Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 88 The Changes in the God King
This meeting of the gods was attended by these enforcers, including Tang San, the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, the God of Death, and the new generation of the God of Good and the God of Evil, Lieyan and Ji Dong.

Other gods also joined in.

As the wife of the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, who gradually diverged from the God of Destruction in governing the divine realm, also stared intently at the God of Destruction beneath his hood, hoping to find some answers in his cool and aloof expression.

The reason why she gradually went against Destruction in governing the divine world was not because she and Destruction had an emotional disagreement, but out of consideration for the divine world.

Based on his own personality and the influence of the God of Destruction, Tang San, who holds the dual positions of Sea God and Asura God, is relatively better able to manage the God Realm, is more conducive to the peaceful coexistence of the God Realm, and elevates the God Realm to a higher level of status.

However, in recent years the God of Destruction has gradually gone against her wishes...

The God of Destruction felt the inquiring gaze of the God of Life under his hood. He smiled as coolly as ever, pushed down the brim of his hood, and tactically tapped his fingers on the table.

As the husband of the God of Life, Destruction naturally knew the true meaning behind the God of Life's gradual departure from his own path. After his rebirth, no one knew except his subordinates, the God of Original Sin, and himself.

While he was in the world of strife, he was extremely sensitive to various destructive factors due to his own and his divine position. When Tang San, who was supported by the God of Life and was himself the Asura God King, became the enforcer of the God Realm, he knew very well that this person was not as good as he seemed.

Therefore, in his previous life, he did not hesitate to oppose the God of Life supporting Tang San and to oppose this self-important Tang God King in order to eliminate the potential for destruction.

However, the God King Tang was very good at disguising himself, and the God of Life was unable to see the crisis hidden under this hypocritical appearance, thus supporting him to become the law enforcer of the God Realm. With two votes overwhelming one vote from the three remaining God Kings in the God Realm, all the gods in the God Realm were unable to understand his warnings, and believed that he just wanted to turn the God Realm upside down because of his inherent destructive character!

This is from a previous life, but the timing of the rebirth was wrong, otherwise it could have been stopped.

Right now, he has no chance.

Damn it, he ruined his and Xiao Lü's chances of being resurrected; this person must pay the price.

Tang Shenwang looked at Destruction with a cold gaze and said indifferently, "Destruction, what brings you to the Divine Realm Committee?"

“Yes, destruction. If there are any urgent matters, please make them public so that we can resolve them as soon as possible and ensure the orderly operation of the divine realm,” the God of Life said softly.

The God of Death's face remained unchanged, clearly indicating that he knew everything that had happened, and he looked at Tang San.

Tang San looked at the God of Death and sensed that the other party knew something.

The God of Destruction glanced around at the several God-Kings seated around the throne, smiled arrogantly, and said calmly, "Gentlemen, according to the laws of the divine realm, if a deity, and a God-King at that, violates the rules of the divine realm, what should be the punishment?"

The God of Life frowned slightly and said, "At best, he will apologize to the gods and actively rectify his mistakes; he will be imprisoned for three years. At worst, he will be stripped of his divine position and forced to leave the divine realm, never to return. At worst, his divine position will be abolished, or his position will be taken back and he will be eternally imprisoned in the divine realm's purgatory."

If the offense has contributed to the divine realm, the punishment will be lenient. For the God-King, the punishment will be lenient: ten years of imprisonment; moderate punishment: the removal of the divine realm's enforcers and the abdication of the divine position; severe punishment: if the offense is particularly serious, the god-king will be stripped of his divine position, subjected to the ultimate execution, and refined by the power of the divine realm.

The God of Destruction smiled coldly, stood up, looked at the gods below, and asked again: "If a god knowingly breaks the law, uses divine power for personal gain, and interferes with the mortal realm, what crime should he commit?"

Tang Shenwang frowned and said calmly, "Interfering in the lower realm has not had a significant impact on the divine realm. It is merely for personal gain. Therefore, he should pass on his divine position and reincarnate."

"If it has a significant impact on the divine realm, damages its foundation, or hinders its advancement to a higher position, then it will be eternally suppressed in the divine realm's purgatory, refined by the power of the divine realm, and completely annihilated in the cycle of reincarnation."

After saying this, God King Tang suddenly felt that the God of Destruction seemed to have hidden meaning in his words, as if he was laying the groundwork for something.

"Tell me, what urgent matter do you want to announce?" King Tang said coldly.

The God of Destruction stared intently at Tang San and said, "Tang San, since you have said so, then let me tell you, Tang San, you have violated the laws of the divine realm, interfered with the development of the lower realm, and sought personal gain. What is your punishment?"

Tang San frowned slightly, his pupils contracted, and he wondered why Destruction would ask him this question.
Could it be that my, the Mechanical Deity Douluo, plan to implement a ten-thousand-year plan has been exposed?
Or was it that my second incarnation to Douluo Continent to eliminate Huo Yuhao was discovered?
But I planned carefully and did everything extremely covertly, so there was no way it would be discovered!

Tang San was instantly drenched in sweat. Although he had done these things, he would never tell anyone.

This divine realm isn't entirely under his control; the Destruction Couple possess two God-King votes. The God of Death's votes also tend to favor Destruction.

Although one has the right to veto, the majority is greater than the minority, so the veto is useless.

"God of Destruction, what are you talking about? I have no knowledge of what you said."

"I don't know, Tang San. You should just admit it. If you don't say it, I'll have to say it for you," said the God of Death.

Suddenly, Tang San's secondary body suffered a backlash from being severed, which was exactly what the God of Death wanted.

If the backlash occurred after he was killed, Tang San would have had a chance to make amends. Even if he said it, there would be no evidence to prove it.

But after being beheaded, the establishment of the Divine Realm Committee changed everything.

At this moment, Tang Shenwang, who had been calm and composed just moments before, suddenly changed his expression. As the backlash took effect, his aura suddenly surged out of control, and the overwhelming power of the Asura God and the Sea God surged out, as if a god of slaughter had been born, causing the magnificent temple of gods to rumble loudly.

Many gods began to whisper among themselves, speculating about the matter.

The Goddess of Life listened to the speculations of these gods. She was a supporter of the Tang God-King, and seeing him kneeling on the ground in such a disheveled state, she was greatly shocked.

Was the God of Destruction's previous warning not entirely unfounded? The God of Life looked at Destruction, who sat calmly on his throne, his eyes flashing as he fell into deep thought.

As the gods held their breath in suspense, Destruction slowly rose, hands in his pockets, and stood before Tang God-King in a few steps. He glanced down at the disheveled figure on the ground, his tone icy cold: "The pure and noble Tang God-King, now reduced to this state—are you willing to admit the crimes I just mentioned?" Tang God-King, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, clenched his fists, glaring fiercely at the God of Destruction: "This God-King suffered a sudden drop in divine power due to a mistake in cultivation. What do I have to explain?!"

He finally realized that Destruction used the God King's order to urgently convene the Conference of Gods at this point in time, probably to target him and pull him down from his position as the law enforcer in the God Realm!

Perhaps his second incarnation in Douluo had already been destroyed and they had noticed the clues, and were secretly disrupting his ten thousand year plan, so that he would be exposed and they could use the meeting of the gods to conquer him!
Especially since his secondary body was about to meet the Emperor Beast in the Douluo Star Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, and he was about to personally eliminate the cancerous plant that was about to be targeted by Death, the sudden convening of the Gods' Assembly by Destruction, which prevented him from monitoring Douluo Star in real time, was particularly suspicious! He strongly suspected that the accident that happened when his secondary body descended to Douluo was Destruction secretly targeting him!
He died tragically on Douluo Star for the second time, which caused him to suffer a backlash and a sharp drop in his divine power, ruining his long-term plan and destroying himself to death!

God King Tang's thoughts were swirling as he tried his best to suppress the spread of the backlash force and act as normal as possible.

He had descended into the world of the Deus Ex Machina and was planning his grand plan. He had done all these things in a very secretive manner. Now, he could only pray that the Destruction would not be able to obtain evidence of his deus ex machina's grand plan. Otherwise, he would be doomed...

The God of Destruction's gaze was like a knife as he stared at Tang Shenwang's feigned innocent face and sneered, "Pure and Immaculate Tang Shenwang? You should have heard the hidden meaning in that title long ago—he spouts benevolence and morality, but in reality, he's best at absolving himself of all responsibility and playing the role of a moral saint to shirk his guilt. How laughable!"

"Tang San, I know what you're thinking. You probably don't know, do you? You think that by sending your second body down to the mortal realm, you'll be unaware?"

The Goddess of Life, regaining her senses, looked down at the disheveled and humiliated Tang Shenwang, her voice devoid of any warmth:
"Shura, we recommended you as the enforcer of the divine realm because we valued your ability to maintain order and manage it well. Now, look at you, openly interfering in the affairs of the mortal realm!"

As everyone knows, after becoming a god, one cannot interfere in the affairs of the mortal realm, because as a god, one would be ostracized in the mortal realm, let alone a god-king.

The lower realm could not withstand the descent of the God-King, of course, this was before the Heavenly Ranking descended to earth, now it can completely withstand it.

However, there are no god-level powerhouses in the lower realm. Moreover, after the Heavenly Ranking appeared, the connection between the God Realm and Douluo Continent was severed, and Douluo Continent directly became an independent plane, not subject to the control of the God Realm.

But this is something that cannot be interfered with.

The gods were all shocked. Among the five great gods, only the God of Kindness and the God of Evil, who had left the divine realm, were approachable and rarely angry. But today, however, she was filled with anger and questioned the God King Tang. If the God King Tang could not come up with a convincing reason for today's events, he would probably have a hard time getting out of this mess.

Tang Shenwang said with great difficulty, "I didn't. Don't listen to the God of Death's nonsense. I mentioned the problem during my cultivation, and the backlash is not enough to explain it. I, Tang Shenwang, have devoted myself to the development of the God Realm, working day and night. Even if I haven't made any great contributions, I have certainly put in a lot of hard work. Why are you pressuring me like this?"

As a law enforcer of the divine realm, I, the God-King, am most aware of the consequences of violating divine laws. Would I, the God-King, knowingly break the law?

Anyway, this is something you absolutely must never say out loud.
