Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 445 Raising troops to investigate crimes
Not all deities are constantly watching over the mortal world. Although the divine realm connects to several worlds, only a few of these worlds attract the attention of the gods.

Huo Yuhao was someone who was targeted even before he grew up.

Given the location and time of the deity's appearance, Lin Xiao didn't need to think too much to guess who that deity was.

However, the purpose of his appearance is somewhat intriguing.

According to Bingdi, after that deity appeared, Huo Yuhao seemed to lose consciousness. Even she and Tianmeng Bingcan did not know what that deity had said to Huo Yuhao.

It was because he had moved that statue in order to obtain the fragments of Electrolux's consciousness, and when the deity descended, he unexpectedly encountered Huo Yuhao and went over to take a look.
No. Lin Xiao quickly denied this guess. If the deity was only concerned about Huo Yuhao's situation, a single glance from afar would have been enough. There was no need to risk the rule that "the divine realm cannot interfere with the mortal realm" by appearing in person.

Or perhaps it was to keep Huo Yuhao from getting out of control?
Lin Xiao glanced in the direction of Shrek Academy.

In his memory, according to the original course of events, Huo Yuhao should have already completed his journey through Qiankun Wenqing Valley, and his mind should have been completely immersed in the grief of Wang Dong'er's "death," with nothing else on his mind.

However, the Mingdu Elite Tournament is no longer what it used to be, and Huo Yuhao and his group have never been to Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

Although the two naturally came together after Wang Dong'er revealed her true identity as a woman, Huo Yuhao was far less "devoted" than Lin Xiao remembered.

Or perhaps...

Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze, his thoughts swirling. It wasn't until the Title Douluos exchanging blows in the air changed batch after batch that he slowly came back to his senses.

"It's getting late. Why don't you all continue to rest in Mingdu and continue our discussion tomorrow morning?"

As the sun began to set, the group of titled Douluos around them showed no sign of giving up.

Especially the Body Sect, perhaps influenced by the Poison Undying, some of them have already taken to the field more than once, and after several consecutive battles, they still seem eager to fight and not have enough.

Although Lin Xiao had guessed that this summit battle would probably not be too quiet, the level of cooperation among the participants still exceeded his expectations.

Upon hearing Lin Xiao speak, the surrounding crowd seemed to have unanimously forgotten about the Soul Alliance. They greeted each other with familiar faces and headed into Mingdu City.

Lin Xiao looked at the Shrek Academy figures, glanced up at the sky, and headed towards Mingdu as well.

High above, in another world far beyond Douluo Continent, the clouds formed by the condensation of the primordial energy of heaven and earth were almost tangible.

A palace-like building sits amidst the clouds and mist, its surface shimmering with a gentle sea-blue luster, like a light breeze caressing the surface of the sea.

Just then, the appearance of several figures around the building disrupted the peace.

"Poseidon—"

A sound carried far and wide, causing the surrounding clouds and mist to surge and churn. When it landed on the palace in front of them, it seemed to cause the entire palace to tremble.

"Poseidon—"

Seeing that no one responded, the newcomer shouted again, and the surrounding clouds and mist transformed into ripples that spread outwards, as if giving shape to the intangible sound.

Just then, the surroundings seemed to become slightly damp, and the ripples quietly disappeared without a trace.

"Destruction, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" The newcomer, dressed in purple robes, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and a somewhat sinister voice slowly rang out, "I should ask you what you mean."

"As an enforcer of the divine realm, you haven't forgotten the rule that the divine realm cannot easily interfere with the mortal realm, have you?" "Of course I haven't forgotten." As the voice rang out, a figure walked out of the palace, with long hair that reached all the way to the feet fluttering in the wind before gently falling behind the person.

"Then how do you plan to explain your unauthorized trip to the mortal realm a few days ago?" The God of Destruction stepped forward, his eyes turning cold as he stared intently at the Sea God before him.

"As an enforcer of the divine realm and one of the five great god-kings, you cannot easily accept the punishment for knowingly breaking the law."

"Hmph, God of Destruction, are you here to interrogate me?" The sea god showed no panic, appearing completely confident.

"As one of the five great god-kings, I naturally have the right to supervise the other god-kings, and I cannot tolerate your reckless behavior."

Although he didn't see any unusual expression on the sea god's face, he felt a little more at ease when he heard that the sea god didn't deny it immediately.

“The five great god-kings do indeed have the responsibility to supervise each other,” the sea god said calmly. “However, the matter you mentioned is of great importance. Even if you want to exercise your power, you must provide evidence.”

"Hmph, evidence?" The God of Destruction sneered. "What do you think I've been doing these past few days while you were down in the mortal realm?"

"Don't forget, as the God-King, I also have the power to interfere with the central authority of the God Realm. Your departure from the God Realm is clearly recorded. What excuse do you have left?"

Upon hearing this, the Sea God seemed to have expected it, "Indeed, I did go to the mortal realm a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people beside the God of Destruction changed slightly, and they looked in the direction of the God of Destruction.

However, the God of Destruction did not immediately erupt as they had anticipated.

With a slight frown, the God of Destruction became more vigilant.

The sea god before him, one of the five great god-kings, would so openly violate the rules of the divine realm, and now he readily admits it, which is extremely inconsistent with his usual behavior.

Thinking of this, the God of Destruction raised his voice slightly, "Since you admit that you have violated the rules of the divine realm, then come with me."

"Wait a minute." The sea god raised his hand, revealing a slight smile. "It is true that I have been to the mortal realm, and I am also well aware of the rule that the divine realm cannot interfere with the mortal realm."

"But there is one exception, surely the God of Destruction knows that?"

"You mean..." The God of Destruction paused, "that you went to the mortal realm to inherit your divine position?"

The divine realm cannot interfere with the mortal realm, but there is one exception: when the gods are searching for successors in the mortal realm.

Even when the rules of the divine realm are not clearly defined, it is not uncommon for deities to secretly help their successors.

There are no explicit regulations here, which can be considered a kind of implicit protection of the divine succession.

"I see."

The God of Destruction nodded slightly, but the Sea God's expression changed slightly upon seeing this.

He did not see the reaction he wanted from the God of Destruction's face.

"Isn't the Sea God's explanation a bit too dismissive of the other God-Kings?"
