Blessing of the Goddess of Life

"Go on, then," the God of Destruction urged.

"I wonder if you've heard another saying: learn your enemy's strengths to defeat them."

The God of Destruction's hesitant voice rang out.

"You want me to imitate that mortal enemy of mine?"

"How could that be called imitation? It clearly shows that you are broad-minded, unconcerned with empty reputation, and doing everything for the God Realm."

"That's right. It's all for the God Realm."

The God of Destruction's voice became much more spirited.

Figuring things out on his own truly could not compare to following a precedent. Besides, Tang San had not even become a god yet, so how could it be said that he was copying him?

Very good.

In such a short time, the God of Destruction's skin had already grown considerably thicker.

However, some of Tang San's methods did not suit him—for example, finding a Rabbit wife to serve as a Scabbard.

Suddenly, an idea struck the God of Destruction.

He did not need a Scabbard. Perhaps he could find Su Chen a few holsters.

There was no reason Tang San could break precedent while he could not arrange the same for Su Chen.

It was all about learning the enemy's strengths to defeat them. Such experience could not go to waste.

"All right, cultivate on your own for now. I'll go find something to strengthen your physique."

After today's exchange, both Su Chen and the God of Destruction had gained something.

Once the God of Destruction went offline, Su Chen rested for quite a while before he barely managed to climb up from the ground.

Staggering toward home, Su Chen felt as though his legs had been filled with lead.

"The first form's essence consumed so much, and I only displayed a tiny fraction of it."

Su Chen decided that, before the God of Destruction found something good to strengthen his physique—or before his body and Soul Power improved sufficiently—he had better not use that move again.

After returning to his room, Su Chen fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, in the God Realm, the Destruction God King began his first practical attempt.

The subject he chose for this experiment was his own wife—the Goddess of Life.

Naturally, the God of Destruction did not want to befriend his wife. He wanted to obtain some blessings from the Goddess of Life.

The Blessing of the Goddess of Life was an exceptional item for enhancing vitality.

The God of Destruction had originally not wanted much contact with the Goddess of Life, and he had planned to obtain something to strengthen Su Chen's physique from elsewhere.

But now that his way of thinking had changed drastically, the God of Destruction felt that his previous approach had been wrong.

In his previous life, the God of Destruction believed that the Goddess of Life had betrayed him, so after being reborn, he deliberately kept his distance from her.

Wasn't that simply pushing her directly to the opposing side?

Learn the enemy's strengths to defeat them. Look at Tang San's Rabbit wife—she was basically a female slave.

It was one thing for her to be Tang San's Scabbard by nature, but she did not even possess thoughts of her own. All day long, she only knew how to say, "Brother, brother, brother." She was completely dependent on him.

The God of Destruction had neither the confidence nor the ability to turn the Goddess of Life into a female slave like Xiao Wu.

It was already good enough that the Goddess of Life had not brainwashed him or made him trust Tang San without reason like an idiot.

The God of Destruction only wanted to play along and get some benefits for Su Chen.

At the same time, he wanted to maintain a superficial relationship with the Goddess of Life so it would not completely fall apart.

"Little Purple, you're here. Hm?"

Seeing the God of Destruction arrive, the Goddess of Life smiled and used their pet name for each other.

But she immediately sensed that something was off.

"Little Purple, why do I feel like you seem a little different?"

The God of Destruction remained expressionless. His acting was truly ordinary, the kind of aloof idol acting.

Fortunately, he usually acted like this anyway, so it did not arouse suspicion.

Hearing that familiar pet name and looking at the wife who had accompanied him through countless ages, the God of Destruction felt as though a lifetime had passed.

No, a lifetime really had passed. It had been an entire life.

"Xiao Lu, I've gained new insights into the Path of Destruction. Perhaps that is the source of the difference you sensed."

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life had accompanied each other for countless ages and knew one another well.

The Goddess of Life could quickly notice changes in the God of Destruction.

And the God of Destruction was not lying.

After being reborn and experiencing the final ending of his previous life, in which everything headed toward Destruction, the God of Destruction truly had gained new insights into the Path of Destruction.

"Then I should congratulate you. You're still as diligent as ever. I'm afraid you may have already pulled ahead of me."

The Goddess of Life smiled as she congratulated him.

The God of Destruction could tell that the happiness the Goddess of Life displayed at that moment came entirely from the heart.

The God of Destruction was somewhat moved.

After relying on and accompanying each other for so many ages, it was impossible for them to have no feelings for each other.

Before Tang San entered the God Realm, before he and Tang San developed their differences, his relationship with the Goddess of Life had always been very intimate.

Moreover, even at the very end, the Goddess of Life had walked toward death alongside him.

Yet none of that could mend the crack that already existed in the God of Destruction's heart.

That crack had formed when he fought Tang San and the Goddess of Life did not stand by his side.

Although the current Goddess of Life did not yet know it, in the God of Destruction's heart, she had already done it once.

No, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

The God of Destruction hurriedly said, "Can you give me one of your blessings?"

"Hm? Is your Destruction Intent becoming uncontrollable again?"

The Goddess of Life stared into the God of Destruction's eyes for quite a while.

"No. Didn't I say so? I've gained a new understanding of the Path of Destruction. Your blessing may help me deepen my understanding of rebirth after Destruction."

The God of Destruction felt somewhat uncomfortable.

When the Goddess of Life blessed Tang San and Xiao Wu's child, she had not hesitated in the slightest.

Why did she have to scrutinize him first when it came to him?

"So that's how it is. I thought your Destruction Intent had grown stronger again."

The Goddess of Life breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to the God of Destruction.

The God of Destruction said, "Just place the blessing on my hand. I want to contemplate it first."

Once was unfamiliar, twice was routine. The God of Destruction was becoming increasingly skilled at lying and making excuses.

In that respect, he had already become a mature man.

"All right. However you want it."

The Goddess of Life lowered her head and gently kissed the God of Destruction's palm.

"Is that enough?"

"Thank you."

The God of Destruction's feelings were complicated.

How he wished their relationship could remain as it had before Tang San entered the God Realm.

Unfortunately, spilled water could not be gathered again, and a broken mirror could not be made whole. No matter what, they could never return to the past.

"What kind of relationship do we have? Do you need to thank me for something so trivial?"

The Goddess of Life shot the God of Destruction a reproachful glance.

"Then give me some Water of Life as well."

The God of Destruction felt a little awkward. This intimacy, which had once been so familiar, now felt utterly strange to him.

While changing the subject, he did not forget to take more while he was at it and ask for some Water of Life.

"We've been husband and wife for so many years, yet you're still shy."

The Goddess of Life mistook the God of Destruction's awkwardness for embarrassment and immediately laughed.

"How much Water of Life do you need?"

"A cup will be enough. More would be useless."

"Hmph. So many first- and second-level gods would beg for my Water of Life, yet in your mouth, it becomes something useless in excess."

Though the Goddess of Life complained, she handed the God of Destruction a cup of Water of Life.

"I'll be leaving first. You've consumed quite a bit of divine power, so cultivate and recover it as soon as possible."

With the goods in hand, the God of Destruction—gradually moving toward the path of a scumbag—immediately prepared to flee.

"You really are something. You leave the moment you get what you came for."

Watching the God of Destruction's departing back, the Goddess of Life shook her head helplessly.
