The Divine Path Opens, Hidden Currents Surge

Yu Yunting successfully condensed the God of Thunder's Edge, officially stepping into the realm of gods. Although the news was intentionally controlled by Yu Yuanchen and only known to a very few core figures, the majestic power of the Seven-Colored Heaven and Earth Tribulation on that day and the unique law fluctuations of the birth of the new god still stirred up ripples in the upper echelons of the Douluo Continent and the distant God Realm, just like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

Within Storm Valley, the primordial Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, dispelled by the Thunder Tribulation, remained active. Yu Yunting sat cross-legged, stabilizing his nascent divine Divine Spark. Dark golden lightning flowed around his body, radiating divine might that could extinguish evil and vanquish demons, exuding an awe-inspiring Divine Might.

Although he has only just entered the God Level and his aura still needs time to settle, the foundation that originates from his own path and is perfectly aligned with it reveals a potential far exceeding that of an ordinary Second-level Deity.

Yu Yuanchen stood to one side with his hands behind his back, watching his son successfully take this crucial step, his eyes filled with a mixture of relief and solemnity. The Path of Divine Spark had finally yielded its first successful case.

This not only signifies Yu Yunting's personal transcendence, but also verifies the feasibility of his proposed new cultivation system—a path to godhood that, to a certain extent, can break free from dependence on the inherent inheritance of the Divine Realm and places greater emphasis on the cultivator's own comprehension and accumulation.

"How are you feeling?" Yu Yuanchen asked calmly.

Yu Yunting opened his eyes, the lightning in them subdued. He felt the Divine Spark crystal within his body, which was closely connected to his soul and could absorb and release the energy of heaven and earth on its own. He said in a deep voice, "It's better than ever before, Father. My power is as responsive as my own limbs, and my perception of lightning and the Evil-Breaking Law is more than ten times clearer."

Although his current total Divine Power may not even be as great as those of the Third-Class Deity, his growth potential... I feel there are no restrictions, and I can freely develop it." His tone was filled with barely suppressed excitement. This path was pioneered by his father, and his success in traversing it was of extraordinary significance.

Yu Yuanchen nodded slightly. "Your Divine Spark essence is newly formed, like a seedling, requiring careful nurturing. From now on, you will need to nourish it with your own Divine Essence, water it with the Power of Faith, and constantly hone it through actual combat and enlightenment, so that it may grow strong. The path is open, but the road ahead is long, and you still need to be cautious."

"I understand!" Yu Yunting nodded emphatically.

Just as the father and son were talking, Yu Yuanchen's mind stirred slightly, and he sensed a powerful Divine Sense that transcended the barriers between planes and contained the origin of Destruction and creation quietly descending. It was the God of Destruction King.

"Yu Yuanchen, you really dare to think and act!" The voice of the God of Destruction King resounded directly in Yu Yuanchen's Sea of Consciousness, revealing neither joy nor anger, but the immense will it exuded caused the surrounding void to tremble slightly. "Forging oneself through tribulation, absorbing the Dao into oneself... this path is fraught with difficulties!"

Yu Yuanchen remained unmoved, responding with his Divine Sense: "Your Majesty, the path to Destruction is one that people forge themselves. While the Godhood Inheritance is secure, it is also a constraint. The Path of Divine Spark offers all beings more choices and brings more vitality to the world—why not?"

"Vitality?" The God of Destruction King scoffed. "Do you know that this is tantamount to carving a crack in the seemingly solid wall of order in the Divine Realm? How many gods who rely on their God Position authority and enjoy eternal life will feel threatened by this? Within the God Realm Committee, undercurrents are probably already surging!"

The seemingly stern reprimand somehow carried a hint of schadenfreude; the good days of these lazy, lazy bums were finally over.

Yu Yuanchen had already anticipated the commotion this matter would cause, and calmly said, "Rotten wood cannot be destroyed, and new branches cannot grow. The Divine Realm has been stagnant for too long, like a pool of dead water. It needs a catfish to enter the water to stimulate Life Force. The Path of Divine Spark is not meant to overthrow, but rather to supplement, to open a window for those whose God Position are not suitable but whose hearts are turned towards the Great Dao. Besides..."

He then changed the subject, his tone carrying a deeper meaning. "The success of this path proves the boundless potential of all beings in the mortal realm. Wouldn't this greatly benefit the strengthening of the Divine Realm's origins and the response to potential future changes? Destruction Majesty's pursuit of the Divine Realm expansion also demonstrates your understanding that 'the ocean embraces all rivers, and greatness lies in tolerance.'"

The God of Destruction King naturally understood Yu Yuanchen's implication. If the Path of Divine Spark were promoted, it would mean that more geniuses in the lower realms would be able to advance, injecting fresh blood into the Divine Realm and inevitably improving its overall strength. This did not conflict with his idea of expanding the Divine Realm, and was even beneficial in the long run.

He was persuaded by Yu Yuanchen precisely because he saw this point, as well as the prospect that Yu Yuanchen promised that "Divine Spark" and "God Position" could be transformed into each other and complement each other in the future.

"... Very well." The God of Destruction King finally said, "Since I have already given my approval, I will deal with Life as I see fit. As for the Goodness and the evil, I will handle that myself. Asura's attitude is ambiguous, but the tide is turning, and he has no choice but to comply. You should focus on perfecting this path, but remember, the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow. Keep a low profile for now and properly handle the aftermath in the lower realms."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Yuanchen felt relieved. With the support of the two God King, Destruction and Life, the matter was mostly settled, at least among the higher levels of the Divine Realm. As for the backlash from other gods, that was a problem that would need to be addressed later.

After severing communication with the God of Destruction King, Yu Yuanchen said to Yu Yunting, "The Divine Realm has no objections for now. You should first stabilize your cultivation level, and then come back to the Douluo Continent with me. Your grandfather and great-grandfather must have been waiting for a long time."

Upon hearing this, a hint of anticipation flashed in Yu Yunting's eyes. Achieving God Level and returning home to share the good news would be a joyous occasion in life.

Several days later, in Blue Lightning Dragon City, Douluo Continent.

Yu Mingfeng and Yu Boxuan had already sensed the God Level aura, which was connected by blood yet vast like a starry sea, approaching from afar, and waited excitedly in the sect's forbidden area. When they saw Yu Yuanchen leading Yu Yunting, whose aura was profound and whose divine light was restrained, stepping through the air, the two old men's eyes reddened slightly, especially Yu Boxuan, whose beard trembled with excitement.

"Good! Good! Another True God has emerged from my Yu Family!" Yu Boxuan held his great-grandson's hand, feeling the vigorous Divinity power, and was greatly pleased. Yu Mingfeng also patted his grandson's shoulder hard. Although he didn't say much, the pride and joy in his eyes were evident.

Yu Yuanchen achieved the status of God King, transcending worldly affairs, and became the Dinghai Shenzhen of the sect. Yu Yunting's ascension to godhood through a new method represents the ultimate glory of the family's bloodline and heritage, signifying that the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a more solid guarantee.

The family reunion brought them great joy. Yu Yuanchen also briefly explained the philosophy and prospects of the Path of Divine Spark to his father and grandfather, which stirred their hearts and filled them with confidence in the future of the sect.

However, amidst this celebratory atmosphere, Yu Yuanchen keenly sensed something amiss. During a break in the family gathering, he encountered his second younger brother Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Yuanzhen's Cultivation Level has now reached the Level 98 Super Douluo. His aura is deep and serene, and he is not far from the level 99 limit. As the Sect Master, his prestige is growing stronger every day. However, when he sees Yu Yuanchen, his respectful smile cannot completely hide a trace of fatigue and gloom.

Yu Yuanchen was no ordinary person; his insight into the mind of God King Level was profound. Although Yu Yuanzhen quickly regained his composure, he had already noticed the slight abnormality in Yu Yuanzhen's expression. He remained outwardly calm, exchanged a few pleasantries with his second brother, inquired about sect affairs, and then excused himself to leave.

Then, he secretly sent a telepathic message to his third brother Yu Luomian.

In the secret chamber, Yu Luomian met her elder brother, bowed respectfully, and then asked with a puzzled expression, "Brother, what brings you here?"

Yu Yuanchen asked directly, "Luo Mian, I've noticed that Yuan Zhen seems preoccupied lately, his smile is forced. Has anything happened within the sect recently?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian's face flashed with a complex expression, and he sighed, "Eldest brother is wise... Second brother is indeed troubled by Xiao Gang's matter."

"Yu Xiaogang?" Yu Yuanchen raised an eyebrow. He had heard about his nephew's troubles in his early years, but hadn't paid much attention. After all, there were many disciples in the sect, and as a deity, he couldn't possibly worry about everything.

Yu Luomian immediately recounted in detail how Yu Xiaogang bullied others at the Clan School, how his Martial Soul Awakening mutated into "Luo Sanpao" and his Innate Soul Power was only half a level, how he later became extreme and resentful, how he was severely punished by Yu Yuanzhen and sent to the primary Soul Master Academy, and how he was given the Marrow Cleansing Pill developed by Yu Yunyao to barely raise his Innate Soul Power to level three.

"My second brother had placed a sliver of hope in this child, even though he knew his talent was mediocre, he still hoped that he could be content with his lot and live a peaceful life. Who knew... alas." Yu Luomian shook his head and sighed, "This child is unruly, stubborn and obstinate, and cannot be reformed despite repeated teachings."

My second brother is wise and capable, managing the sect's affairs with great efficiency, yet he has such a son. How can he not feel good? He also feels his reputation has been damaged. A few days ago was the day he sent that boy to the academy, so it's understandable that my second brother was in low spirits."

After listening, Yu Yuanchen remained calm and composed. In his previous life, when he read the original novel, he had been quite dismissive of the so-called "Grandmaster" and his theories, believing them to be empty rhetoric and that Yu Xiaogang himself lacked the heart of a true strongman.

If Yu Xiaogang had been more ambitious, or even just had good character, his uncle wouldn't have let his nephew be burdened with such Innate Soul Power. But looking at the current situation, he decided to let it go.

Having transmigrated to this world and changed countless destinies, Yu Xiaogang seems to still be sliding down a disappointing trajectory.

"A hopeless case," Yu Yuanchen thought to himself, then paid no more attention. Everyone has their own destiny, and Yu Xiaogang had chosen his own path; no one else could help him, nor was it worth the effort of a God King like himself.

As a father, Yu Yuanzhen had already fulfilled his responsibilities; all that remained was to let go. He then asked, "How is Yunyao doing lately?"

Mentioning his daughter, Yu Luomian smiled, "Yunyao is doing very well! She's obsessed with alchemy, spending all her time in the Medicine Workshop. I hear she's almost finished with a new formula. The Federation and the sect both cherish her very much."

Yu Yuanchen nodded slightly. His children were successful and his family was prosperous; that was enough. As for the trivial matters of people like Yu Xiaogang, they were just a ripple in the tide and would soon subside.

As for the so-called "original work"? Yu Yuanchen's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. He descended into this world, pioneered Martial Way, unified the continent, became God King, and even now he is paving a new path to Divine Spark for future generations... All of these things have already turned the so-called "plot" upside down. If everything could still develop according to the "original work," then he would have truly come all this way in vain.

After instructing Yu Luomian to provide more assistance to Yu Yuanzhen and to handle sect affairs properly, Yu Yuanchen ended the conversation.

Leaving the secret chamber, Yu Yuanchen looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the dimensional barrier, seeing the Divine Realm deep within the endless void. The Path of Divine Spark was open, but the real storms might have only just begun.

The attitudes of the two God King, Goodness and Evil, are certainly not as lighthearted as the God of Destruction King claims, and the thoughts of the Asura God King are even more unfathomable. The spread of this method in the lower realms must be carefully guided to avoid causing unnecessary turmoil.
