God Realm.

Beneath the dome of the supreme laws.

The Goddess of Life, seated within the Temple of Life, abruptly changed expression, the life crystal core condensing in her palm shattering at the sound.

An unprecedented sense of familiarity and endearment swept through her entire body like a tidal wave.

This fluctuation, could it be...

This... how is this possible?

The divine sense of the Goddess of Life pierced through the sea of clouds, reaching straight to the Douluo Continent.

When her gaze touched the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, her pupils violently constricted.

She saw a giant tree, pitch-black throughout with gnarled branches resembling an ancient demon dragon, standing proudly upon the earth.

Its bark was cracked like the trenches of the abyss, and every single leaf dripped with a ghastly white halo, resembling the breath of countless lost souls.

That aura stood in stark contrast to the life rhythm within her own origin.

That was the power of death.

The purest, most ultimate law of death, like materialized darkness, slowly circulated around its entire body.

That was a newly born Death Divine Tree!

It was two sides of the same coin with her Life Divine Tree, like light and shadow, day and night!

In an instant, a clap of thunder exploded within the divine soul of the Goddess of Life.

Whenever any life reaches its end, it has never been by destruction... but by death.

No wonder!

No wonder that the moment she and the God of Destruction approached each other, they would be fiercely repelled by that overbearing force of the law!

She had once thought it was a conflict of attributes, but at this moment she finally understood.

Destruction was a violent end, a fate imposed by external forces.

And death was the destined end that all things must traverse, the final chapter written by life itself.

The power of destruction could cause a living entity to die, but that was not the death pursued by life.

Star Dou Great Forest, core restricted zone.

The tribulation clouds were like ink, blanketing the sky and covering the earth.

Between heaven and earth, nothing remained except pure darkness and the swirling ghastly white at the center of the tribulation clouds.

Several great fierce beasts lay dormant in the distance, their beastly pupils filled with terror.

That evil tree was actually going to undergo its heavenly tribulation this soon!

The waters of the Life Lake churned frantically, and the huge piece of Life Gold at the bottom of the lake emitted a blinding light, desperately releasing vitality, yet it was pulled as if by an invisible whirlpool, crazily surging toward the center beneath the tribulation clouds.

There, a deathly silent tree stood unmoving.

Its root system plunged into the earth, as if sucking at the final end of the entire world.

"It's over. This guy is going to undergo his tribulation, we're going to have a hard time from now on."

"If this guy successfully passes the tribulation, I definitely won't be his match."

A trace of terror flashed across the depths of Red King's eyes.

Back then, when this tree was around fifty thousand years of cultivation, it had caused him to suffer a massive loss.

This tree was thoroughly perverse.

"That Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was already troublesome enough. This fellow is even harder to handle than the dark demon evil god. If we let him continue to grow, it wouldn't be strange if our entire Star Dou Great Forest were sucked dry by him." Xiong Jun frowned.

Looking at this terrifying heavenly tribulation, even as a bystander, his heart was still filled with terror.

When he underwent his five-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation, it probably wasn't this fierce.

"With a heavenly tribulation like this, throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest, only Di Tian and you, Xiong Jun, would have the certainty to survive it." Bi Ji's voice was like the chiming of a clear spring, ethereal and pleasant to the ear.

"Indeed. Anyway, if Red King and I were facing a heavenly tribulation like this, I'm afraid we would have been reduced to dust long ago." Zi Ji curled her lips. Actually, she was still quite curious about that evil tree.

Although she was the Hell Demon Dragon King, she felt that that was truly a demonic tree grown from hell. In front of him, she, the Hell Demon Dragon King, was unworthy of the name.

"This is a divine tree!"

"If placed in the ancient era, as long as it continues to grow, it will definitely be a deity in the future."

"Show some respect, all of you."

Myriad Demon King said with a flash of annoyance.

His true form was the Demon-Eyed Tree, and he knew very well that the other party's life level was extremely high.

"So what? In this era, soul beasts cannot become gods. Even for beings nurtured by heaven and earth, isn't it the same?" A trace of loneliness flashed through Xiong Jun's eyes.

Placed in the heyday of the soul beast clan, talent like his could also manage to become a divine beast.

"Perhaps, he really does have a chance."

Beside them, a male dressed in a black robe embroidered with gold patterns spoke up.

Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King!

Di Tian knew that the sovereign located beneath the Life Lake attached great importance to this tree.

She had said that this tree contained the purest death energy, which reminded her of the Goddess of Life in the God Realm. It was just that the true form of the Goddess of Life was the Life Divine Tree.

The sovereign had said that this tree and the Goddess of Life were very likely of the same kind.

Red King, Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji all fell silent, silently digesting Di Tian's shocking words.

They knew that Di Tian was the sovereign's spokesperson in the Star Dou Great Forest.

His words, at times, also represented the sovereign's intentions.

Placed at the epicenter of the lightning tribulation, Li Qinglian felt his defenses breaking a little.

Over the ten thousand years in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had indeed seen countless hundred-thousand-year soul beasts undergo their heavenly tribulations.

The heavenly tribulations of those soul beasts were not nearly as frightening as his.

Although he was indeed somewhat stronger, for his hundred-thousand-year tribulation to come down this terrifying, was it not going a bit too far?

Being a soul beast is no longer viable.

The God Realm's restrictions on soul beasts are far too ruthless. Even if I survive this tribulation, there are even more heavenly tribulations waiting for me. Even after becoming a million-year soul beast, it doesn't mean I am simply considered a soul beast anymore.

Li Qinglian knew.

The channels for becoming a god were completely controlled by the God Realm, and soul beasts wishing to take a further step could simply not bypass the God Realm.

In this era, reincarnating as a soul beast was not a good thing.

The soul beasts' leader, the Dragon God, had fallen; the Golden Dragon King was imprisoned; and the Silver Dragon King only dared to hide and not come out.

As a soul beast, no matter how powerful your cultivation became, that group of deities in the God Realm would send their descendants down to the lower realm to hunt you down. Your entire strength would only turn into nourishment for those people to become gods.

After surviving this tribulation, I might as well retread the human path. Becoming a human, it only takes thirty years to have a chance of becoming a god.

With my current strength, at worst, the Rakshasa God should still like it.

Li Qinglian had figured it out long ago.

The Rakshasa God dared to go head-to-head with the Asura God, so she should certainly have the guts.

Although he was a reincarnated soul beast and not a pure-blooded human, the Rakshasa God probably wouldn't withhold a god position from him for that reason.

However, the Rakshasa God was only his backup choice; if he could inherit the Asura God position and become a God King, that would be even better.

Still, judging by attributes, the God of Death would be a better match for him. Yet the God of Death in the God Realm seemed to be nothing more than a first-level god.

Let's not think about all that for now, surviving the tribulation is paramount!

Watching within the tribulation clouds as a deep purple tribulation lightning descended, Li Qinglian urged the death soul power within his body, and a ghastly white light collided with the tribulation lightning.

A dazzling shockwave erupted from the collision.

The surrounding trees collapsed entirely, and the churning air current swept across hundreds of miles.

"Let's join forces to seal off these energy shockwaves, and seal the aura here as much as possible."

Di Tian said, drawing a circle with both hands to block the energy shockwaves surrounding his body. The other fierce beasts also made their moves one after another.
