----------

After parting from the World Tree and its newly revealed children, I did not linger in Douluo Dalu.

That world was stable—for now.

But what I had witnessed there carried implications far beyond a single planet.

With a single thought, my consciousness withdrew from the lower realm and returned to the Douluo Divine Plane, reappearing at the very heart of it all—the Divine Realm Core, where the Akashic Record resided.

Here, laws did not merely exist.

They were observed.

The Akashic Record hovered silently before me, vast yet restrained, its surface flowing with endless layers of symbols, projections, and compressed meaning. Since the reforging of the Divine Realm Core, it had become even more tightly integrated with heaven itself.

If there was any existence capable of truly understanding what the World Tree had become—

It was this.

I did not waste time.

"Akashic Record," I said, my voice carrying the authority of the God King of Humanity and Wisdom.

"I require a full-scale, in-depth analysis."

The Record responded instantly.

Command acknowledged.

I continued.

"Analyze the World Tree currently rooted in Douluo Dalu."

"Include all evolutionary changes resulting from its anchoring of the Divine Plane."

"Additionally—"

I paused briefly, recalling the sight of those portals and the elemental trees beyond them.

"Analyze all child World Trees and the small worlds created to house them."

"Leave nothing out."

This was not a simple query.

This was a request for absolute understanding.

The Akashic Record did not answer immediately.

Instead—

It went silent.

That silence stretched.

Not seconds.

Not minutes.

Time within the Divine Plane subtly slowed around the Akashic Record as it diverted an enormous portion of its processing capacity toward my command.

Layers of reality peeled back.

Causal chains unfolded.

Past, present, and projected futures overlapped in complex lattices of information.

Even with the Wisdom Core at its heart, this was not a task that could be completed instantly.

I waited.

Patiently.

As a God King, I understood better than most that some truths could not be rushed.

Finally—

The Akashic Record stirred.

Analysis complete.

Displaying results.

A projection unfolded before me—vast, multi-layered, and precise.

At its center stood the World Tree, represented not as a physical entity, but as a living nexus of laws, energy flows, and conceptual authority.

The Akashic Record began with its first conclusion.

Subject: World Tree (Primary)

Status: Post-Divine Anchoring Evolution — COMPLETE

I narrowed my eyes slightly.

"Complete?"

The projection expanded.

It showed the World Tree's original state—an apex planetary organism designed to stabilize a single world, manage elemental cycles, and harmonize natural laws.

Then—

It showed the moment the Divine Plane anchored itself.

The impact was immediate.

The Akashic Record displayed countless streams of immortal energy flowing downward into the World Tree—not in a chaotic torrent, but in structured patterns aligned with higher-dimensional laws.

Primary effects of Divine Plane anchoring:

Exposure to higher-dimensional law frameworks

Continuous immersion in immortal energy

Forced adaptation to manage supra-planetary stability

Expansion of conceptual processing capacity

In simpler terms—

The World Tree had been forced to grow up.

It was no longer merely a planetary anchor.

It had been compelled to understand and interact with divine-scale laws.

This was not something its bloodline memory had prepared it for.

Yet—

It adapted.

Rapidly.

The Akashic Record continued.

Result:

World Tree acquired proto-authority over planetary law governance.

World Tree learned utilization and conversion of immortal energy.

World Tree developed independent spatial law manipulation capability.

I exhaled slowly.

"So that's why…"

The portals.

The small worlds.

The children.

They were not accidents.

They were inevitable consequences of this evolution.

The projection shifted again.

This time, multiple branches extended from the core representation of the World Tree—each leading to a separate node.

Secondary Subjects: World Tree Offspring (Elemental Specialization Units)

Quantity: Confirmed — Multiple

Each node expanded into its own detailed projection.

Life Element World Tree

Fire Element World Tree

Light Element World Tree

Water Element World Tree

Earth Element World Tree

Wind Element World Tree

Thunder Element World Tree

Darkness Element World Tree

And more.

Each child possessed:

Independent consciousness (rudimentary but growing)

A dominant elemental law affinity

The capacity to act as a world core

They were not clones.

They were specialized successors.

The Akashic Record summarized it succinctly.

Conclusion:

The World Tree has subconsciously adopted a strategy of distributed law management.

Instead of one tree managing all laws—

It had divided responsibility.

A terrifyingly efficient adaptation.

The next section of the report shifted tone.

Warning markers appeared.

Alert:

Current status of offspring worlds: UNSTABLE

The projection zoomed in on one of the small worlds.

Its laws were functional—but thin.

Its space was cohesive—but fragile.

Energy circulation existed—but required constant external reinforcement.

Current stability source:

Primary World Tree anchoring

I understood immediately.

"These worlds aren't independent," I said quietly.

The Akashic Record confirmed.

Affirmative.

Each small world currently relies on the Primary World Tree for:

Law stabilization

Spatial integrity

Energy circulation

If the World Tree withdrew its support—

These worlds would collapse.

The Suggested Solution

The Akashic Record did not merely diagnose problems.

It proposed solutions.

Recommended action:

Upgrade each small world into a full Energy Plane.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Define."

The projection restructured.

Energy Plane Definition:

A semi-higher-dimensional world structure capable of:

Self-sustaining energy circulation

Independent law governance

Stable spatial boundaries

Planetary-level authority management

In other words—

Miniature divine realms.

Not true Divine Planes.

But far beyond ordinary lower worlds.

Implementation method:

Designate each offspring World Tree as a Core Authority

Reinforce world laws to planetary completeness

Integrate each Energy Plane into Douluo Dalu's spatial framework

This would:

Remove the burden from the Primary World Tree

Allow the offspring to grow independently

Strengthen Douluo Dalu's overall dimensional structure

I nodded slowly.

"That aligns with my own thoughts."

But then—

Another section appeared.

One that made me go completely still.

Critical Observation:

The projection shifted to show the Primary World Tree again.

This time, the Akashic Record highlighted something subtle.

Cosmic energy streams.

Faint.

Barely noticeable.

But undeniably present.

World Tree has learned to absorb cosmic radiation and void energy.

My pupils shrank.

"Cosmic energy…?"

The Akashic Record continued.

This capability was acquired during Divine Plane anchoring.

However—

A warning symbol flared.

Due to its residence within Douluo Dalu, this capability remains underutilized.

I already sensed where this was going.

Projection:

As time progresses, the World Tree will continue evolving.

Its growth rate now exceeds the tolerance threshold of Douluo Dalu's planetary core.

Silence.

Pure, heavy silence.

The projection simulated the future.

Not a single outcome.

But many.

In most of them—

The World Tree grew.

Its roots deepened.

Its canopy expanded.

Its authority over law intensified.

And Douluo Dalu—

Struggled.

Its planetary core bent under the strain.

Not catastrophically at first.

But slowly.

Subtly.

Until—

Outcome probability:

Planetary law destabilization — HIGH

Planetary evolution forced prematurely — MODERATE

Planetary collapse — LOW (but non-zero)

I clenched my fist.

"So even without anchoring the Divine Plane…"

The Akashic Record finished my thought.

Affirmative.

The World Tree has already evolved beyond what Douluo Dalu was originally designed to sustain.

This was not a flaw.

It was success.

But success without preparation was just another form of disaster.

I leaned back slightly, absorbing everything.

The picture was clear now.

The World Tree had grown too fast

Its children were born before their worlds were ready

Douluo Dalu had benefited—but would eventually suffer

And yet—

This was not a dead end.

It was an opportunity.

If handled correctly—

Douluo Dalu would not be crushed.

It would be uplifted.

I looked at the Akashic Record.

"You already know what I'm thinking," I said.

Yes.

"Then prepare the next phase."

Command parameters?

I smiled faintly.

"We don't suppress growth."

"We build foundations to match it."

The Akashic Record's symbols rearranged instantly.

Understood.

Initiating preliminary models for Energy Plane integration and planetary uplift.

As the projections began to form, one thought echoed clearly in my mind:

The World Tree was no longer just a guardian.

It was becoming a pillar of worlds.

And if I wished to protect humanity's future—

I would need to ensure that Douluo Dalu could grow alongside it.

Because stopping evolution was never the answer.

Guiding it—

That was the true role of a god.
