Void. Eternal void.
This was Shen Han Yu's first sensation. Everything around him was pure white, without any color or impurity, as if it were the original color of life at its birth. It made one's heart unconsciously calm down.
Countless energies were converging toward the center. There was something resembling an embryo, crystal clear and emitting a jade-like texture. Inside it, silver-white halos flowed, appearing exceptionally extraordinary.
Shen Han Yu could sense that the energy pouring into it all came from the Douluo Plane, and it was incredibly pure and powerful, a combination similar to the fusion of heaven and earth origin force and life energy. Just the amount of energy that had been injected into it since Shen Han Yu entered this space was already no less than the life energy contained within a fist-sized piece of Life Gold.
There was no land or sky here. No matter how far his spiritual power spread, it felt boundless. Shen Han Yu floated in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings. Suddenly, a sharp pain stabbed through his mind, and a fragmented voice suddenly rang out in his head. It was intermittent, filled with heavy static, making it impossible to hear clearly what was being said.
Shen Han Yu concentrated his spiritual power and tried to discern it for a long time. In the end, he could only barely make out four words:
Plane Embryo!
Shen Han Yu murmured these four words in a low voice as he looked at the embryo-like object floating in mid-air, as if he had understood something.
"To use the power of the plane to nurture something resembling an embryo, this is the method the plane evolved to give birth to its own will and achieve transcendence. Or is the birth of this thing entirely an accident…"
There was a lot of flowing energy in this space, but even more fixed energy. These energies had existed for an extremely long time. Due to the special nature of this place, even after tens of thousands of years, they had still not dissipated.
Shen Han Yu flew toward the silver embryo. The seemingly short distance became like an insurmountable chasm due to the constant changes in space.
Shen Han Yu looked at the objects constantly drifting past him, his eyes showing various emotions.
Among these objects were weapons stained with blood, corpses of unknown beings, some humanoid, others completely beast-shaped. What was certain was that they were absolutely not life forms born from the Douluo Plane, because Shen Han Yu sensed a strange energy on them. That energy seemed slightly more powerful than soul power, and its composition was completely different. Even after such a long time, it had still not been assimilated by the Douluo Plane's energy.
Time was somewhat pressing. Shen Han Yu did not explore these unimportant matters any further. The Asura Sword appeared in his hand. Rich blood qi instantly tainted the surrounding space. The heavy blade slashed through space, causing it to crumble inch by inch. As the top-tier super divine weapon, the Asura Sword could not only easily tear space apart, but the Asura divine power attached to it could continuously erode the space and prevent it from repairing itself. The Cold Sky Spear appeared in Shen Han Yu's other hand. The light it emitted forced back many unconscious floating corpses drifting toward him.
The closer he got to the embryo-like object, the stronger the spatial repulsion became. The strange feeling in Shen Han Yu's heart also grew more intense. After fluctuating for a moment, the Asura God Position quieted down. However, another God Position in Shen Han Yu's body began to tremble violently at this moment.
After years of comprehension, he had once again condensed a blank God Position. Under the care of the Asura God, the Asura God Position did not repel or conflict with this blank God Position.
Shen Han Yu slowly closed his eyes. The movements of his hands sped up slightly. The Asura Sword danced in his hands. Although he rarely used a sword, every move and form he made was still full of elegance.
Meanwhile, in the God Realm.
The Asura God, who was observing Shen Han Yu's actions through a mirror, could not help but have a slightly grave expression.
Looking at the object that resembled an embryo, his expression showed a momentary stir.
"The Douluo Plane actually produced such a treasure as the Plane Embryo. Previous investigations by the God Realm found no anomalies. It seems it was shielded by the Plane's consciousness using special means. Now this Plane Embryo has been so easily exposed before Shen Han Yu. It looks like this kid is going to obtain another enormous opportunity…"
After pondering for a moment, the image before him suddenly cut off. The Plane's consciousness had briefly isolated the space containing the Plane Embryo from the God Realm's perception. A slight arc suddenly appeared at the corner of the Asura God's stiff lips.
"A treasure like the Plane Embryo will choose its own master. That is quite rare. But this is even better. With the Plane Embryo inside his body, unless the Douluo Plane is destroyed, Shen Han Yu will never truly die. Even if his divine soul is utterly destroyed… This Douluo Plane indeed possesses some divinity. After realizing it was powerless to turn the tide, it actually made such an arrangement. As expected of the plane where the Dragon God was once born. This move is truly gambling with the entire plane's reserves…"
On the other side, Shen Han Yu reached the Plane Embryo almost effortlessly.
A gentle halo slowly enveloped Shen Han Yu. He felt an unprecedented warmth. In the next moment, the Plane Embryo, which had been quietly floating in mid-air, suddenly trembled. Then, a gentle voice sounded beside Shen Han Yu's ear:
"I once tried to stop you from coming here, because I did not want the being I favored to do something truly heaven-defying. You are the being I chose. I am like your other mother. From the moment you were born, I have watched you grow step by step. I should not have emotions, but during this process, I inevitably developed some hesitation…"
"Human emotions are very complicated. Even now, I cannot fully understand them. From the moment I chose you, I realized you were not a normal human. Perhaps I should have realized this day would come. The Douluo Plane's consciousness has never thought of being your enemy. You and the previous Tang San are both compromises made by the Plane's consciousness to advance to a higher level. But you are different from Tang San. You are the being I chose, while Tang San was a compromise made by the Plane's consciousness…"
After a moment of silence, the gentle voice spoke again:
"But after Tang San's death, you became the only choice left for both me and the Plane's consciousness. Fortunately, you have gained the Asura God's recognition…"
"I am the Plane Embryo, an embryo evolved from the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years by the plane. I will merge with your blank God Position. From then on, you and the Douluo Plane will prosper together and perish together. As a price, the Plane's consciousness also allowed me to bring you what you wanted, that is the Origin of Destiny…"
Shen Han Yu instantly understood. It seemed that after Ikeles appeared and helped him, the Douluo Plane's consciousness realized it had lost all chances of victory. For the sake of the Douluo Plane, it had no choice but to resort to this measure.
As for becoming one with the Douluo Plane in prosperity and destruction, he felt it was no big deal. Although on the surface it added a layer of shackles, thinking deeper, the benefits to him were actually greater.
He planned to merge the God Realm's origin into the Douluo Plane's origin to elevate it, prompting the entire plane to evolve. This would also perfectly avoid future spacetime turbulence.
Even if spacetime turbulence could not be stopped, it was fine. It could simply take the entire evolved and elevated Douluo Plane with it. But even if that spacetime turbulence tried for tens of thousands of years, it probably wouldn't have such power. To sweep away and carry off an entire plane, if a spacetime turbulence with such might truly appear, the question of whether the entire universe and galaxy still existed would be uncertain…
By then, the entire plane would be his. There would be no need to mention other matters.
While thinking, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Shen Han Yu's lips. He then said:
"If it's only like this, then of course I have no reason to refuse. My thoughts are very simple. In the future, I will completely fuse the God Realm with the Douluo Plane, allowing the Douluo Plane to complete its ascension. From then on, the plane will be able to give birth to God-level powerhouses. After ascension, the plane's area will increase exponentially. I already have a solution for the conflict between soul beasts and humans. The future is bright…"
The gentle voice fell silent for a while. Soon after, it sighed lightly and continued:
"That would be best. Now, I will begin merging with your God Position. At the same time, you should also undertake the Asura Ninth Trial and officially become the Asura God. My consciousness will sleep for a very long time in the future. After losing the Origin of Destiny, the Plane's consciousness may become dormant for a period. During this time, you can fully act on behalf of all affairs of the Douluo Plane. We will meet again in the future…"
As this gentle voice faded, the originally calm Plane Embryo suddenly showed changes. Its infant-like body slowly dissipated, then transformed into silver-white viscous liquid that slowly merged into Shen Han Yu's body. Mixed within this silver-white liquid were quite a few golden lights. This golden light shared the same origin as the power of destiny that Di Qiu'er had summoned with all her strength earlier, it was the purest power of destiny.
The blank God Position was slowly filled by the silver-white energy transformed from the Plane Embryo and the golden power of destiny. Shen Han Yu clearly felt his long-sealed soul power cultivation begin to stir and slowly advance.
At the same time, a blood-colored divine light suddenly descended from above. Shen Han Yu understood that this was the Asura God's Ninth Trial arriving. The mark on his forehead was instantly lit up. The Asura Sword also appeared beside him. All the power in his body was fully activated. Dark red swept across the surrounding world. An endless sea of blood surged forth. A solemn killing aura swept through heaven and earth. Shen Han Yu opened his eyes, and what appeared before him had already transformed into a strange blood-colored world.
A familiar blood-red figure slowly appeared. A trace of satisfaction flashed in the Asura God's eyes. Looking at Shen Han Yu, a smile actually appeared on his ice-cold face. Then, he spoke in a deep voice:
"The Asura Ninth Trial originally required testing the examinee's heart and whether the path they uphold is suitable for the Asura God Position. I have exempted you from this test. Now, inherit the Asura divine power, ascend the Asura Throne, uphold the Asura Dao, wield the sword of judgment, and walk your own path. You shall be the next Asura God King and the undisputed foremost authority of the God Realm…"
Shen Han Yu's expression was solemn. He bowed slightly to the Asura God King, then stepped on countless bones toward the supreme throne.
With every step he took, the black robe on his body would tear apart in parts, and those parts would instantly be wrapped by blood-colored armor. Shen Han Yu's dark purple long hair gradually lost its color. His long hair danced in the wind, finally transforming completely into a lifeless white. After he took the final step, the last piece of Asura demon armor also attached itself to his body. Blood-colored halos spread for thousands of miles. Shen Han Yu's aura instantly became extremely cold. His blue eyes turned blood-red in an instant. The Asura God armor was covered in sharp blades, with spikes protruding from almost every corner. A giant sword over two meters long appeared out of thin air in Shen Han Yu's hand. Behind him, a massive blood-colored figure slowly became clear, and it was shockingly discovered to be Shen Han Yu himself, clad in Asura demon armor and holding the Asura Sword.
A momentary loosening appeared on the Asura God King's face. The expression that flashed in his eyes was like relief, and also like satisfaction toward a junior. After gazing deeply at Shen Han Yu for a moment, his figure instantly disappeared, as if he had never appeared at all…
On the blood-colored throne, Shen Han Yu's white hair danced. The endless blood-colored world in his consciousness seemed to have completely submitted. As long as he wished, this world could fulfill all his desires. Here, he was the supreme god!
Accompanied by Shen Han Yu taking his seat, endless Asura divine power erupted. At this moment, Shen Han Yu finally truly stepped into the God-level realm! His spiritual world also showed changes. Tian Meng and countless soul beasts that had once sacrificed themselves to Shen Han Yu awakened from their slumber. They looked somewhat dazed at the blood-colored sky. In the next moment, a powerful force instantly swept through the entire spiritual world. All laws were completed in an instant, and everyone felt the surging power erupting from within their bodies.
"This… this is… Han Yu really succeeded!"
Tian Meng cried out in confusion, but was quickly punched flying by the awakened Ice Emperor. The blood-colored world outside rapidly receded and disappeared. Everyone uncontrollably left the spiritual world and once again arrived in this world in physical form. Along with them came power and life levels surpassing what they had before.
The blood-colored halo erupted once more. Shen Han Yu's white hair was blown by the wind. Everyone looked somewhat unfamiliar in their brand-new bodies. The world became incredibly clear in their consciousness. The original shackles had completely disappeared. At this moment, they had not only been resurrected but had also successfully stepped into the God-level realm, fulfilling their lifelong wish!
