Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"I hate it most when people threaten me with the ones close to me," Xu Ran said coldly, his intent to kill not hidden at all. In this world, to truly be unfettered, one must stand above everyone else. His strength was already top-tier in Soul Land, but he was still a bit weaker when facing the gods of the Divine Realm.

"Well, that is an honor for me, to be someone you hate, I think that's very nice," the Evil God sneered. In his eyes, Xu Ran was nothing and would die sooner or later.

"You are nothing but an ant from the lower realms, and we have the right to decide everything about you," the Evil God said with superiority.

"Even a god, if not careful, could be shattered to pieces," Xu Ran stepped forward, his aura fully unleashed, and in that moment, his presence was in no way inferior to that of the Evil God.

Nine terrifying and pure attributes intermingled beside Xu Ran, the violent power of the attributes continuously hissing, harboring incredibly formidable energy within.

Feeling the aura emanating from Xu Ran, for an instant, the Evil God's complexion slightly changed.

Suddenly, he felt a presence from Xu Ran that made even his own heart palpitate.

At that moment, his gaze completely changed.

It had been many years since he'd felt this way.

Not even the Destruction God or the Asura God could evoke this feeling in him.

Xu Ran had not yet ascended to godhood, so why could he instill fear in him?

Not only that, the Destruction God's face was also serious.

He could tell that Xu Ran's strength had improved again. How long had it been? Xu Ran's "Cultivation Level" had risen so swiftly?

He, who had not taken Xu Ran seriously before, suddenly felt a sense of urgency. Although he was a Divine King, his strength had now stabilized, and it was difficult to make much more progress. But Xu Ran's strength was continuously rising.

If Xu Ran continued to develop at this pace, would he really be able to restrain Xu Ran in the future?

"Xu Ran, your strength has grown stronger again," said the Destruction God, his presence as if he could destroy all things in the world. As the most arrogant Divine King in the Divine Realm, he now looked at Xu Ran with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

The rate at which Xu Ran's strength increased made his skin crawl.

In the past, in the human world, prodigies often emerged.

These prodigies cultivated swiftly, and their strengths increased rapidly.

But these prodigies also had their limits, and once they reached the level of a Soul Master, a Titled Douluo, their advancement in strength slowed down.

Previously, he also believed that no matter how quickly Xu Ran's strength soared, there would eventually be a bottleneck.

But now his confidence was somewhat shaken.

Before, Xu Ran's presence was far behind him, but now, facing him, it seemed like they might be evenly matched.

"Destroyer Your Highness, that's not very nice. After all, I am your benefactor," Xu Ran looked at the Destruction God, who he knew well that none of these gods from the Divine Realm were good.

Gods and humans are the same in nature, and in fact, they can be even more paranoid due to the influence of their Divine Power attributes.

Apart from their great strength, they really weren't much different from the big villains in the human world.

"Huh? Humph. That's just a transaction between us. If you didn't help me, I would have killed you. Since you helped me, you get to live a few more years," the Destruction God said with a slight change in his face, rebuking.

The Destruction God never owed anyone anything.

As for Xu Ran, if he were not an enemy of the Divine Realm, he might have acknowledged Xu Ran's favor. But Xu Ran was destined to be the Divine Realm's greatest foe. Such a person could only die.

They would not let Xu Ran ascend to godhood, for if Xu Ran did, his strength might well surpass theirs. Having been Divine Kings for so long, they were not willing to have anyone of a higher status than them.

"Truly worthy of a Divine King, indeed formidable," Xu Ran scoffed.

He had long known the true colors of these Divine Kings.

With the attributes of the Destruction God and Evil God involved, it was impossible for them to be up to any good.

Even if they had been decent before, under the influence of Divine Power, they would turn bad.

Luckily, he wasn't at a loss, having kept a card up his sleeve against the ungrateful bastard, the Destruction God. If he were to tell him now that the child wasn't his, he wondered if it would make him die of anger?

"Xu Ran, what are you smiling about?" Seeing a sinister smile suddenly appear on Xu Ran's face. For some reason, the Destruction God felt a thump in his heart, a sense of ominous premonition.

And his scalp was tingling too, as if foreshadowing something.

The Destruction God thought about it but couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

Now, Xu Ran was already someone they could control.

In the future, Xu Ran must act according to their wishes; otherwise, he'll surely die.

In such a situation, he really couldn't think of how Xu Ran could still affect him.

"It's nothing."

"Xu Ran, as long as you can let Shan Liang and I have a child, I can spare your life. I will give you one year. For one year, as long as you don't become a god, I won't interfere with anything you do. After one year, no matter how much you've grown, I'll still come to kill you," the Evil God said after pondering for a moment.

He knew what kind of person Xu Ran was.

This deal was extremely beneficial for both him and Xu Ran.

Xu Ran would have an extra year to grow, and he would be able to fulfill his desire to have a child.

In one year's time, he didn't believe Xu Ran could continue growing.

For a Soul Master, the Title Douluo of the 99th Rank is the limit.

Even if Xu Ran advanced to the Ultimate Douluo, he would definitely not be their match.

As for becoming a god?

The gods of the Divine Realm would not bestow godhood upon Xu Ran.

They were in control; it was impossible for Xu Ran to have any hope of becoming a god.

"Aren't you afraid that after one year, my strength will surpass yours?" Xu Ran said with a sinister smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. One year was enough for him.

"Haha. Xu Ran, who do you think you are? How much stronger do you think you can get in one year? There are plenty of experts in the Divine Realm; we are not afraid of you."

"Right. I've heard you have a pretty good relationship with the Silver Dragon King who escaped from the Divine Realm? Didn't expect that, Xu Ran, you really have some skills. Playing with women, you're indeed great. I was planning to capture her after descending to the human world, but seeing as we are collaborating, I'll let it slide for now. After one year, I'll deal with you both," the Evil God said with a somewhat playful look as he sized up Xu Ran.

He couldn't help feeling jealous.

Xu Ran, a Mortal, though somewhat talented, having so many beautiful women around him, even he felt quite annoyed.

What man doesn't want a harem?

Only, Shan Liang would not allow him to do so.

She wouldn't really get angry about other things he did, but if he did something that wronged Shan Liang, it would be the end of their relationship.

After the Evil God finished speaking, he left. The Destruction God followed, wanting to see Xiao Lü and how their child was doing.
