Chapter 256: The Fall of Gods Begins

  “The Asura Divine Sword… how did it end up in your hands…”

  The Goddess of Kindness also voiced her astonishment, suddenly realizing something. “Could it be that your presence in the Divine Realm is also connected to Qin Xiao?”

  She remembered the God of Destruction mentioning that Qin Xiao destroyed the Asura God position, absorbing its power to forge his own.

  The Asura Divine Sword must have fallen into Qin Xiao’s hands, yet now it was controlled by the Dragon God. The implications were clear.

  The Evil God’s pupils contracted sharply, a chill running down his spine.

  If that was true, then they—the gods of the Divine Realm—had been completely deceived.

  “No wonder you’re the King of Gods; you’re not entirely clueless,” Gu Yuena remarked with a mocking smile.

  At this point, there was no need to hide anything further.

  “What surprises me, though, is that neither of you chose to side with the God of Destruction or the Goddess of Life. Why is that? Could it be you realized your past mistakes?”

  The faces of the Kindness God and Evil God turned pale and then flushed in response to Gu Yuena’s questioning.

  The Evil God replied gravely, “Right or wrong doesn’t matter for now. We just don’t want any more suffering in the Divine Realm…”

  “Hahaha, ‘right or wrong doesn’t matter’…”

  Gu Yuena ughed up at the sky, as if she had just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

  “If you don’t care about right or wrong, then let’s settle it in the simplest way. The victor is always right.”

  As Gu Yuena’s voice faded, a crimson fme ignited on the Asura Divine Sword in her hand.

  A terrifying surge of divine power erupted like a volcano.

  The ws themselves seemed to boil within the void.

  The elements—blue water, green wind, red fire, yellow earth, along with light, darkness, and space—all gathered and solidified around Gu Yuena.

  The Gods of Kindness and Evil instantly felt an overwhelming pressure.

  The Dragon God had once possessed power rivaling multiple god-kings in battle. Although Gu Yuena was no longer at her peak, they were clearly struggling to face her.

  “Dragon God, do you really think you can take us down so easily? Even if only the two of us are here, we are still god-kings.

  Don't forget, this is the Divine Realm. Besides us, there are still a dozen primary gods, hundreds of second-tier gods, thousands of third-tier gods, and tens of thousands of divine officers.

  If you leave now, you still have a chance to survive. Otherwise, even if we wanted to let you go, it would be impossible.”

  The Evil God’s expression turned icy.

  “Ha! Evil God, for a god-king, those are rather ughable words, don’t you think?”

  Gu Yuena’s smile only widened, her expression one of utter disdain. “Ask yourself, do you think they pose a threat to me?

  If I wish to leave, can they stop me?

  Moreover, you and Kindness have repeatedly tried to send messages to the outside. Did you succeed? Has anyone responded?”

  What!?

  With her words, the faces of the Gods of Kindness and Evil changed once more.

  Gu Yuena was right. Upon realizing her overwhelming strength, they had sent out calls for aid, hoping for reinforcement.

  Yet no matter how many messages they sent, they disappeared without a trace.

  The truth was now evident: Gu Yuena had intercepted their communications.

  Realizing this, the Gods of Kindness and Evil stopped hesitating. They unleashed their divine powers—one white, one bck—attacking the surroundings with furious energy.

  But it was in vain. Their divine powers struck a multicolored barrier, created from the seven elements, which held firm against them.

  “To be honest, I’ve been waiting for you both, using a space barrier forged from the seven elements.

  It's not that I’m underestimating you, but with your current strength, breaking this barrier would take you at least a decade.

  Rather than wasting time, you might as well try to kill me. As soon as I die, the barrier will colpse instantly.

  And from the outside, no one will notice anything unusual—the seal will remain untouched.”

  Gu Yuena expined casually.

  Watching the Gods of Kindness and Evil frantically attack the barrier, she felt a rush of satisfaction.

  The satisfaction of revenge.

  Seeing them tormented and helpless, she felt no urgency to strike.

  Besides, her current strength didn’t guarantee an easy victory over the two of them.

  A head-on confrontation would be risky and not worth it.

  She would rather wait until Qin Xiao dealt with the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction; then they could easily trap these two together.

  “Gu Yuena, do you really think you have us cornered? Let me tell you, your ally Qin Xiao is now up against the Goddess of Life, the God of Destruction, and the Seven Deadly Sins Gods. Do you honestly believe Qin Xiao can defeat such a force?”

  With several failed attempts to break through the barrier, the Evil God decided to change tactics.

  He aimed to unsettle Gu Yuena.

  However, Gu Yuena merely smiled and said, “Then let’s wait and see.

  But instead of worrying about Qin Xiao, perhaps you should be more concerned about the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction…”

  This...

  The Gods of Kindness and Evil froze, momentarily speechless.

  But what could they do now?

  Could the Goddess of Life and God of Destruction hold their ground against Qin Xiao…?

  They were deeply troubled.

  “Why haven’t we received any response from the Gods of Kindness and Evil after all this time?”

  On the battlefield outside Douluo Star, the Goddess of Life was growing increasingly anxious.

  They had sent out multiple calls, enough to reach them several times over by now.

  In fact, the Goddess of Life had sent additional messages, but none had returned.

  A thought suddenly struck her: “Could it be that the Gods of Kindness and Evil, upset by our actions, have chosen to let us face the consequences on our own?”

  Her heart sank.

  If that were true…

  She couldn’t really bme them.

  But still, considering the character of the Gods of Kindness and Evil, they wouldn’t act this way…

  “Little Green, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and heal me!

  The Gods of Sloth and the others can’t hold off Qin Xiao for much longer!”

  A desperate voice shouted nearby.

  Looking over, the Goddess of Life saw the God of Destruction, his clothes in tatters and his body covered in deep wounds, his face filled with worry.

  “To be injured so badly…” The Goddess of Life’s gaze flickered with pain.

  She raised her hands, releasing her vibrant life energy, surrounding the God of Destruction in a radiant green light.

  The God of Destruction’s wounds began to heal visibly, color returning to his face.

  The God of Destruction hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Little Green, at this point, we can no longer handle Qin Xiao on our own.”

  “You want me to seek help from the Gods of Kindness and Evil?”

  The Goddess of Life immediately understood what the God of Destruction was implying.

  Looking slightly embarrassed, the God of Destruction said, “There are some things I’m not suited to say.”

  As the proudest god-king in the Divine Realm, it was difficult for him to bow his head.

  People often say that he won’t turn back until he hits a wall, but even if he does, turning back isn’t an option for him.

  So, he could only ask the Goddess of Life to approach them.

  “Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I understand.” The Goddess of Life’s gaze flickered briefly as she sighed. “In fact, I sent a message to the Gods of Kindness and Evil quite some time ago, but I still haven’t received a response.”

  She stopped speaking, as she, too, couldn’t comprehend why she hadn’t heard back from them.

  It was too soon to jump to conclusions.

  “What?”

  “You’re saying you already sent the message, but they still haven’t replied?”

  The God of Destruction’s expression changed upon hearing this.

  To him, this could only mean that the Gods of Kindness and Evil bore a grudge against him and were intentionally leaving him to die.

  He was getting anxious. “But we’re in a dire situation here—one wrong step and it could mean the fall of the gods!”

  “I made sure to stress the urgency of our situation in my ter messages.”

  “I even reported the death of the God of Wrath early on, yet the result was the same.”

  The Goddess of Life sighed inwardly.

  Even she couldn’t help but wonder if the Gods of Kindness and Evil were simply waiting to see them fall as a way of mocking them.

  “Unbelievable!”

  The God of Destruction was infuriated after hearing the Goddess of Life’s words. “They’re doing this on purpose, no doubt about it! Just because we didn’t follow their advice, they’re hoping Qin Xiao will weaken our power for them!”

  “Little Purple, calm down. There might be some reason for their dey,” the Goddess of Life said, not wanting to speak ill of the Gods of Kindness and Evil.

  To be honest, compared to the God of Destruction, she believed the Gods of Kindness and Evil had a broader perspective. In contrast, the God of Destruction tended to act more impulsively and emotionally.

  “Little Green, you’re too kind-hearted, always seeing the best in everyone. But I believe the Gods of Kindness and Evil are willing to do whatever it takes for control over the Divine Realm.

  Think about it—now that the Asura God position no longer exists, the Divine Committee will be dominated by us four god-kings and the other primary gods.

  From our st council meeting, you should have noticed that we have the Seven Deadly Sins on our side, while they have the Seven Elemental Gods, putting us at an even bance.

  But if our supporters fall, this bance would be disrupted, and the committee would become a puppet for the Gods of Kindness and Evil.”

  In an instant, the God of Destruction’s thoughts took off, and he shared his candid views with the Goddess of Life.

  However, the Goddess of Life’s expression darkened.

  “Little Green, what’s wrong?”

  The God of Destruction noticed the change and asked with concern.

  The Goddess of Life frowned and replied, “Destruction, your words and actions disgust me.”

  This time, she addressed him as “Destruction” rather than “Little Purple.”

  In her heart, she felt that the God of Destruction had become hopelessly lost in his lust for power within the Divine Realm.

  He was no longer the simple-minded Little Purple she once knew.

  He had changed.

  Everything had changed.

  Suddenly, she felt that, apart from his title as the God of Destruction, there was nothing familiar about him anymore.

  “Little Green.”

  The God of Destruction opened his mouth, not expecting his words to provoke such a reaction.

  “Destruction, there’s something else I need to tell you. After this healing, I’ll have only a tenth of my divine power left and will no longer be able to heal anyone.

  If we continue to fight Qin Xiao, the cost will be even greater—perhaps more than any of us can bear.”

  The Goddess of Life gave the God of Destruction a stern warning, revealing the situation.

  “Your divine power depleted so quickly?”

  The God of Destruction’s eyes widened in surprise.

  He had been fighting Qin Xiao for a long time, yet still had half of his divine power left. How could the Goddess of Life, who only occasionally healed the injured, have used up more power than they had?

  What’s more, the Goddess of Life was essentially their life support; as long as no one suffered a catastrophic injury like the God of Wrath had, they didn’t have to fear the risk of death.

  In other words, as long as the Goddess of Life was around, they could fight Qin Xiao without holding back.

  But without her support…

  The outcome of the battle would be far less certain.

  “Qin Xiao’s divine power is highly destructive, even surpassing yours in potency.

  To give you an idea, healing the damage you suffer requires double the energy needed to heal injuries inflicted by others. Do you understand now?”

  The Goddess of Life patiently expined the reason to the God of Destruction.

  “Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I could have warned everyone to be more cautious!”

  The God of Destruction’s expression shifted again, and he hurried back to the battlefield.

  He needed to stop the remaining six Deadly Sin Gods from recklessly charging forward.

  If they sustained serious injuries, there would be no way to fully heal them.

  Watching the God of Destruction’s retreating figure, the Goddess of Life felt a pang in her heart.

  ‘Doesn’t he realize that I kept this from them to avoid causing panic?’

  ‘None of us here fear death, but if I told them that I couldn’t heal them, how many would truly fight to the death?’

  ‘If anyone shows hesitation or fear, it would shatter the stalemate, plunging us into utter defeat.’

  The Goddess of Life felt a heavy burden she couldn’t express.

  She had kept everything to herself, secretly communicating with the Gods of Kindness and Evil—all for the sake of the God of Destruction.

  Boom!

  Boom!

  Boom!

  Amidst a series of intense explosions, the Goddess of Life saw several figures flying backward in beams of light.

  Among those figures, she recognized familiar faces: the Gods of Pride, Sloth, Gluttony, Envy, and even the God of Destruction.

  At this moment, the once-proud gods of the Divine Realm showed traces of fear, including the God of Destruction, who looked as though he had just seen something terrifying.

  “Hahaha! You, a revered god-king, respected by all the gods, yet you turn your loyal followers into pawns at the critical moment. Aren’t you ashamed?”

  Following the ughter, Qin Xiao stepped out from the dark void, cd in battle armor.

  Unlike the gods, who appeared disheveled, he was brimming with confidence and energy.

  The Goddess of Life noticed that Qin Xiao held a severed head in each hand.

  One was the God of Greed.

  The other was the God of Lust.
