Yu Tianxin stood heaving, cloak fading, scales receding—victorious but drained. Xue Lang knelt broken, true body dispelled, one claw severed, fur singed.
Ye Xiu smiled faintly. In his palm hovered a single light-green glowing leaf, pulsing vital death. With a casual wave, it launched—blurring green streak piercing Xue Lang's forehead instantly. No scream; the Soul Saint crumpled lifeless, soul power scattering like mist.
The guards paled. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing froze—then synchronized bows before Ye Xiu. "Please take us as your students!"
Many assumed Ning Rongrong's "princess syndrome" barred humility. Truth: She yielded to powerhouses who could reshape her sect's fate. She'd scorned Flender and Shrek—why heed a Soul Saint when her father was Sect Master, uncles Titled Douluo? Here, Yu Tianxin's dominance proved Ye Xiu's genius.
Ye Xiu recalled the original timeline: Shrek "brainwashed" her via isolation and PUA.
Flender struck first—rebellious Ning Rong as prime target, to make her an example for all.
His logic? Support Masters lack offensive capabilities, they are the primary targets for enemies. His logic is that a Support Master must be more resilient and faster than their teammates this running around Soto City—not because they are fighters, but because if they die, the team's combat effectiveness
This logic makes sense compared to many things Yu Xiaogang proposed. But here there is slight flaw: Support Type Soul Masters aren't frontline fighters—they're shielded by vanguards/agility types. Enemies target them because they're protected; raw speed/resilience doesn't change that. If protection fails (inevitable in chaos), no amount of "running laps" saves a Level 26 auxiliary.
Misapplies "Genius" Metrics to Supports
Ning Rongrong: Level 26 at ~12yo, 100yr clan genius, world's top auxiliary pagoda.
Comparisons (Dai Mubai Level 37, Oscar innate full) reward combat souls. Auxiliaries shine in amplification (30%+ boosts turn teams dominant). Oscar's "genius" fits food system rarity, but Pagoda outscales food long-term (team-wide vs. single buffs).
Also, as Top auxiliary spirit ever; pagoda can buff entire armies, compared to singular buffs created by Oscar.Flender dismisses her potential prematurely.
Ye Xiu nodded. "Alright. I'll take you both."
His disciples Chen Xin and Gu Rongrong would beg him to anyway—no issue.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing beamed excitement. But Ye Xiu's tone turned steel. "Understand: My training is merciless. No half-hearted commitment. I won't allow tantrums when it training becomes tough? If you do that, you're out."
He eyed Ning Rongrong pointedly. She flushed, old habits twitching. Zhu Zhuqing mouthed urgently: Don't blow this.
Ning took a deep breath, chin high. "No tantrums. I swear."
The guards gaped—Young Mistress Rongrong, bowing? Submitting? Shock softened to quiet pride; she was growing
Just then, the Sky Curtain reignited overhead. Ye Xiu glanced up, muttering, "It's starting again."
Yu Tianxin, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the guards stared skyward.
Will of Heaven started his narration."So I am going start again, we stopped with Lord Arceus creating Universe. But with all the different Realms and worlds, it didn't have life. All these worlds at the time was Initially, a molten ball of rock formed from cosmic debris. And it was not ready for life to exist on it."
[Will of Heaven showed scene of Arecus in space studying all the Relams and worlds in it. He spotted a intresting thing, he saw special spaces throughout universe.]
[Arecus muttered."So Douluo Gods Relam."]
God's Realm
God of Destruction Hui Mie seeing this muttered."So when Lord Arceus created the Universe. Divine Relams across the universe also formed."
God Of Destruction Hui Mie already accepted Arecus as his Lord Creator, even to some extent his father.
Sheng Ming agreed with her husband, while Xie E and Shan Liang also agreed.
But Asura not so much, he was rebellious of them all. But he knew he was not capable of going against someone of Arceus level.
Spirit Hall Council Room
Qian Daoliu muttered."So that's how the God's Realm."
Bibi Dong was also present watched everything with great concentration.
Golden Crocodile Douluo questioned."But what are those seeds in God's Realm."
Qian Daoliu answered."I am not sure."
[Will of Heavens continued showing these
five seeds that took root and sprouted in the Divine Realm. These five seeds were: Kindness, Evil, Life, Destruction, and Asura.]
[Arceus stood amid the nascent universe's swirling energies, Dialga and Palkia materializing at his side—time and space incarnate, their draconic forms shimmering with cosmic authority.]
[Arceus gestured to five radiant seeds hovering before him. "These are the future God Kings: Asura God of Slaughter, Hui Mei God of Destruction, Sheng Ming Goddess of Life, Xie E God of Evil, and Shan Liang Goddess of Kindness. Over the coming millennium of growth, these seeds will awaken wisdom. They form this world's five starting points—the supreme gods of the Divine Realm."]
[Dialga's eyes pierced the time-streams. [My Lord, I see through the river of time. These God Kings become enforcers of the God Realm, upholding its rule. Should we awaken them now?]
God Realm
In the ethereal expanse of the God Realm, the supreme deities gathered, their divine auras rippling like stardust.
Shan Liang—Goddess of Kindness—murmured softly, eyes wide. "So that's us?"
Hui Mie, God of Destruction, narrowed his eyes sharply. "Even if Lord Arceus discovered us, he chose not to awaken us then. Our consciousness stirred a millennium later. Why the delay?"
Xie E, God of Evil, he shook his head and said. "I don't think he feared our meager strength back then? Arceus, he is Creator of Realms, he wouldn't beintimidated by seeds?.... It's something else."
Asura God, ever perceptive, shook his head. He agreed with Xie E—Something else weighed on the Creator's choice.
"Let's keep watching," Asura commanded, gaze fixed on the Sky Curtain.
[The Sky Curtain shimmered on—Arceus gazing at the five radiant seeds, Dialga and Palkia awaiting command.]
[Arceus shook his head firmly. "Don't awaken them. Let nature take its course."]
[He paused, eyes lingering on the purple aura of the Destruction seed amid the cluster. "Also, of them all, Destruction is the only dependable one. The rest would shirk duties or spark chaos with rebellious attitudes."]
Arceus's words stunned the Douluo Continent—especially the God Realm, where divine auras flickered in disbelief.
God Realm
All God Kings turned to Destruction God Hui Mie, who flushed faintly embarrassed. Arceus-level praise as "dependable"? A testament to character.
Life Goddess Sheng Ming felt mixed: joy for her husband, a twinge of jealousy.
Kindness Goddess Shan Liang frowned. "Why the negative view regarding the rest of us?"
Evil God Xie E sighed. "What did we do?"
Slaughter God Asura pondered. "The Dragon God incident?"
Destruction God Hui Mie shook his head. "Doubtful—I was involved too. Lord Arceus is implying something else."
He addressed the void. "Will of Heaven, why does Lord Arceus have a poor impression of Shan Liang, Xie E, Sheng Ming, and Asura?"
Will of Heaven:"I won't spoil much, but Arceus peered into futures, he saw somethings he deemed wrong. Your fellow God Kings took stances and decisions harming God Realm and Douluo Dalu gravely. Although you knew something was not right, but you couldn't halt the conspiracy."
God Realm
Destruction God Hui Mie frowned. "What did you all do to earn that from Lord Arceus?"
Goddess Of Life Sheng Ming shook her head. "No idea."
Shan Liang and Xie E nodded agreement; Xie E added, "Sky Curtain's our only clue."
Asura stayed silent, staring at the Curtain. Did my Fake Son of Plane project backfire?
Unlike Tang San's dominance cravings, Asura sought God Realm improvement—crafting the artificial successor to draw talents. Now worry gnawed.
Did that bastard Tang San ruin everything? Asura brooded.
Spirit Hall, Council Room
Qian Daoliu stared at the Sky Curtain, grand crown glinting. "So these are the God Realm's enforcers and God Kings. Born at universe's dawn—not human. Seeds blossoming into gods. They are Potent, but at the end flawed."
Qian Renxue leaned in, curious. "Flawed how, Grandfather?"
Qian Daoliu smiled wryly. "They lack human perspective. Decisions flow from divine whims, not mortal struggles. Human gods—like Angel God—temper rulings with empathy, cycles of life and death. These being?....They are Eternal, probably more detached. They probably only make descisions linked to God's Realm."
Bibi Dong nodded sharply. Hall of Worship elders murmured agreement.
Shrek Academy
Tang San watched the Sky Curtain intently, Xiao Wu nestled close, Ma Hongjun munching idly, Oscar fiddling with a sausage, Dai Mubai arms crossed. Flender and Zhao Wuji loomed behind, faces grim.
Tang San muttered thoughtfully, "God Kings—the peak strength of the God Realm. But they're beings born at the universe's start. They are seeds of universe, they are not forged from mortal trials."
Xiao Wu grinned playfully. "Maybe we can aim to become gods too."
Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai chuckled, taking it as a joke. Flender adjusted his glasses with a wry smile. "Good to have ambitious goals."
Tang San stayed silent, ambition burning deeper—he eyed Asura's path as his true target. Unbeknownst to him, Asura was already withdrawing his investment on Tang San, especially after seeds of doubt sprouting from Sky Curtain.
Stardou Forest, Outer Ring.
Ye Xiu knew Will of Heaven was talking about after Tang San became new Sea God and new Asura God. He started gathering a lot of influence and followers, this mainly happend for two reasons his background was already set by Asura as heroic figure, who stopped the evil Spirit Hall. Added the whole Dual Godship created a filter for many gods, especially GodKings like Sheng Ming, Xie E and Shan Liang.
Ye Xiu saw in timeline, Xie E and Shan Liang would actually give up there God position and votes to Tang San because of this, this Tang San influence only grew.
But God of Destruction, Hui Mie was able to sense something amiss with Tang San. But he was not able to pinpoint it.
Also, Hui mie felt other party held too much power, but he didn't say anything at that time.
He wanted to expand the divine realm so that many gods would be allowed to enter the divine realm. But that idea was rejected by Tang San who had premonition that something bad would happen to the divine realm.
Thus Hui Mie led a rebellion, he threatened Tang San with pregnant Xiao Wu who was about to deliver. After Tang San surrendered, he sealed him and turned him into an ordinary god. He was afraid of not to be able to seal Tang San with his strength alone, he used the forbidden power of the Forbidden Land that imprisoned the Golden Dragon King. That seal was very powerful that no God King in the Divine Realm could be able to unseal. But, the seal was unsealed by Tang San using the cord blood of his newborn child, Tang Wulin.
The usage of the forbidden power led the escape of the Golden Dragon King. The divine realm was also almost destroyed by the Space-Time Turbulent. Realizing his fault, he sacrificed his life together with Sheng Ming, to stabilize the divine realm. Before he died, he entrusted the God of Destruction Seed to Tang San to choose for his successor.
Now here comes the issue, Tang San, with his fused Sea God and Asura God senses along divination, didn't just have a vague "premonition"—he foresaw the exact timeline: Hui Mie's impatience would crack the Forbidden Land's seal, freeing the Golden Dragon King precisely when Wulin's birth blood could bind its essence. By publicly rejecting expansion and asking for "one more year," Tang San baited Hui Mie into acting rashly, knowing the elder God King's ego as the "oldest" ruler would never tolerate a junior's delay. This wasn't caution; it was a trap disguised as reluctance, ensuring Hui Mie would tap forbidden power out of desperation.
Threatening Xiao Wu's pregnancy? Too convenient. Tang San "surrenders" instantly, but only after ensuring Hui Mie overextends by using the Golden Dragon seal—knowing no single God King could hold him otherwise. The umbilical cord blood "miraculously" unseals Tang San? Wulin's birth was timed perfectly, his blood infused with latent Asura essence from the womb, making it the ideal counter-key. Hui Mie's fear of Tang San's strength forced the forbidden release, handing Wulin the dragon core on a platter—accidental my ass.
Hui Mie and Sheng Ming's sacrifice stabilizes the realm? Tang San receives the Destruction Seed "unexpectedly," passing it to Wulin later—cementing a bloodline monopoly on god positions. The Space-Time Turbulence nearly destroys everything? Collateral to mask the real goal: purging old-guard gods like Hui Mie, who challenged Tang San's dynasty. No other God King could unseal it, yet Wulin's blood does—proof Tang San embedded the solution in his lineage centuries ahead, playing 4D chess while Hui Mie thought he was checkmating.
Ye Xiu thought."You were to green Destruction for manipulative figure like Tang San."
