A professional shill

God of Wine stayed a while longer, drank half a pot of wine he had brought, and chatted about some irrelevant things before getting up to take his leave.

The Sea God watched him leave, and only when that lively figure completely disappeared outside the palace gates did the smile on his lips gradually fade.

He raised his hand and lightly traced a line in the air with his fingertips.

The light blue Divine Power condensed into a line of small characters, which floated in front of him:

Fate, you owe me one.

Those words lit up for a moment, then vanished into the air like water vapor blown away by the wind.

It seemed as if the other party had been waiting there, because after this line of text disappeared, another line of text appeared in front of Wuma Xiu.

[Do you want me to tell you your ending? This is a one-time offer~]

Wuma Xiu stared at the line of text for two breaths, his eyes remaining unchanged.

He raised his hand, flicked his fingertips, and the words were scattered, leaving not a trace.

[No need. You just need to stay out of the way when I go a little too far.]

He knew his fate was sealed.

It's simply a matter of either succeeding or dying for one's cause.

He won; he now possesses the God Kingdom.

Having lost, he transformed into countless stars, scattering completely.

He can accept either one.

Therefore, no one needs to tell him.

So far, the Divine Realm has weathered a storm.

The wrath of the Gods comes quickly and goes quickly.

Especially when the Evil God gods gradually realized that the Asura God who had instigated this battle didn't care at all what they were doing.

Some time ago, a group of Evil Gods, looking disheveled, would often appear outside the Asura God's Temple, pretending to casually "pass by".

They were all thinking the same thing.

If Asura God were to push open the door and see their miserable state, he might just casually ask them a question.

Unfortunately, that door remained tightly closed.

They didn't dare to actually barge in; they could only circle around the entrance a few times before reluctantly leaving.

As time went on, these Evil Gods lost interest and stopped actively seeking out the Righteous Gods to fight.

The Righteous Gods, at first, seemed to enjoy the fight to the fullest.

But after playing for so long, I'm finding it boring, tedious, and tiring.

But neither of them was willing to be the first to say "stop."

In their view, whoever calls a timeout first is essentially admitting defeat.

And so this battle, which began the day the two factions broke off relations, has continued until now. The real turning point that brought the war to a halt was when they heard about that That Matter.

--The Asura God and the Sea God are together.

When this news came out, anyone who heard it would be stunned for a long time.

These two gods are completely unrelated; one has a fearsome reputation, while the other is gentle and kind. They don't seem like the kind of people who would end up together.

But then I thought, haven't the Asura God and the Spring God always been close?

He was quite polite to the Spring God.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like not so many things are impossible anymore.

The Evil God Faction practically wailing and howling about this every day. They can't do anything to the Sea God, so surely they can bully the Righteous Gods?

Suddenly, they disliked the Righteous Gods even more.

On the side of the Righteous Gods, many gods were also deeply dissatisfied with this.

In their eyes, the Sea God, a gentle and dignified deity who treated everyone with courtesy, had somehow gotten mixed up with the Asura God —it was like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.

And the Asura God is that pile of cow dung.

Both sides expressed strong dissatisfaction with this matter.

So they started fighting again.

However, this fight didn't last long.

Because very quickly, the Asura God and the Sea God released the news to the public.

--They're going to have an engagement party.

For the Evil Gods, this was an extremely important event; the Asura God was getting engaged—something to celebrate!

So they all stopped and prepared to go back and get their gifts.

Before leaving, they didn't forget to throw out a few harsh words at the other side:

"Heh, you just wait. We'll go prepare a gift for Asura God first, then we'll come back and deal with you. But what can you possibly prepare for your Sea God? Probably just a few broken stones, right? Pshaw, poor, trash..."

When these words reached the ears of the Righteous God, he could no longer tolerate them.

They were already furious about the Sea God "marrying" the Asura God, and now, being mocked like this, how could they possibly swallow their anger?

So they all made their own pronouncements, determined to outdo each other in terms of gifts.

In the end, the two sides simply made a bet.

The bet was to see whose gift was more precious and valuable on the day of the engagement banquet between the Asura God and the Sea God.

The Evil God Faction responded to this by saying:

"Hehe, then we'll wait and see."

"Furthermore, if it weren't for Asura God falling in love with the Sea God, you would have been defeated by us long ago."

"Now they'll probably all be kneeling before us, right?"

"However, once our Asura God wins over your Sea God, the Sea God will become our god. At that time, Asura God will surely lead us to utterly defeat you all."

These words from the Evil Gods left the Righteous Gods speechless.

The more they thought about it, the more uneasy they felt, and they began to feel anxious.

What these Evil Gods say is indeed true.

If the Asura God really leads them and defeats their entire side, the Evil Gods who have made enemies with them during this time will probably find all sorts of ways to ridicule them.

This is intolerable to these Righteous Gods.

They began to rack their brains, trying to figure out how to stop it from happening.

Just then, the newly ascended Desert God jumped out and said:

"Gentlemen, I have a solution."

"Wouldn't it be fine if we also had a presiding deity on our side? Ideally, the other side could fight against the Asura God."

That sounds like obvious.

Even God knows this.

The problem is that, not long ago, the Chief Evil Gods — the Asura God —has become the undisputed strongest god in the Divine Realm.

Even the Godslayer was no match for him.

What god on their side could possibly stand against the Asura God?

The Desert God seemed stumped by the question, standing there muttering to himself:

"Yes, that's a difficult problem. The Evil Gods say that the Asura God didn't show up this time because of the Sea God. And on our side, even the Godslayer is no match for us. So what other god can stop them from leading the Evil Gods to trample us underfoot?"

The speaker may have been unintentional, but the listener took it to heart.

The reason why the Asura God did not appear this time was because of the Sea God.

The only one who could stop him was his lover, Sea God.

But the Sea God is a god on their side of the Righteous Gods.

For a moment, the Righteous Gods were finally at ease.

But then, the Desert God raised a new question:

"But didn't they say that if the Sea God and the Asura God were together, the Sea God would become the god of their side?"

Will he still care about us?

Once the question was raised, the Gods fell silent again.

The Righteous Gods looked at each other, none of them able to give a reason.

After all, they were far less intimate with the Sea God than with the Asura God. If they had to choose between the two, the Asura God might choose his lover. So they began to ponder again whether there was any way to bind the Sea God to their side.
