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

Chapter 446: Off Track
Upon hearing this, Poseidon's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered slightly.

"God of Destruction, what is the meaning of this?"

"Is the Sea God more aware of my intentions than I am?" The God of Destruction stared intently at the Sea God, as if trying to discern the change in the Sea God's expression.

"The Sea God has only been in the realm of gods for a few decades. Is it already time to find a successor?"

The Sea God, unaware of the God of Destruction's plans, paused for a moment, then said, "I bear the dual divine positions of Sea God and Asura God. This will not be of any benefit to the divine realm in the long run, so naturally I must pass on one of these divine positions."

"I have observed for decades and finally found a suitable successor. What is wrong with this decision?"

"Even though you keep saying that the divine realm will soon face a calamity?" the God of Destruction pressed, "in this situation where power is needed, you still choose to seek a successor. Isn't that a contradiction?"

"Is the calamity you spoke of a hoax, or is the search for a successor a hoax?"

"On one hand, you are deceiving the gods in an attempt to achieve your own selfish desires; on the other hand, you are going to the mortal realm against the rules of the divine realm... Choose one."

Poseidon's expression darkened slightly. "So this is what you were waiting for. And why do you think these two things can't both be true at the same time?"

The sea god took two small steps as he spoke, “The successor I value is of the highest caliber in both strength and fortune. Passing the divine position to him will allow him to unleash greater power than if it were in my hands.”

"This action is also a preparation I've made for the calamity that is about to come." The Sea God suddenly turned to look at the God of Destruction. "Is this explanation satisfactory, God of Destruction?"

"My lord." Beside him, the God of Wrath leaned close to the God of Destruction and whispered.

Upon seeing this, the God of Destruction did not react, but simply took two steps forward, getting closer to the Sea God.

"Good, good, good!"

The God of Destruction said "good" three times, without showing any anger on his face, but instead revealing a slight smile.

"I suppose you have a point about the successor, but I don't want to verify whether the successor is real or not."

"I just want to know, after you descended to the mortal realm, one world deviated from its original course. How do you explain this?"

"What did you say?" The sea god's voice finally changed slightly.

"I said, it's true that it's in accordance with the rules of the divine realm for the person to inherit the divine position to descend to the mortal realm, but interfering in the operation of other worlds probably has nothing to do with finding a successor, right?"

"Nonsense!" the sea god scoffed, turning to look at the god of anger beside him, his eyes radiating a chilling aura. "Do you know what the crime is in slandering a god-king?"

"Sea God!" The God of Destruction stepped forward, blocking the God of Wrath. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky above the divine realm, thunder rumbled, and purple lightning constantly danced within the clouds.

The God-King's wrath shook heaven and earth, and the God of Destruction's voice grew even deeper, "Stop beating around the bush. Was the mortal world's deviation from its course truly your doing?"

"Hmph, the world is influenced by many factors, and it is common for it to deviate from its original trajectory. You allow your subordinates to fabricate facts like this, and I should ask you what your intentions are?"

Upon hearing this, the God of Wrath frowned even more deeply. "My two gods, Wrath and Greed, have been observing that world for a long time, but they have never discovered anything that affects its operation."

"Right after you went to the mortal realm, that world suddenly veered off course and got closer and closer to another world."

"And that world, the place you're heading to, doesn't that have anything to do with you at all?"

Hearing the God of Destruction's accusations, the Sea God seemed to realize something, and his expression suddenly relaxed. "Hmph, the Gods of Greed and Wrath govern two of the Seven Deadly Sins. For them to pay attention, that world must have similar characteristics." "Perhaps it's precisely because of their greed that they were attracted to the Douluo World. What does this have to do with me? Do you have any evidence to prove that I was involved?"

"you--"

Seeing that the God of Destruction was speechless for a moment, the Sea God felt a little more at ease.

Just as he had expected, the God of Destruction had no real evidence, which is why he came to question him.

If there were evidence to prove that the world had deviated from its original course because of him, then it wouldn't just be these few people who came today, but the other four great god-kings would have arrived together.

"But you, you condoned your subordinates' slander of the God-King—"

"Poseidon!" Before Poseidon could finish speaking, Destruction interrupted him, "What a clever way to turn the tables. Hmph, so you insist on denying this matter?"

"I did not do this, so what do I have to admit to?"

"You—" The God of Destruction was furious once again. "Fine, fine, I thought that as a god-king, you would naturally take responsibility for your actions, but I never expected you to be such a scoundrel."

"Since you need evidence, fine, then I'll come back after I find the evidence." The God of Destruction waved his sleeve and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the sea god's expression softened slightly, but the god of destruction had only taken two steps when he suddenly came to his senses again, "From now on, I will keep a close eye on your every move."

"let's go!"

Watching the God of Destruction and his party leave, the Sea God stood there for a long time, but ultimately said nothing more.

After all, it was indeed he who caused that world to deviate from its original course.

In fact, the Sea God's actions should have been much more covert than they are now. However, some things on the Douluo Continent did not happen as he had planned.

His original plans were accidentally destroyed, and after descending to the mortal realm, he discovered that his chosen successor was not developing as he had anticipated, and the day he would become a god seemed to be far away.

And the person he recently found to help him... also had quite a few other ulterior motives.

He could sense that the great calamity of the divine realm was drawing ever closer, and he needed to make sure everything else was in order before he could feel at ease.

The Sea God also knew that because of the great calamity in the divine realm, he disagreed with the God of Destruction's proposal to expand the divine realm, which displeased the God of Destruction. That's why he took action to bring forward some things when he descended to the mortal realm last time.

He thought he could use this opportunity to appease the God of Destruction's suspicions by taking care of his successor, but he didn't expect that the God of Destruction would still notice the clues.

The sea god stared intently in the direction where the god of destruction had departed, his mind churning with conflicting thoughts.

One day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year in the Mortal Realm. Several days have passed since he descended to the mortal realm, and probably several years have already passed on the Douluo Continent.

Over such a long period of time, influenced by him, Douluo Continent should have already made contact with that world.

Fortunately, there are rules in the divine realm that prevent the God of Destruction from easily descending upon Douluo Continent; otherwise, with the eyes of a god, he might actually find some evidence.

However, this is not a long-term solution, and continuing like this will inevitably endanger oneself...
