Chapter 259: One emperor and one courtier?
Chapter 259 A new emperor, new ministers?
The God of Laziness patted him on the shoulder and said, "At least you remember something in this life. There is still hope that you can recover it when you become a god in the future."
The God of Wrath nodded slightly.
The God of Destruction then looked at all the gods in the hall, and said in a dignified tone, "I know that many of you are tired of the life in the God Realm and want to leave. You can leave a place of inheritance in the lower world to observe and find suitable successors. However, before the other party grows up on his own and without the consent of the person concerned, you are not allowed to interfere in any way."
Tang San's expression remained the same, but he was cold inside. Wasn't this just pointing at his nose and scolding him?
It's simply a way to die!
Just as he was thinking about it, the God of Destruction shifted his gaze to him.
"Sea God, whether you are doing this for prevention or out of personal selfishness. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion involves a large number of creatures in the lower world, and you just said that she is qualified to grow into a divine beast. Since it involves gods, it is a big deal. So, as a law enforcement god, why don't you report it to the committee? Instead, bypass the supervision of the committee and ignore the rules of the divine world to interfere privately?"
After saying this, without waiting for Tang San's response, he continued to look at the gods on the field, "If all gods do this, where is the law of the divine world?"
"I think Lord God of Destruction is right. Poseidon's behavior has indeed crossed the line! Regardless of whether the starting point is out of public interest or private interest, circumventing the rules of the divine world and concealing the truth is unclear law enforcement." The God of Wrath expressed his support without hesitation.
Tang San's eyes suddenly turned cold when he looked at him. A mere first-level god actually dared to openly go against him!
"If every god is like this, wouldn't the world of gods be in chaos?" The God of Desire smiled and spoke in a frivolous and coquettish tone.
"I second this!" The remaining gods of original sin followed suit.
"In addition, if a law enforcement god breaks the law knowingly, his crime shall be more severe according to the rules of the divine world!" The God of Jealousy said bluntly.
He followed the God of Destruction, so he was not afraid of Tang San. In fact, he had never been interested in Tang San, a younger generation who inherited the throne of Shura God and held the power of the God of Law Enforcement. All of these old gods who had experienced the Dragon God War had made great achievements in battle? How long had Tang San been in the God Realm? He hadn't made much contribution, but his authority had risen first, and now he dared to secretly interfere in the lower world.
He couldn't stand it even more!
The key point is that they want to interfere with the growth of the reincarnated old gods. Isn't this just shitting on the heads of these old gods?
It is understandable that as a father, he wants to use his power to find a way out for his daughter, but he is messing with his down-and-out comrade.
He really can't bear it!
It is absolutely a great humiliation for these old gods to be bullied by a dog when a tiger is in dire straits!
The seven elemental gods, who are first-level gods, all kept silent. They have always maintained a neutral position in the God Realm, but as old gods, they also disagreed with Tang San's interference in the lower world. Moreover, they were not stupid. Tang San said that he wanted to pass down the throne, but in fact, he probably wanted to cultivate his own power and prevent Minghui from joining the God of Destruction camp.
That son of destiny, Huo Yuhao, might also be the target of Tang San's plan.
Maybe sending his daughter away was intentional.
"." Tang San said nothing, but his face was slightly gloomy, and his eyes swept over the seven gods of original sin.
Afterwards, the responsibility fell on his former teammate, Dai Mubai. Huo Yuhao was actually Dai Mubai's junior.
"Ahem." Dai Mubai understood, and coughed softly, saying, "Lord God of Jealousy, your words are too harsh."
"The Sea God was injured by the Eternal Ice Crystal that suddenly fell into the God Realm not long ago, and he has not recovered yet. He has spent most of his time healing these days and has not even left the house. How can he keep an eye on the lower world all the time? You must know that one day in the God Realm is one year in the lower world."
"It has only been a few days since Wu Tong descended to the mortal realm. Time is tight, and I think it is normal for You Nu to fail to report it in time due to her anxiety. Moreover, although it is an act of exceeding authority, the starting point is also for the sake of the divine realm."
"The heavy punishment was excessive."
"I can testify to what the God of War said!" Ning Rongrong said, "Since Wu Tong went to the lower world, Xiao Wu has missed her very much these days, but due to the rules of the God Realm, the Sea God did not even agree to let her see his daughter, which shows how much he protects the rules of the God Realm. For this reason, Xiao Wu has come to my place to complain several times, and I have also been to the Sea God Temple to persuade the Sea God, but the Sea God has been in seclusion to heal his injuries."
“We are quite helpless about this.”
In today's God Realm, Tang San, as the God King, is their greatest supporter, so naturally he must be protected.
While he was thinking, Xiao Wu, who was standing next to him, had red eyes and looked like she was sick with longing.
Tang San, who was sitting in the upper seat, had a stern face and looked selfless.
"In that case, I also think that what Poseidon did is excusable. There is no need for a heavy punishment, a light punishment will suffice."
A second-level goddess saw that Xiao Wu looked like she was about to cry, and her maternal love burst out, and she said with some reluctance.
"Yes, yes!" Many second-level gods around echoed.
They admired the selflessness of the God of Destruction, but it was also true that they wanted to escape from the realm of gods.
They don't care whether the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is dead or alive. What they care about is that if even Tang San, the law enforcement god, is severely punished today, then they will be even more punished. It will be difficult for them to take advantage of loopholes in the rules of the God Realm to find a successor earlier in the lower realm. The God of Destruction may even take advantage of the situation to strengthen its supervision over the God Realm. In that case, they will be punished if they want to be lazy in the God Realm.
This is not what they want to see.
The God of Destruction looked at these gods, his face slightly gloomy. Having ruled the God Realm for many years, he naturally knew that there were many gods in the God Realm who wanted to leave, and some who simply gave up and were lazy. He just didn't expect that there would be so many. It was an indisputable fact that Tang San, as a law enforcement god, knew the law and broke it to interfere in the lower world. No matter what the reason was, it was done and it was irrefutable.
These gods are fully aware of the rules of the divine world and still speak out to protect them, obviously for their own benefit.
“In the God Realm, perhaps it’s time to make changes.” He sighed secretly, then spoke calmly.
"Since everyone thinks it's excusable, considering that Seagod just violated the law, I'll only punish him slightly as a warning." He had never thought that he could completely overthrow Tang San through the incident with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. A small auspicious beast in the lower realm is indeed a little smaller than a God King. But this did not prevent him from taking this opportunity to test how many gods in the God Realm wanted to leave.
Besides, he continued.
"My ruling proposal is to temporarily take back the key to the central realm of the gods from the Sea God. At least before Wu Tong ascends to the divine realm, the Sea God cannot hold the key anymore, lest You Nu becomes anxious and interferes with the affairs of the lower realm again."
"Destruction, is this the real purpose of your attack this time?" Tang San thought to himself, his face darkening again.
"As for the subsequent ownership, we will discuss it at the meeting." The God of Destruction continued.
"Before that, temporarily store it in the God Realm Center."
He didn't say that if Tang San didn't do anything wrong, he would be sent back. If Tang San really behaved himself, that would not be what he wanted to see.
And if Tang San committed a crime again, he had enough confidence to obtain the key, so that he could start to expand the God Realm, and even take the opportunity to punish Tang San. Judging from Tang San's current performance, he did not think he was a qualified law enforcement god.
"Also, suspending the Sea God's duties will allow him to heal his wounds at ease during this period of time." He continued, "As for the three-eyed golden lion, the Sea God must extract Wu Tong's consciousness from its body in the presence of all the gods and return it. The Golden Dragon Spear will remain in the body of the three-eyed golden lion for the time being. After all, it has been used outside, and it would be unreasonable to take it back suddenly. We will wait until the right time in the future to retrieve it."
"What do you think?"
"I think it makes sense!" The God of Kindness nodded slightly.
Ji Dong was a little surprised that his wife would speak up at this time, but since the words had already been spoken, he could only nod in agreement.
"The Sea God is an important fighting force in the God Realm. Now that he is injured, he really needs time to recuperate."
"Besides, just watching won't affect the development of the lower world. If Poseidon and Xiao Wu want to, it won't hurt to check on Wu Tong."
Xiao Wu's brows relaxed when she heard this. Tang San's face did not change at all, but his heart was even darker.
The plan had changed. The only thing he was thankful for now was that the central key to the divine world had not yet fallen into the hands of the God of Destruction. The possibility of the other party discovering the souls of his parents was very low, and he would not be under surveillance.
There is still room for maneuver.
"Looks like the plan needs to be changed." He thought to himself, glancing at the gods who had opposed him on the field.
"It's time to clean up the gods in the divine world. Those who are doing nothing will do no good to the divine world if they stay here."
He looked away without thinking and said decisively, "I accept the punishment!"
After he finished speaking, he spread out his hand, and the key to the central part of the divine world appeared in his palm. With a thought, a radiance burst out, and a shadow of the plane appeared in the air above him. After that, the light and shadow intertwined, and soon stopped on Wang Qiuer, who was sitting in the room practicing in Shrek Academy.
Golden light flashed between Tang San's eyebrows, and he released a trace of divine consciousness that merged into the shadow and soon came into the room.
The shadow pointed a finger, and Wang Qiuer's whole body trembled unconsciously. A wisp of golden thread seeped out from her forehead. Then, with a flash of golden light, the shadow came to the room of Wang Donger, who was practicing with the fused martial spirit of Huo Yuhao, and the fingertip sank into her forehead.
Wang Dong'er's heart trembled and she opened her eyes subconsciously.
However, Tang San's shadow had disappeared.
In the God Realm Committee Hall, Tang San calmly withdrew his divine thoughts, controlled the God Realm Central Key in his hand and flew towards Ji Dong, saying calmly, "Ji Dong, now the God Realm Central is guarded by you, I'll give this key to you to keep."
"Okay." Ji Dong took it carefully.
"If there is nothing else, I will go back first." Tang San continued.
"Please do as you please, Poseidon." The God of Destruction nodded slightly.
Tang San flashed and came to Xiao Wu's side in an instant, pulling her up and leaving. Seeing this, Dai Mubai and the other six monsters took their leave and followed.
The God of Destruction did not delay and immediately adjourned the meeting, then left with the Goddess of Life.
The gods looked at each other in silence.
Soon, at the Temple of Poseidon.
"Third brother, the God of Destruction is obviously taking the opportunity to target you this time!" Ning Rongrong said somewhat indignantly.
"The God of Destruction has wanted to expand the God Realm for a long time. He was not able to succeed because Xiao San, who holds the central key to the God Realm, was opposed to it. Now that he has finally got the chance, he will naturally not let it go." Dai Mubai sighed helplessly.
"Xiao San, what are you going to do next?"
"First recuperate, and we'll talk about other things later." Tang San was not prepared to tell them his plan, but just said lightly, "Now that I'm temporarily resigning, it may be a good thing for me. After worrying about the God Realm for so many years, it's time for me to rest."
"I can also spare some time to accompany Xiao Wu and watch Wu Tong grow up together."
"Third brother!" Xiao Wu was touched, and then sighed, "Third brother, you are too soft-hearted. As the saying goes, a new emperor chooses new ministers. Destruction has always been hypocritical to you, and now it has used an excuse to remove your position and become the only one in power. This is not good for the entire God Realm."
"Ji Dong and Yan have only been in the God Realm for a short time, and they basically have no say in the God Realm. In the past, you, the third brother, held the key to the God Realm's central control and could check and balance him. Now that you have lost the key and have been dismissed, who knows if he will do anything wrong next."
She expressed concern about the current situation.
"If you ask me, just get rid of him if you have the chance." Dai Mubai, who used to be a prince in the lower world, said coldly.
Tang San glanced at him and decided to reveal something to stabilize the morale of the troops.
"Don't worry, you'll regret it later when you're destroyed."
"I have long foreseen that the God Realm will face a great crisis from the universe in the future. This is why I have always disagreed with destroying and expanding the God Realm. I also wanted to use this opportunity to improve Wu Tong's strength in case the crisis comes and she has no ability to protect herself. Of course, it also helps to improve the strength of the God Realm, and that's why I want to find a successor."
"Third brother, then why don't you tell them about the destruction?" Oscar asked puzzledly.
Tang San shook his head. "The God of Destruction is old-fashioned. He won't believe it before he gets solid evidence. It's useless to say it."
In fact, he could have told the Goddess of Life to start a life prayer ritual to predict good or bad luck, but he was not prepared to do so. What he wanted was to retreat in order to advance, and then solve the crisis when it came, and establish his position in the God Realm in one fell swoop. And this was also the reason why he was so decisive in accepting the punishment in the committee just now. The more he was oppressed now, the greater his prestige would be when the crisis came.
And if it is destroyed, it will be completely pulled down from the altar and become a sinner in the world of gods!
"Then, it will be my time to truly settle accounts." Thinking of this, Tang San couldn't help but sneer.
"Then we can't just do nothing now, right?" Dai Mubai frowned.
"Accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity." Tang San said calmly.
"Hongjun." He suddenly turned to look at Ma Hongjun, whose eyes were somewhat dull, and sighed, "Beside Minghui, there is a girl named Ma Xiaotao. Her martial spirit is the same as yours, so she should be your descendant. Now she has formed a partnership with Minghui to practice together. The defects of her martial spirit have been solved, and her talent is not bad. Minghui has great luck, and with him leading the way, Ma Xiaotao has a good chance of becoming a god in the future."
"Hongjun, I know you've been brooding over Chenxiang's matter all these years."
“If you really feel tired, perhaps you can consider passing the throne to Ma Xiaotao and thereby free yourself from the constraints of the divine world.”
"This way, you will have the chance to meet Chenxiang again."
Ma Hongjun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that, and he suddenly looked up at Tang San.
Tang San continued, "When everything is settled, I will have the decision-making ability in the God Realm, and I can try to help you find where Chenxiang is reincarnated. If you are willing, I can also help you reincarnate there, so that you can continue your past relationship. With your foundation, it shouldn't be a problem to cultivate to become a god again. In this way, when you return to the God Realm again, you can bring Chenxiang up to live with you."
With Ma Xiaotao as a bargaining chip in his hand, his chances of recruiting Minghui will be greatly increased.
As for Huo Yuhao, with Wu Tong around, there shouldn't be any problem as for Huo Yuhao becoming a god.
"Rong Nianbing is a good choice." He thought to himself.
Rong Nianbing's strength can be said to be second only to the God King, and is much stronger than the average first-level god. If he can be won over, it will greatly enhance his combat power. And if Huo Yuhao can inherit Rong Nianbing's position, he will also be a first-level main god.
With Minghui, he had the confidence to compete with the God of Destruction.
