Chapter 240 Conflict Arising from the Heir
"A divine position!"
Upon hearing the woman's reply, even Qin Mu, with his composure, couldn't help but be greatly shocked.
Now, Qin Mu was certain that the presumptuous woman before him must also be a god!
She was able to communicate with Qin Mu on behalf of the God of Destruction; she was stunningly beautiful and exuded a warm and approachable aura.
Without a doubt, the person before us is the wife of the God of Destruction, and also one of the five current God-Kings of the God Realm, the Goddess of Life!
Seeing Qin Mu's expression, the Goddess of Life didn't seem to mind, her face still bearing that unchanging warm smile.
"Surprised? Actually, it's not just Destruction, even I, and the other gods in the divine realm, have noticed you."
"With your talent and strength, you actually reached the threshold for inheriting a divine position a long time ago."
"However, there are still many, many trials to be taken before one can transform from a human into a god."
"Furthermore, due to an unwritten rule in the divine realm, unless a human actively seeks out a deity, the reigning deity is not allowed to contact the successor before the successor has reached a certain level of strength."
Qin Mu didn't know much about the divine realm, especially the legacy of this God of Destruction.
Upon hearing the words of the Goddess of Life, Qin Mu immediately clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and inquired.
"Please enlighten me, senior!"
The Goddess of Life did not answer Qin Mu's question directly. With a gentle wave of her sleeve, something touched the back of Qin Mu's knee, and his body involuntarily fell backward.
It wasn't that it had fallen to the ground, but rather that it was lying in a comfortable chair made of vines and flowers.
"As for the other matters, you should ask Destruction yourself."
"After all, you are his successor. It would be inappropriate for me to answer too much."
Behind the Goddess of Life, a chair made of flowers appeared out of nowhere and sat down in front of Qin Mu. The Goddess of Life looked at Qin Mu with a somewhat sentimental expression.
"I never imagined that the right arm bone of the Holy Light Dragon would end up in your hands by some twist of fate."
Upon hearing the Goddess of Life mention his right arm bone, Qin Mu cautiously inquired.
"Senior, is there any special significance to this right arm bone?"
Seeing Qin Mu's appearance, the Goddess of Life couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
"Hehe, no need to be nervous, it's just that I have some connection with this soul bone."
"Initially, it was because of a great war in the God Realm that this soul bone fell into my hands unintentionally. Later, due to some events, the God Realm is not very peaceful now."
"This soul bone was lost to the lower realm during that period. It is fate that you have obtained it now."
Qin Mu nodded in agreement, but there was something more in his eyes when he looked at the Goddess of Life.
"That's right, just as you thought. What happened in the God Realm is somewhat related to what you inherited as the God of Destruction and what Destruction dealt with."
Having understood Qin Mu's meaning, the Goddess of Life couldn't help but look in a certain direction, and the smile on her face faded considerably.
Not far from where the goddess of life was looking, three figures stood in front of a magnificent hall.
"Destruction?! What do you mean?!"
Of the three, the one with a slightly slender build, wearing armor covered in dark red magic patterns, and possessing a pair of blood-red eyes, spoke first.
The man was completely enveloped in dark red magic patterns, surrounded by a dark red light, and exuded a chilling aura formed from tangible killing intent.
"Shura, I don't understand what you're saying."
Across from that person, a man who looked to be in his thirties spoke.
The man had short, dark red hair that stood up like steel needles, and his eyes gleamed red. He was extremely handsome.
He wore a large purple cloak that covered his head, and only two red lights could be vaguely seen flickering within the cloak. His face was not visible, and there seemed to be an endless, deep, and terrifying aura emanating from within the cloak.
"Destruction, stop playing dumb with me! I'm asking about the successor! Why was my successor taken away by you?!"
The Asura God looked indignant.
Asura had his eye on Qin Mu, this promising talent, as early as when he had just emerged from the City of Slaughter.
If it weren't for someone keeping an eye on him, he would have already made his move and reserved Qin Mu for his position as the successor of the Asura God.
Unexpectedly, in just a few years in the lower realm, Qin Mu had already grown to a level close to that of a Title Douluo.
Once Qin Mu reaches the title of Douluo, he will have the right to inherit the divine position, according to the gods.
But in these short few years, it wasn't just him; the God of Destruction, the Sea God, the God of Destruction, and countless other secondary gods also paid him attention.
"Your man? You mean Qin Mu? When did he become your man?"
After hearing the words of the God of Destruction, the God of Destruction smiled disdainfully and couldn't help but ask a question in return.
"Nonsense! Who in the entire God Realm doesn't know that the one who possesses the God of Slaughter Domain is the successor of my Asura God?"
The Asura God seemed to realize that the God of Destruction was somewhat in the wrong, and immediately questioned him.
"You scorn my chosen successor so much, yet you still want to take him as your own? Do you intend to incite chaos within the divine realm?"
"The realm of gods also has its own rules, not a place where you can destroy and dictate everything!"
"I'm making this clear: not only you, but anyone who dares to steal my successor will face the wrath of the God of Asura!"
The man standing next to the Asura God echoed the sentiment.
"That's right! The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was the final test I gave to my successor. Now that Qin Mu has completed the test, he should rightfully be my successor as the Sea God!"
The man who called himself the Sea God had an ancient and simple face. He was not handsome, but he was extremely dignified. He had a pair of peaceful yet slightly stern eyes, with a faint light flowing in them.
Upon hearing their words, the God of Destruction laughed instead of getting angry.
"Shura, no matter who tries to take your successor, you'll demand an explanation from them, right?"
The God of Destruction's gaze suddenly turned somewhat amused, giving the God of Asura a bad feeling.
"If I remember correctly, there is currently a person named Tang Chen in the lower realm who is undergoing your Asura God Trial, and he has already completed the eighth level, and has even inherited your Asura God Sword."
"According to the rules, a godhood cannot have two successors at the same time. This is a rule you set, isn't it?"
"Since that human's divine test of you is not yet over, what's the point of you coming to me demanding an explanation?"
Upon hearing the words of the God of Destruction, the God of Asura's face instantly turned ashen!
