The Golden Dragon King's Divine Core. In his final moments, realizing that death was inevitable, the Golden Dragon King used the cover of this final, massive collision to send his divine core away.

If the Golden Dragon King hadn't lost his power and bloodline source, his entire body and soul wouldn't have been completely obliterated by the final sword of creation, leaving not a trace. This attack undoubtedly reached the level of a supreme god-king, but even within this level, there are varying degrees of strength. If the five first-generation god-kings, with their superior artifacts, had unleashed this attack, the resulting power might have been comparable to that of the Dragon God at his peak. However, An Zhen, Lie Yan, and Ji Dong, who ultimately delivered this attack, were still considerably weaker than the three old Asuras who possessed god-king positions and superior artifacts at their peak.

'Golden Dragon King Divine Core...'

Anzhen had long coveted this treasure.

It's not that he wants to become a little golden dragon; he no longer needs such power as an embellishment. However, as one of the key items for synthesizing the Dragon God's position, it's best to keep it in his own hands.

However, now is not the time to take this treasure.

An Zhen glanced at the many god-kings.

No rush. Although the Golden Dragon King briefly tore apart the spatial barrier here by using the huge impact of the final collision, it certainly couldn't send it very far. Let's deal with the current situation first, and then, after reflecting on the Golden Dragon King, he will be able to search at his leisure.

The gods looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although the situation has improved considerably since the Golden Dragon King was killed, things are still quite complicated—An Zhen, who killed the Asura God Tang San and seized the Asura God's position, and the God of Destruction, who has now forcibly taken control of the God Realm's central hub.

"Now," the God of Kindness broke the silence, speaking softly, "let's deal with the aftermath of the Golden Dragon King's matter first. For example, let's repair this area of ​​the divine realm that has suffered tremendous damage."

“And the most important truth,” Anzhen said.

"We've caused such a huge mess, we have to give an explanation no matter what!"

“That’s right.” The God of Destruction glanced coldly at Old Asura and Good and Evil, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone, “We must find out which heartless, depraved bastard released the Golden Dragon King, and whether any of the related individuals should bear some responsibility for this matter.”

The God of Destruction's words were pointed, almost an undisguised attempt to force the emperor to abdicate.

Now that the three original God-Kings, Shura, Good, and Evil, have returned, they have directly disrupted the God of Destruction's plans. Although the original plan cannot be realized, this does not mean his failure. Because Shura God Tang San released the Golden Dragon King, he temporarily took control of the God Realm's central hub under the pretext of the emergency. Although his control was not perfect, it would not be so easy for Shura, Good, and Evil to regain control of the God Realm's central hub if he did not wish to.

The situation seemed more critical, but in some ways, it was better. Because if he had followed his original plan and launched a coup, he would have placed himself in a position of illegitimacy, and even if the good and evil forces of Shura condemned him, they couldn't say anything. But now, Shura God Tang San had committed a colossal error, helping the Golden Dragon King break the seal—a crime tantamount to betraying the God Realm. And Shura God Tang San was the successor of Shura, the designated leader of the God Realm by good and evil.

The person you chose made such a big mistake, and it was only thanks to his timely remedial action that the consequences were not more serious.

There was now a legitimate reason.

Furthermore, he possesses both the qualifications and the capabilities.

"Ahem." The God of Evil tried to ease the atmosphere. "Investigate. This matter definitely needs to be investigated."

“However…” The God of Evil’s gaze fell upon the space before him, which had long since been shattered into nothingness. “The Forbidden Land of Gods has been destroyed to this extent; if we were to reverse time, it would probably take quite some time.”

We need to repair this area first and stabilize the spacetime here before we can talk about anything else.

"Before that." The old Asura's gaze swept over, glancing at Asura God Anzhen, before settling on the God of Destruction and Anzhen. Although he had been severely injured by the Golden Dragon King's counterattack when he held him back earlier, his aura was still not weak.

"You performed well earlier," he said to An Zhen. "With a guarantee of life and destruction, you can hold the position of the Asura God for now. After the matter is investigated, if Tang San is indeed the murderer who helped the Golden Dragon King break the seal, no matter what his reasons are, he deserves to be killed by you. The position of the Asura God and the Asura Demon Sword should rightfully be in your hands."

“But…” Old Asura looked at the God of Destruction, and suddenly changed the subject, “Destruction, the control of the central authority of the God Realm is of great importance. As the de facto ‘jade seal’ of the God Realm, the will of the person who controls it is related to the future direction of the entire God Realm.”

"What do you want to say?" the God of Destruction said coldly. "Do you want me to hand it over?"

"Yes."

"Asura!" A dazzling purple divine light flashed in the eyes of the God of Destruction. Terrifying destructive intent transformed into streaks of purple destructive divine lightning that surged around the God of Destruction. It was an almost visible dissatisfaction and rage. The immense pressure, which was completely undisguised, swept over the old Asura. "I haven't settled accounts with you yet regarding Tang San!"

"If I hadn't noticed in time and stopped him at the crucial moment, the even more serious situation of the Golden Dragon King escaping the God Realm would have already occurred, and you know how terrible the consequences would have been!"

"What? If Tang San can do it, why can't I!"

The God of Destruction is very angry.

This is blatant prejudice!

He had been holding this grudge ever since Tang San, the Asura God, was appointed as the leader of the God Realm.

He had no objection to the first Asura ruling the God Realm. He also had no objection to good and evil ruling the God Realm. In terms of seniority and ability, all three were superior to him. But what right did Tang San have?! For hundreds of thousands of years, he had worked diligently and conscientiously in his position, never making the slightest mistake. Didn't this prove that his destructive intent wouldn't affect his leadership of the God Realm?!

But what about them? They're prejudiced against him simply because of his destructive intent! All his efforts over the years are less than what an ordinary person can achieve in a few years!

The boundless destructive intent transformed into a purple-black sea of ​​clouds that enveloped the space. Rolling dark clouds and roaring divine thunder proclaimed the wrath of the God of Destruction, illuminating the world in purple.

"Shura." The God of Evil placed a hand on Old Shura's shoulder, using his divine power to stabilize his injuries and block the oppressive aura emanating from the God of Destruction, while signaling him to stop talking about this topic for now.

"No." The God of Asura was unwilling to budge an inch on this matter. "This matter is of utmost importance." For a moment, after a great battle and the successful defeat of the Golden Dragon King, there was little joy that should have come with victory. Instead, there was an atmosphere of tension and impending conflict.

Beside her, watching the good and evil forces pulling and trying to break up the fight, a hint of relief flashed in Lieyan Ji's complex eyes. Although the current situation seemed the same as before, with the one arguing with the God of Destruction changing from the Asura God Tang San to the First Asura God, at least they no longer had to intervene in the conflict.

However... a hint of worry flashed in their eyes.

Even if the first generation of the two god-kings, one good and one evil, wanted to run away, they would probably resolve this matter first, right?

No, we must discuss stepping down later.

As long as we also run away, this matter will definitely not fall on us again.

"Asura!" The veins on the God of Destruction's arm bulged, and his expression was even darker than the weather. "Tell me, why is this happening!"

"A destructive will make you too paranoid," said the God of Asura. "This will lead the entire divine realm to utter ruin."

“I think this makes perfect sense.” A voice suddenly rang out from An Zhen’s mouth. The gods looked on in surprise, not understanding why An Zhen, a disciple of the God of Destruction, would say such a thing. An Zhen stared coldly at Shura, “However, after personally experiencing the power of the God of Shura, I realized that if one cannot perfectly control the Shura’s will, any mistakes in daily life can easily be affected by its madness, turning one into a monster who only knows how to kill!”

“Since the first generation Asura believes that dangerous power will bring very dangerous things,” wisps of blood-red sword intent appeared around An Zhen, the cold and terrifying pressure seeming to drag this world into a blood-red hell of mountains of corpses and seas of corpses, “I propose that we kill the first generation Asura God on the spot now, to prevent him from losing his powerful strength in the future and becoming a monster who only knows how to kill, causing irreparable bloodshed to the Douluo God Realm and even the entire universe.”

"To show my sincerity, I am willing to abolish the position of the Asura God, which may bring disaster."

"..."

The air suddenly became still.

Those questioning gazes suddenly turned into incredulous astonishment.

Killed the first Asura God?!
"This method..." The God of Destruction pondered seriously, "can indeed greatly prevent such extremely dangerous things from happening."

A divine power link connected the God of Destruction to An Zhen. Relying on his control over the central hub of the divine realm, the God of Destruction continuously channeled celestial energy into his and An Zhen's bodies, which then rapidly transformed into divine power to restore their previous energy reserves.

"I think this suggestion is perfect."

Gods: ?
The Destruction Scepter and the Asura Demon Sword pointed at the Asura God.

"Get out of the way!" the God of Destruction roared at the God of Evil.

"Let me eliminate this guy who could pose a huge threat to the realm of gods!"

"Wait!" Seeing the terrifying power gathering within the Scepter of Destruction, the two first-generation God-Kings, one good and one evil, disregarded whether the God of Destruction was faking it or not. They were worried he might actually use his power out of dissatisfaction, and quickly stopped him from either side. "Destruction, calm down! Asura, stop talking! Life, stop your disciple!"

Both good and evil suddenly felt overwhelmed.

If a fight were to break out at this moment, it could truly escalate into a massive upheaval that would affect the entire divine realm. After all, everyone had expended considerable energy fighting the Golden Dragon King, and many of them were still injured, especially the Asura who was severely wounded by the Golden Dragon King. However, the God of Destruction, who controls the central power of the divine realm, could recover quickly from this injury, and it was impossible for him to become exhausted before the power of the central power of the divine realm was completely depleted.

"Anzhen." The Goddess of Life looked helpless, pretending to stop her, and placed a hand on Anzhen's shoulder.

“This is so unfair,” Anzhen said.

"The gods have seen all of Master Destruction's contributions to the God Realm over the years, and no one can deny that. In terms of seniority, ability, and affection for the God Realm, Master is superior to Tang San. But if we judge a person's morality and character solely based on the power they wield, then at least half the people in this world would be bad."

Anzhen remembers a little story. When you want to open a window, others disagree. But when you're about to tear down the roof, others will agree to let you open the window.

Let's make a big fuss about this!
Ultimately, the matter was resolved by the forces of good and evil, and by the Flame Princess. The four of them made a vow that if the subsequent investigation revealed that the Asura God Tang San had indeed released the Golden Dragon King, then they would convene a God Realm Committee to jointly recommend the Goddess of Life to become the leader of the God Realm and take charge of its central authority.

Let's all take a step back.

Ji Dong, the Blazing Flame, and the Goddess of Life stayed behind to stabilize the spacetime in this area. The Good and Evil Asuras went to the Divine Realm's central hub to heal their injuries with its power. Facing the Golden Dragon King, who had ignited the Flame of Life, they attempted to forcibly detain him. Even the less severely injured Good and Evil Asuras sustained numerous wounds. The God of Destruction, accompanied by An Zhen, intended to use the power of the Divine Realm's central hub to help An Zhen quickly take this final step, officially crossing the threshold to become a God-King.

"Stop being stubborn." The God of Evil patted Old Asura on the shoulder.

"Back then, we were indeed acting unjustly. Even if we were worried about the impact of the Destruction Will on Destruction, we should have prioritized the Goddess of Life when it came to the leadership of the God Realm. The time we spent observing Tang San was too short, and our handling of this matter was truly inappropriate. The Destruction Life wouldn't lie about something like this, especially with Lie Yan present at the time. Now that the Golden Dragon King almost escaped this disaster, we also bear some responsibility."

"Now, this can be considered a belated compensation for the couple."

At the same time, with the help of the God of Destruction, Anzhen took away a large amount of energy from the central hub of the divine realm.

“Seclusion in the realm of gods would be more effective,” said the God of Destruction.

An Zhen gently shook her head, "One day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal realm. This disciple still has many things to take care of."

If the seclusion lasts too long, and the Douluo Continent has already undergone tremendous changes, then there will be nowhere to cry. (End of Chapter)
