Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

"cut!"

Suddenly, the Chi You Battle Axe in Ye Qi'an's hand shone brightly, transforming into a stunning rainbow that, with a powerful aura capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, fiercely slashed towards the pale blue protective shield.

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, as if the entire universe trembled at the sound. Where the light touched the shield, an extremely dazzling light burst forth, just like a brand new sun being born brilliantly at the edge of the divine realm.

The seemingly indestructible protective shield rippled under Ye Qi'an's all-out attack, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web. Then, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, the protective shield turned into countless shimmering fragments of light and dissipated into the endless void.

"Hmph, nothing special!" Ye Qi'an snorted coldly, but there was no sign of relaxation in his eyes.

The moment the protective shield shattered, all the gods of the Douluo God Realm looked up and saw Ye Qi'an and the others appear at the edge of the God Realm like divine soldiers descending from the sky, exuding a powerful and incomparably sharp aura.

The next moment, five streaks of light rapidly approached from different directions, followed closely by a group of first- and second-level deities, as well as numerous divine officials and heavenly hunters.

"Hehe, everyone's here, very good. It saves me the trouble of finding you all one by one. Tang San, are you surprised to see us all? It's a pity your plan has completely failed, and the two lackeys you planted in Douluo Continent, as well as your parents, have all been eliminated by me." Ye Qi'an's lips curled into a cold smile.

Tang San's eyes instantly filled with rage, and the power of the Asura God and the Sea God surged wildly around him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Golden Dragon King, it was you! You ruined my plan! How dare you be so arrogant! Today is your end!"

"Oh dear, you're already this angry? Don't worry, your opponent isn't me, but them, your old rivals."

Ye Qi'an stepped aside, and saw two female figures slowly emerge from behind him, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. They exuded powerful auras, and the moment they saw Tang San, their intense killing intent was almost tangible.

"Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, weren't you already..." Tang San was stunned when he saw the two of them.

"Tang San, do you think we'll just disappear so easily?" Bibi Dong coldly interrupted Tang San, her eyes filled with resentment and ruthlessness. "You destroyed everything I had, making all my efforts go to waste. How could I let this go?"

Qian Renxue frowned slightly and said coldly, "Tang San, although you won that battle back then, it was an indelible humiliation for me. Today, I will wash away this humiliation and personally kill you here."

Tang San clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms, blood seeping out but he didn't notice, as he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Yes, logically speaking, they should have died long ago, but I have extraordinary strength and I was able to travel through the river of time to bring them back to life."

Ye Qi'an's words shocked Tang San. The River of Time was an extremely mysterious and dangerous place. To be able to enter it and change predetermined events, the power of the Golden Dragon King was beyond imagination.

The next second, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue made their move, unleashing their God-King level cultivation in an instant, directly threatening Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils.

Moreover, Ye Xiyao, who became the God of Destiny, along with the Nine Dragon Kings and Di Tian and other ferocious beasts, all sought out their respective opponents. In an instant, the Seven Elemental Gods, the Seven Original Sin Gods, the God of Destruction, and the God of Emotions faced their respective enemies.

The only remaining gods who haven't made a move are the other four god-kings of the divine realm: Destruction, Life, Goodness, and Evil. They are currently keeping a close eye on Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena beside him, as they believe these two are the most dangerous.

"Na'er, let's get started," Ye Qi'an said with a slight smile.

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, her body radiating a golden aura, and a powerful aura spread out. The supreme artifact, the Dragon God's Abyss Splitting Halberd, appeared in her hand, pointing directly at the two god-kings of good and evil.

"Supreme God-King, you actually inherited the Dragon God's divine position!" The God of Kindness exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with shock and solemnity.

The God of Evil also tensed up, his previously relaxed aura instantly tightening.

Gu Yuena remained expressionless, and with a gentle swing of her Dragon God Rift Halberd, black spatial rifts quietly spread out from the tip of the halberd.

"Today marks the moment when the order of the divine realm is reshaped."

Gu Yuena remained expressionless, and with a gentle swing of her Dragon God Abyss Splitting Halberd, black spatial rifts silently spread from the tip of the halberd. The rifts seemed to possess a life of their own, rapidly expanding and splitting the entire battlefield in two.

On one side was the fierce battle between Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Tang San, and the Shrek Seven Devils. The power of the God-King level clashed with each other, causing the space to distort and deform. Brilliant skill lights intertwined and flashed, and energy aftershocks occasionally escaped, but were mercilessly swallowed by the spatial rifts, unable to affect the other side.

On the other side, the battle between the Goddess of Destiny Ye Xiyao, the Nine Dragon Kings, and Di Tian and other ferocious beasts against the Seven Elemental Gods, the Seven Original Sin Gods, the God of Destruction, and the God of Emotions also reached a stalemate. Various divine elements intertwined and clashed, sometimes transforming into raging flames, sometimes stirring up monstrous waves, and sometimes forming an indestructible shield.

With a gentle wave, Gu Yuena made their battlefield self-contained, restricting the release of energy to this area. After doing all this, Gu Yuena flashed and flew towards the location of the two great god-kings, Good and Evil.

Just as the God King of Destruction and the God King of Life were about to make their move, Gu Yuena arrived before the two God Kings of Goodness and Evil, and simultaneously took them to a great distance away.

Although the God of Kindness and the God of Evil were forcibly taken away by Gu Yuena, they did not panic. The God of Kindness launched the first attack, tapping his staff lightly, and strands of flame wrapped around Gu Yuena like silk threads. Wherever these flames went, the space was purified and made clear and transparent.

Gu Yuena remained unmoved. The Dragon God Splitting Abyss Halberd spun rapidly in front of her, forming a golden barrier. The flames that touched the barrier melted away like snowflakes meeting fire.

Seeing this, the God of Evil approached like a ghost, his hands waving, dark energy gathering in his palms like ink. He then slammed out two palms, and black energy rushed towards Gu Yuena like two roaring demonic dragons.

Gu Yuena let out a soft shout, and a golden aura surged out from her body, colliding violently with the black energy. In an instant, a bright light flashed, and a deafening roar echoed throughout this divine realm.

"Guess how long they can hold out?" Ye Qi'an asked, looking at the two god-kings, Destruction and Life.

The God of Destruction frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "Although the Supreme God King is strong, his goodness and evil are by no means ordinary. The outcome of this battle is hard to predict, so don't make any premature judgments."

"If the two God-Kings of Good and Evil had possessed the ultimate artifacts back then, I might have been wary. However, they are merely the inheritors of the first two God-Kings, and they don't even possess the artifacts. You all have witnessed the power of the Dragon God. They alone are not enough," Ye Qi'an said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing Ye Qi'an's words, the Goddess of Life's expression turned grave. She looked at the Goddess of Destruction and said softly, "What he said is not without reason. The current situation is indeed unfavorable to us, and we need to come up with a solution."

The God of Destruction gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we must first join forces to support the good and the evil. We absolutely cannot let them be defeated, otherwise the God Realm will truly be changed." After saying that, a strong destructive power surged around the God of Destruction, a power that seemed capable of crushing everything. It transformed into a black stream of light and flew swiftly towards the battlefield between Gu Yuena and the Gods of Good and Evil.

The Goddess of Life followed closely behind, radiating a gentle light of life. Wherever she passed, the spaces damaged in the great battle showed signs of repair.

"I didn't say you could leave." Ye Qi'an's cold voice rang out. He flashed and instantly blocked the path of the God of Destruction and the God of Life. He held the Chi You Battle Axe horizontally in his hand, the axe body flashing with light and faintly exuding a domineering pressure, blocking their way to provide support.

The God of Destruction glared angrily and roared, "Golden Dragon King, don't go too far! Do you really think you can control everything? Even if it costs us our lives, we will not let you run rampant and disrupt the order of the divine realm."

Ye Qi'an sneered, "Hmph, the order of the divine realm? Out with the old, in with the new. Your so-called order is already rotten to the core. Now that I'm here, I have no intention of letting you continue to maintain it."

The God-King of Life frowned and advised, "Acting in this way will only plunge the divine realm into endless war and chaos."

"There are rules in the God Realm that gods cannot interfere in the affairs of any continent. However, the Sea God Tang San has interfered in the affairs of Douluo Continent more than once. His daughter descended to the mortal realm, and his parents, as gods, replaced the original rulers of the plane of Douluo Continent. They even harbored inappropriate thoughts about our soul beast race. Can such an order be called order?" Ye Qi'an sneered.

The God of Destruction faced off against Ye Qi'an. He knew the Golden Dragon King before him was incredibly powerful, but he could not back down. The God of Life stood to the side, a hint of hesitation in her eyes. Although she did not want to see the divine realm descend into war, she also understood that Ye Qi'an's words were not without basis.

"I accept that because dragons have committed transgressions, soul beasts can never become gods in their lifetime. It's also due to the cultivation system that soul beasts are hunted by human soul masters for their soul rings. However, as the managers of the soul beast race, the Silver Dragon King and I cannot stand idly by and watch this happen. Of course, the God Realm is also involved. The Sea God Tang San ascended to godhood from Douluo Continent. Even if he didn't repay the world, he shouldn't have harmed it. Why did Tang San send his daughter down to the mortal realm? For the fate of Douluo Continent, to better control its development, to satisfy his own desires and ambitions. And his parents, occupying the positions of rulers of the Douluo Continent, haven't brought any life to the soul beasts; instead, they've condoned the hunting and plundering of them by humans. You tell me, is this the rule? Is this order?"

The God King of Destruction and the God King of Life were speechless after being confronted by Ye Qi'an's question, and remained silent for a moment.

"Putting everything else aside, tell me, why didn't anyone else become a god in the ten thousand years after Tang San became a god? I know the reason without you answering: the God Realm can only support too few gods, and it has never expanded. This has led to the fact that those with talent cannot become gods, while those without talent become gods and become parasites on the God Realm."

Ye Qi'an's words struck the scene like a heavy hammer, causing many deities to fall into deep thought.

"We've come here to break this unreasonable order and build a completely new divine realm. We want to ensure that all capable people have the opportunity to become gods, and that soul beasts and humans can coexist and prosper together in a fair environment." Ye Qi'an's gaze was firm as he surveyed everyone present.

The God of Destruction took a deep breath and said, "What you say makes some sense, but changing the order is by no means easy. It involves many factors, and if we fail, the entire Douluo world will collapse."

"How can you know you'll fail if you don't try? Just because you're afraid of the risks, do you want this corrupt order to continue forever? Destruction God King, I know your character. You've always wanted to expand the God Realm, but someone has been stopping you. That person is Tang San, isn't it?" Ye Qi'an said.

A barely perceptible ripple flashed in the eyes of the God of Destruction. He clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "Tang San did indeed raise objections to the expansion of the God Realm on several occasions, but he did so in order to maintain the stability of the God Realm."

"Go and deceive others. Ask yourself honestly, what exactly is Tang San's purpose in doing this?"

Ye Qi'an's questioning caused the God of Destruction to fall into a brief silence, as he himself had doubts about some of Tang San's actions.

"For the sake of soul beasts becoming gods, I dared to confront the order that created the God Realm, dared to defy the world and slaughter ninety percent of humanity on the Douluo Continent, dared to sacrifice the wicked to draw in the Abyss and the Crimson Plane, ultimately destroying and devouring them, thus elevating my God Realm to a demigod star. This also taught me a lesson: only by breaking free from those unreasonable constraints can we usher in true rebirth and strength. But Tang San, he clings to that outdated order, merely wanting humanity to forever dominate, ensuring soul beasts never have a chance to rise again, so that he and those he cares about can remain high above, enjoying so-called honor and power." Ye Qi'an's words were sharp, his eyes filled with resentment towards this injustice.

The God of Destruction frowned deeply. Although he was unwilling to admit it, Ye Qi'an's words were like thorns in his back, making his doubts grow stronger. The God of Life bit her lip beside him. She also knew that Tang San's actions might be driven by selfish motives, but given the current situation, how easy was it to change it?

Seeing that his goal had been achieved and that the God King of Destruction and the God King of Life had wavered, Ye Qi'an continued, "When I broke through to the Supreme God King level, I ventured into the River of Time and saw the future of everyone, including the two of you."

Upon hearing this, both the God of Destruction and the God of Life showed surprise, their eyes fixed on Ye Qi'an, awaiting his next words.

"Facts speak louder than words. No amount of explanation can withstand the test of facts. After you have read this, you can decide whether you want to be our enemy."

As Ye Qi'an spoke, he raised his hand and touched the space between his eyebrows. Two beams of light shot out from his fingertips and entered the spaces between the eyebrows of the God of Destruction and the God of Life. In an instant, their eyes became empty, as if their souls had been extracted and they were placed in a strange space-time scene.
