Suddenly, Phoenix Cry's cry resounded through the sky, Blazing Fire Phoenix leaped up and soared into the heavens!

Ma Hongjun, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils still filled with leaping flames.

Clearly, Ma Hongjun had already noticed that someone was coming.

However, he was at a crucial moment in his cultivation and couldn't stop.

Moreover, the Divine Realm has always been a peaceful place. Even if there are struggles for divine power, they are only fought in secret. So far, no Deity has dared to really take action and break the balance.

Moreover, to be able to enter the Sea of Lava so easily, one must be quite powerful, at least First-level Deity. If one were Second-level Deity, it would be impossible to come here directly without his permission.

Therefore, Ma Hongjun had nothing to worry about regarding the person who came.

There are not many First-level Deity in the Divine Realm to begin with. He has not made any enemies with anyone, and he has never left the Divine Realm since he ascended to it.

However, Ma Hongjun was still shocked for a moment when he saw who it was.

He didn't recognize the young Deity, but he couldn't possibly not recognize the Goddess of Life.

Although he had never seen the Goddess of Life of Goddess of Life, as one of the Five God Kings of the Douluo God Realm, her appearance was enough for the gods to know her identity without needing to say anything more.

This is the absolute power of the God King Position.

Ma Hongjun immediately stood up, walked to the Goddess of Life, and respectfully said, "Ma Hongjun greets the Goddess of Life."

As for the young man beside him, Ma Hongjun naturally knew that he was First-level Deity. However, First-level Deity is different from God King. Although a first-level deity is more noble than Second-level Deity, he does not need to bow or pay respects like God King.

The Goddess of Life nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice, "God of Phoenix, there's no need for such formalities."

Immediately afterwards, the Goddess of Life glanced at Rong Nianbing and introduced her, "This is Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotion."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun and Rong Nianbing exchanged glances and nodded to each other as a greeting. The two men, though of different God Position, were not in a superior-subordinate relationship, so there was no need for them to be overly polite to each other.

Immediately, Ma Hongjun cut to the chase, asking, "What important matter brings the Goddess of Life and the God of Emotion to me? Please speak freely."

He was a shut-in, a Second-level Deity, cultivating alone in his own territory for over twenty years. Only Dai Mubai Couple, and Oscar Couple, would occasionally visit him; he didn't know anyone else.

Ma Hongjun couldn't fathom what could possibly warrant a God King he'd never met and a First-level Deity he'd never encountered personally coming to see him.

Seeing that Ma Hongjun was also a straightforward person, the Goddess of Life didn't bother with any roundabout questions, but directly asked, "I've heard that the God of Phoenix once had a wife, but he didn't bring her to the Divine Realm. I wonder why?"

Upon hearing the Goddess of Life mention Bai Chenxiang, Ma Hongjun immediately frowned, his expression turning grim. Instead of answering, he retorted, "How can a Second-level Deity me bring family members to the Divine Realm?"

At this moment, Rong Nianbing spoke up, "Won't Tang San help you?"

Ma Hongjun turned his gaze to Rong Nianbing, and asked in a neutral tone, "Why would he help me?"

Rong Nianbing paused, his expression filled with confusion. "Aren't you brothers? And supposedly the Shrek Seven Devils?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun sneered and said, "So what if he is? As a brother, helping you is a favor, not helping you is my right. I don't blame him."

He only says that, but is he really not angry?

In fact, Ma Hongjun himself was unsure of his own true thoughts.

Of the Shrek Seven Monsters who became gods, he was the only one who remained alone, while the others were all in pairs.

Tang San told him that he had brought his parents into the Divine Realm, and there were no more slots available, so he couldn't bring Bai Chenxiang along.

Dai Mubai told him that it wasn't easy for Xiao San either. She had just arrived in the Divine Realm and had to manage such a large area, which was full of old gods. If she wanted to have prestige, she couldn't show favoritism. Especially since he was the Law Enforcement God, he couldn't make an exception and bring Bai Chenxiang along.

Oscar told him that the Divine Realm was not a place where Tang San could have absolute power, and that Tang San had no choice but to deal with Bai Chenxiang's situation.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong told him that it was because of Tang San that the Shrek Seven Monsters were able to become gods and enjoy eternal Life, and that they could no longer ask Tang San to be troubled by the Divine Realm because of Bai Chenxiang.

His brothers and sisters all told him that Tang San couldn't help him.

In fact, he knew that if he had worked a little harder back then and obtained the Fire God Position instead of the God Position of God of Phoenix, the current situation would not have occurred, and the agarwood would have been able to accompany him for eternity.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

Therefore, Ma Hongjun actually blames himself the most.

Of course, it would be a lie to say that he didn't mind Tang San not helping him at all.

Therefore, during his twenty-odd years in the Divine Realm, he never left his territory, nor did he want to see Tang San. He simply cultivated silently, or rather, he was numbing himself so that he would no longer think of Bai Chenxiang.

Today, the Goddess of Life and the God of Emotion suddenly came to ask him why he didn't bring his wife to the Divine Realm. Ma Hongjun found it both laughable and heartbreaking.

But the next second, Rong Nianbing's words sent a chill down Ma Hongjun's spine. "Even if Tang San doesn't help you, didn't he tell you that even though you are Second-level Deity and cannot bring mortals into the Divine Realm on your own, you can still apply to the God Realm Committee? I believe that since you are only bringing one of your wives, it should be easy for you to get approved."

At the same time, Ma Hongjun was filled with rage, staring intently at Rong Nianbing, and asked through gritted teeth, "You... are... it... true?"

Rong Nianbing clearly understood Ma Hongjun's anger. After all, if it were him, he would be even more furious. So he didn't care about Ma Hongjun's rudeness at the moment, and calmly replied, "Of course it's true. What benefit would I get from lying to you? The Goddess of Life is right here. Would I lie in front of the God King?"

Ma Hongjun immediately looked at the Goddess of Life, only to see her nod with a complicated expression.

The scene fell silent immediately.

After a long silence, Ma Hongjun sneered and mocked himself, "It seems that in order to demonstrate his fairness, justice, and impartiality, I'm nothing in his eyes. He didn't even give me the slightest chance. What an Asura God! What a Law Enforcement God! What a brother!"

Rong Nianbing opened his mouth, but had nothing to say, because he had also been deceived. Fortunately, he could still salvage the situation; his God Position was still in his hands.

The Goddess of Life was also troubled and didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, because Tang San had done a really bad job. Not only did he not help, but he also kept it a secret from Ma Hongjun.

Finally, Ma Hongjun spoke up, "I understand now. Thank you both for telling me. If you ever need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. Now, I'd like to have some peace and quiet. Please go back first."

This was destined to be an unpleasant meeting, because the truth is often cruel.

The Goddess of Life and Rong Nianbing were indeed not in the mood to stay any longer. After saying goodbye, the two left the Sea of Lava together.

Only after leaving the Phoenix God Realm did Rong Nianbing ask, "Where did the God King learn about Bai Chenxiang?"

The Goddess of Life frowned slightly and replied, "I learned it from Destruction; he went to the Douluo Continent."

Upon hearing this, Rong Nianbing replied meaningfully, "Coincidentally, I also learned about this from the Douluo Continent."
