The inheritance of a God position was indeed a difficult problem that every deity had to face, especially for an ancient and powerful existence like the God of Destruction.
"However," the Water God tilted her head curiously, "How did this matter attract your attention?"
A flash of sharpness crossed the God of Destruction's purple eyes: "You said 'also' just now?"
"Ah, yes." The Water God explained, "Just before you arrived, Lord Sea God also inquired about the Axis Cult through his Divine Thought."
"So that's how it is..." The God of Destruction's voice deepened a few notches.
He had long suspected that Tang San's attention to the Lower Realm was unusual, and now it seemed there was indeed a hidden agenda.
"I merely noticed that the Sea God was frequently paying attention to the Lower Realm, so I wanted to see what exactly could make him so concerned."
The God of Destruction's tone was flat, but the light flickering in his eyes revealed his true thoughts, "Even if he were paying attention to his daughter Tang Wutong, it should not be this close."
The Water God nodded in realization: "So that's it. However, Lord Sea God said he is looking for a successor; perhaps that is the reason he is paying special attention to the situation on the Douluo Continent."
Watching the Water God's innocent expression, the God of Destruction snorted coldly in his heart.
He knew Tang San too well; that meticulous Sea God would never go to such great lengths just to find a successor.
When he had indirectly suggested to Tang San that he find a successor, the other party had been vague, and now this explanation was full of loopholes.
"That said," the God of Destruction brought the topic back, "The Axis Cult of your junior has done quite a few good deeds on the Douluo Continent that benefit the people.
I think... perhaps I could let my wife, the Goddess of Life, also consider passing her God position to her."
"What?!" The Water God's eyes widened in surprise; she could hardly believe what she had heard.
The God of Destruction nodded slightly, a rare gentleness revealing itself in his purple eyes: "If your successor is truly as excellent as you say, capable of bearing both the authority of water and life simultaneously, perhaps she can go further on this path.
Moreover, my wife, the Goddess of Life's God position is very gentle; even if she inherits two God positions simultaneously, it will not have any impact on this girl."
The Water God stared blankly at the God of Destruction before her, feeling such a gentle side to this ancient God King for the first time.
She couldn't help but think of those love stories about the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life that circulated in the God Realm.
"This... this is truly unexpected." The Water God managed to find her voice, "But I need to communicate with Furina first; after all, this concerns her future divine path."
"Naturally." The God of Destruction nodded, "This is just a suggestion; in the end, it depends on the child's own choice."
The two talked for a while longer, mainly about the collection of the Power Of Faith in the Lower Realm and the details of the God position inheritance.
During this time, the Water God noticed that the God of Destruction's gaze drifted toward the distance from time to time, as if he were paying attention to some existence on the Douluo Continent.
When the God of Destruction finally said his farewells and left, the Water God stood at the entrance of the temple, watching that dark purple figure gradually moving away, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
She vaguely felt that the God Realm seemed to be brewing a huge transformation, and Furina—the successor she had chosen—would very likely be standing at the center of this transformation.
Returning inside the temple, the Water God gently stroked the image of Furina in the water mirror, whispering to herself: "Little one, do you know that you have already attracted the attention of so many big figures?"
In the mirror, Furina was talking with Xiao Xiao, her face beaming with a confident smile.
She was clearly completely unaware of everything happening in the God Realm.
The Water God sighed softly, feeling proud of her successor's excellence while also worried about the challenges she was about to face.
On the chessboard of the God Realm where power was intertwined, one wrong step could mean losing the entire game.
"However..." A determined light reignited in the Water God's eyes, "Since I have chosen you, I will fully support you to continue on."
She raised her hand and tapped lightly; a beam of azure divine force sank into the water mirror, turning into a subtle, imperceptible blessing that traveled through layers of space, floating toward Furina in the Lower Realm.
No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, this God position inheritance that had already begun would continue unwaveringly.
And the changing winds and clouds of the God Realm would surely be stirred into new waves because of this young girl from the Lower Realm.
