The Consequences of Two Advancements After the Sermon
Chapter 338 The Consequences of the Second Advancement After the Sermon
To ensure Jerry's explanation went smoothly, all the god-level powerhouses acted with great caution.
The selection of the venue for the presentation alone required considerable thought.
Ultimately, they decided to hold the presentation in the most prestigious conference hall at an altitude of 9000 meters.
This conference room is not only spacious but also fully equipped, with a special spot set up above for Jerry.
This location not only offers a wide view, but also features a sound amplification array in front to ensure that Jerry's explanation can be clearly heard from every corner of the conference hall.
In addition, four video recording devices were set up to record the entire process of Jerry explaining the rules, so that it could be watched repeatedly in the future to deepen understanding.
At the front of the conference hall were rows of orderly seats.
There are only three seats in the first row, which are reserved for Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and Poseidon.
After all, given their status, no one could be their equal.
The second row has eight seats, which are for Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Jerry's senior and junior sisters.
This also shows that Jerry's master and fellow disciples held a position in Wuhun City second only to Qian Daoliu and his two companions.
The third row has twelve seats, which are reserved for the twelve elders of the cabinet.
Starting from the third row, the fourth row is placed after a certain distance has been created.
From the fourth row onwards, each row has 30 seats arranged in a fan shape, surrounding the first three rows and the podium.
The positions at the back were reserved for the god-level experts from the Spirit Hall, followed by the god-level experts from other families.
This seating arrangement not only reflects the difference in status but also facilitates interaction and communication between Jerry and the audience.
Before the presentation began, a solemn atmosphere filled the entire conference hall.
All the god-level powerhouses were quietly waiting for Jerry's arrival.
As the time drew near, the lights in the conference hall gradually dimmed, and a bright light suddenly descended from the ceiling, illuminating the designated spot.
Jerry's figure then came into view.
He calmly walked to his designated spot and sat down amidst applause.
As Jerry began his presentation, the entire conference room fell silent.
His voice carried clearly and powerfully to every corner, ensuring everyone could hear it clearly. During the explanation, Jerry occasionally demonstrated the use of some rules, allowing everyone to not only hear them but also see them visually, so that they could better understand and comprehend the rules.
The powerful figures present listened intently to Jerry's explanation.
They would occasionally jot down important notes in their notebooks or exchange a few words in hushed tones.
The atmosphere in the conference hall was tense yet orderly, conveying the importance and seriousness of the presentation.
After the presentation, thunderous applause filled the conference hall.
All the god-level powerhouses stood up and applauded, praising Jerry's brilliant explanation.
At this moment, they not only paid tribute to Jerry's wisdom and talent, but also recognized his status and influence in the Spirit Hall.
This explanation of the rules lasted for three months. The understanding of the rules cannot be achieved by simply telling them all at once; these god-level powerhouses also need some time to digest them.
The content explained over these three months is enough for these god-level powerhouses to consume for a while. Furthermore, Jerry mentioned before ending that the next explanation of the rules would be a year from now, hoping that everyone could digest the content of this explanation as soon as possible.
Knowing that Jerry would be giving another lecture in a year, everyone was very excited and couldn't wait to go back to their seclusion and study, so as to digest what they had just heard.
Afterwards, Jerry kept the Grand Elder and the others from the Spirit Hall behind and told them about what had happened to him recently.
The concepts of planets, galaxies, and life-bearing planets left them speechless.
At the same time, they also learned that the Douluo Planet they lived on was just one planet in the Douluo Galaxy. There were eight other planets like it, and all of them had been transformed into habitable planets by Jerry.
Jerry took out two blueprints for making soul tools: one for soil conversion and one for water conversion.
These two soul tools are too important for the planet's advancement. If Jerry were to make them by himself, the number would be limited, and it would take too long.
Therefore, Jerry plans to release the design blueprints for these two soul tools, hoping that more and more people will learn how to make them, so that the planet's advancement can be accelerated to the greatest extent.
Having too many of these two types of soul tools will accelerate the consumption of soul power within the planet, and in severe cases, may cause a decrease in the concentration of soul power within the planet.
However, none of these are problems for Jerry. After all, Jerry has many clones, and with the transformation of clones, soul power is not a problem at all. As long as there is enough soil and water, the soul power can be quickly sufficient for the world to advance.
After the soil has been transformed and calcined at the Earth's core, only the remaining portion can be absorbed by the planet for growth.
This kind of growth starts from within, and is relatively stable and rapid.
While it's possible to place these materials directly on the planet's surface, it would take a very long time for the planet to gradually assimilate the surface soil. From a time perspective, this method is too slow.
The transformed soil needs a special channel to reach the Earth's core. The hole that Jerry dug earlier not only dissipates the heat from the Earth's core but also allows the soil above to reach the core directly.
However, the temperature above these pores is extremely high, which is difficult for ordinary people to withstand.
To transport soil to the Earth's core through pores, you can't pour it directly above the pores. Otherwise, the soil will melt due to the high underground temperature before it reaches the core and be pushed out by the hot air.
To reach the Earth's core directly, one would need to have a divine body like Jerry's, reaching the third level, to barely withstand the Earth's core's temperature.
The temperature at the Earth's core is too high to set up a teleportation array there. Even if one were set up, it would only last a short while before being melted and destroyed by the high temperature at the Earth's core.
Unlike the other eight planets, Douluo Planet has too many people and other creatures. Unlike other planets, it cannot be converted and placed randomly until there are enough people, at which point Jerry can have his clones transport them all at once to the Earth's core.
Therefore, if you want to transform the soil in Douluo Continent, you must first find a suitable location.
As for the water, that's easier; it can be discharged directly into the sea.
At the same time, the ratio of water to soil must be controlled. Too much water may cause flooding and inundate cities near the coast.
Controlling this ratio is crucial; the rate at which the planet absorbs soil and the rate at which water is converted must be kept within this range.
In this way, we can accelerate the planet's advancement without affecting its environment.
Therefore, the advancement process for Douluo Planet is more rigorous than that of the other planets.
As for the creatures on the second planet, they are all soul beasts, whose adaptability is much stronger than that of humans. Moreover, the Silver Dragon King and the others have been living on the second planet for a long time. With their supervision, the problems on the second planet are not so big.
It seems that a clone with independent consciousness must be left on Douluo Planet.
Jerry had previously created a clone with its own consciousness, but as time went on, the clone's consciousness grew stronger and stronger, and some of its behaviors deviated from those of Jerry's original body. Moreover, every time he recalled the clone and synchronized his memories, a flood of memories would come rushing in, making him feel like he was experiencing another person's memories. Although these were also Jerry's memories, they always made Jerry feel strange.
Moreover, after absorbing the memories of his clone, some memory discrepancies would always occur. Therefore, Jerry does not want to release his clone, which has its own consciousness, at present.
Furthermore, through the Silver Dragon King's experience, the clone with its own consciousness, after existing for a long time, can be regarded as a completely new individual with independent thinking, and may even have emotions when the clone is recalled by the main body.
If a clone develops such emotions, like the Silver Dragon King, then when this clone grows to a certain level, it can even devour the original body.
It is precisely because of this flaw in the existence of self-aware clones that Jerry is unwilling to use them, even though self-aware clones are sometimes more convenient to use than ordinary clones.
Now, Jerry's cultivation takes a long time each time, not to mention seclusion. With the world advancing, Jerry is afraid that one day, when he goes into seclusion, hundreds of years will have passed, and everything will have changed.
However, Jerry knew that as his cultivation level improved, the time required for each cultivation or breakthrough would become longer and longer. If he released his own consciousness clone during his seclusion, it would inevitably give rise to other thoughts after such a long period of time. Therefore, it was necessary to improve the cultivation level of all the Soul Masters on the continent as much as possible.
In this way, even if he were to go into seclusion for a long time, he could still compete with the God Realm with all the Soul Masters he possessed.
The fact that the God Realm is not attacking Douluo Continent now does not mean that the God Realm will not attack in the future. The fact that it is not attacking now simply means that it is not ready yet.
Judging from the God Realm's reaction after the passage to the God Realm was opened, the God Realm will not give up on Douluo Continent; their attack is only a matter of time.
Jerry now only hopes that the attack from the God Realm will come later, giving Douluo Continent time to develop.
Since Jerry gained the ability to transform matter, the Spirit Hall has never experienced a shortage of resources, which is actually a serious problem.
If Jerry is no longer around in the future, or if he goes into seclusion for too long, the existing supplies will eventually run out. Therefore, Jerry will not provide any more supplies except for what he needs himself.
From now on, all resources will have to be obtained through the natural development of Douluo Continent, and Jerry now feels that he can teach others the advanced uses of the teleportation array.
The previous teleportation array could only be used inside the planet because the Douluo Galaxy only had one inhabited planet.
Things are different now. All nine planets in the Douluo Galaxy are now inhabited. It's time to teach the interplanetary teleportation arrays.
There are still many resources on other planets, and as the planets advance, the resources they generate will become more and more abundant. The resources of the nine planets are enough for the current Soul Masters and Soul Beasts to use for many years.
Other Soul Masters are not yet able to survive in the universe. Neither their technology nor their Soul Tools have developed to the point of exploring the universe. Therefore, Jerry is the only one who can set up the planetary teleportation array.
After explaining the issue of the planetary teleportation array to Qian Daoliu, a suitable location was quickly chosen in Wuhun City.
This location was originally the site of the Spirit Hall, but now most of the Spirit Hall's buildings are in the sky. Apart from a few teleportation platforms, the rest of the ground is empty. It is now perfect for building the foundation for a planetary teleportation array. Moreover, the location is quite good, situated in the very center of Spirit City, which is convenient for the management of the Spirit Hall.
The only difference between the planetary teleportation array and the teleportation arrays used inside planets in the past is that their coordinates are different.
The coordinate center of the planetary teleportation array is the position of the sun, while the coordinate center of the teleportation array inside the planet is the Earth's center. There are only two sets of coordinates. If there are any other differences, it is that the planetary teleportation array consumes more energy.
The Spirit Hall currently has enough energy to supply all the cities on the continent, and every city is building energy storage stations, so the amount of energy stored will only increase in the future. Therefore, there is no need to worry about energy issues.
Jerry then scanned the other eight planets and selected a suitable location on each planet to build a teleportation array.
In this way, Soul Masters who are teleported in the future can build cities near the teleportation array without having to choose another location, which also reduces a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Time flies, and six and a half years have passed quickly. Fortunately, the divine realm did not launch an attack during these six and a half years.
Jerry's main body has now arrived at the Ninth Planet. The first eight planets have all successfully advanced twice, and the Ninth Planet is only a few days away from its second successful advancement. Therefore, Jerry has arrived at the Ninth Star System ahead of schedule to await the planet's advancement.
Suddenly, the concentration of soul power between heaven and earth reached one hundred times, and at the same time, the gravity of the entire planet also reached one hundred times. With abundant water and soil, the planet stabilized at this moment.
At this moment, Jerry knew that Planet Nine had completed its second advancement.
What happened next was the moment Jerry was most looking forward to.
With the successful second ascension of the ninth planet, the entire galaxy, just as it had been when all nine planets had ascended once before, saw the sun grow larger at a visible rate, and then burst forth with intense energy and white light once more.
The white light illuminated the entire galaxy, plunging it back into daylight.
Although Jerry was prepared, his eyes were still momentarily blinded by the white light.
Under the sun's white light and intense heat, the nine planets are also undergoing rapid changes.
This time, Jerry kept a close eye on the Ninth Planet. Under the sun's white light and scorching energy, the Ninth Planet's core was expanding at an extremely rapid rate, and at the same time, the speed at which it absorbed and converted soul power was also increasing.
Before the world was upgraded, the total amount of soil and water converted far exceeded the needs of the upgrade.
Jerry clearly felt that after the Earth's core expanded, the rate at which the soil was burned and absorbed assimilated also increased. The extra soil was quickly burned and absorbed.
Once the speed stabilized, Jerry did the calculations and found that, just as he had predicted, the planet's natural growth and advancement speed had increased to twenty-seven times.
With a natural growth rate 27 times faster, as long as the soil, water, and soul power are sufficient, the time for the planet to advance to the next level will be infinitely shortened.
After the planet's interior stabilized, Jerry thought the daylight would end soon, but that wasn't the case.
The daytime has not ended, and the nine planets continue to change.
As the sun has grown larger, the nine planets have also grown larger, and the distances between celestial bodies have undoubtedly decreased.
Although these changes are not obvious compared to the vast universe, significant changes actually occur inside each planet.
As the sun grows larger, it releases more energy, and the distances between planets are relatively closer, causing the internal temperatures of the nine planets to rise significantly.
Moreover, the white light that appears after all nine planets have advanced will accelerate the changes in the planets.
The previous burst of white light accelerated the planet's growth; in comparison, this burst of white light is far greater than the last one.
Moreover, during the second ascension of the nine planets, the planets grew rapidly under the illumination of white light.
Rapid planetary growth is usually a good thing, but the simultaneous growth of nine planets, and the second growth being even more dramatic than the first, is problematic.
The growth rate of the nine planets has now stabilized at 27 times, but the white light has not ended, and the planets are still undergoing uncontrollable changes.
This unknown change has many aspects, the most obvious of which is the rising temperature of the planet.
The planet's internal temperature is rising, which is not a good sign.
Every planet has a south pole and a north pole. Under normal circumstances, the poles are frozen for many years. If the temperature inside the planet continues to rise, the most direct impact will be the melting of the polar ice caps.
The massive melting of glaciers will subsequently disrupt the ratio of land to ocean area on the planet's interior.
The oceans cover a large portion of the surface area of planets one through five. If the glaciers melt further, the entire planet could potentially be covered by oceans.
The Second Planet and Douluo Planet are inhabited by Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. If they were covered by seawater, it would cause unimaginable disaster.
Jerry calculated that, at the current rate of glacial melting, the second planet would be completely covered by oceans in just one year.
The same applies to Douluo Planet; it will also be covered by oceans in about one year and three months.
Seeing this, Jerry felt his head buzzing. How did the planet's advancement turn into a disaster countdown?
Even if the white light stops now, the nine planets will grow larger and closer to the sun. The sun will also release more energy as it grows larger. Under the influence of these two factors, the internal temperature of the nine planets will rise rapidly, glaciers will melt, oceans will cover the entire globe, and disaster will be inevitable.
