Chapter 409: All the God Kings Gather
The moon set, the sun rose—another day had begun.
Kong opened his eyes from bed. After dressing and a quick wash, he prepared to head to the Divine Realm to discuss matters with the five great God Kings.
Although with the power of wife Ei, he could directly tear through the entire Divine Realm and forcibly alter its rules, doing so would mean all order and management would fall entirely upon him.
With so much to handle, the mental burden would be unimaginable. In that case, wouldn't it be better to just remain a carefree and content God King, going wherever he pleased?
Within the Divine Realm Committee, the five God Kings once again gathered.
This time, the purpose of the meeting was to address the first trace of darkness in the universe.
"Everyone, put forth a plan."
The God of Asura looked at the other four and took the lead in speaking. "My inheritance ground has already fallen. If we allow that thing to keep devouring unchecked, it won't be long before the entire Douluo Planet is doomed."
"The fall of Douluo Planet is a small matter."
Hearing Asura God's concerns, the God of Destruction narrowed his eyes. His tone grew heavier as he said, "If it devours enough power, recovers from its injuries, and reaches its peak state, then forget about just one insignificant Douluo Planet—even the entire Divine Realm and universe will be finished."
"Then what should we do?"
The Goddess of Life, her gentle and stunning face filled with worry, spoke softly: "The events of the past in the Divine Realm are still vivid in memory. If not for the Dragon God and the Nine Dragon Kings under him seriously wounding it and suppressing it with the Divine Realm Core's power, we would never have been its match."
"That's right."
The Goddess of Kindness nodded in agreement with the Goddess of Life and gave her own opinion. "If it truly returns to peak condition, the universe will be plunged into devastation."
"The problem is, how do we respond?"
Listening to the others, the Evil God King felt his head ache and reminded them: "Don't forget, it's still on Douluo Planet. Thunder God King and his wives are also there. Unless that thing comes to the Divine Realm itself and starts a war here, it's useless even if we blow up Douluo Planet—it can just go to another world to recover."
At these words, the others sighed, helpless expressions on their faces. It was a deadlock.
Their current strength was far below what it had been during the Dragon God's era, and even under the Dragon God's leadership, they hadn't been able to kill that being.
The lower realm was fragile. If the God Kings descended and fought without restraint, they might fail to kill the target and instead destroy the entire planet. Thus, only two options remained: first, all six God Kings act together, disregard the lives of the lower realm, and pursue it wherever it fled until it was killed. The second—wait for it to recover its cultivation and come to the Divine Realm, then fight it at full power.
But that second option carried a high risk of defeat, since no one knew just how powerful it was at its peak.
Even in its previous heavily injured state, it had nearly overturned the Divine Realm…
Just then, the five God Kings snapped out of their thoughts and simultaneously looked toward the outside.
"Why is he here?"
Seeing the man walking toward them, the God Kings were confused. Could something have happened?
Though not deeply acquainted with this newly ascended Thunder God King, they knew he wouldn't have come to the Divine Realm so soon unless something serious had occurred.
"Greetings, everyone."
Under their gazes, Kong stepped into the Divine Realm Committee, looked at the group, and said with a smile, "Did something happen? Why are you all meeting here again?"
Every time the five God Kings gathered, it meant something significant was underway. But as far as Kong knew, there was no current major event. So what exactly were they discussing?
Hearing this, the God of Asura did not conceal anything and began explaining what had happened in the Slaughter City.
"Devoured countless fallen ones?"
After listening to the explanation, Kong frowned slightly, paused in thought, and asked, "What about the Slaughter City? Has it been destroyed?"
The existence of Slaughter City was extremely important. Everyone who entered was essentially beyond redemption—and unable to leave.
"Not yet."
The Asura God shook his head and said calmly, "That place doesn't hold much use anymore. After all, the foundation of Slaughter City's existence is what you in the lower realm call 'Bloody Mary.'"
"As long as the place is still intact, the rest doesn't matter," Kong let out a sigh of relief, his entire demeanor relaxing.
If such a good prison had been destroyed, it would've been a real shame. As things stood now, he hadn't found another like it.
As for the lives of those inside, he didn't care. If they died, so be it—even if every one of them perished, it didn't matter. Aside from a few geniuses who entered for the Slaughter God Domain, who else wasn't a complete degenerate with nowhere left to go?
"In that case, do you all have any current plans?" Kong found a seat and sat down, not immediately revealing the reason for his visit.
"None."
The Evil God King, seated at the head, shook his head and said helplessly, "Unless it comes to the Divine Realm itself and we've already set up an array in advance, it'll be very difficult to kill it."
"Kill it?"
At this, Kong narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Do you really believe you can truly kill it?"
"What do you mean?" The gods showed puzzled expressions, clearly not understanding.
Why would the Thunder God King say such a thing?
"It is the first trace of darkness in the universe—the source of all darkness. If it truly dies, then do you think this universe can still exist?"
Kong shook his head and explained softly, "A being like that can only be sealed. If it's completely destroyed, a universe without darkness will soon collapse. And at that time, an even more powerful form of darkness will appear—one so strong none of us can stop it."
Wife Ei is indeed powerful, but the most critical reason is that this universe is too weak. Even the darkness it spawns poses little threat to Ei and Shogun. But if we keep destroying like this, one day, a dark anomaly stronger than all living beings will arise.
When that day comes, none of them will escape being devoured. (End of Chapter)
