God Realm Expansion Recruits, Xiaotao Becomes Pavilion Master

Sea God Island, under the trees by the lake in front of Zhou Huan's dormitory.

Two men and five women were playing a game called "Three Kingdoms Kill" around a specially made round wooden table.

It was Zhou Huan's group of four, Ma Xiaotao, and Ye Guyi Nan Qiuqiu.

"Kill!"

"Flash!"

"I was careless, I didn't dodge! Little pet, save me!"

"You're clearly a traitor, should I save you?"

"I'm not a mole, we're all in this together."

"I don't believe it. You, that actor- Baozi, used the same innocent act to fool me last time."

"..."

Just then, three beams of divine light suddenly shot into the sky from within the Sea God Pavilion, causing the entire Sea God Island to tremble.

Clearly, Xuanzi and the other two are about to become gods.

Everyone immediately stopped playing cards and looked towards the direction of the Sea God Pavilion.

Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow, a hint of envy on her face. Thanks to the inheritance of the Phoenix God Position, she was already Limit Douluo. However, her Ancestor said that God Realm War was about to break out, and giving her God Position now would only harm her.

Seeing this, Zhou Huan laughed and said, "Senior Xiao Tao, are you trying to become a god?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao curled her lip and said, "Nonsense, which Soul Master doesn't want to become a god?"

Zhou Huan shook his head. "But Lao Ma is right. There will be a great war in the Divine Realm. Otherwise, do you think so many God Position would be devolved? Lao Ma is also thinking of you. If the Douluo God Realm survives this calamity, he will pass the God Position to you. If it doesn't survive, you won't have to die for the Divine Realm in vain."

After hearing this, Ma Xiaotao sighed softly and said, "Of course I know that my Ancestor meant well for me, but I, Ma Xiaotao, have never been afraid of fighting, and even enjoy fighting."

Zhou Huan rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Even if Old Ma gives you God Position, a mere Second-level Deity, are you going to be cannon fodder?"

In fact, Ma Xiaotao understood this principle, but she still murmured, "But it's better than now, where we can't even be cannon fodder."

Xiao Xiao patted Ma Xiaotao on the shoulder and said with a grin, "Senior, we don't have to be cannon fodder. With Master Zhou here, even if Deity attacks this place, we can still run away."

Zhou Huan's lips twitched as she listened. "What you're saying, little girl, is all true, but why do you sound like you were so proud of running away?"

Have you also grasped the essence of the Way of the Dog?

At this moment, Ye Guyi asked, "When gods fight, mortals suffer. If they start fighting, they won't really slap us to death, will they?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Qiuqiu unconsciously swallowed and looked at Zhou Huan with a charming smile, "Really?"

Zhou Huan thought for a moment and said, "It's highly unlikely. Douluo Star and the Douluo God Realm are not on the same energy plane, so it shouldn't affect this place. Of course, if the Outer God Realm that comes is some kind of evil Divine Realm, the kind that burns, kills, and plunders everywhere, then it's hard to say."

Nan Qiuqiu and the others. "..." Your jinx might just come true, not good things, right?

Just as Zhou Huan was about to say something more, the three beams of divine light from the direction of the Sea God Pavilion vanished in a flash.

The next instant, three figures appeared in front of Zhou Huan and the others.

It was Xuanzi, Yan Shaozhe, and Xian Lin'er, who had just become gods.

Without exception, all three were Third-level Deity.

As expected, the Deity recruited through the expansion program were all rather underwhelming.

Zhou Huan guessed that the God of Destruction probably wanted to use more Deity to strengthen the power of the God Realm Hub.

The God Position is bound to the God Realm Hub. Although a small portion of the energy of the God Realm Hub is consumed during the process of passing on the God Position, once the God Position is successfully passed on to Deity, the corresponding Deity will inevitably give back to the God Realm Hub, and the energy given back will be much greater than the energy consumed.

In this way, it can be said that many hands make light work.

At this moment, seeing that Xuanzi and the other two had finally emerged from seclusion as gods, Zhou Huan and the other six naturally offered their congratulations politely. "Congratulations to Xuan Zi (Teacher), Dean Yan (Teacher), and Dean Xian (Dean) on becoming gods."

Xuanzi chuckled, "I never imagined that in my old age I would be able to experience the wonder of becoming a god. My life has not been in vain."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao pouted and immediately complained, "Teacher, I just don't understand you. Why do you have to go to the Divine Realm to be cannon fodder?"

Xuanzi wasn't angry. He simply tapped Xiao Xiao's head lightly and said, "You silly girl, how can you talk about your teacher like that? Your teacher is different from you. You have a long future ahead of you, while your teacher has already lived long enough. I still have the chance to become a god. Even if I become a divine soldier, so what? I'll just die in battle. Dying after experiencing unparalleled glory is a hundred times better than dying in bed."

After hearing this, Xiao Xiao pursed her lips. Although she didn't say anything, she was clearly not convinced. She still didn't want her teacher to do something reckless.

Zhou Huan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, everyone has their own choices, and as long as it's voluntary, that's fine. Besides, Xuanzi is already over two hundred years old. If he can survive this great calamity in the Divine Realm, wouldn't he be making a huge profit?

Even Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er are the same; although they look like they are only middle-aged, they are actually centenarians.

Furthermore, as Third-level Deity, the God of Destruction actually allowed them to bring their respective partners, Cai Mei'er and Qian Duoduo, into the Divine Realm, which was practically the treatment of family members of First-level Deity.

The God of Destruction argued that the Divine Realm is currently in a state of war, and the Deity could die at any moment. Since they are willing to fight to the death for the Divine Realm, why shouldn't there be one more family member slot?

This is what truly compassionate and humane management looks like.

Zhou Huan felt that the God of Destruction was definitely alluding to a certain God King Tang, almost like a slap in the face.

Just as Zhou Huan was making various guesses, Xuanzi looked at Ma Xiaotao and said, "Xiaotao, Yu Hao has already gone to the Divine Realm, and your teacher and I will also be heading Divine Realm soon. Lexuan... Lexuan hasn't returned yet. From now on, you will be the Pavilion Master of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion Master."

Clearly, Xuanzi understands Zhou Huan and knows that although Zhou Huan will protect Shrek, he definitely doesn't want to be a sect leader.

After hearing this, Ma Xiaotao said in a deep voice, "Yes, Xuan Zi."

Yan Shaozhe patted Ma Xiaotao on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. Putting aside the Deity, we at Shrek now have three Limit Douluo —you, Xiao Xiao, and Qingya— as well as Xiao Shuai, a Peak Super Douluo. Shrek will definitely become stronger and stronger in your hands."

After a pause, Yan Shaozhe suddenly smiled and said, "However, you should really think about your personal life. Although you have a long future ahead of you, you still need someone by your side."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao blushed. "Teacher, what are you saying! I've never needed anyone to accompany me growing up. I'm perfectly happy being free and independent on my own."

Yan Shaozhe shook his head helplessly. "You just have too high standards."

Then, Xian Lin'er chimed in, "That's still better than some people being blind."

Yan Shaozhe immediately shut up, sighing inwardly. He blamed himself for being too arrogant in his youth. Of all people to provoke, he had to provoke Xian Lin'er. He had been criticized for decades and couldn't even refute her. Even after becoming a god, he was still being criticized.

Seeing this, Xuanzi quickly said, "Alright, we should prepare to head to the Divine Realm. The Destruction God King hasn't given us much time. You two should go back and take Mei'er and Duo Duo with you."

"Yes, Xuan Zi."

After saying that, Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er walked towards their own homes, one on each side.

Xuanzi was probably thinking of taking some chicken legs home with him, but as he turned to leave, Xiao Xiao called out to him from behind, "Teacher, have a safe journey."

They almost sent Xuanzi away.

This girl always manages to surprise you with her language.
