The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

160. A Meeting in the God Demon Tower

Translator: Jackson

Amid a volatile situation, many clans just acted as onlookers. Everyone knew that something great would happen to change the current situation in the God and Demon Kingdom.

A Great Heaven God of Air of Skyline City was involved in the matter of an ore vein. Up till now, no one knew how powerful he was. Everyone was waiting for the final decision made by nine Great Heaven Gods in Middle Domain.

According to the rule, nobody could possess an ownerless vein of ore. This rule had existed for two thousand years and no one broke it till now. It represented the authority of the God Demon Tower. If someone broke it, including a Great Heaven God, the God Demon Tower must punish him and give a satisfactory answer to everyone. So this time, the authority of the Tower faced a serious challenge.

A month later, nine Great Heaven Gods finally decided to hold the tenth secret meeting on the second floor of the God Demon Tower.

The God Demon Tower was built at the right moment. It drew up the rules of the God and Demon Kingdom to manage all the forces here. Supported by a protector, it was highly prestigious. The nine Great Heaven Gods were the representatives of the Tower. They had been certified by it and were well-known to everyone in the God and Demon Kingdom.

The certification was like recognition and blessing.

A Great Heaven God recognized by the God Demon Tower would be prestigious and respected by all the people. This was a great honor and everyone wanted it. During the blessing, he could absorb the energy left by the protector. He could also enter the void to sense the rules. Perhaps, he could even seize the opportunity to step into the next realm. By then, he would control the rules sooner or later.

Therefore, all the masters were eager to join in the God Demon Tower.

There were two ways to gain the blessing from the Tower. One was to become a Great Heaven God. Except for the evil clan, each Great Heaven God could have a chance to enter the void of the God Demon Tower. The second was to get the first place in the competition that was held once 100 years.

The first method was very difficult because it was difficult to become a Great Heaven God. Otherwise, there would be more Great Heaven Gods.

The second method was difficult, too. There were a great number of participants in each competition, but only one could enter the void. Although it was more likely to succeed than the first method, the chance was still slim.

So everyone respected and stood in awe of the God Demon Tower. They thought all of their decisions were fair and justifiable. Therefore, a record number of people were expecting a decision about that matter from the God Demon Tower.

On a sunny day, the sky was clear.

The door of the God Demon Tower was opened for the tenth time, which meant that it was the tenth time to hold an important meeting after the founding of the God Demon Tower. The former meetings were all held because of something threatening the whole Kingdom. The tenth meeting was held because of a disaster caused by a vein of ore. It showed that the authority of the God Demon Tower was challenged, so nine Great Heaven Gods listed it as a high-level event.

“Ha-ha, I never imagined that we would be together just after a thousand years.”

A loud voice, with the aura of a Great Heaven God, rang out in the distance and almost punctured the eardrums. Then the door was opened and a red-faced adult with a red beard strode in from the outside. He was tall and strong, like a hill, giving people inexplicable pressure, but everyone present was not ordinary people, standing calm and indifferent.

“Hongbao, you’re late again,” an old man smiled at him.

Hongbao waved his hand as if he didn’t take it seriously, “I’m not the last one anyway. That guy probably won’t come this time. Where has he been in the past tens of thousands of years? He has never attended the meetings. If this continues, he will no longer be qualified to attend!”

The old man was called Great Heaven God Cihuai. He was one of the Great Heaven Gods who didn’t have a clan, preferred a solitary life and never fought with others for interests. The other one was the person that Hongbao had mentioned. He was like Great Heaven God Cihuai. Ever since he became one of the nine Great Heaven Gods, people only knew that he was always alone and never fought for power and interests with them. He then disappeared and others didn’t care about him.

“Red Beard, unfortunately, I’ll disappoint you.”

Just as Great Heaven God Cihuai was about to explain, a mocking voice suddenly sounded.

What he hated most was calling him Red Beard. There was only one in the God and Demon Kingdom that dared to do it. Every time they met, he would call him Red Beard and anger him.

“Why are you here?” Hongbao stared at the figure sitting in the corner, dressed in red, who was looking at him with mockery.

“Red Beard, to my great surprise, you miss me so much. I haven’t seen you for tens of thousands of years. I’m sure you’ve already fallen into lovesickness, but it’s a pity that…” The person in the corner sighed and soon continued, “It’s a pity that I don’t like the person like you, so I can only apologize to you. I can’t accept your kindness.”

Hongbao immediately turned angry. It had been tens of thousands of years since they last saw each other, but he was still so mean and liked to misinterpret others’ meaning. It had happened to him a few times.

“Ha-ha! Yin Mie, you’re as mean as before,” said Great Heaven God Lumie, Zong Wuqing’s grandfather. He was both bad-tempered and generous. When he saw his friend take a beating, he was the first one to laugh out.

Great Heaven God of Air smiled at the side, like a shrewd fox.

“I’m flattered. Actually, it has been thousands of years since I uttered,” Yin Mie smiled.

What he meant was that it was Hongbao that provoked him, so he took the opportunity to show his ‘eloquence’. Then Hongbao became even angrier. Just as he was about to fly into a rage, the person sitting in the first position on the left suddenly said.

“If you want to chat, wait after the meeting. This is not a place for you to chat.” He scolded them. He took a cold glance at them and then looked away arrogantly as if he did not respect them.

But it was reasonable. Nine Great Heaven Gods were divided into two factions. The person who just said was Great Heaven God Yinfeng, full name Nie Yinfeng. Hongbao belonged to the other faction whose leader was Great Heaven God of Air. The two factions were not on good terms. Yin Mie did not participate in the previous meetings, so the votes were always equal. They would argue with each other at each meeting. As time went by, their conflicts intensified. They wouldn’t show kindness whenever they met.

Hongbao and Lumie didn’t like him. Hearing his words, they turned serious and ignored him. However, interrupted by him, Hongbao immediately came back to his senses. He found a seat next to Lumie, sat down, and began to chat with him. He looked even more arrogant.

Yinfeng snorted and turned even colder.

Yin Mie was not interested in their grudges. He came here mainly to watch a show. Imagining what would happen, he was delighted.

Great Heaven God of Air thoughtfully looked at Yinfeng. This time, because of Yin Mie’s participation, the balance was bound to be broken, which was unfavorable for Yinfeng. Logically, he should not be so calm. Great Heaven God of Air had a bad feeling that the following meeting would not be as peaceful as he wished.

The Transmission Ritual leading to the third floor suddenly gave out a bright light and a figure dressed in light green appeared there.

Nine Great Heaven Gods stood up at the same time in an attitude of respect. “Hello, Sir!”

“Sit down, please. I believe you have known why I ask you here. Any opinions can be expressed here.” The elder of the God Demon Tower was the host of the meeting. He had great power in the God Demon Tower, so they didn’t dare to be disrespectful. Moreover, every time their votes were the same, he would have the final say at the meeting.

They sat down when they saw him sitting down.

“We don’t know how powerful the Great Heaven God of the Skyline City is, so we should take the long view, instead of making a hasty decision. Otherwise, a great disaster will perhaps happen to the God and Demon Kingdom,” Great Heaven God of Air spoke first, seeing no one express his opinion. He still had a meaningful smile on his face, but it seemed different from before.

“What a joke! How can we drag on just because of fearing his counterattack? Air, don’t you want to protect the prestige of the God Demon Tower?” Yinfeng sneered.
