"What?"
"Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing have been killed?"
"..."
When they heard Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong both cried out in shock.
Yu Xiaogang in particular, being as astute as he was, understood that if Qian Renxue dared to strike at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, then she would surely target them as well.
So much for any so-called mercy shown in the past.
"Damn it, if only we hadn't let her go back then!"
Yu Xiaogang reacted the same way as Tang San and the others, regretting that they had spared Qian Renxue.
"..."
Tang San fell silent for a moment when he heard Yu Xiaogang's words.
Because what Yu Xiaogang said reminded him of Qian Renxue and Su Mo's retorts—the fact that he let Qian Renxue go was, after all, a promise he had made.
It was pointless to expect her to be grateful.
Otherwise, wouldn't he also have to be grateful to Qian Renxue for once sparing his own life?
"…Teacher, right now in Spirit Hall, not only has Qian Renxue regained her divine power, but she also has another god backing her!"
Tang San didn't linger on whether or not they should regret their past choices; instead, his expression turned grave as he continued.
"What?"
"There's another god behind Qian Renxue?"
"Is it a god from the God Realm, or…?"
Yu Xiaogang's face became even more serious as he asked, doing his best to remain calm and probe Tang San for information about Su Mo.
After all, gods from the God Realm were not the same as gods of the mortal world.
"He's from Douluo Continent. His name is Su Mo, and he's the same age as me."
Tang San replied, taking it for granted that the Su Mo of this world was the same age as the one in his memories.
He just couldn't figure out why Su Mo's experiences in this world were so different.
In this world, Su Mo had quietly become a god without his knowledge—his talent was in no way inferior to what Tang San remembered.
Here, he too had become a god.
In the world of Tang San's memories, however, Su Mo hadn't become a god; instead, Tang San had died tragically at his hands.
Not just him—Xiao Wu had died at Su Mo's hands as well.
So Tang San actually felt a bit of relief that the Su Mo in this world had a different life path. Otherwise, he might already have suffered the same fate as before, never mind any chance at becoming a god.
"Innate Spirit Power of Rank 2, Martial Soul: Soul-Hunting Spear, became a god…"
After learning about Su Mo from Tang San, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were both stunned.
They could hardly imagine that someone with such poor innate talent could, like Tang San, cultivate all the way to godhood.
But shock aside, Yu Xiaogang knew this was not the time to admire the other party.
After all, Tang San had already told him that Su Mo and Qian Renxue were working together, and that Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had died at Su Mo's hands.
And after Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, the next to face these two gods would be people like them.
"In a head-on fight, we're no match for them!"
"Even if Oscar and Ning Rongrong complete their god trials, it won't be enough. They're both support-type soul masters—even if they become gods, their combat strength won't amount to much!"
"We absolutely can't confront them head-on!"
Yu Xiaogang analyzed the situation calmly.
But no matter how he analyzed it, he couldn't think of any way to counter Su Mo and Qian Renxue—not even if Oscar and Ning Rongrong became gods.
"Xiao San, do you have any ideas?"
In the end, Yu Xiaogang could only look to Tang San. If there was any way out, it would have to come from Tang San, who was on the same level as Qian Renxue and Su Mo.
"Teacher, for now, I don't have any good ideas either!"
"It's not as if I can return to the mortal world whenever I wish. I'll figure out a way for Fatty to receive the god trial, and then help Oscar and Ning Rongrong complete their god trials as soon as possible!"
"That way, you'll have the power to stand against Qian Renxue and the others!"
"But before that, Teacher, you must remember—under no circumstances should you confront Qian Renxue and the others head-on…"
Tang San shared his plan with Yu Xiaogang.
He had split off this wisp of divine sense specifically to let Yu Xiaogang and the others know how serious the situation was, so they wouldn't face the newly rebuilt Spirit Hall head-on.
"Alright, I understand!"
Yu Xiaogang naturally wouldn't object. Even without Tang San's warning, after learning the strength of Qian Renxue and Su Mo, he wouldn't rashly go up against Spirit Hall.
Once everything was explained, Tang San's divine sense quietly receded into Yu Xiaogang.
"Xiaogang, will we really be alright?"
Liu Erlong began to worry.
In the past, she had feared nothing, but now, facing enemies like Qian Renxue and Su Mo, she couldn't help feeling anxious.
After all, she and Yu Xiaogang were truly together now, and they had a son.
Their son was currently attending classes at Shrek Academy—less than ten years old and already receiving advanced education there.
She had listened to Bibi Dong's advice back then and forced her way into Yu Xiaogang's life, which finally brought them together.
"Don't worry, Xiao San has made arrangements, hasn't he?"
"We'll be fine…"
Yu Xiaogang held Liu Erlong's hands, gently patting them to reassure her.
…
"Damn it, I should have killed that girl back then!"
At Clear Sky Sect, when Tang Hao heard the news from Tang San's divine sense, he was filled with regret.
"Xiao San, are you and Xiao Wu doing well in the God Realm?"
After hearing Tang San's news, the Blue Silver Empress felt some worry, but she cared even more about Tang San and Xiao Wu's life in the God Realm.
"Don't worry, Mom. Xiao Wu and I are doing well in the God Realm!"
Tang San smiled as soon as he heard his mother's concern.
He felt a wave of warmth in his heart. After learning about Qian Renxue and Su Mo, he'd been anxious and unsettled.
But because of his mother's love, Tang San became even more determined not to let anything happen to her.
And of course, to his father and teacher as well.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were beyond saving now, but he was determined not to let anyone else fall victim to Qian Renxue and Su Mo.
…
"What?"
"That woman Qian Renxue actually recovered her divine power?"
"And Boss Dai and Zhu Zhuqing were killed too?"
"Damn it, we really shouldn't have let that woman go back then…"
When Ma Hongjun received the news from Tang San's divine sense, he too was shocked and furious.
Just like Tang San and the others, he regretted not killing Qian Renxue when they had the chance.
"Fatty, now is not the time for grief!"
"I'll help you find a god inheritance. You must complete the god trial as quickly as possible!"
"Only if you become a god too, together with Oscar and Ning Rongrong, will you be able to stand against Spirit Hall as it is now!"
