Tang San stared blankly at the scene before him.
Time had passed, and though he was now filled with grief and anger, he could no longer cry out those two words with the same fiery passion he once had in his youth.
Huo Yu'er had no interest in such melodramatic displays.
After learning from Ye Wen about Tang San's schemes and Tang Wulin's past attitudes toward her, Huo Yu'er now only wanted one thing—to kill this man before her.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Huo Yu'er didn't use any elaborate techniques. Instead, she unleashed her divine energy to its God King-level peak.
"It's over!"
With a flash of dazzling silver light, the small world of the Asura Temple was split in two by a single sword strike, and Tang San was utterly reduced to ash.
In his final moments, Tang San reflected deeply.
At some point, he had gone terribly wrong.
If only he hadn't been so calculating, if only he hadn't been so greedy…
Perhaps he could have seen a broader world like the God King of Destruction and the others.
With this, the power of the Douluo God Realm had finally completed its transition.
Whether in his original world or this one, Ye Wen found it absurd that so many gods were stuck at the Tier-3 level for so long without breaking through. Each of them was supposed to be a chosen child of heaven—how could they be so lazy and foolish?
After thoroughly plundering the wealth of the Douluo God Realm, Ye Wen unleashed his ultimate divine skill—the Spatial Exile.
As the Douluo God Realm, created by the ancient Dragon God, vanished entirely from this universe, the 108 worlds it had anchored were finally liberated, signaling the beginning of a new journey.
Years later, Huo Yu'er inherited vast knowledge about Ye Wen's world and its God Realm, sparking a technological explosion in this once-remote corner of the cosmos.
At this point, Ye Wen could proudly tell Huo Yu'er:
"Little Yu'er, you've finally graduated. From now on, this world is yours to lead."
Huo Yu'er seemed to realize something, her gaze dropping as she spoke softly to Ye Wen:
"Master, do you really have to leave?"
Ye Wen chuckled lightly, his eyes filled with the weight of time as he nodded.
"Everyone has their own mission, and I've already done what I needed to do.
If I interfere further, I'd only drag this universe—which should now embark on a new path—toward becoming just like my own world.
That's not what this world wants, nor is it what I want. Huo Yu'er, you are undoubtedly my most outstanding disciple. The time has come for you to shine with your own brilliance."
Huo Yu'er fell silent for a long moment before letting out a resigned sigh and bowing slightly to Ye Wen.
"Master, thank you for all your guidance over the years. No matter where you go, I will never forget your teachings."
Ye Wen calmly accepted Huo Yu'er's gratitude, but after raising her for so long, how could he truly let go so easily?
At this moment, Ye Wen slowly raised his hand, handing Huo Yu'er a crystal containing the coordinates of a planet and detailed information about his own timeline.
"Keep growing stronger, Little Yu'er. When you conquer this planet, you'll earn the right to see me again."
Looking at the crystal in her hand, Huo Yu'er seemed to understand something, her eyes lighting up with joy. Just as she was about to ask Ye Wen more details, he had already disappeared without a trace.
"Master…"
Huo Yu'er whispered softly, her voice filled with longing.
But soon, her gaze hardened. She gripped the crystal tightly, as if afraid it might vanish.
"I'll definitely find you, Master. Wait for me."
As Ye Wen completely departed from this world and returned to his own Douluo Star through the temporal channel he had opened, the already vibrant Douluo Star was instantly bathed in radiant colors. The entire world underwent a slight elevation in its essence.
Ye Wen stood at the pinnacle of the Heaven Beyond Heaven in the Douluo God Realm, watching the changes in Douluo Star. A faint smile slowly spread across his lips.
"It seems my instincts were correct. The key to Douluo Star's ascension lies in enriching its own laws.
What do you think, Xue'er?"
Turning, Ye Wen looked at Xue Di, who sat nearby, exuding an aura of icy elegance and unparalleled nobility.
Xue Di, currently merged with the plane of the world, affirmed Ye Wen's statement.
"Indeed. You've worked hard, Ye Wen."
Ye Wen simply chuckled and shook his head at her polite words.
"We're family. If you're well, I'm well."
The two shared a knowing smile. After so many years as husband and wife, no words were needed—every gesture carried an unspoken understanding.
But soon, Ye Wen sighed.
Upon returning to this world, Ye Wen would have to deal with a difficult issue.
As more planets were colonized across the cosmos, the number of gods under Douluo Star exploded in growth.
This, in turn, required even more planets to satisfy the demand for faith energy. The cycle fed into itself, and the territory of Douluo civilization continued to expand.
This inevitably led to a necessary problem in the development of civilizations.
The universe was vast, and it was impossible for Douluo to be the only god-level civilization. The former Ninja Civilization served as a warning.
Later, the Douluo God Realm encountered several weaker god-level civilizations along the way—some were absorbed, others subdued—but there were no major issues.
However, gods were not omnipotent. Finally, the Douluo God Realm faced its true rival.
A unique god-level civilization—the Demon Heaven Civilization.
Like Douluo and Kaguya, this civilization also relied on gathering the innate spiritual energy and faith of planets as its core foundation. But what set this civilization apart was its eerie specialization.
It excelled in soul-related abilities.
Fortunately, due to Ye Wen's interference in the evolution of the Douluo world, he had gained the support of Edward Elric, an authority on souls. As a result, the Douluo God Realm was able to fight the Demon Heaven Civilization on equal terms, avoiding being suppressed by their strange powers.
Even so, though the Douluo God Realm wasn't at a disadvantage and its god-level combatants far surpassed the enemy, they still couldn't defeat them.
This was because, aside from their bizarre abilities, the very existence of this civilization was strange. They weren't physical beings like gods powered by divine energy but rather special soul entities capable of traversing dimensional planes. Unless they were specifically prepared for and restricted to direct confrontation, it was nearly impossible to kill them.
Thus, even with Ye Wen's complete return, the stalemate of this war couldn't be broken.
But though the enemy was troublesome, Ye Wen was no pushover either.
"Tell the research department to bring over the samples. Let me take a closer look at these little guys. Things are getting interesting." Rarely showing such enthusiasm, Ye Wen threw himself into his work.
