Lei Chen's mood had been very bad lately because several "massive" foreign objects had appeared in his body.
Through the perspective of the plane, looking at the couple leisurely traveling in a place of beautiful scenery, and the pair of brothers drinking happily on a high mountain peak, Lei Chen felt completely helpless, with a sentence in his heart that he simply had to vent.
Tang San! I curse your ancestors!
I remember that the deities of the God Realm aren't allowed to descend to the lower realms as they please, right? That bastard Tang San is something else; after becoming the Enforcer of the God Realm, he actually knowingly broke the law, openly violating the rules of the God Realm by allowing his parents, who possess Second-level God positions, and his Spirit Beast brothers, who are God Officers, to stay in the lower realm for a long time. He even calls it 'living in seclusion'—how the hell is that allowed?
Those guys are having a great time living in seclusion here, but Lei Chen is suffering.
As a transmigrator, for some unknown reason, Lei Chen simply took a nap and then inexplicably transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, directly becoming the Lord of the Plane of Douluo Star.
Logically speaking, transmigrating as the Lord of the Plane should be a good thing. After all, given the energy intensity of Douluo Star, the status of its Lord of the Plane is equivalent to a Second-level God. Starting out as a Second-level God—isn't that much better than transmigrating as a little kid who hasn't even awakened a Spirit yet?
However, Lei Chen's life as the Lord of the Plane wasn't as comfortable as imagined. There was no helping it; who told him there was a God Realm hanging over his head, and within that God Realm, a God King who was constantly plotting against his plane?
Because Tang San, this God King, originally ascended to the God Realm from the Douluo Continent, in his heart, the Douluo Plane was naturally his back garden and private land. He wouldn't allow anything to happen on the Douluo Plane that was beyond his control.
To this end, Tang San even left his parents and Spirit Beast brothers on the Douluo Continent. Under these circumstances, it would be a miracle if Lei Chen, as the Lord of the Plane, could have a good life.
Actually, to Lei Chen, Tang San's pair of Spirit Beast brothers—the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape—weren't much. After all, these two were just the lowest-ranking God Officers. If Lei Chen wanted to, dealing with them would be as easy as turning over his hand. But Tang San's parents were a real threat to Lei Chen.
Tang Hao and Ah Yin were genuine Second-level Gods, equal in status to Lei Chen, the Lord of the Plane. In the original story, they later became the Lord of the Plane and the Life Core of Douluo Star with Tang San's help.
So here comes the problem: if Tang Hao becomes the Lord of the Plane of Douluo Star, what does that make Lei Chen? What kind of end would he face? One doesn't even need to think to know that his consciousness would be completely wiped out, leaving him with only a dead end.
Under the threat of true death, Lei Chen inevitably felt a sense of urgency. No matter what, he absolutely could not sit and wait for death. He had to find a way to solve this problem and ensure his own safety.
To solve the threat he faced, in Lei Chen's view, two things had to be achieved: first, to completely sever the God Realm's interference with the Douluo Plane, and second, to strengthen the Douluo Plane itself as much as possible.
The first point goes without saying. With a God King like Tang San who treats the Douluo Plane as his own back garden, if Lei Chen doesn't find a way to completely sever the God Realm's interference, then all his plans are empty talk. So this is something he must do. As for how to achieve it, in Lei Chen's view, it wasn't actually that difficult.
After all, in the original story, the God Realm was later swept away by Space-Time Turbulence. Lei Chen only needed to find a way to make the Space-Time Turbulence arrive a bit earlier to make the God Realm get lost ahead of time, thereby completely severing the God Realm's interference.
As for the second point, that's a bit more troublesome because wanting to strengthen the Douluo Plane itself is no easy task.
In the original story, the Douluo Plane only successfully promoted to a Quasi-God Realm after devouring the Abyss Plane. But right now, the Abyss Plane is still tucked away in some unknown corner. Even if Lei Chen wanted to swallow it, he couldn't find it, and even if he did, he wouldn't have the strength to swallow it. So this method definitely wouldn't work in the short term.
Since that method won't work, he'll just have to find another way. Lei Chen could completely refer to, or rather borrow, the God Realm's method of strengthening itself.
The God Realm's method of strengthening itself is actually very simple. When a new god capable of creating their own God Position through enough Power Of Faith appears in its subordinate planes, the God Realm only needs to absorb these new gods and integrate their self-created God Positions into the God Realm. This way, the volume of the God Realm naturally expands.
Since the God Realm can strengthen itself in this way, then their Douluo Plane naturally can as well. As long as a few geniuses who create their own God Positions appear on the Douluo Plane, and those positions are integrated into the Douluo Plane instead of the God Realm, then the plane level of the Douluo Plane can also increase, gradually moving towards becoming a Quasi-God Realm.
However, this method isn't very easy either. Looking at the hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of history of the Douluo Plane, geniuses capable of creating their own God Positions are few and far between. If he really relied on this method for the Douluo Plane to promote, it would take forever.
Fortunately, although creating a God Position from nothing is hard, reforging a God Position on an existing basis isn't quite as difficult.
During the long years of the Douluo Plane's existence, some deities fell here for various reasons, and their God Positions were also shattered here.
As long as Lei Chen finds those God Positions shattered within his own plane and finds a way to reforge them, he can then integrate these reforged God Positions into his own plane, thereby driving the plane's promotion.
This method is not only relatively simple but also highly feasible. So, after having this idea, Lei Chen acted immediately. Through the perspective of the Lord of the Plane, he quickly identified the God Positions shattered within his "body."
"Thunder God, Ice God, God of Angels, God of Love... Good heavens, these are all first-rank god positions."
One must know that even in the God Realm, there are only eighteen First-level Gods, and he has four here in the Douluo Plane. Even if they are shattered God Positions, it's still astonishing.
"Four first-rank god positions... Let me think, how are these God Positions to be reforged? Or rather, who should they be given to for reforging..."
"First is the Ice God Position; there's no need to hesitate on this one, just give it to the Snow Empress to reforge."
"She is a being formed from the condensation of the purest ice-attribute Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, naturally compatible with the Ice God Position. Furthermore, she is the ruler of the Extreme North Land, making it easier to gather the Power Of Faith there. If she does it, it'll just take a little guidance; there's basically no difficulty."
"Then there's the angel god position, no need to worry about that either, just leave it to Qian Renxue's descendants to complete. Although Qian Renxue shattered her own God Position, she at least left the Angelic Sacred Sword on the Douluo Continent. With this divine tool as a carrier, reforging the angel god position won't be difficult."
