12: Chapter 12 Sealing Douluo, Introducing 180 Otherworldly Lifeforms

Regarding these stray Souls from other Worlds, they had seen such high-dimensional remnant Souls drift into the Douluo Universe more than once. However, most were obliterated by the Laws of the Universe before they could find a suitable body for Reincarnation; the rare few who succeeded in Reincarnating would disappear inexplicably as soon as they grew up.

They had once wanted to capture one or two to study their mysteries and strengthen the Divine Realm, but they never had the chance.

After all, this kind of thing was simply too difficult; it was almost impossible.

That was when things were still within their sight.

But now, Qian Chongguang was actually going to cast 180 such "Prodigies" into the Douluo Continent? And he wanted to completely Seal the Douluo Continent so they couldn't interfere?!

Putting aside whether it could succeed, if it really did, and these reincarnated beings were truly the remnant Souls of high-dimensional powerhouses, then once they grew up, it would be a catastrophe for their Divine Realm!

The Dragon God of yesteryear was merely a supreme powerhouse born natively in the Douluo Universe. Just wanting to lead the Divine Realm to break through its shackles and upgrade to a God Star had already caused uncontrollable variables in the entire Douluo Universe, forcing them to unite and kill him, forcibly extinguishing the possibility of the Universe's evolution.

In the end, these Five Great God Kings, and indeed the entire Douluo Universe, had always been spineless cowards content with the status quo. They would rather guard this Divine Realm and slowly wait for the Universe to perish than take a step toward a higher dimension.

Because they were afraid. They feared those ruthless figures in high-dimensional Universes who could judge eternity and sweep across the heavens with a single thought. They feared not even knowing how they died.

Not to mention making the determination to leave their Legacy God Positions and the Douluo Divine Realm to see the scenery of other Worlds.

But now, Qian Chongguang had personally thrown this "terrifying" possibility right to their doorstep!

"Qian Chongguang! You're insane!!"

The Asura God's eyes were splitting with rage. He could no longer hold back and was the first to transform into a bloody stream of light, pouncing toward Qian Chongguang. "Do you know what you're doing?! You're going to destroy the entire Douluo Universe!"

He was afraid, truly afraid.

"So what? Whether I die or not is unimportant. What matters is that I am happy."

Qian Chongguang didn't care at all.

The other four God Kings reacted simultaneously. No longer caring about the Divine Realm Covenant or maintaining their dignity, the five of them attacked at once. Five streams of God King-level Divine Power covered the sky and earth, enveloping Qian Chongguang. They were determined to stop him with all their might!

But just as their Divine Power was about to touch Qian Chongguang, the figure before them suddenly became illusory!

They had completely missed, grabbing nothing but an afterimage lingering with light and dark aura!

"What?!"

The Destruction God King's face changed drastically. He spread his Divine Sense instantly, only to discover that Qian Chongguang's aura had already appeared at the entrance of the plane channel tens of thousands of miles away!

His speed had reached a point that surpassed the lock of their Divine Sense!

It was an extreme speed achieved by burning his final Divine Soul Origin. Unless the Five Great God Kings burned their God King Origins simultaneously, it was impossible to catch up!

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

The Asura God was trembling with rage and spat out a mouthful of Origin blood, but he could only watch helplessly, unable to catch up.

The gods could only stand frozen in place, watching that figure intertwined with light and dark stand at the entrance of the plane channel, pouring all his remaining power into the spatial barrier between the Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm!

A golden-black light membrane covering the entire plane channel formed instantly, firmly locking all paths from the Divine Realm to the Douluo Continent!

Engraved upon the light membrane were the Origin Laws of the Angel God, along with the forbidden mark left by Qian Chongguang burning his Divine Soul. It was indestructible!

Immediately after, hundreds of light points of Life with different auras, yet each possessing exceptional talent, shot through the gaps in the light membrane like a meteor shower, preciselycast into every corner of the Douluo Continent and vanishing instantly.

After doing all this, Qian Chongguang's figure had become nearly transparent, and his divine body began to disintegrate inch by inch!

He turned his head one last time to look at the furious Five Great God Kings in the distance, revealing a final mocking smile.

At the same time, above the Divine Realm Center, that line of faith that had been firmly connected to the Douluo Continent snapped with a "pop"!

From this moment on, the Divine Realm and the Douluo Continent were completely cut off.

They could no longer peer into the slightest detail of the Lower Realm, could no longer interfere with any development of the Douluo Continent, and could no longer plant their successors or manipulate the fate of Mortals in the Douluo Continent.

"Bye-bye, my dear friends. I hope my gift will make you happy in the future."

The final voice faded, and Qian Chongguang's figure also dissolved into light and dark points across the sky at that moment, dissipating between heaven and earth without leaving even a trace of his Divine Soul.

Only a devastated Divine Realm and a group of gods with livid, furious faces remained.

"Damn it! Damn Qian Chongguang!!"

The Asura God slashed his sword fiercely at a nearby white jade stone pillar, shattering the entire pillar and the surrounding space inch by inch. "I will find his Divine Soul and smash it into ten thousand pieces!!"

"Stop shouting! He burned even the last trace of his Divine Soul. Where are you going to find him?"

The Destruction God King said with a dark face, sternly stopping him. He strode to the plane channel and reached out to touch the sealing light membrane of intertwined light and dark. The moment his fingertip touched it, he was bounced back by a violent force, not to mention reaching the periphery of that planet.

His expression grew even uglier. He turned to look at the Goddess of Life. "Can you break his Seal?"

The Goddess of Life stepped forward, green light overflowing from her fingertips as she carefully sensed the Law patterns on the light membrane. After a long while, she shook her head helplessly, her tone grave. "It's very difficult. This is a forbidden Seal he left using the Angel God's Origin, combined with the burning of his entire Divine Soul, and it is bound to the plane Laws of the entire Douluo Continent. To force a break, we would either have to pay with more than half of the Five Great God Kings' Origin cultivation or consume seventy percent of the energy reserves the Divine Realm has accumulated over a million years. It's not worth the loss."

"Moreover," the Goddess of Kindness added, her tone full of worry, "we already consumed quite a bit of Divine Power in the battle just now, and the Divine Realm's energy reserves have also suffered significant losses. If we consume any more of our Origin and reserves, what if the Golden Dragon King sealed deep within the Divine Realm takes the opportunity to break the Seal? We would have no spare strength to cope."

Once these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent instantly.

The gods' expressions all turned grim. The battle just now had been earth-shattering; it was impossible that the Golden Dragon King, sealed at the core of the Divine Realm, hadn't noticed.

Although the Golden Dragon King did not inherit the wisdom of the Dragon God, having been sealed for a million years, who knew if it hadn't grown—just like how Qian Chongguang faced the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms just now, instead of resisting head-on, he chose to turn and maneuver. Who knew if the Golden Dragon King had also learned to be patient and calculating.

"Are we just going to let it go?" a First-Rank Deity asked, trembling. "If those 180 Prodigies really grow up, how will our Divine Realm cope?"

"What are you panicking about?" the Evil God King frowned and spoke up suddenly. "Did you forget? The Laws of heaven and earth on the Douluo Continent have a limit. To break through level 100 and become a god, one must have a corresponding God Position to support it. Even if he sealed the plane channel, people in the Lower Realm might reach the threshold of level 100, but without a God Position from the Divine Realm, their cultivation would at most be stuck at the critical point; it is impossible to advance any further. How many level 100 powerhouses can that small plane of the Douluo Continent support? Three or five would be the limit. 180 Prodigies? It would be a lot if even a few survive to break through level 100."

Upon hearing this, many gods breathed a sigh of relief. That's right, the shackles of the Laws of heaven and earth were there. Without a God Position, no matter how high the talent, it was impossible to grow infinitely.

In that case, had Qian Chongguang made a mistake with this move?

"No." The Destruction God King shook his head, his expression still grave. "Have you forgotten who Qian Chongguang is? From the moment he appeared until now, every step he took was well-calculated. Would he make such a low-level mistake? Since he dared to cast down 180 Prodigies, he must have a way to deal with the shackles of the Laws."

The whole place fell into dead silence again.

After a long while, the Goddess of Life spoke slowly, her voice carrying a hint of fear she didn't want to admit herself: "Have you ever thought... that he is doing a Gu-style cultivation?"

"180 Prodigies placed on the same continent, with limited resources and limited Law caps. If they want to survive and break through the limit, they can only kill each other and devour each other."

"If, in the end, only one person survives this slaughter, having devoured everyone else's talent, Origin, and Luck, then how terrifying would that final survivor be?"

Once these words were spoken, it was like a cold current, instantly coursing through the bodies of all the gods present.

The gods shuddered, shivering in unison. A chill that penetrated to the bone instantly enveloped the entire Divine Realm.

A single Prodigy was not terrifying, even if it was a high-dimensional reincarnated powerhouse, as there was still time and a limit to their growth.

But 180 Prodigies placed together, using an entire continent as a Gu-raising field—that sole winner who emerged from the slaughter was the truly terrifying existence capable of overturning everything.

They had "won" the battle before them and "forced" Qian Chongguang to his death.

But they all knew clearly that from the moment Qian Chongguang cast down those 180 light points of Life and sealed the Douluo Continent, this war had only just begun.

They didn't even dare to think: had Qian Chongguang really died just like that?

He had even created a Clone that they couldn't distinguish; with trump card after trump card, did he really not have a backup plan for resurrection...
