Chapter 407 I wish I could tear you and Tang 3 apart alive; the biggest traitor is actually the Drag
"To be honest, even now, I still don't understand your true intentions. In fact, if it weren't for the suddenness of the situation and Yali's condition not allowing for any further delay, I probably wouldn't have planned to come see you two so soon."
Huo Yuhao shook his head, speaking frankly, and then looked directly at the God of Destruction and asked:
"Before coming here, Sister Yali told me that you wanted to pass on your position as the God of Destruction to me. What's going on here? I don't think I'm capable of inheriting the Godhood of Destruction."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had taken the initiative to steer the conversation toward serious matters, the God of Destruction also abandoned his slightly emotional, joking demeanor, and his expression became solemn as he directly responded:
"You do know when to advance and retreat. However, what I am about to give you is not the Destruction Godhead itself. More precisely, it is a portion of the authority that originally belonged to the Dragon God."
"Due to my agreement with the God of Asura, the time has come, and it is natural to return this authority to its rightful owner."
"The God of Asura?"
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Clearly, the Asura God mentioned by the God of Destruction is not Tang San, but the first Asura God.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's surprised and thoughtful expression, the God of Destruction smiled slightly, seeing through his thoughts.
"What's wrong? Judging from your expression, are you surprised that he will return? If it were just the disappearance of the God Realm, given the state of the Asura God when he left, he might not have been able to sense the changes in the God Realm."
But by sheer coincidence, the Asura Sword was broken in the turbulent flow of time and space. Even though the Asura God was in the universe countless billions of miles away, he could still sense it through his connection with the divine artifact.
The reason why Xiao Lü and I were able to awaken from our original seed state ahead of schedule was entirely due to his help.
At this point, the God of Destruction suddenly revealed an undisguised anger.
Even the surrounding void seemed to freeze suddenly in response to his emotional fluctuations, and an immense pressure was about to be unleashed.
"But to be honest, I had already imprisoned Tang San and his wife in the Forbidden Land of Gods. I not only successfully obtained the control key to the central hub of the God Realm, but I had even activated the psychic pillar to expand the God Realm."
If it weren't for the Golden Dragon King suddenly breaking the seal and causing trouble, and you betraying Tang San, perhaps the God Realm wouldn't have ended up shattering in the spacetime turbulence.
When I was awakened by the Asura God and learned that the God Realm had been completely shattered, do you know what my first thought was?
I wish I could tear you and Tang San apart alive; only then could I barely vent the resentment that's building up in my heart.
The Goddess of Life listened quietly, unusually refraining from uttering a word to refute the seemingly heartless words of the God of Destruction.
Recalling the upheaval in the God Realm, they initially thought that the calamity in the God Realm that Tang San kept prophesying was the Golden Dragon King breaking the seal and escaping.
The outer defenses of the divine realm, which were in a state of greatly expanded mental power, became extremely fragile and could not withstand the Golden Dragon King's frenzied rampage and destruction.
But when she and the God of Destruction finally managed to suppress the rampaging Golden Dragon King again, they discovered that the core of the Golden Dragon King's body had already been transferred to Huo Yuhao.
Moreover, during this chaotic interlude, Huo Yuhao took advantage of everyone's attention being diverted to secretly sneak into the God Realm's central hub, intending to use its power to revive the auspicious beast.
But who could have predicted that the sudden spatial turbulence would be the real catastrophe capable of destroying the realm of gods?
At the critical moment of life and death, she and the God of Destruction chose to return to their original source as a price, and their resonance generated the power of creation, which barely stabilized the collapsing divine realm.
Subsequently, they entrusted the entire God Realm to Tang San, hoping that he could lead the gods through the crisis.
Who would have thought that Huo Yuhao would drag Tang San down with him into the temporal turbulence and perish together?
Lieyan and Jidong, who arrived too late, were completely powerless to lead the God Realm in resisting this spacetime turbulence that was capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. As a result, the God Realm was completely shattered.
"So what happened after that that made you, God of Destruction, change your mind about tearing me apart?"
Huo Yuhao was not affected by the oppressive feeling emanating from the stagnant void around him, and still asked the question in a humble and dignified manner.
The God of Destruction was surprised to find that his extremely intimidating aura had not frightened Huo Yuhao at all.
Thinking of the emotional divine power the other party possessed, he could only helplessly pick up the teacup on the table, take a small sip, and then sigh softly.
"It was the Asura God who told me some of the hidden truths from back then, which made me change my mind. Huo Yuhao, do you know anything about the past of the Divine Dragon Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao visibly tensed for a moment, but he maintained a cautious attitude and carefully chose his words as he replied:
"I only learned a few words from a friend. But I also know that the same thing can lead to completely different answers depending on the angle and perspective."
What I know is that the God Realm originated from the Dragon God Realm, and the core authority held by the four God Kings, apart from the Asura God, can be traced back to the original Dragon God.
Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of surprise in their eyes.
The goddess of life responded softly, "It seems that the friend you speak of is no ordinary person, as he knows these secrets."
It must be a being that has existed since the time of the Divine Dragon Realm and has survived to this day. If it is not a god, then it can only be a soul beast from the lower realm.
"Given Huo Yuhao's current special status as a half-dragon god incarnation, having fused with a divine core, his so-called friends are probably just the soul beasts who survived the Divine Star Ceremony by sheer luck."
"And now I can tell you the truth: it is precisely because of this special identity you possess that the God of Asura made a special agreement with me after awakening me."
The God of Destruction put down his teacup, his expression becoming extremely solemn, and said in a deep voice:
"Since the time when the Divine Dragon Realm still existed, the Asura God was valued by the Dragon God for his talent. As a result, he was able to stand out as a human and cultivate into an extremely rare human god-king."
It can be said that the Asura God has always been the most loyal subject under the Dragon God, and he has always hoped that a new Dragon God would be born, capable of elevating the divine realm into a divine star.
The God of Destruction paused, his gaze fixed intently on Huo Yuhao, and continued, "The Golden Dragon King's core energy fortuitously merged into your body..."
In the eyes of the Asura God, this was the opportunity for the Dragon God to be reborn.
That's why he wanted me to return the power that originally belonged to the Dragon God to you after I awoke. It was also to see if you had the ability to embark on the path to becoming the next generation of Dragon God.
At this point, the Myth of Destruction's tone shifted again, a hint of coldness in his voice: "But don't be too happy yet. No matter what your future holds, you ultimately killed Tang San."
Tang San was originally chosen by the God of Asura to succeed to the position of God of Asura. Therefore, regarding Tang Hao's desperate attempt to revive Tang San, Xiao Lü and I made a pact with the God of Asura.
That is, in this process, no one will actively intervene to help or stop the fight between the two sides.
If you are outmatched in this contest, and Tang San is successfully resurrected, but you are unfortunately defeated and killed, then you will be in trouble.
The Asura God will take the Golden Dragon King's core from your body and then give it to the other half of the Dragon God. In any case, for the Asura God, the ultimate goal is for a new Dragon God to be successfully born.
As for why you were chosen in the first place, it was simply because of your human identity. In the eyes of the God of Asura, perhaps you had a bit more potential than a pure soul beast.
After hearing these words, Huo Yuhao managed to sort out most of the complicated information.
However, a lingering doubt still arose deep in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask, "Actually, I've always been curious about something."
Of the original five god-kings, only the Asura God was human. Under such circumstances, why would the god realm still establish a rule prohibiting beasts from the lower realm from becoming gods?
Or is there some unknown secret behind the demise of the Divine Dragon Realm?
Huo Yuhao had not forgotten that the Rakshasa God had previously speculated that the extremely large evil intent contained in the Golden Dragon King's divine core was generated after the fall of all gods, and was not something that the Dragon God himself possessed or deliberately nurtured.
This undoubtedly shows that what Di Tian told him about the human gods betraying the dragon race while the dragon god was out of control during the Divine Star Ceremony was probably not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Life shook her head and gently replied, "The demise of the Divine Dragon Realm does indeed have a complex and hidden story. However, what you just said, that only the first generation of Asura Gods was a human deity, is not an accurate statement."
The first generation of gods of good and evil were the three human god-kings who existed alongside the first generation of the Asura God during the era of the Divine Dragon Realm.
Later, the Dragon God split into the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, and the four core powers he possessed—destruction, life, goodness, and evil—further differentiated into the four primordial seeds.
The two seeds, one of good and one of evil, fell into the hands of the two human god-kings. It was during the fusion of these seeds that their life forms gradually underwent a non-human transformation.
In a sense, Xiao Zi and I are also children born from the power that split off from the Dragon God.
In a sense, Xiao Zi and I are also children born from the power that split off from the Dragon God.
"So now you should understand why you don't need to worry that Xiao Lü and I have ulterior motives towards you, right?"
The God of Destruction said calmly, "As for the matter you are concerned about—that soul beasts cannot become gods—the control key to the central hub of the divine realm was initially held by the gods of good and evil."
After they left, it was handed over to Tang San. I don't know if they discussed the real inside story with Tang San during this time.
But before the Asura God returned to tell us the truth, Xiao Lü and I, like you, always believed that the restrictions were set up by the central authority of the God Realm, thus limiting the path of advancement for beasts in the lower realm.
But in reality, the reason why soul beasts cannot become gods is because the Dragon God made a vow before his fall.
Unless a new Dragon God is reborn, all beasts within the original Dragon God Realm's domain that aspire to godhood will be subject to the limitations of the universe's laws.
"?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt countless question marks appear in his mind.
Even those who had been listening intently to the conversation outside while staying in the sea of consciousness were all stunned and remained in a daze for a long time.
Hyotei, in particular, couldn't believe what they had just heard.
The reason why soul beasts cannot become gods is not because they are deliberately suppressed and restricted by the gods of the divine realm, but because the Dragon God, who was originally worshipped as a totem by all beasts, set the rules on his own initiative.
Ice Emperor had no doubt that if Di Tian, who had once followed the Dragon God and held him in the highest esteem, heard what the God of Destruction had just said, he would be able to understand the situation.
He would probably be so angry that he would jump up and down on the spot, pointing his finger at the God of Destruction and cursing him, believing that the other party was simply slandering the glorious image of the Dragon God without any bottom line.
It's fake. How could that be? It must be a lie fabricated by the God of Destruction to shirk responsibility.
When they thought of what Di Tian had told them, they realized that during the time when the Divine Dragon Realm still existed, beasts not only had a unique innate advantage in cultivation, but also had a smooth and successful life.
It wouldn't be as tragic as it is now, where every time someone reaches a cultivation level of 100,000 years, they are forced to undergo a terrifying tribulation with a life-or-death chance.
Ice Empress recalled those of her clansmen who had been reduced to ashes by the lightning tribulation, and even she herself had suffered severe damage to her origins by forcibly undergoing the heavenly tribulation.
Thinking of these tragic past events, she was overwhelmed with grief and could not control herself.
If that's true, then isn't the Dragon God completely out of his mind?
Where can you find a leader who harms his own people and cuts off the future hope of the entire ethnic group?
Huo Yuhao's expression was also not good at this moment, and his brows were also tightly furrowed.
Clearly, he never imagined that the Dragon God, revered by so many soul beasts in this universe, would be the biggest traitor who led the beast race to this state.
But as he himself said before, the answer to a matter may be completely different depending on the angle and perspective.
Perhaps behind this seemingly irrational behavior lies some unknown hardship or the profound wisdom of the Dragon God.
As his thoughts raced, Huo Yuhao asked with a mixture of uncertainty and inquiry:
"Two God-Kings, are you so sure that everything the First Asura God told you is the whole truth of what happened back then?"
Although the first Asura God claimed to be a loyal subject of the Dragon God, if I remember correctly, during his time as an enforcer of the divine realm...
Within the divine realm, the surviving divine beasts are still subjected to extremely harsh repression; he has never shown them any substantial kindness.
