"Impossible, how can this be? Silver Dragon King Bloodline?"
Tang San's voice suddenly rang out within the Divine Realm. His eyes were filled with an expression of disbelief as he stared fixedly at the figure within the light screen, his mind racing.
The gods of the Divine Realm could naturally sense this Origin power of the Silver Dragon King. That aura, derived from half of the Dragon's power, permeated the air without any concealment the moment Gu Yue made her move. Even through the light screen, one could clearly perceive the purity and power within that Bloodline.
The Shrek Seven Devils did not say much on this matter. After all, Xiao Wu herself was a Spirit Beast in human form; they were well aware of this, and they had no standing to criticize anything regarding this issue.
Even the God of Destruction did not say much at this moment. He merely swept a cold glance at the light screen before withdrawing his gaze, which was enough to give Face.
After all, for a Spirit Beast to Cultivate to a God Position, they must endure the Heavenly Tribulation, and there would be no shortcuts. The reason Xiao Wu was able to become a god back then was largely because she exploited a loophole. She became a god in the capacity of the Asura God Sword's sheath, and coupled with her transformation into human form, she barely managed to bypass that rule.
If it were any other Spirit Beast, wanting to step into the Divine Realm by enduring the Heavenly Tribulation would be nearly impossible.
Of course, the God of Destruction was well aware of these old accounts, but he couldn't be bothered to bring them up. After all, the previous God of Goodness and God of Evil had already accepted Xiao Wu's identity, so there was no point in him dwelling on it.
However, just at this moment, Tang San suddenly spoke again. His brows were tightly locked, and his voice carried a hint of gravity.
"I have a bad premonition."
Everyone's gaze fell upon Tang San. His expression was extremely serious, and complex light churned within his deep eyes as he slowly continued to speak.
"I have sensed the aura of a second Silver Dragon King."
"In my original observations, there was actually already one Silver Dragon King. That Silver Dragon King had taken the Incarnation of a woman named Gu Yuena, who is currently also in this academy."
"But... the Gu Yuena Origin aura emanating from this young girl named Gu Yue before us is identical to the aura on Gu Yuena, yet she is a completely independent entity."
"In other words, there are currently two people in the Lower Realm possessing a complete Silver Dragon King Origin."
Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction's gaze suddenly narrowed. A look of gravity appeared on his cold Face as he turned his head to stare at Tang San, asking in a low voice.
"Tang San, what do you mean by this? Could it be that there are two Silver Dragon Kings?"
Tang San nodded with a heavy expression, then began to explain.
"That is indeed the case."
"The Silver Dragon King is not Xiao Wu. Like the Golden Dragon King, she is an existence born after the Dragon God was split in two. She carries the Dragon God's resentment and unwillingness toward the Divine Realm. If she is ever allowed to step into the Divine Realm, she will likely bring a devastating catastrophe to the entire Douluo God Realm."
"Therefore... we must cut off her path to becoming a god. We absolutely cannot allow her any chance to enter the Divine Realm, and we must even strangle this in the cradle."
After Tang San finished speaking, the Divine Realm fell into a momentary silence.
Everyone's gaze fell upon Tang San, but those eyes carried a hint of an indescribable meaning.
These words... seemed a bit double-standard.
After all, according to the logic of Tang San's words just now, Spirit Beasts becoming gods would bring a threat to the Divine Realm, so the Silver Dragon King's path to becoming a god must be cut off.
But if one were to follow this standard, what about Xiao Wu?
Xiao Wu was also a Spirit Beast; she had also Cultivated from a Spirit Beast into human form. And between Spirit Beasts and humans, there is an innate hatred and opposition; this point is difficult to completely eliminate, no matter how many things they have experienced.
In the eyes of the gods of the Divine Realm, Xiao Wu was, at the end of the day, just a Spirit Beast. She herself had already broken the rules.
It was only because they were constrained by the Face of the previous God of Goodness and God of Evil, coupled with the fact that Tang San held both the Sea God and Asura God Positions and possessed a transcendent status, that everyone did not say much and just turned a blind eye to it.
But now that Tang San had spoken these words, that double standard was simply too obvious.
You want to cut off the Silver Dragon King's path to becoming a god, and the reason is her Spirit Beast Origin and her resentment?
But wasn't Xiao Wu also of Spirit Beast Origin? Is it just because Xiao Wu has experienced so much with you that you trust her? But that trust belongs to you, the Shrek Seven Devils; what does that have to do with us?
For a moment, the atmosphere in the Divine Realm became somewhat subtle. Although the several God Kings did not speak, their gazes all carried a somewhat intriguing expression.
Tang San also noticed the anomaly in Xiao Wu beside him.
Xiao Wu's clear eyes were slightly lowered, and her lips were gently pursed. Although she did not say anything, that silent appearance made Tang San's heart tighten.
He hurriedly turned his head, a gentle expression appearing on his Face, and spoke softly to explain.
"Xiao Wu, listen to me... what I said just now was not directed at you."
"You are my lover, the most important person in my life, Tang San. I will never doubt you, nor have I ever lumped you together with those Spirit Beasts."
"It is just that this Silver Dragon King is, after all, a Clone of the Dragon God. And now, two Silver Dragon Kings have appeared in the Lower Realm at the same time. This is truly too suspicious; I do not know what kind of plot is contained within this."
Tang San paused, and with a hint of worry in his voice, continued to speak.
"Currently, the Golden Dragon King is still imprisoned within the Divine Realm. If one day this Silver Dragon King ascends to the Divine Realm and fuses with that Golden Dragon King, I fear a Dragon God will be condensed once again."
"By then... the consequences would be unimaginable."
After hearing this, a look of agreement appeared on Dai Mubai's resolute Face. He nodded and spoke in a steady voice.
"Little San is right. If the Dragon God were to appear in the Douluo God Realm again, I fear no one in the entire Divine Realm would be its match. This matter should indeed be guarded against in advance."
Ma Hongjun also chimed in from the side.
"I also agree with Third Brother's view. Third Brother is always able to take precautions and consider things more long-term than we do."
When he said this, his gaze inadvertently swept over the empty space beside him, and a trace of imperceptible desolation flashed through his eyes.
If only he had been stronger back then, perhaps he could have been like Third Brother and brought his lover to become a god together...
Unfortunately, Bai Chenxiang had ultimately remained in the Lower Realm, left behind in those long years.
Ma Hongjun withdrew his gaze, suppressed that trace of melancholy in his heart, and refocused his attention on the matter at hand.
Upon hearing them agree with him, the previously heavy expression on Tang San's Face eased slightly. He took a deep breath and spoke again, his voice carrying a hint of righteousness.
"The Divine Realm regulations state that the gods must not interfere in the affairs of the Lower Realm without authorization; I have never had any objections to this."
"But the situation is different now. A Divine Rank powerhouse has already been interfering in the Lower Realm. That Lin Feng is building an academy with divine force and meddling in the order of the Lower Realm; this is already a clear act of overstepping boundaries."
"Special matters naturally require special handling. We cannot sit idly by just to adhere to the rules."
As Tang San spoke, he slowly turned around and extended his right hand toward the God of Destruction, palm facing upward, with a somewhat sincere expression on his Face.
"God of Destruction, I know that there have always been some differences between us, but at this moment, I hope we can put aside our past grievances and join forces to take down that sinful god and maintain the stability of the Divine Realm."
"This is not just for me, Tang San, but for the safety of the entire Douluo God Realm."
The God of Destruction looked at the hand Tang San extended. There was not the slightest fluctuation in his indifferent eyes, and he did not reach out to shake Tang San's hand.
He merely gave a cold snort. His eyes were filled with undisguised disdain, and the corners of his mouth curled into a slight, mocking arc, his contempt for Tang San becoming even heavier than before.
Tang San's extended hand remained suspended in mid-air, which was quite embarrassing. A surge of anger welled up in Tang San's heart; he had spoken with such righteousness, yet he had still been denied Face. Sooner or later, the position of the God of Destruction would fall into the hands of my Tang Clan, and as for you, God of Destruction, go cool off somewhere else!
