Chapter 256: The Quickening of the seed of life, Destruction’s Resolve
The God of Destruction took a step forward.
He cautiously took her cool hand.
His fingertips gently stroked the back of her hand with an incredibly tender movement.
His voice was reserved solely for her, shedding all coldness and majesty for a soft tone:
"Little Green, what happened? I can sense your Origin trembling violently."
"Did someone hurt you? Tell me, and I will crush them."
His tone carried an undisguised, monstrous killing intent.
In this God Realm, the existences that could harm the Goddess of Life were few and far between.
But no matter who it was, as long as they dared to harm his Little Green...
Even if he had to overturn the entire God Realm, he would make them pay a price in blood.
The Goddess of Life’s clear, emerald-green eyes were filled with an unshakeable shock.
There was also that increasingly clear, almost maternal quickening.
She gripped the God of Destruction’s hand back, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Tears slid uncontrollably down her cheeks.
As they hit the grass beneath her feet, each drop bloomed into a blossoming Flower of Life.
Her voice carried a hint of indescribable excitement and bewilderment:
"Little Purple, I felt it... in the Lower Realm, a seed of life is quickening."
As soon as those words fell.
The God of Destruction’s blood-red eyes suddenly constricted.
"!!"
The killing intent around him instantly lost control, erupting like a tsunami!
Even the sturdy space of the God Realm was torn into fine black cracks by this terrifying killing intent.
The Goddess of Life was the manifestation of the Universe’s Law of Life.
Her true form was this ancient tree of life.
Only after her fall would her Origin condense into a seed of life to grow anew.
Besides her, it was impossible for a second seed of life from the same source to appear in this world!
His first reaction was that someone was plotting against Little Green.
Someone was stealing her Life Origin, wanting to condense a second seed of life to take her place!
"Who is it?!"
The God of Destruction’s voice was bone-chillingly cold, carrying a world-destroying fury.
"Who dares to steal your Life Origin?!"
"I’ll go down to the Lower Realm right now, drag them out, and grind their bones to ash, destroying their body and soul!"
The aura of destruction around him grew increasingly violent.
The space behind him had already begun to collapse in large areas.
Nine purple-black God King halos slowly rose behind him.
They emitted a supreme pressure that left the entire God Realm suffocating.
Seeing this, the Goddess of Life quickly pressed her hand over his.
She stood on her tiptoes and pressed her forehead against his.
She slowly channeled her warm Life Origin into his body.
Bit by bit, she smoothed over his surging power of destruction.
The collapsing space around them also slowly repaired itself under the nourishment of the life aura.
The grass and flowers annihilated by the aura of destruction took root and sprouted again, blooming with new flowers.
She looked at the God of Destruction, her eyes full of deep reassurance.
Her voice carried a trembling softness:
"Little Purple, don’t get excited, it’s not what you think."
"It hasn’t stolen my Origin."
"Its Origin shares the same root as mine, yet it does not belong to me."
Her voice grew softer, carrying an indescribable tenderness.
"It is very weak and fragile, like a fetus slowly waking up."
"I can feel its heartbeat, its breath, its joy, its anxiety."
"It’s like... like my own child."
"A child..."
This word directly struck the deepest pain in their billions of years of companionship.
The light in the God of Destruction’s eyes flickered.
They were the two great OriginLaws that split off when the Creator God fell, mutually reinforcing and counteracting each other.
They were recognized as the most compatible couple in the God Realm, having accompanied and loved each other for billions of years.
Yet, restricted by their Godhead Origins, they could never have offspring of their own.
The Law of Destruction and the Law of Life were the most extreme and core OriginLaws in the Universe.
Two extremely opposite Laws simply could not merge to give birth to offspring.
Once they tried to conceive a child...
The child would either be completely annihilated by the violent power of destruction or directly burst by the vast power of life.
There was absolutely no possibility of survival.
In billions of years, it wasn’t that they hadn’t tried.
There was once a time when the Goddess of Life really had been pregnant with their child.
But in less than a thousand years, the child’s divine soul was completely torn apart by the conflict between the two extreme Laws.
That time, the Goddess of Life cried for a very long time under the ancient tree of life.
The God of Destruction also locked himself in the Castle of Destruction, entering seclusion for a full 100,000 years.
From then on, he never dared to mention the matter of conceiving a child again.
He buried this bone-deep guilt deep within his heart.
He didn’t even dare to bring it up, fearing it would hurt his wife and himself.
This was a regret hidden in their hearts that neither was willing to touch lightly.
Over billions of years, they watched other Divinities in the God Realm, even if they were only Second-Class Gods, have their own offspring and enjoy family happiness.
But they could never have it.
The Goddess of Life had watched other Divinities playing with their children more than once.
Her eyes held an unhideable envy.
In an instant, the killing intent in the God of Destruction’s eyes completely dissipated.
Seeing his wife’s reddened eyes...
The God of Destruction made a decision in his heart.
He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tear sliding from the corner of his wife’s eye with his thumb.
The movement was so gentle, as if he feared breaking the most precious treasure in the world.
He opened his arms and gently pulled his wife into his embrace.
He gently patted her back, as if soothing a wronged child.
His chin rested on the top of her head, smelling the faint scent of vegetation in her hair.
His voice was more gentle and firm than ever before:
"Little Green, don’t worry."
"No matter what this seed of life is, no matter where it comes from."
"As long as it’s something you want, I will help you protect it."
"I’m going to the Divine Realm Center right now."
"I want to see exactly what the Origin of this seed of life is."
The Goddess of Life leaned in his arms, and most of the unease surging in her heart dissipated.
A lingering worry remained in her beautiful eyes:
"But the God Realm has an iron Law: Gods must not interfere with Lower Realm affairs at will."
"If we investigate rashly, I’m afraid we’ll be criticized by other Gods of Law Enforcement, and it might even trigger the Law punishments left by the Creator God."
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the God of Destruction’s cold sneer.
The God King pressure belonging to one of the five great Gods of Law Enforcement instantly overwhelmed the surroundings.
Even the entire Forest of Life trembled slightly as a result.
His blood-red eyes were full of wildness and disdain, carrying the dominance and majesty of one who rules over life and death.
"Rules?"
"When the Rakshasa God secretly passed down her God Position on the Douluo Star, and the Sea God interfered in Douluo Star affairs, why did no one mention rules?"
"Even the Asura God dared to secretly tamper with his own Legacy."
"Do they really think I, a God of Law Enforcement, am blind?"
His palm gently brushed over his wife’s hair.
The God of Destruction’s tone softened, yet it carried an unshakeable resolve.
"Before, I couldn’t be bothered to argue with them, so I just turned a blind eye."
"But this time is different."
"For you, Little Green, let alone breaking one rule, I wouldn’t hesitate even if I had to become the enemy of the entire God Realm."
"Whoever dares to stop me, I shall destroy them!"
