The Birth of Two Creator Gods

These words

were spoken simultaneously by Mu Baobao in the Inner Court villa, Huo Yuhao in the Outer Court dormitory, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm within the spiritual world... And it truly was so—Tang Buddha Ancestor had orchestrated this entire scheme.

Kyurem, Ultimate Ice, and spiritual power. He had gone to Star Dou Forest more than ten times, either obtaining Soul Rings himself or helping others do so, and he had sensed a similar presence watching him all along.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm... It had to be him. Yet he never had a chance to escape. When Beibei and Tang Ya went to Star Dou Forest, Huo Yuhao deliberately avoided it.

Then the accident happened. What could make every ferocious beast in Star Dou Forest lose a rechargeable battery comparable to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion accelerator? He guessed it was most likely Tang Buddha Ancestor, who had fused Tang Wutong's spiritual consciousness into the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Even if he followed Huo Yuhao there, he probably would not have been able to seize it.

In Peerless Tang Sect, Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotions, had said that all of this was a trap Tang Buddha Ancestor had set to choose a son-in-law and successor. The Valley of Love and Emotion had even brought forth the God of Love to bestow rewards upon them.

What Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had said about that Title Douluo who had been burst apart the first time was merely that he had adapted to the fusion in advance, warming up before becoming Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring.

Electrolux, a remnant soul that had not become a god, had crossed over from Divine Throne to Peerless Tang Sect... That was utterly absurd. Even divine officials and third-class gods could not survive in outer space. Only second-class gods, first-class gods, and God Kings... possessed the ability to roam the cosmos.

Later on, Tang Buddha Ancestor had even threatened the Sun Moon Empire into changing its name to the Heaven Dou Empire, saying that any resistance would be erased outright. It was clear just how much this double-standard God King knew the law and broke it anyway.

But who could blame him? He was already a God King. Goodness and the God of Life had been reduced to mere seeds in order to save the God Realm. Though they had said they would return after ten million years, they still allowed Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena to inherit their positions, cutting off any path of return for them.

Douluo Continent had been born from a God Realm war many tens of thousands of years ago. After countless soul beasts and gods died, their blood had scattered across the land and become the martial souls of today.

For hundreds of thousands of years, it had remained in the age of cold weapons. After Tang Buddha Ancestor took over Asura God's position, it crossed into the interstellar age in just thirty thousand years. One had to know that Di Tian, the Beast God... had existed since the era of the Dragon God.

During the high-tech era of Legend of the Dragon King, Tang Hao became the plane's master, while Ah Yin served as the World Tree's life core. Then the Abyss Plane was drawn in to let Douluo Continent devour its energy and rise another level. By Ultimate Douluo, it had reached the age of interstellar travel, while Peerless Tang Sect's era of firearms had begun when the Sun Moon Continent collided with Douluo Continent.

Could that have been another scheme as well? For Huo Yuhao, Tang Buddha Ancestor had wanted to choose both a son-in-law and an heir. At the same time, he likely had not expected Soul Tools to cause Tang Sect hidden weapons to decline, so he had thought of a way to revive them.

Tang Buddha Ancestor... really was capable of that.

Mu Baobao closed his eyes. The next moment, he arrived in the Sea of Consciousness—or perhaps it could be called the resting place of martial souls. In the Douluo Continent comics, an Evil Eye White Tiger Saint King had lain within Dai Mubai, helping him cheat his way to power.

There stood a bipedal, gray-blue Mechanical Ice Dragon with an icy-blue spiked snout, yellow crown-like horns on its head, and an enormous turbine for a tail. An energy interface rested on its back, making it look like an exceptionally modern Soul Tool.

Above its head floated a long, wedge-shaped object set with stones. This was Kyurem's exclusive item, as well as a sealing artifact forged in Opelucid City of the Unova Region. It could control Kyurem and transform it into White Flame and Dark Black forms, but it required the two stones formed from Zekrom and Reshiram.

Exclusive items were similar to the divine artifacts of Douluo God Realm's gods. Some were inherited from predecessors... while others were forged by oneself. Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia each had their own exclusive items. The Platinum Orb Soul... had been forged by Arceus. Kyogre of the sea, Groudon of the land, and Rayquaza of the sky possessed the red, blue, and green orbs.

They were born from the struggle for condensed natural energy: Xerneas of life, Yveltal of death, Zygarde of Z, Zekrom of ideals, and Reshiram of reality... Though they lacked exclusive items, they possessed the Tree of Life, Cocoon of Destruction, Light Stone, and Dark Stone formed from their own bodies.

Necrozma, the God of Radiance, Lunala, the Moon God, and Solgaleo, the Sun God—their exclusive items were their respective Z-Crystals.

Pokemon needed Technical Machines, and Soul Masters needed Soul Ring skills. Even bloodline Soul Rings like the Blue Silver Emperor... had corresponding secret Technical Machines.

Thinking of this, Mu Baobao looked again at the black and white stones on either side of Kyurem. At first, they had been dull and lightless, but as his strength increased, their glow had gradually intensified. They were like Huo Yuhao's second and second martial souls before he had absorbed Soul Rings and finalized them.

At this rate, hatching was only a matter of time. Then he would possess three martial souls capable of freely unleashing Martial Soul Fusion Skills, with six Ultimate attributes.

The gods of both worlds were also divided into third, second, and first class, as well as God Kings. Ultimate Ice might not have been as powerful as the Ultimate Radiant Sacred Dragon... but as the shell left behind by ideal Zekrom and reality Reshiram, it possessed terrifying fighting spirit and often ran off to challenge the three Swords of Justice.

Ultimate spiritual power, with its dual attributes, directly crushed the Ultimate Radiant Sacred Dragon. The Nine Great Dragon Kings corresponded to the five God Kings. Black Tortoise, White Tiger, Phoenix, Qilin... were originally first-class gods, but because of their defeat in the God Realm war, they became second-class gods.

In other words, Ma Hongjun, the Phoenix God, had originally been a first-class god, but he had simply been born at the wrong time.

Even if the Dragon Kings recovered their divine positions, they would only be first-class gods, equal in rank to the first-class gods of the Pokemon World. The Unova Dragon God Kyurem in its three-in-one form and Necrozma, the God of Radiance, were likely God Kings as well. Moreover, their divine positions had arisen naturally, which meant that even if he could not find gods to inherit from, he would still have a chance to create divine positions himself.

He would have an even greater chance of advancing into a God King. Reality, Evil; ideals, Goodness; fighting spirit, spiritual power; ice, fire, and lightning... With six Ultimate attributes, he could absolutely bring the ferocious beasts of the Sun Moon Evil Demon Forest, Star Dou Forest, and Far North Ice Plains... that entire bunch, into ascension in the God Realm.

The Pokemon World, Douluo Continent, and the God Realm... all possessed remarkably similar legends.

Creator God Arceus had been born from an egg amid the chaos of the Pokemon universe. It created the Pokemon World, and fragments of its eggshell became Plates.

Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina were also administrators created by Arceus, controlling time, space, and antimatter respectively.

To preserve the Pokemon World's ecological balance, Kyogre was born in the deep-sea trenches, Groudon in underground magma, and Rayquaza from minerals in the ozone layer. The conflict between Kyogre and Groudon formed continent after continent.

Lugia was born from ocean currents, Ho-Oh from the currents of the sky, and as life continuously emerged and died, Xerneas, the Y God of life, Yveltal, the X God of death, and Zygarde, the Z God, maintained the world's balance.

The world needed light, so Necrozma, the God of Radiance, Solgaleo, the Sun God, and Lunala, the Moon God, appeared... Regigigas dragged the continents into place, forming the various regions.

This... was Pokemon's creation myth.

The Dragon God had likewise been born from chaos. Perhaps its original form had also been an egg. It later created the Dragon God Realm and bestowed the various attributes in its bloodline upon the Nine Great Dragon Kings: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, time...

The Dragon God opened the God Realm, allowing gods from every major galaxy to join the Dragon God Realm. At its peak, there were eighteen God Kings controlling ten great star systems.

In order to advance further and evolve the Dragon God Realm into a divine star, the Dragon God held a grand ceremony. Yet it was betrayed by the Time Dragon King and Space Dragon King. The Dragon God fell into madness, triggering the God Realm war and leading all beast gods in an attack against Asura God and the others.

That was the Dragon God legend... Yet the God Realm legend was utterly ridiculous. After the Creator God created the God Realm, it transformed into five seeds. Following countless years of taking root and sprouting, they grew into Goodness, Evil, Life, Destruction, and Asura—the five God Kings of the Douluo God Realm!

The Dragon God had created its own divine position and ascended from Douluo Continent into the God Realm, but refused to submit to restrictions. It joined forces with other soul beasts and started a war, only to be defeated by the five God Kings!

While gravely injured, it forcibly split into the Golden Dragon King, which inherited its powerful body, immense strength, imperviousness to weapons, and incredible speed, and the Silver Dragon King, which inherited its nine elemental powers.

The Golden Dragon King was sealed in the Douluo God Realm, while the Silver Dragon King took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the God Realm, plunging into the turbulent currents of space-time and arriving on Douluo Continent. From that point onward, the God Realm no longer allowed any beast to become a god.

Mu Baobao thought that was quite a slick maneuver. Not only did it erase their own act of usurping another's nest, but it also blackened the Dragon God's achievements in every possible way. It was a match for Tang Buddha Ancestor, who smashed the bowl after eating his fill and tore down the bridge after crossing it...

Clearly, after creating the God Realm, the Dragon God had allowed humans to enter it regardless of race. Humans were exceptionally gifted, and God King-level experts gradually emerged among them. Many beast gods had advised the Dragon God that allowing human gods to continue developing would affect its position.

The Dragon God had merely reduced the number of human gods; it had not revoked humanity's right to become gods.

That showed just how benevolent it had been.

Mu Baobao now even suspected that the betrayal of the Time Dragon King and Space Dragon King had been orchestrated by human gods. The surviving beast gods had automatically dropped one rank, while the beast gods who had been God Kings could not possibly have survived.

Humans would never permit any race to threaten their ruling position. They were also a race that had never been willing to remain beneath others for long.

In that battle, blood had spilled across Douluo Continent. Humans gained martial souls, while animals mutated into soul beasts.

"So, Brother Sky Dream, are you leaving me?"

At that moment, Huo Yuhao stared blankly as he asked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. With his help, Huo Yuhao had gone from a useless person with an innate level-two mutated martial soul to the possessor of three martial souls. If Sky Dream Ice Silkworm left, would he not become useless again and be expelled from school?

"I'd like to, but back then, I separated my power and sealed it within your Sea of Consciousness. If I forcibly leave now, not only would I be unable to take away my origin power, I would die as well... I've accepted my fate. I can only do my best to raise you into a god, so you brat had better work hard and not make me regret this."

"Isn't that how life is? The things you want to choose always run contrary to the people or things fate chooses for you..."

Upon hearing that, Huo Yuhao was instantly delighted that he would not have to become useless again. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm raised his head and saw his brilliantly sunny smile.

Tears one moment, laughter the next—he immediately pinned him down and began pounding him. I'm this heartbroken, and you're grinning so happily.

You heartless brat.
