Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Originally, the Xuanbing Empire was well-behaved and had not experienced a single beast tide in tens of thousands of years, and was not even considered a threat. But now, the well-behaved Xuanbing Empire has been provoked. First, it annihilated so many of their legions, and now it has begun such a terrifying expansion. Who knows what it will do in the future?

All of this was caused by that mysterious person; once found, he must be burned alive.

Tian Hao naturally had no interest in the thoughts of the various forces. After spending half a month to complete the expansion, he manipulated the Xuanbing Blue Silver Domain to generate a dense cold mist that enveloped the entire expanded far north, blocking all means of perception.

Only then were the preparations completed. Tian Hao used the power accumulated by the Xuanbing Blue Silver Tree as a temporary energy source to operate this massive computing cloud, amplifying his own power to an unimaginable level.

With the added power of the plane's main force, it reached a considerably powerful level, far stronger than his own power.

Without delay, a spatial portal was forcibly opened, with the other end on the sun's side. In addition, a portion of the solar authority obtained from the Angel God was used to guide solar energy to be projected over and then distributed to countless Xuanbing Blue Silver Trees throughout the Xuanbing Empire, allowing them to absorb and refine it.

This is pure energy, so it's not difficult to absorb. Not to mention the neutralizing effect of the Xuanbing Blue Silver Domain, plus the super computing power, the solar energy was quickly and perfectly refined.

This step only lasted for one minute, but in that one minute, a layer of glaciers in the far north was evaporated.

It was only because Tian Hao had the soul beasts hide underground that they were able to kill all the soul beasts under 100,000 years old, thanks to the power that had been released earlier.

At the same time, that minute also depleted most of the power accumulated by the Xuanbing Blue Silver Tree. It was only after it could perfectly absorb and refine solar energy that it could maintain the consumption of its full computing power.

As the solar energy is rapidly refined, it first restores the energy consumed by countless Xuanbing Blue Silver Trees. After restoration, the roots of the Xuanbing Blue Silver Trees serve as the foundation, giving rise to layers of cold marrow, which eventually slowly develops into a mineral vein.

Cold marrow is a special kind of energy that can be used as food for all ice-attribute soul beasts in the far north. The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm devoured an entire vein of cold marrow and used it to survive for countless years.

The cold marrow vein that Tian Hao created is not just plain cold marrow; it also contains the life force transformed from solar energy absorbed by the Xuanbing Blue Silver Tree, making it more suitable for consumption to aid cultivation.

Given enough time, the entire far north could be transformed into a vein of cold marrow minerals, achieving true self-sufficiency.

That wasn't all. Tian Hao mobilized a portion of his energy, using the Xuanbing Blue Silver Ancestral Tree as a foundation, to create a small plane and increase the flow of time within it by a hundred times.

Although the current Xuanbing Blue Silver Tree Ancestor is not as good as the original Life Ancient Tree of the Life God King, it is not far behind. With the support of countless evolved Xuanbing Blue Silver Trees, it is not much worse.

It should be noted that the Life God King's true form, the Ancient Tree of Life, is a super artifact, even surpassing the super artifacts of the other four God Kings in some respects, because it is the Life God King's true form and possesses all the primordial power.

This is unmatched by the other four divine artifacts of the God Kings. The current Xuanbing Blue Silver Ancestral Tree has barely reached that level. If it can condense a Xuanbing Life Heart in the future, it will definitely be able to go a step further and truly rival the Ancient Tree of Life.

Thus, this base in the far north was established.

"Get your soul beasts to multiply as soon as possible and occupy the territory you've opened up. When the time is right, I will lead you to fly away from this world and into the starry sky."

Once everything had stabilized, Tian Hao separated from the Xuanbing Blue Silver Ancestral Tree and gave instructions on the future development direction.

There is no future in simply staying in this world; we must eventually venture into space and create a massive, icy planet.

Moreover, he knew that the planet at the very edge of the solar system was covered by glaciers, making it the best raw material for expanding the far north and eventually forming a planet.

After all, we can't keep drawing seawater from the Douluo World to create it. Even though the Douluo World is mostly covered by seawater, there's still not much. We need to find materials to expand from the stars.

"It's not a thousand times as you said!"

Hyotei asked in confusion, "This big liar said he could increase the flow of time by a thousand times, so how come it's only a hundred times?"

"This Xuanbing Blue Silver Ancestral Tree is a bit lacking. Its limit is that it can only withstand a hundred times the flow of time. I have already set up the program so that it can condense the Ice and Snow Life Heart in about a hundred years. At that time, the whole tree will be greatly improved and will be able to withstand a thousand times the flow of time."

Tian Hao explained that the Xuanbing Blue Silver Ancestral Tree was still somewhat lacking. Even though it had absorbed and refined a massive amount of divine power and been modified by the Silver Dragon King's creative power, it was still far inferior to the Life God King's original body, the Ancient Tree of Life.

Only by reaching the level of the Ancient Tree of Life can one withstand the blessing of a thousand times the flow of time, and this is limited to the area covered by the tree trunk. If one wants to expand, not only is it difficult to supply energy, but it is also difficult to support itself.

“You will each separate your original bodies, especially Hyotei. You are not allowed to use your original body to have children for me in the future, as that will slow down the growth process.”

Tian Hao didn't waste any time and prepared to create super-divine martial soul cores for his two wives, shaping their bodies into the cores.

At this level of cultivation, the competition lies in the comprehension and application of the laws. The physical body of a soul beast no longer has any advantage over the human body, so keeping it is useless. It is better to shape it into a super god martial soul core.

Especially the Ice Emperor's child. He really didn't expect that the Ice Emperor would use her true form to conceive a child back then. The child was naturally the Ice Jade Scorpion, which took ten thousand years to grow into a god. The main reason was that it took too long to awaken its intelligence.

This would be extremely fast for a soul beast, but it was still too slow for him.

Even if a human body is lacking in fundamental qualities, it can be improved through cultivation, and its overall speed will inevitably far exceed that of the soul beast path.

"The original body has many offspring!"

She muttered something, but Hyotei didn't dare to refuse. The previous battle had left a deep impression on her, and she still had psychological trauma from it.

"Do you understand eugenics and good parenting? What's the point of having so many babies at once? They grow too slowly. I'll be spending most of my time here, so you can have more whenever you want."

After glaring at her, Tian Hao could only slowly change his wife's way of thinking.

There's no way around it; the Ice Emperor has been a spirit beast for hundreds of thousands of years, and their mindset has long been fixed. We have to gradually change their ways.

In this respect, the Snow Empress is better off. She only had one daughter back then, and because the Ice and Snow Maiden has characteristics similar to the human body, her cultivation speed is quite good. In some aspects, she has already surpassed the Snow Empress, and now she is accompanying the Silver Dragon King in his closed-door cultivation.

"Scorpion?"

At this moment, a burly man walked in, stared at Tian Hao with suspicion for a long time, and finally asked uncertainly.

"You can still recognize me like this?"

Tian Hao was surprised. He was in his original form, but he didn't expect that Titan Snow Demon King could still recognize him.

"His appearance has changed, but his feeling hasn't changed, and there's no one else who can talk to Hyotei and his mother-in-law like that."

Titan Snow Demon King smiled, his heart filled with excitement.

He has never forgotten this brother. Without Ah Xie, there would be no them today. And now Ah Xie has returned to lead their Xuanbing Empire to become even stronger.

Sure enough, Scorpion is their future.

"You should call me father-in-law now!"

Tian Hao's expression turned serious, and he corrected him with a stern face.

This guy is really cunning. When he couldn't win over Xue Di back then, he turned his attention to Xue Di's daughter and actually succeeded in winning her over.

This left him speechless, though he didn't react like Tang San.

Daughters always have to get married when they grow up. Atai is a decent person with good character and ability. There's no need for him to play those messy tricks, making the whole family unhappy and leaving a grudge in their hearts.

If a father like Tang San were to be placed in reality, it would be tantamount to digging a pit for his daughter and planting a landmine in the relationship between the young couple.

It's only because Huo Yuhao was kept in check and became a complete sycophant that he turned against her. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have turned on him long ago.

"father in law!"

Atai, being quite shrewd, addressed his father-in-law as "Father-in-law," and then asked, "You're not leaving this time, are you?"

During the ten thousand years that Ah Xie disappeared, they encountered many problems, and it took a lot of effort to overcome them one by one. If Ah Xie had been there, it certainly wouldn't have been so difficult.

"This time I won't leave. I will use the Xuanbing Empire, the Sun and Moon Empire, and the Star Dou Great Forest as my base to fight against the gods of the God Realm, and then lure the God Realm here to be completely destroyed."

Tian Hao glanced at the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor beside him, nodded, and a chilling killing intent surged deep in his eyes.

Ten thousand years ago, he was no match for the combined might of the gods in the divine realm, but things are different now. He has risen to a higher level, while the divine realm has been weakened considerably. It is time to launch a counterattack and devour the divine realm in one fell swoop.

However, he needed to lure the God Realm here first, based on information he obtained from the memories of Da Ming and Er Ming.

Da Ming and Er Ming were resurrected by Tang San and became one with him. In addition, due to their relationship with Xiao Wu, they learned many secrets of the God Realm.

Ten thousand years ago, in order to prevent the evil god king and the benevolent god king from interfering with his plans, the Asura God shattered the not-yet-fully-repaired central hub of the God Realm. Over the years, the God Realm has been repairing the central hub while simultaneously manipulating the God Realm to slowly drift towards the Dragon God Plane, and it has already reached a short distance away.

This clearly indicates an intention to pursue a path of merging the real and the virtual, devouring and fusing the Douluo plane, and allowing the God Realm to undergo a transformation, much like the Martial Soul God Kingdom of yesteryear.

Now that the divine realm has made its move, he naturally has to take countermeasures and seize the opportunity to destroy the divine realm.

"We've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Titan Snow Demon King slammed his fists together and grinned menacingly.

They had long wanted to destroy the God Realm, only then could their soul beasts truly be liberated and live freely; otherwise, they would never have a peaceful life.

It was under Ah Xie's influence that their strength increased significantly, and the Martial Soul Divine Kingdom severely damaged the God Realm; otherwise, they would definitely have been wiped out by the God Realm back then.

For example, the Sea God Tang San and the Asura God Xiao Wu came to kill them. If they hadn't been strong enough, and with the blessing of the Xuanbing Blue Silver Tree, they would have been killed long ago.

But that was definitely not the end. He always understood that the gods of the divine realm would attack them again. The reason why the master had been in seclusion to cultivate was to reach the level of the Dragon God, so that he could confront the gods of the divine realm head-on.

Now that Ah Xie has returned, they are even more confident.

"This is the cultivation system I created. You should complete the transition as soon as possible, because the battles ahead will not be easy."

Tian Hao transmitted the cultivation system he created into Titan Snow Demon King's mind. Next, the Xuanbing Empire would become his biggest base, just like the Martial Soul Empire back then, and he needed to develop it properly.

That's why he went to great lengths to expand the Xuanbing Empire and transformed the Xuanbing Blue Silver Ancestral Tree into a super calculator, making it an auxiliary artifact.

After exchanging ideas with Titan Snow Demon King and helping Ice Emperor Snow Empress mold her true form into a super god martial soul core, Tian Hao returned to the Devouring Mech to continue his plans.

When he left, he left a divine thought clone inside the Devouring Lion Mech, so he wasn't afraid of being noticed.

"You guessed it all along?"

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress looked at the Titan Snow Demon King, only now realizing that they had underestimated this simpleton.

"You all had your suspicions, but you just didn't want to believe them."

Titan Snow Demon King appeared calm. He had already made some guesses back when Ah Xie disappeared with the Martial Soul God Kingdom.

However, he didn't take it to heart, because Ah Xie hadn't done anything to harm their far north. On the contrary, he had greatly enhanced their strength, which led to the current Xuanbing Empire.

In the world of soul beasts, he even surpassed the Star Dou Great Forest, becoming a god earlier than the Beast God Di Tian.

All of this was thanks to Ah Xie, so no matter what Ah Xie's identity was, he considered him his good brother.

Not to mention that the humans in this world evolved from their soul beast race, left behind by their ancestors who transformed into humans; in the end, they are all one family.

Of course, this applies to humans who maintain a friendly attitude towards their soul beasts; those who are hostile, especially those who become lackeys of the gods in the divine realm, should stay far away from them.

"Yes, we guessed it a long time ago."

The Snow Empress looked up at the Xuanbing Blue Silver Ancestral Tree, which was shimmering with icy blue light, her expression quite complicated.

Although she was initially deceived, the man was quite nice and gave her a sense of security, making her feel at ease.

"That's a big liar!"

Hyotei muttered something, but admitted that the man was very reliable, and she felt much more at ease after he came back.

It is not only the future of humanity, but also the future of their soul beasts.

Not to mention that thing has become the ruler of a plane, and is now the future of their entire world.

"According to his plan, we will become bait to force the God Realm to come here. We will send out more divine thought clones to guard the four directions and block the spying of those lackeys of the God Realm."

Xue Di's voice was cold, and her eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent.

It's time to finally eliminate this formidable enemy, the divine realm!

Leaving aside the thoughts of Xue Di and the other two, Tian Hao, on the other hand, controlled the Devouring Lion Mech to complete the journey to the Douling Empire and returned to Xingluo City.

The Soul Fighting Tournament is about to begin.
