Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 280: The God of Destruction's Excitement

"Douluo Continent?!" The Goddess of Life was conflicted again. Why was it always this trivial planet? Damn it! The two god-kings fighting outside were at loggerheads because of this insignificant place. Even though the Goddess of Life sensed that someone on Douluo Continent might be capable of inheriting her godly position, she was still hesitant to make a decision. It's just too chaotic! After much hesitation, she sighed deeply, adjusted the stockings on her jade feet, and decided against passing on her godship. Damn it!

At that moment, the presence of life force she'd detected vanished completely, signifying that she'd lost any connection to the potential inheritor. "Such is fate," she muttered wryly, isolating the Temple of Life with her divine power and busying herself with tending to the various plants inside.

While the Goddess of Life turned inward, the God of Destruction, fighting with Tang San, was electrified. The destruction divine power he was conjuring even trembled slightly, and a glob of it shot out... splattering right onto Tang San's face. "Destruction, you...!" Tang San's sea-blue hair was instantly fried into a frizzy mess. Rubbing the scorched hair on his head, his eyes reddened with anger. "Idiot, there's a saying, 'Don't hit the face!'" "I can't be bothered to argue with you. I've got urgent matters, let's fight some other time!" The God of Destruction wasn't in the mood to deal with Tang San's mood swings. With a burst of excited energy, he disappeared on the spot, appearing the next second in his own Temple of Destruction.

Look at what he'd discovered! Divine energy of destruction! He had actually sensed an extremely pure form of destruction energy on Douluo Continent. By all that's holy. Unlike what Poi Du Qianjue imagined, the God of Destruction, while diligent and focused on his divine duties, still wanted to pass on his godship because he and the Goddess of Life wanted to have a child! It wasn't just about the conflict between life and destruction attributes, but also about the clash of their godships. If he could pass on his godship, he and the Goddess of Life could use their divine powers to neutralize the conflict and successfully have a child!

Besides, passing on his godship doesn't mean he would have to leave the divine realm. Even after passing it on, he could still stay to aid the realm's development, much like Rong Nianbing in the original stories. Gods who formed their own godships, like him, had reached the limits of what their godships could offer; the godships were more of a hindrance than a help.

It was like growing a tree in a greenhouse; the sapling needs the greenhouse for protection to grow swiftly at first, but once the tree reaches its full size and can protect itself, the greenhouse becomes an obstacle. The God of Destruction had long wanted to discard his godship but had not found a suitable successor due to his high standards.

But now things were different. An excellent talent on the lower realms who could condense the power of destruction on his own was a perfect match for his godship; it was a match made in heaven. Concerned about his offspring, the God of Destruction had no interest in continuing his petty squabbles with Tang San. Eager to proceed, he exerted his full power through the Staff of Destruction to pinpoint the location of the destruction energy.

Soon, he had a location locked down. "That is... Douluo Continent?" The God of Destruction raised an eyebrow, looking at a spot in the icy northern wastes of the planet, stroking his chin. "Hell, this is a blessing indeed!" The very same lower world Tang San kept meddling with. He could just throw a godship trial to this lad down below, set up the trials to dismantle Tang San's safeguards one by one, and fully strip him of his control over Douluo Continent. Then he'd continue to suppress him in the divine realm.

Perfect, wasn't it? The God of Destruction clapped his hands together, his eyes gleaming with brilliance. He was just too rational! However, he couldn't make this decision alone; he needed to consult his wife. Without delay, he sped to the Temple of Life. His wife's temple wouldn't bar him, allowing him easy access.

Seeing the Goddess of Life watering plants, the God of Destruction laughed heartily as he swept her into his arms, his voice trembling with excitement, "My dear Green, I've found the successor! We can have children very soon!" The Goddess of Life froze, her watering can dropping helplessly to the ground, her face a complex mix of joy, confusion, shyness, and disbelief. "Are you serious, my dear Purple?" she asked, hope lighting up her eyes. "Absolutely!" affirmed the God of Destruction.

"Fantastic! We can finally have children!" Tears of joy welled in the Goddess of Life's eyes, blurring her vision as pearls of tears rolled down her cheeks. Watching his wife cover her mouth as she wept with joy, devoid of any divine dignity and just a tender woman, the God of Destruction held her tight, soothing her gently, feeling a mix of elation and guilt.

After calming her excitement, the Goddess of Life wiped her tears and stood up, looking at him earnestly, "Where is this successor from? How talented is he?" "My successor, naturally, is incredibly gifted!" boasted the God of Destruction, pride swelling in his voice, "He managed to condense the power of destruction on his own in the lower realms without ascending to godhood. His talent is unmatched across the divine realms!"

The Goddess of Life's smile persisted, but as she listened, her expression turned increasingly perplexed. "So, which world is he from?" "Douluo Continent!" The God of Destruction punched the air, a flash of deep purple thunder in his eyes, "Yes, the very same Douluo Continent that Tang San keeps interfering with! By passing my godship to him, not only can I break free from the shackles of godhood and have children with you, but I can also completely sever Tang San's grasp on Douluo Continent!"

Douluo… Continent?? The Goddess of Life turned to stone. What a coincidence!

"Hmm? What's that expression, my dear Green?" Seeing his wife's hesitance, the God of Destruction frowned slightly, puzzled. "Well... I also sensed a potential inheritor for my godship on Douluo Continent just now," the Goddess of Life said with a resigned smile. "What?" The God of Destruction's eyes widened.

The divine couple looked at each other and simultaneously activated their super artifacts—the Staff of Destruction and the Tree of Life. Pouring vast amounts of divine power into these artifacts, green light and purple thunder mingled, eventually forming a light screen with an image. Why was there only one screen?

Both were taken aback and then focused intently on the screen, which showed an icy, snow-covered landscape.
