Xia Linyuan wasn't a native of the Douluo World. His incarnation's formidable power had also reached the limit the Douluo World could contain, so he naturally wasn't restricted by Douluo Planet.
The Douluo God Realm looked like a gigantic, multicolored sphere. Inside was a special space formed from the thoughts of the living beings on the planet.
From far away, they could see the multicolored sphere that housed the gods of the Douluo Universe.
Without Xia Linyuan needing to say a word, Carlos suddenly beat his dragon wings. In an instant, he crossed a distance of more than ten thousand miles and plunged into the Douluo God Realm.
The moment they entered the Douluo God Realm, Xia Linyuan couldn't help raising an eyebrow.
He had noticed that when Spirit Masters on Douluo Planet cultivated, they absorbed the world's primordial energy, and when the "gods" of the Douluo God Realm cultivated, they still absorbed that same energy.
At most, the primordial energy in the Douluo God Realm was tens or hundreds of times denser and purer than the energy on Douluo Planet. In essence, however, it was still the same.
"So the so-called Gods of the Douluo World are nothing more than people with infinite lifespans." Xia Linyuan's lips curled slightly, revealing a cold smile. "Can beings like that really be called gods? I find it unexpectedly amusing."
That wasn't all. Xia Linyuan also clearly sensed a certain power of law in the Douluo God Realm, restraining something.
After sensing it more closely, Xia Linyuan murmured, "It seems that not only are Douluo's Gods still confined to the bounds of humanity, but even this God Realm is merely a cage meant to seal the gods of Douluo."
"Even though they know the God Realm is a cage, and godhood itself is a shackle, some people treat their godhood like trash and can't wait to cast it aside, while others casually give the godhood of other Gods to their own family, yet can't bring themselves to relinquish their own even by taking their own lives."
Xia Linyuan chuckled, then spread his divine sense outward. He soon found the aura of the Golden Dragon King, but...
His golden eyes narrowed slightly. Xia Linyuan patted Carlos on the horn.
Carlos understood and flew off in a certain direction.
Carlos's enormous body streaked across the sky, its shadow flashing past, but the God Officials and God Hunters below acted as if they saw and heard nothing.
At the top level of the God Realm Committee.
"Third Brother, do we really have to do this?"
In a warmly decorated room, a beautiful, graceful woman looked at the sleeping girl on the bed and asked, unable to bear the thought.
"Alas." The man in blue sighed. "Xiao Wu, I don't want our child to suffer like this either. But Xiao Ba inherited only my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. If she cultivates only that Martial Soul, she won't be able to protect herself at all during the future God Realm Catastrophe."
"Xiao Wu, I'm your husband, and I'm also Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba's father. I want to stay by your side forever, too. But I'm also a God Realm Enforcer. When the time comes, I'll have to be at the forefront and lead everyone through the crisis. I'll barely be able to look after myself then, let alone protect Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba."
"Xiao Wu, I promise you: if our family can get through this God Realm Catastrophe safely, I'll pass on my godhood to a new successor, then take you all to see the customs and cultures of other planets. All right?"
Xiao Wu still couldn't bear it. "But, but that's the God Core containing all of the Golden Dragon King's essence! Xiao Ba is so little! Can she really withstand the Golden Dragon King's power?"
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu," Tang San reassured her. "Xiao Ba was blessed by the Goddess of Life when she was born. After I inject the Golden Dragon King's essence into her body, I'll use divine blood to place eighteen seals on her. As long as Xiao Ba can't come into contact with divine power, nothing will go wrong."
"But where in the God Realm could we..." Xiao Wu seemed to realize something and abruptly stopped speaking. She stared at Tang San in disbelief. "Third Brother, could it be that you're planning to...?"
A meaningful smile appeared on Tang San's face. "Xiao Qi has always been clamoring to visit Douluo Continent, hasn't she? We can use this opportunity to send both Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba to Douluo Continent. That way, the two of us can enjoy some time alone together."
"But, Third Brother, we still haven't figured out what caused that strange phenomenon six days ago. Wouldn't it be dangerous to send Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba to Douluo Continent now?"
"Don't worry." Tang San's eyes brimmed with affection. "Da Ming and Er Ming are still on Douluo Continent, aren't they? With their strength, the only ones on the continent who can compare to them are Di Tian and the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign. With them secretly protecting Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, nothing will happen to them."
As he spoke, Tang San turned toward the serene girl on the bed. He sighed and murmured, "When the Butterfly God wanted to leave the God Realm, I secured the Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul and the Butterfly God godhood for Xiao Qi. But there are far too few Gods who want to leave the God Realm. If I could secure a more suitable Second Martial Soul and godhood for Xiao Ba, I wouldn't have secretly schemed to sabotage the Golden Dragon King's seal, then relied on the other four God Kings to kill him so I could collect his essence for Xiao Ba."
"Xiao Ba, don't blame Dad. I'm doing this for you, and for the good of our family. You'll understand why I had to do it, won't you?"
As Tang San murmured, he raised his right hand. A dazzling golden light, filled with a desire to destroy, appeared in his palm.
He brought the golden light to the girl's brow. It immediately transformed into a streak of light and shot into her forehead with a chirp.
As the golden light entered her body, the sleeping girl furrowed her delicate brows. Her porcelain-doll face twisted with pain, her little features nearly contorting from the agony.
"Mom, Dad, Xiao Ba hurts so much," the girl murmured unconsciously.
Hearing the girl's words, Xiao Wu couldn't stop her tears from falling, while Tang San beside her didn't even furrow his brow.
At that very moment, outside the window of the room at the top level of the God Realm Committee, a pair of golden eyes witnessed everything.
Was this person not Xia Linyuan?
"Carlos." Xia Linyuan gave a low laugh. "I didn't expect us to arrive just in time to witness such a heartwarming scene."
As he spoke, Xia Linyuan reached into the void and grabbed. A streak of light, seemingly filled with countless afterimages, instantly coalesced in his hand into a clear blue crystal ball.
Xia Linyuan's thoughts stirred.
"Third Brother, do we really have to do this?" Xiao Wu's voice, full of reluctance, came from the light.
At the same time, the crystal ball displayed the scene of Tang San and Xiao Wu's conversation moments earlier.
With another thought, Xia Linyuan stopped the sound and images in the crystal ball.
