[Black lightning erupted outward, destroying everything in its path.
Fortunately, Yu Yuanzhen consciously restrained its power. Otherwise, the immortal herbs surrounding them might have been completely obliterated.]
[Everyone who witnessed Yu Yuanzhen's earth-shattering attack was left speechless.]
[Even Yu Xiaogang hadn't expected his father's Martial Soul to evolve to such a terrifying level.]
[However, the man who had caused everyone's shock wasn't paying attention to any of them.]
[Because after releasing that attack, a mysterious voice suddenly echoed in his mind.]
"Oh? Interesting."
"To think you've actually condensed the Thunder of Destruction."
"For a mortal to wield such power, young man, you are quite impressive."
["Who's there?!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen's entire body tensed instantly.]
[His eyes darted around as he searched for the source of the voice.]
["What's wrong? Is someone there?"]
[Seeing Yu Yuanzhen's reaction, the Grand Elder immediately entered a combat stance. The others followed suit, becoming alert.]
[Yet after carefully examining their surroundings, they found no one besides themselves.]
[Just as Yu Yuanzhen began to wonder whether he was hallucinating, the voice spoke again.]
"Stop looking, child."
"I'm speaking directly into your mind."
"As for where I am... with your current level of strength, you won't be able to find me."
[The voice sounded once more, sending chills through Yu Yuanzhen's heart.]
["Who are you?"]
"Hahaha!"
"There's no need for you to know my true name."
"However, most people call me..."
"The God of Destruction."
["The God of Destruction?!"]
["Y-You're a god?!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen froze in shock.]
A legendary god?
He had actually encountered a legendary god!
Although he didn't know how powerful the God of Destruction truly was, there was no doubt that he stood far above anyone currently living on the Douluo Continent.
"A legendary god?"
"Well, from your perspective, I suppose that's accurate."
The God of Destruction chuckled.
Then his voice became meaningful.
"However..."
"Young man, would you like to become a legend as well?"
[Hearing those words, Yu Yuanzhen's heart began pounding wildly.]
His face quickly flushed red with excitement.
A god...
A genuine god...
Was asking whether he wanted to become a legend like him.
Wasn't that the same as asking if he wanted to become a god?
Good heavens!
Did he really possess such an opportunity?

Black World
The conversation between Yu Yuanzhen and the God of Destruction was displayed before everyone through the Heavenly Curtain.
Previously, Yu Yuanzhen's Martial Soul evolution and breakthrough to Rank 97 had already shaken the entire Douluo Continent.
But now?
The appearance of the God of Destruction and his invitation to godhood was like a bolt of heavenly thunder crashing into everyone's minds.
The revelation that gods truly existed was no longer the most shocking part.
What truly stunned everyone was the fact that someone living on the same continent as them actually had a chance to become a god.
A god!
Could they really witness the birth of a deity in the future?

On the Road to Sunset Forest
Yu Yuanzhen suddenly stopped walking.
He had already been shocked when he saw his counterpart unleash the Thunder of Destruction.
Then came the revelation of the God of Destruction.
And finally—
The invitation to become a god.
His eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
Become a god.
Become a god.
Become a god.
The words echoed endlessly through his mind.
He couldn't think about anything else.
Fortunately, there were plenty of people willing to think for him.
The Grand Elder was the first to recover.
Without hesitation, he rushed forward and grabbed Yu Yuanzhen by the shoulders.
"Yu Yuanzhen!"
"Wake up!"
The thunderous roar beside his ear jolted Yu Yuanzhen back to reality.
It also awakened the Second Elder and the others from their stupor.
Seeing that the Sect Master had finally regained his senses, the Grand Elder immediately shouted,
"We don't have time to keep watching the Heavenly Curtain!"
"Everything shown there happened in a parallel world!"
"That's someone else's story!"
"What matters now is us!"
He pointed toward the direction of Sunset Forest.
"We must reach the mysterious Thunder Vajra Grass before anyone else!"
The Second Elder and Third Elder immediately nodded.
"That's right!"
"Exactly!"
"Only by obtaining the Thunder Vajra Grass can the Sect Master gain the favor of a god..."
"And perhaps..."
"And perhaps become a god himself!"
The usually eloquent Second Elder was actually stuttering from excitement.
It couldn't be helped.
Everything they had just witnessed was simply too unbelievable.
A god had descended.
And that god wanted their Sect Master to become a god as well.
The key was the mysterious Thunder Vajra Grass.
What kind of heaven-defying opportunity was this?
The Grand Elder immediately activated his Martial Soul Possession.
Then he crouched down.
"Sect Master."
"Get on."
Yu Yuanzhen blinked.
The Grand Elder continued seriously,
"I'll carry you from now on."
"You need to conserve your Spirit Power."
"More importantly, continue watching the Heavenly Curtain."
"Pay attention to every detail."
"Not a single clue can be missed."
His expression became solemn.
"Whether the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can produce a god and prosper for generations depends entirely on this opportunity."
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath.
Without arguing, he climbed onto the Grand Elder's back.
The Grand Elder immediately erupted forward at full speed.
The Second and Third Elders followed closely behind.
At this moment, every high-ranking member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan shared the same goal.
Anyone who stood in their way would become the clan's mortal enemy.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan
Bone Douluo stared at the Heavenly Curtain with his mouth hanging open.
"That old dragon..."
"He actually has a chance to become a god?"
As both an old rival and old friend of Yu Yuanzhen, Bone Douluo found it difficult to accept.
A god.
The legendary Rank 100 realm.
The realm that countless Spirit Masters dreamed of.
And Yu Yuanzhen had actually received an invitation.
Ning Fengzhi slowly exhaled.
"It seems we've severely underestimated the value of those immortal herbs."
Previously, the effects of the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma had seemed impressive but not extraordinary.
As a result, many people assumed that immortal herbs were merely rare treasures.
Now they realized how wrong they had been.
One immortal herb had potentially created a path to godhood.
What about the others?
Could they possess equally miraculous effects?
Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance with Sword Douluo.
Both men saw the same determination in each other's eyes.
Forget Spirit Bones.
Forget everything else.
The priority had changed.
They would fight for the immortal herbs.
What was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone compared to becoming a god?
Could a full set of Spirit Bones make someone a god?
No.
But immortal herbs might.
The answer was obvious.
At that moment, Ning Fengzhi could only pray.
He hoped that among those immortal herbs, there would be one suitable for him.
Otherwise, after all the fighting and scheming...
The opportunity to become a god might end up in someone else's hands.
