Deep space of the universe, within the endless black hole.
The God Realm, deep within the Sea God Palace.
An unprecedented energy fluctuation abruptly erupted, causing the entire Sea God Palace to tremble slightly.
Tang San was enveloped by a golden light. The light was neither blinding nor scorching, yet it carried a majestic power that demanded awe.
It was like the very first ray of light at the birth of the universe, containing the mysteries of the primordial world, causing even time and space to stagnate in this moment.
"Hahaha..."
Tang San let out a hearty, exhilarating laugh, filled with an indescribable majesty.
The golden light flowed in his palms, transforming into countless dense runes. Each rune carried the origin of the universe, emitting an aura of eternal immortality.
"So this is the power of creation..."
He stared at the leaping golden light in his hand, a flash of understanding crossing his eyes.
This power came from the origin of the universe; it contained the cycle of destruction and life, the balance between creation and the end—far beyond the killing power of the Asura God.
His seclusion concluded, Tang San slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes were no longer simply dark red. Instead, they were as profound as the starry sky, with faint golden flowing lights swirling within, as if they contained the birth and destruction of worlds.
"Brother San..."
Xiao Wu was the first to step forward, but she couldn't help but stop three steps away.
The Tang San before her was both familiar and unfamiliar. That aura stemming from the origin of life made her want to get closer, yet instinctively feel awe.
Tang San retracted the flowing golden light around him and smiled faintly.
"Xiao Wu."
This time, his voice carried less of its usual chilling killing intent, and a bit more gentleness.
Dai Yuhao and Tang Wutong stood not too far away. Both could sense the entirely different aura on Tang San's body.
"Dad."
Tang Wutong called out softly, a hint of apprehension in her eyes.
"Father-in-law..."
Dai Yuhao bowed respectfully. His gaze lingered briefly on Tang San, his heart filled with immense shock.
After just a few days of closed-door cultivation, Tang San's aura was as thick and unfathomable as an abyss. The previous unstable fluctuations of his godhood were completely gone, as if he had undergone a complete metamorphosis.
Tang San's gaze swept over the three of them. His voice was calm but carried an unquestionable authority: "Let's go, to the War of the Gods!"
Xiao Wu quickly followed, gently holding Tang San's hand. Feeling the warmth from his palm, the unease in her heart gradually settled.
Dai Yuhao held Tang Wutong's hand as they followed closely behind. The four figures transformed into streaks of light, heading toward the core of the Douluo God Realm.
The Douluo God Realm, at the God Realm's Core.
Inside the majestic palace, many deities had already gathered.
Divine lights were dazzling, and their auras were vast. Every single deity emitted a heart-palpitating suppression.
On the crystal pillar in the center of the palace flowed seven-colored radiances, reflecting the scenes of the entire God Realm.
"Tang San, are you alright?"
The Evil God Ji Dong looked at Tang San and asked, concern in his eyes. He could feel the entirely different aura on Tang San, as if he had undergone some sort of transformation.
The Kindness God Lie Yan also looked at Tang San, her gaze inquiring: "Your aura... seems somewhat different."
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Tang San smiled lightly, his aura completely retracted, making his strength seem utterly unfathomable.
The Ice and Fire Magic Chef Rong Nianbing stood to the side, his gaze resting on Dai Yuhao for a moment.
"Teacher."
Dai Yuhao looked at Rong Nianbing and bowed respectfully.
The Destruction God Zhou Weiqing crossed his arms, remaining silent, but a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
"God King."
The rest of the Shrek Seven Devils and the others arrived one after another, bowing respectfully.
"Lord Asura God."
The Seven Original Sin Gods bowed in unison, their voices perfectly synchronized.
"Mhm."
Tang San nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. He walked over to the Shrek Seven Devils and the others, a rare, gentle smile appearing on his face: "Boss Dai, don't be so formal. Just call me Xiao San."
The War God Dai Mubai froze for a second, then understood and quickly called out, "Xiao San."
"Yep, that's right."
Tang San nodded, looking satisfied.
"Xiao San, Brother San."
Everyone called out, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed.
Tang San looked around at everyone, his voice steady. "Nianbing, Yuhao, Weiqing, Lie Yan, Ji Dong, let's go."
"Okay."
Everyone replied in unison. Divine light flowed over each of them, converging into a majestic momentum.
And so, Tang San led the gods to the God Stabilizing Array.
Above the firmament of the God Realm, streaks of divine light tore through the sky like a meteor shower, converging toward the location of the God Stabilizing Array.
The God Stabilizing Array.
Located at the core of the God Realm, it was divided into seven directions, corresponding to the Seven Great God Realms. Each direction emitted a unique fluctuation of divine power.
The Douluo God Realm, the Child of Light Divine Realm, the Kind Death God God Realm, the Mad God God Realm, the Only I Shall Be Immortal God Realm, the Space Speed Star Mark God Realm, and the Zither Emperor God Realm.
The powers of the Seven Great God Realms intersected here, forming a massive array that maintained the stability of the God Realm.
By the time Tang San and the gods arrived, the primary gods of the other six Great God Realms had already been waiting for a long time.
The Light God King Changgong Wei, the Death God A Dai, the Mad God Lei Xiang, the Immortal Emperor Hai Long, the Sky Emperor Tian Hen, and the Zither Emperor Ye Yinzhu—every single one of them was a God King-level powerhouse whose fame shook their respective realms.
"Tang San, you've finally arrived."
Changgong Wei spoke first, his gaze lingering on Tang San for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"It seems you've had another breakthrough," Ye Yinzhu said plainly, his fingers lightly plucking a string, producing a crisp musical note.
Tang San nodded slightly. "Apologies for the wait."
His gaze swept over the six God Kings, his voice calm yet carrying an unquestionable authority.
"Today, right here, I issue a challenge to you all. The Douluo God Realm will send six deities for a six-on-six showdown to decide who is superior."
"If we win, it will prove that our God Realm's strength far surpasses all the other Great God Realms."
"From now on, the Douluo God Realm shall take the lead, and I shall be the head of all gods!"
As his voice faded, a tense atmosphere permeated the air.
"Tang San, aren't you being too arrogant!"
The Mad God Lei Xiang stepped forward, a wild divine power fluctuation abruptly appearing. "I didn't expect someone to be more arrogant than me, the Mad God."
The Immortal Emperor Hai Long chuckled. "The Douluo God Realm is indeed strong, but wanting to fight one against six... sure, I'm rooting for you."
The Zither Emperor Ye Yinzhu frowned slightly. No matter who among them heard Tang San's words, their first feeling was sheer arrogance.
Tang San's proposal was already very obvious. He wanted to use the entire Douluo God Realm to challenge the Six Great God Realms in a six-on-six match.
One must understand that they would be facing six God Realms!
Facing the piercing gazes of the six God Kings, Tang San appeared very calm.
"I think it's acceptable."
The Light God King Changgong Wei spoke up after a moment of silence.
The Sky Emperor Tian Hen suddenly said, "I agree."
"Okay."
The Death God A Dai nodded, his words brief and to the point.
The Immortal Emperor Hai Long and the Mad God Lei Xiang exchanged a glance, both frowning slightly.
The Immortal Emperor Hai Long looked at Tang San with clear, radiant eyes and nodded.
"Alright, I'd like to see just how strong the Douluo God Realm can be, to have such confidence to face us all simultaneously."
"No problem."
The Zither Emperor Ye Yinzhu said.
With the six God Kings reaching a consensus, the atmosphere instantly became heavy and solemn.
The divine powers of the Seven Great God Realms intersected within the God Stabilizing Array, forming a majestic suppression that made every deity present feel a sense of palpitation.
