“Healing, purification, enhancement… three in one!” Ling Ye’s eyes burst with even more dazzling light.
“Ultimate Life is absolutely not just about being a ‘healer’! It’s practically a perpetual motion machine, and a status remover on the battlefield!”
In his left hand, he held the power of Destruction, capable of leveling cities and fortresses, annihilating everything.
In his right hand, he held the power of Life, able to revive the dead and nourish all living things.
One presided over slaughter, the other ruled over creation.
“Perfect… simply perfect!” Ling Ye was extremely satisfied with this sacrifice.
…
The Divine Realm, the supreme plane above Soul Land, was the source of all rules and order.
Colorful auspicious clouds swirled around, and immortal cranes danced gracefully; the air was thick with dense divine power, as if it could be touched at will.
At the center of this tranquil and sacred domain stood a towering, magnificent palace—the intersection of the Forest of Life and the Castle of Destruction.
Hum—
Suddenly, an extremely faint yet exceptionally clear ripple penetrated through layers of spatial barriers, transmitting from the distant mortal realm.
This ripple actually contained both the ultimate brilliance of Life and the ultimate intent of Destruction.
These two diametrically opposed forces were perfectly fused together, like the Yin-Yang fish, stirring up ripples within the sensory network of the Divine Realm.
Deep within the Forest of Life, a woman wearing an emerald green robe, possessing peerless beauty and radiating a maternal glow, slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes seemed to contain boundless vitality; with just a single glance, she could make withered wood burst forth with the breath of spring.
She was one of the Five Supreme God-Kings of the Divine Realm—the Goddess of Life.
“Destruction, did you sense that?”
The Goddess of Life slightly parted her vermilion lips.
Her voice was soft and pleasant, like a clear mountain stream flowing through one’s heart.
She reached out a slender, jade-like hand and gently stroked a strand of hair by her ear.
A flash of surprise and delight appeared in her beautiful eyes.
“Hmph, I’m neither deaf nor blind. Of course I sensed it!”
Accompanied by a cold snort, a purple-black figure appeared out of thin air beside the Goddess of Life.
The newcomer wore a purple-black cloak, its hood covering his face, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with a dark red light.
The enforcer of the Divine Realm, one of the Five Supreme God-Kings—the God of Destruction.
At this moment, within the eyes of this God-King, usually known for his cold and tyrannical nature, a rare trace of fanaticism flashed.
“This is not just ultimate Life. That pure, ultimate power of Destruction even startles me!”
The God of Destruction’s voice was low and hoarse, carrying an unconcealable excitement: “Truly a miracle! These two completely opposite forces, which would cause a massive explosion with even the slightest carelessness, have actually fused perfectly within a single mortal!”
“Indeed…” The Goddess of Life nodded slightly.
Her gaze seemed to pierce through the endless void, landing upon Soul Land.
“That child radiates a life aura as pure as a newborn sprout of the World Tree. I think… I shall choose her as my successor.”
As she spoke, a hint of determination emerged in the Goddess of Life’s tone.
As one of the most ancient deities in the Divine Realm, she had searched for countless ages but had never been able to find an heir perfectly suited for her divine position.
And now, the appearance of this girl in the lower realm seemed like the greatest gift heaven could bestow upon her.
“You want to choose her too?” The God of Destruction abruptly turned his head, the red light under his hood flashing violently.
“What a coincidence. I’ve also taken a liking to this girl! Although her Destruction attribute is still very immature, that artistic philosophy of hers—destroying everything to rebuild—is practically tailor-made for me, the God of Destruction!”
The two God-Kings exchanged a glance.
A faint tension, like the smell of gunpowder, instantly filled the air.
“But…” The Goddess of Life’s elegant brows furrowed slightly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.
“For two God-Kings to simultaneously choose the same person as an heir—this is unprecedented in the history of the Divine Realm. Moreover, wouldn’t this provoke dissatisfaction among the other gods?”
“Dissatisfaction? What right do they have to be dissatisfied?!”
The God of Destruction sneered coldly.
Purple-black divine thunder of Destruction crackled around him, revealing his arrogant nature.
“Didn’t that old fellow Asura and that sly Sea God Poseidon also join hands to bet on a kid named Tang San? What? Officials can set fires, but commoners can’t even light a lamp? My wife and I have finally found such a promising seedling, and we should just hand her over to someone else?”
At this moment, the aura around the God of Destruction suddenly surged, like an enraged primordial beast: “Worst case scenario, we just fall out with them! For the inheritance of our divine positions, for the future of the Divine Realm, I wouldn’t hesitate even if it means overturning this Divine Realm.”
Seeing her husband’s protective and assertive stance, the Goddess of Life felt warmth in her heart, and her previous hesitation dissipated.
“Destruction, you are right.” The Goddess of Life nodded gently, a determined light shining in her eyes.
“Since that’s the case, what are we waiting for?” The God of Destruction waved his large hand, directly tearing apart the space before him.
“Let’s go! Let’s descend right now and see exactly what kind of divine existence this little girl is, to be able to resonate with both of us at the same time.”
His voice had barely faded when two supreme divine consciousnesses transformed into streaks of green and purple light, instantly breaking through the restraints of the Divine Realm and hurtling towards Soul Land at incredible speed.
…
Star Dou Great Forest, Mixed Zone.
Ling Ye had just finished adapting to Ye Lingling’s body when he suddenly felt a tremor originating from the depths of his soul.
Boom—!
Without any warning, the surrounding space seemed to freeze.
The originally clear sky was instantly dyed a strange purple-green color—one half brimming with vitality, the other deathly still.
Two vast, boundless, and indescribably terrifying pressures descended from the heavens, like two primordial divine mountains.
They completely ignored physical defenses and barged directly into Ye Lingling’s mental world.
“My heavens?! What’s happening?!”
Ling Ye felt his vision go black.
His consciousness was instantly and forcibly dragged back into the sea of consciousness.
Within this private space, which originally belonged only to him and Ye Lingling, two tall figures radiating endless divine light suddenly appeared.
The one on the left, wearing an emerald green robe and exuding a life aura that made one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze, was the Goddess of Life.
The one on the right, draped in a purple-black cloak with despair-inducing lightning of Destruction circling around him, was none other than the God of Destruction.
The two God-Kings stood side by side, looking down from above at the bewildered Ling Ye and the unconscious Ye Lingling beside him.
The atmosphere instantly froze, suffocatingly oppressive.
Ling Ye was completely confused.
“No, big brother and big sister, who are you people? Just barging into Lingling’s mental world like this?”
The dense aura of Life and Destruction gave Ling Ye a clue.
“This… Could this be that couple from the Divine Realm?!”
The two major figures before him were most likely the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction from the Divine Realm.
Ling Ye’s mind was in chaos, completely stunned.
