Divine Realm!
Tang San, sensing that both the Kindness God and the Evil God were watching him, had a somewhat uncertain expression on his face....
When he saw the Ghost Emperor using the corpses on the battlefield to break through to God Rank, he had wanted to intervene from the Upper Realm and slay him multiple times....
But he was stopped every time....
Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, the Evil God said without changing his expression, "Sea God, we know you want to eliminate that hidden danger for the Lower Realm, but doing so would undoubtedly violate the rules of the Divine Realm!"
The Kindness God also nodded slightly, "That's correct. As long as no one from the Upper Realm intervenes in the Lower Realm and causes a significant impact, even as a Divine King, one must abide by the rules!"
Glancing at them, Tang San explained, "Kindness God, Evil God, I understand what you mean. However, this Ghost Emperor who has just broken through to God Rank is a vicious evil Soul Master. It's very likely he could affect the Divine Realm just like the Abyssal Emperor did!"
"Eliminating him now is also for the sake of the Divine Realm. You wouldn't want any more variables to emerge in the future, would you?"
If the Kindness God and the Evil God also intervened without authorization, then he would be able to use this as leverage to make them compromise....
Unfortunately, ever since they assumed their godhoods, they had never intervened without authorization, and they had always consulted the other Divine Kings if they had!
This was the most difficult part!!
Upon hearing this, the Evil God's expression changed subtly....
Indeed, the variables in the Lower Realm were too great, even the Creator God was pulled into the past by that Abyssal Emperor and has not returned till now!
If another anomaly were to arise, the entire Divine Realm would be thrown into chaos!
However, the Kindness God's beautiful eyes hardened as she reminded him, "Sea God, you should be aware that this Ghost Emperor from the Lower Realm has just broken through to God Rank. With his power, he poses no threat to the Divine Realm!"
"Or are you saying you lack confidence in yourself as a Divine King?"
This Ghost Emperor had only just broken through to God Rank, which was entirely different from the breakthrough of the Abyssal Emperor to the Divine King. They simply cannot be compared!
Upon hearing this, Tang San fell silent immediately....
He didn't know how to respond to that statement!
After all, what he was worried about was not whether the Ghost Emperor would affect the Upper Realm, but Tang Wulin's path to godhood!
Seeing the former remain silent, the Kindness God spoke again, "I think we should not intervene in the Lower Realm for the time being, until the Creator God returns!"
"Of course, if this Ghost Emperor harbors other thoughts towards the Divine Realm, then eliminating him then wouldn't be excessive!"
The Evil God also expressed agreement, "Mhm, this proposal is good. If he truly threatens the Divine Realm, we will also help you slay him!"
Tang San could only force a smile, "Then, I thank the Kindness God and the Evil God greatly!"
It seemed that helping Wulin to slay the Ghost Emperor from the Lower Realm was impossible now!
With this thought, he gave a simple gesture and turned to leave....
As they watched him go, the Kindness God glanced at the Evil God and said in a deep voice, "Ji Dong, what do you think?"
The latter spoke as if seeing through everything, "It's very simple. The Sea God obviously wants to remove the obstacles for his own child, to ensure a smooth journey to godhood!!"
The Kindness God also sighed, "Yes, that's what I think as well. The Sea God's partiality is a bit too great!"
"Whether a person can become a God should depend on oneself, not on external forces. Otherwise, wouldn't the Divine Realm be someone's personal garden?"
They too, after all, had undergone innumerable hardships to become Gods!!
The Evil God closed his eyes, "After numerous obstructions, the Sea God must also be aware of our stance on this matter! As long as he does not intervene in the Lower Realm, let's pretend we know nothing."
Moreover, due to the absence of the Creator God, the current Divine Realm has begun to feel restless, and some First-Level Gods are subtly aspiring to replace the Divine King…
To maintain the stability of the Divine Realm, the power of the Sea God, one of the Divine Kings, is indispensable.
...
The next day!!
Shrek Academy sent messengers to convey the news of the Ghost Emperor's breakthrough to godhood to every power on the Soul Land Continent…
The result was quite evident; the atmosphere among the various powers became extremely tense, while the federation, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief…
Inside the Council Hall, the leading Chairman took a deep breath and said, "According to the news from Shrek Academy, the Ghost Emperor has broken through to God Rank during battle. Although he has been repelled, it is very likely that he will return soon!"
The other Council Members also showed grave expressions, but it seemed as if they thought of something and relaxed slightly…
They stated one after another, "Although the God-Ranked Ghost Emperor is a great calamity to the Soul Land Continent, fortunately, he has also indirectly given our federation a chance to catch our breath!"
"That's right, the Spirit Pagoda will definitely be concerned about the Ghost Emperor's existence. So, before they resolve this issue with him, they certainly won't cause us any trouble!"
"Hmph, it seems that Gu Yuena also knows that without our federation, if the Ghost Emperor leads a large number of evil Soul Masters to attack again, the Spirit Pagoda might not be able to withstand!"
"All in all, for our federation, it should be a blessing in disguise!!"
"Tch, what are you talking about? Are we supposed to thank the Ghost Emperor? A breather brought by evil Soul Masters is better off declined!"
"Exactly, the Spirit Pagoda is only slightly richer in Soul Masters than our federation. If it really comes to a fight, it's not certain who would come out better!"
Seeing the atmosphere turning sour, the Chairman abruptly interrupted, "Quiet! Everyone quiet!!"
Those dissenting Council Members glared at each other, then finally shut their mouths…
Only then did the former continue, "I know the Councillors have great complaints about the Spirit Pagoda, but I hope you understand that in terms of overall strength, the current Spirit Pagoda is not something the federation, which has lost the God-killing soul-guided missiles, can contend with!"
Had the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles still been in play, the Spirit Pagoda certainly wouldn't have dared to provoke us easily, but not long ago, this biggest trump card became ineffective!
"So, we must not start a war with the Spirit Pagoda until we resolve the Ghost Emperor issue and are fully prepared. This is not just for the sake of the federation, but also for Soul Land!"
The palms of these Council Members quietly clenched, and then they released their grip with force…
They had clearly come to an understanding…
"Chairman, you're right. We must only move against the Spirit Pagoda when we are confident. Otherwise, we will only be helping others at our own expense!"
"Since the Chairman has said so, let's bear with the Spirit Pagoda for the time being. Once we settle the Ghost Emperor, they'll be next!"
"That's right, by then, even if it means the downfall of the federation, we will ensure the Spirit Pagoda's plans fail!!"
On hearing this, the Chairman nodded slightly and said, "It's good that the Council Members think this way. Now, let's continue the previous topic."
The federation is currently at a disadvantage. If unity within is not achieved, the future will truly belong to the Spirit Pagoda!
Therefore, he must not allow such a scenario to happen!
