Destruction God vs Tang SanIn the story of the Douluo Continent, the God of Destruction and Tang San's philosophy of existence didn't merge, resulting in a conflict.
The God of Destruction was one of the five great divine kings of the Douluo Divine Realm, wielding the super divine weapon Scepter of Destruction. He wanted to expand the Divine Realm and upgrade it to a divine star, but he despised Tang San for being stuck in his own place, so he launched a coup to seize power and even imprisoned Tang San and Xiao Wu. His foundation was deep, existing from the day the Divine Realm was formed. In the Divine Realm battle with Tang San he used the super divine ability--
Tang San first became a level one god Seagod, then inherited the Asura Deity Position and coexisted with Xiao Wu. Although he might not be as good as the God of Destruction in terms of foundation, he had relied on his own ability and wisdom to defeat the God of Destruction. In order to help Lan Xuanyu succeed the new Dragon God, Tang San passed the God of Destruction's position to his son, Tang Wulin.
Eastern Gods VS Western GodsThere were many differences between the eastern gods and the western gods.
In terms of cultural content, Western gods used ancient Greek mythology as an example. They had a more systematic pedigree. For example, using Hesiod's Theognomy as a standard, there was a generation of gods, a second generation of gods, and other inheritances. The gods had complex ethical family relationships, including incest between mother and son, child patricide, and the combination of humans and gods. Moreover, their mythological stories often reflected specific cultural values, such as the combination of epic and tragic characteristics reflected in War of the Gods. It reflected the complex choices of human nature in the face of divinity, desire, power, and so on. The eastern gods were often closely related to the eastern religious culture and philosophy. For example, the god system in Mahayana Buddhism was related to Buddhist doctrines.
In terms of image creation, the western gods were like Aphrodite in Greek mythology. She was created with a charming appearance and many romantic affairs. She used a magical belt to charm everyone to maintain her youthful charm and was vengeful. On the other hand, most of the eastern gods had positive and moral characteristics such as holiness, solemnity, and compassion.
In fictional novels or games, the comparison of strength between the two was also presented differently. In some novels, western gods such as Zeus and Apollo, and eastern gods such as Houyi, Sun Wukong, and Yama, the eastern gods displayed greater strength and could easily defeat the western gods. In terms of games, for example," Party of Gods " gathered gods from China, Greece, Northern Europe, Egypt, and other mythological stories from all over the world. These gods had different skills according to the game settings, and players could freely combine them for strategic battles. There was no direct indication of who was stronger between the eastern gods and the western gods. In general, the comparison between the Eastern Gods and the Western Gods depended on which perspective one looked at them from. Whether it was culture, image, or power in fictional works, they all had their own characteristics.
