Chapter 327: The Era of the Douluo God Realm Part XVII: Ten Thousand Years
The Radiant of Life necklace, radiating a powerful life energy, seemed perfectly suited to A Yin's graceful and flawless neck. The couple exchanged a warm smile, an image of affection that, to Bibi Dong's displeasure, practically radiated affection into the room. Unable to bear it, she darted forward and threw herself into Ye Wen's arms.
Clinging to his neck, she murmured in his ear with a teasing tone, "Oh, my dear husband, if Sister A Yin gets a gift, then what about me?"
Though Ye Wen and Bibi Dong had long since settled into married life, her bold move left him somewhat embarrassed in front of their children. He carefully shifted Bibi Dong into a more conventional hug. Watching her grow increasingly uninhibited over the years, Ye Wen couldn't help but respond with mild exasperation, "Don't worry, I've brought back something for each of you."
In that moment, Ye Wen transformed into "Doraemon Wen," taking out one exotic treasure after another from his storage. Among the gods of Douluo Star, the title of most skilled craftsman didn't go to some artisan deity but to Ye Wen himself. The God King of the Vast Sea, with his unique divine role, had developed an expertise that far exceeded the average god. Although Demon War Star was a mortal realm, and transforming ordinary materials into divine artifacts took time, Ye Wen's creations were no less than Grade One divine artifacts.
With gifts in hand, each family member was delighted and couldn't help but smile brightly. That evening, Ye Wen received his well earned reward.
A special "Sevenfold Blessing" ensued, allowing His Majesty, the God King of the Vast Sea, to experience firsthand the joys of family. As the saying goes, "No field is overworked, only the ox can be tired." With no one willing to choose otherwise, the next three days were Ye Wen's to endure. When he finally emerged from his room, he appeared noticeably leaner, despite his divine strength. Bibi Dong had bound his godly powers during the festivities, leaving Ye Wen to rely purely on physical strength against seven goddesses, a battle he clearly didn't win.
As he walked out like a victorious general, striding with purpose though discreetly supporting his back a string of interstellar wars erupted across Douluo Star. Despite the intense demand for interstellar warships, Ye Wen addressed the gods eager to expand their domains with a practical suggestion.
"Why not start by developing the uninhabited stars around Douluo Star? Mining operations there could yield valuable resources."
Under Douluo Star's newly established war doctrine, there were two primary approaches to the expansion effort.
The first was the "State Sponsored" approach, funded by the Holy Soul Empire. Under this method, resources and forces were provided, and participants earned military credits to exchange for various rewards based on merit. The second approach was the "Privately Funded" option, available for those more inclined to independence and creativity. Self funded ventures were allowed for powerful gods, especially those backed by influential organizations, although they came with hefty taxes. After all, interstellar coordinates and technological advances were not provided for free. Regardless of the approach, one rule remained absolute: the exploitation of a world's resources was strictly regulated to prevent overharvesting.
This era of conquest was only possible thanks to Ye Wen's breakthroughs, which provided lower tier soldiers with weapons capable of engaging divine forces. So, as expeditions progressed, most challenges were quickly overcome. While remnants of the Old God Realm's forces occasionally mounted resistance, even their carefully cultivated godlings fell to Douluo's superior resources. For now, Ye Wen could merely sit back and enjoy the incoming spoils.
During this prolonged era of calm, Ye Wen finally dedicated himself to solving a complex challenge he had long postponed: the Divine Core Sharing Project.
The ability to upgrade divine cores implied that divine roles weren't permanently bound to individuals. Yet the mystery of allowing a single divine core to be shared among multiple beings remained unsolved. Without this breakthrough, the accumulation of divine cores on Douluo Star was stifling progress. For now, weaker gods were merely sustained by offerings of faith, while only a few had the chance to advance.
To solve this, Ye Wen set about deciphering this field, an area unexplored even by the Dragon God. Time passed, and six millennia swept over Douluo Star. The planet had fully entered an interstellar age, with orbiting fleets and technological marvels stretching beyond the horizon.
In the Holy Soul Empire's ten thousandth year, a historic announcement was due. Ye Wen, the god who had led Douluo Star into this golden age, would make an address. To the countless spirit masters who revered him, Ye Wen was Douluo Star's most sacred being. Even a whisper of disdain toward him was met with official backlash, and fanatical followers worshipped him with an intensity that bordered on the religious.
Onscreen, Ye Wen wore a smile that radiated joy. "Celebrate, spirit masters! A new era is upon us. Now, any spirit master reaching godhood will find an endless road of opportunity."
"And you may wonder why?" He leaned forward, looking directly at the crowd with an infectious excitement. "Because I'm here!"
