Chapter 444: Tang San's Fury
At this moment, Tang San was smiling as he looked at Wang Dong. It wasn't because seeing his daughter made him happy it was because he was about to put her through rigorous trials. The thought of his daughter enduring challenges in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, laying the foundation for becoming his right hand in the future, filled him with joy.
Of course, if he could also find his long lost New Star, that would be even better. A divine king choosing a son in law what a perfect scenario!
However, since he had been unable to locate New Star, his hatred for the God of Destruction had only deepened.
If not for that bastard secretly meddling, how could I, a divine king with so many subordinates, still fail to find New Star?
Ever since he had spied on the mortal world and seen the Shrek group enter the Western Mountains, he had immediately split his daughter's divine consciousness once again, allowing Wang Dong to regain control of her body.
For someone as powerful as his daughter, forcibly splitting her consciousness was undoubtedly painful. But Tang San firmly believed that only by enduring suffering could she break free from her pampered existence and truly grow stronger.
Before long, under Ning Rongrong's guidance, it was Wang Dong's turn to take the second adventure trial. As she controlled the roulette, it spun rapidly.
Although both Tang San and Ning Rongrong had only sent divine officer level projections, Tang San was, after all, a divine king. When it came to manipulating divine consciousness, he was far superior to Ning Rongrong. Even if he used a few tricks behind the scenes, Ning Rongrong wouldn't notice.
And so, he secretly influenced the roulette's outcome.
He had his reasons for doing this.
First, he had always maintained the image of the ever righteous Tang San in front of Ning Rongrong. Even after ascending to the Divine Realm as an impartial law enforcer, he had never let that image waver in her eyes.
Thus, he had to keep up the act. He couldn't blatantly cheat to control the roulette, as it would ruin his reputation. Instead, he had to manipulate it covertly.
Second, he wanted Wang Dong to enter the deep adventure trial. Only through extreme trials could she undergo the greatest growth. However, some of the adventure symbols on the roulette represented challenges that could be completed. He needed Wang Dong to either refuse the challenge or fail it, thereby forcing her into the deep adventure.
That was why he had to interfere at this stage.
Suddenly, the spinning roulette jammed.
Ning Rongrong was stunned. She had no idea why this was happening. Quickly scanning the mechanism, she realized that the roulette had stopped because it had lost its energy supply.
But how could Qiankun Wenqing Valley run out of energy?
This was the place where the Love God had fallen. It housed her corpse, divine position, and divine artifact. Since divine positions in the Divine Realm were limited, the gods valued the Love God's position immensely.
After all, if someone inherited the Love God's position, the Divine Realm could absorb even more faith power, strengthening itself.
Currently, the gods were hoping for a new Love God to emerge.
Although the original Love God had doubted the very concept of love leading to her self destruction and the fragmentation of her divine position her divine position was still valuable.
Even though inheriting the damaged Love God's position might initially weaken the inheritor, over time, the position would recover. Countless beings still believed in love, ensuring a steady supply of faith power.
This situation was different from the first Phoenix God's broken divine position.
That divine position had been damaged when the first Phoenix God battled the Dragon God, leading to severe degradation. Restoring it would require immense faith power and an incredibly long time.
But what the Dragon God could do was beyond what the Love God was capable of. The Dragon God had been far stronger.
Even though the Love God had self destructed, the resulting damage to her divine position had merely turned it from a complete position into a fragmented one it hadn't caused a drastic downgrade.
At that moment, Tang San sensed that something was wrong.
His divine consciousness expanded, covering the entire Qiankun Wenqing Valley as he conducted a thorough search.
Moments later, his expression darkened.
"Ning Rongrong, the Love God's corpse and divine artifact have vanished right under our noses!
This is nothing short of despicable theft! Whoever did this must be a god and a powerful one at that. Otherwise, we would have detected their actions."
"What?! Someone stole the Love God's corpse and artifact right in front of us?
No wonder the valley lost its energy source! Without the Love God's corpse and artifact, Qiankun Wenqing Valley can no longer absorb energy, which means the trials can't continue!" Ning Rongrong's expression darkened.
She realized she wouldn't be able to continue enjoying herself in Qiankun Wenqing Valley.
Now, the Shrek students needed to be relocated immediately.
With the corpse, divine position, and artifact stolen, Qiankun Wenqing Valley had lost its very foundation.
It wouldn't be long before the entire valley collapsed.
Ensuring the students' safety was now the priority.
Tang San was boiling with rage.
His thoughts raced.
It must be the God of Destruction! Who else could have made the divine position, corpse, and artifact vanish into thin air? That damn Destruction he keeps ruining my plans! He's already sealed his fate!
Divine Realm
Above a pitch black castle, lightning crackled wildly, coiling through the sky like enraged dragons.
Thunder rumbled, shaking the heavens.
The God of Destruction sat on his throne, reviewing official matters.
Since Tang San had been temporarily stripped of his status as a law enforcer, all cases that required a law enforcer's judgment had been handed over to him and the Goddess of Life.
As a result, their workload had increased significantly, making them even busier than before.
But the God of Destruction had no complaints.
He believed that everything he did was to safeguard the interests of the gods. Even if his workload increased, he didn't mind.
Suddenly, he felt the Divine Realm's central hub heating up in his arms.
This was a bad omen.
He pulled it out, holding it in his hands. Channeling his divine power into it, he searched for the source of the problem.
Moments later, he discovered that the disturbance was coming from Qiankun Wenqing Valley.
To mortals, Qiankun Wenqing Valley appeared as an ordinary valley on the Douluo Continent. But that was merely its outer layer.
Its inner core was a crucial intersection between Douluo Star and the Divine Realm, extremely close to the Divine Realm's barrier.
Now, its inner core was showing signs of collapse.
Could it be that someone has inherited the Love God's divine position and become the new Love God?
