggle against her original self. It wasn't a compromise or a forced fusion of the two, but a complete replacement. In the abyss, in addition to the energy core, she successively condensed the blood and qi core and the spiritual core. The Great Dao of Runes was sublimated to its ultimate level, and she defeated her decaying 'self' with a completely new transformation. The new self replaced the 'old self'.
Although she was imitating the Silver Dragon King in every move, Su Ming still saw through her disguise.
"I've lost. As the ruler of all soul beasts, I can't possibly surrender to you. Just kill me." Gu Yuena struggled with her soul for a moment, and after realizing it was futile, she calmly said.
She came here with a death wish, and the reason she was unwilling to reveal her true appearance was because she wanted to die.
There's absolutely no hope for the Soul Beast.
Su Ming remained silent, releasing Gu Yuena's imprisoned soul without killing her.
With a 'whoosh,' a rainbow of light returned to the graceful and exquisite body standing by the lake. A blush appeared on her pretty face. During the battle between their souls, she had come into direct contact with Su Ming's soul. After returning, a strange feeling emerged from her soul.
Gu Yuena left without saying a word.
Soon after, Su Ming finally gave the soul beast race an explanation, ordering the Star Dou entrance to be closed. However, he did not change the Soul Ring Laws. This was a countermeasure left for humanity. Things are unpredictable, and if something unexpected happens, there is still a chance to resist.
Thirty years of the Hongmeng calendar.
He further ordered the original soul beast clan kings, who had reformed and transformed into demons, to distribute lands to various mountains, rivers, and seas, and granted Gu Yuena the authority of the Deep Sea Dragon King.
From then on, the Soul Beast race was completely integrated into the Divine Court. After all, the Demon Race were Soul Beasts that transformed into human Soul Masters, and could also be considered a type of Douluo people. They possessed a portion of the fortune, and if the slaughter was brutal, it would hinder the world's ascension.
Maple leaves turn red year after year, and autumn comes and goes season after season. Time flows like water, and the world changes. By the time the Hongmeng Era reached its hundredth year, some people had already stepped into the Primordial Realm.
Su Ming further enhanced his cultivation, causing his soul bones to shatter and transform into wisps of immortal essence that seeped into his bones. Runes intertwined, revealing profound mysteries and displaying various extraordinary phenomena.
Within the skull, a blurry, tiny phantom of a celestial demon emerged, composed of endless runes, resembling a precious bone radiating the luster of black jade. Within the chest, a piece of congealed blood shone brightly, and there stood a figure of a human immortal, incomparably domineering. Every inch of Su Ming's bones and flesh, from his limbs and torso to his spine, contained Dao principles and nurtured an unparalleled sacred technique.
'Bang!' 'Bang!'
In the end, he shattered his two true forms, the Three Pure Ones merged into one, and his boundless blood and qi soared to the sky, stepping above the Primordial Realm. Every move he made was imbued with various supernatural powers, making him unfathomable. The purple glow of his physical body faded, transforming into pure crimson blood. There were no longer any traces of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Calamity End Tiger, or the Supreme Evil God Blood, etc. He became a pure human. His soul skills were integrated and evolved into the Seven Sacred Arts, which all humans could learn and master.
Over the course of a century, Su Ming's forces have unified the entire universe, conquered several super god realms, and brought all planes into one, beginning their ultimate sublimation.
"It's time to enter the heavens. The intelligence gathering is complete," Su Ming murmured to himself, gazing into the distance.
"Have you made up your mind? Entering the heavens also means being exposed in the Black Forest," her beautiful older sister asked from the side.
"Of course!" Su Ming said decisively, with great resolve.
He commanded all the strongest beings in the universe to assemble, leaving only a few to guard the main camp, while almost all of them came out.
All the members of the Divine Court of this era have gathered, and an endless army has swept across the sky, engulfing the star field. He will lead everyone to conquer the heavens.
"open"
Su Ming stood at the edge of the universe, his eyes deep and unfathomable, a wisp of crystalline immortal energy emanating from between his brows. He had made his move, and in this lifetime, people would finally witness his unparalleled abilities.
With just one punch, he blasted open the cosmic barrier, creating a huge passage and entering a strange world.
Su Ming had already thoroughly investigated this alternate dimension, which was close to the Douluo Universe, and had repeatedly sent 'descenders' to infiltrate the world in secret over the years.
The gods descend!
Finish this testimonial
My author's closing remarks are late but finally here. This book has successfully come to an end. I was a bit absent-minded at the end, and it felt rushed. This is mainly because I am a new writer, and this is the first time I have finished a book. I rarely read a book to the very end, so I didn't know how to write it.
However, the story of the protagonist Su Ming has largely come to an end. He created a new system for Soul Masters, ascended to the Douluo Continent, and can be considered a hero of his time. His path to the heavens will be even more exciting.
