221: The Ultimate Link (Part 1)

As Disaster Ancestor perished, the divine power scattered into tiny dark red starlight drifting towards the horizon.

Qian Feng could no longer change anything; once this divine power scattered and disintegrated between heaven and earth, it could no longer be extinguished.

He could only watch as those wisps of dark red divine power drifted out of the Divine Realm, revealing the location of the Douluo God Realm, which meant the Continent in the lower realm would inevitably be exposed.

The people who would arrive at the Douluo God Realm by then would definitely be powerhouses capable of crossing great Worlds.

Qian Feng didn't believe the other party would come with good intentions to drink tea and chat with the Soul Masters of the Continent.

What should be done?

He shook his head, not really understanding the combat power of the outside World, and discovered with helplessness.

Perhaps those arriving at the Douluo God Realm wouldn't be just one person, but a group! Then how could he protect the Spirit Hall? How could he protect his Mother and the others?

A deep sense of fatigue filled his entire body. Qian Feng slowly walked through the Divine Realm devoid of gods, looking at the dilapidated scenery around him, and sighed in his heart.

"What? Not planning to leave the Divine Realm and head towards a vaster World?" A figure reappeared. The Golden Lightning on Thunder Lord's body gradually solidified and recovered, as if his power had been restored after defeating Disaster Ancestor.

"Huh? Leave the Divine Realm? Just me?" Qian Feng looked at Thunder Lord in surprise. He admired this Teacher who had saved him multiple times in times of danger, and at the same time, he asked the question in his heart:

"Can I not take Little Sister and the others, leave the Douluo Continent, and go to a vaster World to cultivate?!"

"You should have already known the answer to this question." Thunder Lord smiled slightly, stood beside Qian Feng, patted his shoulder, and said helplessly:

"Limit Douluo can be considered a top powerhouse on the Douluo Continent. But you also need to understand, once they leave... No, they don't even have the ability to leave the Douluo Continent. After all..."

Thunder Lord looked at the desolate Divine Realm around him, shook his head and said:

"For Soul Masters of the Continent to ascend to deity, they need the assessment of the previous deity. Now that the deities in this Divine Realm have all been annihilated by Disaster Ancestor, where are there any divine positions to inherit?"

"This is also the permanent wound Disaster Ancestor left on the Continent, but for the Continent, perhaps it's also a good thing."

"It's actually quite good without deities constantly watching." Thunder Lord said calmly, walking slowly across the wilderness with his hands behind his back alongside Qian Feng.

The dark red points of light in the sky seemed to have turned into stars, making the Divine Realm appear even more dreamlike.

Unfortunately, completely mismatched with this dreamlike quality, was the Divine Realm that had long since fallen silent.

"I understand, the Soul Masters' path of ascension has been completely destroyed. But actually, those who could become deities were also few and far between within the Continent, right?" Qian Feng chuckled, shaking his head helplessly.

Only then did he realize that those who could actually become deities were just the people from their Spirit Hall.

Immediately after, Thunder Lord looked at Qian Feng, with some reluctance in his eyes. His tall figure extended his right hand, squeezed Qian Feng's shoulder, and said helplessly:

"That is to say, you can go to the myriad great Worlds and become a stronger person."

"It's just that this path is destined to be extremely lonely. There will be no more family or loved ones, and everything from the past will be far away from you."

"Moreover, the Continent might receive a not-so-good outcome within a few years... You'd best not think about it anymore."

"Qian Feng, your talent is exceptional. Even in a larger World, you can have a place. By then, you might be able to reach an extremely high realm, like us, existing for tens of millions of years. If not for the arrival of the river of time, this god might have been able to survive for several more millennia."

This was the first time he had heard Thunder Lord say so much. He looked at the other party with some surprise, shaking his head with a bitter smile:

"Teacher, my cultivation path up to now... I believe you understand what I have been strengthening my combat power for."

"I naturally know, and I am also preparing to leave." Thunder Lord looked at Qian Feng and continued, "If you are willing to enter the myriad great Worlds with me, perhaps I can guide you on quite a few things."

"Actually, the purpose of my coming to the Douluo Continent was just to be able to eliminate Disaster Ancestor. After seeing the overall strength within the Continent, this god was actually already preparing to leave; it was truly too poor."

Thunder Lord chuckled, talking more than usual, and strolled leisurely with Qian Feng within this Divine Realm.

He told him everything, considering it reluctance before parting.

"The Soul Master power system of the Douluo Continent simply couldn't withstand Disaster Ancestor's strengthening and devouring. Until I sensed you, a Soul Master who could cultivate into a Titled Douluo while still in the womb!"

Thunder Lord looked at Qian Feng and said with some emotion, "You must know, if you hadn't grown into a Titled Douluo while still in the womb, once I leave, without the Golden Lightning divine power that restrains Disaster Ancestor... the fate of the Continent might be tragically sealed."

"As for your Martial Soul, using my divine power, I completely crushed your original Angel and Spider Emperor Martial Souls, and then I became your Martial Soul. Fortunately, perhaps because you became a Titled Douluo while still in the womb, no one really cared about the mutation of your Martial Soul."

"Then, Teacher, are you going to other Worlds as well?!" Qian Feng asked with helplessness in his heart. The latter immediately nodded:

"Who told you that Disaster Ancestor was just one deity?" Thunder Lord shook his head and sighed, "Tens of millions of years ago, when the All Heavens Divine Court still existed, my divine duty was to pursue and kill Disaster Ancestor."

"Thank you, Qian Feng, for helping me complete the mission for this segment of the journey, but it's not over yet; I still have to go elsewhere."

"I understand." Qian Feng lowered his head, feeling the divine power beside him dissipating. Immediately after, a helpless voice came from beside his ear:

"The fate of the Continent is already sealed. The divine power within you can allow you to use the formation of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to leave the Douluo Continent again."

"Qian Feng, everything, everything, will be chosen by you."

"..." Qian Feng remained silent. Only after the voice beside his ear completely disappeared did he reluctantly raise his head, looking at the empty Divine Realm.

A deep sense of powerlessness filled his entire body.

Thunder Lord had also left. His Mother, Little Sister, Bing'er, and the others were far away on the Continent and could no longer help him.

This final stretch of the journey could only be advanced by him alone.

It was also at this moment that several points of starlight suddenly appeared in the sky, indicating that guests not belonging to the Douluo World were rapidly approaching this place.

From the dark red light appearing on the horizon, revealing the location of the Divine Realm.

How long could it have been until these guests arrived here? For the other party to be able to reach this place so quickly, how terrifying must their power be?

Qian Feng naturally dared to face the challenge, but what about within the Continent behind him?

As long as one "guest" entered the Douluo Continent, it would be the arrival of destruction for the entire Continent!

It was also at this moment that the system's notification sound rang out again.
