Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 266 God of Destruction
This is an ancient palace. The decoration and layout outside the palace are simple and free and easy, which all demonstrate the magnanimous and heroic character of its owner.

Wu Xuan had transformed back into his human form, but now he was a spirit, or perhaps a soul. Subconsciously, he walked towards the palace. A metallic path appeared beneath his feet, extending inward. Various plants grew on both sides of the path.

With Wu Xuan's keen eyesight, he quickly identified many natural treasures, but even more were plants he didn't even recognize. Each one contained a huge amount of spiritual energy.

Wu Xuan walked for about ten minutes and arrived at the palace gate. The palace gate was not closed. Looking inside, Wu Xuan vaguely saw a sturdy and strong man wearing silver-gray iron armor.

"Haha, little guy, you don't seem surprised at all?" The hearty laughter of the armored man came from the main seat in the palace.

Wu Xuan remained silent upon hearing this, his expression remaining calm. But within him, a surge of emotion surged like a raging sea. His soul had truly reached the divine realm. Was this being the deity who had chosen him? What had it been about him that had caught his eye?
"Haha, what's wrong? Are you still resentful after summoning you here?" Seeing that Wu Xuan still didn't speak, the armored man flashed and appeared in front of Wu Xuan.

Wu Xuan was startled for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Senior, what are you talking about? I was just a little shocked just now. May I ask where we are?"

"Haha, I told you! How could you not be excited at your age? Turns out that was just your disguise!" The armored man laughed and patted Wu Xuan on the shoulder.

Wu Xuan's face darkened when he heard this.

The armored man didn't care. He put his arm around Wu Xuan's shoulders and turned him around. Then, with a wave of his hand, a dazzling glow spread across the sky. Countless pavilions, towers, and magnificent buildings appeared before Wu Xuan. "Ahem, this is the God Realm. I'm the God of Destruction! One of the top gods."

"God of Destruction?" Wu Xuan was stunned for a moment. Why was it the God of Destruction who summoned him? Logically, shouldn't it be an elemental god like the God of Wind? After all, he was the continent's number one Ultimate Wind.

The armored man laughed heartily and said, "Surprised, huh? Actually, because of your own insights, you've already touched the threshold of the divine realm. However, to go from human to god, you still need to go through many, many more trials."

"Then, senior, are you my future guide?" Wu Xuan asked hurriedly.

"No, to be precise, you should call me Examiner?" The God of Destruction slowly took off his helmet and said gently.

The God of Destruction is about thirty years old, with a mature and steady appearance, short silver hair and full body armor, full of free and unrestrained spirit.

"Examiner? Senior, please enlighten me!" Wu Xuan inquired. He wasn't completely clueless about the divine realm, but he definitely knew very little. The God of Destruction before him clearly meant no harm, but he desperately needed to know more.

The God of Destruction smiled faintly and said, "Actually, the so-called God Realm consists of humans who have elevated their power to a level as pure as the elements of heaven and earth. As our strength increases and our understanding of the great principles of heaven and earth deepens, we are able to enter this place. The God Realm itself can actually be thought of as a continent condensed from pure energy. It's a continent suspended beyond many worlds."

"No matter what method the humans in these worlds use to cultivate, as long as their strength can be recognized by the God Realm and they possess a godly position, they can come to the God Realm. And you are the successor I have chosen." "Me? Successor? Senior, shouldn't I inherit the talent and strength of elemental gods such as the Wind God?" Wu Xuan asked.

"Ahem! What are you talking about! Isn't the end of the wind element a natural disaster that destroys the world? Add to that your spear that destroys souls and extinguishes lives, and none of this has anything to do with destruction. How is my position as a god not suitable for you?" The God of Destruction felt a little guilty, but when he thought of his retirement life after leaving the realm of gods, he instantly stood up again.

He couldn't let this successor slip away and had to trick him. With such talent and strength, he would definitely be able to fulfill his master's grand ideal of expanding the divine realm.

Why didn't he help? Please, he'd toiled in the divine realm for nearly ten thousand years, helping his master expand the divine realm, recruit talents, and fight wars everywhere. With all this hard work and great achievements, couldn't he just take a break?
"Uh!" Wu Xuan was stunned when he heard the other party's words sounding anxious.

The God of Destruction leaned back and coughed lightly, "Ahem, the divine realm is actually limited in size, and the number of humans it can accommodate is also limited. Therefore, if you want to enter the divine realm, you must always find a place of your own. And this place is related to your understanding of the great Dao of heaven and earth. The change of divine positions also foreshadows changes in the divine realm."

"Generally speaking, there are several situations in which the throne of a deity is passed on. For example, if a deity dies while pursuing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, then their throne will need a successor. Alternatively, if a deity voluntarily gives up their throne and travels to a more distant world to pursue more Great Daos of Heaven and Earth, their throne will also be given up. This kind of abdication requires a successor."

"The entire divine realm is peaceful and stable now, and I am the only one who falls into the latter category."

"Thank you for your interest, Senior. I am willing to be your successor and will definitely live up to your trust," Wu Xuan said with a bow. He was not the kind of person who would stick to his own opinions, and with a God protecting him, Tang San certainly wouldn't dare to plot against him openly.

"Haha! It's too early to talk about this now. You only have the qualifications to inherit my throne. Whether you can truly inherit my throne depends on your subsequent performance." The God of Destruction looked at Wu Xuan gently.

"Junior, please understand that I am willing to accept any test, and I have confidence in myself." Wu Xuan said with his head held high.

"Good, good, good! You are worthy of being the successor I have chosen." The God of Destruction laughed and patted Wu Xuan's shoulder. Then a cluster of silver light suddenly lit up around the God of Destruction. Wu Xuan's soul body was also illuminated by the silver light. Then, his whole body turned silver.

The smile on the God of Destruction's face disappeared, replaced by a serious look.

"Wu Xuan, from this moment on, you are officially my heir. As a member of the divine realm, I cannot knowingly break the law and interfere with everything in the lower realm. However, with my divine seed, your growth will surely be smoother. My divine position represents the power of destruction second only to the power of destruction. As your understanding of the power of destruction deepens, it will become easier for you to inherit my divine position and control the power of destruction in the future."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and slowly touched Wu Xuan's forehead.
