Hearing Yu Xiaogang say that,

Tang San remained modest on the surface, but inwardly, he was delighted!

As he saw it, if he counted his previous life in the Tang Sect, he would ascend to godhood in just two lifetimes and ultimately become a God King.

If he went through more than thirty million lifetimes, who in the universe could still stand against him?

By then, he could practically mass-produce Buddha's Fury Tang Lotuses!

Even the God Kings of the Divine Realm would meet their end at his hands, wouldn't they?

Let alone Emanators or Aeons!

Tang Hao agreed wholeheartedly:

"The Grandmaster has spouted so much nonsense, but he finally said something that hit the mark."

"Little San has the makings of a God King. How could the gods on the Sky Curtain compare to him?"

Meanwhile,

Chrysanthemum Douluo watched Yu Xiaogang and the Tang father and son grow arrogant.

He burst out laughing in disdain, so hard that tears nearly came to his eyes.

"That Little Scumbag you call a son?"

"With the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well gone, he'll be lucky to become a god, let alone a God King. Pah!"

Tang San and the others glared at him.

If they could have beaten him, they would have attacked long ago!

After all, no matter how strong Tang Hao was, he was only one man. He couldn't protect everyone!

Phainon's Clothing Store.

Phainon said with a grave expression,

"Well? My real age scared you, didn't it?"

Wang Dong swallowed.

"No wonder I can't beat you. At your age, you must be nearly older than Douluo Star itself!"

Black lines practically covered Phainon's face.

Did she have to put it like that?

Still, compared with Wang Dong's remark, he felt his own line was even more embarrassing.

But as long as he brought up the braised-noodle guy, everything else was easy enough to explain.

After all, thinking about it now, bringing Destruction to the Aeon of Destruction

was like bringing Aha a bit of fun.

It was absurd on another level.

If he really managed to destroy Nanook, Nanook would probably be even happier.

Seeing Phainon's speechless expression,

Qian Renxue couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling.

Star Dou Great Forest.

The sight on the Sky Curtain was breathtaking.

The Silver Dragon King had fully awakened as well. The silver dragon descended beside Di Tian.

Di Tian said respectfully, "Master, is your injury all right?"

"It's fine. A little more time won't make a difference."

The Silver Dragon King fell into thought.

Ten thousand years from now, a twist of fate would resolve her problem, restore her cultivation, and even grant her a Super Divine Artifact.

Why couldn't her present self find some other power to help her?

The Aeon universe might be the opportunity she needed!

Besides, Phainon's defiance and courage had moved her deeply.

Even in such a hopeless situation, Phainon could still swing his sword!

The mission she bore as Soul Beast Co-Ruler suddenly seemed like nothing by comparison!

Once she laid down the burden in her heart, the Silver Dragon King felt lighter than ever before.

Di Tian saw that the Silver Dragon King's bearing seemed to have undergone a transformation, and he sighed inwardly:

As expected of Master! She gained insight just by watching the Sky Curtain!

The world of Douluo II.

Xuan Zi took a bite of his chicken leg.

He scoffed,

"Mu En, didn't I tell you? Phainon has shown his true colors!"

"After that many cycles, even a Wind Baboon would have soared to the heavens!"

"Does one drop of blood from an Aeon's face even count as a wound?"

"It might heal in a few seconds!"

"And this is the savior carrying the fate of a world?"

"I'd say he doesn't live up to the title!"

Mu En frowned and said with disappointment,

"Xuan Zi, you've become a little obsessed!"

Mu En was almost too embarrassed to point it out!

When Xuan Zi led a team, even a Soul King could make a fool of him!

And he had the nerve to criticize Phainon for fighting a cosmic Aeon?

His sights were high, but his abilities fell far short!

Why did Shrek have so little talent coming up to replace the old guard?

If Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong couldn't return, who in the next generation could take over?

Bei Bei? Ma Xiaotao?

He shook his head.

Bei Bei and the others might become powerful figures one day, but they were still missing something if they wanted to be leaders!

The Divine Realm of a parallel timeline.

Ma Hongjun looked at Bai Chenxiang. By now, he had returned to his old, carefree self.

He boasted, "Xiangxiang, if I went up there instead, how many moves do you think I could last?"

"They may both be flames, but mine contain the law of the Phoenix God's first-rank Nirvana Fire. Once they catch an enemy, there's no getting free."

"If that Aeon of Destruction, Nanook, took a hit from my flames, he definitely wouldn't get away with just one wound!"

Bai Chenxiang rolled her eyes at him. "Get your head straight!"

Ma Hongjun thumped his chest. "It's a shame I don't have a chance to trade blows with someone that strong. I know the strength of everyone in the Divine Realm too well."

Off to the side, Tang San smiled. "If you want to stretch your muscles, you can go find the Destruction God King."

Ma Hongjun waved a hand.

What kind of joke was that?

The Sky Curtain had exposed the Destruction God King's plans.

Relations between the Destruction God King and Tang San were tense enough already.

If he went looking for the Destruction God King now, wouldn't he just be asking for trouble?

Meanwhile,

the Destruction God King looked at the Seven Deadly Sins Gods under his command, his expression dark.

The Sky Curtain had completely exposed his plan to oppose Tang San.

The Destruction God King asked, "Khaslana has built up over thirty million lifetimes' worth of rage and Core Flames. What do you make of this display of strength?"

He was paying close attention to the Aeon of Destruction.

They both wielded the authority of Destruction.

In his eyes, he was the one who stood at the pinnacle of its path!

The God of Pride sneered. "As I see it, a weakling is still a weakling, no matter how many years he trains."

"If it were me, Zephyro wouldn't have lasted three moves!"

The God of Wrath laughed. "My fury would be even more terrifying than Khaslana's!"

"The pinnacle of the path of Destruction belongs to you alone, Destruction God King!"

The other gods hurried to agree.

All except the God of Sloth, of course.

As gods of the Seven Deadly Sins, their personalities didn't perfectly match their authorities.

But those authorities did influence them to some degree.

The Goddess of Life, however, was a God King who governed life, and power was not what she valued.

The remains that carpeted the earth after Khaslana's battle weighed heavily on her heart.

She said with compassion,

"Khaslana bears the weight of so many lives. It's far too heavy."

Hearing his wife feel sorry for someone else, the Destruction God King couldn't help feeling jealous.

He said irritably, "Hmph. Is the burden I carry not heavy too?"

"Tang San clings to the authority of a God King but does no work. I want to expand the Divine Realm, yet he blocks me at every turn. Don't I have a right to feel wronged?"

The Goddess of Life soothed him:

"Of course. You're the best too."

Below them, the Seven Deadly Sins Gods couldn't help pursing their lips.

They really did love flaunting their affection!

[After the Destruction Scepter failed, Khaslana intended to destroy himself and repeat what Cyrene had done.] [But he seemed to have failed. Iron Tomb swallowed him completely.] [Lygus regarded the rage and Core Flames from over thirty million cycles as a gift for Iron Tomb, and as the root that would complete the equation.] [Yet Iron Tomb's consumption of Khaslana also brought the system's calculations to a halt. The birth of Iron Tomb remained forever stuck at the final step.]

Everyone was astonished by what they saw.

To them, Phainon had just delivered nourishment to Iron Tomb.

If only he hadn't challenged Nanook and had kept his head down until he could strike alongside his companions!

He really had bitten off more than he could chew!

But others argued back.

"What if he'd succeeded?"

"You're only mocking Phainon because you know now that he failed."

"But if you don't try, how will you ever know how it turns out?"

The world of Douluo II.

Seeing Phainon swallowed, Xuan Zi turned to Mu En smugly:

"Mu En, you said I'd become obsessed. What do you say now?"

"If Iron Tomb hadn't swallowed Phainon, would its program have advanced so quickly?"

Mu En merely smiled.

"I told you before: don't rush to judge. Look further ahead!"

"But you wouldn't listen!"

"Didn't Phainon ultimately pass the World-Bearing Titan's trial?"

"Now Iron Tomb has swallowed him, yet its birth has stalled. And you think he's lost?"

Xuan Zi pursed his lips, unconvinced.

He believed only what was right before his eyes!

The world of Douluo I.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Di Tian sighed.

"I said before that Phainon was only a little behind me. Now it seems the gap is quite a bit wider."

"He actually fell for a scheme!"

The Silver Dragon King narrowed her eyes. "I feel he has something else in mind."

Di Tian froze as he looked into his Master's wide violet eyes.

They seemed filled with wisdom.

But when he thought of the Master who would become Gu Yuena ten thousand years later, Di Tian had his doubts. Could he trust her world-shaking wisdom this time?

Sunset Forest.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the Sky Curtain and burst out laughing.

"See? This Aeon universe is nowhere near as good as our Douluo Continent."

"More than thirty million cycles! How did he never learn the wisdom of a Grandmaster like me?"

"If he had the wisdom of a Grandmaster like me, he would have broken out of this predicament long ago."
