Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 362 Battle
It's no wonder that Destruction's mind wavered; the current divine realm is simply too fragile.

Since Tang San became a god, the God Realm first lost two first-level god positions, causing its foundation to drop sharply.

However, out of respect for the old Asura God and to avoid grudges with his subordinates in the lower realm, the original four god-kings did not hold it against him too much.

Furthermore, in accordance with the rules of the God Realm, they generously allowed Tang San to join the God Realm Committee and become one of them.

However, due to the first generation of evil and good god kings' poor judgment of people, they entrusted the central authority of the god realm to Tang San.

This caused his ambition to swell instantly, leading to a decline in the state of the gods.

Now that Douluo Star is determined to leave, the God Realm has lost another first-level god and five second-level gods, each with unique skills, making matters worse.

As a result, Tang San himself was left with nothing, and was seriously injured and powerless.

Add to that the Golden Dragon King's attempt to break free of the seal and continue wreaking havoc in the divine realm, and the divine realm is in utter misery.

For a time, the God of Destruction longed for the so-called 'Spirit Realm' that Lin Po had mentioned.

If we could integrate the entire God Realm into it, like in Douluo Star, wouldn't all the problems be solved?

This idea, once it appeared, instantly occupied the high ground of thought.

As long as the current hidden dangers in the divine realm can be resolved and prosperity can be guaranteed, making some sacrifices is only right!

However, his experience of controlling the central hub of the divine realm constantly reminded him that if he did so, his and Xiao Lü's lives and possessions would likely fall into the hands of others.

He still vividly remembered the feeling of being able to decide life and death with a mere gesture, even though he hadn't touched the central hub of the divine realm for many years.

Is it worth sacrificing the dignity and safety of oneself, Little Green, and other gods for the future of the divine realm?
Furthermore, although the situation is urgent, it is far from being a matter of life and death.

It's somewhat unreasonable to so easily choose to live under someone else's roof and become someone else's appendage.
Completely different ideas swirled in the God of Destruction's mind, giving him a terrible headache.

"Little Purple."

Noticing the struggle in the expression of the person beside him, the God of Life called out to him in a low voice, but received no response.

She understood that there were some questions her husband would never ask, given his personality.

She then stepped forward, took his hand, and took over the conversation.

"I hope Young Master Lin can tell me, what price would be required if the God Realm wishes to merge into your realm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent. Apart from Lin Po and Destruction, everyone else stared in disbelief at the God of Life.

Ji Dong and Lie Yan, in particular, had expressions that read, "We are ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?"

But on second thought, this decision doesn't seem so bad.

We, this weak and helpless couple, don't have to be beaten up and humiliated by that terrifying young man.

After the deed is done, there's no need to get involved in the affairs of the divine realm, big or small, or get stuck in the middle, caught in a dilemma.

With these thoughts in mind, the two of them shut their mouths tightly, hiding behind their senior without uttering a word, and quietly watching the changing situation.

In contrast, Lin Po raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the question from the God of Life, and his evaluation of her changed from 'unreasonable' to 'decisive in important matters, but indecisive in trivial matters'.

"As you should know, as the ruler of the world, I have the power of life and death over any living being in the world."

"Of course, I won't abuse it."

"Therefore, as long as you choose to integrate into the spirit world, your life will inevitably be restricted by me."

"As long as you have personal freedom and don't harm the spirit world, once you've finished your work, no one will bother with your private affairs."

Upon hearing this, the God of Life nodded slightly, seemingly having anticipated this.

He then turned to look at the destruction, awaiting his thoughts.

This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by her alone.

However, before Destruction could even utter a word after regaining his composure, an even more bombshell was dropped by Lin Po, leaving everyone stunned and bewildered.

"Just a friendly reminder: the divine realm isn't only facing internal troubles right now; external threats exist as well."

"If I'm not mistaken, while we're chatting, there's a black hole that you couldn't break even if you worked together, and it's moving toward the coordinates of the God Realm."

"It will probably be in another twenty or thirty years."

"What! You're talking nonsense!"

Before the words were even finished, the God of Destruction exclaimed in surprise and instinctively retorted.

However, upon seeing Lin Po's seemingly genuine expression, he immediately suppressed his emotions, his face turning unusually grim. Whether it was true or false, they would know once they returned to the God Realm and used the power of the Central Authority to verify it.

There was absolutely no need for them to deceive him with such a crude lie!
The three people remained silent, heads bowed, seemingly lost in thought.

Only Dai Mubai and his group, along with Rong Nianbing who had somehow appeared beside them, wore unusually bright smiles.

With the Asura God watching them from within and a black hole devouring everything from without, they found their only way to survive.

Thinking of this, Rong Nianbing and the others couldn't help but secretly rejoice that they had the foresight to choose to surrender to the big boss in advance and escape the huge pit of the God Realm.

Otherwise, the outcome definitely won't be good!

The small space remained silent for a long time until a long sigh broke the deathly stillness.

"Hulinpo, since you brought this up yourself, you must have already planned it out. Just say it, stop teasing me like this."

Having said that, the God of Destruction straightened his expression and handed the initiative to this young man who had won him over.

“Senior is very generous! Since you did not communicate with the main body to descend to the mortal realm without authorization, I will naturally not make things difficult for you or make unreasonable demands.”

Lin Po's clear laughter left the four god-kings speechless.

Why not make things more difficult for me?

If it weren't for Xiao Lü constantly soothing me with her voice, I would have almost flipped the table!
"Your concerns are nothing more than two things: the attitude of the gods and whether the divine realm will be treated unfairly after it is merged into the divine realm."

"The gods are easy to deal with. After some time, when we have accumulated enough strength, the forces of the spirit realm will enter the divine realm, and then we can subdue them!"

"In addition, after integrating into the spirit world, you can re-establish a new divine realm committee."

"I will only communicate with a few of you and will not overstep my authority. You will continue to be responsible for all matters concerning the gods of the Primordial God Realm."

"how?"

Destruction was eager to gain more benefits, but he also knew that he was at the mercy of others.

In their first less-than-friendly meeting, Lin Po had already made a huge concession by granting Lin Po a certain degree of autonomy.

It must be admitted that the young man in front of him is far more honest and trustworthy than Tang San, and is definitely not the kind of person who plays mind games.

There might be some ulterior motives in the conversation, but the result is harmless and can even deepen the relationship between the two people.

It's done!

After a moment's thought, the God of Destruction finally made up his mind, and his tone became calm.

"Ha, since you've put it that way, do I have a choice? But there's one thing I hope you'll agree to!"

"Of course, provided it doesn't go against one's interests."

Upon hearing this, Lin Po laughed and agreed, looking at Destruction with anticipation in his eyes.

"Upon returning from this journey, I, the God-King, will immediately organize the gods and establish a defensive line under the pretext of resisting foreign enemies."

"I want you to personally lead your troops to fight openly and honorably in the realm of gods, soldier against soldier, general against general, king against king!"

"At that time, you will face the joint 'punishment' of five god-kings."

"Let me see if your strength and courage can win the heartfelt submission of the gods and whether you are qualified to lead me!"

"So! Do you dare to accept the challenge?!"

The declaration, tantamount to a challenge, resounded throughout the space, and everyone present turned their gaze to Lin Po, awaiting his final decision.

In truth, the outcome was already predetermined for both worlds; whether they fought or not made little difference.

Therefore, Lin Po, as the beneficiary, made his choice based on a single thought.

"Haha! What's there to be afraid of!"

"One day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year in the Spirit Realm! Starting from today, one month from now, I will personally lead the Spirit Realm army to reign supreme over the God Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Destruction was overjoyed. He leaped forward, stopping a meter away from Lin Po, raised his right hand, and said loudly:
"Alright! A gentleman's word is his bond!"

Lin Po smiled broadly upon seeing this.

"Hurry up and whip your horse!"

Snapped!
After saying that, he clapped his hands together, and the crisp sound made people's hearts tremble.
