Chapter 263: The Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm Gather to Discuss the Beast God Matter
"Was the divine energy fluctuation just now really caused by the appearance of a Beast God?"
"It can't be wrong."
"But how is that possible? Under our restrictions, it shouldn't be possible to happen."
"Could it be related to the Silver Dragon King who was once the Dragon God's good side, who fled the Divine Realm?" said the Good God.
The Evil God replied, "It's not impossible."
"Right now, I've already dispatched the Divine Realm's enforcement team to investigate Douluo's mortal realm. If we really find that there are Beast Gods in the mortal realm, what do you think we should do?" The Shura God's gaze changed, his voice deep with meaning as he asked.
There was a hint of barely noticeable murderous intent in his eyes.
Although it was very faint, the Good God noticed it, and only he noticed.
The five great God Kings of the Divine Realm—Shura God, God of Destruction, Evil God, Good God, and Goddess of Life—were all God Kings, all members of the Divine Realm Council, and the highest administrators of the Divine Realm.
But in truth, they all had their own thoughts, methods, and agendas. In many cases, their opinions were not always in agreement, and they often had differences, especially when it came to important matters.
So, even if the Shura God had his own thoughts and killing intent, he would not act alone immediately. He had to consult with the other God Kings to make a decision. After all, the Divine Realm wasn't just under the Shura God's rule.
The Good God hesitated for a moment before speaking first, "Shura God, what do you think we should do? We have regulations in the Divine Realm that prevent us from interfering in the mortal realm's affairs."
The Shura God replied, "But if there are indeed Beast Gods in the mortal realm, then they are divinities, gods. This is no longer a matter for the mortal realm and should be under our jurisdiction in the Divine Realm."
"Hehe."
The God of Destruction laughed, "Shura God is right. If there are indeed Beast Gods in the mortal realm, then how can it still be considered their problem? Of course, we can intervene."
At this moment, the Goddess of Life spoke up, and this was the most critical question in the conversation, "Let's get straight to the point. If we do find these Beast Gods, do you want to eliminate them or leave them and bring them into the Douluo Divine Realm?"
The Goddess of Life directly pointed out that their discussion was essentially about whether to kill them or not.
Since the topic was out in the open, the Shura God no longer hid his thoughts and spoke bluntly, "When I killed the Dragon God during the Divine Realm war, the Divine Realm established a rule."
"If the Dragon God doesn't reappear, and the Dragon Clan doesn't revive, soul beasts must not become gods. As long as there is no Dragon God in Douluo's mortal realm, we should eliminate all the Beast Gods who have already become divinities in the mortal realm."
"That's right! I agree with the Shura God," said the God of Destruction, who was the first to approve of Shura's statement.
"I also agree with the Shura God. If there is no Dragon God, then there should be no Beast Gods," said the Evil God, also voicing his opinion.
With the topic now clarified, the thoughts of the five great God Kings were clearly laid out. The Shura God, God of Destruction, and Evil God did not want the existence of Beast Gods. They all wanted to eliminate them.
But the Good God and Goddess of Life held different opinions.
The Good God said, "This is not right. Just because there is no Dragon God, does that mean we should exterminate them? They've only tried to become gods; what's wrong with that? If we kill them just for this reason, I think it's wrong."
The Goddess of Life was silent for a moment before agreeing, "Shura, Destruction, and Evil, back then, we only said soul beasts should not become gods, but we didn't say that the Beast Gods that have already become gods should be killed, did we?"
"We've only blocked and prevented the path for soul beasts to become gods, making it impossible for them to ascend. But now, if they've become gods under our very noses, we have no reason to act against them, right? That rule never said that we should kill those soul beasts who have already become divinities."
"They may not be humans, but they are still living beings! We can stop soul beasts from becoming gods, but we can't kill them once they have ascended."
"You're too kind, Good and Life," the Shura God shook his head and said seriously, "Beasts are inherently violent, impulsive, and combative, unlike humans who are stable and easier to manage. They could easily cause problems in the Divine Realm."
"If we accept these Beast Gods, it would mean that the Divine Realm recognizes the existence of beasts. In the future, if many more potential beast candidates emerge in the mortal realm, these Beast Gods may try to bring them into the Divine Realm. Won't the number of Beast Gods in the Divine Realm grow?"
"If we stop them, won't these Beast Gods rebel and attack the human gods?"
"Or perhaps these Beast Gods have ambitions of reviving their race and taking control of the Divine Realm?"
"This..."
The Shura God continued, "Humans and beasts are fundamentally different species. Let's not talk about those. Among us gods, many already have an extreme aversion to the existence of Beast Gods."
"If we accept these Beast Gods, do you think the gods of the Divine Realm will coexist peacefully with them?"
"Won't this lead to battles and chaos?"
"We've long gotten used to a Divine Realm without Beast Gods, a Divine Realm completely controlled by humans. Their appearance will surely bring disaster to our Divine Realm."
"So, for the sake of avoiding unnecessary trouble in the future, we must eliminate all Beast Gods now, and eradicate their existence completely."
"The Divine Realm does not need Beast Gods!"
When the Shura God finished his speech, the Good God and Goddess of Life frowned slightly, while the Evil God and the God of Destruction smirked in satisfaction.
The meaning of the Shura God's words was clear. He was talking about the Beast Gods in the mortal realm, but he was also subtly implying something else.
That is, no matter whether there is a Dragon God in the mortal realm or not, the Shura God didn't want Beast Gods in the Divine Realm.
In other words, unless the Dragon God reappears and the Dragon Clan revives, the rule preventing soul beasts from becoming gods was null and void in the eyes of the Shura God.
The Shura God made it clear that he wouldn't follow this rule.
"Shura... you!" The Goddess of Life and the Good God both wanted to lecture the Shura God.
Had they not agreed to the rule established by the Dragon God all those years ago, the mighty Beast God, the Dragon God, would never have so easily agreed to allow the Shura God to kill him.
How could they have so easily stopped the Divine Realm War, where the Beast Gods perished and the human gods took control of everything?
