Chapter 234 The God of Destruction, Disappointed with the Goddess of Life.
And at this moment....
Inside the Temple of Poseidon, the statement of the Goddess of Life acted like an invisible shackle, not only preventing the God of Destruction from impeaching her, but also making the atmosphere within the temple extremely ironic.
After hearing the words of the goddess of life...
The God of Destruction stood stiffly in the center of the hall, looking at the Goddess of Life's still compassionate face, his eyes revealing an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity and disappointment.
"Why?" The God of Destruction's voice was extremely low, as if suppressing a thunderbolt about to erupt.
"Life, you watched him interfere with the lower realms, watched him slaughter mortals, yet you still choose to side with him for such absurd reasons."
"In your eyes, are the rules of the divine realm really no match for his hypocritical fatherly love?"
The goddess of life sighed softly as she slowly walked to the god of destruction, her emerald-green divine power gently undulating around her.
"Destruction, you should see the current situation clearly." The Goddess of Life's expression turned serious. "Of the five great god-kings of the divine realm, the two of good and evil have long since fled to the star field, leaving only the three of us to maintain the divine realm committee."
"The order of the divine realm is inherently fragile, and maintaining the status quo is already extremely difficult. At this time, what we need most is unity, not to fight amongst ourselves over a future scenario that has not yet occurred."
She turned her head, glanced at Tang San who maintained a composed demeanor, then looked at the God of Destruction, her tone carrying a hint of reproach:
"I hope you will stop targeting Tang San."
"He stopped you from expanding the divine realm because he was concerned about the safety of the divine realm."
"We, the God-Kings, are well aware of the risks of expanding the divine realm."
"But ever since then, you've harbored resentment towards him, constantly looking for his flaws. Destroy, let go of these prejudices."
Upon hearing these words, the God of Destruction completely broke down. He abruptly took a step back, the Scepter of Destruction in his hand emitting a piercing hum.
"I'm targeting him?" The God of Destruction laughed in fury, pointing to the blood-soaked scene in the sky.
"The facts are clear: he broke the rules first, and he manipulated power afterward. How dare you say I'm targeting him? Life, is your so-called unity just about us joining forces to condone the birth of a dictator?"
He looked at the two god-kings who had reached some kind of tacit understanding, and at the seemingly sacred but actually corrupt order, and finally shook his head.
"I have nothing to say. I have nothing to say to you."
The God of Destruction didn't glance at the Goddess of Life again. He turned around abruptly, his figure transforming into a violent purple bolt of lightning that shattered the clouds above the Sea God's Temple before he stormed off.
The Goddess of Life watched the God of Destruction's departing figure, her worry deepening. She turned around, nodded slightly to Tang San, and then said softly, "Tang San, you should take care of yourself. You know Destruction's nature. I will try to appease him, but you should also restrain yourself a bit."
Having said that, the Goddess of Life transformed into a streak of emerald light and swiftly pursued the aura of the God of Destruction.
The main hall returned to silence.
Tang San stood still, his originally straight spine relaxing slightly at this moment.
He raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Only then did he feel the pressure in his heart ease slightly.
He succeeded.
By exploiting Xiao Wu's maternal instincts and the goddess of life's desire for stability, he forcibly turned a political crisis that could have ruined his reputation into a "discipline failure" within his family.
"call--"
Tang San secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his gaze toward the sky remained wary.
Although he had overcome this difficulty, he knew very well that the sky was displaying an unchangeable trajectory of the future.
"What are you thinking, my future self..." Tang San whispered to himself.
"I have cleared away the doubts of the gods for you, but if you go too far in the following scenes, and even the Goddess of Life cannot find a reason to defend you, then things will really be troublesome."
"Hopefully, nothing else goes wrong."
And at this moment.
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
The tests within the Valley of Love and Destiny did not stop just because Huo Yuhao entered the "deep adventure."
The screen begins to flash rapidly, showing the encounters of other members of the Tang Clan on different stone platforms.
[Xu Tianran displayed rare fortitude when questioned about the sect, while Bei Bei revealed a profound and unforgettable infatuation when faced with Tang Ya's phantom.]
While the voice of Cupid still carries malice in these scenes, it mostly serves to create obstacles in the battle or to verbally harass them; there's no longer the endless, vicious cycle of torture and killing like in Huo Yuhao's case.
Tang San, inside the Sea God Temple, watched these scenes, his expression gradually calming down.
As long as it doesn't involve the core goal of domestication, and as long as it doesn't involve Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er, these so-called "questions about love" are just trivial formalities in his eyes.
He even had a slight wish that the footage could remain on these trivial tests forever.
However, the will of the heavens does not shift according to the wishes of the God-King.
The scene suddenly jolted, and the thick pink mist split open in an instant. Two separate stone platforms slowly approached each other in the void, eventually merging together.
[The beam of light illuminates.]
Wang Dong'er stood pale-faced on one side of the stone platform, her breathing still somewhat disordered, clearly not yet fully recovered from the pain of the recent intense adventure.
Directly opposite her stood Wang Qiu'er, holding the Golden Dragon Spear, her eyes filled with complex and cold emotions.
"This hurdle requires no intervention from others." Cupid's voice echoed once more in the heavens, this time with an absolute cruelty. "Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er. The lives and souls of the two of you are inherently exclusive and cannot coexist."
"This test is simple, and it's the only one."
[The voice of Cupid turned extremely cold, each word like a heavy hammer blow to Huo Yuhao's still-healing wounds.]
"The two of you must determine a winner here. And there is only one standard for victory—the one who survives will be qualified to continue staying by Huo Yuhao's side. The one who loses will be completely wiped out from this world."
The atmosphere on the stone platform instantly became extremely tense.
Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er exchanged glances, both seeing the resentment and pain in each other's eyes, a result of being cruelly manipulated by fate. Meanwhile, inside the Sea God Temple, Tang San's heart leaped into his throat the moment he witnessed this scene.
This was the bloodiest blow in his plan, aimed at completely severing all of Huo Yuhao's emotional escape routes.
