The reason Tang San was willing to fully disclose his plan, rather than secretly transmit the inheritance seeds of the God of Life and the God of Destruction back to the Douluo plane,was ultimately because the central energy of the God Realm was insufficient — they needed to rely on power beyond the core.
To safely transport the inheritance seeds of two God-King-level positions back to the Douluo plane, the best source of energy was undoubtedly the dwellings of the God of Destruction and the God of Life — Destruction Castle and Forest of Life.
God Kings Purple (Destruction) and Green (Life) were born at the very founding of the God Realm — the most ancient god-kings. The places they resided in were infused with God King power for countless years.
If they dismantled Destruction Castle and the Forest of Life and refined the accumulated energy, it would definitely suffice to return the inheritance seeds of their respective god positions safely to the Douluo plane.
However, doing so would cause a huge stir.
The many Level-One gods — the loyal followers of the two God Kings — would be a major obstacle that could not be avoided.
Therefore, they had to be reasoned with and persuaded beforehand — fully handled.
Tang San not only thought this — he planned to do it.
"By dismantling Destruction Castle and the Forest of Life, refining the god power gathered there over countless years, we can safely transmit the inheritance seeds of the God of Destruction and the God of Life back to the Douluo plane."
"That way, we won't have to consume the central energy of the God Realm anymore and can fully focus on resisting the God Realm of the Six God Kings."
As he said this, he suddenly slammed the table with a loud bang.
Immediately, the seven Sin Gods, the most loyal faction under the God of Destruction, stood up from their seats with wide eyes.
After all, Destruction Castle and the Forest of Life weren't just homes for the two God Kings — they were also the homes of these followers!
Before they could even speak, Tang San cut them off directly:
"I know what the Sin Gods want to say. I also don't wish to destroy the homes you've lived in with the God of Destruction for countless years."
"But if the God Realm falls to Di Tian, then no one — not young nor old — will survive. What use would the Forest of Life or Destruction Castle be then?"
"If we can defeat Di Tian and all ends well, I, Tang San, will personally build new homes for the God of Destruction and the God of Life — and return your sanctuary to you."
"You all seem like you're about to refuse… Could it be that you would ignore the safety of the entire God Realm?"
Yet Tang San's half-hearted promises and thinly veiled threats failed to convince the seven Sin Gods.
The God of Pride, with two demonic horns on his head, spoke in a deep voice:
"For the sake of the God Realm, we certainly have no objections."
"If giving up our homes could save the God Realm, we would agree."
"However, when it comes to the inheritance seeds of our master's god positions, we have no right to decide in place of the masters."
"Since our two masters won't return for another ten thousand years, and they've handed the inheritance seeds to a God King, during these ten thousand years, the God King naturally has the right to use that power to help the God Realm through the crisis."
"But as for the God King's current plan — forgive us, but we cannot agree."
"Previously, the God King attempted to send the Shura God's inheritance seed and its divine weapon — the Shura Sword — back to the Douluo plane, but ultimately failed."
"And now, with our masters' inheritance seeds, how confident are you in defeating Di Tian?"
After a brief pause, the God of Pride glanced at the other Sin Gods and continued:
"In my humble opinion, it would be better to select suitable inheritors within the God Realm, and let them cultivate to inherit our masters' god positions."
"That way, we would gain two certain God-King-level powers."
"Even if Di Tian returns for vengeance, with five God Kings and the many gods we've cultivated over the ages, we still have a chance at victory."
"At this critical moment in our confrontation with the God Realm of the Six God Kings, we must not shake our foundation recklessly."
"Moreover, with five God Kings overseeing the God Realm, even if we lose the bid to lead the future Divine Ring, we can still hold significant influence with their power."
"Once the seven God Realms merge into the Divine Ring, we can invite the Six-God-King God Realm to join the integration of our energy cores into a single Divine Core."
"If successful, we become a shared community of mutual prosperity and loss."
"Even if the Six God Kings bear no past hatred toward Di Tian, once we clash with him, they will stand with us."
"With the combined power of more than ten God Kings — how could Di Tian not be defeated?"
To be honest, what the God of Pride said was entirely reasonable.
They were still within a cosmic black hole — Di Tian couldn't just suddenly attack.
What truly mattered now was competing with the Six-God-King God Realm for dominance over the future Divine Ring — that was the top priority.
Accumulate strength, prepare in advance, and wait to counter Di Tian's revenge — that was the smart move.
Unfortunately, a plan that made perfect strategic sense didn't meet Tang San's interests.
At this moment, a sharp light flashed in Tang San's eyes.
From law enforcer to ruling God King, he'd been at this for many years — and nearly everything he started, he finished.
Were there gods who opposed him?
Sure — but rarely, unless they no longer cared about their god positions.
Now, as he looked at the seven Sin Gods, he saw signs that they no longer cared for their positions.
He had no intention of continuing the act.
If this confrontation were taking place anywhere else in the Douluo God Realm, he might be cautious about the Sin Gods' fused divine powers.
But the current meeting was taking place in the God Realm Committee, the very central core of the Douluo God Realm — under his full control.
Here, even the Sin Gods' divine punishment formation — which had power surpassing an ordinary God King — could be disabled, and any power fusion would be interrupted by the central system he controlled.
As for the "justification" to act?
These mere seven Level-One Gods daring to challenge the supreme authority of the Douluo God Realm's leader — wasn't that justification enough?
Moreover, he did indeed need a legitimate excuse to take down the seven Sin Gods.
On the other side, Dai Yuehao and Tang Wutong, through Rong Nianbing, had already negotiated with the seven Level-One Elemental Gods.
By using the unique nature of the Hao Dong divine power, Tang Wutong could secretly assist from the sidelines, transferring the power of the seven elemental gods into Dai Yuehao.
So while it looked like only Dai Yuehao was going up alone, in reality, eight Level-One Gods were stepping in.
With the help of one of the three great divine punishment formations — the Elemental Stripping Formation — and the Elemental Severing Blade, Dai Yuehao had attack power that surpassed a normal God King.
Meanwhile, for Tang San to borrow the power of the Sin Gods was extremely inconvenient.
After thinking it through under time pressure, he realized the best option was simply to make the Sin Gods suffer a little more.
Find a pretext to throw them into the God Realm prison, strip their god positions and divine powers — and make them into Tang San's secret trump cards.
