Chapter 302: Danger of the Plane

Da Ming continued to speak, "Every plane has its laws, and the power of the laws is affected by the plane itself. Twenty thousand years ago, the Douluo Continent plane was at its most powerful. During that time, it was thriving with thick life energy which properly nourished and strengthened the foundation of the laws.

"This was the reason why it was possible for the Douluo Plane to not be destroyed from the clash of those first-class gods. However, the clashing of the two gods right now..."

"The plane would start breaking down?" Questioned Ya Li with Da Ming nodding his head.

"While it may not look obvious at first, as the Planar Lord would be trying their best to keep the world stable. In the end, the plane would unravel on itself, laws would shatter and the plane would collapse. Even space-time rifts would be formed as an aftereffect if the ruler of the plane doesn't interfere."Said Da Ming, causing Ya Li's expression to turn grim.

As she didn't think the plane was this weakened, that even the clash of the gods wouldn't be possible.

While Tang Wulin wasn't surprised by this, as during his fight with all of the Calamities.

He and they could feel the strain of the plane, as it tried to support their heavenly clashes.

It was one of the reasons they were trying to kill each other swiftly and efficiently, as they fear the collapse of the world.

It was only because they were displaying the strength of a God Officer that the plane didn't collapse with their clash.

Even though a God Officer couldn't destroy a planet like how Third Class Gods could.

They still had the power to destroy the continents and most of the land in the plane with their strength.

This was also another reason they chose to fight in the sky.

So the shockwave and energy from their clashes, wouldn't affect and damage the land around them too much.

"How did it weaken so badly-"

"It is because of you humans!" Er Ming roared out as he cut off Ya Li, fierce anger burning in his eyes.

"I admit your mankind genuinely possesses intelligence that soul beasts can't compare to. Even with a thousand times the intelligence, we still wouldn't be able to compare to you guys. Humanity is skilled in all sorts of creations, but it is also skilled in destruction."

"As the humans grow stronger and more powerful, the space available for soul beasts continues to shrink. Meanwhile, the soul beasts' life energy is also a part of this plane! The less of our kind there is as well as the nature that we live in, the more the plane will suffer and gradually die out."Said Er Ming as he clenched his fist with his face scrunching up in rage.

"After the direct collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent years ago. Which birthed the coming of the new technologies of soul devices, which would be a great contributor."

"A great contributor to the weakening of the plane?"

"Yes, the life energy of the Douluo Continent rained away at an unprecedented rate. We are not even sure if the plane can last much longer at the rate it's going."

"...I understand, as from what we know. The Douluo continent resources are close to being finished, with the Federation wanting to invade the other continents."

"You human...And your endless need for things, never wanting to give back."Said Er Ming with a scoff causing Tang Wulin to roll his eyes.

"I agree the greed of humanity is both boundless and strong. But you speak as if the soul beasts had no part in this situation."Said Tang Wulin causing Er Ming to narrow his eyes.

"How do we have any part? Was it not your race greed that pushed you guys to create those monstrosities you call creations?"

"The greed of humanity does not come just from nothing...Besides, I doubt the creation of soul technology was solely based on the greed of humanity. Isn't that right?"Questioned Tang Wulin as he glances at Ya Li, who nodded her head.

"The most important factor to the reason for our soul technology was to combat your soul beasts. The might of the soul beast even tens of thousands of years was still a danger to humanity. Did you all forget your beast tide that ransacked our civilization, a tide that almost led to the destruction of Shrek?"Questioned Ya Li with a glare.

"Well, we did it-"

"To stop our numbers from growing, to weaken us and keep us in check? Did I get it all?"

Er Ming could only fall silent, as the words of Ya Li were on point. While they weren't a part of the Beast Tide when they went out of their way to destroy Shrek.

They all heard of it, and the reason was Di Tian and the others feared the growth of humanity.

"Yet you all prove us right, your growth pushed us to this point. A point of almost extinction!"

"You're blaming the whole human race for the actions of only some? How is that any different from us blaming your whole race from the ones who did the Beast Tide?"

Tang Wulin chose to cut in and said, "Soul Technology made it so even the weakest humans could combat those stronger than them. Such an invention wouldn't be formed from greed but from the weak seeking to beat the strong."

"Soul Technology with proof of ten thousand years ago showed us a possible way other than cultivating. To be able to push back your soul beasts and never allow another Beast Tide from happening ever again."

"Of course, I do agree. It's humanity's fault for the damage of the plane and for us pushing your numbers so thin."Said Ya Li with a sigh as she knew they should have done more.

Da Ming and Er Ming also sighed, as they also realized that what was done is done. The past was something that couldn't be changed.

Da Ming turned to Tang Wulin and spoked, "Your brother-in-law noticed the decline of the plane from the killing of the soul beast. With our help, he created the spirit soul system hoping that mankind would reduce the killing of soul beasts and leave them in their own spaces. What he didn't expect was that the Spirit Pagoda, which he founded himself, would destroy the entire world of soul beasts."

"He didn't expect his organization that held such capabilities and strength would turn corrupt down the line? Wait, didn't he put or had any countermeasures to make sure such a thing wouldn't happen?"Questioned Tang Wulin in slight disbelief.

"He didn't have the time or chance to, as he wasn't there for the completion of the Spirit Pagoda. As by then, he had already ascended into the heavens, and Gods can't interfere with the mortal world without a valid reason."Said Er Ming with a shake of his head.

"Your father would have been able to interfere, though, as the Divine Realm is meant to protect the order of each plane. But because of the Space-time turbulence that swept them away, none of this was able to come to fruition. The life energy of the plane in the last ten thousand years wouldn't have depleted so quickly."Said, Da Ming.

Ya Li frowned but she didn't say anything as there wasn't anything that could be said.

She couldn't fully blame humanity as it wasn't like they knew about the importance of the soul beast and nature.

But she knew that most of their actions crossed a line that shouldn't have been crossed.

"Is that why the Abyssal Plane was able to invade or latched itself on to the Douluo Realm so easily? Because it was so weakened?" Questioned Ya Li while wondering.

If that's also the reason, the Calamities could stay on their plane without being suppressed or expelled.

As well as the reason, the Demon Continent was able to fuse with the Douluo plane so easily.

"Yes, because of the depletion of life energy on the Douluo Continent, there are weak spots on the planar law." Said Da Ming with a sneer.

'Sleipnir?'

"He is right, because of the life energy being weakened so much. I can sense holes that are being formed in the plane, which allowed the abyssal plane to latch on...But."

'But?'

"I don't think that's the true reason they were able to latch on. I told you before; the Planar Lord is a 2-class God, so he would still be able to push the abyssal plane even with this weakened plane. Yet not only did they not do that, but they also allowed the plane to invade the Douluo one."Said Sleipnir with reasonable suspicion in her tone.

"Do you think they might have a reason for the Abyssal Plane?"

"...Maybe, I think the planar lord might want to do what the Abyssal Plane is trying to do to us."

'Which is?'

"They may want to devour the Abyssal Plane and renourish the Douluo Plane that is slowly dying." Said Sleipnri with her eyes narrowed while they shine serenely.

As for how else could the planar lord allow the Abyssal Plane to latch on to their plane for so long?

One must remember the Douluo Plane even while weakened, still was a special plane.

It birthed the creation of multiple gods through the history of time and also held many god inheritances.

With even one of those inheritances being a God-King!

"...That is a crazy plan. But wouldn't they have made it known to the inhabitants of the plane? Or at the very least raise a being to help make this plan come true-" Questioned Zeref before his eyes widen.

It wasn't just him but Sleipnir and Tang Wulin also realized something as well.

'That bastard, is that why I've been gaining the favor of the plane?' Thought Tang Wulin in suspicion as everything was starting to come together.

Tang Wulin was always wondering and a bit suspicious about why he was genuinely liked by the Planar Lord.

At first, he thought it was because of Sleipnir since she was the Avatar of Life and someone that even the plane would respect.

Then he thought it was Yggdrasil because of her origin and his father since he was the Supreme God King of the Divine Realm.

But he still felt like something was missing.

This became even clearer when he saw and learned about Ha Lousa, who also gained the plane blessing.

Albeit in a different way and fashion than Tang Wulin, but he was still raised and blessed by the plane.

It was all so he could limit and sufficiently reduce the population of humanity from the wishes of the Planar Lord.

So Tang Wulin wondered before if his blessing was also for a similar reason like Ha Lousa.

Did he gain the plane favor because the Planar Lord wanted him to help strengthen the Douluo Plane and devour the Abyssal plane?
