The Talkative God-King / The Sea God Peeks at the Angel God's Trial and Gets Taught a Lesson

Even the Ice God and its related pantheon, who should theoretically be their "direct superiors," did not send any messengers or provide any clear guidance.

Just then...

"Smack!"

Without warning, two hands simultaneously landed on the Snow Empress's slender shoulder and the Ice Empress's shoulder covered with hard, frost-covered armor!

"!!!"

Alarm bells rang in the hearts of the two new gods! To be brought into such close proximity without any warning was simply unbelievable!

Their divine power instinctively surged, and they whirled around, wanting to retaliate—

What came into view was... a figure that looked quite young, even with a somewhat unconventional air.

Chapter 340 The Talkative God King

Seeing that a deity was finally approaching, the tense nerves of the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress did indeed relax.

Although this young deity, who called himself Dongfang Yao, was eccentric in his words and actions and had a strange temperament, it was indeed the first kindness they received after entering the Divine Realm.

The Snow Empress spoke first, her voice still clear and cold like an icy spring. "Your Excellency, Dongfang..." She hesitated for a moment before addressing her, "We have just arrived in the Divine Realm and the scene here seems different from what we've heard. Those passing by are also in a hurry. I wonder if anything has happened in the Divine Realm recently?" She keenly sensed the unusual atmosphere in the Divine Realm.

Ice Empress's questions were more direct, even carrying her usual arrogance and impoliteness.

Her emerald green scorpion eyes sized up Dongfang Yao, lingering for a moment on the rather extraordinary-looking longsword at his waist. "Hey, silver-haired brat. You say you're a god? What god? Looking at you..." She paused, seemingly searching for the right adjective, "... and you don't seem like those high and mighty, arrogant old fogies. Coming to help us for no reason? Tell me, what are you up to?"

She didn't believe in the existence of anything purely "helping others for pleasure," especially in a place like the Divine Realm.

Of course, the reason why Ice Empress dared to ask such a question was that Dongfang Yao looked too young, unlike those veteran deities. Ice Empress thought that this was another low-priced priest or deity trying to win her and Snow Empress over.

Faced with questions from the two ice and snow goddesses, Dongfang Yao's eyes lit up, as if he had finally waited for the stage to showcase his talents!

He cleared his throat, straightened his back, and habitually placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, striking what he considered a dashing and meaningful pose.

"Oh dear, you two have come to the right person!" he said excitedly. "But the question you asked is a long story! You wouldn't believe it, when I first arrived, wow, the scene was simply... Anyway, it's because of some... well, very complicated and profound reasons, some God-Kings felt..."

He spoke with great enthusiasm, rambling on and on, his words a jumble of fragmented information interspersed with numerous personal reflections. As he listened, Snow Empress's cool brows furrowed more and more tightly, and the veins on Ice Empress's forehead began to throb faintly.

"... So, right now, there's a bit of panic in the Divine Realm. Everyone's busy with their own things. It's normal that newcomers like you, especially in this remote corner, are ignored!" He finally summarized the reason in one sentence, then changed the subject, "But don't worry, with this genius here, I guarantee you'll integrate quickly... Oh, by the way, you just asked me what kind of god I am, right?"

A fleeting, extremely unnatural look crossed his face, as if he'd been stepped on, but it was immediately replaced by a forced expression of pride.

"Ahem! Well... the divine position I inherited is... quite significant! It's the authority to wield... um... some very important and profound power in the universe! It's the position of a God-King!" He almost uttered the last four words quickly. "My swordsmanship is upright, honorable, imbued with the ultimate principles of the stars, and all-encompassing! It has absolutely nothing to do with ' God of Evil '! Oh, right, my newly created ' God Realm Seven Star Sword Technique '! Let me tell you, this sword technique integrates all my life's learning, combines the unique laws and rhythms of the Divine Realm, and especially references the trajectory of the stars..."

When his "swordsmanship" was mentioned, Dongfang Yao completely lost himself in boasting. He gestured wildly, mimicking the sword moves he imagined, and talked incessantly:

"The first move, 'Greedy Wolf Breaks the Army,' emphasizes breaking through the surface with a single point. The sword strikes like a meteor chasing the moon; its speed and power are so concentrated that..."

"The second move, 'Giant Gate Suppressing the Mountain,' is as stable as a mountain, with unparalleled defense. No matter how it changes, I remain unmoved. It took me three days and three nights to master it..."

"The third move, 'Lu Cun Transforms into Life,' oh my, this move is truly wonderful..."

He spoke so wildly that he seemed oblivious to Snow Empress's increasingly cold gaze and Ice Empress's barely contained urge to strike him with her tail hook.

Snow Empress took a deep breath, resisting the urge to freeze this noisy fellow into an ice sculpture with ice and snow. She closed her eyes and began to silently circulate her divine power, trying to isolate herself from the annoying noise.

She began to wonder if accepting this "help" was a mistake.

Ice Empress gritted her teeth, the anger in her blue eyes shifting from dissatisfaction at being ignored to extreme annoyance at the talkative idiot in front of her.

"Silver-haired brat! Get to the point! Who wants to listen to your lousy swordsmanship!" She finally couldn't help but growl, slamming her tail hook into the ground and sending up a spray of ice shards.

Dongfang Yao was interrupted and paused for a moment, then showed a regretful expression as if to say, "Why don't you know how to appreciate this?" But he still reluctantly stopped his grand plan for the fourth technique, "Wenqu Enlightenment," and scratched his head. "The main point? Oh, you're helping me, right? Because this genius thinks you guys... uh, look pretty pleasing to the eye? And wandering around the Divine Realm alone is just too boring! You guys don't know, those old guys either have stern faces or are full of scheming, unlike you guys... um, so 'unique'!" He finally revealed some useful information, although his wording was still strange.

The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress exchanged a glance, both seeing a deep sense of helplessness in each other's eyes. The Snow Empress rubbed her temples, deciding to give up on obtaining clear and useful information from this fellow and asked directly, "So, Eastern... fellow god, where should we go next? Does the Divine Realm have a fixed abode for new gods like us, or duties to fulfill?"

As for Dongfang Yao Yao's claim that he is a God-King, it was collectively ignored by Snow Empress Ice Empress. Rather than believing that such a guy is a God-King, it's better to believe that you are the Asura God.

Dongfang Yao immediately perked up. "Good question! I'm an expert on this! Come on, I'll take you to the 'New God Registration Office'... well, although there might not be any gods seriously in charge, we still have to go through the procedures."

"And then, this genius knows a few scenic and relatively quiet corners on the edge of the Divine Realm, perfect for those of you who prefer tranquility... By the way, I can continue telling you about my ' Seven Star Sword Technique' on the way..."

Ice Empress: "..."

The tail hook began to tremble uncontrollably.

Snow Empress: "..."

Tiny ice crystals, representing agitation, began to fall all around him.

If it weren't for the fact that Dongfang Yao was the first and currently the only being to actively express goodwill towards them after their ascension to the Divine Realm, the Ice Empress and Snow Empress felt that they probably would have already taken action.

Ice Empress's Azure Scorpion form trembled slightly several times as she forcibly suppressed the urge to lash out with her tail. The icy frost at the tip of her tail flickered erratically, like her nerves on the verge of exploding.

The Snow Empress secretly circulated the Ice-Snow Calm Heart Art several times before barely managing to suppress the rising irritation that made her want to completely bury the source of the noise with a blizzard.

Although her aloof and exquisitely beautiful face remained expressionless, the finer and colder frost crystals that kept falling around her, more dense than usual, betrayed the turmoil within her heart.

Snow Empress even began to doubt her understanding of "gods".

She had lived for countless years, witnessed the fiercest blizzards of the Extreme North, and the most treacherous undercurrents of the deepest sea, but she had never encountered such an incomprehensible, incessantly chattering, and outrageously self-conscious being.

Looking at the gods who occasionally passed by, regardless of the strength of their aura, most of them had indifferent expressions, hurried steps, and were sparing with words. Compared with Dongfang Yao beside her, whose mouth seemed to be equipped with a perpetual motion Soul Tool, she felt that her worldview had been shocked like never before.

This guy didn't even say what kind of god he is, and he's so talkative—is he some kind of god of nonsense?

Just as their patience was about to reach its limit, Ice Empress Snow Empress were willing to use their divine power to temporarily block their hearing, they finally arrived at the so-called "New God Registration Office".

···············

This was an inconspicuous, even somewhat dilapidated, side hall, deserted except for an elderly man who looked quite old, with a calm demeanor but was clearly only of the priestly rank, who was idly tidying up the scrolls on the table that seemed to have been untouched for millennia.

The life levels in the lower realms haven't improved, and the gods weren't particularly keen on passing on their divine positions, so he had a lot of free time here.

Upon seeing someone enter, especially sensing the unique aura emanating from Dongfang Yao— aura that, though deliberately concealed, could not be completely hidden by his status—and the two unfamiliar new gods behind him radiating pure Snow God, the old priest finally raised his eyelids and looked over.

His gaze first fell on Dongfang Yao, and after a careful examination, a respectful smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

He put down the dossier in his hand, stood up, and addressed Dongfang Yao, "Your Majesty, what brings you here? These two are... newly promoted colleagues?"

Although Dongfang Yao has only recently become a god, it is well known that the new Evil God does not like to be called the Evil God.

"God King... Your Majesty?"

"God King... Your Majesty?!"

These four simple words struck the minds of the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress like four silent thunderclaps!

Ice Empress was about to quietly raise his tail hook to take advantage of Dongfang Yao's inattention, froze in mid-air. His emerald green scorpion eyes widened suddenly, filled with extreme disbelief.

She even wondered if she was hallucinating from the noise this jerk was making!

This talkative, childish, rambling, self-proclaimed "genius" silver-haired boy is... the God King?

What a ridiculous, cosmic joke!

The Snow Empress was also startled, and the frost crystals falling around her paused for a moment.

For the first time, a noticeable tremor appeared in her clear, cold silver eyes. She looked at Dongfang Yao in surprise, then at the old priest whose expression did not seem feigned.

Is there something wrong with my ears?

Or is this the Divine Realm's way of expressing humor?

But the old priest's calm yet somewhat formulaic respectful attitude, and Dongfang Yao's natural and proud demeanor, all confirmed one fact for them—this "noise source" that had tormented them all the way, this guy whose words and actions had nothing to do with the god-king labels of "majesty," "sublimity," and "unpredictability," was actually, in fact, a god-king!

They are among the most powerful and influential beings in this Divine Realm!

Ice Empress remembered Dongfang Yao's vague mention that he was a God King, and realized... so it wasn't just boasting... really?!

After the initial shock, Snow Empress quickly calmed down.

Just as Ice Empress and Snow Empress Dongfang Yao beginning to seriously consider applying for a transfer to a remote divine realm for some peace and quiet, the registration office door was pushed open again.

A figure walked in.

The newcomer was a blond young man, tall and handsome, with a gentle and sunny smile that seemed to dispel all gloom.

However, in subtle contrast to this friendly smile was an undeniable, kingly composure and majesty that emanated from him naturally.

This is not deliberate oppression, but a kind of magnanimity that comes from the depths of the soul, making people feel close while unconsciously maintaining a respectful distance, and even faintly giving rise to the idea of wanting to follow or trust.

Most remarkably, the divine energy emanating from him was pure, warm, and filled with a comforting power, like the first ray of sunshine melting snow in spring. This power was not domineering, but rather subtle and pervasive.

The moment the blond boy stepped into the registration desk, Ice Empress and Snow Empress almost simultaneously felt the almost tangible irritation and even a hint of murderous intent that had accumulated in their hearts because of Dongfang Yao, melt away and disintegrate like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, returning to calm.

An indescribable sense of peace and tranquility replaced the previous negative emotions, and even a strange fondness and closeness arose involuntarily towards this unfamiliar young man, as if he were born worthy of trust and entrustment.

This blond-haired boy is none other than the newly appointed Godess of Kindness — Arthur.

Sensing the rapid shift in the emotions in the eyes of Ice Empress and Snow Empress, Arthur felt a barely perceptible sense of helplessness.

He himself discovered that after inheriting this "Goddess of Kindness" divine title, its divine power seemed to have undergone some kind of "mutation" in him. The power to guide people towards good, purify negative emotions, and soothe the soul was spontaneously influencing the outside world almost all the time.

Sometimes, he even had to deliberately restrain himself to avoid instantly "brainwashing" a deity he was meeting for the first time.

This ability might be useful in some situations, but it also caused him considerable trouble.

He nodded gently to the Ice Empress Snow Empress as a greeting, then turned his gaze to Dongfang Yao was trying to force a conversation with the old priest.

"Yao," Arthur began, "the God of Destruction has sent a message, inviting us to discuss something."

Upon hearing the words "God of Destruction," Dongfang Yao's fingers, which had been gesturing enthusiastically, instantly stopped. The expression on his face, which had been that of "this genius is pondering a major problem," fell, and he curled his lip in disdain.

He certainly remembered the God of Destruction.

That god-king was definitely the most proactive "pyramid scheme leader" in the Divine Realm. Ever since he and Arthur arrived, he relentlessly tried to "talk to them," with only one core idea: the Divine Realm is currently in great danger (the Dragon Clan) and internally corrupt (the Asura God, etc.). They must unite (follow his command), destroy and then rebuild (follow his plan) in order to save everything!

They keep repeating the same old routine, as if they're afraid that the two newly appointed god-kings will follow the example of their Goddess of Kindness and God of Evil, and running away as soon as they get their godhood.

Chapter 341 Sea God Spying on Angel God Trial and Getting Taught a Lesson

Worship Hall

A blonde, purple-eyed, and perfectly beautiful girl knelt devoutly on one knee before the Angel Statue in prayer, while the Great Enshrined, Qian Daoliu, stood to the side with a look of satisfaction and composure.

The sacrifice began.

Qian Daoliu's figure slowly rose, hovering above Qian Renxue, his hands outstretched, his expression sacred and solemn, golden light cascading down from the dome, as if he were still that powerful Great Enshrined.

But his current posture is that of a sacrificial offering.

Qian Renxue couldn't help but raise her head.
