Douluo God Realm, Committee Hall.
The God of Destruction, who had been clamoring to teach the Primordial Immortal Court a lesson and even threatened to smash Willow Deity's trunk with the Destruction Scepter, now stood rooted to the spot, utterly dumbfounded.
Then, a golden beam of light descended from the heavens and enveloped him completely.
"I've been chosen?"
Staring at the golden glow around him, the God of Destruction stood stunned for a full three seconds before finally coming to his senses. A wave of wild elation swept over him.
He threw his head back and roared with laughter. Purple divine power erupted like a volcano, shaking the entire hall:
"Hahahaha! Excellent!"
"Heaven is on my side! It really is on my side!"
“This Seat was just wondering how to get to that world and expose that old woman's lies. I never imagined this Sky Screen would be so perceptive and choose This Seat outright!”
Then the God of Destruction snatched the Destruction Scepter from the table, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
"What Immortal Kings? What Supremes?"
“In this Douluo Universe, This Seat has been invincible for far, far too long. This Seat is lonely.”
“Since that world claims to be higher-dimensional, This Seat will go meet these so-called Immortal King-level powerhouses!”
"I'll show them that a God King's dignity must not be challenged! The whole of Douluo must not be challenged!"
Seeing that the God of Destruction had been chosen, God of Evil beside him sprang to his feet in excitement and gave the God of Destruction a hearty slap on the shoulder.
"Destruction, this is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!"
"That world may be strange, but with your strength, even if you can't sweep the whole world, you'll surely be a ruler in your own corner!"
"Go! Conquer that world! Bring back the head of that so-called Immortal Lord and hang it above the gates of the Divine Realm!"
Asura God still kept his usual cool demeanor, but the faintly upturned corners of his mouth gave away his anticipation.
"Destruction, remember to kill a few more of their so-called geniuses for us. Let that old woman see who the real ants are."
"Don't worry. Leave it to me." At that, Destruction couldn't help licking his lips, his face brimming with fighting spirit.
Only Goddess of Life looked at her husband, so full of confidence, with deep worry in her eyes.
She opened her mouth, wanting to warn him just how dangerous that world was. But amid the feverish excitement all around her, her words seemed so pale and powerless.
"Destruction, you must... come back alive."
In the end, Goddess of Life could only whisper softly as she watched the figure being drawn upward by the beam of light.
Meanwhile, on Douluo Continent, at Shrek Academy.
"It's a God King! The God of Destruction!"
"Oh heavens, even a God King from the Divine Realm has been chosen!"
"Wonderful! Let's see who dares laugh at our Douluo World's system now!"
Watching the purple figure in the Sky Screen, scepter in hand and radiating a terrifying aura of destruction, Dai Mubai and the others—who had been slumped in despair moments earlier—sprang to their feet as though injected with stimulants, their excitement bubbling over.
"Did you see that, you chubby bastard? Xiao Ao! That's a God King!"
"He's the strongest being on Douluo Continent! A true god!"
Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot with excitement, as if he himself had been the one chosen.
"It's settled! This time, it's definitely settled!"
"What Blood Moving Realm? What Primordial Remnant Species? What Immortal Lord? In front of the God King of Destruction, they're all trash!"
"Once the God King of Destruction arrives, that Primordial Immortal Court—and that old woman who humiliated Zhu Zhuqing—will have to kneel and tremble!"
As he spoke, Dai Mubai even bellowed at the sky, hoping the God King would bring Zhu Zhuqing back for him. He didn't even care whether the God of Destruction could hear him.
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun wiped away his tears and snot and joined in the cheering.
"Wonderful! At last, someone can go and avenge us!"
"That world is such a bully!"
"The God King of Destruction has to capture that White Tiger! I'm going to roast it and eat it! And I'll turn that whatever-it-was pig into a suckling pig, too!"
Tang San didn't show as much excitement as the others, but he couldn't help clenching his fists, his eyes flickering.
"A God King-level powerhouse is descending..."
"This will be quite a spectacle."
"With the God King of Destruction's power, even if that world is strong, he should be able to claim a place there, shouldn't he?"
"As long as the God King of Destruction can establish himself there and shatter that world's myth of invincibility, then we... still have hope!"
Elsewhere, in the core region of Star Dou Great Forest.
Unlike the humans' blind optimism, the Soul Beasts' reaction was far more complicated.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a heaven-shaking dragon's roar rang out from the depths of Life Lake.
The lake water churned violently. In the next instant, a beam of silver light shot into the sky.
Within the beam, a woman in a silver gown slowly appeared, her beauty beyond compare.
Her long silver hair fell all the way to her ankles, and her violet eyes seemed to hold a sea of stars. She was noble and cold.
She was the Lord of Spirit Beasts, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena!
"My Lord!"
Seeing the Silver Dragon King awaken, Di Tian immediately dropped to one knee, his expression filled with reverence.
Even the Three-Eyed Golden Lion beside him bowed its head deeply, though it had yet to take human form.
"Rise."
Gu Yuena's voice was as cool as a spring, but her violet eyes remained fixed on the God of Destruction in the Sky Screen.
"I never imagined even those fellows from the Divine Realm would be stirred."
"The God of Destruction..."
"Though I dislike him, I have to admit he is one of the strongest fighters in the Divine Realm."
After a brief pause, Gu Yuena continued, a trace of gravity flashing in her eyes.
"Di Tian, how long do you think he'll survive in that world?"
Di Tian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile.
"My Lord, I don't know. The laws of that world are too powerful..."
"But Destruction is a God King. Perhaps... he can last a day?"
At that, the corners of Gu Yuena's mouth curved into an amused smile.
"A day?"
"I doubt it."
"The laws of that world are far more rigorous, and its energy far more advanced, than we can imagine."
"Destruction may reign supreme in this world, but if he goes there, he might not even get the chance to face that Immortal Lord. One of the Immortal Lord's disciples could probably capture him."
"But..."
As she spoke, Gu Yuena seemed to think of something. She suddenly changed course, a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes.
"It'll be good to have him scout the way."
"I'd like to see just what level our vaunted God Kings are really at in that world."
Just as the entire continent watched with bated breath, everyone eagerly anticipating the God of Destruction slaughtering his way through Perfect World,
an indescribable, terrifying force of suction came from the Sky Screen. The God of Destruction instantly turned into a streak of light and plunged into the giant screen!
The image shifted, and the viewpoint changed.
But this time, it was no longer the Spirit Beast Garden of the Primordial Immortal Court, nor Stone Village, where Tang Hao was.
Instead, it was a crimson land steeped in ominous and eerie energy!
Perfect World, Border Wasteland of the Foreign Realm.
There was no blue sky or white clouds here, only a gloomy, oppressive sky that looked as though it had been dyed in blood.
Not a blade of grass grew across the land. Giant bones and broken weapons littered it everywhere, and an ancient, desolate aura hung over all.
This was not only the Foreign Realm, but also the site of the Immortal King Anlan's lineage!
