Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

But she did it.

"Have you thought it through?" he asked her.

She nodded without saying anything.

"I'll ask you one last time."

The Asura God's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.

"Join my ranks and share the power of judgment with me. I can help you expand your angelic realm threefold."

"I can help you secure your divine position for eternity. All you have to do is nod."

She looked at him, her golden eyes showing no emotion.

"I refuse."

The Asura God's fingers paused slightly.

He looked at the goddess who rejected him, at her exquisitely beautiful yet serene face, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

He had been operating in the realm of gods for countless years, commanding numerous deities, and no one had ever refused him.

She was the first.

Do you know what you're saying?

His voice remained calm, but a barely perceptible chill had crept into his bloodshot eyes.

"know."

Her voice was soft, yet exceptionally firm.

"I will walk my own path. I will not accept anyone's offer of service, nor will I rely on anyone's power."

The Asura God leaned back on his throne, looked at her, and remained silent for a long time.

"You want to break through to the God King realm?"

She did not deny it.

"Yes."

The Asura God suddenly laughed.

The smile was faint, yet it seemed to lower the temperature of the entire palace.

"Do you think you can break through to the God-King level with that little bit of judgment power you hold?"

She looked at him, her gaze still calm.

“My authority is not limited to judgment.”

The Asura God's smile vanished. He knew what she meant.

Angels, the authority of God, judgment, ruling, and purification.

And his authority as the Asura God—judgment, slaughter, and judgment.

Their powers overlap, especially in the area of ​​judgment.

That is one of the most core authorities in the divine realm, holding the final judgment over gods, mortals, and all living beings.

It is extremely rare in the divine realm for two gods to have overlapping authority over judgment.

It was precisely because of this overlap that she had the opportunity to use his authority to find a way to break through the God King's power.

She wanted to use his power, but not depend on him.

"You're too naive."

The Asura God stood up, stepped down from his throne, and walked towards her step by step.

With each step, the crimson hue in the palace intensified, and the oppressive aura grew heavier.

He walked up to her and looked down at her.

"To break through to the God-King level, one needs not only authority, but also fortune, opportunity, and..."

He paused, then lowered his voice, "And also, my permission."

She looked up and met his gaze.

There was no retreat in those golden eyes.

"I don't need your permission."

A flash of anger crossed the eyes of the Asura God.

He had lived for countless years and seen countless gods, but never had a god dared to speak to him like that.

He reached out, pinched her chin, and forced her to lift her head.

"You think I'm discussing this with you?"

His voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"I'm giving you a chance. If you don't know what's good for you—"

She interrupted him.

"You want to kill me?"

The Asura God was stunned.

It wasn't because of her problem, but because of her eyes.

In those golden eyes, there was no fear, no anger, only calm.

That tranquility reminded him of something from long ago.

That was when he had just become a god, facing a superior god who was countless times more powerful than him, and he faced it with the same calmness.

Because he knew that fear was useless, and begging for mercy was useless.

You can only rely on yourself.

He let go of her hand.

"I will not kill you."

He turned and walked back to the throne.

“Killing you would cause the authority of judgment to collapse and the divine realm to fall into chaos. I will not do such a foolish thing.”

She looked at him without saying a word.

The Asura God sat back on his throne, resting his chin on his hand, his gaze icy.

“But I will not grant your wish.” He said, emphasizing each word.

"You want to break through to the God-King level? Fine. But don't use my authority. That authority belongs to me, not you. Every time you use it, I will cut you off."

She was silent.

She knew she was no match for him.

In the realm of gods, there are only a handful of deities who can rival the God of Asura, and she is not among them.

But she did not back down.

"You'll regret this." She turned and walked out of the hall.

Asura God watched her retreating figure, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes. He had never regretted it.

Everything he does is carefully considered.

This includes recruiting her, threatening her, and—if she remains obstinate—eliminating her.

She walked to the entrance of the palace and suddenly stopped.

"God of Asura, you are too afraid."

She didn't turn around, her voice very soft, "You're afraid someone will surpass you, afraid someone will break your order, afraid that one day you will no longer be the ruler of the divine realm."

"So you recruited me not because you need me, but because you're afraid of me."

The Asura God's pupils suddenly contracted.

"presumptuous!"

His voice was like thunder, booming throughout the entire palace.

A crimson light erupted from his body, transforming into a crimson pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

The entire Asura God Realm trembled.

She wasn't scared.

She just stood there, her back to him, motionless.

“You’re right.” Her voice was calm. “I’m afraid of you. But not afraid that you’ll surpass me, but afraid that you’ll ruin me.”

The Asura God remained silent. He knew what she meant; her path was one that no one had ever walked before.

Breaking through to the level of a god-king requires not only authority and fortune, but also the courage to break the rules.

And she has that courage.

He didn't. He'd lived too long, possessed too much, and dared not gamble.

Therefore, he can only maintain the status quo, maintain his order, his rules, and his divine realm.

She's willing to take the gamble. So she might win, or she might lose.

But in any case, she has no regrets.

"You go."

The Asura God closed his eyes. "I don't want to see you again."

She pushed open the door and went out.

Behind them, the palace doors slowly closed with a heavy thud.
