Thousands of years ago, Douluo Continent.
Tiandou City, Tangmen Mansion, Meditation Room.
"Buzz buzz—"
The Shura Divine Sword hovering in the air shook violently.
Seeing this, Tang San understood its meaning.
With a wave of his hand, he grasped the Shura Divine Sword and switched his divine position to the Shura God state. At the same time, he used the resonance of the Shura Divine Sword to draw his consciousness to the Shura Temple.
During this period, God Shura always summoned himself in this way.
After going back and forth, although he has not yet ascended to the divine realm, he is already familiar with the Shura Temple. As usual, Tang San came to the training room where Shura God often met him.
Sure enough, God Shura is waiting here.
"Lord Shura God."
"Tang San, I told you that now that you have accepted the Shura God's position, you have become the next Shura God in the God Realm. Your status is the same as mine, so we don't need to be so polite when we meet."
God Shura waved his hand and spoke calmly.
"Then let me call you senior."
Tang San slightly cupped his hands and said in a respectful tone, "I wonder why senior called Tang San here today?"
"The Council of the God Realm has agreed that I will change the position of God. In a while, you should prepare to ascend to the God Realm, so that I can leave the God Realm as soon as possible. Poseidon has the same idea as me."
"yes."
Hearing this, Tang San's eyes flashed slightly.
"but--"
The conversation changed and God Shura continued.
"Because according to the rules of divine succession, once a god comes down to the divine realm for assessment, other gods are not allowed to interfere during the assessment. Therefore, an inheritor can only inherit one god."
"And in the process of passing on the divine status to you, I used some abnormal inheritance methods to graft Tang Chen's assessment solution onto you, making you become the God of Poseidon and the God of Shura at the same time."
"Strictly speaking, the way you inherited both the Shura God and the Poseidon at the same time is against the rules. The rules of the divine world cannot be abolished, but the inheritance of the God's throne cannot be changed."
"So after discussion and decision by the God Realm Committee, you need to complete an assessment assigned by the God Realm again before you can fly to the God Realm and legally inherit the position of God Shura."
"..."
When Tang San heard this, his heart tightened.
The idea that he could take over the throne of God was shattered instantly.
After learning from God Shura during this period, he already knew that the God Realm divided gods into five classes according to their strength and status: priests, third-level gods, second-level gods, first-level gods, and god kings.
Among them, the one with the strongest status and strength is the God King.
The Shura god he inherited is one of the five great god kings.
With such a lofty identity and status, he would naturally not give up just like he did when he first came into contact with the inheritance of gods. Now even if he would rather not lose the Sea God position, he doesn't want to lose the Shura God position.
"Do not be nervous."
"The purpose of setting up assessments is to maintain the rules."
God Shura saw Tang San's little thoughts and said slowly: "Since you have inherited the priesthood of God Shura, the God Realm will not deprive you of your divine position. What's more, you are still my chosen successor."
Hearing this, Tang San relaxed slightly.
"Senior, what exactly is that request?"
"This assessment is very simple. You only need to plant this tree on Douluo Continent before ascending to the God Realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shura waved his divine hand.
The next moment, a green sapling appeared in the palm of his hand.
Although he looks young, he exudes vitality.
"This is……"
"This is the tree of life. It evolved from a branch and leaf on the ancient tree of life, the goddess of life. The tree is as its name suggests: it is born with a strong affinity for the power of life."
"..."
Hearing this, Tang San was slightly startled.
Plant a tree? Will the assessment task be so simple?
Could it be that there is something wrong with the Tree of Life?
Thinking of this, doubts arose in Tang San's heart.
After pondering for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Senior Shura God, does this Tree of Life have any special purpose?"
"You guessed it right."
God Shura nodded slightly and said in a calm tone: "The function of this Tree of Life is to absorb the life force on the Douluo Continent and transfer it to the God Realm. It is used to fill my God Realm with fairy spirit energy."
"In this way, we can offset the irregularities in the inheritance of the divine throne, and smoothly ascend to the divine realm to complete the transition of divine thrones. This is the solution discussed by the divine realm committee."
"..."
When Tang San heard this, his expression suddenly dawned.
If this is the reason, it does make sense.
Tang San, who was about to ascend to the God Realm, didn't care what would happen if Douluo Continent lost his life force. But in order to maintain a glorious image, he still put on a worried look.
"Senior Shura, I don't know..."
"Will this move affect Douluo Continent?"
"The power of life is the foundation for the operation of the world. The sudden loss of part of it will of course affect the stability of the Douluo Continent. As a result, the continent's endurance will be greatly reduced. The destructive power of the soul master has been significantly improved..."
After saying this, Tang San immediately understood its meaning.
The specific manifestation is that only the attacks of Titled Douluo level soul masters can distort space. After the life force is extracted, a soul saint level attack may be able to do it.
"so--"
"How do you choose?"
Saying that, God Shura looked at Tang San playfully.
"this……"
Hearing this, Tang San had a troubled look on his face.
Although he had already made his choice, he still deliberately put on a struggling and hesitant posture in front of God Shura. After being silent for a while, he sighed helplessly and began to justify his choice to inherit the throne.
"As a member of Douluo Continent, Tang San should not affect the continent's space stability for his own selfish desires."
"But the elder's orders cannot be violated. It is my grandfather's last wish to inherit the throne of Shura God. In order to fulfill my grandfather's last wish, I must firmly take the position of God Shura."
"Of course, I will try my best to make up for the mainland in the future."
"..."
then--
In a sincere speech, Tang San picked it off completely: showing that he did not covet the Shura God's position, but did it to fulfill his great-grandfather's wish.
"Well said."
Hearing this, God Shura nodded with satisfaction and added.
"Although the loss of life force has affected the stability of the continent, our God Realm has also provided shelter in the Douluo Continent and provided a channel for ordinary soul masters to ascend."
"In this way, we don't owe each other anything."
Tang San nodded and agreed, "Senior is right."
Looking at the sapling of the ancient tree of life, his eyes were extremely hot: as if he were looking at his own Shura god.
"but……"
At this moment, God Shura suddenly changed the subject, "Although you have inherited my position as Shura and become the new God King of the God Realm, whether you can completely secure your position as God King depends on your own ability."
"..."
Tang San was slightly startled when he heard this.
But soon, he heard the hidden meaning of God Shura.
"Tang is an ordinary soul master in Douluo Continent. Fortunately, thanks to the favor of Senior God Shura and Senior God Poseidon, I can inherit your position as King Shura and ascend to the God Realm."
"It doesn't matter what my status is in the God Realm, but I am your chosen successor after all. I am afraid that I will live up to the expectations of my predecessors and disgrace your name as Shura God."
After a short pause, Tang San said respectfully.
"My ability to inherit the title of Shura God depends entirely on the support of my seniors. Please give me some more advice from my juniors. Tang San will definitely keep it in mind. I will never let down your kindness."
"Tang San, you are a smart man."
Hear this, God Shura
He smiled and then said slowly: "I do have a way for you to secure your position as God King."
"The main source of power of the gods in the divine world is the power of faith. Whether they are the five great god kings or ordinary priests, if they want to improve their strength, they cannot do without the blessing of the power of faith."
"And the power of faith comes from the offerings of beings in the lower world. The more people who believe in you, the more power of faith you get, and your strength will naturally become stronger."
"The main reason why our five great god kings have a superior status is because we have a sufficient number of believers under our command."
"However, the wishes of all living beings are different, and the power of faith formed is also different. It needs to be refined and purified, and the dirty parts can be eliminated before it can be absorbed by us."
"And the filthy part of the power of faith is what we call the poison of faith. These poisons of faith are of no benefit to the God Realm, but they are difficult to remove and have plagued the God Realm for a long time."
"If this thing can be cleared out of the God Realm..."
Having said this, God Shura paused and looked at Tang San.
"Senior, you mean...if I can get rid of the poison of faith, I can secure your position?" Tang San asked tentatively.
"good."
God Shura glanced at Tang San appreciatively, and then continued.
"Then what should I do?"
"For the God Realm, which has countless auxiliary planes, it is a world that is not lacking in the power of life. But a container to deal with the poison of faith is what the God Realm is in urgent need of right now."
"The power of life in the Tree of Life can offset the poison of faith to a certain extent. With a little modification, it can theoretically become a container to contain the poison of faith."
"what do I need to do?"
Tang San took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.
"I can teach you how to transform the Tree of Life."
"But if you want it to be able to withstand the poison of faith in the entire God Realm, you need to inject enough power of luck into it to directly connect it with the fate of Douluo Continent. Then the golden ancient trees will continue to be obtained. With the blessing of the power of destiny, it is hoped that this will remain stable."
Changing the topic, God Shura said in a deep voice: "But the consequences of doing so will offend the God of Destruction."
"Because the original strategy of the Tree of Life was designed by him. And transforming the Tree of Life provided by the God of Destruction is equivalent to taking away the merits that originally belonged to the God of Destruction. Therefore, he will be at odds with Destruction."
"But after you resolve the poison of faith, your name as God King will be recognized by everyone, and you will gain the same status as veteran God Kings such as Destruction. You will become one of the five true God Kings in the God Realm. No one can shake your status. .”
"..."
Hearing this, Tang San fell into silence for a moment.
Seeing this, God Shura did not rush him to make a decision.
After all, this choice determines his future in the God Realm.
Shura God's meaning has been expressed very clearly.
If Tang San planted the Tree of Life in the normal way, then after ascending to the God Realm, he would still be the Five God Kings in name. However, there is a huge gap between the right to speak in the God Realm and the destruction of such veteran-level God-Kings.
Affected by his status and strength, the gods loyal to him in the divine world will also be affected. If things go on like this, he may never be able to become a true God King.
Because Tang San had just arrived, the position of God King was just an illusion to him. If he wanted to secure this position, he had to find a God King he could rely on.
Just like Lie Yan and Ji Dong in the original work.
Although they are the good and evil god kings in name, in fact their status in the God Realm Council cannot be compared with Tang San and Destruction. There were no gods around them who were loyal to them.
To be more precise, they still need to flatter others, so they have no choice but to rely on Tang San in order to secure their position.
And if it was the second choice to transform the Tree of Life, although this move would offend the God of Destruction, it would allow Tang San to become a true god-king with control over the right to speak.
Although strength
It is not enough to compare with the elders such as Destruction, but it is completely equal in status in the God Realm and no one can shake it. No need to look at anyone's face.
The first choice is to become a nominal god king.
Although relatively free, he has no right to speak in the divine world, and needs to depend on other god kings, and has to look at other people's eyes in all aspects.
Second option: Become a true God-King.
Although he will offend the God of Destruction, he can control the right to speak. The name of the God King will gain everything from all the gods.
The answer is obvious.
"..."
After a long silence, Tang San suddenly spoke.
"Senior, if I choose to transform the Tree of Life, how can I guarantee that I will get the status I deserve as a God King?"
"Beyond the God-King, there is also the restriction of the will of the God Realm. It is the supreme existence of the God Realm, and even our five God-Kings must abide by its rules."
"If you can solve the poison of faith in the God Realm, you will definitely gain the favor of the God Realm's will. By then, as the executor of the plan, your status will be unshakable."
"No matter how bad the relationship between the God of Destruction and you is, he can only recognize your identity."
"Senior, please teach me the method of transformation."
"I don't want Shura God to be in name only!"
Obviously, Tang San has made his choice.
Since the end of JYG's battle, Poseidon and Shura God Tang San, who defeated the Angel God and Rakshasa God and destroyed the Spirit Empire, have become the supreme beings believed by the people of Douluo Continent.
Its status is already higher than that of the two major empires.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Tang San, who was used to being the boss in Douluo Continent, now that he had the opportunity to inherit the status of Shura God King, he would naturally not give up. Even if it means offending the God of Destruction, he won’t hesitate!
"..."
God Shura was not surprised by Tang San's choice.
Therefore, God Shura gave Tang San the Tree of Life, and also taught him the method of transformation.
