Chapter 119: Inheritance!
[The way Gu Yue looks at you gradually begins to change.]
[You keep feeling that something about the way she looks at you isn't quite normal. You're no rookie, yet your mind drifts to one of life's three great illusions.]
["She likes me!"]
[You shake your head and cast the illusion aside.]
[You admit that Gu Yue is beautiful, but you are not a frivolous man, nor are you the type to fall in love at first sight every time you meet someone.]
Wang Li: "I am. I totally am!"
[You remain on Douluo Star for several years. During these years, you personally witness its transformation.]
[There are still many matters awaiting you in the God Realm. You cannot remain on Douluo Star forever. After obtaining the consent of the plane consciousness, you establish a teleportation array on Douluo Star and record its coordinates.]
[The next time you return, it won't be so troublesome.]
[You underestimated the power of the God of Love, and you underestimated the power of a lovestruck mind.]
[The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue—she, too, is hopelessly in love.]
[These past few years have been the happiest time of her life, a joy she had never before experienced.]
[She asks Bi Ji and Zi Ji why her heart feels so unsettled, especially after hearing that you are about to leave.]
[Bi Ji and Zi Ji fall silent. The two of them know very well that their lord has fallen in love.]
[Now that the Silver Dragon King no longer needs to worry about the future of the soul beast race, she can finally pursue her own love. The two of them enthusiastically offer her advice.]
[In their understanding of the world, there are no twisted human dramas. If two people like each other, just say it directly, then have children.]
[Gu Yue is completely into it. She finds you and, following Bi Ji and Zi Ji's suggestions, brings you into her room.]
[You are utterly confused, blank, bewildered, completely lost…]
[Gu Yue has lived in human society for quite some time. She is not some naïve innocent who understands nothing.]
[But when it truly comes to her own turn, her mind crashes—as though she suddenly knows nothing at all.]
[Gu Yue confesses to you. She says she wants to lay dragon eggs with you. In her eyes, you are the only existence in this world worthy of her.]
[Before you can even react, Gu Yue tentatively pushes you down…]
[Seeing that you show no intention of resisting, she…]
[You are stunned. You haven't even processed what is happening.]
[When you finally come back to your senses, you reverse the situation and properly "educate" Gu Yue.]
[You thought it was merely one of life's three illusions. You didn't expect her to be serious.]
[You ask Gu Yue whether she is willing to accompany you to the God Realm.]
[She thinks about it briefly, then nods.]
[You bring Gu Yue to bid farewell to the plane consciousness, as well as Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Di Tian, and the others. You tell them that if anything happens, they may inform you.]
[Gods cannot casually interfere with the lower realm unless under extraordinary circumstances, such as a catastrophic upheaval.]
[As a God King, you naturally abide by the rules.]
[Though in certain matters… You absolutely do not. Yes, you are just that double-standard.]
Wang Li: "..."
What nonsense double-standard? This is the strategic foresight of a God King!!!
[These past few years, you have not been idle either. You studied two major fields of knowledge and plan to promote them widely once you return to the God Realm.]
[You and Gu Yue return to the God Realm. Nothing unpleasant occurs along the way.]
[You return with the Silver Dragon King at your side. The older generation of gods are stunned but say nothing.]
[Hu Liena sees Gu Yue and learns of your relationship. She shows not the slightest concern.]
[You were gone for barely ten days, yet you brought back the sovereign of all soul beasts. It truly makes her look at you in a new light.]
[Time passes… Under your leadership, the God Realm expands. It becomes stable, prosperous, and free of any looming crisis.]
[The God Realm now has the internet—an internet that covers the entire realm.]
[It has starships, cosmic battleships, and all manner of futuristic technology.]
[Unlike the Douluo Continent, however, these technologies are powered by divine power.]
[A God Realm that had seen no change for countless years suddenly gains "vitality" because of your reforms, igniting curiosity and enthusiasm among the gods.]
[They learn online socializing, interacting with other gods, playing games… The only concern is the fear of being confronted offline.]
[Looking at the present God Realm, a sense of pride wells up within you along with a faint sense of loneliness.]
[The entire God Realm is practically your one-man domain.]
[The inheritors of Kindness and Evil lack the strength to uphold the dignity of God Kings.]
[The inheritor of Asura grows far too slowly, still unable to shoulder the burden. In the entire God Realm, you alone are the God King capable of truly holding everything together.]
[At first, this feeling is pleasant. You quite enjoy it.]
[But gradually… You grow weary.]
[Even if every burden falls upon you, you can complete them all with ease, almost accidentally.]
[You fall into deep thought. You realize that this life is not what you originally dreamed of.]
[All you ever wanted was a wife, children, and a warm bed. Instead, you have become an exalted workhorse, diligently laboring day after day.]
[You finally understand that the position of God King is nothing but a massive pitfall. No wonder those old fellows ran away so decisively.]
[To wear the crown is to bear its weight.]
[You begin to crave rest…]
[You think of Destruction and Life, of Kindness and Evil, who ran off.]
[You decide that it is time to make some changes.]
[You first track down the reincarnations of Kindness and Evil. You beat them up. The two of them truly failed their duty, passing down incomplete inheritances, leaving the current two God Kings as nothing more than decorations.]
[You threaten them: either return to the God Realm or properly complete the inheritance of the divine positions. Otherwise, you'll hang them up and beat them again.]
[Under your intimidation, Kindness and Evil return to the God Realm. They had merely gone out to have fun. Now that they've had their fill, it's time to come back.]
[That is precisely why they never fully passed down their divine positions. You utterly despise their conduct and beat them again. What kind of God Kings are they? Practically courting death!]
[You find the reincarnations of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life. A faint smile curves at your lips as you directly bestow divine trials upon them.]
[They are living quite well at the moment; they even have a child.]
[You decide to increase the difficulty for Destruction… and to go extremely easy on Life—extremely easy, as easy as the vast ocean itself.]
[Destruction is a man. He should be able to handle it!]
[If he truly can't, you can always secretly adjust things behind the scenes so that he can.]
[Life and Destruction were reborn with their memories intact.]
[As they read the contents of their divine trials in their minds, they fall into silence.]
[The Goddess of Life reveals a faint smile. The God of Destruction frowns deeply, utterly bewildered.]
[He feels as though you are taking revenge on him, but he has no evidence.]
[Neither of them expected that you would so quickly return the divine positions to them. In fact, they never even imagined they would take those positions back.]
