"You!"
"If you have no solution, then shut your mouth!"
Du Busi's stubborn defiance enraged Xuan Zi.
Du Busi turned his head away disdainfully.
What timeline?
He would never believe it, even if beaten to death. How could a real, tangible world vanish into thin air because of a decision made by people ten thousand years ago?
Even a god could not do that.
The others fell silent, their thoughts unknown.
Just then.
A deafening boom suddenly rang out in the sky.
A radiant golden Sky Screen spread across the heavens.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Everyone rushed out of the Sea God Pavilion together.
"What is that?"
Blazing Sun Douluo looked at the golden light in the sky and asked in surprise.
Mu En's eyes gleamed.
"Could this be the Sky Screen?"
"That's right."
"This is the Sky Screen our world can see, but... it seems a little different."
The past Di Tian looked puzzled.
There were no images on the Sky Screen, only a huge map covered in points of light in two different colors, gold and silver.
[Civilization Acceleration is more than halfway complete] [Current Support Rate for Peerless Tang Sect: 24%]
"This seems to be our world's Support Rate."
"The silver lights represent support for us, and the golden lights represent support for the Human Emperor World."
Realization dawned on Xuan Zi.
The Divine Realm.
The Asura God Temple.
Tang San abruptly pushed Xiao Wu out of his arms, golden light blazing from his eyes as he swept his gaze below the Divine Realm.
"How could this happen?"
Surprise showed on his face, and he was deeply puzzled.
Had the Douluo Continent plane actually slipped out of his perception for a brief moment just now?
"What's wrong, Brother San?"
Xiao Wu leaned closer, her voice gentle and concerned.
"It's nothing."
"It might have been my imagination."
Tang San embraced her, his tone reassuring.
He could sense the Douluo Continent again now, but that still did not dispel his doubts.
"Did something happen to Xiao Qi?"
Xiao Wu had never seen Tang San look so shocked since becoming a god, and she immediately thought something might have happened to their daughter.
"No."
"Don't imagine things. Xiao Qi is perfectly fine."
"But it does have something to do with her. Something has happened to the Douluo Continent."
Tang San's expression was serious.
The Douluo Continent was the most crucial part of his plan. He had gone to great lengths to lure his daughter down there precisely to tether the anomalous star.
To make the anomalous star, Huo Yuhao, a plaything in his palm.
But now, something seemed to have changed on the Douluo Continent.
The scenes from both timelines happened to be seen by the people ten thousand years earlier.
"What?"
"Why is Peerless Tang Sect's Support Rate only 24%? Why is it so low?"
"The Human Emperor World is as high as 76%!"
The same Sky Screen appeared in both worlds, but their Support Rates differed enormously.
"Wait, I haven't even done anything yet?"
In Feng Xiaotian's room, Electrolux stared blankly at the Sky Screen through the window.
Did this count as completing the mission?
But I haven't done anything.
"Looks like everyone still sees reason."
Feng Xiaotian, who was cultivating nearby, chuckled softly before continuing his cultivation.
Human Emperor First Academy!
I must get in.
His resolve was unwavering.
The Human Emperor World.
"76%?"
"Why is the Human Emperor World's rate so high?"
Tang San ran out of his room at the Research Institute and looked at the Sky Screen overhead, shocked.
Impossible!
Even if he had shown some of the Human Emperor World's technology, it could not possibly have caused such a huge change.
Where exactly did things go wrong?
Was it Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others?
Tang San's gaze turned icy. It had to be them.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were unlikely to betray him.
Grandmaster was even less likely to do so.
Just as these thoughts crossed his mind, Tang Hao suddenly reminded him with a grave expression.
"Little San, look more carefully."
"The Douluo Continent isn't the only continent on this map!"
"The people truly supporting the Human Emperor Empire are those on the other continents."
Hearing Tang Hao's reminder.
Tang San abruptly came to his senses and studied the map carefully. Only then did he notice, among the several continents displayed on the map,
the two colors of light on the Douluo Continent were not far apart in number, with the golden lights only slightly outnumbering the silver.
On the other continents, however,
the golden lights overwhelmingly outnumbered the silver ones.
What are the people on those other continents doing? Why must they oppose me?
Tang San clenched his fists, speaking angrily in his heart.
What benefit would entering the Human Emperor World bring them?
Aside from deeper Martial Soul research, more advanced Soul Tool development, faster cultivation...
What else did this place have?
Are they that unwilling to live under the rule of a Sea God like me?
Tang San was furious with the people of the other continents.
Ever since the Sky Screen descended and he learned that he would become a god, he had already regarded himself as the future Sea God.
He considered himself the future ruler of the world.
The Human Emperor World and all the rest were merely obstacles blocking his path to godhood.
All humans were his future subjects.
But now.
His subjects had betrayed him.
And all of this was because of the Human Emperor.
Human Emperor, you have already given me cause to kill you!
Intense killing intent filled Tang San's eyes.
The Human Emperor Hall.
Ji Xuanyuan watched the Sky Screen, while Gu Yuena beside him breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness."
She turned back and said, "As long as we maintain this ratio, the choice of worlds fifty days from now will definitely favor us."
"You can rest easy now, Xuanyuan."
"Mm!"
Ji Xuanyuan nodded lightly.
It seemed his earlier decision to send Electrolux to persuade the people ten thousand years earlier had been useful.
Only two weeks had passed, yet it had already produced such great results.
At this point, he still did not know that Electrolux had done nothing at all.
He just did not know
whether the gods of the other world would see this scene.
Ji Xuanyuan's gaze was deep.
Ever since taking control of the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago, he had cut it off from the Divine Realm.
The God of Destruction had once personally descended to investigate, only to be beaten back by him.
The God of Destruction was indeed quite strong, probably ranking first or second among the Divine Realm's Five Great God Kings. Recalling that cold-faced youth, Ji Xuanyuan acknowledged his strength.
But he's probably still recovering from his injuries now!
Ji Xuanyuan chuckled.
In that battle, the God of Evil had suffered grievous injuries.
He had not known.
As long as he was on the Douluo Continent, Ji Xuanyuan's power could recover endlessly.
With his current God King strength, anyone who wanted to kill him would first have to destroy the entire world to stop his endless recovery.
Otherwise, no number of God Kings would be enough.
But as it happened.
"For a God King, protecting a world is as simple as protecting a mung bean held in his palm."
Ji Xuanyuan opened his hand, then clenched it tightly.
Still not enough.
God King strength still isn't enough.
Once the people from the world ten thousand years earlier came over, his strength would grow even greater.
The Peerless Tang Sect world.
The Sky Screen had only just descended.
Another thunderclap exploded out of nowhere, and a massive human face appeared in the sky, its eyes calm, its features somewhat familiar.
"What's going on?"
"A face has appeared in the Peerless Tang Sect world. Why hasn't one appeared in the Human Emperor World?"
"Could the two worlds be different?"
"No! That face doesn't seem to have been created by the Sky Screen. He looks so much like Sea God Tang San!"
"Holy crap! A god has appeared in the Peerless Tang Sect world!"
Watching the Sky Screen, everyone ten thousand years earlier clutched their heads in shock.
[Peerless Tang Sect Support Rate: 26%] [Peerless Tang Sect Support Rate: 28%] [Peerless Tang Sect Support Rate: 33%] [...]
Peerless Tang Sect's Support Rate instantly skyrocketed.
