Chapter 349: Unlocking Di Leina's Gene Lock

Di Hongkun stopped paying attention to Di Leina and turned his head to speak to Ye Cang and Kaisha.

"You are called Ye Cang, the newly ascended Main God of Earth."

"You made Di Leina acknowledge you as her King, and you even fought your way to Lieyang and killed many Lieyang Warriors; if I were to hold this against you, you wouldn't be able to walk out of Lieyang."

"However, considering that we are both Main Gods, and Pan Zhen was also at fault, this matter shall end here."

"Return to Earth; I will not pursue any trouble with you."

"As for Holy Keisha, what is going on with you?"

As these words left Di Hongkun's mouth, Kaisha was stunned.

Kaisha looked at Di Hongkun's Spirit Body with a strange expression.

A thought drifted through her mind.

Di Hongkun has been a Spirit Body for too long; his brain must have stopped working properly.

Pan Zhen just said it earlier: Ye Cang is her King.

And yet, this is how Di Hongkun treats Ye Cang?

This is not only failing to give her face, but also failing to give Ye Cang face; not to mention the lack of respect, he didn't even place the other party in the position of a Main God.

From beginning to end, it was a tone of command.

But Kaisha did not speak out of turn; instead, she glanced at Ye Cang.

She wanted to use this method to remind Di Hongkun that Ye Cang was the one truly in charge.

Yet Di Hongkun directly ignored Kaisha's reminder.

He continued on his own, asking: "Holy Keisha, why have you been resurrected? Weren't you already fallen!"

"Answer me!"

Kaisha still did not speak, but Ye Cang did.

"Di Hongkun, watch the tone you use when you speak; the three of us are all Main Gods of our civilizations, and our status is equal."

"Who are you trying to impress with that high-and-mighty tone?"

Di Hongkun was startled for a moment, then let out a stiff laugh.

"Hahaha."

"Equal status?"

"Hahaha, that truly makes this old man laugh!"

"When Lieyang was carrying out its grand God-Making Project, Earth hadn't even produced humans yet; how dare you speak of equal status?"

"Do you really think that defeating Lieyang's warriors is enough?"

"Don't forget, Leina is also a Main God; although she is the Sun of Light and can bestow grace upon all things, she can also destroy everything! You! By what right do you say Earth and Lieyang are equals!"

Standing to the side, Di Leina heard these words from Di Hongkun, and her face displayed a mixture of emotions, including surprise, disappointment, and others.

She had not expected that Lieyang would have such an arrogant attitude toward Earth.

The contempt for Earth was not hidden in the slightest.

And there was what Pan Zhen often told her, that her grandfather said the true meaning of the Sun of Light was rebirth.

But now...

And she finally understood why Pan Zhen was the way he was.

But there was still a glimmer of fantasy in Di Leina's heart.

Di Hongkun is her own grandfather; once he knows about the grievances she has suffered, he will surely help her, instead of acting like he is now.

As for not helping her... no... that shouldn't be... he is her only remaining relative.

(Don't ask me where Di Leina's mother and grandmother went? I don't know either!)

After hearing Di Hongkun's words, Ye Cang did not have much of a reaction.

Because Di Hongkun's reaction was entirely within his expectations; it was exactly how it should be.

A First Generation Sun God, surely he must be arrogant.

He must continue to be arrogant; if he doesn't remain arrogant, Di Leina's stance will change.

Thus, Ye Cang deliberately revealed a look of anger.

"Earth isn't qualified? Then Kaisha must be! She is the King of Gods of the Known Universe, and she is my subordinate."

Now, Kaisha, who was beside Ye Cang, stepped forward.

"Di Hongkun, Ye Cang is right; if he isn't qualified, then I certainly am!"

"Stop using Leina to threaten us!"

"Do you want the tragedy of Deno from ten thousand years ago to repeat itself! Don't forget the oath you swore!"

"Also, I am the King of Gods, Holy Keisha!"

As her voice fell, Joyeuse appeared in Kaisha's hand, its tip pointing at Di Hongkun.

"Do you really think I have no way to deal with your Spirit Body? You really think of yourself as Taikong!"

But even so, Di Hongkun did not change his attitude; instead, he said coldly: "Pan Zhen, unlock Leina's Gene Lock."

"Unlock it to the level of a Supernova Explosion."

Di Hongkun's meaning was very clear: others might fear you, Holy Keisha, but I do not.

I have a Supernova Explosion to deal with you; you had better be sensible, let's each go back to our own homes and act as if nothing happened.

Pan Zhen immediately took the order.

Di Leina, standing to the side, could no longer watch.

She spoke up to interrupt everything.

"Grandfather!"

"Didn't you say that I am the Sun of Light meant to illuminate the darkness! Why are you forcing me to trigger a Supernova Explosion now!"

"By doing this, you are breaking your promise!"

Facing Di Leina's words, Di Hongkun only said: "What you say is indeed correct, Leina."

"But, now that the enemy has reached our doorstep and Lieyang is on the verge of ceasing to exist, what is the point of talking about promises at a time like this! To preserve Lieyang, I will spare no cost!"

"Pan Zhen!"

"This old subject obeys!"

As Pan Zhen's voice fell, the Gene Lock within Di Leina's body was unlocked layer by layer, a full five layers in total.

This meant that Di Leina could now use a Supernova Explosion.

At this moment, Di Leina only felt her connection with the Sun deepen infinitely, and mobilizing solar energy became even simpler.

Many things that were impossible to do in the past could now be done with ease.

Besides that, she felt as if she were losing control.

Facing the current situation, it would be a lie to say Kaisha was not panicked.

After all, she had been blown to death by a Supernova once before; if she were to be blown to death again, and by Lieyang at that, it would be a massive embarrassment.

Fortunately, Ye Cang had given her a sense of reassurance.

"She won't be able to use it, just keep watching," Ye Cang told Kaisha via the communication channel.

Kaisha chose to trust Ye Cang.

"What is going on..." Di Leina said with some panic, "Why do I feel like I am somewhat..."

Before she could finish her sentence, endless solar energy surged into Di Leina's body, causing the temperature inside the Tiandao Tower to rise rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the Tiandao Tower had already reached a high temperature of over a thousand degrees.

"No!"

Di Leina shouted.

She tried hard to control the solar energy, attempting to return everything to its original state, but no matter how hard she tried, she simply could not regain control of her body.

A terrified Di Leina turned her head to look at Di Hongkun.

"Grandfather, what are you doing?!"

"Are you trying to use my hands to launch a Giant Solar Flare?!"

"Stop!"

"Aren't you curious why I brought Ye Cang to Lieyang to kill Pan Zhen! Aren't you curious about what Pan Zhen actually did to me to make me end up like this!"

But Di Hongkun's subsequent reply left Di Leina feeling utterly hopeless.
