We all time-traveled at the same time, but why isn't anyone human?

Chapter 84 God Shura

How----

How is that possible?!

Looking at the dragon that suddenly appeared before him, its wings spread wide as if billions of stars were twinkling as it flew towards the starry sky, the God of Slaughter's face showed an expression of disbelief.

This is outer space, at least a million meters above the Earth's surface. Even if he flew at high speed using his divine sense, it would still take him several minutes to escape the atmosphere of Douluo Star.

The dragon that flew towards the starry sky took less than half a minute from transformation to appearance to arrive in front of it.

Such speed.

It has surpassed the limit of a second-level god and reached the level of a first-level god.

What kind of power could give it such a yearning for the universe and starry sky, allowing it to break free from the stars and fly into the cosmos with just a few flaps of its wings?

Not far away, Lu Ping's avatar appeared faintly, smiling and explaining with narrowed eyes.

"The dragon soaring towards the stars possesses the power of exploration within the laws of the universe. It represents the boundless desire for exploration and curiosity of all living beings, a product born from the extreme explosion of the curiosity that Di Tian has accumulated over 890,000 years."

The universe is boundless and expands every second at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

Even the creator god, after creating the universe, could not stop the power of "expansion" from continuing to expand outward.

This special power exists deep within the heart of every intelligent being. As long as a being has awakened its intelligence, it will be curious about the unknown and have a desire to explore the future.

On Douluo Star, the one with the strongest pioneering spirit is undoubtedly Di Tian.

He traveled the world, knowing that Douluo was a star and that the universe was vast and boundless.

He knew that becoming a god was not the end, and even the Dragon God was far from the end; the starry sky held countless possibilities.

His sense of responsibility towards the dragon race and soul beasts gave him the strongest protective heart, and he was willing to evolve into a dragon that protects the world.

His curiosity about the universe and the starry sky awakened a power with infinite possibilities, allowing him to evolve into a dragon that flies towards the stars.

"The reason why Di Tian was able to fly out of the ground in half a minute is because the power of 'expansion' can ignore the rules of physics for a short time and carry out expansion at the conceptual level."

"This expansion can be a physical distance, a bottleneck in cultivation, or something like a bloodline constraint or genetic shackle. There is no weak conceptual power."

"However, at this stage, this ability is still in its initial stage, and the mechanism still needs to be explored slowly. Like the wish-granting power of the Miracle Ice Silkworm, it still needs to be developed."

Lu Ping gathered a ball of pioneering power in his right hand, which seemed to contain dazzling stars, and a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes as he murmured to himself.

The conceptual-level power he now possesses is no less than that of Lu Ping, who returned to the world of the Curse.

Unfortunately, he hasn't found a wheelchair like the "Demon Void Luo" yet, and the abilities he obtains can only be developed little by little by Tang San and the others, so the efficiency is really not high.

and so.

The second phase of the plan needs to be accelerated.

He needs a larger base, more samples, and more intense emotions to evolve into a more perfect ultimate form.

"Our boundless hope for the future cannot be stopped by anything."

"God of Slaughter, die!"

Tang San's lips curled into a slight smile, and his left eye slowly transformed into the Evil Eye of Death Perception, about to fall heavily onto the "death point" of the God of Slaughter's divine sense.

however.

Just then.

In the dark and deep universe, a powerful force with unparalleled pressure suddenly appeared. Even a slight leak of it almost caused Tang San's soul to collapse and disintegrate. Even the fragments of Di Tian's soul were nearly annihilated. They could only struggle to withstand that terrifying pressure.

Stop, mortal.

Behind the God of Slaughter's divine sense, a tall and robust figure slowly emerged.

The figure was not a physical entity, but rather a divine avatar formed from tangible killing intent. The avatar was enveloped in dark red light, clad in a set of dark red armor with demonic patterns, and had long red hair. It looked cold and powerful.

"Lord Asura God, save me!"

Upon seeing the red-haired man appear, the God of Slaughter was overjoyed. He flew to the red-haired man's feet, crying and laughing, and vehemently accused him.

"Those monstrous creatures on Douluo Star have secretly grown to the point of god-killing. Please, Lord Asura God, give me another chance. I will definitely lead my troops to conquer Douluo Star and punish these monstrous creatures—"

"Shut up."

The Asura God glared at the God of Slaughter with a look of disappointment and anger, and scolded him.

"A level two god, and one who possesses a divine position and wields a divine artifact, being chased to this extent by a group of children who are only ten years old—in the history of the divine realm, you are probably the first one."

In an instant, the God of Slaughter's face turned bright red, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"If they were truly incredibly powerful and could crush you, that would be one thing, but look at them, which one of them has god-level strength, and which one of them has the power to leave you helpless?"

"The Divine Realm Committee watched your entire battle, and I'm utterly humiliated. How did you manage to make such a blunder at every turn? I think you should just give up being the God of Slaughter and become the God of Clowns instead."

Just now, in the God Realm, within the God Realm Committee, all the God Kings, after witnessing the battle of the God of Slaughter, cast sympathetic glances at the God of Asura.

That God of Slaughter is such a clown.

With his strength, if he had used the Seven Kills of the Gods from the beginning, there wouldn't have been so many problems later on. Since the Soul Beast Masters didn't know each other's abilities, they naturally couldn't cooperate and pull off a comeback.

But he insisted on playing along, on pretending first.

In the battles that followed, he had countless opportunities to make amends, but he missed them all.

Why doesn't he understand the timeless principle of killing the healer first in a raid?

First, use a single-target skill to kill the healer, the Undying Jade. As for the rest, even if Tang San has the ability to burn his life force to protect others, he has no sustain. How can they fight him?

Throughout the entire ordeal, the God of Slaughter was led by his emotions. First, he was enraged by the Tyrant Lion, and then he was thrown into disarray by the lightning of the Dimensional Evil God. Even his final escape was extremely disheveled, which made the God of Asura so angry that he really wanted to descend to the mortal realm and beat him to a pulp, so that he would not embarrass himself any further.

"Lord Asura God, I was wrong, but the most urgent task now is to capture those beasts."

Knowing he had no room for argument, the God of Slaughter lowered his head and said with a wronged expression.

"I'll settle your score with you when we get back."

As for you—

The God of Asura slowly shifted his gaze from the God of Slaughter to Tang San, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Your performance just now was witnessed by both the Divine Realm Committee and me. You, along with those Soul Beast Envoys on the ground, were all quite impressive."

"If you are willing to release these soul beasts, I will pass on the Asura Godhood to you, and other soul beast wielders will also have the opportunity to become gods."

"Don't worry, even if your souls separate, it won't cause them much harm. Our God Realm Committee has already seen that what they left on you is just a fragment of your soul. Even if they separate, they won't harm your original body. You don't need to worry about hurting your friends."

The Asura God's voice was calm and even as he spoke with a smile.

He was completely different from the fierce and intimidating God of Slaughter; he possessed a grand and imposing aura.

Upon hearing this, Tang San, Di Tian, ​​and Xie Yan all had their pupils shrink simultaneously, and an eerie atmosphere arose between them.

Half an hour earlier, in the realm of gods, the five great god-kings had already watched the entire battle in the lower realm and each spoke.

God of Kindness: These children are innocent. Their friendship and bond with the soul beasts are pure. There must be some mastermind behind them pushing them onto a different path.

God of Destruction: Regardless of the circumstances, such unknown methods are worth being wary of. I suspect that this was the work of a god-level being from outside the 108 planes of the God Realm, perhaps to devour the Douluo God Realm and further enhance their power!

In the original work, the God of Destruction had the idea of ​​expanding the divine realm and knew some methods to expand it, one of which was devouring other divine realms.

On Douluo Star today, all kinds of cosmic laws-level powers are reviving, ancient primordial alien bloodlines are returning to their ancestral form, and everyone is bound to the soul of a soul beast. This makes the God of Destruction suspect whether there are other gods from other realms secretly pushing things along.

Goddess of Life: Ladies and gentlemen, during the battle just now, I sensed some unusual auras that appeared when the God of Slaughter unleashed the Seven Killings of the God of Slaughter.

At that time, I originally intended to use a sliver of my power to revive the mortals who had been mistakenly killed by the God of Slaughter. However, a mysterious aura beat me to it. The power possessed by that mysterious aura was exactly the same as the power of the "Dragon Guardian of the World" on Tang San's body, but it was even more profound and powerful.

I suspect that it might have been the work of that person behind the scenes.

God of Evil: But if he really wants to invade the Douluo God Realm, why would he save mortals? I don't understand. He has turned the Douluo Star upside down. Is he going to tell me now that he is actually a good person?

For a time, the gods were in an uproar, unable to see through the scheme behind the scenes, nor could they understand what he really wanted to do.

but.

However, due to the different stances of the various god-kings, they were divided into two different factions.

The God of Destruction, the God of Evil, is a hardliner who advocates nipping threats in the bud no matter what. He is willing to use the power of a God-King to cripple or kill any Soul Beast that attempts to become a god, and will use every means to find out the secrets of the Soul Beast and uncover the mastermind behind it. Even if it means overturning Douluo Star, he will nip the danger in the bud.

The Goddess of Kindness and Life is a moderate who believes that mortals are innocent and that most of them are unaware of the true identity of the person behind the scenes. She advocates stabilizing the situation in the lower realm first, arguing that neither the Soul Beast Envoys nor any Soul Beast should be killed. Instead, she recommends sending gods to infiltrate the Soul Beast Envoy community and gradually investigate the truth behind the scenes.

Both factions have their own reasons. Even the seemingly gentle pro-peace faction is considering the overall interests of the Douluo God Realm.

Their main reason for advocating for a moderate approach is the fear of alerting the enemy. What if they send out a powerful deity to start the killing, and the mastermind behind it all just runs away?

After all, the Douluo God Realm has 108 main planes under its jurisdiction, and tens of thousands of smaller planes and lifeless planets. If the mastermind gets away this time, it will be very difficult to catch him again.

In the end, it was the neutral and powerful Asura God who devised an unsolvable, open strategy.

"In that case, let us grant them divine status."

He spoke with a smile, his expression gentle yet chilling.

"No mortal can resist the temptation of becoming a god and eternal life. And once they become gods, they will think about eliminating the hidden dangers in the lower realm. We don't need to worry about it at all."

"Goodness, evil, I remember you two have long since given up on this and want to go down to the mortal realm to live a carefree life, haven't you?"

"And me, Poseidon, and so on. A group of us were planning to retire anyway, so why not take this opportunity to pass on our divine positions to them? We'll be happy to be free of worry."

As soon as the Asura God spoke, the room fell silent. All the god-kings pondered the feasibility of this plan and finally nodded in unison.

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

Let's return to the present.

The God of Asura smiled and gazed into Tang San's eyes. His avatar also appeared on the ground of Douluo Star, extending an olive branch to all the Soul Beast Masters.

At present, the number of potential Soul Beast Masters is only a few dozen (those who have not evolved to the ultimate form are automatically ignored by the God of Asura). There are more than that many god positions for first-level gods alone. If we include the god positions for second-level and third-level gods, there are more than enough to go around.

Once they accept the divine position, no matter how close or friendly they were with those soul beasts in the past, they will eventually drift apart.

Not only that.

Once they truly inherit the divine positions and learn the cruel laws governing the divine realms in the universe, the new gods will eliminate any potential threats in order to maintain their positions, without needing to be told.

Whether it was the otherworldly deity who bestowed power upon them from behind the scenes, or the soul beasts they once fought alongside, vainly aspiring to become gods, none of them mattered in the face of immortality and power.

Come on, make your choice.

It is to choose a path that almost certainly leads to godhood, grants immortality and power, and leads to a glorious and dazzling heaven.

It is still a path that puts one at odds with more than 10,000 gods in the entire divine realm. Even if one goes through life and death, the hope of becoming a god is very slim. One must rely on oneself to forge a thorny path for the future.

Anyone with eyes can tell which one to choose.

"I refuse."

however.

To the Asura God's surprise...

Almost without hesitation, the group of soul beast envoys on the ground unanimously rejected the divine position he had offered.

"Immortal Brigitte and I have our own paths to walk. Why should we inherit the title of 'God of Healing'?"

"Brother Ao and I are brothers for life. You think you can break us up with just one sentence? What are you thinking? Brother Ao, can you handle him?!"

"The Dark Demon God Tiger changed my life, and I will never abandon her. If you want us to separate, you'll have to step over my dead body first."

"The Snow Empress said that there is no place for her in the God Realm, and I will not go to any place she is unwilling to go. This is something we made a pinky promise a long time ago."

Listening to these children, who were only ten years old, give one ridiculous answer after another in their slightly immature voices, even the God of Asura was speechless.

Yes.

He had completely forgotten that these soul beast wielders were not adults whose hearts were filled with "profit" and "scheming," but rather the purest and most fearless children.

He believed that no one could resist the allure of immortality and power.

But he forgot.

When he was a child, his initial dream was not to become a so-called god.

"I refuse too."

In the universe, after a fierce internal struggle, Tang San finally shook his head and chose to refuse.

Unlike other children, he was an adult in his previous life, with many complex considerations in his mind, and knew how to maximize his interests.

His refusal was different from that of other innocent children; it was a "bet" made by an adult after careful consideration.

"Di Tian once told me that a god's position is the coordinates of a four-dimensional space formed by the power of faith. After becoming a god, one can absorb the immortal energy of the divine realm, possessing a long lifespan and the ability to traverse space, descending upon numerous planes—making one extremely powerful."

"But this is still far from the starry sky that Di Tian and I want to fly to, very far from it!"

The power of exploration is limitless.

While the Douluo God Realm appears to be high and mighty, it actually only controls a little over a hundred inhabited planets. The total territory it covers is far less than a single star system, far inferior to the Divine Dragon Realm at its peak, not to mention the starry sky that Tang San and Di Tian wanted to explore.

What the World Tree can offer them is the power to explore limitless possibilities.

What the divine realm can offer them is a divine position with a fixed upper limit.

It's easy to tell who is superior and who is inferior at a glance.

As for the difficulties and obstacles along the way...

If he were afraid of danger, he wouldn't have secretly learned the Xuan Tian Treasure Record in his previous life, and Di Tian wouldn't have agreed to Lu Ping's World Tree Project.

"Ugh."

"I gave you a chance."

Asura God looked at the children on the ground and Tang San in the universe, a look of disappointment on his face, but a cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Since you do not accept the path I have laid out for you."

"Then the only option is to destroy you."

boom!

A faint red light condensed from the fingertip of the Asura God, flickering and expanding continuously. The terrifying energy fluctuations contained within made Di Tian and Xie Yan tremble all over.

As a veteran god-king who has lived since the ancient era of the Dragon God War, the Asura God's combat power can be described as the pinnacle of the god realm. He even killed the Dragon God (although it was at the Dragon God's request). When he unleashes his full power, he is capable of destroying a planet.

Although what descended to the mortal realm was merely an avatar of his divine power, it was still enough to suppress and kill all the soul beast envoys present, imprison their souls, and bring them back to the God Realm Committee.

Even before setting off, the God of Asura had already spoken with the Goddess of Life.

If negotiations break down, be prepared to use healing power at any time. Under the indiscriminate attack of the Asura God's power, if the Goddess of Life is even a step too late, those children may not even have a single fragment of their souls left.

He will destroy the physical bodies of these Soul Beast Envoys, then capture their soul fragments and those of their Soul Beast companions, using every means to interrogate them and uncover the identity of the mastermind behind it all.

This matter concerns the survival of the Douluo God Realm. As the God of Judgment and Slaughter, the Asura God would never be so merciful in this matter.

As for whether the person behind the scenes will run away, we can't worry about that now.

Compared to potential threats in the future, the threat posed by these soul beasts who are on the verge of becoming gods is far greater at this moment.

[Di Tian, ​​can you still use the form of the World Guardian Dragon?]

No! Even if you burn away half of your life and soul, you still can't stop this attack.

In the soul space, Tang San heard Di Tian's extremely anxious words, but he didn't panic much; instead, he remained very calm.

We've done everything we could.

In his past life, he committed suicide by jumping off a cliff after secretly learning the Tang Clan's secret techniques, and he had no regrets in his life.

In this life, he was killed by the Asura God for his unwavering commitment to his path, yet he had no regrets.

The only thing I feel a little regretful about is Xiao Wu.

I'm sorry, Xiao Wu, I couldn't keep my promise to protect you for the rest of my life.

boom!!!!

As the red light faded, all things fell silent.

The powerful Asura God Force was precisely controlled within the Spirit Hall arena, without even affecting Bibi Dong, who was standing nearby. It directly enveloped all the chosen children, using the purest power of slaughter and judgment to completely suppress and kill them.

"How is life?"

Asura God gazed at the abyss that had turned into "nothingness" in the arena, and in his divine form, he looked at the Goddess of Life beside him and asked indifferently.

"Something's wrong!"

however.

The goddess of life's expression suddenly turned very ugly, not because she had failed to save the children in time, but because "their souls were taken away by an invisible force."

"Your attack missed completely from the very beginning."
