Douluo Continent: Reversing Yin and Yang, the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect

"At that time, you only need to superficially share the dragon body with Shura and the others, but in reality, the Golden Dragon King's power will have already entered your pockets beforehand. Your gains will naturally be much greater than those of the other three God-Kings."

Qian Xunji pushed Tianheng forward half an inch: "In this way, it's not unreasonable for me to ask for a soul bone and a soul ring, is it?"

The God of Destruction stared at Qian Xunji, then glanced at the strange Tianheng.

Plunder and sabotage. To steal and change things right under Shura's nose—this is exactly what he desperately craves right now.

The God of Destruction turned his head and met the gaze of the God of Life. The God of Life hesitated for half a second, then finally nodded slightly.

"laugh."

The God of Destruction drew a line with his fingertip across his palm, forcing out a drop of purplish-black divine blood containing ultimate destructive power. The God of Life similarly forced out a drop of crystal-clear emerald-green divine blood.

Two drops of divine blood from the God-King converged in mid-air and fell into the disc of the Reversed Heavenly Balance.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

........

The inner realm, the central hub of the divine realm.

The abducted priest from the outer realm lay limp in the center of the hall like a lump of mud, a lifeless shell.

His soul had just been extracted and violently refined by the five great god-kings, and all his secrets about the mortal world had been completely exposed.

The angel king's face was ashen, and his wings flapped restlessly behind him.

"What a pity." He stared at the empty shell on the ground, gritting his teeth.

"When this priest left the mortal realm, that ingrate Qian Xunji should still be carrying out his inheritance. But judging from the time flow between the two realms, he should have already completely crossed the threshold of becoming a first-level god by now."

"Giggle giggle..."

A string of charming laughs echoed through the hall. The God of Destruction leaned back on his throne, one hand supporting his chin.

"Angel, your cheap successor has finally made it to godhood. Shouldn't you, as his elder, be happy?"

The angel king's face darkened, and he turned to stare at the little girl sitting on her throne, swinging her legs.

"Destruction? Stop watching the show," the Angel King said coldly.

"Don't forget, war is about to break out between the two realms, and we're all in the same boat. That Reverse Heavenly Balance doesn't discriminate, so why can't that little beast use a super artifact to lock onto you and strip you of your God-King position?"

The little girl's slender legs, swaying gently, came to a stop. She spread her hands, her scarlet eyes filled with malice and mockery:

"Yes, of course he can lock onto me. But guess what, if he really wanted to fight, would he attack me first, or kill you, the God-King who's always looking to exploit and oppress him?"

The angel king's breath hitched, and his face turned ashen.

"Alright, stop your verbal sparring." The Evil God-King sat up straight, his smile fading.

"Since that super artifact is a hidden danger hanging over our heads, I have a radical idea that might allow us to bypass Tianheng's lock."

The Angel King frowned: "Oh? What brilliant idea do you have?"

The Evil God-King tapped his fingertips lightly on the table: "The logic of the Reverse Balance is to replace 'divine ranks.' Since it has its sights set on divine positions, what if we voluntarily pass on our divine positions?"

The moment these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.

"Without our divine positions, our absolute strength will indeed decline somewhat. But don't forget, as long as we don't hand over the ultimate artifacts, with our accumulated resources and weapons, we still possess the combat power of a God-King." The Evil God-King licked his red lips, his voice seductive.

"And those new gods who inherited their divine positions, though empty shells, are in fact new god-kings. With this back and forth, wouldn't our highest combat strength have doubled out of thin air?"

The God-King of Life frowned slightly, keenly sensing a blind spot: "But if we relinquish our divine positions, how will we, as God-Kings, devour our counterparts in the outer realm when the two worlds are completely merged?"

"What's the rush?" The evil god-king's smile grew even more cruel.

"What we want is a short-term surge in the divine realm's combat power. When distributing the inheritance, we'll withhold the super artifacts. After the war between the two realms ends and the outer realm is completely devoured, we old guys will join forces to kill those new god-kings who have lost their usefulness one by one. At that time, won't the godhood naturally return to our hands?"

They treat their successors as one-time power boosters, killing them after use.

This insane plan made even the dead priest seem less creepy.

After hearing this plan, the angel king's expression did not improve; instead, it became even more unpleasant, almost so gloomy that it could drip water.

This plan was perfect for the other four God-Kings. They all possessed supreme artifacts, and even if they relinquished their divine positions, they would have the power to forcibly kill the inheritors and reclaim their divine status after the war.

But what about him?!

His Reversal of Heavenly Balance and Angel's Oath are currently in Qian Xunji's hands!

If he were to relinquish his angelic position now, he would become a god without a divine position or any powerful artifact to protect him.

At that point, let alone killing the inheritor to reclaim his godhood, if he wants to regain his divine position, he'll have to beg the other four god-kings for help like a dog.

When that time comes, he will definitely be severely ripped off by those ruthless colleagues.

But now he has been forced to the brink of despair, with no other choice.

"...It's worth a try." The Angel King practically ground his back teeth to powder as he forced out those four words.

As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl suddenly slapped her thigh and looked excitedly at the Angel God King.

"Great idea!" The Destruction Loli grinned, revealing two sharp little fangs.

"In that case, let's send the angel down to the mortal realm to find an unlucky soul and have him pass on his divine position to test it out! After he finishes, a few of us will sneak up and kill the new god on the spot, to see if the angel can really reclaim his divine status. Perfect test subjects!"

"That's right!" the evil god king immediately echoed.

The angel king clenched his fists, his lips opening and closing repeatedly.

He even suspected that the four people opposite him might have made some kind of cheap deal behind the scenes.

Faced with the gazes of the four god-kings, he could only bow his head and acquiesce in the end.

……

The Divine Realm Committee.

Above the rolling sea of ​​clouds, in front of the solemn and majestic round table, the position that originally belonged only to the five great god-kings has now been forcibly occupied by a sixth high-backed god throne.

Qian Xunji, clad in golden divine armor, sat calmly within it, on equal footing with the five great god-kings.

In order to deal with the crisis of being devoured by the inner realm, the five great god-kings took turns going down to the lower realm to discuss countermeasures with their trusted first-level gods, using the time flow in the lower realm. Now they have finally reached a preliminary strategic direction.

"There are currently two resolutions," the Asura God-King said solemnly, surveying the crowd.

"First, immediately try to extend your divine sense outwards and seek to unite with other unknown divine realms in this universe."
