"Sea God, I think I can sense your divine power emanating from the lower realm. What kind of trouble are you causing now?"
As soon as the God of Destruction sensed the fluctuations of the Sea God's divine power, he rushed over, trying to seize on the Sea God's weakness.
"Destruction, you've come?" The sea god, seeing the god of destruction arrive, did not panic, but instead greeted him calmly.
"Get lost! We're not that close. You still haven't explained to me what that divine power fluctuation was all about!"
"Xiao Qi has arrived at Shrek Academy," the Sea God did not directly answer the God of Destruction's question, but instead chatted with the God of Destruction about his daughter.
"Oh? Shrek Academy is the academy you attended in the Douluo Continent? It still exists after all this time? Xiao Qi will probably be happy to be able to enter her parents' alma mater, right?"
When Xiao Qi was mentioned, the God of Destruction's expression softened, no longer as aggressive as before.
"Being Xiaoqi's pride is the happiest thing for me as a father," Poseidon said gently, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if recalling the proud look on his daughter's face when she mentioned him.
"Don't change the subject! You haven't explained the divine power fluctuations from just now!"
"I just used my divine power to cross the dimensional barrier and chat with Xiao Qi, to arrange things for the future."
Poseidon paused, the gentleness on his face vanishing, replaced by a calm as still as the ocean, yet also as if brewing an endless storm.
"In addition, the core area of Shrek Academy contains the pure power of the Sea God's faith, which has been accumulated over ten thousand years. I used the Sea God's Seal on Xiao Qi to collect that portion of the power of faith and strengthen the seal on the power of the Asura God on Xiao Qi."
"Little Seven... she's really had a hard time. The former Asura God was really something, he didn't even explain things clearly before he left, causing the mother and daughter to suffer an undeserved disaster."
Destruction recalled Xiao Qi, who had been eroded by the Asura God's power within her mother's body while still a fetus. Because there was no precedent, none of the gods noticed this until Xiao Qi was born and the blood-red patterns covering her entire body made them realize something was wrong.
However, the infant under the influence of the Asura's divine power was unusually irritable, seemingly affected by the killing intent in the Asura's origin.
Using the power of the Goddess of Life to suppress the Asura's origin, and then using the power of the Sea God, who was one with the Asura God, to try to wear down the Asura's origin, they were helpless to find that the Asura's origin was too closely integrated with Xiao Qi's soul. Forcibly wearing it down would only cause great damage to Xiao Qi's fragile soul. So they had no choice but to seal that power as much as possible to reduce its influence on Xiao Qi's personality.
"Sigh, once Xiao Qi's matter is resolved, we should pass on the Asura Godhood as soon as possible. This method of controlling two godhoods is still too unstable. If we pass it on sooner, Xiao Wu won't have to bear the pressure of the Asura Godhood, and we can also prevent Xiao Qi's tragedy from happening again."
Seeing that the Sea God kept changing the subject, the God of Destruction's patience was also exhausted: "If you want to pass on the divine position, just do it directly. Look how efficient the previous Asura God was. He simply handed over the divine position to the successor who had taken the Sea God, and was all relaxed. Unlike you, who keeps dragging your feet and keeps saying that you will pass on the divine position. It has been so long and we haven't even seen a successor yet."
"I..." Poseidon gave a bitter smile, "I just wanted to choose carefully, so that what I experienced wouldn't happen again."
The God of Destruction sneered, "You'd better be the Sea God, or I'll catch you red-handed, or else..."
"What are you talking about, destruction?" The sea god looked at the god of destruction in confusion. "I am the king of the gods, the god of Asura who rules over judgment. How could I possibly break the law?"
The sea god appeared to be impeccable on the surface, but the god of destruction knew that his trip had been in vain. He could only snort coldly and leave the divine council.
Seeing the God of Destruction leave, the Sea God continued to focus his attention on the Douluo World, inspecting his arrangements on the Douluo Continent.
The resistance of the Douluo Continent consciousness gradually weakened... It seemed that in just a few years, Father would be able to completely take over the position of World Lord...
However, a chosen one has recently emerged, it seems the consciousness of the Douluo Continent is determined to fight to the death? Ha, a last-ditch effort...
As for Mother… the Golden Tree itself didn't develop consciousness, and Mother smoothly occupied its position. However, to become the life core of Douluo Continent, she still needs the recognition of the vast majority of life on the plane… Currently, a trigger is lacking, so for now, she can only maintain the status quo…
And as for Xiao Qi... well... the part of her soul that wasn't corrupted by the Asura's essence is gradually growing. It seems the experiment was a success...
"However..." The Sea God thought of the newly born Chosen One of Destiny on the Douluo Continent and began to have a headache again: "I was originally thinking of letting Xiao Qi travel to the mortal realm and make friends with the Chosen One of Destiny. If he had good aptitude, I could consider taking him under my wing. And if Xiao Qi was willing, it wouldn't be impossible..."
Now that Xiao Qi is asleep, this plan has fallen through. At present, the only way to observe the Child of Destiny is through the Sea God's Mark. Not only is it impossible to observe reliably, but it can only observe the surface and cannot reveal the special characteristics of the Child of Destiny...
The divided soul still had to stay by Xiao Qi's side to keep an eye on her, so it couldn't focus its energy on a child of destiny whose potential was unknown...
However, we still need to find a way to increase the surveillance of the Chosen One, since it is a second-level god's last stand, and we should take it seriously.
With his gaze shifting from the lower realm back to the divine realm, the Sea God began to contemplate the development of the divine realm once more.
The sea god sensed an impending catastrophe in the divine realm. Without knowing the exact cause, increasing his own strength was paramount. Besides that, gathering his forces was also a viable strategy…
Currently, anything capable of causing turmoil in the divine realm requires combat power at least at the half-step God-King level, which significantly narrows down the scope...
Moreover, with five God-Kings in the God Realm, a half-step God-King can't cause much trouble, so... is the cause of the calamity still among the five God-Kings?
Will destruction be yours?
Of the five God-Kings in the God Realm, Asura, good, and evil are all newcomers. Therefore, Destruction currently holds absolute power in the God Realm, and all the redundant God positions are in Destruction's hands.
At this moment, the destruction of those unwilling to relinquish their power is justified, and they are also the most capable of unleashing a catastrophe that overthrows the divine realm.
Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in the sea god's eyes.
If it really is you, then destroying you is already a death sentence!
Even if I have my life to protect you, I will still kill you!

On the other side is the abode of the god of destruction and the god of life.
"You're back?!" Seeing the God of Destruction's appearance, the God of Life knew that Destruction had once again suffered a setback at the hands of the Sea God.
"What on earth is this Sea God thinking? Does he really believe that his little schemes in the Douluo Continent were flawless?!"
Just thinking about the arrogant and fearless look on the face of the Asura God made Destruction feel a headache coming on.
For a dignified God-King to use such low-level methods, eyeing the position of a mere second-level god of the plane's ruler, is truly beneath him. After all, he was chosen as the successor by the former Asura God, and he couldn't simply expose him.
If the truth were revealed, would the former Asura God's subordinates still follow Tang San?
At that time, the lonely Asura God, apart from his combat prowess, will have a completely nominal position in the God Realm Committee, which is different from the expectations the previous Asura God had for Tang San.
The former Asura God was, after all, a member of the God Realm Council. Even though he was no longer around, his destruction of him was already quite a show of respect!
Every time the sea god caused that terrible commotion, he not only helped cover it up, but also waited until the commotion ended before going over to "question" the sea god and tell him to behave himself. As a result, the sea god actually thought he was someone who could be easily dismissed.
"Alright, alright, after all, he's just a little kid who's not even a hundred years old. It's normal for him to be a bit childish. Let's not get angry with him..." Life rarely sees Destruction holding back his emotions like this, so she takes the initiative to comfort him.
"I'm speechless. This sea god keeps talking about a major crisis in the divine realm. If there really is a crisis, why doesn't he make some preparations? The divine realm isn't without contingency plans for crises. All I see is the sea god fighting for power. Does he even realize that his prestige in the eyes of his subordinates has plummeted to nothing?!"
The most absurd thing about Destruction is that the sea god used the excuse of an unknown catastrophe to stop the expansion of the divine realm.
Even if the one who is most likely to expand his power when the divine realm expands is him, who controls the redundant divine positions in the divine realm, the sea god would not use such a clumsy excuse to suppress his power, would he?
Moreover, even if the expansion of the divine realm leads to the weakening of the divine realm's barriers, the pace of expansion can be slowed down to minimize the impact.
Instead of expanding, they have to suppress expansion and occasionally forcibly recruit a few talented self-created gods, leading to an oversupply within the divine realm.
At this time, the divine realm was not only unable to guide cultivators with sufficient talent from the lower realms, but it was also becoming more and more like an inflated balloon, just like the lies of the Asura, which could burst at the slightest touch.
The thought of the disappointed looks on the faces of the elemental gods when the Sea God said those words makes Destruction want to laugh. If it weren't for the orders of the former Asura God, who would listen to the Sea God?!
However, Destruction never expected that Poseidon had always believed that the so-called catastrophe was a man-made disaster, which was the biggest reason for the two's disagreement!
