The Quickening of the Seed of Life, Destruction's Resolve
The God of Destruction stepped forward.
I carefully took her slightly cool hand in mine.
His fingertips gently caressed the back of her hand, the movement incredibly tender.
His voice was uniquely hers, a softness devoid of all coldness and authority:
"Xiao Lu, what happened? I can sense your very essence trembling violently."
"Did someone hurt you? Tell me, and I'll go crush him."
His tone was filled with undisguised, overwhelming killing intent.
In this Divine Realm, those who can harm the Goddess of Life are few and far between.
No matter who it is, anyone who dares to hurt his Xiao Lu.
Even if it meant overturning the entire Divine Realm, he would make his opponent pay a bloody price.
The Goddess of Life's clear, emerald-green eyes held an overwhelming sense of shock.
And there was that increasingly clear, almost maternal, stirring within me.
She grasped the God of Destruction's hand in return, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Tears streamed uncontrollably down my cheeks.
Each drop that fell onto the lawn beneath their feet blossomed into a vibrant Life Flower.
Her voice carried a mixture of indescribable excitement and bewilderment:
"Little Purple, I can feel it... There's a Seed of Life in the lower realm, moving in its embryonic stage."
A single sentence was uttered.
The God of Destruction's blood-red eyes suddenly narrowed.
"!!"
The killing intent emanating from him instantly spiraled out of control, erupting like a tsunami!
Even the solid Divine Realm space around them was torn apart by this terrifying killing intent, revealing fine black cracks.
The Goddess of Life is the embodiment of the universal Life Law.
Her true form is this Life Ancient Tree.
Only after her fall will the essence condense into the Seed of Life and begin to grow anew.
Apart from her, there is no other Seed of Life of the same origin that could possibly appear in this world!
His first reaction was that someone was plotting against Xiao Lu.
Someone is stealing her Life Origin, trying to condense a second Seed of Life and take her place!
Who is it?!
The voice of the God of Destruction was icy cold, filled with a furious intent to destroy the world.
"Who dares to steal your Life Origin?!"
"I'll descend to the mortal realm right now, drag him out, and utterly destroy him, leaving him utterly annihilated!"
The aura of Destruction emanating from him grew increasingly Berserk.
The space behind them had begun to collapse on a large scale.
A nine-ringed, purplish-black God King Halo slowly rose behind him.
It exuded an overwhelming pressure that suffocated the entire Divine Realm.
Seeing this, the Goddess of Life quickly and gently pressed his hand down.
I stood on tiptoe and pressed my forehead against his.
I gently infused my warm, Life Origin into his body.
Gradually, it soothed his surging Destruction Force.
The collapsed space around them was also slowly repaired under the nourishment of life.
The flowers and plants that had been Annihilation by the aura of Destruction also took root and sprouted anew, blooming new flowers.
She looked at the God of Destruction with a deep sense of reassurance in her eyes.
Her voice was soft, with a slight tremor.
"Little Purple, don't get agitated, it's not what you think."
"It did not steal my essence."
"Its origin is the same as mine, yet it does not belong to me."
Her voice grew softer and softer, carrying an indescribable tenderness.
"It is very small and fragile, like a fetus slowly awakening."
"I can feel its heartbeat, its breath, its joy, its unease."
"Like... like my child."
"Child..."
This statement directly touched upon the deepest pain they had experienced during their millions of years together.
The God of Destruction's God flickered uncertainly.
They are the two fundamental laws that diverged when the Creation God fell, and they are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.
They are recognized as the most compatible couple in the Divine Realm, having been together for billions of years, sharing a loving relationship for billions of years.
However, they are limited by their divine origin and can never have offspring of their own.
The laws of Destruction Laws and Life Law are the most ultimate and fundamental laws in the universe.
Two extremely opposing laws are fundamentally incompatible and cannot give birth to offspring.
Once they try to conceive a child.
The child will either be completely Annihilation by the Berserk Destruction Force, or burst apart by the vast Life Force.
There was absolutely no chance of survival.
Over billions of years, they have tried it before.
Once upon a time, the Goddess of Life actually conceived their child.
But in less than a thousand years, the child's soul was completely torn apart by the conflict between the two extreme laws.
That time, the Goddess of Life wept for a very long time under the Life Ancient Tree.
The God of Destruction also locked himself in the Destruction Castle, remaining in seclusion for a full 100,000 years.
From then on, he never dared to mention having children again.
He buried this deep-seated guilt deep in his heart.
He didn't even dare to mention it, afraid of hurting his wife and himself.
This is a regret they keep hidden in their hearts, a regret they don't even want to easily touch upon.
For billions of years, they have watched as other Deity in the Divine Realm, even those who are only Second-Level God, have their own offspring and enjoy the joys of family life.
But they can never have it.
The Goddess of Life has seen other Deity playing with their children on more than one occasion.
His eyes held an undisguised envy.
In an instant, the killing intent in the eyes of the God of Destruction vanished completely.
When he saw his wife's eyes redden.
The God of Destruction made his decision.
He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears that had rolled down his wife's cheeks with his fingertips.
The movements were so gentle, as if afraid of breaking the most precious treasure in the world.
He opened his arms and gently embraced his wife.
He gently patted her back, as if comforting a wronged child.
His chin rested on the top of her head, inhaling the faint, fresh scent of herbs and plants in her hair.
The voice was both gentle and firm like never before:
"Xiao Lu, don't worry."
"Whatever this Seed of Life may be, and whatever it may come from."
"I will protect anything you want."
"I'm going to the God Realm Hub right now."
"I want to see what this Seed of Life really is."
The Goddess of Life nestled in his arms, and most of the unease churning in her heart dissipated.
A lingering worry lingered in her beautiful eyes.
"But there are ironclad rules in the Divine Realm that gods cannot arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of the mortal world."
"If we rashly investigate, we might be criticized by the other Law Enforcement God, and we might even trigger the punishment left by the Creation God."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold, mocking laugh from the God of Destruction.
The overwhelming aura of God King, belonging to one of the Five Great Law Enforcement Gods of the Divine Realm, enveloped him instantly.
Even the entire Forest of Life trembled slightly.
His blood-red eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain, carrying the domineering and majestic aura of someone who controls life and death.
"Rule?"
"When the Rakshasa God secretly passed on his divine Divine Position on Douluo Planet, Sea God interfered in Douluo Planet's affairs, why didn't anyone mention the rules?"
"Even the Asura God dared to secretly tamper with his own legacy."
"Does he really think I, this Law Enforcement God, am blind?"
He gently stroked his wife's hair with his palm.
The God of Destruction's tone softened, yet it carried an unshakeable resolve.
"I used to be too lazy to bother with them, I'd just turn a blind eye and let it go."
But this time is different.
"For you, Xiao Lu, I would break a rule, or even go against the entire Divine Realm, without hesitation."
"Anyone who dares to stop me, I will destroy them!"
