"God of Destruction, what is the meaning of this?"
The Goodness God and the Evil God had also risen, looking at the God of Destruction with displeased expressions.
In the past, although the God of Destruction and the Sea God had constant friction, it was only a matter of arguments. Supervising the operation of the God Realm was one of the duties of the Five God Kings, so the God of Destruction's actions were not excessive.
However, now that he had mentioned the Sea God's daughter, was he trying to threaten him with his family?
The Sea God's voice also became much deeper. "If you are dissatisfied with my actions, you can come at me directly."
Seeing Tang San's expression, the God of Destruction became much calmer. With a slight smile, he looked at the faces of the other four God Kings.
"I think you might not love your daughter as much as you claim."
Hearing the God of Destruction's words, everyone else looked puzzled, while the Sea God's expression changed repeatedly.
"God of Destruction, what is the meaning of this?"
"I am being kind," the God of Destruction said leisurely. "I heard that the Sea God's daughter seems to have fallen ill and is bedridden. Since all five of us God Kings are here, why not bring her out and let us help take a look?"
"I don't believe that in this God Realm, there is anything the few of us cannot resolve." The God of Destruction's voice lingered as he looked at the Sea God opposite him.
The Sea God remained silent.
If it were only his daughter's matter, letting the other God Kings take a look would have been fine. However, the God of Destruction brought it up at this moment, and he did not know how much the God of Destruction knew about the things he had done.
The Goodness God and the Evil God did not possess the power of the original two God Kings and usually had little opinion, but once they doubted his actions, if the power of four God Kings gathered together, he might truly lose his position as the God Realm Enforcer.
"Does the Sea God have some unspoken difficulty?" The God of Life, standing nearby, looked at the Sea God with a hint of concern on her face. "If the Sea God has any reservations, it's not impossible for me to visit his residence."
The God of Life merely thought that the Sea God was concerned about his daughter's discomfort in front of the other God Kings, so she spoke up to reassure him.
The Sea God looked around, seeing everyone's gaze focused on him, and then looked at the God of Destruction with a hint of displeasure.
The God of Destruction did not flinch, returning his gaze with a slight smile.
"Since you all have this intention, I, Tang San, am deeply grateful. However, my daughter is ill, and traveling is inconvenient. So, I would trouble the God of Life and the Goodness God to stay at my humble abode and diagnose her."
"Alright." The Goodness God was already preparing to leave the palace and head toward the Sea God's residence.
On the other side, the God of Life looked back with some worry at the smiling God of Destruction, then followed the Sea God away.
"God of Destruction, what is the meaning of this?"
Only the God of Destruction and the Evil God remained in the octagonal palace, and the Evil God still had not lowered his guard.
The God of Destruction merely glanced sideways at the Evil God. "You'll know soon enough. No matter how eloquent Tang San is, I want to see what he can say in the face of irrefutable evidence."
"Please, both of you."
Meanwhile, the Sea God had brought the Goodness God and the God of Life to his mansion. A young woman emerged from within, her long hair braided into a scorpion-tail style that hung down her back, though a trace of sorrow lingered on her face.
"Third Brother."
"Xiao Wu." The Sea God nodded gently. "I've brought two God Kings to see Xiao Energy."
"Thank you, both God Kings." Xiao Wu bowed slightly.
The God of Life and the Goodness God returned the bow, then entered the mansion and proceeded to the Sea God's daughter's boudoir.
A young woman, bearing a seven-tenths resemblance to the Sea God, lay on the bed. Her eyes were tightly closed, with a faint pinkish-blue light seemingly flowing around her body.
The God of Life immediately saw that there was nothing wrong with the young woman's body. The reason for her prolonged unconsciousness was a deficiency in her Divine Sense.
Who could have harmed the Sea God's daughter's Divine Sense?
The God of Life was slightly startled and looked up at the Sea God.
The Sea God patted Xiao Wu's hand.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu nodded gently, walked out of the room, and closed the door.
With a wave of his sleeve, the Sea God enveloped the entire room in a zhan-blue light.
"This is my fault." The Sea God's eyes drooped slightly. "It's all because I spoiled my daughter. From a young age, I told her many stories about the Douluo Continent. Later, I was careless and let her run down to the Lower Realm."
"However, the God Realm has always forbidden interference with the Lower Realm, and I couldn't bear my daughter's pleas, so I had to seal her memories related to the God Realm, allowing her to gain experience in the Lower Realm."
"The last time that thing related to the Forbidden Land of the Gods on the Douluo Continent suddenly acted up, to protect the God Realm, I could only sever the connection between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent. At that time, it was an emergency, and I didn't have time to recall Xiao Energy's Divine Sense, which is why she ended up in her current state."
As he spoke, tears welled up in the Sea God's eyes.
"I couldn't bear to tell Xiao Wu about this, and I also ask both of you to keep it a secret for now."
With that, the Sea God bowed slightly to the two God Kings.
"There's no need for that, Sea God." The Goodness God hurriedly helped him up. "You acted for the stability of the God Realm."
The Sea God sighed. "Alas, the God of Destruction is right. This matter is ultimately my fault for violating the God Realm's rules first. Therefore, I am willing to hand over the God Realm Central Hub and resign from my position as God Realm Enforcer."
"The Sea God is exaggerating." The Goodness God looked left and right. The Evil God, who was usually by his side, was not present at this moment, leaving him somewhat at a loss. "You protected the God Realm, and your daughter fell into a coma because of it. How can you resign from your position as God Realm Enforcer?"
"This is also my daughter's fate." The Sea God repeatedly declined their suggestions, finally speaking helplessly. "Since both of you say so, I can't refuse any further, but the matter of violating the rules is indeed true."
"As a God Realm Enforcer, I knowingly broke the law, and I cannot simply let it go. How about this: I will temporarily step down from my position as God Realm Enforcer and seclude myself in my mansion for ten years. During this period, the God Realm Central Hub will be entrusted to the Goodness God and the Evil God. How does that sound?"
"This…"
"Take it. The Goodness God and the Evil God already control the God Realm Central Hub."
"Alright then."
The group returned to the round table. The Evil God looked at the Goodness God with a hint of inquiry, but only felt the Goodness God place something in his hand.
The Sea God had already announced his own punishment.
Only the God of Destruction stared wide-eyed at the Sea God, but he was pulled back by the God of Life.
"…Therefore, I have decided to temporarily step down from my position as God Realm Enforcer and will not participate in God King meetings for ten years."
The Sea God spoke, looking at the God of Destruction, but his gaze quickly shifted from him to the boundless sky.
Ten years. No, it wouldn't even take ten years before someone would ask him to come out of seclusion, and by then…
