The God of Destruction glared angrily at the gods, his eyes flashing with a scarlet light.
Even though it was hidden by his hood, the gods couldn't help but shudder.
He had finally managed to steal a moment of leisure today to visit his wife in the Forest of Life, but he hadn't expected that these guys would give him such a huge ordeal after he was only gone for a short while!
"You guys are all pretty capable, aren't you?!"
"Using the Seven Deadly Sins, the Seven Elements, and the True Meaning of Slaughter near the God Realm Barrier?!"
"Do you think the God Realm Barrier needs renovation, so you've started tearing it down?"
The God of Destruction gripped a phantom purple lightning scepter, a projection of the Destruction Scepter.
The real scepter was in Bai E's spiritual sea. He swept his unfriendly gaze over Rong Nianbing and the God of Greed.
Rong Nianbing chuckled and stood with the seven elemental gods, saying,
"I just came to mediate."
"Who knew we'd see this scene upon arrival? We had no choice then,"
the God of Greed hurriedly explained, picking up his glasses from the ground.
"My lord, you know me!"
"If I were to start a fight, I wouldn't confront them directly. I only like to play dirty tricks!"
The God of Pride frantically waved his hands, saying,
"My lord, you also know me! I only like collecting rare wood; I would never fight in the forest!"
The God of Sloth also said wearily,
"My lord, you know me. I only like sleeping; I never like to start trouble."
Looking at this group of original sin gods shaking their heads like rattles, the God of Destruction was speechless.
He looked at Tang San ahead and said in a deep voice,
"Tang San!"
"You should give me an explanation for why you used the Asura Blood Sword near the barrier of the God Realm?!"
"As a god of enforcement, you know this violates the rules of the divine realm!"
At this moment, the God of Kindness and the God of Evil finally arrived from the horizon.
They had originally intended to descend to the mortal realm, but this incident had suddenly occurred.
The God of Kindness was holding a pale-faced woman in his arms; it was none other than Xiao Wu, who had been blown away by divine power earlier. Thanks to the Sea God's divine position, she was unharmed.
Upon seeing this, the Goddess of Life floated to the God of Kindness's side, took Xiao Wu, and covered her with a green light representing life force, healing her wounds.
Tang San glanced over and breathed a sigh of relief, then coldly said to the God of Destruction,
"It was you Sin Gods who attacked first; I'm just here for revenge!"
The God of Arrogance immediately lost his temper, angrily retorting,
"Don't make false accusations!"
"The Sin Gods have never left the Land of Original Sin!"
"I've been searching for rare wood in the Sin Forest! You came to the skies above the Sin Forest without explanation and then attacked me!"
"Although we Sin Gods are in charge of original sin, we are not evil gods!
We have always been law-abiding and obeyed our Lord's orders!"
"We absolutely did not attack you!"
The other Sin Gods also glared indignantly at Tang San in the sky.
They felt wronged; they were enjoying hotpot and singing in the Land of Original Sin when Tang San suddenly attacked them, and they didn't even know why!
The God of Destruction looked at Tang San and said,
"Did the God of Original Sin attack you?"
"Do you have any evidence?"
"If it's true, according to the rules of the God Realm, Little Green will use the God Realm's central hub to bring divine punishment upon them!"
The Goddess of Life also looked at Tang San, awaiting his proof.
If the God of Original Sin truly attacked first, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life wouldn't cover it up; they would punish them as they should.
The God of Goodness and the God of Evil also spoke together:
"That's right, Sea God. Most of the first-level gods and supreme gods of the God Realm are here. We will give you the fairest judgment."
Tang San's lips moved, his face alternating between white and green. He suddenly realized that he couldn't prove he had been attacked.
How could he prove it?
Should he tell them that he was examining his daughter's memories in the lower realm, ambushed by the God of Pride, and his soul was shattered into nine pieces?
He definitely couldn't tell anyone!
Neither examining his daughter's memories nor the fact that his soul was shattered into nine pieces could be told to the God of Destruction and his group!
Wang Dong's situation is self-evident.
The God of Destruction has truly extended his reach into the lower realms.
What if this attracts the God of Destruction's attention, and he decides to check on his daughter?
The God of Destruction is absolutely capable of doing such a thing!
He and his wife have always been very concerned about Xiao Qi. If they get close to her and discover the abnormality in her soul, they're truly doomed!
Not only will they be destroyed, but Xiao Wu won't forgive them either! If anything happens to Xiao Wu because of this, they might not want to live anymore.
They also can't reveal that their soul is split into nine parts; family scandals shouldn't be aired in public.
Tang San would absolutely not reveal his situation to outsiders. In his view, outsiders are highly likely to take advantage of his weakness and kill him!
Because if he knew that the God of Destruction's soul was split into nine parts, he would definitely seize the opportunity to strike first!
Putting himself in the God of Destruction's shoes, he felt that the God of Destruction would do the same! After all, their two factions are currently irreconcilable enemies.
Seeing Tang San suspended in mid-air, unable to utter a word, the God King of Destruction's expression grew increasingly cold beneath his robes, and his voice, like thunder, resounded throughout the God Realm.
"Tang San, speak!"
"Where's the evidence? Are you trying to make fun of me?"
"My Annihilation Divine Thunder is no less powerful than your Asura Blood Sword!"
If Tang San really attacked his subordinate, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, without cause, then the God of Destruction would truly be enraged.
He had to respond no matter what; his underling had been attacked, and if he didn't, what would the other gods think?
Rong Nianbing, watching from afar, was truly at a loss.
He watched as the God of Destruction raised his Destruction Scepter and pointed it at Tang San, clearly preparing for war.
The elemental gods beside him were also extremely worried.
"Is this going to turn into a fight? Which side are we on?"
the Water God couldn't help but ask, and the Fire God beside him couldn't help but say,
"That's right, what should we do next?"
"The Sea God really can't produce any evidence, can he?"
"The God Realm is about to have a civil war!"
Rong Nianbing stamped his foot anxiously. He knew that the Sea God's situation was indeed very strange, but he didn't know why the Sea God wouldn't speak.
"If only I had passed on the divine position earlier! I should have quickly taken my family and left this damned God Realm."
"If this really turns into a civil war, there's no way to escape!"
Rong Nianbing secretly regretted that he shouldn't have stayed in this God Realm and should have just followed the example of the old Sea God and the old Asura God and died.
Tang San looked at the Destruction Scepter pointing directly at him, the purple lightning radiating a terrifying power capable of destroying everything.
He frowned and weighed the pros and cons.
"I can't start a war with Destruction now. I have to deal with those eight consciousnesses in my body first."
"If I fight Destruction to a draw, those suicidal guys will definitely take advantage of my misfortune and try to divide my divine consciousness!"
"I absolutely can't fight!"
Tang San hated Destruction, but he hated Tang San even more!
Destruction would at most imprison him and take away his law enforcement power, but he would basically not kill him.
Tang San was different! Those newborns would really kill him and take away all his power and status, including Xiao Wu!
Finally, Tang San withdrew his overwhelming killing intent and chose to back down.
He slowly floated to the side of the Goddess of Life, took Xiao Wu from her, returned to his Sea God position, and said to the God King of Destruction,
"This time, I have lost."
"However, I did not lie. Let the Goddess of Life check the flow of divine power in and out of the divine realm, and she will know that I am telling the truth!"
"Destruction, we will meet again!"
Tang San did not want to stay in this heartbreaking place any longer.
He had not only failed to avenge himself, but had also allowed those consciousnesses to touch the position of the Asura God.
He had lost both his wife and his army!
With no gods stopping Tang San, Rong Nianbing and the others breathed a sigh of relief; at least the outcome was developing in a positive direction.
Neither the Sea God nor the God King of Destruction wanted to start a war now.
"Farewell!"
Rong Nianbing bowed to the God King of Destruction, then quickly led the elemental gods away from this place of trouble.
The God of Destruction looked at Little Green and said,
"Could you check the barrier of the divine realm?"
"Is it true that the power of original sin is entering and leaving the divine realm?"
The Goddess of Life closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and began searching for relevant information through the central hub of the divine realm. She quickly opened her eyes and said with a questioning tone,
"Little Purple, it really is. It's the power of arrogance."
The God of Destruction's eyes widened as he looked down at the God of Arrogance and said,
"You should have heard that."
"Tell me, what have you done?"
The other gods of original sin immediately distanced themselves from the God of Arrogance, looking at their colleague with admiration.
"Arrogance, you're amazing!"
"No, you should have said so earlier! If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have spoken so loudly."
