Douluo Continent: Reversing Yin and Yang, the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect

The Asura God King's face darkened, and several veins bulged on the back of his hand gripping the sword hilt.

He had always disliked the God of Destruction more and more, but at this critical juncture he couldn't do anything about it. He could only snort coldly, suppress his anger, and turn his head away from him.

The kind-hearted god-king, who had been silent all along, suddenly leaned forward, his gaze lingering on Qian Xunji's young face for a moment.

"Angel," the Kind God-King spoke, his voice clear and melodious.

"I once chose a successor in the lower realm, named Qian San. What is his relationship to you?"

Qian Xunji did not hide anything and slightly cupped his hands in greeting: "It is indeed my son."

The Kind God-King chuckled softly, a hint of understanding creeping into his eyes: "I see. Since he has a first-level god as his father, what meaning does my divine trial hold for him?"

Before Qian Xunji could respond, the Evil God King tapped the table with his knuckles, abruptly ending the casual conversation.

"Family matters will be discussed later." The Evil God King stared at Qian Xunji.

"You just used that thing to establish your authority and then forcibly broke into the central hub. You must know the secrets of that other world, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji did not answer immediately.

He held his hands out to the sides, divine light gathering in his palms. In his left hand, a golden, radiant angelic sword appeared; in his right hand, the Angel's Oath burst forth from the sky.

"This is the real purpose of my trip."

The gazes of the five God-Kings instantly focused on the two swords. While the Reverse Balance Sword had already been concealed within Qian Xunji's body, these two newly appeared weapons were equally eye-catching.

The Angelic Holy Sword was something they were very familiar with; it was the orthodox divine artifact of the angelic realm. These individuals were all first-generation god-kings, and naturally knew the situation of their own divine realm intimately.

However, the uniquely shaped sword in Qian Xunji's right hand forced them to take it seriously.

The Evil God King frowned, staring intently at the blade of the Angel's Oath: "This is... a supreme artifact?"

"Not bad." Qianxunji held the Angel's Oath firmly, meeting everyone's gaze with composure.

"To be precise, this is a super artifact of the Angel King from another world."

The Asura God-King, who had been maintaining his aloof demeanor, finally couldn't help but exclaim upon hearing this title: "Angel God-King?!"

Throughout the history of the mortal realm, angels have always been only first-level deities; they have never even reached the threshold of becoming a god-king.

Qian Xunji looked at Xiu Luo, a meaningful smile curving his lips.

"Are you surprised?" Chihiro asked slowly.

"The metal disc I used to point at you earlier is called 'Anti-Phase Balance,' and it's also a super artifact. In another world, the Angel God used that very thing to outwit the Asura God King."

Qian Xunji paused, admiring the sudden change in the Asura God King's expression, and continued, "That super artifact forcibly reversed the divine ranks of both sides. In the end, the Asura God King fell from his divine altar and became a first-level god; while the Angel God, stepping on the Asura's rank, ascended to become the Angel God King of the divine realm."

After these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.

Life, destruction, good, evil—the gazes of the four god-kings all turned to Shura. Their eyes were filled with inquiry, vigilance, and even a hint of barely suppressed schadenfreude.

The Asura God King reacted the most violently.

He almost instinctively took half a step back, rising abruptly from his throne. The crimson Asura Blood Sword was instantly drawn, its killing intent erupting within the hall, locking onto Qian Xunji.

At this moment, he finally understood where that chilling sense of crisis he had just felt came from! If Qian Xunji had really activated that strange super artifact, he would probably have been stripped of his God King title by now!

"Then just now you..." The Asura God King gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing murderous intent.

Qian Xunji stood still, not even adopting a defensive stance, and simply waved his hand casually.

"I didn't do anything, did I?" Chihiro stared directly at Shura.

"If I wanted to make a move, that was the best opportunity. I locked onto you, and then voluntarily gave up. That's the greatest sincerity I can offer to the divine realm."

The Asura God King fell silent.

He held the Asura Blood Sword, his heart filled with mixed emotions, but in the end he did not bring down the sword.

In the realm of gods, strength is always the sole standard for equal dialogue.

With a trump card in hand that could threaten the God King's position, Qian Xunji already had the power to overturn the table. The Asura God King took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the lingering fear of almost falling from his pedestal, and put away his previous arrogance.

But the blood-stained sword in his hand remained unsheathed, as if only in this way could he feel safe.

"You know so much about the secrets of another world." The Asura God King stared into Qian Xunji's eyes, forcing himself to calm down.

Qian Xunji nodded, revealing his final trump card.

"Because I am from another world."

Without further ado, Qian Xunji revealed the true nature of the Inner Realm and the Divine Realm, how he managed to sneak into the Outer Realm with the help of five Divine Kings from the Inner Realm, and all sorts of other information.

"Their goal is simple." Qian Xunji looked at the five people at the round table.

"Devour. The divine positions of the two worlds share the same origin. The god-kings of the inner world have long reached a consensus—as long as they cross the boundary gate and devour the corresponding beings of the outer world, their divine status may be able to leap forward."

These words struck a chord with every god-king. To make them set aside their prejudices and unite against a common enemy, everyone had to experience a palpable sense of impending death.

The five divine kings looked unusually solemn.

Through Qian Xunji's analysis, they discovered that the impending war between the two realms was not a contest of equal strength at all. After usurping the throne, the Angel God-King of the Inner Realm, in order to consolidate his position, distributed a portion of the power that originally belonged to the Asura God-King to the other God-Kings.

This means that, in terms of individual combat strength, the opposing God-Kings are generally a level above them.

The enemy is strong and we are weak, with no way out.

"We don't have much time left," the Kind Goddess broke the silence, her beautiful face showing worry.

"The gates to the lower realm are expanding at an extremely rapid pace, and are now barely able to accommodate the passage of priests. But don't forget the time difference—one year in the lower realm is only one day in the divine realm."

The Kind God-King surveyed the crowd, his voice deep and resonant: "Once the dimensional gate expands to accommodate a first-level god, or even the God-King himself, how many days of preparation time will we have, given the flow of time in the God Realm?"

The King of Gods fell into deep thought again.

The destructive lightning surrounding the God of Destruction also subsided, and the God of Asura even stroked the hilt of his sword. They had been living in peace for far too long, far too long without encountering such a deadly situation where the slightest carelessness could lead to their complete demise.

In some ways, this mutual hunting between isomorphs is even more troublesome than the Dragon God Rebellion that nearly overturned the divine realm back then.

If not handled properly, it could lead to utter ruin.
