Asura's words left Destruction and Life dumbfounded.
If Nangong Lingyun were truly their inheritor, a favor for his path to godhood would be a simple matter, just a word would suffice, without even needing a reason, just a command.
But the problem was, he wasn't! Not only wasn't he, but he didn't even have a channel to communicate with them.
Aside from immortality, the gods of Douluo were actually quite lacking in other areas, especially in terms of power. For example, to transmit energy, edicts, and the like to the lower realm, they needed something as a receiving terminal.
And Nangong Lingyun's body had none of their divine imprints, nor did he have any divine artifacts nearby.
However, neither Destruction nor Life's expressions changed in the slightest. As a dignified Sovereign, even if they were truly surprised, panicked, or hesitant internally, controlling their expressions was very simple.
Destruction frowned directly and said: "Arbitrarily interfering with the divine trials of the lower realm, this is probably not appropriate, right?"
"Tang Chen isn't my inheritor, but rather the Asura God King's great offering, prepared for my true inheritor.
"You didn't set up an assessment for the successor that included killing Tang Chen, did you? It's completely unrelated, so how does it interfere with the divine test?"
"That does make some sense… but I'm sorry, I refuse."
Destruction's casual words instantly infuriated Asura.
If there was no Great Elder to sacrifice, how much of his power would Tang San have to expend to break through from level ninety-nine to level one hundred?
Immediately, he asked, filled with anger and bewilderment, "What did you say?"
"A half-god powerhouse, for the Soul Ring of an incompetent great-grandson, actually led seven Title Douluo to ambush and attack a Soul Emperor in advance. Shameless, and devoid of any martial ethics to such a degree, even if he dies a miserable death, it's his own fault and the result he deserves. Should I ask myself if I have some serious mental illness? Why should I interfere, rather than why I wouldn't help you?"
"Especially, our inheritor is also very stubborn. He repays a kindness with a meal and avenges the slightest grievance. There's even less reason to worry, what if he holds a grudge against me?"
"Are you planning to pass the God King position to him, or become a dual God King? And you're worried he might hold a grudge against you?"
Asura's eyes widened in disbelief.
Destruction calmly leaned back, and especially after seeing the admiring look in his wife's eyes, a faint smile played on his lips.
Leaning back in his chair, he sighed, "That's why I say he's stubborn. The grace of passing on the position and helping him achieve godhood is one thing, and the grievance of stopping him from revenge is another. They don't conflict. When he's capable in the future, he'll repay his gratitude and seek revenge. He can distinguish things clearly."
Asura: "..."
What the hell kind of personality is that? Can't they just cancel each other out?
Destruction spoke with such conviction and detail, it sounded completely true, and Asura didn't have the slightest doubt.
Especially, he had already learned a lot of information about Nangong Lingyun and hadn't found anything wrong yet.
Glancing at the screen and seeing that Tang Chen's divine power was about to be depleted, Asura had to concede a step.
"How about this? The Skyblade Douluo beside him also has the potential to become a god, even a Sovereign.
I could tell him the locations of the inheritances of some dead gods in exchange, how does that sound?"
As Sovereigns were the foundation of the God Realm, the living ones, even God Kings, had no authority to interfere with their inheritances. Moreover, each had their own specific screening standards and assessment methods, and there were many who didn't want to pass on their position and intended to remain in power indefinitely.
But the dead were different. As long as the qualifications met the requirements, entering would definitely trigger a god's trial. Whether they could pass in the end was no longer his concern, and no one dared to guarantee a one hundred percent success rate in a Sovereign's assessment.
Hearing Asura's proposal, several people beside him wore expressions of shock. This killing machine was actually negotiating with someone? And it was with a mortal not yet a god? Unbelievable!
But Destruction still shook its head like a rattle-drum. "I'm afraid not. We also know the locations of the inheritances of most dead Sovereigns; there's no need to trouble you. I'll tell him myself."
"What about the ones only I know?"
As soon as Asura said this, the atmosphere in the hall instantly froze. Normally, Sovereigns would set up inheritance locations on various high-energy continents, and these would be registered and recorded in the God Realm's central hub.
If they encountered a candidate particularly suited for someone else, they could sometimes recommend them.
This situation was almost only possible if the Sovereign had been killed by him personally.
If the death was too sudden, leaving no time to arrange for the aftermath,
the original inheritance grounds might not trigger the assessment. Only finding the dropped Divine Spark would offer a chance.
The Thunderclap Hellvine's Thunder God bloodline was an example.
But who would know where the Divine Spark of a dead god had fallen? Only the murderer.
Gazes that spoke volumes turned towards him. Asura's expression didn't change at all. He had already decided to run and retreat behind the scenes; this matter was completely insignificant.
Seeing this, Destruction finally relented, "In that case, you go and speak with him yourself. The two of us won't get involved, or he might agree because of my face, and then harbor resentment."
"I just wanted to use your connections to make a deal."
Asura ground his teeth in frustration. The two assessment locations he controlled weren't particularly suited to Skyblade Douluo, and a trade wasn't guaranteed.
But he was powerless against Destruction. The other party was not only a God King but also had a God King-level wife. If they teamed up, only Good and Evil could barely hold their own.
They were completely within their rights to not fear him.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Nangong Lingyun once again sent Tang Chen flying with the Dark Demon Evil God Axe.
He was just about to press his advantage when a strange aura suddenly emanated from the Asura Blood Sword that had fallen nearby.
A blood-red figure, covered in demonic patterns, slowly materialized in mid-air.
It wasn't that strong, just a body sketched out with a wisp of divine power, but the aura was extremely sharp, clearly extraordinary.
Asura didn't immediately request a trade, but instead spoke with an arrogant expression:
"Nangong Lingyun, I am the Asura God. Like you, and the two who inherited Destruction and Life, we all temporarily hold the position of the Five Great God Kings. This person is still somewhat useful to me. How about you give me some face and let him go for now?"
As the words fell,
Everyone's faces changed instantly, both outside and within the dimensional space.
Except for Nangong Lingyun and Angel Yan, every single person present knelt on the ground, their foreheads pressed against the ground, daring not to move.
A deity had actually appeared in person, and from the sound of it, one of only five God Kings. It seemed this matter was going to get big today.
In the God Realm Heavenly Palace, Destruction and Life's hearts also skipped a beat. Damn it, that old bastard Asura, just talk about your own trade, why bring us into this? We're screwed, our old faces are going to be completely lost.
