"Third Brother, you've walked back and forth almost a hundred times."
"Sit down and rest for a while."
Inside a blue mansion in the God Realm, a woman of stunning beauty sat in a chair, watching the blue-haired man pacing back and forth before her.
The woman gently swayed her scorpion braid ponytail behind her head, her beautiful eyes filled with deep, tangible worry.
"I'm fine, Xiao Wu."
"It's just a habit of pacing back and forth when I'm thinking."
Tang San's face was a little pale, and he looked at the person he deeply loved with a touch of doting affection.
Xiao Wu didn't believe his explanation. Her eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips, saying,
"Is it still about the Destruction God King and the Goddess of Life placing the statues on Douluo Continent?"
Tang San sighed, walked to the stained-glass window of the Sea God's mansion, placed his palm on the windowsill, and pressed down slightly, his fingertips turning slightly white from the pressure.
"Yes."
"While the Goddess of Life was in charge of the central hub of the God Realm, she colluded with the God King of Destruction to send divine statues to Douluo Continent."
"If that were all, I wouldn't say anything, but those two just happened to send statues to the Clear Sky Sect, Shrek Academy, and Sunset Forest!"
"Those statues carry the divine consciousness of the God King of Destruction and the Goddess of Life; they clearly want to monitor Douluo Continent!"
"As a God King who emerged from Douluo Continent, how can I tolerate such behavior?"
"Not to mention me, the beings on Douluo Continent wouldn't want divine consciousness constantly scanning their daily lives!"
Looking at Tang San, who spoke righteously and with an air of noble integrity, Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with admiration and love.
In her eyes, her third brother was just like that, always considering the future of Douluo Continent.
"Third Brother, how about I go talk to the God of Destruction and the others?"
"Perhaps for Xiao Qi's sake, they might back down."
Hearing Xiao Wu mention Xiao Qi, Tang San felt a pang of pain in his teeth. He was still hiding the fact that Xiao Qi's consciousness had split into three parts; he dared not tell Xiao Wu.
The only one in the entire God Realm who knew about this was the Butterfly Goddess.
Thinking of her, a hint of killing intent flickered in Tang San's azure eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
Just as the Butterfly Goddess had guessed, after she handed over her divine position to the future, reunited Xiao Qi, Tang San would use his Blue Silver Binding and the Trident of the Sea God to stab her to death after she had left the God Realm for a while!
He would bury this matter completely in the past, making it an insignificant ripple in the river of time.
As for whether the reunited Xiao Qi would still be the same Xiao Qi, Tang San didn't care. He figured if she was, then she was, and no one would notice anything amiss with Xiao Qi.
Under Xiao Wu's questioning gaze, Tang San concealed the killing intent in his eyes and looked at her gently.
"No need."
"Since they've chosen to go this far, there's nothing more to discuss."
"I will absolutely not abandon the beings of Douluo Continent!"
"For them, it's nothing more than fighting them!"
"From now on, whoever owns Douluo Continent will have to rely on their own abilities!"
Looking at the confident and composed Tang San, Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled, and she threw herself into his arms.
"Yes!"
"My Third Brother will always be the most righteous!"
"Just like when we defeated the Spirit Hall, we will definitely defeat the Destruction Faction!"
"If the beings of Douluo Continent knew this, they would admire you even more!"
"To be honest, I really miss Xiao Qi."
"I wonder how she's doing in the lower realm."
Tang San really wanted to skip over anything related to Xiao Qi, but unfortunately, it was Xiao Wu, and he couldn't avoid it.
"Don't worry, my good wife."
"Da Ming and Er Ming have been taking care of Xiao Qi in the mortal realm; they love her dearly."
"Don't you trust your brothers?"
Xiao Wu, eyes closed, nuzzled against Tang San's chest and said,
"Hmph."
"If Da Ming and Er Ming dare to bully Xiao Qi, I'll teach them a lesson when they return to the God Realm!"
Tang San rested his chin on Xiao Wu's hair, inhaling her familiar scent, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Tang San had no intention of letting Da Ming and Er Ming return to the God Realm.
They had spent too much time with Wang Dong'er, becoming too familiar with her every move; in a sense, they were also unstable factors.
If they returned to the God Realm, and something went wrong when they settled accounts with Xiao Wu, how could he face her?
Wouldn't that be terrible?
Since Da Ming and Er Ming were Xiao Wu's family, he wouldn't kill them.
However, neither of them could return to the God Realm; they'd better stay in the mortal realm.
Moreover, they could serve as two important pawns in his schemes on Douluo Continent.
Using the Clear Sky Sect as a base, they could assist him in monitoring the destiny of Douluo Continent and countering the Destruction God King's plot.
As for whether the two brothers would betray him, Tang San hadn't even considered it.
In his view, it was better to believe that Destruction and Life could have children than to believe that Da Ming and Er Ming would betray him.
Tang San quietly held Xiao Wu in the Sea God's Mansion.
Soon, his divine sense stirred, and he released his arms from Xiao Wu, softly saying to her,
"Mu Bai and the others are here."
"You should go inside first."
"I need to discuss some things with them."
Xiao Wu was a little dissatisfied, then said,
"What's wrong?"
"Why do you have to avoid me when you're discussing things?"
"Are you looking down on me?"
"You know, I'm also a member of the Shrek Seven Devils!"
Tang San hurriedly waved his hands, saying,
"No, no."
"I'm discussing with them how to deal with the increasingly frequent provocations from the Destruction Faction."
"You know, I've never wanted you to get involved in this."
"You have a good relationship with the Goddess of Life, and I don't want you to be embarrassed or caught in the middle."
Hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Wu was very moved, directly kissing Tang San's cheek, then taking a few steps back, and said sweetly,
"Then I'll leave it to you."
After saying that, Xiao Wu went directly back to her residence deep within the Sea God's Mansion, where Dai Mu Bai and the others had also arrived.
"Xiao San!"
A burly, blond man stepped across the threshold of the Sea God's Mansion and came before Tang San.
It was Dai Mu Bai, the current God of War.
Behind him followed a cool, black-haired woman, her black outfit showcasing her beautiful figure. She was Zhu Zhuqing, the Goddess of Speed.
The Goddess of Speed nodded slightly to Tang San.
"Third Brother!"
"Third Brother!"
Immediately after, a beautiful woman in a yellow dress and a bearded man with captivating eyes arrived at the Sea God's residence.
Tang San greeted them with a gentle smile.
"Mu Bai, Zhu Qing, Rong Rong, Xiao Ao, welcome."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Where's Ma Hongjun?"
"The God of Emotions isn't here either?"
Dai Mubai hesitated, then said helplessly to Tang San,
"Fatty said he's not coming."
"Just let him know if anything happens."
"He'll do his best to help."
"The God of Emotions declined the invitation, citing his need to be with his wife."
Tang San's face darkened, and he shook his head, saying to the group,
"Since that's the case, then everyone's here. Follow me."
Tang San then led the four to a council hall in the Sea God's residence.
Sensing their arrival, the luxurious crystal chandeliers automatically turned on, filling the room with soft light and illuminating their faces.
In the center of the hall was a large, azure round table surrounded by seven chairs.
Tang San went straight to the head seat at the top of the table, and the others followed suit.
He looked around, noticing the two empty seats, a gloom settling over him.
Ma Hongjun's absence wasn't a problem, as long as he was willing to contribute; the real issue was the absence of the God of Emotions, Rong Nianbing!
Rong Nianbing was on good terms with the seven elemental gods of the God Realm, forming a small group of eight.
Each of them was a top-tier main god, no less powerful than the seven original sin gods of the destruction faction!
If he could gain Rong Nianbing's help, it would be tantamount to winning over the elemental gods.
With their support, Tang San would be confident he could rival, or even surpass, the Destruction Faction.
The Destruction Gods had always been on his side, ready to stab the Destruction God King in the back at any time!
Rong Nianbing's absence, while seemingly silent, was sometimes a clear indication of his stance.
Rong Nianbing didn't support him.
This information filled Tang San's mind. Losing Rong Nianbing was equivalent to losing seven elemental gods.
Without the support of eight main gods, he would struggle to contend with the Destruction Faction for control of the God Realm.
The Destruction Faction, cultivated by the Destruction God King for years, was a unified force; the Destruction God King's will was the Destruction Faction's will.
Not to mention the Goddess of Life, who could aid the Destruction God King at any moment.
To win, he needed the support of Good and Evil, as well as Rong Nianbing and others.
Now that Rong Nianbing had made his stance clear, Good and Evil were secretly plotting, unwilling to interfere.
Tang San looked at the four people before him, a sense of desolation creeping into his heart.
In the end, only five second-level gods and one first-level god truly belonged to his faction.
Aside from himself, the God of Destruction wouldn't even need to lift a finger to deal with them; the seven Original Sin Gods could easily take them all away.
However, the God of Destruction always adhered to the rules of the God Realm and wouldn't kill gods, which was a point he could exploit.
"Everyone, you've all seen the God of Destruction's recent actions, "
Tang San said in a deep voice.
"We must retaliate! "
Dai Mubai and the others immediately straightened their backs, looking at Tang San seriously and saying,
"Yes, we know."
"The God of Destruction is trying to seize control of Douluo Continent."
"Little San, what do you think we should do?!"
Tang San tapped the table and said to the four,
"The Destruction faction is far stronger than us!"
"That's an undeniable fact."
"If we fight them head-on, we will undoubtedly lose!"
Dai Mubai and the others nodded slightly; they knew they were no match for the Destruction faction.
"Tang San, since you called us here today, you must have some ideas, right?"
Dai Mubai stared intently at Tang San.
"You're known as the God of Wisdom; you led us to defeat the powerful Spirit Empire."
No one present doubted Tang San's wisdom; they had all come this far thanks to him.
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Tang San smiled and said,
"Of course."
"I've found a way."
The four of them tensed, leaning forward to hear Tang San's plan.
"We are not planning a full-scale war with the Destruction Faction."
"The God King of Destruction has no intention of engaging in a direct conflict with us."
"Because that would violate the rules of the God Realm."
"Ultimately, we are actually vying for control of Douluo Continent."
"And Douluo Continent is our place of ascension, where our power and bloodline reside."
"In this respect, we have an advantage over the Destruction Faction."
"To sever the evil hand of the God King of Destruction reaching towards Douluo Continent, we only need to firmly grasp one person!"
Dai Mubai said in a deep voice:
"Who is it?"
Tang San smiled confidently and said:
"The Chosen One."
"That's right, after ten thousand years since me, Douluo Continent has once again given birth to a Chosen One."
"And the Chosen One carries the destiny of the plane; he is destined to become a god. With his help, we can sever the God King of Destruction's hand."
The God King of Destruction can't say anything, because the Chosen One's choice also represents the plane's own choice."
"Gods cannot interfere with the development of a plane; this is the rule, and the God King of Destruction will not break the rule."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the people below all lit up.
Dai Mubai hurriedly asked Tang San,
"Where is the Chosen One now?"
Tang San's face was full of confidence as he projected several images through his divine sense, which floated in the center of the round table.
The photos showed a boy with white hair and blue eyes, wearing a warm smile.
"It's him!"
"I've been observing him for a long time! There's absolutely no mistake!"
"The Chosen One of Douluo Continent is this boy named Bai E!"
Dai Mubai and the others immediately began to carefully observe Bai E's appearance, and then a small detail startled them.
Because there were faint purple lightning runes on Bai E's forehead.
Mortals might not recognize what this was, but these gods knew perfectly well that it was the mark of a divine examiner!
Dai Mubai's throat trembled, and he turned to look at Tang San, saying,
"Is he the successor of the God King of Destruction?"
"Little San, it seems we're a step too late."
Tang San shook his head, denying Dai Mubai's statement.
"No, in my opinion, this is actually a good thing."
"It means that controlling the chosen one of destiny also means controlling the future God of Destruction!"
Seeing Tang San's confident expression, Dai Mubai chose to believe him.
"So, Tang San, how should we control him?"
"And then make him our blade in the future?"
Tang San moved his hand, taking out a plan from thin air, and waved it slightly, saying to everyone:
"A destiny."
"A carefully prepared script of destruction."
"And a torment called reincarnation." "
To control a person, you must tear their body apart, burn their soul, obliterate their will, and finally personally create a new life for them."
"And this grand drama requires the participation of all of you."
"We will hold destiny in our hands and control destruction!"
Tang San's eyes gleamed with astonishing wisdom!
His palms raised upwards like the wise Hermes, but in reality, he looked more like a clueless clown.
