In the Divine Realm Palace, just as Tang San was still pondering what that golden light and shadow actually was, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Sea God, you have interfered with the Lower Realm without authorization. Now that the evidence is conclusive, do you have anything to say?"
That voice was deep and cold, carrying a trace of unquestionable majesty.
Tang San's pupils suddenly constricted, and he secretly thought to himself that it was bad.
To think that he would be caught by the God King of Destruction at a time like this. When he had just acted to rescue Tang Hao, he had been momentarily anxious and forgotten that he was still under surveillance.
A layer of fine cold sweat seeped out from Tang San's forehead, but now was definitely not the time to panic. Tang San took a deep breath, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and one countermeasure after another was proposed, only to be rejected.
Fortunately, Tang San possessed great wisdom, and a countermeasure was quickly locked in.
Outside the door, a figure stepped through the air and approached.
That was a silver-haired, purple-eyed man, dressed in a deep purple cloak. The cloak rippled with a faint dark glow, seemingly containing endless power of destruction.
Around his body lingered a faint layer of red mist, and wherever he passed, even the air trembled slightly.
That handsome face carried a trace of cold arrogance, and his purple eyes were as deep as an abyss. It was none other than the God King of Destruction.
Tang San stood up with a hint of solemnity on his face, his gaze directly meeting the God King of Destruction.
" God King of Destruction. "
His voice was steady and powerful, showing not a trace of panic.
" When I acted just now, there was a reason for it. "
The God King of Destruction let out a cold snort, a flash of coldness passing through his purple eyes.
" A reason? "
His tone was full of disdain.
" Gods are not allowed to interfere with the Lower Realm without authorization. This is an ironclad rule of the Divine Realm. What kind of reason could make you, the Sea God, risk your life? "
Tang San's expression remained unchanged as he slowly spoke.
" Now, the Divine Realm does not know what kind of change has occurred, and a layer of fog has appeared, cutting off contact with the Douluo Continent plane. "
He paused, his tone carrying a bit of righteous heroism.
" Although the Douluo Continent is a lower plane of the Divine Realm, now that such a thing has happened, as the Sea God and a law enforcement god of the Divine Realm, I naturally cannot sit idly by. "
" My action just now was not to interfere with the Lower Realm, but to test the source of that layer of fog. "
After saying this, Tang San looked straight at the God King of Destruction, his face full of openness and composure.
Watching Tang San's righteous appearance, the God King of Destruction let out a cold snort in his heart.
Testing the fog? That sounds pleasant enough.
But he did not expose him on the spot, instead speaking coldly.
" Since that is the case, then follow me to the deliberation hall of the God Realm Committee and explain this matter to the gods. "
Tang San nodded, the expression on his face still open and untroubled, showing not the slightest feeling of a guilty conscience.
" That is precisely my intention. "
Just as Tang San was about to walk out, a figure walked in from outside the door. It was a beautiful woman with a scorpion braid, wearing a pink long dress. It was none other than Xiao Wu.
Her face carried a trace of worry, and her gaze fell on Tang San.
" Third Brother... "
Her voice carried a hint of unease.
" What happened? "
Tang San looked at her, a smile appearing on his face.
" It's nothing. Next, I plan to discuss some urgent matters with the God King of Destruction and everyone in the God Realm Committee. Now unexpected variables have appeared in both the Divine Realm and the Douluo Continent. I will find out the cause and protect the stability of the Divine Realm and the Douluo Continent. "
Xiao Wu looked at him like this, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she still nodded.
" Then be careful. "
Tang San smiled, then turned around and walked out of the room following the God King of Destruction.
The God King of Destruction walked in front, unable to help letting out a cold snort in his heart.
This Tang San really knows how to put on a show.
However... the God King of Destruction didn't say much more.
He himself was a man with a wife, so he naturally understood the intent behind Tang San's action.
But wanting him to speak well of Tang San in front of Xiao Wu?
That was naturally impossible.
God Realm Committee, core deliberation hall. Although this place was very large, it only contained one huge round table and five chairs, and three of those seats were already occupied.
Two of them were the God of Goodness, Lie Yan, and the God of Evil, Ji Dong, who had just ascended; and the other person was the wife of the God King of Destruction, the Goddess of Life.
The God King of Destruction walked into the hall and sat down in his position. Tang San also followed him in and took his seat.
The gazes of the five people intersected in the center of the hall.
The God King of Destruction spoke first.
" Summoning everyone today is regarding the matter of the Sea God interfering with the Lower Realm without authorization. "
His voice was cold and serious.
" I propose to dismiss the Sea God from his position as a member of the God Realm Committee. "
Hearing such blunt words from the God King of Destruction, the other three did not immediately express their stance. One reason was because the two senior former God Kings had entrusted the Divine Realm to Tang San, and another reason was that within the Divine Realm, there had not yet been an example of dismissing a God Realm Committee member.
" My action was due to a reason, not for selfish motives, but to maintain the stability of the Divine Realm and the lower planes. As everyone knows, our Divine Realm grows stronger by relying on the Power Of Faith from the Lower Realm, while also obtaining energy from the lower planes. As a law enforcement god of the Divine Realm, I have the obligation to ensure the safety of the lower planes. "
One could say that Tang San's words were spoken with great eloquence and justification.
The God King of Destruction sneered. This Tang San before him was really similar to the previous Asura God; both loved to exploit loopholes and violate the regulations of the Divine Realm.
" Sea God, do you know that what is enveloped by that layer is not just the Douluo Continent. "
Tang San's expression changed instantly, and a wave of ominous premonition surged within his heart.
" What did you say? "
The God King of Destruction did not answer, only saying in a deep voice.
" Won't you know if you sense it yourself? "
Tang San took a deep breath, and then released his Divine Sense, probing toward the borders of the Divine Realm.
Tang San's vast Divine Sense pierced through layers of the Void Realm, extending all the way.
Then Tang San's pupils suddenly constricted, because Tang San discovered that not only was the Douluo Continent plane wrapped in the fog, but the other lower planes were as well.
Then... in other words, it wasn't that the Douluo Continent was isolated by the fog, but rather that the Divine Realm was enveloped by the fog?
The God King of Destruction naturally also noticed the disbelief and solemnity on Tang San's face, and could not help letting out a cold snort, thinking to himself whether this thing really had nothing to do with Tang San.
Tang San had originally thought that this fog was merely meant to interfere with his observation of the Douluo Continent, and during this period of time, Tang San hadn't paid any attention to the fact that the Douluo God Realm was enveloped by fog at all.
But... if this fog had been discovered long ago, why bring it up only now?
" Regarding this fog, I have zero understanding of it, but there is one thing that I, Tang San, can guarantee, and that is that this fog was not created by me, Tang San. "
Tang San spoke in a deep voice, but at this moment he was also a bit anxious. Since this fog enveloped the Divine Realm, it meant that he himself had encountered danger. If only the Douluo Continent had problems, then Tang San wouldn't be worried about anything.
But... now that the Douluo God Realm had problems, it was closely tied to him.
