It was not an irregular, spherical celestial body like the Douluo Plane, but a vast floating continent suspended in the cosmos.
At the dawn of chaos, the heavens were void, and the earth was formless.
It was a state of:
"Before chaos split into heaven and earth, all was confusion, boundless and unseen."
To bring everything in this newborn divine realm into the realm of the knowable and visible, Di Tian began weaving the chains of order in this new world.
The shaping of this order took a full seven days.
On the first day, heaven and earth opened, yin and yang split, and the world gained the dual colors of black and white.He plucked starry clouds and made feathered picks, crafting a grand zither with black and white keys.Striking the white keys, the sun rose; striking the black keys, the moon rose.Thus, day and night were born.
On the second day...
For six consecutive days, the newborn divine realm gradually took shape. From a divine embryonic form, it evolved into a land capable of nurturing the continued growth of deities, suffused with divine spiritual essence.
On the seventh day, Di Tian paused for a long while, unable to finalize the shape of the new divine realm.
His hesitation came from pondering whether to bind himself completely to the realm he created.
Regarding plane consciousness, there is little difference between the divine realm and lower planes—both have a Plane Master position.
The newborn divine realm had yet to birth its own consciousness.
And since Di Tian personally created it, binding himself as the Plane Master of the new divine realm was entirely feasible.
Once he became its master, he could overlook every corner of the divine realm—omniscient and omnipotent.
Of course, it would also mean a certain loss of freedom.
After deep contemplation, only as the seventh day of creation neared its end did Di Tian make his decision:
Secure the position of Plane Master first, then figure out how to steal back a bit more freedom.
What he willed, he acted upon.
Suspended above the sky of the new divine continent, his body began to blur and expand. His senses stretched in all directions until they enveloped the entire new divine realm.
Under Di Tian's will, now as the Divine Realm's Master, the material form of the new divine realm began to finalize completely.
Its once irregular edges gradually became structured.
It took on a shape with narrower ends and a slightly elongated center.
Altogether, it resembled a divine ship sailing through the cosmic sea.
Though still countless times larger than any lower plane, it remained a mere speck in the vast universe.
However, within it were hidden countless worlds, each with their own inner heavens and dimensions.
Inside one of those cave heavens lay a massive planet, teeming with vibrant life—the Douluo Plane, now encompassed within the new divine realm.
In its finalized divine ship shape, the new divine realm was capable of offense, defense, and escape—its mobility far surpassed ordinary divine realms. This, uniquely, fulfilled Di Tian's desire for freedom.
With the perfect creation of the new divine realm, the once-chaotic order settled into law and structure.
This stable divine order, originating from Di Tian, the realm's master, began expanding wildly across the cosmos, seeking to reclaim the hundreds of lower planes that once belonged to the original Douluo Divine Realm.
The first to be successfully reclaimed were the life planets and star systems that Di Tian had passed through during his expedition across the star sea.
The planets he deliberately marked with coordinates were swiftly and smoothly incorporated into the new divine realm.
As for the life planets he never discovered, yet had once belonged to the original Douluo Divine Realm, reclaiming them would be a long-term mission.
There was no rush—nor could it be rushed.
Only after cleaning the house can you welcome guests in.
Within this completely controlled divine realm, inside one of its cave heavens, on the Douluo Plane therein—
Time flowed like light between the fingers—fleeting and swift.
While the creation of the new divine realm spanned seven days, this corresponded to an immense passage of time within the Douluo Plane.
Because Tang San had seized the foundation of the original Douluo Divine Realm, he miraculously enabled Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er to successfully inherit the God-King-level divine thrones of Destruction and Life.
Far away, inside a cosmic black hole, the Douluo Divine Realm could be seen through its misty divine aura, now scarred by two massive holes.
The once grand realm looked like an ancient tree ravaged for years, now eaten hollow by worms, leaving behind two pits impossible to mend.
At the edge of one abyssal pit, Tang San himself stood silently, gazing at the direction where the divine thrones of Destruction and Life had been carried away by torrents of mighty energy.
"Go!"
After a brief pause, he shouted, leading his group of divine beings to the battlefield for the war against the Six Divine Realms—the Ancient God Ruins.
At the front was Tang San himself, followed by the deities from the Douluo Divine Realm:
Ji Dong, current God of Evil
Lie Yan, current God of Good
Rong Nianbing, former God of Emotion
Huo Yuhao, current God of Emotion
Zhou Weiqing, current God of Damage
Alongside them were eight supporting deities, prepared to assist covertly:
Tang Wutong, the Butterfly God, a Second-Level deity
Seven First-Level Elemental Gods
Not to mention the seven original sin god positions that Tang San personally held, along with their remaining divine power.
Though said to be "six versus six," in reality it was twenty-one versus seven.
Because the opposing side's Zither Emperor Ye Yinzhu, one of the God-Kings, also had a life-linked partner—the king of the Behemoth race, Purple Emperor, the Amethyst Behemoth.
Of course, like Tang Wutong and the seven elemental gods, Purple Emperor was not among the starting six combatants.
They were held in reserve—as the hidden trump cards.
The six frontline figures standing ahead of Purple Emperor were the six God-Kings, representing six different divine realms:
Chang Gongwei, Divine Realm of the Son of Light
Ye Yinzhu, Divine Realm of the Zither Emperor
Ah Dai, Divine Realm of the Death God
Lei Xiang, Divine Realm of the Mad God
Hailong, Divine Realm of the Immortal Emperor
Tian Hen, Divine Realm of the Heavenly Emperor
Beyond the participating God-Kings were their massive harems—deities who now served dual roles as spectators and cheerleaders.
At the front of the harem were many goddesses, and in sheer numbers, the Six Divine Realms greatly outmatched the Douluo Divine Realm.
At the crucial moment, Xiao Wu unleashed the full might of the Asura God's divine power, boldly asserting dominance and slightly balancing the morale.
After being the scabbard of the Asura Sword for so many years, she had indeed absorbed some of its divine essence.
Of course, it was merely a trace of divine essence. Any God-King could easily crush her into "Bunny Paste" with a flick of their finger.
Despite supposedly "sharing" a divine throne with Tang San, in reality, both the Sea God and Asura God thrones were bound to Tang San.
Now, even the thrones themselves had been destroyed at Di Tian's hands.
Moreover, Xiao Wu was now consumed by lovesickness, physically weak and frail.
To say she could be flattened into "Bunny Paste" by a God-King's finger was not an exaggeration—it was the truth.
The confrontational aura between the two sides created a tense and explosive atmosphere. The great battle could break out at any moment.
And the site of this impending war was not just the Ancient God Ruins.
Another battlefield lay in the Douluo Plane.
On the Star Luo Continent, two beams of light—one purple, one green—shot into the sky.
Bathed in the glow were two inheritors of divine thrones:
Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er, candidates for the thrones of Destruction and Life.
