At the very moment Liu Yuan commanded Mega Rayquaza to force Ye Xishui back head-on…
Not only did the situation in the mortal world undergo a drastic reversal, but the immense energy fluctuation—powerful enough to distort rules themselves—also directly alarmed the God Realm.
Within the God King Hall of the God Realm Committee.
Tang San sat upright upon the central throne, faint purple light flowing within his deep, unfathomable eyes.
A portion of his divine consciousness had always been projected onto the Douluo Continent.
At this moment, everything within the Qiankun Love Probing Valley was proceeding exactly as he had planned.
After enduring repeated trials of emotion and will, Huo Yuhao had finally bowed his head under the God King's pressure and subtle manipulation.
Tang San gazed at the trembling, gradually yielding Huo Yuhao within the valley. A satisfied curve formed at the corner of his lips.
"The gears of fate," Tang San murmured softly, his voice brimming with absolute confidence, "will ultimately turn under my control."
However, just as he was about to further refine his "taming" of Huo Yuhao, a strange tremor erupted from the direction of the Sun Moon Empire, forcibly severing part of his perception of the Qiankun Love Probing Valley.
Tang San's expression froze.
It felt as though an enormous, immovable boulder had suddenly appeared upon an otherwise smooth chessboard.
He immediately mobilized his divine consciousness, shifting his gaze toward the skies above the Sun Moon Imperial Palace.
Passing through layers of void and dimensional barriers, he clearly saw an emerald-green giant dragon piercing the clouds, its body wrapped in dark-red lightning, its size utterly irrational.
Even as a God King, the instant Tang San saw Mega Rayquaza, a shock he had never experienced before surfaced in his eyes.
"What… is that?" Tang San rose abruptly to his feet, staring intently at the scene in the Lower Realm.
"This is neither the power of the Dragon God, nor any Divine Beast I am aware of. This expansion of form and qualitative leap in energy completely deviates from the common sense of the Spirit system. Even if a deity descended, it would be impossible to forcibly manifest such a massive law-embodied physical entity within the mortal plane."
Tang San attempted to analyze the origin of that giant dragon using divine power, yet his heart jolted violently.
The energy carried an extremely ancient, utterly unfamiliar law. The moment his divine consciousness touched the dark-red aura, it was repelled outright by an unknown force.
His thoughts raced as his godhead operated at full speed. Just a few seconds later, Tang San's expression turned extremely ugly.
"A variable," Tang San said in a low voice, deep wariness filling his tone. "In my deductions, the future of the Douluo Continent should have revolved around Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong. Yet the trajectory of this youth named Liu Yuan is complete chaos. The power he wields has become the greatest variable interfering with the grand scheme."
His gaze gradually turned cold.
Originally, he had believed Huo Yuhao alone required his full attention. But the 'Dynamax' method Liu Yuan displayed gave him an unmistakable sense of threat—as if his own position were being challenged.
"Liu Yuan…" Tang San muttered. "It seems this person must also be placed on the highest-priority watch list. I absolutely cannot allow him to disrupt the layout I have maintained for ten thousand years."

Meanwhile, within the shattered bedchamber of the Sun Moon Imperial Palace.
As the Limit Douluo retreated, the suffocating pressure that could crush even a Titled Douluo dissipated completely.
Liu Yuan withdrew his Spirit, while the Snow Empress also sheathed her emperor sword, standing silently behind him. Her ice-blue eyes swept coldly across the surroundings, ensuring that no hidden threats remained.
Liu Yuan turned and strode toward the dragon bed.
"Your Majesty, how is your condition?" His voice was calm, without the slightest ripple.
The atmosphere within the bedchamber had subtly changed.
Before, the Sun Moon Emperor and Ye Yulin had looked upon Liu Yuan as an unparalleled genius with limitless potential—someone to be appreciated and nurtured, an elder guiding a junior.
But now, that gaze had completely transformed into one of respect, tinged with unmistakable awe.
Supported by an attendant, Ye Yulin forced his battered body upright. He bowed slightly toward Liu Yuan, his tone devoid of any former casualness.
"Thank you, Duke Liu Yuan, for saving our lives. Had you not seen through the treacherous plot and intervened personally, I fear no one in this hall would still be alive."
Several surviving Titled Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire also bowed in unison.
They had witnessed with their own eyes Liu Yuan suppress and batter a Level 99 Limit Douluo. In the world of Spirit Masters, strength commanded absolute respect.
With the Snow Empress capable of restraining Long Xiaoyao and Liu Yuan himself possessing that terrifying 'Dynamax' power rivaling the peak, he was no longer viewed as a junior—but as a supreme powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the continent, someone capable of challenging an entire sect alone.
Before such an existence, even imperial consecrators dared not show the slightest disrespect.
The Sun Moon Emperor leaned against his pillows, gazing at Liu Yuan with eyes filled with complex emotion and lingering fear. He reached out with a trembling hand, as if wanting to grasp Liu Yuan's arm, but hesitated and ultimately only nodded heavily.
"Liu Yuan… I truly did not misjudge you. This land—you have saved it for me."
His voice was hoarse. His originally pale face now twisted with anger and relief.
He had not forgotten that Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao had been able to storm in earlier solely because the internal defenses had collapsed.
Liu Yuan nodded, his expression stern.
He turned his gaze toward the entrance of the bedchamber.
With the battle concluded, the Imperial Guards who had been transferred away by Xu Tianran were now rushing back in fear and confusion. Yet among them, the presence of the Crown Prince's private soldiers remained glaringly obvious.
"Your Majesty," Liu Yuan said calmly, his gaze piercing toward the palace's outer perimeter, "now that the external enemies have retreated, it is time to settle accounts with the internal traitors."
"To seize the throne, Xu Tianran colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult, released Xuan Zi to lure away powerful protectors, and even attempted to murder his own father. This is no longer a family matter, but a grave crime that shakes the very foundation of the nation."
At the mention of "Xu Tianran," the Sun Moon Emperor's expression instantly darkened.
Overcome by fury, he coughed violently, specks of blood staining his lips. Pushing away the Imperial Physician who rushed forward, he clenched the armrest of the dragon bed.
"Indeed!" the Emperor roared hoarsely. "That rebellious son! I never treated him poorly, yet he dared invite wolves into the house and commit patricide to usurp the throne! He must be utterly eliminated!"
He looked at Liu Yuan, his eyes filled with fatalistic resolve and absolute trust.
"Duke Liu Yuan, relay my Imperial Edict. Immediately seal off the Crown Prince's Mansion. Anyone who resists—regardless of status—shall be executed on the spot! I will personally strip him of everything, before his very eyes!"
Liu Yuan nodded without expression.
He knew that the moment Dynamax Rayquaza had risen into the skies, Xu Tianran's path to power had already come to its end.
