The God of Destruction had the same question.
"I wonder whether the Divine Realm will be under my leadership or Tang San's ten thousand years into the Douluo Continent's future."
He knew very well that the conflict between him and Tang San had become irreconcilable, especially after the last incident.
Then he would certainly take action in the future!
There was something else that intrigued him.
"Where did that boy named Tang Wulin get his Golden Dragon King bloodline?"
Wasn't the Golden Dragon King safely imprisoned in the Divine Realm?
Why would an ordinary person possess his bloodline?
Outside the sky screen,
Faced with the mockery of the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy students, Gu Yue's anger soared. She was determined to teach these arrogant fools a lesson!
But Luo Chen stopped her.
"Gu Yue, leave this to me," Luo Chen said softly.
These days, no one believed you even when you told the truth!
Then Luo Chen walked up to the students, a savage, primordial aura surging out of him and pinning them in place.
"For Xu Jiujiu's sake, I was going to let this slide."
"But because of your stupidity, I'm going to erase the Star Luo Royal Academy from the Douluo Continent!"
Outside the sky screen, even Xu Jiawei was rubbing his hands together, itching to teach these clueless fools a lesson!
Luo Chen had been willing to overlook their behavior, yet these people had actually become addicted to mocking him!
"Don't you know how little you amount to?"
Elsewhere, Vina heard Luo Chen mention Xu Jiujiu.
"Luo Chen, do you still like Sister Jiujiu more?"
Vina remembered how Luo Chen had once brought Xu Jiujiu along and pulled her over to swear brotherhood together, saying they would become sworn siblings of different sexes from that day onward.
Fortunately, Xu Jiujiu had been quick-witted enough to say they should forget about becoming siblings of different sexes and simply swear a bond as precious as gold and orchids!
Those days had been the happiest of Vina's life.
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, Wang Dong'er's heart lurched.
"When did Luo Chen get involved with Xu Jiujiu?"
Wang Dong'er looked up at Luo Chen in the sky screen, a bad feeling welling up in her heart.
In the sky screen, Luo Chen approached the students step by step.
At the same time, the phantom of an enormous Ice Jade Scorpion appeared behind Luo Chen.
Unlike an ordinary Ice Jade Scorpion, however, its entire tail was a deep emerald green.
"Bing'er, I'll leave this to you," Luo Chen told the Ice Empress in his Sea of Consciousness.
"Hmph, all you ever do is order me around!" The Ice Empress puffed up her cheeks and pouted.
A few breaths later, the students felt cold all over. Their soul power had already been frozen by the Ice Empress.
Now they could neither use their martial souls nor mobilize their soul power!
"Ice Explosion..."
"Wait."
The Ice Empress was about to unleash the Ice Explosion Technique, but Luo Chen stopped her.
"There's no rush. It's not time yet." Luo Chen smiled mysteriously. He still had an important use for these people, so he couldn't simply blow them up.
"Hurry up and undo this!" The short, stocky student panicked.
Without his soul power, how was he any different from an ordinary person?
"Are you telling me what to do?" Luo Chen regarded them coldly.
"It'll come undone on its own in a few months. Or you can undo it once your soul power reaches the Quasi-God level."
Just then, the private car arranged by the Star Luo Empire arrived. As Luo Chen brought Gu Yue inside, something suddenly occurred to him.
"Don't say I didn't warn you. If you force it open with outside help, I can't guarantee your soul power won't vanish completely."
With that, the car drove off, leaving the Star Luo Royal Academy students cursing furiously, utterly flustered in the wind!
"Captain, what do we do now?" On the bus arranged by the Star Luo Empire, the short, stocky young man asked the person beside him.
Without soul power, there was no point in attending the Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament!
"I never imagined he was this strong! He actually froze our soul power!"
"No, he used some sort of soul tool," the captain of the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy students said.
He refused to believe Luo Chen could be that powerful. He must have relied on something external.
No matter how strong Luo Chen was, could he possibly be stronger than the Monster Academy's Dragon Lunatic?
Had Luo Chen heard that, he would certainly have said one thing.
Dragon Lunatic? Just a speed bump.
Inside the Soul Tool Car, Luo Chen checked the affection panel.
"What on earth is going on?" Luo Chen was baffled.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yue asked when she noticed his confusion.
"Nothing. It's nothing." Luo Chen checked Gu Yue's affection panel.
[Current Gu Yue affection: 468/100]
It's gotten this high?
It seemed his efforts during their time aboard the ocean liner hadn't been wasted.
Luo Chen checked the others again.
[Current Na'er affection: 89/100] [Current Qian Renxue affection: 489/100] [Current Hu Liena affection: 888/100] [Current Ning Rongrong affection: 479/100] [Current Wang Dong'er affection: 561/100] [Current Wang Qiu'er affection: 976/100] [Current Xu Jiujiu affection: 952/100] [Current Vina affection: 466/100]
Na'er's affection was slowly increasing every day. He believed it would reach 100 before long. Once Gu Yue and Na'er merged into Gu Yuena, he could claim the system's first reward!
But why were the other affection scores like a roller coaster?
Only Wang Qiu'er's and Xu Jiujiu's were rising steadily.
Everyone else's affection scores looked like an electrocardiogram, rising one moment and falling the next!
Every time they rose a little, they dropped a great deal!
But one person was an exception.
Why does Hu Liena's score rise for a while, then fall for a while?
Doesn't that mean it's barely dropped at all?
"Luo Chen, do you think relations between the Sun Moon Federation and the Star Luo Empire will improve?"
As Luo Chen started the Soul Tool Car, Gu Yue suddenly asked.
"No. I believe war will come before long," Luo Chen answered as he drove.
"Even with the Tang Sect helping the Star Luo Empire, the gap in technology is simply too great. It's only a matter of time before the empire is destroyed."
Gu Yue sighed. Soul guidance technology had become far too advanced. Even if she led all the ferocious beasts into battle against humanity, their chances of victory would be slim.
Perhaps the soul beasts would only have a sliver of hope once she retrieved the Dragon God Core from Dragon Valley!
At that moment, Luo Chen was thinking as well.
Ten thousand years from now, Tang San will return to the Douluo Continent with the Divine Realm, which will have become the Great God Realm.
The Great God Realm has twelve God King-level powerhouses. That really will be difficult to handle.
In the sky screen, Sea God Tang San was smug when he heard this.
"As expected, the Divine Realm grows ever stronger under my leadership!"
Meanwhile, the God of Destruction felt rather dejected.
"Twenty thousand years from now, the Divine Realm will still be under Tang San's leadership?"
Unaware of what the two God Kings were thinking, Luo Chen continued pondering.
If I had the Destruction Seed and Seed of Life in Tang San's possession, perhaps I could go to Devil Island and resurrect the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life, whom Tang San got killed.
Tang San kept claiming he would resurrect the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life, yet after returning with the Great God Realm, he turned around and gave away the destruction godhood and life godhood. He really forgot his roots! He might as well rename himself the God of Forgotten Roots!
The God of Destruction: ??
"In the future, Tang San actually gets me killed? Even Xiao Lu..."
The God of Destruction was undoubtedly furious now. Purple-black Destruction Divine Thunder swirled around him in an endless stream.
The God of Destruction intended to go down in a blast with Tang San! He would shatter Tang San with thunder!
Come to think of it, if Tang San had agreed to the God of Destruction's expansion plan sooner, perhaps the Divine Realm wouldn't have been swept away by Space-Time Turbulence. The God of Destruction and Goddess of Life wouldn't have fallen, either, and the Golden Dragon King wouldn't have seized the chance to escape and throw the Divine Realm into chaos, Luo Chen continued thinking.
"Good, good, good! I was right all along! Tang San! I'll make you pay!"
Elsewhere, Sea God Tang San thought nothing of what he had heard.
"Swept away by Space-Time Turbulence? So what?"
"In ten thousand years, I'll lead twelve God Kings back to the Douluo Continent anyway! Twelve whole God Kings! That should be enough to dominate the universe."
"Ten thousand years on the Douluo Continent is only sixty years in the Divine Realm, isn't it? In just sixty short years, I'll nearly triple the Divine Realm's strength!"
"Sacrificing two God Kings in exchange for twelve? What a bargain!"
In the Spirit Hall era, Yu Xiaogang burst into laughter again upon hearing this.
"If little San brought forth twelve God Kings, doesn't that mean I've trained twelve God King-level powerhouses?"
Then Yu Xiaogang turned to Flender and Liu Erlong.
"From now on, don't call me Grandmaster. Call me the teacher of God Kings!"
Meanwhile, outside the sky screen, Luo Chen turned to Gu Yue.
To stand against Tang San, the Dragon God's power was essential. Since Gu Yue's affection was already high enough, he might as well...
At that moment, Luo Chen suddenly asked,
"Gu Yue, why do you cultivate so desperately?"
"I don't know."
"I think it's to revive the soul beasts, isn't it?"
"Am I right, Gu Yue?"
"Or perhaps I should call you the Silver Dragon King."
