Chapter 3: The Interests of the Heavens and Realms; The First Soul Ring Limit of 423 Years? (Ch 3)

【Battle Through the World】

“Douluo World? Soul Ring Absorption? Age Limit? It sounds… a bit like the magic core level?” Xiao Yan stroked his chin, comparing the systems of the two worlds, “But we haven’t heard of any age limit for absorbing magic cores here.”

“Hmph! It’s no wonder that the superficial rules of the lower planes are full of loopholes.” A trace of contempt flashed in Emperor Hun Tian’s eyes, but his fingers tapped the armrests of the throne unconsciously. “However, who made the ‘settings’? What’s the purpose?”

“Haha, interesting, interesting.” Yao Lao stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes sparkling with wisdom. “Everything has its own rules, but if the rules are set in stone, there will be no variables. This idea of ​​’limit’ is probably too rigid.”

Gu Yuan said in a deep voice: “This light curtain is extraordinary. It can illuminate the heavens. What he said may not be false. If the core rules of this world are really wrong, it is worth learning from and reflecting on.”

Zhu Kun nodded in agreement: “That’s right, it’s better to listen to both sides, it doesn’t hurt to take a look.”

Xun Er whispered, “I wonder which is better, their ‘Spirit Rings’ or our ‘Battle Spirit’?”

Queen Medusa snorted coldly: “These are just the rules of a group of low-level creatures. What does it have to do with me?” But her eyes involuntarily glanced at the light curtain.

…

【Perfect World】

“Soul ring? Ages? External objects are external objects after all. The only fundamental thing is to be strong yourself!” Shi Hao looked at the light curtain with a firm tone. He firmly believed that using one’s body as a seed was the strongest way.

“Limit? Ridiculous. There are fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, and man escapes one. Where is the absolute limit?” Willow God’s voice was ethereal and vague, as if he could see through the essence.

Meng Tianzheng nodded slightly: “If there are flaws in the rules, people will take advantage of them. This world… I’m afraid there will be many variables because of this.”

Qi Daolin chuckled: “I’d like to see how this ‘master’ who made the rules gets slapped in the face by himself.”

Old monsters like Wang Changsheng had gleaming eyes, as if they were deducing the pros and cons of this “soul ring system”.

Huo Ling’er, Yun Xi, Qing Yi and other women were mostly curious: “This world sounds so strange, there is a time limit for absorbing power?”

The Ten-Crown King, Exiled Immortal and other geniuses showed a trace of disdain: “Can a mere number of years bind you? The geniuses in this world are nothing more than that.”

…

【Primordial World】

Inside the Zixiao Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly: “Grandstanding! Such crude rules are worthy of being displayed in the heavens and myriad worlds? It simply pollutes our holy eyes!”

Taishang Laojun remained calm: “All things return to one, and are all the evolution of the ‘Tao’. The Tao of this world is too superficial, and it is common to have flaws.”

Tong Tian Jiaozhu, however, was watching with great interest: “Haha! Setting loopholes! Good! That’s how it should be! Let those self-righteous guys see how unreliable their ‘Tian Dao’ (author) is! This light curtain is quite interesting!”

Nuwa was thoughtful: “Is the inventory of settings… judging the ‘creator’ of the world? What is the purpose of the person behind this…”

Jie Yin showed a look of suffering: “Alas, all living beings suffer. If there are deficiencies in the rules, it will only make the suffering worse.”

Zhunti Taoist rolled his eyes and whispered, “Brother, if this light curtain can reveal the loopholes in the cultivation methods of other worlds, perhaps… it will be helpful to the prosperity of our Western Religion?”

The Three Goddesses, Zhao Gongming and other disciples of Jiejiao watched with great interest and felt that this light curtain was very much in line with their master’s temperament.

Most of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox School showed disdain, thinking that this was an unorthodox practice and not worth mentioning.

The powerful witches and demons also looked at it with a sidelong glance, curious about this novel form of “inventory”.

…

[The World of Shade Heaven]

“Douluo World? A small place I’ve never heard of.” A certain Saint in the Big Dipper Star Region curled his lips, “Soul Ring Limit? My Wheel Sea Secret Realm opened up the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and the divine power is more than four hundred years?”

“Setting up loopholes? Haha, every word of the scripture of the Great Emperor of our world is precious and contains great truths. How could there be any mistakes or omissions?” said a powerful person proudly.

“Interesting, you actually dare to take stock of the world settings? I wonder who is the person who made this list? Do you dare to come to my Beidou?” A living fossil-level figure sneered.

“Woof! This emperor calculated with his fingers and found that this Douluo World must be a fake one! It is not even as good as the formation patterns carved by this emperor!” The Black Emperor jumped up and down and shouted.

Duan De narrowed his eyes and stroked his chin: “Inventory of setting loopholes? Are there any business opportunities here? Can we find some treasures?”

The Ji family, the Jiang family, the Yaoguang Holy Land and other forces are also paying attention.

Ji Haoyue looked calm: “Wait and see what happens.”

Jiang Yifei thought thoughtfully: “If this light curtain can reveal the loopholes in the path to becoming an immortal, then…”

The Holy Son Yaoguang had a smile on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Most of the Forbidden Zone Supremes were dismissive of this, thinking it was a farce from the lower world, but there was also a hint of curiosity, wanting to see what tricks this light curtain could perform.

…

[Genshin World]

“A setting loophole? It sounds like a bug in the game?” Paimon flew around curiously, “I wonder if there is a bug in Teyvat?”

Traveler Yin looked at the light screen and recalled his experiences along the way. It seemed that… he had also encountered some things that were difficult to explain?

Leader Qin frowned and said, “If there are loopholes in the fundamental rules of a world, wouldn’t the social order collapse easily?”

Wendy grinned and said, “Aren’t rules meant to be broken? But the limits of this Douluo World do sound a bit… low?”

Keqing snorted, “Even if there are loopholes, we have the Seven Gods protecting Teyvat, so we will definitely be able to fix them in time!” (But she made a mental note to check if there are any logical problems with Liyue’s laws when she returns)

Zhongli sipped his tea and said, “From the perspective of universal rationality, logical rigor is the foundation for the existence of rules. If the foundation is not solid, the superstructure will be in danger.”

General Raiden remained expressionless: “It’s a meaningless argument. Only eternity is the truth.”

Nashida shook her little feet: “The setting loopholes… are they like the parts that are not well written in the story? I wonder if the story of this Douluo World is good or not?”

Albedo pushed up his glasses, his eyes gleaming with research: “The setting is flawed… the logic is inconsistent… Is this some kind of inevitable flaw in the birth of the world? It’s worth studying.”

…

The reaction in all the heavens and worlds was even more intense, like a boiling oil pot being thrown into a huge rock!

A shocking “opening bomb” directly put one of the most core settings of “Douluo World” on the judgment seat of all heavens and worlds!

Countless eyes were looking forward to the subsequent “real hammer”, questioning the authority of the light curtain, gloating and preparing to watch the show, or worrying about the future of Douluo World…

Above the light curtain, golden light flows again, and the picture is about to start playing!

A public execution targeting the core settings of “Douluo World” is about to begin under the attention of the world!

In the Douluo World, the God Realm, and the countless spirit masters and gods on Douluo Star, especially Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, their hearts were in their throats! Cold sweat had completely soaked their clothes! They knew that the real storm had just begun!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd! On the light screen of the heavens, the picture finally began to flow clearly!

Without much preparation, the king bomb came out right away! Hitting the vital point!

On the screen, a line of eye-catching characters first appeared, displaying the “official setting” of the Soul Ring Absorption Period in “Douluo World” like a textbook:

[Theory of the Soul Master’s Soul Ring Absorption Period in “Douluo World” (proposed by Master Yu Xiaogang):]

[First Soul Ring: Limit 423 Years]

[Second Soul Ring: Limit 764 Years]

[Third Soul Ring: Limit 1760 Years]

[Fourth Soul Ring: Limit 5000 Years]

[Fifth Soul Ring: Limit 12,000 Years]

[Sixth Soul Ring: Limit 20,000 Years]

[Seventh Soul Ring: Maximum 50,000 years (Non-Title Douluo) / 30,000-50,000 years (Title Douluo)]

[Eighth Soul Ring: Limit 50,000 years or more]

[Ninth Soul Ring: Maximum 100,000 years (closer to 100,000 years is better)]

[Note: If you absorb spirit rings beyond your limit, you will most likely explode and die! ]

Clear words and precise numbers are presented to the world like iron laws.

[Note: If you absorb spirit rings beyond your limit, you will most likely explode and die! ]

Clear words and precise numbers are presented to the world like iron laws.

…

[Douluo World·Douluo Star·A Secret Corner]

“That’s right! That’s right! This is my theory! It’s accurate! Every word is precious! It is a truth that has been verified countless times!”

Yu Xiaogang saw the data clearly listed on the screen again, and a last bit of stubborn light burst out from his cloudy eyes! He struggled to get up from the ground, and his hunched back tried to straighten up again!

This is his last dignity! It is the cornerstone of his life’s research! It must not be defiled!

“Hmph! Did you see that?! It itself has acknowledged my theory! 423 years! This is the limit! An iron-clad limit!” He pointed at the light curtain and roared hoarsely into the air, as if he was convincing himself and declaring it to all the heavens and worlds.

“You are just being mysterious! You are just putting forward my theory first to create a false sense of authority! I want to see what so-called ‘evidence’ you can come up with to overturn this law! Come on! Bring it on!”

Yu Xiaogang was like a gambler who had lost all his money. He had staked all his pride and dignity on this “423-year limit”! He absolutely did not believe that this iron rule would be broken!

…

[Douluo World: God Realm]

“Huh…” Tang San breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the light curtain emphasize the theory again, but the strings in his heart were even tighter. He knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and the real test was about to come. He tightly grasped the Seagod Trident, stared at the light curtain with sharp eyes, and kept telling himself in his heart: The master’s theory can’t be wrong! Absolutely not!

“Hmph, are you still repeating this so-called theory? It seems you have run out of ideas.” The God of Destruction sneered, but there was a hint of solemnity in the depths of his eyes.

The Goddess of Life shook her head gently: “The storm is brewing… Since it dares to focus on the limit of the first soul ring, it must be trying to open a breakthrough from now on.”

The God of Kindness clasped his hands together and prayed silently.

The God of Evil licked his dry lips, his eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light: “Here it comes! The real show is about to begin! Quick! Let me see, who will be the first one to be slapped in the face?!”

Dai Mubai and the others were so nervous that their palms were sweating and they dared not even breathe.

“Third brother…it should be okay, right?” Oscar muttered softly.

“Third brother is born with full soul power and twin martial souls! He must be different from ordinary people!” Ma Hongjun encouraged himself and Tang San.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing didn’t say anything, but their furrowed brows showed their extreme anxiety.

Xiao Wu looked at the screen with even more worry, her heart tightening.

…

[Douluo World·Wuhun Hall Angel Temple]

“423 years limit? Haha…” Bibi Dong sat on the Pope’s throne, tapping the armrests with her jade fingers, with a hint of cold sarcasm on her lips, “Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang, do you know that your so-called ‘limit’ has already been easily trampled under the feet of so many ‘geniuses’?”

She recalled her experience of absorbing spirit rings, and those genius spirit masters whom she regarded as “aliens” but who were far beyond the theoretical level. The disdain in her eyes became even stronger.

“If this limit is really so ridiculous, then this emperor…” A sharp light flashed in her eyes, “Perhaps, I can use this to cultivate a more powerful force! Even…” She looked outside the palace, “My ‘good daughter’ Qian Renxue…”

In the Angel Temple, Qian Renxue looked at the light curtain calmly, with no ripples in her golden eyes.

“423 years… This number seems to have been mentioned when I inherited the throne, but…” She recalled the process of absorbing spirit rings and it seemed that she was not strictly restricted by this number.

“Rules are meant to be surpassed. However, if even the most basic rules are so vulnerable, then the ‘Tao’ of this world is too fragile.” She commented lightly, her focus already going beyond the theory itself.

…

[Douluo World·Seven Treasures Glazed Sect Haotian Sect Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family Others]

Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

Ning Fengzhi frowned: “The limit is 423 years… When Rongrong absorbed the first soul ring, I remember… it seemed that he didn’t deliberately look for such a low age…” He looked at Sword and Bone Douluo for confirmation.

Jian Douluo snorted coldly: “I only know that the higher the quality of the spirit ring, the better. Why have I ever cared about the number of years? If the talent is enough, a thousand years is fine.”

Bone Douluo nodded: “Yes, the so-called limit is nothing but the self-consolation of mediocre people.” Having said that, there was a hint of solemnity in the eyes of the two.

Haotian Sect.

Tang Xiao said in a deep voice: “The disciples of our sect are domineering and fierce, and have higher requirements for the age of their spirit rings. If the limit of the first ring is only 423 years, it is too much…”

Tang Hao’s eyes flickered, he lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Yu Yuanzhen’s face turned pale: “I want to see! What evidence can it produce! Second brother’s theory cannot be wrong!”

Liu Erlong was struggling with conflicting feelings. She hoped that Yu Xiaogang’s theory would be proven, but she also felt that the light curtain was not groundless.

Shrek Academy.

Flanders was so anxious that he was spinning around: “Xiaogang! Xiaogang… “

Zhao Wuji grabbed his hair in annoyance: “Damn it! What the hell is going on!”

Nottingham City.

The dean of a certain college looked at the light screen and murmured, “Master’s theory… could it be true…”

Countless soul masters, countless nobles, countless civilians, all focused their attention on this at this moment! This concerns every one of them!
