"Master!"
The youth clung tightly to the pavilion master's leg, his tears soaking the fabric.
"Good! Good!"
Ye Wuye's eyebrows trembled as he choked out the words.
The Proof of Godhood.
He had participated three times, never expecting to have a chance to participate a fourth time.
Ordinary demigods.
Those with outstanding talent could become demigods within a hundred years.
If they were lucky enough to catch a new Proof of Godhood, a Limit Douluo's lifespan of just over three hundred years would still only let them participate three times at most.
Although he was skilled at preserving his health and had fortunately lived past four hundred.
Twenty years at most.
Then he would return to dust. He had never imagined he would have another chance to try his luck.
Confusion showed on Dugu Bo's face.
"Pavilion Master, just what sort of opportunity is this Proof of Godhood that's opening ahead of schedule?"
"Even a powerhouse like you is so excited about it?"
Dugu Yan also pricked up her ears curiously.
They had been here for over half a month, yet had never heard this name.
Ye Wuye stroked his disciple's head. Once his emotions settled, he quietly began to explain.
"The Proof of Godhood is a grand event held once every century in our Human Emperor World!"
"When it begins, all the demigods will engage in a series of brutal battles."
"The final victor will receive a God Position Seed personally condensed by the Human Emperor, gaining a greater chance of becoming a god."
These words spread through the Sky Screen, reaching across the Douluo Continent ten thousand years earlier.
"Becoming a god?"
"No wonder it's called the Proof of Godhood. It really does have something to do with becoming a god."
"The Human Emperor can even help people become gods? Isn't that a little too powerful?"
Everyone found it hard to believe.
Gods were unfamiliar to them, but they instinctively felt that this situation made no sense.
"Ridiculous!"
"Even gods can't help people become gods. How could a mere Human Emperor possibly do it?"
Spirit Hall.
Qian Daoliu disparaged the Sky Screen with disdain.
He felt he had finally caught a flaw in the Human Emperor.
As a believer and divine attendant of the Angel God, he knew perfectly well that even the Angel God could not make someone without the aptitude for godhood into a god.
Only those who possessed a Godhood Inheritance and passed the Nine God Exams could become gods.
That was an ironclad law!
Human Emperor, oh, Human Emperor.
This high priest would like to see just what this so-called God Position Seed of yours is.
Qian Daoliu held his hands before his chest and calmly looked up.
But.
What if?
His hands suddenly tightened around his arms without his realizing it.
Qian Daoliu, what are you thinking? This is clearly impossible!
Qian Daoliu forcefully shook the stray thoughts from his head, his expression turning cold again.
The Papal Palace.
Not far away, Bibi Dong likewise could not help rising to her feet.
Hundreds of Limit Douluos.
Battles between all the demigods.
What a spectacular sight that would be.
And there was godhood, too. If the other party really reached that step, it would be a perfect chance to watch.
Bibi Dong thought to herself that she was going to become a god anyway. Others' paths to failure would serve as experience for her.
Deep beneath the sea.
Seawater churned violently, and waves of deep roars echoed endlessly.
Countless Sea Soul Beasts scattered in panic, not daring to remain in these waters for even a moment.
All because that voice was the most terrifying sound in this sea.
"No!"
"Why can't I participate in the Proof of Godhood? Why!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King grew utterly agitated.
Only one final, thin membrane separated him from becoming a million-year soul beast.
Given just one opportunity, he could become a god.
And he had found that opportunity.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's gaze was resolute, yet filled with unwillingness.
With his combat strength, he was confident that as long as he participated, he would certainly take the championship.
After all, he was a nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year soul beast. Below the gods, I am invincible!
Human Emperor World.
Just wait. Sooner or later, this king will go there.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's voice vanished into the dark depths of the ocean.
Peerless Tang Sect? Not even a dog would go there.
To think that he, the mighty Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, would actually be slain by Tang San?
How laughable.
In this life, he would become a god and stand above all living beings. He absolutely would not meet such a miserable end.
The Human Emperor World.
Outside the imperial palace of the Star Luo Empire.
A figure tumbled wretchedly to the ground.
Dai Mubai pushed himself up from the ground, his clothes disheveled and his face livid.
"Dai Mubai."
"Mountains and rivers may change, but one's nature never does."
"To think you would dare sneak into the Star Luo princess's rear courtyard with evil intentions. Your crime is truly heinous."
"Get out! The Star Luo Empire doesn't welcome you."
Contempt filled Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
A black-haired Titled Douluo stood behind her. He was the one who had just thrown Dai Mubai out.
Dai Mubai stared fixedly at Zhu Zhuqing, his fury fully ignited.
"Zhu Zhuqing, do you have to treat me like this?"
"I already told you, I only wandered in by accident!"
His heart brimmed with resentment.
It was all Zhu Zhuqing's fault.
If he had not seen that Zhu Zhuqing really was about to slip out of his control, joining the Zhu Family and even being formally acknowledged as one of their own.
Why would he have impulsively tried to break into the princess's residence to get back at Zhu Zhuqing?
Besides.
He had only wanted to use his good looks to attract the princess, making Zhu Zhuqing jealous and regretful.
He had no intention of actually doing anything.
But before he could act, Zhu Zhuqing had discovered him.
Zhu Zhuqing could not be bothered to waste more words on him and coldly instructed the Titled Douluo beside her.
"Uncle Stick, throw him out."
"Zhu Zhuqing! Don't forget, you're my fiancée! You have been since birth. Everyone in the Star Luo Empire knows it. You can try to change that, but you never will, not in this lifetime!"
Dai Mubai roared through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Shut up!"
"Duke Zhu Zhuqing is now a duke of the empire. How dare you slander her here?"
Uncle Stick rebuked him with a hostile expression.
Dai Mubai's words had thoroughly touched Zhu Zhuqing's reverse scale.
What she hated most was that marriage agreement, which had weighed on her for over ten years.
"Noisy."
"Break his legs."
A chill rose in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes as she revealed her ruthlessness for the first time.
She had never been a kind, docile person.
Otherwise, she would never have escaped her own sister's assassination attempts.
Dai Mubai's pupils contracted sharply, disbelief covering his face.
Beneath the Sky Screen.
"How dare she!"
The Star Luo Emperor slammed the table, laughing in his extreme fury.
How dare a mere Zhu Zhuqing act so outrageously?
Did she really think the Star Luo Imperial Family had no one left and could be bullied at will?
He had already felt stifled enough watching others take over the Star Luo Imperial Palace and seeing Dai Mubai driven out of it.
He had never expected Zhu Zhuqing to actually dare lay hands on Dai Mubai.
He was furious, but the Titled Douluo in the Sky Screen would not hesitate.
Uncle Stick stepped forward and brought his foot down on Dai Mubai's legs.
Crack!
The crisp sound of bones breaking rang out.
"Aaah!"
An agonized scream tore through the air. Dai Mubai clutched his thighs in pain, cold sweat soaking his clothes.
"Insolence!"
"Summon the Nether Duke! Let's see how he raised his daughter."
The Star Luo Emperor shattered the table before him with a palm strike, his fury soaring to the heavens.
Dai Mubai was the Star Luo Empire's hope for the future, the God of War in whom they had placed such high hopes!
He would never allow anyone to humiliate him so easily.
At that moment.
He had even formed a plan to divide his forces along two routes.
Some would enter the Peerless Tang Sect world, while others would enter the Human Emperor World to assassinate Zhu Zhuqing.
He would let the world know.
Anyone who offended the Star Luo Empire could not escape punishment, even by fleeing to another world.
It would also demonstrate his stance and reassure Dai Mubai, so that Dai Mubai would not lose heart.
Mubai, rest assured.
The Star Luo Empire will always stand behind you.
However, before his anger could subside.
Before you continue
