Tang San moved with great speed, arriving at the Forest of Life in no time at all.
He did not head toward Destruction Castle, as that place was saturated with powerful divine power of destruction and served merely as a cultivation site for the God of Destruction.
The true residence of the husband and wife was actually a lake located deep within the Forest of Life, known as the Lake of Life.
There was a wooden cabin on the water at the Lake of Life; this was the home of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction.
The sky over this forest appeared a faint green, permeated with an extremely dense aura of life.
Inside the house.
The moment Tang San stepped into the Forest of Life, the Goddess of Life opened her green eyes.
A look of confusion appeared on her face as she said to the purple figure beside her, "Xiao Zi, it seems the Sea God is heading this way."
Hearing this, the God of Destruction let out a cold snort, "Is he here to plead with me on behalf of that Fart God? It is already too late."
Ever since Tang San ascended to the God Realm, he had never once taken the initiative to seek him out.
That God of Fire had visited quite often, though he always made sure to come whenever he was in seclusion.
"The Sea God has arrived."
As the Goddess of Life finished speaking, Tang San pushed open the door to the wooden cabin.
The God of Destruction immediately retorted with sarcasm, "I wondered who it might be. So, it is the 'pure and noble' Sea God who has come."
The term "pure and noble" was the persona Tang San had established for himself in the God Realm.
There were quite a few who believed it, but the God of Destruction was clearly not among them.
He knew Tang San's true character all too well.
Back then, the previous generation's God of Fire was the first to descend his inheritance onto the Douluo Continent.
Following that, the Sea God, the Asura God, the God of War... all followed suit, each finding their own successor on the Douluo Continent.
A single lower plane had actually birthed so many geniuses, attracting one God King, two Main Gods, and numerous second-tier gods to descend their divine trials.
And that was not even counting the Rakshasa God and Angel God who had fallen ten thousand years ago...
These things were far too abnormal; it would have been difficult for the God of Destruction not to notice.
Originally, he had been happy to see this, as fresh blood in the God Realm was a good thing.
As it turned out, aside from the God of Fire's successor who was always slacking off... the other god-successors had actually started a civil war on the Douluo Continent!
They completely disregarded the rule that gods must not interfere with the lower realms.
In the end, they turned such a fine plane into a land of carnage.
Especially this hypocrite, Tang San! He had even cast aside his dignity just to win!
He had actually allowed a certain poison-attribute Titled Douluo to massacre a city! How many innocent lives had been lost because of that?
He had even orchestrated a battle of two gods against two gods!
The God of Destruction had seen all of this clearly from the God Realm...
If it weren't for the powerful old Asura, who had brandished that Asura Divine Sword and forced him not to intervene, he would have long since sent down a Divine Thunder of Annihilation to give Tang San a proper thrashing.
Seeing the God of Destruction strike first, Tang San did not hold back, hitting him right where he was most vulnerable:
"I cannot compare to you, Destruction. Living in such a tranquil place as the Forest of Life, you do not have to endure the noise of children."
The face beneath the God of Destruction's cloak changed, turning exceptionally cold.
Who in the entire God Realm did not know that he and the Goddess of Life were unable to have children?
If someone else had said this, he might not have cared, as new children were extremely rare in the God Realm.
But coming from Tang San, who had children of his own, the implication was entirely different!
The Goddess of Life felt the same, though her expression differed slightly from the God of Destruction's; she seemed to be contemplating something.
The God of Destruction was just about to lash out, but catching a glimpse of the Goddess of Life, he forcibly suppressed the rage in his heart.
"Sea God, regardless of why you have come, you may leave now."
Seeing the God of Destruction thwarted, Tang San felt a secret thrill.
He then looked at the God of Destruction provocatively: "The Forest of Life is the Goddess of Life's territory; your Destruction Castle is over there."
"Sea God... you!"
The God of Destruction had never been eloquent, and he had no chance of winning a verbal spar against Tang San.
Furthermore, everything within the Forest of Life was under Xiao Lv's control.
It could be said that this was Xiao Lv's home.
If he were to truly start a fight with the Sea God, he would only end up making Xiao Lv homeless.
And where would Xiao Lv live then?
That was a difficult question to answer...
The Goddess of Life understood what Tang San meant. If he wasn't here to find Xiao Zi, then he must be here for her.
Was there somewhere in the God Realm where the Sea God needed her help?
The Goddess of Life was incredibly kind-hearted. As long as there was a god or life in the God Realm in need of her assistance, and as long as she wasn't stopped by the God of Destruction, she would extend a helping hand without hesitation.
It was just like the time with the God of Fire; Xiao Zi happened to be in seclusion back then, and as she kept reaching out to help, she found her hand resting on...
However, before she could even speak, the cold, sharp voice of the God of Destruction rang out again. He clearly had no intention of admitting defeat:
"You don't need to plead with Xiao Lv. I have already dispatched numerous Celestial Hunters and Divine Officials to the lower realm to hunt down the Fart God. I swear to bring him back to the God Realm and subject him to the ultimate punishment!"
He still assumed that Tang San had come to the Goddess of Life to beg for mercy on behalf of the Fart God.
After all, in the God Realm, who didn't know that a mere third-rank Fart God spent his days lecturing the Sea God, a King of Gods?
As a King of Gods himself, the God of Destruction projected his own perspective; he would never allow someone weaker than himself to dance on his head.
Except for the Goddess of Life...
Yet, the Sea God could endure even this, and even provided cover for him in the lower realm. This was enough to prove that the bond between them was not as pathetic as the rumors suggested.
At the very least, it was a case of a benevolent master and a respectful disciple.
The God of Destruction was very clever, and he figured this out in an instant.
The God of Destruction was already prepared; the moment Tang San pleaded with the Goddess of Life, he would immediately humiliate him severely.
However... Tang San's reaction left the God of Destruction completely baffled.
What had he just seen?
Tang San seemed to be smiling?
It wasn't a cold sneer, but a smile that looked like he had finally been unburdened.
Tang San also realized something was wrong and immediately recalled every heartbreaking event in his life to suppress the smile.
What was going on today?
First, his law enforcement authority had been stripped away by Destruction.
He was furious...
Then, the God of Fire in the lower realm had perfectly executed the ten-thousand-year plan ahead of schedule, causing the luck of the Child of Destiny to flow toward himself and the Tang Sect.
The anger vanished...
Then, Xiao Wu was pregnant, and it was a boy...
It turned into joy...
And now... Destruction had sent him another grand gift.
Was this what they called "after bitterness comes sweetness"?
So, what was he supposed to do now?
Should he look up to the sky and laugh, or should his eyes turn blood-red?
He couldn't tell!
He really couldn't tell!
"Destruction, you have already invited your own death." With no other choice, Tang San could only perfunctorily utter this famous maxim.
This was the first time he had said these words with such indifference.
In the past, whenever this seven-character mantra left his lips, his body would always involuntarily exhibit certain symptoms.
For instance, the familiar ones: eyes turning blood-red, breathing like an ox.
The God of Destruction finally felt satisfied. This was the flavor he needed to feel even a tiny bit of accomplishment.
"Life, I would like to ask you to take a look at my Xiao Wu; she is pregnant again."
Tang San did not focus solely on provoking the God of Destruction; in his heart, Xiao Wu and the boy in her womb were far more important than any of this.
"Xiao Wu is pregnant again!" The voice of the Goddess of Life was filled with pleasant surprise.
Tang Wutong was the seventh child born in the God Realm, which was why her nickname was Xiao Qi.
Then the next one would be... Xiao Ba... No, that was too tacky.
Perhaps he should call him...
Lao Ba!
"Hmph, congratulations, Sea God."
For once, the God of Destruction did not pick a fight with Tang San, though his voice was laced with jealousy: "Congratulations on becoming a father again."
