----------------------
After completely annihilating the god realm, Ye Wen's days weren't particularly comfortable.
Firstly, there was the issue of the Kindness and Evil God Kings in his own world. Ye Wen swiftly sent back his conjectures to the Douluo world he belonged to and alerted Ah Yin and others to be cautious.
Although the Kindness and Evil of this world were powerless against Ye Wen, the timeline Ye Wen resided in had already advanced tens of thousands of years. Moreover, it was a version of them that Ye Wen had heavily empowered using various forms of hyper-modern knowledge and gathered resources from numerous civilizations.
Considering the parasitic nature of the Formless Demons like Kindness and Evil, they might have secretly developed and broken through the constraints of Supreme God Kings, reaching the same level as Ye Wen—the King of God Kings. If these two old-timers secretly obtained the full heritage of the Formless Demon race, it would spell even greater trouble!
In Ye Wen's world, although there was the miraculous technology of shared divine positions, there was still only one King of God Kings—himself.
As for why the hidden Kindness and Evil hadn't retaliated, it was probably because Ye Wen had developed an alternative method to create physical avatars. Although these avatars didn't possess all of Ye Wen's strength, due to the unique properties of his laws and divine power, the strongest among them could reach half of Ye Wen's power, while the weakest still had at least one percent of his strength.
With enough ants, even an elephant can be bitten to death. Coupled with Ye Wen's overwhelming strength, this kept the hidden Kindness and Evil from making a move.
However, now that Ye Wen had "perished," his world had lost its stabilizing pillar.
Thus, Ye Wen was certain that even with his avatars deterring these two old-timers, they were likely itching to reclaim their once supreme authority.
Through subsequent communications, Ye Wen learned from Ah Yin that after his supposed demise, significant unrest had indeed begun. Some Supreme God Kings had mysteriously perished during this period of relative peace.
Fortunately, having been with Ye Wen's family for many years, Ah Yin and the others had cultivated a cautious nature. During this turbulent time, everyone stayed within the Douluo God Realm without venturing out, denying any potential enemy, possibly Kindness and Evil, the chance to exploit the situation.
Later, Ye Wen received more crucial intelligence from Ah Yin, causing his eyes to narrow slightly, exuding a dangerous aura.
"They specifically target Supreme God Kings, huh!? It seems the hidden enemies haven't yet grown strong enough to ignore everyone.
But perhaps this is also a good opportunity. Without destruction, there can be no rebuilding. After tens of thousands of years of development, the Douluo world has bred too many parasites. It's time for a thorough cleansing."
Ye Wen's mind raced, quickly formulating a plan. However, he didn't intend to return to his world immediately.
Although Supreme God King-level Kindness and Evil couldn't lock onto his spatial coordinates, considering the hidden ones who might have broken through to become King of God Kings, they likely possessed the ability to directly lock onto the soul essence of their enemies. The difference between those avatars and himself was still significant. If he returned recklessly, the probability of being discovered by the hidden Kindness and Evil was considerable.
Then, capturing them again would become troublesome.
Ye Wen waited, waiting for Kindness and Evil to reveal themselves, then planning to return at a critical moment to suppress or annihilate them.
Despite having quite a few Supreme God Kings in his world, if they continued to be mysteriously wiped out, Ye Wen would still feel the loss deeply.
After all, cultivating a Supreme God King required no small amount of resources.
Moreover, talent and opportunity were equally indispensable. His own son and Bibi Dong hadn't yet broken through to become Supreme God Kings.
Thus, while planning a major purge of the Douluo Planet's power structure, Ye Wen also issued commands to Ah Yin and Xue Di to recall the Supreme God Kings and consolidate their forces.
After dealing with matters in his own world, Ye Wen finally had the mental energy to focus on the current world.
Due to Ye Wen's immense display of power, Douluo Planet exhibited its terrifying combat capabilities. However, the aftermath of Ye Wen's power caused widespread destruction across Douluo Continent.
Now, Douluo Continent was undergoing post-disaster reconstruction. But thanks to the presence of the Pantheon and the Douluo Federation, Ye Wen didn't need to spend much thought on it.
Looking at the war-torn Douluo Continent, Ye Wen sighed.
"This is the real-life version of 'when gods fight, mortals suffer.' Even though I tried to hold back my strength, so many civilians still perished?"
However, while Ye Wen lamented the plight of ordinary people, he also felt the increasingly concentrated faith energy resulting from this suffering and decided not to interfere further.
These commoners were ignorant, unaware of who had caused their suffering, and were blindly placing their faith elsewhere, unknowingly worshiping the very person responsible for their plight—Ye Wen himself.
But what could Ye Wen do? He could only accelerate the cultural development of Douluo Planet.
In Ye Wen's view, the gods' reliance on the faith of common people was both despicable and foolish.
All things in heaven and earth, all energies converge; with sufficient means, anything could be converted into divine power. Ye Wen himself had developed technology to convert solar energy into divine power. Unfortunately, the gods of this world were too lazy and stupid to bother.
After surveying Douluo Continent, Ye Wen found no major issues; everything was proceeding with reconstruction as planned. With peace of mind, he returned to the Blue Silver Forest, the current headquarters of the Pantheon.
Although the Pantheon originated from the Spirit Hall, it was not the same entity, so distinguishing between the two was necessary.
Not wanting to waste resources on a grand scale, Ye Wen chose to establish a simple headquarters for the Pantheon within the Blue Silver Forest, which was entirely inhabited by Blue Silver Grass spirit beasts.
The overseer of this headquarters was handed over to Ah Yin.
On one hand, Ah Yin was the Blue Silver Emperor, capable of using her Blue Silver Domain to detect any external threats without blind spots. Of course, given the current status of the Pantheon, no one dared to cause trouble here.
More importantly, Ye Wen was preparing the groundwork for constructing the future power structure of Douluo Planet.
The rule pitting humans against spirit beasts on Douluo Planet was absurd, creating deep-seated enmity between the two factions for countless years.
Yet, Ye Wen's wives included both humans and spirit beasts transformed into human forms. This meant Ye Wen couldn't simply side with humans.
Personal factors aside, Ye Wen believed that if Douluo Planet wanted to reach its peak—not necessarily rivaling his own world but at least matching Huo Yu'er's world—it needed to unify the high-level forces of humans and spirit beasts into a multi-racial Douluo Federation.
In both Ye Wen's and Huo Yu'er's worlds, such multi-racial federations were established under the suppression of top-tier powers like Ye Wen and Huo Yu'er.
In this Douluo world, where powers were evenly matched and perspectives narrow-minded, Ye Wen was certain that without someone like him holding things together, chaos would ensue after his departure.
The source of potential turmoil would naturally be the exceptionally powerful Silver Dragon King.
But the Silver Dragon King happened to be the counterpart of his wife, making it difficult for Ye Wen to act directly. He could only leave it to Gu Yuena and the other women to resolve on their own.
Through their exchanges, Ye Wen was surprised to learn that Gu Yuena and Na'er had not chosen to directly absorb this world's Silver Dragon King to augment themselves. Instead, Na'er had refined this world's Silver Dragon King into an avatar.
What did this mean? That she, as a fragment of the Silver Dragon King, turned the Silver Dragon King into her own fragment?
At first, Ye Wen was utterly baffled. Although this world's Silver Dragon King was said to be half of the Dragon God, his strength was at most that of a high-tier God King. Coupled with the injuries left by the Asura God, maintaining his God King level was already impressive. Why go to such lengths to turn him into a puppet when the input far outweighed the output?
Soon, however, Ye Wen understood Na'er's reasoning.
"I'm really tired of being dual-bodied with Gu Yuena for so long. Besides, during the battle with the Ancestral Formless Demon, she held me back. I want to try fully refining this world's Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, replenishing my essence to transform into the true Dragon God," Na'er coquettishly explained.
Beside her, Gu Yuena merely rolled her eyes, mature and composed, refraining from competing for attention.
But Ye Wen immediately saw through Na'er's pretense. What holding back? Her real goal was breaking through to become a Supreme God King.
Unlike Gu Yuena, who had already reached Supreme God King status, Na'er remained stuck at level 149.
Currently, Gu Yuena's divine law was Creation, while Na'er's was Elements.
In Ye Wen's world, Supreme God Kings of various elemental laws had already emerged. Though Na'er had references, she couldn't break through the 150-level barrier.
Previously preoccupied with work, Ye Wen had overlooked this. Now, it seemed that as Gu Yuena's former half, Na'er was missing some crucial element, preventing her breakthrough.
After careful deliberation, Ye Wen agreed with Na'er's plan.
Cosmic Void—
Though Ye Wen and the two women could easily crush the Dragon Kings, the already war-torn Douluo Continent couldn't bear more destruction. Therefore, Ye Wen brought the Silver and Gold Dragon Kings to the cosmic void for refinement.
Due to their shared origin, and Na'er's strength far surpassing the Silver Dragon King, who was currently in a state of absolute rationality—or perhaps lacking a heart—she believed that Na'er's absorption of her could lead the dragon race to a better future, thus abandoning resistance.
The Silver Dragon King's consciousness was quickly absorbed by Na'er, becoming part of her.
After completing the refinement, a flash of coldness and ruthlessness passed through Na'er's eyes. She quickly shed the absolutely rational but foolish persona, reverting to her original clingy personality around Ye Wen.
Ye Wen smiled indulgently, then took out the barrier sealing the Gold Dragon King.
Because Ye Wen had arrived in time to prevent the god realm core explosion, even though the god realm collapsed, the Gold Dragon King remained locked in the cage set up by the gods.
Unlike the Silver Dragon King, who inherited the rational creation aspect of the Dragon God, the Gold Dragon King appeared entirely irrational, initially brimming with destructive energy.
However, upon seeing Na'er, his ferocity gradually subsided. His originally chaotic eyes seemed to gain clarity, accepting his fate. Finally, he sat dignified within the barrier, calmly awaiting his demise.
In that instant, Ye Wen seemed to sense the dignity befitting the dragon race emanating from the Gold Dragon King.
But victory belonged to the strong. Ye Wen harbored no sentimental thoughts, directly shattering the barrier imprisoning the Gold Dragon King while saying to Na'er,
"Go ahead, Na'er."
Na'er instinctively nodded, intending to casually refine the Gold Dragon King.
But the moment the barrier shattered, the previously resigned Gold Dragon King's eyes blazed with ferocity again. With a heaven-shaking roar, he charged straight at Na'er!
Seeing this, Ye Wen and the two women were momentarily startled but quickly realized what the Gold Dragon King was trying to accomplish.
Like the previous Silver Dragon King, although appearing lively, the Gold Dragon King had also suffered at the hands of the gods and was currently injured.
Had it not been for inheriting the Dragon God's terrifying body, the gods would have outright killed him instead of sealing him away.
Even so, the Gold Dragon King's strength was at most that of a high-tier God King.
Facing Na'er at her peak, and having grown infinitely close to Supreme God King status after refining the Silver Dragon King, the Gold Dragon King had no chance from the start.
Just as his earlier dignity was for the dragon race's honor, his final rebellion was for its pride.
Realizing this, Ye Wen and Gu Yuena refrained from intervening.
Seven-colored divine light radiated from Na'er's eyes. The dazzling silver dragon spear instantly materialized in her hand. Just as the Gold Dragon King was about to bite her with his massive jaws, Na'er thrust fiercely, pinning him firmly in the void.
Though mortally wounded, the Gold Dragon King attempted a last-ditch struggle.
However, the silver dragon spear was Na'er's life-bound divine artifact, possessing various elemental powers and, more importantly, devouring abilities.
At this moment, the Gold Dragon King's soul was firmly pinned by the silver dragon spear. As Na'er channeled her divine power, his body began convulsing violently, but to no avail. In moments, he was completely devoured by Na'er.
Subsequently, Na'er refined the Gold Dragon King's body.
Staring at the two dragon king bodies floating before her, Na'er took a deep breath and looked at Ye Wen.
Ye Wen smiled confidently. "Feel free to merge and refine them. I'll keep watch."
Ye Wen naturally knew what Na'er was worried about—the hidden soul of the Dragon God.
But even though he wasn't at full strength, dealing with a mere soul remnant of the Dragon God, devoid of any divine artifacts?
