Chapter 43: God Realm's Assault.
"It shouldn't be."
The Asura God shook his head, his expression solemn. "When I discovered the anomaly in this Plane, I used the power of the God Realm's core, attempting to dispel this anomaly and regain control over this Plane."
"What was the result?"
The God of Evil asked. He wasn't asking if the anomaly had been dispelled, but rather why it couldn't be dispelled. After all, the light screen representing the Douluo Continent was still blurry. It was clear the Asura God had failed.
"The mysterious power that suddenly appeared on the Douluo Continent is too bizarre! Even though I spared no effort in using the power of the God Realm's core, I couldn't glimpse even a sliver of the truth. It's as if this anomaly doesn't exist at all." The Asura God's expression was exceedingly grim as he said, "I suspect this power originates from beyond our Star Domain. From that Unknown Universe outside our control."
"Power from beyond the Star Domain!"
The expressions of the other four God Kings also became incredibly solemn.
Although they were called God Kings, they were clearly not the same as the truly supreme God Kings in xuanhuan novels who command the birth and destruction of entire universes. They could only reign supreme in their own small domain; once they left this rural, small Star Domain at the edge of the universe, they might be nothing at all.
Precisely because of this, facing this unknown power that very likely originated from beyond the God Realm's controlled Star Domain, the God Kings dared not be negligent. They immediately raised their vigilance to the highest degree!
"Shura, you sent for us, so you must have something in mind. Don't beat around the bush; just say it," the God of Good said, looking at the Asura God.
The other three God Kings also nodded.
"With my power alone, the power of the God Realm's core that I can mobilize is too weak. Therefore, I propose we combine the power of the Five God Kings, fully mobilize the core's power, and thoroughly investigate the source of this anomaly on the Douluo Continent!" The Asura God stated his idea.
The God Realm's core is the heart of the entire God Realm. It is responsible for absorbing and processing the power offered by the subordinate worlds, thereby maintaining the God Realm's operation. For this reason, only the Five God Kings have the authority to utilize the power of the God Realm's core.
A single God King, though capable of mobilizing the power of the God Realm's core, can only call upon a small portion of it. Only when the Five God Kings combine their efforts can they use all of the God Realm's core's power.
After hearing Shura's words, the other four God Kings pondered for a moment. Although the power of the God Realm's core concerned the very foundation of the God Realm, they ultimately nodded in agreement.
After all, the power enshrouding the Douluo Continent originated from a mysterious existence beyond the Star Domain. To them, it was a completely unknown power.
All fear stems from the unknown!
Until this power was understood, the Five God Kings felt utterly uneasy, plagued by a sense of panic that their destiny was no longer within their control. Thus, even if using the power of the God Realm's core would incur significant consumption, potentially even shaking the very foundation of the God Realm, they could no longer afford to care.
After their opinions aligned, the Five God Kings immediately closed their eyes where they stood, exercised their authority, contacted the God Realm's core, and completely unleashed its power. They gathered the power of the entire God Realm and surged it towards the world known as the Douluo Continent!
This power was incredibly immense, far beyond what the Douluo Continent, this planet, could withstand. Once it descended, even a slight misstep could potentially shatter the entire planet.
But at this point, even if losing control of the power might lead to the destruction of a lower realm Plane, the Five God Kings could no longer care.
When dealing with an unknown power from beyond the Star Domain, no amount of caution was excessive.
If sacrificing one Douluo Continent could preserve the entire God Realm and its other subordinate Planes, then this was a truly worthwhile trade.
The Five God Kings, full of confidence, condensed the power of the entire God Realm's core. Following the unseen connection, they launched an assault toward the Douluo Continent, aiming to thoroughly investigate the source of this anomaly.
In their view, even if this mysterious power originated from an unknown Star Domain, when faced with the power of the entire God Realm, it would undoubtedly have to submit and dutifully reveal everything. Otherwise, only destruction awaited it!
Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent.
Ye Cheng, who was secretly observing Zhu Zhuqing and the others, suddenly heard a 'ding' sound in his ear, followed by the system's prompts continuously ringing out. It was deafening.
[Unknown energy detected invading the world.]
[Defense mechanism activated!]
[Antivirus program initiated!]
[Countermeasure successful!]
[Large amount of residual energy detected, available for absorption and utilization…]
[Absorbing…]
[Converting to energy…]
[Conversion complete.]
[According to system rules, prioritizing absorption of the plugin 'Live Stream Spoiler System' using energy…]
[Absorption in progress… 50%... 51%... 56%... 58.4%.]
[Energy depleted, absorption halted! System energy insufficient.]
[Current absorption progress: 58.4%. Authority remains low-level.]
[Prompt: To fully absorb and acquire the 'Live Stream Spoiler System's' highest authority, the host must diligently role-play, gather energy, and assist the system in upgrading its version to completely absorb this unowned plugin.]
[For details, please enter the system interface.]
After a dazzling string of system prompts, Ye Cheng finally recovered his senses, then used his consciousness to open the screen and began to observe the system's changes.
[Role-playing System - Create a persona. The more people who believe in this fictional persona and generate shock, yearning, fear… and various other emotions for it, the more this persona will eventually become real!
Current Role-playing: Twin Martial Soul - Ye Cheng (100%)
Already Role-played: Twin Martial Soul - Ye Cheng.
External Plugin: Live Stream Spoiler System - 58.4% (Current absorption progress is insufficient, possessing only low-level authority. Can freely ask questions, fabricate and tamper with videos, set Q&A rewards and punishments… but cannot obtain Q&A rewards. Only upon reaching 100% ultimate authority can one control everything within the system.)]
Ye Cheng noticed that the absorption progress of the external plugin, the Live Stream Spoiler System, at the bottom of the system panel had changed from the original 50% to 58.4%.
Clearly, all of this was contributed by the unknown power that had just invaded.
But what exactly was that unknown power that invaded the world?
It couldn't possibly be the God Realm, could it?
Ye Cheng thought jokingly. Yet, he suddenly realized that this guess might not be impossible!
Thinking carefully, ever since the Live Stream Spoiler System descended out of nowhere six years ago, covering the entire Douluo Continent with such a massive commotion, there was no reason for the God Realm, which could monitor changes in subordinate worlds to a certain extent, to have no reaction to it.
Faced with such a novel thing, the God Realm would surely respond. Even if their reaction was slow, after all these years, they would surely send a God Official to descend and investigate what this mysterious Q&A that suddenly appeared was all about, right?
But strangely, the God Realm had shown no reaction here.
This was very odd.
Ye Cheng guessed that perhaps after the Live Stream Spoiler System descended upon this world, its mechanism instinctively blocked the God Realm's perception of it.
And when a subordinate world suddenly fell out of their monitoring, no matter how inefficient the God Realm was, they would certainly have noticed by now. It then became quite reasonable for them to employ means to investigate what was truly happening.
It must be said, Ye Cheng's guess had surprisingly hit upon the truth.
