Tang San continued to speak in a steady tone, his gaze sweeping across the gods present.
"Everyone present must have no way to solve this difficult problem of the fog."
"Then, what virtue or ability do I, Tang San, have to create a fog that even all of you God Kings find difficult to resolve?"
As soon as these words were spoken, except for God King of Destruction, the other three nodded slightly.
God of Evil spoke up first.
"Indeed, I feel that compared to dismissing the Sea God, we should pay more attention to this fog right now."
"This fog was able to envelop the Divine Realm within a day, and none of us detected it in time, nor could we see through it. For our Divine Realm, this is a problem that urgently needs to be solved."
God of Goodness also nodded.
"Correct, the top priority is to find out the source of the fog."
Goddess of Life turned her head and looked at God King of Destruction on the side.
"The sudden appearance of this fog today is indeed peculiar."
Her voice was gentle, but her tone carried a hint of consolation.
"Let's solve the problem of the fog first, and talk about the rest later."
Seeing that Goddess of Life was also standing on his side, the corners of Tang San's mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.
Fortunately, he had personal charm.
Currently in the God Realm Committee, only God King of Destruction had not been conquered by his personal charm, but the other three God Kings had already leaned towards his side.
Hearing this, God King of Destruction let out a cold snort. A hint of coldness flashed through his purple eyes, and instead of choosing to let the matter rest, he continued to question further.
"Tang San."
His voice was deep and icy.
"Do you dare guarantee that you have no selfish motives whatsoever?"
Tang San's expression remained unchanged as he put on a righteous appearance.
"Of course I can."
God King of Destruction stared at Tang San for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"Good."
He paused, his tone growing a bit more aggressive.
"Then let me ask you, where is Xiaoqi?"
Hearing these words, Tang San's expression involuntarily stiffened slightly.
Xiaoqi... His daughter, Tang Wutong, why would God King of Destruction suddenly bring her up?
A sense of unease welled up in Tang San's heart.
Throughout the entire Divine Realm, there were not many divinities who could have children.
He, Tang San, counted as one, and his daughter was also well-acquainted with God King of Destruction and Goddess of Life.
Tang San knew clearly that God King of Destruction and Goddess of Life were unable to have offspring due to the attributes of God King of Destruction himself.
Therefore, Tang San had always used his daughter to maintain a good relationship with these two God Kings.
His purpose was to completely control the absolute right to speak in the Divine Realm in the future.
However... never had he expected that Xiaoqi would unexpectedly become a handle for God King of Destruction to find fault with him at this moment.
In his heart, Tang San couldn't help but curse silently that this God King of Destruction was truly meddlesome.
Within the Divine Realm, were there few divinities who violated the rules of the Divine Realm?
Why did he have to hound him persistently?
But on Tang San's face, no abnormality was shown. He took a deep breath, trying hard to keep his expression calm.
God King of Destruction noticed Tang San's slightly stiff expression and sneered.
"A day in the Divine Realm is a year in the Lower Realm."
"Tang San, you have already sent Xiaoqi down, haven't you?"
Hearing these words from God King of Destruction, Tang San knew clearly that if he denied it, then all God King of Destruction needed to do next was to request to see Xiaoqi, and his previous words would collapse on their own.
Because right now, he truly had no way to bring Xiaoqi before God King of Destruction; even if he used soul-splitting techniques, he could not escape the Divine Sense of God King of Destruction.
Therefore, what Tang San needed to do right now should not be to avoid talking about it, but to choose honesty. Currently within the God Realm Committee, three people favored him, so it would be enough for him to handle those three well.
After sorting out his thoughts, Tang San nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"Indeed."
"As parents, who doesn't hope their children can amount to something?"
"I don't want my daughter to become a spendthrift prodigal, so wanting her to undergo some tempering is also very normal, right?"
God King of Destruction let out a cold snort and didn't speak.
"I sent Xiaoqi down to Douluo Continent and sealed her memories."
"Right now, she has no memories of the Divine Realm, and is just an ordinary girl."
Tang San paused, a hint of emotional reflection adding to his tone.
"Everyone also understands Xiaoqi's personality from before."
"She was simply a little deviless."
A helpless smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"As a father, wanting to polish her personality and make her better, could there be anything wrong with that?"
There was a bit of genuine emotion in Tang San's voice.
"Although I am an Enforcer God of the Divine Realm, I am also a parent."
"Wanting one's children to become a bit better, could this also be wrong?"
After these words were spoken, the entire council hall fell into silence. God King of Destruction stared at Tang San for a long time, then slowly spoke.
"Tang San."
His voice was icy.
"You broke the rules in the end."
The remaining three God Kings remained silent.
Goddess of Life looked at Tang San, then looked at God King of Destruction. Her lips moved, but in the end, she still didn't speak.
Tang San took a deep breath, then slowly spoke.
"Once the problem of this fog is resolved, I am willing to accept punishment."
His voice was sincere, and his face was full of openness.
"Regarding this point, I, Tang San, will keep my word."
Tang San knew that this fog could not be solved for a while, and right now he had no way to go head-to-head with God King of Destruction. The only thing to do was to back down first.
It wasn't as if he hadn't done this kind of thing before.
Hearing Tang San's sworn words, the gods didn't say much more.
God of Evil spoke up first.
"In that case, let's set about solving the problem of this fog first."
"Lest anything go wrong in the Divine Realm, as members of the God Realm Committee, we have the obligation to ensure the safety of the Divine Realm."
God of Goodness nodded.
"I agree."
Goddess of Life also nodded slightly.
"Solve the fog first."
God King of Destruction glanced at Tang San and let out a cold snort, but didn't say anything more. He knew that now was not the time to continue investigating.
The problem of the fog was indeed more urgent.
Taking advantage of the situation to step down, Tang San slowly spoke.
"Speaking of this fog, I actually understand a little bit about it."
His words instantly attracted the gaze of all the God Kings present, and God of Evil's brows furrowed slightly.
"Oh? Sea God, what do you know?"
Tang San's expression was steady as he slowly said.
"Just a short while ago, I sensed some anomalies."
"At that time, I was inside Sea God Temple and suddenly sensed an extremely powerful aura."
"That aura... was at least a powerhouse of God King tier."
A powerhouse of God King tier?
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the God Kings present all changed.
A sharp glint flashed through the purple eyes of God King of Destruction.
"God King tier?"
There was a hint of skepticism in his voice.
"Are you sure?"
Tang San nodded.
"I am sure."
"Although that aura flashed past and disappeared, I could definitely not have sensed it wrongly."
"And..."
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.
"After that aura appeared, it entered the Douluo Continent plane."
God of Goodness's brows furrowed even deeper.
"A powerhouse of God King tier entering the lower plane? What are his intentions?"
Hearing God of Goodness's question, Tang San continued to speak with a solemn expression.
"I am not clear on what his intentions are, but this fog is related to that God King tier powerhouse. After that person entered Douluo Continent, this fog appeared."
"Xiaoqi is still inside Douluo Continent. As a father, how could I not worry? Therefore, I also took action."
At this moment, Tang San very opportunistically revealed a bitter smile, portraying the image of a loving father perfectly.
"That's right, Xiaoqi is still within the fog. It's only human nature for the Sea God to take action out of worry."
God of Goodness nodded, seeming to have already been convinced by Tang San's words.
Although God of Goodness and God of Evil were both God Kings, they were ultimately still youngsters. What the two of them were doing now was merely maintaining the relationship between the Sea God and God King of Destruction.
It's just that God King of Destruction was somewhat radical, and coupled with the fact that although Tang San was a member of the God Realm Committee, his personal strength had not yet stepped into the God King Realm, someone always needed to mediate.
God of Evil remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"If it is truly as the Sea God said, and a God King tier powerhouse has entered Douluo Continent..."
"Then this matter is no longer just a problem of the fog."
God of Goodness also nodded.
"Indeed, a God King tier powerhouse entering the lower plane, this in itself violates the rules of the Divine Realm."
"Furthermore, he is also creating fog, cutting off the communication between the Divine Realm and the lower plane..."
God of Goodness paused, a hint of worry adding to her tone.
"What on earth does this person want to do? And how did they Breakthrough to the God King Realm while we weren't paying attention?"
Goddess of Life spoke up at this time as well.
"No matter what, this matter of the fog must be resolved."
God King of Destruction took the initiative to speak.
"Leave this matter to me to take charge of. I will thoroughly investigate the matter of this fog."
Naturally, it was impossible for God King of Destruction to only investigate the matter of the fog; there was also the evidence of Tang San's crimes left on Douluo Continent. This time, he would absolutely not let Tang San run away.
"It's fine to leave this matter to me. I was born in Douluo Continent, and no one understands it better than I do."
Tang San said with a smile, sounding as though he was taking the responsibility upon himself.
"I agree."
Before God King of Destruction could speak, the other three expressed their agreement.
"You guys?!"
God King of Destruction let out a sound in disbelief.
"Destruction, the reason for the fog's appearance is still unclear, and you are the only one with high-tier combat strength in the Divine Realm."
Goddess of Life's gaze fell upon God King of Destruction. Hearing these words, God King of Destruction remained silent, except that this matter would not just end like this.
After the council ended, Tang San let out a sigh of relief. From now on, he could openly and aboveboard observe the matters of Douluo Continent, but... that inexplicably appearing God King, the Dragon God Bloodline, and that bizarre Shrek Academy, what on earth were all of these?!
Tang San's expression was gloomy. If these things hadn't suddenly appeared, his plan should have been much smoother. But now, after being exposed, even though he could conduct investigations openly, God King of Destruction would absolutely not let him go.
No matter who it was, bringing him so much trouble meant they had already chosen a way to court death!
