The turmoil and dispute before Sea God's Palace slowly came to an end, and the surging tides of divine power gradually settled.

Tang San, who had just been furious and grim-faced, his body radiating icy pressure, slowly shed his hostility and returned to the usual calm indifference of the God Realm's law enforcer.

The anger in those eyes as deep as the sea receded, leaving only an unfathomable stillness, without the slightest trace of emotion.

He raised his gaze, looking across the empty hall toward the petite figure at the entrance, who was clutching the Goddess of Life's skirt tightly and only dared to poke out her little head to sneak glances at him. He spoke evenly:

"Tang Wutong, why aren't you coming over? What kind of behavior is hiding behind Life? Do you think your father is going to eat you?"

His voice was not loud, but it carried the unique authority of a God King and rang steadily throughout the entire palace plaza.

Tang Wutong, hiding behind the Goddess of Life, instinctively shrank her neck. Her little lips secretly puckered as she muttered in a low voice:

"Not necessarily... Who knows whether the old man will settle the score afterward."

As soon as those words fell, the Goddess of Life, who had remained gentle and composed all along, finally could not maintain her dignified bearing. Covering her red lips, she let out a soft laugh.

Her eyes curved into crescents, shimmering with gentle light.

That faint smile diluted the tense atmosphere from the earlier confrontation, making her appear all the more tender and captivating.

She raised her hand and gently rubbed the little girl's soft long hair, her fingertips brushing over her slightly tense face as she soothed her softly:

"Silly girl, go over there. Your father is a dignified God King. His word carries weight, and he naturally keeps his promises. He would never vent his anger on you without cause."

Tang Wutong blinked her large, moist eyes, though a trace of unease and hesitation still lingered in them.

Her little hand still gripped the Goddess of Life's skirt tightly, while her feet seemed nailed to the ground, and she did not dare take a step forward.

She knew her father too well. He usually looked gentle and fair, but when he got serious, he was the most grudging person of all.

Tang San took in her cautious appearance, and an imperceptibly ugly look flashed through his eyes.

Then he deliberately darkened his expression slightly and calmly threw out the one condition Tang Wutong could not resist:

"What? If you're hiding and refusing to come over, are you no longer planning to go to Douluo Continent?"

That sentence struck right at her weakness!

All her previous unease and fear were instantly tossed beyond the clouds by Tang Wutong.

Going to Douluo Continent to play had been a wish she had been planning for a long time!

Her eyes immediately lit up. Forgetting her fear in an instant, she released the skirt she had been clutching and hurried several steps toward Tang San like a cheerful little deer in the forest.

The girl's figure was delicate and lively, her exquisite, breathtakingly beautiful face lifted high.

Her clear, lively eyes sparkled as she looked at Tang San, filled with anticipation and obedient sweetness.

Her long hair swayed gently with her movements. Her brows and eyes were bright, and she stood there prettily, so obedient it was almost unbelievable, so beautiful that no one could look away.

Seeing his daughter so overjoyed and completely unguarded, Tang San felt a complicated mix of emotions.

All the reprimands he had prepared caught in his throat, and for a moment, he did not know how to begin.

His face remained impassive, but the calculations in his heart grew clearer and more resolute.

A moment later, the Goddess of Life smiled faintly and exchanged glances with the God of Destruction, who had quietly watched the entire scene, and Li Changsheng, whose expression was slightly helpless.

The three of them tactfully did not linger any longer. They quietly turned and left, leaving the entire space of Sea God's Palace to the father and daughter alone.

Only after the auras of the three figures had completely faded into the distance, the sea of clouds returning to tranquility and no outsiders remaining before Sea God's Palace, did Tang San withdraw all his outward calmness.

He looked seriously at Tang Wutong before him and slowly asked in a deep voice:

"Have you truly made up your mind to go to Douluo Continent and gain some experience?"

Tang Wutong nodded hard, her head bobbing decisively, her eyes full of yearning. "Mm-hm! I've wanted to visit the lower realm for a long time! I've already gotten tired of wandering around the God Realm. The lower realm must be especially fun!"

After saying that, she seemed to suddenly recall the earlier argument. She lifted her little face and looked at Tang San warily, asking in a low voice, "Dad, then you agreed? You won't trick me and change your mind afterward, refusing to let me go, right?"

Seeing his daughter's pure and innocent appearance, Tang San put on a gentle expression and answered with certainty, "When has your father ever lied to you? Do you think I am someone who breaks his word?"

Tang Wutong blinked her big eyes and pondered seriously and carefully for a moment.

Then she nodded very sincerely and answered in a crisp voice, "Yes!"

Boom!

That single word instantly turned Tang San's face completely black.

The Sea God's pressure around him, which had only just calmed, began churning again in restrained fury, and the air instantly froze.

He held the positions of two gods and stood at the pinnacle of law enforcement in the God Realm. Throughout his life, he had acted openly and honorably, adhered strictly to the rules, and had always been respected and feared by others. When had anyone ever exposed him so bluntly and questioned his credibility like this?

Yet the one who had said it was his own biological daughter, whom he had personally raised and doted on!

He had truly brought this upon himself and could not voice his suffering!

Tang San's temple twitched faintly. He felt helpless and stifled, yet he could not lose his temper, so he could only forcefully suppress his surging emotions.

He knew full well that arguing right and wrong with a child was pointless, so he simply stopped dwelling on the awkward subject.

Thus, he changed the topic and went straight to the matter he truly cared about, asking:

"Then tell your father, what do you think of Li Changsheng?"

This question carried hidden meaning. It was the most important thing he truly wanted to ask today.

Tang San had already thought it all through.

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life had always loved Tang Wutong dearly, treating her as if she were their own daughter.

Today, they had openly supported her and had even directly stated that they wanted to take her as their goddaughter.

That was enough to show that Destruction and Life had long since held no objection whatsoever to this tacitly approved marriage, and even welcomed it.

Now that all obstacles from both sides' elders had been cleared away, the only things left to handle were his own daughter's feelings and Li Changsheng's attitude.

As the old saying went, when a man pursued a woman, mountains and rivers stood between them; when a woman pursued a man, only a thin veil separated them.

Tang Wutong was naturally innocent and straightforward, with a pure heart.

As long as he made his daughter completely fall for and rely on Li Changsheng, this second-generation god with boundless potential and the bloodline of two God Kings would surely be his for the taking!

At that thought, a deep, ambitious smile that no one noticed quietly flashed through Tang San's eyes.

As long as he brought about the marriage between Tang Wutong and Li Changsheng, binding the two families completely together and mingling their bloodlines, then the Tang Family would inherit the four supreme divine positions of the Sea God, Asura God, God of Destruction, and Goddess of Life in succession.

One family, four God Kings—and perhaps, in the future, the grand spectacle of five God Kings!

By then, no one in the entire God Realm would be able to contend with him!

He, Tang San, would become the true supreme ruler of the God Realm, controlling all things and looking down upon the heavens!

He was determined to secure this top-tier deal with guaranteed returns!

How could Tang Wutong possibly know that her father harbored such far-reaching and meticulous schemes?

Tilting her head at his question, she earnestly recalled the moments she had spent with Li Changsheng. Her brows curved as she answered in a sincere and lighthearted tone:

"Changsheng is great! He's gentle and strong, and he never bullies me. Whenever I'm bored, he plays with me. Uncle Purple and Aunt Green dote on him a lot too. He's my best friend in the God Realm!"

The girl's pure, clean assessment made the calculation in Tang San's eyes grow even more certain.

Very good.

The foundation of affection was already there. Next, he only needed to arrange things naturally, letting the two accompany and depend on each other in the lower realm, share hardship together, and become deeply bound by love, inseparable forever!
