God Realm, Sea God's Residence.
"Third Brother, what's wrong? Why the long face? Did something happen?"
A woman with rabbit ears atop her head looked at her husband with a hint of worry, her words filled with concern.
Beside her, a man with long blue hair remained silent for a moment before flashing a smile. "It's nothing, Xiao Wu. Just a small matter."
The blue-haired man spoke with an air of calm indifference, yet a tempest was already raging in his heart.
What on earth happened?! Why did the destiny of the Child of Fate suddenly vanish?! Why?!
Who exactly is sabotaging my ten-thousand-year grand plan?!
The Child of Fate, born from the accumulation of destiny by the will of the Douluo world over ten thousand years, was supposed to be the key to my complete control over the Douluo world. But why has a hitch appeared at this very moment?!
Tang San fell into a brief silence.
Right now, that power of destiny—which should have been used to catalyze the birth of the Child of Fate—had been transformed by the Douluo Will into a thick barrier of fate, completely enveloping the entire Douluo Planet.
Even with his shocking cultivation as a God King, he could not break through this barrier of fate to see clearly everything happening on Douluo Planet at this moment.
This feeling of things slipping out of his control made Tang San inexplicably uncomfortable.
"By the way, Third Brother, have you seen Xiao Qi? I haven't seen her lately."
"Ah, Xiao Qi? Didn't she say before that she wanted to see the lower realm? So, I let her go down. It's just as well; she needs some tempering and experience."
"What? This..."
"Don't worry, with Da Ming and Er Ming protecting her, Xiao Qi will be fine." Tang San gently patted his wife, offering soft words of comfort.
At the same time, an idea naturally surfaced.
—Since this barrier of fate won't let me see clearly from the outside, then... wouldn't it work if I just go inside to look?
The corners of Tang San's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes flashing with a light called "Shocking Wisdom."
...
Also in the God Realm, at Rong Nianbing's residence.
At this moment, Rong Nianbing was slightly silent. He could clearly feel that his Divine Position had undergone a slight change and had conveyed a message to him.
—Successor to the Divine Position has been found.
Rong Nianbing: ????
Wait, brother?
Where did they come from?
How come I didn't know I had an extra successor? And looking at that fleeting guidance of breath, it seems to be in the Douluo realm?
Rong Nianbing fell into deep thought.
...
Star Constellation Great Forest, the Lake of Life.
A large golden cat-like creature raised its head in confusion.
Just a moment ago, she felt a power of destiny very similar to her own suddenly appear, but not long after, that power went dormant again.
This situation left her exceptionally frustrated.
"Uncle Di Tian... I still feel like what I sensed wasn't an illusion. It was real. A very large power of destiny, even more similar to mine, suddenly appeared. It was like... like a kindred spirit!"
The large golden cat raised her two front paws, gesturing toward a middle-aged man dressed in black robes not far away.
However, the black-robed man's face showed the helpless expression of an old father.
"Auspicious Beast, you have been responsible for carrying the destiny of the entire Star Constellation Great Forest since birth. How could there be a kindred spirit like you? Besides—"
"I felt it too."
A majestic and cold voice drifted from the Lake of Life, interrupting Di Tian's words.
Di Tian was stunned. Upon sensing that familiar aura, joy instantly spread across his face, and he hurriedly turned to kneel on one knee.
"My Lord, you are awake?"
The large golden cat blinked, not quite understanding the situation. She followed the direction of Di Tian's kneeling and saw a silver-white dragon phantom slowly condensing, eventually transforming into an exquisitely beautiful young girl.
"Lord Sister!"
The Three-eyed Golden Lion's three eyes widened slightly, a hint of joy flowing through her gaze.
The girl did not respond to the Three-eyed Golden Lion. Instead, step by step, she trod upon the Lake of Life, walking slowly to stand before the Three-eyed Golden Lion. She rubbed the lion's fluffy head before finally looking at the nearby Di Tian.
"When the power of destiny of the Douluo world suddenly fluctuated just now, I sensed a power appear that was similar to the Auspicious Beast's destiny but even more powerful."
"The specific coordinates—I have recorded them."
Hearing this, Di Tian asked doubtfully, "A fluctuation in destiny... could it be some scheme by that group of gods in the God Realm?"
"Probably not... however, I did indeed perceive two different divine auras. One... seems related to emotions; the other carries the breath of death and light."
"But both of these auras are very weak and are nothing to fear."
The silver-haired girl spoke softly, her gaze shifting from the enjoying golden cat to Di Tian.
"During the time I am away, you shall govern the Star Constellation Great Forest."
"My Lord, what are you...?"
Di Tian looked at the girl in shock and alarm, yet she looked calmly toward the distant sky.
"I am going to see for myself exactly what happened."
She did not reveal everything she had perceived.
For example, the luck accumulated by the Douluo world over ten thousand years now seemed to be staking everything on a single throw, forming a luck barrier outside the Douluo realm that could last for at least fifty years.
Within these fifty years, unless the gods of the God Realm destroy the entire Douluo world along with it, they will be unable to spy on anything within!
Fifty years was just a fraction of a nap for a Soul Beast like her, but for those humans, it was enough time to create a god...
"It is time to go out and see..."
The silver-haired girl murmured softly, her figure flickering as she vanished from the spot.
...
Meanwhile, three thousand meters underground at the outskirts of the Star Constellation Great Forest, a large, pale white worm was curling its entire body into a ball, shivering violently.
However, after shivering for a long time, she didn't see any of those terrifying bastards who suck her energy appear.
She blinked, the mist in her eyes slowly dissipating, then she cautiously extended her Mental Power toward the outside world.
"Eh-wuh? They're gone! Phew, scared me to death. I thought that big black dragon had come to catch me again!"
The big white worm breathed a sigh of relief, extended a short tentacle to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then without hesitation, continued to turn and wiggle her fat body toward the outer reaches of the forest.
As she wriggled, the big white worm made ruthless vows in her heart...
Hmph! Just you wait! Thirty thousand years East of the River, thirty thousand years West of the River! When I, Sister Skydream, complete my cultivation and return, see if I don't hang you all up and beat you!
"BOOM!"
"Eek!"
Another terrifying fluctuation appeared. The ruthless vows in her heart instantly halted. Fearful tears welled up in the big white worm's eyes again as she began to wriggle toward the outskirts of the Star Constellation Great Forest even more desperately!
I was wrong! Don't eat me! I'll never dare to do it again!!!
