In the sky of the God Realm, the great purple sun, symbolizing the rules of destruction, streaked across the sea of clouds like a meteor.
The clouds were almost entirely composed of celestial energy. If a life in the lower realm were to breathe in it, it would extend its lifespan by at least ten years, because this was the purest form of primordial energy.
It was the highest level of energy that could only be born in the God Realm. The divine consciousness and even the soul of a god could be cleansed with celestial energy, making them even stronger.
This was one of the main reasons why the gods of the God Realm were far more powerful than the wild gods of the outside world.
In the God Realm, regulated by the central hub, celestial energy was almost inexhaustible! It constantly enhanced the divine bodies of these gods.
In a valley shrouded in mist, a magnificent silver waterfall, hundreds of meters high, crashed into the pool below, creating countless waves.
Cool water vapor permeated the area around the pool, and countless medicinal herbs, considered rare treasures by the people of the lower realm, grew there.
If one were to use divine power to peer into the pond, one would see an elegant courtyard nestled among the dense vegetation surrounding it.
From within the courtyard came the sounds of an elderly person sleeping soundly and children laughing. A blond youth stood in the center of the courtyard.
He gently pressed his palm down, signaling a red-haired woman to quiet the child.
The blond youth gazed at the great purple sun, a serious expression flashing in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
the red-haired woman asked softly, after calming the child, looking at the blond man before her.
The man before her was none other than Rong Nianbing, the current God of Emotions.
Rong Nianbing sighed and said to the Phoenix Maiden beside him,
"The God of Destruction has gone mad for some reason.
He rushed towards the Forest of Life without even restraining his destructive intent. I bet quite a few unlucky second- and third-level gods will have their eyes burned by that destructive intent."
The woman called Phoenix Maiden said softly,
"It's just a bit of the residual power of the destructive intent."
"A god's body isn't that fragile. Even a third-level god will recover in a few days."
"The God King of Destruction won't unleash his full destructive intent in the God Realm."
"All the gods in the divine realm know that the God of Destruction is the one most devoted to the divine realm."
"He's one of the original gods of the divine realm."
Rong Nianbing shook her head and said,
"The God of Destruction is indeed devoted to the divine realm, always thinking about how to benefit it."
"He hopes the divine realm can expand, accommodating more spiritual power so that the gods can improve their cultivation, and even allowing more gods from the lower realms to ascend."
Feng Nu looked at the God of Emotions with a puzzled expression, her beautiful eyes saying,
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"Why are you shaking your head?"
Rong Nianbing said helplessly,
"It is a good thing. Actually, I also think the divine realm should expand!"
"If it doesn't expand, those second- and third-level gods will complain." "
After the divine realm expands, there will be more fresh blood and more capable people!"
"I can also put down my burden and pass on the position of God of Emotions to a suitable person."
"Later, I'll take you to travel through the starry sea and search for countless delicacies!"
"But that Sea God doesn't allow the divine realm to expand; he's at odds with Destruction on this issue!"
"The Sea God said that a great calamity will befall the God Realm in the future, but Destruction doesn't believe him and insists on expanding the God Realm."
Phoenix Maiden carefully examined Rong Nianbing, then chuckled.
"Judging from your expression, you don't believe there will be any great calamity either?"
The God of Emotions nodded, confirming Phoenix Maiden's guess.
"The Sea God didn't demonstrate any prophetic ability; it was just some rhetoric, hard to believe."
"Some of the gods in the God Realm asked what the specific disaster would be." "
But the Sea God remained silent, saying that some heavenly secrets cannot be revealed?"
"As gods, who would care about heavenly secrets?!"
"Therefore, almost all the gods in the God Realm don't believe the so-called prophecy of the Sea God and basically support the expansion of the God Realm."
"If you ask me, the God of Destruction should expand the God Realm now if he wants to! Once the God Realm absorbs more spiritual power and accommodates more divine positions, it can quickly strengthen the God Realm's protective shield."
"Heh, but if they continue to drag it out like this, with the future so uncertain and the universe so dangerous, some kind of disaster is bound to occur."
"Then, the Sea God can say that this is the disaster he foretold." "
Truly worthy of being called the 'God of Wisdom.'"
"Indeed, he has astonishing wisdom."
Rong Nianbing laughed, it was hard to tell whether it was sarcasm or joy.
"Never mind them!"
"As long as the two of them don't fight and disrupt the God Realm, it's fine."
"Expansion or not, it doesn't matter!"
"That guy Tang San will be asking me to help him guard Douluo Continent in a while."
"I'll take this opportunity to quickly find an heir from the lower realm! Quickly inherit my divine position."
"Then I'll take you all directly to the mortal realm."
Rong Nianbing grinned mischievously, hugging Feng Nu's waist as they walked into the wooden house.
The purple sun that the God of Destruction had transformed into had already flown across most of the God Realm and was about to arrive at the Forest of Life where the Goddess of Life resided.
The Forest of Life, located on the edge of the God Realm, is a vast expanse of verdant forest. At its core lies the Ancient Tree of Life, the very essence of the Goddess of Life.
It is also the life source of the entire God Realm, equivalent to the life core of Douluo Star.
Every newly ascended god can come here to drink a sip of the Water of Life.
The life force contained in this Water of Life far surpasses any rare treasure in the mortal realm.
Perhaps a single bowl of this Water of Life is comparable to the entire Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest!
The God of Destruction, upon discovering the great treasure Bai E, was extremely excited, and even his normally restrained destructive intent overflowed.
Therefore, he completely failed to notice the golden sphere of light approaching him beneath the blazing purple sun.
However, as it neared the edge of the Forest of Life, the golden sphere abandoned its pursuit.
It then revealed itself to be an extremely beautiful woman with a pair of azure wings, the tips of which were adorned with golden patterns.
Huo Yuhao, having thoroughly studied the "Complete Guide to Soul Beast Soul Skills," knew that these wings belonged to the most beautiful butterfly in the world—the Goddess of Light Butterfly.
The one who had pursued the God of Destruction was now the Butterfly Goddess of the God Realm.
Her purpose in coming here was to tell the God of Destruction that Xiao Qi had been split into three parts by Tang San, which was no different from death.
She knew this because Tang San had personally come to the Butterfly Goddess's residence some time ago, asking her to bestow a martial soul upon a girl named Wang Dong'er in the mortal realm.
The Sea God was a first-level god, while the Butterfly Goddess was only a second-level god; the difference in their strength was too great, and she was no match for him, so she could only obey the Sea God's orders.
Only after bestowing the martial soul did she discover that the girl's soul was incomplete, thus requiring a divinely bestowed martial soul to temporarily complete it.
Tang San and Xiao Wu's daughter was very famous in the God Realm; because gods had difficulty conceiving, many people loved this child.
The Butterfly Goddess had also seen Xiao Qi;
even if she was weak, she was still a god! She was a powerful figure in the outside world, and her knowledge was naturally vast. She recognized at a glance that Wang Dong'er's soul was a part of Xiao Qi's former self, and it seemed to be only one-third of it!
She could only survive by relying on the Goddess of Light Butterfly bestowed upon her.
After discovering this, the Butterfly Goddess broke out in a cold sweat. The Sea God, realizing she had discovered the truth, coldly told her,
"Don't make a sound. Once Xiao Qi returns to the God Realm, give her your divine position. I'll allow you to leave the God Realm, but never return."
"If you do, you'd better consider whether your own and your family's weight is greater than the weight of the Sea God's trident!"
The Butterfly Goddess was stunned; the Sea God's expression didn't seem like he was letting her go.
So she planned to secretly tell the God of Destruction, since the latter also liked Xiao Qi.
However, she discovered she couldn't even get close to the blazing purple sun and almost succumbed to its destructive power.
The Butterfly Goddess glanced at the Forest of Life, then at the direction of the Sea God's Mansion, gritted her teeth, and muttered to herself,
"Since destruction is out of the question, I'll fight you, Tang San, to the death!"
"The Goddess of Light Butterfly was a gift from me; do you think I can tamper with it?"
"Little Seven—no, I should call you Wang Dong'er—for the sake of you once calling me Butterfly Goddess Sister, I'll help repair your soul!"
"Tang San, you want to kill me? I'll die but bring you back to life!"
