Within Sky Screen Space, there was no distinction between sky and land, nor were there oceans or forests. Only wisps of Seven-Colored Divine Light spiraled around.
None of the beings who arrived felt the slightest discomfort, no matter where they had come from. Everything here seemed like a dream, and their first impressions were of comfort and peace.
When Tang Ya first entered, she too felt that this place was dreamlike. She became even more certain that, as long as she received a reward, she would be able to avenge the Tang Sect's past tragedy.
After adjusting a little, she instinctively began looking for familiar faces, though she knew her chances were slim when so few people had been chosen from the entire Douluo Continent.
But what if someone she knew really was here?
To Tang Ya's surprise, she actually found a familiar face in this space.
Without hesitating, she walked over to Huo Yuhao and patted his shoulder.
"Yuhao, I never expected you to be chosen to come here too."
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had only just arrived and had yet to gather their wits. Both stood rooted to the spot in a daze, and Huo Yuhao only reacted when he heard that familiar voice.
Seeing the girl with a ponytail and large, lively eyes, Huo Yuhao's face lit up, and he called out happily.
"Teacher Xiaoya! You're here too?"
Huo Yuhao was still a child, after all. Although he was far more mature than other children his age, he could not help feeling happy to see someone he knew, especially when that person was his teacher.
Tang Ya could not help smiling at the sight of little Yuhao either, and she patted his shoulder with relief.
"It seems our Tang Sect isn't destined to perish. Two of us have made it here! I believe that once we leave, our Tang Sect will rise again."
Huo Yuhao agreed with her. He knew that his teacher Xiaoya's greatest wish was to revive the Tang Sect.
"Teacher Xiaoya is right. The Tang Sect will definitely rise again."
Hearing little Yuhao agree with her, Tang Ya's heart blossomed with joy, and she rubbed his little face.
"Our little Yuhao is such a good boy. So adorable."
Huo Yuhao blushed at her fussing.
At the side, Wang Dong trembled slightly when she heard the words "Tang Sect," then asked in surprise, "You're members of the Tang Sect?"
Hearing this, Tang Ya remembered her responsibilities as sect leader and instinctively began trying to recruit her.
"That's right. There are only three people in the Tang Sect now, and I'm its current Tang Sect Leader. Well? Surprised, aren't you? Want to join? The Tang Sect welcomes you."
It was not that Tang Ya was being careless. Everyone who had come here might receive a reward. Although she did not yet know what those rewards would be, judging by the earlier display, they would certainly be substantial and might even present tremendous opportunities.
Recruiting someone who had a chance to receive such an opportunity would be good for the Tang Sect. Besides, this youngster's soul power appeared solid and concentrated, far surpassing Yuhao's.
But to Tang Ya's surprise, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Wang Dong actually nodded at her.
"Sure! I've heard about the wonders of the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons for a long time. Sect Leader Tang, I'd like to join the Tang Sect. Please accept me."
"Huh? You really want to join our Tang Sect? We only have three people left now."
Tang Ya was astonished, her gaze full of bewilderment as she looked at Wang Dong.
Wang Dong nodded earnestly. "I want to join the Tang Sect and learn about hidden weapons."
Tang Ya's expression turned solemn. "Let me think about this. I'll give you an answer later."
While they were still talking, an evil aura suddenly sent a jolt through all their hearts.
Everyone looked up together and saw an enormous, deep-blue figure.
That figure was none other than the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's wife-the Demon Empress.
Tang San, whose physique, appearance, and age had all changed completely, also felt his pupils contract at the sight of that somewhat familiar figure.
Yes, he too had arrived in this space, right while he and Xiao Wu were watching Tang Wutong.
But unlike the others, when he arrived, not only had all his divine power vanished, but his entire being had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
Unless he openly revealed who he was, even Xiao Wu would probably fail to recognize him face-to-face.
He had no idea what sort of power could leave him utterly incapable of resisting.
But now was not the time to ponder that, because he had recognized what that familiar figure was.
It was actually a Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!
Tang San still remembered slaying a Deep Sea Demonic Whale King before becoming a god. It had been a soul beast infinitely close to a million years old, the undisputed overlord of the seas.
He was certain that this Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was connected to the one he had killed.
Now, he was somewhat afraid that this Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would seek him out for revenge.
He did not have so much as a trace of soul power, and even his body was terribly frail, no different from an ordinary person's. If he were recognized, he would truly be on a road leading only to death.
Although the sky-screen had said that fighting was forbidden within this space, what if that Deep Sea Demonic Whale King really attacked? Would he not be left without any hope of survival?
While Tang San was still pondering this, another silvery-white figure arrived in the space.
This figure was none other than the true ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, the sovereign of all soul beasts, and the Dragon God's other half-the Silver Dragon King.
Having served as a God King in the Divine Realm for so long, Tang San possessed extraordinary knowledge. The instant this figure appeared, he recognized the soul beast's identity.
He had not expected even her to appear here. Just what sort of being had created this sky-screen?
Seeing so many humans and soul beasts below, the Silver Dragon King had no intention of attacking.
With her strength, she naturally understood how extraordinary this sky-screen was. Attacking recklessly could very well bring harm upon herself, and she had no desire for that.
With a flash of white light, the Silver Dragon King assumed human form, becoming a breathtakingly beautiful girl.
The girl had long silver hair that reached her ankles, fair yet slightly pale skin, and a pair of extraordinarily beautiful eyes, their purple irises clear and limpid.
She truly was a peerless beauty. For a moment, the entire space fell silent.
Sensing an aura countless times stronger than her own, the Demon Empress's heart jolted.
She had believed herself to be the strongest being on the Douluo Continent. How could she have imagined that an even stronger soul beast existed in this world?
Faced with this, she forcibly reined in her pride and likewise assumed human form.
In human form, she looked stunningly beautiful yet otherworldly, her bearing majestic, cold, and alluring. She exuded a distinct temptation, like a lofty mountain that made others yearn to conquer her.
The appearance of these two powerful beings shook everyone deeply. Even Ye Xishui felt that she was no match for either of them.
For a time, the atmosphere throughout the space became somewhat oppressive.
Just as the space fell into silence, that solemn, majestic voice rang out once more.
[The answering session begins now.]
