Life and Destruction's Double-Team Beating

One carried a formidable pressure like destruction and thunder, while the other bore a gentle aura like vegetation and life.

Two figures walked into the hall side by side. They were the Destruction God and the Life Goddess.

The Destruction God was powerfully built, with white hair cascading behind his shoulders and faint purple arcs of electricity winding around his body.

He swept his gaze over the three people present, then strode to his seat and sat down.

The Life Goddess was far gentler. Her green hair flowed like a waterfall, her brows and eyes were soft, and she lightly took her seat beside the Destruction God.

Once seated, the Destruction God spoke first, his tone mild. "Tang San, why did you convene the Divine Realm Committee? Is there something important you wish to discuss?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Evil God King and the Kindness Goddess both turned their gazes toward Tang San.

Tang San looked at the Destruction God, fell silent for two breaths, then asked directly, "Destruction, have you and the Life Goddess passed down your god positions?"

The moment those words fell, the air in the hall froze.

The Destruction God's eyes narrowed sharply, and a dangerous glint flashed through the depths of his purple pupils.

His voice turned colder, carrying an obvious note of interrogation. "Sea God, have you been spying on Xiaolu and me?"

The Life Goddess's expression changed slightly as well.

Though she was gentle by nature and had always stayed above worldly disputes.

No one would feel comfortable being secretly watched.

A rare trace of displeasure surfaced in her green eyes.

Tang San's expression remained unchanged as he shook his head. "No, you're overthinking it. I neither have the energy nor the intention. I merely... happened to see it."

Naturally, he would not tell the truth.

He could not possibly say that he had left contingencies behind on Douluo Star and had been secretly monitoring every development on that continent.

He had even planned to turn Douluo Star entirely into his own private garden.

Such thoughts could never be spoken aloud, not even before the Divine Realm Committee.

The Life Goddess concealed the displeasure in her eyes and returned to her gentle tone. "Then, Sea God, what is it that you wish to say?"

Tang San forcibly suppressed the surging fury in his heart and tried to keep his voice calm. "I want to ask you: why did you pass down your god positions?"

The Destruction God was practically angered into laughter.

He leaned back, folded his arms across his chest, and spoke with undisguised mockery. "Why can't we pass down our god positions? Has the Divine Realm ever had a rule forbidding God Kings from passing on their positions? If so, then how did you, Tang San, climb to where you are now? Didn't Asura yield his position to you?"

Those words were like a resounding slap across Tang San's face, making his complexion shift from green to white.

He was left speechless. After several breaths of silence, he could only barely change tack and continue pressing the issue. "Even so, you can't pass your god positions to the same person! Don't you understand the consequences of having two God King positions in one body?"

This time, even the Life Goddess could not hold back.

She raised her eyes to Tang San. Her tone remained gentle, but her words carried hidden barbs. "Sea God, what about you? Aren't you also a dual god in one body? The Sea God and Asura God positions both reside within you. If, according to what you just said, the Divine Realm has a rule that two deities cannot choose the same successor, then shouldn't you first separate one of the god positions you possess?"

She paused, her voice soft yet every word clear. "Based on the order of succession, you should relinquish the Asura God position. Then I can also reclaim the succession of my god position. Sea God, what do you think?"

They had not considered passing down their god positions before because they had not been able to find suitable candidates.

They were husband and wife. If they were going to leave, naturally they had to leave together. That was why, of the original five old-timers, only the two of them remained.

Since that was the case, they naturally would not let go so easily.

After all, if they missed this chance, who knew how long they would have to wait before encountering another suitable candidate?

Hearing their answers and counterquestions, Tang San's face went completely dark.

He opened his mouth, wanting to refute them, only to realize that none of his arguments could stand.

The Destruction God and the Life Goddess had worked together seamlessly, leaving him completely cornered.

Every sentence precisely struck at the problems he himself had, leaving him with no room to argue.

Sitting in the seat of honor, he clenched and released his hands several times before finally forcing out one sentence. "You..."

The Destruction God raised a brow, his tone leisurely. "What? Does the Sea God have any further advice?"

Tang San closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened them again, most of the gloom on his face had receded.

He pulled out a forced smile. "No. Since you have already decided, I naturally have no objections."

Though he said he had no objections, the fist clenched beneath the table, its knuckles white, betrayed his true emotions.

The Life Goddess and the Destruction God exchanged a glance but said nothing more.

Within the hall of the Divine Realm Committee, a long and silent confrontation ensued.

Outside the windows, the sea of clouds churned beneath boundless golden light. Yet the atmosphere inside the hall was colder and heavier than the abyss.

After returning to the Sea God Palace, Tang San's expression instantly darkened to the extreme.

He stood alone in the center of the hall, silent for a moment, then...

Boom!

A violent surge of divine power suddenly erupted from his body, sweeping in every direction like raging waves!

The tables, chairs, furnishings, and decorations in the hall turned to dust the instant they came into contact with that divine power, leaving not even scraps behind.

Dense cracks spread across the walls, while the jade tiles on the floor shattered inch by inch.

The entire Sea God Palace shook violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Why!"

Tang San slammed a fist into the stone pillar beside him.

The thick pillar snapped at once. Its upper half crashed down onto the floor, kicking up clouds of dust.

"I painstakingly laid out all those plans—for what? Wasn't it to turn Douluo Star into my private garden, to let my bloodline enjoy glory forever? And what happened? Those two old fools actually decided to quit at a time like this, and even passed their god positions to the same person!"

He gritted his teeth, blazing fury burning in his eyes. His twisted expression was terrifying.

He was completely unlike the refined and compassionate Sea God he usually appeared to be.

Although he possessed both the Sea God and Asura God positions, and both were at the God King level.

There were still differences among God Kings.

The Asura God position was indeed powerful. Like Destruction and Life, it belonged to the God King level, and the gap between them was not great.

But the Sea God position was different.

The Sea God had ultimately risen from a first-class deity. Even after ten thousand years of accumulation and the Divine Realm's empowerment, it had only barely reached the threshold of a God King.

Compared with Destruction and Life, the two most ancient God Kings in the universe, it still lagged considerably in both foundation and authority.

This was evident from the fact that whenever he fought, he almost always used the Asura God position rather than the Sea God position.

And now, the Destruction God and the Life Goddess were actually going to pass their god positions to the same person!

What did that mean?

It meant that, in the near future, the Divine Realm would produce a dual God King who wielded both the great authorities of destruction and life!
