The Divine Realm, the God Realm Committee.
Sea God Tang San sat cross-legged with his eyes closed inside the God Realm Committee. Before him stood the very core that governed the entire Divine Realm.
His handsome face had been as calm as still water, but suddenly he opened his eyes. His blue pupils contracted slightly.
Just moments ago, his divine sense had detected an immensely powerful surge of fortune rising from the direction of Douluo Continent. Its strength had even shaken him, a God King. This aura was even more powerful than that of the Plane's Daughter he had discovered on Douluo Continent not long ago.
Tang San furrowed his brow slightly, then relaxed it.
His divine sense pierced layer upon layer of clouds and descended toward Douluo Continent, but all he saw was chaos—the heavenly secrets were obscured. He could only make out the vague silhouette of a boy standing amid seven-colored light.
Interesting. Tang San's lips curled slightly. His daughter Xiao Qi had recently descended to Douluo Continent to travel. He had been worrying over how to turn the Tang Sect's decline around, and now this boy had appeared. It seemed the boy was fated to join the Tang Sect.
Having made up his mind, Tang San did not hesitate. He raised his hand and lightly swept it through the air. A ripple of pale-blue divine power spread out, and he left several messages within it using his divine sense. Then he flicked his fingertips, sending the messages shooting toward several specific destinations.
Tang San pondered for a moment, remembering the measures he had put in place for his daughter Xiao Qi. He took out several items and studied them briefly. They then turned into streaks of light and flew toward Douluo Continent.
Tang San's lips curled slightly.
But just then, the sky across the entire Divine Realm changed abruptly.
Tang San's whole body trembled, disbelief filling his handsome face.
"No, this can't be. How could this happen?"
"Vmmm, vmmm—" Two deep vibrations rang out. The entire Divine Realm began to quake.
"Sea God, what's going on? The Divine Realm's core is in your hands, isn't it? How could you have failed to notice such a massive space-time turbulence approaching?" A purple figure suddenly appeared inside the God Realm Committee. It was God of Destruction, who questioned Tang San in fury and alarm.
"I'm not entirely sure either. Until just now, I hadn't detected any disturbance in the Divine Realm's core. I only sensed it when the space-time turbulence drew near," Tang San replied with a bitter smile.
In the distance, three figures arrived one after another: God of Evil Ji Dong, God of Goodness Lie Yan, and Goddess of Life.
"Xiao Zi, there's no point questioning Sea God now. The most urgent thing is to summon the gods, especially the Seven Sin Gods and Seven Element Gods, and have them form the Sin God Descent Divine Punishment Array and the Elemental God Descent Divine Punishment Array. We need to weather this crisis together," Goddess of Life advised at once.
God of Goodness and God of Evil, the married couple, nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Tang San immediately activated the Divine Realm's core. "I've notified all the gods. They're on their way. From what I can sense, this space-time turbulence is far greater than the one recorded in the Divine Realm's history."
The Five Great God Kings quickly brought the Divine Realm's core to the top floor of the God Realm Committee.
Tang San inserted the Divine Realm's core into a cylindrical platform. A vast screen of light unfolded, showing countless points of light flying toward the God Realm Committee.
"We must first concentrate our strength to weaken the space-time turbulence. If we face it head-on, the Divine Realm could be wiped out entirely," God of Destruction said quickly after sensing the turbulence.
Just then, the Seven Sin Gods and Seven Element Gods arrived at the God Realm Committee. Many other gods had also gathered outside.
"Seven Element Gods and Seven Sin Gods, form your arrays immediately to resist the space-time turbulence. All other gods, be ready to pour your divine power into us. The five of us will take turns using the Divine Realm's core to channel divine power against the turbulence." After assigning them their tasks, God of Evil gathered with the others around the Divine Realm's core and poured in his divine power to protect the Divine Realm.
But despite the Divine Realm's desperate efforts, the turbulence was far stronger than they had expected. When it finally shed its outer layer, revealing the dazzling silver at its core, all five God Kings were horrified. It was an immense force of space. Like a colossal beast, the space-time turbulence swallowed the Divine Realm whole.
"Quick, raise the barrier with all your might!" God of Destruction roared.
Then a streak of silver light flashed and vanished.
In the end, the Divine Realm was swept away by the enormous force of space.
Before he was carried away, Tang San glared furiously in the direction of Douluo Continent. "Damn space-time turbulence! You've ruined my plans. You deserve to die."
Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest on Douluo Continent, Gu Yuena suddenly stopped. She raised her head and looked up at the sky.
"Sister Nana, what's wrong?" Lin Shuo noticed Gu Yuena's unusual behavior, stopped, and looked up at her.
Gu Yuena pondered for a long time, then closed her eyes and sensed the surroundings.
"The Divine Realm has vanished."
Six years later.
"Tian Meng, how's it going? Is your million-year heavenly tribulation almost here?" Lin Shuo asked casually, fiddling with the Gold of Life in his hand before kicking Tian Meng.
"Your Majesty, you truly have eyes as sharp as pearls. Nothing can escape your notice." Tian Meng Ice Silkworm took the kick, his obsequious expression growing even more pronounced.
That was right, Your Majesty. Ever since Lin Shuo's Martial Soul Awakening six years ago, Gu Yuena had announced before all the Ferocious Beasts that Lin Shuo would become the future Lord of Soul Beasts. In the entire world of Soul Beasts, even Gu Yuena's status was not as exalted as his.
The Gold of Life in his hand was something he had come across by chance in the Star Dou Great Forest not long ago. One day, Lin Shuo had happened upon a group of Golden Tortoises and suddenly remembered the ten-thousand-year Golden Tortoise from the original story that had swallowed the Gold of Life. He casually told the Ferocious Beasts at Lake of Life about it. Sure enough, a few days later, they successfully caught that Golden Tortoise and separated the Gold of Life from its body. Gu Yuena then gave the piece of Gold of Life to Lin Shuo.
"Tian Meng, what happened with that Wisdom Soul Ring you mentioned before?"
At this, Tian Meng's expression turned serious. "Your Majesty, I've tested it several times. In theory, it's feasible, but to become my host, someone must have the Mental Attribute. Besides, Your Majesty, don't you have no need for Soul Rings? I can't offer up my entire essence to you either."
That was right—he didn't need Soul Rings. Lin Shuo was already a level thirty-five, three-ring Soul Elder, and whenever he broke through, a God-Bestowed Soul Ring would appear. He now had three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.
"Who said this Soul Ring was for me? I'll find you a reliable host. After that, you can follow him obediently."
Though Lin Shuo had never met Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng Ice Silkworm was of no use to him, he still planned to have Huo Yuhao fuse with Tian Meng Ice Silkworm to ensure he could bring Electrolux over.
"Come on, Brother Sky Dream. Let's go to Lake of Life." Lin Shuo gave a playful smile. "Oh, no. I should call you Sister Sky Dream now."
