--- Chapter 182 ---

In the endless ethereal sea, Douluo Planet appeared insignificantly small, but something about this planet stood out. It continuously generated a highly concentrated form of faith, enough to empower a god to ascend and even become a Godking.

At that moment, the ethereal sea was 'abruptly' shaken as a massive influx of faith, born from the luck of Douluo Planet, suddenly vanished, transforming into a glowing holy sun above.

This phenomenon represented the manifestation of Douluo Planet's inner working system, which eternally consumed and recovered itself whenever a significant event occurred. Of course, this can't happen too much or the plane will lose too much luck to support itself.

Naturally, such a massive loss of faith could not escape the notice of the gods, especially those born from Douluo Planet's faith. A pair of ocean-like blue eyes emerged in that space, but before they could fully perceive the holy sun, it disappeared as if obscured by the plane's consciousness.

"What happened? Why did I lose so much faith all of a sudden?!" A shocked cry reverberated through the ethereal sea.

"This is not normal."

"Is it just as Asura said? Has something occurred on Douluo Planet?"

The ocean-like blue eyes narrowed slightly, focusing on the Douluo Continent. These eyes witnessed Qian Renxue angrily berating Bibi Dong as usual.

Yet, instead of a tearful reconciliation between mother and daughter that occurred at the very end, the god's eyes only saw the little angel storming away, fuming, while the spider woman smiled coldly. Typically, this god would perceive such an illusion, but the plane's consciousness had used several past scenes to create a 'flawless' false present.

A sigh of relief resounded, "They are still at odds with each other. Good. The worse their relationship, the easier it will be to destroy the foundation that the Angel God founded."

"But who caused such a significant loss of faith?"

In the vast sea, the ocean-like blue eyes spotted an enormous entity consuming marine life as if it were breathing. Rage manifested in those eyes as thunderclouds gathered in the sky.

"Is that you, Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?" the majestic voice turned increasingly cold. "A mere beast I kept for my inheritor dares to behave in such a manner!"

"You have the way of death!"

Unbeknownst to this god, the million-year-old spirit beast had become an unfortunate scapegoat for Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.

After all, it was easier to justify a massive loss of faith due to devotees being killed and devoured by a spirit beast than to explain it through the actions of a human.

It was unfair for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, but he and Poseidon have been at odds with each other for years. The conflict between them didn't just start now.

A perfect decoy!

Even Poseidon won't suspect it. The ocean-like eyes vanished from the illusory space as a divine order descended to Poseidon Island.

Inside the Sea God's temple, a beautiful woman in red wearing a golden crown and holding a golden trident opened her brilliant blue eyes. She is none other than the high priestess of the Sea God's temple, the Ocean Supreme, Bo Saixi!

'From now on, I order you and every loyal follower of the Sea God to hunt Deep Sea Demonic Whales in the vast sea. Let their very blood and flesh nourish the sea! I wanted them to pay for the sin of their king!' Poseidon's cold yet noble voice reverberated in the temple.

"Yes, Lord Poseidon. I shall follow your order." Bo Saixi responded with utmost respect and solemnity.

After that, Poseidon left with satisfaction.

Bo Saixi vanished from the temple and floated above Poseidon Island as she oversaw the vast sea with her brilliant blue eyes. "This sea is about to fall into chaos..."

"But since this was Lord Poseidon's direct order, the Deep Sea Demonic Whales will pay with their lives."

...

...

Meanwhile, the Douluo Continent remained largely unaffected by the chaotic and bloody sea.

Two months have passed, yet the spirit master community is still buzzing with excitement over the Dao Meeting.

What transpired that night was undeniably mind-blowing to countless people, especially commoners. Despite attempts by some individuals to downplay the events, it was futile; Dao Academy had a special channel to circulate knowledge throughout the Douluo Continent, making even commoners aware of the new theories.

Many (mainly the noble clans in Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire) criticized Dao Academy for its approach, claiming they were wasting their only source of wealth. However, Han Yuan had his reasons for this. The development of the Douluo Continent was progressing too slowly. Even the cultivation system was lacking. No, it can be said to be full of holes.

After meeting with the plane's consciousness, Thirteen, and confirming his identity as the Son of Destiny, Han Yuan knew his responsibility to promote the Douluo Planet to a higher realm was not just a gimmick.

It was 'naturally' needed for Han Yuan and many others to reach a realm beyond level 100 despite him having Thunder God's inheritance, and that's possible as long as Douluo Planet broke its planar limit.

It meant he needed to raise the standards of cultivation, improve human resources and perspective on gods, and mend the tainted relationship between spirit masters and spirit beasts.

Thinking about these topics made Han Yuan smile bitterly. If not for his family and friends, he wouldn't really do it.

After all, he only wanted one thing for now.

And that one thing is revenge.

...

Desolate Mountain's Secret Realm, Cave of Truth.

Beneath the Desolate Mountain Range, a complex array of cave systems led to a secluded hollow space surrounded by a rusty yet high-tech lighting lamp.

In the center of the space is a giant hexagonal jade pillar, nearly thirty meters tall and seven meters wide, with six entrances glowing with mysterious white light on each side.

This pillar is actually the small plane that Thirteen made for Han Yuan, and each entrance led to different spaces within the plane. After all, it's still a small, functioning world with its slower time flow.

There are eight islands inside. Each island corresponds to one of the seven elements—yin, yang, fire, wood, water, earth, and metal—and finally, a chaotic island surrounded by super-enhanced space, in other words, an extreme gravity site.

Not only were these islands saturated by the law of those elements, but cultivating them will also help in comprehending higher-level artistic concepts.

Not to mention, the small plane also has denser heaven and earth energy than outside, making spirit energy cultivation faster and stronger inside by at least two, if not three times.

Of course, nothing is perfect.

Although Thirteen tried its best, this small plane is not by any means a flawless creation.

Due to the chaotic time difference and highly saturated inner world, one couldn't stay inside the small plane for too long.

Even Title Douluo could only stay inside the small plane for about a month or two before having to go out. Then, they must adapt to the change, which would take another month of break.

So, low-level spirit masters can't stay inside more than a few days, if not a week.

Of course, Han Yuan is a different beast.

Han Yue meditated near one of the entrances. "It has been 45 days since Han Yuan entered the Elemental Plane."

"That's three months inside."

"Thirteen, when will Xiao Yuan come out?"

The golden flame floated near Han Yue and speechlessly replied, "How can I know? That guy is abnormal!"

"Don't you see that dragon woman could only stay for two months?"

"Hey, I can hear that!" Liu Erlong, who just exited the Elemental Plane after two months of seclusion, shouted back.

Ah Yin chuckled playfully, "Well, well, let's not fight with each other."

"I'm sure Xiao Yuan will come out anytime soon."

"Why are you so sure of that?" Liu Erlong pouted.

"Because of love!" Ah Yin placed her hands on her hips.

"..." Liu Erlong.

"That's bullshit!"

"My love for Xiao Yuan is not any lower than yours, and I don't have that random sense!"

Ah Yin shrugged, "Then, you just don't love Xiao Yuan as much as I do."

"Hell no!" Liu Erlong started arguing with the mama grass, wanting to prove her love.

Han Yue ignored the mama grass and dragon woman, focusing on the entrance.

She saw a fluctuation appear on the entrance, and her eyes lit up.

A tall figure stepped out, revealing his muscular build in a loose yet torn martial robe.

Han Yuan stretched his body slightly and smiled at his sister,

"I'm back."
