Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 204 The Golden Dragon King Escapes, the Future of the God Realm

"Hahaha, I'm not playing with you anymore. This divine realm has inherited the legacy of my Dragon God Realm."

"Now that I've become the former master of the Dragon God Realm, it's time for me to reap some of the benefits!"

The Golden Dragon King transformed into a massive golden light and escaped from the Forbidden Land of Gods, flying directly towards the God Realm Committee, the central location of the God Realm.

Along the way, everything was shattered by the golden light transformed from the Golden Dragon King, making the already somewhat turbulent divine realm even more unstable.

Unlike the original work, where the protagonist returns to his original form and unleashes creative power by merging the two forces of destruction and life after abandoning everything, this is different.

The current God of Destruction and Goddess of Life are only thinking of repelling the enemy, so they are holding back.

Therefore, all that was used was the power of destruction and the power of life stored within the Scepter of Destruction and the Ancient Tree of Life.

But precisely because of this, the two were too preoccupied with combining their powers to pay attention to anything else, and had no time to catch up with the escaped Golden Dragon King.

The Golden Dragon King was extremely fast, arriving at the Divine Realm Committee before the power of destruction and the power of life could combine to become the power of creation.

At this time, all the deities who were considered important in the divine realm and held official divine positions were present at the Divine Realm Committee.

Under the guidance of the benevolent god Lieyan and the evil god Jidong, the divine realm is being repaired through the central hub of the divine realm, which is constantly being damaged amidst turmoil.

Because it was not involved in the time-space turbulence as in the original work.

Even though the divine realm was in turmoil due to the birth of the Golden Dragon King, the loss of the Asura Divine Sword, and the shattering of divine positions, the situation was constantly improving.

At this moment, the arrival of the Golden Dragon King terrified many of the gods.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!" Many of the new generation of gods exclaimed.

These deities, who had not participated in the previous war in the Dragon God Realm, were all awestruck by the divine might of the Golden Dragon King.

Those older deities still vividly remember the battle they fought against the dragons.

How could they not recognize who this terrifying being was?

"A demigod of the Dragon God, the Golden Dragon King!" one of the elemental deities exclaimed in shock.

"Wasn't this guy sealed away? How come he's out now?!"

Other elemental deities and the deities of original sin were also on high alert, but compared to these older first-level deities...

Lieyan and Ji Dong, who had assumed the positions of the previous God of Good and God of Evil, knew very little about the terrifying behemoth before them.

After all, the existence of the Dragon God Realm is a secret known to very few people, even in the God Realm.

However, the Golden Dragon King was not prepared to get entangled with these gods any longer. In his eyes, these ants were nothing more than ants, even if they joined forces.

As long as there is no time to prepare in advance or set up a killing formation, and you just stand there and let them attack, these gods will not be able to break through your defenses.

Now, the Golden Dragon King has only one goal in mind: the central hub of the God Realm, protected by the protective shield of the God Realm Committee.

That maintains the current stability of the divine realm and is also the core element that originated from the former Dragon God Realm.

A deep hatred flashed in the Golden Dragon King's eyes. In his view, the gods of the divine realm now survived by devouring the flesh and blood of the former Dragon God Realm.

This is not because the Golden Dragon King, as a half-body of the Dragon God, particularly cares about his responsibilities in the Dragon God Realm.

But this was once "his" property, and even if he didn't want it anymore, he couldn't just give it away to someone else for nothing!

"Roar—" Accompanied by the Golden Dragon King's roar, golden light patterns simultaneously emanated from the Golden Dragon King's mouth.

The space, deities, divine power, and even the protective shield of the Divine Realm Council that passed through it were all dyed a golden color.

At the same time, a bright golden flame rose from the Golden Dragon King's entire body. He burned his divine blood to power the next attack!

Because he knew that although he was extremely fast, he had gained the upper hand by arriving first when the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life merged to create divine power.

However, it will probably not be long before the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life arrive here together, and then it will be difficult to destroy the central hub of the divine realm again.

Therefore, he must finish this battle quickly. In any case, for the Golden Dragon King, the damage to his physical body can be recovered in a short period of time.

Therefore, as the flames rose all over the Golden Dragon King's body, his power, which had already reached the level of a god-king, expanded even further.

Wherever the power spread, even if other gods tried to resist, they could not withstand the lingering force of the Golden Dragon King's roar.

At this moment, facing the Golden Dragon King was Lieyan, the god of goodness, and Ji Dong, the god of evil.

Their expressions were rather grim at this moment, but they were also on high alert.

When they descended to the lower realm, the previous generation of the gods of good and evil naturally made other arrangements.

Their two divine artifacts transformed into two divine swords and remained in the Divine Realm Committee, namely the Sword of Supreme Goodness and Water and the Sword of Awe-inspiring Evil.

These two elements can be combined with the Asura Divine Sword to form the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms, thereby maximizing the killing intent left behind by the old Asura God within the Asura Divine Sword.

However, at this moment, the Asura God Realm was not within the God Realm. Even if Lieyan and Ji Dong used these two super artifacts, they were still unable to kill the Golden Dragon King.

Upon seeing these two divine artifacts, the Golden Dragon King's pupils contracted, and he sneered. He realized that during the years he had been sealed away, these god-king level experts had also prepared to kill him.

"Hahaha, it's a pity that the Asura Divine Sword no longer exists. What can you do to me now?!" The Golden Dragon King roared angrily, and then charged directly towards the Divine Realm Committee.

The sword, embodying the highest virtue of water, and the sword, exuding a chilling aura of evil, one white and one black, flashed alternately as they slashed towards the figure of the Golden Dragon King.

However, as the Golden Dragon King said, it would have been impossible to kill him without the Asura Divine Sword as the main attack, even though these two super artifacts did leave wounds on his body.

But the next moment, the wounds on the Golden Dragon King's body immediately healed as the golden flames formed from the burning divine power and blood around him spread.

At this moment, with the impact of the Golden Dragon King, the protective shield of the Divine Realm Committee has begun to shatter. Although it has not completely broken, it is sufficient for now.

The Golden Dragon King roared, and its dragon horns crashed directly into the cracked protective shield. The next moment, a powerful impact from the collision of laws spread out.

Those gods who had previously been intimidated by the power of the Golden Dragon King suddenly spat out a mouthful of divine blood and were sent flying backwards, while some of the weaker gods were even seriously injured and on the verge of death.

"Hmph, you are not true gods of good and evil. Even if you act as their agents and possess their power, so what? Can you truly control it?"

The Golden Dragon King spoke arrogantly, but at the same time, his senses told him that an even more threatening aura was getting closer and closer.

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, who have merged the power of destruction and the power of life and now possess the power of creation, are on their way.

The Golden Dragon King snorted coldly, ignoring Lieyan and Ji Dong, who were still trying to attack him.

Instead, they rushed directly towards the location of the God Realm's central hub. At this moment, even with both Lieyan and Ji Dong wielding dual super artifacts, they could not stop the Golden Dragon King's actions.

The next moment, the Golden Dragon King broke through the obstacles set up by the Divine Realm Committee and arrived at the location of the Divine Realm Central Hub.

Although the God of Destruction currently holds control of the central authority of the divine realm, what the Golden Dragon King desires is not control of the central authority of the divine realm.

With a roar from the Golden Dragon King, its enormous dragon claw slammed down, tearing open the space where the central hub of the divine realm was located.

At the same time, with the central hub of the divine realm suffering severe damage, the previously relatively stable divine realm suddenly began to shake violently.

But the next moment, a pink light flashed, and the shattered divine realm began to stabilize again wherever it passed.

At the same time, the pink light continued its momentum, directly imprinting itself on the pair of enormous dragon wings on the back of the Golden Dragon King.

The true meaning of life and destruction lies in the power of creation, which can create all things in the world, and at the same time, it can create the power that is enough to kill the Golden Dragon King.

A pink glow spread, and most of the dragon wings on the Golden Dragon King's back were simply wiped away.

At the same time, the golden flames could not regenerate, just as the Golden Dragon King was born incomplete.

This is the power of creation; even nothingness is part of creation.

Even now, it is a full-force attack from the combined forces of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life.

However, this was not their all-out effort at the cost of their lives after they had burned their bridges.

Ultimately, it was impossible to truly kill the Golden Dragon King; at most, it could only injure him to this extent. However, although it had obliterated a portion of the Golden Dragon King's essence.

However, at this moment, the Golden Dragon King had already accomplished what he wanted to do: the central hub of the divine realm was destroyed.

Even though it wasn't completely destroyed, the arrival of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life was of no use.

Even the power of creation can only create things that are within their understanding, and the origin of the God Realm Central Hub is the Dragon God Realm.

It was created by the Dragon God. Even though it possesses the power of creation, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life cannot repair it; at most, they can only mend it.

However, the central hub of the divine realm is now damaged, and even if it is repaired, it would be no different from constantly adding water to a leaky pot.

When the primal power of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life is exhausted, the power of creation will have no way to continue, and that will be the day of the inevitable destruction of the divine realm.

The Golden Dragon King laughed heartily and, without saying anything more, simply discarded his pair of dragon wings, which were mostly damaged.

Then it escaped into the spacetime rift that appeared after the destruction of the God Realm's central hub, and drifted towards other spacetimes.

For the Golden Dragon King, although he had not killed the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, who had once been his enemies, he was still satisfied.

However, the demise of the divine realm was already inevitable. Although the power of origin was damaged, it was still a good thing for the Golden Dragon King.

Given enough time, he can still repair this part of his original power.

Now he is going to find his other half, the Silver Dragon King who is half of the Dragon God.

He will devour her again and merge with the lost power to achieve the true status of a dragon god.

"Heh heh, the divine realm hopes you can wait until the day I return with my full might, and then I will show you what true despair is!"

Watching the Golden Dragon King's figure disappear into the spatial turbulence, and hearing his final declaration.

At this moment, the expressions on the faces of both the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life were extremely grim.

The divine realm is now facing one calamity after another, and has reached a critical moment of life and death.

Even their combined creative power could not save the divine realm from its inevitable destruction.

Now, all they can do is find a new place for the gods to live before the realm of gods is destroyed.

This requirement is something that none of the planes currently ruled by the gods can meet.

Therefore, they had to develop a new plane that could support the existence of the gods.

At this moment, the God of Destruction gave a helpless, bitter smile, which coincided with his original plan.

However, his original plan was to expand steadily while preserving the foundation of the divine realm, but now it is a do-or-die situation.

If they cannot find a new place to settle down, then the only thing the gods of the divine realm will face is to perish along with the divine realm itself.

Because the gods in the divine realm are already inextricably linked to their divine positions, and the survival of the divine realm is related to whether the divine positions can continue to exist.

For this reason, it was almost a certain death situation.

Because it is a plane that can support the continuation of the divine realm, if it were a plane without a material universe like the previous divine realm.

Therefore, its size would only be comparable to, or even larger than, the former God Realm, which is why it would be almost impossible to establish a foothold in such a plane.

Alternatively, the divine realm could re-establish itself within the material universe, but that would be...

More energy would be converted into matter and exist in the universe, and the energy concentration would inevitably be insufficient to support the existence of gods.

This means that although the gods in the divine realm can still survive, they will no longer be able to retain the long lifespan they once had.

Moreover, it is easy for a god to take root in the material universe, but it is extremely difficult to elevate the material universe in which the god takes root.

Once one enters the material universe at the level of a god, it becomes extremely difficult to ascend to a higher level.

Just like the Dragon God Realm of the past, even though its territory was vast and the universe it controlled was extremely large.

However, the larger the size of the underlying entity, the more difficult it is to upgrade it along with others.

That is why the former Dragon God would risk trying something so almost impossible.

Taking root in the material plane is almost like repeating the dead end that happened in the Dragon God Realm.

At this moment, although the official deities were at most seriously injured but not dead, there were many priests and hunters without divine positions.

They all perished in the aftershocks of the attack by the Golden Dragon King, in addition to the visible shattering and turmoil in the God Realm.

Even the first-level gods couldn't help but feel down, and the entire divine realm seemed to be shrouded in gloom.

The God of Destruction was heartbroken, but at that moment the Goddess of Life took his hand and said, "It's alright, Little Purple, we'll definitely get through this."

The God of Destruction forced a smile and nodded in response, "Mm."
