Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

........

The Divine Realm Committee.

hall.

The five God Kings gathered here and sat on their own chairs. In order to show his care for Ning Rongrong, Tang San specially added a chair for Ning Rongrong and placed it next to him so that Ning Rongrong could sit on it.

At first, Ning Rongrong refused. As a second-level god, there was an insurmountable gap between her and the god kings present in terms of identity, status, and strength.

In this situation, she wanted to maintain her proper position and simply stand there.

But Tang San insisted on doing so because Ning Rongrong was a member of the Shrek Seven Devils.

He hoped that through these small details, Ning Rongrong would remember the God King's kindness and thus deepen her feelings for the Shrek Seven Devils.

After all, the Shrek Seven Devils were his old team. If he were to engage in a fierce battle with Destruction in the future, he would need these guys to help him and fight on his behalf.

At Tang San's insistence, Ning Rongrong finally sat down next to him. As for the other four God Kings, they were not so narrow-minded as to feel dissatisfied with Ning Rongrong just because she was sitting at the same table.

You must understand that this is the realm of gods, not a mortal empire, and the god-king is not a human emperor.

Moreover, there are more pressing matters to attend to now.

The God of Destruction surveyed the surroundings, his gaze sharp as a knife. He said, "Now that everyone is here, I will explain the reason for convening the Divine Realm Committee..."

He quickly recounted in detail how he discovered the anomaly in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, then went down to the mortal realm to find the corpse of the Goddess of Love and the disappearance of the divine artifact, captured Ning Rongrong's divine consciousness, fought with Tang San, and was ultimately stopped by the Goddess of Life.

After hearing these words, Ji Dong's expression turned rather unpleasant; he was currently very angry.

Just now, he and Lieyan were working hard to conceive their first child.

After all, in the realm of gods, it is inherently difficult for deities to conceive children. If he wanted to have a child with Lieyan, he had to try his best, otherwise the probability of having a child would be greatly reduced.

However, because the Destruction Transmission informed him that the Divine Realm Committee was about to convene, he had no choice but to shorten his "effort" time and then hurriedly came here with Lieyan to fulfill his duties as a God-King. Although with his and Lieyan's strength, they could have each sent a divine consciousness to attend the meeting.

According to the rules of the divine realm, all five God-Kings must attend the meeting in person once the Divine Realm Committee is convened. This is to demonstrate the importance attached to the meeting, since each meeting of the Divine Realm Committee involves important matters.

After hearing the God of Destruction's explanation, he was extremely dissatisfied with Tang San. If it weren't for Tang San, he would still be working hard with Lie Yan for their child.

Even Lie Yan looked at Tang San with some hostility at this moment.

Tang San knew that at the Divine Realm Committee meeting, he had no room for denial regarding the memories Ning Rongrong held in her divine consciousness.

He could make excuses before because only the Destruction God-King was in front of him. Now that all five God-Kings are gathered, if he were to continue to argue that those memories were modified by Destruction, he would be treating everyone like fools.

At this moment, Tang San's face showed a complex expression of grievance, resentment, and anger. As a powerful God King, it was not a big deal for him to make such a facial expression.

Chapter 449 Tang San: I Have My Reasons

At the same time, Tang San secretly used his divine power to make his eyes redden and tears flow, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

He shouted, "I can endure any hardship for the sake of the divine realm. But I just don't understand why, when everyone is working for the divine realm, the one who does the most work suffers the most injustice. Why do you, God of Destruction, insist on holding onto this matter of Qiankun Asking Love Valley?"

"Yes, I admit that I did go to Qiankun Wenqing Valley with Rongrong and tested Xiaoqi and some mortals. I even planned to prevent those who passed the test from inheriting the position of the God of Love. But I did this for the overall benefit of the God Realm. Did I not know that doing this would violate the rules of the God Realm? I had my reasons for doing this."

"A predicament?" The God of Destruction sneered, his crimson eyes flashing. "Sea God, stop making excuses. What predicament could you possibly have? The evidence is irrefutable. Everyone, vote on this matter immediately. I suggest that the Sea God be punished. As for the details of the punishment..."

"Destruction! Let me finish speaking. Even when interrogating a criminal, one is given the opportunity to explain! Besides, I am not a criminal! I am one of the five great god-kings of the divine realm, and in terms of status, I am equal to you."

Moreover, the God Realm Committee is not your personal fiefdom, nor is it a place for you to abuse your power. Every God-King can voice their opinions here on an equal footing! Tang San interrupted the God of Destruction, his anger growing stronger, as if he had encountered an extremely unjust situation.

As he spoke, he stood up from his chair, placed his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and said in a defiant manner, "Or is it that you're worried I'll say something that's bad for you, so you're in such a hurry to shut me up and settle the matter of Qiankun Wenqing Valley?"

If that's what you think, then you can declare me guilty right now. But justice is innocent!

Upon hearing this, Destruction felt that Tang San's words were putting him in a very difficult position. So he snorted coldly and stopped talking, tacitly allowing Tang San to finish speaking. The evidence was irrefutable, and he wanted to see how Tang San would try to deny it.

As for life, Ji Dong and Lie Yan did not stop Tang San from continuing to speak, after all, it was reasonable for Tang San to ask to continue speaking.

Moreover, no matter what mistakes Tang San made, the other party was a God King, one of the five top combat forces in the God Realm, and irreplaceable. Allowing the other party to speak completely was a way of respecting Tang San's strength.

Seeing this, Tang San patiently explained his predicament to the gods present: "For the sake of the God Realm, I have to interfere with the succession of the God of Love's position. The God of Love's position is, after all, a first-level god position. Once someone can inherit this position, they can become the nineteenth main god of the God Realm."

Currently, because the position of the God of Love is damaged, the divine realm can only set up three major trials based on the position of the God of Love. However, this will undoubtedly lower the quality of those who pass the trials and select Gods of Love who are not talented enough.

In the short term, the divine realm can gain one more first-level deity, which is beneficial to the divine realm.

However, in the long run, if a new god of love is created so easily, it will be detrimental to the divine realm. After all, everyone knows that for the same divine position, the more talented the successor, the more power the divine position can exert, and it may even bring the divine position to a new level.

My current attainments in the position of the Sea God have surpassed those of the first Sea God!

If a less talented successor were to take over as Sea God, even if he spent twice as much time, he would not be able to achieve what I have today!

Therefore, my personal intervention in this matter was also to improve the quality of the successor to the God of Love's throne, and for the overall benefit of the divine realm. If acting in the best interests of the divine realm is wrong, then I would already be guilty of heinous crimes!

Destruction laughed in anger upon hearing these words. He thought to himself, "Tang San is really trying to flatter himself. The reason why your achievements in the Sea God position have advanced by leaps and bounds is because you have mastered the central hub of the God Realm, which allows you to conveniently 'steal' the power of faith in the God Realm, thereby increasing your control over the Sea God position and improving your cultivation in the Sea God position, isn't it?"

What does this have to do with your talent?

Moreover, Tang San's words sounded grand and noble, as if he were willing to go through fire and water for the God Realm, but in essence, wasn't he still acting in his own self-interest?

According to Destruction's view, although no evidence can be found regarding the theft of the Goddess of Love's corpse and the divine artifact, this matter must be related to Tang San. It can't be that humans from the lower realm stole this thing, right?

Undoubtedly, this is impossible. The humans on Douluo Star are too weak to steal the body of the Goddess of Love and the divine artifacts. Only gods could do such a thing. However, the gods who recently went to Douluo Star were Tang San and Ning Rongrong.

This is no ordinary coincidence, so according to Destruction's idea, what Tang San just said was complete nonsense.

The other three God Kings also wore helpless smiles. If it were before, Tang San's words might have actually won the sympathy of the three God Kings. But Tang San had violated the rules of the God Realm and put on a show of being noble many times. The three God Kings were not fools. How could they possibly believe Tang San's one-sided story?

Tang San observed the reactions of everyone to his words and was somewhat disappointed. However, he continued, "Since the new God of Love has not yet appeared, I also bear some responsibility. In order to make the God Realm more stable and powerful, after the vote, I will step forward to find the first God of Goodness and the first God of Evil, with whom I have a good relationship."

I'll talk to them and urge them to pass on the super artifact to Ji Dong and Lie Yan as soon as possible!

Upon hearing this, even Ji Dong, who was originally dissatisfied with Tang San, was somewhat taken aback. He and Lie Yan, who were equally surprised, exchanged glances, after all, the lack of a super artifact had a significant impact on the strength of Ji Dong and Lie Yan.

The reason why Ji Dong and Lie Yan are currently the two weakest among the five God Kings is partly because they have only been in the God Realm for a short time and their cultivation is insufficient. If they had more time to cultivate, their control over their own godhood would undoubtedly be better.

Another reason is that they don't have any super artifacts.

However, if the problem of the super artifact can be solved, Ji Dong and Lie Yan's strength will definitely take a leap forward. But if they want Tang San to be the persuader, it means they must help Tang San in the vote later, which undoubtedly violates the rules of the God Realm.

According to the rules of the divine realm, the God-Kings in the Divine Realm Committee must take the interests of the divine realm as their starting point and uphold a fair attitude when voting.

At this moment, Ji Dong and Lie Yan's eyes met, their expressions subtly shifting. Without words or telepathy, they understood each other's choice.

Chapter 450 Tang San is Punished

Destruction said, "Let's start the vote. I propose that the Sea God be punished by being permanently stripped of his law enforcement status, and that either Ji Dong or Lie Yan be appointed as law enforcement officers to fill the vacancy."

Furthermore, unless permitted by the Divine Realm Committee, the Sea God's true form cannot enter Douluo Star until the body of the Goddess of Love and her divine artifacts are found. After all, the Sea God is still suspected of stealing the Goddess of Love's body and artifacts.

In fact, Tang San had already been stripped of his status as an enforcer by the God Realm Committee during one of its punishment decisions.

However, Tang San believed that this punishment was actually temporary.

After all, as both the Asura God and the Sea God, he possesses immense strength and is considered one of the top experts even in the current God Realm. His importance is self-evident.

In any case, the other god-kings in the Divine Realm Council could not completely turn against him, nor could they expel him from the Divine Realm Council. He was an indisputable important member of the Divine Realm Council.

Therefore, Tang San always believed that one day he could regain his identity as an enforcer, continue to use this identity to profit, and maintain a good relationship with the elemental gods.

For example, if I, as an enforcer, were to catch an elemental god violating the rules of the divine realm, I could choose to let them go, and in doing so, I would naturally gain the elemental god's friendship.

As for those useless gods who made mistakes and were caught by him, Tang San would naturally be impartial and act according to the rules.

The God of Destruction's suggestion was tantamount to extinguishing his own hope of becoming an enforcer again and hindering his great cause.

Thinking of this, Tang San became somewhat angry. Damn Destruction, you have already chosen your own death!

Encouraged by the God of Destruction, the god-kings present quickly began to vote.

First, destruction. He said without hesitation, "I agree to punish Tang San as described above. Everyone knows that Tang San has been violating the rules of the God Realm. If it were just a violation once or twice, it would be fine, and he could just say it was an accident."

However, it seems that Tang San has violated the rules of the God Realm far too many times. If even the God King does not abide by the rules, then what is the point of the so-called rules?

How can a god-king who completely disregards and tramples upon the rules of the divine realm be a good enforcer of the divine law?

It's not surprising that the God of Destruction agreed to punish Tang San, since the relationship between the God of Destruction and Tang San has never been good, and their conflict is becoming increasingly acute.

If the God of Destruction were given a legitimate and legal way to suppress Tang San, he would absolutely not let Tang San go.

Now is a good opportunity to suppress Tang San. If Tang San can be permanently stripped of his law enforcement status and a new law enforcement officer is supported instead, Tang San can be made to pay a price.

Then, the Goddess of Life said calmly, "I agree with Destruction that Tang San should be punished as described above. Now it's your turn to vote."

Upon hearing this, Ji Dong, who was standing to the side, was somewhat surprised. He felt that the Goddess of Life might have changed her mind, as she had actually shown considerable support for Tang San during the meeting.

However, recently, the Goddess of Life has repeatedly stood on the opposite side of Tang San and chosen to attack him.

Tang San was not surprised by this. He had expected this scene to occur. Perhaps because he was mentally prepared, his emotions did not fluctuate much.

So he focused his attention on Ji Dong and Lie Yan, since only these two could help him.

His voting rights had been temporarily suspended for 100 days as part of the previous punishment. If Ji Dong and Lie Yan both agreed to the proposal of destruction, he would definitely be punished.

However, if Ji Dong and Lie Yan both vote against it, then it will be a draw, and I won't have to be punished for the time being.

Of course, whether Ji Dong and Lie Yan could understand his predicament was another matter, but the allure of a super artifact was simply too great for Ji Dong and Lie Yan.

For the sake of this amazing artifact, these two guys will definitely help me.

After all, with the super artifact, Ji Dong and Lie Yan's strength will be able to leap forward.

Thinking of this, a confident smile appeared on his face.

Ji Dong's gaze sharpened, and he said, "Rules are very important; they are one of the foundations for maintaining the stability of the God Realm. Therefore, I agree to punish the Sea God. No one can be above the rules of the God Realm, otherwise it will bring disaster. The Sea God's wanton interference in the lower realm, even meddling in the succession of the God of Love's position, reminds me of an old story."

"If I remember correctly, when Lieyan and I were still in the lower realm, the deity who attacked us was the God of Slaughter. And the God of Slaughter belonged to the God of Asura and was his right-hand man!"

“He violated the rules of the divine realm and descended to the mortal realm without the permission of the divine realm committee, leaving me with a very bad impression. I do not want such a thing as a deity violating the rules and arbitrarily descending to the mortal realm to happen again.”

Lieyan said calmly, "I agree with Ji Dong's point of view, and I also agree to punish the Sea God. After all, nothing can be accomplished without rules."

At this moment, Tang San's face turned extremely ugly, and the confident expression he once had on his face vanished completely.

He hadn't expected that Ji Dong and Lie Yan would go against him on this matter. He had clearly promised to let them get the super artifact as soon as possible, but these two guys still didn't know what was good for them.

Now that we're down to four against zero, we've undoubtedly lost and can only accept the punishment without any chance to resist.

Destruction said, "Now that the voting results are out, we will punish you immediately. From today onwards, Ji Dong will be an enforcer and will handle the tasks required of enforcers in the God Realm."

Tang San, you can leave now. However, I don't want to see your true form appear on Douluo Star again.

Tang San snorted coldly, turned around, and walked to Ning Rongrong's side.
