NOVEL NEXT Chapter 191: Tang San "My Intentions Were Good, My Parents Just Made Mistakes in Execution"
"It seems you have no clear understanding of a God King's power. Don't worry, while I will punish you and Tang Hao, according to the laws of the God Realm, I will not kill you," said the God of Destruction.
For him, capturing Tang Hao and Ah Yin was a strategic move.
He realized he could use this incident to challenge Tang San in the God Realm Committee.
After all, Tang San had used the divine core of the God Realm to shield his parents' crimes for personal gain, blatantly disregarding divine law.
The most crucial requirement for controlling the divine core was impartiality. But now, it was evident that Tang San was no longer fit to hold such power.
With that thought, the God of Destruction grabbed Ah Yin, tore through space, and brought her to where Tang Hao was detained.
Then, without delay, he sped toward the God Realm. He could hardly wait to convene a meeting of the God Kings and contest Tang San's control over the divine core.
At the Golden Tree
Mu En's mind was in turmoil.
The moment that purple robed figure had appeared, Mu En knew that something serious was happening.
The aura emanating from the stranger was so overwhelming that even he, an Ultimate Douluo, was completely paralyzed.
Taking a deep breath, Mu En realized
"Even the strongest being on Douluo Continent, Di Tian, wouldn't be able to suppress me with just his aura.
"This means that purple robed man is undoubtedly a deity! But is he stronger or weaker than our ancestor, Tang San?"
But then, recalling what the deity had just said, Mu En's heart turned cold.
"Did Ah Yin really devour the souls of past Shrek elders to accelerate her fusion with the Golden Tree?
"If that's true, then what does it mean for all the past Pavilion Masters of the Sea God's Pavilion who merged their souls with the Golden Tree for the sake of the academy?"
A deep sadness filled Mu En's aged face, his disappointment evident.
For generations, the Pavilion Masters of the Sea God's Pavilion had sacrificed themselves for the academy by merging with the Golden Tree.
But no matter how powerful they had been in life, their souls never lasted beyond a hundred years.
His own teacher, the previous Pavilion Master, had disappeared in just two years far shorter than any of his predecessors.
Back then, Mu En couldn't understand why.
His teacher had been an Ultimate Douluo, a powerhouse among Pavilion Masters.
Now, the answer was clear Ah Yin must have accelerated his teacher's demise by devouring his soul.
Mu En's breathing became ragged, his eyes turned red.
For the first time in his life, he truly hated his own weakness.
If only he had been stronger how would Ah Yin have dared to commit such an atrocity?
"Tang San… No, not 'ancestor' Tang San knew about this.
"He had to have known.
"After all, he was the one who brought the Golden Tree to Shrek Academy. And Ah Yin was his mother.
"If he hadn't allowed it, how could she have done such a thing?
"My reverence for Tang San… what was it all for?"
Mu En clenched his fists, filled with boiling fury.
For a brief moment, he even considered seeking revenge against Tang San and Ah Yin for the ancestors of Shrek.
But then, his fists loosened.
Revenge? Against a god?
How could he even begin to imagine such a thing?
He was nothing more than a mere Ultimate Douluo, far too insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
Mu En knew very little about the gods.
He was aware that Tang San held both the Sea God and Asura God positions, but he had no idea which was more powerful.
After all, Shrek Academy's records contained no such information.
"For the sake of the academy… I must endure."
Mu En had lived long enough to know better than to let rage cloud his judgment.
Right now, what mattered most was the future of Shrek Academy.
God Realm Committee
The five God Kings had gathered, their expressions grim.
The God of Destruction had brought Tang Hao and Ah Yin before them, along with undeniable evidence of their crimes.
Staring at Tang San, the God of Destruction declared,
"Tang San, with your help, your father attempted to become the Plane's ruler, severely damaging the Plane's consciousness.
"Meanwhile, your mother tried to become its Life Core, harming the Golden Tree and even devouring souls.
"Both actions are direct violations of divine law.
"If they had succeeded, wouldn't Douluo Star have essentially become your family's personal domain?
"As such, they must be punished.
"In my opinion, their divine consciousness should be extracted and imprisoned in my realm, where they will be tormented by my destruction energy for a thousand days."
Tang San's expression darkened.
Unable to suppress his anger any longer, he shouted,
"Destruction, you are twisting the truth!
"My intentions were good my parents just made mistakes in execution.
"Everything we did was for the development of Douluo Star!"
In his past life, Tang San had grown up as an orphan.
After reincarnating into Douluo Continent, he had gained parents, and he cherished that familial bond deeply.
Even as a child, when he had to cook for himself, he had never once complained.
"Good intentions?"
The God of Destruction scoffed.
"Tang San, actions have consequences.
"If your parents had succeeded in their plans, they would have taken control of the two most important aspects of Douluo Star's existence.
"The lives of all beings on that planet would have been irreversibly altered.
"Remember gods must not interfere with the mortal world!"
The God of Destruction then turned to the other God Kings and continued,
"And you, Tang San, also broke the rules by using the divine core for personal gain.
"When you took control of the divine core, you swore to two other God Kings that you would act with absolute fairness and never use it for selfish purposes.
"Yet here you are, abusing that power.
"You, too, must be punished.
"Let us vote."
The God Realm Committee operated on a voting system.
Previously, the three Enforcer Gods had one vote each, while the two original God Kings each had two votes.
In The Wine God, when the three Enforcer Gods encountered the original Kindness and Evil Gods, they had respectfully greeted them as "Lord God Kings."
After those two left the God Realm, the new system was implemented each of the five God Kings now held one vote.
For Tang San, his best chance of avoiding punishment was to secure the support of the other God Kings.
Glancing at his fellow rulers, he sought any sign of alliance.
The second generation Evil God, Ji Dong, sighed.
"Sea God… There's no denying it you and your parents were in the wrong.
"I stand with Destruction."
The second generation Kindness God, Lie Yan, nodded.
"I also support Destruction's decision."
The Goddess of Life cast a disappointed gaze at Tang San before saying,
"Tang San, I believe Little Purple is right this time.
"You and your parents made grave mistakes.
"And when someone makes a mistake… they must be punished."
The God of Destruction smiled slightly.
"That's four votes in favor of punishment.
"Your parents will be punished as I described."
Then, his crimson eyes locked onto Tang San.
"As for your punishment, it is quite simple
"Hand over the divine core.
"You are no longer fit to control it.
"The matter of who will take control will be discussed separately."
Of course, stripping Tang San of his divine consciousness and imprisoning him was out of the question.
He was a God King, after all.
Pushing him too far might trigger a war within the God Realm itself.
But removing him from power?
That was more than possible.
