In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Huo Yuhao felt very uncomfortable.

He knew perfectly well that it was a very fair thing for Soul Masters to have the qualifications to become gods and for gods to have the space to improve their godhood, but he still felt uncomfortable, as if there was an inexplicable anger that he couldn't vent.

Because... he was not the beneficiary of this incident.

After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhao glanced at the documents on the table and said listlessly, "Sister Yu, let's think of a way to get Elder Song and the others out. A day or two is fine, but it definitely won't work if it takes too long. With a major battle imminent, we can't afford any trouble in Shrek City."

Chen Yu said sarcastically, "Oh, Huo Yuhao, three days ago... who was it that was so desperately trying to put him on trial? What, now that you know you're no longer capable and can't keep the Sea God Pavilion running, you want to release him to continue working for you? There's no such easy thing in the world! Do you really think the whole world revolves around you, Huo Yuhao?"

"So what!" Huo Yuhao slammed his fist on the table and roared through gritted teeth, "We are inheritors of the gods, and we should focus our energy on cultivation. We shouldn't be thinking about these mortal affairs. If you want to handle it, then you handle it. I'm going home to cultivate."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao picked up the documents on the table again, slammed them down in front of Chen Yu, and then turned around, making as if to leave the office.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yu's eyes narrowed, and he quickly stood up, grabbed Huo Yuhao's hair, and slammed him to the ground, giving him a thorough beating.

"Huo Yuhao, are you even a man? You always try to hide when something happens. With your cowardly attitude, you think you can become the ruler of the God Realm? Do you even deserve it?"

As he spoke, Chen Yu cursed and grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm, dragging him toward the door.

"Chen Yu, what are you doing?"

Seeing that he was about to be dragged out of the Sea God Pavilion, and after struggling in vain, Huo Yuhao showed an expression that was even more painful than crying, and frantically shook the arm that Chen Yu was holding.

Chen Yu curled her lip and said irritably, "What for? Of course, we're taking you to the dungeon to beg for Elder Song's forgiveness. What else could we be doing?"

"Hmph, Huo Yuhao, you better put your mind to it. If you mess this up, you might as well stop being a man. I'll cut off your thing, put on a skirt, and go home to breastfeed your baby."

And so, dragged along by Chen Yu, the two of them arrived at the dungeon on Poseidon Island once again after three days.

"Come here!"

Chen Yu grabbed Huo Yuhao by the collar and slammed him against the door of Song Qingying's solitary cell.

For the sake of his happiness in the second half of his life, Huo Yuhao hurriedly got up from the ground. He was about to say hello, but when he saw the scene inside the cell, the expression on his face froze instantly.

The old woman with gray hair had disappeared, replaced by a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties and still had a charming appearance.

Is Song Qingying cultivating?

Wait, this is a dungeon! Why wasn't Song Qingying's soul power sealed? Aren't you afraid she'll escape?

Huo Yuhao seemed to have thought of something, and quickly turned around, looking at Chen Yu at the dungeon entrance with a suspicious gaze.

Having experienced similar things many times, Huo Yuhao, being no idiot, naturally learned from them. He had already realized the problem, but perhaps... Song Qingying had learned of the news from the God Realm before him.

Chen Yu has reached some kind of cooperation agreement with Song Qingying.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and said bluntly, "Chen Yu, since you've already reached a consensus, what's the point of me coming here? To make a fool of me?"

Chen Yu: "..."

Huo Yuhao has improved quite a bit; he's much better than that idiot who was initially just full of enthusiasm and only wanted to revive the Tang Sect.

"Lu Qingshuang and Chen Yi ran away and went to seek refuge with the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest."

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu uttered these rambling words.

"What? Lu Qingshuang and Chen Yi ran away? They went to join the Soul Beast Clan? What does that have to do with me? The families under the Sea God Pavilion are all looking for a way out. They're just two cowardly little girls. It's normal for them to move to a completely safe environment, right?"

Huo Yuhao crossed his arms, seemingly unconcerned about Lu Qingshuang and the other person's escape.

"Speak up, my... Senior Sister Chen Yu, just tell me what you want me to do. My IQ isn't high enough to understand all these complicated things."

Chen Yu nodded and said, "It's not a big deal. Originally, I wanted Lu Qingshuang to go to Lingdou City to oversee the battle, but she suddenly left the Sea God Pavilion. For a while... I couldn't find a suitable person to replace her original mission."

"How about this, if you don't mind, you, Huo Yuhao, will go to Lingdou City to oversee the battle. Don't worry, overseeing the battle doesn't mean going to the battlefield, so there won't be any major risks. If you don't understand the intricacies of this, you can bring Beibei or Xu Sanshi to Lingdou City and let them exercise the power of supervising the army in your place."

Supervise, supervise the battle?

Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. He was supposed to beg Song Qingying for forgiveness, but how did this get to the topic of supervising the battle?

Huo Yuhao always felt that... Chen Yu seemed to be plotting against him.

However, considering the current situation in the Douluo World—chaos in the lower realm and even greater chaos in the God Realm—Huo Yuhao felt relieved.

Chen Yu wouldn't go so far as to kill Huo Yuhao. He is the inheritor of the divine power and needs to bear the pressure to continue the glory of the Sea God Pavilion. This trip to Lingdou City shouldn't be too risky.

Huo Yuhao nodded, agreeing to Chen Yu's arrangement.

……

Meanwhile, in the secret chamber of the Temple of Life in the Douluo God Realm.

Tang San, Xiao Zi, the God of Destruction, and Xiao Lü, the God of Life, were sitting around a round table, all three looking worried. After managing the God Realm for so many years, this was the first time they had encountered such a helpless situation.

Two days ago, the second-level gods, third-level gods, and some hunters and priests in the divine realm went on strike, demanding that the divine realm committee amend the rules and formulate a feasible promotion system, so that their upper limit should not be locked at the moment of merging with a divine position.

Even the most popular law enforcement goddess in the divine realm, Xiao Lü, personally intervened to persuade them, but to no avail. It's unclear what kind of spell Ning Rongrong and the others had cast on those people, but no amount of persuasion, including threatening them with their lives, could change anything.

This really gave the three law enforcement gods a headache.

This is no longer a matter of the law not punishing the masses. The divine realm has existed for so many years, why did a rebellion have to occur at this particular time?

Just when the mortal realm was in turmoil and people were demanding that the divine realm open up the path to godhood so that every soul master would have the qualification to become a god, the divine realm pulled this stunt.
