Black World – Spirit Hall
If one were to ask who was most shocked by the revelation that Yu Yuanzhen from the parallel world had the opportunity to become a god, then Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong would undoubtedly top the list.
Elder Hall
"The God of Destruction..."
Qian Daoliu murmured to himself.
"I wonder how he compares to our Angel Ancestor."
His eyes flickered with uncertainty.
As the Divine Servant of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu naturally hoped that his own deity stood above all others.
However, he had never expected Yu Yuanzhen to attract the attention of a god.
At the very least, if a god personally descended to invite someone, that person could become a Divine Servant just as he had.
And judging from the terrifying Thunder of Destruction displayed earlier—as well as the title God of Destruction—it was obvious that Yu Yuanzhen's future path would revolve around battle and destruction.
If he truly succeeded in ascending to godhood, it would undoubtedly affect Spirit Hall's influence and prestige.
A dangerous thought suddenly crossed Qian Daoliu's mind.
Should I stop him?
With his speed and strength, he could easily rush to Sunset Forest and seize control of the situation.
Even if Yu Yuanzhen had already absorbed the Mysterious Thunder Vajra Grass, the current Yu Yuanzhen of this world would still be no match for him.
However, after considering the matter carefully, Qian Daoliu slowly shook his head.
The risks were too great.
The battle over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its immortal herbs had yet to conclude.
More importantly...
There was the Heavenly Curtain.
Qian Daoliu suspected that the gods themselves could see everything displayed within it.
If the God of Destruction could observe the Heavenly Curtain, then would he also notice Qian Daoliu's actions?
Would he interpret Spirit Hall's interference as hostility?
Would he assume that the Angel God herself intended to prevent Yu Yuanzhen from inheriting his divine legacy?
If his actions accidentally sparked a conflict between gods, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Of course, another important factor was that the Angel God had not issued a divine decree.
If she commanded him to act, he would immediately set out without hesitation.
But without such an order, Qian Daoliu preferred caution.
Ironically, part of his speculation was correct.
Because at that very moment...
The gods were indeed watching.

The God Realm
"It seems you've finally found a successor."
A teasing voice echoed through the divine realm.
The God of Destruction snorted.
"Not yet."
"As long as Life hasn't chosen a successor, I have no intention of passing down my God Position."
Another god laughed.
"You and the Goddess of Life truly are inseparable."
"Of course."
The God of Destruction replied without hesitation.
"If we leave, we leave together."
"If we stay, we stay together."
"I have no desire to be separated from her."
The conversation soon shifted toward the mysterious Heavenly Curtain surrounding Douluo Star.
"We can see the Heavenly Curtain, yet we cannot descend to Douluo Star."
"Perhaps someone is deliberately preventing us from interfering."
The God Shura folded his arms.
"Hmph."
"A coward hiding in the shadows."
"Parallel worlds?"
"I think these are nothing more than fabricated stories."
The God of Destruction shrugged.
"Even if they are fabricated, they're still entertaining."
A thoughtful voice suddenly spoke.
"But if they are real..."
"An infinite number of parallel worlds."
"Countless versions of ourselves existing simultaneously."
"Such a vast universe might contain opportunities far beyond our current understanding."
Silence followed.
The gods exchanged glances.
Although none of them spoke, the light in their eyes revealed their thoughts.
No one was truly as calm as they appeared.

Supreme Pontiff Palace
If Qian Daoliu could remain relatively composed, Bibi Dong could not.
As the chosen inheritor of the Rakshasa God, she possessed a deep sense of pride.
Regardless of how sinister the Rakshasa God's nature might be, she had still been chosen by a god.
She was destined to ascend one day.
And after becoming a god...
She had many plans.
The first would be the destruction of the Qian Family.
The second would be the destruction of everything she hated.
At the top of that list stood the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
To Bibi Dong, they were responsible for everything.
They were the reason she and Yu Xiaogang could never be together.
She looked at the Yu Xiaogang shown in the Heavenly Curtain.
His life had been smooth.
Successful.
Respected.
Cherished.
If her own Xiaogang had received the same treatment, perhaps they could have enjoyed the beautiful years of their youth together.
Instead, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had humiliated him.
Rejected him.
Looked down upon him.
Years of ridicule had destroyed his confidence and filled him with insecurity.
If the clan had treated him with even a fraction of the affection shown by the Grand Elder in the parallel world, would Yu Xiaogang have abandoned her?
Would he have left and never returned?
In Bibi Dong's mind, the answer was obvious.
Everything was the fault of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
One could only say that Bibi Dong truly lived up to her reputation as a hopeless romantic.
Even after everything that had happened, she still found ways to excuse Yu Xiaogang's actions.
Because of this, the thought of allowing a god to emerge from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was completely unacceptable to her.
Without hesitation, she decided to personally travel to Sunset Forest.
Meanwhile, the value of the prize waiting there continued to rise.

White World – Spirit Hall
"His Excellency Thunder was chosen by a god?"
Hu Liena stared at the Heavenly Curtain with wide eyes.
"Why have I never heard about this?"
Her mouth hung open in shock.
She looked around the room.
Neither Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, nor Golden Crocodile Douluo appeared surprised.
Immediately, she realized she was the only one who didn't know.
"Teacher!"
She grabbed Bibi Dong's arm.
"What exactly happened?"
"Has His Excellency Thunder already become a god?"
Bibi Dong remained silent.
Instead, she turned toward Yu Xiaogang.
Following her gaze, everyone else did the same.
Qian Daoliu.
Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Hu Liena.
All eyes landed on Yu Xiaogang.
Although they knew Yu Yuanzhen had obtained a divine inheritance, none of them knew the details.
There was only one thing they knew for certain.
Yu Yuanzhen had not yet become a god.
"My father hasn't ascended yet."
Yu Xiaogang rubbed his forehead helplessly.
"Back then, the God of Destruction gave him two choices."
"Unfortunately, because of the first choice, he wasted far too much time."
He sighed deeply.
"A person really shouldn't be too greedy."
Everyone exchanged puzzled looks.
Two choices?
Wasted time?
What exactly did that mean?
Faced with their curious expressions, Yu Xiaogang simply smiled.
Instead of explaining, he pointed toward the Heavenly Curtain.
"You'll understand soon enough."
Truthfully, even he was curious.
Back then, he had never heard the God of Destruction's exact words.
Now, he finally had the chance to learn the truth.
The others quickly followed his gaze.
All eyes turned toward the Heavenly Curtain.
They waited eagerly for the next scene to reveal the two choices that had changed Yu Yuanzhen's fate.
