Gu Yue nodded: "The Myriad Beast Platform relies on the small plane they created as its Foundation, combined with my Dragon God Heart, to operate stably. However, this small plane is now effectively under their control."
Huo Yuhao did not look particularly surprised upon hearing this; instead, he curled his lips slightly: "The two of them are nothing to worry about. Now that the Divine Realm is gone, they can at most unleash the strength of a Quasi-God on the Douluo Continent. Once I become a god, I can resolve them with a wave of my hand."
The smile on his face faded slightly, replaced by a more serious tone: "However, Tang San's methods are not limited to these. The Golden Tree of Shrek Academy is the life core of the Douluo Plane, but it was later devoured by Tang San's mother."
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed through Gu Yue's purple eyes: "Blue Silver Emperor?!"
As a Ten Thousand Years Spirit Beast that once belonged to the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yue naturally knew of Ah Yin.
Thinking of her, Gu Yue's feelings were somewhat complicated. She had not expected that a Spirit Beast who left Star Dou would end up becoming the mother of a God King.
Gu Yue was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Shrek has been destroyed, and the Golden Tree is no longer there... Then what about Ah Yin now?"
Huo Yuhao glanced out the window, in the direction of Shrek Academy, and replied in a calm tone: "With the plane gone, Tang San can no longer influence the Lower Realm. Naturally, he would not have foreseen that Shrek Academy would suffer an attack from a level-twelve Fixed-Mount Soul-Guided Shell."
"Ah Yin's strength is not weak, but at the time, she was in the middle of devouring the plane's core and had not yet fully succeeded; she simply could not escape in time."
"I can still sense her aura at the bottom of the Sea God Lake at Shrek Academy, but it is already extremely weak."
"Her influence is now almost negligible."
Speaking of which, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh: "Tang San probably never imagined that his own arrangements almost cost his own mother her life."
A flash of heaviness crossed Gu Yue's eyes. Previously, she had always thought that after the Divine Realm disappeared, she would be able to do whatever she wanted on the Douluo Continent.
Only now did she realize that the Sea God Tang San, who had walked out from this continent, had long ago buried many hidden lines on this land that she had not noticed.
Her wariness toward that God King was deepening layer by layer.
She then slowly opened her mouth to say: "Tang San's arrangements should not be limited to these."
Huo Yuhao nodded: "That's right, Tang Wulin carries Tang San's Divine Thought."
Hearing this, Gu Yue's gaze flickered slightly.
She had already learned Tang Wulin's true identity from Huo Yuhao, and she hadn't expected that this "little companion" with whom she had had many interactions was actually the son of the Sea God Tang San.
Looking at Gu Yue's slightly furrowed brow, Huo Yuhao suddenly curled his lips and joked: "Maybe Tang San's father was also placed on the Douluo Continent by him, and who knows which corner he is hiding in right now."
Gu Yue couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, saying: "How is that possible?"
Obviously, she could tell that Huo Yuhao was joking.
...
The destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult was something Xu Tianran had not anticipated at all.
The reason he chose to cooperate with this Evil Soul Master organization in the first place was precisely because he valued their strength.
Not to mention anything else, just having two Limit Douluo sitting in command was enough for the Holy Spirit Cult to walk sideways across the entire continent.
He had originally thought that with such a powerful ally by his side, the Sun Moon Empire's path of expansion would go much more smoothly.
But what he hadn't expected was that in just one day, the entire Holy Spirit Cult would be wiped out.
For the Sun Moon Empire, which was in the midst of expansion and aggression, this was tantamount to cutting off one of its own arms.
Without the assistance of those powerful Evil Soul Masters, the Sun Moon Empire's pace of invasion was thwarted once again, and even some of the territory it had previously conquered had recently been recaptured by the Three Douluo Nations.
The war remained deadlocked. The Sun Moon Empire was fighting three nations at once, consuming its national strength heavily, and could only continuously increase taxes to maintain the war's consumption.
At first, the people within the Sun Moon Empire, because the old emperor had been assassinated, were full of anger toward the Three Douluo Nations and supported this war of revenge.
But by now, they discovered that the revenge had not yet been achieved, but their own purses were about to be unable to be kept.
Consequently, large-scale protests and demonstrations had recently broken out within the Sun Moon Empire, and the public's enthusiasm for the war was rapidly cooling.
If nothing unexpected happened, this war should not last much longer.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao, who had returned from Ten Thousand Years later, had not paid much attention to the changes in the situation on the continent during this period.
He was well aware of the tug-of-war on the battlefields and the games between nations.
Now, the only question he cared about most was: when would the Ninth Trial of the God of Destruction finally descend?
In the end, Huo Yuhao, unable to hold back, took the initiative to contact the God of Destruction in the Divine Realm through the Scepter of Destruction.
And at this moment, in the Divine Realm, the God of Destruction was busy.
Divine Realm, Destruction Temple.
The light in the vast hall was dim, with only a few clusters of dark purple divine fire floating high at the dome, shrouding the entire hall in a quiet and cold halo.
The God of Destruction sat high on his throne, his scarlet eyes like a pair of burning dark stars, looking down at the only figure standing in the vast hall below.
That was a man with an extremely sturdy build, broad shoulders and a thick back, wearing magnificent and heavy armor.
He stood there like a silent mountain, giving people a sense of dignity and solemnity.
But if one were to look closely at his face, one would find that the face half-hidden by the helmet actually carried a hint of simple honesty, as if it didn't quite match that heavy armor.
However, at this moment, what surged in his eyes was a complex set of emotions, containing guilt, remorse, and a kind of indescribable struggle.
"Why?!"
The voice of the God of Destruction echoed in the hall, carrying a kind of anger suppressed beneath the silence.
"Ever since you ascended to the Divine Realm, I have always taken good care of you and cultivated you as my confidant."
"But you were secretly passing messages to Tang San and colluding with him. Do you think you are worthy of me?"
The sturdy man standing in the temple at this moment was none other than the God of Power of the Divine Realm, Zhou Weiqing.
The Sea God Tang San had already fallen, but the God of Destruction's actions had not ended.
The Sea God was his greatest enemy, but the God of Destruction, having received memories from Ten Thousand Years later, was most furious about the betrayal of the God of Power.
If it weren't for Zhou Weiqing, his plans Ten Thousand Years later might have succeeded, and he should have been the final winner!
Therefore, after secret investigations, he finally discovered the evidence of Zhou Weiqing secretly contacting Tang San, which led to this scene.
Facing the questioning of the God of Destruction, the God of Power Zhou Weiqing was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, as if gathering enough courage for himself.
Subsequently, he slowly raised his head, looking at the figure shrouded in purple-black light on the throne, and said with an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, God King."
"After coming to the Divine Realm, you did indeed provide me with much help, and you are my benefactor."
"But when I was in the Lower Realm, the Sea God had already helped me, saving my life and the lives of my family; he is an even greater benefactor to me."
"Moreover, at that time, the Sea God even wanted to pass the Asura God Position to me, but I refused it myself."
