The God of Destruction was the first to sense the extraction of the universe's origin and immediately convened the God Realm Committee, ordering the Asura God, who was responsible for maintaining order, to investigate the source.
"Found it. It's in a low-level plane called the Douluo Continent!"
Although the Asura God wanted to find a formidable opponent, he did not want a new God King to emerge.
The addition of a God King would mean the God Realm would have to expand and absorb more gods.
By then, the situation in the God Realm would undergo massive changes, causing the order of the God Realm to become even more chaotic.
"The Douluo Continent?"
"Asura God, I recall that you chose that place as the site for your inheritance, didn't you?"
The God of Destruction frowned, a flicker of worry crossing his mind.
"Indeed, there has already been a response!"
"But this disturbance is certainly not caused by my successor!"
The Asura God could sense the progress of his successor's trials through the Nine Trials of God.
Currently, the eighth trial had been completed, and the inheritance would be finished soon.
"Since you have an inheritance there, it is convenient for you to go over and eradicate this person before they can achieve the status of a God King."
"If we were to intervene, our power would be severely suppressed."
"It seems the Sea God, the Rakshasa God, and the Angel God also have inheritances on that low-level plane."
"It would be fitting to send them along as well."
The God of Destruction pondered for a moment and decided it was better to send more people, just in case.
"What use would they be!"
"If even I cannot kill this person, what good would it do for them to go?"
"They would only hold me back!"
"Just wait for my good news!"
The Asura God looked down upon the strength of the Sea God, the Rakshasa God, and the Angel God entirely.
He was the strongest in the God Realm; if even he could not kill the target, no one else would be of any use.
"This Asura, relying on his own strength, is far too arrogant."
"Sea God, Rakshasa God, Angel God, appear!"
The God of Destruction felt deeply helpless regarding the Asura God's arrogance and, behind his back, directly summoned the three First-Class Gods.
If this were before, he would not have cared at all.
After all, as long as it was not a God King taking action, there would be no failure.
However, this was a God King about to be born.
Although they lacked a god position and had not officially become a deity, their cultivation had very likely already reached the God King realm; he had to be cautious.
Even if the actual combat ability of the three First-Class Gods was not equal to the Asura God, they were not far behind.
Taking action together with the Asura God would only increase the odds of victory.
"Destruction, if you do this, he will not be pleased."
The Goddess of Life understood the Asura God's personality best; she feared the Asura God would settle scores later.
Given the tempers of the Asura God and the God of Destruction, they would surely end up in a fight.
If they were to fight, the God Realm would be the only one to suffer.
"I don't give a damn; if it comes to it, we'll just fight."
"Calculating the time, it is about time for a new ranking."
"When the time comes, I will defeat him head-on and seize the title of the First God King."
The God of Destruction snorted coldly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
The Goddess of Life, the God of Evil, and the God of Goodness were speechless at the attitude of the God of Destruction.
Here we go again!
Since the birth of the God Realm, the God of Destruction and the Asura God had clashed countless times.
The God of Destruction's win rate was extremely low; he was almost always suppressed and beaten.
After all this time, the God of Destruction still hadn't learned his lesson; he was a total masochist.
"Greetings to the four God Kings!"
Upon hearing the summons, the Sea God, the Rakshasa God, and the Angel God flew to the God Realm Committee and bowed respectfully to the four God Kings.
At the same time, the Angel God and the Rakshasa God exchanged glances, their eyes filled with resentment and hostility.
The Sea God stood between the two, feeling incredibly awkward and terrified that they might start fighting right then and there.
"Hmph!"
"I have summoned you here today because there is a matter of great importance concerning the safety of the God Realm."
"You are to travel in secret to a low-level plane called the Douluo Continent and assist the Asura God in completing a kill mission."
"Unless absolutely necessary, it is best that you do not reveal yourselves, unless the Asura God is unable to complete the mission on his own."
The God of Destruction issued the order to the three of them in the most solemn tone.
Upon hearing this, the Sea God and the others were startled.
Could it be that the Asura God was capable of failure?
That seemed impossible.
He was, after all, the God King with the greatest combat power in the God Realm.
If even he could fail, then what kind of formidable opponent could their target be?
Could it be that the Dragon God had been resurrected?
Looking back through the history of the God Realm, only the Dragon God had ever forced the Asura God to return empty-handed.
"What?"
"Are the three of you unwilling?"
Seeing that the three remained silent, the God of Destruction's face turned livid in an instant.
Had he reached a point where he could no longer even command Tier 1 Gods?
"Lord God of Destruction, we are willing!"
Sensing the killing intent radiating from the God of Destruction, the Sea God and the others hurriedly replied.
If they were to provoke the God of Destruction, they would surely suffer for it.
"Then what are you waiting for? Go!"
"Especially you two; can you try to cooperate? Put the greater good above all else."
"Once you have completed the mission, you will have plenty of time to fight."
"If I find out that you are infighting in the lower realm, I will skin you alive!"
"Sea God, you are responsible for supervising them. If anything goes wrong, you will be punished just the same."
The God of Destruction felt annoyed just looking at the Rakshasa God and the Angel God bickering.
If it weren't for the fact that they both had inheritors established on the Douluo Continent, he would never have sent them both at the same time.
"Yes, Lord God of Destruction."
The Sea God and the others acknowledged the order and departed by tearing through space-time.
"My two ladies, you absolutely must not turn on each other."
"Judging by the God of Destruction's demeanor, this matter is not simple."
"If you two infight and delay the mission, we will all be punished!"
"I don't think either of you wants to be targeted by the God of Destruction for the rest of your lives, only to disappear without a trace."
The Sea God looked at the Angel God and the Rakshasa God, his head throbbing.
These two women were not to be trifled with.
The God of Destruction had tasked him with watching over them; wasn't this just roasting him over a fire?
One slight misstep, and he would be dealt with by these two women.
"We know, you don't need to worry about us!"
"Hurry up and find Lord Asura God; don't waste any more time!"
The Angel God shot the Sea God a glare before speeding toward the Douluo Plane.
Although they were all powerful Tier 1 Gods possessing speeds faster than light, the distance between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent was vast, and it would still take some time to arrive.
"Instead of having the leisure to nag, you'd be better off thinking about how not to be discovered by Lord Asura God later."
The Rakshasa God cast a cold, sinister glance at him before also rushing toward the Douluo Plane.
"I only mentioned it once, there's no need to target me like this!"
"I give up!"
The Sea God was speechless, his face twisted into a bitter smile.
If he had known, he never would have left behind inheritance trials on the Douluo Continent.
"Zi Chen is truly generous."
"Giving me a God King with an official position just like that!"
"Does he not realize that doing this will make the universe even more fragile?"
Duan Changsheng looked at the God King-level godhead in his hand, his face filled with helplessness.
To ensure he would be controlled by the Heavenly Dao, Zi Chen had truly spared no expense.
However, he had no interest in this reward.
To him, even without accepting the reward, he would still be able to become a God King all the same.
Since Zi Chen was so magnanimous, he would leave this reward for his daughter.
[The Combat Power Ranking has officially concluded; rewards are being distributed successively.]
