Chapter 357: The Arrival of Destruction
Tang San shook his head. "Mother, this kind of faith power is something I can afford to spare. You and Father should just use it without worry." After saying this, he instructed Tang Hao and Ah Yin to block their external senses and enter deep cultivation. This would allow them to focus entirely on their training.
Holding his Seagod Order, Tang San's mind was racing. "Now, it's time to use my status as a God King to extract Divine Realm Energy. Weiqing hasn't sent any alerts, which means Destruction hasn't returned to the Divine Realm yet. This is truly a golden opportunity."
The next moment, Tang San let out a low roar. His ocean blue hair instantly turned white, his muscles swelled, and a red nine ringed halo appeared behind his head. A powerful aura of slaughter radiated from him, but he controlled it tightly, keeping it from spreading beyond his immediate surroundings.
"Let's begin."
He stretched out his hand and, with the power of a God King, began drawing in Divine Realm Energy a small portion to supply his parents and the majority for himself.
In the Divine Realm, faith power was referred to as Divine Realm Energy because it was essentially generated by the thoughts and beliefs of living beings.
Above a dark fortress, waves of purple lightning roared across the sky, exuding an aura of destruction. Any passing god who saw this scene would instinctively choose to avoid the area this was, after all, the dwelling of the Destruction God.
Zhou Weiqing hovered above the fortress, staring at the Divine Realm barrier, waiting anxiously for the Destruction God's return. Though his face remained calm, his heart was pounding with unease.
"According to Senior Tang San, he should be in the middle of executing his plan to stop my Lord."
"If my Lord suddenly returns, I need to alert Tang San immediately before he gets caught."
But what Zhou Weiqing didn't know was that Destruction had already secretly returned.
From within the fortress, Destruction stood at a window, observing Zhou Weiqing with cold eyes. He had already concealed his aura using the Divine Realm Core and masked his presence with divine power.
With Zhou Weiqing's level of strength, there was no way he could detect Destruction's return.
Destruction, however, was far more focused on Tang San.
"Tang San… my greatest enemy."
"He wants to sabotage my expansion of the Divine Realm, blocking the creation of new god positions. I will not allow it."
He retracted his gaze from Zhou Weiqing and turned instead to the Divine Realm Core in his hands. He constantly infused it with divine power to detect any unusual disturbances. If anything happened, he would respond immediately.
"Let's see where Tang San is now."
Infusing even more divine power into the Divine Realm Core, he activated a tracking ability that allowed him to spy on Tang San for exactly two breaths before being detected.
The reason this worked was simple Destruction was stronger than Tang San.
If their strengths were reversed, Tang San would be the one spying on him instead.
A moment later, a light screen appeared before Destruction's eyes.
On the screen, a white haired Tang San was openly stealing Divine Realm Energy.
…?!
Destruction stared at the scene, utterly stunned.
"Did I… see that correctly?"
"Tang San… a God King… is actually stealing Divine Realm Energy like a common thief?!"
At first, Destruction thought it must be a mistake, but the evidence was right in front of him.
"So this is his brilliant strategy? While I was away, he just… stole Divine Realm Energy?"
"Is this really the mighty and righteous Seagod?!"
"No this is just a shameless thief!"
Then another thought struck him.
"Wait… why didn't the Divine Realm Core alert me to this theft?"
"Did Tang San tamper with it?"
No. Impossible.
Even though he and Tang San were both God Kings, Tang San had no way to manipulate the Divine Realm Core.
The Core was the very heart of the Divine Realm, a high dimensional construct that was almost impossible to destroy or fully control.
If Tang San had been able to leave a backdoor, he would have taken over the Divine Realm by now.
"Then what's the explanation?"
After pondering for a moment, he figured it out
"Tang San knows the Divine Realm Core too well."
Faith power constantly flows into the Divine Realm from lower worlds, replenishing itself. It also gets converted into immortal energy over time.
By carefully stealing small amounts and not drawing too much attention, Tang San avoided triggering an alarm.
"I see. But if Tang San thinks he can get away with this he's gravely mistaken."
Destruction closed the screen, absorbed some immortal energy to replenish his divine power, and made a decision
"I'm going straight to him."
Gripping the Staff of Destruction, bolts of crackling lightning danced around him, exuding an aura of ruin and calamity.
With a single step, he tore through space
And instantly appeared before Tang San.
Tang San had been enjoying himself, reveling in the divine power he was absorbing.
"This is incredible… my cultivation is improving at an astonishing rate!"
But then, Destruction appeared before him.
Tang San's face drained of color, and he immediately stopped what he was doing.
"Destruction?! What are you doing here?!"
He was shocked.
"Zhou Weiqing, you useless fool! What were you doing?!"
"I literally gave you the Seagod Order so you could warn me when Destruction returned! How could you let this happen?!"
Destruction sneered.
"Oh? What, were you planning to keep absorbing Divine Realm Energy until I stopped you?"
"You are nothing but a selfish hypocrite, Tang San utterly disregarding the welfare of the Divine Realm!"
Destruction did not consider himself selfish.
His goal was to expand the Divine Realm and create new god positions to him, this was a way to strengthen the Divine Realm.
But Tang San?
Tang San wasn't expanding the Divine Realm at all.
He was just hoarding Divine Realm Energy for himself.
Tang San refused to admit anything.
"Hmph! What Divine Realm Energy? I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Destruction, stop slandering me!"
Lie. Deny. Redirect.
He immediately fabricated a counterargument.
"I noticed a breach in the Divine Realm barrier and used my God King power to repair it. Of course, that required some Divine Realm Energy isn't that normal?"
"I suspect the Silver Dragon King has returned and attempted to breach the Divine Realm to rescue the Golden Dragon King!"
"This is no ordinary enemy we must take immediate action!"
Destruction laughed coldly.
"The Silver Dragon King? Do you think I'm an idiot? She hasn't shown herself in years!"
Then his gaze fell upon Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
They were completely immersed in cultivation, oblivious to the events unfolding.
Destruction's expression darkened.
"And how do you explain your parents absorbing Divine Realm Energy?"
"They don't even have god positions!"
"This is a blatant violation of Divine Realm law!"
"I will call for a Divine Realm Committee and they will be punished!"
