Chapter 173: Everything Falls into Place
After the conclusion of the Divine Committee meeting, the God of Asura did not obediently stay in his temple as instructed. Instead, he made his way to the Sea God Temple.
"Asura, what brings you here suddenly?" Poseidon, the Sea God, was Asura's closest ally. Whether it was scheming against the Angel God or selecting Tang San and forcibly sending his soul to Douluo Planet, Poseidon had been deeply involved.
"Tang San's situation has been discovered by Destruction!" Asura's expression was grim. "For the time being, Destruction will be watching me closely. You'll have to take over."
Hearing this, Poseidon's face grew solemn. Tang San was their carefully chosen successor, and failure was not an option. He immediately agreed. "Don't worry. Douluo Planet has believers loyal to me. I'll issue a divine decree to ensure they protect Tang San in secret."
"And the Heart of the Sea God," Asura added in a heavy tone. "The original plan was to pass it to him after he completed the trials of the Slaughter City and became my successor. This way, we could conceal it from Destruction and let him simultaneously begin the dual divine inheritance tests. But things have changed. The Angel God's believers on Douluo Planet are already targeting him, especially the protector overseeing the Angel God's divine inheritance. On land, even your High Priest on Sea God Island wouldn't stand a chance against them. You must find a way to deliver the Heart of the Sea God to Tang San as soon as possible to ensure his safety."
"Understood. I'll arrange it immediately."
"Be careful not to let Destruction notice. If both of us come under scrutiny, Douluo Planet will slip entirely out of our control, and our plans will be in jeopardy."
Spirit City, within a room in the Worship Hall.
The oppressive sound of passionate entanglement finally ceased. Qian Renxue nestled in Xiao Yu's embrace but suddenly recalled something. She pinched his waist sharply with her delicate fingers. "You scoundrel! You tricked me!"
Xiao Yu, who wasn't seriously injured, had woken up after a brief rest in the Worship Hall. Seeing Qian Renxue tending to him like a doting wife, he shamelessly exaggerated his injuries to soften her heart. Ultimately, Qian Renxue fell for his ploy and gave in to his advances.
Now, Xiao Yu let Qian Renxue vent her frustration, wisely choosing to remain silent. In this situation, saying too much would only make things worse.
After a while, Qian Renxue finally let go, casting a glare filled with exasperation. "You philanderer! In the end, you still got your way."
Xiao Yu chuckled, wrapping an arm around her slender waist. "Xue'er, if you didn't have feelings for me, how could I have succeeded?"
Qian Renxue snorted softly, conceding in silence. She leaned closer into his embrace, yet her slender fingers suddenly gripped a certain vulnerable part of his body. "You scoundrel! I won't argue about Lingling or Huo Wu, but if you ever dare fool around again, I'll castrate you!"
A chill ran down Xiao Yu's spine as cold sweat broke out.
"Did you hear me?" Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes glared sharply, her tone growing heavier.
"I heard you, and I swear!" With his life quite literally on the line, Xiao Yu had no choice but to comply.
After a pause, partly to shift the topic and partly out of genuine concern, Xiao Yu asked, "What about Tang Hao and Tang San?"
"They escaped," Qian Renxue replied, her answer entirely within Xiao Yu's expectations.
"Was it that despicable one's doing?"
"Exactly. The final strike Tang Hao unleashed during his battle with my grandfather far exceeded his capabilities. It was undoubtedly empowered by divine power, and there's no doubt whose power it was," Qian Renxue said, her tone laced with disdain for the God of Asura. "By the way, while you were unconscious, I spoke to my grandfather. He had some doubts about the information I sent previously, but now everything has been confirmed. He's fully committed, and the Worship Hall will stop at nothing to support us."
Xiao Yu nodded, unsurprised by Qian Daoliu's decision. After all, someone had already tried to sever the roots of their Angel lineage. He couldn't afford to wait passively for someone to put a blade to their throats.
Gently patting Qian Renxue's back, Xiao Yu said, "This time, the God of Asura has acted openly, and it will undoubtedly draw the attention of the Divine Kings. Even if only for appearances, he'll have to lay low for a while. In the meantime, our focus should be on that Sea God who's in cahoots with him."
"The Sea God!" Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed.
Qian Renxue's eyes filled with icy resolve. She hadn't forgotten what Death God Thanatos had once revealed: it was the joint efforts of the Sea God and the Asura God that led to the fall of the original Angel God. If not for the Sea God's interference, the Asura God alone would never have dared to strike against the Angel God.
Xiao Yu spoke gravely, "Although in the Divine Realm the Sea God's power is inferior to the Asura God's, on Douluo Planet, his influence far surpasses that of the Asura God."
Qian Renxue frowned. "Sea God Island?"
She recalled her grandfather mentioning Sea God Island. The island was home to a Titled Douluo of the same level as her grandfather. However, Sea God Island was isolated overseas and had little contact with Douluo Continent, apart from the occasional purchase of essential goods. How could it suddenly become relevant?
"The Asura God shamelessly used divine power to aid Tang Hao and Tang San in escaping. Do you think the Sea God, who's practically his accomplice, would act with any more integrity?" Xiao Yu scoffed, noticing the doubt in Qian Renxue's eyes. "Sea God Island is the center of his faith. Even if he issues a divine decree, the Divine Realm won't think much of it."
Qian Renxue clenched her teeth in frustration. "Those two despicable scoundrels!"
Xiao Yu found her anger endearing. Seeing her puffed-up cheeks, he couldn't resist gently pinching her face. "Don't let them get to you, my dear Xue'er. Your husband will figure out a way to vent your frustration."
Qian Renxue snorted softly. She was too annoyed to even care about his terms of endearment or his bold gestures. "What kind of scheme are you plotting now?"
Xiao Yu smirked slyly. "Do you know about the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
Qian Renxue answered without hesitation, "Of course. It's the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure. What does that have to do with any of this?"
Xiao Yu grinned mischievously. "It has everything to do with it. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud has another name—Sea God's Heart."
"The Sea God!" Qian Renxue's expression shifted as she pieced it together. "Are you saying it's the Sea God's relic?"
"Exactly."
Xiao Yu's grin widened. "Now think about it. If the relic were taken away, how would that affect the compatibility of the inheritance test for the Sea God's divine position?"
"I'll send someone to retrieve it right away!" Qian Renxue exclaimed, attempting to rise. "The Heaven Dou Empire's treasury has long been under my control. Even if it's a national treasure, retrieving it will be child's play!"
"Ouch!" Before she could stand, Xiao Yu pulled her back into his arms. With a mischievous glint in his eye, he said, "There's no rush. Xue'er, the night is still young. Let's focus on more... enjoyable matters."
"You scoundrel!" Qian Renxue shouted, her cheeks flushed.
