Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1105 Primitive Man

Compared to the Bright Five Elements Continent, the more turbulent situation on the Dark Five Elements Continent is clearly more suitable for Ji Dong's development.

therefore.

In recent years, Ji Dong has mainly developed his power on the Dark Five Elements Continent, while the power he has established on the Light Five Elements Continent is managed by his companions Bi Su and Karl, who are of the Bing Fire and Ding Fire branches respectively, with a 20/80 and 80/20 split.

"It's very good that you were able to assess the situation and move to a more suitable region instead of stubbornly sticking to the Bright Five Elements Continent," Zhou Qing praised.

"That is!"

Ji Dong said smugly, "I'm not some old-fashioned naive young man, hehe. By the way, how's it going over there?"

"A nation will be established in a while."

Zhou Qing said casually.

Wow! That's awesome!

Ji Dong gave a thumbs up, "I'm still farming!"

In fact, when Ji Dong talks about farming, he means farming in the literal sense, that is, personally cultivating the land in the fields.

Alcohol is made from grains. To make truly fine wine, one must grow the grains oneself, experience the hard work and suffering of farmers, and feel the joy before the harvest. Only then can one infuse that heart into the wine when mixing it. Otherwise, no matter how delicious the wine is, it can only stimulate the taste buds, not the soul.

This was also the principle that Zhou Qing had taught him back then—

As a bartender, Ji Dong is already unparalleled in terms of skill alone. However, when it comes to creating drinks that can touch people's hearts, his experiences in both his past and present lives are not enough to incorporate all of history into his drinks. He is merely in the process of creating history.

“Farming, huh? Not bad. At least you’re finally getting down to earth.” Zhou Qing smiled. “Only by truly understanding the origin of wine can one appreciate the essence of civilization and infuse that emotion into the wine, creating the finest wine in the world. On this path, the public and private directions are actually aligned.”

Everyone has selfish desires.

Zhou Qing was the same.

But how to align public and private interests and ensure that the interests of everyone... the vast majority of people tend to converge is simply a question that the top echelons of a power need to consider, nothing more.

If we can achieve this, why should we worry about the prosperity of our nation?
Upon hearing this, Ji Dong sighed inwardly, "I understood this principle in my past life, when I was a child, but I forgot it as I grew up... Fortunately, I met Zhou Qing in this life, and I'm gradually rediscovering it. Furthermore, it doesn't conflict with my goal of brewing the finest wine in the world, but rather complements it... Ah, the philosophy and wisdom of that gentleman in my past life are unparalleled, even by gods!"

"So, what brings you here this time?"

Ji Dong composed himself and asked Zhou Qing and the others about their purpose in coming. He then grinned lewdly and said, "You wouldn't happen to be here to propose marriage to Lie Yan, would you?"

"Call me godmother!" Little Flame heard Ji Dong call her by her name and kicked him in the ankle, making him jump up in pain.

"I'll tell you to be a bitch."

Zhou Qing chuckled and then explained the matter of establishing a four-dimensional space based on the Earth's core between Douluo Star (Earth) and the five planets.

"The Three Realms!"

Ji Dong's eyes widened, his mouth agape, and he murmured, "Heaven, Hell, Human Realm... you must turn mythology into reality!"

"Is there a legend of the Three Realms on the Five Elements Continent?" Tang San asked abruptly.

"No, not really... but I saw it in an ancient book, hehe." Ji Dong knew that Tang San was a time traveler from the Ming Dynasty, so he chuckled as a cover.

Tang San nodded, not pressing for details, but his gaze gradually deepened—

He hadn't met Ji Dong many times, but when they first met, he felt that Ji Dong had similar traits to himself. Now, after testing him, he was certain that Ji Dong was the same kind of person as him, and not someone like Qing Ge who was truly born precocious.

However, since our goals align, it's not a major problem.

Tang San thought to himself.

"It won't be easy to turn mythology into reality. In the future, our enemies will not only be from the realm of gods, but also from extraterrestrial demons and our own people."

Zhou Qing chuckled as he described to Ji Dong the enemies they would face in the future.

"I can understand the first two, but what the hell is this extraterrestrial demon?" Ji Dong was completely bewildered—isn't this a worldview based on the universe and stars? How did it get involved with extraterrestrial demons?
Aliens... well, based on the classification of different planets, Zhou Qing and his group, relative to the five planets, could be defined as aliens!
“The God Realm can be considered a planet formed from the condensation of higher-dimensional energy, while the world where the extraterrestrial demons reside is not much different from the God Realm.” Zhou Qing gave Ji Dong a heads-up. “We witnessed the battle between the God Realm and the extraterrestrial demons in the space passage between Earth and the God Realm before… In short, this type of extraterrestrial demon seems to mainly devour, but in essence, they are no different from the God Realm. The former is as barbaric as primitive people, while the latter is as elegant as capitalists. In my opinion, with such a small difference, neither can be considered a civilization.”

Why do you say that?
The Abyss Plane and the Crimson Realm primarily devour other planets, employing a short-sighted approach.

The divine realm, on the other hand, primarily condenses celestial energy by absorbing the primordial power of the planets under its jurisdiction. This method is more advanced and has a stronger sustainability.

The Three Realms that Zhou Qing and others want to establish are based on the three elements of Heaven, Man, and Earth, and will establish a great cosmic cycle system that can interact with the universe itself. It is not about plunder, but about cultivation in the true sense.

Humans created the inner landscape, and the corresponding outer landscape is the planet.

The inner landscape of a planet corresponds to the outer landscape of the universe.

The greatest truths are the simplest; nothing could be simpler.

But it only looks simple. Just for humans to create an inner world that resonates with the outer world of the planet, they need to go through six steps in cultivation: the Small Heavenly Circuit, the Great Heavenly Circuit, the Martial Cauldron, the Soul Furnace, the Fire Control, and the Opening of the Inner World. Not to mention the seventh step that has been explored so far: the creation of the prototype of the heavens.

Moreover, how can planets be made to respond to the universe?

If it weren't for the arrogance of those gods in the divine realm, who used the thirty-six pillars of psychic energy as bait, it would have taken countless years just to create the rudiments of a four-dimensional space for Douluo Star and the Five Planets...
···
The loss of the thirty-six pillars of spiritual energy was not of great concern to the four great god-kings, since the key was the magic array base inside the central hub of the god realm.

Even if the thirty-six pillars of mental energy are destroyed, it doesn't matter. As long as the central array base remains, the power of faith and the planetary origins from those thirty-six planets will continuously converge, thus forming new pillars of mental energy.

It just takes a little longer.

However, the four divine kings were unaware that through the pillars of mental energy, beings in the lower realm had already deduced the base of the magic array and constructed a four-dimensional space for the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, using the cores of two inhabited planets as the core. Moreover, because the stability of the cores of material planets far exceeded that of the central hub of the divine realm, by the time the four divine kings realized what was happening, the base of the magic array in the central hub of the divine realm, which was missing thirty-six pillars, had already cracked.

"what happened?"

The evil god king was shocked to discover that, apart from Douluo Star and the Five Planets, the spatial channels between the other thirty-four inhabited planets and the God Realm had all been severed.

"Someone on Douluo Star deduced a magic array base similar to the central hub of the God Realm using those thirty-six pillars of mental energy, and their authority is even higher than that of the God Realm?"

The benevolent god-king's face was terribly gloomy as he considered a possibility.

"impossible!"

The Goddess of Life exclaimed in disbelief, "Even if humans possess that intelligence, where would the materials come from? There are no high-level energy substances..."

"Have."

The God of Destruction lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "We seem to have overlooked one point at the time, which is that although the energy level of the lower planets is lower than that of the God Realm, the power of the planets' origin is at the same level as that of the God Realm. If the core of the planet is used as material... because it is matter, it is more stable than energy, and its stability is at least ten thousand times stronger than that of the God Realm!"

The current situation proves that the humans on Douluo Star have obtained the thirty-six pillars of psychic power and are already engaged in the construction of the God Realm.

However, to the dismay of these four God Kings, the spatial passage between the God Realm and Douluo Star was broken, making it impossible to directly observe Douluo Star.

Originally, we hoped to conduct indirect observations using the remaining thirty-four life-bearing planets...

But now even that's impossible!

This is a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!

Although they are certain that once Douluo Star develops into a god realm and realizes the existence of cosmic rules, it will have no choice but to cooperate with them, the fact that they have now completely severed ties with those thirty-six worlds means that regaining control will not be easy...
···
at the same time.

The core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest.

Lake of life.

The Silver Dragon King, who had been asleep for many years, quietly opened his eyes, broke through the lake's surface, leaped onto the shore, and looked up at the sky, filled with surprise and doubt: "The God Realm has disappeared? No, it's just that the spatial passage is broken... But it doesn't matter. Without the spatial passage, even if gods wanted to descend to the mortal realm, they would have to fly for thousands of years. And now, the Douluo Continent—"

Has the successor of the Asura God not yet ascended to heaven?
Moreover, his divine position is incomplete, only at the level of a main god? His soul power is less than level 101?

"Excellent! Once we eliminate it, Douluo Star will be ruled by soul beasts!"

What puzzled the Silver Dragon King was where his loyal subordinates had gone.

"Lord!"

Just as the Silver Dragon King was about to summon Di Tian using his Dragon King bloodline, Di Tian broke through the air and landed in front of the Silver Dragon King, kneeling on one knee and respectfully asking, "Why have you come out?"

"The spatial passage between the God Realm and Douluo Star has been severed."

The Silver Dragon King's injuries have not fully recovered, but this is not the key point. As long as the divine realm cannot observe her, it is irrelevant for her to come out.

"What powerful beings are still among the soul beasts today?"

"Besides his subordinates, the Star Dou Great Forest also has Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Wan Yao Wang, Chi Wang, and more than 30 soul beasts of the 100,000-year level."

In the far north, there are the Snow Empress and the Titan Snow Demon King, while the Ice Empress has already sacrificed herself along with that lucky ice silkworm to a human woman named Romantina.
In the vicinity of the southernmost volcano, twenty thousand years ago, there lived a phoenix with relatively pure bloodline, but it had already become the ninth soul ring of the first Angel God and was dead...
The ocean is home to hundreds, even thousands, of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and even three deep-sea demon whales. The strongest, the Deep-Sea Demon Whale King, has already reached the million-year level.

The Silver Dragon King transformed into human form, his long, silvery-white hair casually draped behind his head. He asked in confusion, "Why would the Ice Emperor and the Ice Silkworm sacrifice themselves to humans?"

"Initially, it was just to get revenge on us..."

After learning from Xiao Wu about the Ice Silkworm's sacrifice to Romantina, Di Tian sighed and then said, "But now I'm somewhat envious of them..."

Hearing that humans had created a world within their bodies, allowing dead soul beasts to be resurrected within the soul master's inner world, and that their cultivation could advance along with the soul master's, the Silver Dragon King was startled and suddenly felt a desire to meet Zhou Qing. "Did the Deep Sea Demon Whale King also pledge allegiance to that human?"

"Yes, and that human even created a cultivation technique based on their whale pearls, allowing their aura to merge with the sea, thus enabling them to continuously improve their cultivation while preventing the heavenly tribulation from targeting them." Di Tian was filled with envy—

No matter how powerful a celestial tribulation is, it cannot target the ocean or a planet.

If he could obtain a similar cultivation technique, his cultivation level could also continuously improve, allowing him to break through to the god level and no longer be bound by the heavenly tribulation.

Unfortunately--

The Beast Alliance and the Crimson Society are ultimately just partners, not an entity. Zhou Qing and the other members of the Crimson Society, including Xiao Wu, have no obligation to create cultivation techniques for them.

And what about the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Demon Whale Queen, and Blue Buddha?

It is an important part of maintaining the ocean cycle! As Ariel's subordinate, and also a member of the Red Society, she naturally deserves the corresponding benefits!
"I never imagined that humans could possess such intelligence!"

The Silver Dragon King became wary and asked again, "Are you currently cooperating with that human-created force?"

"Yes."

"What is your name?"

"Chihui."

"Strange name... Is it Zhou Qing who's contacting you right now?"

"No, he's quite busy... The person who contacts his subordinates is named Xiao Wu, a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit who has now transformed into a human. She has also opened up an inner world called the Inner Realm, and her soul power has reached level 99. Her combat strength is even stronger, far surpassing that of ordinary gods."

Upon hearing of Xiao Wu's strength, the Silver Dragon King dared not be careless and said, "Take me to see Xiao Wu and let me see her abilities."

"As ordered."

Di Tian rose, leaped into the air, and led the way, guiding the Silver Dragon King across most of the Star Dou Great Forest to Star Dou Town.

The bustling streets, the lively crowds, and the noisy sounds startled the inexperienced Silver Dragon King.

So what if they inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God?
Having suffered severe injuries since birth and been in a deep sleep, even though he possesses the inherited memories of the Dragon God, he has never personally experienced the world's splendor. How could he truly remain calm?
However, the Silver Dragon King ultimately concealed his curiosity with his outward aloofness. He followed Di Tian into Star Dou Town, passed through the bustling market, and arrived at the Star Dou Red Society branch. He then submitted his application to the receptionist at the front desk to meet Xiao Wu.

After the reception staff contacted Xiao Wu through a wired soul communication device and received her approval, Di Tiancai led the Silver Dragon King to the second floor.

"Is this person stronger than you?"

As he ascended the stairs to the second floor, the Silver Dragon King glanced back at the receptionist, his expression full of doubt. "Does he appear to be just a Soul Master, or has he suppressed his Soul Power fluctuations to the level of a Soul Master, making it impossible for me to tell?"

"He is indeed just a Soul Master."

Di Tiandao said, "My lord, human society is different from that of soul beasts, especially after the Crimson Society became the dominant force in this area, order is even more important."

Even I have to follow the rules if I want to see Xiaowu.

Once you're familiar with each other, you can be more relaxed in private, but you can't have too many privileges openly... This is for the sake of social stability.

Even though the Silver Dragon King was incredibly intelligent, he had never encountered anything like this before. Upon first hearing about it, his first thought was:
Humans are so complicated!
Went up to the second floor.

Following the corridor, Di Tian found the office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

After three knocks.

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's affirmation from inside the door, Di Tian turned the handle and pushed the door open to enter.

Xiao Wu had already prepared tea.

Seeing this scene, the Silver Dragon King felt that Di Tian was not like a ferocious beast, but rather more like a human. However, she could only observe for the time being.

"You're Xiao Wu?"

After sitting down, the Silver Dragon King picked up his teacup and, without minding how hot it was, swallowed the tea in one gulp.

"Yes."

Xiao Wu picked up the kettle, poured tea for him, and said with a smile, "The Silver Dragon King, right? I've already heard about him from Di Tian. He's the ruler of all soul beasts. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."

As the ruler of all soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King is not qualified in any way except for its strength. Like the Blazing Flame of the Five Elements Continent, it occupies the position without doing anything. It can rightfully command all beasts just because of its bloodline from the Dragon God, but it has never accomplished anything since its birth.

Admittedly, there are indeed reasons for this, such as being persecuted by the divine realm at birth, suffering serious injuries, or needing to evade the divine realm's detection, etc.

But inaction is also a fact.

Therefore, the absence of the Silver Dragon King as the overlord has no impact on the reproduction and survival of soul beasts. In fact, the existence of this overlord may even affect the survival of soul beasts.

of course.

Xiao Wu is no longer the carefree girl who first arrived at Notting Academy, so she naturally wouldn't mention these things in front of this "Lord of Soul Beasts." Instead, she continued, "As for the corresponding cooperation projects, Di Tian should have discussed them with you on the way, right?"

"Humans are indeed very intelligent to be able to create artificial spirit rings, reducing the need for spirit beasts among spirit masters," the Silver Dragon King acknowledged, but then coldly added, "But can this change the fact that humans have always hunted spirit beasts?"

"No."

Xiao Wu shook her head, but realized that this Lord of Soul Beasts still wanted to settle things with his fists, so she decided to stall for time a little longer. "But humanity is changing, isn't it?"

"Is this why you took human form?" the Silver Dragon King asked.

"At first, I just wanted to find my mother's killer, but gradually I came to know the wisdom of humankind, so I chose to truly become human, and I don't regret it."

Xiao Wu smiled slightly, crossed her legs, picked up her teacup, blew on the steam, took a sip, and continued, "So please don't look at me like you would a subordinate. I am a human being now."

"Ah!"

The Silver Dragon King, however, had instinctively learned to sneer and said, "Traitor!"
