Tang Wulin was rooted to the spot upon hearing this. These ideas existed on a completely different level; to think that while he was still considering how he was going to revive Shrek Academy, the Light Dark Douluo was already pondering inter-planar issues.

Long Yeyue continued, ”The disappearance of the Divine Realm has had a huge impact on the direction that our Douluo Star plane is evolving toward, which is what led to these decisions being made by the ruler of the plane. However, from the current situation, we can see that those decisions have very likely gone awry in that the human race has developed far faster than antic.i.p.ated. The rapid advancements in soul technology have severely impacted the life force of the entire planet, resulting in a shortage of resources on the whole planet, particularly on the Douluo Continent.

”Under these circ.u.mstances, the resources on the Douluo Continent are completely incomparable to what was available in the past. There's even a possibility that our resources could be completely exhausted in the future. Soul beasts could go into extinction, the ecosystem could face severe issues, and when all intelligent life forms are destroyed, then the Douluo Plane will also perish. Hence, the ruler of the plane made some adjustments. We don't know what these specific adjustments are, but it's very likely that they've fallen upon your generation.

”s.p.a.ce exploration has become inevitable, and at the same time, the ruler of the plane is most likely looking to control the ecosystem or plunder more life force energy for itself. The Sea G.o.d's Pavilion Master of our Shrek Academy from around 15 generations ago made the bold hypothesis that it's very likely that the ruler of our plane had connected the abyssal plane to our Douluo Continent. In doing so, an opportunity has been created for our plane to plunder the planar energy of the abyssal plane as replenishment.”

This was a ma.s.sive bombsh.e.l.l for Tang Wulin. ”What? You're the saying the abyssal plane was actively drawn here by our plane?”

Long Yeyue shook her head in response. ”That's just a hypothesis; we don't know what the exact situation is like. It's more likely that the abyssal plane sought out our plane as prey. After all, the abyssal plane seems to have a more powerful planar ruler than ours. However, from an overall planar perspective, our Douluo Continent is superior.”

Tang Wulin's mind was racing at a rapid rate as he processed Long Yeyue's words. ”So what you're saying is that the Holy Lord is more powerful than our planar ruler, but our plane is superior overall to the abyssal plane?”

Long Yeyue nodded in response. ”You can interpret it that way. From the perspective of energy division in s.p.a.ce, the abyssal plane is more powerful as it developed sentience almost as soon as it came into existence. In that respect, it's far superior to our Douluo plane. The fact that it developed sentience so quickly meant that it was able to actively devour energy from the get-go, progressively making itself more powerful until it reached this point. During this process, it's undoubtedly the case that the best way for it to develop is to exist in an energy state.

”However, the main issue with that is that through this type of development, the abyssal plane won't possess a substantial form, which takes billions of years to accrue, just like the actual planet that is our Douluo Star. Why is it that abyssal creatures can return to the abyssal plane as energy after their deaths? That's because the abyssal plane isn't a true planet in itself. The entire plane is a ma.s.sive energy ent.i.ty, and every single abyssal race is a manifestation of the will of the abyssal plane's ruler.

”The ruler of the abyssal plane split up its energy into countless segments, thereby giving rise to intelligent life forms before allowing them to develop on their own. In terms of life force, the abyssal plane is superior, but due to the fact that it has no substantial form, it's very difficult for it to continue to evolve after reaching a certain point. To put it in simpler terms, high-grade energy planes like the abyssal plane will be the easiest planes to directly evolve into Divine Realms, whereas substantial planes like our Douluo Star can only approach the Divine Realm through a variety of complex methods; that's a fundamental difference between our two planes.

”However, the substance that our Douluo plane possesses gives it advantages that the abyssal plane doesn't have. First and foremost, a substantial plane is far more stable than an energy plane. Many disasters in outer s.p.a.ce that substantial planes are completely immune to will be able to affect energy planes. Our plane is of as high a caliber as the abyssal plane, but it's far safer and more stable. The ruler of our plane isn't a tangible ent.i.ty like the Holy Lord, but its foundation is more solid.
