God Realm, Destruction Palace.

This had once been one of the most awe-inspiring places in the God Realm.

The entire palace was built from dark purple crystals, radiating a cold, eerie glow.

Destruction lightning lingered around the palace year-round, as though even time and space were twisted and warped here.

Yet at this moment, this solemn palace was a complete mess.

"Boom—"

A long table made from ten-thousand-year purple sandalwood was overturned, slammed into the wall, and shattered into several pieces.

"Crack—"

An exquisite glazed sculpture was smashed apart with a punch. Fragments scattered everywhere, reflecting shattered light beneath the candlelight.

"Bang—"

A massive hole appeared in the wall. Rubble lay strewn across the floor, while smoke and dust filled the air.

The God of Destruction stood in the center of the main hall, his chest heaving violently.

His purple-black hair whipped through the turbulent air, and his eyes were bloodshot, as though flames might burst from them at any moment.

The aura of destruction around him was like boiling magma, continuously spreading outward and corroding, crushing everything around it.

Who in the entire God Realm did not know that the Goddess of Life was his woman, the one he cared about most?

Though they had never formally held a ceremony, they had long been recognized as a couple throughout the God Realm.

The God of Destruction might have had a violent temper, but his feelings for the Goddess of Life had always been sincere.

But now?

Not only had the Goddess of Life borne someone else's child, she had hidden that child for six years!

Six years!

A full six years!

He had been kept in the dark, knowing nothing like a fool!

And when he confronted her today, not only had the Goddess of Life refused to explain herself, she had humiliated him before the entire God Realm!

"Aaaah—"

The God of Destruction threw back his head and roared. A terrifying force of destruction erupted from his body, blasting away half the ceiling of the great hall.

Dark purple lightning danced wildly across the sky, as though the apocalypse had arrived.

He could not accept it.

He truly could not accept it.

He, the God of Destruction, one of the five great God Kings of the God Realm and the one who controlled the authority of destruction and endings, had actually been cuckolded!

And that person was very likely the Sea God, a mere first-class deity!

How could he possibly accept that?

How could he remain calm?

"Sea God... Life..."

The God of Destruction gritted his teeth, every word seeming to squeeze through the gaps between them. "You two... very good... very good indeed!"

Just then, a respectful voice came from outside the palace:

"Destruction God King, the Angel God requests an audience."

The God of Destruction abruptly raised his head, and a trace of clarity flashed through his blood-red eyes.

He took several deep breaths and tried to suppress the rage in his heart. The aura of destruction around him slowly receded.

Though flames still burned in his eyes and the rise and fall of his chest showed that his emotions were far from settled.

He was still a God King, after all. He retained at least the most basic level of reason.

"Come in," he said coldly, his voice hoarse and low.

The palace doors slowly opened, and a graceful golden figure entered from outside.

The Angel God, Qian Yuhan, wore a pale gold gown today.

Her golden hair cascaded to her waist like a waterfall, and a perfectly measured smile rested on her delicate face.

She walked to the center of the hall and looked at the wreckage covering the floor. There was not the slightest surprise in her eyes, as though she had expected this all along.

She gave a slight bow. "Greetings, Destruction God King."

The God of Destruction was in the middle of a rage and naturally had no desire to listen to any nonsense.

He looked coldly at the Angel God and got straight to the point. "Cut the nonsense. Angel, why have you come to see me?"

The Angel God smiled faintly, her smile carrying a hint of deeper meaning. "I discovered something that may be important to you."

The God of Destruction frowned slightly. "What is it?"

The Angel God spoke softly, every word reaching the God of Destruction's ears with perfect clarity. "It concerns the Goddess of Life's child."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the rage the God of Destruction had just suppressed surged up again.

The aura of destruction around him began to stir once more, and killing intent blazed in his eyes.

Yet he still forcibly restrained his anger and squeezed out a single word through clenched teeth:

"Speak!"

The Angel God seemed to enjoy seeing the God of Destruction in such a furious state.

Unhurriedly, she walked to the side and sat on a chair that was still mostly intact. Crossing her legs, she finally spoke slowly. "That child was sent by the Goddess of Life to the mortal world—to Sea God Island on Douluo Continent."

"Sea God Island?"

The God of Destruction narrowed his eyes. "How do you know?"

The Angel God chuckled and asked in return, "Have you forgotten? Like the Sea God, I ascended from Douluo Continent. I also have a place of inheritance there, and my Spirit Hall has operated on Douluo Continent for more than ten thousand years. Our eyes and ears are spread across the land. Is it not normal that I would know?"

Normal, my ass.

Sea God Island was the Sea God's place of inheritance, and the person behind this was the Goddess of Life, one of the five great God Kings.

But the God of Destruction, consumed by rage, could not possibly think that far.

Thus, after hearing this, his expression became terrifyingly gloomy.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking loudly.

Sea God Island...

The Sea God's territory...

That child had been sent to the Sea God's territory...

What did that mean?

It meant that child truly had something to do with the Sea God!

"So..."

The God of Destruction's voice was cold as frost as he gritted his teeth. "That child truly belongs to the Sea God and Life? Afraid that I would harm their child, they threw it into the lower realm to prevent that possibility?"

The Angel God smiled, amusement flickering in her expression. "I do not know whether that child belongs to them. But I do know that the child now has not only the Goddess of Life behind them, but also the Sea God. The two of them have joined forces to protect the child tightly."

The God of Destruction sneered, his eyes full of disdain. "So what? With just Life and that useless Sea God, how could they possibly be my match?"

He was telling the truth.

As a God King, he had more than enough confidence to say such things.

Though the Goddess of Life was also a God King, if they truly fought, the outcome would be difficult to predict.

As for the Sea God, he was merely a first-class deity. Before him, he was not worth mentioning.

Yet the Angel God shook her head, a helpless smile appearing on her face. "Under normal circumstances, that would indeed be the case. But have you forgotten something important?"

The God of Destruction frowned. "What?"

"That child has now gone to the mortal world."

The Angel God rose to her feet and walked before the God of Destruction. Looking directly into his eyes, she reminded him, "You may be a God King, but you are not the only God King in the God Realm. You should know that the God Realm has rules. Deities are not allowed to descend to the lower realm or interfere in mortal affairs, not even God Kings. Under ordinary circumstances, it might be overlooked if a God King secretly descended or interfered with certain matters, but things are different now. While you are watching the Goddess of Life, the Goddess of Life is also watching you."
