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

Spirit world.

Since the divine realm launched its campaign against the underworld, the atmosphere in the divine realm has become much more somber.

The Evil God King and the Good God King—no, they should be called the newly appointed Evil God King and the Good God King—have only been in office for a short time and are completely clueless about the divine realm.

"Before I became a god, I thought we would have to start from scratch after arriving in the God Realm. I never expected that we would become the boss of the God Realm as soon as we arrived," Ji Dong said, nodding.

Lieyan rolled her eyes at Ji Dong: "This doesn't seem like a good thing. Haven't you noticed that the atmosphere in the God Realm is a bit strange? When the two seniors passed on their godhood to us, it was as if they had thrown away a hot potato, and suddenly they became relaxed."

Ji Dong and Lie Yan are the newly appointed God of Evil and God of Goodness, respectively.

After supporting the divine realm for more than ten years, the former God of Good and God of Evil finally found successors who could inherit their divine positions. The heavy responsibility of the divine realm will now be handed over to the successors.

They seemed somewhat rushed when they bestowed the divine positions. Regarding Ji Dong and Lie Yan's questions, the former God of Good and God of Evil expressed their belief in Ji Dong and Lie Yan's wisdom, saying they would definitely be able to solve the problems of the divine realm.

As for the two of them, they naturally slipped away.

They felt they had been quite responsible. Compared to the three god-kings of life, asura, and destruction, they had supported the divine realm for at least ten years, and only abandoned their posts after finding suitable successors. They had already lived up to their status as god-kings.

As for how Ji Dong and Lie Yan should deal with the ever-growing underworld plane and how to resolve the matter of the God of Destruction, that's none of their concern.

All of this was fate's arrangement, a test for Ji Dong and Lie Yan, the two new God Kings.

Ji Dong and Lie Yan, on the other hand, were numb. Having gone through countless hardships to finally become gods, the heavy burden now fell on their shoulders.

Moreover, the power transition between the former evil god and the good god was very hasty, and the god only gave a few words of explanation about the dangers they faced before decisively slipping away.

"So, have you gotten any specific information from the other gods in the divine realm?" Ji shook his head, picked up the wine pot, and took a sip of wine.

Although they were both god-kings, they were newcomers with no foundation in the divine realm and no subordinates they could trust.

Moreover, the fact that they became the successors of the God of Evil and the God of Good at this time makes them seem like they were just temporarily brought in to take the blame, and it's uncertain how long they can hold onto their positions as God-Kings.

Therefore, after Ji Dong and Lie Yan arrived in the God Realm, few gods took the initiative to befriend them, let alone bow down in worship. Ji Dong and Lie Yan, the two God Kings, had to find other gods to gather information.

“I’ve found out,” said Blazing Flame.

However, Lieyan frowned deeply, clearly indicating that the information he had obtained was not good.

Gulu~

Ji Dong took another sip of wine.

"Just tell me the bad news. We've been through so much, what does it matter how big the difficulties are?"

Lieyan rolled her eyes at Ji Dong.

"If you drank less, I might actually believe what you said."

"Haha, that won't do. To be honest, I really don't want to be the god of evil. I'd rather be a carefree god of wine, with nothing to worry about."

Ji Dong appeared very open-minded; suddenly becoming a God King in the God Realm was certainly not a good thing for him.

"Your idea is probably going to be in vain. The crisis facing the divine realm is far beyond our previous expectations. I don't have much confidence that we can resolve the crisis in the divine realm smoothly."

"Oh? Tell me."

Ji Dong slightly toned down his carefree expression and began to listen attentively.

"You know there used to be five God-Kings in the God Realm, right?" "Yes."

"The two seniors didn't go into details, but do you know why the other three God-Kings have disappeared?"

Ji Dong nodded. The former God of Evil and God of Goodness seemed eager to get rid of their burdens when they passed on their divine positions. They didn't even explain such an important matter to Ji Dong and Lie Yan in detail, but instead told them to find out for themselves.

The raging flames then launched a campaign against the underworld, but suffered a crushing defeat. Two of the three god-kings who went to fight were killed, and the only one who escaped unscathed, the God of Destruction, was unwilling to return to the divine realm and instead stirred up trouble in the mortal world.

"So, we're facing a powerful force that even the combined might of three God-Kings and numerous deities couldn't defeat?"

Ji Dong's smile turned somewhat bitter.

He knew the throne of the God-King was not easy to sit on, but he never imagined it would be this difficult.

"You're being too conservative. It's not that it's unsolvable, but rather that we'll suffer a crushing defeat, and a devastating one at that."

"Tell me, if we were to quit now and go back to our world as carefree rich old men, would it still be too late?"

"What do you think?" Flame said irritably.

"Oh, this is really difficult."

Ji Dong let out a long sigh.

Even if he was confident in his talent and strength, he was not arrogant enough to think that he and the two newly formed God-Kings, Blazing Flame, were comparable to the three veteran God-Kings.

The Asura God and the others failed, and they couldn't even escape from the underworld. Ji Dong believed that if he and Lie Yan were to confront the underworld, their fate would probably not be much better.

Lieyan added, "According to information gathered from other gods in the divine realm, this underworld plane doesn't seem to be an evil force. It's more like the divine realm wants to annex the underworld plane to elevate the overall level of the divine realm."

"So, even though we're the weaker party, it seems like we're the bad guys?"

"That's true."

Ji Dong now only regrets why he had to become a god. Wouldn't it have been better to just be an ordinary person in the mortal realm?
He finally understood why his two predecessors... no, they should be called two old foxes, were so easy to talk to and directly passed on their divine positions to them. The divine realm was clearly a huge fire pit and a cesspool.

Facing a powerful enemy is bad enough, but to make matters worse, the enemy is in the right, and he has somehow become the leader of the opposing force.

"Do you think the underworld might be more accommodating? Once they discover the leader of the divine realm has changed, they might not hold a grudge?"

"Then you should pray to God for protection. No, we are gods now, so praying to God for protection won't help."

Ji Dong lay down completely.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it. I wonder if the underworld needs a brewer. Maybe I should just surrender when they attack the divine realm. I don't even need the position of God-King. Just give me the title of God of Wine."

"Then you should pray that the gods of the underworld will be more accommodating and willing to accept your surrender. However, besides the threat from the underworld, we also need to deal with another matter."

"Is there anything else? You might as well just tell me everything."

"It's nothing much, just the matter of the God of Destruction staying in Douluo Continent. He seems to have been provoked and is brewing a huge conspiracy in Douluo Continent. We are now the God Kings of the God Realm, and we must resolve this matter."

"Dealing with a God-King? That seems a bit difficult."

"Then tell me, is it more difficult to deal with a single God-King, or to deal with the underworld?"

"Alright, I've decided to deal with the God-King. By the way, what trouble has the God of Destruction caused?" (End of Chapter)
