Tang San looked at the four God Kings opposing him, thinking that if his plan hadn't gone wrong, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
According to his original strategy, once the ti was right, his parents would take control of the two most crucial aspects of Douluo Star. This wouldn't just lay the groundwork for his grand millennia long plan, but also centralize power to govern Douluo Star effectively.
With the rapid advancent of soul tool technology, Tang San knew that the planet's resources would eventually be exhausted.
To Tang San, both soul beasts and minerals were considered resources.
A thousand years ago, human soul masters hunted soul beasts at a relatively slow rate, maintaining a fragile balance.
But after the collision of the Sun Moon Continent with Douluo, soul tools once in decline were propelled to unprecedented heights, drastically accelerating the extinction of soul beasts.
With soul tools enhancing the combat power of even food type soul masters, the situation had changed completely.
Given enough ti, soul tools would continue evolving, while soul beasts whose cultivation progressed too slowly were bound to be utterly defeated.
And if soul beasts were completely wiped out, how would future generations of the Tang family even be able to undergo training on Douluo Continent?
To Tang San, all descendants of the Tang family had to experience training on Douluo, enter Shrek Academy, and join the Tang Sect.
Skipping this process would hinder their developnt.
Ultimately, it was all the fault of soul tools! If Tang Sect's hidden weapons had remained dominant, none of this would have been an issue!
A trace of helplessness appeared on Tang San's face as he spoke:
"God of Destruction, I admit that my parents and I have violated the rules of the God Realm.
"However, the punishnt you are proposing for my parents is far too severe.
"As their son, it is my duty to bear their burdens.
"I am willing to take full responsibility for their actions."
Tang San was unwilling to see his parents suffer such severe punishnt.
When he first arrived at the Clear Sky Clan, he had publicly vowed to atone for his father's past cris.
Of course, that was just a temporary asure.
Once his strength had grown enough, morality would be whatever he decided it to be.
Now, admitting fault was rely a ans to an end if he could win the sympathy of the other three God Kings besides Destruction, he might be able to lessen his parents' punishnt.
Back in the Clear Sky Clan, he had earned Tang Xiao's sympathy this way.
Now, in the God Realm, he was preparing to use the sa trick.
However, in Tang San's mind, the God of Destruction was simply digging his own grave by pushing so aggressively.
Once Tang San beca strong enough, he would make sure to deal with him.
The God of Destruction was montarily surprised by Tang San's words.
anwhile, the expressions of the Goddess of Life, the Second Kindness God, and the Second Evil God softened slightly.
To the three of them, although Tang San had made mistakes, the fact that he was willing to take responsibility for his parents' actions was sowhat admirable.
Sensing the shifting mood, the God of Destruction imdiately realized the danger.
He knew that his wife, the Goddess of Life, had a kind and soft heart she often helped other gods.
And Ji Dong and Lie Yan, as newly ascended God Kings, had a generally positive impression of Tang San.
If they began to sympathize with him, the situation could spiral unpredictably.
The God of Destruction knew he needed to take control before things got out of hand.
"Tang San, as their son, your willingness to take responsibility is comndable," he said.
"But as a God King, you cannot simply be imprisoned like your parents.
"Therefore, I suggest that you relinquish your god position and pass it on as a substitute for your parents' punishnt."
Tang San froze, feeling the urge to curse.
Forcing him to pass on his god position?
Wouldn't that severely weaken his current strength?
If that happened, how would he ever make the God of Destruction pay for this humiliation in the future?
The God of Destruction raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong? Are you unwilling?"
Tang San spoke righteously:
"Destruction, it's not that I am unwilling to pass on my god position.
"But my premonition tells that the God Realm will face disaster.
"I must preserve my strength as much as possible.
"If calamity cos, I will fulfill my duty and fight for the God Realm.
"As a God King, this is my responsibility."
"Tang San, you keep bringing up your premonitions.
"But none of them have ever co true," the God of Destruction scoffed.
"Regarding your parents, I am willing to make a concession they will remain in the God Realm and be forbidden from descending to the mortal world.
"We can negotiate the specifics.
"However, you must surrender the divine core of the God Realm.
"If you continue resisting the decision of the God Realm Committee, the four of us have the right to take action against you."
The God of Destruction knew he couldn't push Tang San too hard.
If he wanted to secure the divine core, he had to offer sothing in return.
After all, Tang San controlled the divine core if he decided to burn through the God Realm's willpower and activate its defenses, even the God of Destruction would have no way to breach them.
Seeing that the other three God Kings agreed, Tang San's expression turned grim.
Taking a deep breath, he ultimately decided that his parents were more important after all, they had given him life.
He took out the divine core and placed it on the table.
"Because of the nature of his god position, the God of Destruction has always been extre in his actions.
"Even if I surrender the divine core, he should not be its sole controller.
"I suggest that all five of us share its control."
"Tang San, you've already abused the divine core for personal gain.
"How can you still expect to have control over it?"
The God of Destruction shook his head.
"I, along with the other three God Kings, will oversee the divine core.
"As for you, it's ti for you to let go of this burden."
Douluo Continent
A joyful voice echoed from the golden light within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea:
"Huo Yuhao, I feel so much better now!
"Tang Hao has finally been taken away by the God of Destruction.
"At last, I am free from his interference.
"And since the God of Destruction also took Ah Yin, the Golden Tree will no longer be under her control."
"This is only temporary," Huo Yuhao replied.
He knew that the God of Destruction and Tang San were on bad terms.
So, Destruction would definitely use this incident to launch a full scale attack on Tang San in the God Realm Committee and secure his own gains.
But according to divine law, Tang Hao and Ah Yin hadn't committed high treason against the God Realm.
At most, they would be imprisoned for a while.
The God of Destruction couldn't break the rules and have them executed.
Even in the Divine Realm Legend, when Tang San's faction clashed with the God of Destruction's faction, no gods on opposing sides were killed.
Cultivating a god was no easy feat.
While fallen gods could have their divine positions reconstructed and passed on to successors, newly ascended gods were inherently weaker than veteran gods.
The Plane's consciousness sighed.
"You're right this is only temporary.
"For all we know, one day Tang Hao and Ah Yin will return with Tang San's help.
"And when that happens, I'll be under their control once again.
"God Kings are simply too powerful I have no way to resist them."
Well, if the issue is God Kings, the solution is simple…
I just have to beco one myself.
Huo Yuhao smirked inwardly.
In the God Realm, only a God King could contend with another God King.
And while all God Kings were powerful, so were undoubtedly stronger than others.
