Considering everything that had happened,
'God!'
'Another god!'
'If I had to guess, this little hammer, like the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, is a key to starting a divine trial?'
'No wonder Tang San suddenly attacked; the protagonist's halo must have kicked in!'
'It's a good thing I didn't let it go; didn't I still grab this opportunity?'
Thinking this over, Tang Lan deactivated his Soul God Eye and withdrew from within the hammer.
He had already bonded with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and possessed the Sea God Mark.
It's impossible to obtain trials from other gods.
Unless it's someone like the Asura God, then the Sea God might turn a blind eye.
But judging by this little hammer, it has nothing to do with the Five Godkings.
Tang Lan pondered. Maybe give it to Tang Hao?
The hammer as an inheritance, seems to have a connection with the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Buzz——"
The small hammer in his hand emitted black light, devouring his internal energy.
The size and weight of the small hammer were also rapidly increasing.
What the heck is this?
Tang Lan flung his hand, trying to get rid of the little hammer.
But it stuck to his palm, even preventing him from opening his hand.
"Oh ho! You're serious, huh?"
Tang Lan simply activated his Adamantine Body and raised the hammer again.
As if seeing Tang Lan's resilience.
The hammer's size suddenly increased several times, from the size of a palm to over a person's height.
The weight also doubled, heading towards ten tons.
Tang Lan's face instantly turned green!
You can't just jump like that!
"Pfft—"
The Eight Spider Lances tore through his clothes, providing a massive boost.
Only then did Tang Lan barely steady himself.
That hammer didn't give him any chance to breathe, and it jumped again!
"Damn it!"
"Adamantine Body!!!"
The Adamantine Body's golden light turned to a molten gold, completely coloring Tang Lan's original skin, transforming him into a body of adamantine!
Under the amplification of the Nine Yang Divine Skill's internal energy, even at the minor completion stage, it could boost his strength and physique by 500%!!!
The originally overburdened hammer was once again steadily lifted by him, even wielded a few times.
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
Terrifying sonic booms exploded, and the airflow created a storm, shattering the surrounding tables and furniture.
And this was only the destructive power caused by pure strength.
"This little hammer of yours is quite handy, isn't it?" Tang Lan said, provoking.
Then, the hammer's weight increased again!
Tang Lan had no power to resist this time and was thrown to the ground heavily.
Boom——
The entire building collapsed.
Crashing——
Tang Lan burst out of the ruins, still gleaming with golden light.
Other than his torn clothes, he was unharmed.
However, he raised his left palm, in which there was a small hammer mark.
From the hammer mark, black light flew out, transforming into a ten-meter-tall phantom, looking down at Tang Lan.
——This situation, how similar it is to what happened not long ago?
"You are quite good, mortal."
The black phantom spoke with satisfaction—
"I am a First Grade God, the God of Destruction, under the Godking of Destruction."
"Are you willing to undergo the God of Destruction Nine Trials, and inherit my godhood?"
Tang Lan blinked.
He silently put his right hand behind his back, looking at the phantom in front of him with confusion.
He knew the God of Destruction, also known as the Hercules.
It's the divine position Zhou Weiqing inherited at the end of Heavenly Jewel Change.
But...
Is this guy's mind shriveled up because he has too much muscle?
Didn't he see the Sea God Mark on his right hand, it's so big?
Wait a minute!
Tang Lan suddenly realized a problem—the passive ability of his Soul God Eye is: Soul Lock!
Even for divine consciousness.
If he wants to see through his background, he has to break the lock first.
So...
This wisp of the God of Destruction's divine consciousness might not want to bother with that effort?
'I can try to do something.'
Otherwise, I won't get this opportunity, and the rewards won't appear either.
Worst case scenario, I explode, but I have the Soul Bone's regeneration and the Soul of Destiny Heart for a takeover.
If it works... Besides the two first-level gods in front of me, wouldn't I be able to directly inherit the Godking position from the Asura God without all the trouble?
Thinking of this.
Tang Lan revealed a brilliant smile and nodded repeatedly.
"I have no problem. Please, go ahead."
The God of Destruction's consciousness didn't suspect anything and pointed at Tang Lan from afar.
The phantom turned into a black light, shooting from the fingertip and enveloping Tang Lan.
A vast voice echoed.
"Commencing the God of Destruction Nine Trials!"
"God of Destruction First Trial—Bestow a 100,000-year First Soul Ring upon the Martial Soul, Thunder Flame Clear Sky Hammer!"
Tang Lan didn't have time to consider these things.
In his left hand, the God of Destruction Mark; in his right, the Sea God Mark.
Previously, with the soul seal in place, the God of Destruction hadn't noticed the Sea God Mark.
Now that he was in here,
he immediately sensed something was amiss!
——Why is it so crowded in here?
The God of Destruction Mark immediately burst forth with black light, attempting to dispel the Sea God Mark.
Would the Sea God Mark allow that?
It too blazed with blue light, clashing with the black.
And as the host, Tang Lan was suffering.
His golden body was covered in cracks, like a porcelain doll about to shatter.
"Soul Bone Skill: Regeneration!"
A massive life force surged forth, but the repair speed couldn't keep up with the destruction.
Just delaying the explosion by a few seconds.
Indeed, I was still too naive.
Seeing that he was about to be turned to dust.
Tang Lan had already prepared to choose someone nearby and activate the Soul of Destiny Heart to revive.
So he could rush over and pick up his exploded Soul Bones.
A system prompt rang out!
[Host has obtained the God of Destruction Nine Trials, causing Tang San to miss out on the God of Destruction position. Plundering a large amount of Tang San's Luck!]
[Reward: "Soul Spirit Eye Evolution: Soul God Eye"!]
[Reward: "Extreme Attribute: Strength"!]
[Reward: "Soul Spirit Equality Contract"!]
The evolved Soul God Eye only gained one more ability: Spiritual Sense Sealing!
The effect is simple: it seals spiritual sense.
It prevents spiritual sense from perceiving the outside world.
Naturally, it also prevents them from knowing that their "candidate" is playing both sides.
'System is awesome!'
Tang Lan quickly activated the Soul God Eye and applied Spiritual Sense Sealing to both marks.
The two surging divine powers instantly lost their targets.
Both thought they had succeeded in driving the other away, and retreated back into their marks like the ebbing tide.
Tang Lan, who was about to split apart, was quickly repaired.
"Phew—" Tang Lan exhaled deeply, "The system is still reliable!"
However, this problem of divine position conflict was only postponed for the time being.
He would still have to face it in the future.
The worst outcome was to complete the Sea God Nine Trials first.
—He was already the Sea God, so why would he fear the penalty of failing the God of Destruction Nine Trials?
This would still give him a chance to obtain the Asura God position, achieving dual god coexistence.
As for the best outcome...
Although Tang Lan almost died just now, he did manage to hold on for a few seconds, didn't he?
And he was only a Soul King with five Soul Rings.
As long as his body was strong enough to withstand the collision of two divine powers,
he would have a chance to subdue them.
Perhaps, if he were even a little stronger, it wouldn't be impossible for three gods to coexist?
What am I dreaming about?
It's better to prioritize the Asura God's divine position.
First, I'll go to the City of Slaughter to see if I can get the Asura God Nine Trials.
Then I'll see what to do next.
He made up his mind.
Tang Lan opened his right hand.
Activating the Sea God Mark, he put away the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
Then he opened his left hand.
He summoned that small hammer from beneath the ruins.
Both were First-Grade God artifacts.
The small hammer the God of Destruction used to search for an inheritor was naturally also a divine tool.
As for its effect…
Tang Lan summoned his Martial Soul, the Thunder Flame Clear Sky Hammer, and smashed it down on the small hammer.
"Plan--"
