----------

After Sheng Ming and Hui Mie had fully settled into the Douluo Divine Realm—after they understood its wounds, its history, and the burden that rested upon it—I did not allow them the luxury of prolonged contemplation.

This realm did not need observers.

It needed hands at work.

I brought them to one of the most severely damaged regions of the Divine Realm's outer ring—a place where the Divine War had burned deepest.

The moment we arrived, the atmosphere changed.

The space here was intact, yet oppressive. The laws functioned, but they felt heavy, as though weighed down by countless unspoken screams. Even gods who passed through this region unconsciously suppressed their divine senses, unwilling to fully touch what lingered here.

This was not simple killing intent.

It was residual will—compressed hatred, despair, and unwillingness to die that had fused directly into the fabric of law.

Several gods were already working here.

A fire god was carefully burning away surface-level malice, inch by inch.

A purification god maintained a continuous domain, slowly dissolving corruption.

A law god monitored structural stability, ready to intervene if the region destabilized.

Their progress was steady.

Painfully slow.

At their current pace, this region alone would take three to four divine days to fully cleanse.

I turned to Hui Mie.

"Try," I said simply.

Hui Mie stepped forward.

He did not unleash power immediately.

Instead, he closed his eyes.

The surrounding gods felt it before they saw it—a sudden shift in pressure, as though reality itself had recognized an apex predator entering its territory.

His destructive authority did not explode outward.

It condensed.

Then—

It moved.

A wave of pure destruction spread outward from him, not like fire or lightning, but like an eraser dragged across existence itself.

The killing aura screamed.

Not metaphorically.

It screamed as it was unmade.

Hatred, resentment, dying wills—none of them were suppressed, purified, or sealed.

They were shredded.

Reduced to nothing.

Not energy.

Not residue.

Nothing.

In less than a breath, the entire region went silent.

Where violent aura had once churned endlessly, there was now an eerie emptiness—a vacuum not of space, but of intent.

The surrounding gods froze.

The fire god's flame flickered out unconsciously.

The purification god's domain collapsed, no longer finding anything to act upon.

The law god stared, stunned.

"
It's gone," someone whispered.

I nodded.

"Destruction," I said calmly, "is not violence."

Hui Mie opened his eyes.

"It's finality."

The area was now clean.

But it was also barren.

The laws there were intact—but exhausted, as though stripped bare and left exposed.

I turned to Sheng Ming.

"Your turn."

She stepped forward without hesitation.

Unlike Hui Mie, she did not condense her power.

She released it.

Life energy flowed outward like a warm tide, not flooding the area, but soaking into it. Where the laws had been scarred, they softened. Where structure had been weakened, it strengthened.

The empty space left behind by destruction did not remain void for long.

New balance formed.

Law lines realigned themselves naturally.

Energy circulation resumed.

The region breathed again.

Within moments, what had been a scar became a stable domain—not merely repaired, but healthier than before.

The gods watching felt it immediately.

Their cultivation bases stirred.

Their divine senses sharpened.

"
The laws are responding," the law god murmured, disbelief in his voice.

"Of course they are," I replied. "This is what the Divine Realm has been missing."

What would have taken multiple gods several days—

Had taken minutes.

No backlash.

No instability.

No exhaustion.

The surrounding gods looked at Sheng Ming and Hui Mie with undisguised awe.

One by one, they stepped forward to introduce themselves.

A god of purification bowed respectfully.

A domain guardian saluted.

Even an old god who had survived since before the Divine War inclined his head.

"It's an honor," he said sincerely.

Sheng Ming smiled, a little awkwardly.

"We're just doing what we can."

Hui Mie said nothing—but his posture relaxed slightly.

I watched them quietly.

This was how trust formed.

Not through authority.

But through results.

I gathered their attention again.

"You should continue like this," I told them. "Work together. Target the most severe regions first."

They nodded immediately.

"But understand this," I added. "This is not just service to the Divine Realm."

They looked at me.

"As you use your authorities here," I continued, "you are not merely cleansing space. You are deepening your understanding of your godhood."

Destruction refined through purpose.

Life tempered by restraint.

"This will accelerate your cultivation," I said. "And when the time comes—when the Divine Realm can withstand it—you will both step into God Kinghood naturally."

Hui Mie's eyes sharpened.

"
God Kings?"

"Yes."

I met their gaze steadily.

"When this realm is fully cleansed of residual killing aura, when its foundation is stable enough—there will be room for more God Kings."

"And when that happens," Sheng Ming said softly, understanding dawning, "we'll join you."

I nodded.

"At the God King Council."

I did not embellish.

I did not promise glory.

Only responsibility.

They accepted it without hesitation.

I left them there.

Not because they needed no guidance—

But because they had found their rhythm.

As I departed, I felt their authorities continue to move—destruction clearing the irreparable, life restoring the possible.

Behind them, other gods followed, learning from their methods, adjusting their own approaches.

The Divine Realm's restoration speed increased yet again.

Centuries passed.

Not marked by calendars.

Not measured by stars.

But by progress.

Region by region, the outer ring was cleansed. Areas once avoided by gods became usable again. Energy circulation improved. The Divine Realm Core's strain eased.

Sheng Ming and Hui Mie grew.

Not explosively.

But steadily.

Their control became absolute. Their domains expanded. Their comprehension deepened.

By all measures, they had reached the peak of First-Class Godhood.

Any other realm would have recognized them as God Kings already.

But this realm—

This wounded, recovering Divine Realm—

Could not yet bear the weight of additional God Kings.

And so they waited.

Patiently.

Working.

Healing.

Preparing.

From the Divine Realm's center, I observed them occasionally—not to interfere, but to confirm.

They were ready.

When the time came.

And when that time did come—

The Douluo Divine Realm would not merely survive.

It would stand stronger than it ever had before.

Because this time—

Destruction knew restraint.

And life knew balance.

And both understood exactly why heaven existed.
