Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's eyes flickered slightly.
From the undisguised resentment and somber tone of the God of Destruction, he could tell that these words were truly sincere and not feigned.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems that the conflict between him and Tang San is deeply rooted and has accumulated over a long period of resentment, almost to the point of being irreconcilable."
"No wonder that in the near future, a cataclysmic civil war will erupt in the Divine Realm, engulfing all the deities!"
"In that battle, the God of Destruction and the others were outmaneuvered and lost everything, causing the Divine Realm to fall completely under Tang San's control."
but...
A barely perceptible glint flashed in the depths of Kong Xuan's eyes.
That was the "original" future.
Now that there is an "odd number" like him, the future structure of the God Realm may not necessarily follow the established trajectory!
Having thought this through, Kong Xuan had already made up his mind.
He raised his head, looking at the God King shrouded in purple robes, and tentatively asked, " The Destruction God King's descent to the mortal realm this time... is probably not just for a simple reunion with the God of Love, is it?"
The God of Destruction's expression, shrouded in purple robes, turned serious. "You are perceptive, indeed. I have come here precisely for you."
"For me?"
Kong Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that his actions on the Douluo Continent had probably already attracted the attention of the Destruction God King, who was far away in the Divine Realm but was always watching Tang San's movements.
The God of Destruction didn't keep you in suspense and directly revealed his original plan. "Originally, I intended to bestow upon you a Godhood Inheritance, so that you could accumulate power sooner, ascend to the Divine Realm, and lend me a hand in dealing with Tang San..."
He paused slightly, looking at Kong Xuan Xuan's now-retracted domineering aura, then smiled and said, "But it seems you don't need it now. No wonder you're the one who can repeatedly cause Tang San to suffer losses and be helpless."
With the vision and status of the God of Destruction, he could naturally sense that the level of the energy hidden within Kong Xuan's body was extremely high, even comparable to the source of Destruction he wielded!
Such a person naturally no longer needs the Godhood Inheritance from others.
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan understood.
He truly didn't need to rely on a divine position to elevate himself to the Divine Realm; he understood this after receiving the Ice God's inheritance.
But... just because he doesn't need it doesn't mean the people around him don't!
The opportunity to become a god is a once-in-a-millennium event!
Now that a God King has taken the initiative to mention the inheritance, how could he easily let go of such a once-in-a-millennium opportunity? He must seize this chance!
Therefore, the instant the words of the God of Destruction faded, Kong Xuan immediately spoke up and asked, "Does the God King wish to pass on his divine position?"
Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction slowly shook his head. "I am not someone who covets power, but given the current situation in the Divine Realm, only my faction can still keep Tang San in check, so my divine position cannot be passed on for the time being."
He then changed the subject, saying, "However, I can communicate with some neutral deities, and even those who harbor resentment towards Tang San, to pass on their divine positions."
Although the Divine Realm in the Douluo Plane is jokingly referred to as "fantasy floor tiles," the immortality that comes with becoming a god is a very real thing!
Even a mere Third-Class Deity signifies near-eternal Life, an irresistible temptation for any Soul Master.
With the opportunity right in front of him, Kong Xuan immediately seized the moment and said, " God King, I still have several close friends and relatives by my side. Their talent and character are one in a million, truly top-notch."
"I wonder... if we could also give them a chance to undergo the divine test?"
Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction fell silent.
Beneath the purple cloak, no aura was leaked, as if he were weighing something.
Even with the enhanced Joy of Seeing of Kong Xuan, Kong Xuan couldn't see through the expression beneath the hood at all.
Kong Xuan's mind raced. He lowered his voice and continued, "Among the people I've mentioned, one is the chosen one of destiny, born for this plane!"
"He was originally Tang San's carefully chosen target, intended to be cultivated into his person, but now... he's been lured away by me."
"Oh?"
The God of Destruction uttered a question tinged with intense interest.
"A person favored by the destiny of this plane... is indeed an excellent choice!"
The God of Destruction's voice betrayed a hint of unease. He hesitated for a moment, as if making a decision, and then with a flick of his sleeve, a deep purple streak of light shot towards Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan reached out and caught it steadily; it felt warm to the touch.
Upon closer inspection, what he held in his palm was a token that was neither gold nor jade. It was a deep, dark purple color, with mysterious patterns engraved on its surface. At its center was a vortex pattern that seemed capable of devouring everything, radiating a faint yet chilling wave of Destruction.
" Tang San has repeatedly disregarded the rules of the Divine Realm, wantonly interfering in the operation of the lower realm and disrupting the order of the planes."
The God of Destruction's voice carried a hint of coldness. "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for interfering according to my own rules! I'd like to see what he can do to me!"
He pointed to the token in Kong Xuan's hand. "With this token, you can contact me directly."
"Regarding the specifics of the Godhood Inheritance, I will make a decision after I have personally met the chosen one you spoke of."
Clearly, the God of Destruction initially only valued Kong Xuan.
If Kong Xuan hadn't been quick-witted enough to throw away the significant bargaining chip of "Chosen One," it's unlikely that any further pleas would have secured an additional opportunity for others.
However, judging from the results, it was undoubtedly a success.
They have secured another precious opportunity for Godhood Inheritance, which is already a gain far exceeding expectations.
Just as Kong Xuan was secretly making plans, the God of Destruction seemed to sense something, raised his head slightly, and his gaze seemed to pierce through the barrier of the valley, looking up at the endless sky.
"My divine sense should not linger in the lower realms." His deep voice rang out. "If there are any important matters later, you can contact me using the Destruction Token."
Having said that, his figure, shrouded in purple robes, took one last look at God of Love: " Evelyn, may you eventually find a suitable successor."
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for any response, his figure vanished silently and completely from the spot, like wisps of smoke scattered by the wind, or like a phantom that had never existed.
There were no spatial fluctuations, no energy ripples, and not even the slightest movement of the surrounding air.
With the God of Destruction gone, the matter here has finally come to a temporary end.
Kong Xuan had no intention of lingering there any longer. He turned to the lakeside and promised Evelyn, " God of Love, rest assured, once I have finished my business, I will soon bring a suitable person to receive the Godhood Inheritance."
Evelyn's light and shadow nodded slightly, and then the figure formed by the lake water completely dispersed, turning into the purest gold and silver colors and falling back into the lake below where the Sun Moon depended on each other. Ripples spread across the lake surface before it finally returned to calm.
At the same time, the thick white fog that had enveloped the entire Core Zone of West Mountain and isolated the inside from the outside world was instantly wiped away as if by an invisible hand, disappearing without a trace and revealing the long-lost sunlight and mountain scenery to the outside world.
Kong Xuan and Kong Deming exchanged a glance, and without further delay, they soared into the sky, transforming into two streaks of light and rushing towards the direction of Mingdu.
On his way home, the strong wind howled in his ears, but Kong Deming's heart was far more turbulent and unsettled than the air currents at high altitude.
This trip to West Mountain, with all that he saw and heard, repeatedly challenged and reshaped the worldview of this top-tier powerhouse of the Moon Empire.
The remnant soul of a god, earth-shattering secrets, the descent of God King... all of this far exceeded his understanding of the past hundred years.
He had been suppressing the turmoil within him and remained silent.
But now, only the grandfather and grandson remained, and the question that had been lingering in his mind ever since the appearance of the God of Destruction could no longer be suppressed.
He turned his head slightly, looking at his grandson Kong Xuan flying beside him with a complicated expression. Finally, with a slight tremor, he asked the question.
" Xuan'er... what exactly did that 'otherworldly being' that the Destruction God King mentioned before mean?"
