The God of Destruction's Conspiracy

After returning to his Destruction Mansion with his three subordinates, the God of Destruction slammed his palm onto the table, shattering it with his Soul Power, his expression filled with intense fury.

"You lot are supposed to be the most capable under this Seat, so why are you inferior even to a Dragon God who lacks a heart? Lin Yi is merely a first-tier god. Even if his power can suddenly transcend his own limits, if you had given your all and denied him any opportunity from the very beginning, this Seat believes you would not have suffered such a crushing defeat."

"Please calm your anger, Lord Destruction."

The three gods instantly knelt on the ground, speaking with a sense of trepidation.

"That man is indeed incredibly cunning. Although we are high-tier gods, it is difficult to contend with him, simply because his power is too concentrated."

"That is no excuse for your failure."

The God of Destruction struck out at the three gods, slowly walking toward them as he did so.

"This Seat knows that you have been wavering lately between destroying the world or protecting it. But you must understand, without destruction, there is no existence. If those with ulterior motives are allowed to continue passing down goodness, then what need is there for you gods to exist?"

"But for someone like me, the God of Extreme Evil, my successor must also be a villain. Will this not cause some..."

"What does that have to do with us?"

The God of Destruction gave a cold laugh, his gaze turning significantly more frigid.

"This Seat only knows how to conform to the laws of heaven. Existence and destruction are merely choices made between people. You must realize that ordinary humans have no idea who the gods in this world truly exist for; they are merely pedantic, wishing to borrow our divine power to fulfill their own desires."

"But the Sea God is not guilty of heinous crimes."

The God of Illusion, having slowly recovered through the power of the Destruction Mansion, flashed a look of concern in his eyes.

"If we rashly execute the Sea God Pavilion, I fear it will incite other gods to attack us in unison, especially the God of Goodness and the Goddess of Life."

"The Goddess of Life is my wife; she will have no objections."

On this point, the God of Destruction remained quite confident.

"You, however, need to properly manage your own situation. God of Illusion, this Seat has heard that your wife, the God of Beauty, reveres all things beautiful. If that is the case, she is our greatest enemy."

"She is not our enemy."

The God of Illusion looked at the God of Destruction nervously once more, a hint of resolve in his eyes.

"If you insist on counting her as our opponent, I can no longer assist you."

Watching him turn and leave, the God of Destruction's gaze grew even colder. "Go then. I don't care if there is one more or one less."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze toward the God of Extreme Evil and the God of Evil.

"You two should not betray this Seat, so from today on, you shall be the ones this Seat trusts most. I hope you can set an example!"

Tang Wutong was also intensifying her search for gods willing to oppose the God of Destruction.

Thus far, besides Tang San and Xiao Wu, Lin Yi's Dragon God power was the strongest, so Yu Xiaogang decided to conduct a special training session for Lin Yi within three days.

"A joint confrontation match?"

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised after hearing what Yu Xiaogang had to say.

"Master, I know that the duels in the Soul Fighting Arena can improve one's strength, but in the God Realm, a war between gods would likely turn the entire realm upside down."

"Yes, but that is not necessarily always the case."

Yu Xiaogang smiled calmly, reaching out to pat Lin Yi on the shoulder.

"Kid, you must remember that Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness is sufficient to serve as a battleground for unrestrained dueling. And we shall conduct three confrontations within it. First, starting with those of greater ability, you will face Tang San and Xiao Wu, along with Bibi Dong and Er Long. Second, you will face Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao, as well as the God of Goodness and the God of Beauty. As for the third match, pass these first two trials, and I shall announce it then."

"Damn, starting off this intense?"

Lin Yi had sparred with Bibi Dong and knew that her twin Martial Souls were practically a natural counter to his Dragon God power. Although he now possessed three Martial Souls, he was not certain he could win if they truly fought.

Coupled with the fact that Tang San was the most powerful of all previous Sea Gods, he felt even more restless at heart.

Coughing slightly, Lin Yi thought about stalling for a moment, but Yu Xiaogang saw right through his intentions.

"Lin Yi, you know your power is not limited to this level. Although your Angel Martial Soul has three million-year Soul Rings, you have not unleashed its true strength at all. Therefore, I must demand your absolute best at this time."

"Master is truly strict."

Lin Yi let out a laugh, but his expression no longer wavered.

"I am willing to accept the challenge. Master, rest assured, as your disciple, I will certainly not show cowardice before the battle. Let us begin immediately; I cannot wait to test myself!"
