Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 674 Disposal and Request (Combined)

"The Seed of Asura... what a pity."

Inside a room on the second floor of the Divine Realm Committee, Chen Junting examined the broken seed, his tone tinged with regret.

The destruction of the Seed of Asura signifies the ruin of the Asura God's position, thus ending the reign of a powerful god-king.

However, the complete decline of the Asura God position, a long-established God-King position, is not good news for the entire God Realm, but it is a good thing for Chen Junting.

Because the rules of judgment and killing held by the Asura Godhood are largely related to the Order Godhood that Chen Junting has condensed. If his Order Godhood can absorb these rules, then the Order Godhood is essentially no weaker than the original five God-King Godhoods of the God Realm, and may even be able to condense the Seed of Order belonging to the Godhood of Order.

With this in mind, Chen Junting didn't hesitate any longer.

Anyway, after the Asura God's position was damaged, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, although they showed regret and reluctance, still handed it over to him to deal with, and there would be no further follow-up.

In that case...

"Om-"

The divine power of order enveloped the Seed of Asura. With precise division, the rules that matched the divine position of order were quickly drawn out and merged into the divine seal of order between Chen Junting's eyebrows.

However, Chen Junting did not rush to absorb it, but continued to focus on the Asura Seed, which was on the verge of collapse. After all, having extracted so many rules, the Asura status had long been lost, and the fact that it could still be maintained was entirely due to the support of the divine power of order.

"We can't waste these remaining rules."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Junting's third eye on his brow suddenly opened. The next second, a stream of destiny power was poured into the Asura Seed, which was on the verge of collapse. Instantly, the signs of collapse were stabilized, and the crimson color unique to Asura gradually faded, replaced by a pure and flawless transparent crystal.

After a moment's thought, Chen Junting looked at the brand-new crystal, flicked his finger, and a sword rule and the sword intent he had comprehended were separated and put into the crystal.

In an instant, the transparent crystal underwent a transformation.

The original peace and tranquility were immediately replaced by sharpness and ferocity, but soon it became heavy and slow, and then... constantly changing, but all of them were the rules of the sword.

In this way, the prototype of a godhood was formed, and it was a godhood that leaned towards the "sword".

"That's it."

Extending his right hand, Chen Junting pinched the nascent divine spark between his index finger and thumb, examined it closely, and nodded in satisfaction. "In this way, even if Old Ji has difficulty gaining faith, he can still shape his own divine position based on this divine spark."

After all, his success in becoming a god through faith was due to a confluence of favorable timing, location, and popular support. If any one of these three factors were missing, not only would it not have been so smooth, but he might not have even achieved the position of a first-level god, let alone the position of god-king.

Given the current state of the Douluo Continent, acquiring enough faith is hundreds, even thousands of times more difficult than it was back then.

But once this prototype is in place, everything will be different.

"...The rest is up to Lao Ji himself."

The Heavenly Eye locked onto Ji Juechen's location in the Douluo Continent. With a flick of its finger, the nascent divine spark streaked across the sky like a shooting star, falling towards Ji Juechen's location.

After Chen Junting finished doing all this, "knock knock knock..."

There was a sudden knock on the door of his room.

"come in."

With a casual wave of his hand, the door opened.

"Brother Junting, the meeting is about to begin."

Wang Dong'er, looking haggard, was standing outside the door. She was in low spirits and even seemed a little depressed.

However, this is understandable.

"Okay, I'll go down right away."

As the one who replaced the position of the God King of Asura and also took charge of the central authority of the God Realm, Chen Junting could not be absent from this important event called a "meeting," which was actually a "judgment declaration."

He had only just stepped out of the room when he heard, "Dong'er."

"…Hmm? What's wrong?"

Wang Dong'er, who was in a daze, didn't react for a moment until she met Chen Junting's eyes. Then she seemed to be jolted awake and came back to her senses.

But when Wang Dong'er saw Chen Junting's actions clearly, it was no longer just a matter of being startled and coming to her senses.

"This is the divine position and supreme artifact of the sea god."

Chen Junting took out a blue-gold mark, resembling a trident, while the golden trident lay horizontally in his palm, as if the weight of 108,000 jin was nothing.

"Now that Tang San is dead, the position of Sea God is vacant and unclaimed. You have already passed the Sea God's test and are only one step away from inheriting the position. Therefore, the Sea God's position should be returned to its rightful owner. Go and inherit it first, and then attend the meeting as the chief god."

As for why the Sea God's divine position, despite possessing the power of a God-King, is still merely a Main God status… that's because Tang San's breakthrough as the Sea God was only in his own strength, not a transformation of the Sea God's divine position itself. Once Tang San dies, the God-King nature of the Sea God's divine position will decline, reverting to a Main God status. Even the God of Destruction and the others didn't understand this; it was only after Chen Junting obtained the Sea God's divine position that they realized it.

"Brother Junting, you underestimate me too much."

However, Wang Dong'er did not accept it.

Instead, he stared intently at Chen Junting, his words firm, "Yuhao and the others think this way, and even you think this way!"

The reason why Huo Yuhao and the others had Wang Dong'er come up to call Chen Junting, instead of anyone else, was because they considered Wang Dong'er's current state of mind. Otherwise, if a single divine sense could handle the matter, there would be no need for them to go up and down to greet her.

It was precisely because Chen Junting realized this and understood Huo Yuhao and the others' intentions that he used the Sea God's position to distract Wang Dong'er. Otherwise, inheriting the Sea God's position would have been the same sooner or later and wouldn't have been a problem.

"Do you really think you can accept this?"

Chen Junting looked at Wang Dong'er and asked a question.

"Of course!"

"Xiao Qi is Xiao Qi, and I am me!"

The root cause of Wang Dong'er's recent low mood wasn't Tang San, because Tang San was dead, and the debt was settled. What truly caused Wang Dong'er's slight imbalance was Xiao Wu.

Half an hour ago, after Tang San's death, Wang Dong'er went to see Xiao Wu alone. Although no one knew what had happened, Wang Dong'er's emotions were off after she came out. Similarly, Xiao Wu was the same, even a hundred times more extreme than Wang Dong'er. Her hatred and resentment were palpable, and she practically went mad.

"Then it's fine as long as you feel you can accept it."

Seeing that Wang Dong'er said this, Chen Junting stopped asking questions.

We're all adults, what more can we say?

"However, you should put these two things away for now. You have passed the Sea God's test, and according to the rules of the God Realm, it is a foregone conclusion that you will inherit the Sea God's position. As for when you will inherit it, that is ultimately up to you to decide."

"it is good."

Wang Dong'er accepted the divine position and artifacts without hesitation.

She spoke again as soon as she got her hands on it.

"Can I participate then?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Junting couldn't help but smile.

"Do you think I can stop you? Even if you don't want to acknowledge them, physiologically and ethically, you are qualified to participate even if you are not a god. But have you really thought this through? If they are charged with rebellion, they will be sentenced to death!"

That is—the death penalty!
"Of course!"

……

"Now, after the ruling of the Divine Realm Committee, the trial of the Five Great God-Kings and Supreme Enforcers, and the vote of all the major gods, the God of Destruction, the God of War, the God of Speed, the God of Phoenix, the Goddess of Nine Colors, and the God of Food are hereby sentenced to death for the crime of 'rebellion,' stripped of their divine positions. The Asura Sword Sheath is also sentenced to death. All the family members of the above-mentioned gods are imprisoned in the Forbidden Land of Gods, never to leave it for the rest of their lives!"

"Execute immediately, effective today!"

The trial concluded with a unanimous vote.

Through the central control of the divine realm, Chen Junting manipulated the rules of the divine realm with the power of order, easily stripping the judged gods of their divine positions and seizing all their divine artifacts. Then, "Boom boom boom—"

Seven bolts of divine lightning struck, and amidst curses, silence, and final pronouncements and words, the Shrek Seven Devils and Zhou Weiqing met their tragic end. For a moment, the entire divine realm fell silent.

For it has been countless years since such a scene of judgment, with so many gods falling, has occurred.

After the meeting adjourned, only five God Kings and Huo Yuhao and the others remained in the God Realm Committee meeting hall.

"Gentlemen, these are their divine positions and divine artifacts."

Chen Junting flipped his palm, and the divine positions and artifacts of the six deities floated in his hand. Just as he was about to discuss with the other four god-kings how to deal with these divine positions and artifacts, before he could even speak, the God of Destruction spoke up and set an example.

"You can handle all of this."

His last gaze fell upon the position of the God of Destruction, but he only shook his head in disappointment. "You took all of them before they died, so these positions and artifacts should rightfully be disposed of by you as well."

The God of Destruction's words were echoed by the other three God-Kings. Seeing this, Chen Junting no longer refused and instead put away the six divine positions and six divine artifacts.

However, after that, the God of Destruction and the others discussed with Chen Junting how to dispose of the Golden Dragon King's corpse.

"The corpse of the Golden Dragon King..."

"Exactly."

"As a split entity of the Dragon God, he possesses the physical power of the Dragon God and the power of destruction. Although his cultivation level cannot compare with ours, his strength is definitely above that of an ordinary God-King, not to mention his physical body. Back then, the forty-ninth rib that we broke in that battle could be transformed into a divine artifact, the Golden Dragon Spear. So even if he has perished and his power has been largely extracted by his divine core, his corpse is still a treasure."

"I see." Chen Junting smiled and shook his head. "But never mind. The four of you dealt with the Golden Dragon King earlier, so you should distribute the corpse as you did just now."

He was not greedy for the corpse of the Golden Dragon King.

Just as the God of Destruction said, most of the Golden Dragon King's essence had been extracted by the divine core, and after Tang San forcibly absorbed the divine core, it was destroyed by himself, leaving very little of the good stuff.

Moreover, the God of Destruction generously gave away his subordinate, the God of Destruction's Hateful Earth Ring Set, without asking for it back. Keep in mind, this is a super artifact.

Therefore, there's absolutely no need to fight over the Golden Dragon King's corpse.

Moreover,
He didn't really contribute anything in slaying the Golden Dragon King.

You shouldn't accept rewards without merit.

"Well."

Seeing that Chen Junting didn't want it, the God of Destruction didn't force him.

However, he then glanced at the gods of good and evil. Upon seeing this, the two immediately understood the god of destruction's meaning, and so they took their leave and turned to depart.

Similarly, Gu Tianchen and his group also had similar experiences.

"The senior of the Space Sect has bestowed upon me a divine position, and we still need to coordinate some follow-up matters. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. Old Chen, we'll meet again later."

"You're right, I'll be going now."

Wu Feng nodded in agreement.

However, before she left, she leaned close to Chen Junting's ear.

"Call us if you need anything, and I'll come right away!"

A deliberately lowered voice is actually the same as not lowering it at all.

Finally, under Chen Junting's helpless and embarrassed gaze, Gu Tianchen dragged him away, bringing the matter to a close.

So, only Huo Yuhao, who was about to leave with Wang Dong'er, remained on the entire God Realm Committee. But he was stopped by the God of Destruction as soon as he set off, "You go, she wants to stay."

The cold tone could easily lead to misunderstandings, just as Huo Yuhao subconsciously thought that the God of Destruction had categorized Wang Dong'er as a "family member of a rebellious deity" and was going to banish her to the forbidden land of the gods.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Fortunately, just as Chen Junting frowned, the Goddess of Life cleared up the misunderstanding in time. "Destruction, your words have caused a misunderstanding."

Her coquettish anger was like spring thunder, and her words were like a spring breeze.

When the Goddess of Life turned to Huo Yuhao and said, "Don't misunderstand, we want to talk to Xiao... Dong'er about some private matters. Can we have some space alone?" Huo Yuhao's emotions were calmed down, and he turned to look at Wang Dong'er.

After a moment of silence, Wang Dong'er said:
"Yuhao, wait for me outside."

After Chen Junting gave him a promise, "Don't worry, I'll take care of things here," Huo Yuhao naturally agreed.

After Huo Yuhao left, the Goddess of Life looked at the God of Destruction, but only received a shake of the head in response. So the Goddess of Life led Wang Dong'er alone to a room on the second floor of the God Realm Committee, wanting to talk to her privately.

Just as only the God of Destruction and Chen Junting remained in the hall, the God of Destruction spoke somewhat abruptly, "Actually, Life and I have always wanted a child, but because our divine positions have become fundamental, we are simply unable to conceive a child."

Upon hearing this, Chen Junting immediately understood.

But there was also surprise.

"So you want Dong'er to give up her to your daughter?!"

"Yes."

The God of Destruction looked towards the second step, "Dong'er, or rather, Xiao Qi, was raised by my husband and me. Because we had no children of our own, we poured all the love we had for other children into Xiao Qi. We never imagined..."

At this point, the God of Destruction's eyes turned bloodshot, and a destructive intent surged around him. Fortunately, Chen Junting subtly intervened, using the power of order to calm him down, allowing him to regain his composure.

Even so, it did not quell his anger.

"...That Tang San is completely unfit to be a father!"

That's right.

Chen Junting nodded silently to the side, expressing his strong agreement while continuing to listen to the God of Destruction's narration.

"So in the end, Life and I discussed it and decided that since Tang San didn't cherish it, then we would cherish it. Dong'er has never experienced the love of her parents, so we, as her husband and I, will give it to her."

For the first time, the God of Destruction looked towards the second step with a slightly apprehensive gaze, and then fell silent.

Seeing this, Chen Junting kindly advised:

"Since you're worried, why don't you go up and take a look?"

"No need, it might not be appropriate for me to go up there."

Or rather, I believe in Xiao Lü.

The God of Destruction thought to himself, "This is the last sentence."

Seeing this, Chen Junting stopped trying to persuade him.

until…

"Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

"…right."

"what's up?"

When asked this, the God of Destruction's expression became serious and solemn. "I want your support for something!"

"Expand the realm of gods!"
