The Seven Divine Realms—within the core of the Divine Realm, the God of Destruction, who had been imprisoned, suddenly sensed something. He abruptly lifted his head and looked in a specific direction.
Amid the countless stars, a faint gray dot flickered in and out of view. It was unremarkable at first, yet it continued to grow larger in his vision. Although inconspicuous, one could faintly see vortexes formed by air currents.
"No... this can't be. How is this possible? How can it be such a massive space-time turbulence? I must get out—I must get out!"
The God of Destruction began thrashing madly within the Divine Realm Core. He had to break free and assist the Divine Realm. Otherwise, the entire realm—including his beloved Xiao Lü—would be in mortal danger.
"All deities of the Divine Realm, attention! All deities of the Divine Realm, attention! I am the Goddess of Life. I urge all deities to leave your homes and gather at the Divine Realm Committee immediately. A violent collision with space-time turbulence is imminent. Only by uniting our strength can we hope to resist it. Anyone who disobeys will face divine punishment."
The Goddess of Life closed her eyes in pain as she issued the proclamation. Her husband was imprisoned, and the Divine Realm Core could not be mobilized. A prior war had already gravely weakened the Divine Realm's vitality. Even at its peak, resisting such turbulence would be difficult—let alone now.
All deities, nearly burning their divine blood, poured their divine power into the Divine Realm Committee. Instantly, its radiance grew even more dazzling.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A mighty golden beam of light shot into the sky. Through the combined efforts of the gods and the harmonizing power of the Committee, their disparate divine energies fused into a single golden pillar. This golden beam enveloped the entire Divine Realm, forming a massive glowing sphere.
They stood united as one.
By this point, the space-time turbulence had made full contact with the Divine Realm, its terrifying power violently tearing apart the outer defenses. Layers of the golden barrier disintegrated rapidly but were just as quickly replenished by the divine power of the gods.
At that moment, hearty laughter rang out. Above the Divine Realm appeared Gong Changwei, Lei Xiang, Xiang Hailong, Ah Dai, Jing Wuhen, and Ye Yinzhu—accompanied by several stunning women.
Gong Changwei laughed, "Finally, the moment we've waited for has arrived!"
"What... what are you planning to do?!" the Goddess of Life, positioned at the heart of the formation among several First-Class Gods, demanded of them.
Gong Changwei replied calmly, "Life, we abandoned our respective Divine Realms for this very moment—the opportunity to seize the Douluo Divine Realm. The Divine Realm Cores of our six great realms have been linked as one. Furthermore, after countless of our gods perished, the reserves accumulated within our realm cores give us far greater endurance against the space-time turbulence than your Douluo Divine Realm."
The Goddess of Life shouted angrily, "You… you've gone too far! To save yourselves, you sacrificed the gods of your own realms. Do you still deserve to be called God Kings?!"
"Hmph! We created our realms, so the fate of our gods is ours to decide. If they were all sacrificed, it is only because your Douluo Divine Realm was too selfish to ally with us!" Gong Changwei unhesitatingly shifted all blame onto the Douluo Divine Realm. How could he be wrong? He could never be wrong.
"Come with me, Life!" Gong Changwei reached out to seize the Goddess of Life, while the other five God Kings unleashed their ultimate attacks, targeting the gods of the Douluo Divine Realm who were resisting the turbulence.
Just then, among the Divine Realm's gods, an unimaginably terrifying power erupted from within Qian Renxue. In a mere instant, it surged to an unfathomable level!
"Bang! Bang!"
As Qian Renxue's aura exploded, Qian Xunji—who was being sheltered by Qian Daoliu—seemed to grow an inch taller. His aura also skyrocketed at an alarming rate. At the same moment, Qian Daoliu's power surged just as wildly.
"What is this?"
Qian Xunji, sensing the bottomless power within him, raised his palm toward the six God Kings in the sky and gave a light slap. A terrifying wave of power burst forth. The hand seal he released effortlessly crushed the combined ultimate attack of the five God Kings.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Mists of blood erupted in the sky. All six God Kings, along with their wives, were annihilated by Qian Xunji's casual strike. The blow tore through the Divine Realm's protective barrier and shattered the golden shield jointly cast by hundreds of deities. The entire Divine Realm trembled from the force of this single attack as its sky fractured with massive cracks.
On the Dou Qi Continent, in the Soul Realm, a sea of blood churned. A vortex surfaced, and from it, a massive blood-colored lotus flower slowly rose.
Seated cross-legged atop the lotus was a figure. His crimson hair cascaded like a waterfall, some strands dipping into the blood sea, drifting on its surface like a demon's wings.
His eerie, blood-red eyes opened, and an incomparably terrifying power erupted. In a flash, the boundary wall of the Soul Realm shattered, revealing it once more to the living beings of the Central Plains.
"Qian Renhan… he has succeeded."
Gu Yuan's expression changed drastically. Staring at the sudden ocean of blood, the thick blood-red clouds, and the figure on the lotus, he felt a fear that chilled his very soul.
"A Dou Di!"
Deep underground, Hun Tiandi gazed at the blood-red figure, clenching his fists tightly, his eyes filled with unwillingness and fury. The first Dou Di to arise on the continent in thousands of years… it should have been him. It should have been Hun Tiandi!
"Father," Hun Feng said, approaching from behind.
"Feng'er, tell everyone in the Hun Clan to flee. As many as can escape, must. Our clan's bloodline must not be severed," Hun Tiandi said without turning, simply waving a hand, his heart filled with powerlessness.
"Xiao Yan, I am willing to betroth Xun'er to you. I know you already have a wife, but I am willing to let Xun'er be your lesser wife. I only beg you to protect her, to protect the last bloodline of my Gu Clan."
On the other side, Gu Yuan clutched Xiao Yan's hand, his voice grave.
At that moment, these two supreme figures of the continent, for the sake of their clans' survival, had already resolved to face death.
In the firmament above, blood-red lightning flashed. Within the blood lotus, Qian Renhan slowly rose. With each breath, a thick scent of blood emanated from him. Black energy surged across his body, devouring the blood energy. This aura was not Dou Qi from the Dou Qi Continent—it was Origin Qi.
As the black energy surged, his blood-red hair turned ashen-white, tinged with a hint of red from his Dragon-Phoenix bloodline. His blood-red robe reverted to black.
"Today is the day that I, Qian Renhan, become a Dou Di!"
