[5k Chapter] The Final Chapter of Douluo, You Surnamed Yao, Get Out Here and Die!

A flash of crimson-gold fire passed through his eyes. Fiery Golden Eyes activated, and Tang San's figure held few secrets before Xiao Yan.

Just as he had imagined, Tang San looked corporeal, but he was actually somewhat illusory.

This was merely an incarnation condensed from divine power and divine sense.

Yet because of the difficulties of descending to the lower realm, such an incarnation was still extremely important to Tang San.

Sensing the other party's divine sense, Xiao Yan curled his lips into a smile, slightly bent his index finger, and beckoned Tang San with it.

"How presumptuous!"

Tang San's expression was particularly grim, but he did not attack directly.

It had only been half a day since he had dealt with the God of Destruction's questioning. He had been waiting for the two people blessed by fate in the Douluo Plane to converge, so he could replace the Emperor Auspicious Beast with his daughter's soul.

Yet something like this had actually happened in the Douluo Plane!

The flow of fate had shifted drastically, and the predetermined course was no more.

Even the glimpse of the future he had obtained by consuming Divine Realm Origin was no longer accurate.

Even the original Child of Fate no longer possessed such an important status. That had become a thing of the past. Though he still possessed great fortune, the share of fate he would occupy had shrunk drastically. If Douluo's fate were ten measures, the person before him alone occupied more than eight.

Tang San's expression flickered uncertainly. Such a change had occurred in his own territory, yet he had known nothing about it!

He would not allow his forbidden possession to be touched!

He had a grand plan spanning tens of thousands of years!

The Douluo Plane was his stronghold. Tang San had always regarded the Douluo Plane as something in the palm of his hand. Over these past ten thousand years, there had been a handful of exceptionally talented individuals worthy of inheriting godhood.

But the time had not been right. Tang San did not mind cultivating some followers, but that would be after he had completely purified the Douluo Plane.

Heaven was merciless, treating all things as sacrificial dogs. The Douluo Plane's will needed virtuous people to take control of it.

Tang San promoted the worthy without avoiding relatives. Naturally, the Plane Lord and Life Core had to be held by his parents. Only people like them could be trusted not to let power fall into the hands of evil people.

As for how many believed such nonsense, Tang San did not care. They had no choice but to believe it.

The script of the Tang Sect's decline and resurgence would allow his faith to rise another level.

After that, Douluo would belong to him. Naturally, he could coordinate resources from other planes and bring benefits to the Douluo Plane. So long as they obediently listened, he did not mind giving the dogs a few more bones to gnaw on.

If, after tens of thousands of years, there was still only the myth of him, the Sea God, in the world, and heretics could still emerge even after both the stick and the carrot had been used—

Then he might as well be dead.

As a feudalism warrior hardened by countless trials, Tang San remained quite confident in this regard.

Yet an accident had occurred in the crucial first step of his plan!

Clearly, so long as he followed Tang San's arrangements and gradually fused together every person blessed by fate in this era, Douluo would completely become his and enjoy an even better future. Yet someone actually wanted to disrupt this plan!

"Could it be that you intend to obstruct the Douluo Plane's ascension? Do you wish to stand against the greater tide?"

Divine power rippled out, and everything in the world seemed to freeze. Tang San stared at Xiao Yan with furrowed brows.

He did not believe an accident like this could arise under his arrangements, but since it had happened, he became deeply suspicious of Xiao Yan's origins.

Though he could not see any problem, that was precisely the greatest problem.

Naturally, he had never regarded geniuses at the level of Limit Douluo, such as Mu En, as worthy of concern.

But he had long sensed that a person blessed by fate would emerge in Douluo around this time, so he had naturally made some arrangements.

Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui were part of his plan. They could let his daughter and the person blessed by fate gain experience and prestige, while also turning their cultivation into nourishment.

Yet now, not only had the Auspicious Beast and the person blessed by fate gone wrong, even those two experience packs had run into trouble?!

Though Tang San looked down on the Sun Moon Empire and had not made any plans here at all, he did not care. At worst, when necessary, he could simply care a little less about the rules.

He just had not expected that he would need to disregard the rules and personally enter the fray so soon.

Tang San greatly suspected that this was a stumbling block placed in his path by the God of Destruction.

Xiao Yan's every movement was broad and open, with life and destruction flowing through a single thought. Only the God of Destruction had always opposed him, Tang somebody.

Developing the Divine Realm was not impossible, but Tang San had no interest in developing someone else's Divine Realm. If he held absolute authority and gods such as Destruction were entirely his subordinates, he naturally would not mind leading everyone forward together.

But to develop it now? Was that not ridiculous?

How could one resist external threats without first settling internal problems?

And this had happened far too coincidentally. During the half year that the God of Destruction had summoned him away, Xiao Yan had risen to prominence.

Tang San believed there was an eighty percent chance that Xiao Yan was someone from Destruction's faction, planted long ago to disrupt matters.

"As expected of a feudalism warrior tested by alcohol—such an exquisite egoist."

Xiao Yan smiled. He could vaguely guess what Tang San was thinking. The man saw himself as an emperor, wanting to play that whole "thunder and rain alike are the emperor's grace" game.

Tang San was still too low-class. He could not keep his emotions from showing, or perhaps he had never even considered hiding them from Xiao Yan.

People like him only spoke of interests.

But thinking about it, it made sense for someone from the Tang Sect. Across the countless heavens and worlds, there were so many Tang Sects, yet only a handful were truly upright.

"...Could it be that you intend to be my enemy? Whatever others can give you, I can give you as well." Tang San narrowed his eyes. Xiao Yan's words gave him a faint sense of danger. Knowing he was a God King, yet reacting like this...

If he could lower the other party's guard and later use a small scheme to eliminate him easily, that was not impossible.

"One who accepts another's salary must be loyal to their affairs."

Xiao Yan shook his head. Setting aside certain conspiracy theories, Tang San's image matched what he had imagined. During the first Douluo era, he had not been quite so beastly. He was still rather good to those he considered his own people—or rather, his subordinates—because he had not yet reached such a high position.

Of course, his so-called kindness toward subordinates had to be built on that emperor's mindset of "thunder and rain alike are the emperor's grace." If one regarded him as someone like Zhu Qizhen or Zhao Gou, it made far more sense.

The second Douluo era had been when he was at his most beastly, his period of savage expansion. He no longer concealed himself, so certain methods naturally came into use.

By the third and fourth Douluo eras, he had already achieved fame and success, so naturally he packaged himself again, put away the butcher's knife, and changed into golden robes.

Compared to the Holy Spirit Cult and those people from Soul Hall, he did not count as truly monstrous and wicked. At most, he was a nauseating hypocrite and genuine petty villain.

Boom!!!

As his thoughts scattered, Xiao Yan raised his right hand and swung out a barrier, blocking a Thousand Years of Emptiness.

Knowing Tang San's character, Xiao Yan was not surprised in the slightest by this kind of higher-cultivation-against-lower-cultivation sneak attack.

"If I accepted your benefits and did things that did not cross my bottom line, I would not mind." Xiao Yan smiled and spread his hands, showing that he had no intention of attacking as he slowly walked toward Tang San.

"And?" Tang San blinked, though he secretly began gathering power.

"But unfortunately, I do not think much of you."

Above them, the Endless Fire Domain spread out. Tang San had intended to flee, only to discover that in this lower realm, he was actually suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth. He was controlled for only an instant, yet he had already entered a world constructed from flames.

"It's you!!!"

Tang San was greatly shocked. Only now did he understand who was targeting him.

Clearly, he had already sent his father's soul into the plane's source, allowing it to continuously devour the other party. How could this plane will still rise up in resistance?!

Damned plane will, could it not obediently merge with Tang Hao? Clearly, as the supreme God King, he would lead the entire plane to develop together. Being fused into the body of the God King's father was the plane will's honor!

Damned plane will, it had earned itself a death sentence!

Tang San's eyes reddened, and his breathing grew heavy. He could no longer wait to disregard every rule and annihilate the plane will.

"We do not have to be enemies. Why must we be enemies?" Tang San hurriedly said. Though he did not believe he would lose, he had no time to waste on Xiao Yan.

"Why do we have to fight? We're not bros." Xiao Yan smiled faintly.

One hand pointed to the heavens, the other to the earth, before slowly drawing them together.

With his movements, the boundary between heaven and earth gradually blurred. Clear fire descended, turbid fire rose, and the distance between heaven and earth was continuously compressed.

"Not bros?" Tang San was dumbfounded. What kind of logic was that?

"Our positions differ, that is all." Xiao Yan shook his head with a laugh and did not bother further.

This opportunity was rare. He intended to properly test out his idea.

Within his body, he activated the detonation method of Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus.

The next moment, Xiao Yan's entire body seemed to boil.

A hundred-zhang-tall giant of flame radiated crimson-gold light.

The flame giant continuously compressed until it became the size of a person.

The terrifying energy it emitted truly shocked even Tang San.

The entire world was helping Xiao Yan! Every law favored him. More accurately, the laws within this world were all controlled by Xiao Yan!

"Unfixed..." The Golden Trident pointed directly at Xiao Yan as Tang San shouted in a low voice, about to unleash Unfixed Storm.

Yet his vision suddenly blurred!

Under his dumbfounded gaze, the energy fluctuations within Xiao Yan's body were about to explode directly!

"Are you insane?!!

Is it some pointless morality, the existence of the plane will, or does my existence matter that much to you?!"

Tang San roared. He could not understand Xiao Yan's actions at all!

"You have earned yourself a death sentence!!!"

What kind of lunatic started self-destructing after exchanging a few taunts upon meeting?!

"They are not important to me."

A vast voice echoed throughout the entire space. Amid violent thunderous roars, Xiao Yan abruptly appeared before Tang San, ignored every attack and defense, and slammed into him fiercely.

Boom boom boom boom!!!!

"Not having you is very important to me." Xiao Yan's voice was calm, yet it brimmed with the confidence of someone stating an established fact.

The Endless Fire Domain collapsed. Tang San's eyes nearly split apart as he tried to mobilize divine power and divine sense to defend himself. Yet suppressed by the entire world, he could not resist at all.

Divine Realm.

Pfft!!

Tang San threw back his head and sprayed out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were crimson, and he gasped like a bull!

"That damned brat actually dared destroy one of my incarnations!!!"

He had been unwilling to use even a trace of divine power to nurture those inheriting godhood. For the Sea God family, he had wanted nothing more than to use the remnants left behind by the previous Sea God for their cultivation.

Yet Xiao Yan had directly borrowed the Douluo Plane's power, leaving him utterly unable to display his corresponding strength!

From the cost of secretly descending to being killed, the entire process had actually destroyed nearly half of his divine sense and divine power!

"Sea God! What have you done?!"

In the distance, the Destruction God King was furious. Tang San usually broke the rules, and he said nothing, but today such an enormous disturbance had erupted in the lower realm!

A disturbance was one thing, but as one of the God Kings maintaining the Divine Realm's core, Tang San's aura had instantly weakened by so much!

"Dammit!!!" Tang San's eyes reddened further, and his breathing became increasingly heavy. Overcome by anger, he spat out another mouthful of divine blood.

He had been schemed against this badly by an ant in his own eyes!

And that damned Destruction was even coming to cause trouble at such a time!

He had earned himself a death sentence!!!

In his fury, Tang San completely ignored Destruction and went straight to find Xiao Wu.

He would fully draw upon the Asura God's power.

He would descend to the lower realm and completely destroy Xiao Yan and the plane will!!!

"Tang San, you are far too presumptuous! Do you know what consequences this will bring to the Divine Realm?!" The God of Destruction blocked Tang San's path.

The God of Destruction was enraged as well, so angry that he nearly laughed. He had just repeatedly urged and painstakingly tried to convince Tang San to expand the Divine Realm with him.

Yet now Tang San had lost half his divine power and still intended to consume the Divine Realm Origin's power to descend to the lower realm!

"Get lost!!!" Tang San drew the Three Realms Judgment Sword.

If the God of Destruction dared block his way, then he would fight him directly!

However, when Tang San had gone to great lengths to prove his resolve and paid a tremendous price to descend to Douluo Continent in his true body—

It seemed as though someone's luck had taken effect, or perhaps fate had decreed it.

An unprecedentedly powerful Space-Time Turbulence swept through.

The connection between the Divine Realm and the lower realm was severed. The four God Kings exhausted all their strength merely to stabilize the Divine Realm within the Space-Time Turbulence.

As for Tang San, his fate was unknown.

By ordinary reasoning, if his fate was unknown, then he was dead.

Douluo Continent.

Less than half an hour had passed in the Divine Realm, yet nearly a month had passed on Douluo Continent.

After dragging Tang San down with him, Xiao Yan had directly been reborn in fire. With heaven and earth empowering him, he did not lack energy at all.

The feedback from killing Tang San had been immense. The plane will, which had seemed half-dead in his senses before, suddenly recovered.

And more than half a month was enough for Xiao Yan to accomplish many things.

For example, at Ma Xiaotao's invitation, he helped Mu En treat his illness.

Or he watched Mu En cripple half of Xuan Zi's strength after Xuan Zi had another episode.

Or he formed a bond with the Emperor Auspicious Beast that had come after him, helped her take human form, and obtained the final seventh soul ring that allowed his Dharma Body to turn illusion into reality.

Or he refined the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler clan in an instant and stored them in the Gray Mist Space.

For example, he greatly expanded the Flame Alliance, taking the Black and White Twin Sacred Dragons, two Limits, as guest elders.

And he engaged in deep, close interaction and exchange with the Auspicious Beast, then had a friendly talk with Di Tian.

"So, Old Di, do you have any objections to the cooperation plan?" Xiao Yan cheerfully wrapped an arm around the waist of the Auspicious Beast, who had taken Di Tian's surname and been named Di Qiu'er. Sitting on a wooden chair patterned with countless eyes, he looked toward Di Tian before him.

Though Di Tian was in human form at the moment, a mountain entirely condensed from flames pressed down upon him. While burning him, the mountain continuously helped Di Tian refine and purify his bloodline.

"...Let Qiu'er join your Flame Alliance as the deputy alliance leader in her capacity as the common ruler of soul beasts. The many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and fierce beasts may serve as elders and consecrators..." Di Tian's eyes flickered. Their interactions over this period had given him a basic degree of trust in Xiao Yan, along with Xiao Yan's peerless strength and that secret method of condensing soul rings from origin, which could resolve the conflict between soul beasts and humans.

This truly gave the two races a foundation for cooperation.

Ten thousand years was too long. Di Tian fought only for the present. There was nothing wrong with letting Qiu'er temporarily act as the common ruler of soul beasts.

He had also seen Xiao Yan's attitude. The Flame Alliance itself already had several soul beasts, and aside from splitting the Myriad Demon King apart the moment they met, Xiao Yan had done nothing too excessive.

Instead, Xiao Yan splitting apart the Myriad Demon King had allowed Di Tian to see many things clearly and put him more at ease. People who were so straightforward were always easier to deal with.

But the prerequisite was resolving the most important concern.

"With the two of us joining forces, we need not fear divine sense from gods. But what if a god's true body descends to the lower realm?

"My soul beast race ultimately cannot become gods."

Di Tian's eyes flickered.

Over the past half month, after sparring and exchanging insights with Xiao Yan, he had come to believe in the Auspicious Beast's luck and clearly understood the future of the soul beasts.

But taking a huge gamble required certain prerequisites.

"He can't come down. You should be able to sense that the connection between the Divine Realm and the mortal world has already been severed. This time, I'm heading to the source of the plane to discuss with the world's will the matter of humans and soul beasts establishing their own Divine Realm.

Oh, soul beasts can't become gods, so you can't sense it." As his body began to fade, Xiao Yan shook his head with a grin.

With Tang San's petty nature, if he could come down, he would have done so long ago.

Most likely, his and the Auspicious Beast's luck had taken effect, leaving the Divine Realm too busy to look after itself.

This trip to the Douluo Plane had already brought him a bountiful harvest.

When he came again next time, he would go settle things with Tang San. By then, it would be nothing but crushing a weakling. Once he returned, with all the cultivation techniques he had passed down in the Flame Alliance, Douluo might not become a world where everyone was like a dragon, but the greater course of events would certainly be completely rewritten.

"..." Di Tian fell silent for a moment. Seeing the absolute sincerity in Xiao Yan's gaze, he could only sigh with an aching tooth.

Honestly, this guy was just too good at irritating people.

"Cooperation is possible, but as the common ruler of soul beasts, the name Di Qiu'er is somewhat lacking."

Knowing that Xiao Yan was about to leave, Di Tian decided to show some sincerity.

After some discussion, Xiao Yan understood Di Tian's meaning. He wanted a title for the Emperor Auspicious Beast, something akin to Flame Emperor, Scarlet Emperor, Bear Lord, or Di Tian.

It was roughly the difference between a name and a title.

Considering that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion resembled a Suanni, Di Ni did not sound very pleasant, while reversing it sounded a little too much like the best-selling commodity of the Age of Sail. Xiao Yan suggested the title Emperor Suan.

"Since humans and beasts are to unite as one community..." Recalling the Flame Alliance's principle that made no distinction based on race, only on conduct, Di Tian shook his head.

Xiao Yan froze. His body grew increasingly insubstantial, and before leaving the Douluo Plane, he heard Di Tian speak slowly.

"Remove the beastly nature and add human nature. Call her Di Jun."

Xiao Yan: ???

What the hell was that???

Dou Qi Continent.

Beast Mountain Range.

A Dou Zong and a Dou Wang from a collateral branch of the Yao Clan were crouched before the Beast Mound ruins when, without warning, raging flames that swept across all directions erupted from the depths of the valley.

"Yao bastards, get out here and die for me!!!"

Yao Chen: ...what can I say?
