Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 705 Standoff

No one would provoke Han Hao, who was on high alert. What Ji Dong and Lie Yan could see, the gods could also see.

Don't be fooled by the God of Destruction's current imposing presence and seemingly unstoppable power. Anyone with eyes to see understands that it's just a case of the cat being out of the bag. Once Han Feng returns, the God of Destruction will be unable to shake the Defense lineage. Even now, the Defense lineage still has two God Kings, Han Hao and Dai Mubai, in charge. Tang San and Huo Yuhao will not stand idly by and watch the Defense lineage decline!

Even assuming we disregard Han Hao and Huo Yuhao, are Oscar and his group easy to mess with?

The gods are all very wise. If they wanted to take advantage of the defensive faction's misfortune at this time, they would truly be courting death!

Of course, there are also gods who cannot see the situation clearly, but even if there are, they are all divine servants or third-level gods. Facing the defensive lineage, they are like mayflies trying to shake a tree. Rather than causing trouble, they might as well wait and see.

Therefore, the Endless Ice Prison naturally became the eye of the storm in the realm of gods!

At this very moment, in the deepest part of the Endless Ice Prison, six incredibly powerful figures stood in the air. Six streams of divine power soaring into the sky suppressed the boundless chill of the Endless Ice Prison. Only six majestic and unparalleled forces intertwined and clashed between heaven and earth!

The positions of these six figures are quite interesting; six people, yet they have managed to form four distinct camps!

Under the profound gazes of the crowd, the God of Darkness resolutely stood beside the God of Destruction. From the moment the God of Darkness integrated the core of the true meaning of destruction into the super artifact of the God of Life ten thousand years ago, the God of Darkness and the God of Destruction were already in the same boat. Whether the God of Darkness wanted it or not, he could only choose to help the God of Destruction!

After all, if the God of Destruction fails, there will be no place for the God of Darkness in the realm of gods!

The saying goes, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold." The God of Darkness cannot expect the God of Destruction to protect him!

On the other side, Huo Yuhao and Dai Mubai, representing the defensive lineage, stood side by side, confronting the God of Destruction. The two forces were entangled and unable to break up. If it weren't for the God of Life and Tang San intervening, the Endless Ice Prison would probably have collapsed!

In fact, Huo Yuhao cannot be considered a member of the defense lineage. He is the leader of the emotion lineage and has a large number of emotion gods under his command. The God of Love in Qiankun Valley was one of them.

However, given the relationship between Han Hao and Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao naturally became half a member of the defensive lineage.

This left Tang San, Tang San's father-in-law, quite helpless.

Despite being their own son-in-law, he always seems to be running off to Han Feng's house, while Huo Yuhao hasn't been able to visit their own Sea God Temple for decades—who can blame him for Tang San's overly rigorous training of Huo Yuhao back then!?

In addition, the God of Life and Tang San stood in two other positions.

It is worth mentioning that although the God of Life and Tang San seem to be not helping each other, a closer look reveals that the God of Life is subtly leaning towards the God of Destruction, while Tang San is leaning towards Dai Mubai. Their choices are quite obvious!

"Destruction Old Dog!" Dai Mubai's entire body surged with murderous aura, his Heavenly Fiend Halberd pointing directly at the God of Destruction, showing absolutely no mercy. A disdainful sneer appeared on his lips as he mocked, "I suspected you were still hiding a trump card back then, and now it seems you truly haven't changed!"

"Wouldn't it be better to just stay hidden in the abyss?! Why insist on courting death?!"

Faced with Dai Mubai's mockery, the God of Destruction remained unmoved, only giving the God of Life a deep look.

After lying dormant for millennia, the God of Life was the only thing the God of Destruction cared about. Now that he has returned, the God of Destruction has countless things he wants to say to the God of Life, but unfortunately, now is clearly not the time for them to reminisce.

The God of Destruction withdrew his gaze, his eyes beneath the hood remaining calm as he coldly stated, "Heavenly Fiends! Defense! Both are cancers in the divine realm! Now you and Han Feng are even colluding with each other, and Han Hao is further disrupting the divine path, shaking the foundations of the divine realm. I am the God of Law Enforcement, upholding divine rules. If I do not eradicate the defense faction, how can I bear to disappear from the divine realm?!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai narrowed his eyes, a murderous aura flickering within them.

At the same time, Tang San looked at the God of Darkness and asked with regret, "Darkness! The central authority of the God Realm treated you well, why did you come to this?!"

Upon hearing this, the God of Life couldn't help but look at the God of Darkness.

The God of Life should naturally be happy about the resurrection of the God of Destruction, but in this form, the God of Life is really not happy!

At this moment, the return of the God of Destruction will only bring trauma and turmoil to the realm of gods!

This is not what the god of life wants to see.

But the reason why all this happened is definitely inseparable from the fact that the God of Life's prized disciple, the God of Darkness!

This made the God of Life feel betrayed—especially since the God of Darkness was bewitched by the God of Destruction, which made the God of Life even more desolate!

Facing the gazes of the God of Life and Tang San, the God of Darkness let out a bitter laugh. Guilt, helplessness, and sorrow surged into his heart at that moment, but he felt no regret.

"Lord Sea God! With your talent, you naturally wouldn't understand!" The God of Darkness looked at Tang San with envy and said, "You! Han Feng! Tian Sha! Han Hao! All four of you are extraordinary talents, your talent comparable to the first generation of the God of Law Enforcement!"

"Han Feng is the third Bloodline God King in the God Realm, possessing forbidden divine abilities and unparalleled combat power. He successively overpowered the Evil God King and the Destruction God King. You hold two great god positions, and even without cultivation, you are one of the top God Kings in the God Realm. Yet, even so, you have cultivated from the Sea God position to the God King position in just ten thousand years. Tian Sha is the same; backed by the powerful earth veins of the God Realm, he achieved the God King position in ten thousand years, becoming invincible with the earth veins!"

"Han Hao forged an even more extraordinary path to godhood, ascending to become a God-King!"

"But what about me!?" The God of Darkness's voice trembled, and he roared in a frenzied voice, "I received the teachings of the God King of Life, and it is said throughout the divine realm that I, Darkness, am worthy of being a God King! But in reality? I have been stuck at the gates of the God King for a full fifty thousand years!"

"Lord Poseidon! I merely wished to advance further, what have I done wrong!?"

The God of Darkness's rhetorical question silenced both the God of Life and Tang San.

Just as the God of Darkness himself said, they had nothing to say. The aura of original sin emanating from the God of Darkness was so intense that it could not be suppressed at all. Everyone could guess how the God of Darkness broke through to the God King realm—if that was the case, then it was not incomprehensible!

Whether it's out of jealousy or resentment, the bottom line is: people strive for higher positions!

The God of Life, in particular, felt no resentment or sorrow after hearing what the God of Darkness had to say; instead, he was filled with pity for the God of Darkness.

After all, he was the disciple he had taught. Among those present, even the God of Darkness himself probably did not understand him as well as the God of Life. In fact, the God King was not only the God of Darkness's unresolved issue, but also the God of Life's unresolved issue!

The God of Darkness certainly has the potential to be a God-King, there is no doubt about that. The God of Darkness's talent may not be as great as Tang San's, but it is even a step above Rong Nianbing and Dai Mubai!

With such talent, the God of Darkness should have become a God-King!

But the God of Darkness happens to be the disciple of the God of Life!

No matter how you look at it, the positions of the Dark Gods are actually all positions of the evil gods. However, the God of Life is kind by nature, and his teachings to his disciples are naturally not extreme or bloody. This inevitably has a subtle influence on the God of Darkness—making the evil god do good is putting the cart before the horse!

Therefore, the God of Life always felt guilty about the fact that the God of Darkness could not break through to the God-King level. Now that the God of Darkness had revealed this, the God of Life felt a sting in his eyes, and crystal tears flowed uncontrollably.

Dai Mubai merely scoffed and made things difficult for the God of Darkness.

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, wanting to plead with Dai Mubai for the God of Darkness—the elemental gods and the emotional lineage had a good relationship, and the God of Darkness and Rong Nianbing were longtime friends. Huo Yuhao didn't actually want to be enemies with the God of Darkness!

However, he was the youngest among those present, and this was no longer a matter of whether he wanted to be an enemy of the God of Darkness, but rather whether the God of Darkness would show him mercy!

In short, they could all understand the God of Darkness, and if they were in his shoes, they couldn't say that the God of Darkness was wrong.

And who says that helping the God of Destruction is wrong, and standing on the side of defense is right?

That being said, it's understandable, but not forgivable!

Right and wrong are right and wrong, and stance is stance. These are all mature minds, and on this point, everyone can distinguish them very clearly!

"Hmph!" Dai Mubai was the most relaxed one. He didn't have many identities or entanglements. All he needed to consider was the interests of the defense faction. He snorted coldly and roared, "Further words are useless! Destruction! Come and fight!"

Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction did not hesitate. The Scepter of Destruction, which had been dormant in the central part of the God Realm, was revived, turning into purple light and flashing across the sky of the God Realm, colliding fiercely with the Heavenly Fiend Halberd in Dai Mubai's hand!

The aftershocks radiated outwards, but failed to leave the Endless Ice Prison before being stopped by Ji Dong and Lie Yan, who were watching from the sidelines.

On the other side, upon seeing this, the God of Darkness attacked Huo Yuhao without hesitation. Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly and had no choice but to fight back!

Tang San and the God of Life did not take action. Instead, they set up a barrier to stabilize the space of the God Realm.

Although the two of them seem harmless, they are actually wary of each other!

To be fair, Tang San and the God of Life still had some rationality left. They didn't want the conflict to escalate, but they were also very clear-headed. What they were thinking was almost entirely out in the open!
