Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 583 Finale
All of this vast and boundless divine power, with its diverse attributes, along with the primordial power of creation transformed from the thirty exploding soul rings, flowed like rivers into the sea, ultimately pouring into the seemingly ancient Haotian Hammer without reservation and with a roar.

"Om-"

The Haotian Hammer let out a mournful cry of unbearable burden, but then fell silent in the next moment. It was no longer a hammer; its weight seemed to bear the birth and death of the entire universe. The space around the hammer automatically collapsed, turning into a chaotic vortex that surrounded it.

Tang San's arms were bulging with muscles, and his skin cracked and bled from the immense power within. Yet, the will in his eyes burned like an eternally burning star. With a willpower that surpassed all limits, he slowly raised the giant hammer that contained the dual meanings of "end" and "opening."

His movements were slow, yet they stirred the very laws governing the entire divine realm. In the eyes of the gods, what Tang San raised was no longer the Clear Sky Hammer, but the legendary artifact that had separated chaos and established the order of earth, water, fire, and wind—the divine artifact of creation!
Even before the hammer fell, the meaning of "ending everything" had already arrived. All the gods, regardless of their rank, felt a sense of impending doom welling up deep within their souls, as if the end bells of the universe had already tolled.

The Asura God, who bore the brunt of the attack, felt it most clearly. He understood that he had already been defeated. But as he said, born to kill, to die to kill, this was perhaps the best end for the God of Slaughter! A hint of relief flashed in his eyes, which was then replaced by a resolute fighting spirit, as he prepared to face this final "death" with dignity.

"Buzz!"

Four beams of divine light pierced the heavens and earth, transforming into four majestic figures standing behind the God of Asura. These were none other than the Four God-Kings of Life, Destruction, Goodness, and Evil!
The Goddess of Life spoke with compassion and understanding in her eyes: "Shura, the Divine Realm Committee was jointly established by us and has been maintained to this day. What he is challenging is the rules of the Divine Realm, not just yours alone, but the rules of the old gods that we jointly established."

The God of Destruction said in a deep voice, "He is human, but he cultivates a martial spirit; he is the twilight of the gods! We are the guardians of this old rule! Whether it is the rule of becoming a god or the rule of the Dragon God, he will break it."

Although the evil and good god-kings remained silent, the contrasting yet complementary divine powers rising from their bodies revealed their stances.

In the eyes of the five God Kings, Tang San, who had not even converted his divine power and still considered himself a "Soul Master," was an unprecedented anomaly, a "person" who had come to completely overturn their world. The birth of a new world often meant the burial of the old, and they had no place in the new world.

The Asura God roared and poured all his remaining divine power into the cracked Asura God Sword in his hand.

The other four God Kings also made their move at the same time!
The green light of life brings boundless vitality and protection; the purplish-black of destruction contains ultimate devastation and annihilation; the holy white of kindness transforms into a bulwark of absolute order; and the gray of evil surges with chaos that devours everything. These four divine powers, representing the original order of the divine realm, intertwine and merge with the killing laws of the Asura God.

"Slaughter - The Creation of the Universe!"

The roar of the Asura God shook the universe. He gripped the Asura God Sword, which was already overburdened, and unleashed the primordial divine power poured in by the four God Kings behind him, along with his own bloodlust burning to the extreme, without reservation!
However, facing this devastating sword strike capable of splitting the heavens and reconstructing the laws of nature, Tang San's eyes remained utterly calm. His Clear Sky Hammer continued its unwavering descent slowly towards the Asura God.

"Haotian Hammer".

There was no sound, no light, and no explosion; everything became unobservable, and no being could observe what was happening inside.

No one, not even a god, knows who won this clash. But one thing all the gods know is that the last person to appear before them was Tang San, while the other god-kings were nowhere to be found, whether they were dead or had left the universe.

Even though Tang San appeared in the sky above the God Realm at this moment, his face was as pale as paper and his body was even swaying slightly, no one dared to challenge Tang San's authority.

The divine realm once had a divine council and five great god-kings, but now there is only one god-king!
There should only be one king.

This thought involuntarily surfaced in the minds of every deity, carrying the weight of a cold, ironclad law.

No announcement or ceremony was needed. As Tang San's gaze calmly swept over the shattered divine realm, a silent coronation was already complete.

He slowly stepped out, treading on the void. With each step, golden divine light automatically condensed beneath his feet, forming steps that extended toward the direction of what was once the Supreme Temple of the Divine Realm Council.

The gods held their breath. No one knew who was the first to lower their proud heads, but then, like a storm sweeping across the starry sea, from the lowest priests to the surviving first-level gods, regardless of which god-king they had once served, all bowed their heads and bent their backs, offering the most humble tribute of submission to that one, faltering yet resolute figure.

Tang San raised his hand, his voice not loud, yet clearly imprinted in the deepest part of the soul of every god: "From now on, the rules of the God Realm will be determined by me. Order will be reforged by me."

"I am the God-King."

The divine realm has welcomed its one and only supreme Tang God-King!
This declaration, like an invisible law, instantly spread to every corner of the realm of gods. At the same time, on the Douluo Continent, the homeland that nurtured legends, strange phenomena suddenly appeared in the sky.

It wasn't a dense cloud cover, nor was there thunder; rather, a radiant glow pierced through the clouds, painting the entire sky a magnificent gold. At the center of this golden ocean, a stairway to heaven, constructed of pure divine light and inscribed with countless profound runes, slowly descended from the boundless sky, its end seemingly connecting to an unknowable, supreme divine realm.

All living beings on the continent, whether human soul masters, ordinary people, or soul beasts lurking in the forest, couldn't help but look up, their hearts trembling with awe at this miraculous sight.

Just then, a calm yet majestic, familiar yet transcendent voice resounded clearly in the ears and hearts of every living being—a name they had heard and revered before.

Tang San!

"I, Tang San, once promised," the voice was like a divine decree, carrying an undeniable power of law, "that I shall be king, and from now on, gods will no longer be above men."

A single word can set the rules!
All the Soul Masters felt a surge of lightness in their soul power. The invisible barrier that separated mortals from gods, seemingly insurmountable, appeared to thin with just one sentence, even revealing a crack that could be climbed. This meant that the path to godhood would no longer be entirely subject to the rules, blessings, and trials of the divine realm. Humans, through their own efforts, now had the possibility of touching the divine domain!

This promise is a hope for all those who strive.

In particular, Tang Hao, Tang Chen, and other level 99 Limit Soul Masters all felt that an obstacle had disappeared, allowing them to break through their limits without needing a godhood!
Immediately afterwards, Tang San's voice rang out again, bringing a shocking announcement to the soul beast race:

"From now on, soul beasts in Douluo Continent will no longer need to undergo heavenly tribulations; they can become gods with a million years of cultivation!"

boom--!
Upon hearing this, the entire Star Dou Great Forest, the entire far north, the entire ocean, and all the areas inhabited by soul beasts were first shrouded in deathly silence, and then erupted with earth-shattering roars and howls! The sounds were filled with ecstasy, relief, and disbelief that had been suppressed for countless millennia!

Countless powerful soul beasts roared to the sky, tears welling in their eyes. They saw that the dark clouds of heavenly tribulation that had plagued and killed countless ancestors and kin were now dispelled with a single word by that figure standing atop the realm of gods!

From then on, survival was no longer an endless struggle and fear; at the end of the path of cultivation lay a clearly visible divine light! A million years of cultivation, though still a long time, was a hopeful and arduous path with a visible end!

Soul beasts can become gods!

========================
Countless years later, on the day when the Haotian Sect recruited disciples.

Without a doubt, the Haotian Sect is now the most powerful sect in the entire universe.

"Huh? Isn't this sect called Haotian Sect? Why do some people call it God King Sect?"

"This is because a God-King emerged from the Haotian Sect."
