Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"This is bad, the Destruction God has come looking for us."

The Goddess of Kindness and the others all turned pale.

"Xiao Zi must have found out by now. Secrets can hardly keep the truth at bay," sighed the Life Goddess. She and the Destruction God were the oldest deities in this world. They had existed since the very beginning of the Divine Realm.

She was the Ancient Life Tree, while Xiao Zi was the Destruction Condensate.

Over the years, although she felt no affection for Xiao Zi, she had hoped to treat him as a good friend.

But perfection is elusive in this world.

Now that she had chosen Xu Ran, there was no going back to how things were with Xiao Zi, not even to being friends.

"What's meant to come will come, but we shouldn't be afraid. With our combined strength right now, even a direct confrontation with the Divine Realm wouldn't pose much of a problem," Gu Yuena yawned lazily. A storm was brewing, yet there was no trace of panic in her demeanor, only a deep sense of excitement.

She had had enough of hiding by the Lake of Life for so many years. Now, she was ready to declare to the Divine Realm that she, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, was making her return.

In the past, the Dragon God was the ruler of the Divine Realm. Now, she intended to seize what was rightfully hers.

"Should we help?" asked the Goddess of Kindness, worried.

"Help with what? This is a showdown between men. At most, Xiao Lü might give a talk and convince the Destruction God to back off. In any case, if they were to fight, we needn't step in. Xu Ran is very strong now, and actually, I'd like to see my man's capabilities for myself. He's always been playing possum, and even I can't be completely sure of his strength!" Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes shifted towards the horizon, her charming smile lighting up the world.

That smile could make the world seem dull by comparison, truly a smile that could topple states. However, this beauty was destined only for Xu Ran to appreciate.

"Aren't you worried about Xu Ran? The Destruction God is a veteran and highly esteemed deity in the Divine Realm. His power is enormous. In the Divine Realm, only the Asura God can match him, and even the Asura God relies on the might of the Asura Demon Sword, a super divine weapon; otherwise, he would not be a match for the Destruction God," explained the Goddess of Kindness. As the Divine King of the God Realm, she was well aware of the Destruction God's power.

The Asura God was a Law Enforcer of the divine world and had few gods following him.

But it was different for the Destruction God—he commanded many First-Level Gods. His influence in the Divine Realm was also higher than that of the other Divine Kings.

And with such a Divine King regarding Xu Ran as a mortal enemy, she naturally worried.

"If he can't even handle the Destruction God, then how can he conquer me?" Gu Yuena was unperturbed. She knew Xu Ran had many tricks up his sleeve and was far more complex than what others perceived.

Many, even gods, have tried to bring Xu Ran down, but not one has truly managed to best him.

...

"Destroyer Your Highness, what brings you here in such good health!"

Xu Ran was somewhat surprised to see the Destruction God looking so furious.

He had thought that given the Destruction God's prideful nature, he could keep the secret for a bit longer. But now that it was out in the open, he was unafraid.

"Xu Ran, you dare to show your face?"

Seeing Xu Ran, the fury in the Destruction God's eyes deepened. His body was wreathed with lightning formed from destruction energy. Should any of those supremely destructive bolts of lightning strike down, even an average First-Level God wouldn't dare to recklessly intercept; such power could destroy the entirety of Tiandou City!

Such was the power of a peak Divine King from the Divine Realm!

"Why wouldn't I dare to come out? This is my turf," Xu Ran said, teasingly. From the expression on the Destruction God's face, he could tell that the Destruction God probably knew the truth, so there was no longer any need for him to show a good temper to the Destruction God.

"Oh, Xu Ran! Was this the attitude you had when you first saw me? It hasn't been that long since we last met, and now you dare to disregard me?" The casual attitude of Xu Ran even more provoked the pride of the Destruction God.

He was furious and wanted to destroy this world!

But he wanted to know the truth even more. What was Xiao Lü really thinking?

If Xiao Lü had been threatened and coerced by Xu Ran, maybe she would feel a bit better. But if Xiao Lü had actively betrayed him and plotted with Xu Ran... how pitiable would he be?

"Times have changed. I used to be weaker than you, but now I don't think I am any weaker. Who do you think you are, shouting at me like this?"

"Bastard!"

"I am the Destruction God of the Divine Realm, and you dare to speak to me that way?"

The Destruction God's divine light burst forth, with dense purple lightning rushing towards Xu Ran.

In an instant, the entire heavens and earth turned purple.

The terrifying divine might made everyone in Tiandou City and the surrounding cities shudder with fear and fall to their knees before the ominous sky.

All they could see was countless bolts of lightning slashing towards Xu Ran, their might akin to divine wrath!

Could Lord Xu Ran possibly withstand it?

Everyone watched the sky, too nervous to even blink.

To witness such a scene today, even if they were to die, they wouldn't have any regrets. If they could live and spread the word about what they saw and heard today, what an honor that would be?

The powerful Lord Xu Ran, and that even more powerful enemy from beyond the heavens...

This scene might very well be recorded in the annals of history!

The commoners of Tiandou City didn't know the identity of the Destruction God, but they knew that even the strongest in the Martial Soul Hall couldn't possess such power. If there were such powerful beings on the Continent, it would have been united long ago. No nation or power could stop such a terrifying person.

"Haha. Xu Ran, what a piece of crap? Now Xu Ran must die!"

"Xu Ran actually offended such a powerful being? Isn't this courting death?"

"Xu Ran may be an exceptional powerhouse in our eyes! But there are others beyond our reach, and there are heavens beyond the heavens. There's no telling how many there are in this world stronger than Xu Ran."

"If Xu Ran dies now, the Continent will revert to its former state, the federation not yet established will become history. But that's just as well. After all, having such an extraordinary existence on the Continent always makes us uneasy."

"If Xu Ran were to die like this, wouldn't all his beautiful wives become widows? If we try hard, is there a chance for us... hehe."

"Although Xu Ran is powerful. But such a being can manipulate the forces of heaven and earth, and must be much stronger than Xu Ran. With just this move, Xu Ran couldn't possibly withstand it."

Many who saw this scene sneered coldly.

Although many people worshiped Xu Ran, they equally anticipated his fall. Seeing someone who was high above falling to the depths was something they enjoyed. In that case, all the wife-like wives around Xu Ran...
