Upon hearing that Asura was very likely plotting to break free from the restrictions of the God Realm Committee's rules and concentrate all the power of the entire God Realm in his own hands, Evil couldn't help but sigh.
Based on his understanding of that killer, he was certain that Asura could do such a thing, and the likelihood was clearly much greater than Destruction's deep scheming and use of profound strategies.
He could even guess the next step in the plan: After completing the centralization of power in the God Realm, he would immediately begin to seize the power left by the Golden Dragon King, thoroughly eliminating any potential hidden dangers from the Golden Dragon King. Then, he would continue to expand outwards, striving to recreate the glory of the God Star era.
To be honest, if this set of goals could really be achieved, it wouldn't actually be a bad thing for the God Realm.
But the problem was: Firstly, the one who would be deprived of power by Asura was himself. Since ancient times, the fate of a fallen emperor was self-evident.
Secondly, resolving the Golden Dragon King's hidden danger would definitely involve killing it. Asura's current strength was far from sufficient. The human realm would probably have to endure tens of thousands of years of ghosts running rampant, countless deaths, and rivers of blood before it could possibly be elevated to that level.
And there was a third point: no one knew if the Golden Dragon King had left any other hidden trump cards back then. The thoughts of such an existence were simply impossible to fathom. The probability of this plan succeeding was really too low.
Not to mention, what if they encountered enemies stronger than the God Realm when expanding outwards?
Evil initially agreed with Good's judgment, but still opposed: "I understand all of what you said, ---
However, Nangong Lingyun's conflict with Tang Chen was not faked.
To hide their true emotions from us, let alone a mortal Soul Master from the human realm, even an ordinary Tier 1 Sovereign couldn't do it.
Secondly, that Nangong Lingyun is clearly not someone ordinary. And with Asura's selfish nature, he should prefer to choose and cultivate a successor with personality flaws, someone easier to control."
After speaking, he looked at Goodness with anticipation.
Clarity comes from debate. He hoped to perfect his judgment on certain matters through a clash of ideas with his wife.
This world is not black and white, but a delicate shade of gray.
A purely evil perspective or a purely good viewpoint is often biased.
Goodness also lived up to his expectations and, without any small talk or formalities, immediately began to refute point by point.
"The conflict between Nangong Lingyun and Tang Chen was definitely not staged, and the six Title Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect really did die, but did any of this affect them at all?
No, not at all. Even if there was, it was all positive.
We don't look at the process, we don't investigate the reasons, we only look at their gains and losses in the whole matter.
Aside from a bit of Soul Power, Nangong Lingyun didn't lose a single thing, but what he gained was countless.
Not to mention the twenty God-bestowed Soul Rings, the fact that a thirteen-year-old Soul Emperor had forcefully crushed a Level 99 Limit Douluo and a God King inheritor, the prestige and deterrence that this kind of deed could bring, I shouldn't need to elaborate on, right?
Prestige represents faith, and faith can be converted into divine power, helping him become a god faster and better.
Tang Chen seemed to have suffered heavy losses on the surface,
however, the real core members of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao and Tang San, were both fine. They had, in fact, become the sect master and the first in line for succession, respectively, due to Tang Xiao's death.
Secondly, if Nangong Lingyun wants to change the order of the human world, there will inevitably be opponents."
And Qian Daoliu, the Martial Soul Hall's Grand Elder, clearly showed an unusual attitude just now.
Besides gathering under Tang Chen and Tang Hao, these people had almost no other options. The Clear Sky Sect had essentially become the leader of the opposition and the conservatives.
What did six Title Douluo deaths matter? What did taking a beating matter?
Nangong Lingyun and Tang Chen, one progressive, one conservative, would likely tear apart the Martial Soul Hall, divide it, and consume it, completely erasing the Asura's obstacles.
Both of them had made a huge profit. The only one who really lost out was the Martial Soul Hall, just watching the show."
The Beguiler nodded slightly.
This analysis was truly insightful, and the Asura's scheming was equally brilliant.
A staged match not only sent Nangong Lingyun to Destruction and Life, making him a successor and preparing him for seizing the God Realm Committee's voting rights in the future.
It also crushed the Angel God's hopes of returning, and it would cause even more intense conflict on the Douluo Star. After all, there was no progress without bloodshed, which greatly benefited the path of slaughter.
One arrow, three kills – a masterstroke that left one applauding in admiration.
It might even earn the gratitude of Destruction and Life. After all, a genius heir capable of inheriting opposing laws simultaneously is incredibly rare.
Judging by their eagerness to accept, it was clear that they had already planned to make a run for it. Regardless of whose pawn Nangong Lingyun was or what schemes lay behind him, he was a gift of immense value. One stone, four birds, tsk tsk...
Kindness continued, "Regarding your second point, your assessment that Nangong Lingyun is exceptional and lacks personality flaws is a significant miscalculation, a trap set by Asura.
He is indeed extraordinary, with top-tier talent, mentality, intelligence, and ambition, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's controllable."
"Oh? Explain."
"The tasks Asura intends to undertake will inevitably involve danger and challenge, meaning the pawns required must be extraordinary as well."
Someone like Tang San, a complete loser who gets disoriented with a little bit of coaxing, is easy to control. But what's the use of having a loser, even if you trick him?
Can you expect him to go undercover for someone else? Destruction might be a bit naive, but Life's wisdom is no less than yours or mine.
Can you still count on him to charge into battle in the future, seize control of the God Realm, plot against the Dragon God, and ascend to a divine star? That's the first point: he can only choose the elite.
Secondly, judging by what Nangong Lingyun said earlier, he's actually trying to change the order of the human realm, giving ordinary people opportunities and channels for advancement.
Isn't being so stubborn a flaw? A gentleman can be deceived with the right approach.
Of course, Destruction and Life can't be completely disregarded either; Life might be deliberately framing Asura.
In such a sensitive period, one should be more cautious of everyone."
At this point, Evil was completely convinced.
While Life and Destruction, along with the Good and Evil gods, were in closed-door discussions, the Asura wasn't idle either. He personally paid a visit to the Poseidon Temple.
The dwellings of deities couldn't be equated with human residences.
For instance, the Poseidon Temple. Though called a palace, it was actually a vast expanse of emerald waves. In the center was a small island, barely enough for guests to land on.
Sensing someone's approach, a white jade pillar rose from the emerald waves.
The pillar's surface shimmered with numerous golden runes. At its peak, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged, wearing a trident circlet and with a water-blue gem embedded in his forehead.
He wore a simple white robe with gold trim.
His face was plain, not handsome, but extremely imposing. A faint light swirled in his eyes, and his gaze was slightly harsh.
The Asura flew into the Poseidon Temple, just as the white jade pillar stopped rising.
The two exchanged smiles, as if many topics were already understood.
After some greetings, Poseidon brought up the topic: "I never expected Destruction and Life to set up such a shocking grand scheme. If it weren't for you discovering something was amiss and sending Tang Chen to probe, we would have suffered a great loss when they finally revealed their true intentions."
The Asura also wore a look of emotion.
"Indeed. Nangong Lingyun's performance was too heaven-defying; he must have had support from someone in the God Realm."
Although kindness and evil are not impossible,
with Destruction's intelligence, the possibility of performing an unexpected incident to the point where even we wouldn't notice any problems is almost zero.
"Of course, it's not advisable to be completely unguarded. Those two old geezers can't be underestimated."
When he discovered the power of Destruction on Nangong Lingyun, he was truly shocked.
He had always regarded Destruction as a fool, but he hadn't expected to be mistaken this time.
However, it was precisely because of this that the fire of ambition burned even more fiercely in Asura's heart.
The great era of contention was approaching, and there would inevitably be major turmoil in the God Realm. A reshuffle was coming in the near future.
Even Destruction knew to support another Angel God to oppose him, so how could he just lie down and watch such a great opportunity slip away?
This time, he had to take a big gamble, and do something ruthless.
...
With Nangong Lingyun's complete exposure, the entire God Realm fell into a bizarre chain of suspicion:
Life and Destruction were certain it was the Good and Evil Gods, but didn't rule out the Asura and Poseidon.
The Good and Evil Gods were certain it was the Asura and Poseidon, but didn't rule out Life and Destruction.
The Asura and Poseidon were certain it was Life and Destruction, but didn't rule out the Good and Evil Gods.
The remaining Sovereigns, subordinate gods, and affiliated gods also let their imaginations run wild, with some even suspecting a conspiracy between Life and the Good Gods, to begin a new combination.
