Divine Realm Committee

The Divine Realm Committee consisted of five God Kings: the Asura God, the God of Kindness, the God of Evil, the God of Destruction, and the Goddess of Life.

Inside the conference hall, the Goddess of Life was savoring some freshly discovered tea. The tea was clear, with several long, slender silver-white leaves floating on its surface, giving off an aura of renewal. The God of Kindness and the God of Evil sat to one side, communicating with their eyes about where to go have fun later. They looked like they were slacking off. As for the God of Destruction and the Asura God... same as always.

"Sea God, you've said so much, but everything this god from another world has done falls within the rules. He hasn't done anything excessive. Issuing a wanted order just like that is hardly justified."

Naturally, the God of Destruction had to oppose what Tang San wanted to do.

This god from another world had neither disrupted the order of the plane, interfered with the operation of the Divine Realm, nor posed any threat to any god. Hunting him down like this would damage the Divine Realm Committee's credibility if word got out.

Besides, the God of Destruction himself wanted to recruit the other party under his command someday, so naturally he had to protect him a little.

"Besides, even if this is a routine meeting, can't you say something useful?"

The God of Destruction continued. Although this meeting was a regular one, Tang San had not brought up anything useful, only matters concerning the lower realm.

Hearing the God of Destruction's words, Tang San showed no reaction and looked toward the other God Kings.

The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction were partners. Unless something concerned the Divine Realm, she would not say much and generally stood on the God of Destruction's side. As for the God of Kindness and the God of Evil, those two simply did not want to concern themselves with Divine Realm affairs. So long as the Divine Realm was not facing genuine danger, they would not care what was discussed at today's meeting.

"He may endanger Douluo Continent."

As Tang San spoke, he raised a hand to cover his forehead, his expression carrying a hint of worry.

"I came from Douluo Continent, so of course I have to worry about its safety. Naturally, you wouldn't understand."

When he said this, Tang San's eyes brimmed with concern. After all, he had come from Douluo Continent, so naturally he worried about the safety of his home. As for God Kings from other places like them? What the hell did they know about Douluo Continent?

"Oh? You're worried that Douluo Continent will fall into another god's hands? Then you really should be worried."

At the mention of Douluo Continent, the God of Destruction recalled how Tang San had put righteousness before family. Tang Hao was still locked in the divine prison.

"It has nothing to do with me. I also don't know why Father wanted to seize Douluo Continent's origin and become the lord of the plane. If I had known he was doing that, I would have arrested him long ago."

Hearing the God of Destruction bring this up, Tang San's expression darkened before he explained.

In any case, he did not know why his father had done it. If he had known earlier, he would have immediately captured Tang Hao and thrown him into the divine prison.

After all, he was the God of Law Enforcement. He could not have any stains on his record.

"Heh. You'd better hope so."

Hearing Tang San's sophistry, the God of Destruction sneered. He did not want to say much more. He did not believe Tang San had known nothing about Tang Hao's scheme for Douluo Continent. After all, Tang Hao had descended to the lower realm through Tang San's methods, and his actions there had been concealed through Tang San's authority.

Tang San's traces were present in every part of it. There was no way Tang San knew nothing.

Besides, the God of Destruction did not believe that an ordinary second-class god would dare do such a thing—and actually succeed. Becoming the lord of a plane was not something an ordinary god could accomplish. He absolutely did not believe Tang San had not helped behind the scenes.

However, the God of Destruction had no evidence to report Tang San at present. After all, Tang Hao had already confessed everything.

"Enough, Sea God. I have also seen that god from another world several times through the Divine Realm. He bears no ill will toward Douluo Continent. And even if he truly becomes the god of the plane and harbors hostility toward the Divine Realm, surely the five of us God Kings can handle him."

The Goddess of Life spoke. Even if this god from another world became the lord of Douluo Continent's plane, a plane lord was not invincible. Douluo Continent's power could at most reach the level of a first-class god, while there were five God Kings here.

Hearing this, Tang San knew he could not rely on the Goddess of Life either. He had originally planned to play the victim and gain her sympathy, but it seemed that path was gone as well.

"By the way, there is another matter. You should have noticed it too—the Ice God divine position has begun its succession."

The God of Evil, who had not said a word since the meeting began, spoke of the Ice God divine position.

Hearing the God of Evil's words, Tang San's eyes lit up. He had just been about to mention this. According to reliable information, this new Ice God was extremely familiar with that god from another world. They had to find a way to separate them, or there would be endless trouble later.

Tang San had originally worried that it would be inappropriate for him to raise the matter, but he had not expected the God of Evil to hand him an opening.

"I believe that, given the Ice God's contributions to the Divine Realm, the chosen successor of that divine position should receive special care. We should send a god to help her complete her divine trials."

Tang San said this because successors had to complete divine trials to become gods. So long as someone was needed to oversee the Ice God's divine trials, he could do many things in the process, just as the previous Sea God had done to the Angel God.

Unfortunately, Tang San had arrived in the Divine Realm too late and did not yet know some of its deeper secrets.

"There is no need. The Ice God divine position is extremely satisfied with this successor. Once she gathers all the divine position fragments, she can ascend to the Divine Realm."

Hearing Tang San's proposal, the Goddess of Life answered. At the same time, she sighed inwardly. The Sea God was truly compassionate, caring so much for the successor of a mortal divine position.

"Why is there no need for divine trials? Isn't that against the rules?"

Tang San asked in confusion. Without divine trials, how was he supposed to make a move against the Ice God's successor? How could he turn her into his subordinate through those trials?

"There is no need. Sea God, you need not worry about the rules. This is the choice of the divine position, not the choice of a god."

The Goddess of Life explained. The Ice God divine position had already accepted this successor, so Snow Empress was now no different from the Ice God. She did not need to undergo divine trials. At present, Snow Empress merely had not gathered the entire Ice God divine position.

"This..."

Tang San was puzzled. He truly had not known such a thing was possible. One could become a god without divine trials?

"Sea God, there is no need to be confused. You came to the Divine Realm too late. You are usually occupied with law enforcement, so it is normal that you do not know these matters."

The Goddess of Life said. She remembered that ever since the Sea God had ascended, he had been busy managing the Divine Realm and rarely read books containing information about it.

"I see..."

Tang San felt a little embarrassed, because he truly had not known about this. Yet he was still thinking about separating the Ice God divine position's successor from Xia Liang.

Suddenly, Tang San had an idea, and a good plan emerged in his mind. This way, he could appear merciful while also bringing the Ice God under his control.

"Since the Ice God's successor already counts as a god, why not bring her to the Divine Realm to recuperate? We can then send someone to help her restore her divine position and adapt to the Divine Realm."

This was Tang San's scheme. Since this Ice God could no longer be stopped, he would bring her to the Divine Realm and separate her from that god from another world.

While the Ice God was in the Divine Realm, he could send someone to receive her. The God of Kindness and the God of Evil did not involve themselves in affairs, the Goddess of Life disliked going out, and the God of Destruction's side was unsuitable. That left only him to send someone to greet her.

Then, what the Ice God knew and understood would depend on what he wanted her to know.

"There is no need. Let us wait until the Ice God recovers to godhood in the lower realm first."

At the mention of bringing the Ice God to the Divine Realm, the Goddess of Life's expression paused. There was no need for the Ice God to come up so quickly.

"The Ice God belongs to the line of elemental gods. Let the Elemental Hall handle her affairs."

At this moment, the God of Kindness also spoke.

The Elemental Hall was composed of seven elemental gods, each of whom controlled a core element: the Fire God, Water God, Earth God, Wind God, Light God, God of Darkness, and God of Space.

Among them, the Ice God had been the youngest. The previous Ice God had even come to her Life Goddess Temple to treat her to drinks.

It was just that hairstyle she could not stand. A little girl with short hair.

"Elemental Hall..."

The previous Asura God had been friends with the Fire God, so Tang San naturally knew some things about the Elemental Hall. However, he had not expected this Ice God to belong to the Elemental Hall's line.

In the end, Tang San could not afford to offend the Elemental Hall and could only end the meeting. After all, there were several first-class gods on that side. What if provoking them caused the Elemental Hall to support the God of Destruction?

Watching Tang San leave the meeting, the God of Destruction felt immensely satisfied.

The God of Kindness and the God of Evil had already run off somewhere unknown, leaving only the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life behind.

"Next time, let's go see that god from another world. It's rare to see the Sea God like this."

Once he saw the Goddess of Life finish clearing the tea set from the table, the God of Destruction went to her side. Massaging her shoulders and tying up her hair, he moved with practiced ease.

"Little Purple, the Sea God doesn't have any ill intentions either."

The Goddess of Life glanced at the God of Destruction and spoke helplessly. She did not believe he wanted to go down merely to take a look. He probably also intended to recruit that god under his command.

"Ah."

The Goddess of Life sighed helplessly. She did not want to interfere too much in the conflict between the God of Destruction and the Sea God. Their ideals differed, and there was nothing she could do.

The God of Destruction intended to expand the Divine Realm and accept more gods, while the Sea God feared that some of those gods would harbor evil intentions and refused to allow expansion. Their conflict had continued without resolution to this day.

Tang San claimed that the Divine Realm would face a great calamity in the future, but no one besides him could sense it. There was simply no evidence whatsoever.

Moreover, the God of Destruction had said it himself: once the Divine Realm expanded, what great calamity would their Divine Realm be unable to resolve?

Expanding the Divine Realm would inevitably result in casualties. As the Goddess of Life, she naturally did not wish for that, but the God of Destruction was her husband after all. She could not say much and could only wait for the two to decide a victor.

Fortunately, both the God of Destruction and the Sea God knew their limits. They probably would not truly come to blows.

Sea God Temple...

"Third Brother, what's wrong? Was it that Destruction fellow again?"

Her long braid draped over her shoulder as Xiao Wu embraced Tang San, who sat upon his divine throne.

"It's nothing. Same old issue."

Tang San shook his head. This meeting had been a complete failure. He had to think of another way to deal with the Ice God and that god from another world.

Suddenly, Tang San felt something strange. With a thought, he saw a blue-pink figure. At this moment, that figure was in Star Luo City.

She can still be used.
