However, in response to Rong Nianbing's inquiry, Tang San showed no panic at all.
As if he had anticipated it, he calmly replied, "You can't put all your eggs in one basket. We can't rely solely on the plan proposed by the other six Divine Realms."
"I've now managed to establish a connection with the Douluo Plane, where I originated."
"This naturally requires drawing a large amount of energy from the Divine Realm's Core to project an anchor point that closely binds the Divine Realm and the Douluo Plane together."
"In this way, whether it's us in the Divine Realm returning to the Douluo Plane from the black hole, or the new talents on the Douluo Plane coming to support the Divine Realm, it will provide tremendous assistance."
Tang San's prepared speech was entirely reasonable and comprehensive, leaving little room for objection.
However, those truly powerful deities were not easily fooled. Anything capable of crossing the vast starry sea to serve as an anchor between two planes could not be an ordinary item—it had to be something fundamental to the Divine Realm.
As the former King of the Gods, Tang San naturally had such an item.
But… which one did he use?
Before Rong Nianbing could ask this question on behalf of the other gods, Tang San preemptively answered it himself.
Emerald green and deep purple energy waves spread on either side of Tang San—Destruction and Life, two opposing yet intertwined forces.
The God of Destruction's divine inheritance seed: a five-pointed hollow crystal, exquisitely beautiful.
The God of Life's divine inheritance seed: a droplet-shaped crystal glowing with vibrant green, symbolizing the source of life.
These two divine artifacts represented not only the passing on of divine positions but also the hopes of two factions.
After all, both the God of Destruction (Zi) and the God of Life (Lu) had personally told their many loyal first-level gods that they would return after ten thousand years.
After the God of Shura, the Evil God, and the Kind God had passed down their divine positions, most of the older generation of first-level gods chose to join the factions of the Destruction and Life Gods.
Thus, the two divine inheritance seeds entrusted to Tang San had become the spiritual anchors for these gods.
Now, seeing that both seeds were still in Tang San's possession, most of the gods breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that the gods would strictly oppose using these two seeds, but if Tang San had used them without their masters' permission, that would be another matter entirely.
Therefore, the divine item Tang San had just sent out was most likely the Shura God's inheritance seed.
But… did the accompanying super divine weapon, the Shura Sword, get sent out as well?
Without the protection of the Shura Sword, could the inheritance seed really safely cross the vast cosmos?
And without the most powerful offensive divine weapon in the Divine Realm, could they still defeat the six other Divine Realms?
The matter concerned the survival of the Divine Realm, and Tang San's seemingly unilateral decision naturally caused dissatisfaction.
Yet, Tang San still gave them a satisfactory answer.
Standing with his hands behind his back, the one hidden hand began to glow with a jade-like luster. A divine sausage appeared, radiating a sacred light, and was gradually dissolved by his Mysterious Jade Hand.
After Oscar inherited the God of Food's position, his unique food-type Spirit Tool from the Douluo Plane evolved into a divine artifact, and his soul skills evolved into divine skills.
His sixth soul skill—Imitate—had shone brilliantly in Tang San's battle against the God of Destruction, successfully replicating the abilities of the Shura God and the Shura Sword.
Now, it once again demonstrated its brilliance.
As the divine skill took effect, the Shura God's divine position reappeared behind Tang San, and nine divine rings—symbolizing god-king-level power—manifested.
In his hand still rested the matchless super divine weapon Shura Sword.
However, this effect lasted only a moment before Tang San returned to his normal state.
He spoke lightly, yet with boundless god-king authority:
"Everyone, the enemy is upon us. I still need your support in replenishing the energy of the heavily depleted Divine Core. Please return and make your preparations."
"After all, the energy shortfall from this activation of the Divine Core is indeed quite serious."
Though he never explicitly said what he sent to the Douluo Plane…
Relying on what he displayed and his accumulated authority, he successfully suppressed the unrest among the gods.
Seeing that all questions had been answered and pushing further would seem aggressive, the gods chose to withdraw.
As the gods departed, Tang San let out a breath of relief.
He still had even more reassuring assets he hadn't revealed.
But he didn't intend to reveal them—because some things were more powerful when kept in the shadows.
For example: his hidden Blue Silver Emperor, Hao Tian Hammer, and the Seagod Eight Wings, evolved from his Eight Spider Lances.
These artifacts, born from his Spirit Tools and external spirit bones, had all evolved into divine-grade items under his god-king-level nourishment and could be considered top-tier pseudo super divine weapons.
Especially the Seagod Eight Wings, evolved from the Eight Spider Lances, had already reached the peak of divine artifacts.
They only needed a spark to fully evolve into true super divine weapons.
Just like in the past—on the battlefield of the Douluo Soul Tournament—when, as a Soul Sect, he used the Eight Spider Lances and unwavering confidence to defeat the formidable martial soul fusion technique Enchantress used by Hu Liena and Xie Yue from the Spirit Hall, a duo with power comparable to a Soul Sage.
Tang San believed the Seagod Eight Wings would help him defeat many god-kings—just as the Eight Spider Lances once had.
Just as his master Yu Xiaogang once said: calculate a 100% probability of victory for the whole team.
Looking in the direction Tang San gazed toward, his vision crossed the endless starry sea.
Back on Douluo Continent, in the hidden small plane where Tang San's divine sense and Tang Wulin's real body were located—
Tang Wulin had completed the inheritance of the Shura God, becoming the new Shura God.
The Shura God's divine position floated behind him, and the super divine weapon Shura Sword circled around him.
At the center, Tang Wulin was now clad in a full set of blood-red divine armor.
Even his original four-word battle armor had undergone a fundamental transformation under the nourishment of divine power and consciousness—evolving into a five-word divine battle armor, now reaching the rank of a divine artifact.
The fusion of the Shura God Armor and his five-word armor allowed him to match the power of a top-tier divine artifact—a peak-level pseudo super divine weapon.
Beside him, Tang San's divine sense observed all this and nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad."
"Just a bit more steady cultivation, and you'll step into the god-king realm."
"By then, that mere Ditian will be no more than a paper tiger."
Tang San had full confidence that Tang Wulin would break through to the god-king level in just a short time.
Because he was working to recondense the Seagod divine position.
Having two divine positions coexist would greatly accelerate one's progression in divinity.
Once the Seagod position reformed, his son Tang Wulin would become the second Asura of the Thousand Hands, continuing Tang San's former glory and honor.
"Ssshh—"
Relying on the power of belief from all the forces helping to rebuild Shrek Academy and revive the Tang Sect, the Seagod divine position, previously shattered by Tang San, was gradually being restored.
However, just when he was full of confidence and pride—
"Crack!"
—The Seagod divine position shattered again!
