Cloud and mist were like a mischievous child, as if controlled by an invisible hand.

The previous moment, they surged wantonly, howling and sweeping away everything.

The next second, they grew quietly still, drifting gently in the air like a sleeping giant beast.

Rich Heaven and Earth Yuan Power lingered within the clouds and mist. If ordinary people came here, even just taking a single breath could prolong their lives by ten years.

Of course, given the physique of ordinary people, coming here to absorb Heaven and Earth Yuan Power was by no means a good thing.

Because these were all divine powers!

Could ordinary people come here?

Obviously, this was impossible.

This was no ordinary place; this was the God Realm!

The towering palace glittered with a faint golden radiance under the illumination of the halo.

This was the center of the entire God Realm, and also the place that controlled everything in the God Realm, named the God Realm Committee.

The main hall of the palace appeared octagonal. Although the surrounding walls had no decorations, countless scenes were shifting and flashing upon them.

Every single light screen represented a different world of humanity.

In the center of the main hall, a round table was placed. The material of the round table was unknown; looking closely, one could actually see clouds and mist drifting across its surface.

At this moment, five people were sitting around the round table.

Sitting in the main seat was a man wearing a gorgeous blue long robe.

Hair the same color as the robe was scattered behind him, and ripples seemed to be shimmering on the lavish blue long robe.

Staring at it for a moment, one seemed to be drawn in by that deep azure blue, and even one's entire soul would be sucked into that blue like the ocean.

The two people sitting on his left side wore black and white robes, respectively.

The one wearing the black robe was a young man with a head of short black hair, looking very spirited. Within his seemingly calm eyes, fire seemed to be beating, and the slightly raised corners of his lips still carried a trace of evil aura.

The one wearing the white robe was a woman with fiery red long hair draped behind her. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, and she had an even more peerless sense of purity.

Sitting opposite them, which was on the right hand of the man in blue, were also a man and a woman.

That man could not be seen clearly. He wore a large purple cloak, and the hood attached to the cloak completely covered his head, allowing others to only faintly see that two red lights were beating within the cloak, and inside the cloak, there seemed to be an endlessly profound and terrifying aura.

As for the woman beside him, it was just the opposite. A water green long robe filled with the aura of life, and a faint smile always hung on her face.

Her appearance was not the least bit inferior to the woman opposite her.

But the difference was that a layer of faint gold was veiled over her face.

That full of life feeling was truly unforgettable, and even more so, it made one unable to resist getting close to her.

The normally peaceful God Realm Committee was currently filled with fierce arguments.

One of the disputing parties was precisely the blue-haired young man, Tang San, who possessed the dual divine seats of the Sea God and the Asura God.

As for the other, it was the God of Destruction, who was one of the Five Great God Kings along with Tang San.

The core issue debated by the two was the expansion of the God Realm proposed by the God of Destruction, while Tang San had raised an objection.

The root cause of the deadlock between the two was the replacement of the candidates for the Five Great God Kings.

Due to the Evil and Goddess of Goodness shirking responsibility, the successors who had just ascended to the God Realm obviously had little say, and the God of Destruction, as the oldest Divine King, naturally could not accept the rebuttal from this newly appointed Asura God.

Seeing that the two gods were still arguing endlessly, the woman in the green skirt sitting beside the God of Destruction said, "This matter indeed needs to be discussed at length, Destruction, you shouldn't be too hasty either."

As soon as she spoke, the gaze of the God of Destruction instantly turned a bit softer, and his entire person fell into silence.

The woman in the green skirt looked at Tang San and said with a smile, "Sea God, I feel that your vitality has been thriving recently, is your family going to add a new member?"

"Um~?" Tang San was stunned, looking at the woman somewhat without reaction as he said, "Goddess of Life, what are you referring to?"

The Goddess of Life did not explain, saying, "Go back and ask that one of yours, and you will naturally know."

Tang San seemed to have thought of something, his expression shifting slightly, and a flash of excitement vanished as quickly as it came. He nodded toward the Goddess of Life and said, "Thank you."

The two people sitting opposite the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life also simultaneously congratulated Tang San with smiles at this moment, saying, "Congratulations."

Tang San smiled in return.

The God of Destruction said with a somewhat cold and stiff voice, "Congratulations."

Although there wasn't much congratulatory meaning in his tone, he finally said it after all.

Tang San also made a concession at this point, proposing to strengthen patrols and also tighten the approval process for deity replacements.

Hearing his concession, the God of Destruction reluctantly accepted it, and then found an excuse to leave the God Realm Central.

Seeing this, the Goddess of Life looked apologetically at Tang San, but she also stood up and said to the three opposite her, "Sea God, Goodness, Evil, I'll be leaving first as well. I need to keep an eye on him so he doesn't get too radical."

Tang San's thoughts had already drifted away by this time, and he stood up and smiled, saying, "Go ahead."

Following the departure of the Goddess of Life, leaving Goodness and Evil on duty, Tang San flicked his large sleeve, instantly transforming into a blue stream of flowing light and drifting away.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu!"

Along with the echoing call, a ray of light subsequently appeared on the top floor of the God Realm Committee.

The calmness and majesty he showed earlier in God Realm Central vanished completely, replaced by urgency, and even excitement.

Inside the warm bedroom sat a woman whose long hair was combed into a scorpion braid hanging before her chest, her peerless, delicate face fair and moving, especially her pair of eyes, which looked exceptionally lively.

Compared to the nobility and elegance of the God of Kindness, she was even clearer and more moving, possessing a unique, indescribable temperament.

The door opened and a blue figure rushed in from outside. In just a flash, he reached the woman's side, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and stared with burning eyes at the person before him.

"Xiao Wu, you—you're pregnant?"

Tang San could not suppress the emotions in his inner heart, and his inquiring voice carried a trace of trembling.

Xiao Wu pouted, and said crossly, "You only know how to ask about the child. Hmph, you don't care about me at all."

Watching his wife act all petulant, Tang San hurriedly pulled her into his embrace and softly coaxed her.

"Whether it's you or the child, both are my most cherished treasures. Without you, how could there be any children?"

"Xiao Wu, do you feel any discomfort right now?"

Xiao Wu smoothly leaned into Tang San's embrace, and said with a smile, "I don't feel any discomfort. The Goddess of Life said our child is already over two months along. Seven more months and I'll be able to give birth smoothly. Wutong is going to have a younger brother."

"Tell me, what name should we pick for him?"

Tang San laughed foolishly. "Really? We're really going to have another precious baby?"

"That's great! This is truly wonderful!"

"Xiao Wu, thank you."

Xiao Wu playfully pushed him away, then made three chapters of agreement with him.

How could Tang San, utterly henpecked, dare not agree? He hurriedly consented to the two things Xiao Wu proposed. As for the third thing, considering Xiao Wu hadn't thought of it yet, it was owed for now.

Seeing him agree to her demands, Xiao Wu giggled, wrapped her hands around his neck, and said, "That's more like it. Seeing how obedient you are, I'll tell you another piece of good news—the baby isn't just one, you know."

"The Goddess of Life told me they are twins, and both are boys."

"So, hurry up and think about what to call our two precious babies."

Hearing that they were twins, how could Tang San still pay attention to anything Xiao Wu said afterward?

For a moment, the smile on his face could not be suppressed from showing.

Watching Tang San, who kept foolishly smiling, Xiao Wu discontentedly pinched his ear. "I'm asking you for the children's names!"

Tang San hurriedly reined in his focus, and said, "Our precious daughter is called Tang Wutong, meaning the little phoenix of Tang San and Xiao Wu."

"Then for our two precious sons, let's follow this pattern. I think the older brother can be called Tang Wulin, and the younger brother can be called Tang Wuyang. How does that sound?"

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she said, "Tang San and Xiao Wu's little Qilin, and little sun? Great! Great! Let's call them that."

The joy brought by the two children did not last very long. Soon, because the God of Destruction insisted on expanding the God Realm, a great battle arrived as scheduled.

Right at the same time Tang San and the God of Destruction battled, the day of delivery drew near.

Sea God's Mansion.

"Ah—! Ah—!"

As Xiao Wu's cries subsided, the cries of a small child rang out within the mansion.

Tang Wutong, who had been standing guard to the side for a long time, held one in each hand and walked to Xiao Wu's side with a smile on her face. "Mom, they're younger brothers."

Having spoken, she placed the two children side by side on the right side of Xiao Wu's pillow.

Tang Wutong pointed at the infant on the inner side, and said, "Mom, this is the older brother, and the one next to him is the younger brother."

Xiao Wu kissed each of the two babies on the face, stretched out her hand to gently touch the treasures' tiny fists, and a reluctance to part poured from her eyes. "Wutong, Xiaowulin and Xiaowuyang are left to you. I'm going to help your dad."

Tang Wutong looked at Xiao Wu's resolute gaze, knowing she couldn't stop her. "I understand, Mom. I'll protect my younger brothers well. You and Dad must be careful too."

With Xiao Wu joining, the battle situation eased, and Tang San was also inspired by the safe births of Tang Wulin and Tang Wuyang.

Right as the divine war neared its end, the disaster Tang San had previously predicted finally arrived.

The pseudo-creation power formed by the combined efforts of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction could only barely reduce the impact brought by the space-time turbulence.

When the crisis arrived, the gods and priests shouted in unison, "Vow to live and die with the God Realm!"

Just as the entire God Realm worked with one heart to jointly resist the space-time turbulence,

God Forbidden Land.

Violent tremors split the earth. Earlier, during the full-out battle between Tang San and the God of Destruction, the forests here had long since been leveled to the ground.

At this very moment, the Central Tower of the God Forbidden Land also collapsed amid the collision between the God Realm and the space-time turbulence.

Golden light continually spread outward from the fissures, accompanied by bursts of a dragon's roar.

That dragon's roar was filled with unwillingness and resentment, carrying the dragon's roar of destruction and annihilation desires. Inheriting half the power of the strongest god, the Dragon God, the Golden Dragon King rushed out of the fissure with its wings spread.

The Golden Dragon King's goal was clear: destroy this place that had sealed it for many years.

Following the departure of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, Tang San, as a supreme god, was now the strongest being in the God Realm, yet when facing the Golden Dragon King, he still had a feeling of palpitations.

Seeing Tang San fall to a disadvantage, the God of Kindness and the God of Evil cooperated with Tang San to unleash the Three Realms Judgment Sword.

Feeling the killing intent before it, the Golden Dragon King turned around to prepare to retreat, but the killing intent behind its back grew instead of lessening, and it knew it could no longer escape.

That being the case, the Golden Dragon King prepared to perish together with them, its body continuously shrinking as it rushed toward the Protective Barrier of the God Realm Committee.

"Roar~"

The Golden Dragon King burst forth with a final roar from its maw, its dragon mouth wide open as a ball of golden light spewed out from within.

Following that, beneath the Three Realms Judgment Sword, the Golden Dragon King's life was also reaching its end, yet its eyes carried the intoxicating thrill of revenge.

It poured all the bloodline and power of its entire body into a bright gold crystal, and then controlled it to fly away into the distance.

At the same time, a trace of colorful halo flashed and vanished at the center of the crystal.

The three figures in the sky flashed over almost simultaneously, wanting to intercept that golden light, yet they were all bypassed by it as the golden light continued to accelerate.

At this moment, all three of them were drawn by the outer perimeter's golden light, failing to notice the Power of Creation hidden in the center of the crystal in the slightest.

Tang San, whose visual ability was the strongest, saw that the center of the golden light was a golden crystal, and the patterns upon the crystal looked just like the scales of the Golden Dragon King.

"A God Core, that's the God Core of the Golden Dragon King!" the God of Kindness cried out in alarm after seeing it clearly.

Upon hearing the words of the God of Kindness, Tang San instead breathed a sigh of relief, for he knew that a God Core possessed no aggressiveness.

At the exact same time that the Protective Barrier of the God Realm Committee was pierced, the God of Emotion Huo Yuhao—a young man who had now changed his name to Dai Yuhao—also spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Tang San suddenly sensed that something was amiss, and for a moment he could no longer care about the God Core, flying toward God Realm Central at the very first instance while the God of Kindness and the God of Evil continued to pursue the God Core.

When Tang San rushed into God Realm Central and poured his remaining divine power into it, his heart felt as though it had been tightly gripped by a giant hand.

"No." Tang San cried out in alarm, and Xiao Wu, who stood behind him, could not help taking a step backward as the gods of the God Realm successively looked toward Tang San.

"Third Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Wu looked toward Tang San with worry.

Outside the inner chamber of God Realm Central, Tang Wutong was currently holding her two newborn younger brothers while keeping watch, simultaneously urging her own divine power in an attempt to integrate her strength into God Realm Central.

Right at that moment, a streak of golden light suddenly appeared before her, and before she could even react, that golden light drilled into her arms and vanished.

"Um~?" Tang Wutong was stunned for a moment.

Yet in the next instant, she could not help screaming out loud.

Dazzling golden light instantly burst forth from one of the younger brothers in her arms, and in a split second, Tang Wuyang's entire body actually turned into a translucent gold.

Moreover, that golden color caused Tang Wuyang's tiny body to begin expanding outward, and upon the surface of his skin, a layer of fine, diamond-shaped dragon scales also emerged.

Tang Wulin, who was right beside Tang Wuyang, was blinded by the golden light on his younger brother at this moment and began to wail loudly.

Just as Tang Wutong was at her wit's end, two pairs of palms reached over simultaneously, pressing respectively upon the forehead and lower abdomen of Tang Wuyang's tiny body.

Black and white, two-colored halos were injected into him simultaneously, and under the gentle pouring of the radiance, they forcefully halted the growth of Tang Wuyang's body.

Only then did Tang Wutong notice that the God of Kindness and the God of Evil had arrived by her side at some unknown point.

However, their expressions at this moment were both utterly solemn.

"Wutong, hand Little Wuyang over to us!"

After the God of Evil spoke, he reached out to take Tang Wuyang over, hurriedly walking toward the room where God Realm Central was located together with the God of Kindness.

After soothing the crying Tang Wulin, Tang Wutong hurriedly followed behind the God of Evil and the God of Kindness.

However, what no one noticed was that after the Golden Dragon King's God Core entered Tang Wuyang's body, a trace of colorful halo upon Tang Wutong—who was holding him—was stripped away as if by an invisible force, silently injecting itself into Tang Wuyang's body.

This flash-and-gone change went completely unnoticed, even by the God of Evil and the God of Kindness who were Divine Kings.
