Meeting Decides the Divine King's Succession

God Realm, Committee.

The Five Great God Kings gathered in a single hall.

A square table.

Seated at the head were the Evil and Goodness God Kings, one in black and one in white.

Seated below them were the Destruction and Life God Kings, one in purple and one in green.

Sitting in the middle was the Asura God King, alone, looking left and right, surrounded by displays of affection.

As a God King without a partner, Asura often felt isolated by the other four, having no domestic topics to discuss.

The water screen displayed Qian Xunji standing upon the sea, a sea of thunder overhead, utilizing his Eight Spider Lances to continuously devour the energy of the lightning and the ocean.

The matter of a God King's inheritance was of great importance to the God Realm; it could not be taken lightly.

One day in the God Realm was one year in Douluo.

To the gods, this might have been just an afternoon meeting, but for Qian Xunji, several solid months had passed.

During this time, he had obtained the Qingyun Daoist Method through a system check-in.

"Nine Heavens Profound Temple, transformed into divine thunder; with the majesty of the heavens, I summon it with my sword."

Naturally, the moment he received it, he began to cultivate.

Destruction God King watched through the water screen as Qian Xunji controlled thunder with his sword and expressed his admiration: "This child has a profound understanding of thunder techniques. Compared to the position of Asura, he is more suited for the God position of Destruction."

Upon hearing this, Asura's heart skipped a beat.

He did not speak, nor did he overthink; he simply pulled out his great treasure sword (the super-artifact Asura God Sword) and slammed it onto the table.

His expression was somber, his eyes glowed red, and his entire body was shrouded in crimson Asura killing intent.

He was snatching his successor!

If that guy Destruction dared to speak now, he would dare to snatch the person away later!

Qian Xunji was his only hope to regain his freedom, leave the God Realm, and wander the universe at will.

Whoever dared to covet his successor, he would fight them to the death.

Asura God: "If you have anything to say, go tell it to my Asura God Sword!"

"Do not fight."

The Goddess of Life saw that the Asura God was in a strange state, and her husband, Destruction, had also pulled out his Destruction Scepter, setting the stage for a clash where neither would back down. She spoke in a soft voice.

Whenever two God Kings fought, the gods belonging to their respective factions were prone to breaking out into group battles.

If tempers flared, it was highly likely to lead to the fall of gods.

The Goddess of Goodness conjured a small water screen in her palm, observing Qian Xunji's performance in Slaughter City and Heaven Dou City.

He eliminated the wicked, spared the innocent, and showed kindness to the commoners who had been wrongly captured.

Such a person—principled, disciplined, capable, and kind to the lower classes—aside from having a heavy heart for killing, was simply...

The Goddess of Goodness raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the large water screen in the conference hall.

"It's a pity he's a workaholic without a partner." She felt somewhat dissatisfied.

He hadn't slept in months, constantly drawing down heavenly thunder to cultivate; he had stopped acting like a human even before becoming a god.

He had no social interactions.

He didn't contact his family.

He didn't contact his friends.

He had no partner, just like Asura.

A lonely king's successor was also a lonely king.

The Asura God felt the gaze of the Goddess of Goodness upon him. He turned his head and saw the disdain in her eyes.

He felt bewildered; had the Goddess of Goodness taken the wrong medicine today?

Or had the Evil God King not satisfied her last night?

Why was she looking at him with such disdain?

No, she must be jealous that he could successfully pass on his god position, gain freedom, leave the God Realm, and roam the universe in style.

Yes, that must be it.

"Asura, I agree to you passing your god position to Qian Xunji."

A flash of brilliance crossed the beautiful eyes of the Goddess of Goodness as she changed the subject.

"But I believe Qian Xunji needs a wife."

"As a God King, what kind of decorum is it to have no partner?" The Goddess of Goodness stared straight at the Asura God, her beautiful eyes gleaming with cold light, her tone filled with disdain.

"That little girl the Rakshasa God has her eye on has decent talent. Asura, why don't you act as a matchmaker?" The Evil God King smiled, stirring up trouble without a care in the world.

He felt that since both were in the same faction...

Qian Daoliu was the father of Qian Xunji, and Bibi Dong was the disciple of Qian Daoliu.

The two could be considered fellow disciples, and both had the potential to inherit god positions and ascend to the God Realm in the future.

The first-generation Asura God and Rakshasa God had a poor relationship, but the second-generation Rakshasa God and Asura God were husband and wife.

If this matter could be accomplished, the God Realm would be much more harmonious in the future.

The two great Gods of Slaughter would no longer compete in secret, using the planes subordinate to the God Realm as a chessboard, playing against each other with people as pieces, triggering national wars and causing countless casualties.

"Evil, your idea is good, but please stop your unrealistic thinking."

The Asura God spoke coldly, feeling it was bad luck.

The Rakshasa God? Not even a dog would marry her!

He would rather have rumors spread about him and Sea God Poseidon than have anything to do with the Rakshasa God.

That ugly freak, reeking of resentment—whoever touched her would be cursed.

"Regarding whether to let Qian Xunji inherit the Asura God Position, please begin the vote." The Evil God King entered work mode, his face serious.

"I agree to Qian Xunji inheriting the Asura God Position, but I still hope he can find a partner to marry." The Goddess of Goodness raised her hand in agreement.

"I agree to Qian Xunji inheriting the god position, but I maintain my view that he is more suited to inherit the Destruction God Position." The Destruction God King raised his hand in agreement, while simultaneously disgusting the Asura God.

"I agree as well." The Goddess of Life raised her hand in agreement. Although she did not particularly like Qian Xunji, who was decisive in killing and heavy-handed toward females, she could not deny that his talent and temperament were both excellent and capable of bearing the Asura God Position.

"Regarding the matter of Asura Successor Qian Xunji inheriting the Asura God Position, it is passed by unanimous vote. Today's meeting is hereby concluded."

As soon as the Evil God King's voice fell.

The Asura God grabbed his sword and quickly left with the Destruction God King, who was holding his scepter.

"It's starting again." The Goddess of Life, who had risen to leave, sighed as she watched their retreating backs.

They couldn't be persuaded; they truly couldn't be persuaded.

Two warmongers who loved to fight the moment they met.

One represented slaughter, the other destruction; when they collided, it was always fighting and killing.

Goodness and Evil did not leave; their gazes remained fixed on Qian Xunji within the water screen.

Like the Asura God, both gods wanted to abdicate, pass down their god positions, leave the God Realm, and go out to live freely and easily, without work and without worries.

They also wanted a successor like Qian Xunji, who possessed the aptitude of a God King and could rely on himself to become a god independently.

But beings with such talent and temperament were rarely seen in the planes under the jurisdiction of the God Realm, not even once in ten thousand years.

The child of destiny born from the convergence of fortune that occurred once every ten thousand years did not necessarily possess the aptitude of a God King.

Someone with a will as firm as a rock, a kind heart, and who did not bully the weak.

Such people were already rarer than phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Moreover, each of them had ambitions higher than the sky and might not necessarily be willing to inherit someone else's god position.

"Should we learn from Asura and cast a wide net?" the Goddess of Goodness suggested.

"We should also learn from Sea God Poseidon and take the initiative to provide resources to cultivate successors," the Evil God King added.

The two God King spouses, who wanted to shirk their duties and stop working, began to take action as they spoke.

Meanwhile, Qian Xunji on the Douluo Plane did not know that his desire to inherit the Asura God Position had to go through a vote by the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm.

Fortunately, his performance was decent; although the Five Great God Kings had some minor opinions, they all agreed to let him inherit the Asura God Position.
