Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

Chapter 251 Goddess of Life: I support Tang San, the Sea God!

Opposite them were a man and a woman.

The man was none other than the God of Destruction, clad in a large purple cloak, emanating a terrifying aura of destruction.

Beside him stood a woman in a light green dress, radiating vitality.

With a faint smile on her face, she gave off a friendly vibe.

"Everyone," a deep voice came from within the purple cloak, and a pair of flickering crimson lights pointed directly at Tang San, the Sea God, at the head of the group.

"Recently, many exceptionally talented humans in the lower realms have reached the pinnacle of their cultivation, and they need to attain the position of a deity to enter my divine realm."

"I propose," the God of Destruction paused, his tone becoming more resolute, "that we open up the realm of the gods."

"God of Destruction," Sea God Tang San frowned, "the rules of the God Realm were established long ago; how can they be changed so easily?"

"Moreover," Tang San, the Sea God, said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "opening up the God Realm could shake the very foundation of our God Realm, which is unacceptable."

"While some humans in all realms have reached the pinnacle, in my divine realm, there are also gods who have relinquished their divine positions to explore even more distant galaxies."

"Poseidon Tang San paused for a moment, then offered his solution: "Let them take turns freely."

"Freedom to change?" The God of Destruction sneered. "Sea God, you're making that sound far too easy."

"How difficult is the succession of deities? Some people who were originally qualified have perished because they could not pass the divine succession."

The voice of the God of Destruction was filled with indignation. He was heartbroken that those geniuses who could have ascended to the realm of gods had perished because of the restrictions of the rules of the divine realm.

"If there were more divine positions in the divine realm, advancement would be much easier,"

The God of Destruction's voice grew even louder, as if he could already see an even more glorious future for the divine realm.

"What's wrong with opening up the divine realm? With the accumulated divine power of the divine realm over the years, opening it up gradually is in accordance with the will of Heaven, and only then can the divine realm have greater development."

"You don't think everyone can be like you," the God of Destruction's voice suddenly turned sharp, pointing directly at the Sea God Tang San.

"Be chased by two gods to inherit the divine position."

"Sea God, don't forget how you became a god in the first place!"

The God of Destruction's tone was full of sarcasm, and the other three God Kings also turned their gazes to the Sea God Tang San, each with a different expression.

"What, now that you've become a god," the God of Destruction's voice was full of sarcasm, "aren't others allowed to become gods?"

The words of the God of Destruction resounded like thunder at the God Realm Conference, and the gazes of the other three God Kings also became intrigued, as they recalled the process of the Sea God Tang San becoming a god.

Back when he was in the lower realm, his talent was only average, and the only thing worth mentioning was his twin martial souls.

But even with this, two gods who wanted to resign were still pursuing the succession to their divine positions.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. If gods wanted to run away, they could simply find a successor, and the gods couldn't interfere.

However, what is shocking is that Tang San, the Sea God who possesses two divine positions, is unable to unleash the full power of his divine positions.

While in the lower realm, he was almost killed by two newly ascended first-level gods.

This made all the big shots in the divine realm widen their eyes.

If the Sea God and his companions hadn't found the Nine-Colored Goddess and resurrected her, it's uncertain whether the Sea God would even exist in the divine realm now.

Even so, after becoming a god, the sea god spent ten thousand years and still had not fully mastered the power of the two divine positions.

Feeling the strange gazes of the other God-Kings falling on him, the Sea God Tang San's face immediately darkened.

This god of destruction is practically asking for death; he always brings up the most sensitive topics.

The fact that he was favored by two great gods was due to his extraordinary talent, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Admitting I'm strong, does that make things difficult for you?

When he became a god, he did not master the power of the Asura God. He simply used the power of the Sea God to fight against the Angel God and the Rakshasa God.

This is already incredibly impressive.

Why don't you look at my strengths, but instead keep focusing on my weaknesses?

Although Tang San, the Sea God, was seething with anger, he remained outwardly calm, a slight smile playing on his lips as he spoke in a nonchalant tone:

"Opening up the divine realm is no small matter. The old Asura God and the Sea God chose me as their successor, presumably because they believed in my abilities. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in charge of managing the central hub of the divine realm."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the gods present, finally settling on the God of Destruction.

"Therefore, regarding the matter of establishing a divine realm, my opinion is that the time is not yet ripe, and it is completely unfeasible! I reject it!"

Tang San's tone was firm and resolute as he directly rejected the God of Destruction's proposal.

"You..." The God of Destruction's expression changed drastically, his anger burning fiercely in his chest. He slammed his fist on the table, pointed at Tang San, and roared:

"Although you manage the central authority of the divine realm, this matter cannot be decided by you alone! After the reincarnation of the two God-Kings, each of us five God-Kings will have one vote. I request a vote! I agree to expand the divine realm!"

Poseidon Tang San felt a chill run down his spine. If it were a vote by five people, he would be at a complete disadvantage.

His eyes darted around, and he quickly said, "Even if this matter needs to be voted on, it requires an expanded meeting of the Divine Realm Committee. It's definitely not something that the five of us can decide on. Let's talk about it later."

With undeniable words, he forcefully suppressed the aggressive advances of the God of Destruction.

The God of Destruction was furious, his purple robes fluttering without wind, and his red eyes flashing with ferocity, but he quickly regained his composure.

Seeing this, the goddess of life sitting beside him quickly smoothed things over, saying:

"Destruction, this matter does indeed require careful consideration; you should not rush into it."

Under normal circumstances, the God of Destruction would certainly heed the advice of the Goddess of Life.

However, he had already made up his mind today.

"Hmph!" The God of Destruction slammed his hand on the table, snorted angrily, stood up, and said:

"Poseidon, that sounds nice, but what we five can't decide is none of our business."

"Their opinions?"

"Do you think we're fools?"

"You sea god, when have you ever listened to anyone's opinion?"

Enraged, the God of Destruction unleashed a terrifying aura of destruction from his body, sweeping across the entire hall like a volcanic eruption.

The once magnificent temple was now shrouded in a gray-black aura, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

In the eyes of the God of Destruction, the Sea God Tang San's claim that he wanted to listen to everyone's opinions was simply a pretext.

What use are the opinions of those weak second-level gods and first-level gods?

Ultimately, isn't the final decision-making power of the divine realm in the hands of the five great god-kings?

"Little Purple, we're all God Kings, let's talk this out."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, the Goddess of Life quickly got up, tugged at the sleeve of the God of Destruction, and gently advised him.

"Sea God, he was also thinking of the divine realm."

The goddess of life turned her head and smiled slightly at the sea god, signaling him to calm down.

Her soft, gentle voice, like a spring breeze and gentle rain, eased the tense atmosphere somewhat.

The God of Destruction felt the touch of the Goddess of Life, and the anger in his heart subsided somewhat.

He took a deep breath and slowly sat back down, but his face remained gloomy.

When the sea god saw that the goddess of life was on his side once again, he felt at ease.

A slight, confident smile played on his lips as he addressed the God of Destruction:

"Since the God of Destruction still insists on expanding the divine realm, let's follow the rules and vote."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over each of the God-Kings present, and said calmly:

"Let's see what everyone chooses before we decide what to do."

Poseidon didn't finish his sentence; he deliberately left it unsaid, only saying "how to proceed."

He knew that if the vote turned out to be against him, he could use the privileges of the God-King to increase the number of voters and win over the neutral gods who supported him.

Even if the God of Destruction gains the support of the other three God-Kings, their votes will not be enough to influence the final outcome.

The God of Destruction was slightly taken aback when he heard that the Sea God had agreed to vote.

He didn't notice the trap the sea god had set in his words, and simply assumed that the sea god had finally given in.

He snorted coldly, thinking to himself, "Vote? Let's vote then. I want to see whether more people support you, the Sea God, or I, the God of Destruction!"

He firmly believed that he possessed absolute prestige in the divine realm and that victory would surely belong to him.

According to the conventions of the God Realm, Ji Dong, who was the weakest and usually spoke the least, was the first to speak.

He coughed lightly twice, drawing everyone's attention, and then slowly said:

"Ahem, Flame and I have only been in the God Realm for a short time and are not yet familiar with its affairs, so we will not participate in its important matters. Therefore, we both abstain."

Ji Dong and Lie Yan's words didn't cause much of a stir, and no one was surprised. After all...

Although the Evil and Good God-Kings are also among the Five Great God-Kings, they have always been indifferent to worldly affairs and focused only on their own cultivation, so their presence in the God Realm is not strong.

They are incomparable to the sea god, the god of destruction, and the goddess of life.

Not only is he relatively inexperienced, but he also lacks a super artifact, making him the weakest among the five great god-kings.

They are only temporarily in charge of the positions of God-King. Once the two old God-Kings have had their fill and returned to the God Realm, they will be demoted.

Therefore, they are very clear about their position. They do not interfere in any major events in the divine realm and simply live their own lives.

Even if the sky falls, the sea god and the god of destruction will hold it up; it's not their place to worry about it.

Tang San took a deep breath, turned his gaze to the God of Destruction, and said firmly:

"Good and evil abstained; I voted against."

He paused, looked around at the crowd, and finally fixed his gaze on the goddess of life.

"Now I and the God of Destruction each have one vote. Goddess of Life, who will you vote for?"

As soon as she finished speaking, four pairs of eyes turned to the Goddess of Life, each gaze containing a different emotion.

The God of Destruction stared intently at the Goddess of Life, his eyes filled with anticipation, as if he could immediately grasp the glorious future of the expansion of the divine realm with just a nod from the Goddess of Life.

His breathing became rapid, and his hands clenched involuntarily, revealing the veins on the back of his hands.

The opportunity to expand the divine realm is within reach, all it takes is for the Goddess of Life to cast her vote.

"Vote for me, Little Green, vote for me quickly!"

The God of Destruction cried out in his heart, anxiously awaiting the final decision of the Goddess of Life.

Tang San remained remarkably calm, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if he could accept whatever choice the Goddess of Life made with equanimity.

But beneath his calm exterior lies a tense heart.

He quietly slipped his hand into his sleeve, clenched it into a fist, and his palms were already damp with sweat. Only he knew the extent of his nervousness.

In the eyes of the gods, the goddess of life and the god of destruction were a couple, and everyone believed that the goddess of life would support her husband without hesitation.

The Goddess of Life's expression shifted rapidly. She gave Tang San a deep look, secretly admiring the Sea God's extraordinary demeanor.

Then, she turned to look at the God of Destruction, and seeing his anxious and expectant eyes, she couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

She said softly, "Xiao Zi, your plan is fine, and I'm happy to support you."

Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction was overjoyed, but before his joy could fully blossom, the Goddess of Life's next words plunged him into an icy abyss.

"However," the goddess of life paused, her tone becoming serious.

"What Poseidon said is also correct; this matter should not be rushed."

She looked around at everyone and said with a firm gaze,

"I think it would be better to follow the sea god's advice, take a long-term view, and proceed slowly."

Under the incredulous gaze of the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life slowly raised her hand and solemnly said:

"Although I am married to the God of Destruction, I am also one of the God Kings of the God Realm, so I will naturally stand on the most impartial side. Therefore, I choose to vote for the Sea God."

The voice of the goddess of life echoed in the hall, lingering for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Tang San, the Sea God, immediately relaxed. He subconsciously loosened his grip on his sleeve and let out a long sigh of relief.

The God of Destruction's face was ashen, his thick brows furrowed.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his angry gaze seemed to spit fire as he stared fiercely at the round table in front of him.

Ever since the sea god came to the realm of gods, his wife's attitude towards him has undergone a complete change.

In the past, no matter what he said or did, the goddess of life always looked at him gently and supported his decisions wholeheartedly.

Since the sea god arrived, she has no longer supported him as consistently as before.

What he found even more unbearable was that the Goddess of Life had begun to compare him to the Sea God, saying that the Sea God was righteous and more suitable to lead the divine realm, while he, although wholeheartedly devoted to the divine realm, was too cruel and inferior to the Sea God.

Whenever he heard these words, the God of Destruction felt as if a raging fire was burning in his heart, burning his internal organs to ashes.

However, he could only suppress his anger deep inside, because he knew that the goddess of life genuinely cared for him and did not want him to go astray.

He didn't really care; that's just his personality.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the God Kings, the God of Destruction slowly rose to his feet—
