Chapter 228: Discovered — The Evil God King Acts
The eyes of Di Tian and the other fierce beasts all fixed on the multicolored illusion gate before them.
Suddenly, a faint green light appeared on its surface.
From within the glowing portal, a familiar figure emerged — Brigitte. The gate behind her dissolved into fragments of rainbow light and vanished.
"Brigitte, did you really succeed?"
Zi Ji's voice trembled with both amazement and envy as she asked the question lingering in everyone's heart.
"Yes, I passed the Divine Stone's illusion trial," Brigitte replied softly, nodding.
She extended her arms, and a gentle wave of emerald light rippled outward, releasing the warm aura of her pure, million-year soul beast power.
"It's true!" Di Tian exclaimed, joy surging through his chest as he felt the divine energy rolling off her.
"Brigitte, what did you experience in the illusion? Was it truly as difficult as they said?" Bear Lord asked curiously, eager to know more.
If the illusion's trial wasn't impossibly hard, perhaps the next time the Star Auction Pavilion put another Divine Stone up for sale, they could claim it for themselves.
After all, witnessing Brigitte stand before them as a genuine million-year soul beast made their hearts ache with longing.
As long as the God Realm's suppression existed, they would never be able to surpass that threshold on their own.
"The illusion was every bit as difficult as the Star Auction Pavilion described," Brigitte explained, her face turning grave. "Even the slightest misstep could have cost me my life."
She then began to recount everything she had experienced inside the trial.
The more she described, the heavier everyone's expressions grew.
If they had been in her place, they might have simply stopped after absorbing the energy that made her a million-year beast. They never would have thought to sacrifice themselves to save the illusory soul beasts since they knew it was all a fabrication.
Only someone like Brigitte — pure-hearted and selfless — could have completed such a trial.
"Brigitte, what kind of power do you possess now? And how strong are your healing abilities?" Zi Ji asked curiously.
Brigitte hesitated a moment, then opened her right hand. A small, glowing sphere of condensed life energy appeared, floating gently above her palm.
"The ultimate life attribute… your body evolved!" Di Tian gasped.
He could sense the overwhelming energy within her — unmistakably, it had reached the level of ultimate life.
The other fierce beasts were equally stunned.
Such an attribute was impossibly rare. Beyond Di Tian, none of them had ever possessed an ultimate attribute before. The power of ultimate life was legendary — capable of regenerating the dead and restoring what once was lost.
"Yes," Brigitte nodded calmly. "After breaking through a million years, my bloodline transformed completely, granting me the ultimate life attribute."
"With my power now, as long as a soul beast's essence remains — a drop of blood, a feather, or even a lingering breath — I can bring it back to life. Of course, the more beings I revive and the stronger they are, the greater the cost to my own life force."
Her tone was steady, though her eyes reflected the weight of that truth.
Even with divine power, reviving all of Star Dou Forest as she had done in the illusion would only be possible through total self-sacrifice.
A collective hiss of shock escaped from the gathered beasts.
Terrifying.
They all exhaled in relief at once — because now, with Brigitte's strength, their lives no longer hung by fate's whim.
As long as she lived, death itself was not absolute.
"Brigitte, how long were you inside? Has the master recovered yet?" she asked, realizing too late that in the illusion she had spent over a thousand years.
"Only ten days have passed here," replied the Ten Thousand Demon King. "The master is still in seclusion, recovering."
Brigitte exhaled in relief. "So time does flow differently… good."
Meanwhile, high above in the God Realm's central domain, a radiant green light pierced the heavens as four figures emerged — the four god kings aside from Tang San.
"Why has yet another divine presence appeared on Douluo Continent? And it's a life attribute?" the Kind God King said, his expression darkening.
Could it be that woman from the Star Auction Pavilion again?
Her creation of a self-made divine seat had already shaken them. But this new energy was different — it wasn't self-created or inherited.
Had humanity discovered another way to reach godhood?
"No, it can't be that woman," the Life God King murmured, frowning. "She bears my divine mark — if she ascended, I would have sensed it. This presence… is something entirely new."
"Let me verify," said the Destruction God King, forming seals with both hands.
His divine power surged into the God Realm's nexus, and a vast light screen unfurled before them, displaying the scene in the heart of the Star Dou Forest.
When they saw what it showed, all four froze.
"A soul beast… becoming a god?"
Shock filled their eyes.
Impossible.
How could a soul beast attain godhood?
By divine law, every soul beast exceeding a hundred thousand years faced heavenly tribulation and suppression. And they clearly remembered the silver-haired woman's subordinates — Brigitte should not have been capable of such a leap.
"No. We cannot allow this," said the Evil God King coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent. "Never again shall a soul beast cross that boundary."
The image of the Dragon God's downfall still haunted them, even after hundreds of thousands of years.
The God Realm could not risk another upheaval.
"She alone poses no great threat," murmured the Kind God King, but the Evil King's expression did not waver.
"Even so, I will not permit this. We strike now."
The others — Destruction, Life, and Kindness — exchanged silent glances but ultimately said nothing. They all understood his reasoning and did not object.
The Evil God King raised his arms, channeling a torrent of corrupted divine energy.
In front of him, a pitch-black divine sword formed, humming with malevolent power.
