The God Realm is Not Elimination but "Harvesting", the Anti-Fate God King Group Shatters "Destiny" with Battle Intent

This thought was even colder than the previous speculation. They were not being eliminated; they were being periodically "harvested."

God Realm.

The God Kings of the Bright God Realm—Chang Gong Wei, Lei Xiang, and Hai Long—felt no relief from the solemnity on their faces despite this "revelation."

"It is explaining the rules," Chang Gong Wei's voice was low. "It is telling us that this cycle is inevitable, that it is the ultimate law of the world."

"The intellect that seeks the truth..." Hai Long sneered. "How arrogant. It's as if it's saying, 'The reason you can understand all of this is not because of how capable you are, but because I allowed you to prosper, allowed you to become smart enough to understand your own fate.'"

"This is an attempt to dismantle our will," Tian Hen, the wise man who commanded space and time, hit the nail on the head. "It is telling us that everything is predestined, that resistance is meaningless, and it wants us to accept this premise from the depths of our hearts."

In the God Realm Committee, the atmosphere was oppressive to the extreme.

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye flickered, his vast mental power frantically running simulations. This "revelation" seemed to explain everything, yet it avoided the core question—the one Tang San had raised earlier.

Who is driving this?

Lie Yan stood quietly beside Ji Dong; she could feel the volcano about to erupt within her lover's heart. From mortals to God Kings, they had fought their way up, defying the heavens to change their fates. Was it all just to receive a final notification that "everything has an end"?

Rong Nianbing, the former Cooking God and current God of Emotion, could feel the negative emotions born from despair within the group more acutely than anyone else. These emotions had become so thick they were nearly tangible.

Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena stood side by side. The lament of the Dragon God still echoed in their bloodlines. "The end of the cycle..." Tang Wulin repeated. There was no bewilderment in his eyes, only a cold, dead silence. "So, was Father's resistance something that occurred before a certain 'end'?"

Gu Yuena gripped his hand tightly. She could understand that despair even more deeply. The destruction of the Dragon race was not due to war or internal strife, but because this world was undergoing a "formatting."

Just as this sense of powerlessness was about to reach its peak, all the text on the light screen began to blur.

Finally, thousands of rays of light converged, leaving behind only one last line of text.

That line of text was no longer a high-and-mighty proclamation, nor was it a cold, philosophical statement. Its tone was calm, yet carried an indescribable sense of resolve.

[We have heard you, but we have our own thoughts.]

Silence.

After a deathly silence came a sudden, explosive surge of stormy waves!

"We?"

"Who is speaking? Is it the entity that is projecting this light screen?"

"It... is it declaring its stance?"

In an instant, it was as if everyone's mind had been struck by a heavy hammer.

In the God Realm Committee, Tang San's body jolted violently.

It was not the thought of "Heavenly Law," nor the rules of the world, but the thoughts of "We"!

This sentence was like a bolt of lightning tearing through an eternal night, instantly illuminating the fog in everyone's hearts. It was like a spark thrown into a pile of dry firewood stacked high with Despair and rage.

BOOM!

"Our own ideas..." Xu Sanshi froze. The self-mockery and Bitterness on his face instantly solidified, replaced by an expression of incredulous astonishment.

He Caitou's hand, which had been wiping his Soul Tool, stopped. He looked up, and a light reignited in his eyes.

Niu Tian and Titan, the two Divine Beasts, exchanged a glance. In each other's eyes, they saw the extinguished flames reigniting with the momentum of a prairie fire!

Had their King, the Dragon God, once said the same thing to that so-called "Heavenly Law"?

--We have heard your arrangements, but we have our own ideas!

This was no longer a filthy struggle; it was an unyielding resistance!

Bright God Realm.

"Ha... haha... hahahaha!" Hai Long suddenly burst into loud laughter, his voice filled with exhilaration and unbridled spirit. "What a 'we have our own ideas'! Well said! Extremely well said!"

Chang Gong Wei's back straightened at this moment. The Solemnity in his eyes transformed into a sharp edge. "So that's how it is. This inventory is not a verdict, but a declaration of war!"

Inside Zi, dragon blood was boiling. The mournful cry of her ancestor, Apep, transformed at this moment into the most high-pitched battle song! It was a resonance that spanned time and space, the highest affirmation of this sentence: "We have our own ideas!"

God Realm Committee.

"It is guiding us..." A brilliant light erupted from Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye. "It is telling us that the 'Heavenly Law' is not impossible to defy!"

Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Bloodline roared. He seemed to see his Father, that Dragon God from ten thousand years ago, still holding his head high before his death, declaring his will to the entire world.

His Sadness and self-reproach transformed, at this moment, entirely into scorching battle intent.

"Our own ideas..." Gu Yuena whispered. In her silver eyes, the tears faded, leaving only endless coldness and determination.

"That's right."

A voice rang out—not loud, yet it suppressed all discussion.

Tang San slowly straightened his body, the radiance of the Sea God flowing behind him. His gaze swept across every God King present: from Ji Dong and Lie Yan to Zhou Weiqing, Rong Nianbing, Chang Gong Wei, and A'Dai...

On everyone's face, the same answer was written.

They were all powerhouses who had stepped against the heavens in their respective worlds, step by step, to finally stand here. In their very bones, the words "refuse to accept fate" were branded.

The previous Despair was only because they thought their opponent was the entire "world."

But now, this line of text told them that their opponent was merely an existence that had established the rules.

And rules were meant to be broken!

"A loop requires a drive core." Tang San's voice was calm and powerful, as if stating a fundamental truth. "A closed loop, similarly, requires a lock to maintain it."

He paused, his gaze piercing through the God Realm as if looking toward a higher, more unknown dimension.

"Since it has ideas of its own."

"Then we, too, should let it hear our thoughts."

Zhou Weiqing grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth as an evil, wicked smile returned to his face. "My Six Absolute Divine Light hasn't been unleashed at full power for a long time."

Ji Dong held Lie Yan's hand, and Extreme Twin Fires rose quietly around them, as if ready to incinerate the heavens at any moment.

An unprecedented aura began to coalesce throughout the God Realm Committee.

It was the purest will of resistance, forged from the combined wills of countless Children of Planes and protagonists of their eras!

The fighting spirit that had just ignited within the God Realm Committee was like a block of Myriad Years Mysterious Ice dropped into boiling water; that surging momentum suddenly stalled.
