After hearing the merciless reprimand from the God of Destruction, Tang San's expression turned gloomy, and complex light surged within his blue eyes.
However, Tang San still tried his best to steady his emotions at this moment. He could not expose himself first. After the light screen began to play, he had already anticipated this.
He just never expected that that fellow Lin Feng could even display his inner thoughts.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, who was standing beside him, looked at Tang San with an incredulous gaze, her pretty face filled with shock and bewilderment, as if she was completely unable to believe everything she had just seen.
Xiaoqi... That was their daughter.
She had always felt that Tang San was extremely doting on Xiaoqi. From childhood to adulthood, Tang San had almost held Xiaoqi in the palm of his hand, giving her whatever she wanted and never letting her daughter suffer the slightest grievance, even making her feel as though her own love as a wife had been snatched away by her daughter.
But... why would such a thing appear within the light screen?
The rest of the Shrek Seven Devils, including Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, likewise looked at Tang San with incredulous gazes.
Having fought side by side with Tang San for many years, from Shrek Academy to Sea God Island, and then to the present Douluo God Realm, they had considered themselves to know Tang San's character like the back of their hands.
Yet the scenes presented within the light screen at this moment were vastly different from the Tang San in their memories.
For a moment, they did not even know what attitude to adopt when facing this former brother.
The purple eyes of the God of Destruction stared fixedly at Tang San, his tone low and filled with anger as he looked at Tang San.
"Tang San, do you have anything else to say now?"
"No wonder you occasionally intervened in the Lower Realm. It turns out you wanted the Child of Destiny nurtured by the Douluo plane's consciousness, and then seized the Luck of the entire Douluo Continent plane to achieve yourself. What a deep scheme indeed."
A sneer tugged at the corner of the God of Destruction's mouth.
"Even your own daughter can be used as a chess piece. Tang San, do you truly deserve those two God Positions on you?"
When the God of Destruction spoke these words, his Aura erupted directly. That force of destruction crushed toward Tang San like a mountain, and the entire space was affected. After all, this was the God of Destruction, currently the highest combat power of the Divine Realm.
Ordinary Divinity had absolutely no way to withstand the coercion of this force of destruction, and even being subjected to it for too long would cause them to be affected.
However, at the very instant that the force of destruction was about to press down onto Tang San, a figure abruptly blocked the path in front of Tang San.
That was a chubby figure, and this person was none other than Ma Hongjun. At this moment, crimson flame force surged all over his body. Although he was only at the level of a Second-Class God, he still unyieldingly released all of his might, attempting to contend with the power of the God of Destruction.
Yet the gap between a Second-Class God and a God King was simply too massive. The moment Ma Hongjun's flames came into contact with the force of destruction, they trembled violently, as if they would be directly annihilated at any moment.
Yet Ma Hongjun did not retreat even half a step, because being able to walk to this day was all thanks to Tang San. Without Tang San, how could he have walked to this day?
Bai Chenxiang's matter had nothing to do with Tang San; it was his own problem!
Immediately following that, Dai Mubai also took a step forward. A resolute expression also surfaced within his hetero-chromatic eyes, and the Aura of a Second-Class God of War abruptly burst forth at this time.
Oscar followed closely behind. Although his face carried a bit of tension, he still chose to stand on Tang San's side.
The remaining Shrek Seven Devils all stood out one by one, releasing their divine force to jointly resist the oppressive force of the God of Destruction.
"I believe in Third Brother!"
Xiao Wu also spoke with considerable difficulty. She absolutely did not believe that the events happening within the light screen were true. The real Third Brother cherished them incomparably. To let her live, he had blocked the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo alone, even at the cost of death. Furthermore, after her sacrifice, Tang San still chose to resurrect her and worked hard for it.
When she could only briefly return to her body, back on that ship, she had clearly told Tang San that he did not need to endure, but Tang San still endured it for her sake and then resurrected her. She knew that Tang San was not such a person!
"Third Brother has brought us all the way here through hardships and trials; we absolutely do not believe that Third Brother would do such a thing!"
Ma Hongjun's gaze looked directly at the God of Destruction, directly questioning the God of Destruction aloud.
"God of Destruction, would you rather believe an outsider than believe Tang San? At any rate, he is also a god of our Divine Realm, and moreover a Law Enforcement God! Even if he has some selfishness, he would absolutely never do something to harm his own companions and family!"
At this time, Rong Nianbing also slowly spoke, stepping directly in front of the God of Destruction, releasing the Aura of a First-Class God without reservation.
"Perhaps this Lin Feng created this fake light screen precisely to divide the power of our Divine Realm. Even if Lin Feng's strength is indeed stronger than all of us, if two Divine Realms truly go to war, some losses are bound to occur."
"And now, Lin Feng doing such a thing to sow discord is precisely wanting to divide the power of our Divine Realm, causing our internal ranks to fall into chaos first so that he can reap the profits of the fisherman."
At this time, both the God of Goodness and the God of Evil also successively spoke up for Tang San. Tang San's reputation was still quite good; even if his personality was sometimes overly extreme, overall he was still a good person.
Hearing everyone successively speaking up for him, Tang San then slowly spoke.
"I admit that I indeed left my Divine Sense within Xiaoqi's body, but that was solely to protect her safety."
Tang San's tone turned sincere.
"Moreover, after Xiaoqi entered that Shrek Academy, I had already withdrawn that strand of Divine Sense."
These words were naturally false. After all, sending Wang Dong'er into that Shrek Academy back then was meant to clearly see the internal affairs, but finding out that nothing could be seen, his Divine Sense was even wiped out.
When he reached this point, his gaze turned toward the God of Destruction.
"As for saying Xiaoqi had an Innate deficiency... Have you all ever witnessed with your own eyes what Xiaoqi looked like with an Innate deficiency? When she was in the Divine Realm, when did she ever show even a fraction of weakness?"
Hearing this, the crowd could not help falling silent.
Indeed, when Xiaoqi was in the Divine Realm, she could be said to be bounding about with vitality; where was there the slightest sign of an Innate deficiency?
As for the period of time after she was sent into the Lower Realm, the gods were all unclear about what exactly had happened. By the time they saw Xiaoqi again, it was already on the stage of the Five Extremes Grand Competition.
And upon the Five Extremes Grand Competition, they could not discern any signs of an Innate deficiency in Xiaoqi either; this point was impossible to verify.
Tang San looked at the God of Destruction, his tone growing increasingly earnest.
"I know that you, God of Destruction, have always been somewhat at odds with me, but I hope that at a time like this, the two of us can join hands to face external troubles together and not let this new Divine Realm succeed."
Tang San's gaze swept over the brothers by his side, his voice firm and filled with gratitude.
"What kind of person I, Tang San, am, the good brothers who have walked all the way with me are all clear about it."
