Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 300 The Divine Realm Committee, The Divine Realm Expansion Conference (4K)

Zhou Weiqing's words already hinted at dissatisfaction.

Previously, the God Realm was safe and sound, so he could remain indifferent to the grudge between Dai Mubai and the Sea God, and even tolerate Dai Mubai's petty tricks, because they were insignificant.

But now he could no longer remain indifferent, because he had experienced such things himself, and therefore could not tolerate the divine realm interfering in the lower planes.

Dai Mubai sighed and nodded almost imperceptibly.

"That's how it should be."

Everything is happening too fast; he can't predict what will happen next.

However, this may be an opportunity. The divine realm is currently in turmoil. The sudden appearance of the Golden Dragon King caught the gods off guard. In addition, Xiao San, who opposes the expansion of the divine realm, is seriously injured and unconscious. It is foreseeable that the god of destruction will be in charge of the divine realm for a long time to come.

This person is a radical reformer who advocates for the expansion of the divine realm.

In this situation, how does the divine realm expand? Naturally, it's through fresh blood, more deities, and more powerful divine positions.

The rise of his own genius junior at this moment might not be a bad thing, as he had imagined.

This might be an opportunity.

Regardless, such matters need to be reported to the God Realm Committee, and then an investigation into the lower planes should be launched. Of course, the investigation here mainly refers to Douluo Star.

As one of the parties involved, he will inevitably have to participate in the process.

Perhaps, I can take this opportunity to travel to a lower plane, obtain special permission, go to Douluo Star, and see my genius junior.

Divine Council.

The main building of the Divine Realm Council is an octagonal golden palace located at the highest point of the Divine Realm. Its overall style is solemn and mysterious, and the palace shimmers with dazzling golden light under the glow of the Divine Realm.

At the center of the main hall of the committee building is a round table made of clouds and mist, its material resembling transparent jade or deep, misty gas. The walls of the hall are undecorated but inlaid with countless light screens that can transmit information through the divine realm's central hub to display changes in the lower planes under the divine realm. It can be considered another place within the divine realm's central hub system that combines monitoring and judgment functions.

At this moment, in the hall of the God Realm Committee, after Tang San's unauthorized interference in the situation in the lower realm and subsequent punishment, a group of first-level gods and several great god kings gathered once again for a closed-door meeting.

As for the other second-level and third-level deities, sorry, the gap between them and first-level gods and god-kings is even greater than the gap between mortals and gods. They are not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting.

After the Golden Dragon King incident was resolved, the divine realm focused half of its attention on reconstruction, while the other half was devoted to discussing the Golden Dragon King incident, as well as other issues.

Before this, the God of Destruction planned to give the other gods a heads-up.

This is an opportunity, an opportunity to convey my claim of expanding the divine realm to the gods.

The situation couldn't be better than it is now. The matter of the Golden Dragon King not only served as a wake-up call to the gods who had been living in peace, but also eliminated the Sea God, his biggest obstacle, in one fell swoop.

What does being injured have to do with him? He didn't let Poseidon overestimate himself and charge in recklessly. He doesn't even know whether to be sad or laugh. He wants to laugh, but that would be too undignified, so he can only hold it in for now.

The authority of the Divine Council is mainly held by the five great god-kings of the divine realm. They are responsible for judging the gods, managing the rules of the divine realm, and maintaining order. Initially, the authority of the council was mainly in the hands of the gods of evil and good. The other three god-kings, namely Destruction, Life, and Asura, exercised the authority of the gods of law enforcement.

The original decision-making mechanism was that each of the five god-kings held two votes and each of the law enforcement gods held one vote. Later, due to the Dragon God War and the reform of the divine realm, the power of the divine realm committee changed to each of the five god-kings holding one vote.

At the same time, if the three law enforcement gods agree, they can also overturn the decision of any one of the god kings. This is a typical power balance design, which means that nothing can be done. It seems fair, but in fact, it is constrained in every way.

Just look at the rift between the God of Destruction and Tang San to understand this. If any God King has a different opinion, the God Realm cannot undergo change, which is why the God Realm has not made much progress for so many years.

However, that's no longer the case. Tang San was the one who opposed the God of Destruction's proposal to expand the God Realm the most before. But now Tang San is seriously injured, and the God of Evil Ji Dong has been awakened by the Golden Dragon King, so his originally neutral stance has changed somewhat.

The God of Destruction felt that it was as if even the great creator god was helping him.

At the same time, he had another idea in mind.

What he is now obsessed with is expanding the divine realm, making it bigger and stronger, and restoring the glory of the divine realm in the past.

To achieve this, relying solely on oneself is certainly not enough, and the God Realm cannot have just the four God Kings (Tang San is automatically excluded). The God Realm needs more fresh blood.

Those ordinary ascended second-level and third-level gods are far from enough; at the very least, they must be fresh blood from first-level gods.

To achieve this, the divine positions in the divine realm must be passed down, and the divine realm must be made stronger so that it can support the ascension of more deities.

In this process, those primordial gods could pass on their divine positions, and so could I, the god of destruction.

Of course, this refers to those deities who already wield their own authority, rather than those who inherit it.

By choosing an excellent successor, and as long as their cultivation level increases, they can easily gain an additional God-King level combatant on their side, no, even more.

Since he has no intention of leaving the divine realm, when he has a suitable successor, he can fully expand the divine realm and absorb more lower planes into the divine realm's system, so that the divine realm can accommodate more divine positions.

His wife, the Goddess of Life, could assist him from behind, stabilizing the expanded territory of the divine realm. This did not include the help of evil and good, or other deities.

This is a perfect virtuous cycle, unlike what that guy with the numerous private messages said, where blind expansion might threaten the stability of the divine realm.

Watch, Poseidon, I will prove to the gods who the true leader is, not you, a mere figurehead who was severely injured by two punches from the Golden Dragon King, a fellow who has been sealed away for countless years and is currently in a weakened state.

"Regarding the resolution on the expansion of the divine realm, Article 32 of the Special Act on the Divine Realm is invoked, which states that when the divine realm is in crisis, the gods have the right to conduct a feasibility discussion on the future development of the divine realm."

The voice of the God of Destruction echoed in the council hall.

"After discussions among the major god-kings other than the Asura God-King, we unanimously agreed that the current god realm is no longer suitable for gods to carry out further cultivation and cannot accommodate more gods."

"This is completely unfair to the many talented younger generations in the lower planes. Moreover, the God Realm is no longer able to withstand sudden changes like the Golden Dragon King's. Therefore, after discussion, the God Realm expansion plan must be implemented."

"The divine realm needs more fresh blood, while the geniuses who are constantly ascending from the lower planes urgently need the divine realm to provide them with a future."

"Now, I hope that you deities, who concern the future of the divine realm and the future of the lower planes, will use your impartial and selfless wisdom to make a decision on this plan."

"."

The God of Destruction spoke at length, his words—fairness, the future, and necessity—constantly resonating in the minds of every deity. Almost every deity present knew what he intended to do: expand the divine realm. In the past, even the God of Asura had challenged him to a duel.

but now.

Seeing the empty seats on the side of the five great god-kings, and the evil god-king who remained silent but clearly supported the decision, the gods all understood that a resolution was needed today.

Is the expansion of the divine realm a good thing? In the long run, it is definitely good for the gods of the divine realm. This not only means a better environment for cultivation and living, but also means that the divine realm will have stronger resources to deal with external crises.

However, for these deities who already enjoy divine authority, this may not necessarily be a good thing.

As the divine realm expands, more divine positions will inevitably be created. In this process, their power and influence will inevitably be weakened by the new gods who are constantly ascending to the divine realm.

Humans are selfish, and so are gods.

However, given that this decision was jointly initiated by the four God-Kings (excluding the Asura God-King), it was clear that they had no other choice.

As for opposition, stop joking. Didn't you hear the words of this God of Destruction? His words were of impartial and selfless wisdom, and their warning and direction were self-evident.

They're not like the Sea God, a special being with two divine positions; they wouldn't jump out and challenge the God of Destruction. They're not qualified to know.

To put it bluntly, the authority of the divine realm has always been in the hands of the five great god-kings. As long as they agree and make a decision, it proves that the divine realm must obey. Even a first-level god is just going through the motions at this moment.

The lower-ranking deities on the side of the God of Destruction were the first to support him, followed by the camps of the God of Evil and the God of Good. However, to the surprise of the other first-rank deities, those who originally supported the Sea God, such as Rong Nianbing, also supported the God of Destruction at this moment.

Thinking about it, it seemed reasonable. After all, the filter of the 'fair and impartial' Sea Cucumber Lord had been shattered. He not only showed his despicable nature, but even his strength, which they couldn't figure out before, was shattered by the Golden Dragon King's two punches.

Rather than blindly going down a dark path and unwisely opposing the major god-kings and the entire divine realm, it's better to sever ties now; this time, it's the wise gods' approach.

After the gods almost unanimously approved it, the God of Destruction couldn't help but smile.

It felt amazing, amazing like never before. I haven't felt this good in years.

Sure enough, as long as that sea god isn't going against me, everything I do will go smoothly.

"Alright, the resolution on the expansion of the divine realm has been passed. On behalf of the committee of the divine realm, I hereby announce that the expansion of the divine realm will be the main task of the divine realm in the future. Next, we will begin to make detailed plans for the details of the expansion and the arrangement of divine positions."

"."

Just as the Divine Realm Committee was making its decision, the Divine Realm Central Government's surveillance of the lower planes was transmitted to the Divine Realm Committee via video feeds through Zhou Weiqing and Dai Mubai.

They currently have the task of managing the central hub of the God Realm, so they naturally cannot attend the God Realm Committee meeting. Furthermore, Dai Mubai's second-level War God status is not enough to qualify him to attend the meeting.

As for the idea that he wanted to ask the lower realm to find out the identity of his outstanding junior, Huo Yuhao, that was a pipe dream and absolutely impossible.

This turn of events surprised the gods who were initially hesitant, but for the God of Destruction, it was a good thing, a very good thing.

Another prodigy has emerged in the lower plane, qualified to inherit the divine position. For someone like me who wants to expand the divine realm, especially in the current situation, this is practically a divine intervention.

Look, look! Just as I was about to expand the God Realm, a suitable prodigy appeared in the lower plane. What does this mean? It means that the expansion of the God Realm is an inevitable trend. Let's see who dares to say one thing to your face and another behind your back, and who dares to have other ulterior motives regarding the expansion of the God Realm.

Looking around, the God of Destruction was smug.

"It seems that the expansion of the God Realm is inevitable. We can't leave the geniuses of the lower planes with nowhere to go, can we?"

Now, who dares to say no?

The divine expansion conference, which might have otherwise faced some obstacles, suddenly went exceptionally smoothly because of this unexpected little incident.

Even the God of Destruction couldn't help but take a closer look at this prodigy from a lower plane who had attracted the attention of the central authority of the divine realm. However, the meeting was still in progress, and he would try to find out what was going on with this prodigy from a lower plane who could cause such a stir in the central authority after the meeting ended.

On the other hand, Tang San's side is in a terrible predicament.

Xiao Wu was still crying, after all, there was nothing she could do but cry. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, whose strength was limited and who could not attend the meeting of the God Realm Committee, could only comfort her from the side.

One of them is the Nine-Colored Goddess, a second-level deity, and the other is the God of Speed, a second-level deity. Given this situation, there is really only so much they can do.

The Shrek Seven Devils, who once enjoyed immense fame on the Douluo Continent, were forced to fade into obscurity among the gods in the vast realm of the Gods.

Even their relationship is no longer as close as it was in the lower plane.

Needless to say, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, as well as Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, would all have some issues with their third brother.

If Huo Yuhao knew about their abstract ideas, he would definitely give them a piece of his mind.

Putting everything else aside, just considering that ten thousand years have passed in Douluo Continent, that's more than twenty years in the God Realm.

This period of time is almost comparable to the time the seven of them spent on Douluo Star back then.

However, in that long period of time, after inheriting their divine positions, they not only failed to improve their strength much, but even regressed slightly due to years of laziness. It must be said that their success was largely due to luck.

In other words, back on Douluo Star, there might not have been many talents that could compare to the Shrek Seven Devils who had consumed the immortal herbs, but in terms of effort, there were definitely quite a few who could surpass them.

So you really are using a timeline of 10,000 years in the lower plane and activating time freeze, right?

Ning Rongrong, an arrogant young lady; Xiao Wu, a naive little rabbit who has lived for 100,000 years and is still as foolish as a fool; Ma Hongjun and Oscar need no further introduction, each with their own undeniable flaws.

The only one who can be considered a normal person is probably Zhu Zhuqing. Okay, she broke off the engagement first and then pursued love. Although there were various factors involved, the choice of the person in the end remained the same: Dai Mubai, the twin assassin. Later, he was even regarded as a benchmark of independence. It has to be said that this is quite abstract.

There are too many flaws to criticize further.

After the Goddess of Life's simple treatment, Tang San wouldn't die, but his injuries, especially the destructive power of the Golden Dragon King, still caused him immense pain at all times.

"Hoo!!"

A heavy breathing sound came, and Tang San finally woke up slowly.
