Douluo: Wuhun World Tree, I am an evil soul master

Chapter 98 No. 99 The Gods Descend to Earth and Fake Death

"We must find this person, otherwise the collapse of the divine realm will accelerate!"

The gods of the divine realm gathered once more to discuss the current conflicts within the realm.

Given the precarious situation in the divine realm, the gods quickly reached a consensus: they would descend to the mortal world to find the person stirring up trouble in the shadows.

"Holy crap, this is so uncivilized!"

Xu Yan overheard the results of the gods' discussion and was completely distraught.

His aim was to throw the divine realm into chaos, so they wouldn't have the energy to focus on the mortal realm. Little did he expect that he would go a little too far and force the gods of the divine realm to inevitably descend to the mortal realm.

Previously, the gods of the divine realm had been passing down their divine positions; now, they have gone directly to the mortal realm.

"You guys are cruel!"

After realizing the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the gods in the divine realm, Lin Jiafu also decisively withdrew his Void Roots and stopped plundering the energy of the divine realm.

From now on, he'll have to pretend to be someone he's not!

The Asura God has always suspected that the troublemakers are hiding on Douluo Star. Now that the gods can descend to the mortal realm, the Asura God's faction will surely come to Douluo Star immediately.

Therefore, it's not just Xu Yan who needs to hide; Xue Di, Bing Di, and Li Wang also need to hide.

Those who became gods under Xu Yan's protection could not escape the perception of the gods after they descended to the mortal realm. Once they were exposed, the gods would surely swarm to them.

At that time, all the advantages that Xu Yan currently possesses will be destroyed.

Of course, if Xu Yan wanted to escape, he could definitely do so.

With the World Tree now grown to its current state, even if Xu Yan enters the void, his life will not be in danger.

However, can Xu Yan escape just like that?
If he is an irresponsible man, then running away is fine.

But the problem is, he's a man!
In this world of Douluo, he already has a woman of his own.

Therefore, escape is not an option; one can only temporarily endure the situation. If necessary, one can create a World Tree clone to die.

As an existence capable of stirring up the divine realm, if he were to create an avatar, that avatar would possess at least 90% of Xu Yan's strength in order to deceive the gods.

Having lost ninety percent of his clone's strength, Xu Yan's power would inevitably plummet to an unimaginable level.

“Those who achieve great things don’t stick to trivial matters!”

Xu Yan made a decision quickly.

Die once!
To make it all seem more real, he couldn't even reveal the news to his women beforehand.

It is said that people's hearts cannot withstand tests, but sometimes, tests are always there.

The gods left the divine realm and headed straight for the mortal world.

The God of Asura personally led a group of lower-ranking gods into Douluo Star, and the God of the Sea also arrived at Douluo Star, heading straight for Seagod Island.

After Xu Yan sensed the arrival of the gods, he deliberately revealed a little bit of his aura, which was immediately detected by the God of Asura.

With a thought, the gods descended upon Xu Yan's hiding place.

"Asura God, how dare you descend to the mortal realm!"

Seeing that he had been exposed, Xu Yan stopped hiding and revealed himself. While questioning, he had already activated the World Tree clone to launch a surprise attack.

The attack came suddenly, quickly and accurately.

Before even realizing what was happening, a third-level deity subordinate to the God of Asura had been pierced by the vines of the World Tree, and his divine power was almost entirely plundered in an instant.

"Help, help...me!"

These third-level deities only had time to utter one sentence before being drained dry by the World Tree, their divine positions and everything else reduced to ashes. Xu Yan's World Tree avatar's aura surged instantly, faintly capable of contending with the Asura God, but Xu Yan understood that this was only temporary.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that Xu Yan had killed one of his third-level gods with a single move, the Asura God immediately unleashed his Asura Domain, summoned the Asura Demon Sword, and charged towards Xu Yan.

The other deities were not idle either, and they acted almost simultaneously.

At the same time, Xu Yan was attacked by dozens of gods. Even with the amazing defense of the World Tree clone, it was still beaten to pieces and its branches and leaves fell off. The huge World Tree clone was so damaged that it seemed to be on the verge of completely collapsing at any moment.

"God of Asura, even if I die today, none of you will have an easy time!"

Xu Yan adopted a desperate posture and urged his World Tree clone to self-destruct!
"Damn it, seal him away!"

The Asura God, together with the other gods, quickly set up a sealing array, trapping the World Tree's avatar within it.

However, the self-destruction of the World Tree's avatar was extremely powerful, shattering the sealing array in an instant and sending the gods flying with overwhelming force. Several weak priests and third-level gods perished on the spot.

Their divine power was also absorbed by the World Tree's avatar and transferred to the now weak, dross-like main body for storage.

This is the source of energy for the World Tree's resurgence.

Most importantly, with this pure divine power as its energy source, the World Tree can grow again, starting from an even higher level.

Xu Yan felt that his plan to fake his death had not been entirely without merit.

However, to successfully fake one's death, simply self-destructing is not enough.

Therefore, after his self-destruction, Xu Yan deliberately left behind a small piece of broken branch, containing a tiny bit of life.

If the Asura God doesn't inspect it, then this broken branch might escape.

But would the Asura God not check?

The answer is naturally no.

"I knew it! A demon like you wouldn't die so easily!"

The Asura God quickly unearthed a branch that still held a sliver of life from beneath the dust, but instead of destroying it on the spot, he prepared to take it back to the divine realm for observation.

A plant-like spirit beast actually broke the restrictions set by the gods and became a deity. There must be a reason for this that he doesn't know. He must find out the truth, otherwise the crisis in the divine realm will continue.

Xu Yan sensed the broken branch fall into the hands of the Asura God and withdrew his attention from it. If the Asura God allowed the broken branch to absorb life force, it would slowly grow back.

Once the remaining branches have grown to a certain extent, they will begin to absorb energy from heaven and earth to grow, even without Xu Yan's control.

This is the characteristic of the World Tree!
This will further attract the attention of the gods in the divine realm, thus giving Xu Yan time to grow in secret.

"Indeed, we must not underestimate anyone!"

Even in the sewers of a fantasy world, the gods in the Douluo Continent still possess some abilities.

The Asura God, who thought he had annihilated and captured the root cause of the chaos in the God Realm, did not leave Douluo Star immediately. Instead, he descended upon the City of Slaughter and granted Tang San a period of good fortune.

As a god-king, the Asura God easily discovered that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul had lost its royal bloodline, which greatly reduced the value of Tang San's twin martial souls.

However, the God of Asura was, after all, a God King, and directly elevated Tang San's bloodline.

"Take good care of him!"

After giving Tang Chen, the King of Slaughter, some final instructions, the God of Asura returned to the God Realm, satisfied.

Not long after the gods left, news spread from Douluo Star that a plant-based soul beast had become a god, disrupting the order of heaven and earth, and had been killed by the gods.
