"Who!?"
Surging blue light suddenly erupted from Tang San's body. The Sea God's Trident in his hand transformed into a deep blue stream of light, shooting towards the direction of the cleaving divine sword like a meteor.
Striking with no intent of returning!
Clang—
In mid-air, the collision of the two attacks was like a golden firework constantly blooming. Accompanied by the distortion of immortal spirit energy, the aftershock of the attack spread over a full square mile.
The trident in Tang San's hand trembled slightly. The moment he retracted it, his divine sense had already pierced through the spreading aftershock and discovered the newcomer, causing his expression to couldn't help but change.
Because a massive Heavenly Eye phantom appeared in the sky above the God Realm, and standing beneath this phantom was exactly Chen Junting, who should have been in the Douluo Plane and had condensed the god position of the God of Order.
Why was he here!?
The entry of a God King made the already disadvantageous situation for him even worse. Previously, it was precisely because he worried that this newly promoted God King would ascend to the God Realm ahead of time for his trial and then join forces with the God of Destruction and the others that he released the Golden Dragon King, causing the God Realm to fall into chaos first.
He never expected that he would actually still come!
As for why Chen Junting appeared here... just as the God of Destruction sensed the Golden Dragon King breaking its seal, he noticed something was wrong and contacted Chen Junting just in case.
One hour ago in the God Realm
One month ago in the mortal realm...
"How does it feel? How's the effect?"
Chen Junting stood in front of the Temple of Order, then asked Wu Feng, who had just finished the trials and successfully broken through to Level 99.
In order to allow Xiao Xiao and the others to rapidly reach Level 99 so they could inherit god positions sooner, and to test the effects of the path to godhood he had created, Chen Junting had them go through it. From the looks of Wu Feng now, the effect was not bad.
"Very good."
Wu Feng excitedly revealed her nine soul rings. The blood-red light filled the entire hall, appearing to captivate one's mind.
As she clenched her right hand, a dragon roar suddenly rang out. Violent fire energy scorched the air, causing the surrounding temperature to continuously rise. "I feel like I can inherit a god position now."
"Not going to wait for them?"
Chen Junting looked at the teleportation array on the ground.
"I... guess that works too."
However, right at this moment, Chen Junting's expression suddenly changed.
Because he suddenly received a transmission from the God of Destruction—
"The Golden Dragon King has broken its seal, come to the God Realm quickly!"
This situation immediately made Chen Junting realize something was wrong. According to the original timeline, the Golden Dragon King only had the chance to break its seal due to the influence of spatial turbulence. But the God Realm was perfectly peaceful right now, where would the Golden Dragon King get the chance!?
Unless there was a traitor!
At this moment, a person immediately popped into Chen Junting's mind.
That was Tang San.
If he decided to risk everything, it wasn't impossible.
Of course, he didn't think that Tang San could truly win with four God Kings in the God Realm, even with the influence of the Golden Dragon King. What he was truly concerned about was the settling of grievances.
Currently, only he had become a god. In contrast, for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, although the former had already broken through to Level 99, he hadn't inherited a god position yet in order to wait for Wang Dong'er. And the latter was still quite a distance away from Level 99.
Thinking of this, Chen Junting looked at Wu Feng.
"Little Feng."
"What is it?"
Having just seen the change in Chen Junting's expression, Wu Feng hadn't spoken up to disturb him. Now that Chen Junting opened his mouth, she immediately asked.
"Go back to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and find Old Gu and the others. Then contact the God of Space and the God of Fire to see if they can let you inherit your god positions right now. I'm going to find Yuhao and Dong'er first. You can tell me after I get back."
Saying this, array patterns instantly connected on the ground. In just a breath, a teleportation array leading to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect took shape.
Hearing this, Wu Feng also realized the importance of the matter. So she immediately restrained her lingering excitement. "I'll go right now."
She stepped into the teleportation array and disappeared.
Chen Junting then sensed the entire path to godhood, searching for the small plane where Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er were currently located. Immediately after, his figure turned into a stream of light and similarly disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, in the Life and Death Small Plane.
This small plane, remodeled from the Divine Miracle Island of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, was filled with rich energy of destruction and life. For a soul master of any cultivation level, it was an excellent place to train. Precisely because of this, Huo Yuhao was bringing Wang Dong'er here to cultivate, striving to break through to Level 99 as soon as possible.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a stream of light descended, breaking the peace here.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er successively woke up. When they saw the newcomer, "Brother Junting, why are you here?"
"I came to see if Dong'er has made a breakthrough."
Chen Junting glanced over and retracted his gaze.
She had only reached Level 96.
"Brother Junting, did something happen?"
Realizing something was wrong, Huo Yuhao hurriedly asked.
"Something happened in the God Realm."
Thus, Chen Junting briefly explained what the Golden Dragon King was, as well as the matter of it breaking its seal. Speaking of this, he also sighed, "If I'm guessing correctly, the Golden Dragon King breaking its seal should have Tang San's handiwork in it."
"The war has to be moved up."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er were both shocked.
Especially Wang Dong'er, whose eyes were filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Huo Yuhao, who was the first to snap back to reality, had a solemn expression as he asked, "Then Brother Junting, what should we do next?"
"Do what?"
Chen Junting waved his hand, directly wrapping the two of them up with divine power. "Let's talk about everything back at the sect. I need to give some instructions."
As soon as his voice fell, the three instantly turned into streams of light and fled.
Along the way, he also brought along the others who were breaking through trials in other small planes. In just a moment, they returned to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Right after arriving, Ning Tian led Wu Feng and the others to surround them.
Ning Tian's first words were, "Just now, Sister Feng and the others contacted the gods whose god positions they are inheriting, but there was no response for a long time. Brother Junting, what exactly happened?"
"Is that so..."
Chen Junting nodded understandingly, then briefly explained again, and continued, "...So the situation happened suddenly, and I must go ahead this time. You guys should inherit your god positions in the mortal realm first, and after becoming gods, come up to the God Realm to find me."
"I'll go with you."
Ning Tian's tone was firm. "Senior Goddess of Love's residual soul is in the Qiankun Love Querying Valley. As soon as I go, I can immediately undergo the ninth trial."
However, Chen Junting rejected this proposal.
"You can actually go one step after me. One day in the God Realm is one year in the mortal realm; there is still time for matters in the God Realm. But once there are no gods in the mortal realm, some things will be very difficult to implement."
"You mean..."
"That's right."
A glint of light flashed in Chen Junting's eyes.
"The matter of awakening martial souls for all humans must be implemented. For this matter, after you become a god, you must continue to oversee the mortal realm for a period of time."
Hearing this, Ning Tian ultimately nodded.
"I understand, leave it to me."
"Good."
Chen Junting reached out and stroked her beautiful hair, causing the group of people around them to sensibly turn their heads away, except for Wu Feng.
"I'll leave mortal affairs to you."
"As for Teacher..."
Recalling Electrolux, who was still in seclusion, "Don't go disturb him. My divine sense is on him, I'll keep an eye out."
"Okay."
Afterwards, Chen Junting's gaze swept over the others. "After I ascend to the God Realm, I will immediately contact the gods who bestow god positions to give the final trials to those who can inherit them, especially you, Yuhao." Saying this, he looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er.
"Given the current situation, Dong'er temporarily cannot inherit the Sea God's god position. Coupled with the great chaos in the God Realm, the God Realm Committee cannot hold a trial, and it can only be judged by the God Realm's rules themselves. So there is only one way for her to enter the God Realm, and that is to be brought up by a First-Tier God. Because it's not convenient for me to do it, after you inherit a god position, Yuhao, you will bring Dong'er up with you."
"Understood?"
Huo Yuhao immediately nodded, "Understood."
"Good, then I'll take a step first."
Chen Junting finally looked at Ning Tian. "I'll wait for you in the God Realm, and then we'll all ascend to the God Realm together and share immortality."
As he spoke, nine soul rings and one divine ring instantly lit up. Accompanied by their merging into one, a nine-ring halo shone brightly behind his head. The moment the God of Order's divine mark on his glabella lit up, Chen Junting's divine sense immediately connected to the God Realm.
The next second, the light of guidance descended.
Accompanied by the flashing of silver light, Chen Junting disappeared.
Also at the moment he was enveloped by the silver light, Chen Junting suddenly felt that heaven and earth seemed to have become different.
Rays of light drifted in the air, and streaks of starlight fell from the sky, constantly landing on Chen Junting's body, and also emitting a bizarre sense of intent on his face. This was the baptism of the God Realm's rules, and likewise, it was the final judgment made by the God Realm's rules.
Accompanied by a grotesque and bizarre world, in Chen Junting's spiritual world, his life's experiences were flashing by rapidly. In just an instant, he had read through his own life once.
At this moment, the four great spirits appeared by his side, experiencing all of this together with him. He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Chen Junting opened his eyes, he was standing on a small hill.
Around this small hill was entirely mist. Amidst the drifting, one could perceive that it was full of various rich elements. Until suddenly, the surrounding mist turned gold. At this moment, the soft golden mist brought a peculiar feeling.
Also at this time, figures slowly emerged from the mist, flying towards Chen Junting's direction. They were all handsome, wearing simple and elegant beige clothes.
In just a few breaths, they arrived in front of Chen Junting. There were twelve people in total, and they respectfully bowed to Chen Junting at the same time.
However, apart from respect, their faces currently also showed visible worry and nervousness.
"Greetings, Lord God of Order."
The leading man said.
Seeing this, Chen Junting distinguished their identities.
"You are the divine officials of the God Realm, right."
"Yes, my Lord. Since you are newly arrived to the God Realm, we should originally lead you to see the God Kings. But now..." A look of difficulty suddenly appeared on the lead divine official's face, along with a trace of panic.
Before he could continue, Chen Junting patted his shoulder and took the initiative to interrupt. "The God of Destruction has already told me about the situation in the God Realm, and I am here precisely because of this matter. So you don't need to be troubled about leading the way. After all, under these circumstances, it's already very commendable that you can fulfill your duties."
"So leave it to me."
"Just tell me which direction the Forbidden Land of the Gods is in."
The lead divine official, who was practically in a daze, pointed in a direction, and Chen Junting's divine sense immediately locked onto the location.
Without leaving a single word behind, he rushed towards the Forbidden Land of the Gods!
And so, this led to the scene before their eyes.
At this moment, Tang San was guarding against the four God Kings and the Seven Elemental Gods, while turning to face Chen Junting head-on. But before he could open his mouth, Chen Junting's cold voice exploded in the ears of the gods first.
"Surrender the God Realm's core and accept judgment!"
"Huh!?"
In an instant, Tang San's expression completely darkened.
"Junior, you want to make a move on us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, blood light lit up on Tang San's body first, and a blue halo quickly shifted sideways, landing on Xiao Wu.
Instantly, Xiao Wu's long hair turned blue at an astonishing speed, and so did her eyes. Even her dress rapidly turned into the azure blue of the sea as she temporarily took charge of the Sea God's god position.
In contrast, Tang San, who had transformed into the Asura God, displayed nothing but coldness and solemn killing intent on his face. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and every time the light in his eyes flashed, the air would distort slightly.
As for the remaining five Shrek Devils plus the Strength God, they lined up in a row behind Tang San and Xiao Wu, standing on high alert.
Chen Junting's gaze directly skipped over Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the Strength God, turning to look at the other five, focusing more of his gaze on the two sect ancestors, Oscar and Ning Rongrong.
"Are you also obstinately persisting in your errors, wanting to continue down this path with this traitor Tang San!? If you turn back from the wrong path, the crime of attacking a First-Tier God will be lightly punished according to the divine rules."
"Arrogant!"
An angry shout came from Dai Mubai's mouth.
He walked to Tang San's side, and a heaven-shaking battle intent of a War God, mixed within his sharp gaze, erupted from him. The strong aura caused the air flow to suddenly accelerate, with faint howling sounds echoing, and his body began to expand along with it.
It seemed he didn't have the slightest intention of repenting.
"As your seniors, how can we allow you to blindly judge us here! And spout nonsense! Moreover, as a student of Shrek Academy and a disciple of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you ought to stand on our side! How can you act as a dog for the God of Destruction and the others..."
"Presumptuous!"
A terrifying divine power and divine sense instantly erupted!
It was so fast that even Tang San couldn't react in time. In less than half a second, Dai Mubai was pressed onto the ground like a dead dog. Even though his body was a divine body, the bones all over his body constantly cracked, and his whole person was about to turn into mush.
Fortunately, Tang San reacted in time to save him.
This caused Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and the others to glare angrily at Chen Junting, and Ning Rongrong and Oscar could no longer continue to remain silent. Just as they were about to jump out and scold him like Dai Mubai,
"All of you, shut up!"
