"You fucking said it wasn't you!"
Destruction roared, dark purple Divine Power flaring around him once more!
An endless air of destruction locked firmly onto Tang San!
The sky screen had just finished showing Tang San's final battle with Ye Xiao, and then punishment had suddenly descended!
Anyone could see what that meant!
But furious as Destruction was, he had enough restraint not to strike. He knew full well that in his current state, he would most likely beat Tang San half to death with a single blow.
Shameless as Tang San was, he was still a member of their Divine Realm.
Destruction's eyes turned fierce as he looked back at the sky screen.
He wanted to see what else the sky screen could show!
Besides, for Destruction to have attained his current cultivation, his resolve was naturally firm. He would not be frightened by a punishment that had yet to arrive, or might not arrive at all!
Destruction!
Tang San shot Destruction a venomous look, but said nothing more.
He knew full well what he needed to do most right now!
Tang San's icy gaze fixed on the equally stunned white-haired man on the sky screen.
Destruction would hurt him, but he would not kill him. And since his own future, world-shocking wisdom had wanted to kill this man even at the cost of abandoning a ten-thousand-year plan, the man must have something to do with his life and death!
Ye Xiao, was it?
With the sky screen here, I seem to have noticed you sooner.
Tang San narrowed his eyes, a trace of amusement actually rising in his heart.
[Ding-dong, a god has been detected continuing to neglect his duties, intending to interfere with the development of the Douluo Plane!] [As punishment, the levels of essence, Qi, and spirit of all living beings in this universe will be reduced to zero in 12 years, and the levels of all experts above First-Level God will be reduced to First-Level God.]
The familiar voice rang out once more in the ears of the countless living beings of the Douluo Universe.
Leaving aside the shock of the beings of the Douluo Plane, several bolts of crimson divine lightning came crashing down on the Divine Realm, blotting out the sky!
"Tang San!!!"
Unlike Life, Evil, and Kindness, who scurried about clutching their heads as the lightning struck them, Destruction immediately identified the true culprit behind this punishment!
The good news: Destruction had finally confirmed whether the sky screen's punishment was real!
The bad news: it was real!
Destruction trembled all over as his power slowly fell to that of a First-Level God. In response to his fury, the Destruction Scepter lit up with dark purple lightning!
"I'll kill you!!!"
Destruction shouted shrilly!
The thought that his cultivation would completely vanish in 12 years...
And that the source of that future stood right before him...
With the sky screen exposing everything, Tang San had actually let his killing intent leak out!
That had allowed Destruction to pinpoint the source of the punishment!
Destruction wanted nothing more than to devour Tang San's flesh and blood on the spot!
"Wait!"
"Destruction!"
"If you dare attack me, I'll interfere with the lower realm even if it kills me!"
"You know I've interfered with the lower realm before. I have plenty of contingencies there!"
Tang San backed away again and again. Although Destruction's cultivation had already fallen to First-Level God, he knew full well that he, whose cultivation had likewise fallen, would never be a match for Destruction!
And Destruction, now consumed by rage, really might kill him!
Precisely because of this, Tang San's world-shocking wisdom quickly found him the only path to survival!
"You fucking!!!"
Destruction's Destruction Divine Power suddenly backlashed, exploding against his own body!
Blood appeared at the corner of his mouth!
"Tang San!"
"I'll blow us both up!"
Destruction cried out in grief and fury, power surging all around him!
"Wait! Destruction! I have a way!"
"You can beat me up to vent your anger."
"Destruction, the urgent matter isn't killing me, but finding a way to undo the punishment."
"I have a way!"
"I admit I was wrong, and I'm willing to bear the future punishment alone, but clearly, the sky screen doesn't seem inclined to give me that chance."
Tang San's chest heaved as he spoke slowly, still shaken.
In that instant just now, he really had felt the threat of death!
"You..."
Destruction was so furious that his three corpse gods jumped, but with the grim future of his cultivation being wiped out looming ahead, he still forced himself to listen patiently to what Tang San had to say.
"Destruction, all our cultivation has been reduced. That means the sky screen's punishment of reducing our levels to zero in 12 years is most likely real too!"
"But it only spoke of this universe."
Tang San analyzed the situation methodically. In the Divine Realm, he was known by the honorific "God of Wisdom."
A simple analysis of the information was naturally no challenge for him!
"What do you mean?"
Destruction's anger gradually subsided. Soon after, Life, Lie Yan, and Ji Dong, all reduced to First-Level Gods, also arrived at the Sea God Hall in anger.
Yes, even the three who usually sided with Tang San were just as angry!
Although they did not know what had happened with this punishment, the sky screen had practically presented them with the person responsible for the future punishment!
"Little Zi, what was that punishment just now about?"
This time, the Goddess of Life did not even glance at Tang San. She looked worriedly toward the Destruction God King.
"Destruction, I've already sent someone to bring the Nine-Colored Goddess here."
"Was Tang San responsible for what happened before, too?"
Ji Dong pondered for a moment before asking, finding it somewhat hard to keep his composure.
"That's right!"
"Just now, Tang San was plotting something against the lower realm again."
"With the sky screen exposing everything, his killing intent leaked out."
Destruction spoke gloomily, his face dark.
The worst part was that the bastard Tang San had even threatened him with interference in the lower realm. Fuck!
"Lock Tang San up and keep him under strict guard."
Ji Dong offered his suggestion.
"I can't. Tang San threatened me with interference in the lower realm."
As Destruction explained, he could not resist slapping Tang San again!
Now that Tang San was at another's mercy, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and endure it!
"Then let him!"
"Who's afraid of him?!"
Lie Yan's expression turned cold. As the ruling empress of the Earth Core World, she was hardly lacking in decisiveness!
"Tang San says he has a way for us to get around the sky screen's punishment."
Destruction shook his head. If not for that, he would have killed Tang San, the culprit who had caused his cultivation of countless ages to vanish like bubbles, even if they had to die together!
"Speak!"
Lie Yan acted with swift resolve, turning her cold gaze on Tang San, whose face had swollen up.
"Leave this universe!"
Tang San stopped keeping them in suspense and hurriedly gave them the answer.
"Since the sky screen said the levels of the living beings in this universe would be wiped out, we can simply leave this universe, can't we?"
"If we mobilize the entire Divine Realm, we might just have a chance of breaking through the universal barrier and stepping out of this universe!"
"And if you attack me, I'll interfere with the lower realm even if it kills me. With your cultivation reduced again, you'll never have another chance!"
Tang San spoke at length and with confidence. If one ignored his swollen, fat-pig face, he really did have something of a wise man's bearing.
"Do we have a chance?"
Ji Dong looked hesitantly at their big brother Destruction.
"I don't know."
Destruction's face darkened. Fuck, so now they remembered he was their big brother? Where had they been before?!
If they had listened to him and restrained Tang San early on, wouldn't they have avoided all this bullshit?!
