Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 682 Goddess of Life: Asura God, please have some self-respect!
Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, the Goddess of Life's eyes, which had brightened after drinking a pot of fine tea, inevitably dimmed somewhat.

However, she concealed it well, and the little emotion in her eyes only flashed by.

Before the goddess of life could even speak.

Lin Xiao then said:

"This may be a bit abrupt, so please don't misunderstand, Goddess of Life."

"I've only heard that it's very difficult to have children after becoming a god, and coincidentally, both my wife and I love children."

"I wonder, are there any special requirements for having children after becoming a god? Is it possible to be unable to conceive?"

"I think that as the goddess who governs life, you, Goddess of Life, should be the deity in the divine realm who understands this best."

The goddess of life picked up her teacup but didn't drink the tea, as if she were recalling something.

She said:

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the God of Asura, but although I am the Goddess of Life, I do not have any children of my own."

“As the goddess of life, I have my own responsibilities, and my union with destruction is of great benefit to the stability of the divine realm.”

"Unfortunately, the power of life and the power of destruction are mutually exclusive, and I will never be able to give birth to a little life of my own."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's face flashed with surprise, then he apologized:

"I'm sorry, Goddess of Life, I didn't expect there to be such a story behind it all."

The Goddess of Life shook her head, casually moving on from the topic, and then explained to Lin Xiao:
"After becoming a god, having offspring is indeed a troublesome matter."

"This is also related to the parents' power. If the parents' power can be perfectly integrated, or if they are of the same lineage, the probability of having offspring will greatly increase."

After saying that, she smiled slightly.

"However, if you, God of Asura, are willing, I can lend a hand."

"However, I can't give you children directly. I can only increase your chances of having children through some small means, while ensuring a smoother birthing process."

Lin Xiao brought up this topic knowingly, hoping to elicit the goddess of life's inner turmoil.

But hearing the goddess of life say this, I couldn't help but be tempted.

He readily nodded.

"Then I'll have to trouble the Goddess of Life. I hope you won't find me troublesome when I shamelessly ask you for favors in the future."

The two then engaged in another conversation.

Lin Xiao asked how the Goddess of Life was doing in the divine realm.

The goddess of life had a calm and composed expression. Listening to her story, one could tell that while the divine realm was indeed peaceful, life had become increasingly mundane over time.

Her only little pleasure was witnessing life unfold before her eyes.

"It's funny to think about it."

"People in the lower realm all want to become gods, but after becoming gods, they all find the divine realm boring, so they leave behind their legacy in the lower realm or keep an eye on the creatures in the lower realm."

Since it's boring.

The goddess of life's desire to have a child of her own grew even stronger.

The Goddess of Life inquired about Lin Xiao's experiences in the lower realm.

Lin Xiao answered truthfully.

Upon hearing his story, the goddess of life couldn't help but show surprise in her eyes.

"So, it's truly remarkable that you, God of Asura, have reached this level."

"The previous Asura God was really something, not uttering a word, yet he managed to snatch a peerless genius like you as his successor."

A mischievous glint appeared in the eyes of the goddess of life.

"However, I think the most pitiful ones are those chosen ones from heaven in the lower realms."

“They are all unparalleled geniuses, each with their own pride, but in the end, without exception, they were all left far behind by you, and even willingly submitted to you.”

"Haha, for example, Rakshasa, Angel, and Sea God are all veteran deities in the divine realm."

“These deities do not belong to any single power, but now they have all become your subordinates.” Lin Xiao smiled noncommittally.

“I don’t feel sorry for them at all. It should be their honor to follow me.”

At this point...

Lin Xiao's expression remained calm and composed, but the confidence emanating from his very being secretly surprised even the Goddess of Life.

But when she thought about how Lin Xiao was just a newly ascended god, and how he could defeat the God of Destruction without using the power of the God of Asura, she felt it made sense.

Lin Xiao pondered for a long time.

She returned and stared intently at the goddess of life.

This caused the Goddess of Life to blush, if not for Lin Xiao's clear gaze and the serious look in his eyes.

She was about to get angry.

"Goddess of Life, haven't you ever thought about having a child of your own? You clearly love life so much..."

"Besides."

"The power you hold is life itself. If you can personally nurture a little life of your own and experience the process of your child's development from conception to birth and then its gradual growth, it should give you a deeper understanding of the way of life."

The goddess of life paused for a moment, then a hint of anger rose on her gentle face.

She looked offended.

"God of Asura, please have some self-respect!"

"No matter how reckless the destruction, he is still my partner of countless years. I would never do anything to betray him!"

She suddenly stood up, seemingly about to utter even more furious words.

Lin Xiao looked at her in astonishment, somewhat amused and exasperated, and said:

"Goddess of Life, what are you thinking?"

"Having a child is nothing, why are you talking about betraying your husband?"

The Goddess of Life's indignant expression suddenly froze, and she looked at Lin Xiao with a stiff expression.

She vaguely realized that she seemed to have made a huge blunder.

Lin Xiao explained:
"I'll listen to what you say."

"The reason you cannot conceive your own child is simply because of the God of Destruction. His destructive power can destroy all life. Even if your life force is at the same level as his, in the end it will only be a neutralization of the two."

"And to give birth to offspring, one must have vitality. In particular, to give birth to a powerful divine descendant, one must have extremely strong vitality."

"Since the power of destruction is preventing you from giving birth to life, wouldn't it be better to just prevent the power of the God of Destruction from causing such destruction?"

The Goddess of Life blushed deeply and kept apologizing to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao, however, did not care.

He said slowly:

"The method I'm proposing is to ensure that the position of the God of Destruction is passed down."

"Or, strip away the destructive power he controls..."

"I said."

"Life and destruction are interdependent and inseparable, but the Goddess of Life and the King of Destruction are not firmly bound together."

"Both the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction should be free."

"Goddess of Life, if you truly love the God of Destruction, why don't you bear him a child?"

"In this world, it is not only the God of Destruction who can bear the power of destruction."

"The key question is whether you truly love the God of Destruction as a person, or whether it's out of a sense of responsibility to counterbalance the power of destruction?"

After speaking, Lin Xiao's eyes flashed like lightning as he stared intently at the Goddess of Life.
