Turmoil in the Divine Realm, the Dragon God Revives (Continued)
She was a stunningly beautiful woman with long, cherry-red and silver-white hair, adorned with delicate silver ornaments that swayed gently with her steps.
What is most striking are the pair of fox ears on her head that appear and disappear, resembling semi-transparent clouds, and the nine fox tails behind her that are sometimes real and sometimes ethereal, sometimes like drifting smoke and sometimes like the trailing hem of a gorgeous skirt.
She is Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Daji.
At this moment, she was beautiful beyond the boundaries of the mortal world, like a fairy from an ancient legend. Every smile, every gesture, naturally exuded a captivating charm.
She didn't even need to deliberately use her Soul Skill; simply walking on the road was enough to make everyone who saw her stop in their tracks, forgetting their original purpose, with only that breathtakingly beautiful figure in their eyes.
This was only because Daji deliberately suppressed her alluring aura.
It was precisely this innate and captivating charm that led her to be chosen by the Lust God at a young age as his successor.
The subsequent Lust God's Trial were a smooth road for Daji.
She possessed exceptional talent, the Spirit Hall provided incredibly abundant resources, and her divine position was a perfect match for her, resulting in a smooth completion. Coupled with the various rewards brought by the divine trial, her rate of strength improvement was terrifying.
Among the many heroes who were "summoned," apart from Donghuang Taiyi, whose whereabouts are a mystery and whose status is unknown, she can be said to be the one who is closest to becoming a god.
However, at this moment, when faced with the final Ninth Trial from the Lust God, a look of speechlessness appeared on Daji's stunningly beautiful face.
These gods... they're really too inconsiderate.
The divine test was designed to force her to betray the Spirit Hall and help Tang San, who harbored a deep hatred for the Spirit Hall!
Daji was nurtured and raised by the Spirit Hall with all its resources; for her to betray the Spirit Hall would be disloyal and unjust!
However, for an ordinary Soul Master, giving up this readily available divine position would undoubtedly be a choice that would lead to lifelong regret and heart-wrenching pain.
but...
That applies to ordinary people.
Daji... doesn't care!
She has so much "love." Every moment, countless people are captivated by her charm and are willing to give everything for her.
This immense and pure power of faith and emotion is itself a great resource.
Even if she loses her position as a goddess of lust, Daji has absolute confidence and ability to create a higher and more suitable divine position for herself in the future, based on the faith and understanding of the rules gathered by her own charm!
Thus, under the puzzled gazes of the Lust God and the Rakshasa God, Daji did not take any action regarding the content of this final divine test. She continued her daily cultivation as usual, as if the crucial divine test did not exist.
Her choice is not an isolated case.
Having Xiang Yu the tests of both the Pride God and the God of Light, Xiang Yu was completely unconcerned. His own pride and power were his creed, and if the gods' demands contradicted his will, then he might as well not have the divine position.
The other five divine testers who inherited the Seven Deadly Sins Gods reacted in much the same way.
They may crave power, but the years of training they received from the Spirit Hall (Qian Xunji's brainwashing), coupled with their own pride, make them utterly incapable of betraying their cause.
······································
"Are they... insane?!"
Witnessing the fact that the people of the Spirit Hall in the lower realm were unmoved by the temptation of the divine test, and even showed a hint of disdain, Rakshasa God was unusually shocked and incomprehensible.
She couldn't imagine that there were Soul Master in the world who could refuse the opportunity to become gods!
They didn't just give up ordinary Soul Ring and Soul Bone, they gave up divine trials!
It is the ladder to eternity and supreme power!
How could anyone give up on the divine examination?
This completely contradicts her understanding of human greed!
But this incredible thing actually happened right before her eyes.
Under these circumstances, the Rakshasa God's Trial she set for Tang San was simply impossible to complete.
The Divine Realm can no longer interfere with the mortal realm.
This means that her divine status... cannot be passed on!
This thought disturbed her.
Before she could even sort out her thoughts and plan her next step...
"Boom!!!!!!!"
A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the Divine Realm, as if the entire Divine Realm trembled with its thunderous sound!
The loud noise instantly attracted the attention of all the gods in the Divine Realm, who all looked in astonishment toward the source of the sound.
That's the place where the Golden Dragon King was sealed!
The Golden Dragon King, which had been dormant for countless years and sealed and suppressed by layers of divine power, suddenly unleashed an unprecedentedly violent force, frantically ramming against the seal!
The solid seal, jointly erected by the Five Great God Kings, groaned under the relentless assault of the Golden Dragon King, its light flashing violently, and tiny cracks could even be faintly seen spreading!
If this trend continues, the seal will be completely broken in no time!
"Oh no! Quickly reinforce the seal!" a deity exclaimed.
The Asura God reacted the fastest, appearing at the forefront of the sealed land in a flash. Behind him, the other four God Kings of the God Realm Committee — the Godess of Kindness, the Evil God, the Life Goddess, and the God of Destruction —followed closely behind.
On the issues of dealing with the Golden Dragon King, the Dragon Clan, and Soul Beast, the Five Great God Kings have always maintained a united stance and worked together against external threats, without ever having any disagreements.
Without the slightest hesitation, the five god-kings simultaneously mobilized their immense divine power. Five beams of light, each a different color but all containing the fundamental laws of the universe, enveloped the precarious seal like a net, intending to reinforce it once again.
However, before their divine power could land on the seal—
"Roar--!!!"
A dragon's roar resounded throughout the universe!
"Crack... Boom!!!"
The seal is broken!
A colossal golden dragon, its body shimmering with dazzling golden light, suddenly burst forth from the shattered seal! It stretched its powerful dragon form, radiating a terrifying pressure that would suffocate even ordinary gods.
However, to the surprise of all the gods, the Golden Dragon King, which broke free of its seal, did not even glance at the gods who were about to attack it. It even allowed the colorful and powerful divine light attacks to fall on its golden dragon scales, making loud banging noises, but only a few sparks were splashed up, and it was completely unharmed!
Its gaze was fixed on a distant direction, its enormous dragon eyes filled with urgency, longing, and an indescribable sense of belonging!
It seemed to have sensed some supreme calling, and wanted to go there at all costs!
This even made him overlook the gods he loathed and hated most.
"Stop him!" The Asura God instantly realized a terrifying possibility and shouted sharply.
At the same time, he unhesitatingly unleashed his Super Divine Artifact — the Asura Divine Sword!
A crimson sword light tore through space, carrying the laws of judgment and slaughter, piercing straight for the Golden Dragon King's back!
This sword strike would have been enough to cause substantial damage to the Golden Dragon King in the past.
But this time, another anomaly has occurred!
Just before the Asura Divine Sword was about to touch the Golden Dragon King's scales, the sword trembled violently and emitted a cheerful and clear hum!
Immediately afterwards, it forcibly broke free from the control of the Asura God, transforming into a streak of blood-red light. Instead of attacking the Golden Dragon King, it acted as a loyal guardian, blocking the divine light that was heading towards the Golden Dragon King, and flew away alongside the Golden Dragon King into the distance!
The Asura God's expression changed drastically. He felt that the connection between himself and the Asura Divine Sword had been forcibly severed by an even more ancient and primordial power!
"The Asura Divine Sword..." he murmured to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief, "... has changed hands!"
No...
To be precise, it was returned to its rightful owner!
At the same time, the other four god-kings were also horrified to discover that when they tried to mobilize their divine power to stop them, their own divine power experienced an unprecedented sense of stagnation!
What terrified them even more was that the divine power they had painstakingly obtained and forcibly integrated by modifying their own personalities was now emitting a subtle yet clear sense of rejection!
The gazes of the five god-kings met in the air, and they all saw the same shock, bewilderment, and a trace of fear buried deep in their hearts and never shown to anyone else in each other's eyes.
They said nothing, yet instantly understood the terrible suspicion in each other's hearts:
He... is coming back?!
The power they stole, modified, and seized is being reclaimed by its original owner!
The divine examination must be expedited...
······································
With the Golden Dragon King breaking the seal and the Asura Divine Sword changing hands, the Asura God undoubtedly suffered the most severe losses in this battle.
Having lost the Super Divine Artifact, the Asura Divine Sword, his strength plummeted. If it weren't for his profound foundation and accumulation far exceeding that of ordinary God Kings, he probably wouldn't even have been able to maintain his position as God King.
However, at this moment, neither he nor the entire God Realm Committee had the mind to concern themselves with this "mere" loss of strength.
The Golden Dragon King's seal was broken abruptly, the Asura Divine Sword went out of control, his own divine power stagnated, and his divine essence was rejected... This series of anomalies undoubtedly confirmed that their most unwillingly believed guess was true!
The race that once ruled the Divine Realm and dominated an era has revived, and may even be returning!
What terrified them even more was that even though the Dragon God had long since perished, split, and remained silent for so long, He could still so easily control the power that had split off from His origin.
This absolute control over the source of power instilled in these god-kings, who had ascended to the top through inheritance or even "tampering" with their divine positions, a fear that emanated from their very souls.
At this moment, they only wished that their chosen successor could immediately jump several levels, instantly break through level 100, and fully inherit the divine position, so that they could escape in time and leave the Divine Realm.
··········································
Meanwhile, in the distant Dragon Horse Galaxy...
Unlike the unease in the Divine Realm, this place presents a primitive and wild scene, but within this wildness lies an eerie sense of forced transformation and orderly order.
When they first arrived on this planet, it was still an uncivilized and barbaric land.
However, a powerful figure like Donghuang Taiyi never complains about the environment, because he will directly transform the environment into the way he wants it to be.
Before him stood an enormous altar.
The altar was not made of ordinary stone, but rather constructed from countless strange crystals shimmering with energy and the enormous skeleton of some kind of creature, exuding an aura of vast antiquity.
On the altar, a small mountain of treasures, radiating rich energy fluctuations and the aura of the Dragon Clan blood, were piled up. These were all materials for the resurrection of the dragon Dragon Clan, carefully cultivated by Donghuang Taiyi over the past few years using the special environment and resources of Dragon Horse Planet.
Above the altar, an enormous golden dragon soul phantom was coiled and hovering!
It is not a physical entity, yet it is as solid as a real dragon, with each scale clearly visible, radiating an aura that commands the submission of all things.
The dragon soul was emitting deep, long roars.
This dragon's roar was not a simple howl, but more like a summons that traversed endless galaxies, containing a specific frequency and the power of laws.
