Chapter 17: The Five Great God Kings Compare Themselves to Immortal Kings, Selection Opens Again!
As the five God Kings watched the nanny's explanation on the sky screen, their initial shock gradually eased.
The descriptions of overwhelming strength earlier had indeed drawn their attention, but the more they listened, the more pride began to appear on their faces.
"Hmph, plucking stars and grasping the moon?"
The God of Destruction let out a cold laugh as the purple aura of destructive intent around him instantly surged upward.
"That's just something meant to scare mortals."
"According to that old woman, although the cultivation system of that world has many realms, those early stages like the Blood Transformation Realm and Cave Heaven Realm are nothing more than tricks played by mortals."
"Only when they reach that so-called Heavenly God Realm do they begin to look somewhat like actual gods."
Hearing this, the Asura God beside him nodded in agreement. A red glow flickered in his eyes as he confidently compared the power levels.
"Indeed."
"In my opinion, the Blood Transformation Realm up to the Venerable Realm should correspond to the stages from Soul Master to Ultimate Douluo in our lower realm."
"As for the Divine Fire Realm, that should correspond to becoming a god after reaching level one hundred."
"And that Heavenly God Realm..."
At this point, the Asura God paused briefly before changing his tone slightly. A trace of reserved pride from a powerful being appeared in his voice.
"If one can pluck stars and grasp the moon, they do have some ability. It should barely correspond to our second-class gods or first-class gods."
After hearing the Asura God's analysis, the other God Kings nodded one after another, feeling that the speculation sounded quite reasonable.
After all, although the Heavenly God Realm in the so-called Perfect World sounded powerful, so what?
They were gods as well.
And not just ordinary gods.
Even if that world was extremely powerful, as God Kings they should still stand at the top of the pyramid.
With this thought, the sense of pressure that had formed earlier from repeated shocks gradually faded for the five God Kings.
At the same time, on the other side, within the Perfect World.
Inside the Spirit Beast Garden, Zhu Zhuqing listened with fascination. Seeing the nanny pause, she could not help asking further.
"Nanny, then what lies above the Heavenly God Realm?"
Hearing this, the nanny slowly turned her head. A trace of reverence flashed across her eyes.
"Above the Heavenly God Realm are the Void Dao Realm, the Self-Severing Realm, and the Self-Release Realm."
"Above the Self-Release Realm is the Supreme Realm. It is the ultimate peak of the mortal path, standing at the summit of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, invincible in the world."
"Supreme?!"
Upon hearing those two words, the gods of the Douluo God Realm immediately lit up with excitement.
"Supreme, invincible in the world."
The God of Destruction instantly burst into laughter, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Hahaha! Case closed!"
"I knew it. That Supreme Realm must correspond to our God King Realm!"
"After all, we are also the supreme rulers of the God Realm, invincible within the Douluo universe!"
Seeing this, the Goddess of Life on the other side finally let out a sigh of relief, patting her chest slightly with lingering fear.
"So that's how it is. It seems that although that world has a high starting point, its peak ultimately isn't much different from ours."
"If we went there, at the very least we would still be Supremes, respected by countless people and invincible in the world."
"Exactly. Looking at it this way, it's simply those ants in the lower realm dragging down the overall strength of our world. That's why we gods ended up with such misconceptions." The Asura God also exhaled deeply, his confidence fully restored.
However, the next words spoken by the nanny on the sky screen instantly froze the smiles on the faces of all the gods present.
They could no longer laugh.
"Although Supremes are powerful, they still have not stepped beyond the mortal domain. The reason Supremes can be invincible in the world is based on one premise: true immortals do not appear."
"Above the Supreme Realm lies the Immortal Path."
"After passing the Immortal Tribulation and becoming a True Immortal, one achieves immortality, an indestructible body, and a lifespan equal to heaven and earth!"
"And above True Immortals..."
At this point, the nanny suddenly seemed to recall something extremely terrifying. She took a deep breath before immediately bowing deeply toward the direction of the Primordial Divine Palace. Her expression became incomparably devout.
"Are the Immortal Kings!"
Before Zhu Zhuqing could ask anything further, the nanny continued explaining with utmost reverence.
"Immortal King giants look down upon all ages. With a glance of their eyes, they can destroy entire worlds. A single drop of their blood can suppress the ages of eternity, transcending karma and surviving through countless calamities without destruction."
"Our Immortal Lord is one of the strongest Immortal King giants in existence. Even if someone recites his true name from billions of miles away, he will sense it."
As her words fell, the winds and clouds shifted.
Even the little White Tiger that had been resting nearby immediately sat upright upon hearing the words "Immortal Lord," becoming extremely solemn.
Meanwhile, after the description of the Immortal King realm ended, the Douluo God Realm had already fallen into complete silence.
The five God Kings looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.
"True Immortals live forever? Immortal Kings can destroy worlds with a glance and transcend karma?"
"Gulp."
Staring at the scene on the light screen, the Asura God could not help swallowing hard. When he spoke again, even his voice had turned dry.
They might call themselves God Kings, but they could still be injured and even perish. As for transcending karma, that was simply unimaginable.
"N-no way."
On the other side, the God of Evil still refused to believe what he had just heard.
Clenching his fists, he tried to save face once again.
"That old woman must be exaggerating!"
"A drop of blood suppressing eternal ages? That's obviously just exaggerated rhetoric to make the strong people of their world sound more impressive."
"In my opinion, that so-called True Immortal is probably just a slightly stronger first-class god."
"As for that so-called Immortal King..."
The God of Evil gritted his teeth. In order to preserve the dignity of the God Realm, he forced himself to continue.
"It should correspond to the peak state of our God Kings, or perhaps the level of the Dragon God from back then!"
"Yes, that must be it!"
Hearing the God of Evil's analysis, the other gods seemed to grab onto a lifeline and nodded frantically.
"If we calculate it this way, if God-King-level beings like us were chosen by that sky screen and went there, we might not be the strongest, but we would definitely become overlords of one region."
"As for that so-called Immortal Lord, at most he would just be on equal footing with us!"
As he continued speaking, the God of Evil became increasingly confident. He even licked his lips, his face filled with battle intent.
"I really hope this God King gets selected as well. Then I could go meet that so-called Immortal King giant."
—
However, just as the gods of the God Realm were still analyzing the situation as if both sides were evenly matched, the sky screen that had been broadcasting suddenly froze.
At the same time, a vast and majestic voice echoed once again, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
[Detected that the previous batch of explorers has almost been completely wiped out. The third batch of replacement teleportation will now begin!]
[Available slots this time: 4 people!]
[Since Douluo lifeforms have already gained a preliminary understanding of the Perfect World, this teleportation will no longer provide any protective priority. Landing locations will be completely random!]
[This is your final chance to defy fate!]
As the voice from the sky screen faded, the previously lifeless Douluo Continent instantly erupted into chaos.
Whether it was the lofty Titled Douluo or the most ordinary commoner, when they looked again at the frozen image on the sky screen, their expressions had all turned fanatical.
