Sea God Palace.

Poseidon had just returned to his throne when the figure of the Asura God quietly arrived.

Poseidon, slightly surprised, said, "What brings the Asura God King here? May I ask what brings you here?"

Meeting in private—what secret is there that you cannot reveal to God?

"There are two things," the Asura God said bluntly, his tone as cold and hard as ever.

"Please speak," Poseidon, adopting a posture of attentive listening.

" In the Shrek Academy of Heaven Dou City, there is a Soul Master Tang San. He has Innate Full Soul Power and possesses Twin Martial Souls: the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer," Asura God stated bluntly.

"I know you are looking for a successor, and I hope you will give him priority consideration."

It's Heaven Dou City again...

Poseidon nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor refusing outright, but instead asked, "And the other matter?"

The Asura God's gaze suddenly sharpened, fixing on Poseidon with undisguised, chilling killing intent:

"If you find the person who has mastered the Slaughter Law... I hope you can secretly take action and kill them!"

"With your strength, even if you only use your Divine Will, it wouldn't be difficult for you to do this."

What good is mastering the laws? The Slaughter Law only has meaning if one inherits the Asura Godhood. Before becoming a god, one is ultimately just an ant!

Upon hearing this, Poseidon's face showed surprise. "Why is that?"

Such a successor who perfectly embodies the Slaughter Law is a rare find.

If it were Him, even if it violated some rules of the Divine Realm, He would definitely try to protect Him.

Asura's actions truly puzzled Him.

Is it that they don't want to relinquish their authority? Then they won't subject Him to Divine Trial; who can force Him then?!

"If this succeeds, I will owe you a favor!" The Asura God did not explain, nor did he ask Poseidon whether he agreed or not. He simply left this promise and turned to leave.

The Blood-red Cape drew a chilling arc in the air.

He believed that in exchange for a favor from the god-king Poseidon, which was not too difficult for him to do, there was no reason for Poseidon to refuse.

As for Tang San, once the Blue Silver Grass evolves, his talent will still be top-notch. If even a god-king like Him can accept him, there's no reason for Poseidon to look down on him, right?

Forest of Life.

The most vibrant and pristine land in the Divine Realm.

The Destruction God King's eyes blazed with a Lie Yan red light as he said, barely able to contain his excitement:

"Xiao Lu! If Asura truly finds a suitable successor and hands over the divine position, then in time, the Divine Realm will finally respect us!"

"At that time, I will devote all my efforts to expanding the Divine Realm Territory and creating a new Divine Realm that is even more glorious than the Dragon God Era!"

The Goddess of Life looked at her spirited partner, a gentle smile on her face, and whispered:

"Little Purple, I understand your ambition, and I'm genuinely happy for you."

"But as you know, while I'm not as weary of life in the Divine Realm as my Sister Goodness, I'm not particularly interested in power and expansion either."

"I know." The Destruction God King smiled awkwardly, suppressing his emotions somewhat.

Immediately, he keenly noticed a slight change in the Goddess of Life's expression and asked with concern, "Is something on your mind?"

Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Life parted her lips slightly, but hesitated to speak.

She knew that what she was about to say might hurt the heart of the Destruction God King.

"We were born together and have spent countless years together. What is there that you cannot say to me?" The Destruction God King softened his tone and encouraged me.

The Goddess of Life hesitated for a moment, then softly probed, "Little Purple, as you said, we have spent countless years together..."

"Then you should also know what my deepest wish is, right?"

Upon hearing this question, the Destruction God King's expression instantly turned somewhat grim.

Of course He knows.

The Goddess of Life's greatest wish is to have her own child!

Although they are nominally "husband and wife," the laws they govern are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.

Let alone procreation, even ordinary physical contact can cause a violent conflict or even fusion of the laws governing both parties.

At best, it will cause fluctuations in one's own Divine Power; at worst, it may cause instability in the laws of the Divine Realm and even the many planes under its jurisdiction.

Under such circumstances, how can one even think about having children?

Seeing the Destruction God King's gloomy expression, the Goddess of Life quickly explained, "Little Purple, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it."

"But over the years, I've thought about it repeatedly and feel that we can never truly become husband and wife. Besides the principle of mutual generation and restraint, there may be another reason."

"What is it?" Upon hearing this, the Destruction God King's expression softened slightly, and he pressed for an answer.

He also longed to find a solution to the problem.

"That is the power of the laws that you and I wield, too balanced, almost completely equal!" The Goddess of Life stated her judgment:

"If your law of Destruction surpasses my law of Life in strength, or conversely, my law of Life suppresses your law of Destruction."

"Then the current stalemate may be about to turn around."

The Destruction God King pondered for a moment, a bitter smile appearing on his face, "What you said does make sense. But... how could this possibly be achieved?"

Their laws are mutually restraining and interdependent. In the normal cultivation process, the growth of their Divine Power and their comprehension of the laws are almost synchronous.

Just like a stable Tai Chi diagram, there is no situation of one side waxing and the other waxing, let alone one side's laws fundamentally suppressing the other.

"It's naturally impossible to achieve this through ordinary cultivation methods." The Goddess of Life's voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of barely perceptible excitement and anticipation:

"But in the last two days, I made a new discovery."

"In the Douluo Continent, there exists a faint, extremely unique Life force. This force... seems to contain a trace of power... that surpasses the laws of a God-King!"

The Destruction God King's deep pupils suddenly contracted, the red light flickering uncertainly, as he exclaimed in shock, "It's Douluo Continent again?!"

Has this lower plane under the jurisdiction of the Divine Realm been making too much noise lately?!

"That's right." The Goddess of Life's voice remained gentle, yet firm. "It is Douluo Continent."

"But I cannot determine the source of that Life fluctuation."

"It could be a priceless treasure containing boundless vitality, a gifted Soul Master, or even a special Soul Beast..."

She spoke slowly, her tone gradually becoming more fervent:

"But I feel that if I can obtain and integrate this power, I might be able to touch that invisible barrier."

"There's even... a chance to break free from the God-King's shackles!"

She looked at her partner, who had been with her for countless years, and her tone was pleading:

"Little Purple, I know you've always cared about the rules of the Divine Realm, but for this glimmer of hope, for us... could you help me?"

The Destruction intent swirling around the Destruction God King fluctuated slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "How can you help?"
