Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

"Ji Dong, stop being so stubborn!"

Purple divine light erupted from the Scepter of Destruction, but beneath this dazzling spectacle lay a deadly danger. Pure and frenzied destructive power relentlessly bombarded Ji Dong's Yin-Yang Twin Flames. The Tai Chi Demon Realm, which had been invincible in Ji Dong's past experiences, had long been shattered by this domineering power.

This was the first time Ji Dong clearly recognized the gap between himself and a veteran God-King. Without a super artifact, and without even perfectly completing the divine inheritance, he was far inferior to a veteran God-King like the God of Destruction. Undeniably, he was a genius in the past, but those who reached this level were among the most exceptional geniuses in billions. The fierce and ruthless attacks almost overwhelmed him, leaving him flustered and disorganized. Before he could even catch his breath from the previous onslaught, an even more powerful attack was already upon him. If the God of Destruction hadn't deliberately held back, he would have been in an even more sorry state.

In the void, countless destructive intentions transformed into purple divine lightning, pouring down like an apocalyptic downpour, each capable of easily shattering a planet. The God of Destruction stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the lightning, the terrifying pressure emanating from his body sending chills down the spines of the gods watching from afar, his eyes calmly fixed on Ji Dong, who was struggling to withstand the storm of destruction.

The God of Destruction might show mercy out of consideration for past relationships, but Gu Yuena would not.

As a being born from the Crimson Lotus of Earthly Fire, Lieyan's core power remains fire, even before she fully inherited the divine position of the God of Goodness. In this aspect, she has already surpassed the Fire God, a first-level deity whose name is synonymous with fire. However, she now faces the Silver Dragon King, who wields elemental authority and is further empowered by the core of the Dragon God. In this state, only the original nine elemental dragon kings can rival Gu Yuena in terms of elemental control. Although Lieyan possesses god-king level strength, she is significantly weaker than the original Fire Dragon King in the art of fire.

"Roar--"

A resounding dragon roar echoed.

A silvery-white halo rippled across the silver dragon, an embodiment of beauty and power, as if it had donned armor. Water, fire, earth, wind; light, darkness; space; destruction, creation—the nine elements swirled around her, radiating nine-colored light. In that instant, she seemed to become the center of the universe. With each breath, the stars seemed to shimmer with brilliant light, as if responding to her. It was as if the power of the entire universe was bestowed upon her. Amplified by the Dragon God's Heart, her aura, already approaching that of Gu Yuena in her prime, began to rise again.

At that moment, the gods who had survived since the era of the Divine Dragon Realm were momentarily dazed. Gazing at the nine-colored dragon, they seemed to see the Dragon God who once reigned over the universe descend upon this universe once more.

The origin of the universe—the power wielded by the Silver Dragon King is actually the origin of the universe!

No wonder Lord Asura suddenly attacked the Silver Dragon King. If he had been allowed to grow stronger, he might very well have become another Dragon God.

However, if that's the case, plus that one...

All eyes fell on the figure that already displayed an invincible aura, beating the three first-generation god-kings.

The realm of gods may indeed have a chance to reach the glory of the former dragon realm.

However, gods do not share the joys and sorrows of gods.

Lieyan is under a lot of pressure right now.

The pressure comes from all sides.

Her flames had already felt subtly suppressed when facing the Silver Dragon King, and now their power was greatly diminished. If it weren't for the benevolent energy within her flames, she even suspected that they would be directly controlled by the Silver Dragon King.

Fight!

A resounding dragon roar echoed across the starry sea. Gu Yuena's massive dragon body suddenly accelerated. The Law of Wind freed her from the constraints of her size, allowing her to traverse the void like a silver lightning bolt. The Law of Space enabled her to instantly traverse tens of thousands of miles. Her dragon tail, formed from the nine elements, lashed out with the power to tear apart galaxies, fiercely striking the blazing Crimson Lotus Heavenly Fire.

As it turns out, it was almost the same whether we tried or not.

Gritting one's teeth and persevering under these circumstances is simply not enough to bridge the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

Her intention wasn't to kill him. After all, he was a God-King, and An Zhen had said that capturing him for work would be quite good. Furthermore, his strength was weaker than a normal God-King, and their marital relationship was a significant weakness. The difficulty and risk of controlling him outweighed the potential rewards. If she missed this opportunity, where else could she find such a good beast of burden?

However, the God-King's vitality isn't that fragile. An Zhen said that this couple possesses a combined attack technique capable of unleashing power that even a normal God-King would have to avoid. Hmm, let's reduce their health to a minimum first, ensuring they have no chance to retaliate. As long as they're left with a breath, that's enough. In this hostile situation, it's already an immense act of mercy.

On the other side, in the dark and cold cosmic sky, two dazzling crimson divine lights intertwined and outlined two crimson giant swords colliding. The power, originating from the same source, was similar yet different, like a demonic sword that had created countless killings. It was cold and frenzied, and every strand of crimson was an unyielding thickness. The suffocating sharpness seemed capable of easily cleaving open the vast galaxy, but beneath it, there was a sense of order and judgment.

The two Asura Blood Swords clashed.

Divine power and Asura bloodline flowed continuously from An Zhen and the old Asura into the Asura Blood Sword.

However, as this intense duel gradually reached a stalemate, the old Asura's expression grew increasingly grim. It wasn't that his mental state was damaged like Tang San's, but rather that his condition was declining at an extremely rapid pace. Asura Blood Sword, his signature move, was incredibly powerful but also consumed a great deal of energy. Moreover, he was already seriously injured, and a sense of powerlessness he hadn't felt in a long time surged back into his heart. His arms, which had once supported the entire God Realm, were now trembling slightly, as if they were already unable to bear the burden.

In contrast, An Zhen's expression was calm and relaxed, and she was even able to distract herself by observing the situation on other battlefields.

"Is that all?"

Before she finished speaking, An Zhen raised her hand, and an even greater power was poured into the Asura Blood Sword.

The previously deadlocked battle has taken on a new possibility, and the scales of victory are tipping in Anzhen's favor.

Suddenly, the familiar routine, the familiar formula, unfolded: one tanked the damage, one provided crowd control, and one dealt damage. A white-clad saintess, seemingly pitiful and compassionate, appeared before An Zhen, her gentle, ethereal spiritual energy attempting to influence An Zhen's soul once more. The almost materialized Law of Goodness enveloped An Zhen. Having learned from their previous failure, this time they were fully prepared. The reason it was the Goddess of Goodness who provided control, rather than the Goddess of Evil, wasn't because the Goddess of Goodness was female, or for any seductive reason. It was because they feared the Goddess of Evil might truly influence An Zhen. The fact that they shifted the battlefield of the gods from the Douluo God Realm to the cosmos showed they still had some bottom line; at the very least, they didn't want the God Realm to suffer destruction. This was what they desired. But if this being, even more powerful than the Golden Dragon King in his normal state, became evil and without any moral compass, that would be terrifying.

Especially after witnessing the other party's utterly unreasonable spatial teleportation.

If the other side wanted to, at the very least, they would find it difficult to protect the Douluo God Realm under their control.

"You are guilty!"

A powerful and majestic surge of divine soul energy slammed into An Zhen's mind like a heavy hammer. The scene before An Zhen's eyes suddenly changed, as if he had arrived at one end of a giant black and white scale, and an ominous gray mist entered An Zhen's brow.

'I am guilty, I need to atone.'

A strange mental suggestion echoed in Anzhen's mind.

The "sinner" Anzhen suffers double the restraint from the "redemption" of kindness.

This is one of the powers of the Scales of Order. It allows for the forced judgment of a creature's good or evil, or its state of disorder, within a short period. The outcome can be artificially intervened by the master of the super artifact, forcibly labeling it. This makes chaotic creatures more easily restrained by order, and evil creatures more easily restrained by good. Furthermore, this method merely labels the creature; it doesn't truly change its stance on good or evil or order, preventing the opponent from suddenly entering a strange state of sudden, overwhelming power.

'I am guilty, I should be kind.'

The gentle, ethereal fluctuations of the divine soul were like the most beautiful voice in the world, softly knocking open the resistance in Anzhen's soul. The "sinful" soul felt kindness, just as a sinner who had repented for past evils finally encountered redemption, and the heavy burden of sin suddenly felt a sense of relief, making one unable to help but become immersed in it and unable to extricate oneself.

A sinister blade, seemingly formed of black flames, approached the back of Anzhen's head, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows finally seizing its prey's fatal weakness. However, at that moment, a hand suddenly reached out without the slightest warning. Before the evil god could react with surprise, Anzhen seized the little mouse that had tried to ambush him.

The deep, cold, and calm look in those eyes surprised and moved the God of Evil. He had never seen such a gaze before, devoid of any emotional fluctuation. Yet, it was not the expressionless dullness of a soulless being or the lifeless death of a god. Rather, it was like a true god, gazing indifferently and equally at everything in the world. However, this time, the deity sitting high in the heavens was ultimately angered by this little action.

"Boom—" The terrifying explosion seemed to illuminate the entire universe at that moment. The light was so bright that even the divine soul had to avoid its edge. The scorching aftershocks were so intense that even the divine body could hardly withstand the heat. It was as if a star suddenly released all its light and heat in that instant, compressing its long life into a brief moment of glory.

Anzhen's understanding of the laws of stars was not for nothing.

A figure was thrown backward in a disheveled manner from the center of the explosion.

The extreme light and heat fell upon the God of Evil, a force even a god-king could hardly withstand. His body appeared to be completely devoid of intact skin. However, judging from his still relatively stable life force, there were no fatal injuries. Even so, the God of Evil's condition was far from good. The lingering power of the star's laws clung to him like maggots, constantly causing new injuries. In his current state, he had neither the time nor the energy to suppress this force.

A gentle breeze swept away the aftershocks of the explosion, revealing An Zhen's figure.

A surge of spiritual energy rippled through the sky, and his calm yet unyielding tone seemed to proclaim a final judgment, echoing across the entire starry expanse: "If this is all you can do, then your farcical struggles shall end here."

An Zhen raised her hand, and a milky white spiritual light appeared on her raised fingertips. That was "One," the origin of all things, the chaos that contained everything, the beginning and the end. A vast and boundless power continuously poured into it from within the world. In an instant, one begot two, two begot three, and three begot all things. Thousands of laws intertwined within it, yet remained a unified whole, as if a miniature world had been directly evolved.

What a magnificent and dazzling scene it was! The terrifying and extraordinary fluctuations spread like huge ripples on the surface of water after a stone was thrown into it. The dark and cold cosmic sky was suddenly bursting with thousands of lights. The power of the world drew out the myriad laws that existed in this universe. Such a magnificent scene made the gods subconsciously stop what they were doing. They had long since transcended the limits of mortals and felt their own insignificance among the stars for the first time. They held their breath and stared at this scene, waiting for the final answer that would determine the success or failure of this coup.

The three—Old Asura, Good, and Evil—exchanged glances.

"Asura Blood Sword!"

As if it had burned out its last bit of power, a beam of crimson divine light shot out.

"The highest good is like water!" The area within tens of thousands of kilometers was suddenly distorted by terrifying divine power and laws, turning into a bright day. Then, a point of light suddenly condensed, with terrifying power brewing within it. It fell, as if it were being pulled by gravity, which does not exist in the vacuum of the universe, and transformed into a white giant sword without the slightest impurity, hanging above An Zhen's head like the Sword of Damocles.

What followed was an endless night.

Blood, black, and white—three colossal swords hung in the cosmic sky. This familiar scene stirred the gods' hearts, and they fled at top speed with all their might. Although they had been far from where An Zhen and the others had fought, the Creation Judgment Sword that had slain the Golden Dragon King had left them with a profound shock. This was definitely not a scene they could interfere with; even the aftershocks would be enough to severely injure them.

The benevolent god, whose virtue is as gentle as water, corresponds to the positive side of the divine realm; the malevolent god, whose aura is chilling, corresponds to the negative side; and the Asura god, who controls order, mediates and maintains order in the divine realm. Although it lacks the life and destruction gods, who represent the positive and negative sides of the divine realm, the combination of the three swords is still relatively complete.

"That's more like it." Anzhen's lips curled into a slight smile.

Come, let me see whether your divine laws are more powerful, or my world power is superior.

"An Zhen!" The three primordial god-kings exerted all their divine power, merging their three swords into one. Terrifying divine power and law fluctuations erupted, slashing towards the lofty figure above. (End of Chapter)
