Wang Nan did not know how much time had passed in the outside World; only the memories of his journey continuously flashed before his eyes.
The Love God asked what he truly wanted to do after gaining power. Wang Nan understood that she wasn't asking about his actual desires but rather what kind of path he would take to reach the God Realm.
Was it battle?
He possessed immense power; even at the Titled Douluo Realm, he could contend with Limit Douluo. Now, his cultivation had not yet reached its limit, but his combat power was already at the pinnacle of this Continent. Perhaps the path he was meant to take was one of battle.
Was it justice?
The Dragon Soul within the Coiling Dragon Staff was originally formed from the righteous Energy of heaven and earth. His character was extremely compatible with it, and his ability to awaken the Dragon Soul was the best proof. In his cultivation journey so far, not a few Evil Soul Masters had perished by his rod. Perhaps the path of administering justice was one that suited him.
Was it Spirit Beasts?
Influenced by his past life memories, his attitude towards Spirit Beasts was far less extreme than that of other humans. Along the way, he had received help from many Spirit Beasts, and the Silver Dragon King had also assisted him. Perhaps leading Spirit Beasts was also a good Dao.
Or...
Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Wang Nan seemed to see countless intertwined paths before him.
However, these were not suitable for him.
Although he had experienced numerous battles, big and small, his cultivation was never solely for these reasons. He had no desire to necessarily prove himself superior to anyone.
Having met the true Love God, Wang Nan understood that as a God, besides cultivation, one must also understand why one Trains. Although he had eliminated many Evil Soul Masters, he dared not say that all his actions were purely for justice; sometimes, they were also for his own selfish reasons.
As for Spirit Beasts, that was even more impossible. He was, after all, a pure human and could not truly understand Spirit Beasts. Let Spirit Beasts handle their own affairs...
Wang Nan's consciousness was immersed in a void, with countless thoughts flying past him.
After an unknown period, his surroundings gradually became clear, and no other sounds echoed in his ears. Discarding distracting thoughts, he calmly recalled his experiences from the beginning of his cultivation until now. His consciousness, which had been submerged in chaos, suddenly regained clarity.
Perhaps it was a stroke of Opportunity, or perhaps a flash of inspiration in that moment, but Wang Nan suddenly realized that he didn't need to deliberately search for a new Dao.
He only needed to continue walking on the path he was already on.
From beginning to end, his idea had always been very simple: merely to make this World slightly better within his capabilities.
Gods exist in this World.
Spirit Masters need spirit rings to Break through Realms, thus the conflict between them and Spirit Beasts has a long history. This is because the power of Spirit Masters originates from the Dragon God, and the power of Spirit Beasts and humans are ultimately different.
However, when Spirit Masters Break through to the God Realm, free from the limitations of spirit rings, not a single God is willing to look back at other ordinary Spirit Masters.
The Angel God Position is vacant, causing Evil Soul Masters to run rampant on the Douluo Continent, yet no God has thought about how to solve it.
Even though the God Position has been shattered to this day, not a single God capable of punishing evil has ever been born.
A single thought from a God is enough to have a tremendous impact on the Mortal World. However, the Love God's divine force overflowed, affecting the entire Douluo Continent, yet no God intervened. The God Realm and Gods rely on Mortal beliefs, but Gods merely hold God Positions without fulfilling their duties.
Even within the God Realm, there are regulations, but for some Gods, those regulations cannot even make them restrain their actions slightly.
If the God Realm is disorderly, then it leads to chaos in the Mortal World—
Wang Nan suddenly opened his eyes, golden light shooting forth from them. The entire World reflected in his eyes transformed into a different appearance.
Between heaven and earth, all things operate according to the rules of heaven and earth, yet the World before him was in utter chaos.
The Love God's divine force was already intertwined with the entire Continent, and the imprints left by the God Realm were everywhere, making the entire World even more unbearable.
This World is unequal. A single action or word from a powerful cultivator is enough to benefit those with insufficient cultivation for a lifetime.
There is a saying Wang Nan has never forgotten.
In such a World, if powerful cultivators do not protect the weak, who else can protect them?
Wang Nan dared not say he would give his all for this, but if one day he could enter the God Realm and reach the God Realm, he would certainly make all Gods fulfill their duties, ensuring that the heavens operate in order.
And before that, this chaotic order would be shattered by the long rod in his hand.
Wang Nan's mental force sea boiled, and a vast mental force surged forth, instantly spreading to every corner of the place.
Clouds drifted around him, and the anomaly in his mental force sea reappeared. Clouds churned, Immortal music resonated, and magnificent, golden-splendid buildings appeared faintly amidst the clouds, as if Immortals were whispering softly.
With a sudden clarification of his heart, Wang Nan's mental force had already shed its impurities and stepped into the God Realm.
After a long while, the changes around Wang Nan gradually subsided. Opening his eyes again, the World in his gaze was already different. He no longer needed to release Spirit Bone skills or use the Unbending Staff Technique; the rules between heaven and earth appeared clearly in his eyes.
His gaze fell, and the Love God was standing amidst the flowers, bending down to look at a dark red flower. Unlike the other flowers around it, this one clearly lacked some luster and was on the verge of withering.
"Oh dear, another fresh flower is about to wither,"
The Love God did not look up, her gaze still fixed on the flower. "Oh dear, you're already awake. It seems you really don't need to inherit my God Position."
"Thank you," Wang Nan cupped his hands. If he could truly reach the God Realm and accomplish what he desired, perhaps the Love God could be freed from here. The Love God Position was best left for her to hold.
Wang Nan replied, following the Love God's gaze towards the flower bed, and detected a familiar aura on that dark red flower.
"It really is a twisted flower, but even so, it's still very beautiful. It just can't escape the limitations of its lifespan in the end."
Wang Nan's mental force extended, and he finally detected something more fundamental within that flower.
It seemed Long Xiaoyao's lifespan was running out.
"Hmm, let me guess, you came to find me because you want to leave, right?" The Love God suddenly looked up at Wang Nan.
"Alright, of course, I won't keep you here. Looking at your current state, your cultivation is about to advance further, isn't it?"
"It seems a Spirit Master's cultivation requires condensing something called a Soul Core. Speaking of which, a Divine Core and a Soul Core seem quite similar."
As the Love God spoke, she suddenly raised a hand and lightly covered her mouth. "Oh dear, did I say too much?"
Although she said that, the Love God still smiled and winked at Wang Nan, seemingly implying something.
