Douluo Continent, an unknown dark wilderness.
The wind howled, and the rain poured.
A ragged figure with a severed arm curled up in a deserted tree hollow like a stray dog, shivering.
That was Tang San.
At this moment, his Clear Sky Hammer was shattered, his Blue Silver Emperor was ruined, and his Eight Spider Lances had been brutally torn out.
"Lin Yuan... Canglan Academy..."
Tang San gripped the muddy ground tightly, his clouded eyes filled with resentment and confusion: "Why? I clearly brought the secret techniques of the Tang Sect with me. This World should have been my stage! Why did it turn out like this?!"
He was unwilling to accept it.
"I have twin spirits; I am the chosen one destined by fate!"
"Destined by fate?"
Just then, a cold and indifferent voice, seemingly devoid of any emotional fluctuation, boomed without warning in the rainy night.
The surrounding space suddenly froze.
Raindrops throughout the sky suspended in mid-air, and the sound of the wind ceased.
An indescribable, terrifying killing intent completely sealed off the World for a hundred miles around.
Tang San's entire body went stiff, and a violent tremor surged from the depths of his soul. He struggled to lift his head and look at the void ahead.
There, a blood-colored phantom a hundred zhang tall slowly condensed.
He wore dark red demonic-patterned armor and held a giant sword emanating endless chill. His eyes were like two seas of blood, looking down at Tang San from above.
As if looking at an insignificant ant.
"A... Asura God?!"
The appearances of the various gods had appeared on the previous Divinity Power Rankings, so Tang San recognized the Asura God.
Tang San was stunned at first, but then a light of wild joy erupted in his eyes.
"Lord Asura God, I beg you to save me! I beg you to grant me power!"
"That Lin Yuan is an anomaly! He destroyed the balance of the continent! As long as you help me, I will surely be able to kill him and restore the majesty of the God Realm for you!"
However...
Faced with Tang San's groveling, the blood-colored phantom—the Original Asura God—had only deep mockery and indifference on his face.
"Save you?"
The Asura God's voice was like rolling thunder, shaking Tang San until he bled from his seven orifices: "Tang San, do you really think your appearance in this World was a coincidence?"
Tang San snapped his head up, his face full of bewilderment: "What... what do you mean?"
The Asura God looked at him coldly and slowly spoke the truth that made Tang San feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar:
"Years ago, in order to find an 'anomaly' who could inherit my God Position and was not bound by the rules of the Douluo Plane, I used a great divine ability to summon a lonely soul from another World."
"That lonely soul was you."
"The rebirth you are so proud of was merely an arrangement of mine."
Boom!
These words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Tang San's skull fiercely.
Tang San was completely dumbfounded.
He had always thought he was the unique protagonist, the chosen one.
As it turned out... he was just a pawn in someone else's hand?
"Originally, you were a fairly useful pawn."
The Asura God's tone was indifferent, as if he were evaluating a defective product: "But you have disappointed me too much. You are too weak!"
"More importantly..."
The Asura God cast his gaze toward the distant Canglan Academy, a flash of deep wariness crossing his eyes:
"The current Douluo Plane already has a new master, Lin Yuan."
"He is already the Supreme God King; even I must avoid his edge."
"And you, as a pawn I once placed, have now not only become trash but have also become a 'hidden danger' that might provoke Lin Yuan."
"If Lin Yuan were to find out that it was an ant like you who drew my attention, thus creating hostility toward the God Realm, it would be a huge problem."
Having said this, the Asura God slowly raised the Asura Demon Sword in his hand.
"Therefore, for the peace of the God Realm and to eliminate this karma..."
"Tang San, it is time for you to disappear."
Tang San's pupils shrank, and a chill of death instantly enveloped his entire body.
"No! You can't kill me! I am the one you chose! I am your successor!"
Tang San screamed hysterically, but before the Original Asura God, his struggles were like a joke.
"Judgment."
The Asura God softly uttered two words.
A red beam of light instantly pierced the center of Tang San's forehead.
Tang San's movements froze at the moment he was reaching for a hidden weapon.
His body began to disintegrate, turning into countless spots of light.
"So... my whole life... was just a joke..."
This was the last thought Tang San left in the World.
He hadn't known that the Asura God was the one who brought him here until this moment before his death.
With endless absurdity and despair, Tang San completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
Even his soul was thoroughly erased by Asura God Power, never to be reborn for all eternity.
Having dealt with all this, the phantom of the Asura God took a deep look in the direction of Canglan Academy before turning into a shower of blood and dissipating.
"Lin Yuan... this token of allegiance, I have delivered it."
...After Tang San's death, the Douluo Continent ushered in a true golden age.
Lin Yuan unified the God Realm and the mortal realm, establishing a new order.
As Lin Yuan's disciple and wife, Xiao Wu did not slack off because of Lin Yuan's favor.
On the contrary, in order to accompany the Supreme God King for longer and to be worthy of bearing Lin Yuan's children, she began a mode of frantic cultivation.
Time flowed on.
Today, five years had passed since Tang San's fall.
She had finally inherited the God Position of the God of Space.
A First-Rank Elemental God!
Time after becoming a god always passed quickly.
Under the unremitting 'efforts' of Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu, three years later, good news finally came from Xiao Wu.
Conception for gods was already difficult, let alone the union of a Supreme God King and a First-Rank God.
On this day, in the God Realm, within the Space Divine Hall.
"Ah—!!"
A cry of pain broke the tranquility of the God Realm.
Outside the temple, Lin Yuan, the Supreme God King who suppressed the heavens, was currently pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot griddle.
"Why hasn't the baby been born yet? It's been three hours since she went in!"
Lin Yuan's palms were covered in sweat.
Ye Lingling said, "Husband, do not be anxious! The child's bloodline is too strong! She is born with Human Emperor Purple Qi and Space God Power; Xiao Wu is working hard to guide it!"
"Dammit!"
He took a deep breath and shouted toward the inside of the temple, "Xiao Wu! Don't be afraid! I'm here!"
"By my word, let mother and daughter be safe! Let the divine force flow smoothly!"
As Lin Yuan invoked his supreme authority, the originally violent laws of heaven and earth instantly became incomparably docile.
Inside the temple, Xiao Wu felt a warm current surge through her body, and the originally tearing pain was instantly relieved.
She grit her teeth and burst forth with her final strength.
"Waa—!!!"
A crisp, loud cry, seemingly containing endless vitality, finally echoed throughout the entire God Realm!
"She's born! She's born!"
"It's a little princess!"
Ye Lingling walked out with a joyful face, holding a swaddled infant.
Lin Yuan rushed over with a Teleportation and took the child with trembling hands.
In the swaddle, a beautiful baby girl was looking at him with wide eyes.
She had features as exquisite as Xiao Wu's, and her skin was as white as snow.
Most miraculously, her left wrist was born with a circle of silver Space Divine Runes, while her right palm held a tiny cluster of purple mist.
At the center of her forehead, there was even a faint golden sword-shaped mark.
A natural-born deity!
"Giggle, giggle..."
Seeing Lin Yuan, the little one wasn't afraid at all; instead, she reached out her tiny hand, grabbed Lin Yuan's finger, and let out a bell-like laugh.
At that moment, Lin Yuan's heart felt like it was melting.
He felt as if he possessed the whole World.
At this time, a weak Xiao Wu came out, supported by Ning Rongrong and the others.
"Husband... let me see..."
Lin Yuan hurriedly leaned over with the child.
Xiao Wu kissed her daughter's little face, her eyes shining with the light of maternal love:
"Husband, give her a name."
Lin Yuan looked at the little treasure in his arms, then at the purple qi and auspicious signs filling the sky, and said solemnly:
"She was born in the God Realm, carrying the love and hope of you and me."
"May she be as warm as the dawn and as brilliant as the stars. Let's call her Lin Xi."
