Upon hearing this, the Sea God's expression remained unchanged, though his eyes flickered slightly.
"God of Destruction, what exactly do you mean by this?"
"I believe the Sea God knows my meaning even better than I do," the God of Destruction said, staring intently at the Sea God as if trying to discern any change in his expression.
"The Sea God has only been in the God Realm for a few decades. Could it be that the time to search for a successor has already arrived so soon?"
The Sea God, unclear about the God of Destruction's intentions, paused for a moment before replying, "I bear both the Sea God and Asura God positions. If this continues, it will be detrimental to the God Realm. Naturally, I must pass on one of these god positions."
"After observing for several decades, I have finally found a suitable successor. What is wrong with this decision?"
"Even though you have repeatedly said that the God Realm will soon face a great calamity?" the God of Destruction pressed step by step. "In a situation where strength is needed, you still choose to look for a successor. Isn't this self-contradictory?"
"Is the great calamity you speak of fake, or is the matter of finding a successor fake?"
"On one hand, you deceive the gods of the God Realm to achieve your own selfish desires; on the other, you disregard the rules of the God Realm and descend to the mortal world… Choose one."
The Sea God's expression sank slightly. "So this is where you were waiting for me. Why do you think these two matters cannot both be true?"
As he spoke, the Sea God took a few steps. "The successor I value has both the strength and fortune of the highest caliber. Passing the god position to him will allow it to exert even greater power than if it remained in my hands."
"This action is also preparation for the upcoming calamity." The Sea God suddenly turned his head to look at the God of Destruction. "Does this explanation satisfy the God of Destruction?"
"Lord." Beside him, the God of Anger leaned closer to the God of Destruction and called out softly in a lowered voice.
The God of Destruction showed no reaction. Instead, he took two steps forward, closing the distance with the Sea God even more.
"Good, good, good!"
The God of Destruction said "good" three times in a row. Instead of anger appearing on his face, a trace of a smile emerged.
"The matter of the successor, I'll temporarily accept that you have a point. Whether this successor is real or fake, I have no interest in verifying it."
"I simply want to know: after you descended to the lower realm, one world deviated from its original trajectory of operation. How do you explain this?"
"What did you say?" The Sea God's voice finally showed some change.
"I said, while passing on the god position by descending to the lower realm does comply with the God Realm's rules, interfering with the operational trajectory of other worlds probably has nothing to do with finding a successor, right?"
"Nonsense!" The Sea God snorted coldly and turned his head to look at the God of Anger beside him. The coldness in his eyes shot out like something tangible. "Do you know what crime it is to slander a God King?"
"Sea God!" The God of Destruction stepped forward, positioning himself in front of the God of Anger. Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky above the God Realm, accompanied by rumbling thunder. Purple lightning continuously flickered within the clouds.
When a God King grew angry, heaven and earth were alarmed. The God of Destruction's voice became even deeper and lower. "Do not dodge the question. Was the deviation of that mortal world's trajectory caused by you?"
"Hmph, the operation of a world is influenced by many factors. It is common for it to deviate from its original trajectory. You allow your subordinates to fabricate facts like this, yet I still need to ask what exactly you mean by it."
Upon hearing this, the God of Anger's brows furrowed even tighter. "My subordinates, the Gods of Anger and Greed, have been paying attention to that world for a long time and have never discovered anything influencing its operation."
"Right after you went to the mortal world, that world suddenly deviated from its trajectory and began getting closer and closer to another world."
"And that other world is precisely the one you descended to. Does this matter really have nothing to do with you?"
Listening to the God of Destruction's accusations, the Sea God seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly relaxed a little. "Hmph, the Gods of Greed and Anger control two of the Seven Deadly Sins. For them to pay attention to that world, it must possess similar qualities."
"Perhaps it was precisely their greed that was drawn to the Douluo World. What does this have to do with me? Do you have any evidence to prove that I interfered in this matter?"
"You—"
Seeing the God of Destruction momentarily at a loss for words, the Sea God felt slightly more at ease.
Just as he had thought, the God of Destruction had no actual evidence. That was why only these few people had come to question him today.
If there had been evidence proving that the world had deviated from its original trajectory because of him, then today it would not have been just these people showing up, but all five Great God Kings arriving together.
"On the contrary, you are indulging your subordinates in slandering a God King—"
"Sea God!" Before the Sea God could finish, the God of Destruction interrupted him. "What a fine skill of turning the tables and striking back. Hmph, so you insist on refusing to admit it, is that it?"
"This matter was not done by me. What is there for me to admit?"
"You—" The God of Destruction was once again rendered speechless. "Fine, fine, fine. I originally thought that as a God King, you would naturally take responsibility for your actions. I didn't expect you to be such a rogue."
"Since you need evidence, then I shall find the evidence before coming again." The God of Destruction waved his sleeve and turned to leave.
Seeing this, the Sea God's expression eased slightly. However, after the God of Destruction had only taken two steps, he suddenly turned back. "From now on, I will be watching your every move."
"Let's go!"
Watching the God of Destruction and his group depart, the Sea God stood in place for a long time, ultimately saying nothing more.
After all, the matter of that world deviating from its original trajectory had indeed been done by him.
In fact, the Sea God's actions should have been much more discreet than they were now. However, some matters on the Douluo Continent had not developed according to his expectations.
The arrangements he had originally made had been unexpectedly destroyed. After descending to the lower realm, he discovered that the "successor" he had long determined upon had not developed as he had anticipated, and the day he would become a god still seemed far off.
Moreover, the person he had newly found to help him handle affairs… still harbored quite a few other little thoughts.
He could sense that the great calamity of the God Realm seemed to be drawing closer. Before that, he needed to arrange everything else properly before he could feel at ease.
The Sea God also knew that because of the God Realm's great calamity, he had opposed the God of Destruction's proposal to expand the God Realm, which had caused the God of Destruction's dissatisfaction. That was why, during his previous descent to the lower realm, he had taken action to advance some matters ahead of schedule.
He had originally thought that by using the excuse of looking after his successor, he could dispel the God of Destruction's suspicions. He had not expected that the other party would still notice the clues.
The Sea God stared fixedly in the direction the God of Destruction had left, his thoughts surging uncontrollably.
One day in the God Realm was one year in the mortal world. Since he had descended, several days had already passed, meaning several years had likely gone by on the Douluo Continent.
In such a long time, under his influence, the Douluo Continent should already have come into contact with that world.
Fortunately, due to the rules of the God Realm, the God of Destruction could not easily descend to the Douluo Continent. Otherwise, with the perspective of a god, he might have actually found some evidence.
However, this was ultimately not a long-term solution. Continuing like this would inevitably endanger himself…
