War Between Humans and Gods

At this moment.

The four great empires, the major sects, and even the Soul Beast Clan were all discussing what was happening in the Sky Curtain.

After all, the series of evaluations shown there had been truly unbelievable.

The only thing they could be sure of was that the person in the Sky Curtain had become the focus of the entire continent.

"Rumble!"

At the same time, the Sky Curtain changed once more.

"How did it go?"

On the throne, a man wearing a yellow dragon robe spoke slowly.

His voice was calm, as if he were asking about something entirely ordinary.

The scene in the Sky Curtain gradually unfolded.

In the great hall, over a hundred figures dressed in different clothes stood there with respectful expressions.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Spirit Cult has been wiped out..."

A towering man, nearly two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a muscular build, stepped forward. His eyes were cold as he cupped his hands and reported, "Only a handful of stragglers escaped."

"Did I not say that not a single Evil Soul Master from the Holy Spirit Cult was to be allowed to escape?" The Dragon Robe Man's gaze gradually turned cold.

Below him, the gathered figures exchanged glances in silence.

"Isn't that Long Aotian, the strongest of the younger generation in the Body Sect and the sect master's heir?"

Many recognized the towering man and cried out in surprise.

He was the heir to the Body Sect, one of the three strongest forces on the Douluo Continent. If even he had submitted, then the meaning was obvious.

After the Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy, even the Body Sect had been brought under that man's command!

Moreover, they spotted many familiar faces among the gathered figures.

"Isn't that Du Busi, the Body Sect's sect master? What is he doing there?"

"Yan Shaozhe, dean of Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department!"

"The continent's foremost Healing-type Soul Master, Medicine Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er!"

"Nan Shuishui, sect master of the Earth Dragon Gate!"

One renowned powerhouse after another was recognized, and cries of surprise rang out repeatedly.

"With so many powerful people joining us, how could the Star Luo Empire fail to prosper?"

Even Xu Jiawei could barely hide his excitement.

His greatest dream in life was to restore the Star Luo Empire to its former glory.

For that dream, Xu Jiawei was even willing to let his own line die out.

Now that he was seeing this scene, how could he not be thrilled?

If Gu Tian were not still so young and had yet to grow into his own, Xu Jiawei would have wanted to marry him to his younger sister, Xu Jiujiu, immediately, then abdicate the throne in his favor.

The scene continued to play across the sky.

"The passage between the Divine Realm and the Douluo Continent has been opened."

The Dragon Robe Man lowered his head, his eyes half-closed. His voice held no emotion. "You should all know what that means, shouldn't you?"

No one below replied. They simply listened in silence.

"It means the war between humans and gods will begin again."

The Dragon Robe Man's eyes snapped open on the throne. "At a time like this, no destabilizing factors can be allowed within the empire."

Boom!

An utterly terrifying aura burst forth in an instant.

His imposing gaze shook the soul, and his utterly self-assured will swept across the hall like a storm.

Anyone who met his eyes felt an irresistible urge to submit.

"Is this the pressure of the strongest person in human history?"

That thought rose in everyone's mind.

Though they were separated from him by the Sky Curtain, watching from afar...

The Peerless Emperor seated high above in the scene still brought them a terrifying pressure unlike anything they had ever felt.

Quite a few people reflexively dropped to their knees with a thud, including Soul Masters of high rank.

Only after they had knocked their heads against the ground did they realize something was wrong.

There was a Light Screen between them, and they didn't even know if this was real. Why had they knelt and kowtowed?

Those who were easily embarrassed flushed red, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.

Those with thicker skin simply stood up as if nothing had happened, as though they hadn't been the ones kneeling just moments ago.

At this moment, it seemed people could finally see what a true ruler was.

"What, no one's going to speak? Have you all gone mute?"

The Dragon Robe Man looked down at his ministers.

His words weren't especially forceful, but even through the Sky Curtain, everyone could feel the anger in them.

The moment he grew angry, everyone instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

At the same time, they were curious about what it meant that the passage between the Divine Realm and the Douluo Continent had opened, and that the war between humans and gods would begin again.

Taken literally, did it mean that at some point in the future, humans and gods would go to war?

And for some unknown reason, the passage between the Divine Realm and the Douluo Continent had been sealed, only to reopen at the point in time shown in the Sky Curtain, bringing about a second war between humans and gods.

But if that was really the case, why would humans and gods go to war?

No god had appeared on this continent for ten thousand years.

The earliest recorded instance was the War of Two Gods at the end of Spirit Hall's rule.

And what power could humans possibly use to stand against the lofty gods?

"Speak!"

A furious shout rang out from the Sky Curtain, echoing across the heavens.

At the same time, a terrifying aura erupted.

All because of one casual remark from the man seated on the throne.

The ministers below turned pale, every one of them dropping to one knee.

At this moment, it wasn't just the people in the scene—even those watching from afar were shaken to their core, kneeling in fear.

Only the Titled Douluo were somewhat better off, managing not to lose control so badly.

But judging by how pale they had grown, they clearly hadn't been unaffected.

In a secluded courtyard of the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Gu Tian himself had been startled by that shout, but he quickly recovered.

He stared at the information in the Sky Curtain, shocked by what it revealed.

The passage between the Divine Realm and the Douluo Continent had been opened?

The war between humans and gods was going to begin again?

What was all this supposed to mean?

Had this happened in the Original Work?

Had his butterfly effect really become that powerful?

After thinking for a moment, Gu Tian formed a rough guess.

Tang San had to be behind the war between humans and gods in some way.

Others might not know this, but as a Transmigrator, Gu Tian understood the current state of the Douluo God Realm very well.

To put it simply, the Divine Realm Committee, made up of five God Kings, governed the Douluo God Realm.

The First Evil God and First Goodness God had descended to the mortal world to experience life, and Ji Dong and Lie Yan, the male and female protagonists of God of Wine, had taken their place as acting God Kings.

The catch was that the former Evil God and Goodness God hadn't fully passed their divine artifacts and divine positions on to Ji Dong and Lie Yan.

As a result, the two had become the weakest God Kings, with little say on the Divine Realm Committee.

God of Destruction was arrogant and headstrong, with a powerful lust for authority and a desire to expand the Divine Realm.

Although Life God was his wife, the gentle Life God had always kept him in check, guided there subtly by someone.

As a result, Tang San, who held the dual divine positions of Sea God and Asura God, had become the true ruler of the Divine Realm.

The current Evil God, Ji Dong, was one of the few protagonists without any real stains on his record. He was proud, but not arrogant.

For his beloved Lie Yan, he had turned white-haired in three steps, become a living corpse, and sworn to make wine only for the dead Lie Yan for the rest of his life.

After sleeping with Chen Sixuan, who had taken on Lie Yan's appearance, he had decided to castrate himself. Though he hadn't succeeded, it still showed that Ji Dong was a true man and a devoted lover.

When the former Goodness God and Evil God encountered a danger they couldn't handle while experiencing life in the mortal world, Lie Yan and Ji Dong would always go to help them of their own accord.

If Tang San had been in their place, wouldn't he have said, "You deserve to die"?

Then he would have schemed to kill those two former God Kings and seize their Super Divine Artifacts.

Judging by all this, Ji Dong was countless times better than that hypocritical Tang San.

Given his character, he would never allow a war between humans and gods.

And Goodness God Lie Yan would absolutely support her beloved.

If the Divine Realm really went to war against humanity, Ji Dong and Lie Yan would be the first to step forward and stop it.

Life God would probably remain neutral. As for God of Destruction, who felt a deep attachment to the Divine Realm, he probably wouldn't act unless the Divine Realm itself was involved.

In other words, Tang San, the current man in charge of the Divine Realm, was likely the culprit behind the war between humans and gods.

And his purpose was probably to eliminate Gu Tian, an outsider who had disrupted all his plans.

If Gu Tian's guess was right, he was curious how Tang San had managed to gain the support of God of Destruction and Life God.

A major decision like a war between humans and gods would have to be decided by a vote of the Divine Realm Committee.

The Five Great God Kings had no ranks of precedence, and each held one vote.

In other words, at least three votes were needed to set the war between humans and gods in motion.

There was no need to mention Goodness God and Evil God. They would definitely oppose it.

Life God aside, God of Destruction was Tang San's sworn enemy. By all rights, he shouldn't support him.

"Could humanity's development in the future have threatened the Divine Realm?"

Suddenly, Gu Tian seemed to realize something and drew in a sharp breath.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

In the world of Douluo, the gap between humans and gods was like the difference between two entirely separate dimensions.

Even a Level 99 Limit Douluo would be instantly killed by an ordinary Level Three God.

Could humans like that possibly wage war against the gods?

The answer was obviously no.

Humanity in the future must have gained some kind of power or means capable of threatening the gods, perhaps even the God Kings, and that was what had brought about the war between humans and gods.

In the end, gods were nothing more than beings with greater strength.

When faced with humans capable of threatening their lives, they would feel fear too, and want to wipe out the threat completely.

Just like Lie Yan, before she became Goodness God. Simply revealing her god-level strength had made her unacceptable to the Divine Realm, and she had died at the hands of a God Realm Law Enforcer.
