"We've been sitting here for days—why hasn't anything happened yet...?"
Just at that moment, a woman entered the bar.
She was dressed in pure white, with a clean and innocent appearance. Her long white dress was utterly spotless.
Two locks of jet-black hair hung before her chest, and her large, dark eyes constantly shimmered with a gentle glow.
The young man in black, upon seeing the woman in white, instantly felt as if she were his destined soulmate from a past life.
Caught up in this feeling, he walked up to her.
He spoke with a tone that was both sincere and a little flirtatious:
"Beautiful lady, my fated soulmate—please accept my love."
Faced with such flirtatious words, the woman in white merely smiled gently, as if she had heard it hundreds of times before, and gave a soft nod.
She said, "Darling, let's go."
"To where?"
"To the hotel, of course."
"Huh?"
"Sweetheart, didn't you say we're destined lovers from a past life? Just fifty thousand coins, that's all."
"Pretty good deal, don't you think?"
At first, the man in black wanted to refuse. But before he could speak, the woman in white added:
"If you don't have it, I can give you fifty thousand coins instead."
And so…
That night, at the Rose Hotel—
"Ahhh—!" A scream echoed for ten miles.
Just as the man in black was delving into the "steel wool flower language" of the girl in white, his heart suddenly jolted. His actions came to an abrupt halt.
A strange light flickered in his devilish eyes—one of awakening from ignorance to knowledge.
In that moment, the man in black disappeared.
In his place appeared one of the five Great God Kings of the Douluo Divine Realm—the original Evil God King.
His appearance transformed from that of a normal human to that of a demonic ruler.
Horns grew from his head, his black hair turned white, and he resembled a handsome bull demon.
The same transformation occurred with the woman in white. She was, in fact, the original Kindness God King.
A veil of sheer white covered her head, and a small cross-shaped ornament rested on her chest.
These two God Kings had attempted to experience love in a bar, but naturally, it failed.
However, now they had no time to care about that.
From deep within their souls came an intense sense of foreboding—a warning of death.
Leaving the wrecked room of the Rose Hotel, they next appeared beyond the Yin-Yang Crown Plane.
What met their eyes was a sky full of "stars"—tens of thousands of interstellar ships spread in all directions, causing even these two worldly God Kings to frown in surprise.
Had they only been away from the Douluo Divine Realm for less than ten thousand years?
In just a few thousand years, had the universe changed so drastically that they no longer recognized it?
When they left, no other plane had even remotely reached such a level of technological development.
Still, there was no time for amazement.
Ten thousand warships had clearly surrounded the Yin-Yang Crown Plane.
Their immediate task was to break out.
Being surrounded on all sides was no favorable situation.
But just as the Evil God King summoned his super divine artifact—the Scales of Judgment, the Kindness God King suddenly called out:
"Evil, look!"
Following her gaze, the Evil God King's eyes widened.
Before them was a "giant ship" so massive its edges couldn't be seen.
Why couldn't they see the edges? Because from the moment they laid eyes on it, they had already been inside it.
Hidden by the formation of ten thousand warships, the Divine Ark Continent of the New Divine Realm had stealthily encompassed the star region where the Yin-Yang Crown Plane resided—like trapping a turtle in a jar.
"A floating continent in space! A divine realm!"
Clearly, the two original God Kings had lived long enough to see all manner of things.
They weren't fooled by appearances.
Though it was their first time seeing a divine realm built like a giant space carrier, it didn't stop them from identifying the dense divine energy unique to divine realms.
Alongside the arrival of the Divine Ark Continent came intense planar pressure and spatial barriers.
In the New Divine Realm, even God Kings found long-range teleportation difficult—unlike the freedom they had in regular space.
At that moment, Di Tian emerged on beams of nine-colored divine light, his voice echoing:
"It's been a long time, you two."
"Are you satisfied with this welcome gift?"
Behind Di Tian, thousands of dragons soared.
The Dragon Graveyard—once the site of the dragons' decline—was now the land of their resurgence.
The flowing dragon energy, combined with Di Tian's fully booked schedule, signaled the arrival of a new golden age for dragonkind.
Around the dancing dragons stood a multitude of deities of various races.
In an instant, a light pillar shot up from the divine energy core of the realm—the Divine Judgment Array, guarded by countless gods, activated.
Formations like One Origin, Two Forces, Three Talents, and others rapidly stacked.
From within the nine-colored glow behind Di Tian, a towering golden-armored giant—majestic and regal like a god among gods—rose up.
The golden light turned into a blade and struck down like thunder.
No words, no negotiations, no delay.
Their first move was the strongest strike of the Divine Judgment Array.
A golden blade beam capable of tearing through the universe shot toward the two God Kings.
Though deeply shocked, the original Evil and Kindness God Kings were ancient beings who had survived countless millennia. Their combat instincts were engraved in their bones.
