The Disposition of Tang San

Under the guidance of the God Realm Central Hub, the Destruction Split Soul returned to the God Realm at even greater speed.

When Tang San returned to the God Realm, he saw the gods gathering one after another at the God Realm Central Hub.

The gods on his side, his die-hard loyalists, had all been taken into custody, including the Shrek Seven Devils.

Tang San was furious and immediately turned the tables on him. "Destruction, are you trying to rebel and turn the entire God Realm into your private garden of destruction?"

The other gods were somewhat puzzled as well. Though the Destruction God King had always been radical, he had never done anything like this before.

Why had he suddenly arrested the gods from Tang San's faction? Even the Life God King, who had always mediated between them, was now standing behind the Destruction God King.

"Heh heh, Tang San, don't you know perfectly well why I did this?"

Watching Tang San's hysterical performance, Destruction saw nothing but a clown.

A lofty God King who dared to act but not take responsibility—how had the former Asura God ever taken a liking to such trash?

He could not be bothered to waste words on Tang San and directly revealed everything to the crowd.

This included Tang San sending his own parents to seize the authority of Douluo Star's plane, using the God Realm Central Hub to satisfy his personal desires, and frequently interfering with the lower realms.

After hearing this, the gods looked at one another in dismay. Could the supposedly pure and noble God King Tang really have done such things?

But the Destruction God King did not seem to be lying, and the Life God King remained silent.

For a time, none of the gods could tell the truth.

"Tang San, do you have anything to say?" Kindness and Evil did not wish to see a war break out in the God Realm, and wondered whether this might be some misunderstanding.

"The two God Kings are in cahoots. I have nothing to say." Tang San's face was filled with indignation, as though the Destruction God King and Life God King had joined forces to frame him.

"Oh, is that so? Then how do you explain why your parents appeared within the Golden Ancient Tree, at the core of Douluo Star's life?"

With a wave of his hand, the Destruction God King released Tang Hao and Ah Yin, whom he had been imprisoning.

At the sight of the two, the gods who had originally been somewhat inclined to believe Tang San immediately began to harbor doubts.

Tang San's heart sank. Tang Hao and Ah Yin had been captured, putting him at a disadvantage. No matter what, they could not be dismissed.

But Tang Hao and Ah Yin spoke first. "Seizing Douluo Star's plane authority was a crime committed by Ah Yin and me alone. It had nothing to do with Lord Sea God."

"Absurd." One of the neutral gods stepped forward.

"You say the two of you joined forces to seize Douluo Star's plane authority? What a joke."

"Think about it, everyone. Douluo Star's plane will possesses strength at least equivalent to a First-Class God. As for these two, they are Divine Officials without even a godhood. What could they possibly use to seize plane authority?"

"You all know the gap between a Divine Official and a First-Class God. Even if the plane will were still in its infancy, its instinctive reaction alone would be enough to crush these two completely."

Those words voiced exactly what Destruction had been thinking. Destruction gave that god a couple of looks. It seemed he would need to pay more attention to him in the future, lest he suddenly die.

As soon as those words were spoken, all the gods erupted in outrage.

The crowd broke into heated discussion, all their attention focused on Tang San.

"What pure and noble? He's clearly a petty villain who dares to act but not take responsibility. He actually let his own parents take the blame for him."

"He's even a Law Enforcement God of the God Realm. No wonder we never heard of any gods from his faction committing wrongdoing. Looking at it now, heh."

One harsh remark after another entered Tang San's ears without restraint.

Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot as murderous intent ran rampant through his mind.

He clenched his teeth tightly, barely suppressing the urge to draw the Asura Sword and slaughter everyone around him.

If he truly drew his sword, he would probably give Destruction a reason to suppress him.

Only after completely suppressing the disturbance within himself did he speak. "Destruction, you've won. The victor is king and the loser is a bandit. I accept it. Tell me, what do you want?"

Hearing Tang San's words, Destruction understood that Tang San had not admitted his wrongdoing at all.

He merely believed that he had failed because of a momentary lapse in judgment.

This only strengthened Destruction's resolve. "Tang San, there are two punishments for you. First, you will be permanently stripped of your authority over the God Realm Central Hub."

Originally, the God Realm Central Hub had been jointly controlled in rotation by the five God Kings.

But with Destruction's words, Tang San lost his right to control the God Realm Central Hub.

Tang San could still accept that. More importantly, with all the gods watching, there was nothing he could say.

"Second, you will be stripped of your Asura Godhood, which will be passed on by the God Realm."

"Impossible!" Tang San roared the moment those words were spoken.

"The Asura Godhood was passed down to me by the previous Asura God, and it should be passed on to the next Asura God by me. I can accept passing it down, but I will never accept being stripped of it."

The Asura Godhood was Tang San's strongest power, without question.

Once he lost it, relying only on the Sea God godhood, Tang San would likely be unable to keep his footing in the God Realm.

Over the years, Tang San had offended quite a few gods.

In the past, with his pure and noble image, the gods had been unable to say anything about him. But now, they all knew he had merely been putting on an act.

How could those he had punished in the past possibly let him off so easily?

Not to mention the gods on the Destruction God King's side, who would never give up such a perfect chance to kick him while he was down.

"That is not up to you, Tang San. Ask the gods—who among them is willing to let you continue serving as a Law Enforcement God of the God Realm?"

Tang San looked around, only to see the gods gazing at him with contempt. He was furious, yet helpless.

This was the prevailing will of the God Realm. By himself, he simply could not resist it.

He still tried to bargain. "Destruction, I am willing to swear an oath. Within one year, I will definitely pass on the Asura Godhood."

"It's useless to tell me that. Ask the gods first whether they agree." Destruction had no intention of taking the bait.

If he agreed but the gods did not, would that not be setting himself up?

Besides, who knew whether Tang San's one year meant one year in the God Realm or one year in the lower realms?

"Absolutely not!" someone shouted.

In an instant, cries of refusal rose from all around the God Realm Central Hub.

What a joke. Today, they had all effectively offended Sea God Tang San.

If Tang San were still allowed to retain the Asura Godhood, would they not have to live trembling beneath Tang San's shadow?

They would have to worry at every moment about Tang San's retaliation.

That was absolutely unacceptable.

No matter what, Tang San had to relinquish the Asura Godhood today.

Listening to the voices of the gods, Tang San clenched both hands into fists. His nails pierced his palms, and threads of blood seeped out and dripped onto the ground.

There was only one thought in his heart. Damn it, all of you bastards deserve to die.

But though his fury remained, he had no way to kill anyone.

In the end, he could only nod in agreement.

"Fine. I accept the punishment."

"In that case, Xiao Lu, activate the God Realm Central Hub."

The Life God King at the side nodded slightly. Raising her delicate hand, she activated the God Realm Central Hub at full power.

Nine-colored light spread outward, and an aura far beyond the gods' imagination unfolded, instantly locking onto Tang San.
