Tang San instantly regained his composure. The killing intent of the Asura Sword that had been slashing toward Sea Dragon Emperor was immediately deflected, narrowly missing a fatal blow.
After distancing himself from Sea Dragon, Tang San reflected inwardly:
"Xiao Wu is right. To unite the God Realms and break through the cosmic black hole, everyone must work together. We absolutely cannot form mortal enmity."
On the Douluo side, dangers were likely everywhere by now.
His divine sense clone had lost contact; his son Tang Wulin's life or death was uncertain.The three divine king–level inheritance seeds had fallen into Di Tian's hands.
Now that Di Tian had achieved the Dragon God realm and wielded numerous super divine weapons, he was a peerless enemy—definitely not someone a single divine king could contend with alone.
Currently, with Xiao Wu entering a state of "dissolution," using Di Tian's creation-powered divine blood to replace hers seemed like a promising method to reverse that condition.
And to defeat Di Tian, he would have to borrow power from the six divine kings present—along with the six God Realms they represented.
Immediately, Tang San signaled Ji Dong and Lie Yan to unleash their full power.
They had to win this battle first—to seize control of the future God Alliance's leadership.
Only with the initiative in hand could they plan the long game.
Receiving Tang San's directive, Ji Dong and Lie Yan clenched their teeth and exploded with one last surge of strength.
In the crisis of their earlier fight, fueled by love, they had awakened a fusion skill at the divine king level—A skill far stronger than those of ordinary divine kings and capable of instantaneous release.
The only downside was its immense energy consumption. To use it a second time now, they had to squeeze out every last drop of potential.
Unlike the original timeline—where Tang San still had hidden cards and had let them exit early—this time, he had no such luxury. The two newly ascended divine kings had to go all in.
Love!
Ji Dong and Lie Yan embraced, their evil and benevolent divine powers merging.
The fusion of these two divine king–level energies was overwhelmingly powerful.
Even without super divine weapons or inherited god-king teachings, the two—arguably the weakest divine kings present—still managed to bring Tang San's side a decisive edge thanks to their devastating combined attack.
After a bout of intense battle, the Douluo God Realm—originally expected to be at a disadvantage—had instead gained significant momentum.
Outside the battlefield:
In the airspace where the Douluo gods had gathered, surrounded discreetly by other divine beings, the seven primary elemental gods and the secondary god Butterfly Goddess Tang Wutong were all mentally fatigued and had depleted their divine power.
In fact, Tang Wutong—being the weaker one—had the ends of her pink hair fade into a silvery-white hue.
To step into a battlefield where divine kings fought, they had to give it their all.
After all, they weren't like Zhou Weiqing or Rong Nianbing—who could create super divine weapons even as first-rank gods.
During this rare halftime break, both sides' deities were doing their utmost to recover, in preparation for an even fiercer final clash.
But those entering this halftime phase weren't just them—
In the universe where the original Douluo God Realm once resided—now the new God Realm's location—Di Tian too entered a period of rest and recuperation—more precisely, a stage of nurturing and restoration.
The Dragon Valley pocket dimension, once part of the Douluo Plane, had been moved by him into the new God Realm.
He didn't bother building a cave mansion. Instead, he shattered the small world created from the Dragon God's soul and used it to house the dragon clan's burial ground atop the new God Realm's tallest peak.
Enshrouded in mist and exuding spiritual energy, it was a place as beautiful as a celestial paradise.
With dragon qi billowing and natural energy flowing freely, it created an environment of divine craftsmanship and rebirth.
Perhaps, in some distant future, the dragon race might truly be reborn here.
After settling the dragon graveyard, Di Tian descended from the God Realm's highest peak.
Since living quality in any part of the new God Realm was great, he simply chose to settle at the mountain's base.
During his downtime, he attempted to further his cultivation to a higher level.
But upon reaching the Dragon God realm, Di Tian realized—no matter how he cultivated—he could not make the slightest progress.
It was like a tiny creature gazing out at the boundless cosmos, unable to find direction or even tell if it was moving forward at all.
Fortunately, he had mentally prepared for this. Advancing another step forward wasn't going to be easy.
So, he didn't stubbornly fixate on personal breakthroughs anymore.
"A tree that won't bend dies, a person who moves thrives. No need to hang myself from a single tree."
As the master of the new God Realm, developing the realm and himself amounted to the same thing.
If one day the new God Realm could be promoted to a God Star, then as its master, Di Tian would naturally rise further.
To enhance the new God Realm's overall strength, and to prepare to conquer the former Evil and Good God Kings, building up power was a must.
He didn't choose to strike at them immediately—after all, those two had disappeared into the lower realm for over ten thousand years, lost in romance.
He couldn't judge whether they'd suddenly activate some kind of love power, or awaken fusion divine soul techniques, elevating them to a level equal to his.
After all, they had once ruled the Douluo God Realm, far above Destruction and Life God Kings in power, until Tang San gained control over both divine thrones.
So, Di Tian decided to accumulate power during the new God Realm's explosive growth.
Once things matured, he would travel to the Yin-Yang Crown Plane, and remove these two thorns once and for all.
During the explosive development phase of the new God Realm, there were three primary ways to improve overall strength:
Newly ascended gods would form a Divine Punishment Array using the new God Realm's energy core—Just like the Douluo God Realm's three divine punishment arrays, they could unleash divine king–level power.
Develop Soul Tool Technology, a field with vast potential for the future.
Rely on Di Tian's Dragon God bloodline—if it could be propagated, the superior environment provided by the dragon graveyard's lingering dragon qi would allow the offspring to grow into powerful divine dragons.
It's true that divine dragons were hard to reproduce.But once born and grown to maturity, each would be a god-level being.
Production may be low, but the quality was top-tier.
The energy core of the new God Realm was directly controlled by Di Tian.
Thus, the formation of Divine Punishment Arrays had to be handled by him personally.
Rather than imitating the Douluo God Realm's multiple smaller arrays,he concentrated all effort into constructing a single evolving, layered Divine Punishment Array.
Following the natural array principle of "from one comes two, from two comes three, and from three comes all things,"he created an array capable of accommodating a large number of divine beings.
With enough gods and the right cooperation, it could rival even the strongest complete divine king.
As Di Tian set things into motion, the new God Realm underwent tremendous change.
The floating continent–like realm trembled, and countless array runes emerged from the ground.
More than a hundred newly ascended deities from lower realms sensed the change immediately and released their divine senses to investigate.
