Overseas, Fire God Mountain.
This active volcano, created by the Divine Power the god of Fire God Travers, has never truly been dormant since its birth, with dozens of eruptions recording its violent nature.
However, compared to what is happening now, everything in the past seems insignificant.
Thick, inky columns of volcanic ash, like chimneys leading to hell, violently shot into the sky, turning the azure sky gloomy.
The scorching red lava no longer flowed slowly, but transformed into countless hideous "devilish patterns" that spread and tore across the mountain surface at an alarming speed.
Every now and then, "fireballs" burning with incandescent flames, accompanied by terrifying shrieks, erupt from the crater, streak across the sky, and plunge into the distant sea, rising up continuous plumes of steam.
But this terrifying divine power was merely the prelude.
For a full hour, this sea area roared and boiled like the core of a purgatory.
Finally, the power that had been accumulated to its limit could no longer be restrained...
"Boom!!!!!"
A deafening roar, as if continental plates were shattering, drowned out all the howls of the waves and flames!
The majestic Fire God Mountain, which had stood for countless years, suddenly exploded from its deepest part!
The massive mountain shattered into countless burning boulders in an unimaginable implosion, scattering them in all directions like an apocalyptic meteor shower, crashing into the boiling sea and creating Destruction waves hundreds of meters high, plunging the sea and sky into chaos.
This mountain exists because of the lingering spirit and obsession of the Fire God, Travers, serving as the vessel for his legacy.
Now, a new Fire God has been born, Travers' final mission is complete, and the Divine Power bond that held his remnant soul to the mountain has naturally vanished completely into the world.
Having completed its historical mission, the land of inheritance returned to nothingness in the most magnificent way.
Above the swirling Huo Yu and billowing sea mist, a figure floated silently.
It was Kong Ling!
Her once flowing black hair had turned a fiery red, just like Travers's, and as it flew, it scattered specks of divine light.
A red robe with gold patterns draped her exquisite figure, upon which flowed eternal divine flame patterns.
The mischievous and playful look that used to grace her exquisitely beautiful face had vanished, replaced by a serene and divine expression.
The old mountain crumbled, but was reforged in Lie Yan.
Amidst the ashes and the glory, a new Fire God has emerged.
Mingdu, West Mountain, Qiankun Asking Love Valley.
The golden and silver lake in the valley was originally formed by the Divine Power of Evelyn, the God of Love.
At this moment, the lake water that was originally flowing freely in the valley is becoming thinner and thinner, and the hazy figure formed by the lake water in mid-air is gradually fading and becoming transparent.
The lingering phantom of the God of Love, Evelyn, gazed down at the figure surrounded by the pure essence of love, a smile of immense relief blooming on her blurred face.
Her final gaze was as gentle as the first morning dew, and she whispered a blessing that, along with her fading thoughts, dissipated into the valley breeze.
May the world, under your laws of love, see more couples united and fewer... hopeless separations.
As her voice faded away, her figure finally faded completely, transforming into two last wisps of pure gold and silver light, which fell lightly as if returning to their nest, completely merging into the seated figure below.
It lacks the vast expanse of ice that existed when the Ice Seal Ice God passed on his legacy, and the dramatic upheaval of mountains collapsing and seas boiling when the Fire God changed hands.
The alternation of God of Love's love is quiet and profound.
The only noticeable sign was that the thick white fog that had shrouded the West Mountain for so long, isolating it from the outside world, vanished silently and instantly, as if it had never existed.
The sky can be seen again in the valley.
The figure, who had been sitting cross-legged and suspended in mid-air, slowly opened its eyes.
He was a man with a resolute face, his brows bearing the hardened look of someone who had weathered many storms.
However, at this moment, his pupils turned into a very unique pink, clear and deep, as if containing boundless tenderness and surging emotions.
This color creates a strange contrast with his hard facial features, which may seem abrupt at first glance.
But when the look in his eyes shifted, the natural clarity, compassion, and warmth instantly dispelled all the strangeness.
Ren Jun lowered his eyes, a hint of nostalgia flashing within them, but then he smiled broadly, never expecting that he too would one day become a god!
Yes, it was Ren Jun who inherited the position of the God of Love!
This teacher, whom Kong Xuan had always remembered as a "single dog," ultimately passed God of Love's test.
Ren Jun is indeed all alone now, but his situation is completely different from that of Kong Deming is obsessed with Soul Tool, or Du Busi, who is devoted to martial arts.
It wasn't that he had never experienced love; on the contrary, during his passionate youth, he had a love that was unforgettable and deeply ingrained in his bones.
His lover was named Song Lin, who was also a brilliant and promising young woman in the Shrek Inner Court back then.
The two met when they were young and grew up together, vowing to reach the Titled Douluo together, spend the rest of their lives hand in hand, and see all the wonders of the world.
However, fate revealed its fangs at its most glorious moment.
An unexpected event occurred during what seemed like an ordinary Soul Hunting Operation.
They encountered a ferocious Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and the instructor who was supposed to protect them failed to appear in time, leading to a tragedy with heavy casualties among the students!
That's right, it's the accident that happened when the Supreme Elder led the team!
That catastrophe left Ren Jun not only with a permanently mutilated right leg, but also with a piece of his soul torn away; he lost his beloved forever.
Song Lin died before his eyes, and he was powerless to change her fate. This pain and regret were buried deep in his heart, and he never spoke of it to anyone for years.
Perhaps it was this profound love, refined by time yet still pure as ever, this heavy emotion that endured life and death, that touched the lingering divine thoughts of Evelyn, the God of Love.
Therefore, she chose Ren Jun and entrusted him with the power to protect and guide the love affairs of the world!
Ren Jun felt the vast Divine Power surging within his body, as well as the profound and mysterious fundamental laws.
He knew that with just a thought, he could summon the Divine Realm Jieyin the heavens and step into that legendary realm.
After a moment's hesitation, he didn't linger any longer. His figure transformed into a magnificent pink streak of light, piercing the sky and hurtling straight towards the direction of Mingdu.
Almost at the same moment...
Star Dou Great Forest, Core Circle, Lake of Life.
The lake, which had been calm as a jade mirror all year round, suddenly began to surge violently without warning.
Waves surged skyward, and an enormous dragon-shaped body, covered with magnificent silver-white scales, carrying boundless Life force and supreme pressure, broke through the water and soared into the sky from the depths of the lake!
"Sing!!!"
A clear and majestic dragon roar resounded through the sky, accompanied by a soul-stirring aura that suddenly erupted and instantly enveloped the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
From the Core Circle to the outer Mixed Zone, all the Soul Beast, regardless of their cultivation level, instinctively prostrated themselves on the ground, showing reverence and submission.
That was a call from the bloodline, the absolute obedience of beasts to their true ruler.
A flash of silver light, and the awe-inspiring, enormous dragon body vanished, replaced by Gu Yuena's tall and proud figure, silently floating above the lake.
Her silver hair cascaded down like a galaxy, her purple eyes were as deep as an abyss, and her gaze pierced through the dense forest, looking in the direction of Mingdu.
A slight smile curved her lips, and her usually cool purple eyes now clearly flickered with a long-suppressed excitement.
"Finally... it's about to begin."
