God Realm Committee

As long as the King of Slaughter devoured Su Qi, who possessed the Asura Legacy Soul Bone, perhaps he could once again earn the Shura God's recognition and become the Shura God's inheritor again.

After all, when Deities passed on their positions, they were usually desperate to escape the constraints of the God Realm.

In that case, the Shura God probably did not care who his inheritor was. He only cared about who could take over the divine position!

He could abandon the King of Slaughter, and he could abandon Su Qi just as easily!!

As the thought settled, the despair in Bibi Dong's heart instantly vanished, replaced by an imperceptible scheme hidden in her eyes.

She planned to deceive Su Qi into absorbing the entire set of soul bones first, then have him condense the Asura God Armor.

Then, she would pretend to send Su Qi into Slaughter City for training and have the King of Slaughter devour him. That way, he would possess the complete Asura Demon Sword and Asura God Armor.

And the King of Slaughter would surely help her destroy Spirit Hall, even the entire Douluo Continent!

Even if this plan failed, she could stay out of it just as she had when Ye Fan died, shifting all the hatred onto the King of Slaughter.

"Pope, if you do not want to stand guard for me, then go back." Su Qi's voice interrupted Bibi Dong's thoughts.

Snapping out of her revenge scheme, Bibi Dong deliberately showed weakness. "Holy Son, you are the Shura God's inheritor. It is an honor to stand guard for you. How could I be unwilling? Please hurry and absorb the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, Holy Son, lest someone set their sights on it!"

"The Angel Clan is not as radiant as it appears. Behind the scenes, they are capable of every filthy deed!"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong glanced at Qian Daoliu across from her, clearly intending to divert the disaster born of her schemes onto him.

Qian Daoliu ignored Bibi Dong's provocation. After all, what his son Qian Xunji had done was indeed far too filthy and disgraceful, so he had no grounds to argue.

It would not do if Su Qi misunderstood.

Composing himself, Qian Daoliu smiled faintly at Su Qi. "Child, quickly absorb the spirit ring. I will stand guard for you."

"Thank you both." As he spoke, Su Qi lightly tapped the space between his brows with his index finger, and the crimson sword mark emerged once more.

A fist-sized ball of crimson light flew out from the sword mark. It then hovered in midair and transformed into a crimson God-Bestowed Spirit Ring.

Drawing the spirit ring into his body, Su Qi sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes in meditation.

Two purple and two black spirit rings, four in total, lit up around him at the same time.

Immediately afterward, the crimson God-Bestowed Spirit Ring around him gradually turned black.

His original configuration of two purple and two black spirit rings was changing toward two purple and three black spirit rings.

Feeling the spirit ring's energy transform his body, Su Qi was overjoyed.

Once the spirit ring stabilized, he would advance to a Five-Ring Soul King and become the first miracle in the continent's history to break through to Soul King at the age of seven.

Meanwhile, high above in the distant God Realm, within the Asura Temple.

Through the Divine Mirror, the Asura God Statue watched Su Qi's five flashing spirit rings as though admiring a piece of porcelain he had painstakingly crafted. He wished he could add the very best things to it and make it flawless.

Suddenly, vast divine power descended outside the Asura Temple like an ocean, taking the form of Sea God Poseidon. He transmitted his voice through divine sense. "Shura, you are getting bolder and bolder."

"Su Qi only completed the Asura First Trial, not the ninth trial, yet you left the God Realm without authorization and personally awarded him the Divine Trial rewards. Even if you are a Law Enforcer God, are you not being too biased?"

Just as the Sea God said, the Shura God had personally entered Su Qi's spiritual world and granted him the Asura Legacy Soul Bone as an additional reward. This was against the rules.

When he had deceived Su Qi by claiming it was merely a strand of divine thought, it had only been to put Su Qi at ease.

However, since the Shura God had dared to break the rules in plain sight, he naturally had a response prepared.

Later, he would go to the God Realm Committee and explain the situation truthfully, mentioning his intention to issue Su Qi an Asura God Trial related to the Golden Dragon King Seal.

That way, not only would he not have broken the rules, but the Goddess of Kindness and Evil God, the two God Kings, would praise him for being responsible.

Thinking that the Sea God knew nothing and was stirring up trouble at his door like a resentful woman, the Shura God said with amusement, "Sea God, what madness are you up to now? Spit it out if you have something to say. If you come to my Asura Temple without permission again, do not blame me for forgetting we are neighbors and beating you senseless!"

At those words, the Sea God immediately backed down. He knew he could not defeat the Shura God, and even complaining to the God Realm Committee would gain him nothing. So he went straight to the point. "I have been observing the lower realm these past few days and discovered that none of the sea spirit masters of Sea God Island's lineage qualify to begin the Sea God's Nine Trials."

"Only Tang San, this twin martial soul bearer, possesses outstanding talent and a strange cultivation method. As long as I pave the way for him a little, he still qualifies to begin the Sea God's Nine Trials."

"Especially his master, Yu Xiaogang. That man is simply a masterpiece among mortals. With one insignificant theory, he has turned Tang San's future into a fog of uncertainty."

"Now that I want to intervene, it no longer counts as interfering with a mortal's fate."

"Shura, since you broke the God Realm's rules for Su Qi, you must have decided to support him, right? For the sake of our shared misfortune, can you give Tang San, whom you had considered as a backup, to me?"

"Tang San?" The Shura God hurriedly distanced himself. "I do not know him. Sea God, do not speak nonsense. I am afraid Little Su might misunderstand. I do not know who this Tang San is, but if you have taken a liking to him, that is your business. I cannot control it."

"Little Su?" Muttering those words, the Sea God's face filled with a strange expression. He seemed to have completely lost his divinity, and his expression was almost comical.

After a moment of silence, the Sea God finally realized that Little Su was probably Su Qi.

That old Shura actually called his inheritor something so intimate?

Had he taken the wrong medicine?

Su Qi had only completed the Asura First Trial. His affinity with the Shura God could not possibly exceed ten percent.

Even when affinity exceeded one hundred percent, no Deity had ever addressed an inheritor so intimately!

Could Su Qi have fed the Shura God some kind of bewitching potion?

Or was Su Qi actually the Shura God's illegitimate son, sent to the Mortal Realm?

Otherwise, how could he possess the Innate Shura Sacred Body and receive such attention from the Shura God?

Setting aside those doubts for the moment, the Sea God smiled. He did not care what was going on between the Shura God and Su Qi.

Since the Shura God had already distanced himself from Tang San, he could make his move on Tang San!

Just as the Sea God rejoiced, an overbearing killing intent rushed toward him, brushing past his shoulder before taking the form of the Shura God.

Compared to the Sea God's water-like gentleness, the Shura God was more imposing and domineering. The two gods stood back-to-back, instantly dyeing the surroundings outside the Asura Temple half red and half blue.

The Shura God cast a cold glance at the Sea God behind him before transforming into a streak of blood-red light and flying away.

"Shura, where are you going?" the Sea God asked curiously.

"The God Realm Committee."

The cold, majestic voice faded away as the blood-red light formed by the Shura God shot toward the God Realm Committee's palace.

"Nothing major has happened in the God Realm lately, has it? Is that old Shura rushing to the God Realm Committee to turn himself in? Whatever."

With that, the Sea God transformed into a streak of blue light and vanished, returning to the Sea God Temple to begin paving the way for Tang San to undertake the Sea God's Nine Trials.

Elsewhere, in the central region of the God Realm, a towering palace shimmered with faint golden radiance beneath the God Realm's halo.

This was the highest point in the entire God Realm and the place that controlled everything within it.

The God Realm Committee held the duty of judging the gods, as well as managing the God Realm and maintaining its rules.

At this moment, inside the God Realm Committee's palace.

The five supreme beings of the God Realm sat around a round table shaped like swirling clouds, discussing something.

The Deity who had convened this meeting was none other than the Shura God, one of the five supreme beings of the God Realm.

The other four supreme beings of the God Realm were the Goddess of Kindness, Evil God, God of Destruction, and Goddess of Life.

The God of Destruction, clad in a large purple cloak, spoke first. "Shura, this is rare. You spend every day thinking about quitting, yet you actually took the initiative to convene the God Realm Committee. What wind is blowing today?"

"Destruction, I am still a Law Enforcer God. I am not as neglectful of my duties as you make me out to be!" A glint flashed through the Shura God's domineering eyes as he said calmly, "I convened this meeting for the sake of my inheritor and the Golden Dragon King Seal."

At the mention of the "Golden Dragon King Seal," it was not only the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life sitting beside him who reacted.

Even the Goddess of Kindness and Evil God, the two God Kings who held authority over the God Realm Committee, could not help but frown, their expressions immediately turning solemn.
