Chapter 315: Tang San's Decision
When the black dragon, Di Tian, reappeared, his voice sounded incredibly angry, clearly because the Sky Blue Bull Python had broken its promise and brought people here again.
Tang San quickly spoke, "Senior, please calm your anger. I have something I wish to discuss with you."
Di Tian glanced at Tang San. "Interesting, the inheritor of the Asura God's legacy. It's a pity, with your current strength, I have no desire to talk with you."
"Leave this place quickly, or I will tear you apart."
At that moment, the Sky Blue Bull Python felt a tremendous pressure, as though he was nothing more than a young snake before Di Tian, with no ability to resist.
Tang San said, "Senior, the Angel God has appeared on the Douluo Continent. I fear that he will target you as well, so I came to warn you and seek cooperation."
Di Tian snorted coldly. "You little brat, I can see through your little scheme. The Angel God and the Asura God are natural enemies. Now that the Angel God has appeared, she will never spare you, the inheritor of the Asura God. Do you think you're going to hide behind the soul beast clan to avoid being hunted down?"
Tang San gritted his teeth. "Since Senior knows I am the inheritor of the Asura God, then I must have the qualifications to cooperate with you. Once I become a god, I will surely be able to help the soul beast clan."
Di Tian sneered. "Don't talk to me about being the inheritor of the Asura God. Even if you were truly the Asura God, what of it? On this Douluo Continent, I am not afraid of these so-called pseudo-gods."
Tang San's heart brightened. Originally, he had been afraid that Di Tian might not be strong enough and would hesitate to shelter him. But now, from Di Tian's tone, it seemed like he had no fear of Qian Renxue, which could buy him some time.
"Senior, if you were able to cooperate with the inheritor of the Shura God, why can't you cooperate with me, the inheritor of the Asura God?" Tang San asked.
A look of disdain appeared in Di Tian's eyes. "The inheritor of the Shura God already possesses a divine weapon and has the qualifications to communicate with me. You, though you are the inheritor of the Asura God, lack both a divine weapon and the corresponding strength. What grounds do you have to cooperate with me?"
"Moreover, the Asura God is merely a madman with no status in the divine realm. If not for the support of evil, she would have been torn apart long ago. How could she compare to the Shura, the God King?"
Tang San quickly responded, "Senior, have you considered another issue? Whether it's Qian Renxue or Yang Xiong, they are both from the human race. As the saying goes, 'those who are not of my kind are bound to have different hearts.' They will never truly cooperate with the soul beast clan."
"But I am different. The person I love most in this life is Xiao Wu. I would do anything for her. My mother is also from the soul beast clan, so I can be considered half a soul beast."
"If I become a god, even if my strength and status are still low, I will be the only one who will truly consider the soul beast clan. I will be one of your own."
"I can see that you are dissatisfied with the divine realm. If you have my help, perhaps the soul beast clan will have a real opportunity."
Di Tian fell silent after hearing these words, and then let out a loud dragon's roar. The giant dragon shrank rapidly, eventually turning into a black-robed man over two meters tall.
Di Tian stared at Tang San. "With your current strength, how can you cooperate with me? What can you offer?"
Tang San thought for a moment before speaking, "Senior, I am now at Rank 97. Once I reach Rank 99, I can inherit the Asura God's position. But for now, I cannot afford to be disturbed by the Angel God."
Di Tian replied, "That is no problem. There is a barrier of my soul beast clan here. Even the divine realm cannot sense it. As long as you stay on this rock, no god will be able to find you or harm you."
"But as I said, what can you contribute to my soul beast clan? Do you know that the Asura God has little influence in the divine realm? It's not certain that I should protect you."
Tang San retorted, "Since you are willing to discuss cooperation with me, it means you must have a need. Senior, please feel free to tell me your demands."
Di Tian nodded. "The task I have for you is simple. When you enter the divine realm, find a place where something is sealed, something related to my soul beast clan. You need to find a way to help me release the sealed entity."
Tang San's face changed slightly. "This task seems troublesome. Doesn't the soul beast clan have the ability to do this?"
Di Tian snorted coldly. "If it were that simple, why would I risk sheltering you? Why would I go against the newly appointed Angel God?"
"Had it not been for your soul beast bloodline, you would have no qualifications to cooperate with me."
Tang San gritted his teeth. "Senior, don't you trust my strength? I possess twin martial souls. Especially my Haotian Hammer, all of its soul rings are over 50,000 years old. In terms of both talent and strength, I am the strongest in this world."
"If I become a god in the future, I will surely become the strongest being, and I will help you make the soul beast clan great again."
Di Tian laughed. "Tang San, you overestimate yourself. You know nothing about the gods. If it weren't for the fact that there are no soul beasts left in the divine realm after the great war, I wouldn't even consider cooperating with you."
Tang San quickly asked, "Senior, does the divine realm not value talent?"
All this time, Tang San had been very confident in his talent. Not only did he possess innate full soul power, but he also had the Xuantian Skill. His two martial souls were both extremely powerful.
Over the years, he had broken many records in the soul master world. He had been the youngest Soul Master and Soul King, and now he was the youngest Title Douluo. Even Yang Xiong couldn't match him.
Di Tian sneered. "It seems you've been deceived by the Asura God. You may have some talent in the Douluo world, but compared to the gods of the divine realm, you are too far behind."
"Take the five God Kings of the divine realm, for example. Not only do they possess God King-level positions, but they also inherently master powers that surpass the Douluo world. Take that Yang Xiong you encountered before. He has already mastered a trace of Shura God power. Even if this power is weak, it still exceeds the limits of the Douluo world."
"And you, right now, only possess a trace of Asura God power. Compared to true God King-level experts, the gap is far too great."
Tang San asked, "Senior, are the five God Kings in the divine realm really that powerful? Is it truly impossible to surpass them?"
Di Tian shook his head. "Compared to humans, everyone in the divine realm has cultivated for an incredibly long time. The five God Kings have reached a level of 150. For ordinary gods, after reaching Rank 100, each level becomes extraordinarily difficult to advance, far surpassing the gap between Rank 99 and 100."
"Moreover, the divine realm has a strict hierarchy. Due to the limitations of their divine positions, the gods can never reach the God King level. Take Seagod and Angel God for example—they are always just first-level gods. They can never reach the God King level. The gap is far beyond your imagination."
"Even the strongest among the dragons in my clan can only reach the God King level, and that took countless years."
Upon hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but swallow. This was the first time he had heard about the gods, and it was the first time he learned about the disparity between different gods.
Tang San's eyes showed a strong sense of unwillingness. He had only inherited the Asura God's position, yet Yang Xiong was able to inherit the Shura God's position. There was a huge gap between the Asura God and Shura God, a massive difference in their potential.
Finally, Tang San gritted his teeth. "Senior, I believe that human will can overcome heaven. Just give me the opportunity, and I will become the strongest god in the world. Even the gods of the divine realm won't be able to crush me."
Di Tian laughed. "You young one are interesting, but it's a pity. If you had inherited the strongest bloodline of my soul beast clan, perhaps you would have had a chance. But now, it's too late for you. Since you have already inherited the Asura God's position, your future is already limited."
Tang San remained silent, but deep inside, an extremely strong desire stirred. Compared to the gods of the divine realm, his greatest advantage was the Xuantian Skill.
Tang San had cultivated for many years, and he understood how powerful Xuantian Skill was. It came from the Tang Sect's Daoist methods from another world. In a sense, it was a different kind of rule, one that even gods might not surpass.
Di Tian continued, "You and I can still cooperate. As long as you stay on this rock, you will avoid the Angel God's detection. As for the other things you want to do, that will depend on your strength."
Tang San quickly responded, "Thank you, Senior. I will not disappoint the agreement with you."
Di Tian didn't say anything further. He turned into a black dragon and exhaled a breath of energy, instantly enveloping the area around the rock for several hundred meters.
Tang San felt as if he had entered a realm of illusion. He couldn't even detect anything outside of the black dragon's aura.
Soon after, Di Tian flew into the Lake of Life, and his overwhelming aura disappeared without a trace.
Tang San looked at the place where Di Tian had vanished, a look of confusion in his eyes.
The soul beast clan was deeper than he had imagined. Di Tian, who wasn't even afraid of the gods, might there be even more secrets hidden in the Lake of Life?
Xiao Wu quickly turned to Tang San. "Brother San, now we are safe. Although this rock is small, it is enough for you to cultivate. Now that I am here with Great Ming, you should be able to achieve your goal."
Tang San gave a bitter smile. "Xiao Wu, although I can block Qian Renxue's detection, it is still not enough. I must quickly increase my strength, and what I truly need is to obtain the last two soul rings for the Haotian Hammer."
