Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 191: Tang San: My intention was good, but my parents made a mistake when they carried it out
"It seems that you don't have a clear understanding of the strength of the God King. Don't worry, although I will punish you and Tang Hao, according to the rules of the God Realm, I will not kill you," said the God of Destruction.
For the God of Destruction, arresting Tang Hao and Ah Yin was a good thing.
He believed he could use this matter to attack Tang San within the God Realm Committee.
After all, Tang San's use of the God Realm Center to help his parents cover up their crimes was undoubtedly for his selfish interests, disregarding the rules of the God Realm. The most important principle in controlling the God Realm Center was selflessness. Now, Tang San was no longer suitable to continue overseeing it.
Thinking of this, the God of Destruction reached out, grabbed Ah Yin, tore space, and brought her to Tang Hao's side.
Then, he headed straight toward the God Realm. He couldn't wait to convene a meeting of the God Kings and compete for control of the God Realm Center.
Near the Golden Ancient Tree, Mu En's mind was in turmoil.
When the purple-robed man appeared just now, he sensed that something was not right. The aura emanating from the other person made him, an Ultimate Douluo, unable to move.
Mu En took a deep breath. Even Di Tian, the recognized strongest in Douluo Continent, was unable to suppress him with just his aura. The identity of this purple-robed man was undoubtedly that of a god.
"That's a god! Only gods can be so powerful. I don't know who is stronger: this god or Ancestor Tang San."
"But according to what this god just said, did Ancestor Ah Yin devour all the souls of Shrek's ancestors to speed up the integration with the Golden Ancient Tree?"
"If what he says is true, then what about the actions of the successive Sea God Pavilion Masters, who also put their souls into the Golden Ancient Tree?" Thinking of this, Mu En felt a pang of sadness and deep disappointment.
To protect the academy, the Sea God Pavilion Masters had chosen to merge their souls into the Golden Ancient Tree. But no matter how strong the master was, they wouldn't last more than a hundred years before dissipating.
His teacher, the previous leader of the Sea God Pavilion, had disappeared after only two years—breaking the record for the longest-lived soul of a former leader. At that time, Mu En did not understand why.
His teacher was also an Ultimate Douluo and a formidable figure among the past leaders of the Sea God Pavilion.
So, what the god just said was very likely true. It was probably that Ah Yin had accelerated the devouring of his mentor's soul, leading to its rapid dissipation.
Mu En's breathing grew rapid, his eyes reddened, and he clenched his teeth. For the first time in his life, he hated his lack of strength. If he had been stronger, how could Ah Yin have dared to do such a thing?
"Ancestor Tang San—no, Tang San—he must know about this. After all, Tang San moved the Golden Ancient Tree to Shrek Academy, and Ah Yin is Tang San's mother. If Tang San hadn't acquiesced, how could Ah Yin have done this? So, what was my former reverence for Tang San!"
Mu En clenched his fists, murderous intent surging in his heart. He even wanted to kill Tang San and Ah Yin to avenge the ancestors of Shrek.
But then, his fists loosened again.
Revenge was not that simple.
He was just a small Ultimate Douluo; the gap between him and the gods was too vast.
He didn't know much about the gods. For example, he only knew that Tang San was a dual god—possessing the godhood of the Sea God and the Asura God—but he didn't know which was higher, as there were no records of this in Shrek Academy's information.
"For the sake of the academy, I can only endure it—for now," Mu En thought. He had lived so many years, and he wouldn't be blinded by hatred. What mattered most to him was the development of Shrek Academy.

God Realm Committee.
The five great gods gathered, and everyone's face was grim. The God of Destruction had just brought Tang Hao and Ah Yin here, presenting evidence that they had violated the rules of the God Realm.
The God of Destruction looked at Tang San from a distance and said, "Tang San, with your help, one of your parents attempted to become the Lord of the Plane, causing significant damage to its consciousness. The other tried to become its Life Core, damaging the Golden Ancient Tree and devouring others' souls. Such behavior violates the rules of the God Realm."
"If they succeed, wouldn't Douluo Star become a one-man show for your family?" he continued. "Therefore, they must be punished."
"In my opinion," he declared, "their consciousness should be extracted and kept with me. I will imprison them with the breath of destruction and punish them for a thousand days."
Tang San's expression darkened, and he could no longer suppress his anger: "Destruction, you are slandering me! My original intent was good, but my parents made a mistake in executing it. Everything my parents and I did was for the development of Douluo Star."
In his previous life, Tang San had no parents. When he came to Douluo Continent and gained a family, he cherished that relationship deeply.
Even as a child, he had to cook for himself, with no complaints.
"You meant well?" Miehui sneered. "Tang San, some things have already been done. You need to admit your mistakes. Once your parents occupy the two most important positions on Douluo Star, the planet's life will inevitably be interfered with. Remember, gods cannot interfere with the mortal world!"
"You also made a mistake in this matter," he continued. "You used the God Realm Center for personal gain."
He paused before continuing: "Initially, you swore to the two God Kings that you were selfless and would never break the rules using the God Realm Center. So, you must be punished. Let's vote now."
The voting system of the God Realm Committee was as follows: one vote from each law enforcement god and two votes from the God Kings.
Because the title of "God King" of the first-generation God of Kindness and God of evil not only denoted strength but also status, the first-generation gods held great respect.
In the book "God of Wine," the three First Generation Enforcement Gods would respectfully address the First Generation God of Kindness and First Generation God of Evil as: "Greetings, Two God Kings."
Later, after the first-generation gods left, Tang San, the second-generation God of Kindness, and the second-generation God of Evil ascended to the God Realm, and the voting system was revised to one vote per each of the five great god-kings.
To resolve the current crisis, Tang San's best option was to seek support from the other gods.
He looked around at the other gods present, trying to garner their support.
"Seagod," sighed Ji Dong, the second-generation God of Evil, "you and your parents did make a mistake in this matter. I side with destruction."
"I also stand with destruction," said the second-generation God of Kindness.
The goddess of life looked at Tang San with disappointment and added, "Sea God, I think Xiao Zi is right. You and your parents made a mistake. Since you did, you should be punished."
"I have four votes here," the God of Destruction said, glancing at Tang San. "Your punishment is simple: hand over the God Realm Center. You are no longer fit to control it."
"We will need to discuss the control of the God Realm Center again," he concluded.
The punishment for Tang San, of course, could not be to extract his Divine Sense and imprison him.
After all, Tang San was a God King, and if he were truly pushed too far, it was very likely to cause chaos in the God Realm.
