Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Spirit world.

As a high-level plane that has existed for countless years, the God Realm has very strong defenses.

Although the divine realm did not previously believe that outsiders would invade it, the previous war with the Dragon God and the later wars with the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King made the divine realm take precautions against the appearance of enemies.

After the gods' failed campaign against the underworld, the former evil and good god-kings, though prepared to resign, still dutifully arranged various countermeasures before officially handing over their divine positions.

Most importantly, the detection facilities will immediately issue an alert if any aura not belonging to the divine realm is detected.

Therefore, the moment the passage between the underworld and the divine realm opened and the aura of the underworld appeared, it was detected by the gods of the divine realm.

Instantly, a powerful mental shriek resounded throughout the divine realm, and all the gods in the divine realm changed their expressions drastically upon sensing this mental shriek.

They knew very well what the whistling sound meant.

"Enemy attack."

"The underworld is attacking; prepare immediately."

"Quickly, activate the energy array to lock onto the location of the underworld invasion and block the gods of the underworld."

They were gods after all, and they had done many rehearsals. Although everyone was a little panicked, they still carried out their defenses according to the established plan.

"God...where are the two God-Kings? To fully mobilize the power of the central divine realm, we need the authority of the God-Kings."

When the many gods in the divine realm and the God of Destruction first met Ji Dong and Lie Yan, they all thought that they were left behind by the former evil god and good god who had run away to take the blame. Therefore, they did not trust Ji Dong and Lie Yan and were even full of suspicion.

But when the divine realm is truly in peril, the authority of the God-King is indispensable.

"The two newly appointed God-Kings have descended to the mortal realm to investigate the matter of the God-King of Destruction. After receiving the message from the God Realm, they should return to the God Realm immediately."

"The God of Destruction... Sigh, if only the God of Destruction could regain his sanity and return to the divine realm to take charge of the situation."

The God of Destruction still holds great prestige among the gods of the divine realm, especially those who went down to the mortal world with him to conquer the underworld. The other two groups of gods have all disappeared without a trace, and their fate must have been very bad.

Although they returned empty-handed, at least they all survived without even being injured.

Although the God of Destruction was furious and pained by this, for the gods who followed him to the lower realm, it was the best possible outcome; at least they were not trapped in the underworld like the other gods.

But it's too late to say all this now. No one can change the God of Destruction's mind, not even the other God-Kings.

"The coordinates of the invasion of the divine realm by the underworld have been determined, and the divine barrier has been mobilized to block it, but the rate at which the divine clouds are mobilized is very low."

Just as some deities were about to urge Ji Dong and Lie Yan to return again, another deity shouted:
"The two God-Kings have returned."

"It's good that you're back. This is the realm of gods, our home ground. As long as the God King is here, we will definitely not be able to be invaded by the underworld."

The divine realm has stood for countless years, possessing profound foundations. They are confident that they can withstand the invasion of all external enemies with their defenses alone.

Even if they can't win, they can just shrink back like turtles, and the shell of the divine barrier will definitely protect them from the enemy's attack, at least ensuring their safety.

As soon as Ji Dong and Lie Yan returned to the God Realm, they were greeted with cheers from the gods.

But Ji Dong was not pleased by this; on the contrary, he felt a little bitter.

He knew that the gods welcomed him and Lieyan simply because the divine realm was facing a powerful crisis and needed them to stand in front as shields.

Even knowing all this, Ji Dong and Lie Yan could only fulfill their duties, since they had accepted this divine inheritance.
"Don't panic. Trust in the defenses of the divine realm. We'll go and investigate the enemy's location."

Ji Dong's calm and composed demeanor impressed many gods unfamiliar with him and Lie Yan. It seemed that these two newly appointed gods of evil and good were not entirely incompetent; at least they had some courage and weren't easily intimidated by the mere mention of an enemy.

"Your Majesty, you two should go to the central hub of the God Realm as soon as possible and activate all the defenses of the God Realm."

"That's right, I'll go right now."

Ji Dong and Lie Yan had only been in the God Realm for a short time, and they were not autocratic and unwilling to listen to advice. Instead, they immediately went to the central hub of the God Realm.

The five former god-kings have all disappeared, and the central hub of the divine realm has welcomed two unfamiliar masters.

Upon arriving at the central location of the divine realm, Ji Dong and Lie Yan immediately used their divine king authority to activate all the defenses they had laid out.

The energy within the divine realm is far superior to soul power, and is extremely dense and pure. With the manipulation of the divine realm's central hub, layers of divine power clouds surged and rushed towards the place where the underworld had invaded.

In an instant, the divine light shone brightly, and the intensity of the divine power cloud surprised both Ji Dong and Lie Yan.

Both of them were witnessing the full operation of the divine realm's central hub for the first time, and they felt inexplicably at ease.

They imagined that the divine realm under such a state would be absolutely stable, and any invasion by an enemy would be blocked by the powerful defenses and be left helpless.

At least Ji Dong felt that even if he and Lie Yan joined forces, they would absolutely not be able to break through the God Realm's defenses in this state.

"Phew, thankfully the God King returned in time."

"Yes, with the central hub of the divine realm operating at full capacity, the divine realm will be incredibly stable."

With their defenses fully activated, the other gods also breathed a sigh of relief, even more so than Ji Dong and Lie Yan.

"Your Majesty, have you found the God of Destruction? The God Realm is in dire straits. If we could add the power of the God of Destruction, the God Realm would be much more stable."

Ji shook her head.

“We met the God of Destruction, but he has no attachment to the realm of gods. We wanted him to come back, but he remained unmoved and even attacked us.”

"This……"

The God of Destruction has always been very law-abiding and is the maintainer of the rules of the divine realm. Other gods find it hard to imagine that the God of Destruction would become like this.

However, since even the gods of evil and good can abandon their duties, it's not surprising that the god of destruction would do the same.

“We can talk about other things later. Let’s go check where the enemy has invaded. We can’t just keep hiding and not even dare to look at who the enemy is or how many there are.”

“What the God-King says is true.”

With Ji Dong and Lie Yan, two novice God Kings, around, it's better than having others take on the main responsibility.

……

"This is the God Realm? It's far more powerful than the Abyss Realm."

Qian Renxue breathed in the rich divine power mist of the God Realm and felt a surge of comfort, far surpassing the violent and destructive aura of the Abyss Plane.

"That's why they say this is the realm of gods."

Ning Qiuyang looked at the densely packed divine power barriers and the various defenses composed of the power of rules, and said softly. (End of this chapter)
