Divine Realm.
"What happened?" The crimson-armored man furrowed his brows.
"Why did my chosen luck suddenly drop? At such a huge chunk, too."
"No, there must be something wrong at Douluo Planet."
"I must check-!"
"All Godkings, please come to the meeting room!"
However, before Asura God could use his authority as Law Enforcer to check on the lower realm, the God of Destruction suddenly called all Godkings to attend an emergency meeting.
Asura cursed, "Damn you, Destruction. Why did you have to hold a meeting all of a sudden?"
Even then, Asura knew he couldn't disobey the meeting call. He huffed in dissatisfaction and teleported to the meeting hall, where all Godkings had assembled around a round table. The God of Evil, Goddess of Kindness, Goddess of Life, and God of Destruction have already seated on their throne.
Asura kept a calm, poker expression as he sat down, "Let's start. Why did you call this meeting?"
The God of Destruction glanced at Asura and replied, "As you guys know, the Goddess of Flower has disappeared for a while now. The same goes for Angel God and God of Sword."
"But I finally found some clues and learned the Flower Goddess's whereabouts."
"Hmm..." Asura maintained a cold expression, but inside, he panicked like crazy.
The Goddess of Life's eyes lit up as she excitedly said, "Xiao Zi, have you finally discovered something about Juyue (Flower Goddess)? I missed her so much!"
The God of Evil and Goddess of Kindness are ecstatic because the Flower Goddess could become a Godking if she cultivates a little more. They are trying to reincarnate again, so they need another God-king powerhouse in the Divine Realm while they are gone.
The God of Destruction sighed, "Juyue has passed away."
"WHAT, NO, THAT CAN'T BE TRUE!" Since the Goddess of Life treats the Flower Goddess like her younger sister, hearing this news shocked her the most.
The God of Evil and Goddess of Kindness are also shocked. They sighed in their hearts because the future of the Divine Realm became bleaker each day.
They have lost too many gods after the Divine War, and those with the potential to be Godking also perished mysteriously.
Is this a sign of the Divine Realm's end?
"No, Juyue..." The Goddess of Life covered her face and cried. Her crystal tears made the surroundings gloomy and devoid of life.
Asura gave the Goddess of Life a sympathetic look before asking, "Do you find any clues behind the Flower Goddess's death?"
"We can't just let this happen under our nose!"
Hearing Asura's righteous words, the God of Destruction couldn't help but snort in his heart. 'If there is someone who could have done this under our nose, then it must be you, Asura!'
Of course, the God of Destruction couldn't just accuse Asura. He doesn't have evidence to support his words.
The God of Destruction replied coldly, "Unfortunately, not."
"When I arrived there, the Flower Goddess's divine spark barely kept her now split God's seat from disappearing."
"Even her God's seat was split..." The God of Evil frowned. "Why do I feel this was on purpose?"
The Goddess of Kindness nodded, "You're right. The proprietor could have destroyed Flower God's seat, but splitting it makes it feel like this person was planning to weaken our Divine Realm."
"That's why I want to propose an idea," the God of Destruction stated with a determined look. "Why don't we add a few more Law Enforcers to expand our observational range?"
"This..." Asura frowned in his heart. The Law Enforcer has always been his position, but the God of Destruction's idea makes it harder for him to do his things.
"Hmm, that sounds logical." The God of Evil agreed immediately.
The Goddess of Kindness smiled, "Yeah, adding more Law Enforcers to watch over the Divine Realm's jurisdiction will help us to react faster if something like this happens again."
"Xiao Zi, I agree!" The saddened Goddess of Life was enthusiastic. "Let's add more Law Enforcers."
"What do you think, Asura?" The God of Destruction asked Asura calmly while laughing inside. He knew this shady guy would feel uncomfortable that his position got threatened.
The God of Destruction and Han Yuan discussed this plan to prevent and stall Asura from doing shady things behind the shadows. Even then, they knew Asura would exploit loopholes somehow.
They also knew that Asura wouldn't dare reject this proposal because the news about the Flower Goddess's death was a trigger that allied the rest of Godkings together.
Usually, the God of Evil and Goddess of Kindness would stay neutral, but everything changed with the loss of potential Godking.
Four against one, Asura has no other choice.
And sure enough, Asura replied rightfully again, "Good idea. I don't mind having more people as Law Enforcers so the Divine Realm could be safer than before!"
"But who should we choose?"
"Destruction, you're busy with your jobs, right?"
The God of Destruction chuckled, "You don't have to worry about that, Asura. I planned to appoint the Moon Goddess, God of Sloth, Wind God, and Space God."
"The Moon Goddess is known for her intellect and noble sense, which should detect any harm immediately."
"The God of Sloth is similar as he has remarkable sense against ill intention."
"As for Wind God and Space God. They are fast, allowing us to react faster if something happens."
Asura cursed the God of Destruction madly in his heart as he couldn't push Poseidon into Law Enforcer positions now. After all, the people the God of Destruction picked are reasonably skilled and strong.
Even then, Asura didn't give up, "Moon Goddess, huh? Will she accept this job? She's quite a loner..."
The God of Destruction smiled faintly, "Don't worry. The Moon Goddess will agree because she recently found an inheritor."
"Oh, that's good news!" The God of Evil chuckled.
Very few 1st Class Gods could become Godking, and the Moon Goddess is one of them. While the Moon Goddess is a loner, her innate ability and strength are undeniable.
The Goddess of Kindness and Goddess of Life also found the people the God of Destruction chose to be perfect. They have no problem with them being Law Enforcers.
The Goddess of Destruction clapped his hand, "Well, with this, the meeting is over."
"I will call the Moon Goddess, God of Sloth, Wind God, and Space God personally later."
"Asura, please receive them later."
"Hmm, I understand," Asura replied with a bleeding heart.
Damn you, Destruction!
After that, everyone left the meeting room.
The God of Destruction and Goddess of Life returned to the Temple of Destruction.
Once they arrived at the Temple of Destruction, the Goddess of Life threw herself into the God of Destruction's embrace and cried more.
"Xiao Zi, why did such a thing happen to Juyue? She's just a child."
"Why did she have to die like this?"
The God of Destruction rubbed the Goddess of Life's back and replied, "I know. I know your frustration, Ming."
"I really wish I could prevent this from happening and punish the one who did it."
"Unfortunately, the world is filled with uncertainty. We can't predict how fate and destiny work."
"But... I have some good news."
"W-What is it?" The Goddess of Life looked up.
The Goddess of Destruction smiled, "I have found inheritors for Juyue's positions in Douluo Star. They are mother-daughter pairs with strong life attributes 'flower' martial souls."
"It seemed they have some fate with Juyue's artifact in the mortal world."
"With this, Juyue's legacy can pass on."
"Ah..." The Goddess of Life cried in relief. "Thank you for finding them, Xiao Zi."
"Can I be the one who supervises their trials?"
"Of course you can!" The God of Destruction replied immediately.
"Thank you, Xiao Zi..." The Goddess of Life buried her face in the God of Destruction's chest.
The God of Destruction caressed her hair and whispered, "I will do everything to make us happy, Ming."
At the same time, the God of Destruction also glanced into the far distance, seemingly picturing Han Yuan and a little rabbit. 'I have already done my part of the job, kid.'
'Asura wouldn't dare to touch Douluo Star anytime soon, so I hope you can gather enough evidence for our plan.'
'After that, keke, let's drag Asura down together!'
