"Little Purple's laws, Evil you…"
With a "whoosh," the Life God King stood up, his face showing an expression of shock and horror.
"That's right. Within these two masses of energy are the complete law frameworks of both me and Destruction, condensed separately."
The Evil God King sighed. "There's no way we could defeat Asura once he's restored to his peak. When Destruction asked me if there was any way to make Asura suffer a bit, this idea came to mind."
"Ning Rongrong, I don't know whether these law frameworks will be useful to you, but the portion involving the Dragon God's gift—though it's only a tiny bit—should still be of some help."
"Of course, this is just my guess."
The Evil God King's gaze shifted from Ning Rongrong to the Kindness God King and the Life God King.
"I know Asura's personality very well. If he gains the upper hand, you two won't be able to escape either."
"If my guess is correct, the divine seats you used to open the joint seal of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King that imprisoned the God Realm's space have probably also fallen into Asura's hands."
"Me, you two, plus Destruction, and the divine seats Asura already possessed himself."
"He is now infinitely close to Supremacy."
"Moreover, with his personality, he would never have acted against us unless he had absolute certainty of breaking through to a higher dimension."
"Life, Kindness—I hope you can prepare for the worst."
"Since my main body has already fallen, there isn't much more I can do to help you."
"Evil…" The Kindness God King opened his mouth, but the words caught in his throat.
"Hahaha, no need to feel sad or grieve." The Evil God King laughed heartily. "Originally, I intended to test those two little guys, Ji Dong and Lie Yan, but various things happened and it was put on hold."
"But to think that I would end up making the same choice as that guy Destruction."
"It seems the God Realm has become utterly boring! So boring that I actually got schemed against by Asura."
"Kindness, you win."
"Evil, I…"
"No need for that. If we can't get past Asura this time, the day we reunite will probably come very soon." The Evil God King interrupted the Kindness God King once again.
"Live on, Kindness. Live on carrying my share as well. Oh, and Life—Destruction felt roughly the same toward you; otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to stay behind so you could escape."
The Life God King remained silent, tears glimmering at the corners of his eyes.
The Evil God King's figure grew even more illusory, as though he might vanish at any moment.
He seemed to notice this as well.
"There isn't much time left." The Evil God King returned to the main topic, his gaze once again falling on Ning Rongrong. "You should have already obtained laws related to Asura. Now, with me and Destruction, plus Life and Kindness all here with you."
"If you can comprehend the power of all five of us, and then add the laws that the Silver Dragon King inherently possesses."
"Then even if you can't match Asura, the gap won't be too great."
"Of course, this is just my own thinking. Whether you can actually reach that level, I have no idea!"
"Anyway, I'm just a dead god now. None of this has anything to do with me anymore."
"Ning Rongrong, farewell."
"Oh, right—one more thing. When you see the Silver Dragon King, please pass on an apology from me."
"Back then, whether it was right or wrong—at the supreme level of the Dragon God—we were simply carrying out his orders."
"Hmph, I don't need your apology, Evil!"
A figure emerged from the void—it was precisely Gu Yuena and Di Tian, who had been hiding nearby.
"Oh?"
There was a hint of surprise in Evil's tone. "I really didn't expect to see you again after so many years!"
"Hmph!" Gu Yuena said coldly, "Beaten by Asura until you're like stray dogs, then coming to Douluo Star to beg for help—you really are in a pathetic state!"
"Well, pot calling the kettle black." The Evil God King didn't bother arguing. However, both Life and Kindness were quite surprised when they saw Gu Yuena—after all, the other party's aura was actually that of a God King.
But knowing that Evil didn't have much time left, neither of them spoke.
The Evil God King's voice rang out again:
"Silver Dragon King, right and wrong don't matter to a dead man like me. But if you're calling us stray dogs, you're not much better off yourself!"
"Don't tell me you broke through to God King on your own strength—I won't believe that!"
"You…" Gu Yuena's face turned purple with rage.
The Evil God King was clearly implying in every possible way that she, Gu Yuena, wasn't all that great—basically on the same level as him, half a pound to eight ounces.
"As expected!" Seeing the expression on Gu Yuena's face, the Evil God King knew he had guessed correctly. This gave him even greater hope for the future.
Because Ning Rongrong was a variable. If she could create a God King, then perhaps he himself might not be unable to break through to match Asura, or even…
"What do you mean 'as expected'!" Gu Yuena exploded. "Di Tian, tell me—am I, the dignified half-body of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, really inferior to a mere little Evil God King who only reached level 150 by stealing the Dragon God's power?"
"Uh, I decline to comment."
Di Tian used spatial jump and instantly appeared behind Ning Rongrong.
Gu Yuena: "…"
Good grief, Di Tian—you've got a new master now and abandoned your old one, huh?
"Heh, Silver Dragon King—or rather, Gu Yuena now. I don't have much time left. I don't want to argue with you, and there's no point anyway."
The Evil God King acted like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water. "If you want to die a little faster, feel free to keep wasting words with me."
"Ning Rongrong, how far these two masses of law energy can take you, I can't judge."
"Perhaps they can give you a slim chance of survival."
"Do it as quickly as possible!"
"Surpass God King—otherwise, everything will be too late…"
The Evil God King's figure became completely transparent.
With a gentle tremor of the image, it turned into specks of light that scattered across the ground.
Leaving behind only the speechless crowd that remained silent for a long time.
"Rongrong, what do we do next?"
After a long period of silence, Ning Fengzhi finally broke the quiet atmosphere.
"Sigh!"
Ning Rongrong let out a long sigh and carefully stored away the law energies belonging to Destruction and Evil in front of her.
"I don't have many ideas. Just as the Evil God King said—the most urgent thing right now is to raise our strength as quickly as possible."
"We really don't have much time left."
"Gu Yuena, I called you here not to let you throw a tantrum." Seeing that Gu Yuena was still glaring fiercely at Life and Kindness, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but speak up.
"Ning Rongrong, are you saying you want me to join these two stray d—"
"Enough!"
"If it weren't for Di Tian's absolute loyalty to you, I could have completely stripped away your God Position and divine power earlier and bestowed them on Di Tian, allowing him to achieve the position of God King instead of remaining merely a first-level god now."
"You…"
Gu Yuena's eyes widened in disbelief.
This pink-haired girl actually dared to berate her?
On what grounds? On what basis?
And even talk about stripping away her God Position and divine power—who did she think she was!
The Dragon God?
"Gu Yuena, you are only the Silver Dragon King. You are not the Dragon God. If the Dragon God hadn't been split apart by Asura God, neither you nor the Golden Dragon King would even exist."
"Moreover, even as the Dragon God, you would still be a failure!"
"Impossible!" Blood threads appeared in Gu Yuena's almond-shaped eyes. "I…"
Ning Rongrong slightly raised her fingertip.
A streak of white light shot into Gu Yuena's sea of consciousness.
Just as Gu Yuena was about to resist,
Ning Rongrong brought her hands together:
"Time-Space Imprisonment!"
Gu Yuena's body and consciousness instantly froze in place.
"Di Tian, throw Gu Yuena back into the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest. Let her soak in the water and cool off."
"Yes."
Di Tian grabbed Gu Yuena, opened a spatial rift, and left without the slightest hesitation or delay.
Silence—a deathly silence filled the entire hall.
