"A mere first-level god, with no god position and no super divine weapon—so arrogant." Tang San sneered at the Fallen Angel, then turned to Poseidon and bowed respectfully. "Senior, please help me deal with this Fallen Angel."
"No problem!" Poseidon didn't hesitate at all. Having reclaimed the Sea God position after so many years, he was eager to stretch his limbs. With the Sea God Trident in hand, he charged straight at the Fallen Angel.
Tang San then turned to Long Yeyue. "Yuanen Yehui is a student of Shrek Academy. I wonder if Your Majesty of Light and Darkness is confident in defeating her?"
"No problem!" Long Yeyue was full of fighting spirit. Although she didn't know why Tang San didn't let Tang Hao or A Yin quickly suppress Yuanen Yehui, and instead had her take action, she trusted that Tang San had his reasons—and it was a perfect chance for her to show off in front of him.
Why not take it?
Without hesitation, Long Yeyue also charged toward Yuanen Yehui.
Just then, two beams of light—one black and one white—rushed down from the universe, piercing through the atmosphere and landing before Tang San.
"Tang San, what's going on? Why the rush to summon us back?" Two figures, one black and one white, stepped out of the light beams, exuding a divine king's aura.
"Honored seniors," Tang San bowed deeply again, full of respect. "Ever since you entrusted the God Realm to me, I've worked diligently. But an unexpected event occurred. The divine beasts rebelled, and the Dragon God has been reborn and is attacking the God Realm."
These two were none other than the original God of Kindness and God of Evil, former rulers of the Douluo God Realm—also the ones who passed their god positions to Lie Yan and Ji Dong.
They had been reincarnating in the lower world, enjoying life. It was Tang San, using the Seeds of Kindness and Evil, who summoned them back.
"If that's the case, shouldn't we be helping in the God Realm? Why bring us here?" asked the God of Kindness.
"Please hear me out," Tang San quickly explained. "There are still plenty of us juniors defending the God Realm for now. I brought you back because the soul beasts created a new God Realm of their own. I want to take advantage of the Dragon God causing chaos in our God Realm and seize the soul beasts' God Realm."
Tang San didn't dare bring them to the Divine God Circle. After what happened before, Gu Yue would definitely not give him another chance to devour the old God of Kindness and God of Evil.
There was only one way left—strike their base.
By attacking the Soul Beast God Realm, he would force Gu Yue to return to defend it. Then his divine sense could sneak back into the Divine Circle along with the two gods—and eventually devour them, and also target the former Asura God.
Tang San believed that doing so would cause his strength to skyrocket.
And then, he would battle Gu Yue once more.
She had humiliated him before—he swore to return it tenfold.
"Great idea," said the God of Evil, eyes lighting up. He had no idea Tang San was already targeting them. "If we can merge the Soul Beast God Realm into ours, the God Realm's power will greatly increase."
Seeing them fall for it, Tang San pressed on, "Seniors, I'm not sure how much power remains in the Soul Beast God Realm. When do you think the Asura God will arrive? His presence would definitely increase our odds."
"We didn't pass on our super divine weapons, so we were able to travel faster using them. Plus, we were closer to the Douluo Plane, so we got here first. The Asura God, without the Asura Sword, will take longer," the God of Kindness explained.
"The Dragon God must have taken most of her strength with her," said the God of Evil. "With our power, we can easily defeat whatever forces are guarding the Soul Beast God Realm."
"Then please, follow me," Tang San said, ignoring Poseidon and Long Yeyue. He led Tang Hao, A Yin, Tang Wulin, and the two gods into a teleportation array leading to Sky City.
The two gods didn't even glance at the fight between Long Yeyue and Yuanen Yehui—it was child's play in their eyes.
As for Poseidon vs. the Fallen Angel—Poseidon had both godhood and a super divine weapon. Victory was only a matter of time; no help was needed.
"Sis Yue won't be in danger, right?" Tang Wulin asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. She's an old Extreme Douluo. Trust her," Tang Hao reassured him with a smile.
Sky City was now deserted. When Tang San and the others arrived, they found it empty. In the city center, a massive teleportation array had been destroyed.
"So, the Fallen Angel was just stalling us so they could evacuate the humans and soul beasts from Sky City. Hmph, do they think that'll stop me?" Tang San snorted coldly. His gaze suddenly snapped to one direction, a cold gleam in his eye—but his mouth formed a gentle smile.
"Big brothers, I know you're there. Now that the God Realm has returned, don't you want to know how Xiao Wu is doing? She's been thinking of you both constantly."
"Xiao Wu…" A deep voice echoed out. The semi-transparent figures of Da Ming and Er Ming slowly appeared. They looked at Tang San with complicated expressions. "How is Xiao Wu?"
"She's doing very well," Tang San said respectfully. "Brothers, the Dragon God is attacking the God Realm. If she succeeds, Xiao Wu will be judged by the soul beasts. For her sake, please tell us the coordinates of the Soul Beast God Realm. I swear—we will only punish the true culprits and will not harm any innocent soul beasts."
"Are you really going to use Xiao Wu to make us betray our race?" Da Ming asked, eyes full of conflict. "Why don't you surrender to the soul beasts for Xiao Wu's sake? If a God King like you joined the soul beasts, Xiao Wu wouldn't be seen as a traitor—she'd be a hero, rewarded instead of judged. If you love her so much, why won't you do that?"
Tang San didn't get angry. With his usual gentle smile, he tried again. "Brothers, you wouldn't be betraying soul beasts. The Dragon God is stubborn and arrogant. She already brought ruin once. If she's not stopped, she'll destroy them again. Helping me stabilize the situation would make you heroes, not traitors."
"That's right," added A Yin, her body glowing with life force. "Soul beasts can't become gods—it's the natural law. To become a god, they must first become human. Xia Yi and Gu Yue defy the heavens and will doom the God Realm. You two are Beast Gods—for Xiao Wu, and for the soul beasts, you must help Tang San."
Da Ming and Er Ming shook their heads. Their gazes swept over Tang San and A Yin. "All your fancy words are useless. We only left this wisp of divine sense to learn how Xiao Wu is. As for the coordinates of the Genesis Space, we don't know. When we left this wisp, we intentionally removed any memory of it."
They had expected Tang San to play the emotional card and feared they'd be swayed—so they'd preemptively erased any knowledge of the coordinates.
"You don't know the coordinates? Then what was the point of all this talk?!" Tang San's expression turned furious, his respect gone. He felt mocked.
"Don't think I'm helpless. You were resurrected by me. The power in you is mine. I can find the coordinates through you!" His face darkened. He drew a bloody mark in the air.
Suddenly, Da Ming and Er Ming were engulfed in blood-red flames, screaming in agony as their divine souls ignited.
"Y-You planned this from the start?!" Da Ming roared.
"Soul beasts can't become gods. You reached level three—of course there's a price," Tang San sneered. He blasted divine energy into the void. "Found it! Seniors, help me break through the defenses!"
"Understood!" The God of Kindness and God of Evil unleashed their super divine weapons—Heart of Kindness and Judgment Scale—and struck the void alongside Tang San's power.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The void split apart, revealing a corner of the Soul Beast God Realm: Genesis Origin.
Inside, Da Ming and Er Ming roared in agony, their true forms igniting in blood-red flames. Tang San had locked onto their location through the burning energy.
"I brought you back—and you betray me? This is your end," Tang San said coldly. His hands formed seals, intensifying the flames.
"Good and evil, combine—open!" shouted the two gods, slamming their divine power into the void and tearing open a hole into the Genesis Origin.
As they entered, they gasped. "Such powerful divine laws—stronger than the God Realm in its prime! Could it be near the Divine Star already?"
"If we could cultivate here, our strength would rise again…"
Suddenly, a voice roared: "Those who trespass upon Genesis Origin shall die!"
Half the realm turned black. Even as God Kings, they couldn't see a hand before their face.
"There's a divine beast who broke through to God King!" the two gods exclaimed.
A blue-purple light pierced the darkness and charged at them.
"Dark Dragon King, you broke through!" the God of Evil recognized the aura.
"No... it's not the Dark Dragon King!" The God of Kindness unleashed light from the Heart of Kindness, dispelling the darkness.
A tall man appeared, around 40, with sharp features and a golden strand of hair on his forehead—
Di Tian, God King!
"You forced me to break through early. You're dead," Di Tian said coldly.
He'd had the potential to break through years ago, but Gu Yue had warned him that unless his divine position matched the Demon Emperor's, he'd be no match. So he kept training, trying to reach her level—for the honor of the dragon race.
But sensing a God King invading Genesis Origin, he couldn't wait.
Now, with Gu Yue and the Demon Emperor gone, even if it cost him everything—he would fight.
"A freshly ascended divine beast dares speak so arrogantly? Who gave you the courage?" The God of Evil growled. The Judgment Scale grew massive and struck out: "Evil! Aura! Righteous!"
Black mist burst forth, slowing even heavenly divine attacks.
But the Judgment Scale was still shaken and knocked back tens of thousands of miles.
"He just broke through and can already suppress the God of Evil. He must be eliminated," the God of Kindness declared. Without concern for fairness, she activated the Heart of Kindness and charged at Di Tian.
