The legend of Liu Xiaoxiao in Douluo mainland

In the Eternal Realm, the Divine Realm Committee, Liu Xiaoxiao’s office.

"This is the list of applicants for entry into the God Realm today." Nana, a member of the Tang Sect's Douluo Hall and now the Ghost God, pointed to the holographic screen behind her. "A total of 35 God-level applicants and 3 True God-level applicants have completed their identity verification."

Over the past three months, the Eternal Realm has continued to expand, bringing the entire Douluo Galaxy and Longma Galaxy under its control, and is still expanding rapidly outward.

The Divine Realm Committee has also been established and is jointly controlled by the God Kings. In addition, an extra seat has been given to the Longqinus Federation, which is managed by Ye Ruiqin. This is to consider the balance between factions, and secondly, they do have the title of Qin Emperor, which is equivalent to the God King.

Against this backdrop, over the past three months, the newly born God Realm has gradually accepted more than 900 powerful gods from the human world, ushered them in, and established an audit process, which includes the audit of their identities and abilities. The former is used to screen out spies and evil gods from other forces, while the latter is used to confirm the specifications of the granted God's position and the corresponding authority.

"Let them come to the review hall after entering the God Realm, and I will review them one by one." Liu Xiaoxiao scratched his head. Now that the God Realm was just opening, each God King had his own things to do. He had many clones, so he decided to send out Chaos Angel clones to be responsible for the daily review. Anyway, this was not a difficult task for him. He could just look at the thread of fate and it would be done.

The scale of the Eternal Realm has now surpassed the former Douluo God Realm, and the number of god seats is also abundant. However, considering the number of family members, the number must be as large as possible, so a certain quota limit is still set.

Soon, the first true god who applied came to Liu Xiaoxiao.

"Are you the vice chairman of the Space Police Alliance?" Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at the other party.

The information shows that the other party is from the Yangshen Alliance, which is an alliance formed by an agreement signed by the four countries of Yangshen Star. It officially became a cosmic civilization two thousand years ago, and the other party joined the Space Police Alliance five hundred years ago.

This Cosmic Police Alliance was actually established only four thousand years ago. It was a regional civilization cooperation organization established to deal with space pirates in the event of the disappearance of the God Realm. The area it covered was less than half of the Douluo Galaxy. After all, there were only more than a hundred planes with human civilization within the ruling area of ​​the original Douluo God Realm, and even fewer had the foundation to develop into an interstellar civilization in just a few thousand years. The original Douluo God Realm suppressed other types of civilizations, which was due to the last words left by Mo Xiao.

Relatively speaking, the number of strong people in the Longma Galaxy is much greater than that in the Douluo Galaxy. There is no protection of the God Realm there, and naturally there is no suppression of the lower civilization by the God Realm. The restrictions on promotion to the God level are also much more relaxed. After all, even if you reach the God level, there is no God Realm to go to.

The other party nodded. "Rong Wentian was the leader of the Blood Lion Cult three generations ago. After leaving office, he joined the Space Police Alliance to maintain order in the galaxy. Now that the Divine Realm has been established, the arrogance of space pirates has been shattered. I have also stepped down and come to the Divine Realm."

"Descendant of Rong Nianbing, from Rong Lingji's lineage..." Liu Xiaoxiao knew the man's connections with just one glance. "You practice both magic and martial arts, are a fire magic swordsman, have a small amount of Phoenix blood, a small amount of Dragonman blood, and a small amount of Elf blood... I will confer upon you the title of the second-level god, the God of Flame Sword. I hope you will practice diligently and achieve the status of a master god soon."

Liu Xiaoxiao just pointed his hand, and Rong Wentian's body began to change dramatically. The immortal spirit gathered and covered him like a vortex.

At this moment, Liu Xiaoxiao detected He Qiang's figure outside the palace through his spiritual sense.

As soon as he thought about it, He Qiang appeared in front of him.

"Why are you here?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.

As he spoke, the surrounding environment had changed. The square table and tea set were already placed in place, and tea naturally appeared in the teacup. However, Rong Wentian's figure had disappeared, isolated by him.

"Of course it's something important." He Qiang waved his hand, and the teacup fell into his hands. "In the past three months, there have been too many things to deal with. Now that I can finally relax, it's time to talk about the previous series of battles. It's what we call a review."

"This doesn't count as having free time." Liu Xiaoxiao shook his head.

"I've read the battle records and high-level knowledge you sent me earlier." He Qiang took a sip of tea. "This battle was indeed very dangerous, involving many forces, and in the end, two Supreme God Kings appeared without warning. This is definitely not a coincidence."

"The birth of the complete form of the Sky Guardian God will naturally have to go through a series of trials of fate, body, and soul. His life is strong enough, so he can survive." Liu Xiaoxiao had another thought, and various delicacies appeared in front of him.

"But don't you find it strange? The birth of the God of Heaven's Guard should be the will of the universe, so why is it troubled by fate?" He Qiang said carefully, "Even if there is the guidance of the Supreme God King, doesn't the will of the Supreme God King itself fall into the category of fate?"

"Countless destinies intertwine, the rivers of destiny of different lives and objects converge, forming a vast network of destiny. Fate cannot be viewed as a simple concept." Liu Xiaoxiao forked up a piece of food that looked a bit like steak. "My understanding of fate is that everything has a destiny. The higher the level of the being, the more difficult it is to defy. If the Creator God wants the God of Heaven to be born, then to stop his will, we must oppose it with the power of an equal."

"You mean, there are higher-level beings intervening in this fate?" He Qiang asked.

"After the creation of the universe, the God of Creation became one of hundreds of gods. The will of the universe is its core. Besides its incarnations, the only beings on the same level are the God of Heavenly Guardian and the God of Guidance," Liu Xiaoxiao said. "Time and space, fate, and reincarnation—these are either these three incarnations, or other incarnations, or the so-called God of Guidance. Alternatively, the other party controls the source of extremely high-level laws or the artifact of creation, and is using this to interfere."

He Qiang frowned. "This incident involves many things: the fall of the Dragon God, the cycle of divine punishment, parallel universes, the Supreme God King, and future enemies..."

"Let's sort it out chronologically, which will make analysis easier." Liu Xiaoxiao said, "This time, we won't start with the Big Bang. Let's start directly with the war in the Shenlong Realm. There is no doubt that the war still has mysteries."

"The Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King were the most direct attackers, and the cosmic will was behind it. The reason was fear of highly evolved life forms. That was my initial conclusion," He Qiang said. "But considering their common origins, the cosmic will should have the same attitude towards the Heavenly Guardian God, the prototype of the dragon race, and the Dragon God, the only deity of the dragon race. It wouldn't be afraid of them simply because of their powerful bloodlines. While the Dragon God is powerful, he's only the Supreme God King."

"What the God of Creation needs is a God of Heavenly Protection, and He is wary of the God of Heavenly Punishment. Judging from the timeline, it is understandable that the God of Creation is wary of the Dragon God. Only a Dragon God who protects the universe is a good Dragon God, while a Dragon God who constantly starts wars and swallows up various divine realms is rejected by the universe." Liu Xiaoxiao said, "The God of Creation hopes for the prosperity of all civilizations in the universe and for communication, but conflict is probably not what He desires. At the very least, wars that involve large numbers of weak lives will definitely be restricted. This reflects in the universe that good cannot prevail over evil, not balance."

"That is to say, at that time, the Creator God had not yet initiated the plan to use the Heavenly Guardian God to protect the universe, and accordingly, he had placed restrictions on the Dragon God." He Qiang said, "Next question, we used to think that the Rakshasa God was the mastermind, and that the will of the universe used him to influence the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King, and then interfere with the Dragon God. But isn't this too convoluted? It's like it was added later. If we introduce conspiracy theories here, and the God of Guidance is involved in weaving such a story, perhaps it can provide some explanation."

"Adding a dark conspiracy out of thin air is just speculation." Liu Xiaoxiao shook his head. "When it comes to the Guiding God, we can't leave out Enchanter and Joker. Could it be that they from the future traveled back to the past and used the Guiding God to intervene across time and space? Things that cannot be explained by sequential time can be explained by time jumps. Speaking of which, it seems that my first contact with the underworld happened in a dream with Zhang Shiwen."

"Turning the false into the true, the dream into reality..." He Qiang pondered. "Perhaps the underworld didn't originally exist, and it only truly appeared in history because of that incident... Wasn't Zhang Shiwen's death accidental? Was there a human factor behind those people's sudden attack? A higher-level, invisible conspiracy... To push Zhang Shiwen into the dream, thereby materializing the existence of the underworld... That happened to be the moment you merged with the soul of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the moment you first encountered 'fate'... All of this was calculated. I wonder how much of this was the work of the Enchanter and the God of Guidance, and how much was related to 'fate'..."

Liu Xiaoxiao continued, "Enchantress has a strong connection with the Underworld, which in turn has a strong connection with the Rakshasa God, who in turn has a connection with the Dragon God. Of these three bridges, the middle one didn't originally exist. I believe that was also the work of Enchantress, with the goal of establishing a connection with the Dragon God, thereby intervening at that point in time and implanting false history into the universe's memory without affecting the present. After all, the outcome would remain unchanged with or without the influence of the Rakshasa God."

"What's their purpose?" He Qiang pressed his temple. "What are their abilities? What are the abilities of the Guiding God? To what extent have they utilized the power of the Guiding God? We're severely lacking intelligence. Any unfounded assumptions are ultimately nothing more than speculation."

"History has a fateful conclusion. Countless parallel universes will converge into a finite number of possibilities. This is a basic principle of space and time," Liu Xiaoxiao said. "Even if time travel occurs, the outcome is unlikely to change. However, in the process of resisting the correction force, one will inevitably leave indelible traces. Adding a few more parallel universes to the endless universe will not affect its stability. Just as she left the trace of the Silver Rose in this era, she also left a trace more than 300,000 years ago. These two events may have similarities."

"In short, let's attribute these two things to the same cause. Either it is to meet certain conditions to activate special divine arts or other abilities, or it is to force us to perform certain actions in order to gain an advantage or dominance in certain things." He Qiang said.

"After Mo Xiao's incident, the divine punishment began." Liu Xiaoxiao continued, "The beginning of the Cleansing Era coincided with Mo Xiao's fall. This may not be a coincidence. During that era, certain changes occurred in the universe, which made the cosmic will feel the pressure of evolution, the pressure from higher-level life forms, and thus initiated the Great Cleansing. The tool was space-time turbulence, and the target was higher-level life forms. Peak annihilation like the one targeting Mo Xiao has almost disappeared, replaced by large-scale indiscriminate attacks."

"It's like the immune system is out of order..." He Qiang whispered. "The evolutionary pressure on the universe is simply too great. Single-point annihilation can no longer satisfy the will of the universe, so it's gone into a frenzy. After running rampant for a while, the various incarnations of the Creator God sensed something was wrong and decided they needed to introduce new factors to stop the will of the universe from running wild. In other words, the problem of over-evolution must be completely resolved."

"The Creator God's will is for the prosperity of life. Therefore, as his incarnations, they likely can't directly carry out large-scale destruction," Liu Xiaoxiao said. "So they set their sights on the God of Retribution. After countless years, having gained profound wisdom through the development of the Law of Wisdom, they finally realized one thing: the God of Retribution's role. The so-called divine retribution is also a form of protection, the removal of lesions, and the pruning of branches to promote growth. They secretly began some arrangements. But among them, there may be betrayers."

"You mean, at this point in time, Yao Ji and the others used the God of Guidance to intervene, allowing the original Demon Ancestor's consciousness to notice the Creation Continent?" He Qiang asked.

Liu Xiaoxiao nodded. "Since it's the reincarnation of the God of Heavenly Punishment, even if he's not being used, I'm afraid the God of Guidance will intervene to some extent. In other words, just like the Dragon God incident, the matter of Heavenly Punishment is also a central point in our game with them. There may be some connection between the two. The recurrence of yesterday's events may be a cause and effect."
