Destruction: Fuck, My Divine Seat Moved!

Destruction's gaze was calm as he gently took the hand of the Goddess of Life, who had appeared beside him at some point, and said evenly:

"Yes, that is the Douluo Plane."

He watched the Douluo Plane, his gaze settling on the three conspicuous currents of fortune.

The only reason he had noticed Tang San's sudden move was because the Douluo Plane was simply far too conspicuous!

For an ordinary plane, it was already nearly the limit for its Plane Will to foster a single Child of Fortune.

Yet even before today's incident, the Douluo Plane had already possessed two Children of Fortune.

One was the Imperial Auspicious Beast within the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. She held roughly twenty percent of the total fortune, and her fortune covered only the Star Dou Great Forest. She belonged to the Soul Beast race.

The other had yet to truly begin his path and was still young: the descendant of the Level Two God of War's kin. He possessed eighty percent of the fortune accumulated by the Douluo Plane over ten thousand years, his fortune so dense it was nearly tangible.

Barring any surprises, he had a chance to achieve Self-Condensation of a Divine Seat, just as the two exceptionally gifted Level One Gods who had once ascended from the Douluo Plane had done—the First Generation Sea God and the First Generation Angel God.

In the past, he had merely thought Tang San fortunate. The Douluo Plane under his jurisdiction produced talents in abundance, and before long, he would likely gain several subordinate gods with immense potential for future advancement.

Moreover, if the Douluo Plane continued producing talent in the future, those talents would most likely enter Tang San's camp, posing no small obstacle to his plan to expand the God Realm.

But now, it seemed there was clearly something fishy going on here!

A Plane Will was naturally friendly toward deities who had departed from its own plane, much like a human mother seeing the child she had raised grow up and succeed.

That was also why the God Realm had the rule that "deities possess jurisdiction over the planes from which they ascended."

But what was this situation now?

The moment Tang San's Divine Sense was detected by the Plane Will, it erupted in a violent, instinctive reaction, like an ungrateful son returning home to steal money, only to be caught by his mother, who grabbed a broom and beat him right back out.

This was absolutely not the normal relationship between a deity and the plane from which he had ascended.

And today's events happened to prove exactly that.

It was already abnormal for the Plane Will to voluntarily divide its fortune and create another Child of Fortune, while Tang San's attempt to directly interfere with the lower realm and act against that Child of Fortune was even more abnormal!

There was clearly some scheme behind this involving Tang San, and one harmful to the Douluo Plane!

Destruction stared at the three conspicuous currents of fortune above the Douluo Plane, and several guesses involuntarily arose in his heart.

Could it be... Tang San wanted to treat the Douluo Plane as a vegetable garden and harvest its fortune?

Destruction frowned in silence. Harvesting the fortune of a lower realm was an absolute violation of God Realm rules. If it were confirmed, that charge alone would be more than enough for the God Realm Core to punish Tang San!

Destruction was somewhat uncertain. After thinking for a moment, the projection of the Douluo Plane before him rapidly enlarged, revealing Ming sitting in the Laboratory. At the same time, Ming's life experiences appeared beside him.

"System formation... Soul Ring concepts... and some kind of special fate concealment. His memories cannot be viewed..."

Destruction murmured unconsciously, his eyes brightening slightly.

This is a talent!

Compared to the Child of Fortune who carried eighty percent of the fortune accumulated by the Douluo Plane over ten thousand years, this kid had every possibility of becoming a god on his own!

"Upon seeing such talent, his first response wasn't recruitment, but preparing to crush the weak with the strong and kill him... Heh...

"Asura, you really know what kind of people can disgust me..."

Destruction recalled his former sworn enemy. His expression grew more displeased, but with a lift of his hand, he sent out a thread of divine power that directly anchored itself to Ming.

A talent highly likely to become a god was worth investing in early. Besides... if Tang San still refused to give up and acted again, it would also become a usable handle, giving him reason to make a move against Tang San...

"Little Purple..."

Beside him, the Goddess of Life spoke with uncertain alarm in her voice.

Destruction immediately snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the Goddess of Life. "What is it, Xiao Lu?"

"My Divine Seat is telling me..." The Goddess of Life frowned slightly and pointed at Ming's projection before them, her tone almost astonished. "...it has found an heir who meets its standards."

"?!"

Destruction froze for a moment, then asked uncertainly:

"I remember, Xiao Lu, the standard you set for an heir to your Divine Seat was... potential to surpass even you in mastery over life?"

"Yes..."

Destruction grew serious. Following the direction of the Goddess of Life's finger, his gaze fell upon Ming in the projection.

Yet just as he had studied Ming for only a moment...

A clear message entered his mind from within his Divine Seat.

—An heir to the Divine Seat has been found.

Destruction: "???"

Wait...

Why had his Divine Seat moved too?!

Destruction fell into deep silence.

Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu, Kong Family Residence.

At this moment, Kong Ming'an stood within his Spiritual Sea, staring at the white humanoid figure before him in profound silence.

He felt like someone had set him up!

He had only just happened to complete the purification of the Spirit Devouring Carving Knife when a spatial rift happened to appear before him. Then, by another remarkable coincidence, Electrolux's Remnant Soul floated out of it and decided to make a deal with him...

Tell him no one had arranged this for him?

Watching Electrolux oversee the fusion of the Life Gold with his body, Kong Ming'an pondered.

First, there was his existence. Without a doubt, he had now drawn the attention of certain higher beings.

And most likely, he had already been marked by that ice-pure and jade-clean God King Tang. If he reasoned according to the logic of the books he remembered...

To that God King Tang, he was an unforeseen variable obstructing the Ten Thousand Year Plan. To prevent accidents, he should have been eliminated immediately.

From that perspective, Electrolux's appearance had nothing to do with that God King Tang. After all, Kong Ming'an was someone who needed to be removed, so naturally Tang San would not send him any fortunate opportunity.

So... it was some other existence.

Kong Ming'an thought for a moment and quickly arrived at an answer—the Plane Will.

Only the Plane Will could create so many "coincidences" and deliver Electrolux to him. With that God King Tang's world-shaking wisdom, it was absolutely impossible for him to accomplish such a thing.

It could only be the Plane Will.

And since the Plane Will had done this... it meant that it had placed its bet on him.

To have the Plane Will betting on him, to have caught that God King Tang's attention, yet still be alive and well...

Either the Plane Will had blocked a possible attack for him, or someone in the God Realm had intervened and stopped God King Tang from acting.

So, based on the information he knew, his answer gradually became complete.

"Have I become a pawn in their conflict?"

Kong Ming'an murmured. There was no fear in his eyes; instead, they grew a little brighter. For now... it seemed like he was safe?
