Ten Divine Years passed.
In the Divine Realm, ten years was a blink—
yet also long enough for destinies to quietly ferment.
I stood at the edge of my divine domain, gazing into the endless expanse where countless god domains floated like islands in an eternal sea. The scenery had not changed much since Shan Liang and Xie E ascended. Their domains still glowed steadily, their divine thrones firmly rooted, their auras calm and restrained.
The Divine Realm itself was… quiet.
Too quiet.
There were no ripples from the Dragon Kings.
No summons from the Divine Council.
No probing divine senses brushing against my domain.
That alone was enough to keep my guard fully raised.
I knew better than to mistake silence for indifference.
Shan Liang and Xie E had completed their consolidation years ago.
Their mortal bodies had been fully reforged into divine vessels, every trace of fragility erased and replaced with immortal stability. Their souls had aligned with their chosen authorities—Kindness and Evil—without conflict, without backlash.
That alone proved they had chosen correctly.
Kindness flowed through Shan Liang like a warm current, not overwhelming, not blinding, but endlessly sustaining. Her divine energy carried healing, reassurance, and a quiet strength that soothed even turbulent divine laws.
Xie E was her counterbalance.
His Evil authority was sharp, disciplined, and terrifyingly precise. It did not corrupt—it judged. It did not spread—it contained. His presence alone discouraged chaos, like a blade kept sheathed but always within reach.
They had learned quickly.
Divine energy manipulation.
Authority resonance.
Domain restructuring.
I had given them my notes—decades of distilled experience from my own ascension and consolidation. They studied them seriously, not as disciples, but as equals who understood the weight of godhood.
After their consolidation ended, I took them beyond their domains.
We walked through neutral divine regions, observed ancient god structures, and visited places where divine laws were densest. I showed them how the Divine Realm listened—how it responded differently to intention, authority, and faith.
They adapted faster than I had.
That, too, did not surprise me.
In these ten years, the Dragon Kings did not move.
No warnings.
No tests.
No veiled threats.
Dragon God remained distant, fused with the core of the Divine Realm, his will omnipresent yet dormant.
But I never relaxed.
Every divine year, I reinforced subtle protections around Shan Liang and Xie E's domains—nothing overt, nothing that could be construed as provocation. Just enough to ensure that if something did happen, I would know before it reached them.
So far, nothing had.
Which meant one of two things.
Either the Dragon Kings truly did not care about the emergence of Human Gods yet…
Or they were waiting for something bigger.
It was during the tenth year that I felt it.
A fluctuation—familiar, heavy, and sharp.
I closed my eyes and extended my divine consciousness toward my home world.
Douluo.
The moment my awareness touched it, I understood.
A new hero had emerged.
Not quietly.
Not gently.
This one burned.
His will was fierce, his path violent, his presence cutting through fate like a blade through silk. The laws of Douluo itself were responding—bending, tightening, preparing.
"Asura…" I murmured.
A name carried on karmic resonance rather than sound.
He was still mortal—but not for long.
I saw fragments of his journey. Blood. Struggle. Defiance. A relentless climb fueled by suffering rather than guidance. Unlike Shan Liang and Xie E, he walked a solitary path, one paved with conflict.
Yet his foundation was terrifyingly solid.
When he ascended… Douluo would change forever.
I observed deeper.
Douluo's spiritual environment had already transformed significantly. Spirit energy was denser, more stable, more responsive. The ceiling that once suppressed humanity had thinned to near transparency.
Once Asura crossed the boundary into godhood, Douluo would complete its transformation.
At that point, the world would no longer merely sustain cultivation.
It would encourage it.
Humans from Douluo would be able to reach the absolute limits of mortality without external intervention. Soul Douluo would no longer be an unreachable peak—it would become a threshold.
A necessary step before ascension.
I exhaled slowly.
Everything was aligning.
I summoned Shan Liang and Xie E to my domain.
They arrived swiftly, already accustomed to divine travel.
"There's someone coming," I said without preamble.
"From my home world."
Their eyes sharpened instantly.
"A new god?" Shan Liang asked.
"Soon," I replied. "Not yet. But inevitable."
I explained Asura's existence, his path, and what his ascension would mean—not just for Douluo, but for Humanity as a whole.
Xie E's lips curved into a rare smile. "Another one of us."
Shan Liang's expression softened. "He must have walked a very painful road."
"He did," I said. "And still does."
They were not intimidated.
They were… excited.
The thought of another Human God joining them, of no longer being anomalies in a divine realm dominated by dragons and ancient races, gave them strength.
"When he comes," Shan Liang said gently, "we'll welcome him."
I nodded.
"That's why I told you."
With this knowledge settled, I returned to solitude.
My cultivation had reached its limit.
For ten divine years, I refined my authority, compressed my divine core, and harmonized my faith channels. The God of Humanity position was now completely consolidated—perfectly aligned with the Divine Realm.
I stood at the peak of First-Class Godhood.
One step remained.
A step that could not be forced.
A step that required recognition—not just from the Divine Realm, but from Humanity itself.
Once Asura ascended…
Once three Human Gods stood in the Divine Realm…
The balance would shift.
And with that shift, the path to God King would finally open.
I folded my consciousness inward and resumed meditation.
The heavens were watching.
So was I.
And somewhere far below, a blade-wielding mortal walked steadily toward godhood—
unaware that his ascent would echo across the Divine Realm.
