Wu Ling sat quietly inside the Angel God's temple. Four masses of origin energy floated around him, though each one had dimmed compared with a few days earlier.
He was currently in the Divine Realm, but he had arrived through a teleportation formation. Perhaps because his body contained divinity that did not belong to this world, the Divine Realm had not given him a divine position after he reached level one hundred.
Wu Ling did not feel disappointed. Even if the Divine Realm had offered him a position, he would have refused it, or casually passed it to someone he knew. The Soul Land Divine Realm was far from his final destination.
"Ling."
A clear voice came from outside the temple. Aurelia Cross, dressed in white divine robes, entered and sat beside him.
"Ling, the seven Original Sin gods have all been dealt with by me and that subordinate of yours named Arjuna."
As she spoke, a faint pride appeared on Aurelia's beautiful face.
Wu Ling smiled and pinched her cheek.
"Yes, yes. Our Aurelia is the best. How are you adjusting to your new powers?"
"Light and flame were already powers the Angel God controlled, so I can use those smoothly. Life and Goodness are still unfamiliar rules, so I am less steady with them."
A week had passed since Wu Ling killed the four god kings. During that week, his first task had been dividing their power between Aurelia Cross and Bibi Dong.
Aurelia received the origins of Life and Goodness. Bibi Dong received the origins of Destruction and Evil. With that source power, both of them evolved from First Class gods into god kings.
After bringing the two origins under control, Aurelia became the God King of Light, while Bibi Dong became the God King of Darkness. Both were stronger than the five previous god kings, though the price was that the four god king level origins were weakened into First Class god origins.
Wu Ling stroked Aurelia's hair and said casually, "Do not worry. There is plenty of time. Once the remaining resisters are killed, you can adjust slowly."
Feeling his touch, Aurelia leaned against him.
"I understand. But I heard Bibi Dong has run into some trouble. The seven Elemental Gods received help from someone called the God of Emotions, and some gods who refuse to submit to us are gathering over there as well."
Wu Ling was not surprised. He remembered the God of Emotions, Rong Nianbing, at least a little. The protagonist of Magic Chef of Ice and Fire was still someone with great fortune. People like that were special no matter where they went.
Normally, the gap between a First Class god and a god king was enormous. Even connected First Class gods like the seven Original Sin gods or seven Elemental Gods had to combine their strength to barely oppose one god king. But with the so-called seven emotions and six desires, Rong Nianbing might be able to tangle with a god king alone.
Aurelia had Arjuna Alter, an existence above the god kings, helping her. As a Heroic Spirit, he could not judge the Divine Realm with one sword the way he had judged a Lostbelt, but with Wu Ling's massive energy supply, killing a few First Class gods was still simple.
Bibi Dong only had Caenis and Ashwatthama helping her. Those two would not die easily, but without much rational coordination, their support had limits. Add in the gods who refused to submit, and even Bibi Dong, now a god king, would struggle to handle every direction at once.
"Do not worry. I already understand the situation there, so I sent Arjuna, Ibuki Douji, and the others to help. With that one helping to decapitate the enemy side, victory is as easy as moving a hand. I only hope Arjuna does not start fighting Karna.
"After the Divine Realm is unified, you and Bibi Dong can manage it. I will go out for a while."
Aurelia, still leaning against him, froze slightly. Her expression dimmed.
"Can it not be a little later?"
Aurelia did not ask why or where. Clever as she was, she had long ago sensed that Wu Ling seemed out of place in this entire world. After becoming a god king, she became even more certain that he was not a native of this world.
She had imagined tying Wu Ling to her side. But as her own strength grew, she understood the gap between them more clearly. Wu Ling might care for her because of their relationship, and he might make concessions for her, but he would never abandon his goal because of her. So what she could do now was spend as much time with him as she could.
Wu Ling held Aurelia in his arms and whispered by her ear.
"Sorry. The other side is waiting for me to return."
During that week, after dividing the god king powers between Aurelia and Bibi Dong, Wu Ling spent the rest of his time researching his tenth Spirit Ring.
That tenth Spirit Ring was special. It could not summon a Heroic Spirit like the first nine Spirit Rings. It also had no normal explanation. It had only given him two Spirit Skills.
But based on the Star Eyes he had seen and those two Spirit Skills, Wu Ling reached one conclusion. His tenth Spirit Ring came from Tiamat.
When he confirmed that answer, Wu Ling was calm for one moment. After all, he had used the Sea God's soul to summon it. Using the ocean to awaken Tiamat, who was tied to saltwater, seemed reasonable.
Reasonable, his foot.
Even Lostbelt Kings required multiple god king level sources to summon. With the Sea God's tiny origin, how could he summon Tiamat, a creator mother goddess and Evil of Humanity? To summon Tiamat properly, he should need at least five god kings together, or the Soul Land Divine Realm's creator god.
After investigating, Wu Ling discovered that the Sea God's origin had not been used to summon her. It had been used to awaken her. Tiamat's power had already existed inside his Throne of Heroes. Once he reached level one hundred, it did not matter whether he used the Sea God, the Fire God, or even a ten-year Soul Beast. Any of them could awaken that power.
From that moment, Wu Ling understood that he still had work to do. He still had something he should do. His destination was the Type Moon world.
"Then before you leave... I want a child."
Wu Ling looked at Aurelia's reddened ears and smiled. Then he lifted her gently and walked toward the depths of the temple.
One day later in the Divine Realm, Blair Lockehart ascended after spending eight years in Soul Land. Wu Ling personally welcomed her. Their farewells and reunions were kept private.
Two days after that, thanks to the efforts of First Hassan, Enkidu, and the others, every resisting god had been killed. They also killed the Golden Dragon King along the way.
Two more days passed. Wu Ling left the Angel God's temple, said goodbye to Bibi Dong, shattered space, and leapt inside.
His target this time was not Type Moon. It was the Soul Land 2 world. There was one final matter he still needed to settle there.
