Wuhun: Desert Death on the left hand, the world on the right hand

Ten days later, Bai Yun returned to Zhu Weng's residence. From afar, the bamboo house stood quietly in the forest, but there was no smoke rising from the house as usual. Bai Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ran to the bamboo house and opened the door. There was no one inside, and the dusty rocking chair looked even more desolate in the dim light.

"Teacher? Nasus?" Bai Yun's heart tightened and he called out a few times tentatively, but the only response he got was an empty echo.

He looked around and saw the pipes that Zhu Weng always brought were neatly placed on the table, and the bed was neatly made. He didn't look like he left in a hurry. Could something have happened?

In a hurry, Bai Yun tried to contact Nasus who was thousands of miles away through the special connection between them.

"Nasus, where are you? Is the teacher with you?" There was a hint of trembling in Bai Yun's voice.

“Brother Yun? Why are you back? My teacher and I are in the Star Dou Great Forest!” Nasus’ voice was filled with excitement. “My teacher said that my spirit power is sufficient and he wants to help me hunt for the seventh spirit ring!”

Hearing Nasus' voice, Bai Yun finally felt relieved. "So they are going to the Star Dou Great Forest." He breathed a sigh of relief. "With the current strength of the teacher and Nasus, there shouldn't be any danger."

"Brother Yun, wait for me to come back! Then I will show you the soul beasts I hunted!" Nasus' tone was full of anticipation.

Bai Yun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

He knew that only by becoming stronger could he truly protect the people he wanted to protect. Thinking of this, Bai Yun took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the origin altar, and continued to practice.

“Nasus, wait! Did you just say you were going to obtain the seventh spirit ring?” Bai Yun’s voice was filled with anxiety. “Don’t worry, I have something important to tell you!”

"Brother Yun, what's wrong? Why can't I get the seventh soul ring?" Nasus was confused.

"Have you ever thought about your future path? I mean, what is your real goal?" Bai Yun said in a serious tone.

"Become a god? What else could it be? Take the hundred-level path to becoming a god in Douluo Continent!" Nasus answered without hesitation.

“No, Nasus,” Bai Yun said earnestly, “Although the rules of Douluo Continent are perfect, they are not the only ones. You have inherited the godhood of Silas. In theory, you can follow the path of becoming a god through faith in the God Realm, just like me.”

“Brother Yun,” Nasus’ voice was filled with curiosity. “I’ve always wanted to ask, what is the God Realm like? Why do you always advocate a god-level cultivation system?”

"Okay, today I will tell you about the God Realm and the God-level cultivation system, including the God Realm's fighting style and so on."

"In the endless universe, there is a mysterious realm hidden - the divine realm. There live gods with boundless magic power and the power to create and destroy. Each of them is the master of his own divine realm." Bai Yun paused, as if he was organizing his words, "In their bodies, there are independent universes - divine realms."

"Divine Realm? Is it like our White Cloud Realm?" Nasus was very interested in this topic and asked.

"Not quite the same," Bai Yun shook his head, "The Divine Realm is just a general term for the world controlled by the gods. It can be a small world or a wider plane. According to the level, it can be divided into low, medium, and high worlds, as well as low, medium, high, and supreme planes."

“So what are the differences between these levels?” Nasus’ curiosity was aroused.

Bai Yun pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The lower world can only accommodate mortals at most, such as the Earth we are familiar with."

"The medium world can accommodate the demigods of the God Realm, such as the 99th level Extreme Douluo on the Douluo Continent!"

"And the higher world can accommodate the early stage of the lower gods in the God Realm, as well as the priests in the God Realm of Douluo Continent."

"What about that plane? What is the difference between a plane and a world?" Nasus asked questions one after another.

"The plane is higher than the world," Bai Yun explained, "the lower plane, that is, the small world, can accommodate the first-level gods of the Douluo Continent God Realm at most, which corresponds to the peak of the lower gods in the God Realm."

"The middle plane, that is, the middle thousand worlds, can accommodate the God Kings of the God Realm of Douluo Continent, corresponding to the middle gods of the God Realm."

"And the higher plane, that is, the universe, can accommodate the higher gods and main gods of the divine world."

“What about the highest plane?” Nasus’ curiosity seemed endless.

"The Supreme Plane, or what I call the God Realm, is the destination for all higher planes to ascend!" Bai Yun said with a hint of pride, "The God of Creation lives there, and the people of God who live there, as long as they can awaken their priesthood, everyone can become a god."

“Next, I will talk about the cultivation system of gods.” Bai Yun paused, and seeing that Nasus was listening attentively, he continued, “The cultivation system of gods is divided into: demigods, low-level gods, middle-level gods, high-level gods, main gods, and creator gods. Each level can be further divided into four small levels.”

“So many levels!” Nasus exclaimed. “What kind of beings are demigods?”

"For demigods, their life level will be elevated for the first time," Bai Yun explained. "The most obvious example is that they can live for 500-1000 years!"

“A thousand years of life!” Nasus gasped. “Doesn’t that mean I can live for a very, very long time?”

"That's right," Bai Yun nodded, "For mortals, a thousand years is an unimaginably long time."

“What about the lesser gods?” Nasus asked impatiently, “What kind of existence are the lesser gods?”

"Low-level gods undergo a second sublimation in their life level, and can have a lifespan of 1 to 900 million years," Bai Yun continued, "In addition, they can break through the void and travel to conquer the lower world, the middle world, and the higher world."

“Shattered Void?” Nasus was full of curiosity about the word. “What does that mean?”

"Breaking the void means breaking the spatial barriers and traveling between different worlds," Bai Yun explained, "This is an ability that only lower-level gods can possess."

“What about the intermediate gods?” Nasus continued to ask, “What special abilities do they have?”

"Intermediate gods, whose life level has undergone a second sublimation, can have a lifespan of at least 1-900 billion years," Bai Yun said, "They can also break through the void and travel and fight in the lower planes (small thousand worlds) and the middle planes (middle thousand worlds)."

“A lifespan of 100 million years!” Nasus could no longer imagine how long that would be. “What about the higher gods? Are they even more powerful?”

"High-level gods, whose life level has undergone the third sublimation, can have a lifespan of at least 100-9000 billion years," Bai Yun said with a hint of awe in his tone!

"The high gods are the most special. In this plane, they govern the laws of the great way, their concepts are immortal, and a trace of their true spirit can be reborn, allowing them to enter time and space and travel through the long river of time."

"When they are in the plane of the heavens, they are sublimated for eternity. I am the only one who can prove the heavens, and there is no second one. The concept is immortal. I can break through the barriers of the planes and travel through the world of the heavens! To be truly free is to jump out of the Three Realms and no longer be in the Five Elements!"

“Outside the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements?” Nasus muttered to himself, his eyes full of longing. “What about the Lord Gods? What kind of existence are they?”

"Lord God, the life level has undergone the fourth sublimation and has reached the level of immortality," Bai Yun's voice was low and solemn.

"In this plane, they follow the laws of nature, and can bring about the birth and destruction of multiple worlds with a single thought. They can create branches of time and space with their fingers, and evolve the universe at will."

"In the heavens, they understand the origin of the Tao, understand everything, see the past and the future, control the fate of countless sentient beings, rule the universe, have no past and future, no beginning and no end, and are not affected by cause and effect!"

"Immortality, control of destiny..." Nasus was completely immersed in Bai Yun's description, his heart filled with shock.

“What about the Supreme Creator God?” Nasus asked at last, “What kind of existence is he?”

Bai Yun's voice became ethereal, as if it had traveled through endless time and space, with a hint of indescribable awe: "As for the Creator God, the legends are even rarer, and almost no one knows their specific circumstances."

After a pause, he continued, "But one thing is certain, that is, the life level of the Creator God is at least immortal, and his power is equal to that of the Tao. He is eternal, immortal, indestructible, and undead, transcending all time, space, years, and space, and standing above everything."

At this time, Nasus was so surprised that he was speechless. He had always thought that the God Realm that Brother Yun talked about was the same level as the Douluo God Realm. Who could have imagined that it was such a world!

After a long while, he finally found his voice, swallowed hard, and asked, "Then...how do the gods in the divine world practice?"

Bai Yun seemed to have anticipated Nasus’s shock. He smiled calmly and explained, “When it comes to cultivation, we must first talk about the power of faith.”

"The power of faith?" Nasus looked confused, obviously unfamiliar with the term.

"Yes, the power of faith." Bai Yun explained patiently, "Through devout prayers, the religious races offer their beliefs and soul power to the gods. These powers of faith, like trickles of water, converge into the sea and are absorbed by the gods and transformed into powerful divine power."

"The growth of divine power not only improves the cultivation of gods, but also allows their divine domains to expand and life to prosper."

"You mean, the power of gods comes from the prayers of the believing races?" Nasus widened his eyes. This statement completely overturned his cognition.

"That's right." Bai Yun nodded. "The gods constantly strengthen their divine power by absorbing the power of faith. This is a unique way of cultivation. They use divine power not only to improve their own magic power, but also to create miracles and change the fate of the small world."

“So that’s how it is…” Nasus muttered to himself, and his awe of the gods increased even more.

"However," Bai Yun changed the subject, "this method of cultivation also comes with huge risks, because the strength of the divine realm is directly related to the life and death of the gods."

“What? You mean, gods can also die?” Nasus was shocked. In his opinion, gods should be eternal and immortal.

"Of course," Bai Yun said calmly, "Although the gods are powerful, they are not invincible. If the origin of their divine domain is destroyed by other gods, they will surely die."

Nasus took a deep breath. He had never thought that a god could be so vulnerable.

"Then...then the war between gods is a war between two worlds?" Nasus suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly.

"Yes, this is the battle of the divine realm!" Bai Yun's tone became serious. "The contest between gods is not only a showdown of strength, but also a collision between divine realms. The battle between the strong is often accompanied by the destruction and rebirth of the small world."

"For the religious races, this is a war of life and death. Their faith and loyalty will directly affect the power and destiny of the gods."

"So, aren't the religious races very pitiful?" Nasus couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to those religious races.

"Although the religious races survive under the protection of the gods, their fate is not entirely in their own hands." Bai Yun said calmly, "Once the gods lose in battle, the religious races may suffer a catastrophic disaster."

“Isn’t that too…” Nasus wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Bai Yun.

"However," Bai Yun continued, "as long as the gods' power is strong enough, they will be able to cultivate the believing race again and rebuild their world."
