Fate took its place.
The God Realm prototype, which had been somewhat unstable due to the lack of two God King-level authorities, immediately stabilized considerably.
Watching this, the Dragon God felt some anxiety.
Was Su Ming stalling for time?
The later the authorities were gathered, the less opportunity he would have to compete for control of the God Realm.
Because control was best established before the God Realm evolved. The God Realm's self-evolution was based on the composition of authorities. His bloodline authority and energy authority were still at the God King level. The God Realm would also evolve based on these as its foundation.
Even if they were promoted later, these two authorities would have difficulty occupying the dominant position.
"One authority is still missing. How exactly does he plan to gather it?" The Dragon God looked towards the battlefield.
Although he didn't know Su Ming's thoughts, he could still guess.
Nothing more than finding an opportunity on this battlefield.
At this point, the battlefield had reached a stalemate.
"Huo Yuhao, I'll give you one last chance. Don't be so obstinate!"
Tang San shouted in anger, obviously losing patience.
You're being flippant with the Sea God's descent. If you continue to block me, I'll directly use the Asura's power!
Then, beneath his sword, there will be no mercy.
Tang San was reluctant to use the Asura's divine power – a deep-seated resistance. That's why, even now, he was still using the Sea God's divine power.
But resistance didn't mean complete rejection.
If forced, he would still use it.
For example, now, even as he threatened Huo Yuhao, he was already mobilizing the Asura's divine power.
He didn't need to wait for a response.
If Huo Yuhao didn't step aside, an Asura sword Qi would soon pierce his chest.
Across heaven and earth, killing intent ran wild.
Tang San's eyes turned blood-red.
Around him, the blue-gold divine power rapidly transformed into blood-red.
The planar war had ceased.
The battle between deities had drawn the attention of both armies.
The Abyssal Sage King hid deep within the Abyss, watching the battle from afar.
"So he's digging out a plane from the Douluo God Realm to a new God Realm? This Su Ming is incredibly bold."
The Abyssal Sage King sighed emotionally, yet also felt anticipation. Although he was currently in an adversarial relationship with Su Ming, he still hoped Su Ming would succeed.
Because if he succeeded, the Abyss would also be a plane covered by a God Realm.
On Douluo's side, the senior leadership of Shrek Academy gathered together.
Yan Shaozhe's gaze burned as he stared at the Sea God's projection, showing fanaticism.
Elder Lin and the other older elders had the same expression.
The younger generation was different. Zhang Lexuan, already a Super Douluo and also an elder, had an expression that was somewhat difficult to read – not worship, but a hint of hostility.
Similar to Zhang Lexuan was a young man – Yun Che.
After accepting Su Ming's mission and joining Shrek Academy back then, Yun Che had cultivated diligently. His Spirit Rings had been replenished, all replaced with at least ten-thousand-year rings. With this, he soared like a rocket, his cultivation continuously rising. Additionally, during the planar war, Su Ming intentionally used the Tree of Life to open doors for him. His cultivation had now reached level ninety-four, and he had entered the Sea God Pavilion as the third among the younger generation.
The first was Huo Yuhao, the second Zhang Lexuan.
If Zhang Lexuan's hostility was still uncertain, as if she was wrestling with whether she should be hostile to the Sea God, Yun Che was very firm.
He owed his present achievements to Su Ming, so he firmly stood with Su Ming.
Tang San was clearly opposed to Su Ming, so he also was hostile to Tang San.
Yan Shaozhe looked at Huo Yuhao, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.
"Why would Yuhao suddenly side with Su Ming? He's actually blocking the Sea God?"
What was he doing?
While shocked and angry, Yan Shaozhe exchanged glances with the other elders, intending to jointly urge Huo Yuhao not to stray down the wrong path.
But it was during this exchange that he noticed something unusual.
"Lexuan, Yun Che, you two..."
He looked at them, noticing their unusual demeanor.
Zhang Lexuan looked at Yan Shaozhe.
"Elder Yan, is something the matter?"
Yun Che also looked over.
"You two are close in age to Yuhao and usually have a lot of contact with him. Do you know why he was bewitched by Su Ming?"
Bewitched?
Zhang Lexuan was puzzled.
Yun Che sneered.
"It may not be bewitched."
Yan Shaozhe's gaze immediately locked onto Yun Che.
"What do you mean by that?"
Yun Che shrugged.
"The Sea God's actions are against the righteous path. Isn't it normal to stand against him?"
Yun Che's answer was matter-of-fact.
"Yun Che!"
Yan Shaozhe shouted in anger.
Elder Lin and the other elders also locked onto Yun Che.
"Utterly rebellious!"
"The Sea God is the faith of our Shrek Academy, the soul of the original Shrek Seven Monsters. How dare you define him like this!"
Yun Che pursed his lips.
"Can't you see? Wang Dong'er – the Sea God's daughter – is standing behind Huo Yuhao. Who has the problem is clear at a glance."
Yan Shaozhe and the others simply couldn't accept this.
"Nonsense!"
"Stop spouting rubbish!"
Their faces flushed with anger.
Yun Che's gaze turned cold.
"Obstinate. The facts are right before your eyes, and you still want to stand by Tang San's side?"
Yun Che looked at Yan Shaozhe, reproaching.
"You, a descendant of evil Spirit Masters, are the least qualified to point fingers here!"
With a burst, red gold flames erupted from Yan Shaozhe.
He couldn't suppress his anger any longer.
When Su Ming had exposed his background, it had been a huge blow to him. Fortunately, the Spirit Master world hadn't dwelled on it since.
But this was clearly his forbidden zone. For a light-attribute Spirit Master who had hunted evil Spirit Masters his entire life, being the descendant of heinous evil Spirit Masters was the greatest shame.
Yun Che bringing it up again is like rubbing salt in the wound.
Yet it was an undeniable fact.
"Lexuan, do you also think so?" Before erupting, Yan Shaozhe, suppressing his anger, looked at Zhang Lexuan.
He also saw hostility towards the Sea God in Zhang Lexuan's eyes.
Zhang Lexuan hesitated.
Her hostility towards Tang San stemmed from Mu En.
Ultimately, Zhang Lexuan's heart held no glory for Shrek.
The one she wanted to repay was Mu En.
Mu En valued Shrek, so she could also lay down her life for Shrek.
But her starting point was undoubtedly not Shrek, but Mu En.
Her hostility towards Tang San naturally also came from Mu En.
Mu En was not hostile to Tang San.
But Mu En's fate was inseparable from Tang San.
After death, his origin returned to the Golden Ancient Tree.
This was the home of all former Sea God Pavilion Masters.
If that were all, she would not be hostile to Tang San.
But what if the power of these Sea God Pavilion Masters was being devoured by another person within the Golden Ancient Tree?
All their power was merged into the Golden Ancient Tree.
Originally, it was to protect Shrek.
But it was being exploited, the power used privately.
The reason Zhang Lexuan's hostility towards Tang San was still uncertain was because she had not completely confirmed this.
In the confrontation between Su Ming and Tang San, the Golden Ancient Tree's repeatedly displayed intelligence, Tang San's scheming, and other information surfaced one after another. She had also made her judgment from her own perspective.
Faced with Yan Shaozhe's questioning, Zhang Lexuan only replied with one sentence.
"Yuhao is a reasonable person. He wouldn't make a choice without reason."
