The discussion did not end with silence.
It ended with responsibility.
After the new law was etched into the Divine Realm Core and the future direction was decided, the four of us remained standing at the center of the fractured heavens, gazing at what was left behind by divine war.
The Divine Realm—was alive.
But it was wounded.
Deeply.
"If we leave the Divine Realm like this," I said slowly, breaking the quiet, "it will take millions of years to recover on its own."
Asura frowned.
"That long… even for a divine realm?"
"Yes," I replied. "And that's just to return to a stable baseline. Reaching the peak it once had—where it governed thousands of worlds and sustained countless gods—would take far longer."
Kindness's gaze drifted toward the broken edges of space in the distance, where reality flickered unnaturally.
"And in that time," she said softly, "countless lower worlds will stagnate… or perish."
Evil crossed his arms.
"So passive recovery is not an option."
"No," I said firmly. "The Divine Realm must be actively healed. Gods cannot remain observers any longer. We caused this damage—directly or indirectly. We are responsible for repairing it."
Asura nodded once.
"Then we work," he said. "Tell us where to start."
I raised my hand again.
"Akashic Record," I commanded, "generate the optimal recovery route to accelerate Divine Realm restoration."
The artifact responded instantly.
The space before us shimmered as layers of information unfolded—far more complex than before. This was not a simple status report. It was a living plan, continuously adjusting as new variables were accounted for.
The Akashic Record's voice—neutral, vast, and precise—echoed within our minds.
Command acknowledged.
Scanning Divine Realm…
Analyzing anomalies…
Generating restoration protocol…
Time passed.
Not seconds.
But something closer to contemplation.
Then the report began.
Primary issue identified:
Widespread space-time distortion across the Divine Realm.
The projection shifted, revealing countless fractured regions. Some twisted like broken mirrors. Others collapsed inward, forming unstable spatial knots. In certain places, time flowed irregularly—accelerating, decelerating, or looping unpredictably.
Cause:
Excessive authority collapse.
Time reversal abuse during divine combat.
Partial ignition of Divine Realm Core.
Evil clicked his tongue.
"No wonder the realm feels unstable. These fractures are everywhere."
Solution proposed:
Deployment of a spatial authority specialist to stabilize space-time nodes.
A new image appeared.
A divine beast.
His form was long and serpentine, with crystalline scales that reflected layers of space itself. His eyes resembled collapsed galaxies—deep, silent, and impossibly old.
Target identified:
Kong Jian
Surviving Divine Beast
Innate authority: Space Stabilization / Dimensional Anchoring
Kindness's eyes widened slightly.
"He survived?"
"Yes," I said. "Barely. Kong Jian withdrew deep into folded space when the Divine War began. His instincts saved him."
Asura nodded approvingly.
"Space beasts are stubborn like that."
Conclusion:
Kong Jian is capable of repairing space-time distortions across the Divine Realm if provided authority endorsement and stable operational zones.
I closed my hand.
"That settles the first task."
The projection shifted again.
Secondary issue identified:
Persistent killing intent and destructive aura across multiple regions.
The display showed zones stained crimson and black, where the echoes of divine slaughter lingered. Laws twisted unnaturally there, reacting violently to any divine presence.
Effect:
Law distortion
Divine Realm Core inefficiency
Inability to properly govern lower realms connected to these regions
Kindness frowned.
"These are scars left by hatred itself."
"Yes," I said. "And they won't fade naturally for a very long time."
Solution proposed:
Active purification through high-level conceptual authorities.
The Akashic Record highlighted three authorities.
Slaughter (Asura)
Evil (Containment & Judgment)
Kindness (Pacification & Healing)
Asura let out a short breath.
"So this falls on us."
Evil nodded.
"It will be exhausting," he said. "These aren't enemies. They're afterimages of war."
"But necessary," Kindness added quietly. "If we leave these scars untouched, the Divine Realm will never truly recover."
Estimated impact:
Accelerates Divine Realm self-repair by over 60%.
Allows Divine Realm Core to redirect energy toward regeneration rather than suppression.
I looked at them.
"This will take time," I said. "And it will be draining. But without this step, everything else is meaningless."
Asura smiled faintly.
"We've fought wars. We can clean up after one."
The projection changed again—this time showing the Divine Realm Core itself.
Critical issue identified:
Loss of elemental authority holders.
The core flickered weakly in certain aspects.
Cause:
Dragon Kings previously monopolized elemental godhoods.
Loss of Dragon Race resulted in authority vacuum.
Evil's eyes sharpened.
"So the Divine Realm no longer has proper elemental management."
"Yes," I said. "Which is why it can only control 108 lower worlds now."
Solution proposed:
Encourage emergence of new elemental gods.
Prioritize balance-oriented godhoods.
The Akashic Record paused—then highlighted two ideal candidates.
Recommended God King Archetypes:
• God of Life
• God of Destruction
Kindness inhaled softly.
"Life… to regenerate. Destruction… to remove decay."
Asura nodded slowly.
"Balanced destruction," he said. "Not slaughter."
Evil smirked.
"If someone understands that difference, they deserve the seat."
Conclusion:
Divine Realm can currently sustain two additional God Kings after initial stabilization.
All eyes turned to me.
"This falls under humanity's domain," Evil said.
"Yes," I replied. "Finding and guiding future gods is my responsibility."
The plan was clear.
I acted immediately.
First, I reached outward.
"Kong Jian," I called—not with force, but with authority.
Space folded.
Reality bent.
And a massive serpentine form emerged from a collapsed spatial layer, his body half-phased, half-manifested.
His gaze sharpened when he saw us.
"…God Kings," Kong Jian said, lowering his head respectfully. "I sensed your call."
I explained everything—briefly, clearly, without embellishment.
The fall of the Dragon Divine Realm.
The damage.
The need.
Kong Jian listened silently.
When I finished, he bowed deeply.
"This realm gave me refuge when the war began," he said. "I will return the favor."
I extended my authority.
"From this moment onward," I declared, "Kong Jian is appointed Guardian of the Divine Realm, entrusted with space-time stabilization and anomaly suppression."
The Divine Realm Core resonated faintly.
The title was accepted.
Kong Jian straightened, eyes glowing with renewed purpose.
"I will not fail," he said.
And vanished—already at work.
Next, I turned to the others.
"Asura," I said, "you will target high-density slaughter zones. Your authority is best suited to disperse violent residues."
He nodded.
"Understood."
"Evil," I continued, "you will seal unstable regions where killing aura has condensed into semi-autonomous law distortions."
A sharp smile.
"My specialty."
"Kindness," I said last, "you will cleanse transitional zones—areas where lower realms connect to the Divine Realm. Stabilizing those will protect countless worlds."
She bowed her head slightly.
"I'll begin immediately."
No hesitation.
No debate.
This was not governance.
This was repair work.
Just as we were about to disperse—
Asura paused.
"There's one thing," he said.
We all looked at him.
"This realm," he continued. "It was called the Dragon Divine Realm. That name no longer fits."
Evil raised an eyebrow.
"True. And it shouldn't carry the shadow of dragons anymore."
Kindness turned to me.
"What do you think?"
I didn't hesitate.
"This realm is anchored to Douluo Dalu now," I said. "Its fate is intertwined with that world."
I paused.
"It should be called the Douluo Divine Realm."
The Divine Realm Core responded subtly—approval rippling through its weakened laws.
Asura nodded.
"Simple. Fitting."
Evil shrugged.
"A name is the least of our worries."
Kindness smiled faintly.
"But it matters," she said. "Names carry intent."
With that settled, we parted.
Asura vanished in a flash of crimson authority, heading toward the most violent remnants of the war.
Evil dissolved into shadow, moving toward fractured law zones where destruction had crystallized.
Kindness ascended toward the realm's periphery, where lower worlds still clung to the Divine Realm like fragile leaves.
And I—
I remained.
For a moment.
Alone at the heart of the Douluo Divine Realm.
I looked at the Divine Realm Core—dim, cracked, but still beating.
"This won't be easy," I murmured.
The Akashic Record hovered quietly beside me.
Restoration has begun.
I clenched my fist.
"Then so have we."
Humanity had inherited a broken heaven.
And now—
We would prove whether we deserved to keep it.
