Chapter 307: Chapter 307: The Gods Descend to the Lower Realm
Facing the Evil God-King’s angry shout, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth.
"Evil God-King, your so-called authority of the Divine Realm, in my, Lin Feng’s, eyes, is but a piece of empty paper. The affairs of Douluo Star are not for your Divine Realm to interfere in."
"If the Divine Realm can truly seek blessings for all living beings, I, Lin Feng, would naturally be willing to comply. But if the Divine Realm only knows how to maintain its own interests and ignores the life and death of the lower planes, then I, Lin Feng, have no choice but to stand up and seek justice for Douluo Star!"
"Today, if you wish to fight, I, Lin Feng, will accompany you to the end!"
"Arrogant!" The Evil God’s voice sounded a little flustered and exasperated. A huge phantom condensed in the sky above Lin Feng. His divine power, as substantial as surging waves, formed a black sea of clouds, blotting out the sun and the sky.
"You have repeatedly challenged the authority of my Divine Realm. Do you really think I dare not erase you?" The Evil God glared, the black sea of clouds rolling, lightning flashing within, as if it would pour down at any moment and completely submerge Lin Feng.
Lin Feng stood erect above the Sea of Deathly Stillness. Facing the Evil God-King’s monstrous divine might, his figure appeared exceptionally small, but the light sparkling in his two pupils was more dazzling than any divine power.
"Evil God-King, you keep saying you are maintaining the authority of the Divine Realm, but have you ever truly cared about the suffering of the living beings in the lower planes? On Douluo Star, soul beasts and humans coexist. They also have the right to pursue a higher realm."
"Your so-called rules are but a tool used by the strong of the Divine Realm to bind the weak and to maintain their own rule."
"That’s right!"
A light chide echoed in the sky above the Sea of Deathly Stillness. Accompanied by this voice, another powerful divine power descended from the sky, slowly suppressing the surging energy on the horizon.
Gu Yuena’s figure slowly appeared by Lin Feng’s side. She was in a silver battle armor, holding a Silver Dragon Spear, her entire body exuding a biting cold intent.
She looked at the Evil God-King high in the sky from afar, her voice as cold as a cold wind, "Evil, on what basis do you think that a soul beast cannot become a god? The rules of Douluo Star, when did it become your turn, a person of the Divine Realm, to define?"
"My soul beast clan, since ancient times, has coexisted with heaven and earth. You have without authorization attached the rule that a soul master’s cultivation requires hunting and killing a soul beast to the Douluo Star, regarding soul beasts as prey. This in itself is an injustice to the soul beast clan."
"You have attempted to use this method, to use the erosion of the years to eliminate the soul beast clan, to consolidate your Divine Realm’s rule in the lower planes."
"Asura, Divine Realm, the one sword strike that had cut me ten thousand years ago, and the suffering of the soul beasts being suppressed by you for these tens of thousands of years, I, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, have all remembered in my heart. Today, this debt should be properly settled!"
Gu Yuena’s words were as piercing as ice, making all the God-Kings of the Divine Realm tremble. The silver battle armor on her body sparkled with a dazzling light under the sunlight. The Silver Dragon Spear pointed straight at the Evil God-King, her battle intent monstrous.
"It’s the Silver Dragon!"
"It’s her! Lin Feng actually has a connection with her?" The Evil God-King’s face became more and more gloomy. "She had run away back then. I didn’t expect that today she would dare to proactively show herself! The injuries that the Asura’s judgment sword had brought her have actually been completely healed. Looking at this aura, she is about to recover to the God-King realm!"
A trace of gravity also flashed in the God of Destruction’s eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Since the Silver Dragon dares to appear, then she is afraid that she already has a trump card and the confidence not to be taken down by us. Evil, we cannot act rashly."
The God-King of Goodness sighed and said, "This matter is getting more and more complicated. The Angel God, the Ice God, the Sea God, and also this common lord of soul beasts... this Lin Feng, with how many gods does he have a connection? For him to help Gu Yuena, does he really want to be an enemy of our Divine Realm?"
Just at this time, on the Sea of Deathly Stillness, another gold and a blue, two figures had manifested.
The auras of a peak Second-Class God and a First-Class God had filled the air. They stood side by side with Gu Yuena. It was precisely Bo Saixi and Qian Renxue.
The Angelic Sacred Sword in Qian Renxue’s hand was held high, blooming with a brilliant light. "Asura God, I know you can hear me. You and Poseidon had, ten thousand years ago, personally plotted the fall of the first-generation Angel God. Now that Poseidon has already been executed, you also stop thinking of escaping this calamity!"
"What!!!"
The God-King of Goodness frowned and looked at the Asura God. Seeing his face change slightly, but then immediately return to calm, his heart couldn’t help but secretly sigh.
Evil and Destruction had long had their guesses and on the contrary appeared relatively calm. But the surprise and doubt in their eyes were hard to hide.
The God-King of Goodness couldn’t help but say angrily, "Asura! Why did you make a move on Qian Yuhan?!"
The Asura God snorted coldly and stood with his hands behind his back. Since this matter had already been laid on the table, he might as well just stop pretending.
"The Angel’s judgment? Laughable. As the one entrusted with upholding the Divine Realm’s duty of judgment, I cannot allow her to mature and become a variable. It so happened that Poseidon required her faith energy. Eliminating an aberration while simultaneously adding a top-tier combatant beneath the God-King level to the Divine Realm’s ranks—tell me, what have I done wrong?"
"You!" The God-King of Goodness glared. "Do you know what you are saying?!!!"
"Of course I know what I am saying," the Asura God’s face was cold and stern. He looked at the God-King of Goodness without flinching. "Everything I have done is for the stability of the Divine Realm."
"Fallacy! You have personally killed a human god who had proven her Dao in the righteous path!!!"
"Enough!!!"
The Evil God-King’s roar echoed in this space. "Asura, your debt, we will settle it later. Now, we must first solve this Lin Feng. He has already become a great hidden danger for our Divine Realm."
"Destruction, gather the seven original sin gods. Asura, you go and gather the seven element gods and the Rakshasa. You and Destruction will descend to the lower realm together and capture this fellow."
With the Evil God-King’s command, the atmosphere of the Divine Realm instantly became tense to the extreme.
The light screen that was peeping at the lower realm had long been shattered, and along with the divine sense phantom that had blotted out the sky, had been shattered by Lin Feng with one sword strike.
One after another of a sound transmission quickly echoed in the Divine Realm. Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Pride, Envy, Lust, and Gluttony—the seven original sin gods had quickly gathered and had come to the side of the God of Destruction.
On the contrary, the Asura God’s face was ugly. "I can’t contact the Rakshasa. The seven element gods have shirked and are unwilling to descend to the lower realm."
The God of Destruction sneered, "A majestic God-King can’t even manage his own subordinates well. The love-hate relationship between the Rakshasa and you is even more so laughable."
The Asura God’s face was ashen. But due to the current situation, he could only swallow this anger. He said in a cold voice, "The Rakshasa’s actions have always been secretive. Perhaps she has left the Divine Realm without authorization. But for the seven element gods to also dare to shirk, after this matter is over, I will surely give them a profound lesson."
The Evil God-King snorted coldly. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. It’s fine if the seven element gods don’t go. With you few gods, it is enough to take down this son, Lin Feng."
His voice paused for a moment. He squinted his eyes and looked at Qing Xuan. "Life, what are your thoughts?"
He had not forgotten Qing Xuan’s previous words that once they made a move, she would not watch as Lin Feng was besieged.
"I will not watch as you go and find him like this. My combat power is not strong, but to keep one person is enough."
Qing Xuan sighed. "Goodness, stay with me. Believe me, you shouldn’t be an enemy of him."
The God of Destruction was filled with uncontrollable anger. He only felt the green light on his head was even stronger. "Life!! I think you have been muddle-headed by that Lin Feng! He has colluded with the Silver Dragon King! Didn’t you discover it when you had descended to the lower realm?"
"One after another. I don’t believe you can’t see how many chattering women are by his side."
"You just wait and see how I will capture him and prove how wrong what you have said and done to me before was!! Let’s go!"
The moment his voice fell, along with the seven-colored original sin gods by his side, as well as the Asura God, a total of nine gods, their entire bodies’ divine power surged, transforming into nine streams of light that had directly torn open the spatial barrier of the Divine Realm and had sped towards the Douluo Star.
The Evil God, after giving Qing Xuan a deep look, had also transformed into a black light and had closely followed behind, disappearing into the horizon of the Divine Realm. He would not descend to the lower realm, but he was going to supervise the battle.
In the Divine Realm conference room, only the Goddess of Life, Qing Xuan, and the God-King of Goodness remained.
The God-King of Goodness’s expression was complex. He looked at Qing Xuan and slowly spoke, "Life, why are you so certain that we should not be an enemy of Lin Feng? What on earth kind of a trump card does he have, to make you trust him so much?"
"You and Destruction separated because of him?"
"Goodness, have you ever thought why Lin Feng was able to so easily break through Evil’s peeping, and why he could help a soul beast to become a god, and not be bound by the rules of the Divine Realm?"
The God-King of Goodness’s brow furrowed tightly. He was indeed puzzled and confused by this.
"He has walked a new path. The planar will of the Douluo Star has acknowledged it. Even the universal laws have acknowledged it."
Goodness’s face changed. "The universal laws? You mean to say, the thing that the Dragon God did not do, he might...?"
Qing Xuan shook her head slightly. "I don’t know. But I can be sure that his path is different from the rest."
"But, even so, he also cannot become an enemy of our Divine Realm," the God-King of Goodness sighed. "The existence of the Divine Realm is to maintain the order of the universe and to protect the balance of the various planes. If Lin Feng really threatens all of this, then how can we sit by and watch?"
Qing Xuan gently caressed the staff of life in her hand. "Goodness, you and I both know that the Divine Realm is by no means absolute justice, nor is it omnipotent."
"At the beginning of the universe, the role of the Divine Realm was still very great. Now that the various planes have already stabilized, the Divine Realm is more so doing the work of supervision."
"What Lin Feng has done, perhaps in our eyes seems a little heretical. But who can say that he is surely wrong?"
"I will answer your final question just now. I have fallen for him. Hopelessly. It will not change."
Hearing this, the God-King of Goodness’s entire body shook. He widened his eyes and looked at Qing Xuan, as if he couldn’t believe his own ears.
"Life, you... are you serious?" The God-King of Goodness’s voice trembled a little.
Qing Xuan nodded lightly.
The God-King of Goodness was silent. She looked at Qing Xuan. After a long while, only then did she slowly speak, "Life, you have always been the most rational, the most calm existence in the Divine Realm. I hope you can clearly know that the feelings between you and him may bring you endless trouble and worries."
"I have already considered it very clearly," Qing Xuan said firmly. "I am willing to bear all the consequences, as long as I can be with him."
The God-King of Goodness sighed deeply. She knew she could not persuade Qing Xuan. And, from the depths of her heart, she also somewhat understood Qing Xuan’s feelings.
"You have held me here. But there are still two God-Kings and seven First-Class Gods who have descended to the lower realm together."
"That one of yours... do you really think he can survive?"
Qing Xuan laughed. "Then if I want to go, can you let me go?"
"...I can’t."
Qing Xuan smiled faintly, as if she had long anticipated the God-King of Goodness’s answer. Her gaze was gentle as she looked outside the Divine Realm. There, ten streams of light were speeding towards the Douluo Star, carrying an unparalleled divine might.
She said softly, "I will not let him be harmed. But I also know what he wants. This one battle is what he has sought."
"What I can do is to mediate the power that can threaten him. He will be fine. And the criminal gods will be brought to justice."
Goodness’s pupils changed. "The seven element gods, was it you who did not let them come? The Rakshasa God, was it also you who secretly led her away?"
Qing Xuan nodded and then shook her head. "I am not very familiar with the seven element gods. As for the Rakshasa, she was in the lower realm, tormenting her own successor. Later, she had descended to the lower realm to want to directly make a move on him and his partner, and was killed by him, her divine soul imprisoned."
Hearing this, the God-King of Goodness was shocked in her heart. The Rakshasa God had actually already been killed by Lin Feng, and her divine soul had even been imprisoned?
When was this...
By the way, Rong Nianbing. A thought suddenly flashed in the God-King of Goodness’s heart. The seven element gods and Rong Nianbing had a close relationship. In this, there was probably his shadow. Yes. Rong Nianbing himself had proposed to go to the Douluo Star to contact the Angel God.
But until now, he had not returned. The new Angel God had clearly already shown a god-level aura, but he still had no news. The Divine Realm also could not track his whereabouts.
"The God of Emotion?" The God-King of Goodness asked, probing.
"Mmm," Qing Xuan replied softly.
"But in the end, he is just a First-Class God. Even with his assistance, what waves can they stir up?" The God-King of Goodness’s words carried a trace of incomprehension and worry.
To this question, Qing Xuan just smiled and did not speak again. Once something unexpected really happened in the lower realm, she would immediately descend to the lower realm to support him. Although now she and Goodness were mutually supervising each other and could not fight side by side with Lin Feng, she had already secretly made many arrangements to ensure his safety.
The God-King of Goodness looked at the no-longer-speaking Qing Xuan and let out a quiet sigh. "The Goddess of Life of the Divine Realm would actually fall for an existence of a lower plane. If this were to spread, I’m afraid it would cause a sensation in the entire Divine Realm."
Qing Xuan smiled faintly. "At least, he is the only one in my heart."
Goodness helplessly shook her head. "You really are..."
At the edge of the Divine Realm, the various gods had finally arrived before the passage to the Douluo Star.
The Evil God-King scanned the area once, a cold light sparkling in his eyes. "Everyone, on this trip to the lower realm, you must capture Lin Feng and bring him to justice. Not only has he provoked the authority of the Divine Realm, but he has also colluded with the common lord of soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King, and has attempted to subvert the order of the Douluo Star. Such actions must not be tolerated!"
The God of Destruction snorted coldly. "Don’t worry, Evil. I will personally make a move and let him know the consequences of challenging the majesty of the Divine Realm."
For this fellow who had snatched away his wife, he had long wanted to make a move.
"Very good. The Douluo Star cannot bear so many gods. I will wait here. If the situation changes, you can send me a message, and I will make a move."
One after another of a stream of light had shot out from the Divine Realm’s passage. The God of Destruction, the Asura God, as well as the seven original sin gods, a total of nine gods, with a monstrous divine might, had passed through the spatial barrier and had descended upon the Douluo Star.
"Buzz~~~"
On the horizon of the Douluo Star, nine streams of light were like the stars from the nine heavens falling, carrying an indescribable pressure and divine power. In an instant, they had torn apart the restraint of space and had stopped at a sea area a little far from the Sea of Deathly Stillness.
Nine golden pillars of light had illuminated the entire sky, making it brilliantly golden. The sea waves, under the influence of the divine power, had rolled and boiled. The space had become twisted.
The Douluo Continent, the Sun Moon Continent, almost everyone could more or less see this shocking scene. Whether it was a soul master or an ordinary person, they all couldn’t help but raise their heads to look at the sky, their hearts full of shock and unease.
In Spirit City.
"Teacher! Teacher! Come out quickly and look, teacher?" Hu Liena hurriedly ran into Bibi Dong’s room but found that the room was empty, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering. A trace of doubt couldn’t help but rise in her heart. Teacher usually would be cultivating here at this time. How come she’s gone today?
"Great Priest! Great Priest?" Hu Liena again hurriedly ran to the secret room where Qian Daoliu usually went into seclusion, but still did not find anyone.
Her thoughts spun rapidly. She then ran to the mountain range where the Snow Empress was. The result was still an empty place. The Snow Empress was also nowhere to be seen.
