Douluo Continent: Reborn Yuhao, their eyes are strange

Chapter 408 The Primordial Spirit of the Universe; This is My Duty as a Teacher

Huo Yuhao even felt that the explanation given by the Asura God was a complete attempt to downplay the seriousness of the matter and push all the blame onto the Dragon God.

Furthermore, since ancient times, history books have always been written and defined by the final victors.

To truly understand what happened at the Divine Star Ceremony, one will likely need to personally find the remnant soul of the Dragon God in the Dragon Tomb of this world and investigate in person.

Faced with Huo Yuhao's questioning, the God of Destruction remained calm.

"I know what you're thinking, but things have already come to this point, and the divine realm has been shattered. It would be pointless for the Asura God to continue fabricating lies to deceive us."

Back then, at the Divine Star Ceremony, the Dragon God wanted to elevate the Divine Dragon Realm into a higher-dimensional Divine Star, but instead, he was secretly plotted against by the laws of the universe, and unfortunately, his own child was killed.

This is precisely why the Dragon God went completely mad during the Divine Star Ceremony, to the point that he personally killed several Dragon God Kings who tried to stop him.

In this chaotic situation caused by a series of coincidences, the Dragon Clan's magic sword, who arrived at the scene first, naturally assumed that the gods of other races had joined forces to assassinate the Dragon God in order to seize control of the God Star.

This led to the subsequent all-out war among the gods, which engulfed the entire realm, and countless gods perished in that catastrophe.

Hearing this, the goddess of life beside her showed a hint of sadness in her eyes, lowered her gaze, and softly added:

Even when the Dragon God finally regained his senses briefly from his madness, the Dragon Realm before him was already riddled with holes and devastated by countless lives lost.

To atone for his mistakes, the Dragon God absorbed all the endless resentment generated after the fall of the gods into his own body, which barely stabilized the collapsing divine realm.

Then, in order to eliminate the hatred caused by him, and also to give an explanation to the remaining gods, the Dragon God made a vow that unless a new Dragon God reappears in the future, no beast can ever become a god.

"As for your question about why the Asura God did not treat the remaining divine beasts of the divine realm well when he was in charge of law enforcement in the divine realm, the reason is actually very simple, and also frustrating."

How could hatred possibly fade away so easily with the passage of time?

Even among the beast-like deities, the belief remained unwavering: it was deities of other races who, for their own selfish desires, had betrayed the Dragon God.

The God of Destruction sighed softly, seemingly recalling the astonishment he felt when he first heard the God of Asura recount this story.

"While the original divine realm could be considered a paradise, it still had a strict and distinct hierarchical division."

The demotion of mythical beasts to the lowest level of existence, and their ostracization by all gods and even priests, undoubtedly helped maintain the long-term stability of the entire divine realm to some extent.

This was probably a consideration the Asura God had after taking control of the divine realm, or perhaps it was an unavoidable limitation of human nature.

After hearing these words, Huo Yuhao fell into a long silence.

Although some of his doubts were answered in a seemingly reasonable way, he still couldn't believe that this was the truth.

If Gu Yue knew this explanation, he would probably find it even harder to accept this so-called truth than Gu Yue did.

But for Huo Yuhao now, delving into the past of the Divine Dragon Realm is not the most urgent matter, so he simply changed the subject:

"These historical rights and wrongs, these mistakes and transgressions, are not something I can easily judge. Weren't you two just wondering why Sister Yali didn't come in with me to meet you this time?"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao raised his right hand.

A dazzling pink-gold halo gradually emanated from his outstretched palm.

Within this halo, the evolution of all things and the wonders of creation are contained, exuding a captivating aura.

"This is the power of creation!"

Upon seeing the true nature of the halo, both the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life exclaimed in surprise.

The goddess of life's expression changed drastically, and her voice unconsciously rose in pitch.

"No wonder I felt from the beginning that Yali's life force was clearly nearby, but no matter how I investigated, I could never accurately pinpoint her location."

What trouble did you encounter before coming here? That you two had to use your creative power? This is truly a bad thing.

"This is more than just bad; it's downright terrible."

The God of Destruction slammed his fist on the table in frustration, clearly finding the current situation unacceptable.

"You should still remember that back then, in order to stabilize the collapsing God Realm amidst the temporal turbulence, Xiao Lü and I risked our own destruction and had no choice but to use our origin to generate this power of creation."

Although you don't seem to be showing any signs of adverse backlash in your current state, the power of life is part of the Dragon God's power.

If you remain in this state of fusion with Yali for too long, sooner or later, the Destruction Godhood belonging to the Dragon God will completely devour the Life Godhood.

Neither Xiao Lü nor I have a good way to help you solve this problem.

It seems the only solution is for you to find the Dragon Tomb as soon as possible and explore its depths. Perhaps the Dragon God, to prevent his power from spiraling out of control, has prepared some way to resolve potential threats for his future successor.

……

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life eventually left Douluo Star, even taking seven old demons with them.

According to the God of Destruction, after decades of living together on Devil's Island, he had developed a master-servant relationship with the seven old demons.

The upcoming cosmic journey would be somewhat less enjoyable without these seven people serving and joking around.

Now, only Huo Yuhao remained, staring blankly at the destructive stones scattered throughout the purplish-black mountain landscape before him.

The God of Destruction's true form is an extremely pure condensed liquid of destruction, and these Destruction Stones are the result of his primordial power being unconsciously released when he fell into slumber on Devil's Island, and then solidified over thousands of years.

Such a wondrous object, containing pure destructive power, can be described as a rare treasure on a cosmic level.

Just as the Sea God was able to condense the laws and authority of a first-level deity based on the ocean of the Douluo plane.

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, whose true forms are the Destruction Condensate and the Ancient Tree of Life, respectively, possess a god-king-level authority that surpasses them, based on this.

Besides the difference in divine rank, there is also a significant difference in the level of power represented by these two types of authority.

The sea god's authority over the ocean can only command the sea within the original sphere of influence of the divine realm.

The power of destruction wielded by the God of Destruction

It is a true cosmic-level power, which is also the special characteristic of the Destruction Condensate as a fragment of the universe's origin.

The life essence within Yali, which has not yet fully recovered, was also conceived and formed from the ancient tree of life that grew when the Goddess of Life fell into slumber on this island.

According to what the God of Destruction said before he left, there are other primordial spirits of the same level in the vast universe.

The first Asura God also speculated that if the newly born Dragon God could elevate the divine realm to the level of a divine star in one fell swoop.

The power it needs to master must be a step beyond the nine attributes that the old dragon god possessed back then.

It might even be necessary for the newly formed divine realm to possess more cosmic-level characteristics in order to resist the backlash of the cosmic laws at the moment of sublimation.

Just thinking about the so-called innate spirit of the universe gave Huo Yuhao a headache.

He had never heard of such a being even after he became a god in the God Realm, let alone expected to find one on the Douluo Continent.

However, these are things that will only need to be considered after the divine positions are re-established or the path to reshaping the divine star is truly embarked upon.

Now that he has met the two God-Kings, although he has learned many secrets, he still cannot resolve the issue of merging his authority with Yali.

The most urgent task is to go to the Dragon Tomb in this universe and ask if the remnant soul of the Dragon God can provide a solution.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to the outside of Devil Island.

Before setting off for the Dragon Tomb on the Star Luo Continent, he was unsure whether the Demon Emperor would agree to become the soul spirit of his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul after hearing his request.

Meanwhile, in the universe outside Douluo Star.

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life have already set foot on the satellite that the people of Douluo Star call the Moon, while the seven old demons behind them all have bitter faces, as if they have lost their parents.

They originally thought that once Huo Yuhao, their distinguished guest, arrived, and the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life finished explaining their affairs and left the Douluo plane, they would regain their freedom.

At the very least, they should be able to be reincarnated and start anew in their next life.

But to their utter surprise, the God of Destruction, who usually made fun of them, had become addicted to it and insisted on taking them away despite their wishes.

Seemingly sensing the tense atmosphere behind him, the God of Destruction, without turning his head, coldly snorted and said in a stern tone:

"Get rid of those mournful faces, all of you. I'm going to see a very important old friend later, so you all better cheer up."

Anyone who dares to embarrass me at this time will be met with a fate worse than death. Once I successfully retrieve the Seven Deadly Sins, I will keep my word and let you go.

As for now, you all better behave yourselves!

Upon hearing this, the seven old demons were so frightened that they fell silent, not daring to utter a single breath.

The situation is beyond their control now. What can these few spirits do to resist a god-king?

On the desolate planet surface, covered with craters of all sizes, the group had only traveled for a few dozen minutes.

Amidst the vast, ring-shaped mountains, a quaint and antique pavilion suddenly appears.

At this moment, two people were sitting opposite each other in the pavilion.

One of the young men had an extremely refined appearance, with blond hair casually draped over his shoulders. He was placing a black piece on the chessboard in front of him, and his every move exuded a carefree and harmonious demeanor. This was none other than Rong Nianbing.

The middle-aged man sitting opposite him had a face painted red, exuding an imposing aura without being angry, and was wearing a set of dark red magic-patterned armor that radiated a fierce aura.

Those blood-red eyes, as deep as an abyss, seemed to be making decisions based on the ups and downs of the chessboard, constantly conjuring up scenes of carnage as vast as mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The God of Destruction led the Goddess of Life to the stone table. After only a brief glance at the current chessboard, he couldn't help but chuckle:

"Shura, after all these years, it seems you're still just a hopeless chess player who can't even get to the top. This move was completely illogical."

"Do you even know what it means for spectators to remain silent?"

The Asura God's brows remained furrowed, his white chess piece hovering in mid-air, unsure of where to place it next to break the deadlock.

Hearing the God of Destruction's teasing, he could only remain silent without looking up and say, "And don't talk like you're a great chess player. In my opinion, you're not that good at it."

"I'm still a little better than you, at least I won't lose everything like you did."

The God of Destruction responded without any politeness, his words carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"Ha, it's just that this chessboard is too small, making it difficult to play freely."

After a long pause, the Asura God finally hesitated and placed a piece.

"But since you and Life have finally come to see us from Douluo Star, you must have explained the situation to that kid Huo Yuhao. Did he have any particular reaction after hearing what happened?"

The God of Destruction responded calmly:

"Huo Yuhao is quite composed. He said he would do his best, but man proposes, God disposes, and no one can predict the final outcome."

However, he did have some reservations about the actions of the three of you against the divine beasts in the divine realm.

"What a cunning little rascal, he's got quite a lot on his mind..."

As soon as the God of Asura finished speaking, Rong Nianbing quickly placed a piece on the chessboard, and the entire situation on the chessboard underwent a dramatic change.

Bai Zi was completely powerless to turn the tide and was trapped in a hopeless situation.

Upon seeing this, the Asura God immediately bristled and glared, pointing at Rong Nianbing and saying, "Rong Nianbing, how come you don't care at all about the life or death of your disciple?"

According to the agreement I made with Destruction, if he loses to Tang Hao or the resurrected Tang San in the future, then his only fate will be death.

Rong Nianbing, however, remained calm and composed. She leisurely picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip, and smiled.

"A troubled mind leads to troubled actions. Before this, I didn't know the truth about Yuhao, so I was naturally worried. But now that I know Yuhao is alright, my mind is at peace, so why worry too much about things that haven't happened yet?"

Besides, that was merely a private agreement between you and the God of Destruction. If things truly escalate to an unavoidable point, I will certainly step in to help him at all costs. This is simply my duty as a teacher.

As they chatted and laughed, the seven most fundamental elemental powers emanated from Rong Nianbing's body, subtly displaying a dynamic interplay of mutual generation and restraint, and an endless cycle of life.

Sensing this aura, which was purer than ever before, the God of Destruction showed a hint of surprise and said, "It seems that after the God Realm shattered, you had quite a few unexpected encounters, which allowed your cultivation to advance even further."
