"I understand. Thank you for the warning…" Su Wen pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
However, he was not overly worried.
If the power of the Universal Laws were truly that strong, it could have simply killed the Dragon God directly. There would have been no need for such roundabout methods. Which meant that those laws could not directly kill the Dragon God at his peak.
That said… he did need to remain cautious.
"Watching the glorious Dragon-God Domain decline to its current state, we survivors of that era who were lucky enough to live through it also bear some responsibility. I hope that in the future, you can shoulder the burden of this star domain." The Goddess of Life spoke softly.
…
"My Sea God position!" Wang Dong'er said blankly.
Su Wen: "…"
He had actually forgotten about that.
Come to think of it… there were still quite a few old acquaintances of his in the God Realm—like the Angel God, the Rakshasa God, and so on. Fortunately, their divine positions mostly did not overlap with those of his contracted beasts. Su Wen simply waved his hand and incorporated them into the Divine Court.
Although they could not reach the Star Domain–level God King realm like his other contracted beasts, they could at least compare to the former God Realm's God Kings.
"As for you… you want to be the God of Forging?" Su Wen rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
"You're the Lord of the Divine Court. With such a vast domain, you can't canonize a God of Forging?" Wang Dong'er huffed, folding her arms before her chest and turning her head away in obvious annoyance.
Su Wen let out a soft sigh.
He looked at the woman before him—a goddess-like beauty in a long, pale-blue flowing-sand dress, a hint of divine aura on her exquisite face. Yet at this moment, such a noble goddess was pouting, her back turned toward Su Wen in a little sulk.
"Ai…"
Su Wen gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.
"What are you doing!" Wang Dong'er's eyes flashed with shame and anger. She glared viciously at Su Wen with her rosy eyes. "Don't tell me you plan to keep practicing Martial Soul Fusion Skills?"
Su Wen: "…"
"…I mean, that's not impossible either."
With a casual wave of his hand, the entire space was completely sealed.
"Y-you, what are you trying to do…" Wang Dong'er's face flushed red. Though she protested, her hand, however, clung tightly to Su Wen's, unwilling to let go.
"Let's practice our Martial Soul Fusion Skill together—relive the feeling of our old dorm days." Su Wen waved his hand again, and the surrounding scene changed rapidly. Outside, it was a starry night sky, while inside, the two of them were nestled together under the familiar quilt of their old dormitory.
"Y-you…" Wang Dong'er's pink-blue eyes trembled violently, her big eyes staring at Su Wen in astonishment, her red lips lightly parted.
"You really know how to play."
"My God of Forging—don't forget, this lady just loves hammering metal. By the way, whenever we reforge that Haotian Hammer Martial Soul for him, let's go with that 'Signal Axe' you talked about before. Sounds nice enough."
In the dorm room, the man and woman gradually entered "training" mode.
Lights of many different colors of soul power rose and fell.
The bed also began to creak rhythmically.
"…"
No one knew how much time had passed.
Su Wen looked at the beauty in his arms, completely limp like a puddle of mud. The corners of his mouth curved upward as he gently kissed her fair forehead. "Still too weak…"
"With that body of yours, what woman in this world could bear your 'whipping'?" Wang Dong'er's eyelids were fighting to stay open, yet she still managed to grumble a few words, giving Su Wen a sidelong glance before she fell into a deep sleep.
Never mind ordinary women—even a goddess like her could hardly endure it.
"Signal Axe, huh…" Su Wen chuckled and shook his head.
In the coming battle with Tang San, it might actually come in handy.
As for the God of Forging—while it was just a title, she truly did have talent in this area. It wasn't just brute strength; it was genuine passion.
After becoming the Sea God, she'd tinkered with various forging and smithing projects within her residence. When Su Wen passed on the knowledge of forging and mecha fabrication from ten thousand years in the future to her, she had thrown herself into studying it with exceptional focus…
…
The Divine Court.
Su Wen placed it within a separate space.
This was not like the old God Realm, exposed to the outside. Instead, it was hidden inside a dimension he personally created, with the cores of many spirit balls as its foundation.
At the peak of the clouds and mist, in a simple, ancient little hut…
Su Wen stroked his chin.
He placed the white stone in his hand onto the board and shook his head with a smile. "Teacher, still no good…"
"Hahahahaha…"
Across from him sat a middle-aged version of Electrolux, draped in a black robe, laughing heartily.
"The older the ginger, the spicier it is."
"You losing to me is nothing to be ashamed of, boy."
"How's the other timeline? Have those guys rushed out of the black hole yet?" Electrolux waved his hand, turning the chessboard into a swirl of gray mist that dispersed, then looked at Su Wen.
At present, he needed to fuse three timelines.
The first timeline was no problem. The Asura God had long been easily crushed by the Divine Court established in the second and third timelines. After that, ten thousand years in the past, there was no longer any God Realm. The second timeline went without saying—Tang San's Asura God had been abolished, and the entire God Realm had vanished. Only the third remained.
He couldn't interfere within that black hole where these people resided. At the very least, he had to wait until they'd emerged and been fully annihilated. Only after that would the fusion of the three timelines be truly secure and less prone to unexpected accidents.
Furthermore, the first and second timelines had already been completely turned upside down by him and entangled together. Only the third still stood alone, the original timeline. If he wanted the Divine Court to be stable, he couldn't ignore events ten thousand years in the future.
"It should be soon…" Su Wen looked out over the clouds, standing at the edge of a cliff, and spoke slowly.
"He deliberately leaked his own whereabouts. As long as Tang San isn't an idiot, it should be any moment now."
In the original story, the reason their return was so slow was twofold. First, the coordinates were extremely difficult to pinpoint. Second, Xiao Wu had been severely injured and was on the verge of death, so Tang San had wanted to let her live a bit longer, thus delaying the return of the Divine Circle and only arriving in time to rescue his grandson in a critical moment.
But now…
Tang San's desire to return might be more urgent than anyone's.
That guy wanted to tear him to pieces. Even though he'd exaggerated the facts, the actual outcomes of Ah Yin and Tang Hao hadn't been much better than what he implied.
If that guy came out and saw the current state of Douluo Star, he'd probably explode with rage.
"Om…"
Su Wen's eyes suddenly flickered in surprise.
He turned his gaze to Douluo Star in the third timeline.
With a wave of his hand, a light curtain appeared before his eyes.
A brilliant golden pillar of light pierced the sky, filled with draconic majesty, turning into a golden dragon phantom that circled above the heavens.
"Hahaha…" Su Wen laughed.
He hadn't expected this—before Tang San had even arrived, Tang Wulin had actually become the Golden Dragon King first.
At that moment, Tang Hao's figure appeared in that world as well. His face was haggard yet resolute, his gaze searching constantly for Su Wen's silhouette.
"Tell that bastard to come out!"
"I'm going to smash him to death!" With his son as his backing, Tang Hao's tone was full of fury and ferocity.
Over these years, Tang Wulin had been his only hope. And not long ago, he had also contacted Tang San, who was trapped within the black hole.
They had formed the Divine Circle and, because that beast (Su Wen) had pre-emptively exposed their coordinates, the Divine Circle was already about to break out of the black hole and was on its way.
At this moment, Tang Hao's aura reached its zenith. He wanted to wash away the shame of the past!
