Chapter 276: Calling You "Asura Brother" Is Just Giving You Face!

Chapter 276: Calling You "Asura Brother" Is Just Giving You Face!

Hearing this, Poseidon was momentarily stunned and fell into silence.

Seeing Poseidon remain speechless, Kong was also taken aback. What was going on?

"I ascended from Douluo Star as a deity. Because I conquered most of the ocean's races and gained authority over the seas, I came to be known as the Sea God."

"The Angel God, in the name of justice, swept across the entire Douluo Continent, eliminating darkness and corruption…"

"She was worshiped by humanity at the time and ignited her divine flame through their faith."

"The Angel God had no selfish motives in her crusade against darkness. Her only goal was to protect the weak. In this regard, I fall short of her…"

"As for my relationship with her… I can only say we were friends."

Kong had initially thought Poseidon wouldn't reveal his connection to the Angel God, but unexpectedly, Poseidon spoke so much in one go!

"Just friends?"

"Yes!"

"I think you were her suitor—the kind who pursued but never succeeded!"

"…"

Poseidon fell silent.

Kong had hit the nail on the head—he was indeed the Angel God's pursuer.

But having it bluntly stated like this… was honestly embarrassing.

More importantly, how did this brat know about it?

After all, very few deities in the Divine Realm were even aware of this!

Both he and the Angel God had ascended from Douluo Continent, so naturally, they had much in common. Her beauty and temperament were second to none among goddesses.

What was wrong with pursuing her?

Unfortunately, by the time the great war broke out and the Angel God perished, her divine position nearly collapsed, and in the end, there was never any resolution between them.

Ultimately, it was Poseidon who sent the Angel God's divine position back to Douluo Continent—to Spirit Hall.

That was why he could observe the Angel God's successors and those who worshiped her.

Poseidon also had an obsession—after relinquishing his divine position, he wandered through various planes in search of the former Angel God.

Perhaps she would never be found, and even if he did find her, she would merely be a similar flower, never truly her…

"Child, I do not mind your impertinence, nor do I wish to know why you resent me over the Angel God. I have said what needed to be said. Now, are you willing to inherit my divine position?"

"If you are willing, the trials can simply be a formality…"

Hearing this, Kong's eye twitched. He knew Poseidon was absolutely serious about this.

But he really didn't need a divine inheritance!

"By the way, Poseidon, I've always wanted to ask—why do you gods insist on passing down your divine positions? Wouldn't you be stronger by keeping them for yourselves?"

This was something Kong had long been puzzled about.

If these gods were truly inactive and indifferent, why were they so willing to let future generations inherit their divine positions? Those divine positions were things they had painstakingly cultivated to obtain!

Who would be so selfless as to just give them away?

A god without a divine position and a god with one were two completely different entities!

"You know far more than I expected. Sigh, this is something that shouldn't really be disclosed to inheritors."

Poseidon sighed before continuing:

"A divine position is a form of power, but it is also a form of responsibility. This power must be bound to the Divine Realm to maintain its stability. In turn, the Divine Realm provides feedback, granting strength to the one bound to it…"

"If I wish to leave the Divine Realm, I must pass on my divine position. Otherwise, while the loss of my authority might not immediately destabilize the Divine Realm, it could encourage other deities to have similar thoughts."

"If too many gods start fleeing the Divine Realm… ahem… I can't say too much about that."

"In short, you just need to understand that being bound to the Divine Realm isn't a bad thing, but if a god wishes to leave, they must first pass on their divine position."

"If the Divine Realm ceases to exist, it would be a catastrophe for all living beings…"

Hearing this, Kong's eye twitched again.

Poseidon's final statement made a lot of sense.

But had he ever considered the possibility that if the Divine Realm were to be destroyed, wouldn't the lower planes be able to develop instead?

Of course!

When the Divine Realm was around, Douluo Continent remained stagnant for tens of thousands of years. But once the Divine Realm disappeared? In less than ten thousand years, they had gone from land to space travel, and even interstellar colonization…

At This Moment, in the Divine Realm

Poseidon's expression turned somewhat strange.

Why did this kid seem to know everything?

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any records of this on Douluo Continent, right?

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Poseidon frowned and turned toward the entrance of the grand hall.

"Asura Brother, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing the visitor, Poseidon immediately greeted him with a smile.

The man wore dark red armor, his face expressionless.

"I came to see how you're violating the rules."

Asura's voice was cold and indifferent.

Good heavens. This Poseidon—big eyebrows, righteous face—yet he turned out to be a sneaky schemer trying to pull off a rule-breaking stunt!

Asura had finally set things aside and had barely managed to find a qualified inheritor. Well, inheritor was a generous term.

Because, in truth, his so-called inheritor could abandon the inheritance at any moment.

Hearing Asura's words, Poseidon's smile instantly stiffened and then vanished altogether.

Alright, he had said some things he probably shouldn't have.

But once Kong ascended, he would've learned this information anyway!

A talent like Kong—becoming a god was only a matter of time.

Wait a minute. Since when did I break the rules?!

As long as he didn't admit to it, what could Asura do? It wasn't like Asura could eavesdrop on their conversation!

With that thought, Poseidon suddenly straightened up, speaking with righteous indignation:

"How exactly did I break the rules?"

"Let me tell you, calling you Asura Brother is me giving you face!"

"If I didn't want to give you face, I'd just call you Asura directly! What could you do about it?"

"In my divine palace, I have no reason to fear you!"

"So tell me—how did I break the rules? If you can't explain it properly, don't blame me for taking this to the Divine Realm Committee!"

Hearing this, Asura's eye twitched slightly.

His expression remained unchanged, but the way he looked at Poseidon now—

It was as if he were staring at an absolute idiot.

Did Poseidon really think he would have come here without evidence?

"Poseidon, did you—or did you not—attempt to deceive another deity's inheritor into becoming your own?"

Asura's tone remained cold and detached. His nature was like this—he was the Killing God. Smiling? That was impossible.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Poseidon was instantly enraged.

When had he ever tried to deceive another god's inheritor?!

With the kind of inheritors those gods had, Poseidon wouldn't have even bothered to look at them!

None of them could compare to the one he had just found!

Wait a second—the one he had just found…

Could Kong actually be another god's inheritor?

Now that he thought about it… given how much Kong knew, that did make some sense.

Asura continued staring at Poseidon, while beads of cold sweat formed on Poseidon's forehead.

Damn it—was this actually happening?!

"Heh… Heh… A-Asura Brother… just now… just now I… cough… I misspoke…"

Poseidon immediately caved, his bravado gone in an instant.
