"Sea God… Tang San! And the Sea God's successor!!! Hahaha—, I want your successor to pay with their life for my husband!"
Deep beneath the ocean, a massive body opened its huge eyes under the restraint of the seawater. A gleam of hatred burst forth, and words full of resentment echoed continuously via special sound waves, scaring away all living creatures!
...
In the God Realm, Tang San opened his eyes.
The trident mark on his brow shone brightly, and a flash of golden light passed through his azure blue eyes, which resembled the vast ocean, seemingly reflecting the scenes of the lower world where heavenly tribulations raged and the demon whale was trapped.
"Truly brilliant."
Feeling the scene of the heavenly tribulation, Tang San couldn't help but praise, yet a thoughtful light also appeared in the depths of his eyes.
The power of the heavenly tribulation was the rule of heaven and earth. He hadn't expected a mortal to actually use a trick to trigger the rules of heaven and earth.
Although he couldn't understand the principle of the so-called array, he was clear about one thing. If this person truly became a god, wouldn't they be able to trigger the rules of the universe to fight a God King with the status of a 1st-Class God?
Was this ultimately beneficial or detrimental to him?
A moment of consideration caused Tang San, who had already decided Chen Junting's future, to fiddle with the scales again. Until a few breaths later, the scales returned to balance, and he made up his mind once more.
He presumed it would be fine!
Above the God Realm, ultimately, strength was determined by God Rank.
He was a dignified God King; could he possibly fear a Level One God? Moreover, those trickery methods of theirs were ultimately unorthodox paths. Using that to destroy the spy was just right for dealing with Destruction.
Thinking of this, he withdrew his thoughts from Chen Junting.
Then he turned to his daughter "Xiao Qi". In an instant, the eyes that had just been thoughtful became filled with killing intent, as if undergoing a conversion of Godhood, "Remnant of the Demon Whale, you have earned your death!"
Just now, the divine sense he had left on Xiao Qi suddenly transmitted feedback, indicating that Xiao Qi was facing fatal danger.
So at that moment, his divine sense suddenly exploded.
Just like the divine sense Sea God Bo Saidong had left in the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud back then, it was as if a god had descended in person, making a move to subdue the Deep Sea Demon Whale Queen, and then temporarily suppressing her into the deep sea.
Like the previous Sea God, he did not take the Deep Sea Demon Whale's life, but left her behind to be used as a stepping stone.
As for who she would be a stepping stone for… "My Clear Sky Hammer's ninth soul ring comes from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, so it is exactly fitting for this remnant to become the ninth soul ring for Xiao Qi's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul."
However, now was a good opportunity.
Unsettled light flashed in Tang San's eyes. He originally wanted to use this opportunity of retreat to let Xiao Qi and Huo Yuhao enter the Qiankun Wenqing Valley, and then descend the True Love Test. By putting Xiao Qi into a deep sleep, he would chain Huo Yuhao down, and at the same time continue his next planned scheme to make a move on the Imperial Auspicious Beast.
He hadn't expected reality to undergo a change.
A few minutes ago, he was still thinking about whether to find an opportunity in the future to artificially create some accidents, letting Xiao Qi and Huo Yuhao "stumble into" the Qiankun Wenqing Valley, before starting his handiwork.
But looking at it now, everyone's unconsciousness meant they were unclear about what happened. Afterward, when they woke up and found themselves in the Qiankun Wenqing Valley, they would mostly use the explanation of "drawn into space turbulence to narrowly escape" to fill in the gaps and justify it themselves.
"Since it is like this, then let's do it this way."
Tang San raised his finger slightly, about to make a move immediately.
Because he had just activated his divine sense and descended divine power, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Destruction God, who often paid attention to him. So at this time he must act quickly; if Destruction really discovered it later, he could also use the excuse of rescuing Xiao Qi to muddle through.
However, just at this moment, "Brother San."
A slightly urgent light call rang out.
Just this single sound caused Tang San to stop his action.
The next second, a figure stepped out of the illusion, and a soft, delicate body suddenly threw itself into Tang San's arms, holding him tightly.
Feeling the trembling transmitted over, Tang San hurriedly hugged Xiao Wu, who had suddenly arrived, and gently stroked that long scorpion braid.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
"I don't know either."
Xiao Wu raised her head, strong worry showing on her face.
Because just just now, a strong sense of heart palpitations suddenly surged into her heart, giving her a kind of oppression that made it hard to breathe.
"I was originally having tea and chatting with Rongrong and Zhuqing. But suddenly, I felt this unease. Brother San, you tell me, did something happen to Xiao Qi in the lower world?"
The urgency of her words conveyed a mother's anxiety. Xiao Wu raised her head further, and in an instant, tears streamed down her face like rain-soaked pear blossoms.
This made Tang San somewhat at a loss.
While comforting her, he threw the plan from just now to the side. At this time, his own wife was the most important.
(Wang Dong'er: Thank you, my mother.)
"Xiao Wu, don't worry, Xiao Qi is fine."
Tang San waved his big hand, revealing Xiao Qi's situation in the lower world before Xiao Wu. At the same time, he informed Xiao Wu of everything that had just happened, without the slightest concealment.
Of course, the matter of him wanting to teleport people to the Qiankun Wenqing Valley didn't count, after all, he hadn't prepared to truly make a move yet.
"This Deep Sea Demon Whale clan is indeed evil!"
After listening to the account and learning that it was the remnant of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King who made the move, the anger in Xiao Wu's heart instantly overpowered the worry from just now.
At the same time, what appeared in her heart was the scene from when they were still on the Douluo Continent, during the final trial before her own Brother San inherited the Sea God Godhood, where he fought the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and won victory.
"I didn't expect such evil soul beasts actually still have remnants remaining! Brother San, how do you plan to deal with this evil soul beast?"
It must be known that this soul beast still harbored hatred towards the Sea God lineage. If she made a move on Xiao Qi later, that would be terrible.
"Don't worry."
As if he saw Xiao Wu's worry, Tang San comforted her.
"This innately evil soul beast, I will make her become the ninth soul ring of Xiao Qi's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul; this counts as mercy toward her."
Xiao Wu was still somewhat righteous and indignant, "Brother San, you are still too merciful toward this kind of evil soul beast." Then she changed the subject, "However, this benefits Xiao Qi, so count it as a bargain for her. But Brother San, what if that Deep Sea Demon Whale Queen goes to find Xiao Qi later? You also said Da Ming and Er Ming cannot casually walk out of the Hao Tian Sect. If they are too late, then Xiao Qi she…"
Tang San nodded, just about to open his mouth, when suddenly his face changed. He turned his head abruptly, looking towards the east.
A beam of purple light shot out from within twisted space, arriving before Tang San. As the purple light flashed, it gradually transformed into a figure of the Destruction God wearing a large purple cloak. The eyes under the hood flashed with red light from time to time, and simultaneously, a sharp yet deep aura emanated from this phantom.
"Destruction, what matter brings you to find me?"
Seeing the visitor, Tang San's voice cooled down. While indifferently gazing at the Destruction God, he waved his hand to let Xiao Wu, who was staring angrily at the Destruction God, leave first.
The Destruction God only stared at Tang San, completely ignoring Xiao Wu. Until after Xiao Wu left did he slowly open his mouth.
"Sea God, you have been exposed!"
In an instant, the air in this area seemed to freeze.
Tang San's face seemed to become ugly, "Destruction God, I, as the God Realm Enforcer, have always been conscientious and never bent the law for personal gain. Do not slander me here."
The Destruction God showed no movement, saying coldly: "Sea God, you say I am slandering you, could it be you are not clear about what you did yourself?" Beneath the cloak, destruction aura rippled. With every word spat out, the air seemed to become several degrees colder.
Tang San's gaze was cold, not moved in the slightest.
Seeing this, Destruction's tone became even colder.
"Are you playing dumb? Just now you made a move on the Douluo Plane; I sensed it clearly. What exactly did you do? We can also use the God Realm Core to check and see!"
"What? You still won't admit it?"
Facing the cold Destruction God, Tang San did not deny it either.
"Correct, I did interfere."
"Heh, it's good you admit it."
The Destruction God sneered once, "You interfering in the lower world has already violated the rules of the God Realm, plus you are the God Realm Enforcer yet you knowingly break the law, then you should know what the consequences are, right?"
"Those who violate God Realm rules will be erased!"
Tang San's expression remained unchanged, not scared by Destruction in the slightest. "I interfered in the lower world for a reason. Could it be that I saw my daughter encountering a crisis and couldn't rescue her? Then what kind of father would I count as!?"
He stared straight at Destruction, not retreating in the slightest.
"If you, Destruction, prioritize reason over emotion, then we will convene the God Committee and discuss how this matter should ultimately be handled."
For a time, the Destruction God fell into silence.
After a long while, "This won't be necessary, but let there not be a next time."
After speaking, that figure once again turned into purple light and dissipated. Only Tang San was left standing in place with an ugly face. Perceiving that everyone in the lower world had awakened and stepped onto the territory of the Star Luo Empire, he had no joy of a "victor".
He was very clear about what the Destruction God's splitting off a strand of divine sense just now was for. It was nothing more than worrying that he would use the excuse of saving his daughter to interfere in the lower world, taking the opportunity, and then specifically coming over to obstruct him.
A moment later, a sigh was transmitted.
"What a pity, the opportunity just now was rare."
At the same time, in the Destruction Temple.
"Tang San, you really have many little moves."
After the divine sense dissipated, the Destruction God had already clarified all matters of their conversation, and also saw through the clues within.
In the past, he did not pay attention to these things. Although he also knew clearly that Xiao Qi going to the Douluo Plane because she was playful was Tang San's wording, and actually he wanted to let Xiao Qi act as a pawn, the Destruction God only felt regret for Xiao Qi, but stopped there.
After all, Tang San as a father couldn't possibly harm his daughter.
As for other matters…
As long as the God Realm could grow strong, it was all fine.
His incompatibility with Tang San was also limited to differing ideologies.
(Destruction God: At least I thought so.)
However, now it was different. A new star was rising, capable of bringing new vitality to the God Realm; it couldn't be ruined by Tang San.
So just now, he would make a move to add obstruction.
"Tang San, oh Tang San…"
Inside the great hall, the Destruction God sat on the throne lost in thought. Perhaps, he needed to put more attention on the Douluo Plane.
