"Has the sky been like this ever since that day?"
Jiang Feixin walked in from the side. Her complexion had improved quite a bit by now. She raised her head, looking up at the dark clouds and the milky-white Pure Lotus Demon Flame, and asked the two of them.
Jiang Shengyu nodded. "Yes."
"What a laughable god, using such petty tricks." Jiang Feixin's voice carried undisguised ridicule and disdain toward Tang San.
Jiang Qingtong glanced back at her, frowning. "Why aren't you resting properly? It's cold out here—be careful not to get worse! You still have to divide your strength to suppress and wear down the Sea God's Daughter inside you."
Jiang Feixin waved her hand dismissively. "I'm just out for a bit, it's fine! Besides, there's Bi Ji. With her watching over me, my body's doing great."
She walked to their side and asked, "You're not seriously planning to find a chance to communicate with that so-called God of Destruction, are you? Gods can't be trusted! Don't let yourselves get fooled by them."
Hearing the concern hidden in her words, Jiang Qingtong smiled and patted her shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry! We've only ever fooled others—when have others ever fooled us?"
"Exactly. Trust us." Jiang Shengyu nodded along.
Jiang Feixin shot Jiang Shengyu a sidelong glance and huffed, "Be careful! And take care of Qingtong!"
Hearing that, Jiang Shengyu's expression suddenly turned strange. He looked at Jiang Qingtong, and both of them revealed the same helpless look.
Jiang Feixin then asked, "Right, where's your cousin?"
"You mean Yuhao? He went to the Extreme North. His second martial soul is Ultimate Ice, so training there suits him more!" Jiang Qingtong replied, then suddenly laughed and asked, "Why are you looking for him?"
Jiang Feixin cleared her throat lightly. "I wanted to find a chance to thank him. I'm not someone who forgets kindness! Without him, I would've been swallowed by the Sea God's Daughter's spirit back then—how could I still be here now? He helped me so much. Of course I have to thank him properly."
"He should be returning soon. It's been months already," Jiang Shengyu murmured as he calculated the time.
Hearing that, Jiang Feixin nodded slightly and waved to the two. "I won't bother you anymore. Be careful."
After she left, the two turned their gazes back to the Pure Lotus Demon Flame in the sky.
The God of Destruction favored annihilation, so the place he mentioned would surely be filled with destructive power. But now, all the natural secret realms of Douluo Continent were either in Tang San's hands or had long been dismantled by Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong. Suitable locations simply no longer existed.
Since that was the case, they would just have to create one themselves.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong clasped hands. The two quickly released their Martial Soul True Bodies. Clear Moonlight at Night and Myriad-Flower Mirror Lotus slowly merged, bursting into dazzling radiance as the tall God of Destiny leapt forth!
Black-and-white flames surged outward—two colossal fire dragons formed, each as large as a palace!
The two fire dragons circled above the imperial palace.
Next, the God of Destiny brought her hands together. The Void Devouring Flame of Limit-Douluo level and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame fused instantly! Once the two violent powers were forcibly combined, an unparalleled force of destruction exploded forth!
A black-and-white lotus of flame formed in the air, larger than the main hall of the palace!
They had already informed everyone in advance, so the appearance of the fire lotus didn't cause mass panic. Even so, the residents of Ming City still couldn't help recalling the great explosion half a year ago.
The God of Destiny stepped forward and plunged into the fire lotus! A heatwave swept through. Inside the lotus, space and time seemed twisted. Even Ultimate-Douluo-level spiritual power couldn't sense anything more than a meter away.
Within the fire lotus, the God of Destiny split apart, returning to the forms of Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong. Hand in hand, they used the yin-yang complementary dual soul cores to maintain the massive lotus of destruction.
Jiang Shengyu said in a deep voice, "If you're listening, show yourself—God of Destruction."
The blazing flames roared. After a brief silence following his words, a small flame suddenly jumped up. The surrounding black-and-white fire slowly converged toward that flame, gradually molding into a humanoid figure made of fire.
The figure had no facial features, only a rough human outline. Yet even so, the aura it emitted made Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong's expressions change.
The God of Destruction!
It was unmistakably him!
His gaze fell upon the two, and after a moment of silence he asked, "You are the 'evil beasts' Tang San spoke of?"
"From your point of view, are we?" Jiang Shengyu didn't answer directly but returned the question.
The God of Destruction hadn't expected him to counter like that. He snorted and said, "In theory, I should believe Tang San. After all, he's the enforcer of the God Realm and my colleague."
"So that's only in theory," Jiang Shengyu spread his hands. "If you truly believed him, you wouldn't have come to meet us, right?"
"Mmh. Speaking with smart people is pleasant."
The God of Destruction nodded. "It's true I don't trust Tang San. That's why I came to find you while he was busy resurrecting that monkey. But that doesn't mean I trust you either. The power of destiny on you two wasn't forcibly stolen, and this world has indeed acknowledged you—that much I can see. But if you want to contend with Tang San, you're still far from enough…"
"And in the God Realm, you can't contend with him either, right? He puts on such a flawless, righteous façade—so pure, so noble." Jiang Shengyu smiled as he spoke, countering once again.
The God of Destruction fell silent. Only after a long moment did he ask, "How do you know so much about the God Realm? Did you… come from there to Douluo?"
Jiang Shengyu shook his head.
Jiang Qingtong then said, "So, the reason you approached us must be because you want to borrow our strength to oppose Tang San, so that you can accomplish your goal of expanding the God Realm and increasing the number of divine seats, right?"
Hearing this, the God of Destruction sighed. "I take back what I said earlier. Talking with overly smart people is no fun."
"Let's cooperate, God of Destruction!"
Jiang Shengyu smiled at him. "You want the God Realm to grow stronger. You want Tang San to stop hindering you. Our goal is similar—we just want Tang San dead."
