"If anyone is hostile to my clan, I will kill them. But if they have no grudges against us, I will naturally not exterminate them. Otherwise, how would I be any different from the Five Great God Kings of yesteryear?"
The Ice Dragon King slowly revealed his thoughts. He held no prejudice against human deities, since everyone present, except for himself and the Light Dragon King, was a human deity who had all helped the Soul Beast Clan to varying degrees. Therefore, he naturally did not harbor much hostility towards human deities.
"It's excellent that you have this idea, senior. In that case..."
"My child, I have almost fully recovered. In the coming period, I will lead some people to the Divine Realm Center to break the restrictions placed on our Soul Beast Clan by the Five Great God Kings. Once the restrictions are broken, our Soul Beast Clan will be able to cultivate normally and will no longer be troubled by the Heavenly Tribulation."
"Any Soul Beast with a cultivation level of 700,000 years or more has the opportunity to ascend to the Divine Realm."
The Ice Dragon King's tone was filled with wonder; he felt as if everything he was experiencing was a dream, that his Soul Beast Clan had actually...
Having their own deity was something that was previously impossible for the Soul Beast Clan to achieve. Even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who had cultivated for a million years, only reached the level of God Officer with Jun Yi's help.
"Senior, now that the Divine Realm Center has been restored, I won't interfere with the restrictions. You should be able to handle it yourself. I'd like to take some time to rest." Jun Yi looked at the Ice Dragon King with a hint of weariness in his eyes.
"Don't worry, child, leave this to me."
The Ice Dragon King smiled slightly, then bowed deeply to Jun Yi, "Child, thank you for everything you have done for our Soul Beast Clan."
"Senior, I'm just fulfilling a promise I made to you back then," Jun Yi said calmly.
"Child, you don't need to be so modest. Without your help, our Soul Beast Clan would probably continue to suffer oppression from the gods in the future."
At that moment, the earth began to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, the earth shook more and more violently, and the intense tremors even caused the entire Spirit City to tremble.
"What's going on? What happened?" the crowd asked, puzzled.
"Could it be..."
Jun Yi released all his Divine Power, instantly enveloping the entire Douluo Star. He then saw that the original docks near the western coast of the Douluo Continent had vanished without a trace, replaced by a new continent.
"Could it be that the great war with the gods caused changes in the ecology of Douluo Star, resulting in tectonic plate movement? Could it have caused the Sun Moon Continent to collide with the Douluo Continent ten thousand years earlier?"
Jun Yi guessed, because he sensed the existence of another vast empire on another continent, which should undoubtedly be the Sun Moon Empire. The highest cultivation level on the entire Sun Moon Continent was only that of Soul Douluo, which was far inferior to that of the Douluo Continent.
"Don't panic, everyone. It's just that another continent on this planet collided with the Douluo Continent and merged together," Jun Yi explained slowly to everyone.
"What? Another continent?" the people present exclaimed in surprise. They had no idea that another continent existed outside of the Douluo Continent.
"Well, don't panic. The strongest beings on that continent are only Soul Douluo; they won't pose a significant threat to us," the Ice Dragon King said calmly to the crowd.
"Furthermore, I sensed the presence of Soul Beast there as well. I'll have that little fish scout around, so everyone, don't worry."
Having said that, the Ice Dragon King turned to leave.
"Senior, please wait a moment." Jun Yi called out to the Ice Dragon King, and then hundreds of Godhood flew out from his hand and flew to the Ice Dragon King's side.
"This is..."
"Senior, you will be the ruler of the Divine Realm from now on. The responsibility of selecting the new gods will be entrusted to you. I have fulfilled my promise here, and I will not interfere in matters afterward," Jun Yi said with a smile.
The Ice Dragon King did not refuse and accepted the offer directly. "Rest assured, I will select a qualified person. The current Divine Realm is lacking far too many deities. I will appropriately waive the requirement for God Trial and focus on stabilizing the Divine Realm first."
In the imperial palace of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou Xue Ke was also awakened by the shaking. She quickly woke the handsome man sleeping beside her and asked in a panic, " Gu Xie, what happened?"
The handsome man opened his eyes, immediately pulled Xue Ke into his arms, and said, "Your Majesty, do not worry, I will have someone investigate shortly."
This handsome Gu Xie prime minister was actually Xie Yue in disguise. As for why he appeared in the emperor's palace, it was because Xue Ke took the initiative to approach him. Xue Ke was weak and powerless. Although she was nominally the Empress of Heaven Dou, she did not have much real power. Her ministers showed her respect on the surface, but they would not pay attention to the empress's requests.
Xue Ke had to find a helper, and that person was Gu Xie, the youngest "Prime Minister" of the Heaven Dou Empire.
As for Xie Yue, he naturally accepted any woman who came to him without hesitation. Of course, he had no feelings for Xue Ke.
He gave a mocking laugh, then walked out of the palace and headed straight for the main hall of the imperial palace.
He then sat directly on the dragon throne of the Heaven Dou Empire, looked down at the ministers below, and asked, "What has happened? Why is the earth trembling?"
"My lord, a message has arrived from Spirit City, saying that for some reason, another landmass has suddenly appeared in the west of the Douluo Continent, bordering the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire. After investigation, it has been discovered that another empire exists on that land," a minister below said.
"Another land? Isn't Douluo Continent the only one in this world? Has His Majesty given any instructions?" Xie Yue continued to inquire.
"Yes, the Spirit Hall Empire is preparing to launch a war to unify the country after the New Year. His Majesty Qian said that we should make the necessary preparations and directly conquer this new empire in the new continent by force."
