Chapter 356: Beware of Destruction's Emotional Manipulation
Tang San looked at Zhou Weiqing with a sincere expression and said, "Weiqing, you know that I have always been a man of great wisdom, capable of devising flawless strategies. But while I am unmatched in the art of crafting hidden weapons, I am actually not very skilled in forging divine artifacts. That is why, in order to make it easier for you to deliver information, I specially asked the Fire God to help me create a set of divine artifacts. They are called the Seagod Orders, and their greatest function is to secretly transmit messages. I have given you one, and I also have one myself."
The Fire God?!
Zhou Weiqing looked at Tang San in surprise. He hadn't expected Tang San's relationship with the Fire God to be so close. It was well known that the Fire God was a First Class God and a member of the Elemental Gods.
The seven Elemental Gods of the Divine Realm had always been united and generally remained neutral, rarely involving themselves in the power struggles between Tang San and the Destruction God. However, due to their divine natures, the Elemental Gods tended to favor the Seagod.
But favoring someone and fully siding with them were two completely different things.
Forging divine artifacts, even for the Fire God, was an extremely demanding task. For him to willingly craft a divine artifact for Tang San, did this mean that the entire Elemental God faction had now shifted to support Tang San?
Seeing Zhou Weiqing's stunned expression, Tang San felt rather pleased with himself.
In reality, he had only managed to persuade the Fire God thanks to the Water God.
Among the Elemental Gods, the Water God's divine authority overlapped the most with the Seagod's. As a result, the Seagod and the Water God had always maintained a close relationship throughout the generations.
And because Tang San had once controlled the Divine Realm Core, he had deliberately favored the Water God over the years, winning his goodwill.
The Fire God and the Water God were husband and wife. So, all Tang San had to do was convince the Water God to persuade the Fire God.
With a little pillow talk, everything fell into place.
Zhou Weiqing accepted the Seagod Order and then looked at Tang San.
"Senior Tang San, if my Lord's plan to expand the Divine Realm is completely thwarted, would I be able to stop monitoring him and reporting to you? After all, my Lord has treated me with great kindness, and continuing to betray him like this weighs heavily on my conscience."
Tang San's expression became serious.
"Absolutely not! Weiqing, you must beware of Destruction's emotional manipulation!"
"Even if we defeat his current plans, who's to say he won't try again? We must always be on guard!"
"For the sake of the Divine Realm's safety, we cannot afford to let our vigilance drop. As long as you remain within Destruction's faction, you must continue to report his every move to me through the Seagod Order."
As he spoke, he patted Zhou Weiqing's shoulder, his voice filled with sympathy.
"Weiqing, I understand that this has been a heavy burden on your heart. I truly do. But sometimes, for the greater good, we must make sacrifices. Everything you are doing today for the Divine Realm's safety I will never forget it."
Zhou Weiqing looked at Tang San's serious expression, fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
"You are right, Senior Tang San. I was thinking too simply. Even if my Lord's current plan fails, he will never truly give up. He will definitely keep searching for ways to expand the Divine Realm. So, I will do as you say."
Tang San smiled, his gaze filled with approval.
"Good, Weiqing. You truly have a grand vision. Now, return to your post. If anything happens, inform me immediately. I will begin preparations in secret."
Tang San arrived at a section of the Divine Realm's barrier.
This particular area was one of the sturdiest parts, containing a high concentration of Divine Realm energy.
If he was going to steal energy, he couldn't choose a weaker part of the barrier those were the places Destruction monitored most closely.
If Divine Realm energy suddenly dropped there, Destruction would immediately notice.
Moreover, Tang San still lived in the Divine Realm.
Weakening its barrier would reduce its defenses, which was not in his best interest.
In Tang San's mind…
"As long as I can execute my brilliant plans, the Divine Realm is already mine."
"And all its Divine Realm energy… is my future property."
"Yet Destruction dares to waste my resources on expansion?!"
"Unforgivable!"
Meanwhile, at the Barrier
Tang Hao frowned at Tang San.
"Xiao San, why did you bring us to such a remote place?"
Beside him, Ah Yin clung to his arm and smiled.
"Hao ge, maybe Xiao San has something important to show us."
As Tang San's parents, they had been left with nothing to do ever since they were brought back to the Divine Realm after their capture by the Destruction God.
Originally, Tang San had planned for Tang Hao to become the master of Douluo Star's plane and for Ah Yin to become the planet's Core of Life.
That bright future was ruined when Destruction intervened.
Tang San smiled and said, "Father, Mother, I do indeed have something to show you Faith Power."
"In the Divine Realm, many gods refer to it as Divine Realm Energy."
"Now that you both reside here, even though the Divine Realm's immortal energy nourishes you, you have lost your connection to Douluo Star."
"But, if I give you enough Faith Power, I can restore your connection!"
"With it, you can remotely refine Douluo Star's Will and even absorb the Golden Tree's power preparing you for your return to the planet."
Tang San had never given up on Douluo Star.
In his eyes, the planet was far from perfect.
It would only be "perfect" once it became the "Tang Family Star."
For that to happen, his parents played a key role.
Faith Power was one of the most powerful energies in existence it had formed the Divine Realm itself.
Naturally, it could serve other purposes as well.
Tang Hao was shocked.
"Faith Power?! But Ah Yin and I don't have divine positions how could we possibly possess Faith Power? Are you going to share your own?"
Tang San nodded without hesitation.
"That's right."
"After all, the Divine Realm already belongs to me. The Divine Realm Energy is my future inheritance."
"Taking a portion of what is already mine for my parents is only natural."
Ah Yin hesitated.
"Xiao San… wouldn't this affect your cultivation? You don't have to go to such lengths for us."
She gently held Tang San's hand, her voice filled with concern.
"Even if, as you say, I could become the Core of Life and Hao ge could become a Plane Lord, our personal strength… doesn't really matter to us."
"After all… we are only here today because we have a son like you."
"Not because of our own power."
