Chapter 194 - 194: The Conquest of the Divine Realm

As the God of Destruction fell, the battle grew increasingly intense. The remaining twelve first-rank deities joined forces against Fang Chang, while the traitor Tang Liner quietly infiltrated the divine ranks.

Facing the seemingly endless swarm of spider soul beasts, the deities felt their scalps tingle. It was as if for every spider they killed, ten more would rush out from the spatial rift.

With fewer than a thousand of them facing over ten billion spiders, the situation was truly overwhelming.

Moreover, as the spider numbers grew, the defensive line formed by the deities was continuously pushed back.

The more ground cleared near the spatial rift, the more territory the spiders could occupy. With losses mounting on both sides, the Divine Realm found itself at a disadvantage.

Meanwhile, the Bloodwing Demon Spiders that had previously charged deep into the Divine Realm began wreaking havoc.

The deities left guarding the inner regions of the Divine Realm were quickly overwhelmed and locked in desperate combat.

On Fang Chang's side, he split into four clones, growing more ferocious against the twelve first-rank deities' combined assault. Relying on his formidable defense, he withstood their attacks while focusing his assault on one or two at a time.

The targeted first-rank deities groaned in frustration, forced to retreat repeatedly. Though their comrades wanted to assist, they found themselves powerless against Fang Chang's tactics.

Surprisingly, Xiao Bai was the first to conclude her battle. Facing the God of Good, she gradually gained the upper hand and ultimately used her innate "God Devourer" skill to consume his divine authority, slaying him.

Not only had she successfully killed a deity, but her own power had surged dramatically, bringing her close to Fang Chang's level.

After eliminating the God of Good, she swiftly joined Fang Chang's battle. The first-rank deities, already struggling against Fang Chang, now faced even greater pressure, and casualties quickly mounted.

The most cheerful participant, however, was Tang Liner. Taking advantage of her status as a first-rank deity, she quietly approached second- and third-rank deities engaged with the spiders and stabbed them in the back.

As the saying goes, open blades are easy to dodge, but hidden daggers are hard to guard against—especially when they come from an ally.

Those struck by her, even if not killed immediately, suffered severe injuries and were soon overwhelmed by the spider swarms, meeting their end.

Now older and wiser, no longer the reckless girl she once was, she carried out her assassinations with subtlety, striking over a dozen times without revealing herself.

The number of deities still capable of fighting dwindled, while the spider clan's losses, though significant, seemed negligible due to their overwhelming numbers.

The tide of battle had clearly shifted, with victory leaning more and more toward Fang Chang's side.

After some time, Fang Chang seized an opportunity to send a clone to ambush the God of Evil, helping the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger eliminate his opponent. Their freed-up combat power surged once again.

By this point, only seven first-rank deities remained, and the only Godking-level combatant left was the Goddess of Life, locked in bitter combat with Gu Yue, the Silver Dragon King.

Seeing that all was lost, the Goddess of Life's eyes filled with sorrow. With a wave of her Life Ancient Tree, massive branches erupted from the ground, temporarily restraining Gu Yue.

Then, in a flash, she sought out the God of Space. After a brief exchange, the two opened a spatial portal together.

"Deities of the Divine Realm, we retreat! When the time comes, we shall return!" Though a painful decision, it was the best way to preserve the Divine Realm's strength.

After giving the order, she stepped through the portal first, followed closely by the remaining deities still fighting.

Fang Chang watched them leave but made no move to pursue. His objective had already been achieved. Without the Divine Realm, the fleeing deities had lost access to the resources of countless worlds and would pose little threat in the future. He could hunt them down at his leisure.

In the end, nearly a thousand deities were routed by Fang Chang's spider swarm tactics, and the vast Divine Realm finally became his domain.

A post-battle tally revealed the spider clan had lost over four billion members—nearly half their total forces.

The Divine Realm's losses were similar, with more than five hundred deities slain.

The difference, however, was that the spiders could recover their numbers within a year given sufficient resources.

The Divine Realm, on the other hand, had exhausted centuries of accumulated power and lost their home. The victor was clear.

After the war, Fang Chang ascended to the throne once occupied by the five Godkings, reorganizing the Divine Realm's hierarchy.

Himself, Xiao Bai, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and Gu Yue naturally became the new generation of chief gods. The final seat was granted to Tang Liner in recognition of her pivotal contributions.

The position of Goddess of Life went to Gu Yue, as if destined. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger became the new Godking of Slaughter.

Xiao Bai assumed the role of Godking of Evil, while Tang Liner inherited the Asura God's position. As for Fang Chang himself, he bestowed upon himself the title of Godking of Benevolence.

At least in his own view, he was quite benevolent. (LOL)

Beneath them, the eighteen first-rank deity positions couldn't immediately be filled. Only the Rakshasa God and Angel God remained. Though the Golden Trio sisters hadn't yet reached god-level strength, they were granted first-rank deity status as placeholders, collectively inheriting the Sea God's title.

Of course, these appointments were largely ceremonial, carrying little real authority. They couldn't truly inherit divine authorities that had been shattered with their predecessors' deaths.

With the appointments concluded, Fang Chang opened channels connecting the Divine Realm to various worlds, dispatching the remaining tens of billions of spiders to different realms. This resolved their resource issues and ensured the spider clan's continued expansion.

He believed that in the near future, the spider clan would dominate all realms, becoming the strongest race across existence.

Finally, Fang Chang issued orders to hunt down the escaped deities. Such formidable enemies couldn't be left unchecked—he merely chose to bide his time to minimize further losses among his offspring.

"Master, does this mean we've truly become gods?" Xiao Bai still found it somewhat unreal. There was a time when deities had been lofty beings beyond her reach, yet now they had crushed them beneath their feet.

Fang Chang patted her head. "Of course. The Divine Realm is ours now."

With Gu Yue and Bibi Dong present, he couldn't outright call it the spider clan's Divine Realm, so he settled for "ours."

Gu Yue, standing nearby, curled her lip but said nothing. She hadn't been optimistic about this war, yet the outcome had exceeded her expectations, making her view Fang Chang in a new light.

With the war over, peace temporarily returned to the Divine Realm.

This tranquility lasted nearly thirty years—until one day, Fang Chang suddenly jolted awake, his gaze snapping toward a distant point, his expression grave.

Something was wrong in the Douluo World. The spider clan there had been nearly exterminated. Though the once-thriving Spider God Cult's followers still worshipped fervently, their faith power no longer reached him...
