Outside Nuoding City, on the hillside behind Holy Soul Village, the first light of dawn pierced through the thin mist, spilling over a small figure.

Tang San sat cross-legged, his eyes narrowed slightly as a purple glow swirled within them; he was practicing the Purple Crystal Demon Eye.

Suddenly, an imperceptible streak of light fell from the horizon, piercing the center of his brow like a fine needle with pinpoint accuracy.

Tang San's entire body stiffened, his gaze instantly turning dazed, his pupils unfocused as if his soul had been ripped away.

In his mind, countless images surged like a tidal wave—the magnificent palaces of the Great God Circle, the brilliant stars of the divine realm, the supreme glory of the dual-god inheritance, the majesty of the Seagod Trident, the murderous aura of the Asura Demon Sword, and...

That sword! A world-destroying strike that ground all prosperity into dust.

He reached out his hand, seemingly trying to grasp something, but caught only emptiness; his lips moved unconsciously, spilling out broken syllables.

A few breaths later, the confusion suddenly faded. Tang San opened his eyes abruptly, his purple-gold pupils churning with turbulent waves—there was unwillingness, anger, pain, and even a trace of relief at having survived a catastrophe.

He stood up slowly and looked toward Holy Soul Village at the foot of the mountain, where cooking smoke curled upward. His silhouette appeared exceptionally lonely in the morning light, yet it radiated an unyielding, upright posture.

"Sigh, who would have thought..." he murmured, his voice too hoarse for a child nearing six years of age.

"I, Tang San, inherited the dual-god legacy, exhausted every scheme to promote the Seagod position to God King, laid out several ten-thousand-year plans, and saw my children and grandchildren hold high positions in the divine realm. The Great God Circle flourished in my hands, and I became the King of God Kings..."

"But because of that sword, just a single sword, everything is gone!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, his eyes erupting with intense hatred: "I am not reconciled! I obtained everything I wanted, why did it end like this? Why!"

The roar echoed through the valley, carrying heart-wrenching pain and startling a flock of birds into flight.

Half an incense stick of time passed quietly, and the baleful aura around Tang San gradually receded, his eyes becoming as calm as a deep pool.

He could clearly feel two faint yet pure seeds dormant within his body—they were the seeds of the Seagod and Asura God positions!

He immediately mobilized his spiritual power, cautiously striking at the two seeds of godhood.

"Hum—"

A wisp of warm divine power overflowed from the seeds, instantly flowing through his entire body. Wherever it passed, his muscles and bones emitted faint, crisp sounds; his body felt as if it were being reforged, filled with explosive power.

He spread his hands, and the pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer and the emerald-green Blue Silver Grass appeared simultaneously, hovering over his palms.

The Blue Silver Grass greedily absorbed the escaping divine power, a faint silver light shimmering on its emerald leaves as it grew thick and upright at a speed visible to the naked eye, evolving directly into the Blue Silver King!

Yet, just as it reached the peak of its evolution, it seemed bound by an invisible shackle, missing only the final step to transform into the Blue Silver Emperor.

Tang San understood—this was because his mother, Ah Yin, was still present; only by reaching the Blue Silver Forest could he break this shackle.

At the same time, the soul power within his body surged like a broken levee, shattering the bottleneck of level ten and skyrocketing all the way to level twenty!

The surging power made him tilt his head back, feeling the agitation flowing through his blood.

"So be it. Since I have lived a second life and possess the dual-god seeds, in this life, I will surely surpass my previous one!" A look of determination flashed in Tang San's eyes.

"That sword, I will definitely be able to block it! I definitely can!"

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, in an exquisite courtyard, Ning Rongrong sat on a stone stool, staring blankly at her fair, delicate little hands.

Sunlight filtered through the carved window lattice, casting mottled light and shadows on the back of her hands.

"To think... I am actually still alive," she whispered to herself.

"Returned to when I was over five years old, before I had even awakened my martial soul..."

This time, she would never be as willful as in her past life, and she would never again miss those who were important to her.

She took a deep breath, and with a thought, the sleeping seed of godhood within her was quietly activated.

A soft light overflowed from her body and hovered over her palm—it was a small, exquisite glazed pagoda, crystal clear and surprisingly nine stories high!

The power of the godhood seed directly mended the defects of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, allowing it to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda ahead of time!

Soul power surged like a spring, instantly reaching the level of Innate Full Soul Power. However, she could feel that because there was only one seed of godhood, this was the limit.

Ning Rongrong stroked the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her palm, her expression complex: "I'm sorry, Xiao Ao... In this life, I want to try on my own first."

In the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, inside the prince's bedchamber, Dai Mubai sat up abruptly from his bed, his eyes filled with excitement.

He couldn't help but laugh in a low voice, his laughter growing louder until it turned into a wild cackle: "Haha! Who would have thought! I have actually been reborn! With the War God inheritance in my possession, in this life, who else but me!"

But that wild joy was quickly replaced by calmness.

He activated the seed of godhood within him, and his soul power surged instantly, breaking through directly to level twenty.

However, the moment he thought of his elder brother, Dai Weisi, a trace of wariness flashed in his eyes—Dai Weisi was a few years older than him and already possessed soul power above level thirty!

If he were to discover his secret, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"No, I am still too weak right now; I must avoid the limelight," Dai Mubai quickly made a decision, his eyes turning sharp. "I must leave the palace first!"

In another palace not far away, Zhu Zhuqing stood by the window, looking in the direction of Dai Mubai, her pupils filled with hesitation.

Must the entanglements of the previous life be repeated in this one? She clenched her fists gently, but eventually turned and melted into the shadows.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, beside the Lake of Life, a Soft Bone Rabbit about a zhang long was lying on the grass, basking in the sun.

It opened its eyes abruptly, its ruby-like pupils filled with terror and confusion, which were immediately replaced by wild joy.

"I... I have been reborn?" The Soft Bone Rabbit shook its head, and after confirming it wasn't a hallucination, it immediately hopped up and ran toward the center of the Lake of Life.

"No, I must transform quickly! I have to go find my San~ brother!" Its childish voice was filled with urgency, each leap covering several zhang.

In a simple dormitory at Shrek Academy, Oscar sat up abruptly from his bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes. As he looked at the familiar, dilapidated wooden bed, the patched quilt, and smelled the scent of sweat in the air, his gaze instantly froze.

"The Great God Circle... is gone..." he muttered to himself, his eyes filled with desolation as he slumped back onto the bed, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Those days spent fighting side by side with his companions, those moments of laughter and joy in the God Realm, had all become nothing more than smoke and mirrors.

"No! I cannot just give up like this!" Oscar clenched his fists tightly, a fighting spirit reigniting in his eyes.

"I have returned to Shrek, and I still carry the Seed of Godhood of the Food God! I must cultivate, I must become stronger!"

He immediately activated the Seed of Godhood, and his original level fifteen soul power soared like a rocket, breaking through to level twenty in just a few breaths!

He walked to the window and gazed into the distance, his eyes firm: "Rongrong, wait for me. I will wait for you at Shrek Academy, and we shall start over!"

In a dilapidated thatched cottage in Wild Chicken Village outside Suotuo City, Ma Hongjun jumped up from the floor, slapping his thigh and laughing wildly: "Haha! I am invincible!"

But as he laughed, he suddenly covered his mouth, looked around vigilantly, and lowered his voice: "No, I am still too weak right now. I must find my teacher and seek his protection!"

He scratched his head, struggling to recall: "At this point in time, Teacher should be in... Suotuo City?"

"In my previous life, I failed to inherit the position of the Fire God and had to settle for the Beast God Phoenix. In this life, since I have been reborn with the Seed of Godhood of the Beast God Phoenix, I must ensure it returns to the rank of God King!"

Ma Hongjun's eyes burned with intensity as he tightened his grip: "You must know, this godhood once belonged to the Beast God Phoenix, a God King-level existence with infinite potential! It must not be wasted!"

ps: Seed of Godhood, the initial condensed state of a godhood. It can merge with this world to form the corresponding godhood.

It carries a trace of divine power, which can be consumed and replenished. It can advance along with the soul master's progression. For every level gained, the divine power storage of the Seed of Godhood increases by one percent. After reaching the quasi-god stage, one can use their own energy to refine the Seed of Godhood to its highest level and condense a new godhood.
