Hearing Rakshasa God's words, not only were Qian Renxue and Lingyuan stunned,
even Su Yan scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
It seemed to make sense.
God Trials were a Deity's tests for their successor; as for what the specific tests were, wasn't it entirely up to the Deity themselves?
Each Deity had their own thoughts and specific areas they wanted to test.
In fact,
as long as the Deity was willing, they could even force it upon someone directly like Asura God did.
Su Yan said somewhat speechlessly, "You guys in the Divine Realm sure have plenty of tricks up your sleeves!"
"Then again, looking at it this way, Asura God is the easiest to get along with. Why bother testing? Just handing it over for free is so much more practical."
Angel God spoke up to explain,
"You can't call it tricks. A God Trial is inherently a test to become a god."
"After all, when a Deity chooses a successor, they need to observe from all angles whether the successor is qualified and capable of inheriting the God Position."
Jade Rakshasa smiled and said, "Then guess why Tang San needed a scabbard?"
"Dual God Positions was only one factor. The main reason was that he never underwent Asura God's God Trial, nor was he baptized by Asura God's Divine Power, which was why he couldn't bear the power of two Deities."
"If Tang San had completed the God Trials of both Sea God and Asura God simultaneously, the result would obviously have been different."
"Though of course, there might have been conflicts during the God Trials as well."
Qian Renxue said with some gloom, "Then why does our Angel God Trial have that final Sacrifice trial?"
"Neither Rakshasa nor Asura had it, and it seems Ning Rongrong (Douluo II) and the others didn't have it for their God PositionInheritances either."
Angel God explained, "It's a bit complicated to explain. Poseidon and I agreed on this in the past."
"The High Priest oversees the affairs of the God Trials. Only when the High Priest knows that the Ninth Trial requires their own Sacrifice can they impartially select a qualified successor for the next God Position."
"Take Qian Daoliu for example. If he kept helping you, putting personal bias above guarding his duty, wouldn't your path to become a god become far too easy?"
"Heh."
Hearing this, Su Yan couldn't hold back and chuckled out loud.
Qian Renxue and the others looked at Su Yan in confusion and asked,
"What are you laughing at?"
"Is there something wrong with that?"
Su Yan scratched his head awkwardly and replied,
"It's nothing really, I just suddenly thought of something funny."
With that said,
Su Yan didn't forget to glance at Qian Renxue, this little crybaby. Her path to become a god was basically crying her way to becoming a god.
She was even jokingly dubbed the Cry God.
However, if one truly put themselves in Qian Renxue's shoes, they would realize it wasn't that she loved crying, but rather that her life was simply too tragic.
Her grandfather was gone.
Her father was killed by her mother.
And her mother had always hated her.
Who could possibly hold it together under all that!
Qian Renxue said rather exasperatedly, "I can't help feeling offended. What on earth are you thinking about?"
Su Yan rubbed Qian Renxue's head and replied, "Nothing much. I just remembered a little crybaby. While others were tested on morality, intelligence, fitness, arts, and labor, her test was just morals, morals, morals, morals, morals... and she cried her way to becoming a god."
Qian Renxue was momentarily taken aback by Su Yan's words before fiercely pinching the soft flesh at his waist, saying testily,
"You bastard, don't think I don't know you're talking about me!"
Bibi Dong looked at Su Yan and asked, "So, in Xiaoxue's God Trial, Qian Daoliu still went easy on her?"
Su Yan chuckled and replied, "He didn't just go easy on her—to be exact, he let a whole ocean through."
"Compared to Tang San battling Titled Douluos, Level 99Limit Douluos, 100,000-Year Soul Beasts, and Million-Year Soul Beasts the entire way, our little crybaby was practically guaranteed and fast-tracked to become a god."
"Of course, Tang San's God Trial also had corners cut, but his leeway was granted by Sea God. As for Bo Saixi, if not for Tang San's connection to Tang Chen, Bo Saixi would have already developed murderous intent toward him."
Qian Renxue glared at Su Yan speechlessly and sighed helplessly at this.
Rakshasa God laughed and said,
"Actually, there's another important reason why God Trials must be somewhat difficult."
"After all, we fellows went through arduous hardships and narrow escapes from death to become a god. If becoming a god were too easy and comfortable for you latecomers, we wouldn't feel it was fair either, right?"
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Su Yan nearly burst into hysterical laughter.
"Spot on!"
"Darling, starting today, you're the Eldest Direct disciple of our 'Tellers of Hard Truths' Sect."
Rakshasa God also chuckled and said, "My name is Jade Rakshasa, and I do love telling a bit of honest truth."
Qian Renxue gave the two of them a speechless look before turning her head to call out to Angel God:
"Old Ancestor, is Rakshasa God being serious?"
Angel God nodded and replied, "For the majority of Deities, yes. As for me, I hope my successor is a qualified successor."
Bibi Dong mused, "So whether for public duty or private reasons, whichever mindset the Deities hold, they won't let successors become a god too easily."
Rakshasa God nodded and said, "Of course, there's also a case like Asura God's—he was desperate! He just forced the God Position on him, completely disregarding whether Tang San might die."
"In that kind of situation, it was only because Tang San happened to have Pendant Wu, who was willing to act as a scabbard; otherwise, for anyone else, it would have been a tragedy."
"Oh no!"
Bibi Dong's heart suddenly tightened as she said, "If that's the case, wanting Chrysanthemum Douluo to inherit the God Position of a First-Class God won't be that easy either."
"No worries,"
Rakshasa God said, "The God Trial tasks can be made simpler, while the rewards and Divine Power baptism can be granted as usual. Plus, with us around, even if he accepts the God PositionInheritance of a God King, there won't be any major issues."
"Oh no!"
Lingyuan's expression suddenly turned conflicted.
Su Yan asked in confusion, "Aunt Lingyuan, what's gone wrong with you now?"
Lingyuan looked at Qian Renxue gloomily and spoke up:
"Given the current situation, if Xiaoxue inherits the current Angel God's God Position, she can directly reach God King."
"That means she can leap across at least fifty levels of Divine Power, and reaching a breakthrough to Supreme God-King afterward won't take long at all."
"Why didn't I find a God Position to inherit? Why was I in such a rush to break through Rank 100 directly to become a god!"
"I regret this so much!"
Lingyuan's gut truly burned with regret now.
Originally, she had a huge advantage.
After all, she had joined the Group Chat early on and was the ninth to become an Administrator.
She hadn't missed out on any rewards.
Yet now, a great hand had been played terribly by her.
Bibi Dong, however, felt a bit like laughing:
"Oh Lingyuan, in your past life you died trying to snatch the first credit, and in this life you're still rash and impatient, making a wrong move at such a crucial step."
"Your personality determines your fate!"
This move had actually opened up a massive gap. Because Lingyuan was originally a Titled Douluo, normally the gap between her and Bibi Dong wasn't that large.
Yet now she had to level up step-by-step point-by-point, and by the time she became a First-Class God, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and the others would likely inherit God Positions and catch right up to her.
