Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 158 The Asura God's Impotent Fury, Coronation Completed
"You retreated too quickly. There was still hope of defeating him. Ning Qiuyang was just using tricks. Didn't you see that he didn't dare to confront us directly?"

In the realm of gods, the Asura God, having withdrawn his projection, roared angrily at the other four god-kings.

We're all in this together, so why am I the only one suffering losses?
The God of Evil coughed and said, "You should think more positively. Losing your Asura Demon Sword isn't necessarily a bad thing."

The Asura God was so angry his nose almost twisted out of shape.

It wasn't you who lost the artifact. If your artifact had been stolen, you would have been even more furious than I am now.

"Tell me, what good would it do to lose my sword?"

The evil god said, "Weren't you just worried about not being able to pinpoint the location of the underworld? Now that Ning Qiuyang has taken your Asura Demon Sword to the underworld, you can use it to sense the exact location of the underworld."

The Asura God rolled his eyes.

"Do you think I don't know? But I've completely lost my sense of the Asura Demon Sword. I can't even retrieve my sword, let alone locate the underworld."

"This……"

The Asura Demon Sword is the most important inherited artifact of the Asura God, and it has been with him for countless years. Logically speaking, even if separated by countless planes and unimaginably far away, he should at least have some vague sense of it.

However, the Asura God had no vague sense of it whatsoever, as if the Asura Demon Sword had completely vanished.

"Uh..." The God of Evil had nothing more to say.

"Then everyone should go home. I've been busy for so long, I need to go back and rest."

Seeing that things were not going well, he tried to slip away.

"Come back here! What about my sword? We must find the Asura Demon Sword!"

"Asura God said anxiously."

He is also contributing to the divine realm, so we can't let him suffer losses alone, can we?
"Well, as long as you lock onto the underworld plane, I'll help you get the Asura Demon Sword back."

After saying this, the god of evil waved his hand and slipped away, with the god of good following closely behind.

"you……"

The Asura God was so frustrated he felt like vomiting blood.

"Destruction, you're not going to just stand by and do nothing, are you? I'm on your side. If you suffer a loss, I'll help you without hesitation."

The God of Destruction was also feeling uneasy.

He has lost face big time today, in front of all the gods in the divine realm and countless mortals in the lower realm.

The embarrassment was secondary; the most crucial issue was the existence of the underworld, which made him extremely uneasy, feeling that it must be the greatest threat to the divine realm.

He was preoccupied with the life-or-death crisis of the divine realm, and paid no attention to the trivial personal matter of the Asura God's artifact.

"Don't you still have a plan to use human power to strike at the Spirit Hall and Ning Qiuyang? You can start implementing it now, right?"

The God of Asura gave the God of Destruction a deep look, and after a long while, he said:

"The original plan was to make the image of the gods of the God Realm deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Douluo Continent today, and at the same time completely suppress the reputation of the Spirit Hall. Now that the first step has failed, the subsequent plans will probably be difficult."

"Go ahead and do it. Even if it's difficult, it's better than doing nothing. As long as you can force Ning Qiuyang to completely expose the coordinates of the underworld, it will be a huge success no matter the cost."

The God of Destruction said firmly.

The Asura God said nothing and simply turned and left.

That's easy to say, but why are you leaving all the work to me? You other god-kings can't just stand by and do nothing, can you?

But thinking of his Asura Demon Sword, he gritted his teeth and accepted the responsibility.

After the Asura God left, the God of Destruction expressed his dissatisfaction to the Goddess of Life:

“You shouldn’t have lingered in the lower realm for that long, and you shouldn’t have said those kinds of things to that great enemy of the gods.”

One minute they're still fighting, the next they're saying such sweet nothings. In the eyes of the God of Destruction, this is utterly shameless.

The goddess of life was not surprised by the god of destruction's attitude; she knew the god of destruction's personality well and knew he would say that.

“Some people are not necessarily enemies, and it is unwise to treat them as enemies.”

The God of Destruction's expression immediately turned much uglier. The God of Evil and the God of Good, from a divine perspective, were almost completely incompatible, yet they were of one mind and could agree on virtually everything.

The conflict between him and the Goddess of Life regarding divine position and duties was not actually greater than theirs, but on many issues, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life had completely opposite attitudes.

"Now that things have come to this, he is already a great enemy of the gods. We must do everything we can to nip this danger in the bud."

A hint of disappointment appeared in the eyes of the goddess of life.

"I hope you get what you want, otherwise, you and the God of Asura will bring an unprecedented enemy to the God Realm."

After the goddess of life completely disappeared, the god of destruction, now alone, remained motionless for a long time with a gloomy face.

"I did nothing wrong. Uncontrollable dangers must be eliminated."

After a long while, the voice of the God of Destruction rang out alone.

……

Douluo Continent, Wuhun City.

The gods of the divine realm disappeared, and I witnessed a thrilling battle of divine powers. Although many didn't say it directly, it's clear what they were thinking.

That was awesome! So awesome!

In the underworld, the numerous phantom images of deities also disappeared one by one.

"Qian Renxue, you are now my Ghost Emperor of the Underworld. You may continue to reign."

The divine realm wanted to strip Qian Renxue of her legitimacy and divinity as an "angel goddess," but Ning Qiuyang endorsed her, completely thwarting the divine realm's plans.

After saying that, the many illusory figures that had just stood tall in the sky completely disappeared.

"Xiaoxue, can we continue with the coronation now?"

Qian Renxue's projection also disappeared, and her consciousness completely returned to her original body.

"Well, it's alright."

As she said this, Qian Renxue looked around absentmindedly, hoping to see the figure who had once again helped her so much.

Qian Daoliu felt a pang of sadness.

This is your coronation ceremony! Please show some respect to the former Pope who is crowning you, okay?
Suddenly, Qian Daoliu noticed a bright smile appear on Qian Renxue's face.

"Are you looking for me?"

Qian Renxue's eyes sparkled as she looked at Ning Qiuyang with a gentle yet firm gaze.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

"No, this is nothing, you can continue."

"it is good."

Qian Daoliu: What a load of rubbish! Do I have no status left?
"Here you go, you can crown Xiaoxue."

Qian Daoliu handed the crown to Ning Qiuyang with a very unpleasant expression, and then took a few steps back.

Rather than being ignored repeatedly, it's better to just back out.

What made Qian Daoliu even more heartbroken was that after he handed over the task of coronation to Ning Qiuyang, Qian Renxue's smile became even brighter.

"Am I in a position to crown you?"

Ning Qiuyang asked, holding the crown.

"It's my honor to be a good fit."

Qian Renxue's gaze was gentle as water, her smile as beautiful as the sunset, and her voice as melodious as a nightingale's song.

Ning Qiuyang placed the crown squarely on Qian Renxue's head.

"From this day forward, Qian Renxue shall succeed as Pope of the Spirit Hall!"
