Chapter 567: Encirclement from the God Realm
The next moment, the pupils of the God of Destruction suddenly contracted, and the purple-black power of destruction surged around him. He suddenly felt that the seal between him and Tang San's body had been cut off.
"Go!" There was anger in his voice. Fortunately, the divination by the Goddess of Life showed that it was a good omen, otherwise he would have lost control by now.
The seal that the God of Destruction had placed on Tang San was extremely special. Even when Tang San asked Oscar to split his soul with the Pseudo-Ashura Sword, it could not be shaken at all. Instead, the God of Destruction became aware of it, and Tang San's plan to turn the tables completely failed.
The reason the God of Destruction was so furious was that ordinary seals were completely useless against Tang San, who possessed dual godhood. Even if they succeeded, the effect would only last for a short time. He had even used the power of the Forbidden Land to seal Tang San, but now that the Golden Dragon King was gone, calling upon the power there would not cause any harm.
In the divine realm, completely stripping a deity of its power is the most severe punishment. For a deity without divine power, even survival in the divine realm becomes extremely difficult.
The same punishment befell Xiao Wu and Tang San's other accomplices. After Xiao Wu's pregnancy was stripped of her divine power and rejected by the divine realm's life force, miscarriage was inevitable. However, at this moment, Xiao Wu's sudden attack coincided with the breaking of Tang San's seal, immediately alerting the God of Destruction.
The God of Destruction suddenly realized that Tang San had chosen this moment deliberately, intending to use his unborn child as bait for a desperate fight. Back then, he could scheme against his wife and children for power, and now, naturally, he could use his flesh and blood as a bargaining chip.
"Very well, Tang San. This isn't the first time you've exploited your wife and child. You're as despicable as ever." The God of Destruction chuckled in anger, but wasn't surprised. After all, the timing of Tang San getting Xiao Wu pregnant was intriguing; he clearly intended to use the unborn child to gain their sympathy and leave himself a way out.
Xiao Wu's shrill wails could be heard in the distance. This time, Tang San had gambled on the lives of his wife and children, but in the eyes of the God of Destruction, this was just another dead end for Tang San and his accomplices.
The cell holding Tang San and Xiao Wu had been completely breached, leaving several guarding priests dead on the scene. The God of Desire quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "Lord, please forgive me. I failed to anticipate that Tang San would be able to break through your seal. The God of Pride and several other Gods of Original Sin have already gone in pursuit. I will remain here to prevent anyone else from escaping."
The God of Destruction glanced across the cell. Xiao Wu, who was dying, was holding a premature baby covered in blood and with purple skin in her arms. In the cell on the other side, Ning Rongrong and Oscar, who were sealed and imprisoned, were still in shock. It was obvious that Tang San had abandoned them again when he escaped.
"Which direction did you escape to?" The God of Destruction glanced coldly at Oscar and the other two who were stunned. "How can someone who doesn't even care about his wife and children care about you?"
"The Forbidden Land!" The God of Desire replied hastily, "He went to the Forbidden Land!"
The God of Destruction understood that the other half of Tang San's soul was sealed there.
"What did I say? Again!" He sneered. "It's normal for you not to know. When a god's offspring is born, they absorb the mind power of the divine realm. In the process of integrating with this world, the blood aura they emit is exactly the same as that of their parents. Tang San used the power of his own bloodline in his son's umbilical cord blood, and at the same time, he mobilized the power of the Sea God and the Asura God, forcibly breaking through the seal I set from the outside in."
The gods suddenly realized that although the God of Destruction had no biological offspring, he had hatched dragon eggs with the Goddess of Life! He naturally knew this possibility, but he once again overestimated Tang San's bottom line and even let Xiao Wu give birth early to obtain umbilical cord blood to break the seal.
The Goddess of Life gazed at Xiao Wu's pale face. She could clearly sense the decay emanating from her body. The baby in Xiao Wu's arms had its eyes tightly closed, not even a cry uttered, its vitality rapidly draining away.
"Xiaolu...save Linlin..." Xiaowu stretched out her hand to the Goddess of Life, her breath weak, "Only you can..."
"A dying man is indeed out of his mind!" The God of Destruction interrupted her coldly.
"The child is innocent..." Xiao Wu pleaded with her last bit of strength, "As long as you save him... I... I will allow you to adopt him..." Her voice gradually became weaker, but she still stared at the Goddess of Life stubbornly.
"Don't be fooled!" Ning Rongrong suddenly screamed, her voice particularly harsh in the cell, "Tang San placed a restriction on that evil offspring before he escaped! If you raise him, he will bite you back sooner or later!"
"You...you...bitch..." Xiao Wu struggled to pounce, but she didn't even have the strength to lift a finger. The baby in her arms suddenly let out a faint sob, and an abnormal flush appeared on its purple face, as if confirming Ning Rongrong's warning.
The God of Destruction glanced at the God of Desire, who immediately understood and stepped forward to snatch the baby from Xiao Wu's arms. Her fingers, as white as jade and as green as scallions, pressed against the baby's brow, instantly activating a deep blue trident divine pattern.
"No... give me back my child!" Xiao Wu let out a heartbreaking wail, her bloodstained hands scratching deep, bloody marks on the cold ground. She dragged her bleeding lower body forward like a dying beast, trying to reclaim her child.
"Your wife's mother is not your mother. You are not even qualified to be a mother!" The Goddess of Life raised her hand, and a green light curtain isolated Xiao Wu.
"When Third Brother regains his strength... he won't let you go..." Xiao Wu murmured weakly, her distracted eyes wandering between the God of Destruction and Ning Rongrong, unable to tell who she was cursing.
The God of Destruction turned a deaf ear to her threats, but Ning Rongrong and Oscar suddenly realized that from the time he learned that Tang San had fled to the forbidden land of the gods until now, the God of Destruction had never taken any measures.
Although the Sea God was a first-level god, with only half of his soul left, how much of his strength could Tang San display? At most, he could only kill a few priests to vent his anger.
Sure enough, they heard the God of Destruction say leisurely to the God of Desire: "Since the God of Pride and the others have already gone in pursuit, I believe they will soon be able to meet up with the God of Law Enforcement stationed in the forbidden land of the gods, right?" His tone was so relaxed as if he was talking about a hunt that had been arranged long ago.
The Goddess of Life reminded: "Don't forget what is in the Forbidden Land of the Gods. If Tang San wants to merge with his other half of his soul, he must first face those beast gods who were forced to be downgraded to divine beasts after the Dragon God Rebellion."
The God of Destruction smiled meaningfully: "Of course I know, so I have already made arrangements."
The Divine Realm is vast, its deities numerous. Although Tang San had temporarily escaped, if he reappeared, the gods would only actively report his whereabouts. After all, the God of Destruction had already been making Tang San's every action known to the public. Add to that Xiao Wu's previous brazen behavior at the Law Enforcement Temple, and those recordings had already spread throughout the Divine Realm. From the Divine King down to the priests, everyone had witnessed the true character of this so-called Divine King's wife.
The Goddess of Desire held the premature baby in her arms and looked hesitantly at the God of Destruction: "My Lord, then this..." She tactfully did not ask the Goddess of Life for her opinion. After all, as one of the Gods of Original Sin, she only had to obey the orders of her immediate superior, the God of Destruction.
"Get rid of it." The God of Destruction's tone was as calm as if he was telling her to throw away a piece of trash. "Don't forget what you said."
"Yes, sir." The God of Desire bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left with the child amid Xiao Wu's heart-wrenching cries and Ning Rongrong's shrill laughter.
The Goddess of Life looked down at Xiao Wu condescendingly, then averted her gaze coldly, as if looking at her for even a second longer would taint her own eyes. After the God of Desire took the child away, the last shred of pity in her eyes vanished.
Even for a god, normal childbirth wouldn't deplete her essence. But Xiao Wu, in order to allow Tang San to obtain the child's umbilical cord blood and break the seal, burned her own life essence to induce premature labor. This price was enough to shake her life and even her soul. But she had sacrificed herself for Tang San back then, so what did this sacrifice mean now?
This time, however, the birth of the newborn child did not attract the blessing of the gods. Aside from the Goddess of Life, who wielded the power of creation, no one noticed the impending death of the Son of God. He didn't even have time to open his eyes and see the world.
Tang San crossed the mountain range and stopped at a peak. He gazed at the mist-shrouded forest in the distance, feeling the rapidly fading vitality of his blood relatives. A gloomy look flashed in his eyes: "Destruction, you really do like to do things to the extreme!"
Beyond the mountain peaks, a lush primeval forest greets the view. A winding river weaves through the forest, its rising mist tinged with eerie colors, a glimpse of unknown danger. While the surface appears vibrant, hidden beneath are countless swamps, harbouring the aura of powerful mythical beasts.
Tang San was well aware of the God of Destruction's plan. By sealing his other half, the soul that held the Shura Godhood, here, he was using the forbidden power of the Forbidden Land to slowly wear away his divine power. Even with Xiao Wu as his scabbard, he would ultimately be powerless to reverse the situation.
The sudden approach of several powerful auras from behind made Tang San no longer hesitate. He leaped into the forest. With his spiritual sense fully activated, he accurately avoided the habitats of the divine beasts and rushed towards the core area. To his surprise, not a single divine beast along the way could detect his presence.
Deep within the forest, a lake, approximately five hundred meters in diameter, overflowed with countless tributaries. A pale green mist drifted across the surface, and amidst the rich aura of life, a twenty-meter-tall stone pillar stood in the center, its summit as majestic as a castle.
When Tang San's spiritual consciousness touched the stone pillar, a familiar and powerful spiritual fluctuation shattered it.
This is it! He was delighted and flew towards the lake at high speed.
Although the forest is vast, he can reach the lake in less than a quarter of an hour at his speed. Although he senses that there is danger lurking in the lake, he has no choice at this moment. But it doesn't matter, because he, Tang San, has never lost in a gambling game.
Of course, the Silver Dragon King incident was an exception. The other party hadn't really intended to bet with him, so it couldn't really be called a bet.
However, just as he was halfway through his journey, an inexplicable palpitation made him subconsciously slow down. Before he could react, the ground suddenly erupted with a terrifying suction force. Even with the cultivation of a first-level god, this sudden pull caught him off guard and sent his body plummeting uncontrollably towards the ground.
A golden light flashed in Tang San's hand, and the Seagod Trident suddenly appeared. Azure divine power rippled out, fiercely resisting the terrifying suction from the ground. But even with the power of the Seagod, he was eventually forced to fall back to the ground.
As soon as he landed, the strange yellow soil wrapped around him like a living thing, its powerful suction seemingly dragging him underground. Tang San immediately activated his trident, draining all the moisture from the soil. The dehydrated soil began to harden, finally halting his downward trend.
He suddenly withdrew his spiritual sense, concentrating his perception on the small area beneath his feet. A purple light flashed in his eyes, and the Seagod Trident burst into a dazzling golden light, fiercely piercing the yellow earth. However, the next second, the entire earth trembled violently, and the hard soil suddenly surged like waves, throwing Tang San into the air.
The forest floor, hundreds of meters in radius, lit up with a blindingly bright yellow light. With a deep roar, a ten-meter-tall earthen giant rose from the ground. It lacked facial features, its entire body composed entirely of a strange yellow earth, emitting a startling earth elemental fluctuation.
A quagmire monster? Tang San's heart trembled. This alien creature from the divine realm possessed the strength of a second-level deity, second only to the Earth God in terms of control over the earth element. But the quagmire monster was always gentle, so why would it suddenly attack him?
"Roar--" Two cracks suddenly appeared on the mud monster's head, revealing a pair of dark red eyes. The violent aura surging in those eyes made Tang San feel like he was falling into an ice cave.
It was a thought of destruction! The God of Destruction could actually control even this peaceful creature from the divine realm. Was he really going to kill him completely?
But this was completely illogical. His newborn child and Xiao Wu were clearly still in the cell, so how could the Goddess of Life sit idly by and do nothing? He deliberately left his wife and child behind, calculating that the Goddess of Life would be merciful and would first save the dying baby. This should have bought him precious time, except...
Unless the God of Destruction didn't care about the child at all! This realization chilled Tang San's heart. Could it be that even the Goddess of Life had acquiesced to the God of Destruction's actions? Or had the God of Destruction, who always respected his wife, actually ignored his partner's wishes this time?
The golden light of the Seagod Trident in Tang San's hand surged, and a wave of unpredictable wind suddenly released, temporarily restraining the movement of the mud monster. He didn't care about fighting any longer, and immediately turned into a stream of light and rushed into the depths of the forest.
This vast primeval forest is teeming with dangers, home to countless mythical beasts. Though their power is no longer what it once was, with not even a single one reaching the level of a first-level deity, their strength lies in their sheer numbers. Even more terrifying is the fact that the God of Destruction's will can influence every living thing in the entire forest!
Behind him came the roars of beasts, and Tang San's consciousness sensed that countless divine beasts were awakening from their slumber. Their eyes were filled with the same dark red light as the mud monster. The entire forest seemed to have transformed into a giant living creature, encircling him.
I'm fed up. Someone reported me for plagiarizing the original work before, and now someone is giving me a bad review saying I copied the male version. There must be something wrong with these people's ancestors.
