Aside from the hairstyle being twin tails, she looked exactly the same as the Ning Rongrong inside the barrier.
"How's it going over there?" The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong who walked out asked.
"It's alright! Plans can't keep up with changes, but it should be fine." The original Ning Rongrong inside the barrier nodded, looking toward the twin-tailed Ning Rongrong and inquiring, "Did you bring everything the main body mentioned?"
"Mm. The Demon Empress's soul bones and soul rings didn't disappear, so I brought them directly." The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong nodded. "Next is stripping Tang San's god position after he becomes a god, but the probability of creating a god…"
"The probability issue is for the main body to handle. Why should we clones worry about so much?"
"Then did you ask Lan Fozi Child? What if she doesn't agree?"
The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong's gaze turned toward Lan Fozi Child. Lan Fozi Child wiped her tears, her face showing confusion. She didn't quite understand what the two Ning Rongrongs were talking about.
Still, she could tell that her mother the Demon Empress's soul bones and soul rings had been brought over—something major was probably about to happen.
"Lan Fozi Child, we have a plan to create a god. If it succeeds, it should allow your father and mother to live on in another way. Whether to do it or not is up to you to decide."
"But we can't guarantee a one hundred percent success rate. We can only say the probability is relatively high."
"Do it. No matter the probability, as long as it can revive Dad and Mom, I'll do it." Lan Fozi Child clung to it like a lifeline.
"Listen to me finish first. The Demon Empress and Deep Sea Demonic Whale King have fallen—we deeply sympathize. On behalf of the main body, I express my apologies to your family."
"But the idea to create a god only came up just now. Although the theoretical success rate is high, the danger level is equally great."
"If it fails…"
…
Star Dou Great Forest.
Xue Di, who had been sitting cross-legged in recovery, slowly opened her eyes. Her deep gaze looked toward the distant horizon.
"What's wrong, Xue Di?" Bing Di, who had been bored out of her mind, noticed the surprise on Xue Di's face and couldn't help feeling curious.
"Someone has become a god—and not a brand-new god at rank 101."
"Who?" Bing Di walked to Xue Di's side, her expression slightly stunned. She started counting on her fingers. "Bibi Dong? Qian Renxue? Or Qian Daoliu?"
"It's not Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong is right here—if she were becoming a god, you'd be able to sense it too."
"As for Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, it probably isn't them either."
"The vast water vapor in the air is moving toward one direction. Because of my attribute, my perception is sharper, so I can detect it."
"Water vapor… Sea God?"
"Mm. It should be the Sea God. This familiar aura… it might be Tang San."
Bing Di's eyes widened in disbelief. "Don't lie to me—Tang San, that unlucky little brat, became a god?"
Xue Di nodded, though her tone wasn't entirely certain. "He's from the future. You and I both know this from Ning Rongrong's mouth. In the future he was probably a god as well, so ascending directly would naturally be familiar to him."
"Where?"
"Out at sea near Vast Sea City. I don't know the exact spot—it's too far."
"Should we go take a look?" Bing Di asked worriedly.
Xue Di shook her head. "No need. Someone will be even more anxious about Tang San becoming a god than we are."
"Let's just wait slowly." With that, Xue Di once again faded into the air and entered a cultivation state, leaving Bing Di full of doubts, kicking stones back and forth, not knowing what to do.
"Sigh, sigh, sigh. When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up. The Ice Jade Scorpion clan isn't tall to begin with, and I'm not strong either—why worry about so much?" Bing Di silently grumbled to herself.
At this moment, in the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's sea domain.
Vast water vapor rapidly poured into Tang San's body, gathering, purifying, and fusing with his own soul power to form divine power.
"So this is what the divine realm is like!"
Ning Rongrong observed without rushing to attack. Honestly, this was the first time she had seen someone become a god. Xue Di's earlier ascension had been like being forcibly enlightened—there was no reference value at all.
Through her powerful perception, Ning Rongrong clearly sensed how Tang San ignited the divine fire.
So-called gods reshape the body, blood, and bones; turn soul bones into divine bones; and allow the soul to ascend to a higher dimension. But this framework requires the support of divine position rules.
Moreover, one point is that martial souls are not necessary after reaching god level—they can be reshaped. After all, this is a rule evolved from the Dragon God fragments; it could even be called a restriction.
To a god, it's more like a divine artifact.
After becoming a god, once the limbs and strength stabilize and one breaks free from the divine position's restrictions, the strength won't drop too much.
"I more or less understand now."
In these two and a half years of cultivation, Ning Rongrong hadn't only been training. She had also studied the divine realm cultivation insights left by Sea God Bo Saixi, combined with her own exploration, and now witnessing Tang San's ascension firsthand.
The secrets of martial souls and soul power—she had completely analyzed them.
"Hahahaha, hahahahahaha!"
An abrupt voice rang out, echoing through the air.
The pressure emanating from the Seagod's Trident was countless times stronger than before.
"Ning Rongrong, I have ascended to godhood!"
Noticing Ning Rongrong's calm face without any expression, Tang San felt irritated.
Though he hadn't reached God King level, with the Divine Realm currently unable to descend to the mortal world, his strength was already invincible under heaven.
Defeating Ning Rongrong, recovering to first-level god Sea God status, or even achieving Asura—it wasn't a dream anymore; it was only a matter of course.
"Tang San, just reaching the peak of a second-level god and you've already lost your senses?"
"Fine, fine, fine—little second-level god." Tang San laughed in extreme anger.
"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"
Countless afterimages appeared from nothing, flickering nonstop around Ning Rongrong.
A terrifying divine realm pressure locked onto Ning Rongrong tightly.
A resounding metallic clang echoed across the sea:
"Seagod's Thirteen Forms—Body and Halberd as One, Stars Shift!"
The flickering afterimages began to fuse with the Seagod's Trident, achieving true unity of man and weapon.
With the steps of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, it became impossible to tell which was real and which was fake.
In almost the same instant,
Thousands upon thousands of Seagod's Tridents, entwined with water blades that seemed capable of cutting through anything, slashed viciously toward Ning Rongrong—determined to kill her.
Ning Rongrong's eyelids moved slightly. She took a gentle step forward—her body didn't even seem to shift.
"Clang clang clang clang—"
Tens of thousands of Seagod's Tridents passed straight through Ning Rongrong's body, yet it was as though they struck nothing at all.
After the frenzied barrage ended, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track vanished. Tang San panted lightly, saying in disbelief: "You… how exactly did you do that?"
He clearly sensed her right in front of him, yet he couldn't hit her.
"Ah, I call this move Kyōka Suigetsu." Ning Rongrong gently lifted her gaze, her tone still calm.
"Why do you think becoming a god makes you my opponent? Just because you plundered the Love God's divine power to recover to second-level god cultivation?"
Ning Rongrong's mocking words caused Tang San's entire face to darken. "A Title Douluo who isn't even a god—no matter how special you are, you won't be my match. Surrender, Ning Rongrong."
"Go die!" Tang San charged toward Ning Rongrong again. The Seagod's Trident swung with ferocious power.
"Seagod's Thirteen Forms—Unfixed Storm."
"Useless, Tang San!" Ning Rongrong's brownish-black eyes began to change—not just the pupils, but clock pendulums also appeared behind her.
In almost an instant, she erased the Unfixed Storm released by the Seagod's Trident.
"No… impossible!"
Tang San rapidly retreated. Almost the moment he pulled back, the path he had just passed through began to collapse, turning into a massive spatial rift.
"Ah, as expected of a God King—your perception really is sharp."
"You…" Tang San's face twisted in anger. Even after becoming a god, he still couldn't defeat her?
"No… perhaps there is one way."
That move—he might be able to erase the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King in a short instant.
After becoming a god, using Purple Extreme Demon Eye to execute that move would surely be far stronger, and he still had the amplification of Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Yes—the advantage was still on his side.
"As long as I hit in one instant, that's enough."
A martial soul appeared in Tang San's left hand. Compared to the Clear Sky Hammer, the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul was slightly weaker.
Even after the nine examinations, it only had nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings plus one blue-gold divine ring.
But compared to the Clear Sky Hammer, the Blue Silver Emperor was truly Tang San's innate martial soul.
Tang San's expression turned solemn.
Blood-red Blue Silver Emperor tore through the void, spreading out from space.
