Full of Dog Food

The Sea God arrived here with a face full of happiness.

Upon entering, he seemed startled by the large number of deities in the hall, pausing briefly as if completely unaware of the situation.

What are you doing here? Is there anything you need me for? Is there anything I can help you with?

Judging from his reaction, it seems that Sea God was truly unaware of the vote taking place here.

A god immediately asked:

"Sea God, haven't you received the message?"

Sea God shook his head, but his eyes seemed to dart away for a moment, and his tone softened slightly:

"I've been spending a lot of time with Xiu lately, and he won't let me see messages from other gods. I'll have to talk to him about this later. After all, it's my freedom, and he can't interfere like this."

After hearing these words, the Gods felt their stomachs were full.

Ah, I'm full from eating dog food.

As for the way the Asura God acted, they were not surprised.

After all, in the eyes of the Gods, that God of Calamity was such a domineering and unreasonable being.

But when they heard the Sea God say that he wanted to "have a good talk" with the other party, their gazes towards the Sea God involuntarily became more awe-inspiring.

The opponent... is really fierce.

That's the Asura God.

The Asura God Godslayer couldn't defeat.

This gentle Sea God actually dared to turn around and reason with the other party.

No, this is the power of love.

In any case, they dared not reason with the other party at all; after all, if you try to reason with them, they will just talk to you about physics.

"So, what exactly happened? Is there any god who can tell me?"

Sea God looked around, his tone filled with confusion.

The God of the Scales stepped forward. He walked before the Sea God, his expression solemn:

"Sea God, since you are unclear about the situation, let me explain it to you. I will explain it to you carefully and slowly. I'm sure you will be able to grasp the situation in a very short time."

These words are probably only understood by a few gods who truly know the truth.

To the other gods, the God of the Scales was extremely enthusiastic.

They just couldn't understand why this God of the Scales, who had always been at odds with the Sea God, was so concerned about this matter.

Perhaps there was some unavoidable hardship between them back then.

Or perhaps, this is true friendship: even if you break off relations publicly, you still keep in touch privately.

The Sea God looked at him with a smile and said gently:

"Scales, of course. Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

The God of the Scales indeed recounted the whole story in detail, observing the other party's expression as he spoke. Only the Sea God among those present could truly understand the meaning behind that look.

After he finished speaking, he held the Scales, circled the Sea God once, and asked:

"Well, Hai, did you understand? If not, I'll explain it to you again, okay?"

"After all, we're friends."

He didn't know whether the statement was sarcastic or something else.

Sea God smiled and shook his head:

"No need, I heard you clearly. Thank you, Scales."

Having said that, he turned to the Gods in the hall and gave a slight bow.

"Thank you all for trusting me so much. However, I refuse this offer."

He continued speaking before anyone else could speak:

"As you all know, my Divine Power is not among the top in the Divine Realm; at best, it's only average. All of you here possess Divine Power far surpassing mine. How could I possibly have the audacity to lead you?"

"I'm afraid I'm not up to the task. Please choose someone else."

"And I think the Godslayer is the best choice."

As the Sea God spoke, his gaze fell upon the Godslayer, who had remained silent throughout.

When the Godslayer met his gaze, Killing Intent flashed in his eyes for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it.

He had been distracted the whole time, and hadn't really been paying attention to what was being argued about in the hall.

He had previously moved into the Asura God's Temple, living next to the Asura God every day, and was quite happy about it.

But not long after, he heard the devastating news. Even now, he is still somewhat dazed and unable to muster any energy.

Even the battles that I usually love most have become utterly boring.

In fact, he could understand why the Asura God liked the Sea God.

After all, the Sea God is gentle, generous, understanding, and always willing to help others.

Who wouldn't like such a god?

He understands the principles.

But some things are just so unreasonable.

Only after hearing the Sea God's words and meeting that gentle gaze did the God of Godslayer finally snap out of his thoughts.

The Godslayer shook his head and refused.

No, I'm not suitable.

"In every respect, Sea God, you have always done better than me, better than all of us gods."

"If we gods truly need a leader, then I believe the best choice is you."

"As a leader, Divine Power is always secondary. One's character, credibility, influence..."

These are the things that should be considered most.

In conclusion, I believe you are the most suitable one.

As the eldest among these gods, the Godslayer's words were tantamount to sealing the deal.

The other gods couldn't find any reason to object at the moment.

They thought the matter was settled, but to their surprise, the Sea God still refused.

No, I don't think I can do it.

"The things I do are simply because I want to do something for everyone, to make us more united, that's why I do them..."

I'm not as amazing as you say.

After these words were spoken, the expressions of the gods in the hall who were initially somewhat displeased, such as the God of Combat, subtly changed.

Their gaze toward the Sea God gradually shifted from initial skepticism to a degree of certainty.

They used to think that the Sea God helped people everywhere in order to win people's hearts and gain fame.

But now it seems that what the other side did was simply to hope that they, the Gods, could unite as one.

The God of Combat lowered his head, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

Thus, the Sea God repeatedly declined.

The more he refused, the more determined the other gods became to persuade him to accept. One after another, their voices rose and fell, as if the Sea God would be betraying the sincerity of the Gods if he did not agree.

Later, the Sea God seemed too embarrassed to push it any further.

He lowered his eyes, remained silent for a long while, as if finally persuaded by this earnestness. He sighed softly, raised his head, and his expression carried a hint of helplessness, yet also a touch of solemnity.

"Alright then. I agree."

Upon hearing this, Gods seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

You Shen clapped his hands and chuckled, then exchanged a glance with his companion beside him.

The godless one noticed that the Sea God's fingers, which were hanging in his sleeves, tightened slightly. He raised his head, looked around at the Gods, and a gentle smile curved his lips.

Since you asked me for this, I won't be polite.
