Chapter 211: Abnormal Changes in the God Realm, Divine Armor Shatters, Divine Artifact Loses Radiance
The lingering power of the Space-Time Turbulence finally, slowly subsided within the endless void.
The God Realm, which was once dazzling and magnificent, ruling over many lower planes, now appeared somewhat dilapidated and weathered.
The palaces and mountains, originally condensed from pure divine power and eternally emitting a soft glow, had mostly been repaired by now. However, many shocking cracks and damages could still be seen, like a giant who had endured a catastrophe, covered in wounds that had not yet fully healed.
The God Realm Central Hub, that towering hall symbolizing the core of the God Realm's power and order, had its foundations shaken by the terrifying impact of the Golden Dragon King's self-detonation. It was then torn and dragged by the Space-Time Turbulence that swept through everything, drifting an unknown distance and getting lost in some unfamiliar corner of the universe's edge.
Over these years, several God Kings led by Asura God Tang San, the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, the God of Evil God of Goodness, and the God of Goodness Lie Yan, had nearly exhausted their Spiritual and physical strength. They led the remaining First-Rank Deities, Second-level Deities, as well as numerous Third-Rank Deities and divine officers, repairing the Hub's wounds day and night, stabilizing the teetering barrier of the God Realm's laws.
Countless rare divine power materials were invested, and vast amounts of divine power were poured in regardless of the cost, only then bit by bit mending those cracks that were enough to cause the God Realm to collapse.
Until not long ago, the deepest crack in the core of the Hub was finally completely repaired. The God Realm regained stable power, allowing it to break free from the residual gravitational pull of the Space-Time Turbulence.
At this moment, with the several God Kings as the core, the God Realm was pulling its massive and slightly damaged body through the vast and boundless sea of stars. It was making a difficult but determined full-speed return toward familiar coordinates—the direction of the Douluo Star system.
The periphery of the God Realm was still shrouded in a thin layer of space-time dust and residual ripples from the turbulence. However, the interior, especially the area where the God Realm Committee was located, had largely regained its former solemnity and majesty.
The Sea God Temple, a palace that originally belonged to Sea God Tang San and later coexisted with his Asura God divine position, had also been damaged during the upheaval. However, it had basically been restored to its original appearance. The hall was decorated with various rare corals and pearls, flowing with a light blue divine light that simulated the shimmering waves and sounds of the ocean's tides.
Deep within the temple, in a quiet room that was decorated quite elegantly and warmly.
Tang San had shed the divine armor that usually symbolized his majesty as a God King, wearing only a simple blue robe. His brow was furrowed as he toyed with a strange bead circulating with a faint golden light. His gaze, however, was somewhat distant; clearly, his mind was not on this.
Xiao Wu sat quietly beside him. Her pink long dress made her face look as beautiful as ever, but there was also a lingering trace of worry and exhaustion between her brows. The long journey of restoration and her concern for their daughter in the lower realm, Tang Wutong, had caused her to grow quite thin.
She gently took Tang San's somewhat cold hand and said softly, "San-ge, are you still thinking about the affairs of the Douluo Continent? The God Realm Central Hub has stabilized, and we are on our way back. We'll be there soon."
Hearing her voice, Tang San snapped out of his deep thoughts. He took Xiao Wu's slightly cool hand in his, trying to pass on some warmth, but the gloom in his eyes did not dissipate.
He took a deep breath, his voice carrying a long-suppressed resentment and coldness:
"Xiao Wu, I think about it every single moment." He raised his other hand, and the golden light bead in his palm trembled slightly. "That so-called 'Plane Master' of the Douluo Continent!"
At the mention of the words 'Plane Master,' Tang San's teeth ground together with a clicking sound. His gaze was sharp as a knife, as if wanting to pierce through the walls of the temple and look directly at that distant Douluo Star.
"The divine senses I left on the Douluo Continent have all been erased. Da Ming and Er Ming have already met with foul play, and I don't know how my father and mother are!" Tang San's voice grew lower, carrying a bone-chilling coldness. "And Wutong... our daughter! Her life and death are even more unknown!"
Xiao Wu felt the biting killing intent and deep worry radiating from her husband. Her heart ached, and she squeezed his hand, wanting to comfort him but not knowing where to start. As a mother, her longing and worry for Tang Wutong were not a bit less than Tang San's.
"Soon, it will be soon!" Tang San suddenly stood up, his robe moving without wind. A surge of sharp killing intent belonging to the Asura God and the vast pressure of the Sea God uncontrollably spread out, causing the light in the quiet room to slightly distort.
He walked to the window, looking at the unfamiliar galaxy rapidly receding outside the God Realm. It was as if he could see the direction of the Douluo Star as he made a vow, word by word:
"When the God Realm returns, I will personally lead the gods to descend upon the Douluo Continent! I want to see just what kind of character that 'Plane Master' who hides his head and shows his tail is, to dare to deceive me so, harm my family, and kidnap my daughter!"
His voice echoed in the quiet room, filled with unquestionable determination and towering rage.
"When that time comes, I will surely drag him out, strip him of his status, and shatter his divine soul, letting him taste what the wrath of a God King is! The Douluo Continent must return to my rule! All those involved will not escape!"
Just as Tang San's hateful declaration reached its peak, with the anger and killing intent in his heart boiling like lava, and as if he had already foreseen how he would punish his enemies and reorganize the land after his return—
An abnormal change suddenly occurred!
"Crack!"
A crisp, heart-palpitating sound of shattering rang out from Tang San's body without any warning!
This sound did not come from the outside world, but originated from within his divine body, from the core of the sea god divine position that was closely connected to his divine soul and godhead!
"What?!" Tang San's expression changed drastically. Before he could even react—
"Bang! Bang, bang, bang—!"
A series of even denser and more violent shattering sounds exploded from his body like popping beans!
The phantom of the Sea God Divine Armor around him—which usually showed its outline and circulated with deep azure divine light even in his casual state—actually began to disintegrate from the inside without any warning!
The breastplate, pauldrons, bracers, greaves... all the components making up the Sea God Divine Armor simultaneously showed countless spiderweb-like cracks. Then, under the unbelievable and horrified gazes of Tang San and Xiao Wu, they violently exploded into a sky full of tiny points of light!
These points of light did not dissipate but, like fireflies that had lost their lives, their light rapidly dimmed. They immediately turned into the most primitive light blue divine power dust, drifting away and merging into the divine power environment of the quiet room, yet they could no longer condense back into the form of the divine armor.
"No!!" Tang San let out a low roar, attempting to circulate his divine power to forcibly condense it, but he felt an unbearable emptiness and sharp pain coming from the core of his Sea God divine power!
At the same time, the Sea God Trident that had been quietly floating by his side, connected to his mind—the Super Divine Artifact that had accompanied him in battle for many years and symbolized the Sea God's authority—also let out a wailing vibration.
The eternally flowing ocean ripple radiance on the trident's body dimmed rapidly as if its source had been cut off. The golden body of the trident became grey and withered. That indestructible, majestic divine might weighing 108,000 catties receded like a tide, turning into something like common iron in an instant, appearing even more decayed. With a "clang," it fell heavily onto the floor, no longer possessing even half a bit of spirituality.
"San-ge!!" Xiao Wu lost her composure, screaming as she rushed over to support the staggering Tang San.
However, the changes that made their souls tremble even more were still continuing!
Tang San subconsciously raised his hand to touch his forehead—there, he originally had a very clear golden Sea God Trident mark tied to his divine soul, representing his Sea God godhead.
At this moment, where his fingertips touched, there was nothing!
That mark was fading and blurring at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if being erased by an invisible eraser. In just a few breaths, it completely disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed!
"Pfft—!"
The divine armor shattered, the Super Divine Artifact became tarnished, and the inheritance mark disappeared... This series of terrifying backlashes that happened in an instant, pointing directly at the origin of the God Position, was like several heavy hammers ruthlessly smashing against Tang San's divine soul and divine body.
He could no longer suppress it. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of divine blood shimmering with a faint golden luster. The blood mist diffused in the quiet room, even mixed with some subtle divine power fragments and law light dust.
Tang San's aura withered at an alarming speed. That originally vast, sea-like pressure instantly became chaotic and plummeted. His face turned as pale as paper, and his tall frame swayed. If not for Xiao Wu desperately supporting him, he would have almost collapsed to the ground.
He clutched his chest tightly, where the Sea God's origin was located. Now, however, it felt empty, as if he had lost an extremely important part. A sense of unprecedented weakness and detachment swept through his entire body.
"sea god divine position... my sea god divine position..." Tang San's eyes were filled with extreme shock, confusion, and a trace of fear that he himself hadn't even noticed. His lips trembled as he murmured in disbelief, "How can it be... how is it possible?! The God Position... is dissipating? Collapsing?!"
Xiao Wu held him tightly, feeling the aura on her husband that had suddenly become extremely unstable. Her heart was filled with overwhelming shock. She knew well what a God Position meant to a deity—it was the foundation, the source of power, and the cornerstone of existence!
The divine armor shattering, the Super Divine Artifact losing its radiance, and the God Position mark disappearing... every single one of these was a sign of the most serious problem with a God Position, or even... a sign of the God Position changing hands or collapsing!
"San-ge! Exactly what happened?!" Xiao Wu's voice carried a sob, filled with panic.
Tang San did not answer, or rather, he could not answer. He endured the soul-tearing pain and the emptiness brought by the collapse of the God Position, frantically mobilizing his remaining Asura divine power, trying to sense, trace, and contact the sea god divine position that was leaving him.
However, the feedback he received was only a cold silence and a vague sensation as if he were being forcibly "overwritten" and "replaced" in the dark.
Douluo Continent... Ocean... New aura... Transfer of faith... Change of authority...
Several shattered thoughts flashed through his divine soul, which was in sharp pain from the backlash.
A guess that made his whole body go cold—even more terrifying than the collapse of the God Position itself—uncontrollably surfaced in his mind:
Could it be... the ocean of the Douluo Continent... has a new... Sea God?!
