**Chapter 325: The Culprit is Found**

Zhao Ling's indignant expression made the Sea God, the God of Food, and the Nine-Colored Goddess glance at each other in bewilderment.

Damn... A huge hole had appeared in the sky above the Douluo Mortal Realm and the God Realm seven or eight days ago. Now, the culprit behind the massive influx of Heaven and Earth Energy had finally been found.

For many days, the gods in their divine world had been searching for this mysterious existence, and now this figure stood before them. Moreover, the other party also showed an intention to take away the extremely rich Heaven and Earth energy that had been pouring into the Douluo God Realm.

The Sea God asked Zhao Ling tentatively, "That... little guy, this enormous amount of Heaven and Earth Force pouring into the Douluo God Realm will be of great benefit to everyone. How can you say that you're at a disadvantage? After all, the scope of the Douluo God Realm has expanded so much, and the Heaven and Earth Force is so much richer; it will only become more and more stable. Even you and your wife will have to come to the Douluo God Realm in the future, right?"

"Yes, handsome man, even if the energy of Heaven and Earth poured into the Douluo God Realm, it was indeed thanks to you. But if this divine world becomes bigger and more stable, wouldn't it be of great benefit to you and your wife in the future?" The Nine-Colored Goddess persuaded Zhao Ling without hesitation.

For these gods, the past seven or eight days had been significant. The energy of Heaven and Earth in the Douluo God Realm had increased fivefold, and its range had expanded tenfold, bringing them substantial benefits. Even their strength, which had stagnated for a long time, showed a faint upward trend.

But now, the other party claimed to want to take away the Heaven and Earth energy that did not originally belong to the Douluo God Realm.

"Benefits? I don't think it's much of a benefit." Zhao Ling shrugged nonchalantly as he responded to the three of them. "This Douluo God Realm is really too small. Even with so much Heaven and Earth Force pouring in and causing its range to expand tenfold, its scope is still pitifully small. My current plan is to absorb the Heaven and Earth energy that doesn't belong to this Douluo God Realm and then open up a new God Realm. The new God Realm I create will be more stable and vast than this Douluo God Realm."

"What? You want to open up a divine world on your own? Are you kidding me???"

The Sea God, the God of Food, and the Nine-Colored Goddess looked shocked. They had never heard of anyone creating a God Realm, and the Douluo God Realm had existed for many years. They didn't know who had opened it, but it seemed that the Douluo God Realm had existed since time immemorial. The Douluo God Realm of the past was infinitely larger than the current one, far beyond what it was now.

"Just kidding? Do you really think I'm joking?" Zhao Ling chuckled, a plan forming in his mind.

Suddenly, the Sea God, the God of Food, and the Nine-Colored Goddess felt a suction pulling them into Zhao Ling's dantian.

When they reacted, they found themselves in an incredibly vast space. Above them was a blue sky, and below were expansive oceans and land. This space contained an abundance of Heaven and Earth's primordial force, as well as rich primordial energy born when Heaven and Earth were first created.

Of course, there were also shortcomings—namely, the lack of the immortal spirit of the divine world.

Breathing in the energy of origin, they felt their strength slowly increasing. The three gods swallowed in awe. The Sea God then asked Zhao Ling, "Well... that… little brother, after you open up the God Realm, can you let the three of us stay here? I feel that your undeveloped divine world has great potential for growth."

Zhao Ling concentrated his soul in front of the three gods and spoke. "This world is just one of the eighteen worlds in my space. There are seventeen more worlds in the eighteen-world space. I want to absorb the Heaven and Earth energy that originally belonged to me into the Eighteen Realms Airspace and help the Eighteen Realms grow again. After we officially open up the new God Realm, you can stay here if you want, but you must keep this a secret."

"No problem, absolutely no problem," Poseidon assured him eagerly.

The Eighteen Realms of Airspace hadn't yet been officially opened into a divine realm, but the primordial energy from the beginning of Heaven and Earth contained within them allowed their stagnant strength to grow slowly. If the Eighteen Realms of Space could open up a true divine realm, the benefits would likely far exceed their understanding.

As for what would happen to the original Douluo God Realm, it was none of their business. They were simply discussing the absorption of the elemental force of Heaven and Earth that did not originally belong to the Douluo God Realm. The Heaven and Earth elemental energy and immortal spirit energy that originally belonged to the Douluo God Realm would be retained. Zhao Ling wasn't doing anything excessive. Even Poseidon thought that Zhao Ling could refine the entire Douluo God Realm into his Eighteen Realms Airspace.

Maybe the gods in the Douluo God Realm would be grateful to him if they knew about this. However, Poseidon did not suggest as much. After all, the five law enforcers, including the God of Shura, God of Destruction, and God of Life, had been in high positions for a long time. If they found out that the divine realm would be refined into someone else's dantian, they would certainly not be pleased.

After all, who would want a boss above their head?

The Sea God, the God of Food, and the Nine-Colored Goddess understood this at that moment. The fact that Zhao Ling dared to take them into the Eighteen Realms of Space within his dantian demonstrated that his strength had reached an extraordinarily terrifying level. If they dared not to keep the secret, he might not only suck them into the Eighteen Realms Airspace but could easily wipe them out.

They didn't want to die. Wouldn't it be better if they simply kept the agreement with Zhao Ling and became the first batch of residents in the new divine realm he intended to open? Even if they couldn't live on the same floor of the Eighteen Realms Airspace with Zhao Ling in the future, it wouldn't matter. Living in other realms was also acceptable.

Once the Sea God, the God of Food, and the Nine-Colored Goddess were released from the Eighteen Realms Airspace, they felt as if something unreal had just happened.

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. I have things to deal with."

After saying that, Zhao Ling disappeared, leaving the three gods in shock.

"I never thought he actually has the ability to open up an interface. It's amazing," Poseidon said, swallowing hard. Thinking back to more than 20 years ago when he first met Zhao Ling, his strength was quite low and he was no match for him at all. But now, the opponent's strength had reached a level that Poseidon could not attain. If Zhao Ling wanted to wipe out the three of them now, it would be no more difficult than crushing an ant.

"I think we should keep this a secret. Otherwise, if we leak it, he'll definitely not let us go," said the God of Food, his voice tinged with lingering fear.

"Of course. I hope he will really let us enter the new divine realm in the future. The primordial energy in the new divine realm makes me feel that my strength has increased somewhat."

The Nine-Colored Goddess's eyes sparkled with excitement as she eagerly anticipated her future life in the new world of gods that Zhao Ling had opened.
