The Gods Collectively Lose Their Composure: Even an Unrealized Future Must Be Reckoned With

In the past.

Divine Realm Core.

When Wu Wei's words came from the sky screen, the Divine Realm Core fell silent for a moment.

Then it erupted.

"What did he just say?"

The God of War took a sudden step forward, his tiger-like eyes wide as he stared fixedly at Wu Wei's face on the sky screen. "All the gods in the Divine Realm had their levels reset to zero?"

"That's impossible!" The God of Speed practically leaped into the air, his voice cracking. "It's one thing for divine punishment to punish the lower realm, but why should our Divine Realm be caught up in it too?"

"Exactly! That makes no sense!"

"The Divine Realm is the Divine Realm, and the lower realm is the lower realm. No matter how great divine punishment's authority is, surely it can't cross that boundary?"

"That's right! We didn't interfere with the lower realm!"

"..."

The gods all spoke at once, turning the Divine Realm Core into a boiling pot of noise.

When they had seen Tang San, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue have their levels reset to zero, they had already worried about the scope of the Divine Punishment of Equality for All Beings.

After seeing the Angel God and Rakshasa God both punished as well, they had grown even more worried.

But there had been no proof, after all. The Angel God and Rakshasa God might have been punished because they had intervened in the lower realm.

And now this.

Wu Wei's words had all but confirmed their suspicions.

In the future, the Divine Punishment of Equality for All Beings would encompass the entire world, including the Divine Realm where they resided.

Every god in the entire Divine Realm had been reset to zero by divine punishment.

"Damn it!" The God of War smashed a fist into the floor of the Divine Realm Core, making the entire palace shake three times. His face was livid as he gnashed his teeth. "Who was it? Who was responsible for this fine deed in the future? They dragged the entire Divine Realm into it!"

"Repeatedly interfering with the lower realm..." the God of Speed muttered, his face pale. "They really have no face at all. If they want to court death, they shouldn't drag us down with them..."

"I never imagined the entire Divine Realm would be called to account."

"Yes, it's terrifying!"

"Whoever it is," the God of War said, abruptly raising his head and sweeping his gaze over all the gods present, his voice low and furious, "whoever brings down divine punishment in the future, once the truth comes out, we must punish them, even if that future hasn't happened yet!"

The Asura God had said this before. The God of War was his subordinate, and this time he intended to make the proposal a reality.

As soon as he said it, the gods voiced their support.

"Exactly!" The God of Speed was the first to agree. "They dragged the entire Divine Realm down with them. Whoever they are, they must face punishment!"

"I agree," the God of Destruction said coldly. "Whoever he is, whatever his status, whether he's a God King or a God of Law Enforcement, he must pay the price."

"The future hasn't happened yet?" The God of Fate pushed up his glasses, his voice calm but chilling. "Then we'll settle accounts in advance. Before it happens, we'll snuff out the source."

"I second that!"

"I second that!"

"I second it as well!"

One god after another spoke up, each more forceful than the last.

Before, only the Asura God had mentioned it, but now they had collectively endorsed it.

And the scope had expanded to include every god, even the Five Great God Kings.

"Asura God." The God of Destruction turned to look at the Asura God, his gaze grave. "What do you think about this?"

The Asura God stood among the gods, his dark red divine armor gleaming coldly in the divine light. Expressionless, he was silent for a moment before speaking slowly. "The divine punishment has already proven that it will indeed happen in the future. Since it will happen, that means the source exists in the present. Settling accounts in advance is reasonable."

He paused, then added, "But first, we need to know who it is."

The gods nodded in agreement.

Then, as one, everyone turned their eyes to two people.

The Angel God and the Rakshasa God.

"Why are you looking at me?" The Angel God's expression instantly soured, and her body tensed slightly beneath her golden divine armor. "I already said it. At most, I went easy on my junior during her divine trials. Anything else is absolutely impossible!"

"Neither did I!" the Rakshasa God said firmly.

The Asura God's dark red eyes swept over the two of them. "Whether it was you or not, we'll know when the sky screen finishes playing."

Both fell silent, though aggrieved anger burned in their eyes.

The gods also suppressed their anger for the time being and turned back to the sky screen.

Beneath the sky screen.

All living beings on the Douluo Continent were also in a state of unprecedented shock.

"No way..."

"Every god in the Divine Realm had their level reset to zero?"

"And they were all thrown down to the lower realm? Not a single god in the entire Divine Realm got away?"

"That's way too ruthless..."

"Doesn't that mean a whole bunch of gods will appear on the Douluo Continent in the future?"

"Does anyone know how many gods there are?"

"Who knows? I always thought gods were just legends..."

"..."

Beneath the sky screen, countless people were discussing it.

In the sky screen's image, the Angel God soon answered Wu Wei's question as well.

"That's right. Every god in the Divine Realm had their level reset to zero. Not one escaped divine punishment!"

"As for whether the other gods fell onto the Douluo Continent, I don't know!"

The Angel God told Wu Wei what she knew.

She and the Rakshasa God had been dragged down from the Divine Realm, so they had seen the other gods reset to zero and thrown out of the Divine Realm as well.

"Little brother, can you delete it now?"

The Rakshasa God looked at Wu Wei with her purple eyes and slowly smiled.

"I'm sorry, but your answers didn't satisfy me!"

"So I'll be putting this away for now!"

Wu Wei spread his hands, then put the recording Soul Tool into his Storage Soul Tool.

"Damn mortal!"

The Rakshasa God's gaze turned cold. After glancing at the Angel God, she charged at Wu Wei first.

Whoosh~

Behind her, the Angel God charged at Wu Wei as well, the two moving in perfect unison.

Though they didn't get along, they had reached a certain understanding: they would never allow anyone to record and keep footage of them making fools of themselves.

"Come on, then!"

Wu Wei immediately smiled at the sight.

He also happened to want to test what the gods were made of.

If they had been the Angel God and Rakshasa God of old, he naturally wouldn't have dared.

But the ones before him now were merely two women who had just lost their powers.

"Self-Created Soul Skill: Roaming Dragon Step!"

Faced with the Angel God and Rakshasa God's combined attack, Wu Wei moved like a swimming dragon, dodging their attacks with his hands behind his back.

"A Soul Skill?!"

"Where did you get Soul Power at a time like this?"

After their combined attack missed, the Angel God and Rakshasa God turned to look at Wu Wei, who had already dodged behind them, and their eyes widened.

They were truly shocked.

Hadn't everyone's level been reset to zero?

How could the brat in front of them still use a Soul Skill?

Shouldn't everyone's Soul Power be at zero right now?

"Why are you so surprised?"

"It's been ten or twenty minutes since our levels were reset to zero, hasn't it? Don't tell me you still haven't cultivated any Soul Power?"

Wu Wei chuckled to himself, but wore an expression even more surprised than theirs.
