However, the most intense reaction came not from the God Kings, but from the Seven Elemental Gods!
The Fire God, Water God, Light God, God of Darkness, Wind God, Earth God, and God of Space...
These seven First-Rank Gods had expressions that were unsightly to the extreme at this moment.
Especially the hot-tempered Fire God; the flames all over his body were flickering violently, clearly showing he was exploding with rage.
"On what basis?! Rong Nianbing isn't much stronger than us, is he?"
The Water God also looked indignant: "Exactly. Usually, he does no proper work, spending every day researching recipes. He ignores the affairs of the God Realm and only knows how to take his wives on vacations."
The Light God lowered his voice and said to the other Elemental Gods: "Look at those rules. If we're not satisfied, we can issue a challenge..."
Just then, the seven-colored emotional storm above the heavenly screen suddenly dissipated.
In its place was a deep, vast azure that seemed capable of swallowing everything!
"Crash—"
The sound of surging waves echoed in the ears of every Divinity.
Those were no ordinary waves; it was a "Vast Ocean of Faith" gathered from the faith of billions of marine creatures!
Above this ocean, a towering figure held a trident and stepped on giant waves, like an emperor of the sea looking down on all!
[Divinity Combat Power Ranking, 9th Place!]
[Name: Poseidon]
[God Position: Sea God (Peak First-Rank God)]
[Affiliated Power: Sea God Temple]
[Core Combat Power: Ruler of the Sea, Thirteen Golden Halberds, Endless Power of Faith]
[Reason for Ranking:]
He is one of the strongest First-Rank Gods in the God Realm.
He has managed the Douluo plane for thousands of years, possessing a massive and pure foundation of faith.
Upon the sea, he is synonymous with invincibility.
Even when facing a God King, as long as he is in the ocean, he has the confidence to hold his own for several rounds without defeat!
Coupled with the "Pseudo-Transcendent Divine Tool · Sea God Trident" he just obtained on the Divine Tool Ranking.
Today's Poseidon has a strength that is infinitely close to the threshold of a God King, making him the well-deserved "Number One among First-Rank Gods"!
...God Realm, Sea God Temple.
Poseidon, who had been depressed because of his low ranking on the Divine Tool Ranking, finally felt vindicated as he looked at this "9th place."
"Hahaha! 9th place!"
Poseidon forcefully swung the trident in his hand, bringing about a tide of divine force.
Although it annoyed him slightly that the "cheater" Rong Nianbing was ranked 10th.
But seeing himself suppress the Seven Elemental Gods and even surpass all Second-Rank Gods, Poseidon's vanity was greatly satisfied.
Immediately after, the Heavenly Dao reward for 9th place descended with a bang!
[Rewards Announced:]
[1. God Position Promotion: Break the status limit! Promoted to Sea God King! (The authority over the sea is completely perfected)]
[2. Divine Tool Ultimate Evolution: Pseudo-Transcendent Divine Tool advances to Transcendent Divine Tool! (Weight doubles again! Additional effect: Submission of the Four Seas!)]
[3. Special Blessing: Absolute Water Domain! (In any place with water, all attributes are increased by 100%! And immune to all water-attribute attacks!)]
"Boom!!!"
A deep blue pillar of light reaching from heaven to earth directly blasted through the ceiling of the God Realm!
The Sea GodPoseidon, who was originally just at the "Peak of First-Rank God," saw his blue divine gear instantly shatter at this moment, then reorganize into an even more magnificent and majestic Sea Emperor God Armor!
The divine force in his body instantly compressed from a liquid state into solid crystals—the hallmark of a God King's power!
God King rank!
A true God King!
"Hahahaha! Hahahahaha!"
Feeling the power surging like the sea within him, Poseidon couldn't help but laugh wildly towards the sky.
"Asura! Destruction!"
"Do you see this?!"
"This seat is also a God King! From today on, the God Realm Committee must add another chair!"
The trident in his hand was now emitting Transcendent Divine Tool fluctuations that made one's heart tremble. With a casual swing, the surrounding space rippled like water.
The gods of the God Realm were completely dumbfounded as they watched this scene.
"An... another God King?"
"In the past tens of thousands of years, not a single God King appeared. Today, in less than fifteen minutes, two have appeared?!"
The Seven Elemental Gods looked at each other, their hearts overflowing with bitterness; they also wanted to become God Kings!
However, the heavenly screen did not give the gods time to process their shock. Before the Sea God's wild laughter could fade, an even more holy and sublime aura quietly descended.
The azure sea instantly receded, replaced by an endless emerald green.
But this emerald green was different from the Goddess of Life's usual gentleness; it carried a scent of origin and a pressure of creation!
[Divinity Combat Power Ranking, 8th Place!]
In the image.
Beneath an Eternal World Tree, a goddess dressed in emerald green palace attire stood quietly.
There wasn't a trace of killing intent on her, but just by standing there, the laws automatically surrendered to her, as if she were the source of life.
[Name: Goddess of Life]
[God Position: Goddess of Life]
[Affiliated Power: Temple of Life]
[Core Combat Power: ancient tree of life, Infinite Healing]
[Reason for Ranking:]
She is one of the five Great Supreme Gods of the God Realm and the most senior goddess.
With the enhancement from the Divine Tool Ranking, her natal divine tool has evolved into the Eternal World Tree, and her life level has long surpassed that of an ordinary God King.
Although she dislikes conflict, if anyone dares to underestimate her combat power, they will surely pay a heavy price.
She is the sturdiest backer of the God Realm and one of the most untouchable existences!
..."8th place..."
The God of Destruction watched his wife's ranking, a flash of joy in his eyes.
"Little Green is actually ranked ahead of the Sea God. This shows the heavenly screen recognizes her combat power as being above his."
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Goddess of Life is just a support-type God King; her combat power is definitely not inferior to those First-Rank Gods!
Just that terrifying God King-level divine sense alone is enough to crush a First-Rank God, let alone her other methods.
[Rewards Announced:]
[1. God Position Transformation: God King advances to Supreme God King! (Half-Step Creation Rank! Life Laws perfected)]
[2. Source Bestowal: Life God Realm! (Open an independent Great Thousand World within the body as a source of divine force! divine force will never run dry!)]
[3. Special Authority: Divine Punishment · Life Wither! (Forcibly extract 50% of the target's life source! Effective even against God King-level experts!)]
This time, the tremor in the God Realm was not local. All the plants in the entire God Realm grew wildly at this moment!
A pillar of light that was emerald green to the extreme, even shimmering with faint platinum light, enveloped the Goddess of Life.
Her aura began to undergo a qualitative leap!
If the previous God King was a great river, then at this moment, she was transforming into an endless ocean!
Supreme God King!
This was a rank definition that had never existed in the God Realm!
"Life Wither..."
The Goddess of Life looked at her hands, a flash of shock in her eyes. "It can directly extract half of a God King's life source? This... this is too domineering."
"Can life force actually be used in such a way?"
The Asura God, the God King of Evil, and the God King of Kindness—the expressions of these three were colorful to the extreme at this moment.
"Supreme God King..." the Asura God murmured to himself, the Asura Sword in his hand trembling once again.
"Even the Goddess of Life, who isn't skilled in combat, has evolved to this level. What about us?"
The God King of Evil smiled bitterly again and again: "10th place is a newly promoted God King, 9th place is a newly promoted God King, and 8th place is directly a Supreme God King."
"I suddenly feel that the benefits we'll get later should also be quite significant."
While the gods were still processing the Goddess of Life's terrifying authority.
The image on the heavenly screen underwent another dramatic change!
The emerald green life aura filling the sky receded like a tide.
In its place was a milky-white radiance that was gentle to the extreme, yet grand to the extreme!
This radiance was not piercing like the Light God's, nor was it as domineering as the Angel God's.
It moistened things silently, yet it could penetrate every inch of space in the God Realm and even the deepest parts of every Divinity's soul.
[Divinity Combat Power Ranking, 7th Place!]
In the image.
A woman dressed in a pure white palace gown stepped barefoot on the clouds in the void.
Her specific age was unclear; she seemed like a young girl of sixteen. Her appearance was not flamboyant, but it gave off a sense of warmth and peace like a "mother."
She just stood there smiling, and the laws of the God Realm, which had been somewhat restless, instantly became incredibly docile.
[Name: God of Kindness]
[God Position: God King of Kindness]
[Affiliated Power: Temple of Kindness]
[Core Combat Power: Heart of Kindness (Transcendent Divine Tool), Boundless Love, Word Spirit: Follow Kindness]
[Reason for Ranking:]
She is one of the oldest existences in the God Realm and the creator of the God Realm's order.
She represents the purest Law of "Goodness" in the universe.
Even the Asura God's slaughter must restrain its edge before her; even the God of Destruction's violence must bow in respect before her.
She doesn't need to lift a finger, because all things in this World cannot bear to harm her... "It's the God King of Kindness!"
Seeing this woman, the always arrogant God of Destruction's expression became slightly more respectful.
Even the murderous Asura God's red light in his eyes diminished a bit as he bowed slightly in greeting.
In the God Realm, although the five Great Judgment God Kings have equal status, these two originals (Kindness and Evil) are even more senior than them; they are living fossils who watched the God Realm being built step by step!
[Rewards Announced:]
[1. God Position Recovery: Promoted to Supreme God King!]
[2. Source Bestowal: Cosmic Sea of Good Intentions! (As long as there is love in the heart, her divine force is endless)]
[3. Special Authority: Word Spirit · Divine Oracle! (Can activate an Absolute Divine Oracle once per day! Ignores rank to forcibly command a target below God King rank to do one thing! Has extremely strong binding force on God King-level experts!)]
A milky-white pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping the original God of Kindness.
Her divine soul, which had become somewhat weary due to the long passage of time, was revitalized at this moment!
An aura even more vast and unfathomable than the Goddess of Life's erupted!
Supreme God King!
"Word Spirit · Divine Oracle..."
The original God of Kindness felt that power capable of modifying rules and smiled gently.
She looked at the group of living beings in the lower realm who were still fighting and spoke softly: "Divine Oracle: Cease Conflict."
Just a simple sentence.
In the entire God Realm, and even the tens of thousands of battles taking place on the Douluo Continent, everything was forcibly stopped at this instant!
Swung swords and spears stopped in mid-air, and released Spirit Abilities directly dissipated!
However, before the gods could react to this power, the tone of the heavenly screen instantly underwent an extreme reversal!
The extreme white instantly turned into extreme black!
It wasn't the nauseating black of an Evil Spirit Master, nor the violent black of the God of Destruction.
Rather, it was a black that was unrestrained, evil and charming, and treated the rules of heaven and earth as nothing!
[Divinity Combat Power Ranking, 6th Place!]
In the image.
A man dressed in a black robe with his collar slightly open leaned against a black throne.
He held a cup of wine as red as blood, a trace of a cynical, evil smile hanging on his lips.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, as if they hid all the temptations and sins of the World.
But he didn't give off a repulsive feeling; instead, he had a fatal attraction.
[Name: God of Evil]
[God Position: God King of Evil]
[Affiliated Power: Temple of Evil]
[Core Combat Power: scales of judgment (Transcendent Divine Tool), Original Sin Stripping, Calamity Descent]
[Reason for Ranking:]
He is the other side of Kindness, the most unpredictable Supreme God of the God Realm.
He has a perverse personality and does things entirely according to his whims, yet he adheres to an absolute bottom line.
He controls all negative emotions and original sins in the universe.
He doesn't need to destroy like the God of Destruction, nor does he need to kill like the Asura God.
He only needs to stir up a sliver of evil thought in your heart to make you go astray and fall into eternal damnation! He is the ancestor of playing with people's hearts and the most dangerous "gambler" in the God Realm!
Before him, even a God King would expose their ugliest side!
..."Old man! I knew you'd be ranked ahead of me!"
The original God of Kindness looked at the man on the heavenly screen and gave him an annoyed look, but her eyes were filled with indulgence.
[Rewards Announced:]
[1. God Position Recovery: Promoted to Supreme God King!]
[2. Source Bestowal: Source of All Evil! (Absorb negative energy from the entire universe to strengthen oneself! The angrier and more fearful the enemy, the stronger his power!)]
[3. Special Authority: Husband and Wife Combined Strike · Creation Judgment! (When joining forces with the original God of Kindness, can launch a "Strike of Creation"!)]
"Rumble!!!"
A black pillar of light fell, complementing the white light on the God of Kindness just now.
One black, one white.
One good, one evil.
Two completely opposite forces intertwined above the God Realm, actually evolving into a massive Taiji diagram that covered the entire firmament of the God Realm!
In the center of that Taiji diagram, the original God of Evil drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, his wild laughter echoing through the God Realm!
"Hahaha! Refreshing!"
He took a step forward and instantly arrived beside the God of Kindness, grabbing her waist.
"Wife, did you see that?"
"The two of us joining forces results in Creation-level combat power!"
Terrifying pressure!
The fusion of the two Supreme God Kings' auras made the entire hall of the God Realm Committee tremble.
The First-Rank Gods were already kneeling on the ground, not even having the courage to raise their heads.
Even the Sea GodPoseidon, this newly promoted God King, was shivering at this moment.
"Too terrifying... is this the strength of the original God Kings?"
"Fortunately, I didn't get cocky just now, otherwise, if I were targeted by these two, I'm afraid my status as a newly promoted God King would be ruined on the spot!"
