Legendary Deity? God of Destruction's Recruitment!

Upon hearing the God of Destruction's words,

the God Realm Gods all felt somewhat surprised in unison.

They all turned to look at that pitch-black thing within the image.

Yet after staring at it for ages, none of them could figure out what it actually was.

In the end,

although there were many deities present,

after examining it, they could only look at one another. Not a single person stepped forward to claim it.

"No one is claiming it? Then it seems to be a lost Divine Artifact."

The God of Destruction came to a conclusion.

"A lost Divine Artifact? Can a Divine Artifact even be lost?" Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotion, raised a brow at this.

The God of Destruction replied, "God of Emotion, you haven't been in the God Realm for very long, so there are many matters you do not understand deeply enough."

The God of Destruction explained to the God of Emotion, "Of course Divine Artifacts can be lost. After all, not every deity enters the God Realm after becoming a god."

At this point, the God of Destruction singled out Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, saying:

"For example, these two. One is the Rakshasa God, and the other is the Angel God."

"If they had gone directly to the God Realm right after becoming gods, they naturally would have received the God Realm's protection. So long as they did not violate the God Realm Laws, even the Sea God would not have been able to attack them."

"But neither of them did so. That is precisely why they were killed by the Sea God before they officially became deities of the God Realm. Their Divine Artifacts are now lost on the Douluo Continent, and even our God Realm can no longer proactively select successors for those two godhoods."

As he explained this to Rong Nianbing, the God of Destruction also took the opportunity to sharply admonish Tang San, implying that the God Realm had lost two deities because of him.

At the same time, he was hinting to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue that, if they survived this calamity and escaped this planar rift,

they could head to the God Realm afterward and even join his camp directly.

That way, even Tang San would be unable to do anything to them.

"Thank you for your guidance, God of Destruction!"

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were no fools; indeed, they could be called exceptionally intelligent.

Thus, after receiving the God of Destruction's hint, they immediately understood and promptly thanked him.

Tang San's expression changed as he snapped, "Destruction, you've gone too far!"

The God of Destruction merely said flatly, "Did I break any rules?"

Tang San snorted coldly. "No."

The God of Destruction said, "Then what is the problem? If it doesn't violate the rules, why can't I do it?"

"Or does having two more deities in our God Realm somehow get in your way?"

He mocked Tang San without mercy. In the entire God Realm, only he refused to give Tang San any face at all.

Yet Tang San truly had no way to deal with the God of Destruction.

Though he was furious inside,

he could only swallow this insult.

Still, things had indeed become rather troublesome.

The God of Destruction had always been making trouble for him, and now there were also Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong. Those two were even more formidable.

Tang San felt that even if he could return to the God Realm after this incident, his days ahead would certainly not be easy.

This made him curse furiously in his heart.

Damn Destruction, you have earned yourself a death sentence!

The God of Kindness had been staring at the Divine Artifact all along. He said, "But if that is the case, we have no idea what rank of deity its owner was."

"Since the God Realm was founded, quite a few first- to third-rank deities have lost their Divine Artifacts. Among them, there was even a legendary deity whose Divine Artifact was also lost."

The God of Destruction raised his brow slightly. His tone was much gentler when speaking to the God of Kindness. "Kindness, are you referring to the one who came to the God Realm second, after the Dragon God?"

The God of Kindness nodded. "That's right! His strength was unfathomable, and his Divine Artifact was also lost. Unfortunately, the history is simply too ancient. We deities who ascended later only know that such a deity existed, but we have no idea what his specific abilities were."

The God of Destruction added, "But no matter what, he was very powerful, wasn't he? According to legend, if he had still been around back then, he might have been able to suppress the Dragon God during the great war of the God Realm."

Tang San's gaze grew increasingly grave upon hearing this.

Naturally, a later arrival like him knew little about these ancient matters, since even the God of Destruction and the others only had a partial understanding.

Still, from their scattered remarks, Tang San had gathered that many even more powerful Divine Artifacts had been lost throughout the God Realm's history.

He could not help muttering to himself, That kid can't be this lucky, can he?

If that's the case...

Wouldn't my otherworld self be finished?

No, no, it shouldn't come to that.

He let out a breath and kept comforting himself.

Meanwhile,

Huo Yuhao had not only finished watching what was shown on the screen, but had also read through the conversation between the deities.

Having now received advanced education at Shrek Academy, he also understood what deities and Divine Artifacts were.

According to legend, Lord Tang San had acquired the Sea God Trident back then and slaughtered enemies in every direction during the Jialing Pass Battle. Only afterward did he become a deity.

Therefore, obtaining a Divine Artifact had to be a necessary condition for becoming a god.

But if that was the case,

didn't that mean his Parallel World Self already possessed the possibility of becoming a god?

Huo Yuhao felt immensely envious, and he regretted his own past incompetence more than ever.

He let out a breath and said:

"Perhaps this is the reward given to the brave."

"Back then, I was timid and cowardly, always fleeing from things, so I gained nothing."

"But my Parallel World Self was decisive and dared to change his fate, so heaven granted him a reward as well."

"I can only say that I was given an opportunity, but I failed to seize it."

Huo Yuhao was filled with regret.

He continued looking toward the screen.

At this moment,

within the screen,

after repeatedly trying without success, Huo Yuhao could no longer be bothered with that pitch-black thing.

He packed up all the pills and Soul Tools, then rested at home for the night.

Early the next morning, he bid farewell to his mother and headed straight for the largest nearby city.

After traveling for some time, he finally arrived inside the city.

Then, Huo Yuhao found a pharmacy, took out a small portion of the pills, and had the shopkeeper begin appraising them.
