Far away in the distant starry sky, the majestic palace shimmered with a faint golden light under the glow of the Divine Realm. This was the highest point in the entire Divine Realm, and the place where everything in the Divine Realm was controlled.
The God Realm Committee has the responsibility of judging all gods, as well as governing the Divine Realm and upholding its rules.
The main hall of the palace is octagonal, with no decorations on any of the surrounding walls, yet countless images flicker and change. Each light screen represents a world or scene from a different planet on Earth. This is also where the God Realm Committee monitors the various planets in this star system.
In the center of the main hall stands a round table. The surface of the table is made of some unknown material, and upon closer inspection, one can see wisps of mist and clouds, as if it were endlessly deep.
Five figures, each emanating a different aura, sat in different places. They were the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm: the Asura God, the Godess of Kindness, the God of Evil, the God of Destruction, and the God of Life.
The God of Destruction rested his hands quietly on his knees, his head slightly bowed, allowing his aura to blend into the surrounding environment.
Before him, a debate was unfolding between the Asura God and the Godess of Kindness over how to deal with Jun Yi.
The Asura God's face was cold and stern, his eyes like Ice Seal lake water. His words were calm and resolute. "This Jun Yi possesses the aura of three great dragon kings. Not only that, he also contains various Divine Power — Angel, Rakshasa, and he can even control my Divine Power. If we allow him to grow unchecked, he may very well collude with the Soul Beast Clan in the future. We must eliminate him."
The Godess of Kindness frowned, his eyes filled with worry. He shook his head, his voice full of opposition. " Asura, I don't think so. No matter what, this child is still human at heart. We should let him grow. He possesses unique abilities; perhaps he can open up new possibilities for us."
The God of Evil glanced at them sideways, a mocking smile on his face, " Kindness, you are truly too naive. He hasn't even attained Godhood yet, but he has already mastered multiple Divine Power. If he really becomes a god in the future, won't the Divine Realm have another God King? This table is already crowded; if Jun Yi, it'll be truly impossible to fit everyone in."
The God of Life listened quietly to their argument, her eyes shining with unwavering resolve. She spoke, her voice filled with power. "We cannot reject him out of fear; we should embrace him with love and Life. He is one of us, and he has the right to choose his own destiny. Even if he becomes God King in the future, he will still be a part of our Divine Realm, won't he?"
The auras of the four God King surged in the air, as if to tear the palace apart. The God of Destruction remained silent, his eyes hidden beneath his lowered eyelids, making it impossible to discern his inner thoughts.
Just as the four God King were arguing, a clear, cold voice echoed above the round table, "Since you all cannot decide, then let me make the decision." The God King were startled and looked up to see that the God of Destruction, who had been silent all along, had sat up straight, his eyes slightly closed and his face showing a hint of indifference.
" Asura God, I understand your concerns. Jun Yi's potential is indeed astonishing; he may become a powerful figure in our Divine Realm. However, I do not believe he will become our enemy," the God of Destruction said slowly, his voice echoing in the empty palace.
"Oh? Then tell me, what is so special about him that makes you so sure?" The God of Kindness asked doubtfully. The God of Destruction smiled slightly and said, "Although Jun Yi possesses many kinds of divine powers, he always maintains a true heart. Sincerity and purity. Such people tend to cherish life more and know how to care for others. Moreover, although his power is strong, he does not blindly pursue power, but pays more attention to friendship, love and family affection. Such emotions are things that we have long forgotten in the divine world."
The God of Evil scoffed, " Destruction, have you been deceived by his naiveté? In this world, those who possess great power often become selfish and Greed. Moreover, he has human blood flowing through his veins."
The God of Destruction glanced indifferently at the God of Evil, then slowly said, " Greed and selfishness are indeed part of human nature, but that doesn't mean everyone is like that. Although Jun Yi is human, he is not controlled by these negative emotions. On the contrary, he has always tried to protect those around him, even at the cost of his own life. Such qualities are hard to find in the Divine Realm."
The God of Life smiled with relief upon hearing this, " Destruction is right. We should give this child a chance." The Godess of Kindness gently patted the Asura God's shoulder. " Asura, we know your worries. Even if he sometimes loses control in the future, do you think you have the ability to control him?"
The God of Evil's eyes flickered, and he slowly nodded. "Although I don't quite agree with the concepts of Kindness and Life, since Destruction has put it that way, I agree to observe Jun Yi first. However, if he shows any signs of betrayal, I will absolutely not let him go."
The God of Destruction nodded. "Then it's decided. Let's continue to observe Jun Yi's every move. Asura, I understand your concerns. How about this, you take charge of monitoring Jun Yi?"
The Asura God frowned slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded. "Alright, since you all agree, then I will take charge of this matter. I will dedicate a wisp of my divine sense to secretly observe Jun Yi's every move, and if there is anything unusual, I will know immediately."
"If you can't even agree to this simple request, then there's nothing to talk about." The Asura God looked calmly at the four God King. The other God King nodded slightly in agreement. The God of Life looked at the God of Destruction and the Asura God. She knew their decision might bring her considerable trouble, but she also understood that it might be a necessary measure to protect the Divine Realm.
After the meeting adjourned, the Asura God returned to his temple. He sat cross-legged, his hands gently resting on his knees, and closed his eyes. Deep within his heart, an invisible divine thought separated from his body, like a sparkling pearl, slowly floating in the air. Then, he slowly raised his hand, and the divine thought split in two, directly piercing through the void and flying towards the Douluo Continent in the lower realm.
" Jun Yi, although I don't know where you came from, you insignificant ant, your appearance has disrupted all my plans. You have stolen all the fortune of the ' Child of Fortune ' I chose, which has embarrassed me greatly."
