Returning Divine Authority, Little Sprout Evolves

Seeing this, the Asura God suppressed the panic in his heart, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

He then spoke calmly, "The Angel God has already fallen, and it is unknown when the next Angel God will appear."

"This Seat has merely taken up her authority to act as judge in her stead, ensuring that justice in the world endures forever."

Hearing this high-sounding rhetoric from the Asura God, the God of Destruction could no longer restrain himself, a mocking sneer tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"Asura, stop the act. Honestly return the authority and accept your punishment."

As he spoke, he condensed the power of destruction in his hands, and a terrifying pressure instantly rolled toward the Asura God.

"As a law enforcer of the God Realm, you have knowingly broken the law; your virtue does not match your position."

Douluo Continent.

In the Douluo Hall, the long-silent statue of the Angel God suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light.

Every inch of it began to glow with brilliant radiance as divine power flowed around its body.

Lin Ze'an looked at Yue Guan, just about to speak...

"BOOM--!"

In the distance, from the direction of the Douluo Hall, a massive pillar of light shot into the sky. Wherever it passed, the clouds evaporated entirely, revealing the pure firmament.

Terrifying fluctuations of divine power spread throughout the entirety of Spirit City.

It was an incomparably holy, majestic, and inviolable sensation, as if the true Angel God had descended.

"Lord Angel God?"

Seeing this, Yue Guan's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly knelt heavily on one knee, not daring to show the slightest negligence as he bowed toward the direction of the golden pillar of light.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan could not care about their shock and hurriedly knelt down as well.

It was not just them; everyone touched by the divine power, feeling that suffocating, holy pressure, could not help but fall to their knees in worship.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ze'an also bowed slightly toward the Douluo Hall.

Did Little Green and Little Purple return the Angel God's authority? What a holy feeling.

As expected of the Angel God; even just the return of her authority causes such a stir.

On the other side.

"Lord Angel God!" Qian Daoliu knelt before the statue, his voice trembling uncontrollably, his eyes instantly turning red.

This Great Elder, who had devoutly believed in the Angel God his entire life, could no longer control his emotions.

He kowtowed heavily, pressing his forehead against the cold ground.

Over these years, he had begun to feel the divine power within the Angel God statue gradually dissipating, and he had assumed that something had happened to her...

He never expected that in his lifetime, he would be able to witness a miracle of the Angel God!

Beside him, a verdant green light, almost blending into the air, stood silently.

The Goddess of Life's gentle and compassionate gaze fell upon Qian Daoliu.

It is a pity that the Angel God has truly fallen.

The Goddess of Life sighed softly; if it were possible, she would not have wished for the Angel God to fall.

Unfortunately, there were no "ifs." Without finding the Angel God's shattered godhood, even she was powerless.

Thinking of this, the Goddess of Life's figure slowly dissipated, and in an instant, she appeared beside Lin Ze'an.

The Goddess of Life's gaze swept gently over the people kneeling to the Angel God, and she lifted her hand slightly.

"Sleep."

In an instant, a soft, verdant light brushed over them, and the surrounding people fell down one by one, quiet and lost in dreams.

The Goddess of Life looked at Lin Ze'an and said, "The Angel God's authority of holiness and judgment has been stripped from the Sea God and the Asura God and returned."

"Furthermore, after deliberation, a portion of their divine power has been extracted and injected into the Angel God's position as compensation."

At this moment, the God of Destruction appeared beside her and asked, "Are you satisfied with this?"

Lin Ze'an did not answer immediately, only looking up at the golden pillar of light in the sky that pierced the heavens.

The light was so pure, so majestic, as if it could wash away all the filth in the world.

"I didn't expect the Angel God to be so powerful," Lin Ze'an's voice carried undisguised amazement. "Just the return of her authority causes such a commotion."

Hearing this, the Goddess of Life nodded gently and explained to him, "Most gods in the God Realm preside over one type of authority."

"Each authority represents a supreme power, requiring the god to pour all their heart and soul into comprehending and mastering it."

"However, the Angel God was an exception. She held the three great authorities of holiness, judgment, and fire simultaneously."

"Being able to master these three authorities at once is enough to demonstrate the Angel God's strength."

However, this is likely the reason for the Angel God's fall.

Too much time had passed; even if there were doubts, there was no longer any evidence to be found.

Lin Ze'an nodded and said sincerely, "Thank you for going to such trouble to see justice done for the Angel God."

Just then, the necklace hanging around his neck suddenly erupted with a dazzling green light.

"Whoosh—"

Accompanied by a rustling sound, a tiny figure flew out from the necklace and landed lightly on the ground.

Immediately following, a rich scent of vegetation washed over them.

Lin Ze'an was stunned at the sight and looked down at the figure.

The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction were also taken aback, looking over as well.

What was this? A soul beast? It didn't look like one; it lacked the characteristics of a soul beast.

A moment later, Lin Ze'an snapped back to his senses, hurriedly picked it up, and said in surprise, "Huh? Little Sprout, you've finished evolving?"

He examined the little fellow in his arms carefully; Little Sprout had begun to take on a somewhat humanoid shape and was a bit larger than before.

However, looking at it like this, shouldn't it be called Dingding now?

But then, a second thought crossed his mind, and Lin Ze'an couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, "I think I'll just keep calling you Little Sprout."

Upon hearing this, Little Sprout hugged his arm and chirped, "Doudou~"

Seeing this scene, the corner of the God of Destruction's mouth twitched violently, and he felt an indescribable sense of absurdity wash over him.

Are you kidding me? Transmigration was one thing, but was he bringing an invasive species along too?

That thing Lin Ze'an was holding was clearly not a soul beast, right? It wasn't even suppressed by the laws of the Douluo Continent.

The Goddess of Life, however, watched Little Sprout with great interest.

She leaned in slightly and asked Lin Ze'an, "Is this a spirit beast from your world?"

She had lived for so long, yet she had never seen a creature like this.

It appeared to be just a spirit beast, yet the life force within its body was so pure, without a trace of impurity.

Hearing this, Lin Ze'an paused for a moment before saying hesitantly, "You could say that. Its name is Little Sprout."

Suddenly, the God of Destruction let out a cold snort, pulled the Goddess of Life toward him, and said to Lin Ze'an, "It is inconvenient for us to remain in the mortal realm for long. Farewell."

He flicked his slender fingers, and dark purple divine power surged like a tide, forming a swirling vortex of energy around himself and the Goddess of Life.

Before the man and the sprout could react, the figures of the two gods vanished from where they stood.

Seeing this, the corner of Lin Ze'an's mouth twitched, and he stared speechlessly at the spot where they had disappeared.

Was he jealous? Surely not, right?
