Life God Trial

The Goddess of Life said softly, "I believe in you, and I believe she can complete my divine trial and bring hope to the God Realm and soul beasts. But for the next while, don't use divine power to observe the lower realm anymore. I'm afraid the Sea God and the others will make an issue of it."

Although the gods brought by Sea God Tang San were merely a small faction, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, who held lofty positions in the God Realm, had no reason to fear them. However, a new official was bound to make a show of force, and the Seven Original Sin Gods on their side were not particularly well-liked.

As a result, even the reputation of the God of Destruction—whose temper had always been bad despite his sharp tongue and soft heart—had suffered.

Fortunately, the Goddess of Life had built goodwill far and wide, and her reputation for blessing newborns had spread throughout the God Realm. That was why those gods did not dare speak openly in front of everyone.

"I understand. For our child's sake, I'll yield to the Sea God and keep the Seven Original Sin Gods in line."

When the God of Destruction spoke of the Original Sin Gods, a rare trace of awkward helplessness appeared on his face. He angrily pondered how to make his subordinates behave during this period and stop tarnishing his and the Goddess of Life's reputations.

"I hope so."

Thinking of the Seven Original Sin Gods, who worshipped the God of Destruction beyond measure, the God of Life suddenly felt a headache coming on as well.

The Seven Original Sin Gods, renowned throughout the God Realm, were: the God of Greed, the God of Sloth, the God of Arrogance, the God of Envy, the God of Gluttony, the God of Lust, and the God of Wrath.

Because of the authorities they wielded, they often, like the God of Destruction, could not restrain their own natures. They frequently caused incidents that required the God Realm's administrators to clean up after them.

Among them, the two gods who gave the God of Life the greatest headaches were none other than the Level One Gods of Gluttony and Arrogance.

One was a little fellow who loved stuffing everything into his mouth and would cry and whine about hunger if he did not eat. The other was an arrogant bastard with no limits, constantly provoking other gods. The two had offended far too many gods—so many that the God of Life could not count them all at once.

This showed why, not long after the Sea God had brought those gods into the God Realm, they had so easily gained the support and recognition of other gods. It was simply because his own group had no allies dragging them down.

Whether it was the God of Food or the Nine-Colored Goddess, the abilities they possessed were more likely to earn the favor of other gods. This was something their side currently lacked and needed to improve.

The Goddess of Life, who had once only wanted to live a good life with the God of Destruction, suddenly came to a realization. After all these years of struggling in the God Realm, their private reputation was actually worse than that of the Sea God, who had only recently arrived in the God Realm.

That would not do!

The Goddess of Life would not tolerate anyone slandering the God of Destruction, who had spent most of his life toiling for the God Realm! This was something she could not endure, and it was also the principle—the bottom line—she had upheld for most of her life!

"Eternal Armor!"

The suddenly surging life force not only sent the God of Destruction flying, but also allowed the Seven Original Sin Gods in a nearby palace to sense the divine power of their leader's wife. They hurried over with the sleeping God of Sleepiness in tow, gathering to watch the "large-scale" domestic violence spectacle.

"The Goddess used a main god-tier divine artifact. What did the boss do? Are we going to get taken out too?"

Arrogance's devastatingly handsome face fell as he nervously looked at the squinting God of Greed beside him, terrified that the seemingly "furious" Goddess of Life would kill them next.

"Mm... judging by their posture, it doesn't look like they're fighting. They're probably planning something."

True to his name, the God of Greed stared at the Goddess of Life's Eternal Armor with eyes full of greed. I want it so badly. It could definitely sell for a lot of money—so, so much money.

Lust: "Hehe, the Goddess of Life actually has a different kind of desire in her heart. I really want to step closer and observe it carefully!"

Envy: "So jealous, so jealous. The God of Destruction keeps his eyes on the God of Life. It makes me so jealous."

Ignoring the chaotic Seven Original Sin Gods below, the Goddess of Life donned the armor she had summoned and began the ritual of transmitting the God of Life's divine trial to the lower realm.

This act not only stunned the Seven Original Sin Gods who had been watching the show and the bewildered God of Destruction, but also alarmed Sea God Tang San, the God of Goodness, and the God of Evil, who were staying at home.

"I hereby announce that someone in the lower realm has appeared who meets the requirements for the God of Life's divine position assessment. A divine trial is specially bestowed upon them. During the trial, no one may open a passage to the lower realm without authorization, nor assist or interfere with the trial participant's assessment, lest the principles of impartiality, openness, and fairness be compromised!"

The Goddess of Life's words undoubtedly shattered the Sea God's plan to secretly descend to the lower realm and help the Tang Sect. His expression immediately turned incomparably gloomy as he rushed over from afar.

Why had a divine trial suddenly been bestowed out of nowhere? Could it be that the God of Destruction also wanted to retire and live out his old age, no longer managing the God Realm? Just as Sea God Tang San, sensing something strange, was about to speak up and stop the Goddess of Life from closing the God Realm's gate, the Seven Original Sin Gods, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward and shared half of their divine power to reinforce the barrier.

Not only that, before the Sea God, the God of Goodness, and the God of Evil, they jointly placed an Original Sin Curse upon the seal.

"We swear upon our origins that whoever opens the seal without authorization shall surely be cursed by the combined Original Sin power of Greed, Sloth, Arrogance, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, and Wrath!"

This time, not only did Tang San's expression stiffen, but even the God of Evil and the God of Goodness became grave.

A sealing curse cast by seven Level One Gods would require even a God King to put in considerable effort, much less with the Goddess of Life specifically summoning the Eternal Armor to bolster her life divine power.

It seemed that for Ten Thousand Years, they could forget about using divine power to observe the lower realm. Who knew just how precious the heir the Goddess of Life had found was? It would have been one thing if she had merely refrained from secretly giving them special treatment, but she even forbade others from using divine power to observe the assessment. That was a little too fair, wasn't it?

However, considering that the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction themselves represented fairness in the God Realm, the God of Goodness and the God of Evil asked a few casual questions before bidding farewell to the Sea God and the others and returning to their residence.

As for Tang San, the pure and upright law enforcer of the God Realm, even though he wanted to probe the Goddess of Life about who her chosen heir was and where they came from, the ever wife-protective God of Destruction would not allow his sworn enemy to ask.

After learning that the Goddess of Life had bestowed a divine trial and left behind her aura, the God of Destruction waved a hand and took everyone away from the sealed area, leaving Tang San alone to fume helplessly.

This stifling frustration filled Tang San's heart, making him realize even more that Xiao Wu and their child had to go to the lower realm and gain the favor of the child of destiny to accomplish the God Realm's grand plan! Lin Wan'er, deep in a sweet dream, was struck by a green beam from the sky. Before her mind could recover, her body fell to the ground from inertia, sending a shower of fallen leaves flying.

"Who dares sneak attack me?! Just wait until I unleash Scarlet King on you!"
