"Recently, our God Realm has grown increasingly robust, yet due to restrictions, many prodigies in the lower realms are unable to ascend. I propose we expand the God Realm!"

As soon as the God of Destruction spoke these words, the gods below began to murmur, and many nodded in agreement.

After all, the God Realm being overcrowded was not a matter of a day or two.

Seeing that the gods were clearly moved, the God of Destruction thought this was a sure win.

Unexpectedly.

The Asura God was the first to stand up and object: "Impossible! This matter concerns the safety of the God Realm and requires careful deliberation!"

The God of Destruction gritted his teeth in anger and slammed his hand against the table: "Asura, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

"That is merely your own assumption; it has nothing to do with me."

The Asura God did not answer the question directly, but the hint of mockery in his eyes already made his stance clear.

He was doing it on purpose!

"Bastard! Asura, you are courting death!"

"Do you think I, Asura, fear you? If you have the guts, let's go outside and spar! See if I don't hack you down with a single sword strike!"

The gods were long accustomed to this.

Because of their differing philosophies, the God of Destruction and the Asura God had been bickering for quite some time.

But it was the first time they had argued so fiercely, to the point of nearly coming to blows.

A heavy, majestic voice rang out:

"Enough! You are all veterans of the God Realm; mind your influence and don't let the children see you making a fool of yourselves."

The one who spoke was none other than one of the true leaders of the God Realm, the Evil God King.

This was not yet the era of the five great God Kings; the only ones who could be called God Kings were the Kindness God King and the Evil God King.

The God of Destruction and the Asura God both snorted coldly at each other and turned their heads away, neither willing to yield.

The Kindness God King, standing to the side, followed up: "Alright, let's end the meeting here for today. It is a celebration for the God Realm, after all; if everyone has nothing else to do, stay for a cup of tea and chat. Wouldn't that be nice?"

"No need. I have no interest in chatting with the likes of him."

The Asura God dropped those words and turned to walk out of the meeting hall.

Seeing this, the God of Destruction trembled with rage: "Look at that! Does he still have any semblance of a God Realm enforcer?"

"I think he has lost his mind, his head filled only with thoughts of running away! As an enforcer, he doesn't think about contributing to the God Realm, but spends his days ruining my plans for it!"

Kindness and Evil exchanged a glance, and with a helpless sigh, they also rose and left the meeting hall.

"Alright, Little Zi, don't be angry. At least there are still so many gods who support you."

The Goddess of Life stepped forward, her jade hand stroking his back as she comforted him softly.

"Hmph, I suppose you're right."

The God of Destruction scanned the room. Aside from the Sin Gods under his command, most of the other deities had remained.

Clearly, they supported his philosophy.

Well... except for one annoying little fellow!

Subsequently, the God of Destruction announced the start of the banquet, and the gods began to raise their glasses in joy, chatting and laughing, having a wonderful time.

Just as the banquet reached its peak, Poseinan walked to the center of the meeting hall and bowed slightly toward the God of Destruction: "Lord Destruction, I wish to apply for training in the lower realms!"

"Huh?"

The God of Destruction thought he had misheard and immediately looked toward the other gods.

The deities were all just as shocked as he was.

One had to realize that being born in the God Realm, and possessing a father like the Sea God, meant one could at least reserve a position as a Second-Class God in the future.

How could someone want to give up a life that countless mortals in the lower realms would envy?

The God of Destruction first looked up at the Sea God Poseidon, and seeing that he did not step out to stop it, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Could it be that the father and son were having a falling out?

"Do you know what the lower realms signify?"

"You will abandon your status as a child of a deity, you will lose this long lifespan, your father will be unable to help you, and you may very well wither away and die of old age in the lower realms!"

"Are you willing to do this even so?"

Poseinan countered: "May I ask, Lord Destruction, what is a deity?"

The God of Destruction answered without a second thought: "Naturally, one who breaks through the limits of the lower realms and contributes to the God Realm is a deity!"

Poseinan shook his head: "No, Lord Destruction, you are wrong!"

The God of Destruction looked stunned.

How could he be wrong?

Poseinan stood straight, his gaze firm, his voice youthful yet filled with confidence: "A god does not scheme, a god does not calculate, and a god does not rely on others—that is what a god is!"

As these words fell, the gods below offered their most sincere respect.

This was what a god should be!

Boundless love, treating all things in the world with equality!

By comparison, the gods even felt a sense of shame.

They had lived for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, yet they were actually inferior to a child who had only been born for six years?

Of course, there were exceptions among the gods.

For instance, the expression on the face of Poseidon, the Sea God, was as if he had eaten a bitter gourd.

You brat, you've set the bar so high with your words.

How am I supposed to pull strings to help you in the future?

Even the God of Destruction cast a look of approval, savoring the words in his heart repeatedly.

That was right; this was the image of a god he truly recognized!

Poseinan continued to speak:

"I have heard that the God of Destruction intends to expand the God Realm. As the son of the Sea God, I, Poseinan, should naturally lead by example!"

"I am willing to descend to the lower realm in person to prove my heart, and I am willing to keep my feet on the ground, climbing back to the divine altar step by step!"

"Good! Well said!"

In his delight, the God of Destruction felt all his previous dissatisfaction with him vanish into thin air.

This child is just like me!

"I agree!"

"Everyone, I shall now send this child to the lower realm, so I will take my leave."

With that, the God of Destruction disappeared from the hall, taking Poseinan with him.

Temple of Destruction.

"Nannan, may I call you that?"

The way the God of Destruction looked at Poseinan was completely different now.

"Of course you may, Lord God of Destruction!"

Looking at the boy's youthful yet resolute eyes, the God of Destruction felt a sense of joy; the more he looked, the more he felt the boy resembled himself in his youth.

He patted him on the shoulder again: "Calling me 'Lord' sounds so unpleasant; from now on, just call me Uncle!"

"Uncle God of Destruction!"

"Good. Since you are heading to the lower realm, I must tell you in advance: I will not send you directly to Sea God Island, but I will not stop you from going there either. Do you understand?"

The God of Destruction's tone was extremely serious.

As an enforcer, if he personally sent Poseinan to Sea God Island, he would be breaking the very laws he upheld.

But if Poseinan managed to reach Sea God Island on his own, that was his own capability, and no one could gossip about it.

Poseinan's tone was firm: "Rest assured, Uncle Destruction. To prove my path through my own actions—even if the road ahead is filled with thorns, I, Poseinan, will have no regrets even if I die!"

"Good, very good!"

The more the God of Destruction looked at him, the more he liked him; he was almost reluctant to let him go. Before leaving, he gripped Poseinan's palm, and a wisp of deep purple divine power slowly surged into his body.

"This is a wisp of my Destruction Origin. Once you reach the Limit Douluo realm, study it well!"

"If you have the ability, it is not impossible for you to inherit my Destruction God position in the future!"

"Alright, enough talk, let's go now!"

The next second, the God of Destruction brought Poseinan to the edge of the God Realm.

Below lay the boundless universe, and in the distance was a deep blue planet—that must be Douluo Planet, right?

The God of Destruction suddenly said, "Nannan."

"Hm?"

The moment Poseinan turned around, a large foot kicked directly toward him.

"Off you go!"

"F*ck! You old geezer Destruction, I'll *******"
