---------------------------------------------------------------------
As time passed, Ye Wen developed new ideas for the design of the divine realm. What was once the core of the divine realm, Heaven Beyond Heaven, now had a different purpose, replaced by an entirely new layer called Primordial Heaven as the first level.
Thus, the basic framework of the twelve-layered divine realm was preserved.
As for the core of the divine realm, Heaven Beyond Heaven, Ye Wen cleverly placed it within the Plane Consciousness's space.
Ordinary beings could not enter this space at all. The relationship between this universe and Douluo Star was akin to the difference between a universal network and a local area network in his previous life. After Ye Wen's improvements, even God King-level experts without permission could no longer enter.
This ensured the utmost safety of Heaven Beyond Heaven as the core of the divine realm.
Moreover, with the World Consciousness acting as a guardian, any issues would be immediately detected. There would never be a ridiculous situation where enemies could infiltrate right up to their doorstep without being noticed.
On the day the Douluo Divine Realm was officially established, Ye Wen summoned all true god-level experts to attend the celebration.
The location of the Douluo Divine Realm was at the core of Douluo Star's rotation, resonating with the planet through a special force field.
This design not only significantly reduced the operational costs of the divine realm but also leveraged Douluo Star's powerful gravitational pull to ensure the divine realm wouldn't get lost in interdimensional turbulence.
(A/N: Old divine realm, you might as well just call me out -_-||)
With the operation of the new divine realm, the faith energy from all the life-bearing planets under Ye Wen's conquest—which previously had to be transported in batches—was now concentrated and automatically drawn into the divine realm.
For a moment, Ye Wen's divine realm felt like the Celestial Court from his past life, leaving him momentarily dazed.
But soon, a self-satisfied smile spread across Ye Wen's face.
An unparalleled sense of accomplishment filled his heart. It was all his—it was all his creation.
During this period, Ye Wen and Snow Empress's youngest daughter was born. Ye Wen named her Ye Tianxue—a simple yet unexpectedly fitting name.
The entire family rejoiced sincerely at the birth of this new life. Especially the older siblings, who were already tens of thousands of years old and still single, doted on her endlessly.
However, there were always differing opinions within the family.
Yue Na and Na'er also adored this newly born little princess. But after some time, they began to feel a surge of jealousy.
They had come first, yet the newcomers had produced offspring first—this was a challenge to their position in the family.
After friendly negotiations among Yue Na, Na'er, and the rest of Ye Wen's wives, Ye Wen was dragged into the room by the two women and subjected to a century of "torment."
Finally, perseverance paid off.
Yue Na and Na'er successfully conceived their long-awaited children.
Ye Wen, lying lazily in a chair, looked at the two women glowing with maternal radiance and sighed in relief. Even gods couldn't endure centuries of relentless labor.
Nearly a year later, Na'er gave birth to a boy. Ye Wen named him Ye Tianluo, hoping he would grow as strong as the celestial net in "heavenly net covering the earth."
However, Yue Na, who had been pregnant simultaneously, showed no signs of giving birth. Her belly was only slightly swollen, barely resembling a pregnant woman.
The family found this somewhat surprising. Though Yue Na appeared to be a dignified and elegant human beauty, she was, in essence, the Silver Dragon King—the ruler of dragonkind.
It was common for dragons to have long gestation periods.
But Yue Na's pregnancy lasted an unusually long time. After a full millennium, she finally laid a silver dragon egg.
Ah…
Ye Wen looked awkwardly at the dragon egg. He had expected to see his eagerly awaited child but hadn't anticipated the need to incubate an egg.
(Sigh, Yue Na, a dragon, lays eggs, while Na'er, a human, gives birth directly. How scientific, Ye Wen thought sarcastically.)
Regardless of whether the child was a human-dragon hybrid or otherwise, Ye Wen loved any child of his.
Having ascended to godhood, there was no need for Ye Wen and his wife to painstakingly incubate the dragon egg using primitive methods. High-tech incubators took care of everything.
Ye Wen sensed the life energy contained within the dragon egg—it was incredibly vast.
He couldn't help but marvel. No wonder it had taken a thousand years to gestate. Even the energy that hadn't fully matured was close to the Divine Official level. At birth, the child might even approach the Third-Tier God level.
If not for the constraints of divine positions, the child might have been born as a Third-Tier God—a natural-born divine being. Truly terrifying!
While Ye Wen was contemplating how extraordinary his child would be, something seemed to occur to him.
Turning to Yue Na beside him, he asked, "Nana, can this child develop consciousness when nearing full maturity and only hatch after fully forming?"
Yue Na, who had finally escaped her pregnant state and felt much lighter, didn't know why Ye Wen was asking this but instinctively replied,
"All children of true dragon bloodlines are like this. Their intelligence varies depending on the dragon. A child born from a union like ours—two God Kings—should possess exceptionally high innate intelligence.
If we provide prenatal education when the child begins to develop initial consciousness, they could achieve the intelligence of a normal child upon hatching. Why do you ask?"
Hearing this, Ye Wen fell into deep thought.
"What if I share my divine core with this child? Could they reach the Third-Tier or even Second-Tier God level at birth?"
Yue Na, who had been observing the dragon egg, was stunned.
The reason Ye Wen estimated that this child could reach the peak of Divine Official level at birth—with potential close to a Third-Tier God—was due to the lack of a divine position.
But did Ye Wen lack divine cores or faith energy? The answer was no.
So, given these conditions, why not maximize the child's strength from the start?
As for concerns about a child being too strong to discipline—hmph, if this little one dared to act up, did they think the family of God Kings was just for show?
Yue Na also pondered the feasibility of this idea. After careful consideration, she nodded thoughtfully.
This matter… had potential.
This child was special. Yue Na's inherent creative power allowed her to clearly sense that this dragon egg possessed a unique multi-attribute origin, and the source of these attributes was none other than Ye Wen.
No wonder Ye Wen had such a sudden inspiration. In terms of attributes alone, this child was the most similar to Ye Wen.
At this moment, in Yue Na's eyes, Ye Wen was no less impressive than the former Dragon God. The inclusiveness of his divine position surpassed even that of the Dragon God.
In a way, the Vast Sea God position truly was the most suitable divine role for their precious child.
