People are writing diaries in Douluo, Bibi Dong is crazy about it

**Chapter 264: Ten Years Passed in a Flash**

Liu Erlong couldn't understand why her husband insisted on making her the dean of Lan Ba Academy.

At home, she had the perfect life—spending her days playing mahjong, poker, and chess with her sisters. Why should she give that up?

Yet Zhao Ling handed her 5 million gold soul coins, instructing her to transform Lan Ba Academy into an elite institution.

He even insisted on recruiting not only capable but also beautiful female teachers from across the continent, sparing no expense.

To ensure none of his wives wasted their days in idleness, Zhao Ling reassigned them to senior management roles at the academy. Positions like vice president, executive vice president, and department directors were filled by his wives.

This sudden change puzzled the women, who had grown accustomed to a life of leisure.

However, Zhao Ling's persuasive arguments made them see his point.

"Husbands with good intentions don't let their wives become lazy and aimless," he reasoned. "By giving you meaningful roles, I'm ensuring you all stay ambitious and fulfilled."

His logic resonated with them, and soon, they all agreed to take on their new responsibilities at Lan Ba Academy.

Even Tang Yuehua, whose soul power was the weakest, experienced significant growth. Over the past three years, she progressed from level 17 to level 35, thanks to the Eight Immortals Pill Zhao Ling had given her.

While she lacked the ability to teach combat techniques, Zhao Ling established a Yuexuan branch within the academy for her. Here, she could instruct female students in aristocratic etiquette, an area in which she excelled.

To maintain exclusivity, the Yuexuan branch admitted no more than 100 students annually, making it one of the academy's most prestigious programs. Tang Yuehua was delighted by this development, as it aligned perfectly with her personal aspirations.

Under Zhao Ling's leadership, Lan Ba Academy underwent a complete transformation. Originally derived from Tianshui Academy and associated with the four other elemental academies, it quickly rose to prominence, surpassing its counterparts.

Time passed swiftly, and before anyone realized it, ten years had flown by.

During this time, Zhao Ling's cultivation reached unparalleled heights.

All nine soul rings of his second martial soul transformed into orange-gold, while his first martial soul saw its last four rings turn to glazed gold, with the others becoming deep red—a mark of 100,000 years.

Despite his advancements, Zhao Ling hesitated to pursue a divine inheritance. With his High-Level Wild Combat Body, he believed his combat power already rivaled that of the God Kings.

Rather than inheriting a divine position, he considered creating his own godhood, paving a unique path.

During his training, Zhao Ling noticed an unexpected phenomenon: his two martial souls showed signs of merging.

While intrigued, he was cautious. No precedent existed for such a fusion, and he worried about the potential risks.

What if the fusion backfires and renders him powerless? he thought.

For a time, Zhao Ling managed to suppress the process. But during the fifth attempt, the fusion occurred uncontrollably.

Both martial souls merged within his dantian, along with all eighteen soul rings, creating eighteen distinct small spaces.

As these spaces formed, Zhao Ling's strength soared beyond Level 99 Extreme Douluo, reaching a realm never before seen on the Douluo Continent.

The fusion triggered a massive energy surge.

The spirit stones Zhao Ling had accumulated over the years were consumed as elemental energy from the heavens poured into the eighteen spaces.

Through internal observation, Zhao Ling saw the spaces expand rapidly, growing from a few football fields to hundreds of square kilometers each.

The influx of energy also caused a rift to appear in the sky above the Douluo Mortal Realm. Elemental energy poured into both the mortal and divine realms, enhancing their vitality.

As Zhao Ling's dantian spaces stabilized, the rift healed, leaving the Douluo Mortal Realm's elemental energy three times denser than before. The Douluo God Realm also expanded tenfold, with its elemental energy density increasing fivefold.

Despite these dramatic changes, Zhao Ling's new realm rendered him undetectable. His soul power had fully transformed, internalized within the spaces of his dantian, leaving him indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

However, Zhao Ling discovered he could easily sense the location of the Douluo God Realm and tear through space to reach it.

Having transcended the Douluo cultivation system, he felt liberated from the world's rules.

When Zhao Ling asked the system to define his current realm, its response was both cryptic and encouraging:

"You've embarked on a path never before taken. While it's impossible to categorize your realm, it is certain that your path surpasses the confines of the Douluo God Realm.

The fusion of the Netherworld Demon-Suppressing Tower and the Grim Reaper's Scythe was not a mistake—it has set the stage for a glorious future."
