Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

Chapter 555: 555: The Prejudice in People's Hearts is Like a Mountain

"Two Divine Kings, do you suspect that I released the Golden Dragon King?"

In the current Divine Realm, only Kindness and Evil claim the title of Divine King.

The three Enforcers, despite reaching that level, still refer to themselves as Enforcers.

"Life, we didn't say anything."

Evil glanced at the Goddess of Life, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

If it was indeed the Goddess of Life who released the Golden Dragon King, he would not hesitate to attack her.

"Life, Evil and I have been busy with the expansion of the Divine Realm, and we have already annexed two worlds."

Yes, with the combined efforts of the two Divine Kings and some deities, annexing a target world is not difficult.

The two annexed worlds include a Demon Plane, where the strongest beings are only at the True God level.

The other world is the Abyss Plane, with the strongest being the Abyss Sovereign, who, despite appearing formidable, is only at the True God level.

These two planes are not far from the Douluo Continent, and their annexation is a pleasant surprise for the Divine Realm.

For the Douluo Continent, which will face invasions from the Abyss and demons in the future, this is also good news.

Kindness's words were simple; she and Evil have been busy and achieved significant results.

Annexing two worlds in such a short time!

This shows that they have been constantly busy, and it also indirectly proves that they have no suspicion of releasing the Golden Dragon King.

So, who else has the strength and the time to do it but the Goddess of Life?

Out of the three, two are busy, so who else is there to suspect but Life?

Hearing this, the Goddess of Life felt a pain in her chest, a result of her anger.

She trembled slightly.

How idle would she have to be to release the Golden Dragon King?

Moreover, she had just "divorced" Destruction, and now Kindness and Evil suspect her of such intentions...

Even though the Goddess of Life is "kind and gentle," she couldn't help but feel anger.

If Destruction were here, how could they dare to suspect her without hesitation?

At this moment, she once again thought of Destruction, Little Purple.

"Little Purple~"

The Goddess of Life's beautiful eyes welled up with tears, her face filled with grievance.

Kindness and Evil were stunned.

Especially when the Goddess of Life called out "Little Purple," her expression and emotions were palpable.

"It seems we really wronged her this time..."

Kindness and Evil exchanged a glance and shrugged.

So what if we wronged her? Can she fight back?

Two against one, the advantage is ours!

"Life, tell us what you were doing when the Golden Dragon King escaped the Divine Realm."

Even though they knew they might have wronged the Goddess of Life, the Evil Divine King still asked this question.

Yes, so what if we pick on the Goddess of Life?

The more she was bullied, the more the Goddess of Life thought of Destruction. If Destruction were still in the Divine Realm, how could she be bullied?

Though angry, the Goddess of Life had no choice but to recount what she was doing at that time.

Fortunately, she was chatting with several deities at that time, providing her with an alibi, which cleared her of suspicion.

However, this incident also created a rift between the Goddess of Life and Kindness and Evil.

It's not that she doesn't want to leave the Divine Realm, but she dares not.

Given her nature, leaving the Divine Realm would likely end badly for her.

After all, she is the essence of life itself!

If someone were to absorb her, or worse...

Moreover, the Goddess of Life is one of the most beautiful goddesses in the Divine Realm. If such a goddess were to leave the Divine Realm and be captured by evil deities, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This is why, even though she was bullied, the Goddess of Life had no intention of leaving the Divine Realm.

If she could leave with Destruction, she would fear nothing, but Destruction had severed ties with her and left on his own!

The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain.

Once a rift forms, it can never be mended.

Douluo Continent, Star Dou Plains.

The Star Dou Plains are now bustling with activity. After unification, construction has begun, and a main city will soon rise here.

The largest main city on the Douluo Continent!

It might even become the capital!

Due to its geographical location, right between the former Heaven Dou and Star Luo, it is an excellent choice for a capital, whether for message delivery or monitoring the world.

A golden figure suddenly appeared on the Star Dou Plains. Fortunately, the plains are vast, and construction has not yet reached this area, so no one noticed this figure.

"The entire Star Dou Forest has vanished without a trace..."

The golden figure murmured, somewhat bewildered.

Even at his peak, he couldn't achieve such a feat.

Just how powerful must the person be who made the Star Dou Forest disappear?

This figure was none other than the Golden Dragon King, who had escaped from his seal.

The Dragon God told him that the last known location of the Silver Dragon King before her disappearance was the Star Dou Forest.

As for how the Silver Dragon King disappeared, even the Dragon God didn't know.

"He" was focused on the movements of the Divine Realm and didn't pay attention to the Douluo Continent.

After all, the energy of the Abyss Plane was prepared by "Him" for the Douluo Continent!

The Divine Realm took it, disrupting "His" plans.

Fortunately, there were other options.

When the Golden Dragon King appeared on the Douluo Continent, a silver figure within a certain inner realm of the Star Dou Plains frowned.

Logically, the Golden Dragon King shouldn't be here.

The Star Dou Forest did disappear, but not completely; it was merely separated from the Douluo Continent in terms of space.

The entire Star Dou Forest is still in its original location, but without finding the entrance to its inner realm, one cannot enter it.

It's like a piece of land existing in a different space.

After a moment's hesitation, Gu Yuena finally approached the entrance to the inner realm and stepped out.

Although her strength does not match Zhongli's, she is a "god-level" being and can freely enter and exit the inner realm, but she cannot take others with her.

This is her contract with Zhongli.

As Gu Yuena appeared in the space of the Douluo Continent, the Golden Dragon King immediately sensed her presence.

In a short while, the two locked eyes.

"Brother."

"Sister."

The Golden Dragon King is slightly stronger than the Silver Dragon King, and since they are "twins," it's natural for him to be the older brother.

The Silver Dragon King has a gentle personality, and since the Golden Dragon King once saved her life, it's reasonable for her to call him brother.

"How... did you appear?"

The Golden Dragon King asked in confusion. Earlier, he couldn't sense Gu Yuena's presence, yet she suddenly appeared.

Hearing this, the Silver Dragon King looked bewildered. Shouldn't she be the one asking this question?

How did the Golden Dragon King appear?

Wasn't he sealed by those deities?

"Brother, this is not the place to talk. Follow me."

After saying this, Gu Yuena turned and left.

Trusting the Silver Dragon King, the Golden Dragon King followed without hesitation.

He was also curious about what had happened to the Silver Dragon King that even the Dragon God couldn't find her...

Chapter 556: Sibling "Conspiracy"

Golden Dragon King had no doubts and followed Gu Yuena to the entrance of the inner realm.

At this moment, Golden Dragon King's eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

This place was no different from where they had arrived earlier; both were extremely flat. Why did Gu Yuena bring him here?

Although puzzled, Golden Dragon King remains silent.

Gu Yuena clasped her hands together and, under Golden Dragon King's confused gaze, performed a few gestures. A portal appeared before the two dragons.

"???"

Golden Dragon King felt a surge of questions in his mind. If it wasn't for Gu Yuena's actions, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.

This portal was something else!

Although inwardly shocked, to maintain his brotherly dignity, Golden Dragon King kept a calm exterior. However, his trembling eyelids betrayed his unsettled emotions.

"Follow me."

After saying this, Gu Yuena stepped into the portal. Passing through this "door" leads to the true Star Dou Great Forest.

Hearing this, Golden Dragon King followed without hesitation.

As the two entered, a dragon soul attempted to seize the opportunity to enter, but the portal dissolved prematurely.

"???"

Dragon God was left with a mind full of questions. He knew the extent of Silver Dragon King's abilities.

Yet, this portal had even blocked him, the Dragon God!

This deepened Dragon God's confusion.

As the two dragons entered the Star Dou Great Forest, "He" could no sense the presence of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings.

"So, Little Silver has been hiding here all along?"

Although puzzled, Dragon God didn't dwell on it. After all, the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings were his avatars. Having such an opportunity was a good thing.

If he couldn't enter, he would just wait for them to come out.

Upon entering the inner realm, they were greeted by dense forest, which made Golden Dragon King fall into deep thought.

He had never seen the Star Dou Great Forest and didn't understand why it had changed so much.

"Brother, this is the Star Dou Great Forest. It was once located on the Star Dou Plain but, under the great power of the Geo Archon, was separated from the Douluo Continent, becoming an independent realm."

"Of course, the Star Dou Great Forest still exists on the Douluo Continent, its position unchanged, but the outside world can no longer sense its presence."

Silver Dragon King speaks calmly.

At first, she had been shocked by Zhongli's great power, but over time, she had grown to it.

Hearing this, Golden Dragon King's eyes twitched, and he felt somewhat lost.

To isolate the Star Dou Great Forest, forming a separate realm while still attaching it to the Douluo Continent?

Why had the beast clan, so powerful, fallen to such a state?

As for the Geo Archon's great power, he didn't dwell on it but instead pondered why such a measure was necessary.

He could feel that Gu Yuena's injuries had completely healed. Even if her strength hadn't returned to its peak, she was still a top-tier god-level powerhouse.

In such a situation, why would they need to hide themselves? Was it to evade the detection of the God Kings?

"Sister, what exactly has happened over the years?"

Golden Dragon King was not a fool. He knew that there must be a reason for things to have turned out this way.

Hearing this, Gu Yuena fell into rare contemplation. She looked at Golden Dragon King, then at the Star Dou Great Forest, and finally exclaimed.

"This matter dates back to that great battle..."

"Brother, I know your temper, but please restrain yourself until I finish."

When she first learned this secret, she too had been filled with deep doubt. She never expected that both she and Golden Dragon King were just pawns in Dragon God's schemes.

Golden Dragon King frowned, his eyes filled with confusion, and he nodded subconsciously.

Silver Dragon King wouldn't lie to him. Could there be some hidden truth about that great battle?

As Silver Dragon King continued her story, Golden Dragon King's frown deepened, and he spoke with displeasure, "Sister, are you mistaken? How could Father God possibly do such a thing?"

"As the god of all beast clans, what reason would He have to do this?"

"What purpose would Father God have in setting such a curse?"

Golden Dragon King paused, then continued, "Do you know how I escaped from the God Realm?"

"It was Father God's divine soul that helped me break the seal and guide me here!"

Golden Dragon King didn't doubt Dragon God but instead questioned whether Silver Dragon King was mistaken.

How could Father God, such a noble being, stop such despicable acts?

He had been saved by Dragon God. How could Dragon God possibly have such sinister schemes?

Faced with Golden Dragon King's barrage of questions, Gu Yuena's expression remains unchanged.

She could understand Golden Dragon King's feelings because she had once felt the same.

But the more she learned the truth, the more despair she felt.

Great Father God, why, why would You do such a thing?

Not only was the Golden Dragon King unable to comprehend it, even Gu Yuena couldn't understand it either.

After a long silence, Gu Yuena waved her hand and said, "Brother, back then, Father God split into two, becoming you and me."

Hearing this, Golden Dragon King nodded. This was no secret; any god who had participated in that great battle knew it.

The lives of the two siblings had originated from this, which was why they acknowledged Dragon God as their father.

Seeing Golden Dragon King's response and his relatively rational demeanor, Gu Yuena continued, "Does your memory contain any information about His divine soul not dying?"

"Does your memory contain any information about Him setting a curse?"

At this, Golden Dragon King was stunned.

"This..."

Golden Dragon King frowned. The things Silver Dragon King mentioned were not in his memory.

But he still believes in Dragon God, although a sliver of doubt had crept in.

"Impossible, how could it be?"

"Father God... Father God He..."

At this point, Golden Dragon King didn't know how to explain. His mind wasn't the sharpest.

Because in his inherited memories, there was indeed no such information.

According to Gu Yuena's account, he initially thought the curse had been laid by the Five Great God Kings, but Gu Yuena claimed it was Dragon God's doing, which was indeed mind-shattering.

As if reminding something, the Golden Dragon King continued, "No, Father God could never be so selfish. He is the god of all beast clans, the guardian god of the dragon race."

"Sister, how did you come to know these things?"

"Have you verified them?"

If the matter hadn't been verified, how could it be said that Dragon God was responsible?

"Brother, in the entire God Realm, who else besides Him could do such a thing?"

"This..."

"Hmm~"

Golden Dragon King fell into silence, truly silent, letting out a contemplative hum.

Indeed, in the entire God Realm, who else besides Dragon God could do such a thing?

Even the Five Great God Kings combined couldn't have done it so well.

Soul rings, soul bones, humans absorbing soul rings to break through, beast souls unable to become gods.

Dragon God was trying to cut off the beast clan's rise at the root!

And He had made two preparations.

Humans had to hunt soul beasts and absorb soul rings to break through.

Soul beasts had to endure a heavenly tribulation every hundred thousand years to advance.
