The Emperor Realm.
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted between heaven and earth, causing the entire space to tremble as the laws of the world hummed.
A second sun appeared in the sky. A boundless sea of fire descended from the heavens, enveloping the entire Emperor Realm and dyeing the sky a sheet of crimson red.
"What is this..."
Lin Ximeng looked up at the sky, a flash of shock and doubt in her eyes.
Gu Yuena and the other women all revealed expressions of astonishment.
They could feel the terrifying power contained within those flames, as if it were going to incinerate the entire Emperor Realm into ashes.
Just then, the flames in the sky suddenly began to retract, converging toward a single point like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.
The sea of fire gradually dissipated, revealing the figure that had been enveloped by the flames.
Fang Yang hovered in mid-air, with twenty-three-colored flames endlessly circulating around him.
At the center of his brow, a complex flame rune faintly appeared. Every single line within it seemed to contain the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.
Wisps of the Dao rhyme of fire circulated endlessly within it, emitting a heart-palpitating suppression.
"Fang Yang!"
Gu Yuena called out softly, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
Fang Yang slowly descended to the ground, the flames around him gradually fading.
His powerful aura still caused the surrounding air to fluctuate slightly.
His gaze swept over the women before finally landing on his mother, Lin Ximeng.
"Mother, I've made you worry."
"That flame just now..." Lin Ximeng stepped forward, carefully examining her son, a relieved look in her eyes.
"A heavenly phenomenon triggered by my breakthrough."
Fang Yang explained calmly, a hint of apology in his tone.
"Yang'er, it's good that you're alright."
Hearing this, Lin Ximeng shook her head gently.
Na'er quickly stepped forward, curiously sizing up Fang Yang.
"Brother, your aura is so powerful now, much stronger than before!"
She could feel that the suppression radiating from Fang Yang was more than several times stronger than before.
"Fang Yang, that flame just now was amazing, it dyed the entire sky red!"
Xu Xiaoyan also crowded over, her beautiful eyes full of adoration.
Fang Yang smiled faintly, his tone mild, "It's merely a slight improvement."
His gaze shifted to Gu Yuena, and the two exchanged a smile, saying everything without words.
Gu Yuena could feel that Fang Yang's strength had reached a completely new level.
That flame rune contained unfathomable power, as if it had resonated with the laws of heaven and earth.
Fang Yang looked around and discovered that under the baptism of the fire just now, the Emperor Realm hadn't suffered any damage; instead, because it had absorbed a portion of the flame's essence, the spiritual energy had become even purer and richer.
He nodded slightly, quite satisfied with this result.
"Oh?"
Just then, Fang Yang suddenly sensed something.
He looked up at the sky, his gaze piercing through the barrier of the Emperor Realm to see the endlessly distant deep space of the universe.
"A change has occurred in the universe..."
Fang Yang murmured to himself, a flash of understanding in his eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"The God Realm has returned."
Fang Yang withdrew his gaze, his calm tone carrying a hint of profound meaning: "Let's go..."
"Okay."
Hearing this, thick killing intent surged in Gu Yuena's purple eyes, with a faint silver radiance flowing around her.
She had waited for this day for far too long.
The next moment, Fang Yang gently waved his sleeve, and a spatial rift appeared out of thin air.
The two exchanged a glance and stepped in simultaneously, their figures instantly disappearing from the Emperor Realm.
...
Deep space of the universe, the stars were dim.
In the endless sea of stars, a majestic and magnificent God Realm was slowly moving, emitting an awe-inspiring divine might.
On the periphery of the God Realm, twelve resplendent pillars of light shot into the sky, representing the supreme authority of the twelve God Kings.
This was the brand-new God Realm, centered around the Douluo God Realm and fused with the six Great God Realms—the Great God Circle!
The Great God Circle exuded a terrifying aura, with dazzling divine lights and flickering laws.
Within it, a new God Realm Committee was established, led by Tang San and jointly presided over by twelve God Kings.
Douluo God Realm: Asura God Tang San, Ice and Fire Magic Chef Rong Nianbing, God of Emotions Dai Yuhao, Evil God Ji Dong, Kindness God Lie Yan, Destruction God Zhou Weiqing.
Light Child God Realm: Light God King Changgong Wei.
Mad God God Realm: Mad God Lei Xiang.
Kind Death God God Realm: Death God A Dai.
Only I Shall Be Immortal God Realm: Immortal Emperor Hai Long.
Space Speed Star Mark God Realm: Sky Emperor Tian Hen.
Zither Emperor God Realm: Zither Emperor Ye Yin Zhu.
At this moment, inside the central palace of the Great God Circle, the twelve God Kings had gathered.
Above the dome of the palace, stars flowed, reflecting the majestic faces of the God Kings.
Tang San sat upright in the main seat, radiating an unfathomable fluctuation of divine power.
"After enduring untold hardships, we have finally broken out of the black hole."
Tang San spoke slowly, his voice carrying endless majesty. "Now that the Great God Circle is formed, it is time to return to the Douluo Continent."
"Fellow Gods, do you have any objections?"
The Light God King Changgong Wei nodded slightly.
"Naturally no objections."
Hearing this, the other God Kings expressed their agreement one after another.
"In that case, it's settled."
Tang San stood up and announced, his vast divine might enveloping the entire palace.
"Alright."
The God Kings answered in unison, then departed one after another.
"Father-in-law..."
Dai Yuhao quickly caught up with Tang San, looking somewhat hesitant.
Tang San stopped and turned to look at his son-in-law.
A gentle smile appeared on his face: "Yuhao, you contributed a lot in this War of the Gods. I am very pleased."
Tang San was growing increasingly fond of this son-in-law of his.
Not only was he exceptionally gifted with outstanding strength, but most importantly, he was obedient enough.
"Thank you for your encouragement, Father-in-law."
Dai Yuhao bowed respectfully, but a look of wanting to speak but hesitating appeared on his face.
"Hmm?"
Tang San smiled slightly and said magnanimously: "Yuhao, is there something on your mind? Speak freely, we are family."
Dai Yuhao took a deep breath and gathered his courage: "It's like this... Father-in-law."
"You promised before that once we won the War of the Gods, you would remove that lock on Wutong..."
"?"
The smile on Tang San's face instantly froze, and his brows furrowed slightly.
A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes: "Yuhao, what do you take Wutong for?"
"I... I don't!"
Dai Yuhao hurriedly explained, a flustered look appearing on his face. "I just felt that since we are already married, that lock is really unnecessary..."
"Enough."
Tang San interrupted him, his tone becoming severe. "I know what I'm doing regarding this matter."
"Wutong is my daughter; I will naturally consider what's best for her."
Dai Yuhao opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but under Tang San's majestic gaze, he ultimately lowered his head.
"Yes, Father-in-law."
Tang San's expression softened slightly as he patted Dai Yuhao's shoulder.
"Yuhao, you must understand that I'm doing this for your own good."
"Sooner or later, you will understand my good intentions."
"Yes, Father-in-law."
Hearing this, Dai Yuhao nodded.
"Go back, Wutong is waiting for you."
A gentle smile returned to Tang San's face.
Dai Yuhao bowed to take his leave and turned to depart.
Tang San's face instantly darkened.
"Hmph."
He sneered, feeling displeased. "Dai Yuhao, you're just a dog I raised. How dare you make demands of me?"
A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes. "Today you dare ask me to unlock it, tomorrow you'll be trying to sleep with Xiao Wu."
These words reminded him of a certain old thing, who would constantly spout the line, "I've trained a God!"
