Chapter 18: The Attention of Destruction
"So that's how it is. This is good. The Academy values you, which is why they give you Cultivation resources."
Without asking what level of Soul Power Huo Yuhao had reached, Mu Jin waved her hand.
"Go eat. There's a practical combat class this afternoon, don't be late again."
Leaving the office and heading to the cafeteria, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice rang in his ears.
"Brother Huo, Wang Dong is coming towards you!"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had always kept his Spiritual Detection active, and his Spiritual Detection was much larger than Huo Yuhao's.
Frowning slightly, Huo Yuhao calmly headed in another direction.
Shrek Academy was very large, and Huo Yuhao took many turns, as if he were just strolling.
But he grew more and more anxious in his heart. According to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's detection, Wang Dong seemed to know where he was, chasing him!
Unconsciously, he had already walked to the edge of Sea God Lake.
Looking at the Sea God Lake before him, if he was still chased, he would have to swim across the lake and hide in Sea Gods Pavilion!
Huo Yuhao could only hide now!
He couldn't have any interaction with Wang Dong. Otherwise, once God King Tang discovered something amiss, with God King Tang's control over the Douluo Continent, whether it was the Clear Sky Sect's monkey and snake, the Sea God's sacrifice, or even a direct Divine Descent!
God King Tang was capable of such things!
"Master, if things go south, just take me and run."
"Don't worry, this Master will surely keep you safe."
Huo Yuhao's heart finally relaxed a little.
"Brother Huo! That Ma Xiaotao is coming!"
Tianmeng called out.
Huo Yuhao immediately looked towards Sea God Island, and sure enough, a figure in red flew over.
With fiery red wings, it was Ma Xiaotao.
As she got closer, Ma Xiaotao also saw Huo Yuhao, adjusted her direction, and landed beside him.
"Yuhao! Why are you here? I was just about to look for you!"
It was clear that Ma Xiaotao was very pleasantly surprised.
Adjusting his mood.
"I don't know either. After class, I just wanted to wander around, and I walked until I got here, then I met Sister Xiaotao."
"What a coincidence!"
"Maybe it's a spiritual connection."
"Smart mouth!"
Ma Xiaotao's already charming face gained a few more blushes.
"Let's go, little Yuhao. Sister will take you to the Inner Court. Master has prepared a pavilion for you! Oh, didn't you become the Dean's disciple? Then we would be fellow disciples! You could call me Senior Sister."
He held back from revealing that he was her Junior Martial Uncle.
"Of course not. I'm not like Sister Xiaotao, having a Dean for a Master."
"Hmmph, it's okay, big sister will look out for you in the Inner Court."
Before Huo Yuhao could react, he was boldly picked up by Ma Xiaotao.
Yes, it was a princess carry.
Under Huo Yuhao's steady gaze, Ma Xiaotao awkwardly explained.
"Oh, other poses aren't convenient!"
She ascended into the air, carrying Huo Yuhao and flying towards Sea God Island.
"Sister Xiaotao."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Is your evil flame acting up again?"
Being carried in such an awkward position, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel the scorching body temperature of Ma Xiaotao, her fair skin showing a charming reddish hue.
"Uh, I haven't Cultivated with full power for too long. The day before yesterday, when the evil flame settled down, I couldn't help but keep Cultivating..."
Ma Xiaotao: (๑ơ灬ơ)
Needless to say, Huo Yuhao understood why Ma Xiaotao came to the Outer Court to find him today.
She was looking for him to suppress her evil flame.
"Brother Huo, Wang Dong hasn't moved from the edge of Sea God Lake!"
This made Huo Yuhao breathe a sigh of relief.
"Yuhao, this Master has finally understood. That Sea God is still restricted by the God Realm rules and cannot openly control Wang Dong to contact you. Wang Dong is only under some influence from the Divine Sense in his sea of consciousness. Under this influence, Wang Dong still has his own consciousness, so there's no need to worry too much."
"That's for the best!"
...By the Sea God Lake, Wang Dong's handsome face was furrowed in a frown.
Why did he run to Sea God Lake? He just wandered here aimlessly.
Never mind, he would go find Xiao Xiao and take advantage of lunchtime to buy some fun things in Shrek City... "How could this be!"
In the God Realm, the pure and flawless Sea God, perceiving something through the means he left in the Lower Realm, suddenly flew into a rage.
"No! The Child of Luck must be in the hands of this God King! Ten thousand years, this God King has cultivated so many people on the Douluo Continent! Spent so much effort! Isn't this what they're for now!"
"Sea God, what are you doing here?"
The God of Destruction looked at the Sea God, whose expression kept changing at the passage between the God Realm and the Lower Realm, and said coldly.
Tang San was startled, almost speechless when he saw the God of Destruction.
"Ah, Destruction, it's nothing, just patrolling the God Realm."
"And what have you found in your patrol?"
"Nothing, our God Realm's defenses are impregnable."
Tang San laughed, but the opposite Destruction had a cold face and didn't smile at all!
"Then Sea God can continue patrolling slowly. The safety of the God Realm must not be compromised."
As soon as his voice fell, the God of Destruction disappeared without a trace.
"Damn Destruction!"
Tang San's face was grim! I am also a God King! What kind of attitude is that? Do you take me, the Asura God King, as your subordinate, the God King of Destruction? How dare you command this God King like that!
Destruction! You have found the Dao of death!
With a cold snort, Tang San left the area.
His ten-thousand-year plan was flawless. Now, it was just a tiny, insignificant error. With a slight intervention, he could bring the Child of Luck under his command.
A moment later, a figure in purple robes appeared here.
It was Destruction.
He had been in the Divine Palace accompanying Little Green when he suddenly had a premonition and followed the feeling here, coincidentally seeing the Sea God here, who seemed quite unhappy?
He immediately became suspicious, said a few casual words, and then left.
Now he had returned, intending to investigate.
Looking at the passage leading to the Lower Realm, Destruction's Divine Sense probed into it, carefully sensing.
Soon, Destruction's Divine Sense perceived that outside one of the main plane passages, another small passage was hidden and attached.
This was the Douluo Plane, the plane where the Sea God was born.
With Divine Sense overlooking the Douluo Plane, Destruction quickly discovered something unusual.
Ten thousand years ago, he had seen the Douluo Plane. At that time, nine deities suddenly appeared on this plane, and he couldn't afford not to pay attention.
Unfortunately, the divine positions of the Rakshasa God and the Angel God were shattered at that time.
It was shattered by the Sea God, which greatly displeased Destruction, who always cherished the God Realm. The divine positions in the God Realm were finite; shattering one meant that there would be no more of that deity, and the power of the God Realm was weakened.
He was about to confront the newly promoted Sea God, but the old Sea God and old Asura intervened and persuaded him, so he had to endure it.
But what angered him even more was this: the God Realm's central hub was originally managed by the five God Kings in rotation. It was one thing for the Sea God to inherit this power, but the previous God Kings of Goodness and Evil also entrusted their power to the Sea God. The current God Kings of Goodness and Evil didn't even have Divine Artifacts, nor did they care about the management rights of the God Realm's central hub. The Goddess of Life also didn't care about these things, so the great power of the God Realm was actually held by Tang San, who had only recently become a god!
