Chapter 193: The Child of Destiny
"Even if we kill Tang San, the Abyss might simply choose someone else."
Shura God's words plunged the other four God Kings into silence. This was not an impossible scenario. The Abyss was too mysterious. Where did it come from? Why did it set its sights on Douluo Continent?
They had no answers.
In such a situation, making rash moves could be worse than doing nothing.
Instead of killing Tang San immediately, they could observe him. If they could discover how he became involved with the Abyss, they would be able to prevent it in time and eliminate him the moment he showed any signs of collusion.
But if they killed him now and the Abyss chose another person, they would lose their advantage of foresight they wouldn't know when or how the next invasion would come.
After a moment of deep thought, the God of Destruction looked at Shura God and said,
"Fine. Tang San can live… for now. But you must remove the world's fate energy from him."
"You think we don't know how you secretly manipulated the Divine Realm's Core to concentrate Douluo Continent's luck and destiny on him?!"
"I suspect that his ability to sacrifice Douluo Continent to the Abyss in the future is directly related to his possession of this world's fate energy!"
Shura God's expression stiffened.
"Shura, I don't care what schemes you have, but for the safety of the Divine Realm, you must let this go!" the Evil God said coldly.
"Indeed. The Abyss… is something we can't afford to provoke right now."
Even the Goddess of Life and the Kind God agreed.
"..."
Faced with the pressure of four God Kings, Shura God was completely cornered.
They knew.
All along, he had thought he had covered his tracks perfectly, but now he realized
The other God Kings had been aware of his secret all along!
They had merely chosen not to expose him.
In the end, he had no choice but to compromise.
Divine Favor Revoked
The destiny energy surrounding Tang San was not naturally bestowed.
It was something Shura God had secretly manipulated, using the Divine Realm's Core to forcefully concentrate Douluo Continent's luck onto him artificially creating a Child of Destiny.
With such an immense favor from the world, Tang San's fortune was absurdly high.
As long as he remained on Douluo Continent, he would be able to miraculously escape danger no matter how perilous the situation, he would always survive.
Unless a god personally intervened, no one below the divine level could harm him, because the world's destiny would always twist fate to protect him.
This was why, in the original story, even against two gods the Angel God and Rakshasa God Tang San still managed to revive after being killed.
Once someone reached godhood, they transcended the world's fate.
The world's destiny could no longer protect them.
Shura God closed his eyes, connected his consciousness to the Divine Realm's Core, and revoked Tang San's favor.
Though the Divine Realm had lost direct control over Douluo Continent due to the mysterious Q&A system, the two realms were still connected.
And since Tang San's favor had been artificially created, removing it was as easy as flipping a switch.
After a moment, Shura God opened his eyes and declared,
"It's done. The fate energy has been removed."
"From now on, he's just an ordinary person."
"But since we can no longer control Douluo Continent's fate, we have no way of knowing who will become the next Child of Destiny..."
Douluo Continent Tang San's Misfortune Begins
At that very moment…
Tang San, who had been intently watching the video, suddenly shivered violently.
A bone chilling cold swept over him, like a deathly wind blowing straight through his soul.
His entire body trembled, his teeth chattered, and he felt as though his very essence was being drained away.
An indescribable sense of loss filled his heart.
It was as if something infinitely precious had just been taken from him.
And yet, he had no injuries.
Everything about him was the same as before.
But deep in his soul
He knew something was very, very wrong.
White Cloud City The New Child of Destiny
Meanwhile, in White Cloud City…
Ye Cheng, the most powerful genius of his generation, suddenly felt a strange sensation.
He instinctively looked up at the sky.
Then, closing his eyes, he was met with a feeling of absolute clarity
As if the entire world's mysteries had been revealed to him.
His understanding of cultivation deepened instantly.
He felt the bottleneck between Titled Douluo and godhood loosen
As if he could break through at any moment!
"What's happening…?"
He opened his eyes in shock.
For a brief moment, it felt as if a divine light had descended upon his mind.
Questions that had troubled him for years now seemed trivial.
Rules he could never fully grasp now felt instinctive.
Everything suddenly made sense.
"Is this… enlightenment?"
Ye Cheng was puzzled.
But what he didn't know
Was that the fate energy that once belonged to Tang San had now gathered around him instead.
By sheer coincidence, he had become the new Child of Destiny!
From this moment on
As long as he remained on Douluo Continent, he would be blessed by the world itself.
He would be nearly impossible to kill.
His understanding of the world's laws would increase exponentially.
And those around him would also receive his luck, accelerating their own growth.
This was why, in the original story, the Shrek Seven Devils became so powerful
It wasn't their talent.
It was because they had Tang San's luck carrying them.
Why Did the World Choose Ye Cheng?
The reason Douluo Continent's fate energy shifted to Ye Cheng was simple.
Among all living soul masters, Ye Cheng was:
The youngest genius
The strongest talent
The one with the greatest potential
Others, like Neptune (the new Sea God), Sun Zhongjing, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue, simply couldn't compare.
Thus, the world itself chose Ye Cheng as its new favored one.
Ye Cheng's Silent Joy
Though Ye Cheng didn't fully understand what had happened, he instinctively knew
Something great had just happened to him.
If he had the world's destiny supporting him, then his future…
Would be limitless.
And no matter what he did
Everything would go smoothly.
Even after becoming a god, as long as he remained on Douluo Continent, his blessings wouldn't disappear.
"What a pleasant surprise."
Meanwhile, Back in the Video…
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing decided not to retreat.
If they let the High Rank Abyssal Demon escape, it could hide and cause even greater problems later.
All they needed to do was stall it long enough for reinforcements to arrive.
Both women's bodies shone brilliantly, and…
The legendary God Rings unique to God Ring Masters appeared around them!
Ning Rongrong had three God Rings, while Zhu Zhuqing had five.
The more God Rings, the larger their size.
Zhu Zhuqing's first ring was only a few dozen meters, but her fifth ring spanned over 100 meters!
The deeper a God Ring Master cultivated, the larger their rings became.
