Among the many gods present, the God of Destruction was the first to respond:
"A very good proposal. Those four gods have been in decline for so long; it's appropriate to give them a hand and allow their divine positions to return to the God Realm through this opportunity. It's also a good thing for strengthening the God Realm."
"Lilith, what do you think?"
He looked at the Goddess of Life, seated below him, and asked with a gentle tone.
"My view is the same as yours, Seth." The Goddess of Life, Lilith Meter, dutifully followed her husband Seth Dehol, gazing at him affectionately. Her naturally kind heart led her to wholeheartedly agree.
"The special nature of the Douluo Star meant that the God Realm had regulations preventing gods from interfering, which is why these four divine positions have been lost on the Douluo Star for so long."
"Now, being able to seize this opportunity to help them find successors for their divine positions, I believe they would be happy if they knew about this."
Behind the Goddess of Life, the Nine-Colored Goddess, dressed in a nine-colored dress, walked forward, holding her husband, the God of Food's hand, in support.
"My husband and I support our sister, and we also support the God Realm's decision to intervene on the Douluo Star."
On the right side of the round table, the God of Goodness, clad in a white robe, looked at the Asura God, a pure and holy smile gracing his exquisite face.
"Asura, although you have a conflict with Rakshasa, this matter is of great importance. You must not let personal matters override public duty on this issue."
"I, the God of Goodness, Elina Oseus, second the Evil Proposal."
"Now that's four votes out of five. Asura, it's your turn to state your position, though your veto would be futile!"
Her pleasant laughter echoed through the main hall of the palace. Her voice was so sincere and pure, yet in Asura God's ears, it sounded exceptionally unpleasant.
Everyone present knew that he, the Asura God, harbored animosity towards the Rakshasa God. Even the Rakshasa God's demise was closely related to him; this was a semi-open secret in the God Realm.
However, such a minor proposal did not require the consensus of all the gods in the God Realm. It only needed more than three out of the five of them to agree for it to pass.
Now, among the five great gods, Goodness, Evil, Life, and Destruction all agreed. Even if he, the Asura God, were to object, it would be useless and would only make him appear narrow-minded.
Just as trees need bark for protection, people need to maintain their reputation. Even gods, in their esteemed positions, valued their dignity.
Therefore, the Asura God, having no other recourse, put on a magnanimous facade and declared indifferently:
"As the God of Law Enforcement in the God Realm, I have always been absolutely fair and just."
"The Evil Proposal is excellent and beneficial to the God Realm. Naturally, I will not reject this proposal due to personal grievances."
"I, Asura God Tar'Resnu, second it and declare this proposal passed unanimously."
The gods exchanged glances and continued to remain silent, the stillness in the main hall making the Asura God feel somewhat awkward.
To alleviate his awkwardness, the Asura God steered the conversation back to the initial decision.
"Regarding the God Realm's intervention on the Douluo Star, fifteen out of the twenty-eight great main gods of the God Realm have voted in favor, exceeding the majority of fourteen votes."
"With that said, this decision is hereby passed."
"Everyone present, return and prepare yourselves. In one day, we will gather the God of Gods and send our respective divine artifacts and legacies to the Douluo Star."
"Alright, meeting adjourned."
He finished speaking somewhat hastily, the first to rise from the round table and the first to exit the main hall of the palace.
After the Asura God left, the God of Destruction let out a disdainful snort and cursed, "Hypocritical fellow."
"Lilith, let's go too."
He held his wife, the Goddess of Life, by the hand. Then, he looked at the God of Goodness and the God of Evil and said, "Elina, Hedel, your divine positions are similar to ours. They require a pair of lovers to inherit them to maintain balance."
"It's difficult to find inheritors with outstanding talent, and even more so to find a pair of lovers with outstanding talent."
"I warn you, don't play any tricks behind our backs. If you dare to snatch away the inheritors destined for my wife and me, don't blame me for disregarding our past affections!"
"Seth!" The Goddess of Life emphasized, offering an apologetic smile to the God of Goodness and the God of Evil, then pulling her husband, the God of Destruction, out the door.
Watching the backs of the departing couple, the God of Evil's face was filled with a sinister smile.
"Disregarding past affections, tsk tsk, Elina, are you scared?"
"Of course, I'm scared." The God of Goodness's face lit up with a pure, flawless smile. "Hedel, what about you?"
"Yes, I'm extremely scared too!"
The God of Evil and the God of Goodness exchanged a look, and in that single glance, they understood each other's thoughts.
The gods still present paid no mind to this.
It was widely known in the God Realm that the God of Evil was not truly evil, and the God of Goodness was not truly good.
...
Douluo Star.
In the boundless sea, raging waves and ceaseless tides crashed against a massive island.
In the center of the island was a ring-shaped inner sea, its shimmering waters reflecting infinite splendor under the sunset glow.
Within the ring-shaped sea, there was an island within an island.
At the summit of the small island stood a square, domed structure carved from what appeared to be white jade, emitting a sacred radiance.
Inside the building, a woman in a vibrant red robe knelt respectfully and devoutly at the far end of the main hall.
Before her stood a trident, its prongs plunged into the ground.
At this moment, the trident was enveloped in a flowing, azure light screen, while the kneeling woman in the red robe appeared to have closed her eyes, listening intently.
After a long while, the flowing light screen on the trident dissipated.
"Yes, I shall obey the Sea God's decree!"
Bo Saixi rose from the ground and turned to exit the Sea God Temple.
Outside the temple doors, the seven Sea God Pillar Douluo knelt in perfect formation. Upon seeing their High Priestess emerge, they all looked up, their expressions filled with fervent anticipation of the Sea God's decree.
Under their fervent gazes, Bo Saixi slowly walked forward, raising the ceremonial scepter in her hand.
"I shall convey the Sea God's decree!"
"Effective immediately, Sea God Island shall establish the Sea God Empire, and all inhabitants of Sea God Island shall be citizens of the Sea God Empire."
"The imperial throne is vacant, and I, as High Priestess, shall temporarily govern the empire's affairs until the Sea God's successor is found."
"The seven Sea God Pillar Douluo shall all be appointed as Imperial Generals. Sea Dragon, as the head of the Seven Pillars, you shall be the Grand Marshal of the Empire."
"Integrate the Spirit Masters from the surrounding islands and seas, and together with the empire's citizens, form an army. Advance onto the continent under the Sea God's supreme glory."
"From this day forward, the Sea God's might shall not only echo across the seas, but in the name of the Sea God Empire, His venerable name shall resound throughout the entire continent!"
Among the seven kneeling figures, a robust middle-aged man prostrated himself on the ground before the Sea God Temple, his entire body trembling as he answered:
"I humbly obey the Sea God's decree, Sea Dragon accepts this command!"
...
At the pinnacle of Spirit City, in the heart of the continent.
Within the inner sanctum of the Worship Hall.
An elder clad in a white robe knelt before a colossal statue of an angel.
Golden light flowed across the six-winged angel statue, but this golden light flickered intermittently, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.
"Great Angel God, what exactly are you trying to convey?"
Although the angel statue manifested divine power, he, as the High Priest of the Angels, had been unable to sense the Angel God's call for a long time, which caused Qian Daoliu great anxiety.
Under his anxious gaze, the golden light flowing on the surface of the six-winged angel statue gradually dimmed, and soon it was completely extinguished.
"How could this be? How could this be?"
Qian Daoliu collapsed onto the ground, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Could it be that my Angel lineage is facing annihilation?"
"Is it Bibi Dong? Or... Tang Chen!"
