Among the many gods present, the God of Destruction was the first to respond:
"A very good suggestion. Those four gods have been gone for so long. Helping them out appropriately so their divine positions can return to the God Realm through this opportunity is 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 tone full of tenderness.
"My view is the same as yours, Seth." The Goddess of Life, Lilith Meter, followed her husband, looking affectionately at Seth Dehol. Her kind nature made her genuinely agree.
"Douluo Planet's uniqueness led the God Realm to stipulate that gods cannot interfere, which is why these four divine positions have been lost on Douluo Planet for so long."
"Now, being able to use this opportunity to help them find successors for their divine positions, I believe they will be happy if they knew about this matter."
Behind the Goddess of Life, the Nine-Colored Goddess, dressed in a nine-colored immortal-winding skirt, also walked forward, holding her husband, the God of Food's hand, to chime in:
"My husband and I support our sister, and we also support the God Realm's decision to intervene on Douluo Planet."
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 sacred smile gracing his beautiful face.
"Asura, although you have a conflict with Rakshasa, this matter is of great importance. Do not let personal grudges override public duty on this matter."
"I, Elina Osseus, the God of Goodness, second the God of Evil's proposal."
"Now that's four votes out of five. Asura, it's your turn to state your position. Though your veto would be useless anyway!"
Pleasant laughter echoed through the main hall of the palace. Her voice was so sincere and pure, yet to the Asura God's ears, it sounded anything but pleasant.
All the gods present knew about the enmity between the Asura God and the Rakshasa God. The Rakshasa God's demise was even closely related to him, 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.
Currently, among the five great gods, Goodness, Evil, Life, and Destruction all agreed. Even if the Asura God vetoed it, it would be useless and would only make him appear narrow-minded.
Humans need face, just as trees need bark. Even gods value their reputation.
Therefore, the Asura God had no choice but to put on a magnanimous facade and state his position indifferently:
"As the God of Law Enforcement in the God Realm, I have always been absolutely fair and just."
"The God of Evil's proposal is excellent and beneficial to the God Realm. Naturally, I will not reject this proposal due to personal grudges."
"I, Tal Reisnu, the Asura God, second it and declare this proposal unanimously approved."
The gods exchanged glances and continued to remain silent. The silence in the main hall made the Asura God feel somewhat awkward.
To make himself appear less awkward, the Asura God steered the conversation back to the initial decision.
"Regarding the God Realm's intervention on Douluo Planet, fifteen out of the twenty-eight Great Main Gods have voted in favor, exceeding the required majority of fourteen votes."
"Since that is the case, this decision is hereby passed."
"Everyone present, return and prepare yourselves. In one day, we will gather the God of Gods to send our respective divine artifacts and inheritances to Douluo Planet."
"Alright, meeting adjourned."
He finished speaking with a hint of haste, the first to rise from the round table and the first to leave the main hall of the palace.
After the Asura God left, the God of Destruction let out a disdainful cold snort and cursed:
"Hypocritical fellow."
"Lilith, let's go too."
He held the hand of his wife, the Goddess of Life, and then looked at the God of Goodness and the God of Evil, saying:
"Elina, Hedel, your divine positions are the same as my wife and mine. They require a pair of lovers to inherit them together to maintain the balance of the divine positions."
"It's difficult to find successors with outstanding talent, and even more so to find a pair of lovers with outstanding talent."
"I warn you, it's best not to play any tricks behind our backs. If you dare to secretly snatch the successors already destined for my wife and me, then don't blame me for disregarding our past affections!"
"Seth!" The Goddess of Life emphasized, smiling apologetically at the God of Goodness and the God of Evil, and pulling her husband, the God of Destruction, away.
Watching the retreating backs of the couple, the God of Evil wore a sinister smile on his face.
"Disregarding past affections, tsk tsk, Elina, are you scared?"
"Of course, I'm scared," the God of Goodness replied with a pure, flawless smile. "Hedel, and you?"
"Yes, I'm extremely scared too!"
The God of Evil and the God of Goodness exchanged a glance, and with just that glance, they understood each other's thoughts.
The gods who had not yet left were already accustomed to this.
It was well-known in the God Realm that the God of Evil was not truly evil, and the God of Goodness was not truly good.
...
Douluo Planet.
In the endless sea, the waves raged, and the ceaseless tides crashed against a colossal island.
In the center of the island, there was a circular inner sea, its shimmering waters reflecting infinite brilliance under the sunset glow.
Within the circular 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 great hall.
Before the woman stood a trident, its prongs planted in the ground.
At this moment, the trident was enveloped in a flowing azure light screen, and the woman in the red robe, kneeling on the ground, appeared to be listening with her eyes closed.
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 walk out of the Sea God Hall.
Outside the hall doors, the Sea God Seven Pillars Guardians knelt in neat rows. Upon seeing the High Priestess emerge, they all raised their heads, their expressions filled with fervent anticipation for the Sea God's decree.
Under their fanatical gazes, Bo Saixi slowly walked forward, raising the sacrificial scepter in her hand.
"Hear the Sea God's decree!"
"From this day forward, Sea God Island shall establish the Sea God Empire, and all citizens of Sea God Island are citizens of the Sea God Empire."
"The imperial throne is vacant and will be temporarily held by this priestess until the Sea God's successor is found."
"The Sea God Seven Pillars Guardians of the seven seas are all conferred the title of Imperial General. Sea Dragon, the chief of the Seven Pillars, you shall be the Imperial Grand Marshal."
"Recruit 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 forth, the Sea God's might shall not only echo across the seas. In the name of the Sea God Empire, let the Sea God's revered name resound throughout the entire continent!"
Among the seven kneeling figures, a burly middle-aged man at the forefront bowed his head to the ground of the Sea God Hall, his body trembling as he replied:
"I humbly obey the Sea God's decree. Sea Dragon accepts the command!"
...
At the pinnacle of Spirit City, at the center of the continent.
Within the deepest chamber of the Worship Hall.
An elder 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, seeming as if it could extinguish at any moment.
"Great Angel God, what exactly are you trying to convey?"
The angel statue manifested divine power, yet he, as the High Priest of the Angels, had been unable to sense the Angel God's call for a long time, causing 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 witnessing.
"Could it be that my Angel lineage is facing a catastrophic doom?"
"Is it Bibi Dong? Or... Tang Chen!"
