Feng Baiyu led the newly ascended deities into the Divine Estate left behind by the Previous Phoenix God. Once they had settled in, they immediately entered seclusion to cultivate.
Under the planar constraints of the Douluo Continent, their cultivation had long since reached the ceiling of the Mortal Realm, leaving them unable to advance any further.
But entering the Divine Realm meant breaking free of those old shackles on their levels. A new path of cultivation opened before them, and they could finally continue climbing toward the pinnacle of power without hindrance.
While Feng Baiyu and his companions cultivated in seclusion, the Four God Kings of the Divine Realm quietly gathered to discuss the newly ascended Phoenix God King in private.
As fellow Supreme God Kings, they were reluctant to see another join their ranks and divide the Divine Realm's existing authority and interests.
Yet the nature of the Phoenix God King's authority was highly unusual. Aside from his formidable combat strength and unique creation divine power, his Divine Domain overlapped very little with those of the other God Kings and would not directly threaten their fundamental interests.
For that reason, the Four God Kings were fairly willing to accept and accommodate Feng Baiyu's arrival.
The Destruction God King was especially eager to act. If he could win the Phoenix God King over to his side, they could work together to expand the Divine Realm outward and reap tremendous benefits.
"For now, I see no hidden danger in the Phoenix God King." The Destruction God King looked at his wife and the others and said slowly, "In my view, the Asura God most likely held a personal grudge against the Previous Phoenix God. That would explain his criticisms and exaggerations."
The Life God King already leaned toward her husband's opinion.
