God King of Destruction

Fu Shiyan interrupted him, speaking calmly:

"You need not ask any further questions about the trials bestowed by the God King of the Upper Realm."

Fu Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

God Trial?

Or is it God Trial by the God King?

His heart was churning with Jingtao, but seeing Fu Shiyan's calm expression, he ultimately didn't ask any more questions.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and replied:

"Yes. I'll take my leave."

Then, he turned and left with several elders.

Fu Zhi jumped down from the courtyard wall and walked to Fu Shiyan. She carefully examined his face and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was indeed alright.

She turned to look at Tang San and the others, and said in a deep voice:

"Alright, back to training."

Tang San opened his mouth, as if to say something, but was stopped by a look from Fu Shiyan.

He could only nod and leave with Fu Zhi.

Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Ning Rongrong also followed suit.

Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm, the Temple of Destruction.

The God of Destruction sat on his throne, with a screen of light floating before him.

The light screen was displaying an image of Fu Shiyan being enveloped by a pillar of light.

The Goddess of Life stood beside him, watching the emerald green beam of light disappear into Fu Shiyan's body, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

The Asura God sat to one side, legs crossed, a faint smile on his lips.

The God of Destruction withdrew his gaze, looked at the Asura God, and said in a calm tone:

"I have already passed on the inheritance to him."

He paused, his brow furrowing slightly, and continued:

"Asura, are you sure this Fu Shiyan knows about the Abyss?"

"And what about that Abyss Demon Realm you mentioned? Does it really exist?"

"Why has the Divine Realm never heard of this for so long?"

The Asura God lowered his crossed legs, sat up straight, and his expression became more serious:

"I read it in Old Asura's diary, so it should be true."

He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"And even if Fu Shiyan doesn't know about the Abyss, we've still found a suitable successor for you."

"You two aren't at a loss either."

The God of Destruction frowned sharply and shouted:

"Asura, we agreed on this from the beginning. I cannot pass on my divine position and my life's Godhood to him; that doesn't comply with the rules of the Divine Realm!"

He stood up, hands behind his back, his voice deep and authoritative:

"Our initial plan was simply to learn about the Abyss through this mortal, as a precaution."

"Violating the rules of the Divine Realm, two gods in one body?"

"Such a thing is impossible for him to simultaneously hold the Godhood of both life and Destruction —even if he could, I would not violate the rules of the Divine Realm!"

The Asura God waved his hand dismissively and muttered:

"If what I saw is real, you'll still give him Dual Godhood in the future, so why pretend to be a proper god..."

As a fellow God King, the God of Destruction naturally heard these murmurs from the Asura God.

His brows furrowed even more, and he turned to look at the Asura God, whispering:

"Asura, what did you say?"

The Asura God chuckled and quickly waved his hand:

"It's nothing, it's nothing! I meant that Destruction, you truly deserve to be called the God of Law Enforcement, you know and understand the law, that's great!"

As he spoke, he gave the God of Destruction a thumbs-up.

The God of Destruction stared at him for a moment, then snorted coldly and looked away.

The Goddess of Life stood aside, watching the two bicker, a slight smile playing on her lips, but she remained silent.

Her gaze returned to the figure in black robes and silver hair in the light screen, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Two gods in one body... If it really could happen... wouldn't he and Xiao Zi be...?

That was something that had never happened before in the Divine Realm.

But Xiao Zi...

Thinking of this, the Goddess of Life glanced at the God of Destruction beside her with a complicated expression.

The God of Destruction watched the Asura God's retreating figure after speaking with him, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his lips.

He thought to himself:

"Whether what Asura said is true or false, or whether there will be an invasion from the Abyss Demon Realm in the future, Asura is only thinking about running away and retiring!"

"Ha... He won't succeed!"

Another day has passed in the blink of an eye.

Fu Shiyan has arrived in Spirit City.

Yue Guan was by his side, introducing him to some of the scenic spots and buildings in Spirit City.

Yesterday, Fu Shiyan studied the content of the First Trial of the God Trial Life and Destruction.

The Life God Trial was quite normal, but the God Trial of Destruction was somewhat...

"Destroy the most evil place on the Douluo Continent."

This is practically a blatant order to destroy the Slaughter City.

He had no idea how the Asura God and the God of Destruction had talked.

Yue Guan pointed to a magnificent hall in the distance and introduced it respectfully:

"Dean Fu, that is the Pope Palace of the Spirit Hall. His Holiness the Pope usually handles religious affairs there."

Fu Shiyan nodded slightly without saying anything.

Yue Guan continued:

"This is the Treasure Hall, which houses the treasures accumulated by the Spirit Hall over the years. That's the Cultivation Hall, used by the Spirit Hall's elite disciples for training..."

The two walked and talked.

Before long, they arrived at the Pope Palace.

The palace doors swung open, and a maid in a golden robe stepped forward, bowed to Yue Guan, then looked at Fu Shiyan and respectfully said:

"Dean Fu, His Holiness the Pope is already waiting inside the palace."

Fu Shiyan nodded slightly and stepped into the hall.

Yue Guan beside him and whispered:

"Dean Fu, I'll stop here. His Holiness the Pope is waiting for you inside."

Fu Shiyan nodded, and Yue Guan stepped aside.

Pope Palace, everything was resplendent with gold and jade.

The towering dome is adorned with intricate patterns, and the surrounding pillars are carved with angelic designs, showcasing the majesty and profound heritage of the Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue sat on the Pope throne above, wearing a golden robe, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, her face exquisite and aloof.

She watched Fu Shiyan walk in, a slight smile playing on her lips. She stood up and said:

"Welcome, Dean Fu, to Spirit City."

Her tone was polite yet distant, as if she were a complete stranger meeting for the first time.

Fu Shiyan walked to the center of the hall, stopped, and nodded slightly to Qian Renxue:

"Your His Holiness the Pope kind."

Qian Renxue raised her hand in a gesture:

"Please have a seat, Dean Fu."

Fu Shiyan sat down in the guest seat.

Qian Renxue sat back on her throne, her gaze falling on Fu Shiyan, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

This was the first time she had seen Fu Shiyan in her true form.

Previously in Heaven Dou City, she always appeared before him as Xue Qinghe.

Now, she can finally stand face to face with him as Qian Renxue.

A complex mix of emotions surged within her, but she maintained a composed smile and began to speak:

"Dean Fu, the reason we invited you here is to discuss the re-election of the Seven Great Sects."

Fu Shiyan nodded slightly:

"Your His Holiness the Pope, please continue."

Qian Renxue continued:

"Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been destroyed, the Upper Three Sects are missing one member. After discussions between the Spirit Hall and the various sects, it has been decided to re-evaluate the Upper Three Sects."
