After Zhao Ling returned to the Douluo mortal realm, the Sea God, Food God, and Nine-Colored Goddess began discussing at the residence.
"I can't believe it. That person said he'd take most of the Heaven and Earth elemental energy from the God Realm, but he even took so much of the immortal spiritual energy along with it." The Food God shook his head, somewhat dejected. His strength, which had slightly improved, had once again stagnated, leaving them feeling regretful.
"What's there to be afraid of? Isn't it better that he took the immortal spiritual energy? When he establishes the new God Realm in the future and lets us enter it, won't that benefit us even more?" The Sea God disagreed. Those Heaven and Earth elemental energies were originally drawn into the Douluo God Realm from other worlds when that person broke through, causing a void in the sky and an incredibly dense influx of energy. Wasn't it only natural for him to take back the excess now? If he hadn't caused the influx of otherworldly Heaven and Earth elemental energy into their Douluo God Realm, they wouldn't have enjoyed that dense elemental energy in the first place.
"That's true, but I just feel that since he took so much of the immortal spiritual energy, and we just pretended not to know, I feel a bit sorry for our friends." The Food God pondered for a moment before hesitantly replying.
"What's there to be sorry about? You can't get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse can't get fat without night fodder. Why should we care so much? As long as we can enjoy it later, that's all that matters. Just thinking about being able to see such a handsome man every day makes me feel so happy."
The Nine-Colored Goddess's eyes had turned into stars, like a crazed fan seeing her idol, almost making the Food God break down.
"Um… I'm not dead yet. Can you please not praise other men so openly in front of me?"
"Petty! I just think he's handsome; I didn't say I was going to divorce you and marry him. The key is… he might not even fancy me, sigh…" The Nine-Colored Goddess sighed, and the Food God felt as if there was a green prairie growing on top of his head.
The Sea God raised his hand and gently patted the Food God's shoulder.
"You'd better keep an eye on her, or she might really give you something you shouldn't wear one day."
The Food God's face instantly became even more bitter. He wanted to keep an eye on his wife too, but if his wife's heart wasn't with him, he couldn't keep her.
The Nine-Colored Goddess suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, saying to the Food God,
"That's right, you'd better treat me as well as possible. Whatever I want, you'd better fulfill it, or else, you know the consequences…"
"…"
The Food God's expression grew even more bitter. Sigh, no human rights. He had no human rights at all, and his wife was even threatening him now. Seeing this, the Nine-Colored Goddess quickly stepped forward and kissed the Food God on the cheek.
"Alright, don't be so depressed. No matter how handsome other men are, they're not my type. You are my home. You should at least have some confidence in yourself."
After being kissed, the Food God's bitter expression immediately turned into a happy one. The Sea God, feeling the sour smell of romance, shook his head.
"Fine, I won't stay here and be an eyesore. Seriously. I was enjoying my meal, and suddenly I'm inexplicably fed a mouthful of dog food. Can't we just play nicely?"
With that, the Sea God left the residence of the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess. He felt that if he didn't leave soon, he would be suffocated by the dog food from the couple. Sigh… The life of a single man is truly unbearable…
Meanwhile, the five God Realm enforcers — Asura, Life, Destruction, Good, and Evil — had gathered together. The Douluo God Realm had suddenly been intruded upon by an unknown powerful being, who also absorbed most of the Heaven and Earth elemental energy and immortal spiritual energy. This directly caused the God Realm, which had originally expanded more than tenfold, to revert to its original size. In the eyes of these five God Realm enforcers, this was unacceptable. How could that unknown powerful being do such an excessive thing, monopolizing so much Heaven and Earth elemental energy and immortal spiritual energy? It was truly an egregious crime, and the five of them were discussing how to deal with that unknown powerful being.
However, the other party's identity was simply too mysterious, and their strength was probably absurdly powerful. Their mastery of spatial laws far surpassed that of the God of Space, making it impossible for any of the five of them to ascertain their location. Even the God of Space could only barely detect an extremely powerful presence in that space. This made the five God Realm enforcers feel very uneasy. However, no matter how much they discussed, they couldn't come up with a solution to deal with the other party. It could be said that the crisis the Douluo God Realm faced this time was the first they had encountered since they each became enforcers. Even the so-called Dragon God back then would probably be insignificant in front of this mysterious powerful being, so the five of them couldn't help but fall silent…
While Zhao Ling was busy perfecting the Eighteen Realms Spatial Domain in his Dantian, Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and the three elders finally arrived at Sea God Island. Upon disembarking on Sea God Island, their group was immediately surrounded by the islanders. Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and the three elders all behaved very humbly, earnestly requesting to see the Sea God Douluo and stating that they had very important matters to discuss.
Upon seeing the two brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo immediately recognized them. After all, these two brothers had once cultivated on Sea God Island. The Seven Sacred Pillars had even followed the Demon Suppressing Doulou's orders, creating all sorts of difficulties and making the brothers suffer greatly. However, these brothers were also quite remarkable figures, enduring and ultimately persevering through such arduous training.
But now, these fellows were actually clamoring to see Lord Poseidon. How preposterous! Lord Poseidon was now a true inheritor of the Sea God's divine position, just half a step away from truly becoming the Sea God. Didn't they find it ridiculous that these fellows were clamoring to see her now? So, Sea Dragon Douluo ordered all the Clear Sky Sect members to be driven off the island.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were extremely anxious, repeatedly stating that they had a very important matter that concerned the Sea God Douluo's happiness for the rest of her life. Sea Dragon Douluo and the other six Sacred Pillars exchanged strange glances. What "happiness for the rest of her life"? Could something have happened to the Demon Suppressing Doulou? That shouldn't be possible; the Demon Suppressing Doulou's strength was many times greater than Lord Poseidon's. How could anything go wrong? Sea Dragon Douluo then asked what the matter was.
Tang Hao then earnestly brought up Tang Chen's matter, saying that Tang Chen and Poseidon were deeply in love. Tang Chen was now in great trouble, and if Poseidon found out, she would surely be incredibly anxious. When Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Horse Douluo, and the other Seven Sacred Pillars heard Tang Hao say these things so earnestly, they were all initially stunned, then burst into uproarious laughter.
What Clear Sky Douluo? Perhaps this matter would have made Lord Poseidon anxious decades ago. But now, Lord Poseidon was entirely devoted to the Demon Suppressing Doulou. As for that troublesome Tang Chen, she probably forgot about him long ago.
