The Angel God Qian Renxue's Fury
More importantly, he has a wide circle of friends and good relations with many neutral or order-oriented deities, making him a key figure for the Asura God to maintain his faction's influence and obtain intelligence.
Throughout the long history of the Divine Realm, the Sea God has always been a relatively reliable "friend" of the Asura God, at least in terms of jointly maintaining the existing Divine Realm order, their interests are aligned.
Now, the Asura God has lost the Asura Divine Sword. That divine weapon, which accompanied him through countless eras of conquest and symbolized the ultimate authority of slaughter and judgment, was not only an extension of his power but also the greatest guarantee of his prestige and military might.
The loss of the divine sword significantly reduced his strength.
At this sensitive and dangerous moment, he needs a powerful supporter like the Sea God more than ever before. He needs the Sea God's strength, prestige, and connections to stabilize his position and confront the aggressive God of Destruction.
Since Dongfang Yao has made a move against the Sea God...
Whatever the reason, this means that, at least in the future, it will be virtually impossible to recruit these two new god-kings to one's side.
So, there's only one path left.
Thinking of this, the deep gloom and ruthlessness on the originally cold and stern face of the Asura God were forcibly suppressed.
Since we can't be allies...
···········
The Asura God slowly stood up and spoke, "Everyone, something extremely serious has happened today that must be dealt with seriously!"
He raised his arm and pointed to Sea God disheveled Poseidon beside him.
"Look!" the Asura God declared righteously, "Poseidon, the Sea God, a highly respected First-Level Main God of our Divine Realm, who rules the vast ocean and whose faith extends to countless planes in the lower realms, is an indispensable pillar of our Divine Realm! Yet now, how has he fallen into such a state?!"
After speaking, he looked at Dongfang Yao, and all the gods' gazes also focused on Dongfang Yao.
"Dongfang Yao!" the Asura God shouted, addressing him by name, "Newly appointed Evil God! What explanation do you have?!"
After saying this, the Asura God took a step forward, his body surrounded by a faint, blood-red phantom of slaughter.
"You have just ascended to the Divine Realm and inherited the authority of the God-King. You should have been cautious and prudent, familiar with the divine laws, and lived in harmony with your colleagues to jointly defend against external enemies! But how have you acted?!"
Chapter 342 The Wrath of Angel God Qian Renxue
In the temple
The atmosphere was solemn, and everyone looked at Dongfang Yao, waiting for his reply.
Of course, the gods also felt that even if Dongfang Yao was really at fault, they wouldn't make this new Evil God pay a heavy price.
He is the King of Gods, nothing more!
There are many conflicts among the Divine Realm, and in the end, strength is the deciding factor.
Dongfang Yao genuinely didn't care; his expression was natural. He suddenly felt that being an Evil God wasn't so bad...
Although he was not wrong.
Instead of answering the Asura God's question, he countered with, "If a deity interferes with or disrupts the divine examinations of other gods, how should the Divine Realm handle it?"
Isn't this something that should be resolved privately?
What should be done?
This same question arose in the minds of all the gods.
The Divine Realm has no clear rules or punishments for such matters.
To be precise, many things in the Divine Realm are not governed by clear rules.
Even if such a rule truly existed, it would be violated from time to time by the gods themselves. For example, gods cannot interfere in the mortal realm, resulting in the existence of the Asura God, the Sea God, the former Evil God, and the Godess of Kindness...
Most of the gods in the Divine Realm have violated this rule.
Essentially, in the Divine Realm, might makes right, and the word goes. Previously, this god was the Asura God.
Hearing this, the Asura God glanced at the Sea God, whose face was grim. Did he understand?
This guy is being cheeky again, messing with the other gods' divine trials. He's First-Level God, and in the past, none of the gods could do anything about him, but this time, Dongfang Yao, that serious guy, discovered it and taught him a lesson.
"If any deity interferes with the examination of other deities without authorization, it should naturally be left to them to resolve privately. After all, this is a private matter between two gods, not a reason for you to harm your colleague," the Asura God replied solemnly.
As for the fate of the mortals tested by the God of Destruction, that was simply a matter of bad luck; they failed the gods' test.
Dongfang Yao dropped the pretense and went straight to the point, saying, "The Sea God interfered with the Angel God Trial, but now that the Angel God is not here, what should be done? Should the Sea God be allowed to control the examinations of other deities at will?"
"If that's the case, then I want to try it too. Isn't it fun to take all those tests?"
Upon hearing this, all the gods' expressions turned sour.
He truly lives up to his name as Evil God!
However, the Ice Empress Snow Empress, who had listened to the entire conversation from their seats, also noticed the factions and divisions within the Divine Realm.
The two communicated silently through their minds.
Ice Empress has always been straightforward and hot-tempered. Having just become a deity, and having previously sought divine trials without success, she hasn't adjusted her mindset and is still viewing herself from the perspective of a trial taker [How could the Sea God interfere with another deity's divine trials?].
Ice Empress might even wonder if he himself had once been able to obtain the Ice God's divine test, only to have it thwarted by the Sea God.
Although the Sea God hadn't done it, the Ice Empress couldn't help but think it; otherwise, with their Snow Empress, how could neither of them have passed the Ice God's test?
The Snow Empress is in the same boat. They have suffered greatly in the divine trials, waiting for hundreds of thousands of years without success. Now that they know there is a Sea God god who likes to interfere with the divine trials of other deities, they naturally wonder if the Sea God is behind their failure to pass the trials.
[Damn it!] A murderous intent flashed through Snow Empress's mind, followed by some regret. At this moment, Asura God was clearly protecting Sea God, and she was no match for him for the time being.
······································
The Asura God naturally couldn't accept Dongfang Yao's theory. He had just communicated with the Sea God's Divine Sense and understood the whole story, so he continued, "The Sea God only wanted to help the Angel God Trial her successor. You only recently became a god, so you probably don't know that the Sea God and the Angel God have an excellent relationship; they are friends who became gods in the same era."
"You only saw some things and didn't investigate the reasons before directly harming the Sea God. This is truly unbecoming of a god-king."
The Asura God said this, and that's what he thought too.
In his view, what the Sea God wanted to do wouldn't actually disrupt the Angel God Trial.
It's nothing for a deity to play a small joke using the power they hold.
"In that case, let the Angel God speak with the Sea God himself!"
The Asura God's pupils contracted, and he immediately realized that the Angel God examiner had already become a god.
·····································
Beyond the eternal and unchanging "sky" of the Divine Realm, a magnificent and dazzling golden pillar of light, filled with holiness and purification, once again burst forth, forcefully piercing through the barrier between the Divine Realm and the mortal realm!
The pillar of light was pure and powerful, its core containing a fervent will to cleanse God of Evil and pursue light and justice, sharper than Arthur's gentle and benevolent Goddess of Kindness power before.
The pillar of light didn't last long, but the aura of a new god it contained made many of the gods present tremble—another new god with positive attributes and great potential had been born!
As the pillar of light dissipated, a figure slowly solidified and stepped into the Divine Realm.
She was a young girl, tall and slender, with long, flowing, golden hair that moved behind her without wind, shimmering with a sacred luster.
Her appearance was perfect, as if she embodied all the world's imagination of light and beauty, but what was most striking was not her looks, but the complex temperament between her brows that blended anger with an inviolable noble dignity.
She has three pairs of dazzling golden wings on her back, and behind her is a circle of intricate and beautiful golden divine halo.
The person who arrived was none other than Qian Renxue, who had just completed the final inheritance of the Angel God!
She hardly lingered in the lower realms.
She had only two thoughts in her mind: one was to revive her grandfather Qian Daoliu, who had sacrificed himself to protect her, as soon as possible; the other was the extremely disgusting and humiliating thing that almost happened to her during the Ninth Trial!
This incident shattered all the beautiful illusions she had previously held about the existence of "gods".
Qian Renxue intensified, especially when she confirmed from the message that Dongfang Yao had sent that the mastermind behind that "disgusting scheme" was none other than Poseidon, the Sea God who had countless devout followers in the lower realm and was revered as the symbol of the ocean and its guardian.
The sacred test that their families have passed down through the Qian Clan with their lives has been defiled by such a vile intention!
This made her feel more nauseous and enraged than any direct enemy.
Therefore, the first thing she did after becoming a goddess was to rush straight to the Divine Realm, with a clear goal—to find that hypocritical Sea God, and with the Angel Holy Sword in her hand, to get to the bottom of things and seek justice!
··································
At this moment, she stepped into the temple where the highest power of the Divine Realm was gathered, her beautiful face as cold as frost, her purple eyes sweeping over the gods present.
Her gaze was sharp as a sword, carrying the brilliance of a newly arrived god and the burning rage of being offended, causing some gods with flawed minds or slightly weaker powers to subconsciously avoid her gaze.
Just then, a familiar yet somewhat annoying voice rang out. "Xiao Xue! Over here!"
Dongfang Yao's eyes lit up, and he waved vigorously at Qian Renxue without any regard for the occasion. The calm and composed demeanor of a god-king he had just displayed was long gone, and he reverted to his usual talkative and immature self.
Qian Renxue looked up upon hearing the sound and saw Dongfang Yao.
She strode forward, her golden boots clicking crisply on the polished ground. Her three pairs of wings folded slightly as she headed straight for the central area where Dongfang Yao and Arthur were.
Without glancing at the other deities, she directly asked Dongfang Yao, "Who is the Sea God?"
She was new to the place and not yet familiar with the faces of the Divine Realm.
Dongfang Yao immediately perked up and, without hesitation, pointed to the middle-aged man who, supported by the Life Goddess, still looked pale and bluish, and was currently filled with surprise and uncertainty because of Qian Renxue's sudden intrusion—it was none other than Poseidon, the Sea God.
"Look, it's that guy over there," Dongfang Yao's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone to hear, "That's the guy who looks so pathetic and is glaring at us fiercely, that's him! See, he seems a bit defiant."
Qian Renxue's gaze instantly locked onto the Sea God.
When the Sea God met that gaze, his already agitated and gloomy mind, corrupted by God of Evil, trembled violently.
In the eyes of this newly arrived angel god, he saw undisguised disgust, scrutiny, and... a chilling murderous intent as if looking at something filthy!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qian Renxue stepped forward and confronted the Sea God from afar.
"So, you're the one who's going to ruin my divine test?" Qian Renxue asked righteously, her voice firm and resolute.
··································
Can this be admitted?
Of course not.
The gods may each have their own schemes, but in such a public setting, faced with such direct accusations, who would dare to admit anything?
Even Sea God has his pride.
His face, contorted with pain, quickly contorted into an expression that mixed astonishment, grievance, and the helplessness of an elder.
His voice was filled with helplessness and sorrow. "That is not true! How could I... how could I do such a despicable thing as interfering with or disrupting your divine examination?"
