Chapter 308: Tang San Becomes a God, Acting Ahead of Time!
100% Affinity?!
Noticing his Asura God affinity suddenly increasing to 100%, Tang San was instantly overjoyed!
Could it be due to his recent thoughts?
Although he didn't know the exact reason, achieving 100% affinity should mean he could inherit the Asura God position, right?
"Senior, my Asura God affinity has reached 100%. Can I inherit the god position now?" Tang San asked the Asura Spirit's phantom without any delay.
The Asura Spirit's phantom, also noticing Tang San's affinity change, frowned slightly.
He had sensed a familiar power appearing just now.
Having a suspicion in his heart, he glanced at Tang San, then at the sky, but decided not to voice his guess.
"Very well..."
Muttering to himself, the Asura Spirit's phantom looked at Tang San and said calmly, "Since your Asura God affinity has reached 100%, you can naturally inherit the god position."
"However, I remember you wish to inherit dual god positions?"
Tang San nodded, "Yes, Senior. Only by inheriting dual god positions can I hope to defeat the Spirit Empire, repel their invasion, and restore peace to Douluo Continent."
"The affairs of Douluo Continent are none of my concern. You don't need to explain this to me."
The Asura Spirit's phantom said indifferently, "I just want to remind you that if you intend to inherit two god positions, there's something you need to consider."
"What is it?" Tang San asked, puzzled.
"Do you think inheriting god positions is simple?"
The Asura Spirit's phantom turned around with his hands behind his back, "You now possess two divine artifacts: the Sea God's Trident and the Asura God's Sword."
"But you can't fully utilize their power yet."
"Only by fully inheriting the god positions can you unleash 100%, even 200%, of their power!"
"However, even with extraordinary martial souls and exceptional strength, you can only inherit one god position."
Hearing this, Tang San frowned, "Then, Senior, how can I successfully inherit two god positions?"
"There is a way."
"The Asura God's Sword can gather divine power, allowing one person to become its scabbard, sharing the burden."
The Asura Spirit's phantom continued, "This method can alleviate the pressure of becoming a god."
"Furthermore, it allows that person to ascend to the God Realm as well."
"As for how to implement this method, I can only say it involves the principles of Yin and Yang. I believe you understand what I mean."
Tang San immediately understood the implication of the Asura Spirit's phantom.
"However, this method only reduces your burden."
"It increases your chances of inheriting dual god positions by at most 20%."
"Success ultimately depends on your willpower."
"Now that you've completed the trials, I give you one day to consider. After one day, you must return with someone who can become the Asura Sword's scabbard, or you will have to become a god alone."
Tang San immediately bowed and said, "I humbly request that Senior send me back."
With a wave of the Asura Spirit's hand, Tang San disappeared from the spot.
After he vanished, the Asura Spirit's phantom gazed at the sky in silence.
...
In the God Realm.
"Asura, you intervened again. That boy wasn't initially qualified to inherit your god position. His affinity was only 99%. How can a boy so emotionally entangled inherit your Asura God position?" The Sea God looked at the Asura God with displeasure.
The Sea God's personal desire was for Tang San to fully inherit his Sea God position.
"If you were unhappy, you could have stopped me."
"As long as you're not afraid to fight me."
The Asura God glanced at the Sea God beside him, "When the Rakshasa God interfered with Tang Chen, I had to endure endless boredom in the God Realm. Now another of his descendants, Tang San, appears. I don't want to miss this chance."
"Besides, it was just a small favor."
"No harm done."
The Sea God said, "If you help him this way, what will you do if he cannot fully wield the Asura God's power in his battle against Su Yun?"
"Are you planning to break the laws of the God Realm and go down to save him?"
The Asura God snorted, "What do you take me for?"
"Previous failures can be seen as setbacks on Tang San's path."
"But if he inherits my god position, he must do what a god should."
"If he loses to Su Yun, it's simply because he's not good enough."
"If he can't defeat someone newly stepping into godhood, how will he fare against the Destroyer in the God Realm?"
The Sea God sighed, gazing at the lower realm, "I hope he can defeat Su Yun."
...
Back at the Clear Sky Sect.
Upon Tang San's return, the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect grew nervous again.
They mistakenly thought Tang San was going to judge Tang Xiao once more and nearly knelt down again.
Tang San quickly used his divine power to lift them up and explained the reason for his return.
Learning that Tang San was to choose someone to ascend to godhood with him, the entire sect was abuzz with excitement.
This news quickly spread across the three upper sects and the royal palace.
Upon hearing this news, Ning Rongrong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Yu Qingrou from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Princess Xue Ke from the Heaven Dou Empire were all urged by their families to seize this opportunity.
Additionally, many noble soul master families and even distant relatives eagerly volunteered themselves.
For instance, the Nine Heart Begonia Clan also put forward their candidate.
After all, becoming a god, and without even needing to reach level 100, was an opportunity that was nearly impossible to find.
In the end, Tang San chose Yu Qingrou from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
This decision left many people feeling regretful.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou royal family were particularly disappointed.
"It's my fault for being short-sighted back then. Otherwise, this chance to become a god would have been ours!" Ning Fengzhi slammed his fist on the tea table, his face full of regret.
Ever since Tang San had 'politely declined' Ning Rongrong and chosen Yu Qingrou, Ning Fengzhi had not been able to relax.
He felt his past decision to void the marriage agreement had made him look like a complete fool.
"Fengzhi, it's not your fault. Who could have expected Tang San to bring someone else to godhood in this manner?" Bone Douluo consoled him.
"Indeed, who would have thought that a god would create such a loophole for their favored candidate?" Sword Douluo found it hard to believe.
In his mind, gods were supposed to be lofty beings, and he hadn't expected one to open a backdoor for Tang San.
"Tang San told us that only a powerful god like the Asura God could do this," Ning Fengzhi sighed.
"If only the Sea God could do this too..."
Ning Fengzhi still harbored a faint hope.
"Fengzhi, even so, Tang San mentioned that the success rate is not high."
"In the end, Tang San might only be able to inherit one god position."
"Even the gods told him that no one has ever successfully inherited two god positions before."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi sighed deeply and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he said quietly, "I can only hope that after he defeats Su Yun, he will treat Rongrong kindly."
"It all depends on him now."
"If he wins, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will thrive; if he loses, our sect will fall!"
In the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the two Title Douluo exchanged a glance and fell silent.
...
In the Spirit Empire.
Qian Daoliu was meditating outside the closed-door training area where his granddaughter Qian Renxue was cultivating.
He had a premonition that his granddaughter was about to break through!
"Su Yun and that woman Bibi Dong are both in seclusion now. Who knows how much longer they will need. Time waits for no one." Qian Daoliu calculated that only three days remained.
He had received intelligence that the Sea God Island and the Heaven Dou Empire were making significant moves.
Qian Daoliu suspected that Tang San had successfully inherited the god position!
As Qian Daoliu worried, a tremendous energy fluctuation suddenly shook him to his core!
He sprang up and rushed outside the hall!
He looked far into the distance and saw a faint energy pillar rising.
Despite the distance, the terrifying energy contained within made his heart tremble!
"That is... the power of a god!"
This extreme and terrifying energy instantly caused all the Title Douluo on the continent to feel their hair stand on end. They all rushed outside to see the location of the light pillar!
"Grand Worshipper, that place is..." A Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall arrived beside Qian Daoliu, feeling a deep sense of unease.
After all, that was truly the power of a god.
"Yes."
Qian Daoliu gazed at the distant light pillar and said slowly, "That is Tang San!"
The power of the Sea God, a force Qian Daoliu was all too familiar with as the guardian of the Angel God!
"Tang San succeeded first?!"
The dozens of Title Douluo present were utterly shocked.
They had thought that even with the Sea God's protection, it would be impossible for Tang San to inherit the god position so quickly.
But Tang San had done it!
The speed of his success left them in awe.
"Wait! This power... there's a hint of killing intent?"
Qian Daoliu's face suddenly changed, filled with shock as he stared at the light pillar.
The originally sea-blue light pillar instantly turned blood-red, staining the entire sky with a hue of blood!
"The power of the Asura God?!"
"Tang San has actually inherited two god positions simultaneously?!"
Qian Daoliu's words sent a new wave of shock through everyone!
Inheriting two god positions at the same time.
This Tang San...
Could he really turn the tide?
"Grand Worshipper, what should we do now..."
"Do not panic. We still have three days until the final day. Since the Sea God has personally spoken, Tang San wouldn't dare defy him."
"Stay vigilant. If, after three days, they have not emerged, I will step forward!"
"Grand Worshipper?!"
"Enough talk! Return to your positions immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
...
Heaven Dou Empire.
"Xiao San, you did it?!"
In the royal palace of the Heaven Dou Empire.
As Tang San landed with the radiant Yu Qingrou by his side, he smiled and nodded in response to his uncle's inquiry.
"My compatibility with Qingrou is extremely high. After inheriting the role of the Asura Sword's scabbard, she can fully withstand my power, allowing me to use the Asura God's power completely." As he spoke, he extended his hands, and the Sea God's Trident and the Asura God's Sword appeared in them.
The terrifying aura emanating from them caused even Sword Douluo and Tang Xiao to retreat in fear of being accidentally injured.
"Do not fear. I have wrapped them in divine power; they won't harm you." Tang San chuckled and then entrusted Yu Qingrou to Yu Yuanzhen.
Yu Yuanzhen, full of joy, arranged for people to take good care of Yu Qingrou.
He knew that the good days for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were coming!
Inwardly, Yu Yuanzhen even thanked his 'useless' son for having such a talented disciple like Tang San.
What a stroke of fortune for the family!
"Xiao San, there are still three days until the final battle. What are your plans?" Amidst the joyous atmosphere, Tang Xiao suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Noticing the glint in his uncle's eyes, Tang San immediately understood his intention.
He smiled slightly, "Uncle, your thoughts align with mine."
"I plan to strike against the Spirit Empire immediately."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was taken aback, "Xiao San, the Sea God vouched for you. Isn't it going against his word if you act now..."
Before Ning Fengzhi could finish, Tang San interrupted, "Uncle Ning, you overthink it. The Sea God's words were merely to buy me time."
"Moreover, I have already inherited two god positions."
"And I haven't sensed any divine aura from the Spirit Empire yet."
"As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. War is about seizing opportunities."
"Furthermore, the Spirit Empire is the invader threatening our continent. Why should we adhere to any so-called agreements?"
Tang Xiao and Yu Yuanzhen nodded in agreement, "I believe Xiao San is right."
Emperor Xue Ye chuckled, "Now that Prince Lan Hao has become a god, we will follow his lead."
In Emperor Xue Ye's heart, he naturally hoped that Tang San would eliminate the Spirit Empire as soon as possible.
This way, his Heaven Dou Empire could reign supreme.
Moreover, he had already consolidated power from most of the nobles. Once the war ended, the Heaven Dou royal family would emerge as the biggest winner!
"Wait here for my good news."
With those words, Tang San disappeared before their eyes.
...
At the same time, within the Spirit Empire, Qian Daoliu was preparing to check on Su Yun and the others again.
Suddenly, he felt his hair stand on end once more. He instinctively turned to the sky.
There, a light streak imbued with divine power was rapidly approaching!
"Tang San!"
