Asura's True Intentions and the Dragon God's Secret
Han Li truly did not expect that Asura would suddenly intervene at this crucial moment.
What happened to the God Realm Committee? What about Destruction? What about the other God King? This is utterly ridiculous. Before, he had to be extremely careful in everything he did, but after he revealed his ability to Self-Created Godhood, he's completely messed up?
Is this really reasonable?
Of the Five Great God Kings, only Asura is single in every sense of the word. Are the other two God King too busy dating to even do their jobs?
To be honest, Han Li, who had thoroughly read the original work and a lot of fan fiction, could guess what Asura wanted to do.
It's nothing more than using the Divine Slaughter's Domain on the three of them to deliver the God Position. The rabbit scabbard is one thing, but why is he trying to stage a risk-sharing drama with him too?
Strictly speaking, Han Li did not actually object to his approach. If they could share, what they would be stealing was the Asura status and authority of the Divine Realm, and they could also reduce the opponent's combat power to a certain extent.
In a sense, this raised the bar for the girls. Becoming First Level God is easy, but becoming God King is difficult. Even Han Li could hardly guarantee that they would be able to keep up with him.
Dual Cultivation also has its limits. Even Gu Yue would find it difficult to bear more than two supreme laws, and that's only if she had sufficient foundation.
Speaking of which, Asura is actually quite pitiful. Among the Five Great God Kings, only he is affected by the aura of divine power. The other God King are just difficult to have offspring. It really affects his mental state. If we really want to talk about it, if the Angel God had not fallen, he might be considered a suitable partner for him.
But the timing of Asura's intervention—whether it's early or late—will undoubtedly disrupt Han Li's original plan and become an unstable factor, which is what he hates most.
He had carefully examined them and found no extra problems with any of them. Their Divine Slaughter's Domain had not been tampered with in any way. After all, none of their domains were the original versions; they had already been baptized by the laws. Without forcibly invading them, Asura could only mobilize the laws to exert a slight influence.
The accelerated God Exam and the unusual behavior of the three people seemed more like Asura giving Han Li a heads-up beforehand, so that he could be mentally prepared. It was just that this way of giving him a heads-up startled him quite a bit.
What I do is none of your business. Perhaps in the other person's eyes, the willingness to give hints is only because of his considerable potential and the possibility of him becoming the future heir.
They haven't made a move yet? Is it because they can't withstand the Asura Power? After all, unlike the rabbit in the original story, the three of them are proper humans, and some even have the potential to become gods. More importantly, Han Li has grown up right under their noses, so they know his temperament well.
"You'd better do that."
Han Li handed the grilled food to his master and murmured something under his breath.
"What? Who are you planning to threaten now?"
Taking the things handed to him and hearing his mutterings, Broad Hill teased him with great interest.
"Master, it's a god."
Han Li replied with a smile, "He didn't name anyone, right?"
Broad Hill paused in his eating, then mumbled, "God, count me in then. Soon, your master will be one too."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, Master."
Han Li did not refuse his master's good intentions. Of course, when the time came, he would definitely refuse his master's offer to risk his life.
He's unlikely to die; there's no need for him to make an unnecessary sacrifice.
He sent a message to the others, telling them that everything was fine and they should digest what they had gained. Han Li then spent most of the day talking with his master. Before leaving, he left his master a lot of jade made of Faith Power before getting up to go.
Under his watchful eye, the three women began their Eighth Trial once again, and Han Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his Cultivation Space.
When his figure reappeared in front of Gu Yue, he saw her holding a life-size jade figurine and secretly peeking at him.
The communication method Han Li gave her was high-level and had sufficient permissions. Although she couldn't speak, it was still fine for observing the group chat content.
"What exactly happened?"
Han Li had just stood still when he heard her question.
"It's nothing, just a little trick by Asura. Is it a gift? Based on my guess, he probably wants to give me the God Position in order to divide the power."
Faced with this future main fighting force, Han Li did not choose to hide it. She and the Golden Dragon King were essentially in the same situation, so it was not difficult for her to understand.
"He can't hold on any longer?"
Gu Yue was taken aback, then said thoughtfully, "Among the experts at the God King level, it is no secret that Asura are subject to the erosion and influence of divine power."
Perhaps this was also a factor in the gods' alienation of him?
You know what, it seems like he really is a lone commander! To be honest, aside from the Dragon God, he himself is the biggest destabilizing factor in the Divine Realm, so it seems quite reasonable for Destruction to pay more attention to him.
"It shouldn't be that bad, but it's true that he wants to leave."
Han Li's eyes flickered; ultimately, he hadn't stood high enough, and subconsciously, he had overlooked this possibility.
"Ha, if you had been born ten thousand years later, you might have been able to enjoy a good show. What a pity."
Gu Yue chuckled, as if he had imagined some interesting scene.
"If I were ten thousand years later, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for me to become a god."
Han Li replied with a smile that being active in this period was easy for him. If it were ten thousand years later, his cheat system might not be able to support the God King's ten-thousand-year plan. Perhaps only Brother Tongzi could save him.
He's very self-aware; he's just an average person. Right now, he's nothing more than a pig standing on the cusp of opportunity, enjoying the benefits.
"There's no need to belittle yourself; that Asura guy is just lucky."
Gu Yue, however, felt indignant on Han Li's behalf and sighed in sympathy.
"You don't seem to have that much hostility towards Asura?"
Han Li looked at her with some curiosity, after all, she had been cut down by a single sword.
"He's just a henchman. I am equally hostile to all the gods in the Divine Realm. Compared to them, he's not so detestable. Those gods are all a bunch of stubborn fools."
Gu Yue responded calmly; anyone who didn't know better would think she was the Dragon God herself.
Han Li was hesitant to comment; he only agreed with part of it. After all, the group of idiots she was talking about were still standing on their heads. He didn't like planting flags; it would be more appropriate to say such things after defeating the opponent.
However, Gu Yue's attitude also proves that his initial targeted strategy was correct, and the gods in the Divine Realm are indeed stubborn.
On one hand, they crave power, but on the other hand, they crave stability and are unwilling to take any risks. Perhaps they will only make a move when pushed to the brink? Perhaps the Asura's recent actions were not unknown to anyone? Perhaps they were simply tacitly approved? With the emergence of a new Asura God, they can at least hold out for a long time? In their original mindset, they were certain that I would be forced to relinquish control of the plane under pressure?
A new Asura God has appeared, and the Divine Realm may advance further? Everyone is happy? The only one whose interests are harmed seems to be me, the newly born god? And then a God of Law Enforcement will be given as compensation? Han Li silently speculated in his heart, but it only felt more and more reasonable.
Well, with the bestowal of God Position and the protection of others, it seems quite reasonable for them to integrate into the community.
Wow, that sounds really good.
"What a pity! I'm born with a rebellious streak. A true man lives between heaven and earth; how can I live a life of meek subservience to others?" Han Li revealed a bright smile.
"If that's really the case, you'd better choose to accept the God Position of Asura at the last moment."
Gu Yue didn't know what he was thinking, but instinctively guessed it wasn't anything good. Every time he smiled like that, it didn't look like he had any ill intentions.
"Kindness."
Han Li nodded. In fact, he had already made this plan when he roughly guessed what the other party was thinking, and Tang Chen's side was already a part of his subsequent plan.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Divine Realm will react once you've gained full power."
Gu Yue's words were tinged with undisguised schadenfreude. "Those fools only care about immediate gains. They'll regret letting you go."
Han Li glanced at her; Gu Yue was very aggressive today.
"However, this was inevitable. Even if it wasn't you, someone else would have taken this step someday."
Gu Yue suddenly became somewhat disinterested.
"How so?"
Han Li became interested. Her words at this moment most likely represented the Dragon God's opinion. This person was indeed very strong.
"In the words of the Dragon God, the Five Great God Kings of the first generation were born with flaws. They would be strong, but they would never be the strongest."
"Their physical form and the rules they control determine their limits to a certain extent; even God Position is a constraint. Otherwise, why do you think that after endless ages, they still rely on their own authority and only think about increasing their strength through the expansion and upgrading of the Divine Realm?"
"Apart from the supreme rules, no matter how many laws they master, their strength will only increase to a limited extent. The peak of the God King is their limit. As long as they remain in that position, the other supreme laws will reject them, and they clearly do not have the talent to break through."
"Asura's choice to give up his God Position and leave the Divine Realm is not necessarily a bad choice. With good luck, he might be able to reach the level of the Dragon God. Although the hope is still slim, it is still better than the gods who are still stuck in the same place."
"And those gods who imitate them, let's not even talk about them."
"Of course, this is just the opinion of the Dragon God. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Despite saying this, Gu Yue's face carried a hint of arrogance, combined with what she had previously told Han Li about the Dragon God's cultivation method.
Clearly, this also represents her thoughts.
