Chapter 296 The Tournament Starts Ahead of Schedule
"But we must be extra cautious in all our actions. It is better to be a step behind than to give Lu Xiao any opportunity to take advantage of us. We must not let the God Realm fall into an abyss of no return."
The God-King of Life nodded!
She also understood the seriousness of the matter; the more people who knew, the greater the possibility of unrest.
The two conducted a final inspection of the seal on the forbidden land, and only after confirming that everything was in order did they turn and leave.
The two beams of divine light quickly disappeared into the void of the divine realm.
...
And just as the auras of the God of Destruction and the God of Life completely left the Forbidden Land of Gods!
Deep within that shattered space, sealed by layers of seals, a ten-thousand-foot-tall golden dragon coiled in the chaos suddenly opened its pair of blood-red dragon eyes!
The Golden Dragon King's enormous body instantly began to surge and churn violently, its scales opening and closing, unleashing an extremely terrifying dragon god power.
The seals set up by the five great god-kings around them trembled slightly as a result, and the runes flickered.
"Um?"
The Golden Dragon King let out a low groan.
The enormous dragon head turned slightly, sensing the direction in which the two god-kings outside had departed, a hint of doubt and suspicion flashing in its eyes.
"strangeness..."
"In the past hundred years, these god-kings might not have come to the forbidden land of gods to check the seal."
"But recently, the five great god-kings have come one after another, each time with a solemn expression. What exactly has happened?"
The Golden Dragon King had been imprisoned here for countless years and was extremely sensitive to the actions of the gods in the divine realm.
This unusual behavior instantly gave him a very strange premonition.
"Could it be... that they've discovered Gu Yuena's whereabouts?"
The Golden Dragon King had a fleeting thought, but quickly shook his head, rejecting the idea.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena is proficient in spatial power and is skilled at concealing her whereabouts.
Back then, he escaped unscathed from the siege of the divine realm.
Even if the five great god-kings joined forces, they might not be able to easily find her whereabouts; the possibility of this is extremely small.
"If it's not Gu Yuena, then it must be the God Realm... Something terrible is about to happen!"
A bold idea arose in the Golden Dragon King's mind.
He could clearly sense that the atmosphere in the divine realm was becoming increasingly heavy.
A sense of impending doom enveloped the entire divine realm.
For him, this was undoubtedly the best chance to escape!
If chaos erupts in the realm of gods, the five great god-kings will be too preoccupied to care for themselves, and the seal will inevitably loosen.
At that time, he will be able to break free from the seal and tear apart the divine realm space.
Searching for the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
The two Dragon Kings merged into one, reforging the complete Dragon God!
At that time, the entire divine realm will tremble under his dragon might!
The blood feud of yesteryear will also be settled!
Thinking of this, the bloodlust in the Golden Dragon King's eyes intensified, and his massive dragon body slowly curled up.
It closed its blood-red dragon eyes once more.
He stopped moving and began to completely suppress his aura as it rushed towards him.
Secretly channeling its power, it repairs its damaged origins and accumulates every bit of strength.
Quietly awaiting the day the seal is broken.
The forbidden land of the gods has once again returned to its deathly silence.
Only those layers of seals silently tell of an impending catastrophe in the divine realm.
...
Meanwhile, in the Douluo Continent.
The golden canopy above the sky, after the end of the Fortune Ranking and the update of the Kill Ranking.
After a few short hours of silence, it began to tremble slightly again.
A thousand rays of golden light rippled like water, runes flowed, and the aura shifted.
This is clearly a sign that a brand new list is about to be released!
This extraordinary phenomenon instantly attracted the attention of the entire continent and all living beings.
...
Sun and Moon Continent.
Countless Soul Masters looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with anticipation and trepidation.
In the previous Fortune Ranking, the Douluo Continent produced numerous powerful figures, while their Sun Moon Continent had not a single person on the list.
This caused the proud and arrogant Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Continent to lose face, and at the same time, it instilled in them a deep sense of apprehension towards the Douluo Continent.
At this moment, the sky changes, and a new list will be released.
All the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Continent prayed in their hearts, hoping that a Soul Master from the Sun Moon Continent could occupy a place on this list.
Even a last-place finish would be enough to salvage some of their pride.
As for ranking high, they no longer dared to hope for it.
...
Offering Hall.
The Grand Priest Qian Daoliu stood quietly before the statue of the six-winged angel, sensing the unusual movement of the golden light in the sky.
There wasn't much curiosity in his golden eyes.
Instead, he fell into deep thought.
Previously, the Abyss God-level infiltrated Douluo Continent and was killed by Lu Xiao from a distance. This scene made Qian Daoliu completely wake up.
The peace of Douluo Continent has long been shattered.
An invasion of the Abyss is only a matter of time.
With the sudden emergence of Beidou Academy, this continent is about to witness an unprecedented and earth-shattering war!
The Spirit Hall, on the other hand, wanted to protect itself in this chaotic world.
To safeguard the foundation of the Qian family and the Spirit Hall, and prevent them from being swallowed up by the tides of time.
The only way out is to attract the best talents from all over the world and accumulate enough strength!
With this thought in mind, Qian Daoliu no longer hesitated.
A golden angelic light flashed around him, and his figure instantly disappeared from the sacrificial hall, heading straight towards the direction of the papal palace.
...
Inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong sat on the supreme papal throne, her purple eyes slightly narrowed, also watching the unusual movements in the sky.
I kept thinking about the types of new lists.
Just then, an aura that she both loathed and was intimately familiar with suddenly enveloped the entire Papal Palace.
"boom!"
A burst of golden light flashed in the space, and Qian Daoliu's figure appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall, his gaze calmly fixed on Bibi Dong on the throne.
Upon seeing that the person who had arrived was Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
The aura of the Spider King suddenly erupted from his body, his purple eyes filled with coldness and vigilance, and he questioned her sharply without any politeness.
"Qian Daoliu, why aren't you in your Angel Temple? What are you doing here in my Papal Palace?"
"Could it be that you're plotting to seize my papacy again? Let me tell you, that's impossible!"
Bibi Dong knew Qian Daoliu's thoughts all too well.
This Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall only wanted Qian Renxue to inherit the position of Pope and control the entire Spirit Hall, and he wanted to oust her from the throne at all times.
She worked tirelessly for many years to lead the Spirit Hall, developing it into the number one power on the continent.
She would never relinquish this legacy.
Despite Bibi Dong's hostility and questioning, Qian Daoliu remained unusually calm.
He showed no anger, but simply shook his head slowly.
"I am not here today for the papacy."
"Then why?"
Bibi Dong frowned, her tone remaining icy.
"For the future of the Spirit Hall."
Qian Daoliu raised his eyes, looked at Bibi Dong with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice.
"The fact that a god-level powerhouse from the Abyss Plane infiltrated the continent and nearly caused a major disaster is enough to show that a full-scale invasion from the Abyss Plane is imminent."
"The Douluo Continent is about to descend into chaos. If our Spirit Hall wants to gain a foothold in this chaotic world and even contend with the Beidou Academy, we must absorb all the genius spirit masters on the continent to strengthen our own power."
"I suggest that we start the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, which is held every five years, ahead of schedule!"
