Chapter 432 A Casual Chat About Life and Destruction: Each Other's Successors

The realm of gods, within the Hall of Life, was utterly silent, as if time itself had slowed its flow.

The air here is always filled with a faint, comforting fragrance of grass and trees, and soft light seeps out from the four walls, illuminating the huge light curtain in the center of the hall, which is formed by divine power.

The scene of the dense forest of life in the lower realm was clearly reflected on the light screen.

Ah Yin was sitting quietly under the ancient tree, surrounded by a tranquil and vast blue-gold divine light, blending into the breath of the entire forest, and was lost in a deep state of enlightenment.

The Goddess of Life, a gentle and serene goddess radiating boundless vitality, is quietly gazing at the screen of light.

Her beautiful face showed an undisguised sense of relief and satisfaction as she nodded slightly.

Ah Yin's performance far exceeded her expectations.

This keen perception of the pulse of life, the profound insight into the dilemma of balance, and the immense courage and wisdom contained within that calmness all made her see an exceptionally outstanding successor rapidly growing.

"The sixth test, 'The choice of life's balance'..."

The god of life murmured softly to himself, his voice ethereal and gentle.

"The test is the wisdom and responsibility required to maintain the balance of life at the macro level."

My child, the true meaning of life is never black and white, nor is it simply about survival or extinction.

True balance often arises from the most difficult choices.

Only by understanding this can one make that perhaps painful but necessary decision and bear all the consequences, thereby protecting more and more lives.

Her gaze was deep, as if she could see through the light screen and witness Ah Yin's inner struggles and thoughts.

It was not just an increase in strength, but a tempering of the soul.

Just then, the peaceful life force within the hall rippled slightly, and a completely different aura, carrying the meaning of destruction and end, quietly descended.

But this aura did not disrupt the tranquility of the hall. Instead, like an ink droplet thrown into a lake, it was gently enveloped and neutralized by the vast life force, forming a strange harmony.

The figure of the God of Destruction appeared.

He was tall and imposing, with a cold and stern face, and his body was enveloped in a chilling, purplish-black aura of destruction.

But when he looks at the god of life, an unyielding tenderness rises in his cold eyes.

He walked slowly to the side of the goddess of life, and very naturally took her delicate hand in his, his voice low and full of concern:
"What are you looking at? You seem so engrossed."

The god of life turned his head, gave him a warm smile, and intertwined his fingers with his own.
"Look at my successor. She is exceptionally talented, kind-hearted, and resilient; she is truly a rare and wonderful child."

Her tone was filled with undisguised pride, much like a young woman showing off her outstanding younger relative to her partner.

“Look, she’s taking the sixth test, and she’s already touched on the core of the assessment. I believe that with her comprehension, she’ll soon have a sudden realization and pass the test.”

As she spoke, her gaze returned to Ah Yin's serene and focused profile on the screen, and she liked it more and more the more she looked at it.

She paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and looked up at the God of Destruction, her eyes filled with a hint of curiosity and concern:

"By the way, enough about me. What about your heir? How's it going? I remember she's also undergoing a crucial assessment?"

The couple found suitable heirs almost simultaneously, and both harbored the hope of relinquishing their responsibilities together, ascending to the vast world hand in hand, and living a carefree life.

When the God of Destruction mentioned his successor, his cold expression tightened slightly, and a complex glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He paused for a moment before speaking slowly, his voice steady yet tinged with caution:
"The fifth test is underway. That child's will... is indeed as firm as steel, and his resolute character even exceeds my initial expectations, but..."

The god of life keenly detected the faint hesitation in his words and softly pressed for an answer:

"Are you worried... that she won't be able to complete the subsequent assessments?"

She knew about the God of Destruction; the trials of destruction were notoriously harsh and difficult, almost cruelly testing the will of their successors. The God of Destruction slowly shook his head, a glint of light emanating from his dark purple eyes:

"It's not that it's impossible to complete. It's just that the inheritance of the God of Destruction becomes increasingly dangerous and difficult as it progresses, requiring endurance far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. I'm not worried that she won't be able to persevere, but rather..."

He seemed to be carefully choosing his words, and continued:

"But this process is destined to be long and painful. Compared to your successor's innate affinity and understanding that resonates with the source of life, her path will be more arduous, and it is unknown when she will be able to inherit my divinity."

The God of Destruction would never go easy on anyone during the assessment; this was his principle, and also a sign of respect for the divine position and its successor.

He would rather watch helplessly as his wife relinquishes her divine position first, and wait alone in the divine realm for endless years, than fail to select and forge a truly qualified successor capable of perfectly wielding the power of destruction.

The god of life nodded understandingly, gently squeezed his hand, and silently conveyed his support.

She gently rested her head on his strong arm, her gaze returning to the serene Ah Yin reflected in the light screen. Suddenly, she recalled a major event circulating in the divine realm recently, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Speaking of which, a few regrettable things have happened in the mortal realm recently."

Do you know about Madam Tang, the new head of the Asura God family? She actually defeated the newly promoted Sea God Tang San, which is truly unexpected.

Her purifying power and unique domain talent, embodied in the crystal scepter, were able to suppress divine power. Even the kind-hearted elder sister praised her highly and bestowed upon her the remains of the Golden Dragon King to aid her.

Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of disdain for Tang San and mockery of Poseidon:
"Hmph, that Tang San, he has a godhood but his foundation is weak and his mind is twisted. He deserves his fate."

It's ironic that Poseidon's chosen successor caused such a catastrophic disaster as the massacre of the island, and in the end, Poseidon himself had to cleanse the mess, scattering the soul of the successor and imprisoning him under the sacred pillar forever.

After this battle, the foundation of the sea god's faith was severely damaged. His position as sea god, his divine power, and the path to divine examination are likely severed. It is unknown how many more years it will take to find someone capable of even barely succeeding him to his divine position.

Poseidon's island was destroyed, and he suffered a double loss, losing face completely.

The god of life sighed softly, a sigh that carried pity for the passing of life and a sigh for the capriciousness of fate.

She looked up at her husband beside her, her gaze softening and deepening:
"Speaking of which, you and I have been husband and wife for countless years, with deep affection for each other, but we have also argued and quarreled for countless years because of our completely different concepts of life and destruction."

As she spoke, a helpless yet sweet smile appeared on her lips.

"If we hadn't loved each other so deeply and understood how to be tolerant and compromise, we probably would have..."

She paused, imagining the scene, her tone laced with a hint of humor, yet also concealing a genuine worry:

"If this were two new gods who were complete strangers, each holding the power of life and destruction, they would probably be fighting each other at the slightest disagreement, wouldn't they?"

After all, the power and concept of destruction and life are inherently opposed.

Thinking of the chaotic scene that might occur in the future, where the God of Life and the God of Destruction would start fighting as soon as they met, the God of Life couldn't help but frown slightly.

The God of Destruction, however, seemed much more relaxed. He tightened his grip on his wife, pulling her closer, and a rare, easy smile appeared on his usually hard lips.

"That's something we two 'old guys' don't need to worry about."

His deep voice carried a hint of mockery, as well as a hint of relief.

"These potential future troubles will naturally be dealt with by the new Asura God."

His duty was to preside over judgment and order, and to mediate conflicts among the gods.

We just want to hand over our responsibilities as soon as possible and enjoy some peace and quiet.

After speaking, he gently rested his chin on the fragrant hair of the God of Life, and turned his gaze to the light screen.

But his thoughts were on his successor, Bibi Dong.
