Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

The spacetime turbulence shouldn't have arrived so early, but perhaps because of the impact of his time travel on this world, it not only arrived earlier than in the original story, but also caused greater destruction.

“My time is running out,” the God of Destruction continued. “What you see now is merely a fragment of my divine consciousness before my death. But you need not worry. Though I am dead, my divine position remains. This fragment of divine consciousness carries the complete inheritance of the God of Destruction and has descended to this world following the causal connection that was already established with you.”

The enormous purple dragon eyes stared at Kong Tianxu, their gaze complex and unfathomable, containing scrutiny, relief, and a hint of deep-seated apology.

"I never imagined that our final guidance would end with one of my impulsive acts. I haven't been a very competent enforcer. To be honest, you did very well. I've been following your growth closely. Your resilient character, your insight into the nature of power, and your unbridled spirit and challenge to the existing order are all very much to my liking. The many trials you've faced along the way have already served as an invisible test of your character and aptitude. It can be said that you've completed most of the preparatory tests for the inheritance."

"However, the succession of a godhood ultimately requires the most formal divine examination ceremony. This is a rule that cannot be omitted." The voice of the God of Destruction grew increasingly ethereal. "Given your current progress, the divine examination can truly begin when you become a nine-ring titled Douluo. The examination content and my super artifact, the Staff of Destruction, will also unlock automatically as your strength increases."

It paused slightly, the purple flames in its dragon eyes flashing intensely, as if resisting its ultimate demise:

"Originally, once you reached level ninety-nine, the pinnacle of this realm, you could gradually and fully assume the position of the God of Destruction. However... the situation has changed now."

Nine rings? Formal inheritance assessment? Kong Tianxu forced himself to calm down and digest this explosive information.

"At the last moment, I completely merged with the origin of the God of Life, and we are inseparable. In this divine succession, the divine position and will of life are inevitably intertwined."

The voice of the God of Destruction carried an unprecedented solemnity: "Destruction and life are mutually exclusive and interdependent. Your future path of inheritance requires utmost caution to balance the two, otherwise, there is a risk of collapse."

"You can absorb and utilize the memories and insights contained in the destruction of the legacy, which may be beneficial to your cultivation."

"You may not know this, but there are descendants and arrangements of the current ruler of the God Realm on this continent. You have unintentionally ruined many of his plans, so his attitude towards you is not very friendly. However, he has now been caught up in the spacetime turbulence along with the other half of the God Realm, and before he burned himself, he promised me that he would ensure my divine position would be passed down. So you don't have to worry about that."

The dragon's phantom began to fade rapidly, the black cracks spreading wildly like a spiderweb, but its purple flame eyes suddenly blazed brightly, proudly proclaiming:

"As you can see, my true form is not human, but the very source of your destructive power—the ancestor of the sub-dragons, the Purple Extreme Annihilation Dragon. You will gradually learn more about me as you receive the inheritance."

Purple Extreme Annihilation Dragon? No wonder!

Kong Tianxu bowed slightly, showing his final respect to this one of the strongest beings in the divine realm and the oldest member of the dragon race.

The God of Destruction's gaze finally focused on Kong Tianxu, and deep within those dragon eyes, which had been as fierce as the blazing sun, a completely opposite tenderness and hope were conveyed:

Finally, please protect it.

The ferocious yet majestic dragon head slowly descended before Kong Tianxu, opening a mouthful of menacing dragon teeth wreathed in terrifying lightning, while its tightly wrapped dragon tongue stretched out with utmost gentleness.

A vibrant, teardrop-shaped crystal fell into Kong Tianxu's hands.

The crystal, no bigger than a broad bean, seemed to contain all the mysteries and compassion of life since the beginning of time. Its light was gentle yet unstoppable; the moment it appeared, even the shattered purple spatial cracks seemed to be briefly smoothed out, as if the seed itself represented a gentle denial of the end and a tenacious continuation.

"This is... the seed of the Tree of Life." The God of Destruction's last words were as faint as a whisper, intermittent, yet as the seed drifted out, they were imprinted with unparalleled clarity deep within Kong Tianxu's soul. "It is formed from the very essence of life in the divine realm, and is also... one of the origins of plants and the vast majority of life forms in all realms."

"It is the foundation for reshaping the divine realm, and also the continuation of my wife's Goddess of Life."

"please."

Chapter 216 Tang San's Divine Oracle, Bull Heaven Titan (Part 1)

The God of Destruction, who had never bowed his head even when facing the Dragon God and the God King of Good and Evil throughout countless years, finally lowered his proud head this time.

Then, the purplish-gold dragon phantom began to crumble like sand dunes eroded by time, turning into countless purplish-gold dust particles that lingered around the Seed of Life.

With a hint of deep anticipation, its final words, like a sigh, echoed in the now completely darkened mental space:

"If possible, please create a fairer realm of gods..."

The lingering sound fades away, eventually disappearing into nothingness.

The deep purple space completely collapsed.

……

Inside the tent, Kong Tianxu suddenly opened his eyes.

Cold sweat had completely soaked the inner lining of his back. He remained seated cross-legged, the crisp night wind of the grassland filtering through the tent flaps, bringing with it the primal scent of grass and damp earth. The firelight flickered on the tent, and the faint sounds of people changing shifts could be heard from outside.

Everything was as usual, as if the terrifying events of just moments ago were nothing more than a vividly realistic dream.

but……

He slowly opened his palm.

A strange seed, surrounded by a deep purple halo, yet seemingly containing countless life veins flowing within, lay quietly in his palm.

An unimaginably powerful life force, mixed with a rhythm of creation that is the same as but completely opposite to destruction, gently enveloped his entire being.

Seed of the Tree of Life.

The final divine consciousness of the God of Destruction, the truth behind the Purple Extreme Extinction Dragon, the entangled positions of Destruction and Life, the sudden acquisition of complete inheritance qualifications, and the terrifying spacetime turbulence that caused half of the God Realm to drift away...

And that clear and urgent call, forcibly interrupted by the impending destruction within the pure white space.

The amount of information was overwhelming. Even with Kong Tianxu's unwavering willpower, which far surpassed that of ordinary people, he couldn't help but feel his emotions surge and his thoughts race.

He stood up, stretched his stiff limbs, lifted the tent flap, and went outside.

After greeting Gu Fan, he slowly strolled into the nearby forest, using the tranquility of the surroundings to organize his thoughts.

The sudden fall of the God of Destruction is actually not good news for his planned succession to the divine throne. The primordial power left behind by the Purple Extreme Extinction Dragon's final burning might not be enough to support his leap from a mortal Limit Douluo to a complete Law Enforcement God. The fusion of the Godhood of Destruction and the Godhood of Life has also greatly increased the difficulty for him to comprehend the divine throne. This means that the time it takes for him to truly achieve godhood may be much longer than expected.

However, apart from this point, everything else is a huge positive.

Birth and death are one, inseparable. This is not merely a difficulty, but a supreme opportunity that is unprecedented in all of history.

The two intertwined divine positions of law enforcers will ultimately surpass any single divine position in the current divine realm in terms of their potential and power.

Moreover, he also possesses the Seed of Life, which forms the material basis of the God Realm, not to mention the half of the God Realm that remained in its original place after being torn apart by the spatial-temporal turbulence, which is currently still a no-man's land.

There are so many things he can do in the future.

Most importantly, Tang San, as the ruler of the God Realm, was also swept away by the spatial turbulence. For Kong Tianxu, this undoubtedly cleared away the most unpredictable obstacle on his path in a short period of time.

To be honest, even after obtaining the divine inheritance of the God of Destruction, Tang San was still a thorn in his side. Although Tang San could not do anything to him on the surface, he could easily sabotage his plans.

The God of Destruction had explicitly warned him to keep his distance from women who possessed a similar divine quality to him.

Therefore, in some arrangements, Kong Tianxu had to deliberately avoid Wang Dong'er and prevent direct contact with this daughter of the God King.

But now, it's no longer necessary.

Even if Tang San, with his extraordinary abilities, were to return with the remnants of the God Realm while trapped in the temporal turbulence, the time required would be a long period of decades, or even centuries.

Without Tang San's direct influence and immediate intervention, this precious time is enough for him to turn the entire Douluo Continent upside down and completely reconstruct it according to his own will and blueprint!

When Tang San returns and sees Tang Wutong looking completely different from what he imagined, it's unknown what his expression will be.

Thinking about all this, Kong Tianxu gazed silently at the seed of life in his palm, which contained infinite possibilities, for a long time. The light and shadow in his eyes changed, and finally returned to a deep calm.

With a slight thought, the seed, its emerald green tinged with purple, quietly transformed into a warm current, silently flowing into his chest and finally settling near his heart. There, it subtly resonated with the golden essence of life, slowly and steadily releasing its pure and gentle vitality to nourish his body and soul.

Kong Tianxu exhaled a long, slow breath, closed his eyes again, and stood there breathing in harmony with the vast starry sky above him.

No matter how drastically the realm of gods changes, no matter what variables and burdens are added to the road ahead, one thing will never change—

Being strong yourself is the foundation for dealing with everything.

Moreover, since the God of Destruction is so confident in passing on his divine position, Tang San must not have any additional tricks up his sleeve. In a competition, would he be any worse than anyone else in this world?

Impossible.

He believed in his path, in the boundless potential contained within this body and soul. He would surely reach the level depicted by the God of Destruction, the supreme divine position that would reshape the realm of gods.

As for the clear voice that once called out to Kong Tianxu, it never appeared again after the destruction of divine consciousness. Along with that pure white space and the silver rift, it disappeared completely, just as abruptly as it appeared, and never rang out again.

But Kong Tianxu suddenly opened his eyes.

and many more.

Tang San's promise?

He suddenly became sober.

withdraw!

Without any hesitation, Kong Tianxu turned and left.

"Click".

He heard a soft cracking sound under his feet. He instinctively looked down and realized that he had accidentally broken half of a fallen tree trunk.

The tree trunk was quite unusual, with large holes distributed throughout the wood, revealing an unnatural pale blue tinge that could be faintly seen inside.

Wenlan Tree.

Kong Tianxu's mind flashed with relevant knowledge. This was a relatively rare tree species; its heartwood was an excellent medicinal material, and its trunk was as hard as iron, making it a high-quality material for crafting high-end furniture and certain special soul-guided device components.

At the same time, the Wenlan Tree prefers cold and shady conditions, and its core has a good auxiliary effect on soul masters and soul beasts who cultivate cold and shady martial souls. It can enhance the internal organs' tolerance to cold and shady soul power, making it a valuable natural treasure.

However, it has extremely high requirements for air quality. It can only survive in places with very rich vegetation, and it can only be found at least fifty miles deep in dense forests.

But here, we've only just entered the Starfall Mountains, and we can even see the hazy meadow line at the edge of the Starfall Grassland when we turn around.

Too close. This isn't normal.

In the distance, a faint rustling sound, different from the sound of the wind, could be heard.

Kong Tianxu's ears twitched slightly, and his gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked into the depths of darkness.

A deep roar and a faint fishy smell wafted over, and the trees on the left swayed as if a strong wind was blowing.

A faint tiger's roar could be heard in the wind.

……

The Heavenly Soul Empire, a place shrouded in mystery.

This place isn't too far from the imperial capital, Tiandou City, yet it stands abruptly with an extremely precipitous solitary peak. The mountain is majestic, with sheer cliffs on three sides, as smooth as mirrors, as if carved by a knife and axe, making it difficult for even birds to perch. Only on the eastern side, the slope is slightly gentler, where some tenacious vegetation grows, forming an incredibly treacherous natural path that deters ordinary people from venturing forward.

The mountaintop pierces the sea of ​​clouds, and about 300 meters above the sea of ​​clouds, atop the mountaintop, suspended above the sea of ​​clouds, stands a majestic castle.

The gray castle, built of massive stones, has a simple and majestic style, carrying the aura of vicissitudes of time, and exudes an air of grandeur.

The miraculous castle before us, built atop a floating mountain, completely transcends the realm of ordinary architecture. Even today, with soul-guided technology beginning to reshape the form of nations, constructing such a magnificent fortress in such a precipitous and incredible location would be an almost impossible task.

Amidst the drifting sea of ​​clouds, where the depths of the clouds are unknown, the location of this protective mountain formation perfectly matches the three large characters on the arched gate at the summit:

"Haotian Fortress".

Deep within the castle, in a spacious hall lit by a whale fat lamp, two exceptionally burly middle-aged men sat facing each other, drinking heartily.

Even seated, they exuded a mountain-like sense of oppression. The man sitting in the main seat had long, turquoise hair cascading over his broad, rock-like shoulders, and his eyes were also a deep turquoise. His eyes appeared simple, yet they possessed an indescribable, unique quality, as if he harbored a terrifying power capable of overturning rivers and seas, which he had forcibly suppressed.

Dressed in a white, fitted outfit, he had his imposing frame covered by a large wine glass in his hand, and he was bringing amber-colored wine to his lips.

Seated to the left of him was a middle-aged man of no less imposing stature, with short, fine hair as thick as steel needles. He was handsome, with a resolute face as if sculpted by a knife. His eyes, however, were brownish-yellow, with a faint glint of gold.
