16: The might of the divine ruler! That looks like my home!

"Ang...!!!"

A long dragon roar echoed out.

The three of them were stunned and looked toward the west in unison.

In the pitch-black night, something seemed to be brewing in that distant place.

Chrysanthemum Douluo said in surprise, "This feeling is too strange, it's as if a true god is present..."

Ghost Douluo trembled, swallowing hard, his face filled with terror.

Divinity... he sensed it most clearly, and he was the most afraid.

"Terrifying..."

Spirit Kite Douluo sneered and glanced at the two of them.

Although she said nothing, the contempt in her eyes was unconcealed.

"Look at the clouds in the sky!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly pointed at the sky.

The night sky, which had been cloudless with bright stars and a clear moon, was now rapidly gathering a thick layer of dark clouds, veiling the brilliant starlight.

Yet, it didn't feel oppressive at all.

It was as if a vibrant life force was brewing within.

Chrysanthemum Douluo cried out incoherently, "This... how the hell could a Titled Douluo do this? Even if you gathered every Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent, they couldn't create such a massive scene across hundreds of miles!"

His expression was somewhat frenzied as he stared at Spirit Kite Douluo.

"A god! It must be a god... That fear arising from the depths of my heart, I—I'm afraid. I don't want to face him..."

Ghost Douluo's face was pale, devoid of any color. He took several steps back, looking as if he might faint at any moment.

Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly supported him, "Old Ghost, what's wrong?"

"You two... are truly useless!"

Spirit Kite Douluo gritted her teeth.

At that moment, a figure suddenly flew out from the peak of the Clear Sky Sect, streaking toward the horizon.

"Tang Xiao has come out! Prepare to surround and kill him!"

Spirit Kite Douluo said immediately.

"No, it's no use, I need to rest..." Ghost Douluo slumped on the ground, staring at the sky in terror.

Chrysanthemum Douluo also shook his head, "I have to stay with Old Ghost. The Supreme Pontiff didn't say we definitely had to kill Tang Xiao; we just need to figure out what's going on."

"Useless trash!!!"

Spirit Kite Douluo cursed through gritted teeth, "Then I'll go myself. I'll first figure out what's playing god, and then find a way to kill Tang Xiao!"

Fire erupted from Spirit Kite Douluo's body as she transformed into a giant flaming kite, soaring into the sky at high speed... Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"Ang...!!!"

Faint dragon roars echoed one after another.

Yu Yuanzhen was discussing matters with Yu Luomian when he suddenly heard the sound and immediately rushed out of the room.

They looked up at the starry sky from the doorway; it was pitch black, completely obscured by dark clouds.

Yu Luomian frowned, "It's coming again? It's only been a few days."

Yu Yuanzhen said, "Regardless, let's figure it out first! Second Brother, do you feel as if something important has vanished from your heart...?"

Yu Yuanzhen clutched his chest, his brow slightly furrowed.

This inexplicable feeling bothered him greatly.

Yu Luomian realized and nodded slightly, "I have that feeling too, Big Brother. What... what does this portend? We haven't lost anything, have we?"

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been flourishing over these years..."

Yu Luomian added in his heart: Under my management!

The two were silent for a moment, neither able to figure it out.

But such a premonition could not be without cause.

After all, at their Realm, there was bound to be some degree of mysticism involved.

Yu Luomian said immediately, "Big Brother, it's definitely not an internal Family matter! Our clan's Disciples and property haven't suffered any losses, and we've even absorbed many branch families. There won't be any losses!"

Yu Yuanzhen patted Yu Luomian's shoulder and smiled, "Of course I trust you, Second Brother. I'll go take a look; perhaps I might even see a god..."

With that, Yu Yuanzhen turned into a bolt of blue lightning and soared into the sky.

Yu Luomian watched the rapidly disappearing lightning, a complex look flashing in his eyes... In the woods near the shrine.

The villagers gave Zhang San a sound thrashing, stripped him of his clothes, and tied him to a tree.

"Zhang San! You're truly a piece of work! We build a shrine, and you want to burn it down. You're from this village too, how can you be so malicious toward us?"

"Nobody knows anyway, let's just kill him here!"

"How dare you damage the shrine! Kill him!!!"

"..."

The crowd was furious, their glares suggesting they wanted to skin him alive.

Zhang San was terrified. He had come to start a fire purely out of sheer malice, to destroy the villagers' last hope.

Now that he was facing death, he finally realized he was wrong!

"Don't, don't kill me! The Count knows I came here. If you kill me, the Count won't let you off!"

Zhang San shouted hurriedly.

"What do you mean? Are you saying Count Jaeger ordered you to do this?"

The villagers pressed him.

Zhang San swallowed. In this situation, he didn't dare to argue and nodded repeatedly, saying:

"Pretty much. Although he didn't say it explicitly, that's what Count Jaeger meant. You know how big shots are—they kill without spilling blood and can't stand to see the commoners' suffering..."

The villagers were so angry they laughed.

"That bastard! He already has so much land, and even in a drought, he can transport water for irrigation. Why is he fixated on us?"

"We really should set a fire and burn everything he owns!"

"Wait, look at the sky..."

The villagers looked up at the sky; dark clouds obscured the moon.

Strangely, even though the clouds blocked the moonlight and starlight,

the ground had not become too dark.

"Lord Divine Dragon has manifested!!!"

"Lord Divine Dragon must have heard our prayers and is going to perform another miracle!"

"..."

The villagers all knelt where they were, kowtowing toward the Divine Dragon Hall.

Tied to the tree, Zhang San curled his lip inwardly. A bunch of fools, did they really think building a shrine would get a response from a god?

Spirit Hall has spread to every corner of the Douluo Continent, yet the God of Angels hasn't manifested!

"Look quickly, what's that over there? It looks like another waterspout! And there's a green light!"

A sharp-eyed villager pointed to the east, where a "slender" stream of water rose from below into the clouds.

"A Dragon Drawing Water! It's Lord Divine Dragon!"

The villagers grew even more excited.

Zhang San blinked hard, thought for a moment, and exclaimed, "Wait, that's not right! Why is there water there... That's the Count's reservoir! Why is it going to the Count's place? Hey, hey, hey!!!"

Zhang San struggled violently, panicking. He was still plotting against the villagers' land, but it turned out the Count's land was the first to suffer!

"...At this time, above a stretch of fertile fields, within the dark clouds, Yu Mengzhang's Divine Soul had combined with Dragon Qi once again to form the Azure Dragon."

The massive dragon god swam through the clouds and opened its mouth to inhale.

A waterspout flew up from the reservoir below.

At the same time, the Azure Dragon was originally the God of the East, presiding over the spring of the four seasons, and possessed unparalleled divine authority over the divinity of plants.

He was now going to transfer all the plant vitality within Count Jaeger's fief!
