Divine Realm.
Tang San silently treated his injuries in his room. Since today, perhaps due to the approaching ominous premonition, his mood also became somewhat restless.
After all, his foundation in the Divine Realm was still too shallow. In just a few decades, although he had been in charge of the Divine Realm, the Divine Realm had always been at peace, and every deity was very independent. It was difficult to order them unless they were willing to submit sincerely.
Once a war broke out, he couldn't even take any measures to prepare.
As for how to withstand that unknown strife, he could only rely on those in the Divine Realm who stood on his side.
"Hope the faction of the God of Destruction can keep their place." Tang San prayed secretly in his heart. At least, wait until his son-in-law ascended. By then, his daughter and son-in-law would be able to help him a bit.
In the past day or two, although the Divine Realm was calm, the God of Destruction seemed to restrain himself a lot. He rarely spoke at every meeting, nor did he raise any doubts or provocations.
However, Tang San naturally wouldn't think that this big shot of the Divine Realm would calm down like this. His calmness might just be waiting for something. If he was really allowed to expand the Divine Realm, then his own prestige in the Divine Realm would undoubtedly plummet.
Now Tang San actually knew very clearly what he was doing, and he also understood that once the God of Destruction's proposal was passed and succeeded, then he would probably have to step down from the power of ruling the Divine Realm.
However, his own ability had not yet reached the level of a true Supreme God King. Even if he and Xiao Wu planned to go out and travel, they didn't have the strength of the two God Kings of Kindness and Evil. Every deity who wanted to roam the universe needed the ability to constantly resist the exclusion of the cosmic will.
So, he needed the Divine Realm as a home and shelter, and turn this place into his own domain where only his voice mattered. Even if he really got tired in the future and laid down everything, there would be a successor standing behind him to rule the Divine Realm for him.
The God of Kindness and the God of Evil were not in the Divine Realm Committee during this period. Some problems that were not yet particularly big appeared in the plane they once belonged to. These two God Kings were relatively close to the Asura God and belonged to his side. Therefore, he, Tang San, could quickly establish a foothold in the Divine Realm.
Originally, according to the rules of the Divine Realm, one couldn't intervene in human affairs.
However, just like those two former God Kings had unparalleled merits to the Divine Realm after all, when the plane they once belonged to encountered trouble, help should be given where needed. Of course, also within a certain scope.
As for himself, precisely because of the urgent need to have a faction completely loyal to him to contend with the dissatisfied faction of the God of Destruction, he constantly intervened in the Douluo Continent, trying to cultivate a supporter whose strength was not inferior to his own.
On that plane where he rose, there were still too many mysteries, such as the Silver Dragon King, the other half of the Dragon God, and the place where the God of Love fell, etc., all needing people cultivated by him to explore.
Moreover, the reason why his divine power could progress rapidly in these years was inseparable from the illustrious reputation he established on the Douluo Continent.
Ten thousand years passed. Mortals on the continent gradually forgot the two deities who once stood opposite him, but only remembered him. This allowed Tang San to always receive the power of faith from his home planet.
The reason why gods were invincible, besides cultivation, more importantly, the majesty and mystery of gods were all added to deities by the power of faith born from mortals' longing and admiration. Otherwise, the so-called deities were just a level above the limit of the cultivation system of each plane.
Soon, his daughter and that prospective son-in-law were about to reproduce his style back then. Both of them were not far from the Titled Douluo realm, the limit of this plane.
Thinking of his daughter and prospective son-in-law, a trace of helplessness appeared on Tang San's face. Since his daughter identified this prospective son-in-law, unknown how much more leaky she became than before, no longer like the once caring little padded jacket. But one day she would still return to the Divine Realm. It wouldn't be too late to educate her then.
Mmhmm, wait until they finish the competition, give them some assistance. The old poison's place is quite good. It's also time to test the prospective son-in-law's feelings for his daughter.
"Tang San!" Just as Tang San was making various calculations in his heart, suddenly, a low voice sounded.
Tang San was stunned. This voice was very familiar, it was the God of Destruction.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Tang San's divine thought suddenly spread outward, and his face changed accordingly—just outside the Divine Realm Committee, a dense purple-black cloud cluster was hovering there with a purple electric light flashing. Terrifying destruction intent was condensing under that cloud cluster.
The strength of the God of Destruction was extraordinary. The current Tang San, even with the combination of two gods and Xiao Wu's help, was not the opponent of the God of Destruction.
However, displaying one's own ability outside the Divine Realm Committee was a big taboo, which could be used to make an issue and threaten...
With a flash of blue light, Tang San had gone out of the Divine Realm Committee, suspended in mid-air, facing that huge tribulation cloud in the sky from a distance.
"God of Destruction, you finally couldn't hold back? Are you really so attached to the power of the Divine Realm?" Tang San reprimanded unceremoniously, "Aren't you afraid of being attacked by a group of deities together?"
The cold voice of the God of Destruction sounded from that purple-black cloud cluster, "Your people have been taken down by me. Hand over the Divine Realm Center."
"Mmh?" Tang San's pupils contracted violently. The thing he worried about most happened after all. As soon as the God of Destruction said this, the intention of rebellion was already revealed clearly.
"Do you really want to launch a rebellion?" Behind Tang San, circles of blue halos bloomed rapidly. In a blink of an eye, they had turned into a light wheel of seven layers of light rings. It was exactly the Sea God position. A Golden Trident also appeared in his grasp.
Although this was only a First-Class Deity position, because of the combination of two gods, plus he had been cultivating in the place with the richest divine power in the Divine Realm Committee, his cultivation was also extremely powerful. What's more, he could switch to the more powerful Asura God at any time.
The God of Destruction said coldly: "If the Divine Realm continues to be ruled by you, I'm afraid there will really be great chaos. I'm not launching a rebellion, but setting things right. I will soon let the entire Divine Realm know under whose management the Divine Realm is most suitable for development."
Tang San took a deep breath and said: "God of Destruction, I can understand your feelings for the benefit of the Divine Realm. I hope for the development of the Divine Realm just like you. Only, currently, several other God Kings are not in the Divine Realm. The change of power is probably inappropriate. If you leave now, I will treat today's matter as if it never happened. You are still the supreme Divine Realm Law Enforcer, how about that?"
"Hahahaha!" The God of Destruction laughed loudly, "Put away your little thoughts. You want to wait for the return of Kindness, Evil, and that guy Asura, isn't it just to keep the situation under your control? Your own foundation is insufficient, relying entirely on the promotion of Asura who is bent on laziness, and the backing of those two guys Kindness and Evil, to have today's lofty status, and take this opportunity to develop your own clique!"
"The expansion of the Divine Realm that I have always insisted on, the deities following me will create more god positions. At that time, the number of humans becoming gods in the lower realm will increase, and deities centered on me will increase, which will inevitably shake your rule. Do I still not understand this little thought of yours?"
Tang San said displeasedly: "You are gauging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Let alone I am not afraid of this situation happening at all, even if it happens, so what?"
"Destruction, do you think I really cling to this position of power?"
"Isn't it so?" The God of Destruction immediately retorted sarcastically.
"Your power is destruction. What you can rule will only be negative deities like Evil Gods and Original Sin Deities. And in the Divine Realm, the number of negative deities can never exceed half of the positive deities. Don't you know clearly? How can you rule the Divine Realm?" Tang San said righteously: "Since ancient times, evil cannot prevail over good. Whether in the Divine Realm or the mortal world, a balance of positive and negative is needed. Even if I don't say this, you should know clearly."
"Back then, before the two God Kings descended to the lower realm, they handed the Divine Realm to me instead of you because of the problem with your god position itself. Not because your strength was insufficient. You don't have any selfishness, neither do I. If one day, I really give up this position of Divine Realm ruler, then it will also be given to the Goddess of Life, not you. God of Destruction, I ask you, you came today, does the Goddess of Life know?"
The God of Destruction seemed silent for a moment. The words Goddess of Life seemed to have a considerable influence on him.
"Tang San, I also didn't expect your face to be thick to this extent." At this time, a graceful figure walked out from behind the God of Destruction.
Seeing this beautiful figure, Tang San's heart shook slightly. The comer was surprisingly the Goddess of Life.
—
Die Qiu's eyes shone fiercely. Holding her Gungnir with both hands, her body shook slightly. Golden Dragon light and shadow rose around her delicate body. Tapping her toes on the ground, she actually rushed up to meet Die Qiu. Gungnir in her hand seemed to have turned into a golden giant dragon, biting towards that huge hammer.
"Boom—"
In an instant, the world changed color.
All the dust on the competition stage collapsed outward at this moment, revealing the vacuum zone in the center.
Tang Wutong's delicate body was bounced into the higher sky, while Die Qiu smashed onto the ground like a falling cannonball, one in the sky and one on the ground.
Die Qiu was somewhat dusty-faced, but her eyes were still bright. While at the corner of Tang Wutong's mouth bounced into the high sky, a trace of blood had appeared.
In the waiting area, Huo Yuhao suddenly released all his spiritual power with his right hand. His body raised slightly. In his eyes, divine light shone brightly.
Now, he wanted to completely shield the perception of the Divine Realm. Tang Wutong was Tang San's own daughter. Once the divine thought connection was broken here, he would definitely notice.
At this moment, Tang Wutong was ready to swing the next hammer, and Die Qiu also started to get serious.
Gungnir in Die Qiu's hand, also known as the Spear of Destiny in Huo Yuhao's previous life, was the sharpest and hardest branch dropped by the metabolism of the top of the World Tree in the Dragon Realm. Only in the hands of Die Qiu, who was tied to the fate of Star Dou, could it exert the power of causality, that is, the Cursed Spear that must pierce the opponent's heart when thrown.
Actually, it was a phenomenon of reversing causality based on the result of the spear piercing the heart causing the reason of the spear being thrown from the hand. Because before throwing the spear, the spear had actually hit the heart, so under the circumstance that the result was already destined, no matter what method was used, it couldn't be defended or avoided.
Die Qiu didn't use this ability in previous battles. After all, mobilizing a large amount of power of fate also placed a considerable burden on her body.
Now, she was going to use this ability.
What only Huo Yuhao could see in the whole venue was that countless luck gathered from all directions, all injected into Die Qiu holding Gungnir. That Gungnir wrapped in Golden Dragon golden qi and blood also changed color suddenly at this time. It was bright red like blood.
Under the cover of the Simulation soul skill, her eighth and ninth soul rings lit up accordingly.
Eighth Soul Skill: Golden Dragon Prison Suppression Kill!
Ninth Soul Skill: Eternal Throw!
Just like the Natural Ring soul skill, Paradise Lost of Judgment, released by Huo Yuhao back then, at this instant, the entire competition venue fell into a second of black and white.
Tang Wutong wielding the Clear Sky Hammer only felt herself in a golden-red world. That destruction-like shattering power made all hair on her body stand on end.
At this time, she dared not hold back at all anymore. She activated the Martial Soul Avatar immediately, and the eighth soul ring also lit up immediately.
All the audience only saw that Tang Wutong's delicate body seemed to transform into a purple-gold giant dragon, and the shape of the dragon wings was purple-gold Dragon God Butterfly wings. At the opened mouth of the giant dragon, a purple-gold sun could be seen rising to the sky.
In the next second, all the audience saw a red line with complex patterns directly connecting Gungnir to Tang Wutong's heart area.
Die Qiu's beautiful eyes widened abruptly. Her entire body leaned back almost ninety degrees. The blood-colored light wrapped around her body condensed into substance, shattering all the surrounding ground.
As the referee, Unbroken Douluo had never seen such a horrifying scene. He even doubted that he was powerless to stop all this, because at this moment, he wasn't confident in taking the attack of either of the two girls.
The purple-gold sun instantly turned into a huge purple-gold light column, bombarding straight towards Die Qiu. And Die Qiu also flung her body forward fiercely at this time, like a full moon bow shooting a destined arrow.
Everyone held their breath, watching helplessly this strongest collision in the history of the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition.
"Dragon Dance Shining Sun—"
"Eternal Throw—"
The two girls shouted almost simultaneously, pouring all their soul power into this blow.
"I won't lose. I am a Soul Douluo!" Tang Wutong shouted in her heart. The veil she wore had long disappeared, revealing her good-looking face appearing somewhat ferocious at this moment.
However, perhaps due to excessive consumption of soul power, causing the Simulation soul skill to fail at a certain moment, Tang Wutong saw a scene unbelievable to her.
Nine soul rings of different colors rhythmically moved orderly under Die Qiu's feet—
"Titled Douluo?" Tang Wutong's beautiful eyes widened abruptly.
At this time, Gungnir thrown by Die Qiu plunged headlong into the purple-gold light column of Dragon Dance Shining Sun.
