Stability.
It was a strange word for godsâespecially for those who had lived through collapse, war, and rebirth. Yet as I stood at the heart of the Douluo Divine Realm and observed the flow of laws, energy, and authority, there was no other word more fitting.
The realm was no longer fragile.
No longer dependent.
No longer afraid of drifting into nothingness.
It had reached a point where it could exist on its own.
And that meant one thing.
It was time to let go.
From the moment the Divine Realm had nearly collapsed, the World Tree rooted in Douluo Dalu had served as its anchorâa lifeline thrown across dimensions to prevent heaven from being swallowed by the void.
At the time, it had been necessary.
Essential.
Without it, the Divine Realm would have torn itself apart, its fractured space drifting endlessly through the outer void until even gods would have been reduced to nothing more than scattered laws.
But that time had passed.
Nowâ
The Divine Realm Core pulsed steadily at the center of heaven, its rhythm strong, self-sustaining, and precise. The six God Kings formed a complete authority framework. The laws were stable. Space and time were unified. Immortal energy circulated naturally without external supplementation.
The realm no longer needed to cling to a lower world.
And if it continued to do soâŠ
It would never truly become a higher plane.
I exhaled slowly.
"Dependency," I murmured, "is a form of weaknessâeven when born of necessity."
Before acting, I convened the God King Council.
Not to ask permission.
But to ensure consensus.
Kindness listened quietly, her expression thoughtful.
Evil leaned back against his throne, eyes half-lidded but sharp.
Asura crossed his arms, already sensing where this was going.
Life and Destruction sat side by sideâcalm, balanced, and fully present.
"The Divine Realm no longer requires an anchor," I said evenly.
"It can sustain itself in the void."
I paused.
"I intend to disconnect the World Tree."
No one spoke immediately.
Then Sheng MingâGod King of Lifeâclosed her eyes and extended her perception outward.
"âŠThe realm is stable," she confirmed. "Completely."
Hui Mie nodded. "Even if the void presses against it, the laws will hold."
Asura smirked faintly. "About time."
Kindness smiled softly. "The child has grown. It's natural to let go."
Evil gave a short nod. "Prolonging dependency would only weaken it."
No objections.
No hesitation.
The decision was unanimous.
I moved alone to the absolute center of the Divine Realm.
Here, space folded inward, layered infinitely around the Divine Realm Core. This was the point where every law intersected, where authority was born, and where heaven itself listened.
The World Tree's presence was unmistakable.
Even now, faint threads of emerald-gold energy extended outwardâpiercing dimensions, anchoring into the soil of Douluo Dalu far below. Through it flowed subtle stabilizing forces, a gentle pull that had kept the Divine Realm from drifting.
It had done its job.
More than thatâit had exceeded expectations.
And now, it deserved rest.
I extended my divine sense outwardânot forcefully, not commandinglyâbut gently.
Like speaking to an old friend.
My consciousness descended.
Down through layers of space.
Down through dimensional barriers.
Down until I felt rootsânot physical, but conceptualâspreading across an entire world.
The World Tree greeted me with warmth.
Not words.
Not thoughts.
But a feeling of recognition.
You are safe now, it conveyed.
I smiled.
"Yes," I replied silently. "And because of you."
I reached deeper, touching its coreânot to control, but to communicate.
"The Divine Realm no longer needs your anchor," I told it.
"You may withdraw."
There was a pause.
Not resistance.
Reflection.
Thenâ
Acceptance.
The World Tree began to move.
Not violently.
Not abruptly.
But carefully.
The immense conceptual roots that stretched upward through dimensions began to rewind, retracting from the Divine Realm layer by layer. Each withdrawal was accompanied by subtle tremorsânot of instability, but of release.
Across the Divine Realm, gods felt it.
A gentle loosening.
Like the easing of a long-held breath.
Immortal energy fluctuated briefly, then stabilizedâstronger, denser, more cohesive than before.
The Divine Realm Core responded instantly, adjusting spatial parameters, compensating for the loss of the anchor without delay.
No cracks formed.
No distortions appeared.
The realm did not panic.
It adapted.
The final thread snappedânot with sound, but with a sensation of completion.
The World Tree was fully withdrawn.
Below, in Douluo Dalu, its presence deepenedâits roots settling fully into the planet, no longer divided between two realms.
Aboveâ
The Divine Realm floated freely.
Suspended in the void.
Unbound.
I expanded my divine perception fully for the first time since the reconnection.
The result made my heart still.
The Divine Realm was no longer drifting.
No longer tethered.
It existed as a self-contained higher plane, its own gravity of laws bending the void around it.
Thisâ
This was what a Divine Plane truly was.
Across the Divine Realm, gods paused in their work.
Some looked upward.
Others inward.
All of them felt the same thing.
Freedom.
A subtle but unmistakable shiftâlike the difference between standing on borrowed ground and standing on one's own feet.
Cheers did not erupt.
This moment was too profound for noise.
Instead, a quiet reverence spread.
The kind reserved for witnessing history.
Before withdrawing my divine sense, I glanced once more at Douluo Dalu.
The World Tree stood tall at the heart of the City of Beginning, its canopy brushing the sky, its presence stabilizing the planet's laws, nurturing life, and subtly guiding evolution.
Douluo Dalu was no longer just a lower world.
It was a foundation world.
A cradle.
One day, it would send countless gods upwardânot through luck or borrowed power, but through understanding, effort, and time.
That future had been secured.
I returned fully to the Divine Realm, standing once more at its center.
The Divine Realm Core pulsedâsteady, powerful, and independent.
I spoke softly, though no one else needed to hear it.
"From this moment onwardâŠ"
"The Douluo Divine Realm stands as a true Divine Plane."
No longer a remnant of dragon rule.
No longer a wounded survivor.
But a higher plane forged by hardship, balance, and will.
A heaven that had fallenâ
And learned how to rise again.
As the void pressed gently against its boundaries and failed to move it even an inch, I allowed myself a rare moment of quiet satisfaction.
The heavens could now walk on their own.
And whatever storms awaited in the futureâ
They would face them standing tall.
