The commotion in Asura Hall finally died down.
As the Five Great God Kings were leaving, God of Destruction even took the trouble to pat Asura God on the shoulder. "Old Asura, try to look on the bright side. Sure, he can't inherit your Asura Godhood, but at least he can't inherit your wife's Rakshasa Godhood either."
Asura God: Was that even something a decent person would say?
God of Destruction spoke righteously, in a tone that said "I'm only saying this for your own good." "Don't worry. I'll keep my wife in line. You can count on me."
As far as God of Destruction was concerned, there was no way his wife's godhood would end up as a bargain for Asura God's son.
Even if it rotted and got tossed into the dirt, he still wouldn't give it to him.
After all, there was no way his wife would stab him in the back, right?
"..."
Asura God's face darkened, but he said nothing.
Right now, he just wanted to smash those two "Kindness and Life" martial souls and have them reforged.
His perfectly good Asura Sword had turned into a Holy Asura Sword?
What a curse!
After all the gods had left, Asura God hurriedly called Rakshasa God and Bibi Dong to a family meeting.
As for where Chen Doudou had gone?
Let's take a look at the VCR.
Chen Doudou hurriedly called out to Goddess of Life and Goddess of Kindness, who were about to leave.
"Godmother!"
"Sister Kindness, can I take a nap with you two at noon today?"
Goddess of Life turned to look at Goddess of Kindness. Seeing that she didn't seem to mind, she covered her mouth and chuckled. "Sure."
Goddess of Kindness raised an eyebrow, smiling faintly. "Aren't you afraid your parents will get mad?"
"Nope!"
Chen Doudou wore a look of righteous resolve. "I want to get used to life as God of Kindness ahead of time."
God of Destruction's eyes widened. "Xiao Lu... how could you?"
Goddess of Life tugged at him and blinked. "Little Purple, isn't Doudou adorable? Don't you want a godson?"
She knew God of Destruction had always had it in for Chen Doudou.
But that was because of the grudges between their parents.
What did it have to do with the child?
God of Destruction: "..."
He really didn't want to agree, but his wife seemed dead set on taking Chen Doudou as her godson.
"...Fine."
He ground his teeth and gave in.
Seeing that, God of Evil immediately sidled up to Goddess of Kindness, gazing at her hopefully. "Wife, we're supposed to take a nap together."
Goddess of Kindness waved him away in distaste. "Shoo, shoo. You're a grown man. It was one thing when we were in the lower realm, but now you're a God King. Why are you still so clingy?"
"Nooo!!!"
God of Evil put on a God King-level display of acting cute right there.
Once Goddess of Life and Goddess of Kindness had led Chen Doudou away, one on each side, God of Destruction and God of Evil exchanged a look.
Like two peas in a pod, they instantly saw eye to eye.
"That kid's unbearable."
"Exactly! He's got a mother of his own, so why does he have to cling to our wives?"
"We've got to teach him a lesson."
"What do you suggest?"
"Asura's definitely sending the kid to the lower realm. He might cheat again when he does."
"So what are you saying?"
"We catch him in the act."
A cold smile curled God of Destruction's lips. "I refuse to believe he'll still dare cheat with us watching him all day."
Asura, Asura, this time you're going down at my hands!
Meanwhile.
In a secluded chamber.
Asura God gave his final instructions. "Bibi Dong, I'm leaving this mission entirely in your hands. I don't care what it takes. You must make him turn from good to evil!"
Rakshasa God added, "And you have to teach him how to swindle, cheat, and use others to kill for him, along with every other dirty trick. My son, the great Rakshasa God's son, messing around with life attributes? How is that acceptable?"
Asura God nodded repeatedly. "Right, right! You have to teach him how to kill! My son, the great Asura God's son, messing around with kindness attributes? How is that acceptable?"
Rakshasa God's eyes lit up. "And if Doudou takes a liking to some girl, just have him snatch her. If he can't, teach him how to drug her. Or lock her up in a secret room, got it?"
Bibi Dong wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
For a moment, she even wondered if this was a divine hall.
It felt more like she'd walked into the headquarters of some Evil Soul Masters.
Good grief, forget six-year-old young master Doudou.
Even if you swapped him out for an ordinary adult,
no one could handle parents like you.
"Please rest assured, my lords."
Bibi Dong took a deep breath and spoke solemnly. "I'll do everything I can to help young master Doudou turn from good to evil."
In a garden somewhere in the Divine Realm, Chen Doudou was sprawled across Goddess of Life's soft, fragrant lap, asking in a soft voice, "Godmother, when I grow up, can I be as powerful as you?"
Goddess of Life smiled and stroked his head. "Of course you can, as long as you want to."
Goddess of Kindness gave a soft snort. "But if you dare to fill your head with nothing but slaughter like your dad, I'll have Sister Life toss you over to God of Destruction."
Chen Doudou blinked, smiling with pure, harmless innocence. "I'd never do that. I want to be King of Kindness and protect everyone."
In the distance, God of Destruction and God of Evil were hiding behind a cloud, gritting their teeth.
"Did you hear that? He wants to be King of Kindness! If he dares to become King of Kindness today, tomorrow he'll dare inherit the Life Godhood!"
"If he dares to inherit the Life Godhood tomorrow, the day after he'll refuse to leave my house, and the day after that he'll claim both the Life and Kindness Godhoods!"
"Two godhoods in one, and even two God Kings? How could we allow that?"
"Exactly. We have to stop him!"
The two God Kings officially formed the "Anti-Doudou Alliance."
Poor "Hat King" Chen Doudou: ╮(︶﹏︶)╭
That afternoon, Chen Doudou was finally about to set off for the lower realm.
All Five Great God Kings had gathered to see him off.
Rakshasa God's eyes were red, and her voice choked with emotion as she hugged her son, reluctant to let go. "Doudou, when you get down there, make sure you take good care of yourself..."
Chen Doudou patted his mother's back. "Mom, I'll miss you too..."
It was such a tender, loving scene that it moved everyone to tears.
Just as the gods were starting to think that perhaps Rakshasa God was only bad on the surface, but was actually a gentle mother,
the mood changed in the very next second.
Rakshasa God's voice suddenly turned stern. "Doudou, when you see something you want down there, just take it. We Evil Gods have to be ruthless. If you want something, take it for yourself. And if you need to lie, then lie. Don't expect your conscience to put food on the table. Got it?"
Chen Doudou: "..."
No way. I'm going to become God of Kindness!
Of course, he didn't dare say any of that out loud right now. He'd wait until he got to the lower realm.
"And remember what your father told you, Doudou: kill one man and you're a criminal; kill ten thousand and you're a hero. Kill a hundred thousand, and you're the greatest hero of them all!"
Asura God stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
Nearby, Goddess of Life, Goddess of Kindness, God of Destruction, and God of Evil all stood frozen in shock.
Seriously, that's how you teach a child?
Goddess of Life finally understood why Doudou was always coming over to her house.
With parents like those two,
Anyone would.
Meanwhile.
Tang San and Xiao Wu came over, holding Tang Wutong's hand.
No, wait. She was Wang Dong now.
Chen Doudou noticed that Wang Dong seemed to be looking at him strangely.
Her clear eyes were full of curiosity, with not a trace of anything else.
It was as if there were something about him that naturally drew her in.
Tang San noticed his daughter's gaze and secretly rejoiced.
For his daughter's future, he had ultimately steeled himself and sealed away her memories.
Xiao Wu crouched down and gently reminded her, "Dong'er, when you get to the lower realm, be sure to listen to Big Uncle and Second Uncle, all right?"
"Yes, Mom."
Wang Dong nodded obediently.
"Are you ready?"
God of Destruction stepped forward, fixing his gaze on Asura God and Tang San. "Asura, Sea God, I don't care what you've done before. Once they get to the lower realm, neither of you is allowed to interfere or cheat to help them!"
"Even God Kings have to follow the rules of the Divine Realm. Got it?"
Asura God's mouth twitched. Why not just call me out by name?
Wasn't it just that I saved Tang San once last time?
And I even hurriedly took back a godhood. Doesn't that make us even?
"Yes."
Tang San lowered his head respectfully.
But in the shadows, a calculating glint flashed in his eyes.
"Good. Off you go!"
God of Destruction nodded, and once he was sure everything was in order,
he grabbed Chen Doudou and Wang Dong and shoved them straight into the plane-transmission passage.
Their destination: Douluo Continent!
