The two exchanged a glance, and both saw the same helplessness and realization in each other's eyes.

Only at this moment did they truly understand that profound saying passed down in the lower realm.

Humans were humans, gods were gods. Do not treat gods as humans, nor compare humans to gods.

In the past, they had occupied divine thrones and pitied all living beings, yet they had never been able to fully grasp the deeper meaning of those words.

But today, witnessing Tang San's utter detachment and extreme severance firsthand, they understood in an instant.

The four words "humans and gods are different" were embodied in Tang San with vivid, bone-piercing clarity!

Mortal pasts, youthful bonds, ties to old places—all could be discarded without hesitation and cut off completely before a supreme divine throne.

Seeing the two rendered speechless, a trace of hidden pride and smug satisfaction flickered through Tang San's eyes.

This was the transcendence of a God King!

The shackles of mortality and bonds of the past could not restrain him!

At the same time, the doubts in his heart grew increasingly intense as he secretly pondered:

For the Goddess of Life, who had remained gentle and never angered for tens of thousands of years, to fly into a rage, smash through the door, and storm into my Sea God's Palace, this matter must be anything but trivial!

And she had specifically mentioned Shrek Academy, which had long become outdated in the lower realm...

Two key figures immediately flashed through Tang San's mind: Tang Wutong and Li Changsheng!

The two children had only recently set out to train in the lower realm. Hardly any time had passed.

Could something have happened to them down there?

And did it happen to involve Shrek Academy?

But how long had they even been in the lower realm?

Only a fleeting instant had passed. How could such a huge storm have erupted?

He had clearly instructed Da Ming and Er Ming in advance to follow in secret, protect them, oversee the lower realm, and serve as their safeguard.

With two great soul beasts watching over them, how could anything have gone wrong?

Countless doubts, confusion, and irritation swirled through Tang San's heart.

He was bewildered, suspicious, and furious.

He was furious because the Goddess of Life had smashed the doors of Sea God's Palace in public, practically slapping the face of a God King and making him lose all dignity.

Yet he did not dare to truly lose his temper in the slightest.

For standing before him was not merely the Life God King who governed the vitality of heaven and earth. At her side stood the terrifyingly powerful Destruction God King.

If the two supreme God Kings joined forces, then even with two gods fused into one, even as the unrivaled strongest in the Divine Realm, he would absolutely be no match for them.

Thus, even though the rage in his heart surged like a tidal wave, he could only force himself to endure it, suppressing it deep within and not daring to show the slightest hint of it.

After all, he had not ascended to the Divine Realm long ago. Whether in strength or foundation, he could not contend with veteran God Kings.

Much less the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction.

One had exceptional connections, while the other commanded countless forces. If the husband and wife joined hands, let alone dealing with one Asura God like him—even if the current Goddesses of Kindness and Evil were added, it would still be effortless.

After all, the former Goddess of Kindness and Evil God King had merely passed down their divine thrones.

The super divine artifacts they controlled had not been handed over to the current Goddess of Kindness and Evil God King.

Within Sea God's Palace, fragments of shattered divine inscriptions still floated in midair, while the icy pressure of God Kings tightly enveloped the entire hall.

Tang San suppressed all the grievance and helplessness in his heart. Looking at the Goddess of Life, whose face was frosty and who had not shown anger in tens of thousands of years, he composed himself and slowly asked in a cautiously probing tone:

"May I ask, Goddess of Life, what exactly has happened?"

"You stormed into my Sea God's Palace today, broke through its gates in anger, and suddenly brought up Shrek Academy in the lower realm. What is the reason for all this?"

At this moment, he was both bewildered and suspicious.

He had long since severed all ties with mortal matters in the lower realm. Shrek was merely an old place from his past millions of years ago. It could not possibly affect the current order of the Divine Realm, much less provoke a supreme God King into such rage.

But the next moment, the Goddess of Life suddenly raised her eyes. Her beautiful face was filled with absolute coldness and fury.

Then, every word sharp and resounding, carrying outrage suppressed to the extreme, she snapped:

"What happened?"

"Tang San, do you know? Your family has been harboring a ghost!"

Those six short words boomed through Sea God's Palace like thunder!

The air instantly froze, and all turbulent divine power came to a complete standstill.

Tang San froze on the spot, his pupils slightly widening as utter bewilderment and shock filled his face.

His family had been harboring a ghost?

What did that mean?

He was a supreme God King with two gods in one body, commanding judgment and the four seas. He presided over Sea God's Palace and governed the order of all heavens. His home was sacred and flawless, untouched by all evil!

Where could a ghost have come from?

And what did she mean by saying his family had been harboring a ghost?

At this moment, Tang San's mind completely crashed into blankness. He could not understand the deeper meaning behind the Goddess of Life's words at all.

His face was full of confusion, his brows tightly furrowed. Countless questions surged within him, yet he could not find even the faintest clue.

At the side, the God of Destruction could no longer bear to watch his wife anger herself to the point of injury.

He stepped forward. The majestic might of destruction pressed down heavily from his body as he spoke in an ice-cold voice filled with undisguised, chilling fury, directly tearing apart every mystery word by word:

"My Changsheng was mistaken by that damned Shrek Academy in the lower realm—your former old haunt—for an evil soul master, and they even wanted to execute him on the spot!"

Boom!

The moment those words fell, it was as though divine thunder from the ninth heaven had exploded directly in Tang San's mind!

In an instant, Tang San stood completely stunned in place. His divine body stiffened, and his whole being was utterly dumbfounded.

He stood there blankly as the God of Destruction's words echoed madly through his mind.

The son of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction...

A second-generation God King from the very pinnacle of the Divine Realm...

Mistaken by Shrek Academy in the lower realm...

For an evil soul master!

He heard every single word clearly. Every word entered his ears, and none was unfamiliar.

Yet when all those words were strung together, they became so absurd, so outrageous, so utterly ridiculous that he could not understand or process them at all!

He even suspected that he had misheard, that the impact of the shattered palace doors had thrown his thoughts into disorder!

What kind of joke was this?

Li Changsheng!

He was the biological son of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life!

He had been conceived from the origins of two supreme God Kings, born of the purest lineage, with a bloodline that stood above the entire Divine Realm—the finest second-generation God King!

He carried the two supreme great paths of destruction and life, born standing at the absolute peak of all living beings in the heavens.

He was legitimacy among legitimacies, sacredness among sacredness!

And yet!

And yet he had gone to Douluo Continent, the lower realm where Tang San had once lived!

Only to be judged by a group of mortal soul masters with short lifespans and low cultivation, who could not even touch the threshold of Divine Rank!

Judged by one tiny academy in the lower realm!

Convicted with a single word!

Branded outright as an evil soul master!

Tang San's mind buzzed as he fell completely into extreme chaos and incomprehension.

Outrageous!

Far too outrageous!

Absurd!

Absurd to the extreme!

One governed the extinction of all heavens, while the other governed the vitality of all things.

The divine child born to the two oldest and most supreme deities of the Divine Realm was noble beyond ages, sacred beyond compare.

Yet he had been defined as an evil soul master—the most vile and sinister kind in the world—by a group of ant-like mortals using their narrow, shallow perspectives and rigid, decayed rules!

At this moment, even Tang San, a God King whose state of mind had long transcended mortal dust and stood as steady as an ancient divine mountain, was completely dumbfounded.

His expression was vacant and his gaze hollow. He repeatedly chewed over those words in his mind, unable to recover for a long time.

Was there anything in this world more absurd, more laughable, or more humiliating than this?
