"Ashura God, what happened? It's rare for you to call both me and the Evil God together," a white-robed woman, as beautiful and gentle as a lotus, chuckled and asked.
"You'll see for yourselves." The Shura God, hidden under blood-red armor, spoke in a low voice. His tone was cold and hoarse, but there seemed to be an unusual urgency, something rarely seen from this god known for his cold demeanor.
On the five-colored altar, glowing with light, a golden spear wrapped in countless runes was trembling continuously.
"This? The Golden Dragon Spear is reacting?" The Evil God, dressed in black, suddenly turned his gaze towards the Shura God, his expression carrying a hint of reproach. "Is it because the Golden Dragon King's seal has been disturbed, which caused the spear to react? If the Golden Dragon King breaks free, he will wreak havoc in the God Realm. Shura, how could you not call the Destroyer or the Goddess of Life to come here?"
"The Goddess of Life does not agree with us rewriting the laws of the Douluo World, nor does she approve of the sealing of the Golden Dragon King, who was transformed into a dragon cocoon," the God of Kindness gently placed a hand on the Evil God's arm, comforting him. "It's better not to call her now. If she finds out, she will surely bring up past matters and try to completely destroy the Golden Dragon King, returning its power to the heavens to nurture all life. That would only bring more trouble. As for the Destroyer, the Goddess of Life and the Destroyer are a married couple, and their opinions are naturally aligned."
What the God of Kindness did not mention was that, as the incarnation of the Ancient Tree of Life, the Goddess of Life, although she had sided with the God Realm during the Beast God's rebellion for the sake of the God Realm's interests, still held some respect for the Dragon God deep in her heart.
The Evil God seemed unconvinced by his wife's words and still wore a slightly disapproving expression.
"Sigh, the Goddess of Life is so naïve. She is so kind and loves all life equally, yet she doesn't understand that the Beast Clan, a savage existence, has no love or kindness in their hearts." The God of Kindness sighed, her voice carrying a touch of sorrow. "In the end, the Beast Clan still rebelled under the leadership of the Dragon God… These beasts have ultimately betrayed the Goddess of Life's goodwill. It's such a pity… How tragic…"
The Beast Clan was chaotic, often acting on instinct without morals, unable to be judged by good and evil, which is why the two gods of Kindness and Evil despised them.
"This all goes back to the conflict between humans and beasts. The Destroyer and the Goddess of Life are neither beasts nor humans. The dispute between humans and beasts should not involve them," the Shura God said coldly.
As for the Shura God—whether human or beast, he was still the one who killed.
The three supreme gods, who were all born from humans, didn't explicitly voice their inner thoughts. Regardless of how much they valued fighting for the interests of the human race, the desire to suppress their political enemies and prevent them from seeking revenge was at least fifty percent of the reason.
The two neutral gods, Life and Destruction, were naturally their main targets of prevention.
"Fine, have you checked whether the Golden Dragon King's seal is intact?" The Evil God snorted, no longer pressing the issue.
"Everything is normal. The seal in the Forbidden Land is intact," the Shura God replied.
"Then why did the Golden Dragon Spear suddenly react?"
"We've tested it before. The Golden Dragon Spear automatically flies towards its master, until the Golden Dragon King's aura is completely isolated," the Shura God explained.
The God of Kindness thought for a moment and gently pressed her full lips: "There is a bloodline of the Golden Dragon Clan in the lower world, but the spear has never reacted like this before. It seems that only someone with the pure blood of the Golden Dragon King can trigger it. What if the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King was born in the lower world?"
"How could this be possible? The moment the Golden Dragon was born, we sealed it in the Forbidden Land in the God Realm. How could it have had a chance to leave offspring?" The Evil God furrowed his brows. "Could it be related to his twin brother, the Silver Dragon King, who escaped to the lower world?"
"That is also a possibility," the Shura God said with a thoughtful expression.
"Why don't we send the hunters from the God Realm to capture the Silver Dragon King as well?" the Evil God casually suggested. "We can seal both of them and keep an eye on them."
"I agree with what the Evil God said. The Silver Dragon King is too dangerous without supervision in the God Realm… If we have both under control, we can directly kill the Golden Dragon King without any issue," the God of Kindness said, a trace of sorrow on her face as if she felt pity for the life that the Golden Dragon King was about to lose.
But she was the God of Kindness, not kindness itself, so she would make such a cold decision that was ultimately beneficial to the God Realm.
The Shura God pondered for a moment.
"This is not right," he shook his head. "First, searching for the Silver Dragon King in the vast lower world will be very difficult. Furthermore, as long as the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings are alive, it is equivalent to the Dragon God still living. As long as the divided Dragon God is still clinging to life, the Beast Clan's ruler is still under his influence, and the Beast Clan will never again be able to produce a supreme powerhouse capable of stepping into the God Realm."
At this point, the Shura God sneered coldly, "Ha, with the old king still alive, how can the new one rise? When the human race's fortune completely surpasses that of the Beast Clan and the balance is broken, the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings will naturally be disposed of."
"If one of the Golden or Silver Dragon Kings dies, we cannot be sure whether fate will consider the Dragon God dead, thus giving birth to a new beastly powerhouse. The risk is far too great."
The God of Kindness and the Evil God obviously agreed with his words.
The Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, no matter what, cannot merge back into the Dragon God, but they also cannot die directly to make room for a new ruler of the Beast Clan.
"In that case, let's maintain the current situation," the Evil God stroked his chin. "As long as the spear remains under our watch, it won't leave the God Realm."
"I will reinforce the seal on the Golden Dragon Spear. As long as I am alive, it will not leave and fly to its new master," the Shura God stated.
"I'm still not at ease," the God of Kindness shook her head. "Why don't we work together to cast a secret spell to probe the lower world and find who triggered the resonance of the Golden Dragon Spear, and then decide what to do?"
"But such a spell consumes a lot of energy," the Evil God frowned. "If we cast this spell to search the lower world, how can we still have the energy to search for successors?"
"Tsk, do you both want to shirk your responsibilities?" The Shura God, who had worked tirelessly for countless years, snorted. "I too want to find a successor and quickly throw off the burden of the God Realm. But this matter concerns the fate of the God Realm and the human race, so naturally, it is more important than my own leisure."
"But the God Realm corresponds to many lower worlds. Where should we begin?" The Evil God asked.
"If the Golden Dragon King's bloodline was truly born in the lower world, it's most likely to appear in the origin place of the Dragon Clan," the Shura God said. "Naturally, we should start looking in the Dragon God's homeland, the Douluo World."
