"Hmph!"
The Destruction God King snorted and stopped looking at Huo Yuhao. If anyone could rein in his temper, it was probably Life alone.
The Life God King remained fairly calm. She first looked Huo Yuhao over, then could not help praising him inwardly. "Among cultivators who have yet to transcend their plane, you are the first to break through its restrictions through spiritual power alone and reach the level of a Second-Level God."
"You just said that Little Purple and I sent you here."
"What exactly happened?"
When the Life God King spoke, Huo Yuhao finally breathed a quiet sigh of relief and explained, "Lady Life God King, you may not believe this, but it wasn't the two of you in the present who sent me here. It was during the space-time turbulence thirty years later in the Divine Calendar. Before your deaths, you used the power of creation to tear open space and time, then sent me here with the last of your strength."
"That is why I carry both of your innate auras."
As his words fell silent,
Life and the Destruction God King both sucked in a breath of cold air.
This boy even knows that we possess the power of creation. Then his story is most likely true.
But what exactly had happened?
The Life God King spoke again. "You mean space-time turbulence will occur thirty years later in the Divine Calendar?"
"That's right."
Huo Yuhao nodded and said apprehensively, "And it will engulf the Divine Realm as it stands then. You two God Kings sacrificed yourselves to preserve the entire Divine Realm."
"A calamity for the Divine Realm?"
The Life God King knitted her brows and could not help murmuring, "If the Divine Realm were in danger, Little Purple and I should sense it well in advance, shouldn't we? And we would devise countermeasures as early as possible."
"Indeed."
Huo Yuhao nodded and continued, "Back then, Lord Destruction God King proposed a plan to expand the Divine Realm, giving it more divine power to withstand the space-time turbulence. Unfortunately, it failed in the end, and even sparked a War of the Gods, leaving the Divine Realm grievously weakened..."
The Life God King's eyes widened. "Little Purple's plan failed?"
"It was you, Lady Life God King. Because of your differing views, you didn't support Lord Destruction God King," Huo Yuhao continued. "You betrayed Lord Destruction and chose Tang San's side..."
"Bullshit!"
Before Huo Yuhao could finish, the Destruction God King erupted. "Xiao Lu and I have been husband and wife for hundreds of millions of years! How could she possibly betray me? Are you courting death?!"
"Little Purple!"
The Life God King rebuked him, then said gravely, "Let him continue. What exactly happened?"
Huo Yuhao shrank back.
Looks like I'll have to choose my words more carefully, he thought. Who would have imagined that this Destruction God King, who would destroy heaven, earth, and even the air itself, was so utterly devoted to his wife?
He had already wanted to destroy Huo Yuhao several times.
With that thought, Huo Yuhao finally said, "The details of what happened are also in your memories. I can't recount everything in full, so please see for yourselves..."
As he spoke,
Huo Yuhao directly activated the necromantic spell Time Reversal, beginning to read the memories in the deepest reaches of his soul before the two God Kings.
The two God Kings went from surprise to shock, and finally to uncontrollable fury as the Divine Realm's future unfolded before them, scene by scene.
The Destruction God King's aura grew increasingly savage. Had the Life God King not helped suppress it, he would have destroyed Huo Yuhao's spiritual world.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Life and the Destruction God King finally understood the entire chain of events, and both fell silent.
So Huo Yuhao really had been sent here through the combined efforts of their future selves. Despite the rule that the Divine Realm must not interfere with other planes, they themselves had broken it first. Yet only now did they learn that Asura and the Sea God had long since violated the God Realm Committee's regulations.
Slaughter City! Sea God Island!
They had established trial grounds for their inheritances within the plane long ago, severely disrupting its balance.
And ten thousand years later, after becoming a god, Tang San had gone even further, personally intervening to control and dictate the development of the entire plane.
Utterly despicable!
And Huo Yuhao had indeed failed to explain himself clearly just now. The Life God King had not betrayed him.
Rather, the gods had sensed the approaching space-time turbulence, and the Destruction God King had wanted to expand the Divine Realm and create more divine positions. But the timing was wrong. Expanding the Divine Realm then would only stretch its barriers thin. Once the space-time turbulence arrived, the Divine Realm would shatter outright, and every god would perish. That was why Life had been persuaded by Tang San to switch sides, triggering a War of the Gods.
Only at the very end, when the space-time turbulence arrived, had the two gods sacrificed themselves and transformed into the power of creation, preserving what remained of the Divine Realm.
But with the power of creation, they had also glimpsed the Divine Realm's future. Unable to bear its eventual destruction, they had used their remaining strength to send Huo Yuhao to the Douluo I World.
They would reshape the Divine Realm through the coexistence of human gods and beast gods, preparing it for the calamity to come.
This was their only chance.
"Asura God! Sea God!"
The Destruction God King's eyes blazed as though their corners would split, and violent destructive power swept across the entire world. "If not for you, how could the Divine Realm have suffered such a catastrophe?!"
"Lord God King, rein in your anger!"
Huo Yuhao jumped in fright and hurriedly reminded him, "This is my spiritual world!"
Only after a long while
did the Destruction God King finally calm down.
Then he and the Life God King exchanged a glance, each seeing mutual understanding in the other's eyes. This boy... was the Divine Realm's last hope, and their final choice.
At last, the Destruction God King spoke first. "Since the Sea God and Asura God broke the Divine Realm's rules first, there's no reason for us to keep holding back, is there? Besides, this was our own choice."
"Huo Yuhao!"
Before the Life God King could speak, the Destruction God King looked at Huo Yuhao again. "Now, I shall grant you my inheritance of destruction!"
Just like that?!
Without even hesitating?!
Huo Yuhao was utterly stunned. Before he could react, a purple scepter spanning heaven and earth appeared in his spiritual world.
Isn't the Destruction God King far too impatient?
There was no helping it.
His own choice takes precedence, after all. Besides, the Destruction God King dreams of expanding the Divine Realm.
"No!"
As though something had occurred to him, the Destruction God King said coldly, "I have to return at once. Those two, Goodness and Evil, are making a wager over the Lie Yan incident! I have to go back and stop them! They still don't know that if they leave the Divine Realm this time, they may never be able to return!"
"Little Purple, calm down first."
The Life God King soothed him. "We still need to consider this matter carefully."
"There's no time!"
The Destruction God King's expression darkened. "That fellow named Tang San will become a god in fewer than ten days. We don't have much time left!"
"Ah..."
The Life God King sighed helplessly. With a wave of her hand, an ancient golden tree appeared beside the Destruction Scepter in Huo Yuhao's spiritual world.
Life did not know how to persuade the Destruction God King either. In the end, she could only support him silently through her actions.
"Wait! Lord and Lady God King!"
Seeing that the two God Kings were about to leave, Huo Yuhao called out in time to stop them. Then he glanced at the Destruction Scepter and the Tree of Life in his spiritual world and asked rather awkwardly, "For a godhood inheritance, aren't I supposed to undergo God Trials? What should I do next?"
"God Trials?!"
The Destruction God King frowned. "What are those?"
Wait... God Trials!
Huo Yuhao was a little dumbfounded as well. Doesn't inheriting a divine position always require trials? God Trials like the Sea God Nine Trials, the Angel Nine Trials, and so on!
