The God of Destruction's Suspicion

The God of Destruction's Suspicion

A faint glow inexplicably lit up on the Star Ring. A streak of golden light circled around it before vanishing.

After staring blankly for a moment, Huo Yuhao hurriedly got to his feet and watched it in confusion.

"What was that?"

He had not injected any energy into the Sun God Pillar just then, so what was that thing circling the Star Ring?

Moreover, the energy intensity of that golden light seemed to far surpass the Life Fire from Chai San and Chai Wu earlier.

Huo Yuhao watched for quite a while but discovered nothing unusual.

"My knowledge is still far too limited. If Old Yi were here, he should be able to tell what it is. I'll ask Old Yi about it someday."

Huo Yuhao muttered helplessly. Without anyone to guide him, he had no way to begin guessing.

Still, no matter what, this inexplicably acquired energy was good news.

Setting his thoughts aside, Huo Yuhao immediately withdrew from his Spiritual Sea.

At the same time, he slowly opened his eyes. The effect duration of the Sunlight Blueberry's Soul Skill had ended.

Clenching his hand, he felt the power contained within it and the comfort of his body. Huo Yuhao's mood could not help but improve.

He wondered whether, over these nine months, he could raise his cultivation talent to innate Rank 3 Soul Power.

"Keep cultivating."

In the universe, a planet covered nearly eighty percent in azure blue floated amid the black void. Its crystalline light was exceptionally striking in the darkness. The endless Starry Sea in the distance glittered brilliantly, and the most conspicuous of them all was a planet resembling a gigantic ball of flame.

It was the sun that had benefited Douluo Star.

A figure stood calmly outside Douluo Star, gazing at the sun. It was the God of Destruction, who had come to investigate the situation.

Seeing how tranquil the sun appeared, the God of Destruction's grave gaze relaxed slightly, yet a trace of confusion surfaced in his heart.

This disturbance from the sun was far too unusual. A celestial body of this level, once it encountered a problem, should display continuous abnormalities. Yet this time, it had appeared in an instant and vanished in an instant. It was too strange.

After a moment of silence, the God of Destruction moved his Divine Sense. In an instant, immense divine power surged from within him. Its color was incomparably deep, like an Abyss, with faint rumbling lightning visible within. If not for the vacuum preventing sound from traveling, thunderous roars would surely have been heard.

"Whoosh."

The God of Destruction lightly raised his right hand. The divine power around him rapidly spread outward, as dazzling as exploding fireworks, eventually leaving behind a massive lightning-net formation near Douluo Star.

Although the formation was not large compared to the planet, its main purpose was merely prevention. If the sun displayed any further abnormalities, it could at least protect Douluo Star for a time, giving the Divine Realm Committee enough time to deal with the matter.

Having finished all this, the God of Destruction turned and looked toward azure Douluo Star. His gaze beneath his cloak flickered several times as his hands immediately formed seals.

Suddenly, a faint light swept across the entirety of Douluo Star. Within the planet, a peculiar ring of light resembling a barrier slowly emerged.

The God of Destruction moved his Divine Sense, and the light within the barrier flared brightly. It was a silver radiance, while the lightning-net formation he had set up earlier likewise released a thread of divine light. The two immediately connected.

Looking at the barrier, the God of Destruction nodded slightly. The next moment, he waved his hand, shattering space inch by inch, then strode into it and disappeared into the boundless universe.

After flashing a few times, the barrier enveloping all of Douluo Star completely concealed itself.

This barrier was none other than the seal the Divine Realm had placed on all planets under its control. So long as the barrier remained, life on Douluo Star could never leave the planet, unless the Divine Realm ceased to exist or agreed to remove the barrier's seal.

The barrier had another function: gathering the Power of Faith generated by the life on Douluo Star, then converting it for use by the Divine Realm.

Inside the Divine Realm Committee.

As spatial ripples appeared, the four God Kings all turned their gazes toward them.

The God of Destruction emerged calmly.

"How was it?" the Goddess of Life asked with some concern in her voice.

Facing his beloved wife, the God of Destruction's tone became much gentler. "The sun has stabilized for now. I set up a lightning-net formation outside Douluo Star. If the sun shows further abnormalities, it can protect Douluo Star for a while—long enough for us to resolve the problem."

Hearing this, the Goddess of Life, the God of Goodness, and the God of Evil all breathed sighs of relief.

A strange glint flashed deep in Tang San's eyes. Just then, the God of Destruction suddenly looked at him.

Tang San reacted quickly, immediately putting on a worried expression. The speed of his transformation was unprecedented.

The God of Destruction said, "Sea God, I personally suggest that we convene a God King Council immediately to discuss the supervision of Douluo Star."

At those words, Tang San's fingers trembled slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. "Very well."

Soon, the Five Great God Kings were seated in their respective places, and the Divine Realm's highest-level meeting began.

The God of Destruction said solemnly, "The situation on Douluo Star is very unclear. My personal view is that the five of us should be busier over the next few days and observe Douluo Star together. That way, should another problem arise on Douluo Star, we can resolve it at the first opportunity."

"Furthermore, it is not just Douluo Star. This disturbance was far too bizarre, and I fear other planets may encounter similar problems. Therefore, we must strengthen supervision not only over Douluo Star, but also over the other planets controlled by our Divine Realm."

"Sea God, what do you think? After all, the highest authority over the Divine Realm Core lies in your hands. Only if you agree to delegate authority can we obtain branch permissions for the Divine Realm Core."

As he spoke, the God of Destruction shifted his gaze toward the silent Tang San. His eyes beneath the cloak became profound.

Noticing everyone looking at him, Tang San clenched the hand beneath the table into a tight fist.

Could he refuse?

The answer was no.

He could not keep hiding things like this, or he would sooner or later arouse the other man's suspicions.

He had already paid more attention to Douluo Continent than usual. If he guarded it too closely now, the God of Destruction would definitely notice something was wrong.

But if this period of time were delayed, he would most likely lose the chance to control the Son of Fortune. Once the Son of Fortune grew smoothly, it would affect all his subsequent plans.

Damn it!

The plan had to change.

After a long while, Tang San slowly loosened the fist resting on his thigh. He nodded, his tone calm. "For the future of the Divine Realm, of course I am willing. Later, I will hand the branch permissions of the Divine Realm Core over to everyone."

Seeing Tang San nod, the God of Destruction nodded slightly. "Excellent. I'll have to trouble everyone during this period."

"It's for the Divine Realm. There's no question of trouble," the God of Evil said with a hearty laugh. He had also ascended from a lower Plane, so naturally he did not wish for problems to arise in the Plane from which he had ascended.

The Goddess of Life and the God of Goodness exchanged smiles, their meaning perfectly clear.

The God of Destruction wore a smile as well. He liked a united Divine Realm; that was precisely what he sought.

Yet when his gaze instinctively fell upon Tang San's somewhat unnatural expression, the God of Destruction's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Sea God... seemed rather strange.

All I want is temporary branch control over the Divine Realm Core. Once the time comes, it will be returned. Are you really this unhappy about it?

I haven't even lost my temper over you destroying the God Positions of two Rank 1 Main Gods.

The First Generation Sea God and the Asura God shamelessly helped you, violating the Divine Realm's rules, and I still did not lose my temper.

Yet you are the one who looks unhappy?

As if sensing something off about the God of Destruction, Tang San abruptly came to his senses and murmured casually, "I hope everything moves in a positive direction. The various Planes are the foundation upon which our Divine Realm stands."

"Yes," the other three God Kings all nodded.

The God of Destruction gave Tang San a thoughtful glance before quickly looking away.

Just a heads-up: there will be ten updates on the day it goes premium.
