Douluo Dalu II: I, Huo Yuhao, join Sun Moon

Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 200: Tang San: Ma Hongjun, You Have to Consider the Overall Situation

According to Yan Shaozhe's idea, after Mu En passes away, Elder Xuan will take charge of the situation. Given Elder Xuan's hatred for evil soul masters, his perception of him will inevitably be affected.

Furthermore, Xiao Yan knows such a secret, and he can even rely on the body of the Soul King to sneak into the Sea God Pavilion. This indicates that the Soul Palace behind Xiao Yan is an extremely powerful force. At least with his strength, he would never be able to destroy the Soul Palace.

'I must make Xiao Yan and the Soul Palace behind him stay silent. At most, I can offer them some money,' Yan Shaozhe's expression grew more serious. If his life experience were exposed, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion would undoubtedly lose trust in him. Shrek Academy places great importance on bloodlines and origins, so descendants of the Seven Monsters or Yu Xiaogang hold high status within the academy.

Moreover, for ten thousand years, almost all the masters of the Sea God Pavilion have had extremely clean backgrounds. Yan Shaozhe's goal was to become the master of the Sea God Pavilion, not the leader of the Holy Spirit Church.

God Realm.

A red light appeared in front of a towering palace, the air heated up, and the sound of a phoenix echoed. In the next moment, the light faded, revealing the figure of Ma Hongjun.

Between his eyebrows was a faint golden-red light, and behind him was a five-ring halo. He looked magnificent—undoubtedly a second-level god.

Ma Hongjun looked at the towering palace and took a deep breath. This was the God Realm Committee. He had come here to use the monitoring screens of the God Realm Committee to observe the situation on the Douluo Continent.

As a second-level god, he was relatively weak. There were some things that God King Tang San could do, but Ma Hongjun could not.

His purpose in observing the Douluo Continent was simple: to see how his descendants were doing. After all, they were his and Bai Chenxiang's descendants.

At that time, Ma Hongjun had wanted to bring Bai Chenxiang into the God Realm, but Tang San refused, saying that "a second-level god is not qualified to bring others." Bai Chenxiang then died of old age on the Douluo Continent. This matter had always been a pain in Ma Hongjun's heart.

If possible, he truly wanted to give up his position as Phoenix God and live with Bai Chenxiang on the Douluo Continent until the end of their days.

Soon, he walked to the palace door and entered. As long as the God Realm Committee was not in a meeting, any god could enter the palace and access the light screens monitoring the lower worlds to check their situation.

Of course, this required consuming faith power.

As the Phoenix God, Ma Hongjun had believers who worshiped him, so he could naturally share some faith power. But his demand for faith was not very high. In his view, no matter how strong he became, he wouldn't reach the level of a first-level god capable of bringing Bai Chenxiang back.

Besides, the Phoenix God did not become a god solely through faith power.

He didn't know much about the Phoenix God, only that it was originally the God position of a soul beast.

Ma Hongjun began to activate the light screen monitoring Douluo Star. As the faith power in his body dissipated, Ma Xiaotao's figure appeared on the screen.

One day in the God Realm equaled one year in the lower worlds. Ma Hongjun had been in the God Realm for over 10,000 days. He still felt somewhat awkward. Additionally, since he had lost Bai Chenxiang, he truly understood what it meant to "live a year in a day."

'Among my living descendants, Ma Xiaotao has the most potential,' Ma Hongjun thought to himself.

She inherited my Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul, but her evil fire is not pure enough. Otherwise, she might have inherited my position as a god,' he reflected in secret.

Suddenly, he saw Ma Xiaotao reading a book titled The Love Story of the Shrek Seven Devils. Ma Hongjun was stunned, then instinctively used the light curtain to quickly scan the contents of the book.

Admittedly, some of the content in the book was not entirely accurate. It romanticized the Shrek Seven Devils and even disparaged the Spirit Hall. It was a completely "unbiased and objective" book, though not in a good way.

Ma Hongjun, the first-generation member of the Shrek Seven Devils, initially felt a bit awkward about it.

However, that awkwardness was soon dispelled as he saw the beautiful love stories of the Seven Devils in the book.

His breathing paused for a moment, and he felt somewhat unwilling. After all, everyone else in the God Realm was paired, and he was the only one alone.

Looking at the happy lives of his brothers and sisters, and then at his lonely existence, his inner imbalance grew even stronger. He had to admit he was a little jealous of others' happiness.

Outside the palace, an unappealing woman was smiling.

She was the Goddess of Jealousy. Just now, she saw Ma Hongjun walking into the palace alone, so she took the opportunity to stir his jealousy.

Ma Hongjun carried the label of Tang San, and Tang San had a strained relationship with the God of Destruction.

According to the God of Destruction's plan, it would be best to arrange an undercover among the Seven Devils to alienate them.

This would reduce Tang San's subordinates and pave the way for the expansion of the God Realm.

After deliberation, the seven gods of original sin believed Ma Hongjun was the most suitable target, so the Goddess of Jealousy attacked him.

'I was originally going to his residence, but I didn't expect him to come here. But it's all the same,' she thought secretly.

In the palace:

"I want to ask Brother San for help to retrieve Xiangxiang's soul from the Underworld," Ma Hongjun said as he flew out of the palace.

Soon, he found Tang San's residence in the God Realm.

He entered directly, found Tang San, and explained his request: "Brother San, I want to bring Xiangxiang's soul out of the Underworld."

He had never mentioned this before, because he didn't want to cause trouble for his good brother.

Retrieving Bai Chenxiang's soul was definitely against the rules of the God Realm.

But he couldn't help himself.

Tang San sat on a chair, looked at Ma Hongjun, and said earnestly: "Hongjun, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's mainly because this kind of thing violates the rules of the God Realm.

If you were a first-level god, I would go myself to retrieve Bai Chenxiang's soul, and I could even find a way to make her a priest. But you are a second-level god, and second-level gods aren't qualified to bring people into the God Realm.

Everything must be handled impartially. As a law enforcement god, I must set an example and uphold justice.

If every god acted like you, wouldn't the God Realm fall into chaos? If I help you today, I'd be doing you harm. Hongjun, you need to consider the overall situation of the God Realm and not try to take the back door!"

Ma Hongjun clenched his fists unwillingly, suppressing his jealousy of Tang San's happy life, and said: "I understand, Brother San. It's my fault."

"Good," Tang San nodded with satisfaction. For the other five monsters, he was quite pleased. They did not oppose him or target him like the ambitious God of Destruction.

Although he could help Ma Hongjun privately, he could not meet all his needs.
