—------------------—
Warmth and joy at their reunion quietly flowed through the God Forbidden Land, yet Xuan Ming and Gu Yuena both knew this was no time to stop.
They exchanged a look and saw the same resolve mirrored in each other's eyes.
Without another word the two rose into the air and hovered directly above the God Forbidden Land.
"Let's begin." Xuan Ming's voice was calm yet commanding.
Gu Yuena nodded.
The next instant two utterly different yet kindred supreme powers erupted.
From Xuan Ming's body a pure-white divine radiance shot skyward.
It was neither light nor holiness, but a more primordial absolute force that negated, dominated, and re-forged the Laws governing all things.
His godhood was a brand-new existence born after he rejected the old rules.
Behind Gu Yuena nine-colored divine light wove into a resplendent cosmic nebula—the Dragon God Power, a perfect Fusion of creation and destruction, the supreme Origin of matter and energy.
One force embodied the ultimate Law; the other the ultimate source.
Now, at their masters' will, they crashed together like two vast star-rivers—yet miraculously began to merge.
White and nine-color intertwined and spiraled in the Void Realm, finally turning into a chaotic torrent of infinite possibility that poured straight into the intangible yet real heart of the God Realm below.
Boom—!!
The entire God Realm quivered.
The five God Kings' faces changed; they could feel the Realm's Foundation undergoing an unprecedented transformation.
The God Realm's core—its "heart"—soaked up the two supreme forces like parched earth drinks rain and began to expand wildly.
The already boundless Realm stretched farther into unknown void.
On ground condensed of pure divine force new divine mountains rose and Life-originating spirit rivers appeared.
The sky grew higher, the stars brighter.
Energy in the air became so rich it liquefied into spirit mist that drifted downward.
The Realm's Laws clarified and stabilized, and even the God Kings felt their Bottlenecks loosen.
They stared at one another in shock.
This was more than expansion; it was a planar Ascension.
The God Realm's power radiated outward like a tide toward the Mortal Realms under its rule.
Countless planes felt the boon: their barriers hardened, energy Ranks rose, and the evolution of living things accelerated.
Of all of them, Douluo Star benefited the most.
…Douluo Continent.
Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
Di Tian's golden eyes snapped open from slumber, disbelief flooding them; the whole World rejoiced.
The sky seemed higher; the earth heavier.
Every breath he took carried unprecedented, pure Life energy.
The Bottleneck that had halted him for ten thousand years began to crack.
"What… is happening?" Di Tian murmured, having never seen such a phenomenon in nearly a million years.
In the Extreme North Land, Snow Empress and Ice Empress felt the same upheaval.
The glaciers beneath them underwent a wondrous transformation, harder and purer in extreme-ice energy.
All of Douluo Star, under the supreme influence, was evolving toward "divine star" status.
From the God Realm Gu Yuena's gaze pierced the void to the continent's Soul Beast Clan.
She saw the invisible shackle binding them: any Spirit Beast reaching one hundred thousand years faced the Heavenly Tribulation, and every further hundred millennia another, with almost none surpassing a million years.
The old Dragon God had set those rules to curb the beasts and exalt the Dragon Clan.
But she was the new Dragon God.
She lifted her hand; nine-colored light flowed from her fingertip, becoming an unseen chain of Law that crossed planes and merged into Douluo Star's World rules.
"The fetters of old end today."
Her calm words thundered through the Realm's very Laws.
At that moment every Spirit Beast on Douluo above one hundred thousand years felt the dread in blood and Soul dissolve.
Di Tian trembled and roared to the sky, wild joy bursting after eons of suppression.
He had waited too long.
With the shackle gone and the World ascended, a planar "invitation" appeared in his mind—a clear road to godhood.
"My lord… has succeeded!" Tears streamed down his face.
Eons of waiting and guarding had finally borne fruit.
He hesitated not.
"Roar—!!!"
Di Tian revealed his true form as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, vast body shooting skyward, blood and spirit power erupting without reserve as he assaulted the long-dreamed Realm.
In the Extreme North Land Snow Empress and Ice Empress met each other's gaze, resolve and excitement blazing.
"Seven hundred thousand years we've waited," Snow Empress said, voice quavering.
"Then… let's go!" Ice Empress answered.
Two pillars of ultimate ice light soared up, echoing the black dragon pillar from Star Dou Great Forest.
In the deep sea the returning Demon Empress felt the same grace.
She stared at the warmer sunlight piercing the waves, felt the shackle vanish, eyes filled with complex emotion.
She recalled her late husband's wish and Xuan Ming's unfathomable might.
Without hesitation she chose to assail the God Realm.
Yet Mortals must still endure the Divine Tribulation, perilous as ever.
At that moment in the God Forbidden Land Xuan Ming and Gu Yuena sensed their move.
"Give them a hand," Xuan Ming said quietly.
The two supreme powers split into several beams of pure Origin light that crossed the Void Realm and landed precisely on Di Tian, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Demon Empress, and other top Vicious Beasts.
This was no mere aid—it was direct divine escort by God Kings.
The beasts felt the once-raging tribulation turn gentle, nurturing their divine bodies.
Under the divine radiance their Souls condensed into unbreakable godhoods.
The process went unbelievably smoothly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four mighty auras of Divinity erupted across Douluo Continent.
Di Tian ascended, surrounded by Laws of darkness and space, becoming a first-Rank Divinity.
Snow Empress and Ice Empress rose together, their powers resonating in sublimation, both stepping into first-Rank godhood.
Demon Empress completed her transformation, vast destructive divine force swirling around her—also a mighty first-Rank Divinity.
On that day the gods returned to Douluo Continent.
When they appeared in the expanded, more vibrant God Realm and felt their unprecedented power, joy and gratitude overwhelmed them.
They turned toward the God Forbidden Land, knelt on one knee, and bowed their proud heads.
All of this was the gift of those two beings.
