Chapter 302: Danger of the ne


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


    "This was the reason why it was possible for the Douluo ne to not be destroyed from the sh of those first-ss gods. However, the shing of the two gods right now..."


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


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


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


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


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


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


    It was only because they were disying the strength of a God Officer that the ne didn''t copse with their sh.


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


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


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


    So the shockwave and energy from their shes, wouldn''t affect and damage thend 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''tpare to. Even with a thousand times the intelligence, we still wouldn''t be able topare 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 avable for soul beasts continues to shrink. Meanwhile, the soul beasts'' life energy is also a part of this ne! The less of our kind there is as well as the nature that we live in, the more the ne 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 theing of the new technologies of soul devices, which would be a great contributor."


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


    "Yes, the life energy of the Douluo Continent rained away at an unprecedented rate. We are not even sure if the ne canst 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 note 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 nces at Ya Li, who nodded her head.


    "The most important factor to the reason for our soul technology was tobat 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 re.


    "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 ming the whole human race for the actions of only some? How is that any different from us ming 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 couldbat 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 ne 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-inw noticed the decline of the ne 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 thepletion 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 ne. But because of the Space-time turbulence that swept them away, none of this was able toe to fruition. The life energy of the ne in thest 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 me 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 ne was able to invade ortched 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 Cmities could stay on their ne without being suppressed or expelled.


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


    "Yes, because of the depletion of life energy on the Douluo Continent, there are weak spots on the narw." 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 ne, which allowed the abyssal ne totch on...But."


    ''But?''


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


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


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


    ''Which is?''


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


    As for how else could the nar lord allow the Abyssal ne totch on to their ne for so long?


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


    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 n. But wouldn''t they have made it known to the inhabitants of the ne? Or at the very least raise a being to help make this ne 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 ne?'' Thought Tang Wulin in suspicion as everything was starting toe together.


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


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


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


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


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


    Did he gain the ne favor because the nar Lord wanted him to help strengthen the Douluo ne and devour the Abyssal ne?
