Although oaths can be taken in the divine realm, very few deities, except for those impulsive and headstrong divine rulers, will swear oaths to the Heavenly Dao. No one wants to live under the Heavenly Dao's watchful eye; any breach of oath will cause immense trouble on their future path of cultivation.
Words are inherently full of loopholes, and once exploited by those with ulterior motives, the oath-taker has no way to defend themselves. Over time, the divine realm rarely uses this method to verify truth or falsehood.
Ange knew this too, but she wanted to push Garcia. As it turns out, no matter how well someone with a guilty conscience tries to hide it, there will always be flaws.
Upon hearing her words, Garcia suddenly calmed down and bowed to the leader, saying, "I have worked diligently for the Alliance for tens of thousands of years, and my achievements cannot be erased by a new god who has only been in the divine realm for two months. If you doubt me, please investigate. I am upright and have nothing to fear."
After saying that, he gave An Ge a deep look, snorted coldly, and left with a flick of his sleeve. His expression and posture made it seem as if he had suffered a great injustice.
An Ge was speechless. He was the one who started the trouble, but he was still acting like a naive and innocent girl with her. He was acting like he knew everything.
"Grandpa Yin, did Lord Garcia truly feel wronged, or did he choose to leave because he couldn't save face? However, Lord Garcia is right. Although I suspect him, I cannot wrong a good god simply because of my own speculation."
"Everyone, I'm still young, and I may be a little careless in my actions and words. Sometimes I don't understand the intricacies of things, and I'm also straightforward, often saying whatever comes to mind. If I've unintentionally offended anyone, please forgive me for my dedication to the divine realm. Compared to you all, I'm just a minor god in my forties—you know, children speak without thinking!"
After speaking, An Ge sat obediently in her seat, her head bowed as if she had committed some grave mistake. She was a completely different person from her aggressive demeanor just moments before. The God, unaware of the truth, thought she had suffered a great injustice.
"Keep pretending! You're shameless!" The gods all had the same thought.
Yin Cang looked at An Ge speechlessly. He used to worry that An Ge would have a hard time in the Divine Realm because he had made too many enemies, but now he realized that his worry was completely unnecessary.
Even without him, given An Ge's personality, he wouldn't be able to stay calm. He'll probably have to worry about whether his granddaughter has unwittingly created many more enemies for him.
However, Yin Cang didn't hold any grudges against An Ge because of this; in fact, he looked at her with even more satisfaction. She truly was his granddaughter; both her personality and strength resembled his. Before, when other deities teased An Ge about being his bloodline, he thought they were just joking, but now he couldn't help but have some doubts himself.
After arriving in the Divine Realm, he only paid attention to his descendants for the first thousand years, after which he almost completely lost contact with them in the lower realm. Now, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and it's uncertain whether his descendants still exist; their bloodline has long since faded. Should he find some time to search for his descendants, just in case An Ge is truly related to him?
Just then, the leader said, "It seems that Lord Yin Cang has something to say?" This was the first time he had ever seen Yin Cang lose focus during a meeting. Normally, he was never distracted and would explode at anyone he didn't like, like a firecracker.
"Uh, I was just wondering if I should try one more time to bring my granddaughter into the alliance. With her around, I feel like I can just step back and stay in the background," Yin Cang joked.
"Haha, I also look forward to that day. But I have high hopes for Goddess Ange, Goddess Yincang, please don't force her."
Yin Cang nodded. "Of course, she's my granddaughter."
Now it was An Ge's turn to be speechless. She was actually a very well-behaved god, okay? But Garcia had practically groveled in her face; if she didn't speak up, she might end up taking the blame. Although, in truth, it wasn't really a case of taking the blame.
The leader's words eased the previously tense atmosphere in the meeting room. As for the investigation into Lord Garcia, it naturally came to nothing further.
Ange didn't quite understand the leader's conciliatory attitude, but seeing that everyone seemed unwilling to mention Garcia again, she kept quiet.
After the meeting ended, An Ge quietly asked Yin Cang, "Garcia clearly has a problem, so why doesn't the leader mention it?"
Yin Cang sighed, "It's not that he doesn't want to mention it, but that he can't. Our leader is good at everything else, except he lacks combat power. Everyone will respect him and protect him, but they won't necessarily listen to him. Back then, most of the Divine Lords opposed taking action against Rhodes, so he could only go along with it. Only when the evidence against Rhodes was conclusive did he order his arrest."
He has little combat power yet sits in that position, often with unavoidable difficulties. I've long since gotten used to it, though I have my complaints. But apart from him, no one else is truly satisfied with being the leader, or rather, no one wants to be. Fortunately, although the leader tries to smooth things over, he's still on our side.
An Ge finally understood what was strange about the leader; it turned out he was just a mascot. Although as a spirit of the divine realm, he certainly had the ability to threaten the gods, such an ability would come at a great cost. Unless something major happened, it was best to maintain peace.
It's unclear whether the lifestyle and attitudes of the gods and immortals of the divine realm influenced the personality of the spirits of the divine realm, or whether the leader's personality gradually permeated every deity in the divine realm. In any case, the leader's personality is very much in line with the current state of the divine realm.
They lack a sense of crisis and will live a peaceful life as long as they can, unless they are bullied to the point of being bullied.
"Sigh, what's the use of just having heartfelt support? It turns out that in the Divine Realm, strength is still the most important thing. If the leader has the fighting power, anyone who disobeys will be caught and beaten up."
The Dragon God wholeheartedly agreed with this, saying, "The girl is right. I can't stand the constant bickering in the alliance. Why can't we settle things with our fists? The leader, too, although he doesn't have much combat power, he's not incapable of doing nothing. If he were more assertive, the alliance wouldn't be such a mess."
Yin Cang's eyes widened. Just as An Ge and the Dragon God thought they were about to be criticized, he said, "These words cannot be said in the Alliance. Be careful that some scheming immortals do not overhear."
An Ge understood; it turned out that Grandpa Yin shared the same thoughts. She knew it; such a radical deity couldn't possibly agree with the leader's actions.
She now finally understood why Grandpa Yin always acted as a fire-breathing dragon at meetings. Besides genuinely disapproving of some of the gods' actions, it was also due to the leader's tacit approval and indulgence. After all, seeing a god unleash their full power and silence the opponents was truly satisfying!
