The God of Destruction's gaze was calm. He gently held the Goddess of Life's hand, which had appeared beside him at some point, and said in a tranquil tone:
"Hmm, this is that Douluo Plane."
He gazed at the Douluo Plane, his eyes falling upon the three conspicuous Luck.
The reason he noticed Tang San's sudden action was entirely because this Douluo Plane was simply too conspicuous!
For an ordinary Plane's Plane Will, fostering one Son of Luck was already close to its limit.
And before today's incident, the Douluo Plane already had two Sons of Luck.
One was the Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, in the Star Dou Great Forest. It accounted for roughly twenty percent of the total Luck, and its Luck coverage was limited to the Star Dou Great Forest, belonging to the Spirit Beast race.
The other was a descendant of the same clan as that Tier 2 Divinity, the God of War, who had not yet started and was still young. This individual accounted for eighty percent of the Luck accumulated by the Douluo Plane over the past ten thousand years. The Luck was so dense it was almost tangible.
Barring any accidents, this was someone with the potential to condense his own God Position, just like the two exceptionally talented Tier 1 Divinity who ascended from the Douluo Plane in the past: the First Sea God and the First Angel God.
He used to think that Tang San was lucky, with the Douluo Plane under his jurisdiction producing many talents. In a while, he would likely gain several subordinate Divinities with great potential for future advancement.
Furthermore, if the Douluo Plane continued to produce talents in the future, these talents would likely join Tang San's faction, posing no small trouble for his plan to expand the God Realm.
However, it now seemed there was clearly something fishy going on!
The Plane Will, when perceiving a Divinity who originated from its own Plane, maintains a naturally friendly attitude, similar to a human mother seeing her grown-up, successful child.
This is also why the God Realm has the rule, "Divinity have jurisdiction over the Plane from which they ascended."
However, what was the situation now?
After Tang San's Divine Thought was perceived by the Plane Will, the Plane Will immediately reacted with a shock, like an ungrateful son preparing to go home and steal money, only to be discovered by his old mother who picked up a broom and beat him out.
This was by no means a normal interaction between a Divinity and the Plane from which he ascended.
And today's situation perfectly proved this point.
The Plane Will actively splitting Luck to create another Son of Luck was illogical, and Tang San then trying to directly interfere with the Lower Realm to attack this Son of Luck was even more illogical!
There was clearly some scheme of Tang San's involved, and it was detrimental to the Douluo Plane!
The God of Destruction looked at the three conspicuous Luck above the Douluo Plane, and a few guesses involuntarily arose in his mind.
Could it be… Tang San wanted to treat the Douluo Plane as a vegetable garden, harvesting Luck?
The God of Destruction frowned, remaining silent. Harvesting Luck from the Lower Realm was absolutely against the rules of the God Realm. If confirmed, this one act alone would be enough for the God Realm's central authority to sanction Tang San!
The God of Destruction was somewhat uncertain. After thinking for a moment, the projection of the Douluo Plane in front of him rapidly enlarged, revealing someone's figure sitting in a laboratory. At the same time, someone's life experiences were also displayed beside it.
"System shaping… spirit ring conception… and also some special fate shielding, making it impossible to peek into memories…"
The God of Destruction murmured unconsciously, his eyes brightening.
This is a talent!
Compared to the previous Son of Luck who carried eighty percent of the Douluo Plane's ten-thousand-year accumulated Luck, this kid had the complete potential to become a Divinity independently!
"The first reaction upon seeing such a talent isn't to recruit him, but to act and prepare to bully and kill him… Heh… Asura, you know who can disgust me…"
The God of Destruction recalled his former rival, his expression showing a hint of displeasure. Yet, with a raised hand, he sent out a divine force, directly anchoring it onto someone.
A talent with a high probability of becoming a Divinity was worth his early investment. What's more… if Tang San still didn't give up and attacked again, then this would also be a leverageable handle, and he would have a reason to act against Tang San… "Xiao Zi…"
Beside him, the Goddess of Life's tone carried a hint of uncertainty.
The God of Destruction immediately withdrew his thoughts and looked at the Goddess of Life, "What's wrong, Xiao Lu?"
"My God Position tells me…" The Goddess of Life frowned slightly, pointing at someone's projection in front of them with an almost astonished tone, "…It has found a successor who meets the standards."
"?!"
The God of Destruction froze for a moment, asking with some uncertainty:
"I remember, Xiao Lu, the standard you set for God Position inheritance was… having greater potential than you in the control of life?"
"Yes…"
The God of Destruction became serious, his gaze following the direction of the Goddess of Life's finger, looking at someone in the projection.
However, just as he was carefully observing someone for a moment… a clear message was transmitted into his mind from his God Position—
—God Position successor found.
The God of Destruction: "???"
No way… why did his God Position also move?!
The God of Destruction fell into a deep silence… Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu, Kong Family Mansion.
At this moment, in Kong Ming'an's spiritual sea, he was in deep silence, looking at the white humanoid figure in front of him.
He felt like he had been set up!
He had just finished the purification work of the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, and then a spatial rift coincidentally appeared in front of him. Then, quite coincidentally, Ilieks's remnant soul floated out from it and decided to make a deal with him… You're telling me no one set him up?
Looking at Ilieks, who was currently overseeing the Fusion of the Gold of Living Beings with his body, Kong Ming'an pondered.
First was his own existence. Undoubtedly, he had now been noticed by certain high-level existences.
And most likely, he had already been marked by that pure and noble God King Tang. If he were to deduce based on the logic in the books he remembered… to that God King Tang, he was an unexpected existence that obstructed his ten-thousand-year plan. To avoid accidents, he should be immediately eliminated.
From this perspective, Ilieks's appearance had nothing to do with that God King Tang. After all, he was already someone who needed to be eliminated, so it was naturally impossible for him to be given any Opportunity.
So… it was other existences.
Kong Ming'an thought for a moment and quickly arrived at an answer—the Plane Will.
To be able to create so many "coincidences" to send Ilieks to him, it was clear that with that God King Tang's astonishing wisdom, he was absolutely incapable of doing so.
It could only be the Plane Will.
And since the Plane Will was like this… that meant he had been bet on.
Being bet on by the Plane Will, and still alive and well despite being noticed by that God King Tang… either the Plane Will blocked a possible attack for him, or someone in the God Realm acted to prevent God King Tang's move.
So, based on the known information, his answer slowly became complete.
"Have I become a chess piece in their struggle?"
Kong Ming'an murmured, his eyes showing no fear, but rather brightening a few shades.
For now… it seems he's fine?
