Above the multicolored sky of the Douluo God Realm, space suddenly twisted.
A giant dragon covered from head to tail in dark silver scales emerged from the void. It was as though it had always belonged there, fitting seamlessly into space without the slightest incongruity.
Asura God's grip tightened around his sword.
The purple-black Divine Thunder of Destruction around God of Destruction fluctuated involuntarily.
The blood-red light in God of Evil's eyes went out for an instant, beyond his control.
They sensed it most clearly: the dragon was right before them, yet when they probed with their divine power, there was no one there.
Space-Time Dragon God King slowly transformed into human form.
He looked to be a young man in his early thirties, with silver hair falling to his waist and a pair of nine-colored eyes.
He stood silently above the Divine Realm, looking down at the stunned gods below.
The entire Divine Realm fell utterly silent.
No one who had reached godhood was a fool.
The Five Great God Kings of the God Realm Committee stood in a row at the front. They deliberately kept even their breathing quiet, while the First-Level Gods and Second-Level Gods behind them didn't dare release so much as a wisp of divine sense, lest they draw the attention of that silver-gray gaze.
"The Douluo God Realm."
Space-Time Dragon God King spoke. His voice was not loud, yet it rang directly in the depths of every god's soul.
"Even more barren than I expected."
Asura God's expression darkened, but he forced himself not to speak.
As the God Realm Enforcer, his destructive power was unmatched in the Divine Realm. He should have upheld its dignity, but his combat instincts were sounding a frantic warning.
The being before him was on an entirely different level from Dragon God.
The aura of Space-Time Dragon God King was an abyss.
It had no boundaries, no end—only an endless sensation of sinking.
"I come from the Guandu Star Domain."
Space-Time Dragon God King's gaze swept over the gods.
"I govern a God Star and command tens of thousands of planes."
At these words, the gods' expressions changed dramatically.
A God Star!!!
It was a realm that even Dragon God, with all the power of his life, had failed to reach. The entire Douluo God Realm had come from the shattered Dragon Realm.
A God Star! It was the dream of every Divine Realm.
Asura God thought, If what he says is true, then the one before us isn't a God King or a Supreme God, but a mighty being who has transcended the Supreme God Kings.
"Hmph! Don't think you can deceive us."
A deep voice broke the silence.
God of Destruction took a step forward, purple-black Divine Thunder of Destruction swirling around him.
He looked straight at Space-Time Dragon God King, purple light blazing in his eyes. "You say you're the lord of a God Star. May I test you?"
Asura God's expression changed abruptly. "Destruction, don't be reckless!"
God of Destruction didn't back down. He had wielded the authority of destruction for tens of thousands of years. Though taciturn by nature, he couldn't take the safety of the Divine Realm lightly.
God of Destruction attacked.
Divine Thunder of Destruction surged around him with peerless might. He held nothing back in this strike. Knowing his opponent was unfathomable, he unleashed the strongest attack of his life from the very start.
However, Space-Time Dragon God King merely raised one hand.
There was no radiant divine power, no fluctuation of laws, no dazzling phenomenon of any kind.
With an effortless grab, he tore five gashes through space, dark and profound.
The next instant, God of Destruction's entire chest caved in.
He didn't even have time to react before his body was flung away like a kite with its strings cut.
Purple divine blood poured from his mouth. The divine rings behind him dimmed in an instant, almost going out entirely.
The gods saw it clearly: Space-Time Dragon God King hadn't even closed his hand around that grasp.
He had simply waved it lightly before God of Destruction arrived, without the slightest trace of divine power. He casually gathered his fingers, as though batting away a passing mosquito.
If he had wanted to kill God of Destruction, there would now be an empty seat on the God Realm Committee.
"So this is the lord of a God Star—the one who has transcended the Supreme God Kings."
God of Destruction struggled to rise, but in the end could only kneel on one knee, head lowered as he coughed up blood.
His eyes were full of disbelief. That single grasp had not only severely injured his body but made his seat of destruction tremble—a thing that had never happened since he became a god.
"Little Purple!"
Goddess of Life hurried to his side, her vast Life Divine Power soothing God of Destruction.
The Hall of Gods sank into a silence deeper than death.
God of Evil stood frozen, cold sweat running down his forehead. God of Goodness instinctively retreated half a step, while Goddess of Life clenched her skirt so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Space-Time Dragon God King withdrew his hand. He didn't spare God of Destruction even a second glance, as though defeating a God King were nothing more than an everyday occurrence.
"My son has taken a liking to your Douluo Star."
He spoke calmly, as if stating something trivial, but every word carried an unquestionable pressure.
"I sent him here to gain experience. It was his own choice."
"I won't interfere with his growth, nor will I meddle in any affairs of the Douluo God Realm."
Space-Time Dragon God King turned around. Space split open before him, forming a passage that led to the starry sky.
"But there's one thing you'd better remember."
He paused.
"If some blind god dares to interfere with my son's trial..."
Space-Time Dragon God King's voice suddenly turned cold, and his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"I won't hesitate to come to Douluo in person."
"And annihilate the entire Divine Realm."
As the final eight words fell, the passage closed and the dark silver figure vanished.
Yang Teng, who had stood beside him, had disappeared long ago. This wasn't a discussion—it was a notification.
Even after Space-Time Dragon God King had left, that suffocating pressure lingered for a long time, like an invisible sword hanging over every god's head.
Asura God slowly closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
He looked at God of Destruction, then at the spot where Space-Time Dragon God King had vanished. After a long silence, he said only two words.
"Today's matter ends here. Anyone who dares spread rumors..."
"Dies!"
Meanwhile, on Douluo Star, in the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Gu Yuena sat cross-legged at the bottom of the Lake of Life, her silver hair drifting through the water like satin.
Her chest rose and fell faintly. Suddenly, she opened her eyes.
Her purple pupils contracted sharply. Her Dragon God Bloodline was frantically sounding the alarm. A shudder welled up from the depths of her bones—not fear, but absolute suppression from the very source of her bloodline.
"How can his bloodline be a higher level than this king's?"
Gu Yuena clutched her chest and gasped for breath. She felt that oppressive aura, targeting her specifically, rapidly approaching the Star Dou Great Forest. Its speed made her heart tremble.
"This is impossible..."
She muttered to herself, her voice shaking.
Dragon God was already the absolute peak of the dragon race's bloodline. How could there possibly be a dragon bloodline stronger than his in this world?
"My old injuries haven't healed yet. And those gods above..."
The clouds in the sky were torn apart by an invisible force, revealing the clear, azure sky above the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"So this is the Lake of Life? The water's not as good as what I usually drink!"
"Who are you?"
Black scales as dark as ink, a pair of golden eyes, and a golden dragon claw on his right hand.
He was none other than the highest existence of the Soul Beast Clan.
The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, "Di Tian."
Yang Teng glanced at Di Tian. His wings trembled slightly, and deep in his eyes, he had already prepared himself to die at any moment.
"Silver Dragon King! Won't you invite me to sit down?"
