Chapter 287: Refreshing Perceptions, A World Far Larger Than Expected
"Boss, this... this is..."
The beast gods were a bit dazed.
"Universe..."
Ye Wen muttered quietly, his gaze a bit blank.
Looking at the vast universe in front of him, Ye Wen was actually quite shocked. This was the first time he had left Douluo Star. Although he had always known that the Douluo world, and the Douluo Continent, the Douluo Mortal Realm, were actually just a single planet.
It was similar to Earth from his past life. Both were planets, and outside the planet, there were countless other planets and galaxies, all existing in an infinite, vast universe whose size he could never comprehend.
The planet where Douluo Mortal Realm was located was called Douluo Star in this world, and just like this, outside of Douluo Star, there were countless other planets, star domains, and galaxies, with many other planets like Douluo Star—planets that supported life—all scattered throughout the vast universe.
Although Ye Wen knew all of this, it was his first time breaking out of Douluo Star and witnessing the vast expanse beyond, so he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of awe.
It made him momentarily feel like he had returned to Earth, as if everything he had been accustomed to on Douluo Continent didn't fit with this grand scale.
However, Ye Wen quickly regained his senses and began addressing the confusion his companions had about the scene in front of them.
Gu Yue, Emperor Tian, and Zi Ji, who had escaped from the Divine Realm, were already aware of the situation and had seen the outside world.
But for the likes of Evil Tiger, Xiaobai, Snow Emperor, Da Ming, Xiao Wu, and others who were born and raised on Douluo Star, and had never left, they naturally didn't understand what the world outside was like.
"As you can see, outside the world we've lived in, there's a much broader world. The planet we live on is just the tip of the iceberg in this vast star domain. This world is far larger than we ever imagined."
"In the vast star domain, there are countless planets, just like Douluo Star, with planets that support life. These worlds are what the human gods of the Divine Realm would refer to as 'face planes.'"
"And the Douluo Divine Realm governs and manages more than a hundred such face planes, just like Douluo Star."
"However, even the Douluo Divine Realm's jurisdiction might just be the tip of the iceberg in this vast star domain. There may be countless worlds, face planes, and even other Divine Realms within this star domain!"
"But because this world is so large, the distance between different Divine Realms is so vast that we can't meet them, leading to a complete isolation where we're unaware of each other." Ye Wen finished speaking.
These were all truths, and in his memory, besides the Douluo Divine Realm, there were also the Divine Realms of the Son of Light, the Mad God, the Kind Death God, the Emperor of Zither, the Star Scar Divine Realm, and others. He knew of seven major Divine Realms.
One day, these seven Divine Realms would all be pulled into the time-space turbulence and trapped in a black hole, only to finally meet. After escaping the black hole, the God Kings of the seven Divine Realms would decide to merge the core of their Divine Realms and create a new Divine Realm.
But those were stories for another time.
Now, the beast gods, having learned the situation, were stunned. Their worldview had been completely overturned, but they were quickly processing the information Ye Wen had shared.
Although Ye Wen had been explaining, the progress of the group hadn't slowed down. Under Gu Yue's leadership, they were speeding toward the Divine Realm.
"It's like this, the Sun and Moon Continent, where we live, along with the human soul masters on Douluo Continent, thought the world was just as big as Douluo Continent."
"But in reality, there's another Sun and Moon Continent on Douluo Star. It's just that it's so far away that people on the continent don't know, and they think the world is only that big," Snow Emperor said.
"Yes," Ye Wen nodded.
He had already explained about the Sun and Moon Continent before, so they all understood.
As for the Sun and Moon Continent, it would eventually drift from the distant seas and collide with Douluo Continent in about four thousand years.
"We understand."
"Mm." After clarifying everything, Ye Wen flew to Gu Yue's side and asked, "Gu Yue, are you confident we can break into the Divine Realm before the Asura God returns to the Divine Realm?"
"Although the Divine Realm has specific divine passages connecting each mortal realm, which makes travel much faster, they still need some time to locate our presence. Also, the Douluo Divine Realm is actually very close to Douluo Star!"
"It could be said that among the over a hundred face planes managed by the Douluo Divine Realm, this one is the closest. Flying from Douluo Star to the Divine Realm will take longer, but not by much!"
"I'm confident that we can break into the Douluo Divine Realm before all the gods return!" Gu Yue said confidently.
"Good!"
"Full speed ahead! Let's head straight for the Douluo Divine Realm!!!"
"Roar!!!"
In the vast star domain, the dozen or so beast gods rushed toward the Douluo Divine Realm's location.
On the other side, the Divine Realm quickly sent out another team of divine-level gods. They used the Divine Realm's exclusive passage to make their way toward Douluo Mortal Realm, and this team was about to arrive in the Mortal Realm soon.
As expected, just as Ye Wen and his team had predicted, the one personally leading this group to the mortal realm was none other than one of the five God Kings of the Divine Realm, the Supreme Enforcer—Asura God!
The Asura God led his team to Star Dou Forest, where they found the bodies of the fallen gods, the battlefield where they had perished.
Looking at the hundreds of dead gods and divine officials on the ground, the Asura God's expression remained unchanged. It was as if he didn't feel even the slightest emotion or turmoil in his heart, as though he was simply observing something very mundane.
"At least three or more God King beast gods, the rest are all Level 1 gods. How did this happen? How could they control such powerful divine positions under the jurisdiction of the Divine Realm?" Even now, Asura God found this situation hard to fathom, unable to understand where the problem lay.
When the surviving gods, who had escaped back to the Divine Realm after being killed by Ye Wen and his group, learned how powerful these beast gods were, the entire Divine Realm was shocked. The gods, even the five God Kings, were deeply concerned, sensing that a major crisis was looming over the Divine Realm.
A crisis that might be big enough to affect the entire Divine Realm.
So, the strongest God King, Asura God, personally led his gods down to the mortal realm, intending to wipe out the beast gods once and for all.
"You all, collect their bodies and bring them back to the Divine Realm. Bury them in the Divine Graveyard," Asura God ordered a few of the Level 3 gods.
