The Divine Realm.
Outside the towering palace, clouds and mist swirled and shifted in countless ways.
"Tang San, what exactly have you done?"
"Why has the Divine Realm lost contact with Douluo Continent?"
A figure appeared before Tang San and fired off a string of questions.
He wore a large purple cloak that concealed his head. Tang San could just make out two glowing red lights flickering within it, but couldn't see his face.
An unfathomably terrifying aura seemed to emanate from inside the cloak.
The newcomer was none other than God of Destruction, one of the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm.
Tang San had been searching for traces of Douluo Continent with his Divine Sense, his eyes closed. He slowly opened them and looked at God of Destruction, parting his lips but unable to explain.
No matter what, Douluo Continent had disappeared right under his nose.
"Why aren't you saying anything? You were the one who said Douluo Continent was your homeland and told us not to interfere."
God of Destruction sneered. "That's why I turned a blind eye to your behavior."
"I don't know what's going on either. Douluo Continent disappeared out of nowhere."
Seeing God of Destruction's aggressive attitude, Tang San's face darkened at once.
Ever since he became a God Realm Law Enforcer, God of Destruction had been like a cat catching the scent of meat, relentlessly hounding him.
"Tang San, it had better be as you say. Let me remind you: don't try to interfere with Douluo Continent's development. If I catch you, you know what the consequences will be."
God of Destruction stared coldly at Tang San. "I'll convene the God Realm Committee. You'd better think carefully about how you're going to resolve this incident!"
As one of the Law Enforcement God Kings, God of Destruction knew that Tang San had interfered with the lower realm.
He had also been looking for something to pin on Tang San, but the God Realm Central Hub was in Tang San's hands, and he was careful to cover his tracks. So God of Destruction had never found direct evidence.
Even among the countless planes ruled by the Divine Realm, Douluo Continent held a very important place. None of the Five Great God Kings wanted anything to happen to it.
As soon as he finished speaking, God of Destruction vanished without waiting for Tang San to respond.
"Using your authority as an excuse!"
Seeing how little God of Destruction thought of him, Tang San felt anger surge through him. "Destruction, you've just cultivated for a few more years than I have, and you dare speak to me like that? You deserve to die!"
Gods weren't allowed to interfere in the mortal realm?
What a joke!
If that were true, he wouldn't have been resurrected during the Battle of Jialing Pass with the help of the previous Asura God, the Nine-Colored Goddess, and God of Food.
What's more, he had only managed to defeat Angel Goddess Qian Renxue and Rakshasa God Bibi Dong because the previous Asura God had secretly given him plenty of help.
Tang San might genuinely have known nothing about it at the time, but ever since he became a God Realm Law Enforcer, he had known that his predecessor had violated the Laws set by the God Realm beyond a shadow of a doubt.
"Just wait..."
Tang San took a deep breath, a vicious glint flashing in his eyes. "Once my plan is complete, both Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm will become my private gardens. Then we'll see how I deal with you!"
From beginning to end, Tang San had never considered getting rid of God of Destruction.
It wasn't that he didn't want to. He couldn't.
God of Destruction had Goddess of Life, another God King, backing him.
And among the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm, God of Destruction and Goddess of Life were unquestionably vital.
Of course, the most important reason was that Tang San couldn't beat God of Destruction.
The moon hid behind thick clouds, leaving only a few stars twinkling in the darkness.
The dim moonlight was as cold as mercury, hanging high above the treetops as the wind made the leaves roar.
Gu Tian strolled alone through the Star Luo Imperial Palace Garden.
After everything that had happened today, he couldn't sleep.
Since he was in the mood, he had come here for a walk.
For once, a hint of worry crossed Gu Tian's face.
He was thinking about something.
Today, the Sky Curtain had revealed not only his future, but also the future of Meng Hongchen, that white-haired little girl.
Gu Tian was doing all right, since he was already in his own stronghold, the Star Luo Empire.
Besides, he had a life-saving Divine Skill.
Meng Hongchen was different. She was from the Sun Moon Empire.
Fortunately, Meng Hongchen had been born into the Hongchen Family. Her grandfather was the president of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the master of Mingde Hall. He was a Rank 94 Titled Douluo as well as a Rank 9 Soul Engineer.
Even if the Sun Moon Royal Family had any bad intentions, they probably wouldn't act right away.
Even so, Gu Tian couldn't help worrying.
Although he and Meng Hongchen hadn't met yet, she was still the woman who would be his in the future.
"Looks like I'll have to send someone to gather information first, then figure out what to do."
In the end, Gu Tian could only shake his head and murmur to himself.
There was nothing he could do about this for now. He could only wait and see how things unfolded.
After all, no matter how powerful Gu Tian might become in the future, for now he was only a two-ring Soul Grandmaster.
He couldn't just use his life-saving Divine Skill, Heavenly Dao Substitute, whenever he wanted.
Just then, a strange glint flashed in Gu Tian's eyes.
A young woman had suddenly appeared directly in front of him.
She had a noble air and an elegant figure. Every gesture and movement revealed a natural grace.
Looking at the young woman before him—his fiancée, whom he hadn't even gotten engaged to yet—Gu Tian didn't know what to say.
When she saw Gu Tian, Xu Jiujiu froze in place, clearly not expecting to run into him here.
Xu Jiujiu pressed her pink lips together, just as at a loss for words.
The two of them stood awkwardly in silence.
Beneath the dim moonlight, the young man and woman faced each other.
"Your Highness, can't you sleep either?"
In the end, Gu Tian couldn't hold back and spoke first.
"Mm."
At his words, the image of a white-haired girl inexplicably surfaced in Xu Jiujiu's mind, and her pretty face immediately turned cold.
"I wonder what I did to offend Your Highness."
Seeing her reaction, Gu Tian was completely baffled. He had no idea how he had offended her.
"I'm your fiancée."
As soon as she said it, Xu Jiujiu's pretty face flushed bright red. She was clearly embarrassed.
"..."
Gu Tian froze on the spot.
But he soon realized what was going on: Xu Jiujiu was jealous.
When he thought about it, it made sense.
In the future shown by the Sky Curtain, he had been so intimate with Meng Hongchen, yet now he was treating Xu Jiujiu so formally. No wonder she was feeling a little sulky.
"Jiujiu, are you jealous?"
Once Gu Tian figured it out, he took a few steps toward Xu Jiujiu and studied her beautiful face with interest.
Caught off guard by Gu Tian's sudden advance, Xu Jiujiu felt his heavy breathing and her mind went blank.
