Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

……

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong put down the dossier in her hand, which was a final approval of the detailed rules for the implementation of the new imperial laws.

Outside the palace, the sun shone brightly, and the city, having endured the baptism of blood and fire, was operating with a brand new and vibrant spirit.

However, just as she was about to get up and enjoy a moment of peace, a stirring from the deepest part of the world made her suddenly raise her head.

A hint of undisguised astonishment flashed in those eyes that blended the killing intent of an Asura with the allure of a Rakshasa.

She could clearly feel that the solid floor of the hall beneath her feet, and even the entire Spirit City and the entire Douluo Continent, were "breathing" at a subtle frequency.

The pulse of the entire world seemed to instantly return to its prime, becoming strong and powerful, as if it had transformed from a frail old man into a vigorous adult.

The concentration of free energy in the air is no longer recovering slowly, but is rising in an almost savage way. Elemental particles that originally required meditation to capture are now almost solidifying and visible to the naked eye.

But that's not the point.

What shocked her most was that the divine power within her, which had already perfectly merged with the divine position and reached the limit of the mortal realm, was now being suppressed by an invisible barrier.

This barrier originates from the rules of the Douluo plane itself, and is a restriction that all gods must abide by in the mortal realm.

However, this seemingly impenetrable barrier is now crackling and splintering, like glass about to shatter.

Her divine power, like a beast breaking free from its shackles that had imprisoned her for millions of years, began to grow wildly and without end!
“Douluo Star… has evolved!” Bibi Dong murmured to herself, her tone filled with a hint of shock.

She instantly understood what this meant.

This was Xuanming and Gu Yuena's doing; they succeeded!
Bibi Dong no longer hesitated. She stood up, and a terrifying divine light, a mixture of scarlet and dark purple, erupted from her body. The Asura Godhead and Rakshasa Godhead within her body had already perfectly merged, and now, propelled by the plane's ascension, there were no more obstacles.

She closed her eyes, and her divine sense instantly connected with the spatial anchor point in the divine realm belonging to the Asura God's position.

"Om-!"

A crimson beam of light shot into the sky, tearing through the air above Martial Soul City, and a magnificent divine gate, filled with the meaning of slaughter and judgment, slowly opened.

The time for ascension has arrived.

Bibi Dong took one last look at the city she had fought for her entire life, and the magnificent golden temple of angels in the distance. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, but ultimately, they hardened into a resolute expression. She took a step forward, and her figure instantly disappeared into the blood-red divine gate.

Temple of Angels.

Almost simultaneously, Qian Renxue also felt this earth-shattering change. The angelic power within her surged through her body like a flood bursting its banks.

The exhilarating feeling of breaking free from constraints and experiencing limitless power was almost intoxicating. She could feel herself becoming stronger, stronger than ever before.

But along with the increase in power came a strange and complex sense of unease.

She knew that all of this originated from Xuanming.

That man had become more powerful than she had imagined, powerful enough to easily change the foundation of a world and to casually bestow upon her the power she had always dreamed of.

She also sensed Bibi Dong's resolute decision to open the gate to ascension. That woman, without the slightest hesitation, rushed towards the realm of gods, towards that man's side.

But she hesitated.

She suddenly didn't know how to face Xuanming. The resentment and unwillingness that had once sustained her collapsed the moment she plunged the Angelic Sword into his chest with her own hands.

The love and guilt hidden deep in his heart seem pale and powerless in the face of the absolute power disparity, and even somewhat laughable.

How should she face the man who stands at the pinnacle of the world, looking down upon all living beings? Is she an enemy? A lover? Or just a... pitiful wretch whom he casually took in?

In the end, she chose to stay in the Temple of Angels, silently feeling the growth of her power, but her heart was filled with confusion.

……

Poseidon Island.

Poseidon stood atop Mount Poseidon, gazing at the endless sea. As the aura of dimensional ascension swept over her, her azure dress billowed without wind, and the divine power of the sea god rejoiced within her. She, too, sensed the opportunity for ascension. Behind her, Xiao Wu, Hu Liena, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and others also finished their cultivation, their faces filled with shock and joy. Their divine inheritance had long been complete, but limited by the rules of the dimensional plane, their power had been suppressed to the peak of the mortal realm.

And now, that ceiling has been pierced!

Almost instinctively, they simultaneously activated the divine attributes they had inherited.

Beams of divine light of various colors shot into the sky from Poseidon Island! The God of Destruction's dark red pillar of light, the God of Emotions' seven-colored halo, the Nine-Colored Goddess's shimmering light... their gates to ascension opened simultaneously!
“Let’s go, to the realm of the gods.” Poseidon’s voice carried a hint of anticipation. “Let’s go see him.”

Without hesitation, the women transformed into streams of light and entered their respective divine gates.

……

The realm of gods, the forbidden land of gods.

At the same time that Bibi Dong, Poseidon, and others ascended to heaven, Xuan Ming, who was working with Gu Yuena to expand the divine realm, had a smile in his eyes.

“Expansion alone isn’t enough to liven things up.” He turned his head and said to Gu Yuena, “It’s time to give them some special training.”

Gu Yuena looked at him, a smile in her silver eyes, and nodded gently.

With a thought, Xuanming caused the primordial torrent, formed by the fusion of his divine power and the power of the Dragon God and fundamentally transforming the central hub of the divine realm, to split into an incomparably pure and powerful tributary.

This power can no longer be described as mere energy.

It contains Xuanming's ultimate understanding of the rules of "negation" and "domination", and also contains the Dragon God's absolute control over the origin of "creation" and "destruction".

This is the true "origin of the God-King," a treasure powerful enough to drive any deity mad.

This tributary silently split into several streams in the void, ignoring the spatial distance and law barriers of the divine realm, and precisely poured into the bodies of those beautiful figures who had just entered the divine realm and had not yet had time to adapt to the environment in a way that transcended cause and effect!

Even Qian Renxue, who was still confused in the Angel Temple in Douluo Continent, was quietly enveloped by the largest and most surging force.

"boom--!!!"

Poseidon had just stepped out of the Gate of Ascension, and before she could even stand firmly, she felt an irresistible, vast power, like a galaxy of the universe pouring in, surge into her soul and body.

Her newly stabilized peak first-level god power, propelled by this force, didn't even have a chance to struggle before beginning a crazy and unbelievable transformation!

Divinity is being reshaped, and the divine soul is being sublimated! That bottleneck that had stood between countless gods, which they could not reach even after a lifetime of effort, was broken through in an instant, as if it were made of paper!
God-King Realm!
In just a few breaths, the high priest of Poseidon Island crossed the insurmountable barrier and ascended to the realm of God-King in one step!
The same scene also happened to Xiao Wu and Hu Liena. The God of Destruction and the God of Emotion that they inherited were powerful divine positions with enormous potential.

At this moment, under Xuanming's almost unreasonable "forced growth", their divine status was forcibly elevated to the extreme, breaking through the limit without any suspense, and both of them achieved the position of God King!
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue, far away in the mortal realm, was trembling violently.

She was enveloped by the golden torrent that descended from the sky, and was pulled along against her will, tearing through the dimensional barrier and forcibly ascending.

During the intense process of traversing the dimensional barrier, her angelic divine nature was repeatedly tempered and reforged by that domineering power, removing all impurities and infusing it with a more profound understanding of the laws.

When she appeared in the sky of the God Realm with a blank look in her eyes, her aura was as vast as an abyss, and she had already reached the true God King realm!

As for Shui Bing'er, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and others, although their foundation as second-level deities was slightly inferior, they also underwent a qualitative leap under the infusion of this primordial power.

Their power soared, easily breaking through the boundary of the second-level god and reaching the first-level god, and their momentum did not diminish until they stabilized at the peak of the first-level god state, only one step away from the god king!
In a short period of time, the world of gods has undergone tremendous changes!
Xuanming, Gu Yuena, Ice Dragon King, Fire Dragon King, Bibi Dong, Poseidon, Qian Renxue, Xiao Wu, Hu Liena...

Ten genuine God-King level powerhouses emerged like mushrooms after rain!

This power is enough to make any divine realm tremble, enough to reshape the power structure of the entire divine realm.

The entire divine realm seemed to have instantly returned to the ancient era of the Dragon Gods, a glorious age long lost in the river of history, a time when gods stood tall and powerful figures emerged in great numbers!

Bibi Dong, Poseidon, and the others, who had just stabilized their realm, didn't even have time to fully savor the joy brought by the surge in power.

They all turned their gazes toward the very center of the divine realm—that forbidden zone shrouded in the chaotic, indistinct light of creation.

They could clearly feel that the source that gave them new life and strength was right there.

There was no communication, nor was there any need for communication.

Several dazzling streaks of light, radiating the aura of divine kings, pierced the sky of the newly born divine realm, rushing towards the forbidden land of gods with complex yet urgent emotions. (End of Chapter)
