Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Chapter 612: We Are Enemies
Seeing Wang Dong's emotions gradually calm down, the Goddess of Life felt that it was time to face the core issue again. She stopped avoiding the topic and took the initiative to bring up the topic of "captivity", but gave a completely different explanation.

"Regarding your 'imprisonment,'" the Goddess of Life said in a gentle yet undeniable voice, "I personally believe it should be considered a form of 'protection.'"

She looked at Wang Dong's puzzled expression and began to calmly analyze the situation. "After all, your father did something like that. Although it didn't directly affect all the gods, the consequences could be unpredictable."

Then, she changed the subject and pointed out a question that Wang Dong might never have thought about: "You think of yourself as a child, but the gods may not think so."

At the beginning, Tang Xiaoqi relied on the fact that her father was the King of Gods. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she played some serious pranks on the gods, which must have caused dissatisfaction among the gods.

After all, which deity doesn't have a bit of arrogance? Leaving aside those born as gods, those who rose from mortals through arduous cultivation were almost all among the best in their respective planes, their pride ingrained in their very bones. When Tang San was in power, they might have tolerated it out of respect for his authority. Now that Tang San has lost power and Xiao Wu has perished… wouldn't those deities who were once mocked and slighted by Tang Xiaoqi harbor resentment? Wouldn't they want to find an opportunity to seek justice?

Ji Dong is the best example, but to be fair, he just said a few harsh words to Wang Dong, but he made her break down and cry, which shows how poor his psychological quality is.

"Letting you stay here is not only to allow you to recuperate, but also to isolate you from potential hostility from the outside world." The Goddess of Life looked at her calmly. Before the situation in the divine world became clear and the gods' emotions remained calm, this bedroom was actually the place that could best ensure her safety.

Wang Dong listened in a daze, vaguely beginning to realize that his current situation was far more complicated than simply being locked up. It even involved the guilt of his father, the potential hostility of the gods, and the delicate balance of power in the divine world.

Seeing that she seemed to have listened to some of what she said, the Goddess of Life turned the topic back to her previous accusation that Di Tian had "evil intentions".

"As for what you said about Di Tian plotting against the stars..." The Goddess of Life paused, looking at Wang Dong subtly, "Should I say it or not, you and Tang San are indeed father and daughter, right? You both said the same thing."

This analogy made Wang Dong freeze. But the Goddess of Life's next words were a fatal blow.

"But in my opinion and that of Miehuo, your father is a much greater suspect than the Dragon King." Her voice was slightly cold. "At least Emperor Tian never intended to kill her. On the contrary, for over four thousand years, it was your father who had your uncle repeatedly issue divine oracles to hunt her down, while Emperor Tian protected her from the very beginning."

"Who is plotting this?" The goddess of life was still smiling, but her eyes were as sharp as a torch.

Wang Dong couldn't help but argue subconsciously: "But...but he is greedy for her body! He..." She was embarrassed to say the rest of the words. After all, her family taught her that girls should be reserved since she was a child, and it was difficult for her to say such words.

Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Life couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if she had heard some childish excuse. She refrained from asking her, "Aren't you tempted?" Don't be so hypocritical!

But when you think about whose daughter this is, everything makes sense. After all, double standards have always been synonymous with the Tang family.

But the goddess of life did not point this out, but just looked at Wang Dong meaningfully, making her gradually feel ashamed in the pale and powerless argument and her all-seeing eyes.

Wang Dong continued to mutter like an unconvinced child: "He doesn't really love her, he just wants to..." But she herself couldn't explain why Di Tian did this, so she could only get stuck there.

"So what? Xing doesn't rely on others' love to survive." The Goddess of Life no longer treated Wang Dong like a child, but she still maintained her patience. "I saw it through the God Realm Center. Even her teacher from another world commented on Di Tian, ​​saying, 'Don't love too much.'"

Then, the Goddess of Life asked Wang Dong a soul-searching question: "What about you? Xiaoqi, what have you done for Xing? Besides this love that you can easily withdraw at any time, what can you give her?"

"Is she good to me?" the Goddess of Life pressed on. "Apart from you, can't anyone else do this? Does she absolutely need you?"

Watching Wang Dong, speechless and pale under the questioning, the Goddess of Life felt no joy, only a sense of peace at peace. There were some truths she wouldn't tell Wang Dong in full, like Di Tian's initial remarks, which not only secured Mu Xing's permission to assassinate Wang Dong but also deeply convinced her as a mother.

That statement wasn't so much an evaluation as it was a value assessment based on absolute rationality. It completely (though not completely) discarded personal feelings and preferences, proceeding solely from the supreme criterion of "whether it was beneficial to Mu Xing" and reaching a negative conclusion.

This conclusion coincided with the Goddess of Life's expectations for her child's future partner as a mother. She might not have the same extreme utilitarian perspective as Di Tian, ​​but she also hoped that Mu Xing would be accompanied by someone who could help her move forward, rather than hinder her or even cause her trouble.

In short, Tang San's family had a grudge against theirs. This feud was deep and complex, involving the power of the divine realm, conflicting ideologies, and past grievances. Like the God of Destruction, she held a firm stance on this matter, regardless of gender. However, they would never allow Mu Xing to be with the child of their enemy; this was an absolute bottom line based on family positions and historical entanglements!
Furthermore, in the eyes of the Goddess of Life, where did the Tang family's view of love even begin to function normally? Her observations of Tang San and his circle led her to a negative conclusion: neither Tang San nor his cronies truly viewed their partners as fully equals. Their relationships were always tinged with protection, dependency, and some degree of "objectification," even if it might be disguised as love.

Growing up in this environment, how could Tang Xiaoqi ever become anything better? The Goddess of Life couldn't help but agree with the God of Destruction. She believed that Wang Dong's so-called feelings for Mu Xing were likely a distorted, possessive, and controlling inheritance, and the facts proved this to be true.

"No matter what destruction promised you, I will not allow it." The goddess of life cast her gaze towards the underworld. During the time they were talking, a new god was born.
