God Realm Committee! Sea God's Heir!
"Hehehe, congratulations to the Holy King for taking another step forward and achieving the divine position of the White Tiger God!"
A clear, cold voice rang out in mid-air, followed by a swirling flame that transformed into a woman.
The woman was dressed in a fiery red dress; she had a beautiful face, a graceful figure, and a noble air.
She is none other than the Phoenix God, Second-Level God deity in the Divine Realm!
However, her true form is not the mythical phoenix, known as the king of birds, but a human!
Since the Dragon God War hundreds of thousands of years ago, the divine beasts were defeated and perished one after another. The path for beasts to become gods was also closed by human deities, leaving the divine beasts of the Divine Realm empty.
The divine positions vacated by these mythical beasts were either abandoned or occupied by human deities.
For example, after the Phoenix God King fell, the position of the Phoenix God was occupied by the human goddess in front of us.
This beautiful goddess has only been in the Divine Realm for tens of thousands of years, making her a newly ascended deity. In terms of divine power, she is naturally not as powerful as those established deities.
As a result, the Phoenix God, who was originally at the God-King level, has had his strength reduced to the level of Second-Level God.
The purpose of this newly ascended Phoenix God's descent into the Douluo Plane is to open the ascension passage and assist the million-year-old Soul Beast, the Evil Eye Saint King, in becoming a god, on the orders of the God Realm Committee!
Yes, the Divine Realm avoids the convention that beasts cannot become gods, and human gods are not allowed to help beasts become gods, but the Evil Eye Saint King is allowed to become a god as an exception!
Moreover, the divine position bestowed upon the Evil Eye Saint King by the Divine Realm was the extremely powerful position of the White Tiger God!
It should be noted that the White Tiger God's position in ancient times was a god-king level position, just like the Phoenix God. Even now, it is a genuine First-Level God.
As for the First-Level God, there are only twenty in the entire Divine Realm at present!
This shows how much the Divine Realm has invested in the Evil Eye Saint King!
Upon hearing the Phoenix God's flattery, the Evil Eye Saint King, transformed into a burly man, sneered and said resentfully, "Three hundred thousand years! Ever since the Dragon God War, I have waited to become a god for a full three hundred thousand years. Do you know how I have spent these three hundred thousand years?"
"This..."
Hearing the Evil Eye Saint King's complaints, the Phoenix God smiled awkwardly and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Saint King should think more positively. After the Dragon God War, it has become an ironclad rule that Soul Beast cannot become gods. Countless powerful beasts have been forced to die unjustly under the heavenly tribulation. Yet you, Saint King, have become First-Level God, the White Tiger God. Isn't this a blessing from the Divine Realm?"
"A gift?"
The Evil Eye Saint King glanced sideways at the Phoenix God, his bewitching double pupils radiating a chilling killing intent, and said, "If it weren't for dealing with that brat from the Xuanyuan Family, would your Divine Realm have allowed me to become a god?"
After being bombarded with such a barrage of insults, the Phoenix God was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. If she weren't outmatched by this Evil Eye White Tiger, she, with her fiery temper, would have definitely taken action.
Suppressing the urge to act, the Phoenix God forced a smile and slowly said, "Holy King, you can't say that. Regardless, the Divine Realm has bestowed upon you a divine position. Your service to the Divine Realm in eliminating that heir of the Xuanyuan Family is entirely justified and conforms to the principle of equivalent exchange, isn't it?"
"Heh, you're quite direct."
The Evil Eye Saint King chuckled, then his expression hardened, and he sighed, "I never imagined that after lying low for three hundred thousand years, I would end up as a lackey and henchman of the humans in the Divine Realm. How lamentable!"
Phoenix God: "..."
How was she supposed to respond to that?
This Evil Eye Saint King is a total conversation killer.
"Very well, others who want to be henchmen of the Divine Realm don't even have the chance yet! What more could I possibly want?"
The Evil Eye Saint King chuckled self-deprecatingly, then turned to the Phoenix God and said calmly, "Go back and tell those people on the God Realm Committee that I will complete the task they assigned!"
Upon hearing this, the Phoenix God immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This guy had finally relented, so her mission to descend to the mortal realm was now complete.
"Then I'll have to trouble the Holy King."
Before the words were even finished, the Phoenix God burst into a burst of brilliant flames, and then, engulfed in the flames, his form vanished...
Half a day later.
The Divine Realm.
As a place of faith for billions of living beings, the Divine Realm is perpetually shrouded in a light, pure white mist, making it resemble a fairyland.
The dense primordial energy of heaven and earth lingered in the clouds and mist; even a single breath could extend the lifespan of any human being by ten years.
Because this primordial energy of heaven and earth is actually the power of faith contributed by countless trillions of mortals from hundreds of mortal planes, which is also divine power.
The power of faith is the reason why gods can live forever.
In a corner of the Divine Realm, a bright flash of fire appeared, and the figure of the Phoenix God silently emerged.
As soon as she appeared, she was spotted by several Celestial God Hunters.
The Celestial God Hunters of the Divine Realm are mostly composed of powerful individuals who failed to inherit divine positions but yearn to ascend to the Divine Realm.
These powerful individuals are at least level 100 or above according to the Douluo Plane standard. Some of the powerful Celestial God Hunters are even comparable to some Third-Class Deity who are not very good at fighting.
"So it's His Majesty the Phoenix God! His Majesty just descended to the mortal realm and returned in less than a quarter of an hour. It seems the mission assigned by the God Realm Committee went very smoothly!"
A tall, muscular Celestial God Hunters, clad in silver armor, laughed as he spoke.
One day in the Divine Realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal realm.
Whether it was Qian Renxue becoming the Angel God, Bi Bi Dong becoming the Rakshasa God, or the Evil Eye Saint King becoming the White Tiger God, several days had passed in the mortal realm, but less than a quarter of an hour had passed in the Divine Realm.
It is precisely because of this that the Divine Realm often cannot respond to changes in the mortal world in a timely manner, and its strategies are relatively lagging behind.
"It went fairly smoothly."
The Phoenix God smiled. Although her status was much higher than these Celestial God Hunters, they all lived in the same Divine Realm and would see each other all the time. It was still good to be on good terms with the gods.
She exchanged pleasantries with the Celestial God Hunters for a while, then transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the God Realm Committee.
The God Realm Committee possesses the authority to govern the Divine Realm, judge the gods, and uphold the rules; it is the ruler of the Divine Realm.
The headquarters of the God Realm Committee is a magnificent palace that shimmers with golden light. It is located at the highest point in the entire Divine Realm, and every deity can see it simply by looking up.
The palace is polygonal in shape, decorated in a simple yet magnificent style. On each wall of the palace hall, there are light screens, and the scenes on these light screens are ever-changing, seemingly under real-time monitoring.
Each light screen represents a scene from a mortal plane or a mortal planet.
The God Realm Committee is actually a monitoring room that oversees various planes and planets in the mortal realm.
Deep within the palace hall stood a round table. The table appeared to be made of miniature clouds and stars, resembling a galaxy.
At this moment, five deities were seated around the round table.
They are the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm.
There were originally only two god-kings in the Divine Realm: the Godess of Kindness and the God of Evil.
Later, as the Divine Realm expanded, three ancient deities, including the Asura God, joined the God Realm Committee. Thus, the Divine Realm came to have Five Great God Kings, also known as the five supreme beings of the Divine Realm.
Seated in the main seat were two figures, one dressed in white and the other in black robes.
The two figures were shrouded in clouds formed from divine power, making them appear blurry yet sacred and noble.
These two are the Godess of Kindness and the God of Evil.
To the right of these two god-kings was a figure dressed in dark red divine armor, covered by a dark red robe.
It was the Asura God.
The area three feet around the Asura God's body was filled with a dark red light, which was killing intent, so dense that it had become a tangible killing intent!
Sitting opposite the Asura God King were two deities, one male and one female.
The male deity was draped in a purple cloak, his head hidden inside. Only two red lights could be vaguely seen flickering within the cloak, but his face remained obscured.
A terrifying aura emanated from this male deity.
The female deity next to this male deity was the complete opposite; she was brimming with life.
She wore a light green dress, and a faint smile always graced her beautiful face. Her body was covered with a light golden hue, and her vibrant aura made people feel instantly fond of her.
These two deities, one male and one female, are the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, two of the Five Great God Kings.
They were also a rare couple of deities in the Divine Realm.
At this moment, the five god-kings remained silent, as if they were quietly waiting for something.
Soon, the Phoenix God they had been waiting for arrived before them.
"Greetings, Your Majesties, Divine Kings."
The Phoenix God nodded slightly. As a deity, she naturally couldn't be as servile as mortals. Nodding in greeting was already her proper courtesy.
"No need for such formalities."
The Asura God waved his hand, his tone icy, and said, "The White Tiger God has returned to his position. Has that Evil Eye Saint King agreed to the conditions of our Divine Realm?"
"I agreed."
The Phoenix God nodded again and smiled.
"Then you may leave."
The Asura God's tone remained cold, not because he had a problem with the Phoenix God, but because the Asura God's personality was inherently cold.
The Phoenix God left the hall as instructed, and the round table meeting of the Five Great God Kings officially began.
"Asura, do you really think that a mere White Tiger God can kill that brat from the Xuanyuan Family?"
A deep voice came from within the purple cloak, and the God of Destruction's throbbing blood-red eyes stared directly at the Asura God.
Upon hearing this, the Asura God shook his head and said, "No, although that kid is only a Soul Saint and is still a long way from becoming a god, his power is stronger than that of a god! The newly promoted Angel God was defeated by him in less than an hour."
After a pause, the Asura God continued, "However, there is another Rakshasa God in the Douluo Plane. Although she has only recently ascended to godhood, her strength and combat experience are abundant. If she joins forces with the White Tiger God, their chances of victory are very high!"
"The odds of winning are high, but there's no absolute certainty, right?"
The God of Destruction said in a low voice, "I have a mount that I can send down to the mortal realm to help the White Tiger God and the Rakshasa God."
Before he finished speaking, the God of Destruction waved his hand, and a screen of light appeared on the round table.
On the screen of light, a castle is displayed.
That is the Divine Temple of the God of Destruction.
In the castle's front yard, there lived a creature that was over 700 meters long and dark blue all over.
This creature has three long horns on its forehead, each over a hundred meters long, and its entire body is surrounded by electric light.
"Thunder Dragon?"
The Godess of Kindness, who had been silent all along, looked at the creature and almost blurted out the answer.
Thunder Dragon?
The God of Evil and the Asura God exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.
They certainly knew about these creatures; they were true dragon descendants, hybrids of the Light Sacred Dragon and the Thunder Elemental Sacred Dragon. In the Douluo Plane, these true dragons were called the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!
Thunder Dragon is incredibly powerful. During the Dragon God War, several members of the Thunder Dragon lineage possessed strength that reached the level of First-Level God, causing significant damage to human deities.
Later, those Thunder Dragons were killed by the Earth Elemental God, one of the seven Elemental Gods, using the power of the earth, and this divine beast became extinct.
So here's the question: why are there Thunder Dragon appearing in the Divine Temple of the God of Destruction?
Although the Thunder Dragon in the light screen has not yet reached the level of First-Level God, it has at least reached the level of Second-Level God.
"Destruction... It seems there's a rule in the Divine Realm that prohibits keeping divine beasts!"
"The God of Evil said leisurely."
Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction coldly said, "It's just a Thunder Dragon. Sending it to the Douluo Plane to serve as cannon fodder is making the best use of it."
At this point, the God of Destruction continued, "However, I wonder if a Thunder Dragon comparable to a Second-Level God, along with two First-Level God, can kill that brat?"
"You mean..."
The Godess of Kindness tapped the table and said calmly.
The God of Destruction stated bluntly, "What I mean is that there are still too few gods going to the Douluo Plane. Perhaps we need to send more gods to the Douluo Plane."
"No need! My successor will suffice!"
A grand voice rang out, and the next second, a giant a hundred meters tall strode into the hall.
The giant had an ancient and majestic face, wore a white robe with gold trim, and wore a three-pronged ring on his head, with a light blue gemstone set in the center of the ring.
It was the Sea God.
Before becoming a god, Sea God was not human, but a distant relative of humankind, Sea Giant among the ancient Tai Tan.
At this moment, the Sea God stormed to the round table and said in a deep voice, "I descended to the Douluo Plane with my God Soul, yet I failed to kill that brat. This is a great disgrace! I will wash away this shame!"
What are you going to do?
The Asura God, who had a good relationship with the Sea God, asked curiously.
"I will choose a successor, and my successor will go and kill that brat!"
The Sea God clenched his fist and sneered, "Moreover, I have already found a successor who can quickly ascend to godhood and possesses extremely strong combat power!"
"Who is it?"
Even the Godess of Kindness asked curiously.
"Hehe, you'd never guess."
The Sea God chuckled and said, "It's the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!"
