War Between Humans and Gods

This moment.

Whether it was the four great empires, the major sects, or the Soul Beast Clan, almost everyone was discussing the content within the Sky Curtain.

After all, that series of evaluations in the Sky Curtain was simply too unbelievable.

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

"Boom!"

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

"How are matters proceeding?"

On the imperial throne, a man dressed in a yellow dragon robe spoke slowly.

His voice was very calm, as if he were discussing something very ordinary.

The Sky Curtain image slowly unfolded.

Within the great hall, over a hundred figures dressed in various attire stood there with full respect on their faces.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Spirit Cult has been eradicated..."

A burly man, nearly two meters tall with broad shoulders, a wide back, bulging muscles, and cold eyes, stepped forward and reported with a cupped fist salute: "Only a few remnants escaped."

"Imperial We did say, did We not, that not a single Evil Soul Master from the Holy Spirit Cult was to be allowed to escape." The Dragon Robe Man's eyes gradually turned cold.

Below, the crowd of figures exchanged silent glances.

"Isn't that Long Aotian, the number one of the younger generation of the Body Sect and the chief heir of the Body Sect Master?"

Many people who recognized that burly man couldn't help but cry out in shock.

That was the heir of the Body Sect, one of the three most powerful forces on the Douluo Continent. If even he had submitted, what that represented went without saying.

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

And among that crowd of figures, they spotted many familiar faces.

"Isn't that Du Busi, the Body Sect Master? Why is he there too?"

"Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy!"

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

"Nan Shuishui, the Gate Master of Earth Dragon Gate!"

One by one, renowned and prestigious powerhouses were recognized, and exclamations rang out continuously.

"With so many powerhouses joining us, why worry about the Star Luo Empire not thriving!"

Even Xu Jiawei could hardly conceal the excitement on his face.

His greatest dream in life was to see the Star Luo Empire flourish once more.

For this, Xu Jiawei was even willing to let his own bloodline die out.

Now, seeing this scene, how could he not be thrilled!

If it weren't for Gu Tian being still too young and not yet grown, Xu Jiawei would have wanted to immediately have him marry his younger sister Xu Jiujiu, and then abdicate the throne to him.

In the sky, the image continued to play.

"The passage between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent has already opened."

The Dragon Robe Man lowered his head, his eyes slightly closed, his voice devoid of any fluctuation: "You should all know what this means, shouldn't you?"

Below, no one spoke; they only listened quietly.

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

On the imperial throne, the Dragon Robe Man, who had been slightly closing his eyes, suddenly snapped them open: "At a time like this, the empire cannot tolerate any unstable factors within."

Boom!

A terrifying aura instantly erupted.

His awe-inspiring eyes stirred the soul, and an absolute, self-willed will swept over everything in a tidal wave.

Anyone who met his gaze couldn't help but want to submit.

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

This was the thought that arose in everyone's mind at this moment.

Even though they were only separated by a Sky Curtain, just watching from afar.

That lofty Peerless Emperor in the image still brought them an unprecedented, terrifying pressure.

Many people, including quite a few high-level Soul Masters, instinctively fell to their knees with a "thud."

Only after they had finished kowtowing did they realize something was wrong.

Separated by a Light Screen, not even knowing if it was real or fake, why had they knelt and kowtowed?

Those with thin skins instantly flushed bright red, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Those with thick skin simply stood up as if nothing had happened, as though the one who had just knelt and kowtowed was not them.

At this moment, people seemed to see in him what it truly meant to be a king.

"What, no words? All mute now?"

The Dragon Robe Man looked down upon the assembled ministers from on high.

Though his words were not harsh, everyone, even watching through the Sky Curtain, could feel the fury contained within.

The moment his anger erupted, all instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

At the same time, they were also curious about what it meant for the passage between the God Realm and Douluo Continent to be opened, and for the war between humans and gods to begin again.

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

And for some unknown reason, the passage between the God Realm and Douluo Continent had been sealed, only to be reopened at the time shown on the Sky Curtain, leading to a second war between humans and gods.

But if that were true, why would humans and gods go to war?

For ten thousand years, no gods had appeared on this continent.

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

And what power could humans possibly use to contend with the lofty gods?

"Speak!"

A thunderous roar rang out from the Sky Curtain, echoing across the heavens.

At the same time, a terrifying aura erupted.

Just from a single, light word from the man on the throne.

The ministers below turned pale, all dropping to one knee.

At that moment, not only those within the scene, but even those watching from afar were shaken to their core, falling to their knees in terror.

Only those who had reached the level of Titled Douluo fared slightly better, not losing their composure so completely.

But from their increasingly pale faces, it was clear they were not entirely unaffected.

In a rear courtyard of the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Gu Tian himself was startled by that sudden roar, but quickly recovered.

He looked at the information on the Sky Curtain and was shocked by its content.

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

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

What was all this?

Was this in the Original Work?

His butterfly effect was way too strong!

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

If a war broke out between humans and gods, Tang San was definitely to blame.

Others might not know, but as a Transmigrator, Gu Tian was very clear on the current structure of the Douluo God Realm.

Simply put, the Douluo God Realm was led by the God Realm Committee, composed of five God Kings.

Among the five God Kings, the original Evil God and original Goodness God had descended to the Mortal Realm to experience life, and Ji Dong and Lie Yan, the male and female leads of God of Wine, had become their acting God Kings.

But the problem was, the original Evil God and Goodness God had not fully passed on their divine artifacts and divine positions to Ji Dong and Lie Yan.

This made them the weakest God Kings, with little say in the God Realm Committee.

The God of Destruction was arrogant, stubborn, and power-hungry, wanting to expand the God Realm.

The Life God, though the wife of the God of Destruction, had been subtly guided by someone, and her gentle nature kept the God of Destruction in check.

Thus, as the holder of both the Sea God and Asura God divine positions, Tang San became the de facto ruler of the God Realm.

And the current Evil God, Ji Dong, was one of the few protagonists with almost no black marks—proud, but not arrogant.

For his beloved Lie Yan, he turned white-haired in three steps, became a walking corpse, and swore to mix drinks only for his dead Lie Yan.

When he had relations with Chen Sixuan, Lie Yan's incarnation, he decided to castrate himself. Though he failed, it still showed that Ji Dong was a true man, a worthy lover.

When the original Goodness and Evil Gods encountered dangers they couldn't resolve during their mortal trials, Ji Dong and Lie Yan would always take the initiative to help them.

If that were Tang San, he'd say something like "courting death."

Then he'd scheme to kill the two former God Kings and take their Super Divine Artifacts.

From all this, Ji Dong was far better than the hypocritical Tang San.

With his personality, he would never allow a war between humans and gods.

And the Goodness God, Lie Yan, would absolutely support her beloved.

If the God Realm really went to war with humans, Ji Dong and Lie Yan would be the first to step up and stop it.

The Life God would probably stay neutral, and the God of Destruction, who had deep feelings for the God Realm, would likely not act unless it involved matters related to the God Realm.

In other words, Tang San, the current authority figure of the God Realm, was very likely the chief culprit behind the War Between Humans and Gods.

And his goal was probably to eliminate Gu Tian, this outsider who had disrupted his entire scheme.

If it really was as Gu Tian guessed, then he was somewhat curious how Tang San had secured the support of the God of Destruction and the Life God.

Major decisions like the War Between Humans and Gods had to go through the God Realm Committee's voting system.

The Five Great God Kings had no distinction between primary and deputy; each held one vote.

In other words, at least three votes were needed to initiate the War Between Humans and Gods.

The Goodness God and the Evil God went without saying—they were definitely on the opposing side.

The Life God aside for now, the God of Destruction was Tang San's sworn enemy; logically, he shouldn't have supported him.

"Could it be that the future development of humanity has already threatened the God Realm?"

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, Gu Tian sucked in a sharp breath.

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

In the Douluo world's framework, the gap between humans and gods was practically two different dimensions.

Even a Level 99 Limit Douluo would be instantly killed by an ordinary third-tier god.

Did such humans qualify to wage war against gods?

The answer was clearly no.

Future humans must have possessed some kind of power or means that could threaten gods, even God Kings, which prompted that War Between Humans and Gods.

At the end of the day, gods were merely beings with slightly greater strength.

Faced with humans who could threaten their lives, they too would feel fear and want to completely annihilate that threat.

Just like Lie Yan before she became the Goodness God—merely exposing her divine-level power made her unacceptable to the God Realm, and she died at the hands of the God Realm Law Enforcers.
