The God of Destruction stepped forward.
Carefully, he held her slightly cool hand.
His fingertips gently caressed the back of her hand, his movents so tender they hardly seed real.
His voice belonged to her alone, stripped of all coldness and majesty, leaving only softness:
"Xiao Liu, what happened? I sensed your origin trembling violently."
"Did soone hurt you? Tell , and I'll crush them."
His tone carried undisguised, overwhelming killing intent.
Within this God Realm, the number of beings capable of harming the Goddess of Life could be counted on one hand.
But no matter who it was, if they dared hurt his Xiao Liu—
Even if he had to overturn the entire God Realm, he would make them pay in blood.
Within the Goddess of Life's clear erald eyes surged shock that could not be dissolved.
There was also that increasingly clear, almost maternal quickening.
She held the God of Destruction's hand in return, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Tears slid uncontrollably down her cheeks.
As they fell onto the grass beneath her feet, every single drop blood into a flourishing flower of life.
Her voice carried indescribable excitent and bewildernt.
"Xiao Zi, I felt it… In the lower realm, there is a Seed of Life stirring."
The mont those words fell—
The God of Destruction's crimson eyes abruptly constricted.
"!!"
The killing intent around him instantly spiraled out of control, erupting like a tidal wave!
Even the sturdy space of the God Realm itself was torn apart by this terrifying killing intent, splitting into countless fine black cracks.
The Goddess of Life was the embodint of the universe's Law of Life.
Her true form was this Ancient Tree of Life.
Only after her death would her origin condense into a Seed of Life and grow anew.
Aside from her, it was absolutely impossible for a second Seed of Life sharing the sa origin to exist in this world!
His first reaction was that soone was plotting against Xiao Liu.
Soone was stealing her life origin, attempting to condense a second Seed of Life to replace her!
"Who is it?!"
The God of Destruction's voice was icy to the bone, carrying fury capable of destroying heaven and earth.
"Who dares steal your life origin?!"
"I'll descend to the lower realm right now, drag them out, and grind them to ashes until both body and soul are destroyed!"
The aura of destruction around him beca even more violent.
The space behind him had already begun collapsing on a massive scale.
Behind him, nine purple-black God King rings of light slowly rose.
They radiated supre pressure so overwhelming that the entire God Realm nearly suffocated beneath it.
Seeing this, the Goddess of Life quickly pressed down on his hand.
Standing on tiptoe, she pressed her forehead against his.
Her warm life origin slowly flowed into his body.
Bit by bit, it soothed the surging destructive power within him.
The collapsing space around them also gradually repaired itself beneath the nourishnt of life energy.
The flowers and grass, annihilated by the aura of destruction, took root once more and blood anew.
She looked at the God of Destruction, her eyes filled with reassurance.
Her tremblingly soft voice carried gentle comfort.
"Xiao Liu, don't get agitated. It's not what you think."
"It didn't steal my origin."
"Its origin shares the sa source as mine, but it does not belong to ."
Her voice grew softer and softer, carrying indescribable tenderness.
"It's very weak, very immature, like an infant slowly awakening."
"I can feel its heartbeat, its breathing, its joy, its unease."
"It feels… It feels like my child."
"Child…"
That single word directly pierced the deepest wound they had carried throughout the countless hundreds of millions of years they had spent together.
The God of Destruction's gaze flickered uncertainly.
They were the two great origin laws split apart when the Creator God fell, mutually generating and restraining each other.
Recognized throughout the God Realm as the most compatible couple, they had accompanied and loved each other for countless hundreds of millions of years.
Yet they were forever restricted by the origin of their godhoods, unable to have descendants of their own.
The Law of Destruction and the Law of Life were both the most ultimate and core origin laws in the universe.
Two utterly opposing laws simply could not fuse to give birth to offspring.
If they attempted to conceive a child—
Either the child would be completely annihilated by the violent, destructive power or be directly burst apart by the boundless power of life.
There was not even the slightest chance of survival.
Throughout countless hundreds of millions of years, it was not as though they had never tried.
There had once been a ti when the Goddess of Life truly beca pregnant with their child.
But before even a thousand years had passed, the child's divine soul was completely torn apart by the conflict between the two ultimate laws.
That ti, the Goddess of Life cried beneath the Ancient Tree of Life for a very, very long ti.
The God of Destruction also locked himself within the Destruction Castle and entered seclusion for an entire hundred thousand years.
From then on, he never dared ntion having children again.
He buried that guilt carved deep into his bones at the bottom of his heart.
He did not even dare bring it up, afraid of hurting his wife and afraid of hurting himself as well.
This was the regret hidden deep within their hearts, sothing neither was willing to touch lightly.
For countless hundreds of millions of years, they watched the other gods of the God Realm—
Even re second-class gods could have descendants of their own and enjoy familial happiness.
But they never could.
More than once, the Goddess of Life had watched other gods playing with their children.
The envy in her eyes could not be concealed.
In an instant, all killing intent in the God of Destruction's eyes dissipated.
The mont he saw his wife's reddened eyes—
The God of Destruction made his decision.
He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears sliding from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips.
His movents were so gentle, as though he feared damaging the world's most precious treasure.
Opening his arms, he softly embraced his wife.
His hand lightly patted her back, as though comforting a child who had suffered grievances.
His chin rested atop her head as he inhaled the faint fragrance of grass and trees lingering in her hair.
His voice carried unprecedented tenderness and resolve:
"Xiao Liu, don't worry."
"No matter what this Seed of Life is, no matter where it ca from—"
"As long as it's sothing you want, I'll help you protect it."
"I'll head to the God Realm Center right now."
"I want to see exactly what kind of existence this Seed of Life is."
Leaning against his embrace, much of the unease surging within the Goddess of Life dissipated.
Yet a trace of lingering worry remained within her beautiful eyes.
"But the God Realm has iron laws. Gods are not allowed to interfere with lower realm affairs at will."
"If we rashly investigate, the other Law Enforcent Gods may criticize us, and it could even trigger the punishnt laws left behind by the Creator God."
Before she could finish speaking, the God of Destruction interrupted her with a cold sneer.
The God King pressure, belonging to one of the Five Great Law Enforcent Gods, instantly swept out from him like a heaven-covering tsunami.
Even the entire Forest of Life trembled slightly because of it.
His crimson eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain, carrying the overbearing majesty of one who governed life and death.
"Rules?"
"When the Rakshasa God secretly passed down her divine position on Douluo Star, why did no one ntion the rules?"
"When the Sea God interfered in Douluo Star's affairs, why did nobody ntion rules?"
"Even the Asura God dares secretly tamper with his own inheritance."
"Do they really think I, a Law Enforcent God, am blind?"
His hand gently brushed through his wife's hair.
The God of Destruction's tone softened again, yet it remained unwaveringly determined.
"In the past, I couldn't be bothered arguing with them. I just turned a blind eye and let it pass."
"But this ti is different."
"For your sake, Xiao Liu, forget breaking a single rule; even if I must beco the enemy of the entire God Realm, I won't hesitate."
"Whoever dares stop , I'll destroy them!"
