Chapter 63: Goddess of Life

The palace of the Goddess of Life—suddenly, a streak of black light shot out.

Carrying an immense aura, it swiftly departed in a certain direction.

Amidst a sea of clouds, Dan Heng quietly observed this scene. That black figure just now was none other than the God of Destruction.

According to the plan, the Sea God Poseidon was to lure out the God of Destruction, giving Dan Heng an opportunity to meet the Goddess of Life.

Once he confirmed that the God of Destruction had left, Dan Heng quickly entered the palace of the Goddess of Life.

Just as he was about to step into the grand hall, a figure blocked his path.

It was a man clad in dark purple armor, his entire body resembling a moving fortress, exuding a formidable presence.

Although he was also classified as a first-level god, his strength vaguely surpassed even that of the Sea God!

Dan Heng recognized him—he was the God of Destruction's trusted subordinate, the God of Ruin!

Back when they fought against the Golden Dragon King, Dan Heng had fought alongside him.

If it weren't for Dan Heng's intervention, the God of Ruin would have been seriously injured by the Golden Dragon King—perhaps even fatally wounded.

"You've come, Moon Drinking Lord"

The God of Ruin's voice was deep and heavy, his red eyes locking onto Dan Heng.

Dan Heng replied directly, "I seek divine medicine from the Goddess of Life, that is all. Step aside."

The God of Ruin sighed. Suddenly, a long spear appeared in his hand as he said, "Yin Yue-kun, I owe you a great favor. If not for you saving me back then, I would have died."

"But I must remain loyal to the God-King of Destruction…"

"If you wish to see the Goddess of Life, you must defeat me first."

A battle intent ignited around the God of Ruin. He was utterly serious, red divine light radiating from him.

Dan Heng tightened his grip on the Ji Yun Spear, feeling a wave of irritation.

Dealing with a peak first-level god like the God of Ruin—especially in a direct confrontation—meant that even for him, taking down the opponent instantly without causing fatal injuries was impossible.

Moreover, if things escalated and the Palace of Life was destroyed…

Setting aside whether the Goddess of Life would hold it against him, the God of Destruction would undoubtedly go mad and fight him to the death!

Dan Heng locked onto the God of Ruin, searching for any weaknesses in his defenses.

He needed to defeat him in the shortest time possible.

Meanwhile, the God of Ruin, who was being locked onto, suddenly experienced the greatest sense of crisis in his entire life.

Even back when he was nearly shattered by the Golden Dragon King, he had never felt such fear.

He was now certain—Dan Heng's strength had surpassed that of the Golden Dragon King!

Dan Heng had undoubtedly reached the level of a God-King!

"Stop!"

A voice interrupted.

"The Moon Drinking Lord is my friend. God of Ruin, you shall not obstruct him! If Destruction returns, tell him not to interfere, or I will be displeased!"

At that moment, a goddess in a green dress opened the palace doors and spoke to the two of them.

The tense atmosphere between them instantly dissipated.

Dan Heng swiftly entered the grand hall.

The God of Ruin bent slightly at the waist and said, "As you wish."

At the same time, he inwardly sighed in relief.

No one knew the fear he had just experienced while facing Dan Heng. Especially when Dan Heng grew irritated—he truly felt that he could die at any moment!

He now felt fortunate that the Goddess of Life had intervened in time.

If a real fight had broken out, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"No, I must find an opportunity to pass on my god position to someone else… This is far too dangerous…"

The God of Ruin shook his head at the thought.

Dan Heng and the Goddess of Life walked side by side into the temple.

Inside, there was an ancient tree exuding an intense aura of life, its branches lush and its leaves a vibrant green.

Here, even a mortal taking a single breath of air could be cured of all ailments.

"Moon Drinking Lord, it has been a long time since we last met… All the gods of the Divine Realm remember your kindness. You are always welcome here." The Goddess of Life smiled gently, her expression warm and friendly.

Dan Heng remained silent for a moment.

Thinking about his experiences in the Divine Realm—was he really welcomed?

Dan Heng said, "Goddess of Life, I have come to ask for a divine medicine…"

He briefly explained Gu Yuena's physical condition.

The Goddess of Life was momentarily stunned. "May I ask who this person is to you, Moon Drinking Lord? Given her condition, she must at least be a first-level god, correct?"

If she were anything less than a first-level god, she would have perished long ago.

That raised another question—if she was not in the Divine Realm, what kind of existence was she?

Recklessly treating her could pose a risk to the Divine Realm.

After a moment of thought, Dan Heng answered, "She is… my wife."

"!!!"

The Goddess of Life was visibly shocked, staring at Dan Heng in disbelief.

After all, in the Divine Realm, it was extremely rare for gods to take spouses.

And for someone as terrifyingly powerful as Dan Heng to have married under such circumstances?

The Goddess of Life couldn't comprehend it. Looking at Dan Heng's serious expression, she took a deep breath, suppressing her emotions. With a wave of her hand, a branch from the ancient life tree extended downward.

She broke off a small segment of the branch and handed it to Dan Heng.

"Congratulations. If the gods learn of your marriage, they will surely come to offer their blessings."

"This is a small gift from me. While it won't restore her to her peak, it can at least stabilize her condition and relieve her suffering completely."

The Goddess of Life smiled warmly.

Dan Heng took the small branch. The moment it touched his hand, he could feel the dense, pure energy of life radiating from it.

With this, Gu Yuena's injuries now had hope for recovery!

"Thank you. I owe you a favor. Also, I ask you to keep my marriage a secret." Dan Heng had no interest in having the gods disturb his peaceful life.

Especially not Poseidon, whose energy levels rivaled that of March 7—even more reason to stay vigilant.

The Goddess of Life nodded. "Alright, I will remember."

Dan Heng prepared to leave. First, he focused on sensing Poseidon's situation.

He couldn't just flee immediately—he had to ensure Poseidon's safety.

Although Poseidon had confidently assured him that he wouldn't be in mortal danger…

Meanwhile, Poseidon was speeding across the clouds, dragging the God of Lust along as he surfed on ocean waves, covering dozens of miles in an instant.

Behind him, a sphere of blood-red light was rapidly closing in.

Poseidon grumbled irritably, "What kind of grudge does Destruction have against Dan Heng?! Does he really need to chase me this hard?! My god power is about to collapse, and he's still accelerating?!"

The God of Lust chuckled. "Poseidon, you should just let me go. If the God of Destruction realizes you deceived him, this will not end well for you."

"Now is not the time for nonsense! Every second I buy counts!" Poseidon snapped impatiently.

The God of Lust glanced at the ever-nearing God of Destruction and said, "You have about three seconds left before you're caught."

He smirked and added, "Why did you even help Moon Drinking Lord? If you let the God of Destruction beat him up, he'd vent his anger, and that would be the end of it. But now you've made things worse—he definitely won't let this slide."

"You wish—" Poseidon started, but before he could finish, a red light from behind caught up to him, dyeing the entire area in crimson and drastically slowing his speed.
