The God King of Destruction raised his hand, ready to bestow his inheritance, but the God King of Life beside him suddenly reached out to stop him.
"Wait a moment, Xiao Zi. Which of the two do you intend to pass your inheritance to?"
"Naturally, the boy. Is there a problem?" The God King of Destruction looked puzzled.
Hearing this, the God King of Life slapped her forehead in exasperation, her beautiful face etched with dark lines. "Have you forgotten that the origins of Life and Destruction are opposites? They cannot produce offspring!"
It would have been better if she hadn't said it; once she did, the God King of Destruction became even more confused. "I know that, but aren't they brother and sister?"
No, how did you even become a God King?!
For the first time, this thought crossed the mind of the God King of Life.
"Doesn't that young girl call the boy 'brother'?" the God King of Destruction asked, seeing the expression on her face.
"Who told you that just because they call each other brother and sister, they must be blood-related? Haven't you noticed they have no blood connection at all?!"
"Or perhaps, the times you used to tease me and make me call you 'daddy' were for..." The God King of Life rested her chin on her hand, a playful glint in her beautiful eyes.
"This... this... Xiao Lu, don't talk nonsense!" The God King of Destruction's old face flushed red, his speech faltering.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." The God King of Life covered her mouth and chuckled, then her expression turned serious. "Xiao Zi, that girl already carries the inheritance mark of the God of Love. If we intervene now, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate?"
The God of Love was, after all, a deity of the God Realm. Though she had long since fallen, snatching the successor of another deity went against the God King of Life's principles.
"What is inappropriate about it? She is merely a second-tier deity."
"At worst, we can just add a condition to the trial later to help find another successor for that deity," the God King of Destruction said dismissively.
"However, the girl's other Martial Soul doesn't quite align with my attributes... Oh well, I shall give her a helping hand." The God King of Destruction frowned.
As he spoke, a force of annihilation shot from his fingertip, transforming into a purple-black stream of light that plummeted straight toward the Douluo Continent.
To a God King, this bit of power was insignificant and could be recovered with a mere wave of the hand.
"Since she is a descendant of that transformed spirit beast, she will surely head to the Capital of Life. I will descend with a divine thought then to bestow my inheritance upon her."
The God King of Life leaned gently against her husband's shoulder, her soft voice tinged with anticipation. "After waiting so long, we have finally encountered a successor who fits us both. We can finally lay down this burden."
Just as the two were sharing a tender moment, the God King of Asura, far away at the God Realm Hub, was boiling with rage. "I'll be damned! How can you people bully someone like this!"
As a dignified Law Enforcement God of the God Realm, he had finally "cultivated" a candidate with Twin Martial Souls, intending for them to take over the positions of Asura and the Sea God once they matured.
He had planned to drag his best friend away from the God Realm to travel the universe, but who would have thought someone would snatch his prize halfway through!
If it were only the God King of Life, he might have let it slide—he could just give up the Sea God's position; the weight of a God King was far greater than that of a first-tier god.
But why did Destruction have to get involved too? Relying on the fact that they were a married couple, they teamed up to bully him—where was he supposed to put his face as Asura?
His rage grew, and the God King of Asura drew the Asura Magic Sword, charging straight toward the Forest of Life.
"Life! Destruction! Get out here!"
The roar shook the entire Forest of Life, causing the leaves to rustle violently.
Beneath the Ancient Tree of Life, the two exchanged a glance, both silently realizing things had gone wrong.
The main party had come knocking!
They flashed into mid-air and, seeing the red-eyed God King of Asura, quickly spoke up: "Asura, calm down. Let's talk this over."
"Calm down? What do you want me to calm down with?!"
The God King of Asura's blood-red hair danced wildly, and the killing intent around him nearly solidified.
He gave a grim laugh, raised the Asura Divine Sword high, and slashed down at them with overwhelming bloodlust.
"You shattered my and the Sea God's retirement plans, and you want me to calm down? In your dreams!"
The blood-colored sword light tore through the sky, leaving the surrounding deities in shock.
"Xiao Zi!"
"Xiao Lu!"
The two shouted in unison. The green power of Life and the purple-black power of Destruction instantly merged, forming a barrier before them that easily blocked the strike.
"Asura, that's enough."
The God King of Destruction said in a deep voice, "Look at the girl's brother. In terms of talent and temperament, he might be a better fit for your Asura divine position."
Hm?
The God King of Asura paused, and with half-doubt, he descended a wisp of divine thought to scan the Douluo Continent.
A moment later, the gods saw the God King of Asura, who had just been furious, suddenly curve his lips upward, his brow finally smoothing out.
He coughed lightly and immediately straightened his expression. "Life, Destruction, I was just joking earlier. Don't take it to heart."
Hearing this, veins throbbed on the God King of Destruction's forehead, but he didn't lash out—after all, they were the ones who had snatched the successor first.
But seeing Asura turn to leave, he couldn't help but speak, his tone laced with provocation.
"Asura, that child only has one Martial Soul. How can he inherit both your position and the Sea God's?"
"Sea God?"
The God King of Asura stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowed. "What Sea God? That has nothing to do with me."
Having said that, he flashed away, leaving the crowd of deities to stare at one another in bewilderment.
Sea God: "What the #&#*%, Asura, you scumbag!"
Douluo Continent, Love-Hate Yin-Yang Well.
Lan Yu was completely oblivious to the upheaval in the God Realm; he was currently holding the suddenly collapsed Tang Shan, filled with anxiety.
Just a moment ago, for some unknown reason, a red light had abruptly shot out from the Love-Hate Yin-Yang Well and struck Tang Shan right between the eyebrows, causing her to faint immediately.
"Xiao Shan? Xiao Shan, wake up."
Hearing Lan Yu's call, Tang Shan slowly opened her eyes and said weakly, "Brother... I'm so cold."
Seeing this, Lan Yu hurriedly channeled his Soul Power to drive away the chill for her.
But a strange thing happened: Tang Shan began to shiver even more violently, her teeth chattering so hard that she bit her own tongue several times.
Watching the young girl's pained expression, Lan Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly extended his finger to cushion her mouth, which finally caused her complexion to improve slightly.
Yet, not a moment later, Tang Shan, who had just been complaining of the cold, suddenly flushed crimson, her breathing becoming rapid.
"Brother... I'm so hot."
Lan Yu's heart sank. Before he could react, he saw the girl open her eyes, staring at him with a hazy gaze as her small hands unconsciously tugged at her own clothes.
"Brother... I feel so uncomfortable..."
In her dazed state, the girl sensed the finger in her mouth and couldn't help but let out a soft, coquettish moan, flicking her fragrant tongue to lick it.
At that very instant, a strange mark slowly emerged between her eyebrows, glowing faintly.
Lan Yu's pupils constricted sharply.
A divine inheritance mark?
But when he saw the appearance of the mark clearly, his expression instantly darkened.
The hell, what kind of decent god has a Succubus Mark as their inheritance mark?!
Overcome by a surge of emotion, Lan Yu's finger involuntarily pulled out from the girl's mouth.
"Mmm~, don't."
Tang Shan whimpered and began to fuss again.
"Be good, don't make a scene."
Lan Yu had no choice but to reinsert his finger, and the girl finally quieted down as she began to suck on it.
Damn it!
Lan Yu's eyes turned bloodshot, his breathing heavy like an ox, as he cursed inwardly: Don't let me find out who you are, or I will destroy your divine position at any cost!!
Just then, two streaks of purple-black radiance descended from the sky; one merged into Tang Shan's body, while the other landed on a broad Dragon Blood Grass by the spring.
In an instant, the bewitching red mark between the girl's eyebrows seemed to encounter a nemesis and suddenly dissipated, replaced by a purple-black flame mark.
The girl in his arms finally quieted down.
