Rejection

Li Changqing arrived at the deepest part of the Worship Hall and looked at the tall Angel God Statue in front of him.

"I'd like to see what the Five Great God Kings' attitude is."

As he spoke, Li Changqing channeled his power, triggering the Angel God Statue.

The Angel God Statue suddenly burst forth with a blazing golden light, and a sacred aura instantly filled the entire Great Hall.

Immediately afterwards, five more distinct auras emanated from the area.

Some of these auras seemed capable of destroying everything; others contained a rich vitality, as if they were the embodiment of life itself.

Some embody all the evil in the world, as if they themselves are the source of all evil; others represent the purest essence of humanity, signifying innocence and kindness.

There was another aura that Li Changqing was very familiar with—pure Killing Aura.

These five auras perfectly correspond to the divine positions of the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm.

A majestic voice emanated from within the statue, a voice imbued with an aura of destruction; it was the God of Destruction speaking.

"You're the Li Changqing who made Asura suffer?"

Li Changqing smiled, his tone devoid of any humility or the respect expected of the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm, and said indifferently:

"It is I."

In the Divine Realm, the God of Destruction frowned slightly. This Li Changqing had no manners whatsoever; he showed him absolutely no respect.

The Asura God snorted coldly, "I told you, this man is so arrogant, he should be killed directly. If you are unwilling, I will personally descend to the mortal realm and annihilate him."

Li Changqing wasn't afraid at all. "Asura God, don't forget, not long ago, I just beat you so badly you had to run away. A dignified God King being beaten so badly you had to run away, what a disgrace! If you're not satisfied, you can come down to the mortal realm, I'll be waiting for you."

The Asura God was furious, his body erupting with crimson Killing Aura: "What you faced back then was merely a wisp of my Divine Sense. If I were to descend to the mortal realm personally, killing you would be no different than crushing an ant."

"Oh my gosh, I'm so scared. Please, come down and kill me." Li Changqing continued to provoke the Asura God.

The God of Destruction raised a hand to stop the enraged Asura God and continued, "Li Changqing, I am the God of Destruction of the Divine Realm. Do you know that you are facing the Five Great God Kings who rule the Divine Realm?"

Li Changqing remained unchanged, saying calmly, "So?"

Even the God of Destruction couldn't hold back anymore. He knew that the Five Great God Kings who were talking to him were the administrators of the Divine Realm, and Li Changqing was still acting like this. It was simply too presumptuous.

The God of Life, standing beside the God of God of Destruction, hurriedly tried to calm the enraged God of Destruction.

The God of Destruction took a few deep breaths, then signaled for the God of Evil to come.

Another male voice came through the angel. "Li Changqing, you have broken through to the god level and even possess your own divine artifact. According to the rules of the Divine Realm, gods are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the mortal world. Newly promoted gods cannot remain in the mortal world for long; you must go to the Divine Realm immediately."

Li Changqing scoffed; they were planning to lure him to the Divine Realm before making a decision.

"Don't try to fool me. I know that after becoming a god, one can stay in the mortal realm for a hundred years before having to go to the Divine Realm. As the administrators of the Divine Realm, is it really okay for you to lie to someone who has just become a god?"

The God of Evil was speechless; he hadn't expected Li Changqing to even know this.

A gentle female voice then rang out. "There is indeed such a rule, but the premise remains the same: do not interfere in the affairs of the mortal realm."

Li Changqing retorted, "Which of your eyes saw me interfering in the affairs of the lower realms?"

"Furthermore, very few people in the entire Douluo Continent even know of my existence, and even fewer know that I God-Level Strength. How could I possibly interfere in the affairs of the lower realms? I don't care about power, so I certainly won't interfere in the affairs of the lower realms."

The female voice continued, "The sooner you ascend to the Divine Realm, the greater the benefits to the gods. You already possess such strength upon becoming a god; if you undergo the baptism of the Divine Realm, perhaps it won't be long before your strength reaches our level. Don't you yearn for even greater power?"

In any case, the Five Great God Kings wanted Li Changqing to ascend to the Divine Realm first.

"It took me a lot of effort to cultivate to God-Level Strength. I've worked so hard for so long, can't I stay in the lower realm and enjoy myself for a while? Besides, I'm really not used to being managed. I'm unrestrained in the lower realm, but once I go up to the Divine Realm, I'll have to accept the rules and regulations. You have to let me get used to it in the lower realm for a while first."

"However, rest assured, I will absolutely not interfere in affairs during my time in the mortal realm, and once the hundred-year period is up, I will immediately report to the Divine Realm and will not linger any longer."

Apart from the Asura God, the other four God Kings were speechless. They realized that no matter what they said, Li Changqing would not report to the Divine Realm.

The Asura God sneered, "See? He won't come to the Divine Realm. In my opinion, we should just go down to the mortal realm and kill him. Otherwise, he will definitely be a major scourge to the Divine Realm in the future."

The God of Destruction finally asked in a deep voice, "Li Changqing, one last question: what is your view of the Divine Realm?"

Li Changqing shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "I don't care about the Divine Realm."

Li Changqing was telling the truth; as long as you don't provoke him, he doesn't care at all whether the Divine Realm is good or bad.

"We've been talking for so long, and you all know my attitude, so I'm not going to keep you company any longer."

After saying that, Li Changqing immediately cut off the communication.

The Divine Realm was utterly silent.

The God of Destruction was panting heavily, clearly enraged by Li Changqing.

"This Li Changqing is far too arrogant."

The God of Life comforted him, saying, "At least, judging from his indifferent attitude just now, he shouldn't be an enemy of the Divine Realm."

The God of Evil, "Then so be it. As long as he follows the rules of the Divine Realm and has no intention of being an enemy of the Divine Realm, let him stay in the mortal realm for a hundred years."

The Asura God sneered, "That's not necessarily true. People can change. After a hundred years, he might become an enemy of the Divine Realm."

However, the other four great God King ignored the Asura God, so the Asura God had no choice but to give up.

Worship Hall Great Hall, Qian Daoliu led Golden Crocodile and five others to wait.

In addition, there was another person outside the Great Hall.

This person had a bewitching appearance, wore golden armor, and exuded femininity in every movement. If it weren't for the prominent Adam's apple on her neck, one would definitely think she was a woman.

This effeminate man was Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan. He and the Gui Mei were sent by Bibi Dong to wait for Li Changqing.

But after seeing the seven worshippers waiting outside the Great Hall, the Gui Mei went back to report to Bibi Dong.

The Golden Crocodile's left arm has been successfully reattached by a healing Soul Master. This was thanks to Li Changqing's kindness; otherwise, the Golden Crocodile's arm would never have been reattached.

Qian Daoliu was pacing back and forth outside the hall, extremely worried that this was a trap set for Li Changqing.

If that were to happen, and a fight were to break out in the Spirit Hall, the entire Spirit Hall, and even the entire Spirit City, would likely be destroyed.

The gate slowly opened, Li Changqing stepped out.

Qian Daoliu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Changqing walk out unharmed and that there had been no violent fluctuations in the Great Hall.

"Luckily, it wasn't a scheme, and a fight didn't break out."
