"First-level God..." Lei Chen's consciousness surged within the core of the plane, and a powerful confidence welled up within him.
Once he achieved a first-rank god position, then, with the authority of the Lord of the Plane, dealing with the two Second-level Gods, Tang Hao and Ah Yin, who remained on the Douluo Continent, would be as easy as turning over his hand, leaving no room for doubt.
The imminent qualitative leap in strength meant that the audacious plan he and the Silver Dragon King had devised could finally be officially launched. Delaying further would only increase variables.
Thinking of this, Lei Chen hesitated no longer. He immediately transmitted a thought through the secret connection previously established with the Silver Dragon King, sending it to the underground space at the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest:
"Silver Dragon King, I am prepared on my end and can create a 'commotion' sufficient to alarm the God Realm at any time. What is your situation? When can you act?"
In the underground space, the coiled silver dragon opened and closed its draconic eyes. A sharp glint flashed in its amethyst-like pupils. Her massive dragon body stretched slightly, the spatial energy flowing around her more condensed and active than it had been several years before. Clearly, she had not idled away her time during this preparatory period.
"I have captured the trajectory of the Space-Time Turbulence. Based on its current speed and direction, if forcibly guided, its arrival time can be significantly advanced."
"As for the Golden Dragon King... although the seal is strong, through bloodline resonance, I can faintly sense its savage will. With cooperation from both inside and outside, breaking the seal won't be difficult. It can be said that everything is ready; all we need is the east wind. Are you certain you wish to begin now?"
"Certain!" Lei Chen's reply was resolute and decisive. "I will immediately begin merging with a Demiplane. The commotion from this will be absolutely significant and is certain to alert the God Realm. This is the perfect moment for you to act! While the God Realm focuses its attention on me, you immediately guide the Space-Time Turbulence and stimulate the Golden Dragon King to break its seal!"
The Silver Dragon King's enormous dragon head nodded slightly, returning only a single word, yet it contained immense determination and a chilling aura: "Good."
With the covenant thus established, no more words were needed. Lei Chen instantly withdrew the thought connecting him to the Silver Dragon King, pouring his entire consciousness into the core of the plane.
He glanced at Electrolux's remnant soul being nurtured by the life essence and transmitted a soothing thought: "Lord Electrolux, please steady your mind. The fusion is about to begin. There may be turbulence during the process, but it will not harm you."
A ripple of understanding came from Electrolux's remnant soul.
In the next moment, Lei Chen mobilized the vast authority of the Lord of the Plane. The law energies of the entire Douluo Star began to tremble and converge with an unprecedented intensity, like a calm sea suddenly churning with towering waves!
This immense power was not aimlessly dispersed. Instead, Lei Chen guided it with precision, like an invisible dragon roaring as it charged towards the gray six-pointed star channel leading to the Undead Demi-plane, which Electrolux was maintaining!
Admittedly, Electrolux's current state was poor, and the time he could maintain the channel was limited, but it was already sufficient.
As long as the channel successfully opened for even an instant, allowing Lei Chen's plane consciousness to successfully anchor the coordinates of that Demiplane, Lei Chen could completely rely on his own powerful plane energy to handle the subsequent work of maintaining and widening the channel.
"Boom——!"
Under the frenzied infusion of plane energy, that originally tiny channel, only suitable for consciousness to pass through, was forcibly expanded and stabilized, transforming into a massive spatial vortex with a continuously expanding diameter, its edges crackling with violent energy arcs!
At the other end of the vortex, the desolate, deathly silent landscape of the Undead Demi-plane was clearly visible.
A black sun, dim purple light in the sky, pitch-black earth, wandering undead... all of this formed a stark and eerie contrast to the vibrant Douluo Plane.
Without a moment's hesitation, Lei Chen manipulated the immense foundational energy of the plane, like a bursting flood, directly surging into the spatial vortex, beginning to forcibly envelop, erode, and assimilate the laws of that Undead Demi-plane!
Throughout this process, Lei Chen made no attempt to conceal the massive energy fluctuations and spatial ripples it generated. The fluctuations were so intense that even peak powerhouses on the Douluo Continent, such as those at the Limit Douluo level, faintly felt a palpitation in their hearts, as if some fundamental aspect of heaven and earth was being shaken.
And how could such a massive commotion possibly escape the notice of the God Realm, which hung high above the Douluo Plane and constantly watched over the lower world?
God Realm, Committee.
Tang San, who had been contemplating how to arrange matters for Huo Yuhao next, suddenly frowned sharply. His eyes, containing divine light, instantly pierced through the layers of spatial barriers, precisely fixing their gaze in the direction of Douluo Star.
"Such violent spatial fluctuations and disturbance of the plane's foundational energy... What is this?!" Tang San's divine sense was exceptionally keen; he almost instantly judged the general situation. "The coordinates of an unfamiliar Demiplane have been forcibly connected... Douluo Star's foundational energy is actively devouring and merging with it?!"
This situation caused Tang San's pupils to contract slightly, a flicker of astonishment crossing his face.
For a plane to autonomously devour other planes to seek advancement was not uncommon in the universe, but this was usually driven by the plane's instincts, a slow and hidden process.
A devouring action as fierce, proactive, and even purposeful as the one before him was absolutely impossible for an unconscious plane instinct to achieve!
"Lord of the Plane... The Lord of the Plane of Douluo Star has actually given birth to a complete self-awareness?!" Tang San instantly reached this conclusion, which caused his mood to sink abruptly.
He had arranged for his parents and Spirit Beast brothers to remain in the lower world. While there was certainly a personal desire for them to live in seclusion and enjoy peace, the deeper purpose was to use their divine-level auras to continuously stimulate the Douluo Plane, accelerating the flow and convergence of its fortune, thereby hastening the birth of the 'Child of Fortune' he had selected, Huo Yuhao, for his future control and 'guidance.'
However, he never expected that this stimulation seemed somewhat 'excessive.' The plane's fortune was indeed accelerating its convergence, but the plane itself, under his stimulation, had actually prematurely birthed an 'awareness' beyond his control!
This was absolutely intolerable to him. The Douluo Plane was his planned Backyard and Private Reserve. He would never allow anyone, not even an awareness born from the plane itself, to interfere with his 'arrangements' and 'control' over the Douluo Plane!
Tang San narrowed his eyes, a cold light flickering within them. He instantly made a decision in his heart: 'A Lord of the Plane who has just gained awareness dares to so recklessly devour other planes and stir up waves? Truly courting death!'
'Since that's the case, I might as well take advantage of it not having fully grown yet to erase this unstable awareness! Let Father seize the Lord of the Plane, replacing it to become the new Lord of the Plane; let Mother merge with the life core. This way, the Douluo Plane will completely become the private property of my Tang family, with no more variables whatsoever!'
Just as Tang San's heart was filled with malicious intent and a chilling killing intent, as he prepared to mobilize the authority of the God Realm Committee to more carefully investigate the situation in the lower world and begin arranging intervention methods—at this very moment, the Silver Dragon King acted!
