Asura Wants to Run

After passing through the atmosphere, Neuvillette felt a bit uncomfortable, perhaps because he was getting closer to the sun.

When gazing up at the night sky on Douluo Continent, it appeared like a canvas filled with stars, much like a river of light.

But upon leaving the Douluo Star and looking at the starry sky again, all that could be seen was a vast, dark void—completely devoid of any light.

Looking back, the entire planet came into view. If someone had a fear of massive objects, this sight could scare them to death on the spot.

Douluo existed on a planetary plane, which, in the hierarchy of planes, was considered middle-tier.

In the multiverse, some planes don't have a star core, meaning they don't have a physical form. For example, the Abyssal Plane.

The Abyssal Plane is a gaseous plane, and although it has powerful beings like the Abyssal Sage Kings, its level as a plane is very low.

Beyond that, there are even higher planes.

These have a physical form but exist within dimensional spaces.

For example, the Divine Realm, which is closely connected to Douluo Continent, is adjacent to it.

However, even if one flies off Douluo Star, the Divine Realm would not be visible under normal circumstances, because it doesn't exist in the same dimension—it resides in another dimension altogether.

Finding the dimensional gateway, known as ascension or reception, allows one to enter the Douluo Divine Realm.

This is similar to how the Abyss invades. The Abyss doesn't have a physical form, yet it drifts through the cosmic void.

Normally, the Abyssal Plane is invisible.

Neuvillette sensed the entrance to the Divine Realm with little effort—this was not a difficult task for him.

Moreover, traces left by Poseidon during his previous cross-dimensional visit made it easier to locate the Divine Realm.

At this moment, in the Divine Realm.

The gods were tense, as Neuvillette was staring at one of the entrances to the Divine Realm.

The Divine Realm doesn't have just one entrance—other lower planes also have passages leading to it.

Without these passages, it would be extremely difficult for the Divine Realm to access Douluo Continent or descend to other lower planes.

Although the Divine Realm and Douluo Star seem close, no one can say exactly how far apart they are.

This is also why, when the Divine Realm was swept away by chaotic space-time currents, Douluo Star remained unaffected.

"What is he doing? What is he doing?" the Evil God King exclaimed in anger.

If, by any chance, Neuvillette destroyed the passage between the Divine Realm and Douluo Continent, they would lose control over Douluo Continent!

These passages are the very means by which the Divine Realm exerts control over the lower planes!

If the passage were destroyed, they would either have to open a new one or take a detour, finding the closest plane to Douluo Star and then making their way to it.

Those are the only two options.

Poseidon was able to descend so quickly because of the existence of these passages.

Otherwise, by the time they arrived, the Spirit Hall would already be in ruins.

"Should we intervene?"

The passage to the lower planes could not be lost!

This time, it seems Poseidon was careless!

This is also one of the reasons why the gods decreed that Divine Realm deities should not interfere with the lower planes.

Who knows if it would expose the "coordinates" of the Divine Realm? If it attracted powerful plunderers, the Divine Realm, though mighty, could no longer withstand a major war.

"Wait, he's leaving!"

Neuvillette only glanced at the entrance to the Divine Realm before flying off into the cosmos.

This left the gods puzzled—why did Neuvillette suddenly fly away?

Could it be that he dislikes war?

"Everyone, this so-called God of Judgment and Water Goddess are, in the end are hidden dangers. I propose initiating a vote to decide whether to eliminate these two," said the God of Destruction, his expression serious.

Just now might have been a "misunderstanding," but who can guarantee that the next time it would be the same?

No god could make such a guarantee!

Moreover, they had already entertained this idea before—after all, Neuvillette and Focalors were not gods under the Divine Realm's jurisdiction.

Two "wild" God Kings were like swords hanging over their heads.

"I object."

The voice that opposed him caught the God of Destruction off guard.

If it had been the Asura God or the Kind God, he might have anticipated it.

But the god who opposed him wasn't the Asura God or the Kind God!

"Xiaolu, you…"

Xiaolu was the God of Destruction's unique way of addressing the Goddess of Life. He was utterly bewildered, never expecting his own wife to oppose his decision.

"We still don't know if they have a force similar to our Divine Realm backing them."

"Fighting will only lead to unnecessary casualties."

"Isn't the current situation good enough?"

The Goddess of Life spoke softly, turning to look at the God of Destruction with concern in her eyes.

If they were to really fight, and something were to happen to the God of Destruction, some unexpected accident…

"Sentimentality, pure sentimentality!" the God of Destruction muttered to himself, but he didn't dare to say it aloud.

The Goddess of Life was his wife, and after so many years together, he didn't even need to think to know what she was thinking.

In the end, he remained silent.

The Goddess of Life's words were not without reason.

Neuvillette and Focalors had appeared out of nowhere—who knew if they had a force similar to the Divine Realm behind them?

If they did, a war would result in heavy losses, even if the Divine Realm won. It would be a pyrrhic victory, hardly worth it.

But leaving Neuvillette and Focalors alone didn't sit well with him either!

"I agree with Life's viewpoint," the Kind Goddess King spoke up.

She had originally planned to "travel" with the Evil God King, leaving her divine position behind.

Never did she expect such turbulent times to arrive so quickly.

It seemed that their departure would have to wait.

At this point, all the gods turned their eyes toward the Asura God.

If it came to a vote, Evil and Kind had two votes each.

Life, Destruction, and Asura had one vote each.

Of course, to limit the two God Kings' power, if all three enforcers voted against something, while the two God Kings voted in favor, the enforcers' decision would prevail.

This rule was something the two God Kings had proposed themselves.

Given the current situation, it was clear that Evil and Destruction were in the same camp, favoring the use of force.

Kind and Life were in another camp, opposing the idea.

Thus, Asura's vote was crucial.

Feeling the eyes of all the gods on him, Asura shook his head and said, "I support Life's viewpoint."

Evil and Destruction: "???"

What the…bro, what's going on?

Aren't you in favor of war?

Why are you siding with those two…no, why are you siding with those two goddesses?

You're the Asura God!

Evil and Destruction were dumbfounded, their eyes filled with confusion.

Kind and Life instinctively glanced at Asura, also showing some surprise in their eyes.

Asura's stance left the gods in silence.

This wasn't like the Asura God, who was known only for killing, killing, and more killing.

Maybe Kind's position should be given to Asura instead?

Asura felt bitter inside but didn't want to admit it.

"Tang San, oh Tang San, this mess is all yours to deal with."

"Running away—I have to run away!"

"If I don't leave now, I might not get another chance…"

Who knows if the Dragon God's plan could even be realized now?
