Chapter 112: No Sign of Yu Xiaogang in the God Realm
The God of Destruction believed that the stagnant atmosphere in the God Realm was simply due to too few gods.
He had long wanted to expand the God Realm, allowing more beings to ascend, as there were many individuals worthy of godhood across the various worlds under the God Realm's jurisdiction.
However, due to a lack of divine positions, these people could only live and die on their respective planets.
To Destruction, this was a terrible waste.
And the one to blame was Tang San!
If Tang San hadn't constantly opposed the expansion of the God Realm, these talented individuals wouldn't have perished.
If they had been allowed to ascend, the God Realm's strength would have continued to flourish.
Gazing at Tang San, Destruction spoke, "Sea God, I completely disagree with your proposal. I've been in the God Realm far longer than you, and I understand one thing very clearly
Every god has their own interests.
This so called Hidden Weapon Assembly Tournament is nothing more than child's play in the eyes of true gods.
You should know by now that the chances of a god having children are extremely low.
If things were different, we could let our children play with these so called hidden weapons.
But since that's not the case, this tournament won't attract any real gods."
Tang San frowned.
"Since you disagree, let's put it to a vote."
He was confident in the voting process.
After all, this tournament wouldn't fundamentally impact the God Realm's structure, meaning that as long as a majority of the Five Divine Kings agreed, it would proceed.
Rejuvenating Tang Sect's glory started today!
After all, Tang Sect's legacy had already faded on Douluo Continent.
If hidden weapons could gain recognition among gods, it would at least give Tang San some emotional satisfaction.
Soon, the five Divine Kings cast their votes.
The result was unexpected
Only Tang San supported the Hidden Weapon Assembly Tournament.
The Second Generation Gods of Good and Evil who had no strong opinions and didn't want to offend either side chose to abstain.
The God of Destruction firmly opposed Tang San's idea.
Meanwhile, the Goddess of Life chose to support her husband, Destruction.
Tang San's expression darkened.
Still, he maintained his composure and refrained from saying, "Destruction, you have sealed your fate!"
But deep down, he was frustrated.
Up until now, the Goddess of Life had always opposed Destruction's expansionist ambitions.
Yet, this time, she stood against him as well.
Perhaps husband and wife were always united in the end.
It seemed useless that Tang Wutong had even acknowledged the Goddess of Life as her 'Green Aunt'.
"Since the vote has been decided, I won't bring it up again."
Tang San rose and left.
The Gods of Good and Evil also departed.
Only Destruction and Life remained.
Destruction spoke first.
"Xiao Lü, Tang San is nothing but a hypocritical God King.
He claims this tournament is for the sake of the God Realm, but it's obvious he's only doing this to satisfy his own ego."
The Goddess of Life sighed.
"Xiao Zi, I think the Sea God's proposal actually had good intentions.
Since ascending to the God Realm, he has always worked tirelessly for the greater good.
He's widely respected among the gods."
Destruction shook his head.
"Xiao Lü, you're being fooled by his fake kindness.
Think about it
A man who refused to bring his own teacher to the God Realm…
How could he possibly be a good person?"
Destruction had some understanding of Yu Xiaogang's past.
For someone of his status, uncovering certain truths about a mortal's history was laughably easy.
Originally, Destruction had little interest in Yu Xiaogang.
However, over the past few months, Tang San had been obsessively watching Douluo Star, almost as if his eyes were glued to it.
This had piqued Destruction's curiosity, leading him to dig into Yu Xiaogang's past.
"Maybe there weren't enough ascension slots…
After all, he's Tang Wutong's father.
I don't think Tang San would have done something so ungrateful."
The Goddess of Life still defended Tang San.
She had a favorable impression of Tang Wutong.
Since she and Destruction had no children, she viewed Wutong with a degree of affection.
As a result, her opinion of Tang San had always been relatively positive.
To her, Tang San was a devoted God King, tirelessly working for the betterment of the God Realm.
Even if he clashed with Destruction, she still respected him.
Destruction smirked.
"What if I told you that Yu Xiaogang wasn't just Tang San's teacher…
But also his adoptive father?"
The Goddess of Life was taken aback.
"Adoptive father?
But… Tang San has never mentioned this."
"I personally confirmed it.
I had my subordinates investigate and ask the other Shrek Seven Devils.
They all said the same thing Yu Xiaogang played a huge role in Tang San's success.
Think about it, Xiao Lü…
A man who refuses to bring his mentor and adoptive father to the God Realm
Can he really be trusted?"
The Goddess of Life sighed.
"Xiao Zi, I must admit…
Tang San was wrong in this.
Had he asked me back then, I could have given up one of my ascension slots for his teacher."
As a God King, she was not a former human but her status was immensely high.
She naturally had the power to bring mortals into the God Realm.
However, out of respect, no god had ever dared ask her for such a favor.
But Tang San was different.
He was both a dual god entity and a Divine Enforcer.
If he had asked, she might have granted his request.
"The truth is simple he just didn't want to."
Destruction shook his head.
"Come, let's go home."
With that, both gods vanished.
Tang San's Frustration
Staring down at Douluo Star, Tang San's expression darkened.
A storm brewed in his mind.
"Destruction is so stubborn…
He already has a God of Ruin who listens to me.
Once I find New Star and help him ascend, I'll have another ally.
If a fight ever breaks out, Destruction's forces will suffer."
"But the problem is…
I still haven't found New Star!
Forget it
Since I can't locate him, I'll move to Plan B.
Looks like Wutong will have to suffer a little…
I'll push her into hardship, force her to grow stronger.
At worst, I won't give her the Butterfly God position
I'll give her something else instead!
Wutong, for the sake of my plan… you'll have to endure this!"
