God of Emotions
Just as Tang Wulin awoke from his Dreamscape, in the center of the valley, Huo Yuhao was struggling to move forward step by step against the Power of Destruction.
His clothes were already soaked with sweat, then evaporated by the Power of Destruction, leaving white salt stains on the fabric over and over again.
Based on his experience over the past few days, he judged that he should be able to advance to a distance of 25 meters today.
However, just as he gritted his teeth and persevered, he suddenly sensed that the Power of Destruction around him seemed to have weakened somewhat.
Huo Yuhao stopped, his brows furrowed slightly, and he closed his eyes to concentrate and carefully sense the sensation.
The Destruction God aura that had been pressing down on him like a tangible force was now actually slowly fading away.
He opened his eyes and confirmed that his senses were correct; the Power of Destruction was indeed weakening, and not just by a little.
Just then, a beam of emerald green light shot into the sky from behind him.
The already abundant Life God force on Devil Island surged exponentially at an almost frenzied rate the moment this pillar of light appeared.
Huo Yuhao suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the emerald green pillar of light. At the same time, he clearly felt that the Power of Destruction around him was rapidly decreasing at a rate that was in sync with the surge in Life God power.
He didn't know what was happening over there, nor did he understand why the two forces of Destruction God and Life God, which should have been unrelated, were now moving in tandem as if one were waxing and the other waning.
But he knew this was an opportunity that would come once in a lifetime.
Given the current weakening of the Power of Destruction around him, there would be absolutely no problem for him to rush directly to that Destruction Fragment.
Huo Yuhao immediately stopped thinking and, disregarding his physical and mental exhaustion, strode towards the purplish-black pillar of light at the very center of the valley.
On the other side, Nightmare and Po Mie stood on the grass, their four old eyes staring wide-eyed at Tang Wulin, who had just woken up, dumbfounded.
That towering emerald green pillar of Life God light actually "emerged" from Tang Wulin's body.
Po Mie swallowed hard, turning to look at Nightmare beside him, his voice trembling slightly. "This kid... what's wrong with this kid? Life Tide, this is Life Tide!"
Nightmare, standing to the side, also looked completely bewildered, his wrinkled old face conveying an expression that said, "Don't ask me, I don't know either."
He shrugged, his voice slightly unsteady. "How should I know? None of the Little Monster sent this time are simple."
Tang Wulin, who was restoring his Soul Power with his eyes closed, was completely unaware of everything happening in the outside world.
He felt incredibly comfortable, enveloped by a warm, vibrant energy, with every pore greedily absorbing the rich, almost liquid Life God force.
This power was both gentle and immense; it was like a gentle spring rain, silently seeping into every corner of his body.
Tang Wulin could clearly feel that his flesh, bones, and meridians were evolving at an incredible speed under the nourishment of this Life God force, becoming stronger, purer, and more vibrant.
This unprecedented experience completely immersed him, making him lose track of time.
As his consciousness gradually sank into the depths of this Life God force, Tang Wulin was surprised to find that blurry images began to slowly emerge in his mind.
It was at this moment that "Old Tang," who had been quietly sleeping deep within Tang Wulin 'Spirit Sea, slowly opened his eyes.
As a wisp of will left behind by the Sea God Tang San in this divine consciousness, Old Tang was naturally very familiar with the aura of the gods in the Divine Realm.
At that moment, he recognized the aura contained in the emerald light surging from Tang Wulin's body almost immediately; it was the aura of the Goddess of Life.
During the upheaval in the Divine Realm, he was imprisoned by the God of Destruction and lost his freedom.
Although the Goddess of Life did not intervene to save him at that time, she ultimately could not bear to do so.
So after he was imprisoned, the Goddess of Life expended one-tenth of her own primordial divine Divine Power to bestow a "Kiss of Life" upon Tang Wulin, the unborn child.
Old Tang's divine sense silently swept across the surrounding valley, and in a short while, he had already investigated the situation to a great extent.
Even with his extensive experience, he couldn't help but secretly marvel at it.
Unexpectedly, after the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction both perished, fragments of their power traversed the endless void and eventually fell onto the Douluo Continent.
The changes in Tang Wulin at this moment were due to the blessing of the "Kiss of Life" left by the Goddess of Life, which resonated strongly with the remaining aura of the Goddess of Life in this ruin, thus triggering such a spectacular Life Tide.
However you look at it, this is a great thing. Tang Wulin's body is undergoing a transformative change. When he wakes up, both his physical body and talent will reach a new level.
Old Tang was relieved. The wisp of consciousness that had just awakened quietly sank back into the depths of his Spirit Sea and fell back into slumber.
Because of the appearance of the Life Tide, the Sea Soul Beast around Devil Island have become active.
The waters surrounding Devil Island are not considered deep seas, yet they are home to an astonishing number of Ten-thousand-year Soul Beast year-round.
It is the once-in-a-century Life Tide of Devil Island that continuously nourishes this sea area, which is why so many Sea Soul Beast are willing to linger here.
Huo Yuhao, of course, would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Taking advantage of the surge in his Life God force and the complete suppression of his Power of Destruction, he dashed towards the center of the valley like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, he had traversed a distance of over a hundred meters and stood steadily directly beneath the purplish-black pillar of light.
The purplish-black beam of light was much dimmer than what we had seen before, and directly below it was a purple crystal about the height of a person.
The crystal was translucent, with a faint, deep purple light flowing slowly within it, like a living thing sealed inside amber.
The surface of the crystal was not smooth; it was covered with naturally formed edges and patterns. Each pattern flowed with a thick, almost liquid, purplish-black light. This should be the largest Destruction Fragment that the Old Demon Po Mie had mentioned.
Standing before the Destruction Fragment, Huo Yuhao could clearly sense that the Power of Destruction had not truly disappeared; the Life Tide had only temporarily suppressed it within the purple crystal.
He carefully extended his right hand and gently placed his palm on the surface of the Destruction Fragment.
It wasn't as icy cold as he had imagined; instead, it had a slightly warm feel to it.
Just as Huo Yuhao was concentrating and preparing to carefully investigate what kind of opportunity was hidden in this Destruction Fragment, his consciousness suddenly wavered without warning.
The feeling was extremely brief; before he could even be surprised, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar space.
This space is extremely peculiar; it seems to have no distinction between up, down, left, or right, no boundary between heaven and earth, and is filled with chaotic nothingness in all directions.
However, this void was not empty; the entire space was filled with two completely different colors.
One is a domineering and tyrannical purplish-black, and the other is the emerald green we just saw.
But this was by no means just two colors. Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that the purplish-black contained the Power of Destruction he had personally experienced before, while the emerald green surged with an extremely rich Life God force.
Destruction God and Life God, these two forces that should be irreconcilable and mutually exclusive, are not in a clear-cut confrontation as he had imagined in this space.
The two forces were like two Entanglement dragons, intersecting, permeating, and merging with each other. A faint emerald light shone through the purplish-black, and within the emerald green, purplish-black threads of light flowed.
They seem to maintain an extremely delicate and fragile balance with each other.
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to explore the space further, a deep voice suddenly rang out.
"The God of Emotions?!"
