'I'm the protagonist! What right do you, Xue Tianyu, have to compete with me?!'
Tang San knew this was his last chance for revenge.
He lifted his head and met the gaze of the Asura God's phantom.
"I can. I know who the inheritor is."
"Grant me your power, and I can go kill him right away!"
A cruel smile appeared on Tang San's lips, his expression twisted. "Hurry up!"
However, faced with Tang San's excitement, the Asura God simply shook his head indifferently.
"No. To inherit a god's position, you must complete the divine trials."
"This iron rule cannot be broken by anyone. If you forcefully receive my power, you won't be able to withstand the impact of divine energy."
"Uh…"
Tang San was speechless. He had been getting all worked up for nothing.
…
At this moment, the entire world was focused on the Star Dou Forest.
And within its core region—
Gu Yuena stared blankly at Xue Tianyu, who had an ice-crowned phantom floating above his head.
Her chest rose and fell, waves surging.
'What kind of god is this?'
In her memory, ice-type gods were not particularly strong.
They were merely subordinates of other gods.
But…
Gu Yuena's slender fingers clenched tightly.
This god's presence was even more oppressive than the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm.
If this aura were to run rampant, even Gu Yuena herself would feel terrified.
Such immense power…
'It could overturn the Divine Realm!'
"Hoo…"
Gu Yuena let out a deep breath and lightly pinched her smooth, jade-white thigh with her delicate fingers.
Her fair, slender leg instantly turned pink.
"Mm…"
"It still hurts. I'm not dreaming."
Gu Yuena's eyes shone brightly.
If Xue Tianyu could successfully become a god and inherit the position, then with that power…
Wouldn't she be able to take revenge?
At the thought of vengeance, her deep-seated hatred for the Divine Realm surged forth.
The death of the Dragon God and the fact that soul beasts could never become gods—
These were eternal wounds.
No matter how much they cultivated, soul beasts could never escape the cycle of life and death.
The Divine Realm, for its own selfish interests, had severed their path to godhood.
This was an unforgivable hatred.
Gu Yuena had been hiding here, recovering, all for the day when she could lead the soul beasts in a battle against the Divine Realm and reclaim what was stolen from them.
But…
The Divine Realm was guarded by the Five Great God Kings.
An impenetrable fortress.
On her side, the only one capable of fighting a God King was herself.
Even with her strength, she wasn't confident in a successful revenge.
All she had was burning determination, praying for a miracle, no matter how slim the chance.
But now, Xue Tianyu's appearance gave her hope.
He was the key to overthrowing the Divine Realm!
If Xue Tianyu stood by her side, then—
The Divine Realm could be toppled!
At this moment, in Gu Yuena's eyes, Xue Tianyu was glowing.
She glanced down at her own body, then slowly pulled open her collar, revealing her alluring curves.
A faint blush crept up her face.
She would stop at nothing—she had to win him over!
…
Xue Tianyu slowly opened his eyes.
The mark of the Ancient Ice God's inheritance had already taken shape in his mind.
The divine trials had begun.
The Ancient Ice God's inheritance only had five trials.
If he completed all five, he would gain the power to overturn the Divine Realm.
With this power, dealing with Bibi Dong's Rakshasa God abilities would be like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken—effortless.
The content of the first trial surfaced in Xue Tianyu's mind.
—Kill a 1,000,000-year soul beast.
Xue Tianyu was stunned.
For a first trial, asking him to kill a 1,000,000-year soul beast was an insanely high difficulty.
Even Qian Daoliu, a peak Douluo, could fail when fighting such a beast.
But…
Xue Tianyu knew of a loophole.
Skydream Ice Worm was also a 1,000,000-year soul beast.
But compared to other 1,000,000-year soul beasts, it was far easier to deal with.
At this moment, Gu Yuena noticed that Xue Tianyu had awakened. She propped herself up and extended her smooth, delicate hand toward him.
"What do you think of the Divine Realm?"
"The Divine Realm?"
Xue Tianyu's eyes narrowed slightly, contemplating.
"It's nothing special."
He wasn't just saying that.
Ever since he learned about the Divine Realm, he had held nothing but disdain for it.
Hiding behind the title of gods, they constantly interfered with the lower world.
To protect those they favored, they manipulated events with despicable methods.
The most disgusting thing of all was that if Tang San ever died, the Asura God would pull every string possible to resurrect him.
It was basically a "Revive My Lover" cheat code, completely ridiculous.
Seeing Xue Tianyu's indifference toward the Divine Realm, Gu Yuena's thoughts began to stir.
"I want to use you."
She leaned in further, her seductive figure nearly pressing against him.
Xue Tianyu had no choice but to lower his head.
From this angle, Gu Yuena's flawless body was perfectly outlined—an overwhelming visual temptation.
"So straightforward?"
Gu Yuena smiled charmingly, a hint of shyness mixed with her captivating allure.
Any other man in this situation would have lost control.
"If you agree, you will have the full support of all soul beasts."
"Anything you desire, I can give you."
"Including myself."
Gu Yuena gazed at Xue Tianyu with serious, determined eyes.
"But…"
Just as Xue Tianyu was about to refuse, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and pressed her soft, warm lips against his forehead.
In that instant, Xue Tianyu froze.
Gu Yuena pulled away, a playful smile on her lips.
"We can develop feelings… over time."
"Uh…"
Xue Tianyu sighed, resting his hands on Gu Yuena's shoulders, gently pulling her clothes back in place to cover the exposed skin.
"Don't do this…"
Gu Yuena was surprised. "What? Do you think I'm not beautiful enough?"
She had always been confident in her appearance. This was the first time she had ever been rejected.
Besides, she had heard that men were all lustful creatures. She had already gone this far—yet Xue Tianyu still didn't react?
Gu Yuena couldn't help but look at him differently.
This man… was different from the rest.
Hearing her question, Xue Tianyu shook his head.
"No, it's just… this is our first time meeting. This pace… feels a bit fast."
Gu Yuena stared at him for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"I never expected this… You're actually a pure-hearted guy."
Xue Tianyu smiled lightly, but didn't respond.
"You don't get it, do you?"
"We soul beasts don't play those complicated human games."
"Dragging things out and hesitating." Gu Yuena lifted her head slightly, turning half of her face to look at Xue Tianyu. "For us soul beasts, it's all about survival of the fittest. Only the strong have the right to reproduce and thrive."
