One for One—What More Did the God of Asura Want?

The God of Evil and the God of Goodness both fell silent.

They had discovered traits in Su Chen that aligned with their powers, yet God of Destruction had found this child first.

"Wasn't this child the heir chosen by Asura?" the God of Goodness asked.

"It didn't look like it. If he were someone Asura had chosen, and Destruction had suddenly interfered, Asura would have raised hell."

"And there was also the aura of the Goddess of Life."

The God of Goodness suddenly understood many things.

"Life had complained that Destruction had become much colder toward her. Clearly, Destruction wanted to use this child's mutually reinforcing and restraining Martial Souls to combine his own laws with Life's laws, thereby finding a way for the Goddess of Life to break through her shackles as well."

To be honest, the God of Goodness was somewhat envious of the Goddess of Life.

With a husband like that, what more could a wife ask for?

Yet she had even complained about God of Destruction. Now, the God of Goodness felt that God of Destruction was not worth it.

You had done so much for the Goddess of Life, yet not only gained nothing from it, but were even blamed for it. What exactly were you doing it for?

The God of Evil was somewhat puzzled.

"According to you, if God of Destruction did so much, why didn't he tell the Goddess of Life?"

"Isn't it obvious? He was most likely worried that the God of Asura would notice. Asura had conflicts with Destruction. If he found out, he might do something excessive."

As she spoke, the God of Goodness lowered her voice.

"Besides, you know the Goddess of Life. She was well-liked and easily swayed. If she learned about it in advance, the God of Asura would very likely find out as well."

The God of Evil nodded slightly.

"You have a point."

Their imaginations ran wild. If God of Destruction knew they were thinking this way, he would definitely say they were overthinking it.

Giving Su Chen the Blessing of the Goddess of Life had simply been a benefit for Su Chen.

"Ah, what a pity."

The God of Evil could not help sighing.

"This child was clearly more suited to us. He was far too different from Destruction's and Life's laws. It was truly a waste."

More importantly, God of Destruction had already taken a step forward. Even if he did nothing, there was a great chance he would naturally achieve a breakthrough.

"If only we had paid more attention to the Douluo Continent before."

"Perhaps if our two powers gathered within one person, they could produce a different kind of change, one far more apparent than the changes brought about by the two of us joining forces. Perhaps that was why Destruction had taken an interest in this child."

The two looked at each other in silence.

They had discovered the secret God of Destruction had hidden.

Yet discovering that secret made them feel worse than if it had remained concealed.

After a long while, the God of Evil suddenly said,

"Say, if we went to discuss it with Destruction, would he be willing to give this child to us?"

"Impossible."

The God of Goodness answered instinctively.

"Even if not for the sake of mastering new powers more quickly, Destruction would never compromise for the Goddess of Life alone."

In the God of Goodness's eyes, God of Destruction's love for the Goddess of Life had reached an incomparable extent.

He would never give up even the slightest chance for the Goddess of Life to break through her shackles.

The God of Evil was equally conflicted.

God of Destruction's breakthrough had shown him that God Kings could still rise to a higher level, but it also made him deeply envious.

Now, a possible opportunity lay before him, yet someone else had gotten there first.

"Hm? I found the heir of the God of Asura. He is also a child."

The God of Evil showed little interest.

He did not care who Asura's heir was. He only wanted to improve.

"No, take a look."

"Fine."

With utter boredom, the God of Evil looked toward Tang San at Notting Academy.

"Whoa, there's a transformed soul beast beside him. Was this child about to have a passionate romance between human and beast?"

The God of Evil had a rather unique focus.

"Who told you to look at that Rabbit? Look at the heir chosen by the God of Asura."

So-called soul beasts transforming into humans sounded complete, but in truth, it was merely self-deception.

Not to mention God Kings like Evil and Goodness—even a Title Douluo could see through her identity.

Not to mention that later, once Tang San's Purple Light Eye broke through, he would immediately see that she was a rabbit.

Since she was not truly human even after transforming, wanting to become a god through transformation was more or less wishful thinking.

Once he focused on Tang San, the God of Evil immediately understood why the God of Goodness had wanted him to pay attention to Tang San.

"Damn. Compared with the previous child, this heir of the God of Asura seemed even more compatible with Destruction and Life."

The Clear Sky Hammer was not extremely compatible with Destruction, but it was not completely incompatible either.

As for the Blue Silver Emperor, it was extraordinarily compatible with the path of life, infinitely more compatible than a shield.

The two exchanged another glance, countless thoughts conveyed without words.

"Say..."

They spoke at the same time.

"Do you think that if we traded this child to Destruction, he would agree?"

The God of Evil spoke first.

"Now, the question isn't whether Destruction would agree. If you used Asura's heir to make a deal with Destruction, do you think Asura would be willing?"

"This..."

The God of Evil was left speechless.

"Destruction was probably just one step too late, allowing Asura to get there first. That was why he had no choice but to settle for the other child, right?"

He looked toward where Tang San was, then toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The God of Evil felt his teeth ache.

God of Asura, why were you in such a rush to pass on your position and run away?

If you had not gotten there first, God of Destruction and the two of us would not have had to struggle like this.

"How about... we talk to the God of Asura? That child did not seem very suited to the God of Asura either. The inheritance of a divine position could not be handled carelessly."

"Do you think Asura would agree, given his personality?"

They both understood the God of Asura's personality.

Once the God of Asura had chosen this child, even if he had only a single Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul rather than Twin Martial Souls, he would not casually change his mind.

The God of Evil irritably swept his gaze across the Douluo Continent.

Since they had found two special children, perhaps there was someone even more suitable to inherit the God of Asura's position?

Then, the God of Evil really did find one.

"Wasn't that the God of Asura's heir? He had already undergone the God Trial, but the Rakshasa God had plotted against him."

The one the God of Evil found was Tang Chen in the City of Slaughter.

"And this man was even related by blood to that child. Wasn't that a coincidence?"

The God of Evil felt that the God of Asura was somewhat unfair.

For a child who had not even grown up, you could violate the rules of the God Realm and determine in advance that he was your heir.

Yet for this one, who was more suited to you and had already passed the first eight God Trials, the Rakshasa God had violated the rules and interfered with his inheritance, but you ignored it completely?

The God of Evil felt that the God of Asura was being hypocritical. This was clearly preferential treatment.

For an heir who had nearly passed the God Trial, you could clearly intervene openly and legitimately after his inheritance failed due to another god's interference.

Yet you had given up on him so cleanly and decisively, then chosen a child instead. The God of Evil found it rather baffling.

"Come on, let's return to the Castle of Destruction."

Since the God of Asura himself had acted improperly, the God of Evil felt they could be a little less particular as well.

There was no need to discuss it with the God of Asura first.

Act first and report afterward—perhaps that was the better choice.

Wasn't it simply that the inheritance of a divine position had been interfered with?

You could not personally help your heir, so we would help you preserve the fairness and justice of the God Realm. Surely you had nothing to say about that?

One for one.

The God of Evil felt it was perfectly fair.

God of Destruction would obtain a more suitable subject for his research, so he should be satisfied.

Even if he and the God of Goodness could not find an opportunity to advance further through that child, they would still gain an heir to inherit their divine positions. They would be satisfied as well.

As for the God of Asura.

We were even returning an heir to you. What more did you want?
