The Target of Everyone's Ire, a True Living Ancestor

The four God Kings glared at the God of Evil, itching to give him a sound thrashing.

Even the Godess of Kindness, whose temper was widely known to be excellent, now wanted to crack open the God of Evil's skull and see what the hell was inside.

At a time like this, couldn't he tell who held the higher card?

If that brat really played tug-of-war with a ceiling beam using his neck, they could start arranging a mass funeral for the Divine Realm!

What frightened them most was that Chu Xuan could observe each of them through the Sky Screen.

That was the truly terrifying part.

In front of Chu Xuan, it was as if they had no secrets at all.

He could see them with perfect clarity. It was humiliating!

And yet they had no way to resist.

The God of Destruction had secretly tried to use his divine power to see whether he could pull Chu Xuan out of the Sky Screen.

Or sever that so-called binding.

But no matter what he did, his divine power couldn't reach into the Sky Screen.

That profoundly mysterious binding couldn't be severed at all, much less grasped.

He could only sense, in some mysterious way, that such a special connection did indeed exist.

Under their furious glares, the God of Evil suddenly felt rather aggrieved.

"I-I didn't know he could see."

"That brat's far too extreme. All I did was glare at him."

The God of Destruction gave a cold, mocking laugh. "You didn't know? Did a pig eat your brain?"

"What did you say? Looking for a fight?"

"Bring it on. Whoever doesn't dare throw a punch is the other's grandson."

The Asura God clenched his fists. Getting slapped had already left him thoroughly frustrated.

Then his hair had been yanked, shattering over a million years of imposing dignity all over the floor.

And now these bastards were still bickering. Couldn't they show a little composure?

"Enough, all of you!"

After all, he was the fiercest fighter among the God Kings, so his words carried weight.

The war of words between the God of Evil and the God of Destruction stopped, though neither was willing to concede to the other.

"Chu Xuan, what exactly do you want?"

The Asura God looked up at the screen. Chu Xuan's attitude was what mattered most now.

They needed to see what he wanted them to do, or what benefits he wanted from them.

Chu Xuan smiled until his eyes nearly narrowed to slits. The Asura God knew how to play along.

As for what he wanted?

Naturally, he would let the gods figure that out themselves.

Though the Divine Realm had rules, these gods naturally had ways to send things to Douluo Star.

Especially when their own safety was at stake, he believed they would spare no effort.

"Take your time and think about how to help me develop properly and stay alive on Douluo Star."

"Now that everyone believes me, the rest is up to you."

With that, Chu Xuan exited the Sky Screen Communication.

After he left, the golden screen above the Divine Realm dissipated as well.

The gods looked at one another.

He wasn't going to say what he wanted?

What exactly was this guy getting at?

The Asura God sighed deeply. "Let's hear what each of you thinks."

The Godess of Kindness ground her teeth in anger.

"That brat's too cunning. It looks like he wants nothing, but in truth he wants everything."

"That's right!"

"As for this so-called binding, it appears to be real."

"I believe everyone has sensed that strange feeling. His life and death are now tied to the entire Divine Realm!"

The Asura God stopped there and looked at the four God Kings, who were lost in thought.

Seeing that none of them spoke, he continued, "What we need to ensure now is that Chu Xuan stays alive."

"We don't have much time left!"

Hearing this, the God of Life raised her head and said, "That's true. Chu Xuan is on Douluo Star. Even if nothing unexpected happens, his lifespan is only about a hundred years."

"And a hundred years on Douluo Star is only a hundred days in the Divine Realm."

At those words, the God of Evil shuddered violently.

A hundred days?

So the Divine Realm could hold a mass funeral in a hundred days?

A hundred years on Douluo Star would pass for them in the snap of a finger.

"Goddess of Life, can you directly increase his lifespan?"

"Yes, yes, his lifespan! Increase his lifespan first!"

The Goddess of Life nodded. "My blessing can indeed increase his lifespan, but for now, it would only be to around a thousand years."

"A thousand years on Douluo Star is less than three years for us."

"So the key is to give him a much longer lifespan, and the way to do that is for him to become a god!"

The other four God Kings agreed with her.

Only by becoming a god could he ascend here and gain a much longer lifespan.

"Even so, don't forget that he could encounter a deadly threat on Douluo Star."

"If I remember correctly, the strongest faction on Douluo Star is the Spirit Hall? Then let the Spirit Hall give him the protection he needs while we find a way to increase his strength."

"Besides that, we need to think about how to undo the binding!"

"Finding a way to undo it while he's growing stronger is the key."

"We can't leave the future of the Divine Realm in his hands alone!"

The God Kings reached an agreement.

Chu Xuan truly was their living ancestor now.

Never had they imagined that they, dignified God Kings, would one day have their lives placed in a mortal's hands.

Yet they currently had no way to resist.

"Have the Angel God come here, and have the Goddess of Life prepare the Life Blessing."

"Everyone else... think about what you can give him."

The Asura God made the final decision.

Lifespan and cultivation—they would tackle both at once.

Only then could they buy themselves more time to find a way to undo the binding.

Once the binding was undone, they would make sure that damned mortal learned that gods were not to be insulted!

In Spirit City, after Chu Xuan exited the Sky Screen Communication, he waited to see what the gods would do.

By now, the Divine Realm had been thrown into utter chaos, with chickens flying and dogs leaping.

Those lofty gods had fallen into a panic.

They would worry about his safety on Douluo Star.

Death aside, even an injury would give them more than they could handle.

If he bled, they would bleed too.

It was real damage that ignored rank and divine status.

That was the truly terrifying part.

No matter how strong their divine bodies were, they would suffer equally severe injuries.

The shared-damage effect was downright satisfying.

"If I remember correctly, the God Realm Committee has a misty round table and a screen that can observe the planets of the lower realms, used to monitor the situation on the Douluo Continent. They can also intervene remotely through divine trials and other means."

"Those guys will probably keep an eye on me, but it doesn't matter. On the contrary, it's a good thing."

Chu Xuan had thought it through carefully.

The Sky Screen Communication could let his consciousness enter the Divine Realm directly and communicate with them.

But what about everyday communication?

If he needed something, how could he get word to the Divine Realm in time?

For now, he had no means to do that, so the Divine Realm's surveillance of the Douluo Continent had instead become a convenience.

As long as the God Realm Committee kept an eye on him, he could simply write down what he needed, and they would naturally see it.

Surveillance?

No, it was merely a means of satisfying his needs!

Right now, the ones who wanted him to stay alive most were the gods of the Divine Realm.

As he was thinking this, a beam of divine light filled with a holy presence suddenly descended from the sky at the highest point in Spirit City, enveloping the entire Worship Hall.

At the same time, boundless divine light spread across the whole of Spirit City.

Countless golden feathers of light drifted down from the sky, dazzlingly beautiful.

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. The Divine Realm had moved pretty quickly.
