But if they did not send someone down to retrieve the Divine Pillar, the Divine Realm would become the laughingstock of the entire world.
The Divine King took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the violent fury that had surged beyond control.
His gaze swept back and forth through the crowd.
At last, it settled on the two figures standing at the very front of the crowd.
One was a burly man wrapped in blazing crimson flames, towering like an iron pagoda.
The other was a woman in flowing aqua robes, elegant and serene.
The Divine King raised a hand and pointed directly at the two of them.
"Fire God, Water God."
The moment those two names were spoken, the air in the great hall froze completely.
The two Gods whose names had been called stiffened, and their bodies visibly trembled beyond their control.
Fire God's dark face instantly turned pale beneath the pressure.
Water God's pretty face went white as well, and a dense chill seeped from her hair.
Even Divine Power, the mighty God who had personally crushed someone's body and devoured his divine core, had been killed. What did sending the two of them down to the lower realm amount to?
Yet before the enraged Divine King, neither of them dared utter even half a word of objection. If they dared refuse, they would likely be reduced to ash by the Divine King's thunderous wrath on the spot.
Neither dared show the slightest hesitation.
They gritted their teeth, bowed their heads, and hurried to the center of the hall. With a heavy thud, they dropped to their knees.
"Your Majesty!" Fire God spoke in a rough voice, but the weakness and terror in it could not be concealed.
Water God lowered her head even further, her voice trembling.
