Chapter 515
Tang 3: No more chapters to say, please take action quickly
Spirit world.
Rong Nianbing's expression grew increasingly serious.
Seeing the God of Destruction's aggressive attitude, he was initially puzzled, but quickly realized what was going on.
They're treating me like a suspect...
Why does it seem like I did something wrong?!
Fortunately, as a socialite renowned throughout the God Realm, Rong Nianbing not only has great influence but also great strength, making her arguably the number one person below the God King.
He did not undergo any major memory restoration procedure.
The other god-kings were relatively polite to him, but the God of Destruction had always been so cold and unapproachable.
But Rong Nianbing knew he was in the wrong.
He and Tang San did indeed have a tacit agreement.
This is a secret that can't be told. I can't very well say in front of these big leaders that I don't want to stay in the God Realm and have been wanting to run away for a long time.
If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of other people who will. (crossed out)
If there's no successor, you'll have to do it even if you don't want to!
Moreover, the divine realm has extremely strict examinations for its deities.
Some things can be done behind the scenes, as long as you're not caught red-handed, most people will turn a blind eye and let it go.
But these unspoken rules can't be discussed openly.
Especially in the presence of this ruthless god of destruction.
Could it be that Destruction wants to use this as an excuse to attack Tang San?
While Rong Nianbing was brainstorming, Ji Dong quickly explained the whole story to Rong Nianbing, the person involved.
"What did you say!?"
Rong Nianbing frowned, utterly astonished. "While I was watching over Douluo Continent for Tang San, the Sea God's throne exploded?"
The Goddess of Life nodded and added, "That's right, which is why we suspect that you might be involved in this matter. After all, Tang San was indeed in seclusion at the time, but you happened to be overseeing Douluo Continent."
What kind of situation is this...?
Rong Nianbing remained silent, feeling as if she had been drawn into a huge mess.
Tang San, was this also part of your plan?
You're willing to destroy the Sea God's throne just to drag me down with you, you bastard...
Isn't this going a bit too far?
Tang San had always controlled the Douluo Continent, not allowing other gods to interfere, which was somewhat against the rules.
However, considering that Douluo Continent was Tang San's birthplace, and given Tang San's status as a God King, the gods did not pursue the matter too much.
However, the position of the sea god has now been destroyed.
Even the God-King cannot easily cover it up.
Not to mention, the God of Destruction is also here, relentlessly attacking a dog that's down on its luck.
The struggle for power has always been like this!
Fortunately, Rong Nianbing had a strong alibi; he happened to be cooking during that time, and his family members could testify to it.
As for the Fire God who recently asked him for a small favor, he and the Water God were both undergoing the succession of their divine positions, so they had no opportunity to commit the crime.
After eliminating these people from suspicion, the expressions of the four god-kings present became even more solemn.
The God of Destruction sneered, his eyes filled with utter contempt:
"Sure enough, I said it was Tang San who did it. That guy didn't even dare to come and face me. He was obviously feeling guilty."
"Even if the King of Gods commits a crime, he should be punished the same as all the other gods!"
Since someone had started a group, Destruction immediately decided to follow suit, leading everyone to the Sea God Temple to expose Tang San's true colors on the spot.
He had long disliked that hypocritical guy.
Unfortunately, everyone was deceived by Tang San's seemingly pure and innocent appearance, making themselves look like the villains.
Although he targeted Tang San every day in the God Realm and couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing, he was a good person.
Moreover, he has great martial ethics; he would fight fair and square and would never think of resorting to underhanded tricks.
This is actually a form of self-confidence.
Having stood at the pinnacle of the divine realm for so long, the God of Destruction was extremely confident in the power of his God-King.
Even without control of the central authority of the divine realm, and having to single-handedly support the divine realm, he is still invincible in the world!
Seeing that Destruction's attitude was so firm, Ji Dong and Lie Yan both gave up their idea of stopping him.
They've done more than enough.
The goddess of life fell silent.
Although Destruction has always been at odds with Tang San, this time is truly different. In order to avoid causing turmoil in the God Realm, Tang San needs to personally step forward and give an explanation.
It wasn't just about the Sea God's position; it was also because she and Destruction had discovered something extremely serious in the central part of the God Realm, and they needed to settle accounts with Tang San.
Rong Nianbing: ?
"Oh? Am I going too?"
This... isn't this a bit like crossing the river and then burning the bridge?
Rong Nianbing still remembers her original purpose: to find a successor to pass on the position of the God of Emotions.
This whole mess has made him very embarrassed.
After all, Rong Nianbing hadn't run away with the bucket yet, and it was unknown whether the title of successor that guy had mentioned before would still count after Tang San was dealt with.
The God of Destruction said matter-of-factly, "You're in the know, so you can't desert your post at such a crucial moment."
The Goddess of Life knew Rong Nianbing's ulterior motives and promptly reassured her, "Don't worry, no god will try to take that promising talent you set your sights on in the Douluo Continent from you."
"alright."
Rong Nianbing knew that the two people in front of him were playing good cop and bad cop, but he had no choice.
We can't possibly send him to rescue Tang San, can we?
Sorry, I can't do that.
Tang San, you'd better pray for your own good fortune.
Rong Nianbing secretly clicked her tongue in displeasure, thinking: "I only had to cook a meal and I ran into this kind of trouble. They really are a handful."
Sigh, there are so many trivial matters in the realm of gods every day.
As expected, we still need to hurry up and run away to pass on the divine position!
Poseidon Temple.
Just then, Tang San finished his heart-to-heart talk with his brothers.
Seeing the group led by the God of Destruction flying menacingly towards him, Tang San felt a pang of guilt, but outwardly maintained a composed demeanor. He preemptively struck, saying:
"You've come after all, destruction."
"Can't I come?"
Destruction glanced sideways at Tang San and sneered.
Seeing this tense scene, the expressions of Dai Mubai and the other two behind Tang San changed simultaneously.
Good heavens, all five great god-kings of the divine realm are present.
During the exchange just now, Tang San also briefly explained the cause and effect of the Sea God's position being shattered, so Dai Mubai and the other two were not completely confused.
At that moment, they felt that the official's power was truly immense.
In fact, the conflict between the God of Destruction and Tang San was almost common knowledge in the God Realm.
In the eyes of the Shrek Seven Devils, it was the God of Destruction, an elder of the God Realm, who was jealous of Tang San, who held control of the central authority of the God Realm, and that was why he was constantly at odds with him.
If Tang San were alone, he would surely be unable to support the army, but Tang San also had brothers and sisters who ascended from the Douluo plane together.
The Shrek Seven Devils are of one mind and work together; many hands make light work. They had long ago made up their minds to wholeheartedly assist Tang San.
In fact, it wasn't that Tang San coveted power or hadn't considered relinquishing control of the God Realm's central authority.
Moreover, Tang San sensed an impending catastrophe that would sweep across the God Realm, which is why he refused the God of Destruction's request to expand the God Realm.
As a result, the Third Brother's concession for the sake of the overall situation has only emboldened the God of Destruction to take advantage of him.
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai and the other two exchanged glances and stepped forward in unison to show their support for Tang San.
However, Destruction didn't take Dai Mubai and the other two seriously at all; his eyes were only on Tang San. He said sternly, "I already know about the Sea God's position. Tang San, what is your punishment?!" Hearing this, Tang San didn't argue. Instead, he sighed and said, "In this matter, I'm clearly the victim, aren't I?"
"Because the Sea God's position was shattered, it caused a backlash from the Asura God's power, which is why I asked Ji Dong to go and explain for me."
As he spoke, Tang San deliberately released his slightly weakened aura.
The existence of the Asura God position prevented him from falling to the God King realm after losing the Sea God position, but his strength was reduced to less than 50%.
While it may seem that losing the greatest advantage of the dual-god unity means that they are no longer able to contend with the God of Destruction in terms of strength, this is actually a strategic retreat.
Tang San believed that with the other three God Kings present, Destruction would not attack him.
This is how he understands his old rival.
Just as Tang San had expected, the God of Destruction frowned upon hearing this, calmed down, and stopped his arrogant arrogance.
Although it felt like Tang San was talking nonsense, for a moment it seemed like there was really nothing wrong with him.
"So why did the Sea God's throne shatter?"
"I don't know." Tang San spread his hands.
"I had already placed the Sea God's position along with the Sea God's Trident on Douluo Continent. At that time, Xiao Wu and I were in seclusion and could not sense what happened before the position shattered."
"If you ask me, it's possible that the inheritance site I set up in Douluo Continent was attacked by an unknown god."
destroy:?
Seeing Tang San's feigned innocence and affected manner, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
"You fart!"
The God of Destruction pointed at Tang San and issued a deafening accusation: "A god who can shatter a first-level godhood is not to be underestimated."
"If it's not Rong Nianbing, and it's not you, then how could there be such a powerful, unfamiliar deity in the Douluo Continent?!"
We've finally gotten to this point.
Tang San pursed his lips, not daring to smile yet. Next, he was about to unleash a fatal blow and deliver a victory speech.
"Don't be afraid of what I'm about to say."
“We are knowledgeable and experienced god-kings, speak now.”
"Actually, it's the Silver Dragon King!"
……! ??
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Those gods who knew the true value of the Silver Dragon King were all astonished.
This, this is impossible!
Even the God of Destruction, who always thought he was the best in the world, was stunned.
The dragon is a symbol of emperors!
Just compare it to the Golden Dragon King who was suppressed by the gods.
As a half-body of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King's strength is definitely not far behind; he possesses top-tier God-King strength!
It wouldn't be surprising if the Silver Dragon King shattered the Sea God's throne.
Before anyone could react, Tang San painfully closed his eyes, his voice filled with guilt and regret:
"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. It is indeed my responsibility. I discovered the Silver Dragon King's whereabouts in Douluo Continent, but instead, I was outmaneuvered by him..."
"I really didn't expect that the Silver Dragon King would openly interfere with the divine assessment, causing the Sea God's position to be shattered. Such a vicious act is simply a provocation against the entire divine realm!"
As for why the Silver Dragon King would take action?
You know everything.
The answer is that they are a race of inherently evil spirit beasts!
Tang San would naturally not take the blame; he couldn't possibly reveal his intention to possess the auspicious beast.
This is a lie that is nine parts truth and one part falsehood.
Seeing Tang San's gloomy expression.
The God of Destruction was starting to understand.
Simply put, Tang San coveted the Silver Dragon King's power, but his schemes backfired, and he ended up suffering a great loss himself.
He was still too young. Tang San had never experienced the Dragon God War and had no idea how terrifying the Dragon God was.
Does this guy think that the Silver Dragon King, who has been a dragon god for half his life, is some naive and innocent person who can be easily manipulated?
That's worse than believing the Dragon God is a clown.
Hahaha, this is absolutely hilarious!
"It seems that this matter needs further consideration."
The God of Destruction knew that Tang San was not lying.
The Silver Dragon King already harbored hatred for the divine realm, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to oppose it and shatter the Sea God's throne.
This incident can only be attributed to Tang San's lack of personal ability. Considering his status as a God King, it will only be a minor punishment as a warning.
However, Tang San is not only a problem.
And most importantly, there's the abuse of power for personal gain.
They've taken so much faith power; they deserve an explanation today!
After exchanging a glance with his wife, the couple understood each other's thoughts.
The God of Destruction conceded on this issue, saying:
"Alright, we will send someone to the Douluo plane to investigate the specific situation, and then punish you accordingly."
Tang San nodded: "In that case, how about letting the God of War lead the way? They're also from Douluo Continent, so they'll know the way well."
Tang San revealed his true intentions directly.
Dai Mubai: Me?
You expect me, a mere second-level god, to investigate the Silver Dragon King?
He's a war god, not a stubborn fool!
Hey, can we still be brothers? When you were talking to us just now, you didn't say that you were going to investigate the God King in Douluo Continent!
For a moment, he regretted his impulsive decision to agree to Tang San's request so easily.
Although Dai Mubai was disappointing, the other God Kings also didn't think highly of him and all expressed their rejection.
Just then, the Goddess of Life spoke up: "How about we leave it to the God of Emotions to investigate?"
"He has the strength to do so, and given his position, he won't deliberately show favoritism or be unfair, guaranteeing to clear your name."
The gods all nodded in agreement.
Rong Nianbing: ...
Am I going to die too?
Children, do you think I can still find a successor?
I hope I don't get kicked to death by the Silver Dragon King, who might mistake me for a stray dog on the street.
Subsequently, the Goddess of Life instructed Rong Nianbing to take Dai Mubai and the other two away.
Now only five god-kings remain.
Seeing that the God of Destruction was still staring at him with a gloomy expression, Tang San, who had been calm and collected, suddenly had a bad feeling.
"There's one more thing."
Once the unrelated personnel had left, Destruction didn't hesitate to challenge, "Tang San, you wouldn't also want to blame the Silver Dragon King for the loss of faith power in the central divine realm, would you?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San broke out in a cold sweat.
Damn, when did Destruction become so sharp?
Tang San did have the idea of having the Silver Dragon King settle the score, but before he could put it into practice, Douluo Continent was hit with another bombshell.
It seems that the shattering of the Sea God's position led to a warning from the central authority of the divine realm, allowing them to realize the loss of faith power.
That's bad, I feel like I'm going to end up in jail.
However, Tang San felt that he could still be saved.
"Is it possible that the power of faith is actually limited to a certain amount? Think more about the problems in the central authority of the divine realm. Over the years, have they made any efforts to extract the power of faith from other planes...?"
"hehe--"
The God of Destruction sneered and said in a deep voice:
"As an enforcer of the divine realm, you have embezzled public funds, causing a significant loss of faith power from the central divine realm. Tang San, do you have anything to say about this?"
"If you have nothing more to say, please take action immediately."
So Tang San closed his eyes.
Seeing this, the other three God-Kings suddenly thought: These two are truly a pair of star-crossed lovers! (End of Chapter)
