------------------------------------------------------------
On Di Tian's side, he had returned triumphantly after a great victory, and on Tang San's side, he had also survived a deadly trial.
The integration of the seven divine realms was successful. The explosive power generated by their collision successfully broke through the cosmic black hole.
The newly merged divine realm still centered around the Douluo Divine Realm, which remained the strongest among the seven. Even amidst the chaotic God King melee in the Ancient God Ruins, the Douluo side ultimately prevailed.
Compared to the original timeline, Tang San, due to Di Tian's involvement, had sent out two of the strongest supreme divine artifacts and consumed a large portion of the Divine Realm's central energy.
To win the God King melee, aside from necessary "standard operations" like outside-the-ring interventions, Tang San's side had essentially risked everything.
Even Rong Nianbing, who had one last supreme artifact left, ended up using it.
At the final critical juncture of the God King melee, Dai Yuhao (Huo Yuhao) once again shined brilliantly.
Just like when he previously challenged the Destruction God King Zi, he ignited his Divine Flame once more. In that instant, his spiritual power surpassed all God Kings, allowing him to strike faster than the enemy and seize the victory token—a prayer bead provided by the Immortal Emperor Sea Dragon, which was not inferior to a supreme divine artifact.
Thus, his team claimed victory in the God King melee.
In terms of cultivation level, Dai Yuhao was still half a step short of becoming a full God King.
Just like the last time he challenged Destruction God King Zi and failed, Zi had forcibly extinguished his Divine Flame out of a desire to preserve his potential.
This time, it was the same.
Multiple God Kings jointly acted to forcibly extinguish Dai Yuhao's Divine Flame again.
Although he had once again brushed past death's door, lying on Tang Wutong's lap pillow, Dai Yuhao was overjoyed.
You could tell from his still-smiling face—even in unconsciousness—how happy he was.
It was like his thoughts were written all over his face:
"I performed so excellently this time, Father-in-law will surely be pleased. If he's in a good mood, maybe he'll finally allow me and Wutong to take our relationship to the next level. Then I can… hehe…"
Of course, all of his excellence was the result of his dear father-in-law's strict training and guidance.
However, Dai Yuhao's dream wasn't realized in his first round of unconsciousness.
It happened during the second time he passed out.
His first blackout had been in service of helping Father-in-law Tang San win the God King melee. He proposed the cheating strategy, executed it, and played a crucial role in everything.
Perhaps due to the ongoing cosmic black hole crisis and lack of downtime, Tang San didn't have the leisure to entertain his wish at the time.
Or maybe there were other reasons...
In any case, Tang San finally approved his desire during Dai Yuhao's second bout of unconsciousness.
At that moment, the seven divine realms—now merged into the "Divine Circle"—had just broken free of the cosmic black hole.
Dai Yuhao, having exhausted his spiritual power helping multiple God Kings, fell into unconsciousness a second time.
But this misfortune turned into a blessing.
He absorbed a large amount of chaotic energy produced by the divine realms colliding and fully ascended to the God King level, successfully gaining a God Seat as the Emotion God King.
His strongest external soul bone—originating from the Evil-Eyed Tyrant Dominator's Eye—had been elevated by this chaotic energy from divine artifact to supreme divine artifact, becoming the Eternal Eye, the only supreme spiritual artifact within the Divine Circle.
The moment Dai Yuhao became the Emotion God King, his long-awaited wish—to take things further with Tang Wutong—was finally granted by his father-in-law Tang San.
At that moment, even the air he breathed felt sweet.
Still lying on Tang Wutong's lap, even after regaining consciousness, he refused to open his eyes, simply wanting to savor the moment and dream about the night to come.
Even during the Divine Circle God Realm Committee Meeting chaired by Tang San and other God Kings, Dai Yuhao listened half-heartedly, letting words pass from one ear out the other.
Because the opposing six God Kings had not discovered the Douluo Realm's cheating, and with the cosmic black hole crisis as a shared external threat, they had no desire to dig deeper.
After all, the Stabilizing Divine Array formed by the seven divine realms couldn't fully withstand the black hole's tearing force.
And the Douluo Divine Realm did indeed demonstrate strength rivaling that of the six other divine realms combined.
So, the current state wasn't that different from the original timeline.
Tang San proposed that the twelve participating God Kings jointly serve as leaders of the Divine Circle's God Realm Committee, and that all decisions be made by vote.
But Mad God Lei Xiang objected.
He argued that the ruling body shouldn't have an even number, but an odd number for balance.
Clearly, he feared Tang San's potential veto power.
The six God Kings from the original Douluo Realm—now half of the Committee—obviously followed Tang San's lead.
If these six opposed a motion, the Divine Circle would grind to a halt.
In the end, however, Tang San did not accept Lei Xiang's suggestion.
The Divine Circle's ruling body remained twelve God Kings, with the Douluo Divine Realm holding half the seats.
Inside the Committee, Tang San and the other God Kings were now working to fully integrate the energy cores of the seven divine realms, evolving the Divine Circle into a "Divine Star."
And their next mission?
To help Tang San find his son—Tang Wulin.
This was a special request Tang San had made back when the divine realms were still trapped in the black hole.
At the time, the Douluo Divine Realm had volunteered to absorb the impact from the other six realms, using the collision energy to break out.
To compensate the Douluo side, the other God Kings agreed to fulfill Tang San's personal request.
And now, at the first full Committee meeting of the Divine Circle:
Tang San said,
"Thank you all for helping me find my son.In the universe where the Douluo Realm originally existed, there is a life planet called the Douluo Plane—that is where my son, Tang Wulin, resides."
"To find him, we will likely face off against a newly risen God King—Dragon God Di Tian."
At this point, none of the other God Kings felt particularly worried.
"Just one God King? So what? No matter how strong he is, he's nothing before the might of our twelve.A mere speck of dust before a mountain—he can be crushed with a flick of the finger!"
But then, Tang San's next words caused many of their expressions to change.
"Before Di Tian, there was the original Dragon God, and it took five God Kings from the Douluo Divine Realm, plus five supreme divine artifacts, to perform the ultimate technique—the Three Realms Judgment Sword—just to kill him."
"But now, Destruction God King Zi and Life God King Green have already reincarnated,so the Three Realms Judgment Sword can no longer be used."
"What's more, it's very likely that three God King-class inheritance seeds have fallen into Di Tian's hands."
"We must return quickly—before Di Tian truly grows powerful enough to become unstoppable."
