Chapter 359: Descent of the Gods
The God of Destruction frowned slightly. Among the five divine kings of the God Realm, he was the strongest.
Although that strike just now was casual, Xiao Yu also hadn't used his full power.
This young man had taken only a couple of decades to reach the level he had cultivated for tens of thousands of years!
"Everyone, please stop now."
Just then, a gentle female voice came from behind the God of Destruction, and three figures appeared in succession.
Standing on the right was a graceful lady dressed in a light green gown. Her warm smile made one feel like basking in a spring breeze. She was the wife of the God of Destruction and also one of the five divine kings— the Goddess of Life.
In the center stood the Evil God King, a remarkably handsome young man with eyes that gleamed with a mysterious light.
On the left was the Evil God King's wife, the Goddess of Kindness. She wore a flowing white dress, with two strands of black hair draped over her chest. Her large, dark eyes shimmered with gentle light, and her ethereal temperament resembled a flawless white lotus. Her pure beauty made it impossible to harbor impure thoughts.
The moment they appeared, all three made their move. Powerful energy tore open a rift over ten zhang wide in the fabric of space, revealing a bottomless abyss of darkness. In an instant, it swallowed the attacks from Qian Renxue and the Asura God.
Qian Renxue and the Asura God's expressions changed drastically. They instinctively fled the area.
"Evil, Kindness, Life—are you all crazy? If I had hesitated just a bit longer, I would've been sucked into that space-time rift you created!"
The Asura God rushed to the divine kings, angrily confronting the three who had intervened.
Before they could respond, the cold voice of the God of Destruction rang out. "You bastard, it'd be better if you died. As a law enforcer, you knowingly broke the rules. You've interfered with the lower realms multiple times in secret, and now you've even descended in your true form to openly attack newly ascended gods. Do you think the rules of the God Realm are dead?"
He ignored the Asura God and turned to Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue. "What happened today is indeed the fault of the Asura God. But as one of the five divine kings, the God Realm can't remain stable without him. I hope you two can let this matter go. When you ascend to the God Realm, I'll make amends."
"Impossible!"
Before Xiao Yu or Qian Renxue could respond, the Asura God roared in fury. His blood-red eyes were filled with madness.
"They destroyed the origin of my divine seat! I will never let them go!"
"The origin of your divine seat?"
The Goddesses of Life and Kindness, along with the Evil God King, gasped in shock.
As original divine kings from the founding of the God Realm, they naturally understood the importance of a divine seat's origin. No wonder the Asura God disregarded the rules to attack new gods.
Only the God of Destruction, who had already investigated the matter, snorted coldly. "You brought this upon yourself. If you hadn't cheated and forcibly passed your divine seat to that mediocre Tang San, none of this would have happened.
As for your divine seat's origin, when we return to the God Realm, the four of us will use the power of the Divine Core to help you reforge one. Though it will only give you the strength of a first-level god for now, with your abilities, you'll surely recover quickly."
The Asura God's expression shifted constantly. Although he wanted to kill Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue, they were too much of a threat, and now that the four divine kings were present, he couldn't act again. That wouldn't just violate the rules—it would be like stomping on all four of their reputations.
In the end, he could only snort coldly. "Destruction, I'll spare them today for your sake. But if I ever see them endanger the God Realm, I will annihilate them body and soul!"
The God of Destruction ignored him. Being forced to this extent by two juniors, a few harsh words were to be expected.
He turned to Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue. "What do you think of my proposal?"
The Goddess of Life stepped forward beside her husband, speaking softly. "If your friends or family perished because of the Asura God, I can help you. As long as the soul isn't too severely damaged, I can revive them."
"Not acceptable."
Xiao Yu shrugged nonchalantly. "God of Destruction, Goddess of Life, after everything you've said, I have only one question—The Asura God flagrantly violated the rules, interfered with the lower realms, and schemed to bring down the original Death God and Angel God. For all these countless crimes, have you considered punishing him?"
"You're going too far!"
The Asura God burst with rage. He had already backed down, and yet this junior dared press the matter and demand punishment.
Xiao Yu's question also caught the God of Destruction off guard. He had expected to step in as a mediator and resolve the situation peacefully.
His face darkened. However, considering both Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue now had the power of divine kings, and would be important figures in the future expansion of the God Realm, he held his temper and said patiently, "Young friend, as I said, the Asura God is in the wrong. But the stability of the God Realm depends on him. I know you've been wronged, and I will make it up to you."
"Make it up to us?"
Xiao Yu let out a cold laugh. "Then I'd like to ask—how does the mighty God of Destruction plan to compensate the original Death God and Angel God?"
Qian Renxue also sneered, her expression mocking. "So the God Realm can't function without the Asura God? No wonder he's so fearless. In that case, we don't dare ascend to the God Realm. What if he ambushes us again? We wouldn't even have a place to seek justice."
"You two!"
The God of Destruction was so angered he couldn't speak.
The Asura God, however, was secretly delighted. He thought Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue were naive, pushing the God of Destruction, who had always been at odds with him, closer to his side.
Still, on the surface, the Asura God put on a show of righteous anger and shouted, "You two have gone too far! My actions will be judged by the God Realm Committee. You have no right to question me. Or do you intend to overthrow the Committee itself?"
