In the vast divine realm, clouds surge and laws intertwine, yet beneath this eternally peaceful facade, a conflict over the expansion of the divine realm's territory has long been brewing between the two great god-kings.

The God of Destruction, by nature domineering and ruthless, devoted his life to the power of ultimate destruction and had long coveted the vast and violent dimensional energy contained within the Chaos Beyond the Heavens and the Abyss Plane. On several occasions during meetings of the Divine Realm Council, he overruled objections and proposed—to use the immense energy of the Abyss Plane to expand the territory of the Divine Realm, strengthen the dimensional barriers, and make the foundation of the Divine Realm even more stable under the nourishment of ultimate power.

In his eyes, this was the most direct and effective way to strengthen the divine realm. As stubborn as he was, once he made up his mind, he never wavered in the slightest.

However, every time he made a suggestion, it was rejected outright by Tang San, the Sea God, in front of everyone.

All the gods in the divine realm believed that the God of Destruction was being radical and reckless, which contradicted the Sea God Tang San's philosophy of being gentle, conservative, and seeking stability. However, no one knew that this back-and-forth dispute was the most crucial link in Tang San's grand plan that had been in the works for ten thousand years.

From beginning to end, Tang San never allowed the God Realm to expand blindly.

The expansion of the divine realm's territory will inevitably disperse existing divine authority, dilute the concentration of power in the divine realm's council, and indirectly weaken the voice and influence of his Sea God lineage in the divine realm, shaking the power structure he has painstakingly built up. This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

The abyss plane that the gods feared was never the nourishment he used to expand the divine realm, but rather the second step in his grand plan for the advancement of the Douluo Continent plane over ten thousand years.

He had already planned everything meticulously, waiting only for the opportune moment to allow the Abyss Plane to launch a massive invasion of Douluo Continent. When the Douluo Continent was ravaged and the plane was on the verge of collapse, he would then descend from the heavens as the supreme Sea God of the God Realm, leading all the gods to defeat the Abyss forces as a savior and reap the faith power of billions of people across the entire Douluo Continent.

At that time, his status as a God King will be completely solidified, and the prestige of the Tang family and Tang Sect will reach the pinnacle in both the God Realm and the Douluo Continent, unmatched by anyone.

As for the God of Destruction, Tang San captured his personality perfectly.

The God of Destruction was arrogant, stubborn, and competitive. The more he was obstructed, the more intense his obsession became, and the more determined he was to go his own way. Tang San didn't need to do anything complicated; he only needed to feign obstruction from the perspective of righteousness time and time again to push the God of Destruction step by step into the abyss.

When the God of Destruction is consumed by his obsession and recklessly touches the violent power of the abyss, he will surely have his divine power eroded by the abyss's malevolent energy, and in the end, in the struggle against the abyss, he will exhaust his divine power and perish completely.

The Goddess of Life, who shares a symbiotic relationship with the God of Destruction and is fundamentally connected to him, becomes a lonely and helpless God-King in the God Realm once she loses his protection. Without the checks and balances and protection of the power of destruction, even if she still holds the supreme position of God of Life, she is no longer able to contend with Tang San. Without him even lifting a finger, she will be completely controlled and manipulated.

At that time, the primal power of the two supreme god-kings, the Destruction God Seed and the Life God Seed, will finally fall entirely into the hands of the Tang family.

Tang San withdrew his cold gaze from the endless chaotic abyss, slowly walked back to the supreme throne of the Sea God Temple, and gently sat down. His slender fingertips lightly tapped the marble armrest, the rhythm steady and cold, each soft sound seeming to mark the final note of his earth-shattering conspiracy that would sweep across two planes.

"The prototype of the Yin-Yang Godhood, the seed of destruction, the seed of life..."

He murmured softly, his usually gentle, compassionate, and kind blue eyes completely losing all pretense, leaving only undisguised greed and boundless ambition: "With these three things, the Tang family bloodline can surpass all the gods in the divine realm, remain prosperous for ten thousand generations, and forever hold supreme power."

He never needed to inherit these divine positions himself; what he needed to do was pave an unparalleled path for the future generations of the Tang family. The Yin-Yang divine position within Zi Lingtian's body, which was not bound by the existing divine position system of the divine realm and generated its own laws of heaven and earth, had potential far exceeding all known main divine positions in the divine realm. Even if its compatibility with Tang Wutong's Goddess of Light Butterfly and Clear Sky Hammer martial soul was not high, it could still be left to be inherited by the direct descendants of the Tang family, forging an invincible bloodline that could crush the divine realm.

His thoughts then shifted downwards, landing on the Douluo Continent in the lower realm, on the quietly rising chosen one of destiny—Huo Yuhao.

Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly; his scheming was already deeply ingrained in his bones.

Huo Yuhao's awakened Spirit Eye is a rare and ultimate spiritual-type martial soul in the history of Douluo Continent. He is the best successor to the next God of Emotions, and his future achievements are limitless. If this person can be completely bound to the Tang family's war machine, the Tang family's power can simultaneously cover both the God Realm and the Douluo Continent, leaving no rivals.

The best shackle that bound Huo Yuhao was always emotion.

He saw through Huo Yuhao's tumultuous life: suffering endless bullying in the White Tiger Duke's mansion from a young age, his mother dying with resentment, living as a dependent, lonely and helpless, his heart barren and lacking love, desperately craving warmth and recognition. Such a young man, once given even a sliver of genuine affection, would give his all and remain loyal to the death, making him most easily manipulated by emotions and turning into a weapon of the Tang family.

Originally, his plan was to have his daughter, Tang Wutong, go to the mortal realm under an assumed name to keep Huo Yuhao by his side and make him an appendage of the Tang family.

But after observing for a period of time, he developed a more comprehensive and ruthless plan.

This key piece is Zi Lingtian.

As the only son of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, Zi Lingtian possesses innate level 30 full soul power and twin super-god-level martial souls, making him an exceptionally talented individual. If he could forge a life-or-death bond with Huo Yuhao, this connection could be used to legitimately bring Huo Yuhao into the Tang family's sphere of influence. Furthermore, if Zi Lingtian could be completely tamed and made willingly serve the Tang family, it would be killing two birds with one stone, putting two future top prodigies under one's control.

As for his daughter Tang Wutong, Tang San's lips curled into a cold and subtle smile.

The bond between parents and children has always been the most exquisite art of balancing.

He wanted both Zi Lingtian and Huo Yuhao to fall for Tang Wutong. One was her childhood sweetheart with whom she had been together since childhood, and the other was her destined lover with whom she was bound by fate. The two competed with each other and restrained each other, neither daring to harbor any disloyal thoughts. Their lives would revolve around Tang Wutong and the Tang family.

Tang Wutong only needs to maintain this delicate balance to firmly control these two major forces and become the ultimate beneficiary.

"It's time to send them both down to the mortal realm for training."

Tang San murmured to himself, his azure eyes reflecting the eternal starry river of the God Realm, but without a trace of warmth, only the coldness and ruthlessness of someone strategizing.

He rose and straightened his sea god robes, the azure sleeves fluttering gently in the breeze of the divine realm. His steps were steady and precise, each one meticulously planned and executed. He walked straight toward the divine realm committee, placing his carefully crafted pieces one by one.
