After the Nine-Colored Divine Light enveloped Tang San, he felt only a momentary daze before his connection to the Asura Godhood was severed.
Tang San instantly felt hollow inside, overwhelmed by a sudden sense of weakness.
At the same time, the Nine-Colored Divine Light shifted again and sought out Xiao Wu beside him.
Under the divine light's shroud, a small Asura Demon Sword brimming with baleful energy slowly flew out from Xiao Wu's body.
This order was necessary because Xiao Wu was merely the inheritor of the godhood, while Tang San was its true holder.
If the godhood had been pulled directly from Xiao Wu's body, it would have instantly returned to Tang San, causing him to explode from the conflict between godhoods.
Although the Life God King found Tang San increasingly unpleasant to look at, she would not go so far as to harm him over such a matter.
Nor did she wish for the gods to believe that she and the Destruction God King intended to eliminate dissidents, thereby stirring panic among them.
However, while she had not sabotaged Tang San over this matter,
the Life God King, whose own Godhood of Life was about to break through to the God King level after detecting Tang San's Sea Godhood, had used the God Realm Central Hub to place a lock on Tang San.
As long as the God Realm did not expand, the Sea Godhood would never be able to break through to the God King level and could only remain stuck at the peak of First-Class God.
She, the Life God King, was an ancient God King who had lived through the Dragon God's chaos. Did they really think she had no temper?
Seeing that the Asura Godhood had already been stripped away, Tang San turned to leave.
If he stayed any longer, he feared he would be unable to resist drawing the Golden Trident and skewering every god present who was watching him make a fool of himself.
Yet just as he turned his head, Destruction's voice, so loathsome to Tang San, rang out beside his ear again.
"Stop, Sea God Tang San. Surely you do not think stripping you of the God Realm Central Hub and the Asura Godhood was your entire punishment?"
"What else do you want?" Tang San's face darkened. He had already compromised this much, so why was Destruction still pressing him so relentlessly?
The other gods were equally puzzled. Was the Destruction God King already planning to eliminate dissidents? Wasn't he being far too hasty?
But Destruction's next words made the gods breathe a sigh of relief. "It is not about what I want. It is about what Douluo Star's World Will wants."
Tang San froze. "What do you mean?"
The Destruction God King did not answer. He lightly tapped his scepter, sending out a ray of green light that eventually transformed before the gods into the form of a little girl.
Looking at Douluo Star's World Will before him, Tang San's face turned green. How had he forgotten the World Will?
Then Destruction slowly said,
"What we just settled was your crime of abusing the God Realm Central Hub and the God Realm's law enforcement authority. Now, it is time to address your crime of imprisoning the World Will and scheming to seize the plane's authority."
Having said that, he ignored Tang San's incomparably dark expression and continued to the World Will,
"Do not worry, Plane Will. Name whatever compensation you need. With us here, we will certainly obtain justice for you."
There was no other choice. Destruction could only seek some benefits for the Plane Will, since the God Realm Committee would most likely not permit the execution of a First-Class God over a single Plane Will.
Sure enough, the other gods chimed in one after another. Now that Tang San was no longer the Asura God King, they no longer needed to fear him too much.
More importantly, they were happy to see such a major matter reduced to a minor one.
Otherwise, what if they carelessly made a mistake in the future and were dragged out and executed on the spot?
Even so, the innocent Douluo Star Will gratefully bowed to the Destruction God King, the Life God King, and the other gods.
Only then did she look at Tang San's grim face and say, "I need the Sea God to return Douluo Star Ocean Authority."
This made the gods look at Tang San with even greater contempt.
What a joke. Douluo Star had nurtured a Sea God, yet not only had he failed to show gratitude, he had brazenly seized Douluo Star Ocean Authority as well.
Sea God Tang San was furious. He had not been the one to seize the Ocean Authority; it had been the previous Sea God.
Of course, he had not returned it either.
Even now, he was deeply resistant to returning it.
Douluo Star Ocean Authority was his Sea Godhood's only chance to advance.
After all, the previous Sea God had become a god on Douluo Star, and only there did he have believers.
Without Douluo Star, where could he obtain faith and become a God King?
But as he looked at the watchful gods around him, the God of Destruction beside him with Destruction Divine Thunder surging around him, and Kindness and Evil in the distance looking up at the sky,
the rage in Tang San's heart nearly burned him to ashes.
After sentencing everyone to the path of death in his heart, he finally said with difficulty, "I... will return it."
He raised the Golden Trident, and a pearl containing the aura of the ocean emerged.
Looking at this pearl, Tang San felt ten thousand times reluctant to part with it.
But under the gods' watchful eyes, he hardened his heart, closed his eyes, and gently pushed the pearl forward, returning it to the Plane Will.
Like a swallow returning to its nest, the pearl swiftly entered the World Will's body, making her aura several degrees stronger and even more complete.
The World Will was delighted, and she turned to thank Destruction, Life, and the other gods once more.
Seeing this, Tang San said to the God of Destruction in a low voice, "Can I leave now?"
The God of Destruction waved him away in disgust. "Go on, go."
If Tang San had not caused so much trouble, he would not have had to do all this extra work in the first place.
It was one thing that he had not given Tang San a cold look, but Tang San actually dared to give him one. What an absurd reversal of order.
Given that he was in a good mood today and had finally dealt with Tang San, he decided not to bother arguing with him.
Tang San did not dare vent his anger. Under the gods' gazes, he turned and left the God Realm Central Hub with the few gods still willing to follow him.
The other gods did not leave. They were all waiting for the Destruction God King to speak.
Now, the entire God Realm was dominated by the Destruction God King alone. If he wanted to establish a dictatorship, no one could stop him.
But to the gods' surprise, the Destruction God King did not do so.
"Rest assured, everyone. My wife and I will not occupy the God Realm Central Hub either. It will be entrusted to Kindness and Evil to manage."
This was the result Life and Destruction had discussed. They did not want a single God Realm Central Hub to ruin the good image the two gods had worked so hard to build.
After all, whether they possessed the God Realm Central Hub or not, the two of them were still the strongest in the God Realm. That was beyond dispute.
The Asura Godhood had already been split away, while Kindness and Evil possessed only their godhoods, without matching strength or Divine Artifacts.
Hearing this, the gods all breathed a sigh of relief.
Who said the God of Destruction was tyrannical? Wasn't he perfectly reasonable?
It had to be that evil Sea God Tang San who had deliberately misled them all along.
After watching the God of Destruction use the God Realm Central Hub to send the World Will back to Douluo Star, then hand the God Realm Central Hub to Kindness and Evil before their very eyes and depart with the gods of his faction, the other gods finally left in peace.
