"What's there to be arrogant about when you lack strength? Now look, the godhood is destroyed, and there's no longer an Asura God in the world..."
Things were very unfortunate for Tang San, who had clearly already died but was being metaphorically whipped in the heart of the Old Shura God.
"However, this person's strength, although formidable, isn't unmanageable, and he doesn't have the realm of the original Dragon God, so you all can rest assured on this point."
Seeing the Divine Realm's Deities anxious, the Destruction God King reassured them, "I can say with certainty that, with two Divine Kings, there's a seventy percent chance of suppressing Qin Xiao.
If three Divine Kings take action together, then the success rate is up to ninety-nine percent!"
The Life Goddess asked softly, "So, are you planning to initiate a divine war?"
"If not that, then what?"
"But I'm worried that it will lead to widespread suffering. Why can't we make friends with such a powerful opponent? I don't wish to witness the disaster that the Dragon God once brought to the Divine Realm happen again."
"Life, you are still too kindhearted..." The Destruction God King shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with a ruthless glimmer, "An arrow shot cannot be turned back, and now that we've already clashed with Qin Xiao, there is no possibility of a truce.
If you think that reason is not enough, just look at me..."
As he spoke, the Destruction God King suddenly flung open his robe, revealing a body covered in scars.
The Life Goddess and others noticed that on many of these severe wounds, blood was still flowing.
"Tell me, how can I swallow this humiliation?"
Touching the scars on his body, the Destruction God King said coldly.
At this point, the Deities stopped talking.
Because they knew that, given the Destruction God King's personality, there was no way this matter would be laid to rest lightly.
Blood debts could only be repaid with fresh blood.
Which meant that between the Destruction God King and Qin Xiao, only one could survive.
The Life Goddess said, "Summon the deities and start the meeting."
"Fine." The Destruction God King nodded slightly, then cast another glance at the Old Shura God and Poseidon, "Haven't you heard that a meeting of the deities is about to begin?"
"We've heard," Poseidon replied naturally.
"Then why are you still standing here?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Of course, there's a problem," the Destruction God King said coldly, "The two of you have lost your godhood, you are merely divine officers now, with no right to attend such a meeting."
"Well, this..." Poseidon was taken aback upon hearing this.
Was the Destruction God King not kicking someone when they were down?
Even a clay figure has some anger, and he was about to lose his temper.
"Poseidon, let it be..." the Old Shura God stopped Poseidon with a hand, "The Destruction God King is right; we indeed have no right to attend this meeting.
Even if we were once among the ranks of the deities, from the moment we lost our godhood, we could no longer call ourselves True Gods...
According to the rules of the Divine Realm, to say nothing of attending the meeting of the deities, we don't even have the right to inquire about the content of the meeting."
"As expected of the Shura God who once served as a Law Enforcer of the divine world, you understand the rules well," the Destruction God King said, casting a disdainful smile at the two men.
Ah... the Old Shura God shook his head and sighed softly, pulling Poseidon out of the Destruction God Temple.
In that moment, his figure suddenly seemed to age.
The spirit within his heart had died.
Poseidon also calmed down, knowing he had ten thousand grievances but dared not express them.
To this day, everything had changed.
...
Dong dong dong dong...
Not long after they left, the entire Divine Realm echoed with the sonorous tolling of a great bell.
Nine tolls resounded, causing everyone to tense up.
Because this was the highest warning signal in the Divine Realm, it signified the risk of the Divine Realm being destroyed.
One must know, apart from the chaos brought by the Dragon God in the past, there had never been such a terrible event.
"It's a message from the Destruction God Temple; let's go see!"
At this moment, the Divine Realm's Deities could no longer sit still, a shadow of gloom cast over their hearts, as they all hurried toward the location of the Destruction God Temple.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
In an instant, the Divine Realm's Deities descended before the Destruction God Temple like falling stars.
"My lord, the God of Greed requests an audience,"
Among the deities, suddenly a sharp voice spoke up.
The Deities looked and saw a man with a gaunt figure but an unusually large head, his eyes giving off a chilling light, exuding an aura that was a little oppressive or even insane.
One of the Seven Sins... the God of Greed!
Upon witnessing this, the deities quickly diverted their gazes.
For they knew he was not one to be trifled with.
However, no sooner had the voice of the God of Greed faded than another voice arose:
"My lord, the God of Wrath seeks an audience!"
The God of Wrath was a tall, thin man enshrouded in an orange robe, but the aura he emitted was equally formidable.
"My lord, the God of Sloth seeks an audience!"
"My lord, the God of Pride seeks an audience!"
"..."
One after another, voices chimed in, and astoundingly, all of the Seven Sins Gods had arrived.
In the Divine Realm, there were approximately ten thousand ordinary divine officers and celestial hunters, one thousand eight hundred and forty-seven Third-level Deities, two hundred and sixteen Second-level Deities, and only eighteen Level One Deities.
So, one can imagine how rare it was to have seven Level One Gods appear at once.
However.
Today's assembly was not just limited to the Seven Sins Gods.
Above the void, several figures descended, each radiating with the distinct aura of different elements.
The hearts of the deities in the gathering trembled again, for these seven figures were also powerful Level One Gods.
At the forefront, a man dressed in a black robe and a woman in a white gauze dress were holding hands, known throughout the Divine Realm as the Dark God and the Light God.
Following them was a couple.
The man's red hair glowed like burning flames, and his body emitted a scorching aura.
Walking side by side with him was a woman in a blue long dress.
Though not stunningly beautiful, she exuded a gentle and watery grace.
They were the Fire God and Water Goddess from among the Seven Elemental Gods.
Following the Water Goddess and Fire God were the Wind God in green clothing, the Space God in grey robes, and the Earth God dressed in yellow.
It must be said that each of the Seven Elemental Gods was dressed in distinctly colored clothing.
"Fourteen out of eighteen Level One Gods in the Divine Realm are already here; will the others come too?"
At this moment, a deity asked curiously.
He had forgotten why the Divine King had summoned them and was eager to witness more Level One Gods...
"Ah, two more powerful auras are approaching!"
Just then, someone let out a cry of surprise as all eyes converged on a spot in the sky, where a black and a white light were rapidly approaching.
One moment they were on the horizon, the next they were before them, as if teleporting.
Gradually, the figures within the two rays of light became increasingly distinct.
Enveloped in white light was a woman in white, so pure and innocent that one could not harbor any sinful thoughts.
Her white gown was spotless, and two strands of black hair lay over her front.
Her black, sparkling eyes were filled with a tender charm, and her ethereal quality was like an unblemished white lotus.
Within the black light was a young man in black.
He was extremely handsome, but his eyes were somewhat peculiar, revealing an unusual splendor with every blink.
Seeing the two, the grounds before the Destruction God Temple suddenly became quiet.
Then, there erupted a roar like a tidal wave.
Thousands of divine beings shouted in unison, "We welcome the two Esteemed God Kings!"
Having said that, they all bowed their heads in neat unison, even the Seven Sins Gods and the Seven Elemental Gods showed great respect.
Without a doubt, these two were the final God Kings of the Divine Realm.
The Kindness God and the Evil God, also known as the Benevolent God King and Evil God King.
In the face of the deities' respect, the Evil God King remained unaffected.
The Kindness God, however, bore a gentle smile on his face, and his soft voice spread throughout the gathering, "No need for such formality."
Rumble, rumble.
As the Kindness and Evil God Kings landed, the gates of the Destruction God Temple opened.
The voice of the Destruction God resounded from inside the temple, "The Kindness God, the Evil God, and all main gods, please enter the temple to discuss matters."
...
Wishing everyone a happy May Day.
