Chapter 113: Ang Pag-akyat sa Kalangitan(The Ascension to the Heavenly Realm) – The Dimensional Uplift
The Phoenix Valley had completely detached from the mortal world.
It was no longer a simple piece of land. It had become a gaping wound in reality, leaking iridescent light that spilled upward into the sky. Lakan Diwa stood at the center of the Nirvana Altar, his newly forged Phoenix Heart God Core pulsing with the dense, heavy rhythm of a collapsing star.
Around him, the basic laws of the Douluo Planet started to unravel. Gravity twisted and bent. Time thickened and pooled like golden liquid around his feet.
Lakan drew Buan ng Bukas, the silver kampilan known as the Moon of Tomorrow. The blade did not reflect the current sun. Instead, it showed skies that had yet to exist.
With one clean, sweeping arc that covered the entire five-hundred-mile border of the valley, Lakan executed a Relativistic Paradox Slice. He did not cut the ground itself. He severed the causal anchors that tied the valley to the Douluo Planet's coordinates in space and time.
To any outsider watching — a terrified Spirit Hall scout or a distant fisherman — the Phoenix Valley suddenly shimmered like a giant mirror, reflecting only empty sky. Then, with a sharp sound like heavy silk being torn apart, the entire valley vanished from the mortal plane.
Inside, the transformation felt far more dramatic.
The familiar blue sky dissolved, replaced by a vast swirling nebula filled with the shifting colors of the Seven Hues. The valley had become a four-dimensional anchor floating freely in the void — weightless and completely free from the planet below.
Lakan closed his eyes and expanded his Sovereign Origin Spirit. His awareness reached every grain of sand, every leaf, and every rock in the valley.
"From matter to essence," he said quietly.
With every powerful beat of his Phoenix Heart God Core, ripples of Chaos Qi spread outward. He was not simply purifying the land. He was re-weaving its fundamental particles. The ordinary three-dimensional matter — the carbon in the trees, the silicon in the stones — was completely restructured into fifth-dimensional Divine Matter.
The transformation spread rapidly. What started as a small valley expanded without limit until it stretched across one billion kilometers in this higher dimension.
But make no mistake — one billion kilometers in the fifth dimension is infinitely larger than the entire three-dimensional world. In this realm, power, size, strength, speed, and durability operated on an entirely different scale. Even a single breath of air here carried more weight than an entire mountain range in the mortal world. An attack powerful enough to destroy a three-dimensional planet would barely scratch a single tree in the Phoenix God Star.
To put the scale into perspective, Lakan remembered scenes from his previous life. In the Douluo Dalu, when the first-class God peeked down at the Douluo Planet from the Divine Realm, his eyes alone were as large as moons or entire planets. A God king, when he reached his peak, was depicted as so enormous that he could hold an entire dimension in the palm of his hand. Yet even that level of power felt small compared to what Lakan had just created. The Phoenix God Star existed in a higher dimension, making it fundamentally superior in every way.
At the center of the realm, the Phoenix Spring — which Lakan had formed by transferring essence from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well — underwent a complete evolution. The clear water boiled with prismatic colors before transforming into the Spring of Creation. It stopped producing ordinary water and began releasing dense streams of Immortal Qi, the high-density energy required for true godhood.
The Phoenix Valley was gone.
In its place now stood the Phoenix God Star, a powerful fifth-dimensional pocket dimension with far greater spiritual depth than the four-dimensional Douluo Divine Realm.
As a fifth-dimensional sanctuary, the realm functioned as a universal anchor, capable of overseeing an infinite number of parallel realities and multiverses while simultaneously generating its own inexhaustible supply of Immortal Qi. It existed beyond the linear flow of time, allowing Lakan to observe and influence events across different timelines as if they were a single, static landscape. Within its borders, God Positions were no longer mere titles but conceptual anchors fused into the fabric of the dimension, granting its inhabitants absolute immunity to lower-dimensional interference and the authority to enforce Divine Punishment that could wipe a soul from the stars.
Lakan raised his voice, the command echoing across the newborn realm.
"Kings of the Flame, take your thrones!"
Ten streaks of elemental lightning shot out from the thirty-six Heavenly Star Acupoints across his body. The Ten Phoenix Kings answered instantly and claimed their positions at the cardinal points of the new realm.
The Ice Phoenix King settled in the north, weaving layers of Absolute Zero directly into the dimensional walls. The Radiant Phoenix King rose to the center of the nebula, becoming the internal sun that would nourish all life below. The Spacetime Birds within Lakan's kampilans worked as grand weavers, carefully stitching the fifth-dimensional shell together until it was seamless and unbreakable.
The Phoenix God Star had become an impenetrable fortress. Because it existed in the fifth dimension, even the Asura God in his four-dimensional palace could no longer see or sense inside it. To the Divine Realm Council, a massive portion of the Douluo Planet had simply turned into a causal blind spot.
Finally, Lakan raised his hand and projected a giant Baybayin character across the heavens — the symbol "ᜉ" representing Paglikha, or Creation. This was his Sovereign Decree made physical. Within the Phoenix God Star, Lakan's will became the absolute law. Flowers bloomed carrying the scent of cherished memories. Rivers flowed with liquid light in the colors of the Seven Hues. The entire realm responded instantly to his thoughts.
The Phoenix God Star was now officially born.
Standing at its center, Lakan sent out a powerful mental pulse — a Divine Transmission — to his wives and most loyal allies. It was not a simple message. It was a complete shared vision of the future he had built for them.
In Martial Soul City, Bibi Dong, Shui Bing'er, Zhu Zhuqing, and Qian Renxue suddenly felt the world around them fade. In its place appeared the breathtaking sight of the Phoenix God Star. They felt rich Immortal Qi flowing through the Baybayin marks on their bodies, rapidly strengthening their souls.
They understood right away. Lakan had not just become a god. He had become the Source itself. He had created a true heaven where they could reach their full potential without being controlled by the old gods.
Inside the Phoenix God Star, the ascensions accelerated.
Yan stood amid roaring flames as Lakan's Heavenly Flames purified his spirit. He rose to become a First-Class Fire God with the potential to become a God King himself.
Hu Liena's abilities transformed completely. She became the Second-Class Goddess of Dreams, her charm powers now capable of weaving entire realities.
Xie Yue's blades turned cold and lunar as he stepped into the role of Second-Class God of the Moon.
Both the Siblings has the potential to become First Class Gods if they train hard.
Shui Yu'er, standing near the Spring of Creation, felt the Ice Jade Scorpion King and Snow Empress merge with her. She ascended as the First-Class Goddess of Water.
"Wait… does this mean I'm a Divine Scorpion now?" Bing Bing's voice echoed in Yu'er's mind, shocked but excited. "I was a soul beast, then a spirit, and now I'm part of a goddess's law?"
"Looks like it, sister," the Snow Empress replied with amusement. "And the Immortal Qi here is far better than the northern snow."
Shui Bing'er felt Tianmeng bouncing wildly in her spiritual sea.
"Bing'er! Did you see that?!" Tianmeng squealed. "Lakan built a massive five-dimensional house! I don't have to be just a spirit anymore! I'm a Divine Spirit Caterpillar now! I can eat stars!"
Bing'er sighed, though a small smile formed on her lips. "Tianmeng, calm down. My husband just created an entire realm."
"Dignity is overrated when the Immortal Qi feels this good!" Tianmeng shot back happily.
Then came a more significant moment.
In a wide open area near the Spring of Creation, the soul spirits of Lakan's wives began to fully manifest in their new divine forms.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King appeared first, but he looked completely different now. Thanks to Lakan using the Baybayin "ᜊ" (Ba - Metamorphosis) and Chaos Qi, the former bloated monster had evolved into a majestic Divine Totem. He took humanoid form — a towering three-meter-tall warrior with mountain-like muscles and skin the color of deep-sea basalt. Heavy segmented Abyssal Plate Armor flowed across his body like liquid mercury. A single glowing violet eye — replacing the one lost long ago to the Sea God — burned with power. Crackling purple electricity formed a mane that trailed behind him like a nebula. In his hand, he held a massive four-meter-long Harpoon-Kampilan called "The World-Breaker's Spine," forged from his own original million-year-old bones.
Beside him materialized the Demon Empress, his wife, and their daughter Lan Fozi. All three now existed as true Divine Beasts, no longer bound by their old limitations.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked at his wife and daughter with clear relief and gratitude.
"I never thought we would stand together like this again," he said, his deep voice steady. "When Lakan Diwa approached me and explained Poseidon's plan — using me as a stepping stone and sacrifice for Tang San — I chose to become Bibi Dong's soul spirit instead. It was the right decision."
The Demon Empress moved closer, her powerful presence calm and warm. "You protected us by making that choice. Because of you becoming her soul spirit, Bibi Dong was able to ascend. Your million-year body served as the necessary sacrifice, just like Bo Saixi was meant to be for Tang San. She fused your Law of the Deep with her Rakshasa Core and became the Goddess of the Abyss. She reached half-step God King level, but lacked the Immortal Qi to go further."
Lan Fozi swam forward excitedly, her form smaller but filled with energy. "Father! Mother! This place… the Immortal Qi here is incredible. I can feel it filling every part of me. We're finally safe from Poseidon's schemes. He can't use you as a test for Tang San anymore. We have a real home now."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King placed a large hand on his daughter's head. "That's right. And because we are now inside Lakan's Phoenix God Star, the dense Immortal Qi is finally enough. Bibi Dong and the others can complete their ascensions."
At that moment, powerful auras erupted across the realm.
Bibi Dong's presence surged as the abundant Immortal Qi flooded her body. The half-step God King barrier broke. She officially became a true God King — the Goddess King of the Abyss.
Not far away, Zhu Zhuqing's power exploded as the Void Stalking Panther spirit fully integrated with the new energy,.the Demon Empress from afar also experience it. She rose as the God King of the Night.
Shui Bing'er, supported by Tianmeng and Lan Fozi's presence, stepped into her full power as the Goddess King of the Glacial Origin.
Qian Renxue, who had no soul spirit like the others, still benefited greatly from the rich Immortal Qi. Her angelic power blazed with prismatic light as she ascended to become the God King of the Prismatic Angel.
All four of Lakan's wives had now become formal God Kings the moment they entered the Phoenix God Star.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King stood tall behind Bibi Dong, his single violet eye glowing. When his gaze swept across the realm and imagined Tang San far away on Sea God Island, it carried the weight of a physical hammer. The "prey" had become the executioner.
"We are no longer tools for the Sea God," the Whale King declared. "We are Divine Beasts serving a true Sovereign. This is our new beginning."
Lakan stood at the center of the Phoenix God Star, watching as his allies and wives continued their rapid ascensions. Their souls burned like bright new stars.
He turned his gaze toward Sea God Island in the distance. The shared vision he sent to his wives ended with one final, powerful message that shook their souls:
"The old heaven is nothing but a cage. The new heaven is a promise. I am coming for the Sea God, and I will bring the full might of the Phoenix Star with me."
With a single thought, Lakan opened a portal and stepped through it, leaving the safety of the fifth-dimensional realm to return to the three-dimensional battlefield.
The Supreme God-King had descended.
And Tang San's carefully built destiny was about to face its end.
