Although he had gone into seclusion to cultivate, he also suppressed this river along the way.
Yet over the long passage of years, human tribes had gradually emerged in this stretch of river.
After all, humanity's current circumstances were truly miserable.
Although fortune favored them, the problem was that after Nüwa created humans and became a Saint, she had remained in Nüwa Palace without venturing out.
The Human Clan was frail, possessing neither heaven-reaching divine abilities nor powerful bodies.
An adult man could not even match an ordinary wild beast.
For tens of millions of years, the Human Clan could only drift from place to place, surviving in scattered tribes.
Thus, the Human Clan became food for the witch and demon races.
Although Heavenly Emperor Di Jun had repeatedly declared that humans were not to be persecuted, since the Human Clan had, after all, been created by the Saint Nüwa.
And when the Demon Court was established, three sovereigns were honored together.
The Demon Sovereign, Emperor Wa, and Sovereign Xi.
The Heavenly Court had to show Nüwa some respect.
But while the demons in the Heavenly Court drew imperial stipends and naturally had no designs on humans, they could not stop their subordinates and the great demons of the Primordial World from wantonly hunting the Human Clan.
It merely looked good on the surface.
The Witch Clan was no different. Although Houtu was kind by nature, she could not prevent her subordinates from obeying in public while defying her in private.
In short, the Human Clan had it rough.
As for this particular group of Human Clan tribes, he had merely helped them in passing.
After all, the Human Clan had already been made part of someone's scheme. What could he possibly stake on coveting the fortune behind humanity?
Still, casually sheltering them and forging a good karmic bond was quite nice.
"But I've ordered them time and again: no young boys or girls."
Although he ate meat, humans were another matter.
Yet these damned, feudal-minded, ignorant humans not only regarded him as their tribe's guardian deity, but also believed they had to sacrifice their own people to receive his protection.
Was he that sort of dragon?
"Hmm? Wait, something's not right about this person."
"No, should I say dragon?"
Xu You was somewhat uncertain, because he had actually sensed a dragon's presence coming from the little girl before him.
"Could she be some Dragon Clan family's child who took human form and sneaked out?"
Ever since the Dragon Clan suffered punishment from the Heavenly Dao, its reproduction had been restricted. The once-prosperous Dragon Clan.
Now even its dragon population was gradually dwindling.
"To think I'd actually pick up a dragon."
"But it isn't safe outside right now. Since she's one of my kind, I'll look after her."
The next moment, an ancient, vast, weighty draconic might that suppressed eternity slowly spread through this stretch of river.
An incomparably imposing dragon silhouette slowly appeared in the void.
Its entire body was covered in scales like dark-gold ancient jade. Its long, slender body coiled outside the old temple, its head looking curiously at the girl inside.
The girl showed no fear at the sight of him. Instead, she seemed to feel some closeness to him and ran toward him.
Meanwhile, within the sky screen.
The Douluo Continent went into a frenzy after witnessing all this.
The Divine Realm!
Only the Divine Realm could possibly possess such magnificent, sacred power.
Even the Abyss Plane, which had originally intended to invade, abruptly stopped and instantly went into hiding without a second thought.
Wasn't the disappearance of the Divine Realm precisely why they dared invade the Douluo Plane?
But if the Divine Realm returned now, it would probably spell their destruction.
For Yun Ming, becoming a god lay within a single thought.
As long as the Divine Realm reappeared, he could become a god on the spot.
The Divine Realm!
This had to be the Divine Realm!
The Federation and the Spirit Pagoda were likewise excited, yet conflicted.
If the Divine Realm returned, wouldn't Shrek Academy's power rise another step?
But when everyone saw the dragon silhouette appear on the sky screen, they were somewhat dumbfounded.
"A dragon? Where did that dragon come from?"
"Didn't they say there were no dragons left in the Divine Realm?"
"Is that the Divine Realm or not? Why haven't we seen any humans?"
"Look, there's a little girl over there. That dragon isn't going to eat someone, is it?"
"No, the divine lord will definitely save him."
This wasn't the Divine Realm!
Within Tang Wulin's sea of consciousness, Tang San's expression had turned utterly grim.
He could clearly sense that the other party's power surpassed his own.
But how was that possible!
His true body had long since become a God King, and after the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction perished, he had even gained complete control over the Divine Realm.
He had also temporarily taken control of the Seed of Life and the Seed of Destruction.
He could cultivate using the Divine Realm Core, the Seed of Life, and the Seed of Destruction.
Practically every kind of God King resource was being poured into him, and his strength was soaring.
His strength had already reached a terrifying level.
He could even attempt to reach the realm of the former lord of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon God.
Supreme God King.
But what was this dragon before him?
Weren't Soul Beasts unable to become gods? Hadn't the Dragon Clan already been wiped out? Where had this dragon come from? And a God King dragon at that.
"Fake. This must be fake."
He possessed Dual Godhood and could be called the strongest God King of the future.
Even if the Dragon God revived, he felt that the other party might not necessarily surpass him.
"What exactly is this place?"
"Will it interfere with my ten-thousand-year plan?"
Tang San remained silent for a long time, then immediately contacted the contingency he had left behind-his father, Tang Hao, who had now become the Plane Master of the Douluo Continent.
He wanted him to shut down this damned sky screen.
He could sense that world was very far from the Douluo Continent, so regardless of whether the other party could descend upon the Douluo Continent.
He had to stabilize this plane first.
"I won't let you ruin my ten-thousand-year plan!"
"Otherwise, I'll show you what it means to have already courted death!"
Meanwhile, in the true Divine Realm!
Tang San, who was playing Honor of Kings, abruptly looked back. The Divine Realm, drifting through the universe billions of light-years away, had also seen the images within this sky screen.
What was this place?
Could it be a brand-new world?
But when he saw that true Yinglong form spanning heaven and earth, reigning across eternity.
No!
He could not possibly be mistaken.
"A God King! It's actually a God King?"
"How is this possible?"
"Ever since the Dragon God Rebellion, Soul Beasts have been forever barred from becoming gods. How could a Soul Beast possibly become a god in this world? And a dragon at that?"
"What's going on? Kindness! Evil!"
"Is that the Dragon God?"
But faced with Tang San's questions, Kindness and Evil, as second-generation gods, naturally had not experienced that great battle of the past either.
Now that Life and Destruction had sacrificed themselves, almost no gods from the Dragon God's era remained in the Divine Realm, so naturally they did not know exactly what was happening.
The Douluo God Realm had already been under immense pressure facing the other six great Divine Realms alone.
Now, unexpectedly, another brand-new world had appeared.
Tang San was very worried. Would it affect his ten-thousand-year plan?
And most importantly, the other party was a Dragon Clan God King.
If he appeared on the Douluo Continent, could the contingencies Tang San had left behind deal with a Soul Beast God King?
At that moment, Tang San was deeply anxious. He still wanted to subdue the other six great Divine Realms and become the true master of the Divine Realm.
He had practically settled on a name already: the Tang Family Divine Realm.
Of course, even if he subdued them in the end, he would not be that brazen.
He could also use another name: the Great God Realm.
His son-in-law Huo Yuhao, standing beside him, offered reassurance. "Don't worry, Father-in-law. Our Douluo God Realm has a full six God Kings, and I'm about to ascend to the position of God King as well."
"A mere Dragon Clan God King—if he dares invade, we'll make certain he never returns!"
