Chapter 634: The God of Destruction's Doubt: Did He Break the Law?
"Junior, I'm here. Where are you hurt?"
Before long, Ye Lingling arrived in a rush, led by Nan Feiling, and she had already activated her Nine Heart Begonia, ready to heal Nan Feihuang at any moment.
After all, Feihuang was the pillar of the Gu Lei Empire; if anything were to happen to him, the current favorable situation of the Gu Lei Empire might collapse in an instant.
"There's nothing wrong. This guy is just acting spoiled in front of us." Shui Bing'er gave Nan Feihuang a huffy look, then turned to Ye Lingling and said, "Sister Lingling came late; he only scraped a layer of skin off his finger, and the wound has already healed."
Feihuang's self-healing ability was extremely powerful; if he wanted to treat a wound as minor as a scraped layer of skin, he would have to rush to the hospital at full speed without a moment's delay, otherwise, if he arrived late, the wound would easily heal itself.
"Healed?" Ye Lingling was slightly stunned. For such a small injury, was it really necessary to drag her over in such a desperate hurry?
"This is all the fault of you and your family, Sister Ling'er. You spoil him too much; he seeks comfort even for such a tiny scratch," Shui Bing'er sighed.
"Hee hee, of course, after all, he is my precious little brother!" Nan Feiling took pride in it rather than feeling ashamed, and upon learning that Nan Feihuang was fine, she felt relieved.
Feihuang was, after all, the only prince of the Gu Lei Empire, and he had grown up in a honey pot since he was a child.
His father, Nan Tianchen, his mother, Lan Xue, and his three elder sisters and three confidants—who among them didn't spoil him to the extreme? It was truly to the point where if he asked for the stars, they wouldn't give him the moon.
That they could still avoid spoiling Feihuang into a dissolute playboy despite such excessive coddling was actually a testament to their excellent family upbringing.
"By the way, where are Wenruo and E Lai?" Feihuang looked around and noticed a few people were missing.
He could guess why his mother was absent; after all, that had been discussed before the battle. Once she dealt with Tang Xiao, she would head straight for Xingluo City, preferably to capture the White Tiger Great Emperor alive, or otherwise take his head directly.
"Wenruo is currently commanding the main army everywhere to round up the surrendering troops. The Star Luo Empire, the Tang Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect have suffered a crushing defeat this time. The Star Luo Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops have suffered more than half casualties, with over 150,000 surrendering, and the rest are like stray dogs, fleeing in all directions. The Clear Sky Sect's Title Douluo are all wiped out, and the remaining disciples are either dead or captured. This former number one sect in the world can be declared defunct after today," Shui Bing'er explained.
"And the Tang Sect—their Hidden Weapon troops are completely wiped out. As for the three affiliated sects, Niu Gao has been surrounded and killed by Wenruo's summoned soldiers using the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, while Titan and Bai He have been captured alive. In addition, I have also captured Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang."
Shui Bing'er reported the battle results, which sounded quite good. The rest could be left to Xun Yu to handle; such a small matter as accepting the surrender of the remnants could never stump him.
"E Lai has gone to chase after that Tang San and Dai Mubai. Don't worry, little brother, with my E Lai's ability, he will definitely bring back their heads," Nan Feiling said.
Hearing this, Feihuang frowned. He was not worried about Dian Wei's safety; after all, even if Dai Mubai and Tang San combined their strength, they would not be his match.
However, whether he could catch Tang San was an unknown. As the new successor who had been obtained with such difficulty, the Sea God would surely leave a contingency plan on Tang San.
The situation was exactly as Feihuang had expected; Tang San actually possessed a divine artifact, which was the Asura Sword Sheath.
The Sea God had placed most of the power that Tang Chen had passed through the Eight Trials of Asura into the Asura Sword Sheath.
Just as in the original story where Xiao Wu became the bridge for Tang San to inherit the Sea God position by merging with the Asura Sword Sheath, this time, Tang San had merged with the Asura Sword Sheath himself.
Once he fully digested the power of the Eight Trials within it and then grasped the Asura Demon Sword to pass the Ninth Trial, he would be able to become the new generation of the Sea God. At this moment, within the God Realm, the Sea God had summoned the other four God Kings besides himself.
The God of Evil, the God of Goodness, the God of Destruction, and the God of Life, plus him, the Sea God, the five of them together formed the God Realm Committee that managed the order of the God Realm.
All decisions in the God Realm were basically decided by these five people.
"Asura, you summoned us so urgently—has some major event occurred?" the God of Destruction asked.
"Everyone, take a look at this first." The Sea God took out a crystal ball, and what was playing inside the crystal ball was the previous great battle between Feihuang and Tang Chen.
The God of Destruction's eyes lit up. "Oh, among humans, such a powerful youth has actually been born. This youth has the bearing of a God King. Not bad. That guy, the God of Destruction under my command, has been complaining about wanting to resign lately; why not give this youth a chance?"
"Destruction, you seem to have focused on the wrong point. When you look at the Great Sumeru Sword he used to counter Tang Chen's nine-ring explosion, and the skills he used to counter Tang Chen's endless blood explosions, did you not notice the problem?" the Sea God reminded him.
Destruction waved his hand. "Of course I noticed, I don't need you to remind me. It is indeed very incredible that a human could comprehend such skills, but so what? Is it worth you, Asura, paying such attention? Did he break the law?"
"He used this move to kill my successor," Asura said angrily.
On the surface, Tang Chen was the successor to the Sea God, and he dared not mention that he had planned to use Tang Chen as a substitute to let Tang San inherit the God Position; that was a serious violation of the God Realm's laws on God Position inheritance.
These four God Kings would not allow it.
"I know. Your successor was simply no match for that youth; he deserved to be beaten to death. The question remains: did he break the law?" the God of Destruction asked again.
It wasn't as if someone became a successor to a God Position, people in the Lower Plane couldn't kill them.
If a god went down to the lower realm to kill without cause, it would violate the laws of the God Realm, but a human killing a human—what did that have to do with the God Realm? Even if the one killed was a successor to a God Position, it only proved that he was nothing more than that and was not qualified to inherit the Sea God Position.
Moreover, Destruction actually expressed a lack of understanding regarding the Sea God's anger. With his discernment, he could see that even if that Tang Chen hadn't been killed by the youth today, he wouldn't have lived much longer anyway; he was a destined failed successor.
Was it worth the Sea God being so angry over such a destined loser?
"Destruction, I am not angry because my successor was killed, but because I suspect that this youth is creating his own God Position. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to comprehend a Godly Imperial Skill at this age as a human, and it is the strongest type of Godly Imperial Skill at that—a secret technique that many Second-Class Gods have not even mastered," the Sea God explained.
"Creating his own God Position? Hmm, the same as what I thought." Destruction nodded. Actually, he had this suspicion too, but he still tilted his head and asked, "But my question remains: did that break the law?"
It wasn't as if the God Realm didn't allow the creation of one's own God Position; the Sea God's own position was condensed by himself relying on the faith of the sea.
