Douluo Continent: My strongest soul beast was exposed by the Heavenly Curtain?

Chapter 53 The Value of Second Place! A Mysterious First Appearance? (Please Read On!)

Tian Dou City.

At this moment, the entire city fell into an eerily silent stillness.

No one dared to make a sound.

Even a single, unconscious increase in breathing can send shivers down one's spine, for fear of disturbing the terrifying figures that have not yet completely dissipated in the sky.

Especially Gu Yuena.

That figure with cascading silver hair, like a god descending to earth, has left an almost eternal shadow in the hearts of countless ordinary people.

That's not reverence.

It is fear that comes from the depths of one's soul.

"That...that's the Dragon God?"

Finally, someone spoke cautiously, their voice trembling.

The sound was very soft, yet it was like a pebble thrown into stagnant water.

"That's...that's terrifying!"

"So many gods... so many high and mighty gods... yet... they can't do it?"

'

"If—if it were us—"

"I'm afraid there won't even be any crumbs left—"

Whispers spread quietly among the crowd.

No one refuted.

No one laughed.

Because everyone knows clearly in their hearts that this is not an exaggeration.

This is a fact.

Despair, apocalypse, and the feeling of the world collapsing hung like an invisible cloud over Tiandou City.

Whether you are a Soul Master or an ordinary person, no one can escape this fate at this moment.

For the first time, humanity realized so directly and clearly just how breathtakingly powerful soul beasts truly were.

This power is beyond "invincible".

Instead, the act of accepting it evokes feelings of rejection and fear.

In the past, humans could comfort themselves by saying "Gods are above".

So now even God has fallen.

at the same time.

Yuexuan.

The morning sun slowly rises from the east.

The soft sunlight spilled into the courtyard, making it appear quiet and peaceful.

Unlike the deathly silence of Tiandou City, this place seemed to be isolated from the outside world, becoming a separate world.

Li Yannian stood with his hands behind his back, perched on a high place, quietly admiring the sunrise.

Golden sunlight shone on his profile.

At the edge of his vision, in the sky, the figures of gods were turning to ashes.

To outsiders, this scene might seem like the end of the world.

But in Li Yannian's view, it was a unique kind of enjoyment.

It even carries a touch of long-lost nostalgia.

Standing beside him, Tang Yuehua's gaze was complicated.

She gazed at the sky for a long time before speaking softly.

"This is practically the end of the world for the gods."

Even the gods are like this —

Her voice carried a hint of confusion.

"Then where can we humans go?"

This is not a simple question.

It is a question concerning the future of all humanity.

After a moment of silence, Tang Yuehua suddenly turned her head and looked at Li Yannian.

"Master————"

"You said—we humans must also have such powerful beings, right?"

"Or rather—in the future, will it happen?"

She paused, then added, her tone brimming with barely concealed curiosity.

"besides----"

"Can those gods really die so easily—?"

In Tang Yuehua's understanding.

Gods should be beings that are high above and immortal.

Even if defeated, it should not be so easily forgotten.

Upon hearing this, Li Yannian's lips curled up slightly.

It was a serene smile that reflected a profound understanding of the world.

"It's not that simple, of course."

His tone was calm, yet he succinctly revealed the essence of the matter.

"Those are nothing more than incarnations of gods."

"They are unwilling to let their true forms risk the backlash from the other plane when they descend."

Tang Yuehua was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized.

"I see----"

"So—those gods didn't actually all die out?"

"No."

Li Yannian shook his head and corrected him.

"It's not fake."

"Instead—they sacrificed at least half of their power to create their true avatar."

"Now that they've died at Gu Yuena's hands, what does it mean to them—"

He smiled softly.

"But it will hurt for a long time."

Tang Yuehua subconsciously widened her eyes.

"Wouldn't that mean—"

"A huge loss?"

"It's more than just a loss."

Li Yannian said calmly.

"I'm afraid they're seething with hatred right now, but there's nothing they can do about it."

It was as if to prove this statement.

The scene in the sky changed once again.

Lake of Life.

As the last deity's figure completely vanished, the violent atmosphere on the battlefield finally began to subside.

Gu Yuena raised her hand.

Silver divine power fell like spring rain.

The shattered earth and the torn lake shore were rapidly restored by divine power.

The churning lake waters returned to calm.

It was as if the earth-shattering divine war that had occurred before had never happened.

After doing all this, Gu Yuena turned around and looked at Di Tian and the others.

Her voice was clear, cool, and resolute.

"Those guys didn't actually die."

Di Tian, ​​Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, and the others all tensed up at the same time.

"Sooner or later,"

Gu Yuena's gaze was deep.

"We will once again march on the realm of the gods."

"The corrupt divine realm is due for a thorough cleansing and revolution."

The words fell.

Di Tian and the others knelt down on one knee at the same time.

"Yes, my lord!"

"As you command!"

This moment.

Even if the sky remains.

The human world, however, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

At least that silver-haired dragon god did not wield his sword against the mortal realm.

Blue Tyrant Academy.

Yu Xiaogang and the others slowly got up from the ground.

After enduring the baptism of the Dragon God's might, they were not injured at all; on the contrary, they felt a sense of being reborn.

The seven members of the Shrek team showed a noticeable increase in their aura.

Even teachers like Flander and Zao Wou-Ki, under this extreme pressure, vaguely touched upon a new realm.

"A blessing in disguise —"

Yu Xiaogang murmured softly.

When they learned that the God Special Forces team that had been wiped out was merely an incarnation of a god, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Very good----"

"At least the entire divine realm wasn't wiped out."

"So it seems that the gods are still worth relying on."

Tang San clenched his fists, his expression excited.

"They're not as weak as we thought!"

He was completely unaware that this was the strongest power that the Asura God King and others could use on the Douluo Continent.

Subject to the suppression of heaven and earth.

Their true forms can no longer descend.

Even so, it was still easily crushed by Gu Yuena.

What does this mean?

It means from now on.

On the Douluo Continent.

Even so-called gods must take detours to avoid soul beasts.

The City of Slaughter.

Crimson mist surged.

The Asura God King returned in a sorry state.

The ravaged divine body was barely able to maintain its form.

He frantically devoured the surrounding killing power, attempting to reassemble his divine body.

In this battle, he exhausted the killing power he had accumulated over thousands of years.

He even sacrificed an avatar containing most of his own power.

Furthermore, the exorbitant price paid to win over other deities was immense.

The Asura God King felt as if his heart was bleeding.

"We lost out—"

"We've lost so much money—"

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong stood quietly on the high place.

After witnessing the crushing defeat of the God Commando, the longing in her eyes gradually faded.

Becoming a god?

At that moment, she suddenly felt that it was nothing special after all.

"So it turns out—even gods can be brought down from their pedestals."

She murmured to herself.

The same idea is growing in the minds of countless ambitious Soul Masters.

When gods are no longer mysterious or invincible, ambition will grow wildly.

And in the eyes of everyone.

The prestige of second place is still skyrocketing.

Gu Yuena, the successor of the Dragon God.

It carries the heritage of countless eras.

Yet it still only managed to rank second.

So who is the first place winner?

Everyone looked up at the sky.

The far north.

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress stood side by side.

Hyotei rarely showed such emotion.

"elder sister----"

"What was my father's past like?"

Xue Di remained silent for a long time.

"I don't know either."

"All I know is..."

"Father, you've lived for far too long."

"So long ago—he existed since the very beginning of this world."

The voice just fell.

Hyotei's pupils contracted sharply.

At that very moment, the sound of the heavens roared forth!
