Chapter 216 Xiao Wu: Do you know how lonely I am?
Before Niu Tian could figure it out, both he and Titan's bodies jolted violently.
Their expressions changed drastically, and disbelief and horror simultaneously appeared in their eyes.
"Big brother, it's Xiaodong! The seal on her divine sense has been triggered, could it be that..."
Titan's voice trembled slightly.
Niu Tian suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the main hall, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
Although Titan didn't finish speaking, in the Douluo Continent, the ability to break the seal left by the gods undoubtedly meant that the Lord had intervened.
Why would the master, who inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God, so recklessly choose to directly trigger the seal on Wang Dong'er?
In that case, wouldn't Tang San, who is far away in the God Realm, know what happened in the mortal world in an instant?
If Tang San were to take this opportunity to report to the God Realm Committee that he had discovered the whereabouts of the other half of the Dragon God in the mortal realm.
Given the current suppression of divine beasts by the gods in the divine realm, wouldn't their soul beast race face another catastrophe, and perhaps never see any hope of revival again?
"Brother, what are you still thinking about! No matter what happens, we must get Xiaodong back first. Only by keeping her by our side can we be truly safe!"
Titan growled anxiously, unable to contain his panic any longer.
Nine jet-black spirit rings rose instantly from beneath his feet, their terrifying pressure making the air in the main hall thicken.
As the sixth spirit ring shone brightly, a dense and dazzling golden light burst forth from his raised right palm.
Immediately afterwards, one after another mysterious and intricate golden light patterns began to rapidly converge in front of him, vaguely intersecting to form a pattern resembling a trident.
Niu Tian suddenly raised his hand and pressed down on Titan's broad shoulder.
A deeper and more powerful force surged forth instantly, suppressing the violent aura emanating from Titan. He frowned and growled in a low voice:
"Don't be impulsive. You know the relationship between Huo Yuhao and Xiaodong. With him around, Xiaodong won't be in any danger."
"But, Big Brother! Xiaodong, she..."
Titan growled in a low voice, somewhat dissatisfied, trying to break free from Niu Tian's restraints.
"Why are you in such a hurry? This is not as simple as the seal on Xiaodong being triggered."
Although there was some anxiety in Niu Tian's blue eyes, he was at least not blinded by panic.
"The person above will probably find out soon. If we act rashly now, it will only make things worse. Let's wait and see what he has to say before making any decisions."
He knew better than anyone that whether they disrupted their master's plans or displeased Tang San, neither of them would likely fare well.
Meanwhile, in the Sea God's Temple in the Divine Realm.
A rich blue-gold halo flowed continuously within the hall like ripples on water, and the air seemed to echo with the tides of the sea.
The handsome young man in blue robes, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly turned pale as he sat upright on the throne in the main hall.
A shadow crossed his azure eyes as he suddenly opened them, which quickly transformed into a raging inferno.
He had only recently laid a trap, sending his mother to Shrek Academy to take root in that ancient golden tree, hoping to catalyze and eventually replace the life core of the entire plane ahead of time.
As a result, the divine seal he had left on Xiao Qi was forcibly broken.
What is this?
Is this a blatant provocation against me, the god-king who holds two divine positions?
"So this is the Silver Dragon King! So this is the consciousness of the Douluo Continent! You are both already courting death!"
It should be noted that the wisp of divine consciousness remaining on Xiao Qi contains one ten-thousandth of his total spiritual energy.
In the Douluo Continent, let alone the so-called demigod-level spiritual power that Limit Douluo reaches after advancing further, even a true third-level god would find it difficult to shake the seal he personally set up.
Before his divine consciousness was completely refined, the last image it transmitted to him was a giant, silver-white dragon with a divine aura.
Without a doubt, it is the Silver Dragon King whom the Divine Realm Committee has been searching for for many years, who fled the Divine Realm and disappeared without a trace after the Great War of the Divine Realm.
His own consciousness was completely refined by the Silver Dragon King in an instant.
This loss was an unbearable consequence, even for a god-king who held two divine positions.
It will probably take a lot of time to regain his skills.
Thinking of this, Tang San's still somewhat pale face was completely replaced by gloom.
The temperature inside the entire Temple of Poseidon seemed to drop a few degrees.
Before Tang San could think further, a voice carrying a hint of concern rang out from not far away.
"Third Brother, why do you look so pale? Has something troublesome happened again?"
Xiao Wu walked over with light steps, still wearing that pink dress, her jet-black hair styled into a long scorpion braid that swayed behind her with each step, and a visible worry on her beautiful face.
Upon seeing Xiao Wu arrive, Tang San suddenly stood up, and the gloom on his face instantly vanished, replaced by his usual gentle smile.
He reached out and took Xiao Wu's arm very naturally, his tone carrying a hint of feigned helplessness.
"It's all because of the tedious affairs of the Divine Realm Committee. As you know, ever since the old Good and Evil temporarily stepped down and handed over the management of the Divine Realm's central authority to me..."
That God of Destruction is constantly going against me, and lately he's given me a lot of trouble. I was just thinking about those things, which is why I seemed a bit worried.
Xiao Wu pouted in dissatisfaction, gently shaking Tang San's arm, and said with a hint of coquetry, "I'm not happy about it."
"Isn't it lunchtime? Why are you still thinking about those annoying things? Or rather, how long has it been since you had a proper rest, Third Brother? And you haven't had any time to play with me at all."
Upon hearing this, Tang San subconsciously said, "Xiao Wu, you know too..."
But before he could finish speaking, Xiao Wu interrupted him in a spoiled tone.
"I'm not listening, you're just talking nonsense. Are you trying to say something again? The old good and evil have entrusted the entire divine realm to you, so you must constantly monitor its operation and cannot slack off in the slightest?"
But those two were having a great time in the mortal realm, so why did it turn out to be a hardship for my husband and me?
And now, our Xiao Qi is also in the Douluo Continent. Do you know how lonely I am, spending every day alone in this empty house?
As she spoke, tears welled up in Xiao Wu's eyes, and her large, watery eyes stared straight at Tang San, her voice tinged with a hint of grievance.
"And Third Brother, didn't you once say that you had considered passing on the Asura Godhood? So much time has passed, haven't you found a suitable successor yet?"
Hearing Xiao Wu say this, recalling the excuse he used to use to fob her off, Tang San's eyes lit up slightly.
A flash of inspiration crossed his mind.
While he was resting with his eyes closed, he had been thinking about how to bypass the rules of the God Realm in order to better influence the situation on Douluo Continent.
Originally, his plan was to wait until the Golden Tree truly grew into the life core of the plane by absorbing the sacrifices of the Sea God Pavilion Masters of Shrek Academy throughout the ages, and then let his mother quietly take its place.
However, it was too late in terms of time.
The only option was to have the mother take root in the Golden Ancient Tree earlier, which in turn required finding other massive amounts of life force to enable the Golden Ancient Tree to evolve rapidly.
However, his actions undoubtedly made that damned dimensional consciousness even more wary of him.
As the plane where the Dragon God ascended, the Douluo plane's consciousness must have already made some dirty deal with the Silver Dragon King lurking in the shadows.
This prompted the Silver Dragon King to take drastic action, breaking the divine consciousness seal he had left in Xiao Qi's spiritual sea in order to remove his crucial means of bypassing the God Realm and influencing the Douluo plane.
However, if there are any other ways in the lower realm to reasonably obscure the view of the divine realm, then the Divine Trial Grounds are undoubtedly the most rule-compliant choice.
He could even take this opportunity to openly and legitimately send his divine consciousness back down to the Douluo plane under the guise of testing the inheritor.
In this way, he could completely conceal the abyss plane from the other god kings and quietly introduce it into the Douluo plane.
Then, the immense energy carried by the abyss will be used to rapidly accelerate the evolution of the Golden Tree.
After all, even if he currently controls the central hub of the divine realm, he can only conceal it for a while at most, and sooner or later the God of Destruction and the others will discover it.
If the other party then launches an attack, I will at least be punished for inadequate supervision, and the God of Destruction may even take the opportunity to demand that I hand over the key to control the central hub of the divine realm.
However, opening the Divine Trial Grounds to conceal the abyss's aura is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
In particular, the position he is going to pretend to pass on is the Asura God's position, whose fierce killing aura can naturally better conceal the traces of the abyss.
As for why the news of the discovery of the Silver Dragon King was not reported to the Divine Realm Committee immediately.
It's all because of the Goddess of Life, who has mentioned more than once in meetings that both sides were at fault in the previous war between the gods.
Now that so many years have passed, perhaps it is time to bring back the Silver Dragon King, who represents the wisdom of the Dragon God, and have an equal dialogue.
After the Silver Dragon King devours the sealed Golden Dragon King and becomes a complete Dragon God again, the divine realm will also reap many benefits.
The God of Destruction would no longer always think of using dangerous methods like the Pillar of Psychic Power to expand the divine realm.
Tang San scoffed at this, but what worried him was...
Once the newly reborn dragon god is revived, its stance will naturally lean towards the god of destruction and the goddess of life.
If it weren't for the entrustment of the old Good and Evil, which naturally made the current Good and Evil God-Kings naturally favor themselves.
Furthermore, as the only dual-god king in the divine realm, he is even stronger than the God of Destruction in certain aspects of combat power.
And even though the goddess of life is the wife of the god of destruction, she does not always fully agree with her husband's plans.
This is why the God of Destruction was constantly hampered within the committee, preventing him from smoothly implementing his evil plans.
In a flash, Tang San had already gathered all the thoughts swirling in his mind, and a suitable smile returned to his face.
"Xiao Wu, you're right. I did indeed want to find a suitable successor to inherit my Asura Godhood through my own investigation."
But now, nearly thirty years have passed in the realm of gods, and ten thousand years have passed in the mortal realm, yet I still cannot find a candidate who satisfies me.
At this point, Tang San let out a timely sigh, his voice tinged with weariness.
"Perhaps I should learn from the old Asura God and find a suitable successor by establishing a place for divine testing, which is a quicker and more convenient method."
"Third Brother, what do you mean?"
A look of disbelief crossed Xiao Wu's face.
"Just as you thought. However, the God-King opening the Divine Trial Ground is no small matter and needs to be discussed at a meeting of the Divine Realm Council."
Tang San reached out and affectionately pinched Xiao Wu's delicate nose, letting out another soft sigh.
"And what you said is right, how can the position of God King in the God Realm compare to the time spent with family? This afternoon, I will go to the committee to ask for leave."
It's been a long time since the seven of us siblings have had a proper get-together, so this time we're going to have a good time.
"Yay!"
Xiao Wu was so happy that she jumped up, as joyful as a child.
But soon, a look of difficulty appeared on her face.
"But, the fat guy..."
Tang San waved his hand casually, his tone filled with confidence.
"You just go and find other people to come over. I'll personally invite Fatty over; surely he won't refuse his third brother even that much face."
Xiao Wu nodded, a bright smile returning to her face, and skipped briskly towards the outside of the Sea God Temple.
Once Xiao Wu's pink figure had completely disappeared from sight, the gentle smile on Tang San's face vanished instantly.
With a slight movement, he arrived at a secluded room inside the Sea God Temple, a room unknown to anyone but himself.
Compared to the rich, pure ocean air outside, the scene inside the room was even more mystical.
The almost tangible celestial energy condensed into a light mist within the room.
Through the golden trident suspended in mid-air, the liquid continuously condensed and eventually turned into drops of golden liquid, which fell into the huge pool in the center of the room, creating golden ripples.
The surface of the pool reflected an exceptionally dazzling brilliance under the soft lighting in the room.
If any deity were to come to this place, they would be extremely surprised.
The spiritual energy contained in that pool was more than a hundred times richer than that in other parts of the divine realm.
Perhaps only the central hub of the divine realm, the very core of the divine realm, can rival the immense energy contained within it.
