Chapter 392: It's All Tang San's Fault.
In the video, in order to eliminate his rivals, Tang San began expanding his network of influence. He rescued a young man named Zhou Weiqing (*protagonist of Heavenly Jewel Change), pretending to have the intention of passing the Asura God position to him. In secret, however, he manipulated Zhou Weiqing into inheriting the God of Destruction's subordinate god position the God of Ruin, planting a hidden agent within his enemy's ranks.
Later, Tang San foresaw the arrival of a temporal storm.
He saw it as an opportunity.
A crisis, yes but also the perfect chance to get rid of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life for good.
So, he deliberately provoked the God of Destruction into launching a rebellion.
After a series of carefully orchestrated moves, he exploited the sudden arrival of the temporal storm, tricking the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life into willingly sacrificing themselves to protect the God Realm.
With this, he finally rid himself of those two ancient obstacles.
Now, no one in the God Realm could stop him.
However, the temporal storm itself was still a major threat.
The Storm Approaches
On screen, the temporal storm could be seen a massive gray cloud like formation sweeping through the universe at high speed, heading straight for the God Realm.
Yet Tang San showed no fear.
Everything was still within his calculations.
"Buzzz buzzz buzzz "
The ominous hum of the storm grew louder as it drew closer.
The God Realm trembled, but quickly stabilized.
At the God Realm Committee, a massive assembly of gods gathered the Seven Elemental Gods, the Seven Deadly Sin Gods, and many others, all seated around Tang San.
At this moment, they were no longer divided.
They had a common goal to protect the God Realm, their home.
The scene then shifted this time, showing the storm from space.
The gray cloud formation was now clearly visible.
It was a swirling mass of chaotic energy, its core flickering with eerie gray light.
The closer to the center, the more dangerous it became a region of immense spatial compression, containing power capable of warping reality itself.
As it advanced, entire stars dimmed in its presence.
It was as if the universe itself was making way, clearing a path for absolute annihilation.
The outer edges of the storm consisted of whipping tendrils of gray mist, like silent but deadly whips lashing through space.
The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction, in their final act of sacrifice, compressed the God Realm, merging all of their power into it.
Using their very essence, they became the first line of defense against the storm.
As the God Realm shrank, its protective barrier thickened, restoring its original defensive capabilities.
For a moment, the gods felt reassured perhaps they could survive this after all.
Then…
The first tendril of the storm made contact.
A whip like strand of gray mist gently touched the God Realm's barrier.
Instantly, the entire God Realm shuddered.
But, protected by the power of creation, the tendril disintegrated into nothingness.
The storm's advance slowed slightly.
Then came the second tendril.
Once again, creation energy countered the attack, dispersing the gray mist.
But this time…
The God Realm trembled even more violently.
Within, mountains cracked, lakes spilled over, and entire landscapes shook apart.
Livestream Chat Explodes.
[This is terrifying!]
[The temporal storm is insane!]
[Will the God Realm survive this?]
[Looking at this… maybe?]
The chat was flooded with reactions most of the audience was too mesmerized by the spectacular visuals to even focus on the plot.
It felt like watching a Hollywood disaster movie.
Reality The God Realm.
The four God Kings led by the God of Destruction all wore grim expressions as they watched.
None of them had ever expected that the greatest future threat to the God Realm would be something as massive as a temporal storm.
However…
If Tang San hadn't interfered, the situation wouldn't have been this bad.
The God Realm had long been prepared for such cosmic disasters.
Had it not been for Tang San's scheming, even a storm of this magnitude would not have posed such a grave crisis.
In summary
IT WAS ALL TANG SAN'S FAULT.
At this point, none of the four God Kings had any faith left in Tang San.
At this point, if anything bad was happening, they automatically assumed Tang San was behind it.
He must have done something!
He was always up to something!
After all, he had known about the storm in advance, yet chose not to warn anyone.
Instead, he merely hinted at a vague crisis, deliberately withholding details.
If he had simply told everyone the truth, the God of Destruction would never have acted so recklessly.
The entire disaster could have been avoided.
But Tang San didn't.
He deliberately let everyone misunderstand him.
Then, when the crisis struck, he could "prove them wrong," earning praise, sympathy, and admiration.
Tang San the Ultimate Manipulator.
His scheming ran deeper than anyone could have imagined.
In the Video.
"BOOM!"
The humming turned into roaring.
The God Realm trembled violently.
The ground cracked, mountains crumbled, lakes overflowed.
The storm's onslaught was unstoppable.
The cloud tendrils kept striking, and the merged power of Destruction and Life gradually wore away the storm's outer layers.
The storm was shrinking.
But…
The power of creation had finally run out.
A Shocking Turn.
Suddenly
Two glowing orbs appeared in the sky.
They shot down like meteors, piercing through the God Realm's barrier, landing directly in Tang San's hands.
Tang San's lips curled into an uncontrollable smirk.
But then, he quickly masked it, forcing his eyes to well up with fake tears, putting on an expression of deep sorrow.
Because in his hands…
Were the final remnants of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life.
Their power seeds.
Their authority as God Kings.
As these two crystals landed in Tang San's hands, the God Realm Committee trembled.
A wave of immense divine power erupted.
Tang San's divine authority instantly doubled.
The other First Class Gods all fell silent.
They didn't know exactly what had just happened.
But they could guess.
Those were seeds of creation.
The very foundations of the God Realm itself.
And the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life…
…were gone.
