"Alas, I really guessed right."
"I should be laughing, but instead, I can't muster a smile; my heart is filled with deep sorrow."
After hearing the latest news obtained by the Old Shura God, Poseidon shook his head bitterly.
After a long silence, the Old Shura God said in a hoarse voice, "How tragic. Without my leadership, the spine of the Divine Realm's Deities has been broken.
If I had known this would happen, I would never have left any godhood legacy on Soul Land. As long as the Asura God Position remained with me, none of this mess would have arisen."
Without a doubt, the Old Shura God was deeply regretful by now.
If it weren't for using the Asura God Position as a stepping stone for Qin Xiao, what would he be right now?
Would he have grown to this point?
After listening to the Old Shura God's words, Poseidon seemed stunned for a moment before saying, "Indeed, if you put it that way, you truly are the root cause of the disaster."
However.
These words only drew the Old Shura God's contempt.
"Go away. How am I important enough to be the root cause? You are the real culprit. If you hadn't passed on the Sea God position to Qin Xiao, none of this would have happened."
"Ah, this..."
With the Old Shura God revealing his past, Poseidon's face showed an embarrassed look.
"I was also deceived by Qin Xiao back then. Who knew that lad would be so rebellious, outright defiling the godhood I bestowed upon him."
"Forget it, let's not talk about the past. There's really no point."
Poseidon waved his hand, indicating that they should move on from the past.
But seeing the gods subdued, he could no longer see any hope, "Asura God, everything is already settled. Should we just commit suicide and be reborn?"
Poseidon suggested once again.
In short, he saw no hope of living on.
Of course, even if they could barely survive in this cave, he would refuse.
Is this a place for people?
Pah.
Nothing but sewer rats. Not even a dog would stay here.
"Reincarnation? Can't you have some dignity?"
The face under the Old Shura God's mask was covered in black lines.
Poseidon became somewhat frustrated, "I really don't know what you're holding onto. There's absolutely no point."
"Who says that?"
"We haven't reached a dead end yet; at least we still have a chance to make Qin Xiao pay."
Poseidon noticed that the Old Shura God's voice was growing hoarse.
Experience told him that the Old Shura God might be planning something big.
But everyone's just a Divine officer; what power do you have left?
There was no need for Poseidon to ask; the Old Shura God had already seen the skepticism in Poseidon's eyes, and he nodded affirmatively, "Of course, we still have the power, what about Divine officers?
We might be weak, but we could still plunge the Divine Realm into complete ruin!"
As he spoke, the Old Shura God pointed at his own head.
Divine officers could bring the Divine Realm to complete ruin?
Honestly, Poseidon wasn't very convinced.
But then, a look of horror appeared in his eyes...
"Wait, are you saying you want to..."
Before he could finish, the Old Shura God took over the conversation and continued, "You're right. The method I'm speaking of involves the one hundred and eight Thought Force Pillars that support the Divine Realm.
You know, these one hundred and eight Thought Force Pillars connect to a hundred and eight worlds, drawing strength continuously from these worlds to maintain the operation of the Divine Realm and strengthen its defensive capabilities.
Frankly speaking, they are the foundation of the Divine Realm. But what if these one hundred and eight Pillars of Heaven collapsed?"
Hiss... On hearing this, Poseidon took a sharp intake of breath.
```
One must admit, the Asura God's plan is truly ruthless.
If it were to succeed, the impact on the Divine Realm would be immense.
"Gurgle. If all one hundred and eight Pillars of Heaven were to collapse, it would be akin to pulling out the foundation of the Divine Realm, and the Divine Realm would sway like a building about to fall amidst a storm."
"Heh, Sea God, your vision is still rather shortsighted."
The Old Shura God's voice was laden with undisguised mockery, "Do you think I have exerted so much effort just to make the Divine Realm enter a state of instability?"
"What else could it be? Do you have a better plan?"
"Hmph, how could simply frightening them alleviate the hatred in my heart?
Poseidon, do you remember the time-space turbulence that attacked the Divine Realm countless years ago?"
Upon hearing the Old Shura God's question, Poseidon replied almost without hesitation: "Of course I remember, the Divine Realm paid a heavy price for that catastrophe.
And that time-space turbulence was merely one-fifth the destructive power of a full-scale one.
Its degree of harm is only second in history to the disaster brought by the Dragon God. It could be ranked second... no, that's not right."
Poseidon hastily corrected himself, "Now with Qin Xiao posing the greatest calamity, it should be ranked first.
The once formidable Dragon God can only be second, followed by the one-fifth scale time-space turbulence."
"You are not wrong..." The Old Shura God nodded slightly, "But I believe that a full-scale time-space turbulence would definitely be more powerful in terms of destruction than both the Dragon God and Qin Xiao."
Upon hearing this, how could Poseidon not understand the Old Shura God's intentions, "So, you want to trigger a time-space turbulence to devour the Divine Realm?"
"You finally understand, my explanation was not in vain."
The Old Shura God's tone was like that of a father facing a son who had suddenly had a breakthrough in understanding, full of satisfaction.
"However, I need to clarify one thing: I don't have the cultivation level necessary to create a time-space turbulence, what I want to do is draw in an already existing one.
And with the disappearance of the one hundred and eight Thought Force Pillars, the Divine Realm will be as fragile as an egg without its shell, making it even easier to destroy."
"Asura God, you really dare to think big."
"Hmph, without being ruthless, we could only stay in this place without sunlight."
"But have you considered, according to your plan, whether it's destroying the one hundred and eight Thought Force Pillars or drawing in a time-space turbulence, it's all a dead end."
"Then let's die where we stand, at least we'll have the entire Divine Realm as our funeral accompaniment, won't we?"
"If that's the case, it's not too bad!"
Poseidon, upon hearing this, nodded heavily.
He had also made up his mind.
Let's do this!
"Haha, you haven't disappointed me after all."
The Old Shura God laughed contentedly, "To push the time-space turbulence or destroy the Thought Force Pillar, which do you choose?"
Choose which one?
Poseidon hesitated for a moment.
It was like choosing between two paths, both leading to death...
After a moment's hesitation, Poseidon asked tentatively, "I want to know, which way would be less painful to die?"
The Old Shura God said, "Destroying the Thought Force Pillar would be best, for if Qin Xiao finds out, you'd be killed instantly."
Poseidon nodded, "Then I will choose to destroy the Thought Force Pillar."
...
Time flies.
A half-month passed in the blink of an eye.
In this half a month, in order to find the Old Shura God and Poseidon, Qin Xiao almost turned the Divine Realm upside down and still couldn't find them.
After listening to the reports from the deities at the lower seats, Qin Xiao was puzzled—where on earth had the Old Shura God and Poseidon gone?
However.
At that very moment, the ground of the Divine Realm trembled violently.
