Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

His breathing became extremely rapid, and his chest heaved violently!
"Grandfather! You mean..."

"Did you go to participate in God's tests during those decades you disappeared?!"

This news is a million times more shocking than hearing the words "God of Asura" earlier!
God's test!

No wonder they felt that the pressure from the ancestor was even more terrifying than that of Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall back then!
So, our ancestors had already reached that point!
The five elders were utterly shocked, their minds going completely blank.

They finally understood why their ancestor dared to say he was going to be reborn and settle accounts with the Spirit Hall.

It turns out that he already had the confidence to overthrow the Spirit Hall!
Tang Chen nodded slightly as he looked at Tang Xiao's excited expression.

Immediately, a look of extreme displeasure and helplessness flashed across his face.

"pity."

Tang Chen's tone carried a suppressed anger.

"Ultimately, at the crucial moment of the assessment, he was ambushed by the Nine-Headed Bat King!"

"This led to me being parasitized by that beast, trapped in the killing city, and living in a daze for decades."

Tang Chen's fists clenched so tightly they cracked at the thought.

He was invincible throughout the world, his cultivation over half a lifetime was earth-shattering, and he believed himself to be no weaker than anyone else.

Unexpectedly, they ended up being caught off guard and fell into the hands of a hairy beast!

What a shame!
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao and the other elders felt a pang of anxiety.

They could feel the overwhelming anger in their ancestors' words.

It turns out that our ancestors had encountered such a perilous change over the past few decades!
Being parasitized by a soul beast capable of ambushing demigods... what a terrifying existence that must be!

Tang Xiao composed himself and asked cautiously, "Then, grandfather, what are you now...?"

"It's all over now." Tang Chen waved his hand. "The parasite was removed not long ago."

"but……"

Tang Chen's expression turned somewhat strange.

"Although he failed the test, the God of Asura seems to have a new idea."

"He recognized Tang San's talent."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao was first stunned, then a surge of joy welled up in his heart!
"The God of Asura has taken a liking to the mistress?!"

"This...this is incredible news! Grandfather! Could it be that the youngest son has a chance..."

"A chance to inherit the divine throne?"

Tang Xiao's face turned red with excitement!

If Tang San can inherit the divine position, then the Haotian Sect will be more than just a rebirth.
That's the kind of ambition that will soar to the heavens and be immortal for all eternity!
However, Tang Chen's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Tang Xiao's head.

Tang Chen's expression showed a mixture of confusion and displeasure at being forced to take on a task.

He slowly said, "The God of Asura has taken a liking to Tang San's talent and hopes that I will assist him in passing the Sea God's test."

"..."

An eerie silence fell over the lobby once again.

Tang Xiao's face froze in ecstasy.

He blinked, seemingly processing the meaning behind his grandfather's words.

Assist Tang San...

Go to obtain...

The Sea God's Test?
Tang Xiao's mind didn't quite process what was happening for a moment.

He stared blankly at Tang Chen, his face full of confusion.

"grandfather……"

Tang Xiao carefully organized his thoughts, afraid of saying something wrong.

"Is there...is something wrong with this?"

Tang Chen glanced at him: "Hmm?"

Tang Xiao swallowed hard, mustered his courage, and voiced the most crucial logical problem.

"Grandfather, think about it..."

"Since he is the God of Asura, he must have taken a liking to Xiao San's talent..."

"Shouldn't the mistress be sent to participate in the Asura God Trial?"

"Why……"

"He wants you to assist the mistress in taking the Sea God's divine test?" "The Asura God and the Sea God aren't the same god, are they?"

Tang Xiao's voice grew softer as he spoke.

Tang Chen could only cough dryly, trying to save face.

"How can you mortals fathom the thoughts of God?"

"Lord Asura has his own profound meaning."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao nodded as if he understood but not quite.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao nodded as if he understood but not quite.

Although he still found it strange, since his grandfather had said so, he dared not ask any more questions.

None of this matters.

The important thing is that Grandpa is back!
The Haotian Sect is saved!
"cough."

Tang Chen cleared his throat, his expression suddenly becoming extremely serious.

Even deep in his eyes, there was a hint of barely perceptible urgency.

He slowly began to speak: "I was parasitized by that beast for decades. Although the Asura God helped me escape, it also damaged my very essence."

"I only have ten years left to live."

boom--!
These words were like another thunderbolt striking Tang Xiao's head.

"what?!"

Tang Xiao was struck dumb, completely stunned, and cried out in shock!

"Grandfather! You...you've only just returned! Ten years...how is that possible?!"

The ancestor has just returned, and the hope for the Haotian Sect has just begun to emerge.

It turns out that my grandfather only had ten years left!
"Why panic!"

Tang Chen gave a reprimand, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"I'm not dead yet."

Tang Xiao was forced to suppress his shock and grief after being shouted at.

His eyes were red-rimmed, and he bit his lip tightly, not daring to say another word.

Tang Chen continued, "Therefore, we are very pressed for time."

"The God of Asura asked me to assist Tang San in becoming a god. This is both the task He gave me and my only way to survive."

"If the mistress eventually becomes a god, then as his protector, I can take this opportunity to ascend to the divine realm with her."

A strong desire to live shone in Tang Chen's eyes.

"Once you reach the realm of gods, lifespan will no longer be an issue."

"At that time, our Haotian Sect will truly have a deity as our backer!"

"The Spirit Hall? What does it amount to!"

After hearing these words, Tang Xiao finally understood the seriousness of the matter.

Grandfather's life and Tang San's path to godhood are now completely intertwined!
This is not just about my grandfather's life or death, but also about the future of the entire Haotian Sect!

Tang Xiao said solemnly, "Grandfather! I understand! No matter what, we will do everything in our power to support Xiao San!"

Tang Chen took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

To be favored by the God of Asura and the God of the Sea, one must be exceptionally talented.

After all, it takes ten years to transform from a mortal to a god, which is no easy feat.

"Tell me about the mistress's situation."

Tang Chen tried to keep his tone calm; he needed to assess the difficulty of the task.

"How far has he gotten?"

"How far are we from becoming a Soul King?"

In his mind, a child who could be favored by the gods must be at least level 30 or even approaching level 40, right?

After all, time waits for no one.

Ten years to go from Soul Master to Godhood—it's an exaggeration, but with some effort, it seems...maybe...probably...not bad?
P.S.: There was a mistake earlier. It said that Tang San was 11 years old when he became a Soul Master, which was wrong. I remembered that the protagonist Tang San was 3 years old, but he is actually 6 years younger.

I'll revise the previous text when I have time, sorry!
But surprisingly, no one noticed. So sad~~ (End of Chapter)
