Chapter 339
Crisis Resolved, Entire Galaxy Advances
Disaster was inevitable, but Jerry was extremely anxious, his mind racing to find a way to save himself.
To relocate.
This was the only solution Jerry could think of at that moment.
From the sixth planet onwards, the land area on each planet is larger than the ocean area. Even if all the glaciers melt, it would not be possible to submerge all the land.
In particular, the ninth planet has an ocean-to-land ratio of 1:9, meaning that even if all the glaciers melted, there would still be a large land area.
With land, humanity has space to live and a future.
Within one year, all the soul beasts on the second planet migrated there; within one year and three months, all the humans and other creatures on Douluo Planet migrated there.
If both are carried out simultaneously, and with the convenience of the planetary teleportation array, there is enough time.
However, this was only a last resort. Jerry continued to calculate, trying to find a better solution.
During these six and a half years, Jerry's cultivation did not stagnate. Through his own cultivation, coupled with the continuous flow of faith power, Jerry's divine sense reached 3900 million points.
With 3900 million points of divine thought, Jerry also constructed three worlds in his sea of consciousness.
Just as Jerry had predicted, every ten million increase in divine power could create a world.
Originally, I planned to go into seclusion for a period of time after this advancement to build the fourth world. However, the planet's advancement brought such a serious disaster, and I had to temporarily put aside my idea of seclusion and cultivation.
If all 3900 million divine thoughts were released, they could cover as many as three planets in the Douluo Galaxy, but that is far from enough now.
If one's divine sense could now cover the sun and the nine planets of the Douluo Galaxy, then one could quickly calculate the overall orbit of the nine celestial bodies.
Once calculated, by simultaneously adjusting the distances and orbits of the nine planets with divine thought, the internal environment and climate of the planet can be restored to their previous state. In this way, the glaciers will not melt, and the planet will no longer be in danger of being covered by oceans.
There are invisible gravitational forces between the nine planets and between the nine planets and the sun; a change in one affects the whole.
Simply changing the position of a planet can trigger a series of other chain reactions.
If nine planets move simultaneously, although it will cause a series of changes, the impact will undoubtedly be greatly reduced if the forces between them remain consistent.
Moving the position of a single planet is something Jerry can barely manage with his current divine sense, but changing the positions of nine planets simultaneously is something no one in the entire Douluo Galaxy should be able to do right now.
So this plan still won't work, so Jerry can only try moving one planet first.
Jerry calculated that if the positions of the nine planets were adjusted in a short period of time, even if there were some harms, they could be minimized.
Jerry prepared to move the planets from the outside in, starting with the ninth planet. He began to quickly calculate the interaction forces between the ninth planet and the other eight planets, as well as the sun.
At this moment, Jerry's brain was like a high-speed computer, rapidly calculating various data.
Various data points appeared in Jerry's mind one after another, and the interconnected data were processed rapidly. Once a data point was calculated, it was immediately applied to other calculations.
The calculations between celestial bodies involved such a massive amount of data that even though Jerry's brain was hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the most advanced computers, the sheer volume of data processing overwhelmed his brain, and his head began to ache slightly.
Time passed second by second, and Jerry felt that with each passing second, the pain in his head would intensify. His brain was already overloaded, and Jerry had to slow down his calculations to alleviate the pain in his head.
The white light had lasted for two days, and the soul masters and soul beasts on Douluo Planet were beginning to feel uneasy.
Fortunately, Jerry and Qian Daoliu had explained things about the universe beforehand, and they also knew that the last white light represented the entire star system advancing. So after the white light appeared this time, the Spirit Hall sent more people to maintain order in each city and to keep the people from panicking.
However, this lasted for quite a while. Although the Spirit Hall personnel kept saying that everything was fine, a trace of panic could still be seen on their faces.
Although they were also terrified, they had to suppress their fear. After all, they were members of the Spirit Hall and represented the Spirit Hall. If even they panicked, it would be a disarray, and if no one maintained order, the situation would be unimaginable.
They had an unwavering faith in the Spirit Hall and were at the forefront, maintaining order across the entire continent.
Many people began to pray, and the first person they thought of was Jerry. They then began to pray that the great god Jerry would protect them and keep them safe.
Jerry, far away on the ninth planet, suddenly felt a strong power of faith coming from him, which quickly merged into his body.
Jerry immediately sensed that most of this faith power came from Douluo Continent, and a portion came from the soul beasts of the second planet.
It seems that it's not just humans who are starting to panic; even the spirit beasts are starting to panic.
The power of faith arrived just in time, and Jerry immediately stopped his mental calculations and began to absorb the power of faith with all his might to cultivate.
3900 million points, 3910 million points, 3920 million points...
Jerry's spiritual power quickly reached 4000 million points. At this moment, he immersed himself in his sea of consciousness, and the fourth planet was quickly formed, completing the construction of a new world.
The successful construction of the new world allowed Jerry's strength to break through once again, and his cultivation level reached a new level. Jerry felt that he was now more powerful than ever before.
Even after the breakthrough, the power of faith continued to flow in.
Jerry checked and found that this breakthrough was very fast, taking only two days, much less time than before.
It is evident that under the illumination of white light, the human body, or any living organism, undergoes some changes, but these changes are difficult to detect.
If Jerry hadn't broken through under the white light this time, he wouldn't have noticed this change.
Overall, white light is more like a light of evolution, which can not only accelerate the growth of planets, but also cause some imperceptible evolution in the organisms that are illuminated.
There is no time to study the specific changes that white light causes in organisms, but overall, the changes are in a positive direction.
With our current strength, it's too early to study this white light.
The last time the white light appeared for a day and a night, this time it has lasted for four days and four nights and still hasn't ended.
Now that he knows the white light is beneficial to living beings, Jerry immediately released two clones, one to the second planet and the other to Douluo Planet.
After explaining the benefits of white light, they were instructed to organize everyone to bathe in it.
Many soul beasts dislike light, so they hid after the white light appeared. After Jerry's clone notified them, the Silver Dragon King, Fairy Queen, and Elf Queen immediately began to make arrangements. Even the soul beasts that disliked light had to be dragged out and bathed in the white light.
Under the organization and propaganda of the Spirit Hall, the humans on Douluo Planet left their houses and began to bathe in the white light.
The fear I had felt earlier vanished completely when I was bathed in white light.
Upon learning that white light is beneficial to the body, many people felt it was a miracle, and some even hoped that the white light could last longer.
After sending out the message, Jerry immediately returned to the Ninth Planet. After all, Jerry needed to focus on cultivation and deduction. Creating a clone would mean giving up a portion of his strength, and Jerry wouldn't release a clone unless it was an emergency.
When everyone began to bathe in the white light, Jerry clearly felt that his faith power had decreased significantly, but he did not feel any regret.
After absorbing all the faith power, Jerry's divine sense reached 4700 million points. This time, the faith power was truly abundant, indicating that Jerry's previous population increase plan had been very successful.
In just a few years, the number of humans and soul beasts has clearly increased in both Douluo Continent and the Second Planet.
However, Douluo Planet has grown larger, and even with the increase in population, there are still many undeveloped areas on Douluo Planet.
Once the population of Douluo Planet reaches a more saturated level, we can start developing other planets.
Aside from the second planet, which Jerry explained was for spirit beasts to inhabit, the Spirit Hall had built cities around the planetary teleportation arrays on the other seven planets.
Currently, the Spirit Hall is only conducting basic development, so the city is not large, and most areas are used for storing supplies.
As Jerry's population development plan progresses, many humans will gradually migrate to these planets many years later.
However, that's all a long way off. If the immediate problem isn't solved, a year from now, all life will have to migrate to a few planets further down the galaxy.
The white light continued to shine.
Jerry discovered that his cultivation speed also increased under the white light, becoming more than ten times faster than before.
I don't know when the white light will disappear, but I'm sure I'm doing the right thing by cultivating now.
So Jerry began to wholeheartedly practice the "Dragon Visualization Method".
Under the white light, Jerry felt his mind was exceptionally clear, and his cultivation was incredibly smooth, making him thoroughly enjoy his current state of cultivation.
Even the visualized dragon became a little clearer at this moment.
At this moment, Jerry was completely immersed in the ocean of cultivation.
Similar to Jerry, many humans and spirit beasts also began to cultivate while bathing in the white light, and they too became immersed in it.
More and more people are immersing themselves in cultivation. Even the breeze seems to have hidden away to cultivate. The leaves no longer rustle, and the whole world has become quiet.
After an unknown period of time, the white light disappeared, and everyone woke up from their cultivation.
Without the white light, the cultivation returned to its previous state, and I no longer became immersed in it.
Jerry also woke up and calculated the time; five days had passed.
It appears that the white light lasted for nine days.
During those nine days, the entire galaxy seemed to have been elevated.
After reviewing my cultivation over the past five days, I found that my divine sense had reached 4900 million points.
Two million more in five days. Seeing this result, Jerry felt a pang of heartache, since he hadn't cultivated for the first four days, which was a waste.
If I had cultivated a few days ago, I probably would have already constructed my fifth world.
Although it was a pity, Jerry quickly adjusted his mindset.
He released his divine sense, once again enveloping the four planets, and began the previous calculations.
Suddenly, Jerry's eyes widened.
Under Jerry's divine sense, he could clearly feel the positions of the four planets slowly shifting.
Upon seeing this, Jerry instantly flew into space and was surprised to find that, apart from the sun's position remaining unchanged, the positions of the nine planets were shifting.
If Jerry's divine sense hadn't been able to cover several planets, it would have been difficult to detect this shift.
Based on this shift in direction, Jerry calculated that the orbits of all the planets had become larger, and the distances between the planets had also increased.
This change is like the galaxy being magnified proportionally. Previously, the planets grew larger while the rest remained the same. After the white light ended, their relative positions also began to change.
However, this change occurs in the universe and is relatively slow; it is difficult to detect changes in galaxies without careful observation.
Jerry immediately began to calculate in his mind that if the scales were magnified proportionally, then the forces between them would also change proportionally.
If the speculation is correct, this change should have little impact on the planet's interior.
Being in the universe, Jerry unleashed his divine sense and soon touched the edge of the universe.
Jerry began to explore along the edge.
As Jerry had predicted, the entire galaxy's space had indeed expanded.
Jerry had previously worried that as the entire galaxy advanced and grew larger, just like this time, the ninth planet, located at the outermost edge of the Douluo Galaxy, would eventually touch the edge of the universe.
Now Jerry is relieved. The entire universe has become larger, so he no longer needs to worry about Planet Nine crashing into the edge of the universe.
He tested the strength of the edge, and it was still so solid. Although he was now powerful, it was still impossible for him to break through the edge of the universe and escape this galaxy.
The divine realm must have a way to escape this universe, and Jerry must find that way.
Although the God Realm has not yet invaded, once I can break through the spatial barrier, even if the God Realm does not attack Douluo Continent, I will still take the God Realm back to Douluo Planet.
The God Realm is a small world developed based on Douluo Continent, and it is an inseparable part of the main body of Douluo Continent.
If the divine realm is not completely independent, Jerry might consider staying in the divine realm.
Of course, if Douluo Planet were to evolve once more before Jerry could open the spatial barrier, according to previous calculations, the concentration of soul power in the world would reach a thousand times.
The current concentration of soul power in the God Realm is only about a thousand times higher, so if the Douluo World were to advance again, the God Realm would be completely superfluous.
Therefore, there are now two directions for development: one is for the God Realm to open up the spatial barrier between itself and Douluo Continent, and the other is for Jerry to break through the barrier between Douluo Continent and the God Realm.
Both seem to involve opening up spatial barriers, but the results are two different things.
Whoever breaks through the spatial barrier first indirectly represents the strength of that side.
Jerry currently possesses 4900 million points of divine sense, is at the fourth level of the World Realm, and has constructed four worlds within his sea of consciousness. With such strength, he can be said to be at the forefront of the entire Douluo Galaxy.
However, even with such strength, it was still impossible to break through the spatial barrier.
So Jerry is now obsessed with cultivation, trying to improve his cultivation level as quickly as possible.
Jerry planned his future direction: improve his cultivation, reclaim the God Realm, and then have all nine planets of the Douluo Galaxy advance nine times to see what changes would occur in the Douluo Galaxy afterward.
Jerry's current cultivation is like a microcosm of a galaxy, and the direction of the galaxy's development is indirectly guiding Jerry's cultivation.
The Douluo Galaxy is not Jerry's target; Jerry's target is the observers.
The Douluo Galaxy is like a giant cage. If you don't know the situation, you might live a peaceful life inside this cage for the rest of your life.
Jerry wants to break free of this cage and see how many worlds lie outside. If possible, Jerry wants to return to his true home. (End of Chapter)
