Returning to the divine realm, the Life Goddess herself received the previous memories and couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head with a hint of amusement and affection in her eyes. "What an interesting child."
At that moment, she truly regarded Tang San as her own son.
For the Life Goddess, any non-divine beings (within the divine realm's jurisdiction) who wielded the power of life were considered her children. After all, she was one of the five original essences left by the creator god who established the divine realm, giving her a perspective different from ordinary mortal beings.
However, in the mortal realm, the only person she recognized now was Tang San.
When the God of Destruction learned about this, he was not overly excited. The child of Life was also his child, and he had already sensed the fluctuations of the power of destruction coming from Douluo Star.
It was evident that Tang San had also made significant progress in the path of destruction.
However, Destruction did not descend to meet Tang San as Life did. After all, the last time he and Life approached Tang San, they were rejected, and he still held a bit of a grudge.
Moreover, he wasn't eager to pass on his position as a god-king.
It wasn't out of a desire for power but for the sake of the divine realm, with aspirations to develop it further.
"Do you think Tang San could surpass the two supreme god-kings in the future?" Destruction suddenly asked.
"Probably not."
The Life Goddess shook her head. "Although Tang San has refined his soul into something akin to a divine soul, with certain nuances I cannot understand, his power is still too weak."
"Moreover, the two supreme god-kings are incarnations of the good and evil thoughts of the creator god. They are essentially the divine soul of a single deity, just like how the Dragon God split into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King."
"All emotions, whether they be the seven emotions and six desires, or joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, can ultimately be categorized into the concepts of 'good' and 'evil.' If Tang San ascends to the divine realm, he will inevitably be subject to their influence, even if he surpasses them in power. Unless he becomes emotionless and purely rational."
The God of Destruction sighed, saying, "If only these two god-kings were more mature, we wouldn't have to worry so much."
Why did Destruction say this?
It was because, despite being the supreme god-kings, their personalities were quite pure and could not be simply categorized as "good and evil." Most of the time, aside from managing the divine realm's core and judging sinful gods or those who erred, they spent their time seeking amusement or on their way to find amusement.
Their nature was childlike—innocent yet capricious.
Destruction feared that in their whims, these "ancestors" who were as old as him and Life might suddenly abandon their duties. If that happened and their successors took over... well, he would be the first to object.
After all, these supreme god-kings were unique. Even if their successors surpassed them in power, they could never surpass them in the laws and principles of "good" and "evil."
How could he ever be truly convinced by such an arrangement?
If such a thing happened, he would inevitably seek control of the divine realm's core, expanding the divine realm and transforming it into a truly powerful divine star.
"Alright, don't worry too much. The two god-kings, while childlike, are not truly children and will not neglect the divine realm," the Life Goddess comforted. "Why not focus more on Asura? I've noticed that he has been getting closer to the Sea God from my lineage, seemingly discussing finding successors to pass on their positions so they can leave the divine realm and explore the broader cosmos."
"Hmph! Asura has become lazy too, thinking of leaving this home. Well, his impatience with the two god-kings is almost common knowledge," Destruction snorted coldly.
In fact, part of the reason why some gods in the divine realm wanted to pass on their positions and explore the vast universe was due to the two supreme god-kings' lack of involvement in affairs, seeking only amusement, leading them to believe that staying in the divine realm had no future...
"Life Goddess is indeed generous," Tang San remarked, smiling at the Nine-Hearted Begonia in his hand.
Unlike ordinary flowers, this one surpassed even celestial-grade items, imbued with celestial spiritual energy. It could truly bring the dead back to life and restore bones to flesh. As long as the soul hadn't completely dissipated, a non-divine being could be perfectly resurrected using this divine Nine-Hearted Begonia, even if their body had perished.
However, whether the resurrected person would be the same as the original due to the issue of the indestructible true spirit was uncertain.
But for mortals, memory and soul are the true markers of identity, not the indestructible true spirit.
"San Ge, what is this flower?" Xiao Wu couldn't sense divine power and was curious about the flower in Tang San's hand, which resembled a Nine-Hearted Begonia.
"A divine Nine-Hearted Begonia. The Life Goddess just visited…" Tang San briefly described how he had recognized the Life Goddess as his godmother. Beside him, Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin lamented, "My son has been taken away. He doesn't recognize his real mother and acknowledges a godmother instead. Is it because he thinks I'm poor?"
Tang San felt a bit awkward and put the divine Nine-Hearted Begonia into the silver-threaded treasure pouch hanging on his white jade belt. "Alright, let's not make this awkward."
Ah Yin quickly composed herself and said, "Now it's time for my sixth spirit ring. The only plant spirit beast that can provide me with the Blue Silver Overlord Spear spirit ability is the Blue Silver King, but it sacrificed itself for you. Otherwise, I would've asked Ah Lan to sacrifice for me. With the Blue Silver Network, her soul could probably manifest."
Ah Lan thought, "This former Blue Silver Emperor is really unreliable. Luckily, I sacrificed quickly and joined the Emperor. Otherwise, I'd be doomed."
"I can help you condense your sixth spirit ring," Tang San said, surprising everyone. Pointing to the Blue Silver Emperor, he continued, "When Ah Lan condensed her spirit ring, I recorded the energy flow. I can use the power of the world to condense a spirit ring with the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor for you."
"Is that really okay? Letting your aura enter my body…" Ah Yin blushed.
"What are you thinking?" Tang San was exasperated. "It's just a spirit ring with the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor. Your perception has been deeply influenced by this body's memories; your previous incarnation must have been a fujoshi."
Ah Yin coughed to cover her embarrassment and changed the topic, "So, you can help others condense spirit rings now? Does this mean Spirit Hall's spirit masters no longer need to hunt spirit beasts?"
"I can only condense spirit rings suitable for Blue Silver Grass spirits. Other plant spirits, as long as they're not too peculiar, should also be able to absorb them," Tang San explained. "As for condensing spirit rings for beast spirits or tool spirits, I can't do that yet. My Blue Silver Emperor is a plant and lacks the aura of animal spirit beasts."
