As soon as the phrase 'ruling from behind the curtain' was uttered...
The God of Destruction (Original) expressed that there was nothing he could do.
Originally, once Jin Mian succeeded as the new God of Destruction, he would be the direct superior of the Seven Gods of Original Sin.
But helplessly, he had to be made to stay in the God Realm for a full hundred thousand years.
The seven gods had also followed him for many years.
Whether out of sentiment or reason...
They would certainly side with their old leader.
Seeing this old fellow Destruction actually complaining about this matter...
Jin Mian's eyes darted around, and he instantly thought of how to respond.
"Destruction, the reason I'm making you stay in the God Realm is for your own good!"
"What do you mean?"
These words truly left Destruction a bit dazed.
For his own good?
In what way?
He had had quite enough of staying in this broken God Realm.
He had long wanted to go out and see the world.
Jin Mian said, "Think about it, you've passed your God Position to me and are now free of burdens, but the Goddess of Life's God Position hasn't been passed on yet. You two are husband and wife, not to mention the Goddess of Life is currently pregnant."
"You wouldn't be thinking of abandoning your wife and child, would you?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Slander, you're slandering me!" The God of Destruction (Original) immediately got anxious upon hearing this.
Pointing at Jin Mian, he looked at the seven gods nearby: "He's slandering me! I have no intention of abandoning my wife and child; you guys better not talk nonsense in front of Little Green."
"Since you have no intention of abandoning your wife and child, then what's the rush?" Jin Mian said calmly.
"Who's in a rush? I'm not!"
The God of Destruction (Original) hurriedly denied it.
These words must not be heard by life.
Otherwise, his kneecaps would have to suffer again.
Jin Mian smiled knowingly: "In that case, you have no objections to me making you stay in the God Realm for a hundred thousand years?"
"Uh... no... no objections," the God of Destruction said, gritting his teeth.
Seeing this, Jin Mian looked at the Seven Gods of Original Sin: "Did you hear that? The God of Destruction (Original) has no objection to me making him stay in the God Realm for a million years. Don't go spreading rumors once you're out, do you hear? Otherwise, Destruction and I will come knocking on your door."
"Yes! Lord New God of Destruction!"
"We will definitely not talk nonsense!"
The seven gods responded in a hurry.
Following that...
Jin Mian quietly said to Destruction again: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, the hundred thousand years I'm making you stay in the God Realm is actually nine hundred and ninety thousand years!"
"A nine on the left and a nine on the right; I forgot to mention that the other day."
"What?!"
"Nine hundred and ninety thousand years!!!"
"You..."
Before the God of Destruction (Original) could start cursing...
Jin Mian spoke again: "What? Is there a problem? Besides, does nine hundred and ninety thousand years exceed the limit of a hundred thousand years?"
"..."
"No... no problem."
"You're one ruthless brat!"
The God of Destruction (Original) was practically moved to tears of frustration.
After finishing his 'discipline' of the God of Destruction...
Jin Mian prepared to leave the God Realm and return to the lower realm.
Before his departure...
The God of Destruction (Original) did not forget to remind him: "Jin Mian, remember, now that you have become a god, you must abide by the laws of the God Realm. You can only stay in the mortal world for a hundred years. After a hundred years, you must return to the God Realm, otherwise, you will suffer the backlash of the laws of the universe!"
"Understood."
"Then during the hundred years I'm back on the continent, I'll leave the affairs of the God Realm to you."
"Bye-bye."
With that...
With a thought, Jin Mian instantly disappeared from the spot.
...
Back on the continent.
Jin Mian, who originally intended to return directly to Spirit Hall...
Suddenly noticed that a large amount of evil aura had suddenly appeared on the continent.
He immediately used his divine sense to investigate.
"Strange? Why have so many Evil Soul Masters suddenly emerged on the continent?"
"Could it be that Slaughter City has been destroyed?"
Thinking of this...
Jin Mian used Teleport to arrive inside Slaughter City.
He saw...
Slaughter City, which should have been imprisoning Evil Soul Masters...
Was now empty.
Just as he was preparing to use his Divine Power to investigate how the Evil Soul Masters had escaped Slaughter City...
Suddenly...
The Asura Sword launched a surprise attack from behind.
With just a glance...
Jin Mian instantly sent the Asura Sword flying back.
He spoke slowly: "King of Slaughter, come out! This God has already detected your presence."
"..."
The surroundings were silent.
"Still not coming out? It seems you want me to take action personally?" Jin Mian lost his patience.
Just as he was about to move to drag out the figure hiding behind the pillar on the upper left...
The King of Slaughter burst into loud laughter.
Flapping those wings, he flew down.
He looked at Jin Mian and said playfully, "I didn't expect someone to take the initiative to enter Slaughter City again. Kid, how do you know of this King?"
"Cut the crap!"
"I ask you, where did the Evil Soul Masters imprisoned here go?"
Jin Mian questioned sternly.
The King of Slaughter was very disdainful: "Quite arrogant, to dare speak to this King in such a tone. Want to know where those guys went? Fine! Only if you defeat me!"
"Today I'll let you know that no matter who you are here, you must abide by this King's rules. I, the King of Slaughter, am the ruler here!"
After his arrogant speech ended...
The King of Slaughter charged straight forward.
Unexpectedly, halfway through his flight, he found himself unable to move a muscle.
With a gentle wave of Jin Mian's hand...
An unparalleled power instantly separated the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King that was possessing Tang Chen's body.
The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King was instantly dumbfounded.
In its eyes, the arrogance and disdain from just now were completely gone.
In its place was fear.
Simply because it felt a pressure from a completely different level emanating from the person before it.
It asked tremblingly, "You... just who are you?"
"I'll give you one last chance. Where did the Evil Soul Masters imprisoned here go?" Jin Mian gave it a final opportunity.
"I'll talk, I'll talk. A few months ago, someone named Tang San..."
The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King was scared witless.
It hurriedly explained the situation.
At the same time...
As the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King was separated...
Tang Chen finally regained consciousness.
However, Jin Mian paid him no mind.
When he heard the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King say it was Tang San who had released the Evil Soul Masters from Slaughter City...
He was instantly enraged!
"What a Tang San! To do such a thing for his own selfish interests."
"If I had known, after eliminating Tang Hao and destroying the Clear Sky Sect, I should have wiped this guy out as well!"
The newly awakened Tang Chen...
Heard that Tang Hao had been killed and the Clear Sky Sect destroyed.
He instantly perked up.
He looked at Jin Mian and questioned, "What did you just say? Hao'er died at your hands, and even the Clear Sky Sect was destroyed by you?! Just who are you?"
"You woke up quite fast, Tang Chen."
"Since you asked, I might as well tell you."
"I am the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, the grandson of Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the new God of Destruction—Jin Mian!"
"Slaying Tang Hao and destroying the Clear Sky Sect was indeed this God's doing."
"Do you have an objection?"
*Pant*—*Pant*—
"Ah!!!"
"So you are that old fellow Jin E's grandson!"
"Today I will have you pay with your life for Hao'er and the Clear Sky Sect!"
Tang Chen panted like an ox, his eyes bloodshot.
He roared like a madman.
Summoning the Clear Sky Hammer, he charged toward Jin Mian.
"As I said, I have already become a god, yet you are still so overconfident," Jin Mian said faintly.
He waved his sleeve.
The aggressive Tang Chen was directly blasted into thin air.
Seeing Jin Mian easily kill Tang Chen, the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King was so terrified it hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Lord God!"
"Please spare my life!"
"I am willing to become your most loyal subordinate."
Hearing this...
Jin Mian's emotionless voice rang out: "Not needed."
Boom!
After an explosion...
The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King was also directly finished off.
As for the Asura Sword on the ground...
Jin Mian thought that since the Asura God was already in seclusion...
He would reluctantly take it into his custody for the time being.
Picking up the Asura Sword...
He turned and left Slaughter City.
