"Let's talk about it after we return." Without saying much, Leng Yaozhu led everyone straight back to the Spirit Pagoda, ignoring the fervent gazes of the Limit Douluos.
"You guessed right. We were indeed preparing to create our own God Realm just now." As she raised her hand, the Douluo Seal floated into the air.
Looking at the group of Limit Douluos, Leng Yaozhu said, "The Douluo Seal is a central artifact I've forged for the creation of our own God Realm. Now, I need you all to imprint your insights into the power of heaven and earth into the Seal to help me perfect it."
Even with the He Tu and Luo Shu, it was impossible for Leng Yaozhu and a few others alone to comprehend all the laws of the world.
If the central artifact of the God Realm wanted to carry more divine thrones, it needed to be imprinted with different elemental rules of heaven and earth.
"This is the God Realm's core." All the Limit Douluos focused their gaze on the Douluo Seal—there was shock, curiosity, greed, and disbelief.
"That's right. As long as it has enough energy, the Douluo Seal can construct a God Realm," Leng Yaozhu said with a faint smile. "It could even elevate the Douluo Plane to the level of a God Realm."
"Your Excellency Heavenly Phoenix, are you planning to elevate the Douluo Plane to a God Realm?" Spirit-Eyed Douluo Xu Cangyu frowned and asked.
Right now, the Douluo Plane had lost Tang Sect, Shrek Academy was gone, and the Spirit Pagoda had submitted to the Sun Moon Federation.
Although the Federation had suffered a heavy blow to its strength and prestige due to the collective defection of the Battle God Hall, its political power had reached an all-time high.
The saying "All under heaven belongs to the king, and all on the land are his subjects" was no exaggeration.
But if Leng Yaozhu truly elevated the Douluo Plane to a God Realm, the current balance of power would be completely overturned.
No matter how powerful or respected the Federation was, it could never compete with an organization composed entirely of gods.
Such an organization would likely become even more influential than the old Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Spirit Pagoda combined.
The Sun Moon Federation could very well become nothing more than a puppet.
"I do intend to elevate the Douluo Plane to a God Realm! But I will try my best to manage all relationships properly." Leng Yaozhu understood what Xu Cangyu was thinking—she had already considered these issues long ago.
Although there wasn't a concrete plan yet, she believed that with time and exploration, a way forward would be found.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Heavenly Phoenix. I have no further questions." Xu Cangyu bowed to Leng Yaozhu. If anyone else had said this, he might not have believed them, but from Leng Yaozhu, the words carried weight.
First, she had no reason to deceive him. Second, Leng Yaozhu was not someone who craved power—otherwise, she would not have let the Spirit Pagoda submit to the Federation.
"So if the Douluo Seal is a core of the God Realm, does that mean as long as we imprint our insights into the power of heaven and earth into it, once the Douluo Plane ascends, we'll all become gods?" Battle Heaven Douluo Qiangu Dieting looked at Leng Yaozhu with burning eyes. He didn't care about the Federation's future; he only wanted to become a god.
"Not exactly." Leng Yaozhu shook her head and said, "For example, each type of elemental force of heaven and earth will only produce one divine position. Simply put, if two fire-type soul masters both imprint their understanding of heaven and earth into the core, only the one with deeper insight will become the Fire God. And the strength of the Fire God's divine throne depends on the depth of their comprehension. If you can't reach a divine level of understanding, it's all meaningless."
Leng Yaozhu sighed softly. This was the weakness of a newly created God Realm.
Every divine throne had to be self-created.
Leng Yaozhu had the He Tu, Luo Shu, and the Huangdi Neijing. She was confident she could comprehend one set of elemental rules to the level of a God King and create a God King throne.
But on the Douluo Plane, let alone God Kings—how many could even comprehend the laws of heaven and earth to a divine level?
There were many Limit Douluos here.
But even reaching the lowest Tier 3 God would be beyond most of them.
This was also why the original gods of the Douluo God Realm always ensured to pass on their divine thrones before venturing into the universe.
Creating a new divine throne was simply too difficult.
Once a divine throne was taken into the cosmos, who knew how many years it would take for someone else to recreate it?
"Divine level!" The expression on every Limit Douluo's face changed drastically. Although each of them believed themselves to be prodigies, when it came to the divine level, they harbored no illusions.
"Do your best. Around the God Realm's core, your comprehension of the power of heaven and earth will be easier. I hope you can achieve something," Leng Yaozhu said with a gentle smile.
"What do we need to give in return?" Titan Douluo Yuanen Zhentian of the Yuanen Clan asked in a low voice.
The moment he spoke, all the Limit Douluos turned their eyes toward Leng Yaozhu.
Just like Yuanen Zhentian, they all believed there was no such thing as a free lunch. Even if Leng Yaozhu was creating a God Realm, they couldn't believe she would help them become gods without asking for anything in return.
Although they were willing to pay any price to become gods...
Yuanen Zhentian still felt it was better to clarify things beforehand.
"What do you think you can offer me?" Leng Yaozhu narrowed her eyes and asked in return.
"Uh..." Yuanen Zhentian was taken aback. Right, what could they possibly offer Leng Yaozhu?
Money? Power? Rare treasures?
Don't be ridiculous. Even if he gave her the entire Yuanen Clan, Leng Yaozhu wouldn't care.
If she truly desired something, it would only be their ability to create divine thrones and help perfect the Douluo Seal.
But in doing so, they were really helping themselves too.
Leng Yaozhu glanced at Gu Yue. She truly wanted to recruit some strong soul beasts through Gu Yue to help perfect the Douluo Seal.
For example, the Nine Great Dragon Kings.
But after some thought, she still didn't say it aloud.
Besides Gu Yue, who helped because of Xia Yi, the other soul beast powerhouses wouldn't genuinely help her.
Sigh... Leng Yaozhu sighed again. Her head truly hurt.
When she first thought about creating a God Realm, her initial plan was to build a human God Realm.
But as her vision expanded, her perspective changed. It wasn't just about humans anymore.
So the Douluo Seal wasn't only meant to help humans ascend to godhood—it could help other races too.
But on the Douluo Plane, aside from the alien Huoli Clan who only wanted to go home, there were only humans and soul beasts.
The hatred between soul beasts and humans ran too deep. It wasn't something a few words could fix.
Otherwise, with the Nine Great Dragon Kings' understanding of the laws of the world, they could easily elevate several rules in the Douluo Seal to Tier One God levels.
If soul beasts couldn't be relied on, then only the Huoli Clan remained.
Leng Yaozhu hadn't given up on them. After the Douluo Plane ascended, she planned to seek them out again.
Some members of the Huoli Clan were already god-level beings.
They didn't have divine thrones previously because there was no central God Realm artifact.
Now that there was, with the help of the core, creating one or two divine thrones shouldn't be a problem.
Even if they were desperate to return home, Leng Yaozhu would make sure they passed on a few divine thrones before they left.
Even Tier Three divine thrones would be welcome.
As long as they could help perfect the Douluo Seal through self-created divine thrones, she would not turn anyone away.
And if some divine beings proved to be unworthy or incompetent, she could just revoke their thrones and pass them on to someone more suitable.
It was far easier to inherit a divine throne than to create one.
Leng Yaozhu turned to look at Xia Yi and asked, "When will the Buddhist girl come out of seclusion?"
She hadn't forgotten—Lan Fozu had promised to help humans suppress the ocean.
Neither Leng Yulai and her sister nor Gu Yue and Xia Yi had a strong enough understanding of oceanic power. Aside from Gu Yue, they didn't even have any water-type soul masters.
Right now, the Douluo Seal needed someone with deep insight into oceanic power to help perfect that aspect.
And with Lan Fozu potentially emerging as a Limit Douluo, she was the perfect candidate to fill that gap.
"I don't know either. We'll have to wait." Xia Yi shrugged. Clearly, giving Leng Yaozhu control over the Douluo Seal had been the right decision.
Otherwise, he would be the one with the headache right now.
Lan Fozi was refining the orb left behind by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and Xia Yi had no idea how long it would take.
He had visited her last time while returning to the Genesis Origin, but she hadn't shown any sign of coming out.
