Backed into a Corner

Tang San's face was extremely pale.

All signs indicate that Ning Que is the real culprit and the most troublesome one.

He realized that both Huo Yuhao and the Angel God so far revolved around this guy in front of him.

Although the being named Electrolux is a problem, he is not a deity from the Divine Realm and has many limitations. While he is troublesome, he is not particularly difficult to deal with.

But Ning Que in front of him truly made Tang San feel a vague unease.

He hadn't even done anything yet, and he had already ruined his own plans.

If he really did something, that would be terrible.

In a fleeting moment, Tang San felt a murderous intent.

Unlike his previous attempt to kill Huo Yuhao, his attack on Huo Yuhao, aimed at killing him, was driven more by anger and a desire to intimidate him.

But Ning Que, standing before him, genuinely wanted to deal with him from the bottom of his heart.

I want to kill it.

He won't have a clear conscience if he doesn't die.

"But..."

In the end, it all boils down to this: if you can't do it right now, it's not appropriate.

The position of the Asura God King, while granting him convenience and authority, also brought him constraints.

Without absolute power, he must be bound by the rules, because he is both the controller and the beneficiary of the rules.

If he were to break the rules at this point, the losses he would suffer would be unimaginable.

"Now that the Angel God has returned to his position, the power of faith on the continent rightfully belongs to you, but the power of faith in the sea is the territory of the Sea God, and it is best not to covet it."

With just one meeting, Tang San already knew that Ning Que was extremely difficult to deal with.

Having come here without getting what they wanted, they'll dig a pit for the other party here, so that when the time comes, they'll have a legitimate reason to take action, and even the God Realm Committee won't be able to say anything.

"Lord Sea God, what are you saying?"

"Why can't I understand?"

"Who believers worship is their own business; what does it have to do with me?"

"Moreover, since you already consider yourself the Sea God, why do you still occupy one of the Five Great God Kings ' seats while holding the position of the Asura God King, and wield power that is not in accordance with the rules?"

"Who... exactly are you, God?"

"How come all the good things happen to you? We can't have it all."

Sensing Tang San's intentions, Ning Que simply smiled indifferently. Using such clumsy methods to dig a hole for himself was far too low-level.

Are there things that the gods in the Divine Realm truly do not complain about?

They do have it, but because of the divine position of the God King, they cannot say it.

Perhaps they had some reservations, but Ning Que did not.

From the moment he quietly ascended to godhood to the moment he plotted to seize the positions of Rakshasa God and Angel God, he was destined to stand on the opposite side of Tang San.

Unless Tang San is exceptionally magnanimous, doesn't hold it against him, and even helps him.

But how could such a thing be possible?

After all, this involves faith, and the very foundation of Tang San's divine status; how could he possibly back down?

Upon hearing Ning Que's words, Tang San's expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.

Pointing out this matter so bluntly will bring you a lot of trouble.

The problem is, if you want to maintain your public image, you'll have to explain yourself.

"The divine position was passed down to me by the Old Asura God King. I know I am unworthy of this inheritance, but it is, after all, the Old Asura God King's expectation. I have no right to decide his fate, so I can only serve the Divine Realm better and harder to live up to the Old Asura God King's high regard."

Tang San began to defend himself.

Hearing Tang San say this, still maintaining his persona at this moment, Ning Que laughed.

What he wanted was an explanation, for Tang San to prove himself.

If Tang San ignores the situation and doesn't prove himself, even if some people have objections, the gods won't say much until someone with absolute strength stands up.

But Tang San chose to defend himself and prove his innocence, which is perfectly fine.

In this way, all attention will be focused on Tang San's self-justification and defense. No matter how eloquently he speaks, if it doesn't conform to the rules, it doesn't conform to the rules.

His self-justification is bound to be full of loopholes.

"Oh, so it's the Old Asura God King's high regard and expectations..."

"In other words, you weren't doing this voluntarily; you were forced into it."

"If that's the case, it's easy to solve. Just summon the divine position and let the Divine Realm fairly choose a successor."

"Or, if you don't want to disappoint the Old Asura God King, you can leave behind the Asura God King's divine position and pass it on to the Sea God as well. Don't say that the Old Sea God still has any expectations for you."

"Also, you say you're trying to do something for someone, but what have you actually done?"

"No, you haven't done anything, yet you wield so much power and sit in that position. Do you think that's reasonable?"

"I heard that you tried twice to pass on your divine position, but each time you failed due to one accident or another."

"What a coincidence!"

"The problem is, those who refused your divine position have all become deities in the Divine Realm, using the resources of the Divine Realm to do favors for themselves. Is this the attitude of law enforcers?"

"..."

Ning Que didn't give Tang San a chance to explain at all, and immediately launched into a barrage of questions and inquiries.

"You..."

Hearing these words, Tang San's expression grew increasingly grim.

He was a fairly intelligent person; how could he not know what was going on, how could he not know the principle that it is not scarcity but inequality that is to be feared?

This is also the main reason why he started establishing his persona as soon as he arrived in the Divine Realm.

Its most crucial purpose is to divert attention in a timely manner, making other gods focus their attention on themselves, rather than on their divine duties and authority.

But today, Ning Que has shattered all of this.

Tang San knew things were in trouble.

The trouble is beyond my expectations.

If you do something excessive, a deity will immediately come out to target you.

After all, profits are ultimately limited, so who wouldn't want a larger share?

Many deities seem to have given up and become indifferent to worldly affairs. Is it really because they have long lives that they no longer want to fight for anything?

That's undeniable.

The hierarchy in the Divine Realm is even more rigid than in the lower planes, offering almost no opportunities for advancement or progress.

Therefore, the illusion of stalling was created.

If you don't believe me, go ask those Second-Level God and First-Level God. Give them the position of God King, and as long as they work hard and strive, they can obtain it.

Let's see what they choose.

"You're absolutely right, that is indeed a problem. I will convene the God Realm Committee in a while to discuss this matter and give all the gods an explanation."
