Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 153 Ascending to the God Realm, First Encounter with Tang San's True Form, Dai Yuhao is Nervous!

The God of Destruction clearly had no intention of explaining, and his lingering resentment vanished into the Scepter of Destruction.

"You can give it a try, I'm here anyway," Xia Mi said telepathically.

“Okay,” Nan Liujing said decisively.

Awakening from the sea of ​​consciousness, Nan Liujing glanced at the purplish-black light in the distance again, but this time his body did not experience any abnormalities.

Na'er was still waiting when he suddenly leaped down.

"Brother, how's it going?"

Na'er asked.

Nan Liujing said, "There's a place about a thousand meters away from where we are. If there's any special situation, we can go and take a look."

"Shall we set off now?" Na'er asked excitedly.

"Walk."

The two sped up again, heading straight for the coordinates of the destroyed condensate.

In a lush green valley, seven figures stood together.

These were none other than the Seven Demon Kings who came here to explore a thousand years ago, and who ultimately all perished here.

"Hehe." The wrinkled, white-haired old demon of ruin chuckled sinisterly, "The academy has finally sent people. What do you say?"

"What else can I say? Of course, it's a lottery to decide who gets to enjoy the training process first," said the Nightmare Demon, a burly man with a hooked nose and equally white hair.

The icy-eyed old demon immediately took out a lottery tube, shook it, and seven slips of paper emerged from the holes.

Each of the seven people took out one and then opened it to take a look.

"Damn it, five hundred years have passed, and I've never gotten first place even once!" roared the Devouring Demon, whose mouth could split open to his ears.

"Sorry, I'm number one." The lustful old devil, dressed in a very revealing outfit with his bare, round and straight legs, looked to be no more than twenty years old and spoke in a seductive voice.

Ok?
Just as the old demons were feeling happy or dissatisfied with their assigned lot, a peculiar feeling suddenly came over them, and the expressions of the seven of them changed simultaneously.

"Oh no, they've gone to the Stone of Destruction!" The nearly three-meter-tall, obese Lazy Demon exclaimed, his expression changing.

"Stop them."

The Seven Demons acted almost immediately.

The closer you get to the center of the island, the more terrifying the destructive aura in the air becomes. There is no vegetation left around; it's completely barren.

In the dim light, a hazy deep purple hue floats, making it look like an unreal world upon closer inspection.

Finally, when they were less than two hundred meters away, Nan Liujing and Na'er spotted a very irregularly shaped object resembling a fragment of ore on a sunken patch of ground. A purplish-red beam of light shot out from it, tearing the sky apart, and thick clouds poured in from the crack, making it impossible to tell how high it was.

"What is this?" Na'er's delicate body trembled, and her face instantly turned pale.

She only glanced at the ore, and her body and soul felt as if they were being torn apart; even the Silver Dragon King bloodline within her seemed to be wailing.

"Stop, don't go any further."

Suddenly, several figures flew in from afar; they were none other than the Seven Old Demons.

They wouldn't care if non-academy members landed on the island without permission, but since they were academy members, they had to protect them no matter what.

Nan Liujing ignored it, lightly touching Na'er's brow with the pad of his index finger. As a faint ripple spread, the pain that had shattered her body and soul vanished.

Na'er blinked her big eyes, looking on with curiosity.

"Na'er, I'll be leaving for a bit later. You stay here and wait for me to come back." Nan Liujing pinched her smooth cheek.

"Brother, where are you going?" Na'er asked hurriedly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Na'er's pupils reflected the intense purple light that appeared between her brother's brows.

Immediately afterwards, Nan Liujing had a scepter that was nearly ten feet long in his hand.

The more I looked at it, the more familiar the shape of the scepter seemed, as if I had seen it somewhere before.

This is... In less than a few seconds, Na'er's expression changed drastically.

hum~
As the Scepter of Destruction descended, the condensed liquid of destruction, which was peeled off from the body of the God of Destruction, and which was this irregular fragment of ore before us, instantly burst forth with endless heavenly light. Layer upon layer of terrifying intent surged out from within the heavenly light, and the heavens and earth could not help but tremble and groan.

The souls of the Seven Old Demons had been tempered here for a thousand years, and almost all of them had reached the spiritual realm. However, since their souls relied on the power of life and destruction to survive, they were naturally subject to the constraints of the destructive intent. When they flew into the air, they were immediately suppressed by the destructive heavenly light and forced to prostrate on the ground.

Na'er was unaffected, but the waters surrounding the Devil's Islands suddenly surged with towering waves. Every drop of seawater contained too much terrifying destructive power, and countless sea spirit beasts fled in panic, but no casualties were caused.

The North Sea Fleet noticed this situation but did not take any special action. The destructive energy on Devil's Island was enough to destroy everything, and they dared not gamble on the consequences of exploration.

The sunlight fell like goose feathers, covering Nan Liujing's body. Under Na'er's worried and surprised gaze, it was absorbed by the condensed liquid of destruction and disappeared without a trace.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Fearing the little girl might overthink things, Nan Liujing reassured her again before leaving.

Na'er pursed her red lips, sat cross-legged with a firm expression, and did not panic or lose her composure.

...

The world spun around him, and Nan Liujing opened his eyes.

The scene that appeared before his eyes was a vast universe, with countless stars streaking across the sky.

Each planet is unique, some barren, some a blend of green and blue, some radiating a strange brilliance, all captivating in their beauty.

The speed seemed to be increasing rapidly, and in the end, only a faint filament of light could be barely seen.

call out!
The lingering will of the God of Destruction appeared and stood beside Nan Liujing: "In the universe, there are two kinds of gods. One kind is beings who are born and gradually climb upwards until they ascend. Tang San, whom you know, belongs to this kind. The other kind is beings born innately. Even the weakest beings born innately will have the cultivation of a god at the beginning of their lives."

"Those innate beings who can directly ascend to the God-King level are all beings recognized by the origin of the universe. Therefore, my physical body, the Destruction Condensate, can communicate with the universe and transfer consciousness without distance restrictions. Of course, such transfer is like a rootless duckweed, drifting with the current until it dissipates. However, if there is a being that can be contacted on the other end, this can be avoided."

"Upon arriving in the realm of the gods, you will appear directly inside the Seed of Destruction. During this time, you can detach yourself and transform into various celestial beasts formed from celestial energy, thus avoiding being discovered and moving freely. However, you can only have this opportunity once a year."

Isn't that equivalent to a person's consciousness being directly transferred over a long distance via the internet?

Nan Liujing thought to himself subconsciously.

"Senior, you must have a reason for asking me to do this. Could you tell me?"

The God of Destruction said calmly, "You are quite clever. That's right, I do have a purpose."

"After you arrive in the realm of gods and begin your mission, try to find items imbued with celestial energy as quickly as possible. Then, head to a place called the Castle of Destruction. There, some unclaimed divine positions that fell after the battle with the Dragon God are preserved. You can secretly infuse the celestial energy you've collected into them and take the divine positions with you. Consider it a reward for awakening me."

Nan Liujing was startled. Wouldn't that mean he had acquired a bunch of divine seeds out of thin air?
The God of Destruction, unaware of Nan Liujing's thoughts, sighed, "It's difficult for a Primordial God-King to completely perish, thus the God Realm suffered a great calamity. My beloved wife and I chose to burn ourselves, hoping to protect the God Realm from destruction. Resurrection is simple: after our physical bodies disintegrate, if we reach a star system where no god of destruction or life has ever been born, we can absorb the cosmic energy of that star system to revive. Although it takes a long time, it's at least an opportunity." "Unfortunately, I still miscalculated someone."

"In other words, after your physical body disintegrated, you did not leave the plane under the jurisdiction of the God Realm as originally planned, but were forcibly left behind, making it impossible for you to be resurrected?"

Nan Liujing sighed inwardly at Tang San's ruthlessness. No wonder he couldn't wait to hand over the positions of Destruction and Life to Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena as soon as the original timeline returned to Douluo Star.

It seems he knew all along that the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life could not be resurrected, so he gave up their divine positions without any scruples.

After all, Season 4 corresponds exactly to what the God of Destruction said: "See you ten thousand years from now."

"Yes." The God of Destruction nodded slightly. "Speaking of which, haven't you already inherited a divine position?"

Nan Liujing remained silent.

"Such a young age, yet quite wary." The God of Destruction snorted. "You have no need to be afraid of anything. In fact, I should thank you for being able to fuse with the God of Destruction Crystal and awaken my lingering will to discover the problem. Otherwise, if I couldn't be resurrected after ten thousand years, I would have been completely destroyed."

After a moment of contemplation, Nanliu said, "I have obtained the inheritance of the Thunder God."

"Thor?" The God of Destruction turned his head and looked at him, his gaze burning beneath his cloak. "Good, to be noticed by him, you must be at least qualified in terms of character."

"After your journey in the God Realm is over, do me another favor. I will reward you handsomely once it is done."

"Alright." Nan Liujing was still willing to believe in the character of the God of Destruction, especially since he had Xia Mi with him. If the God of Destruction had any ill intentions, he could easily resolve them.

Ultimately, the God of Destruction is now merely a remnant of his former self, not even a complete divine will.

"About to arrive."

"The God of Destruction suddenly said."

Nan Liujing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thick gray current flashing continuously in the dark universe. Within that enormous current, a special light was faintly visible, as if something was being carried away into the distance.

Spirit world!

Nan Liujing's expression turned solemn.

"Get ready," came the voice of the God of Destruction. "From now on, I can't help you anymore."

Before Nan Liujing was ready, an endless purple-black light suddenly surged before his eyes, and his consciousness, like an arrow, pierced through a membrane and crashed into a special space.

As soon as he regained his footing, Nan Liujing was drawn to the two orbs of light in front of him.

The left sphere of light emitted a dense, purplish-black glow, with the laws of destruction constantly surging within it. Upon closer inspection, the surrounding space was continuously collapsing, veering towards annihilation. The right sphere of light, on the other hand, emitted a green-gold glow, with the laws of life nurturing all things. Whenever the laws of destruction reached their extremes, wisps of light, like branches, would gently entwine around it.

Such interplay, the destructive purple light contains a glimmer of life, as if a tender, vibrant plant sprout could emerge from the scorched earth at any moment. Life is tinged with a trace of destruction, like a towering ancient tree in its prime, concealing the veins of decay, evoking a sense of regret for the passage of time and the inevitable demise of life.

The cosmic essence of life and death is like the alternation of day and night, the cycle of life and death. They are born naturally, yet in the flow of divine power, they achieve their most complete form. Ultimately, after each overlapping cycle, a strange white light is born, which cannot be seen but carries the creation of the unity of two essences, which is mysterious and extraordinary.

Nan Liujing thought that this must be the seed of destruction and life.

He turned his head to look around, subconsciously releasing his mental energy to try and probe the situation.

As his mental energy spread, his perspective shifted away from this special space.

Before he could even feel relieved, Nan Liujing saw what the outside world looked like, and his expression changed.

Outside the special space, there was a vast hall where several figures sat cross-legged beside two orbs of light.

Nan Liujing's gaze was almost immediately drawn to a figure with long, water-blue hair that cascaded down like a waterfall. At that moment, a blue-gold radiance floated around the person, and upon closer listening, it seemed as if waves were surging, making the person extremely mysterious.

Tang San!

The other five people consisted of four men and one woman.

The man in black was eerily sinister, while the woman in white was stunningly beautiful and serene. Ji Dong, Lie Yan!
The blond man had extremely handsome features, exuding a refined and harmonious air—Rong Nianbing!

Zhou Weiqing was a tall, imposing young man with a seemingly honest appearance.

And finally, there was Huo Yuhao, with his eyes closed and surrounded by different emotions and divine powers.

The three god-kings and the three chief gods, their divine power overlapped and continuously poured into the central hub of the divine realm, attempting to stabilize the divine realm.

Nan Liujing had originally thought he would meet them ten thousand years later, but he didn't expect to meet them today. He felt a strange feeling in his heart. At the same time, he could also feel the hall shaking from time to time, which was probably because the spacetime turbulence was still colliding with the God Realm.

"How can I leave without being discovered?" Nan Liujing quickly calmed down.

He had just had this thought when he suddenly realized that his consciousness had left his body and the special space.

He arrived directly in the hall, not in human form, but as an invisible wisp of celestial energy, drifting freely.

This is much more convenient.

Nan Liujing was pleasantly surprised. He glanced at Tang San and the others again, and without delay, flew out of the God Realm Committee through the window.

The scenery of the divine realm goes without saying; it is breathtakingly beautiful. The only flaw is that the sky constantly flickers with an extremely dull gray light.

With a thought, Nan Liujing suddenly transformed into a lifelike crane, flapping its wings and leisurely flying into the air.

But after flying for less than ten seconds, he suddenly realized what was happening, and with a renewed thought, his body transformed back into celestial energy.

When the divine realm was struck by a great calamity, where did the celestial spirits that transformed into cranes come from, allowing them to fly freely?

If a passing deity were to encounter him flying so casually, he would most likely arouse suspicion.

The celestial energy can also travel, but at a much slower speed.

Nan Liujing wasn't in a hurry and drifted ahead. After the God Realm was blown away, the time rate was basically the same as that of Douluo Continent. There was no need to worry about staying here too long, as a lot of time would have passed by the time they returned.

Several hours later, Nan Liujing, who had been enjoying the view of the divine realm, finally saw a human building.

It was a palace shimmering with a strange light. A dozen or so priests were chatting around it, their expressions not very good. They were obviously worried about the spacetime turbulence. At the top of the palace gate, a plaque was hanging prominently.

Temple of Emotions!

Is this Huo Yuhao's divine territory?
Nan Liujing's heart stirred slightly. Remembering what the God of Destruction had said about finding an item containing immortal spiritual energy, he immediately rushed into the temple.

Ok?
Huo Yuhao, who was far away in the Divine Realm Committee, transmitting divine power and working together to stabilize the security of the Divine Realm, couldn't help but tremble slightly.

“Someone has entered the temple, it wasn’t Wu Tong.”

"Yuhao, don't get distracted!"

Tang San, who was sitting cross-legged in the main seat, suddenly spoke.

"Yes, Father-in-law." Dai Yuhao's calm expression suddenly tightened, as if he was terrified of the other party.
