—------------------—
Upon hearing that the Asura Legacy inheritor's Mind was not good, the God of Destruction's face immediately turned as black as a pot. His purplish-black cloak moved without wind, and terrifying divine force of destruction surged within the Goddess of Life's temple.
He said coldly, "What is that fellow Asura doing? After being an Enforcer God for so many years, does he not even understand the requirements for his own God Position assessment? Does he not know what a Heaven-Defying Asura Legacy inheritor means?"
As one of the few proactive and 'practical' God Kings in the God Realm, the God of Destruction attached great importance to the Legacy of God, which concerned the prosperity of the God Realm.
Naturally, he hoped that the person inheriting the God Position would be as outstanding as possible. Although he was dissatisfied with those Gods who spent all day thinking about running away and slacking off, everyone had their own aspirations, and Gods had their own way of life, so he did not force them.
However, for the Asura God, as one of the enforcers and a dignified God King, to be so childish was simply absurd.
The Goddess of Life also frowned deeply. Even with her gentle personality, she was greatly displeased by this.
As a pillar of the God Realm, Asura's actions were no longer just about not taking the God Position Legacy seriously, but about not taking the God Realm seriously.
"Asura has gone too far."
For the Goddess of Life, known as the kindest and most benevolent, to utter these four words, showed how furious she was.
The God of Lightning also felt puzzled. As one of the oldest Gods in the God Realm, the Asura God had a deep affection for it.
Even if he wanted to resign and leave, he shouldn't have allowed someone like Tang San to inherit the God Position.
It should be noted that Tang San simultaneously obtaining the God Positions of Asura God and Sea God already violated the regulations of the God Realm Committee, not to mention that he did not undergo the first eight trials when he inherited the Asura God Position, only participating in the Ninth Trial of the inherited God Position as a mere formality.
It could be said that the Asura God's actions themselves were a provocation to the rules of the God Realm, which was one of the reasons why the God of Destruction would later target Tang San so much. After all, no matter where, those who trampled on rules were always looked down upon.
"I don't know why the Asura God chose this inheritor, but I believe that if my Disciple clashes with him, Asura will probably intervene as well."
The God of Destruction also understood the God of Lightning's concerns. No matter why the Asura God did this, since he did, then when his inheritor faced a crisis, even if he didn't personally intervene, he would secretly obstruct.
"Don't worry, in the coming time, your Sister-in-Law and I will take turns watching Asura. We absolutely won't let him harm a single hair on your Disciple's head." The God of Destruction patted his chest, promising solemnly.
"Then many thanks, Brother." Even though he knew that the God of Destruction would definitely agree as long as he asked, the God of Lightning breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. With two God Kings protecting Chen Yi, as long as Chen Yi didn't seek death, there wouldn't be any major problems.
"Time is almost up," the God of Lightning chuckled after a long while, looking at his brother and sister-in-Law, whose expressions immediately tensed: "Now that my wish is fulfilled, it's time to leave."
The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life's bodies swayed. They knew that this departure would be a permanent farewell.
"Brother, your temperament is strong, and you can't tolerate any sand in your eyes. It's fine for our own people, but those Gods who are used to being lax are not like that. If you want to make any big moves, you must be extremely cautious!"
"Sister-in-Law, you are gentle and unwilling to compromise fairness for personal reasons. This is both good and bad. You must remember that you and Brother are husband and wife, and you should advance and retreat together. Don't wait until things happen to regret it!"
"When a man is about to die, his words are kind." After saying the last two sentences, the God of Lightning transformed into a great sun of lightning and disappeared from the spot.
"Xiao Dian—"
..."Rumble"
At this moment, the sky above the God Realm was engulfed by endless thunderclouds, and purple-golden electric snakes danced wildly beneath the clouds, causing the entire Heaven and Earth to lose their color.
Infinite Qi trembled under the thunder light, and the originally indestructible space was crushed into spiderweb-like cracks, as if it would detach from the Heaven and Earth in the next instant.
A figure slowly emerged from the core of the thunderclouds, so majestic that it seemed to connect the dome and the underworld.
Flashes of thunder light flickered around him, each wisp erupting with the power to split Heaven and Earth, illuminating the vast and Chaos starry sky as brightly as day, even making distant extraterrestrial stars dim under this thunder light.
Evil Temple.
The God of Evil, who was originally contemplating where to find some fun, trembled all over when he felt this terrifying aura.
"What terrifying thunderous might, who is he?" With that, his divine eyes flashed, and the playful mockery within them was completely replaced by solemnity. Before his words even finished, his body had transformed into a thick black smoke, disappearing in an instant.
In the Goddess of Goodness's temple, located in another direction, the God of Goodness was admiring a pure white immortal flower in her hand, her eyes revealing a look of infatuation.
Suddenly, a World-shaking thunderous might that swept across the God Realm came through the air, and the halo around the immortal flower trembled violently.
The next moment, under the God of Goodness's pained gaze, the immortal light dimmed, and the petals gradually withered.
Without time to investigate further, the God of Goodness suddenly raised her eyes and cast her gaze towards the source of the thunderous might. Her beautiful face was filled with shock: "Penetrating my divine force directly to the core of the temple, this level of thunder Dao attainment, a God King?!"
Saying that, her entire being transformed into a soft white light, forcefully breaking through the top of the temple and rushing towards the source of the thunder.
Asura Temple.
The Asura God, with a burly physique, blood-red armor, and white hair, sat quietly in the center of the temple. A heavy sword, emanating a bloody killing intent, was placed in front of him. Upon closer inspection, this sword was actually condensed from pure killing Sword Intent.
"Boom—"
The thunderous might, as if splitting Heaven and Earth, collided with the Asura Sword's might inside the temple. Asura's eyes opened, blood-red, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood at their depths, and the scene of all spirits perishing flashed by.
"This aura? God of Lightning! How is this possible? Wasn't he supposed to have fallen outside the domain hundreds of thousands of years ago? How could he appear here?"
With the surprise in his heart, the Asura God joined two fingers, transforming into an extremely sharp sword light that split the space in front of him, and stepped directly into it, leaving only his voice echoing in the empty temple.
In a vast space that even Gods could not see the end of, invisible Laws intertwined and Bound each other, yet remained distinct. Above the divine domain, dazzling seven-colored divine light flowed.
A thin figure, tightly wrapped in a long robe, appeared above the divine domain. He, who was always calm and low-key, was trembling all over at this moment, his gaze fixed on the distance, and he shouted excitedly.
"Bro... Brother, is that you? You're back!"
Six rays of light swept over rapidly, looking at the God of Space, who was so excited he seemed speechless. The God of Wind, with a face as handsome as a young man, grabbed the latter's sleeve and asked tremblingly:
"Xiao Kong, is it Brother? He didn't die, he's back?"
The hot-tempered God of Fire took a step forward, and his divine force surged, instantly sweeping across the sky, burning the entire sky red. The surrounding space crackled.
"What's the point of saying so much? Whether it is or not, we'll know if we go and see." With that, without waiting for the others to respond, he impatiently traversed the Void Realm. The other Elemental Gods exchanged glances and immediately followed suit.
In various parts of the God Realm, Gods who had been secluded from the World rushed towards the source after feeling this power. In an instant, golden, green, silver, gray, blue... countless divine lights shot up from all directions of the God Realm, converging like a brilliant galaxy, dyeing the entire sky with shimmering colors.
The God of Lightning returned in a Heaven-Defying manner, and the God Realm was in turmoil.
With his majestic figure standing in the sky, the God of Lightning quietly sensed the approaching auras, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Among these auras, some were familiar, some were strange. It seemed that after the battle of yesteryear, too many old friends had left.
The next moment, the God of Lightning's gaze sharpened, looking at the space not far away, and said, "Evil, long time no see. What, you won't even come out to say hello to an old friend?"
As soon as his voice fell, ripples appeared in the space in front of him, and an extremely handsome young man appeared. Dressed in black, with long flowing hair, his evil eyes revealed a special brilliance. It was none other than one of the five God Kings of the God Realm Committee—the God of Evil.
At this moment, there was no longer any playfulness of the World in his eyes, only an indelible memory.
"It really is you, God of Lightning. You're back, and you've even had a Breakthrough to God King."
The God of Lightning, however, chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Can't you see my current state? It's merely a wisp of undying obsession."
The God of Evil was about to say something, but the next instant, a figure also appeared beside him.
"God of Lightning?!"
The newcomer was none other than the God of Goodness. At this moment, her face was surprised, and she said with a complex tone, "I didn't expect it to really be you. You actually stepped into the God King realm."
Although she knew that among the known thunder Dao Gods in the God Realm, only the God of Lightning, besides the God of Destruction, had the possibility of a Breakthrough to God King, she dared not believe it.
The reason was simple: the God of Lightning's injuries back then were too severe. Even the Goddess of Life, using her God Origin, could only barely control his injuries. It could be said that his Foundation was completely destroyed, and his future was hopeless.
But now that he reappeared, already a God King, even if only a wisp of residual thought remained, he was still a God King. This made the God of Goodness, who had been so certain back then, feel a blush on her face.
A bone-chilling coldness swept over, accompanied by wafts of blood. In an instant, it was as if the screams of vengeful spirits could be heard.
Blood-colored battle armor covered his entire body, and the killing intent around him was almost solidified. His pale long hair was meticulously combed, and his face was resolute. It was the Asura God.
"God of Lightning, it really is you!"
Seeing his old friend, the Asura God couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Even with his resilient Mind, seeing his former comrade reduced to only a wisp of residual thought, he couldn't help but feel a moment of trance.
"Long time no see, Asura!"
The God of Lightning said with a complex expression. In the past, as the head of the Elemental Gods, his status in the God Realm was comparable to that of a God King, and he had also served as an enforcer for a period of time. At that time, the two were also good friends, but now that they met again, they each had their own thoughts.
Wishing to buy osmanthus and drink wine together, it's ultimately not like the youthful days.
"You..." Asura sighed softly. Back then, he was most against the God of Lightning leaving the God Realm. In his opinion, the God of Lightning was already at the end of his rope, his strength barely sustained by his God Position.
Rather than venturing out to seek that elusive Opportunity, it would be better to keep the God of Lightning's God Position in the God Realm, which could also leave a Legacy for the God Realm.
However, this idea ultimately came to nothing due to the opposition of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life.
Now, seeing the God of Lightning achieve the God King position, he was happy for him, but he did not regret his decision back then.
After all, his decision at that time was most in line with the interests of the God Realm.
"Tear—"
A sound of tearing space came, and the Seven Elemental Gods swiftly darted out from the dark fissure, rushing towards the God of Lightning with tears in their eyes.
"Brother!"
"Big Brother Lightning!"
Looking at the excited Seven Elemental Gods, the God of Lightning also showed a brilliant smile, opening his arms to greet them.
"Old Earth, Little Fire, Little Water, Wind Girl, Light Sister, Little Black, and Little Void, I'm back!"
The words "I'm back" made the seven people cry uncontrollably. The most emotional God of Water even threw herself onto the God of Lightning, sobbing: "Big Brother, how did you become like this? Little sister misses you so much, truly misses you so much!"
Thinking of how her once heroic and reliable Big Brother, like a mountain, had become like this, the God of Water cried even more heartbreakingly. The entire God Realm grieved with her, and a torrential rain began to fall.
The God of Lightning gently patted his little sister's back, comforting her sorrow, and said softly, "Haha, Big Brother misses you too, but I couldn't help myself. Haven't I come back to see you as soon as I had time? Don't cry. Has Little Fire bullied you these past years? If he has, Big Brother will deal with him for you."
Hearing that the God of Lightning was still comforting her even as he was about to perish, the God of Water cried even more sadly, but still raised her head and said between sobs, "No, no, how could that big idiot God of Fire dare to bully me? I have Big Brother to back me up."
"Good, good that he didn't." The God of Lightning chuckled and patted the God of Water's head, then turned to look at the other six, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
"These years, have you all been well?"
All six nodded. The God of Darkness spoke, "We've been very well these years, living in peace and not clashing with other Gods. We've had a rather enjoyable life."
The God of Lightning, however, did not think so. When he was still around, the Seven Elemental Gods were powerful; when their Elemental Array was unleashed, they could even challenge God Kings.
Coupled with himself, one of the strongest below God Kings, they were unrivaled for a time. But after he was injured and left for the starry sky, the Seven Elemental Gods gradually faded from the sight of the Gods.
The reason, no more than factional disputes. When he was still around, the Elemental Gods had a backbone, so they naturally weren't afraid of outsiders coveting them. After his departure, especially after the news of his demise, the Elemental Gods no longer had the capital to remain neutral.
The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life had a close relationship with him, but the God of Destruction had the Seven Deadly Sins as his direct subordinates, so the Elemental Gods would not be highly valued even if they joined him.
The Goddess of Life, however, was one of the few Gods in the God Realm who did not form factions, and she always tried to avoid outsiders seeking allegiance.
As for the God of Evil and the God of Goodness, as the oldest God Kings, their prestige in the God Realm was deeply ingrained in the hearts of Gods, and they simply did not care about other Gods seeking allegiance.
As for the Asura God, the Seven Elemental Gods had a fierce conflict with him over the God Position issue back then, almost activating the Elemental Array to fight him. With the pride of the Seven Elemental Gods, they would not do something as humiliating as accepting a slap in the face.
"These years, you all have worked hard."
