"Let's go to the God Realm Committee. I don't have the Divine Realm Center with me!"
The Asura God led the Destruction God King and the Goddess of Life to the God Realm Committee.
The God Realm Committee was both the Divine Realm's highest governing body and the name of the Octagonal Hall where it conducted its affairs.
Since the Asura God rarely used the Divine Realm Center, he had left it at the God Realm Committee rather than carrying it with him.
The last time he had used the Divine Realm Center was when he guided Tang San's soul to reincarnate on the Douluo Continent.
"All right!"
Neither the Destruction God King nor the Goddess of Life found this surprising.
From what they knew of the Asura God, he was undoubtedly impartial in enforcing the law and rarely carried the Divine Realm Center for personal use.
Thus, it was perfectly normal for the Divine Realm Center to be at the God Realm Committee.
They set off together for the God Realm Committee's headquarters.
A short while later, the Destruction God King and the others arrived at the God Realm Committee.
Upon entering, they immediately saw the Divine Realm Center floating in the middle of the hall.
It was a golden pillar of light that also looked somewhat like a star-shaped crystal.
This was the Divine Realm Center.
Strictly speaking, the Divine Realm Center was not an actual object; it could merely manifest in the form of one.
In essence, it was a law core and plane hub condensed from the Divine Realm's origin, serving as the Divine Realm's heart and central control server.
Whoever controlled the Divine Realm Center could not only maintain the stability of the Divine Realm's space and prevent it from breaking apart, but also observe every lower plane, manage the bestowal of divine positions, approve deities' ascensions, and more.
A deity who controlled the Divine Realm Center could even use it to mobilize all the divine power and thought power in the Divine Realm.
For the Destruction God King, who was determined to expand the Divine Realm and increase the number of divine positions within it, the Divine Realm Center was an indispensable key.
Should anything go wrong with the Divine Realm Center, however, the Divine Realm itself would not only face upheaval and collapse, but might also be swept away by spatial turbulence, losing control over the lower realms.
The deities still within the Divine Realm could also find themselves in tremendous danger.
This was why the other God Kings, including the Asura God, opposed the Destruction God King's plan to expand the Divine Realm.
Success would certainly be welcome, but if it failed, the price and consequences would undoubtedly be devastating-almost beyond repair.
Even if the Divine Realm itself suffered no serious harm, there was no guarantee that they, whose lives were so closely bound to it, would escape injury or loss.
This was not something they were willing to try or endure.
"Here, take a look yourselves!"
The Asura God summoned the Divine Realm Center and let the Destruction God King and the Goddess of Life conduct their own investigation.
"All right!"
The Goddess of Life and the Destruction God King did not stand on ceremony.
In the end, the Goddess of Life performed the search herself, using the aura she had previously detected to locate the human on the Douluo Continent who suited her divine position.
As the Goddess of Life began, a screen of light appeared above the Divine Realm Center, displaying a mass of intricate information.
Finally, Ye Lingling's image appeared on the screen generated by the Divine Realm Center, along with all manner of detailed information about her current circumstances.
Even images showing where Ye Lingling was and what she was doing appeared alongside it, making everything clear at a glance.
After seeing all this, the Goddess of Life first froze, then was overcome with delight.
The Destruction God King was likewise utterly astonished and incredulous.
In the end, even the Asura God watched with keen interest, an equally stunned expression on his face.
"Is that... sacred heart begonia?!"
The Asura God exclaimed in surprise.
This was precisely what had shocked them.
As far as they knew, this divine herb existed only in legend; even they had never seen it.
They knew only that sacred heart begonia possessed utterly heaven-defying abilities. One of its most extraordinary powers could even resurrect dead deities, bringing them back to life.
Perhaps it was precisely because sacred heart begonia's abilities were too heaven-defying that even the universe had ultimately forbidden this divine herb from continuing to exist, causing it to vanish from the world.
Even its lesser offshoot, nine heart begonia, had been subjected to certain restrictions and effects.
And now, sacred heart begonia had actually appeared in the world again, right before their eyes?
Even if this was merely a martial soul belonging to a Soul Master on the Douluo Continent rather than a true divine herb, its capabilities could not be underestimated.
More importantly, if the Soul Master possessing the sacred heart begonia martial soul became a deity, the sacred heart begonia would gain a physical existence, truly returning to the world.
Even if that sacred heart begonia still fell short of the actual divine herb, it could certainly become an incredibly powerful Super Divine Artifact.
Such a thing could only be possessed by a God King. Its value was beyond words.
"Someone on the Douluo Continent actually managed to evolve a nine heart begonia martial soul into a sacred heart begonia martial soul?!"
Once his shock subsided, the Asura God could not stop marveling at this.
It was no exaggeration to say that even they might not be able to accomplish such a feat.
Even if they could, there was no guarantee that the universe laws would not intervene, bringing all their efforts to ruin at the final hurdle.
Yet this Ye Lingling had not only accomplished it, but had also successfully avoided the influence of the universe laws?
That fact alone was even more astonishing than the existence of the sacred heart begonia martial soul.
Unfortunately, they could not readily see through the Divine Realm Center what Ye Lingling had used to evolve her nine heart begonia martial soul, or how she had evolved it.
Otherwise, their attention likely would not have been on Ye Lingling, but on Ji Yang, the one who had orchestrated it.
"Xiao Zi, I've decided. I'm going to pass my divine position on to her!"
The Goddess of Life suddenly made this decision with complete seriousness.
In truth, like the Asura God, she was somewhat curious about how Ye Lingling had accomplished it, but she had no intention of probing further.
She knew only that Ye Lingling was an excellent match for her divine position of Life.
Indeed, no one in the world was better suited than Ye Lingling to inherit her divine position.
The reason was simple!
This was sacred heart begonia. Even her true form, the Divine Life Tree, might not be stronger than it.
At the very least, the Divine Life Tree did not possess such a wealth of heaven-defying abilities as sacred heart begonia.
"All right. Since you've made your decision, Xiao Lu, I'll support you!"
The Destruction God King opened his mouth, but ultimately gave a firm nod.
This human possessed a sacred heart begonia martial soul and had already attained such powerful cultivation at such a young age. Her Soul Rings and Soul Bones were equally astonishing, and she also carried an unusual presence-a Soul Spirit.
If even she was unqualified to inherit the divine position of Life, then there truly was no one in the world who could inherit his wife Xiao Lu's divine position.
Unless they, as God Kings, perished and left behind the most fundamental "divine position seeds," allowing others to directly become the corresponding God Kings.
But that was impossible!
At least, that was how the Destruction God King saw it.
