God Realm Heavenly Gate.
Zhu Ziyang stood still, surveying this brand new world. By his side, Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, Qian Lingyi, Zhang Lexuan, and Wu Huan'er were also looking around with wide eyes, their pretty faces showing identical curiosity and surprise.
"Welcome to the God Realm!" A female voice reached their ears. Immediately afterward, a goddess wearing an emerald green long dress appeared before them. The goddess was extremely beautiful, with a gentle temperament, exuding an approachable aura.
Zhu Ziyang was not surprised by this goddess who suddenly appeared in front of him and the others. The moment she appeared, he already knew her identity. After all, the only divine being who could make him feel an instinctive closeness and relaxation of defenses from the bottom of his heart was probably the blood relative of the first-generation God of Death—the Goddess of Life.
"Hello, I am the Goddess of Life." The Goddess of Life smiled as she introduced herself. Her gaze swept over Zhu Ziyang and the five women before finally settling on Zhu Ziyang.
"Hello, I am Zhu Ziyang, the God of Death!" Zhu Ziyang returned the smile and said.
"Hello, Ma Xiaotao, the current God of Fire!" "I'm Jiang Nannan, the God of Moon!" "Qian Lingyi, the God of Angels!" Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, and Qian Lingyi quickly followed with their introductions.
"Mm, I know." The Goddess of Life nodded and smiled. "Come on, I'll first take you to meet everyone in the God Realm, then show you around the God Realm's environment."
"Thank you for the trouble." Zhu Ziyang did not refuse and replied gratefully.
God Realm Committee.
The God King's battle three months ago did not have much impact on the gods of the God Realm. After all, from the identities of the two God Kings, this was actually an internal faction fight. The Rakshasa God from the Douluo faction defeated the Ashura God from the same Douluo faction, then naturally took over the Ashura God's inheritance—though the Ashura God didn't have much inheritance to speak of. But in the end, the outcome of this great war truly did not affect the gods of the God Realm.
Now, under the leadership of several God Kings, the gods were welcoming the return of the Death God King in the God Realm hall. This was a good thing for the God Realm, but for the gods themselves, it was not something worth being happy about—another big Buddha above their heads; no one would be pleased.
In the hall, it was clear that compared to three months ago, the number of people inside had decreased significantly, but all the gods were indeed present. The reason for this phenomenon was actually very simple: in the past three months, the previous-generation God of Emotions, God of Fire, God of Water, God of Light, and God of Darkness had successively left the God Realm. Their successors had not yet ascended to the God Realm, naturally leading to fewer people in the God Realm hall at this time.
Zhu Ziyang and his group entered the God Realm hall under the guidance of the Goddess of Life. At first glance, Zhu Ziyang saw Huo Yuhao standing on the steps of the hall, along with three extraordinarily imposing deities by his side: a man in a purple robe, a man in a black robe, and a woman in a pinkish-white long dress. Without a doubt, they were the God of Destruction, the God of Evil, and the God of Kindness.
"Welcome, God of Death!" The God of Destruction, God of Evil, God of Kindness, and Rakshasa God said in unison to Zhu Ziyang. Together with the Goddess of Life, the five God Kings simultaneously extended their hands, each sending out a ray of aurora that converged in the air into a white divine light, then flew straight toward Zhu Ziyang. Zhu Ziyang instinctively reached out, and the white divine light landed precisely in his palm.
The light faded, revealing a crystal-clear jade tablet. The tablet was engraved with inscriptions symbolizing the God Realm Heavenly Gate, with a bi'an flower carved on each side. This jade tablet was none other than the symbol of authority in the God Realm. The instant he received it, a panoramic view of the God Realm appeared in Zhu Ziyang's mind, along with a power of life and death control.
"We pay our respects to Lord Death God!" As Zhu Ziyang accepted his God Realm authority, the main gods in the hall immediately shouted respectfully in unison.
The following matters were simple. The gods met Zhu Ziyang one by one, each with a smiling face—a scene somewhat different from when Huo Yuhao ascended to the God Realm three months ago. The reason was easy to understand. When Huo Yuhao ascended, the Ashura God Tang San was still there and had a clear grudge with Huo Yuhao. Before the outcome was decided, the gods naturally would not get too close to Huo Yuhao.
But now, Zhu Ziyang's situation was very different. Zhu Ziyang was the God of Death, and the first-generation gods among them all knew the relationship between the God of Death, the God of Destruction, and the Goddess of Life. So even if Zhu Ziyang was not the first-generation God of Death himself, for the sake of the monk, they looked at the Buddha—the Goddess of Life and God of Destruction would certainly take care of him. Thus, Zhu Ziyang's background was naturally incomparable to Huo Yuhao's.
After the meetings ended and the gods dispersed, only a few God Kings and Zhu Ziyang's group remained in the God Realm hall.
"The matter is settled. Lie Yan and I will take our leave first," the God of Evil Ji Dong said with a smile to Zhu Ziyang. "Brother Zhu, once you're settled, come to the Palace of Good and Evil. I'll treat you to a drink!"
"Definitely!" Zhu Ziyang replied with a smile.
"Senior Brother, I'll head back too," Huo Yuhao said, though he had many things to say to Zhu Ziyang, but knew it wasn't the time. "I'm at the Rakshasa Palace. Xiao Xiao and Dong'er are there too."
"Mm!" Zhu Ziyang nodded in agreement.
After Ji Dong, Lie Yan, and Huo Yuhao left, the Goddess of Life and God of Destruction exchanged a glance. In the end, they decided that the God of Destruction would stay to guard the God Realm hub, while the Goddess of Life would lead Zhu Ziyang to his residence.
"Follow me!" The Goddess of Life smiled as she led the way ahead. Zhu Ziyang and the six followed behind her. After leaving the God Realm hall, the group of seven flew south. About a quarter of an hour later, a golden palace appeared among the clouds.
"This is the Creation Divine Hall, originally the residence of Little White and Little Gold. From now on, it belongs to you." The Goddess of Life's voice carried a hint of melancholy as she spoke.
"Why is it called the Creation Divine Hall?" Jiang Nannan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Because this was originally the divine domain of the God of Creation, so naturally it's the Creation Divine Hall!" the Goddess of Life said.
"Uh! What I mean is, why don't we go to the divine domain of the God of Death?" Jiang Nannan was stunned for a moment before continuing.
"Because the divine domain of the God of Death is not in the God Realm." The Goddess of Life said, her eyes fixed on Zhu Ziyang with a meaningful look.
Zhu Ziyang was taken aback, thinking of something. He subconsciously touched the back of his head and then said, "Alright, let's go in and take a look. This will be our residence in the God Realm."
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Nannan immediately tossed her questions aside and flew toward the Creation Divine Hall with Ma Xiaotao, Qian Lingyi, and the others.
"By the way, the Fire God Hall, Moon God Hall, and Angel God Hall are also in the God Realm. If you need, you can move them to the Creation Divine Hall when you have time to avoid running back and forth." The Goddess of Life reminded them before leaving.
Zhu Ziyang noted it in his mind and then flew into the Creation Divine Hall.
Life in the God Realm thus began!
