Life, Sea God, Just You Wait-I Won't Let You Off Easily!

God of Destruction fell silent.

Angel God was right.

The God Realm did indeed have such a rule: gods were not allowed to descend to the mortal realm at will, much less directly interfere in mortal affairs.

Although this rule was not enforced particularly strictly in ordinary times, and God Kings occasionally sneaked down to the mortal realm.

As long as they were not caught or personally witnessed, the other God Kings would usually turn a blind eye.

Of course, the most important thing was that even if they were discovered, there was nothing to worry about.

Because no god in their right mind would ever report a God King.

A God King was still a God King. His strength and status were there for all to see, so there would certainly be no real consequences for him.

But the person who reported him would be different.

They would be targeted by the God King until they died.

But things were different now.

Goddess of Life was watching him.

If he dared descend to the mortal realm without authorization to deal with that child, Goddess of Life would certainly seize the opportunity to report him to the God Realm Committee.

When that happened, even as a God King, he would not escape punishment.

Moreover, Evil God King and Goddess of Goodness had always been close to Goddess of Life.

Asura God was a fence-sitter who supported whoever had the stronger case.

If this truly went before the God Realm Committee, he feared he would gain no advantage.

"What exactly do you want?"

Thinking of this, God of Destruction grew somewhat impatient. He hated this feeling of beating around the bush.

Angel God smiled faintly, a trace of cunning in her smile. "Of course I came to help you, God of Destruction."

"Help me?"

God of Destruction narrowed his eyes. "How are you going to help me?"

"By naturally killing that child in the mortal realm."

Angel God spoke casually, as if she were discussing what to eat that evening. "You should know that Sea God is not the only one with a place of inheritance in the mortal realm. I have one as well, and mine is even stronger than his. My Spirit Hall has operated on Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years, with influence spread throughout the continent. If I wish to, I can easily find that child, and then..."

She raised her hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.

God of Destruction stared at her in silence for a moment before slowly speaking. "What do you want?"

There was no such thing as a free lunch.

Since Angel God was willing to help him, she surely wanted something in return.

Angel God smiled without concealing it. "Very simple. I help you eliminate that child, and you help me find a chance to kill Sea God."

A trace of surprise flashed through God of Destruction's eyes. "Kill Sea God? Why?"

"Ten thousand years ago, when he was still on Douluo Continent, he was already competing with me for the continent's power of destiny."

Angel God did not hide anything as she answered, "That resulted in the continent's destiny being split in two. I governed the continent, while he governed the sea. Once Sea God dies, that power of destiny will naturally fall into my hands. With its help, I might naturally break through and become a God King."

"You want to become the sixth God King?"

God of Destruction narrowed his eyes, his expression turning grave.

This was no simple matter.

It might seem as though it was merely the addition of one more God King, but far too much was involved.

For example, the redistribution of authority and resources.

Goddess of Life and Goddess of Goodness might not care, since neither of them had a personality inclined toward fighting for such things.

But Asura God and Evil God King would definitely not agree so easily.

Because it affected their interests.

"Why not?"

Angel God asked in return, ambition gleaming in her eyes. "I also ascended from Douluo Continent. My talent is no worse than anyone else's. What I lack is merely an opportunity, a chance to ascend to the position of God King. As long as you are willing to help me, once I become a God King, we can join forces. The entire God Realm will answer to us."

God of Destruction fell silent.

He stared at Angel God for a long time, complex emotions churning in those violet-black eyes.

At last, he slowly spoke, his voice cold and resolute:

"Fine. I agree."

He had only agreed; he had not said he would accomplish it by any particular time.

Once he achieved his own goal, Angel God would naturally be useless to him.

When the time came, he could simply keep dragging things out.

After all, there was no written agreement between them.

A satisfied smile appeared on Angel God's face as she gave a slight bow. "Then may our cooperation be pleasant."

"A pleasant cooperation."

God of Destruction said coldly, "However, I need to remind you of one thing."

"Please, go ahead."

"That child must die."

God of Destruction enunciated every word. "And I want to see his corpse with my own eyes."

Angel God nodded with a smile. "Rest assured, I will satisfy you."

With that, she turned and walked out of Destruction Palace with elegant steps.

The palace doors slowly closed behind her, leaving God of Destruction alone in the devastated hall.

God of Destruction stood where he was, looking at the fragments scattered across the floor as a vicious glint flashed through his eyes.

"Life... Sea God..."

He muttered in a voice brimming with killing intent, "Just you wait... I won't let you off easily..."

Dark violet destruction aura surged once more, shrouding the entire palace in shadow.

Elsewhere, after Angel God left Destruction Palace, the smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a cold calmness.

She raised her head and looked toward the azure mortal realm below, a meaningful smile curling at her lips.

"Li Changqing... Goddess of Life's son?"

She murmured softly, "Interesting... truly interesting..."

After speaking, she narrowed her beautiful eyes. A faint black gleam flashed through her originally golden pupils.

The following morning, Sea God Island.

The sky had only just begun to brighten, and a pale strip of white appeared along the eastern horizon.

The faint morning light spilled across the sea, making the waves glitter like scattered gold.

The sea breeze was gentle, carrying a salty, damp scent as it brushed through the lush trees of Sea God Island, producing a soft rustling.

At the dock, seven figures stood straight and tall.

They were the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo of Sea God Island, the strongest force on the island beneath High Priest Bo Saixi.

Every one of them was a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, each guarding one of Sea God Island's seven sacred pillars and protecting the trial path of Sea God's inheritance.

Normally, they each guarded their own territory and rarely appeared together.

But today, they had gathered together for the first time in ages.

Because they had all received a message.

High Priest Bo Saixi was leaving Sea God Island.

At that moment, the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo stood around the dock, staring at the enormous ship before them in deep thought.

It was a massive seafaring vessel roughly fifty meters long, built entirely from deep-sea ironwood and glimmering with a faint blue sheen beneath the morning light.

Its sails had already been raised, snapping loudly in the sea wind as though urging people to board and set sail.

"What do you think is going on?"

Seahorse Douluo was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

He was a burly middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue robe. Puzzled, he asked, "Why did Lady Bo Saixi suddenly decide to leave Sea God Island and head for the continent?"

After receiving this message last night, they had been so shocked that none of them had slept all night.
