The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction
Above the endless void lies the Divine Realm.
The sky of the Divine Realm has no stars, no Sun Moon, only eternal light surging in from all directions.
The clouds and mist surged beneath my feet, like an endless white ocean.
This is a realm that mortals can never reach in their entire lives; it is the world inhabited by gods.
The Goddess of Life Hall, nestled in the "Forest of Life" of the Divine Realm, is serene.
The temple is formed from pure life energy; its walls are emerald green, like the finest jade, with golden veins flowing across their surface.
In the center of the hall, the Goddess of Life sat enthroned on a throne woven from vines.
She wore a light green long dress, the hem of which flowed down like water and was embroidered with intricate gold patterns.
A silver ribbon was tied around her waist, with a jade-green gemstone set in it.
Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, its color a very pale golden-green, adorned with a few small white flowers.
Her face was delicate and compassionate, and her eyes revealed a gentleness and wisdom that transcended human comprehension.
The Goddess of Life, one of the five God of Law Enforcement in the Divine Realm, is in charge of creation and the evolution of life.
But at this moment, she sensed that an aura connected to her very essence had vanished.
That aura came from the Douluo Continent, from a branch she left there countless years ago.
That's what she left behind in the Douluo Continent, waiting for someone who could pass the test of her life force.
Has someone passed the test of the very essence of my Life Ancient Tree?
She raised her right hand, her slender fingers making a light sweeping motion in the air.
A scene slowly unfolds, showing Tang San's current location: an oasis deep in the Great Wasteland Desert of the Douluo Continent.
She saw a young man sitting cross-legged beneath the Life Ancient Tree, enveloped in a blue-gold light. It was the power of the Life Ancient Tree merging with him.
The divine sense, penetrating the very essence of the Life Ancient Tree, gently swept over Tang San.
The Goddess of Life raised an eyebrow slightly.
She noticed that this young man exuded two completely different yet perfectly balanced auras.
One is a vigorous, ever-renewing Life Force. That is the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor, the king of Plant-type Martial Souls, the ultimate in vitality.
The other is a domineering, devastating force of destruction. That is the aura of the Clear Sky Hammer, the ultimate power.
Life and destruction are forces that are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, two sides of the same coin.
However, the simultaneous existence of these two forces within a single person requires extremely stringent conditions for balance.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Goddess of Life.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone who possesses the potential for both Ultimate Life Force and Ultimate Destruction Force.
The Goddess of Life smiled slightly.
She stood up, stepped down from the throne, and walked out of the palace.
Her pale green dress cast a long shadow on the ground, the hem brushing against the flowers and grass, causing the flowers and leaves to sway gently, as if in greeting.
Soon, the Goddess of Life arrived at the Destruction Temple where her husband was.
The two temples are very different in style.
The Goddess of Life Hall is emerald green, full of vitality. The Destruction Temple, on the other hand, is purple, exuding an aura of majesty and coldness.
The God of Destruction sits on his throne.
He was tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a muscular build. He wore a dark purple suit of armor covered with intricate patterns, each pattern containing destructive power.
The armor has two sharp spikes on the shoulders, like dragon horns.
The God of Destruction had a resolute and cold face, with long, deep purple hair cascading over his shoulders, and an air of imposing authority emanating from his eyes.
But at this moment, when he saw his wife arrive, a hint of tenderness appeared on his cold face.
The Goddess of Life approached the God of Destruction and extended her slender hand.
The God of Destruction naturally grasped her and pulled his wife to sit beside him.
The Goddess of Life leaned on his shoulder, her voice soft. "Little Purple, I sensed today that someone has gained the approval of the Life Ancient Tree."
The God of Destruction's brow twitched slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his dark purple eyes.
"Oh? Someone's life force can actually pass your test of origin?"
The voice of the God of Destruction carried a hint of interest.
The Goddess of Life nodded, and with a flick of her hand, Tang San's image reappeared before the two of them.
In the scene, Tang San stands in the center of the oasis, with seven Soul Rings slowly pulsating beneath him: one yellow, two purple, one black, and three red.
The God of Destruction's pupils contracted slightly.
This young man, at only eighteen years old, already possesses such terrifying strength.
"Twin Martial Souls: Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer. Life and Destruction."
The sound of destruction carried a hint of admiration, and a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
The domineering nature of the Clear Sky Hammer is a manifestation of destructive power, which coincides with his position as a god of destruction.
The Goddess of Life nodded, turned the image back, and looked at her husband with her emerald green eyes.
Her voice held a hint of expectation and uncertainty. "I want him to try inheriting our divine position as well."
The God of Destruction raised an eyebrow.
To inherit the divine positions of two god-kings simultaneously? This has never happened before in the history of the Divine Realm.
Each God-King's position requires passing extremely rigorous tests; being able to pass even one level of the God-King's test is a genius that only appears once every tens of thousands of years.
At the same time, the difficulty of overcoming two obstacles is not simply one plus one equals two, but rather an exponential increase.
(P. S.: Cheating is an exception!)
"The Dual Divine Test will be combined into one," the Goddess of Life continued. "Divine Examination life and destruction will be merged into a new test. Although the difficulty is much greater than a single Divine Examination, if he succeeds, it will prove that he is indeed worthy."
The God of Destruction remained silent for a moment, his eyes gleaming as he considered his wife's suggestion.
He understood his wife's thoughts.
Finding a suitable successor to the divine throne is no easy task.
It might take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years for one to appear.
The couple had long ago decided to pass on their Godhood Inheritance together.
If the power is to be passed on to two different people, then two unparalleled geniuses must exist simultaneously, and they must also possess the exact same attributes as the two deities.
The difficulty is unimaginable.
But now there is someone who might be able to simultaneously bear the Dual Godhood of life and destruction, so why not give it a try?
If life and destruction could truly be inherited by the same person, perhaps the full potential of both forces could be unleashed.
It might even give rise to a completely new and more powerful force.
The God of Destruction thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Yes. The Dual Divine Tests can be combined into one. If he can truly pass all nine tests, then he is qualified to inherit our divine positions simultaneously."
He paused, his eyes filled with anticipation. "If he truly succeeds, the Dual Godhood positions will be unified, and a Creator God will be born in the Divine Realm. In that case, our Divine Realm will be even more powerful, capable of handling future crises."
The two looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.
The Goddess of Life raised her right hand, and the God of Destruction raised his left hand; emerald green and dark purple intertwined to form a brand new, rotating golden sphere of light.
The framework for the Dual Divine Test Assessment quickly took shape with the combined efforts of the two.
The content, rules, and rewards/punishments of the assessment were all carefully designed.
This is no ordinary test; it is Divine Examination jointly created by two god-kings, far more difficult than Divine Examination conducted by a single god-king.
This is not just an assessment, but a process of forging.
Success means becoming the first deity to possess both gods and spirit. Failure means annihilation of both body and spirit.
