Grand Ambitions

Actually, even the God of Calamity didn't know why the Asura God wanted that... skirt. He looked down at the thing he was holding in his arms, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

Why would a god as ruthless and murderous as the Asura God specifically request something like this?

Could it be that adults have such private quirks...?

Unique?

A certain image uncontrollably surfaced in the God of Calamity's mind:

The white-haired, red-eyed Asura God stood with her back to him, donned the elaborate and magnificent robe, and then asked with a cold expression, "How is it?"

The God of Calamity felt a heat in his nasal cavity, and his whole body trembled.

That's so exciting! It's incredibly exciting!

The God of Calamity quickly covered his nose, shook his head vigorously, and suppressed those deadly thoughts.

However... it doesn't seem like it's impossible.

Thinking this, he hugged the clothes in his arms even tighter, a dreamy yet lewd grin spreading across his face.

When he returns to report, the Asura God might even praise him. At that point, could he make a small request? Like, perhaps ask the Asura God to show him the new one on the spot...?

Hehehe.

The God of Calamity's smile grew even more lewd.

Mu Qian's fingers, hanging by his sides, tightened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Asura God?

If it were an ordinary god, they might actually be terrified by this title.

But Mu Qian now has powerful backers.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see which carries more weight: a fool under the command of the Asura God or a friend of the Asura God.

There has always been friction between the Righteous Gods and the Evil Gods, but the Gods have been somewhat restrained because of the agreement they made back then. However, today's incident has broken the precedent.

Is the Sea God trying to throw the Divine Realm into chaos?

But what good would it do him if the Divine Realm were in chaos?

Is it to muddy the waters for personal gain? Or is it to use the chaos to cover up some bigger scheme?

Mu Qian pondered the matter more and more, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

He kept an eye on the other person out of the corner of his eye, but found that the other person had not changed at all, and clicked his tongue inwardly.

Why aren't you running yet?

You've left yourself with such a huge flaw. It really makes you look like a fool!

Or perhaps the other party hadn't had enough of the chase?

While Mu Qian was lost in thought, the God of Calamity opposite him couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that the new Desert God had suddenly stopped moving, he thought he had stumbled upon a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he hugged what he was holding and turned to run away.

Even after running quite a distance, she didn't forget to turn back and throw him a sarcastic remark:

"Ha, you idiot! You're just spacing out!"

Seeing this, Mu Qian clenched his fist in slight annoyance, then pretended to shout in the direction the God of Calamity had fled:

"Why are you running?! You're the idiot! If you're so tough, then don't run!"

He breathed a sigh of relief only after the other person disappeared.

Well, this matter isn't exactly troublesome; it doesn't require much acting skill, but it does take a bit of his time.

Mu Qian raised his hand and pressed his brow. The fusion of the Divine Core was still a bit rough, like sand stuck in his meridians.

Wuma Xiu suddenly appeared beside Mu Qian, arriving silently. He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant horizon where the God of Calamity had long since vanished, and said calmly:

"Not bad."

Mu Qian's heart tightened slightly. He knew he was used to all kinds of storms, but every time he faced the Sea God, his whole body would unconsciously tense up.

He found it very difficult to fathom the other person's thoughts.

This is one of the reasons he was nervous.

In the past, those terms, whether referring to Demigods or gods, were far too easy to understand.

Unlike this.

"What, are you afraid of me?"

Wuma Xiu clearly saw Mu Qian's momentary nervousness.

He walked around the other person once, chuckling softly.

"Yes," Mu Qian didn't deny it, but instead said frankly, "After all, I'm not alone anymore."

He used to have no ties, and even if he died, it would just be another life.

But things are different now.

Wuma Xiu glanced at the other party and said:

"Sometimes, a weakness is fatal. But sometimes, a weakness can become the driving force that propels you forward. As for your family, if you really can't let go of them, then turn them into Demigods as well. Perhaps in the future, they can even become your help."

Family members are naturally more reliable than others.

They all understood this.

Wuma Xiu has a say in this matter, after all, he has a bunch of Old Self.

Mu Qian's heart stirred slightly. He had been harboring such a thought for a while, but he just couldn't bring himself to make up his mind.

Now that the other party has pointed it out, it's as if a bright stone has been thrown into his already troubled mind.

It instantly made what was originally a vague idea clear.

But we need to ask our family's opinion first.

He would never force them if they were unwilling.

Mu Qian was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I understand. Also, I..."

He swallowed his words halfway through.

Never mind.

Some things are better left unsaid; the more you know, the faster you'll die.

"You want to ask me what exactly I'm going to do, right? Come with me, and you'll understand."

Wuma Xiu led Mu Qian across a vast Sea of Stars, landing in the airspace above a strange planet.

This planet is different from other planets.

It was ruled by a vast empire, with power concentrated in the hands of one person, without division or dissent.

In today's world, there are very few planets with such a concentration of power.

"I hate the current state of the Divine Realm." Wuma Xiu looked down at the land spread out like a chessboard, "It's like a plate of loose sand, with numerous factions and Gods acting arbitrarily. Therefore, I want to establish a God Kingdom on this ruin."

"If things go well, you can return to your former position. Of course, it's a position you deserve."

"You still have time to regret it."

Mu Qian's heart, which had been frozen for countless years, was suddenly cracked open by something scalding hot, and something burst forth from the ice, surging forth.

"I do."

As a person, Mu Qian dislikes being mediocre and unproductive.

He didn't want to be a god.

Moreover, he had long been accustomed to those high and mighty gods who did whatever they pleased, treating all things as playthings in their hands.

If this Divine Realm is rotten to the core, then it should be torn down and rebuilt.

If he could follow the Sea God and personally build a true God Kingdom, his life would be truly brilliant and glorious.

Mu Qian knelt on one knee, head held high, fire burning in his eyes:

"From this day forward, I pledge my eternal loyalty to you."

Wuma Xiu looked down at him, and after a long while, he finally revealed a very faint smile.

He reached out his hand.

Mu Qian placed his hand on the other person's wrist, using their slight strength to get up. During this process, he suddenly noticed the Red Thread on the other person's wrist.

In the Divine Realm, the Red Thread of Love God is quite famous.

However, the Sea God should not fall in love with the god before him.

Mu Qian found it hard to imagine what it would be like for the other person to fall in love with a god.

Therefore, this Red Thread should be a regular Red Thread.

He thought about it, then suppressed the thought and asked:

"So how do you plan to establish this God Kingdom?"

"I have served as an advisor to monarchs. I can offer you advice on checks and balances, centralization of power, winning over the hearts of the people, and division of responsibilities. If you require it, I can compile all of these into strategies for your use."

Mu Qian began to demonstrate his abilities and value.

Wuma Xiu repeated what he had just said, "I said I would build a God Kingdom amidst ruins."

The old world will not fall.

How could a new God Kingdom be born from ashes?
