The God of Destruction's intent to destroy erupted completely.
If he had known, he should have looked at it himself first. Now he had actually used such a thing to defile the Goddess of Life's eyes.
Damn Sea God, damn Tang San!
How had he never noticed, back when they were in the Divine Realm, that the old bastard Sea God was so indecent, seemingly embodying every kind of lechery in the world?
Crack—
Before the sphere had even finished playing the scene, the God of Destruction crushed it to pieces.
"Heh heh, refined and elegant, gentle and gracious..." The God of Destruction clenched his fists. He had never before considered killing Tang San, but at this moment, he desperately wanted to break the rules and kill a former member of the Divine Realm Committee.
"Poseidon, just you wait!" The God of Destruction was seething, but he remembered that this was the Goddess of Life's Forest of Life. He could not destroy this place, so he forcibly suppressed his urge to wreak havoc.
"Life, I intend to place a Land of Inheritance in the Douluo Plane. You should make your preparations as well."
After glancing at the Goddess of Life, the God of Destruction left behind only those words before departing the Forest of Life.
Both he and the Goddess of Life needed to calm down now.
Star Dou Forest.
Within an amber-like glow, four consciousnesses had gathered together in a rare occurrence.
Tang San, who was merely a faint wisp of divine sense; the Plane Will of Douluo Star; the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who had developed intelligence; and Wang Dong'er, who had set all this in motion.
So... how had things turned out like this?
Although Tang San spoke fiercely, he was sweating inside.
At present, he was only a faint wisp of divine sense, unable even to contact his true body.
If there had only been the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Wang Dong'er, he would have dared to say he could control them as he pleased. Yet these two had somehow drawn over the Plane Will of Douluo Star.
He had been secretly preparing all this precisely so he could catch the Plane Will off guard, allowing his father, Tang Hao, to replace it and become Douluo Star's new master. At that point, no matter how unwilling the other gods of the Divine Realm were, they would have no choice but to accept it.
But now, he had no idea what unforeseen changes might arise, perhaps even affecting his ultimate plan.
Wang Dong'er was also somewhat surprised that the Plane Will of Douluo Star had been drawn here, but she soon came up with a new idea.
Originally, she could only choose to confront Tang San head-on. But now that the Plane Will stood in front of her, there was much more she could do.
During Tang San's growth on Douluo Continent, it was not as though he had never suffered setbacks. He had even been dealt blows severe enough to lose confidence. But ever since Becoming a God, Tang San had become unprecedentedly arrogant.
Whether it was before entering the Divine Realm, when he had cheated his way through his God Trial using the Sea God and Shura God, yet claimed that Qian Renxue had completed her God Trial by cheating with the help of her grandfather Qian Renxue, or after entering the Divine Realm, when he laid out his so-called ten-thousand-year grand plan.
Tang San would never have considered a variable like Wang Dong'er. To Tang San, who currently possessed only this wisp of divided-soul divine sense, the greatest threat before him was the Plane Will of Douluo Star.
Of the four, the consciousness of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, relatively the most guileless one, was nearly in tears.
This had clearly been nothing more than a mutually beneficial guidance. How had she really encountered bad people trying to harm her...?
So what Wang Dong'er had said was true...
The Plane Will of Douluo Star took the form of a blurry humanoid figure. Neither its build nor its face could be made out, as though it possessed only the concept of being human.
Tang San, meanwhile, had long aqua-blue hair and wore a robe of the same color.
The little beast formed from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's consciousness had already run behind Wang Dong'er. Tang San could not be bothered with it, his gaze fixed intently on the humanoid figure formed by the Plane Will.
Since he had already been discovered, there was no need for him to keep up the act.
After all, he was the law-enforcement god currently on duty in the Divine Realm. Nothing that happened on Douluo Star would be known by the other gods.
"God who has overstepped, your actions have overstepped." Obscure, indistinct syllables emerged from the blurry humanoid figure, yet everyone present understood their meaning.
However, Wang Dong'er noticed that although no features had appeared on the blurry humanoid figure, it seemed to be "looking" in her direction.
Recalling the sensation from when she had been Blessed by Luck, Wang Dong'er could determine that the Plane Will had noticed her as early as that moment.
After all, although the blessing of luck had been granted by the system, it had genuinely established a connection with Douluo Star.
Did it intend to hold Tang San back so that she and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could complete the guidance?
Wang Dong'er stroked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's large head behind her. The feeling of their souls touching was rather wondrous.
"Heh, is this your way of resisting?" Tang San sneered. "Do you really think you can stop my grand plan?"
But Tang San was, after all, only a wisp of divine sense right now, and far weaker than the one previously within Wang Dong'er. After being separated from all the methods available to his true body, all he could rely on was the power of this wisp of divine sense itself.
Wang Dong'er gathered all the Spiritual Power she could mobilize. While Tang San confronted the Plane Will, she sent it surging forth like a raging ocean tide.
Although Wang Dong'er's control over Spiritual Power was still somewhat crude, overwhelming force could overcome any technique. At this moment, the sheer magnitude of her spiritual energy was enough to eclipse refined skill. Tang San did not understand Wang Dong'er's circumstances, and he was arrogant and conceited, so he suffered a solid, silent loss.
Seizing the opportunity, the blurry humanoid figure immediately closed in.
If it could devour this wisp of Tang San's divine sense, it would benefit as well.
That was one of the reasons it had appeared here.
"Bzzzz—" In the outside world, waves of fluctuations spread from the amber-like cocoon of light, traveling a great distance in an instant and kicking up layers of airwaves.
A soul beast over five meters long with three canine heads had been about to approach the amber cocoon of light, but when the wave of fluctuations struck, it was immediately blasted away.
"What kind of power is this?" Human-like shock appeared in the three-headed canine soul beast's eyes as it spoke aloud.
Sensing that the auspicious beast's aura within the amber cocoon was still intact and powerful, the three-headed hound paced back and forth, half of its raised heart finally settling.
At least the auspicious beast was still alright for now.
Di Tian had sent it out as the auspicious beast's bodyguard. If it failed to protect the auspicious beast's life, even ten deaths would not be enough to atone for it!
But why had the auspicious beast become like this? There seemed to be a human inside that amber cocoon as well. And that power just now—even by its senses, it seemed stronger than the most powerful being it had ever seen, Beast God Di Tian.
Though anxious, the three-headed hound did not dare interrupt them. Fearing that something might go wrong with the auspicious beast, it could only wait there in torment.
Inside the cocoon of light, Wang Dong'er and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion still had their foreheads pressed together. Human and beast were curled up like infants, drifting within the amber cocoon.
Within the bundle Wang Dong'er kept close to her body, Electrolux, who resided within the little golden hammer, finally awakened because of the powerful fluctuation.
Since he had no spiritual item to reside in, Electrolux relied on slumber to reduce the consumption of his residence whenever nothing was happening. Only powerful external forces like this could awaken him.
"What powerful divine sense!" Electrolux said in surprise. "This world actually has a Plane Will?"
"This divine sense seems similar to that pure energy I absorbed. Is it targeting Wang Dong'er? If so, then I shall lend a hand."
A wisp of gray entered the fray without the slightest warning, immediately striking Tang San.
Tang San had spent his life ambushing others with hidden weapons. He had never imagined that he himself would be ambushed one day, and rage and humiliation surged within him.
"What lowly wretch dares sneak attack this God King? Striking from behind—is that the conduct of a gentleman?"
"You have the nerve to say that?" Wang Dong'er immediately knew that Electrolux had come to help her. With this, their side's chances of victory had increased considerably.
"Damn it!" Tang San gripped the Golden Trident formed from divine sense. "Then taste this God King's wrath!"
As he spoke, Tang San's body abruptly began to swell, reddening like a balloon.
"This is bad—he's detonating his divine sense! He is actually willing to go that far?" Electrolux shielded Wang Dong'er from behind, while the hazy humanoid formed by the Plane Will likewise raised its defenses.
To them both, Wang Dong'er was someone they had chosen.
Though from the Plane Will's perspective, Wang Dong'er being "chosen" had been somewhat forced.
But if it could not nurture someone capable of opposing Tang San's true body, then it alone had no way to resist that evil god who intended to erase its will.
Electrolux's reasons were much simpler. First, he had yet to pass down all he had learned. Second, he still held hope of resurrection. If one could live normally, who would be willing to die completely?
Wang Dong'er possessed the Child of Light physique and was willing to share with him the spiritual energy gained from refining divine sense. In Electrolux's eyes, Wang Dong'er was now his hope of resurrection.
Wave after wave of fluctuations spread outward from within. Before the three-headed hound outside could react, it was struck again and sent flying.
By now, it was completely bewildered.
Just what had the auspicious beast encountered for fluctuations of such a level of power to leak out?
Most importantly, Beast God Di Tian would likely arrive soon. What was it supposed to do then?
As that final thought flashed through its mind, the three-headed hound shook its three heads and fainted.
Beyond the distant swamp, Cai Kun also sensed the fluctuations of that tremendous power. His expression changed, and he hurriedly led Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao back.
Xiao Xiao had wanted to go look for Wang Dong'er, but Cai Kun stopped her directly. She could only stare helplessly toward the depths of the Star Dou Forest.
At the same time, within the core region of the Star Dou Forest, in a clear lake.
The surface of the lake suddenly churned violently. Accompanied by an incomparably terrifying aura, a streak of black light shot out from beneath the lake and rose into the sky, stopping in midair.
A black-clad figure slowly materialized. Though his power was unimaginably strong, his face bore an expression of utmost respect, as though he were conversing with someone.
After a while, the black-clad man's expression lost its former respect and turned incomparably cold. Fixing his gaze on the direction where the power had erupted, he vanished in a flash.
Undead Demiplane, Taking Electrolux as Master
After the terrifying fluctuations passed, the hazy humanoid manifested by the Plane Will seemed to glitch. It swayed before disappearing.
Electrolux, however, appeared to be unharmed.
Within the amber-like cocoon of light, a layer of golden radiance flickered. Wang Dong'er and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion descended while pressed against each other, only separating after they reached the ground.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked somewhat dazed, her body swaying unsteadily. The third vertical eye on her forehead changed from red to gold, but quickly changed back.
Wang Dong'er staggered slightly as well, only managing to steady herself after a moment.
Their gazes met again, and both human and beast trembled. Countless fragments of memory flashed through Wang Dong'er's mind.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, however, looked somewhat lost.
Electrolux's soul appeared. With a wave of his hand, a gate that seemed to be built from piled bones materialized out of thin air.
"Go inside and hide first," Electrolux said. "A powerful aura is rapidly approaching."
"Alright." Having recovered her senses, Wang Dong'er did not question him. After glancing at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, she stepped through the bone gate. Electrolux followed her inside, and the gate instantly closed and vanished.
Only after the bone gate had completely disappeared and every trace of their auras had been erased did the Three-Eyed Golden Lion speak softly.
"Wang Dong'er... the human world?"
According to the rules of attribute guidance, she should have been able to see fragments of Wang Dong'er's memories. Yet for some reason, what she saw was almost entirely blank, with only a few images flashing through her mind.
Not long after, a black-clad figure descended from the sky. After glancing at the three-headed hound that had been knocked unconscious, he turned to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"Three-Eyed Golden Lion, what happened just now?" The black-clad man's terrifying aura surged as he lowered his head and asked.
"Uncle Di Tian." Seeing the black-clad man, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook her head. But rather than answer Di Tian's question, she asked him one instead. "Dragon God... was he an evil god?"
"Dragon God?" Di Tian froze. "How did you know about the Dragon God? And what did you mean by asking whether he was an evil god?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lowered her massive head, recalling the scattered fragments she had just seen.
"Soul beasts being unable to Become Gods is not only because of the God Realm's obstruction—it is also a curse laid down by the Dragon God."
Di Tian frowned. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion clearly knew things she should not have known at this point. How had she learned them?
However, this information was far too important. He could no longer make the decision alone; he had to bring the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to seek that lord's instructions.
As it happened, when he had previously emerged from Life Lake, that lord had also awakened because of the clash of those powers.
Di Tian glanced at the three-headed dog again and snorted coldly, slapping it awake.
"Idiot. You couldn't even protect the auspicious beast."
Sensing that no other auras remained in the area, Di Tian did not linger. He swiftly departed with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Meanwhile, Wang Dong'er, who had already entered the bone gate with Electrolux, stared at the dim world before her.
As far as the eye could see, the entire land was black as ink. There was not even a single decent plant, and the place was so deathly silent that it seemed devoid of all living things.
Even the great sun hanging high in the sky was black, radiating an eerie violet glow.
Farther away lay a stretch of black hills, blocking their view and preventing them from seeing beyond.
Behind Wang Dong'er stood the bone gate they had just entered through.
Electrolux stood beside her, a faintly smug look still on his face.
"This is the Undead Demiplane that I refined. If I truly could Become a God, this Undead Demiplane might well become a complete plane."
"However, in my world, Becoming a God meant dissipating. It was still different from your world."
