Chapter 348: Arrival in the Divine Realm!

Chapter 348: Arrival in the Divine Realm!

The Demon Empress clenched her teeth, her blue-purple eyes filled with deep hatred. Being defeated by Du Qianjue was a sign of her own weakness, and she only regretted that she couldn't exact her revenge. Yet, even after death, she hadn't truly perished. Not only had she been spared, but the very person who killed her had also given her the chance to take revenge on Tang San.

She could now avenge herself openly, not lurking like a rat in the shadows, watching Tang San's glory while crawling in the darkness with impotent fury. Even if she had been forcibly turned into his slave, the Demon Empress didn't resent Du Qianjue. All her hatred was reserved for Tang San. As long as she could have her revenge, even selling her soul didn't matter.

"Don't worry, you'll get your chance!" Du Qianjue smiled as he patted the Demon Empress on the head, as if stroking a cat. Both she and Eve had exceptionally soft hair, giving the sensation of running one's fingers through the gentle waves of the sea.

Seeing the Demon Empress vying for attention, Eve pouted, a little displeased. She wagged her large tail and pushed her head into Du Qianjue's other hand, demanding equal affection.

"Alright, enough playing around. We're about to reach the Divine Realm!" Du Qianjue said helplessly, giving both of them a final pat before gently pushing their heads aside.

The group arrived at the end of the passage, where a colorful barrier shimmered before them. This barrier was the Divine Realm's protective shield, designed to hide and safeguard it. Without divine-level power, no one could pass through.

Du Qianjue stepped forward first, and a grayish-white chaotic energy immediately shot up like a pillar of light, sending a mighty wave of divine king energy sweeping across the Divine Realm. He was making it loud and clear to Tang San:

"I'M HERE!"

Two more auras of first-class gods followed: one from Xue Linglong and the other from Bi Ji. Behind them, six slightly weaker auras trailed.

"This kid sure knows how to make an entrance!" The God of Destruction chuckled, turning to the Goddess of Life beside him with a wry smile.

The Goddess of Life pursed her lips, her face softening into a smile. "Let's go meet this extraordinary young man in person. It's time to see the genius who, in just a few decades, has surpassed us old timers."

"Hahaha, you're not old at all! None of us are!" The God of Destruction laughed heartily.

"Let's go!"

A purple and a green beam of light shot into the sky, releasing two more waves of divine king energy. Accompanying them were nearly ten more auras of first-class gods. These were the Seven Sins Gods, the God of Destruction's followers, and some of the Goddess of Life's companions.

"Hahaha… boy, you finally made it to the Divine Realm! I've been waiting for you!" The God of Destruction laughed, appearing before Du Qianjue. Sensing the overwhelming power radiating from him, even the God of Destruction felt a bit pressured. But instead of feeling threatened, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad at all! Looks like you've done a great job merging my and Little Green's divine powers. You've done the God of Destruction proud!" he said approvingly.

"Destruction senior, Life senior!" Du Qianjue cupped his fists and bowed deeply.

Though their meeting had been brief, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life had willingly passed down their divine thrones to him. Despite the many reasons behind this, a noble heart judges actions, not motives. Du Qianjue genuinely appreciated their help, admiring the God of Destruction's unwavering dedication. In his eyes, the God of Destruction's character far outshined Tang San's.

"Destruction senior, Life senior!" Xue Linglong and Bi Ji also bowed respectfully.

This was not only respect for the strong but also a gesture of gratitude to their benefactors. Du Qianjue had explained to them that the Ice God and the Healing God thrones they now held came from these two divine kings.

Xue Linglong was overjoyed. Becoming the Ice God had been her lifelong dream, a goal akin to a fan becoming the very star they idolized. As for Bi Ji, being acknowledged as the Healing God was the ultimate recognition of her abilities as the Emerald Swan, and a reward for her countless years of selflessly healing injured soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest.

"I won't bother introducing these two; you already know them! My wife, Xue Linglong, and my good friend, Bi Ji!" Du Qianjue said.

"As for the others..."

At this point, Du Qianjue, the God of Destruction, and the Goddess of Life all turned to look at the group of women behind them. Their gazes finally settled on one woman in particular: a cold and distant beauty radiating an aura that warned others to stay away.

"Xiaoqi..." the Goddess of Life softly called out.

"Green Aunt, Purple Uncle," Tang Wutong nodded slightly in greeting. There was none of the warmth she once had for them.

Her indifference wasn't directed at them personally but was a result of her new nature. She had completely abandoned her emotions, becoming the ruthless and impartial Goddess of Judgment. The only feeling she retained was her deep-seated grudge against Tang San.

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, both seasoned divine kings, immediately sensed Tang Wutong's state. They knew that this was a choice she had made herself, an emotional scar that had shaped her destiny.

"Don't worry, Xiaoqi. Your Purple Uncle will help you get justice. Not everyone in the Divine Realm is like Tang San," the God of Destruction sighed softly.

"Yes, Xiaoqi. There are still those who love you in this realm. We love you," the Goddess of Life whispered gently as she hugged Tang Wutong, softly stroking her hair.

Tang Wutong's tense body stiffened slightly, and the icy expression on her face melted just a little.

"Green Aunt, Purple Uncle..."

She bit her lip, her eyes turning slightly red.

Seeing her tragic state firsthand, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life were once again consumed with anger. Even the usually calm Goddess of Life felt the urge to stab Tang San with the branches of the Ancient Tree of Life.

"Enough. Let's not talk about it anymore. We'll deal with everything later!" The God of Destruction took a deep breath, suppressing his fury before pointing behind him.

"Now, boy, let me introduce you to my and Little Green's followers. From now on, they are your subordinates. Treat them well, just like we did."

"Seven Sins Gods, God of Ruin, come forward!"

"God of Purity, God of Holy Wings, step forward!"

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life spoke simultaneously.

"We obey the command of the master!" The Seven Sins Gods, God of Ruin, Zhou Weiqing, God of Purity, and God of Holy Wings all called out.

"From this day forth, Du Qianjue is the new God of Destruction and God of Life, your new master!"

"We obey!" they responded in unison.
