"Don't worry." Kong Deming checked Kong Bo's breathing, reassuring his worried guests, as well as Kong Bo's father, Kong Yi, and Ye Fanghua. "Bo'er merely passed out from exhaustion after awakening such a powerful Martial Soul. Just take him back to rest."
Meanwhile, Kong Bo had entered his dream.
"W-where am I?" Kong Bo found himself standing in midair inside the dream. A mask covered his eyes, decorated with a red crescent moon. Behind him, Frost Moon, Eternal Moon, and Red Moon were fixed to a C-shaped metal Soul Tool. Kong Bo could sense its level: it possessed the power of a God King–level Soul Tool, surpassing even a Level 10 Soul Tool. With its help, the power surging through the three moons was perfectly synchronized, allowing Kong Bo to freely wield the strength they bestowed upon him.
He wore a white robe stamped with a pattern, with a beak-shaped pauldron on his left shoulder. A metal glove covered his right hand.
"Am I... not awakening my Martial Soul?" Kong Bo wondered. "How did I end up here? And why am I so powerful?"
The power he felt was overwhelming. Not only that, but he also felt as if he had complete control over the world around him. He sensed that Douluo Planet's atmosphere was shrouded by some kind of force, and beyond that barrier lay a space high in the heavens, right above Douluo Continent.
"So the sky over Douluo Planet is fake, just like Teyvat's," Kong Bo said to himself. "But why am I here? Why am I so powerful? And dressed like this—oh my god, I've actually become the real God of Three Moons?"
"Kong Bo, you scourge of Douluo Planet! Your deranged experiments end here! You actually experimented on Soul Masters. Aren't the Holy Spirit Cult's Soul Masters Soul Masters too?" A familiar voice rang in his ears. "And a sacred relic like the Golden Ancient Tree was destroyed by your hand!"
"That's right, Kong Bo. You really are a bad person!" A second, melodious female voice rang in his ears. "What did Da Ming and Er Ming do wrong? How could you imprison their souls in the frail bodies of those Soul Masters?"
Kong Bo raised his head. Standing opposite him was a man in blue armor, with long blue-gold hair and the Seagod Trident in his hand. Beside him stood a girl in a pink dress. Anyone could tell at a glance that they were Tang San and that rabbit girl.
Two more gods stood beside Tang San. One wore a black robe and hood; the other wore green robes and had a gentle expression. They were clearly the God King of Destruction and the Goddess of Life. Behind Tang San stood the other five members of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Faced with such a formidable lineup, Kong Bo felt no fear at all. He had discovered that his power was immense. Even facing the three God Kings and the other gods before him, he was unafraid.
"Since I really have become the God of Three Moons, then I'll show you what true power looks like." Kong Bo stood in midair with his hands behind his back. "Oh, I never expected the gods high in the heavens to care so much about Douluo Planet. What a pity. The power of the Three Moons is mine. The world should be told: I have arrived!"
Then Kong Bo raised his left hand and pointed it at the sky, gathering the space-manipulating power bestowed by Frost Moon at the tip of his index finger. He slowly dragged it downward, and the Divine Realm's seal over Douluo Planet split open. The entire Divine Realm was laid bare in the sky above Douluo Planet.
"You... you can actually cut through the seal I created!" Seeing this, the God King of Destruction was utterly aghast. The Divine Realm's supposedly impregnable seal had been sliced open by a single stroke of Kong Bo's finger.
Kong Bo suddenly clenched his right hand. Spatial power erupted around him, trapping all the gods within a space he had created. A giant metal hand took shape, with Tang San and the other gods standing in its palm while Kong Bo hovered in midair.
Kong Bo spoke without joy or sorrow. "As a god, I naturally possess the compassion befitting one. I'll show you how you struggle, then drown you in your own fear!"
"Don't even think about it!" Tang San raised the Seagod Trident and cursed furiously. "Kong Bo, I'll rid Douluo Planet of you!"
"Can you?" Kong Bo said coldly. "Descender of the past? The power of the Three Moons is mine. Behold: Falling of the Simulated Moon!" Kong Bo spread his arms. A gigantic phantom Full Moon coalesced above his head, then burst into brilliant light and swallowed Tang San and the others.
"What incredible power! Defend with everything you've got!" Tang San shouted.
At that moment, Kong Bo woke from his dream.
"W-was I just dreaming?" Kong Bo said to himself. "What a strange dream. Can my Three Moons Martial Soul really reach that level—the level where it could take out all the gods of the Divine Realm? That'd be incredible. No wonder it's Dottore's legacy. It really is unbelievably powerful."
Meanwhile, within the Asura Divine Palace in the Divine Realm, Tang San had fallen to the floor, staring at the Disk of Fate in terror. He had just been divining the fate of Douluo Continent and discovered that, apart from the Child of Destiny, another powerful force had descended upon Douluo Planet.
Tang San had then tried to divine the nature of this power, and the result had left him aghast. In the not-too-distant future, a masked man would appear on Douluo Continent, wielding unparalleled power, especially formidable spatial power. He would destroy not only God King Tang, but the entire Divine Realm, which would be swallowed by the plane of Douluo Planet. That man seemed to command the power of the moon.
"No, that can't be right." Tang San's face was stricken with terror. "I worked so hard to become a god. How could I divine a future like this? There must be something wrong with my reading. As for the moon... it seems I'll have to ask the God King of Destruction for help with my research into celestial bodies."
Then Tang San said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, I'm going to pay the God King of Destruction a visit. I'll be right back." With that, Tang San vanished in a flash, tearing through space to reach the God King of Destruction's residence.
"Lord Asura, long time no see." The God King of Destruction looked at Tang San, who had come to visit, and spoke coldly. "What brings you here?"
Tang San's face was pale. "I just divined the future of the Divine Realm. It will be destroyed by someone who commands the power of the moon.
