The Forest of Life, located at the easternmost edge of the God Realm, almost bordering it, is where the Goddess of Life, one of the five great God-Kings of the God Realm, resides.
She is naturally inclined towards tranquility, and given her positive divine nature, primarily focused on creation, her location at the edge of the God Realm allows her to better observe changes within it.
Among the subordinate deities under the Goddess of Life, the strongest are currently only third-level deities. Of course, at her peak, there was a first-level deity, but unfortunately, she perished in the great battle against the Dragon God. Her
only fortunate outcome was that her inheritance was distributed across twenty planes by the Goddess of Life, but to this day, no one has successfully inherited it.
As divine light rose from the ground, Da Ming's figure appeared amidst a serene and beautiful meadow.
When the divine light vanished, he looked around and immediately sensed a unique aura—an unparalleled life force. Even a single breath of it increased the strength of his divine soul and the circulation of his divine power several times over.
"If I had the life energy here, I might even be able to fight a third-level deity
with a divine position..." Da Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although he was a priest, without the blessing of a divine position, fighting a third-level deity would only result in one outcome: being utterly defeated.
Yet, the mere presence of the scattered divine life energy of the Forest of Life had forcibly boosted his strength; this was the terrifying power of the Goddess of Life.
The sky was filled with a pale green glow, like thousands of fireflies moving with the wind, a gentle breeze blowing across the land. Through the thin mist, one could almost see the shifting stars at the edge of the divine realm, their strange light pulsating.
Da Ming dared not delay and quickly arrived at the outer edge of the Forest of Life. Gazing at the vast forest, he respectfully transmitted his voice using divine power: "Priest Niu Tian requests an audience with the God-King of Life."
"What is it?" A leisurely voice came from the core of the Forest of Life, very gentle, like a mother soothing her child to sleep.
Niu Tian respectfully said, "This lowly deity has come to collect a supply meant for a divine official. I apologize for disturbing the Life God King's meditation."
"Collecting supplies?" Suddenly, a deep male voice rang out. The surrounding pale green strangely turned into a dark purple, and a terrifying pressure began to sweep out.
Even without being targeted at Niu Tian, his body felt as if it were about to explode, incredibly heavy.
"Little Purple," a gentle voice interrupted.
"Just scaring him." The male voice smiled calmly.
The original dark purple instantly vanished, returning to pale green.
But Niu Tian's entire body tensed, his eyes filled with deep shock, his clothes soaked with cold sweat, feeling a sense of relief as if he had just escaped death.
"Niu Tian, is it? Don't you know that the dates for collecting supplies are fixed? Which deity's subordinate divine official are you? If you've just entered the divine realm, that's understandable. But if you've been in the divine realm for a long time and still make mistakes, don't blame me for punishing you." The male voice said solemnly.
To prevent priests from constantly coming to the Forest of Life to seek the Spring of Life and disturbing the Goddess of Life's cultivation, the God of Destruction personally drafted a rule that all priests must collect it at a fixed time.
Those who missed this time would be punished. Later
, this evolved into the direct lineage of the priests' superior gods
collecting it on their behalf, which was faster. The Spring of Life was originally a product of the Goddess of Life's divine power, belonging to her personally. However, considering the difficulty of the priests' cultivation, she kindly shared it. This activity of giving away the Spring of Life had only existed for a short time, only about ten years in the divine realm.
These words were full of authority, but Niu Tian, gradually realizing what was happening, felt a stirring in his heart. The man who could accompany the Goddess of Life must be the God of Destruction.
His arrival here was a stroke of genius.
Thinking this, Niu Tian hurriedly and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the superior god, I am a subordinate priest under the Sea God."
"Sea..." Hearing Niu Tian's answer, the God of Destruction, who was gently pushing a swing in the core area of the Forest of Life, suddenly stopped.
The Goddess of Life, sitting on it, also slightly widened her eyes.
"When did you enter the God Realm? The Sea God took the Fountain of Life a few days ago, without giving you any?" The God of Destruction asked, somewhat puzzled.
Niu Tian was stunned. He hadn't received the Fountain of Life because Tang San had sent him back to Douluo Continent as soon as this supply event appeared.
He had only come to the Forest of Life to attract the attention of the two God Kings, especially the God of Destruction, under the pretext of obtaining the Fountain of Life. But
after hearing the God of Destruction's words, Niu Tian sensed something was amiss. Could the Fountain of Life really be obtained periodically?
Why hadn't Tang San told him?
Even from such a distance, the God of Destruction instantly sensed Niu Tian's confusion. A strange meaning flashed across his face, and with a thought, suddenly, space seemed to be pierced, and a large, dark purple hand grabbed Niu Tian and brought him before him.
Still in a daze, Niu Tian only saw a flash before his eyes, and when he looked clearly, he saw two people in front of him.
One of them, surrounded by a gentle aura of life, was none other than the Goddess of Life. The other, a cloaked man with a calm yet majestic gaze, was none other than the God of Destruction.
"Greetings, two supreme gods," Niu Tian hurriedly bowed, but his mind was already racing. He temporarily set aside the matter of the spring water; there were more important things to attend to now.
"No need for formalities," the God of Destruction said calmly. "Under the Sea God's banner, a total of 148 officials reported receiving the Spring of Life water, and all have received it. Why haven't you received it? Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be a newcomer to the divine realm."
Niu Tian's expression shifted, and he opened his mouth, but no words came out.
The God of Destruction frowned, and a purple light flashed in his deep eyes, enveloping Niu Tian entirely.
Although Niu Tian was startled, he dared not make any move to resist. But less than a second later, the God of Destruction clicked his tongue, somewhat surprised, and said, "Your true form is not human?"
Niu Tian was astonished. How could he see that so easily?
He nodded nonetheless. "Yes, Your Majesty."
The God of Destruction glanced at Niu Tian meaningfully, then said, "I don't know if it was an accident by the Sea God or if you deliberately revealed yourself, but your name, Niu Tian, isn't on the list submitted to the Sea God's Temple. In other words, you are a hidden priest."
"Hidden priests usually have two uses. One is to be stationed in the lower realms to secretly help the High God complete some temporary tasks. The second is to suppress their cultivation to the highest level in the lower realms and then spread faith for the High God as a successor of faith."
"But both of these methods are against the rules in the God Realm. In the God Realm, only the three God Kings, excluding the God Kings of Good and Evil, can send subordinates to the lower realms, because the three God Kings all possess law enforcement authority, and thus their subordinate gods can also be granted law enforcement authority. But even so, each action must be reported to the God Realm Committee. Yet you insist that you are a subordinate god under the Sea God, who has no law enforcement authority."
"Most importantly, under the Asura God's banner, there are no high officials; the lowest rank is a third-level deity."
"Tell me, what exactly are you doing in the Forest of Life?"
The God of Destruction seemed to see right through Niu Tian, striking at his core.
Niu Tian was utterly astonished, not expecting that before he could even begin his act, the God of Destruction had already seen through it all.
The Goddess of Life interjected, speaking softly, "I remember when the Sea God entered the God Realm, he brought a group of family members with him. The affiliation of these family members was ultimately handled by the previous generation of the Evil God. We don't know which deity they were specifically placed under, but it was all assumed they were the Sea God."
"Because to be incorporated under the Asura God's banner, a third-level divine position must be granted, but granting a divine position requires the approval of the five Great God Kings and leaving information on the God Realm Committee. This is a way to supervise deities with law enforcement power, preventing them from acting recklessly after descending to the mortal realm."
The Goddess of Life stepped off the swing, her gaze sweeping over Niu Tian. Although she was kind, her fists were not.
In a real fight, even the Asura God would have to be wary.
Niu Tian didn't belong to the Asura God lineage, nor was he listed in the Sea God lineage; clearly, he was being hidden.
Why was the Sea God hiding this?
In the God Realm, the number of subordinate deities was a matter of privacy, something no one could pry into. Although the difference between concealing and not concealing it wasn't significant, appearances still had to be maintained.
Looking at the questioning gazes of the two God Kings, Niu Tian took a deep breath. He knew his act had been seen through. "Do the two God Kings want to hear the truth?"
Destruction's eyes were calm as he said, "Isn't this what you came here to say?"
Niu Tian hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I was among those who entered the God Realm with the Sea God, but at that time I was only a soul, and was later resurrected."
"After being resurrected, I was assigned to the Sea God lineage. Life was peaceful for a while, and then I was sent to Douluo Star."
"Oh, so that's the second type of hidden deity." The God of Destruction wasn't surprised.
"Perhaps there's a third way." Niu Tian looked at him solemnly.
The God of Destruction paused, exchanged a glance with the Goddess of Life, and continued, "Tell me."
"I don't know either," Niu Tian said earnestly.
The God of Destruction's lips twitched, and the Goddess of Life was even more taken aback.
But Niu Tian quickly added, "But if I'm not mistaken, the Sea God has always intended to completely turn Douluo Star into his place of faith."
"Because besides me, the Sea God's parents are most likely also hiding on Douluo Star, plotting something. But compared to his own parents, there's no need for an outsider like me to reveal everything."
Hearing this, the God of Destruction raised his eyelids slightly. He didn't inquire about the truth of the matter, but asked curiously, "What exactly do you want to do by saying all this?"
"To save people and survive," Niu Tian answered sincerely. "If possible, I want to join your ranks, God of Destruction."
The God of Destruction smiled faintly, but it was exceptionally cold. "I despise traitors the most. If I tell the Sea God what happened today, you might be completely finished."
Hearing this, Niu Tian calmly said, "Traitor? The God of Destruction may not know, but back on Douluo Star, Tang San wasn't a god yet. I sacrificed myself for him; that was a favor. After entering the God Realm, he resurrected me; that was repaying a favor. We owe each other nothing more."
"I agreed to go to Douluo Star only because of Sister Xiao Wu's request; otherwise, I wouldn't have cared about Tang San's commission. Besides, take the Spring of Life, for example. From your words, I understand that it seems to be obtainable periodically, yet I've never received it."
"Do you think I would still collude with the Sea God?"
"On the contrary, I work for the Sea God more out of gratitude for Sister Xiao Wu's past kindness, which I'm repaying. But some people don't appreciate your kindness, God of Destruction."
"What do you mean?" The God of Destruction frowned.
The Goddess of Life also looked over curiously.
Niu Tian said in a deep voice, "If I remember correctly, the God of Destruction is your subordinate, isn't he?"
The God of Destruction's heart stirred slightly, and he nodded, "That's right."
"You may not know, but the first person to come into contact with the God of Destruction was none other than the Sea God," Niu Tian explained.
These words echoed in the ears of the God of Destruction, instantly putting him on alert. His icy gaze fell upon Niu Tian. "You're trying to sow discord."
With a thunderous roar, a terrifying divine sense pressed down on Niu Tian. Before a God-King, a high official was terribly weak. However, before the divine sense could fully penetrate, the Goddess of Life intervened, a soft green-gold light flashing, blocking the God of Destruction's divine sense.
But Niu Tian did not back down, still speaking in a solemn voice: "I know the God of Destruction finds it hard to believe what I say, but it doesn't matter. After all, without evidence, my words are just a blank sheet of paper, completely useless."
The God of Destruction stared coldly at Niu Tian.
Niu Tian continued, "I don't know if the God of Destruction has asked, but he will definitely come to you to gather information, namely, whether you have any plans targeting Douluo Star, or whether you have any plans targeting Xiao Qi."
Targeting Douluo Star?
Targeting Xiao Qi?
The former surprised the God of Destruction, the latter surprised the Goddess of Life.
Before the God of Destruction could speak, the Goddess of Life stepped forward, her voice deep and resonant: "You asked if we targeted Xiao Qi? What exactly happened?"
As the Goddess of Life, who could never be a mother, she adored children. She had cared for the offspring of many gods in the divine realm, so hearing about Xiao Qi stirred her deeply.
Niu Tian didn't hide anything. "The Sea God split Xiao Qi's soul into a main soul and a clone. The clone now controls the body, its only purpose being to seize everything from any auspicious beast on Douluo Star. Finally, it will be returned to the main soul, regaining control of the body."
"What?" The Goddess of Life exclaimed, her beautiful eyes filled with shock. "The Sea God split Xiao Qi..."
The God of Destruction was also startled.
This was his own daughter! You actually split her soul!
If I had a child, I'd spoil her rotten.
"Sister Xiaowu entrusted me to take care of Xiaoqi in Douluo Continent. I didn't know about these things beforehand, but after the Sea God's divine consciousness within Xiaoqi failed to assist the main soul hidden within in plundering the bloodline and fortune of the auspicious beast, the clone soul controlling the body, also named Dong'er, personally returned and told me about these things."
"Logically, I should have captured Dong'er, since she is a clone soul, but... that girl who keeps calling me 'Big Daddy' isn't Tang Wutong from the God Realm, she's Wang Dong'er, a mischievous yet very considerate girl."
"So I helped Dong'er, preventing the Sea God from recalling Dong'er, eliminating her soul, and returning it to the main soul."
"You used my name to deceive the Sea God?" The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life both reacted quickly.
Niu Tian shook his head. "No, that's not it. I just told the Sea God that there's an unknown, powerful deity within Dong'er, which makes the Sea God very wary. He suspects you were behind it, so I said that perhaps the God of Destruction will come to ask you about any plans targeting Douluo Star or Xiao Qi."
"If he's certain you have no plans targeting Douluo Star or Dong'er, the Sea God will act without restraint. At that time, Dong'er will surely die. As her father, I don't want to see that happen, so I came today." "
Whether the God of Destruction believes me or not, I, Niu Tian, swear to my soul that if I utter even half a lie, I will die a horrible death."
Niu Tian's resolute expression showed no pretense.
He knew very well that lying to the God King was pointless .
Sincerity was always the ultimate weapon.
The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction stared at each other, their emotions shifting constantly.
