Splendid!

"Asura?"

"You, the law-enforcement god, aren't busy overseeing the lower realms today? What brings you here?"

Dark God was somewhat surprised to see Asura standing at the entrance of his divine hall. "Whatever it is, come in and talk."

His relationship with Asura God was average at best. They were colleagues in the God Realm.

But the Seven Elemental Gods had always remained neutral, so there was no real grudge or conflict between them.

Still, there was one thing Asura had handled rather improperly.

The heir Little Light had taken a liking to had been ruined by Asura.

That had left Little Light stewing in frustration for quite some time.

After finally seeing hope of escaping that "sea of suffering," having it destroyed like that was naturally infuriating.

Asura God followed Dark God into the divine hall. Only after taking a seat did he slowly speak. "What happened before was indeed a little improper. Help me apologize to Light God."

"That wasn't what I wanted either."

"Some lines cannot be crossed. Evil and Destruction think the same."

To put it bluntly, he was telling Dark God not to dump all the blame on him alone.

But he had indeed come to apologize to the two of them today. Whether they accepted it was up to them.

"Since all the Dragon Kings are dead, what's there to worry about?" Dark God replied carelessly.

He truly did not think Yu Xiaogang retracing the Dragon King Path was anything worth worrying over.

"He has to prove himself."

"So I left him a sliver of hope."

Asura God also thought he was excellent material, but he had become entangled with the Dragon Clan.

"?" Dark God genuinely did not know about this. "What's going on?"

"Come with me."

Asura God brought Dark God to the Planar Barrier, separating out a strand of Divine Sense and sending it through the Planar Barrier straight to the Douluo Plane.

The moment Dark God saw what Asura God was doing, he immediately spoke. "Well, well, Asura God. Breaking the law while enforcing it?"

"How is this breaking the law?"

"I'm observing a high-risk target. This is a compliant operation."

"You'll understand once you take a look."

Dark God stared intently at Asura God. "You're not going to arrest me the next second, are you?"

"I'll show you something."

Asura God showed Dark God the scene he had stored earlier.

It was exactly what Yu Xiaogang had said to Bibi Dong.

"Rakshasa is stingy and petty, toys with people's hearts, and relies entirely on crooked tricks?"

"Choosing me is better than inheriting Rakshasa Godhood?"

"I, Dark God, am righteous and generous?"

What he cared about now was no longer whether Yu Xiaogang had died. What he cared about was Yu Xiaogang's evaluation of him, Dark God.

He was overjoyed. "Hahahahahaha! Good boy, you've got an eye for people!"

"I was wondering why Rakshasa had gone mad again. So it really was connected to you."

"This kid even sealed Rakshasa's inherited Divine Sense?"

"Looks like even after reincarnation, this kid's temper hasn't changed at all."

Dark God burst into laughter. "Splendid!"

He decisively split off a strand of Divine Sense and followed Asura God's lead.

Asura God was right. This was not a violation; they were conducting a compliant observation of a high-risk target!

They were not afraid even if others came. Either arrest both him and Asura, or pretend they had seen nothing.

Very soon, the two strands of Divine Sense found Yu Xiaogang.

The scene remained as it had been moments ago. Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong were still within the Papal Palace.

Naturally, his first glance fell upon Yu Xiaogang.

"?"

"I think you people have gone insane." As soon as Dark God examined Yu Xiaogang's condition, he turned and said this to Asura God.

"What makes you say that?"

"You still have the nerve to ask?" Dark God truly felt that those people had all gone mad. "Why does he carry the aura of the Gold Dragon King?"

"No matter how the Light Sacred Dragon mutates, can it mutate into the Gold Dragon King's bloodline?"

"If you told me he had gained Ultimate Fire, or even an Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, I'd believe you."

Yu Xiaogang's relationship with the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King was good. Dark God was one of those who knew about it.

But no matter how the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King changed, they could not produce an Ultimate Strength attribute.

One had Ultimate Fire, the other Ultimate Ice, yet you were telling him that Yu Xiaogang had gained neither of those, but Ultimate Strength instead?

Had he gone mad, or had Dark God gone mad?

If he still did not understand that this was Asura's handiwork, then he might as well stop being Dark God and kill himself.

"Destruction and Evil are just letting you mess around like this?"

He truly could not understand it.

"Oh, the two of them don't know."

"?"

"You might as well just lock me up directly." Dark God felt like he was finished.

Now that he knew, he either had to become Asura's accomplice or go to prison.

There was no third option.

"Don't be so hasty. Don't you want to cast off the burden of Godhood together with Light?" Asura God coaxed him patiently. "Wouldn't these two heirs be perfect?"

"..."

He had just examined Bibi Dong's aptitude.

Top-tier Twin Martial Souls, two Spider Emperors, and at her age, she already had the potential of a level ninety-five Titled Douluo. She truly could become Dark God's heir.

"You need to give me the full picture. What exactly are you trying to do?"

"And I know Yu Xiaogang's temperament. He wants to create a Self-Created Godhood. Do you have some way to make him choose to inherit Little Light's Godhood?"

He was beginning to lose track of what Asura wanted.

"It's only a Gold Dragon King's Origin Fragment, just a somewhat larger one."

"If he can prove that he will not be affected by the Gold Dragon King, then naturally I will not oppose his ascension to godhood."

He did not know what Evil and Destruction thought, but that was indeed his only concern.

If Yu Xiaogang could prove he would not be affected by the Gold Dragon King, then what was wrong with allowing him to become a god?

Besides, such excellent material was no worse than the person he had chosen.

Of course, he could not possibly tell Dark God about this.

Otherwise, it would truly become ironclad evidence that he had broken the law.

"Continue. I'm listening." Dark God waited for Asura's further explanation.

If Asura could persuade him, then for the sake of himself and Little Light, it was not impossible for him to join Asura in making a big move.

"Then let's discuss the matter of your two Godhoods."

"Look, you can choose Bibi Dong as your heir. A genius like her becoming your heir does not diminish your standing."

"Doesn't Yu Xiaogang want to create a Self-Created Godhood? If he proves himself, why not give him another push?"

"A First-Level God is not enough for him, so why not let him become a God King?"

Dark God interrupted, "What do you mean, let him become a God King? He doesn't even want to inherit Light Godhood. How can he raise Light Godhood to the God King level?"

"We can be flexible." An inscrutable smile appeared on Asura God's face.

"If his Dragon King Godhood merges with Light Godhood, upgrading that Godhood to the God King level will not be a problem."

With his discernment, he naturally knew that if Yu Xiaogang's Godhood had succeeded back then, it would have been at the First-Level God tier, and an exceptionally powerful First-Level God at that.

On that foundation, adding the source power and law authority of Light Godhood would absolutely allow it to reach the God King level.

And the more outstanding he became, the stronger Asura's heir would become. That would benefit you, me, and everyone else, wouldn't it?
