Di Tian stared intently at the broken longsword on the light screen; his previously calm expression had completely changed.
Asura Sword.
He would never admit his mistake.
During the Dragon God War, the Asura God was one of the most powerful forces in the Divine Realm, and that Super Divine Artifact had been stained with the blood of countless dragon warriors. Even after countless years, Di Tian still remembered the aura of the Asura Sword.
But now, this once feared Super Divine Artifact, which inspired fear in the entire Soul Beast Clan, is reduced to a broken sword drifting in the universe.
Di Tian suddenly stood up, strode to the light screen, and scanned the ruins on the screen.
At first, his attention was entirely focused on the Asura Sword, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the dilapidated buildings around him were also extremely familiar. Although most of them were just ruins, the outlines of several temples could still be matched with the Divine Realm in his Remembrance.
That is the Divine Realm.
It can't be wrong.
Xiong Jun also came over and stared at the screen for a long time, his expression becoming more and more interesting.
"Is this really the Divine Realm?"
He pointed to the enormous palace that had been completely severed in the middle, his tone filled with disbelief. "This thing was cut in two with a single blow? The entire Divine Realm was ravaged like this, what level of power could accomplish something like this?"
The destruction depicted in the images far exceeded their understanding of power.
That wasn't about destroying a city, nor was it about Destruction a mountain range.
The entire Divine Realm seemed to be torn apart by some irresistible force, with large areas of spatial structure completely collapsing, and architectural ruins floating in the dark universe. Even Super Divine Artifact of the Asura Sword level was broken in two.
Zi JI's gaze was equally solemn.
Di Tian no longer cared about finding out who had done it.
Only one thought remained in his mind.
The Divine Realm has been destroyed.
The Divine Realm, which had oppressed the Soul Beast Clan for countless years, was actually destroyed.
Di Tian suddenly turned to look at Lin Yuan, his golden eyes filled with unprecedented excitement. "If the Divine Realm has become like this, then have their restrictions on Soul Beast also become ineffective? Without the Divine Realm's obstruction, can we finally become gods?"
Xiong Jun and Zi JI also looked over immediately.
For Soul Beast, this is more important than why the Divine Realm was destroyed.
Hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation, countless heavenly tribulations, and generation after generation of powerful Soul Beast have fallen on the path of breakthrough. Even though Di Tian has reached the pinnacle of the entire Soul Beast Clan, he still cannot see a path that can truly transcend the limits of the world.
Now that the Divine Realm has suddenly collapsed, what they see is that the door that has been closed for countless years may finally be opened.
Lin Yuan, however, did not show the same joy.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Di Tian frowned.
Lin Yuan looked at him and said directly, " The Destruction the Divine Realm does not mean that Soul Beast can become gods normally. The prohibition against Soul Beast becoming gods after the Dragon God War was left by the Dragon God himself."
The excitement on Di Tian's face instantly froze.
"What?"
He even doubted that he had heard correctly.
" Dragon God personally forbids Soul Beast from becoming gods?"
Xiong Jun and Zi JI also looked astonished.
Di Tian stared at Lin Yuan, his voice deepening, "Where did you find out about this?"
Lin Yuan did not answer immediately.
He had no way of explaining the origin of something that involved the original development trajectory of the Douluo World to Di Tian. He couldn't very well tell the other party that he had once read a novel that detailed their fate.
Just as he was considering how to smooth things over, Nguyen Mai suddenly spoke up.
"Is what you call Godhood a necessary stage in the evolution of life?"
Di Tian's attention was drawn to her.
Ruan Mei stood beside the golden-blue dragon egg, her expression still calm, as if the Destruction the Divine Realm had little impact on her.
Di Tian remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"No."
He glanced at the ruins of the Divine Realm on the screen. "But for life on the Douluo Continent, Godhood is currently the only known path to breaking through the world's upper limit. Whether it's Soul Beast or a human, to truly cross that level, one needs the approval of the Divine Realm."
After listening, Nguyen Mai's gaze returned to the dragon egg.
"If it's not a necessary stage in the evolution of life, then why must we take this path?"
Di Tian was slightly taken aback.
Ruan Mei continued, "You've been discussing why Soul Beast can't become gods, treating Godhood as the only answer. But in my view, Godhood is more like an existing advancement system in this world. It can help life break through its original limits, but that doesn't mean life can't continue to evolve after leaving it."
She gently touched the surface of the dragon egg.
The bluish-gold patterns on the eggshell then lit up.
"This life form has just deviated from its original growth path. The bloodline of the Douluo Clan determines its evolutionary direction, while its Permanence life structure grants it the ability to reshape itself. It has no Godhood, nor has it gained the recognition of your Divine Realm, yet it still accomplished a life reconstruction that was originally impossible."
Di Tian's gaze fell on the dragon egg.
He witnessed everything that just happened.
A Martial Soul so weak it could hardly be called a dragon, after completely separating from its host, relied on its blood and another power from the universe to be reborn into a life whose future even it could not fully predict.
This path has nothing to do with Soul Ring, nor with Godhood.
Ruan Mei looked up at Di Tian.
There are many ways to break through the limits of life on planets in the universe.
"Some embark on Path, while others possess inherent growth potential that transcends planetary scales. The life structures left behind by Permanence can also continuously transform and reshape themselves. The cultivation system of the Douluo Continent is merely one of countless life paths in the universe."
Her tone was flat, yet it left Di Tian speechless for Jiujiu.
"Since the Godhood are merely rules established by others, why do you insist on demanding a position from the Divine Realm?"
Why must one become the god they define?
The laboratory fell silent.
Di Tian stood still, his eyes constantly shifting with emotion.
The hatred between the Soul Beast Clan and the Divine Realm has lasted for so long that they have long been accustomed to taking "regaining the qualification to become a god" as their ultimate goal. Even though the Silver Dragon King has been plotting to fight against the Divine Realm, he is essentially still fighting for the path that has been blocked by the Divine Realm.
But now, someone from outside the Douluo Continent tells him that that path is not the only option.
The Divine Realm won't give it to me?
Then don't.
The universe is far more vast than Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm combined.
The Little Herta had also finished its initial analysis of the Divine Realm images.
"The evolution of life is something Nguyen Mai studies, but I'm more interested in something else."
She raised her hand to retrieve Di Tian's previous test data, and then set aside the special energy fluctuations recorded in the sky above Douluo Continent.
"Since you say that the Divine Realm has always restricted Soul Beast, there must be some kind of long-term and stable connection between the two sides. Whether it's rules or energy channels, it's impossible for an entire race to be unable to break through out of thin air."
Lin Yuan immediately understood what she meant.
"What limitation are you planning to investigate?"
"Otherwise what?"
Little Herta crossed his arms. "Now that you've laid the problem in front of me, I have to see what's been holding you back for so many years. If the Divine Realm has truly lost its ability to function properly, that would actually be more convenient. A system without maintenance is usually best found by looking for vulnerabilities."
Di Tian's eyes lit up slightly.
Nguyen Mai offered another path in life.
Herta then prepared to directly dismantle the lock.
Success in either direction would be enough to change the future for the Soul Beast Clan race.
Di Tian finally suppressed the excitement he had felt from the Destruction the Divine Realm and sat down again.
But just as he looked at the light screen again, a question that had been completely ignored by his previous shock suddenly flooded his mind.
Di Tian's body stiffened abruptly.
After the Dragon God fell, he split into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.
The Silver Dragon King, severely injured, fled to the Douluo Continent.
However, the Golden Dragon King has always been suppressed by the Divine Realm.
now...
The Divine Realm has become ruins.
The Asura Sword is broken.
Di Tian suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the remnants of the Divine Realm floating in the universe.
For the first time, his voice was noticeably more hurried.
"Etc."
Lin Yuan looked at him.
Di Tian slowly stood up.
"If the Divine Realm has become like this..."
He stared at the enormous palace that had been completely cleaved open, and an even more serious problem finally surfaced before everyone.
"What about the Golden Dragon King who was suppressed in the Divine Realm?"
