This phenomenon was a direct result of Ye Lan utilizing Void Thought. The reason he had chosen Void Thought over Spirit Replication in the past was its ability to expand his casting range infinitely; as long as his consciousness could reach it, it was within his domain.
To expand his mental reach across the entire Douluo Star, he would normally need to activate his Blue Silver Mecha True Form. However, doing so would drain his energy at an astronomical rate. Although he could maintain it for several days, he did not possess infinite soul power and could not sustain it indefinitely. He also couldn't stay in a martial soul fusion state with Leng Leng forever to gain infinite recovery, as that would be detrimental to her mental well-being. Unless absolutely necessary, Ye Lan refused to do so.
But everything changed once he became the Lord of Douluo. In this state, he automatically gained a "God's eye view" of the planet and an innate affinity with all living beings on Douluo Star. Consequently, without needing Ye Leng Leng, he could combine his status as Lord of Douluo with Void Thought to encompass the entire planet within his casting range.
The result was staggering. The ten-fold life growth bonuses from Heart of Life, Soul Beast Destiny, Life Domain, and Blue Silver Sublimation all stacked. This created a total ten-thousand-fold life growth acceleration that went into effect across the entire planet.
Ye Lan locked this effect onto the Blue Silver Grass clan. Within a single year, every stalk of Blue Silver Grass evolved into a ten-thousand-year grade! According to the collective plant consciousness, Douluo Star now boasted a staggering one hundred billion ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass!! Furthermore, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well now housed one million stalks of hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass!!!
Due to his initial affinity as Lord of Douluo, when Ye Lan activated Life Sharing, almost every soul beast, human, and wild animal—excluding enemies like Tang San—connected to the link. On Douluo Star, he could draw upon the vitality of every living thing.
He remained cautious, however, as he wasn't sure if his connection to the planet or his status as Lord of Douluo would remain active once he entered the Abyss. Had it not been for the restriction that only Titled Douluo could enter the Ninth Abyss Dungeon, he would have long ago leveled the Abyssal Plane to avenge Gu Yuena.
Ye Lan dubbed this synergy of Life Sharing, Void Thought, and Lord of Douluo the Life Sharing System. When linked with Heartsteel, it became the Heartsteel System. Now, every time he triggered Heartsteel, he would gain 0.3% of the total vitality of the Douluo Continent.
To prevent any accidents, he decided to only link the vitality of the Blue Silver Grass. If he linked everything and something went wrong, the sheer weight of the Heartsteel System might accidentally kill off the human and soul beast populations. Linking only the grass was slightly slower, but not by much. There were only hundreds of thousands of soul masters and a few million soul beasts (excluding Blue Silver Grass) on the continent. Even the combined life of commoners didn't compare to the one hundred billion ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass stalks now populating the world.
"Displaying Divine Power!! Blue Silver, share your life with me!!!" Ye Lan roared.
The vitality of one hundred billion ten-thousand-year stalks and one million hundred-thousand-year stalks converged into Ye Lan's body. Boundless life energy flooded him, and a "Shared Life Health Bar" appeared above his head. Under his God's eye view, the planet itself couldn't contain the length of that bar. Enhanced by Void Thought, Ye Lan observed the health bar stretching 150,000 kilometers—ten times the diameter of Douluo Star! It was a stellar-level health bar, utterly absurd!!
The hundred-thousand-year stalks alone provided him with 2,100 times the vitality of a Quasi-God limit. The hundred billion ten-thousand-year stalks provided 2,674,500 times that limit. Combined, Ye Lan possessed 2,675,100 times the vitality of a Quasi-God limit!!
Since the vitality of a Second-Class God is roughly 125,000 times that limit, Ye Lan's base life was now 20 times the level of a Second-Class God!! And that was just his base. When adding his other multipliers:
Domain Bonus: Life Domain (+100%)
Life Bonuses: "I Want to Grow Up" (+1,100%), Blue Silver Sublimation (+100%)
Summon Bonus: "Grow Quickly" (+100%)
Total Life Multipliers: Ultimate Water (+100%), Heart of Life (+500%), Torso Bone (+200%), Martial Soul Avatar (+100%)
His total life multiplier reached 936 times! Ye Lan now possessed 18,720 times the vitality of a Second-Class God, or 187 times the level of a First-Class God!! If a God-King is a hundred times stronger than a First-Class God, Ye Lan currently possessed 1.87 times the vitality of a God-King!!
Even more terrifying was the synergy of Titan Divine Body, Kunpeng Divine Body, and Heavenly Soul Divine Body. Under the Titan Divine Body's calculation for a God-King level life, his size increased by 258,400%! With additional size bonuses from Blue Silver Sublimation, "Grow Quickly," and the Kunpeng Divine Body (which converted 3D scaling into direct scaling), his size increased by 124,032 times!!
As a Titled Douluo, his Blue Silver Life Mecha stood 520 meters tall. After the multipliers, it reached 64 million meters!! This was five times the diameter of Douluo Star!!! According to the Titan Divine Body, he was now a Planetary-Level Lifeform!!
Through the Heavenly Soul Divine Body, he gained soul power based on his life—equivalent to 28 times the soul power of a God-King!!! This, in turn, fed back into his Blue Silver Grass base life. With his 936-fold multiplier, the Blue Silver Life Mecha's vitality reached 26,200 times that of a God-King!! Effectively, he was 262 times a Super God-King level life!!
At this moment, a ten-meter-tall Blue Silver Life Mecha floated above the ocean. The second it appeared, space shattered!! Countless pockets of air rushed into the void.
"Boss!! What's happening!? Why is space collapsing around you!?"
"Is this your divine power!? Just existing is destroying the world!!" the Skyreach Ice Worm cried in shock.
The Mecha's orange-gold eyes flashed. Using the affinity granted by Lord of Douluo and the bonus from Divine Unfathomability, he locked onto three sea soul beasts miles away and triggered Life Sharing. Heartsteel marks appeared on them. Ye Lan struck them instantly using Void Thought and Invisible Form.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Three incredibly satisfying sounds rang out. The shared health bar above him, thousands of times the length of the planet, dropped by 9%. To his surprise, his life didn't increase by 1% of the total (which would be 2.62 times a Super God-King), but rather by 1.88 times the life of a First-Class God.
He didn't dwell on it. He activated Blue Silver Sublimation to refill the bar, transferred the shared health to a single stalk of grass he created, and deactivated his skills. Only then did the shattered space begin to heal. Once the space stabilized, showing that a First-Class God's presence wouldn't destroy Douluo Star, Ye Lan sighed in relief. Even without the shared link, he now possessed nearly twice the life of a First-Class God!
Using Consciousness Acceleration and his multi-faceted hearts, he processed his thoughts at 20,000 times speed. He realized the Heartsteel trigger hadn't factored in the Heavenly Soul Divine Body's bonus. It only calculated based on his life before that skill's multiplier. This was a "bug fix" by the system to prevent him from literally exploding the universe. If they looped infinitely, his growth would be terminal. Still, gaining nearly two times the life of a First-Class God in a few hits was more than satisfactory.
The total vitality of all living things on Douluo Star was only 20 times that of a Second-Class God. He was now at 188 times that level in his base state!! Once he went full power, he would reach the Super God-King level!!!
Thinking of this, Ye Lan looked at the sky and laughed heartily! The burdens in his heart finally lifted.
Abyssal Overlord? If I don't rip your head off, I'll take your name!!
"Boss!! What just happened??" the Deep Sea Demon Whale King asked, trembling.
"Yeah! Why did space break? And your life force... it's wrong. Why can't I even sense it anymore?" the Ice Worm added.
"Little Sea, isn't the Sea God your enemy? I could crush Him with a single finger now," Ye Lan said calmly.
"What??!! Boss, you're only a Rank 95 Titled Douluo!!!" the whale stammered.
"My Lord!! The so-called Sea God is nothing but a clown!" Xiao Lan shouted with fervor.
"My Lord, your strength is unfathomable!! How strong was that presence just now?" the Titan Giant Ape asked, realizing it had truly backed the right horse.
"Just now? At my peak, I was about two million times stronger than the Sea God," Ye Lan explained.
The Skyreach Ice Worm began babbling incoherently from the shock.
"My Lord, why didn't the Blue Silver Life Mecha grow to ten thousand meters?" Er Ming asked.
"Thanks to a new soul skill, I can change my size at will. Otherwise, my true form would have swallowed Douluo Star into a void," Ye Lan replied.
"That big?? Is your Mecha as large as the planet??"
"Roughly. It's actually about four times the size of Douluo Star," Ye Lan noted.
"6..." said the Ice Worm.
"6..." said the Whale King.
"59..." said the Blue Silver Grass.
"66..." said the Titan Giant Ape.
Across the planet, lifeforms were shocked as forests in many places turned into a blue ocean, only for the blue to fade away moments later. Everything seemed back to normal, but Ye Lan's inner circle knew: a physical God-King had been born on Douluo Star!!
Ye Lan didn't return to the continent immediately. He stayed over the ocean to adapt to the power of a First-Class God. Even with his high-speed processing, this body was terrifyingly difficult to handle. If he didn't control this power, he would have to live as a Void Spirit forever; otherwise, his mere presence would be an apocalypse for his friends and family.
He marveled at the power of Soul Skill Selection. By combining skills, he had created an impossible miracle. Three triggers of Heartsteel had pushed him to the level of a First-Class God, thanks to the synergy with Void Thought and Life Sharing.
As time passed, every Blue Silver Grass on the planet would become a hundred-thousand-year rank. If they all took human form, Douluo Star would have ten billion potential Titled Douluo. The impact on human society would be cataclysmic. Ye Lan wasn't sure how to handle such a massive clan yet. Perhaps the only way was to help Douluo Star itself grow to accommodate so much life.
He had only opened the "Life Growth" permission for the Blue Silver Grass. He could do the same for any species. If he did it for all low-level soul beasts, within a hundred years, every beast on the planet would be a hundred-thousand-year rank.
As Ye Lan pondered, he realized that with such absolute power, the ripples he caused would only become more terrifying.
