--- Chapter 334 ---
Alpha and Beta laughed excitedly for a while before eventually stopping out of realization.
"Divine World..." Alpha muttered.
"Yeah, it wasn't easy to achieve." Beta nodded in agreement.
They realized the path of evolving their 'meeting room' into a Divine World or Domain wasn't far-fetched. Yet, the difficulty is on a whole other level.
Why? Well, because even after obtaining the luck of the Douluo Plane and the Dou Qi Plane, the change is significant, but not to the point of helping them break the rules of the world.
Now, imagine how many worlds and planes Han Yuan has to collect their fortunes from to evolve the 'meeting room' into a Divine Domain. Five, ten, twenty, or even hundreds? Even Han Yuan couldn't confidently answer this question.
Of course, the accumulation of luck they have gathered so far also brings a surprise for them.
The 'table' between them is the very proof of it. Made of pure, condensed luck, this 'table' is the embodiment of authority over the passage between two worlds, allowing Alpha and Beta to access both worlds physically for a limited amount of time.
Yes, the word 'physically' is crucial in this regard because it means Alpha could access the Dou Qi Plane, and vice versa, Beta could also access the Douluo Plane.
Not only could Alpha and Beta help each other in peril, but their soul also could become whole again, unleashing 100% of Han Yuan's might. In fact, no, maybe more because the Beta's part has grown stronger after staying in the Dou Qi Plane for years.
Don't forget that Beta was originally a pinky finger that Alpha split off the main soul. Yet, Beta has grown tremendously strong in just a few years and could provide 'Han Yuan' with a massive boost of strength.
If Han Yuan did this method a few more times, cultivating his soul to the point of making it a Divine Soul is not impossible. By then, he could do a lot more things. The pain and time aside, the result is worth it.
"After all, there are more worlds out there than Douluo World and Dou Qi Continent." Their journey is just getting started.
"Well, besides instant teleportation, this 'table' doesn't seem to possess another skill." Beta commented lightly. He eyed it up and down while using the Eyes of Truth, but couldn't find anything else.
Alpha shook his head gently, "The table just evolved, there is no way it could display broken ability one after another right away. We need to gather more luck to make it evolve again."
"For now, teleportation is enough."
"Don't forget it's not just you and me who can teleport."
"We can also send people on our side to another world."
"Hmm, you're right," Beta nodded easily. "Then, let's name this table, shall we?"
"..." Alpha.
"You have been wanting to do it since you knew its ability, huh?"
Beta chuckled and then shrugged, "Hehe, I can't help it."
"While we can use each other's powers through the Authority of Dream. This 'table' is convenient, and it could connect us to various worlds with the help of System and the Void."
"I think naming it Yggdrasil is good, right?"
"Beta, in what shape and form do you think naming a freaking 'table' with Yggdrasil, which is a world tree, is appropriate?" Alpha's mouth twitched in disbelief.
"The ability is appropriate." Beta retorted.
Alpha snorted, "Change it."
"Yggdrasil is too overused."
"We don't use a cliche name here."
"Damn, you're challenging me!" Beta couldn't help but curse.
"Then, what about the Round Table?"
Alpha rolled his eyes, "None of us are knights, nor is the 'table' round; it doesn't even have a proper shape."
"Do you think I don't know that you just wanted to swing a sword around and shout 'Excalibur' like Saber? Dude, we are literally the same person."
"Choose another name."
Beta grumbled unhappily, "So what if I want to shout Excalibur left and right, hmph. You can't appreciate my vision at all."
Alpha sighed as they both fell into a deep thought. After a lengthy session of discussion, they finally decided on a name.
Providence of All Realms, or in short, just Providence!
The reason they chose such a name is that Providence is going to be an object of faith soon, gatherer of countless worlds' luck. Not only that, once Providence gathered enough luck, granting a wish might not be impossible.
After all, Providence is a higher perspective of luck and fortune, allowing Han Yuan to become a deity through countless refinements.
Even though the process is slow, the result is guaranteed.
"What are you going to do next, Beta?" asked Alpha while leaning on his throne lazily.
"Nothing much, I guess," Beta answered helplessly. "Now that the Jia Nan Academy has discovered my real cultivation, staying lowkey in the Outer Court is no longer possible."
"Elder Su Qian would definitely drag me to the Inner Court or even make me graduate early."
Alpha saw the situation and remarked, "Ultimately, given how close you're with Zi Yan, Han Xiayue, and some other students in the academy, that Olf Man couldn't possibly make you graduate."
"He loves talent too much, and as a matter of fact, he might let you stay in the Outer Court for a few more months to settle things in the Inner Court before letting you in."
"Why..." Beta narrowed his eyes slightly.
Alpha smiled, "Because he wasn't blind."
"Twelve years old, and with the cultivation of Dou King at that."
"Your character wasn't bad either."
"Not to mention, you just received a literal baptism of fortune from the Qilin, which is, by the way, prepared by the Old Headmaster to help the academy grow."
"Only a blind, mindless manager of a faction would let such a shining diamond go."
"He would do anything to keep you in the academy."
"Your cultivation actually doesn't matter, you've shown them enough for the last few months, what matters is..."
"My existence." Beta finished Alpha's words with a smirk.
"Bingo!" Alpha snapped his finger.
"As expected of my other self, you're quite bright."
"..." Beta.
"Are you saying that I wasn't as smart as you?"
Alpha flashed an innocent smile, "What, of course not!"
Beta raised his hand, wanting to smack Alpha out of frustration, but he sighed in the end, "Whatever."
"You're going to face a headache yourself."
"I will let you off this time."
Alpha's smug look quickly turned into indifference. He sneered, "A bunch of slow spirit beasts aren't enough to make me sweat. Only those Ferocious Beasts in the Core Area could give me a challenge."
"Whoa, cold," Beta replied with a chuckle. "Even then, that's true, I guess, because I couldn't imagine ordinary 100,000, no, 200,000-year-old spirit beasts could scratch even your skin."
Although the time difference between the two worlds is far apart, Beta could still see that Alpha made an improvement over the Divine Arts he had developed, and it wasn't a small one.
If Beta had to face Alpha right now, even he wasn't confident in winning against him. Yes, he has some cheats, but Alpha is the definition of a cheater with 'admin' privileges.
What a damn monster!
Many people in the Dou Qi Plane believed Beta was a monster because the so-called 'genius' didn't fit the things he had achieved. Yet, only Beta himself knew who the true monster was.
Beta knew he was merely a fragment of Han Yuan, his pinky finger.
And he inherited many of Han Yuan's qualities and talents.
However, he lacks something that Alpha always has.
Madness!
Han Yuan's hatred, rage, and very will to avenge the unfairness he had experienced in his second life is so damn powerful that it affects Alpha and Beta as a whole.
Still, when Alpha split Beta's part off, Beta only inherited a meager amount of Han Yuan's madness.
That madness is not only a fuel to drive Alpha to cultivate and reach what he has today, but also what makes Beta inferior.
'And that's what makes him the true monster…' Beta thought while gazing at Alpha deeply.
