Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

Xu Ran noticed that his Soul Power was undergoing a qualitative change, transforming into a clump of divinity.

And his "Cultivation Level" was skyrocketing in an instant.

Xu Ran, with his eyes closed, continually sensed the changes occurring within his body.

"Xu Ran, this is..."

Gu Yuena, the Life Goddess, and the Goddess of Kindness, all three women were exceedingly excited. They all realized that Xu Ran was undergoing a metamorphosis, and once it was complete, Xu Ran would become a deity, immortal and everlasting. And Xu Ran, even before becoming a deity, was already so formidable; how much more powerful would he be once he had transformed into a deity?

Perhaps by then, even if the entire Divine Realm were to be his enemy, Xu Ran alone could suppress them at will.

They had witnessed Xu Ran assimilating the Spiritual center into his body, and the Spiritual center was the most mysterious entity in the Divine Realm, perhaps even the heart of the entire Divine Realm. The gods' mighty powers were also inseparable from the Spiritual center.

In control of the Spiritual center, Xu Ran would find no more adversaries.

"Xu Ran has done it."

Gu Yuena looked at Xu Ran, with a smile on her face.

Her original dream was to rule the Divine Realm, to become an existence as powerful as the Dragon God. But now, she no longer had such thoughts. Was it not good to be a simple woman by Xu Ran's side?

"I should also go and complete my task."

Gu Yuena soon found the Golden Dragon King.

Transforming into her dragon form, she furiously attacked the Golden Dragon King.

The Golden Dragon King had been imprisoned in the Divine Realm for so many years; his strength was but a shadow of its former self. On the other hand, Gu Yuena's strength was at its peak, naturally, the Golden Dragon King was no match for her.

"Silver Dragon King, we are of the same origin; why do you strike against me?"

The Golden Dragon King exclaimed in shock and anger.

Though he was imprisoned in the Divine Realm, he had witnessed the tragedy there.

Three of the Five Great Supreme Gods had died, with countless other deities suffering casualties.

The once powerful Divine Realm now existed in name only.

This scene left him stunned.

And now Gu Yuena's attack on him could not be more clear in its intent. He was the Golden Dragon King; Gu Yuena the Silver Dragon King. If Gu Yuena devoured him, she could once again become the powerful Dragon God.

"Golden Dragon King, you should understand the principle of survival of the fittest. You are now my prey. Hmph. Although you, too, are a soul beast, we both hail from the Dragon God, and if I devour you, we can once again become the exalted Dragon God. You should feel fortunate," Gu Yuena said with a cold laugh, as the power of the Silver Dragon burst forth from her, continually suppressing the Golden Dragon King.

Meanwhile, the Life Goddess and the Goddess of Kindness also took action, joining forces with Gu Yuena to suppress him.

"Ahhh!"

The Golden Dragon King screamed miserably.

Gu Yuena devoured the power of the Golden Dragon King, as a brilliant golden hue gradually mixed into the silver on her body, and Gu Yuena's aura slowly climbed higher.

Gu Yuena sat cross-legged, beginning her closed-door meditation.

At this moment, the Divine Realm appeared exceedingly empty.

The Life Goddess and the Goddess of Kindness looked at the now barren Divine Realm, their hearts filled with a twinge of guilt. Even though they had chosen to follow Xu Ran, the people of the Divine Realm had once worked alongside them.

Yet they had no regrets, for if they hadn't acted, would those people have spared Xu Ran? For Xu Ran, they could do anything.

Had they not met Xu Ran, they might never have thought this way, but their personalities had changed through prolonged contact with him. They even felt that as long as it was something Xu Ran wanted to do, they would help him accomplish it.

To love someone was to support them unconditionally, even if their desires contradicted your past beliefs.

"I don't know whether what we're doing is right or not," the Goddess of Kindness couldn't help sighing as she looked upon the desolation before her.

She was basically saying goodbye to her past and would soon make new acquaintances.

"It should be right. As long as Xu Ran treats me well, I don't care about the rest," said the Life Goddess, who had known Xu Ran for an even longer period, and hence, had been influenced by him for longer.

Moreover, she was now pregnant with Xu Ran's child, and even if Xu Ran didn't love her, she would still stand by his side.

"Hmm."

The Goddess of Kindness nodded lightly in agreement with the Life Goddess's words.

She felt some guilt towards the people of the Divine Realm, but her love for Xu Ran clearly outweighed that guilt.

"I never imagined Xu Ran could be so powerful. How terrifying. And Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King is so strong," Tang San thought, his eyes filled with a mad fervor as he watched the scene unfold.

He had thought the battle would be evenly matched, and that Xu Ran and his companions would all be injured, putting him in a position to emerge as the ultimate winner.

But the gods of the Divine Realm turned out to be so disappointing.

He hadn't expected Xu Ran's strength to have increased yet again. Nor had he expected Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, to suddenly unleash such tremendous power, capable of holding off so many First-Level Gods on her own.

It seemed that Gu Yuena must have utilized some secret technique to temporarily gain the power of the Dragon God, a power that couldn't last. But even if it was fleeting, it had given Xu Ran enough time to kill the Asura God.

With the Asura God slain, Xu Ran was naturally able to coordinate with Gu Yuena to slaughter the weaker gods.

Gu Yuena, with the power of the Dragon God, possessed an incredibly strong bodily defense—a significant advantage of being a Soul Beast God. And Xu Ran too, thanks to his armor, had an astonishingly strong defense.

As for the Destruction God and the Evil God, they were restrained by the Life Goddess and the Goddess of Kindness and were utterly unable to assist anyone else.

"Alas. It's a pity. I thought I would be able to gain a huge advantage," Tang San lamented.

"Looking at Xu Ran, he seems to be ascending to godhood. Although no one has conferred godhood upon Xu Ran, having gained the Divine Realm, as long as he absorbs enough Divine Power, he can transform into a god. It's just not clear what kind of god Xu Ran will ultimately become, but surely he won't be inferior to the Divine King. As for Gu Yuena, she is currently devouring the power of the Golden Dragon King," Tang San analyzed while he greedily absorbed the Divine Power of the deceased gods, with his "Cultivation Level" soaring continuously.

"Ha ha. Maybe I still have a chance!"

A fierce murderous intent shone in Tang San's eyes.

Xu Ran and Gu Yuena were in seclusion; if he suddenly attacked them, would they be greatly weakened? It was important to note that being interrupted at such a crucial moment could have severe consequences.

With this in mind, Tang San no longer hid; he stepped out openly.

His aura was extremely strong, even stronger than the Asura God had been. He had devoured the power of too many gods during the war, and although he had not yet had time to fully Refinement this energy, his own strength had increased significantly.

And now, he was openly absorbing more of this energy, further enhancing his strength.

"Xu Ran, I might not lose this time! Your strength continues to rise, and so does mine," Tang San muttered, his aura swelling. His body had reached its limit, and if he continued to absorb energy he would surely explode. But he didn't have time to Refinement all this energy into his own and had to severely wound Xu Ran before his ascension to godhood.
