While the two divine intents were still confused by Qian Renxue's sudden disappearance, four overwhelming divine powers suddenly descended upon the underground hall.
The surrounding space distorted instantly.
Terrifying pressure flooded the area, far surpassing the aura released earlier by Sea God and Asura God.
Four majestic silhouettes gradually materialized in the air.
One carried endless destruction and annihilation. One radiated pure life force. One embodied kindness and compassion. The last possessed an evil aura that seemed capable of corrupting all things.
The four God Kings of the Divine Realm had arrived.
The atmosphere immediately became incomparably oppressive.
Even Sea God and Asura God's expressions changed slightly.
Then, the deep and majestic voice of Destruction God King echoed throughout the hall.
"Asura."
"You have breached the laws of the Divine Realm."
His purple eyes stared coldly at the crimson divine intent.
"Even if you are the Law Enforcer, sending such a powerful divine intent into the mortal world is a direct violation of the rules."
Sea God immediately frowned and spoke,
"There was another god here."
His expression became serious.
"The situation was abnormal—"
Before he could continue, Destruction God King narrowed his eyes.
"Are you still attempting to quibble?"
The terrifying pressure around him intensified slightly.
"We are witnessing with our own eyes the existence of powerful divine intents within the mortal realm."
Sea God's expression darkened.
Meanwhile, Tang San, who had remained silent until now, finally let out a small sigh of relief after surviving the ordeal.
Seeing the arrival of the God Kings, he instinctively believed the danger had passed.
He hurriedly spoke respectfully,
"My esteemed gods, Lord Sea God and Lord Asura only descended to protect me—"
"Silence."
Destruction God King's cold voice interrupted him instantly.
Tang San felt as though a mountain had smashed into his chest and his face paled.
Destruction God King stared at him indifferently.
"A mortal has no qualification to interrupt a discussion between gods."
"You may speak after inheriting one of their godheads."
Tang San clenched his fists tightly. Humiliation surged within him again, but he did not dare utter another word.
Destruction God King then shifted his gaze back toward Sea God and Asura God.
His eyes slowly swept across the underground hall.
The blood covering the ground and the minced corpses scattered everywhere.
The expression of Evil God King beside him became slightly strange as he looked around the carnage.
Meanwhile, Kindness and Life God King frowned faintly.
Destruction God King spoke slowly,
"Let us assume, for the sake of argument, that this was not done by you."
"We can give the two of you the benefit of the doubt regarding the appearance of another unknown existence."
His tone suddenly became colder.
"However…"
"What explanation do you have for the overwhelming evidence of rule violations committed simultaneously by both of you?"
The underground hall instantly fell silent.
At that moment, both Sea God and Asura God finally realized something.
This entire event… might have been a carefully prepared trap from the very beginning.
A trap specifically designed to drag them into violating the laws of the Divine Realm.
----
Above the collective subconscious of the Douluo Continent, a silent figure stood amidst an endless sea of dreams.
This place seemed to contain the accumulated thoughts, memories, fears, and desires of every intelligent lifeform on the continent. Countless dream fragments drifted like stars through the endless darkness.
At the center of this illusory sea stood Qian Renxue.
Her golden hair floated gently while her purple eyes overlooked the continent below like an observer detached from the mortal world.
Then a voice filled with disdain echoed softly.
"Idiots…"
Her expression did not change in the slightest.
"Although this move cannot restrain Poseidon and Asura God for long, it is enough to keep them occupied for the next few days."
Countless dream bubbles drifted around her fingertips.
"The evidence I prepared was extracted from fragments of the past I observed through the River of Memories."
"As long as traces exist, they can become proof."
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
"More importantly…"
"This is already enough to overturn someone's carefully arranged chessboard."
Her purple pupils began glowing brighter.
Within her eyes, countless thin threads could suddenly be seen intertwining endlessly.
Each thread represented a different future a, different outcome or a Possibility.
"The fight against Poseidon and Asura God's divine intents could have been won easily."
Her tone remained calm, as though she were merely stating facts.
"Tang San could also have been killed effortlessly."
"But that would only create a predictable future."
Qian Renxue slowly raised her hand, as if allowing countless threads of fate to pass between her fingers.
"Perhaps during our battle, residual divine power would leak out and attract Grandfather…"
A faint ripple finally appeared in her indifferent eyes.
"…and the current Pope, my mother."
"Or perhaps the hidden God King Tang San observing from a higher dimension would interfere secretly."
"There are too many possibilities."
Her gaze deepened.
"And the more possibilities there are…"
"…the easier it becomes for someone hiding in the shadows to guide events toward the future they desire."
Qian Renxue slowly closed her fingers. The countless threads shattered instantly like broken mirrors.
"But I refuse to be led around by the nose."
A terrifying purple glow surged through her eyes.
The surrounding dream sea trembled slightly.
"If the trend of the era is a tsunami with roaring waves…"
"Then I want to become the whirlpool that forcefully calms the sea itself."
