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

Killing is definitely not an option; once you raise the butcher's knife, it will be difficult to put it down again.

Apart from the newly ascended second- and third-level gods, all the remaining veteran gods have joined in. If they were to suppress them with force, the divine realm would definitely be paralyzed.

This is not the situation Tang San wanted to see.

But the question is... how should this riot be resolved?

To compromise?

Modifying the rules of the God Realm is not a difficult task, but Tang San does not want to do so.

Because... Tang San knew very well that the title of God King in the Douluo World was not very prestigious. As long as there were enough resources, anyone could become a God King.

He would never allow anyone to shake Tang San's position in the God Realm, never!

"Sea God, now that things have come to this, I no longer want to hide anything. My purpose in expanding the God Realm is to make the Douluo World stronger and to find a way to fuse the attributes of life and destruction so that Xiao Lü and I can have a child of our own."

"I know what you and Xiao Lü are worried about. Aren't you afraid that our three positions will be insecure after the expansion of the God Realm? But now... more and more gods are waking up, and it is obviously impossible to rule the God Realm as before."

"If you ask me... let's take this opportunity to expand the divine realm, modify its rules, and give those lower-ranking deities a chance to advance."

The God of Destruction clenched his fist, his excitement evident. For him, who became the ruler of the God Realm was not important. That position was always held by the capable. As long as his family could live happily, nothing else mattered.

"I agree with Xiao Zi's proposal to expand the divine realm and revise its rules."

After some thought, the Goddess of Life expressed her opinion. This was the first time she had supported her husband in front of Tang San since the Shrek Seven Devils ascended to the God Realm.

Tang San: "..."

What more do you need to say?

With his current strength, he simply cannot fight against two god-kings at the same time.

Thinking of this, Tang San sighed and slowly nodded.

……

A bombshell announcement spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

The Sea God Tang San descended with his divine sense, thus announcing the official opening of the path to godhood. Once a Soul Master reaches the Quasi-God realm, they will have the ability to communicate with the God Realm. Whether they inherit a godhood or create their own, from now on, the path to godhood will no longer be elusive. Anyone who cultivates to the Quasi-God realm will have the qualification to become a god.

The scene shifts to Tiandou City, the Imperial Palace, and Liyue Palace.

Yin Hongchen took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I say... Grand Preceptor, Tang San has clarified the conditions for becoming a god, which has salvaged some of the reputation of the Sea God Pavilion. With this shift in power, it will definitely be much more difficult for us outsiders to conquer the remaining two great empires. Why aren't you worried?"

Hearing this, Zhu Ningyu pursed her lips and said irritably, "Vice Hall Master Yin, let me ask you, do you believe that a courtesan Douluo can remain celibate after separating from his wife?"

Ah this...

Yin Hongchen frowned and said, "Some things can only be done zero times or countless times. I personally don't believe that a courtesan Douluo would reform and remain chaste for his wife who is far away."

Zhu Ningyu chuckled and said, "That's fine then. So what if the conditions for becoming a god are clearly defined? Tang San can portray the brothel fighter Ro Hongjun as a devoted person. What else can't he do? Hehe, isn't it just about being able to communicate with the God Realm by cultivating to the Quasi-God Realm? Tang San can completely prevent non-Tang family members from cultivating to the Quasi-God Realm, or he can pull some tricks during the God Examination."

"Moreover, the Martial Soul system itself has many problems. Without awakening a Martial Soul, one cannot obtain the qualification to cultivate. The quality of a Martial Soul limits the upper limit of a Soul Master, and so on."

"If these problems are not solved, the Douluo World will never be able to become strong and will always face the risk of being enslaved by other worlds."

As she spoke, Zhu Ningyu took out a set of resources from her bosom and pushed it in front of Yin Hongchen.

Yin Hongchen took a look, and her expression froze instantly.

The above is a short story.

In a small plane called Xuanwei Realm, there lived a plane ruler named Tang Ji.

He came from a distinguished family; his father was a blacksmith with a ninth-level cultivation, and his mother was a transformed demon beast with a ninth-level cultivation.

Because the relationship between humans and monsters was extremely bad, Tang Ji was born unpopular, and his own grandfather almost threw him to his death.

By some stroke of luck, Tang Ji managed to snag a saintly position and, through a series of underhanded means, killed other threatening saints, ultimately becoming the ruler of the plane.

Fearing that someone might threaten his position, Tang Ji devised a series of "pig-raising" strategies. He maintained his dominance by burning all cultivation techniques with high potential, reducing the lifespan of cultivators, and dismantling a complete cultivator into various styles such as attack, defense, speed, and healing.

Later, when foreign enemies invaded, the cultivators of the Xuanwei Realm only focused on developing a single attribute. As a result, even with the close cooperation of seven cultivators from various schools, they could barely contend with a single enemy cultivator. Therefore, the Xuanwei Realm suffered repeated defeats and lost half of its territory in less than a year.

Even so, Tang Ji preferred to cede territory and pay reparations, allowing his people to live in misery, rather than develop a cultivation system to compete with the invaders...

Soon, Yin Hongchen finished reading the whole story. Well... how should I put it? Any normal person could tell who Tang Ji was referring to. Hmph, he was practically pointing his finger at Tang San and cursing him.

"Excellent, excellent. The Grand Preceptor's move was truly brilliant. He directly seized upon Tang San's weakness. Tang San dares to list out the conditions for becoming a god, but he may not dare to fully develop his cultivation system."

As she spoke, Yin Hongchen took out a thick book from her storage bracelet and placed it on the table.

"My esteemed advisor, I think... we could revise the story we just told and put it at the end of the complete Douluo quadruple volume. Hmm... it would still be about foreign invasion, where the battle armor and mechs couldn't inflict the slightest damage on the Soul Palace protectors in their soul form. The Douluo world suffered repeated defeats, and in order to protect his position, Tang San chose to cede territory and pay reparations to the foreign enemies, sending Xiao Wu and Tang Wutong away as a gesture of goodwill..."

Yin Hongchen revealed a villainous smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ningyu's expression instantly turned strange.

Yin Hongchen is too ruthless; she wants Tang San to never be able to turn his life around.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. After living for tens of thousands of years, Tang San's methods of fighting enemies are still the same old methods used by the old Sea God Poseidon, such as Unstable Storm and Thousand Years of Empty Space.

If things had really progressed according to Tang San's ideas, there might not have been many people who could cultivate soul power and be qualified to fight against the Soul Palace Protectors!
