The flow of time in the Eternal Domain is different from that of Douluo Continent. A millennium inside is merely a moment outside.

Thus, when Tang San emerged, the Soul Weapon Manor remained unchanged. Xiao Wu and the others were still at their posts, working and studying, with no one having returned yet.

The moment the little werewolf, Mengmeng, and Niannian stepped into the Douluo Dimension, the first thing they sensed was that the world's energy here was somewhat thin.

Although the entire Spirit City was blessed by the Blue Silver Emperor, combined with the support of Blue Silver Grass and the research into formation techniques to gather spiritual energy, there was still a significant gap compared to the Eternal Domain.

Soon after, the little werewolf realized that it seemed like the rules of this dimension were targeting him, sealing his god-level power. Only then did the oppressive feeling vanish.

"Teacher, what is going on?" the little werewolf asked, puzzled.

"This world has a selfish rule set by the previous Dragon God: before the emergence of a new Dragon God, no other beast species may become gods," Tang San explained the truth. "You should be thankful that this world's rules didn't classify you as a soul beast. Otherwise, if something happened to you, you'd lose your spirit ring."

That's the frustrating part about Douluo Continent's rules.

Fortunately, the little werewolf was a species with inherent intelligence, similar to humans, so he could be considered a human offshoot. Otherwise, the world's rules would have classified him as a soul beast without a doubt.

Come to think of it, in the original work, those wolf bandits didn't drop spirit rings after death... It's likely they were the prototype of the native beastmen of Douluo Continent.

Sadly, due to environmental factors and the influence of their soul beast bloodline, wolf bandits were born bloodthirsty, making it nearly impossible for them to form a civilization...

"Dragon God?" The little werewolf, already unimpressed with the dragon race after learning about the sacred dragons on Dragon God Island collecting faith power, now found that this world's dragons were just as overbearing, cutting off the chances of other beast species to break through—

How despicable!

However, the little werewolf didn't empathize much with soul beasts. After all, he was a beastman, not a soul beast, and he simply disliked the Dragon God's actions.

"Don't bother looking for the Dragon God. He's already dead. There might be remnants of his divine soul, but his being has split into two parts, and one of them has already..." Before Tang San could finish, one half of the Dragon God, Gu Yuena, appeared. Her small nose twitched as she said, "I smell something unfamiliar. Two spirits, somewhat similar to Luo Qiu... and... a wolf walking upright? A wolf bandit?"

Gu Yuena knew all too well what wolf bandits were: a half-human, half-soul beast species born from the union of wolf-type soul beasts with dragon blood and human women.

They weren't human—intelligent, but not much, and inherently bloodthirsty.

Nor were they soul beasts—after death, they wouldn't drop spirit rings.

But this "wolf bandit" before her seemed a bit different. Not only was his strength excessively powerful, reaching god-level, though suppressed at Rank 99, but his glowing green eyes were vibrant and intelligent. His bloodline was pure, not like a hybrid.

"Don't be so rude. He's my disciple, Peter Jack Trass Griffinel," Tang San introduced. "He comes from a dimension known as the Eternal Domain. He's of the beastman race, from the Howling Moon Wolf King lineage. His power has reached god-level... though he's not a soul beast, he's still restricted by the Dragon God's rules in this dimension."

Gu Yuena felt slightly embarrassed. After all, the Dragon God was her "past self" and "father god."

Given that, the restriction on this guy's power was ultimately her responsibility.

But under the Dragon God's rules, as long as one wasn't fully human, even beastmen were categorized as beasts?

And his bloodline really was pure...

Wait a second!

The Eternal Domain?

"Just now, I didn't notice—your spirit power has reached Rank 97?!" Gu Yuena examined Tang San closely, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg. "Did you acquire that complete divine weapon?"

"Hmm." Tang San patted Gu Yuena's head and briefly described the situation within the Eternal Domain, then added, "When I make a move, success is only natural."

"Oh wow!" Gu Yuena's silver eyes gleamed with excitement. If her true form could enter the Eternal Domain, she could easily regain her peak condition in no time.

Moreover, besides this little werewolf, there were three other god-level powerhouses and the divine consciousness left by a creator god: the Lord of Eternity. Coupled with Tang San's own Blue Silver Emperor and the Starry Sky Realm, establishing their own God Realm was only a matter of time, rendering the current God Realm unnecessary.

Given her relationship with Tang San, wouldn't borrowing a bit of power in the future be a matter of minutes?

The possibilities were endless!

"Don't get too excited, take it slow." Tang San, knowing what Gu Yuena was contemplating, sighed inwardly. The God Realm wasn't that easy to deal with. Their enemies weren't just the Five God Kings but also the whole hierarchy of first-, second-, and third-level gods, along with divine officials.

Among them, some might not follow orders, but such gods were a rare minority. Most were naturally aligned with the Five God Kings.

Although the Goddess of Life had taken Tang San as her godson, and the God of Destruction might also view him favorably, Tang San knew that as long as he stayed away from the God Realm, he would offend their pride. Unless he displayed overwhelming power, he'd have to quietly build his strength and wait for the right moment to act.

Of course, the God Realm was monotonous, and some gods sought to pass on their divine thrones to venture into a broader universe. Perhaps there was a way to lure them away.

Politics, as they say, works best when you make more friends and fewer enemies, as that wise teacher once said.

"Win some over, intimidate others, and eliminate the rest—this is the key to growth, right?" Gu Yuena wasn't a stranger to these ideas. After all, Spirit Hall had developed over the years using such tactics. Could this approach also be applied to the gods of the God Realm?

Tang San confirmed, "Of course."

Some gods in the God Realm were always eager to pass on their divine thrones. Didn't that prove how dull the God Realm was?

The best example would be the Sea God.

He was a native deity of Douluo Continent who had ascended to godhood a thousand years ago.

Given the time flow difference—one day in the God Realm equaling one year in the mortal world—he had only been in the God Realm for about a thousand days, which rounded out to just over three years.

Yet, he couldn't tolerate staying in the God Realm and longed to leave.

Perhaps he had realized the limitations of faith power, but it was undeniable that even though the God Realm didn't lack resources, its spiritual pleasures were minimal.

You could see this from the fact that the two Supreme God Kings entertained themselves by using Ji Dong and Lie Yan for a bet. It showed that the two God Kings had next to no spiritual enjoyment.

For something as simple as love, they needed a wager to validate it. They could have easily learned about human relationships from those ascending to the God Realm with newly inherited divine thrones. But instead, they tormented a married couple and had the audacity to call it a "test."

Setting aside other reasons, with such Supreme God Kings around, no deity who ascended from the lower realm would feel secure.

After all, if these two dared to meddle with a mortal and a god's love today, who's to say they wouldn't amuse themselves with two gods' affairs tomorrow? Who would want to stay in a place like that?
