Chapter 88 A New Journey
As time flows by, many years have quietly passed, perhaps even longer. In the mysterious and vast Douluo God Realm, a sense of tranquility and gloom pervades the God Realm Committee.
"Alas! When will this tedious and boring life ever end?" Qian Renxue, one of the God Kings and an angel, leaned lazily against her chair and sighed softly. A hint of helplessness and weariness was visible on her beautiful face.
The realm of gods, seemingly sacred and solemn, is actually an extremely boring place. For those complacent, desireless gods, it is like paradise.
They only needed to report to the committee each day, and then they could while away their time as they pleased, living a carefree life. However, for those gods who harbored great ambitions and yearned to become ever stronger, the divine realm was like a cage that imprisoned their freedom.
The various restrictions imposed by divine status are like an insurmountable wall, firmly binding their growth. Without leaving the divine realm, they will likely never achieve self-breakthrough in this lifetime.
What's even more frustrating is that, no matter how unwilling they are, the gods still have to stick to their posts and fulfill their corresponding duties.
Although there's not much difference between doing these tasks and not doing them, we still have to deal with them, just to pass the time.
As for Yu, the ruler of the divine realm, he had long since seen through the illusions of the mortal world and chosen to escape this hustle and bustle. He firmly believed, "Going to work? I will never go to work in this lifetime! I have already become a god, how can I be subject to such constraints?"
Time flies, and the Management Committee is no longer what it used to be. The once bustling scene, filled with gods, is long gone. Now, only Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong remain, struggling to keep things afloat.
The other god-kings, on the other hand, were like idle fish, indifferent to worldly affairs and doing nothing all day long.
All these changes were caused by a mysterious and unpredictable powerful being. This being used his extraordinary abilities to drag the Douluo Continent and the Douluo God Realm to the edge of the Primordial World.
Since then, the Douluo Continent has undergone earth-shattering changes. Its original name, Douluo Star, was just an ordinary planet, and beyond the planet was a small, vast universe.
However, that powerful being used his supreme strength to separate Douluo Star and the Douluo God Realm from that universe and meticulously created a brand new world.
This brand-new Douluo world has been completely transformed, leaping into the Middle Thousand Worlds, radiating unprecedented vitality and energy.
Thanks to its proximity to the primordial world, the new Douluo world continuously draws upon abundant spiritual energy, like rain after a long drought. What was once considered a mere stepping stone in the fantasy genre has finally undergone a magnificent transformation, achieving a qualitative leap.
Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. Since the founding of the Martial Soul Empire, those who became gods back then have all departed. Some of them did not even manage to hold onto their godhood for a thousand years before choosing to flee.
Among them are many renowned figures, such as the Poison God Dugu Bo, the Seven Kill Sword God Chen Xin, the Thunder God Yu Yuanzhen, the Nine Treasures God Ning Fengzhi, and the Angel God's subordinate god Qian Daoliu.
"Buzz~" Suddenly, a low buzzing sound broke the long silence. "Hey, Mom, look! His divine position has been touched!" With an exclamation, everyone's eyes turned to the divine position that was flickering with a faint light...
The Divine Realm Council is a gathering place for all gods, among whom the six highest-ranking members are five God-Kings and one God-Emperor. Before fleeing in haste because he couldn't attend any of the council's meetings, God-Emperor Yu Tianming made a surprising move—he placed the God-Emperor's legacy within the council.
This means that when someone meets the conditions he sets, the divine position will issue a warning, informing Qian Renxue and the other gods. Faced with this situation, everyone fell into deep thought. "Let's observe further before making a decision. How can his divine position be passed down so easily?"
The speaker was Bibi Dong, her voice revealing an undisguised excitement. Everyone knew that if Yu Tianming truly left, they would follow him.
Meanwhile, in a faraway place, there exists a magical place called the Martial Soul Continent (because it was renamed Martial Soul after the victory).
It shines like a bright pearl, quietly floating on one side of the primordial world. This vast continent shares the same blazing sun, the same bright moon, and the same boundless starry sky with the primordial world.
Since obtaining the inexhaustible spiritual energy, the Martial Soul Continent seems to have been infused with an endless source of power, and its overall combat strength has been boosted by leaps and bounds.
Although the pinnacle that humans can reach on the Spirit Continent is still the Title Douluo level, the actual combat ability of each Spirit Master has become exceptionally powerful, enough to make people take notice.
Eleven thousand years have passed since the beginning of the Martial Soul Era. Throughout this long history, the Martial Soul Empire has stood firm for over ten thousand years, its national strength remaining prosperous and its royal family's esteemed status unshakeable.
However, after such a long period of time, the royal family of the Martial Soul Empire has undergone earth-shattering changes. Looking back, the royal family only consisted of two major families, the Yu family and the Qian family. Yu Tianming, due to a fortuitous opportunity, enjoyed enormous benefits, and therefore did not ask Qian Renxue to change her surname, thus making the Qian family's lineage closely linked to the Yu family, and inseparable in life and death.
As time passed to the reign of the second emperor, his harem was filled with numerous beauties, and the power of his maternal relatives was immense. Among them, the Shui family, representing Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, and the Ning family of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School were the most prominent. Through tens of thousands of years of continuous intermarriage, these families had become one, as unbreakable as the Great Wall of Steel.
It is worth mentioning that this powerful alliance has never engaged in intermarriage with outsiders, maintaining its internal seclusion and stability. As its global standing has risen, the royal family's position has become increasingly secure, like a towering mountain, difficult to shake.
Furthermore, the royal family enjoyed an extremely high reputation and prestige among the people. Legend has it that the second emperor established an ancestral precept: "The royal family may enjoy all the riches and honors, but the common people must also have a share; if one day the people cannot even enjoy a bowl of hot soup, then this royal family will no longer have any reason to exist!" It was precisely because this ancestral precept was deeply rooted in people's hearts that the relationship between the royal family and the people was harmonious and peaceful, jointly forging the glorious era of the Martial Soul Empire.
Admittedly, there were also dissolute individuals within the aristocratic class who wantonly oppressed and exploited the people, and such people often met tragic ends.
The Soul Master Academy of the Spirit Empire was an immensely large institution. On this vast plaza stood hundreds of young children. Today was a crucial day for these children to awaken their Martial Souls.
Here, awakening one's martial soul is completely free of charge. Not only that, but enrolling in a junior soul master academy is also free.
Even more enticing is that anyone who becomes a Soul Master can receive up to 5,000 Martial Soul Coins as a reward every month before reaching the Soul Venerable realm, and this treatment will continue until they turn twenty.
Over the course of countless millennia, the Martial Soul Empire has undergone numerous reforms and adjustments to its social welfare system for commoners. A monthly income of five thousand Martial Soul coins is more than enough for an ordinary family to live a comfortable and affluent life. It should be noted that nowadays, the average citizen's monthly salary is only around two thousand.
In this era, the population of the Spirit Empire has soared to an astonishing 60 billion! However, despite such a large population, the number of people with the qualifications to become Spirit Masters has not increased accordingly.
This martial soul system is extremely troublesome because it places great emphasis on the inheritance of bloodlines, as if an insurmountable chasm lies between commoners and soul masters, making it virtually impossible for ordinary people to give birth to a soul master.
"Your Highness, please don't be too nervous. You are a descendant of the Holy Ancestor." Among a group of six-year-old children, a blonde little girl stood out.
"Of course I'm nervous!" The exquisitely beautiful blonde loli, who looked like a porcelain doll, rolled her eyes in annoyance and muttered to herself: Who knows if she is the unlucky "African chief" (someone with extremely bad luck)? What if she gets a martial soul mutation or something? Wouldn't she be completely doomed?
This adorable blonde little girl is named Yu Jiaojiao, and she is only six years old. She is a direct descendant of the royal family. The current emperor is her own aunt, and her father is a prince of the empire. From a bloodline perspective alone, Yu Jiaojiao is undoubtedly one of the strongest contenders for the next throne.
It's well known that power struggles within the royal family are incredibly brutal and fierce, with intrigue and deception being commonplace. There are even rumors that the current emperor ascended the throne by murdering his own elder brother!
Faced with such a complex and perilous court environment, it's no wonder that young Yu Jiaojiao longed to travel back to the relatively simple and pure Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago.
Yu Jiaojiao stood there with a troubled expression, quietly waiting for the martial soul awakening ceremony to begin. Her heart was filled with tension and unease, because she knew she carried the expectations of her family on her shoulders.
Several of her older siblings had already undergone the awakening of their martial spirit, but the results were unsatisfactory, which greatly disappointed their father. Now, all their hopes were pinned on Yu Jiaojiao, their youngest child.
From childhood, Yu Jiaojiao had always been the beloved darling of the Prince's mansion, regarded as the apple of his eye. However, at this moment, she could not enjoy the happiness that this affection brought as usual. Instead, her heart was filled with fear and worry.
Because if her martial soul mutated and became Luo Sanpao... what kind of fate awaited her then? She simply couldn't imagine!
As time passed, Yu Jiaojiao felt her heart beating faster and faster, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.
Ahem, everyone, do you want to see the original God King Tang San transmigrate to the Martial Soul Continent? Hehehe, if you want to see it, remember to vote!
