God Realm Meeting, Sea of Consciousness

The towering palace shimmered with dazzling golden radiance beneath the glow of the God Realm. This was the highest point of the entire God Realm, as well as the place that controlled everything within it—the God Realm Committee!

It bore the responsibility of judging the gods, governing the God Realm, and maintaining its rules.

The palace's main hall was octagonal. Although none of the surrounding walls had any decoration, countless light screens flickered and shifted across them. Within every light screen lay a world from a different planet in the mortal realm, a reflected image.

This was also where the God Realm Committee monitored the various planets in this starfield.

A round table stood in the center of the main hall. Its surface seemed to be made from some unknown material. Looking closely, one could see clouds and mist drifting within it, as though it contained endless depths.

"Asura, you have overstepped your bounds."

The man seated on the left side of the round table, cloaked in a large purple cape, suddenly spoke. The Blood Red Eyes beneath his hood instantly sharpened, and his tone gradually turned cold, carrying a trace of accusation.

"The Angel God is a First-level God. Even if you have enforcement authority, you cannot—"

"Destruction, the Angel God knowingly broke the law. Not only did she repeatedly issue divine decrees to interfere with matters in the Lower Realm, she had just secretly gone to the place where we imprisoned the Dragon God with malicious intent. As an Enforcement God, I had the right to execute her." Asura God rose to his feet, his tone grave and his expression carrying a hint of sorrow.

After a brief pause.

Asura God's dark eyes calmly fixed on the God of Destruction as he added, word by word, "No matter who she was."

"Asura!"

The God of Destruction roared furiously, a Cold Glint bursting from his eyes.

At the same time, there was a boom!

The God of Destruction suddenly erupted. Several dark purple divine rings circled around him, followed by layers of dark purple destructive intent that surged forth. In an instant, they bore down on Asura God's position with overwhelming force.

"Destruction."

Asura God had just been about to say something.

But facing the God of Destruction, whose anger had reached its limit, he could only shake his head helplessly. At the same time, he refused to yield and unleashed his Asura Divine Domain.

"Condense!"

Empowered by Asura Divine Power, the intense Killing Intent around him condensed into an icy aura. A layer of Dark Red armor covered in Magic Patterns then emerged and wrapped around him, while his originally somewhat slender frame instantly grew more imposing.

The two stood at sword's point, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense,

as though they might start fighting at any moment!

"Enough."

A calm voice suddenly rang out.

The Evil God King frowned slightly, his tone clearly carrying displeasure.

At the same time, following the words of the Good God King and Evil God King, the two of them joined the Goddess of Life in dispersing the divine domains of Asura and Destruction. The three effortlessly resolved a divine battle that could have begun at any moment.

"As the Angel God was a First-level God of the God Realm, how she should be punished ought to have been determined by the God Realm Committee. It is true that Asura acted unfairly in enforcement and arbitrarily killed a First-level God. His punishment shall be to seal the Asura Divine Sword for ten years. Furthermore, unless there are special circumstances, he may not leave Asura Temple for one hundred years."

The Evil God King and Good God King exchanged a glance. After a brief discussion, the Good God King continued, "Do either of you object to this judgment?"

"Asura has no objection."

"God King—"

"Enough. The matter of the Angel God ends here." The Evil God King glanced at Destruction and spoke sternly. "You are both among the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm Committee. How far are you planning to take this over a mere First-level God?"

"Destruction."

The Goddess of Life walked before the God of Destruction and shook her head, giving him a subtle reminder.

"Humph!"

The God of Destruction shot Asura a fierce glare and let out a Cold Snort, unwillingness flashing through his eyes.

Then he vanished from the Divine Palace together with the Goddess of Life.

Although the Angel God had only been a minor First-level God, she had suited his tastes exceptionally well. Over the years, the two of them had developed some measure of friendship.

The God of Destruction was arrogant, stubborn, and intensely ambitious. He had noticed the Angel God, who had ascended to the God Realm from Douluo Continent, long ago. From his observations, the Angel God was extremely powerful and also matched his temperament. He had intended to win her over and use her to pave the way for his ambitions, but Asura had ruined everything. How could that not enrage him?

That was why, upon learning of her death, he had convened this meeting to demand an explanation for her.

Yet the result of sealing Asura away for one hundred years clearly showed that the Good and Evil God Kings had no intention of pursuing the matter further. Though Destruction was unwilling, he could only accept the outcome.

Douluo Continent, City of Slaughter

Qian Xunji sat cross-legged on the ground, gradually recovering his Soul Power. Beside him, Man Yao also sat cross-legged, black-purple mist swirling around her as she assumed a five-hearts-facing-heaven posture and quietly began cultivating. Qian Xunji had instructed Man Yao to consume the Nether Shore Flower and cultivate.

Within the Sea of Consciousness.

Qian Xunji and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stood facing each other, and the atmosphere between them was somewhat awkward.

Qian Xunji was the first to break the silence. "Why did you help me fight the Evil God?"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger opened its Tiger Mouth and said haughtily, "Humph! Kid, This King did not help you for your sake. I did it for myself. If you die, This King will not survive either."

Qian Xunji knew that this tiger was a little prideful, so he did not pay it any mind. He slowly opened his palm, took out a small bottle, and tossed it to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"What is this?" the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger asked.

"This is the accompanying liquid of the Nether Shore Flower—Nether Liquid. It can stabilize and condense souls, so it should help with your damaged soul," Qian Xunji said.

"You finally found it, kid." The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger spoke delightedly.

"Consider it repayment for what you did. Thank you for helping me fight the Evil God," Qian Xunji said.

"I just did not like the look of him. Who did he think he was, ordering me around like that? He acted so high and mighty. If I could have beaten him, This King would have slapped him to death with one claw," the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger said.

"Also, This King's Life Pearl has now completely fused into your body. Your glory is This King's glory, and your ruin is This King's ruin. This King originally thought that once you helped restore my soul, I could take my Life Pearl and go elsewhere. Now I am completely bound to you. This King has suffered a huge loss this time."

"Oh, so you really did have ulterior motives when you followed me. Speak! What other intentions do you have?" Qian Xunji shouted angrily.

Qian Xunji instantly flew into a rage and rushed forward to wrestle with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. The two had just experienced life and death together, and their relationship had unknowingly grown closer.

"D-Don't hit me anymore. There are no other intentions!" the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger cried miserably. Its face was bruised and swollen, making it obvious what kind of beating it had just endured.

"This beating is repayment for how you deceived me before. Let me vent first," Qian Xunji said.

"From now on, the two of us will be of one heart. If I Become God, I will revive you," Qian Xunji said.

At this moment, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger truly wanted to cry without tears. Why had it brought that up? It had really asked for it.

Qian Xunji gave the bruised and swollen Dark Demon Evil God Tiger one final glance before slowly withdrawing from the Sea of Consciousness.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Life Pearl had indeed fused completely into Qian Xunji's body. Aside from a slight increase in physical strength, Qian Xunji did not feel anything else. Still, he thought that as long as it remained inside his body, it would not be able to run away.

Qian Xunji slowly closed his eyes, recovering his Soul Power while meditating on the battle that had just occurred to gain combat experience from it.
