Chapter 192: The Era Changes Too Quickly.
2023-04-04 Author: Fu Hejun
In the video.
From the Abyss Fissure in the sky, a red light shot out, descending upon the Douluo Continent.
This red light was very conspicuous, and the various factions on the continent knew that another God-level demon had descended. Thus, everyone swiftly dispatched personnel to go and exterminate this demon!
In a desolate, uninhabited forest.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by a red light descending from the sky.
“Boom!!”
A ferocious-looking demon smashed a giant pit nearly a hundred meters wide into the ground. It was only a dozen meters tall, not particularly massive among demons. But no one would underestimate it because of its size, because aside from their powerful physical bodies, the demons' primary attack method was the bizarre and unfathomable abyss magic!
Its small stature didn't mean weak strength, and judging by the aura emanating from this demon, it was undoubtedly a God-level demon!
In the distance, two beams of rainbow light flew swiftly.
They finally stopped a hundred meters away from the demon, revealing their figures as they hovered in the sky. They were actually two women.
【Huh? Aren't these two...】
【Although they look much more mature, aren't these Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing?】
【It seems they were closer, so they arrived first.】
【...】
The audience in the live stream room recognized the identities of the two women in the video.
In reality.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who were also watching the video, couldn't help but reveal expressions of surprise when they saw their future selves in the video. Because even after a hundred years had passed in the video, neither of them showed any signs of aging; they looked like they were in their twenties. Aside from being more mature and beautiful than their current selves, time had left no traces on either of them.
There was only one possible explanation for this state: both of their cultivation levels were very high. Only with such high cultivation could they maintain their youth, their appearances remaining ageless even after a hundred years.
“My future self… has she become a god?” Zhu Zhuqing touched her smooth cheek and couldn't help but murmur to herself.
“My future self hasn't changed her appearance for over a hundred years, could it be that my future self successfully broke through to the Titled Douluo realm?” Ning Rongrong looked at her elegant, graceful, and fairy-like mature self in the video. She couldn't help but think with some anticipation. The defect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul meant that those who possessed it could never break through to the Soul Douluo realm. Because of this, things like maintaining youth had always been out of reach for those with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Martial Soul.
No woman in the world could accept her appearance aging. Precisely because of this, when she first saw her future self a hundred years later in the video, still ageless, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but beam with joy.
In the video.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, the two women who arrived first, couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw the ferocious-looking demon in the distance.
“This is actually an Upper-tier demon!” Ning Rongrong frowned deeply and said, “Before, based on the aura perception, it was at most a Lower-tier demon. How has it changed now?”
“Clearly, these demons have become smarter.” Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, “They used some kind of magic to deliberately conceal their strength, presumably to provoke our underestimation, or to mislead us.”
“An Upper-tier demon!” Ning Rongrong couldn't help but hesitate slightly, turning her head to ask, “Zhuqing, if I provide you with an attribute buff, can you defeat it?”
“It's a bit touch-and-go.”
Zhu Zhuqing didn't overstate her abilities, truthfully saying, “If an Upper-tier demon is classified according to the God Realm's standards, its strength is roughly equivalent to a Level 1 God. It's comparable to a God Ring Master's sixth to seventh God Ring realm. I have only cultivated my fifth God Ring, so there's still a gap with that realm.”
“What should we do then? Perhaps we should retreat first, and wait to converge with others before we come back to suppress it.” Ning Rongrong clearly had thoughts of retreating.
This video, through the dialogue between the two women and the display of certain fragmented scenes, allowed the audience to understand what the Upper-tier demon mentioned by the two women truly meant.
During these years of contending with demon invasions, the humans of the Douluo Continent gradually classified the invading God-level demons into levels. They were Lower-tier demons, Middle-tier demons, and Upper-tier demons, respectively.
Among them, Lower-tier demons corresponded to Third Rank Gods of the God Realm, as well as God Ring Masters from the first to third God Ring realms.
Middle-tier demons corresponded to Second Rank Gods of the God Realm, as well as God Ring Masters from the fourth to fifth God Ring realms.
Upper-tier demons corresponded to Level 1 Gods of the God Realm, as well as God Ring Masters from the sixth to seventh God Ring realms.
As for those demons below the God-level, they were now collectively referred to as unranked minor demons. In other words, the Titled Douluo realm was equivalent to being unranked.
After this realm classification was revealed, countless Soul Master audience members watching the video couldn't help but show wry smiles.
【This change is too great!…】
【Only a hundred years has passed, and now even Titled Douluo are considered unranked…】
【The era is developing too quickly…】
【This is clearly due to the Abyss invasion, which caused the energy of the Douluo Continent to rise, making cultivation easier for Soul Masters. It's not that we're useless.】
【If we were also born in that era, our cultivation would definitely not be what it is now; we would surely experience a surge in strength.】
Many audience members understood very clearly that the reason humanity in the video could develop to the point where Titled Douluo were considered insignificant within a mere hundred years was not because those people suddenly became geniuses. Instead, it was because the Abyss invasion changed the environment of the Douluo Continent, making the world easier to cultivate in, and breakthroughs into realms simpler. Only then could they develop to such an incredible extent within a mere hundred years.
However, there are always gains and losses.
Although the Abyss invasion made cultivation easier, the humans on the Douluo Continent also faced the crisis of potential annihilation at any moment!
God Realm.
The Five God Kings who were watching the video were completely unsettled at this moment. When they saw that in the video, within a mere hundred years on the Douluo Continent, God-level powerhouses were emerging one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Ordinary people could only see the surface, but as deities, they could see something more crucial.
That was the unfathomable nature of the Abyss!
Just the corpses of some demons, absorbed by the world, could cause such massive changes to the Douluo Continent. The energy concentration had risen to a level capable of supporting so many God-level powerhouses… And if an Upper-tier demon was equivalent to a Level 1 God, then were there God King-level demons?
The Five God Kings knew, there definitely were such demons. And perhaps there were even realms beyond God King.
Otherwise, in the future shown in the video, their God Realm wouldn't have abandoned the Douluo Continent and hidden away.
“This Tang San must die!”
The Destruction God merely uttered this sentence. After speaking, he glanced at Asura God, his gaze filled with profound meaning. This made the latter feel somewhat awkward, knowing that the other God Kings might not have been unaware of his private dealings and simply hadn't bothered to hold it against him.
“Indeed, this Tang San must die!” The God of Evil also spoke. Like the Destruction God, he stared at Asura God with a strange gaze. Evidently, they were forcing him to state his position. Even the Life Goddess and the God of Good looked at him in unison.
“Uh… well, I don't think killing Tang San will solve the problem,” Stared at by the other four God Kings, Asura God felt a bead of cold sweat appear on his forehead as he said, “We have no idea how the future Tang San became involved with the Abyss. Is it possible that even if we kill Tang San, the Abyss might still choose someone else?”
