Just as she was about to defect, Bibi Dong obtained a simulator.

Chapter 27 Becoming a God
"Where did all these gods come from?"

Bibi Dong originally thought that there weren't many gods on this continent, apart from the Rakshasa God, the Angel God, and the Asura God of the Slaughter City, there weren't many.

But Tang San's sudden rise to become a successor of a god after only a few years was beyond Bibi Dong's imagination, and her already not-so-good brain seemed to rust.

[While Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi were both present, Tang San cut to the chase and asked you something.]

His current confident and triumphant demeanor clearly stems from the many good things he has acquired over the years, giving him ample confidence.

If you were still the crown prince, you might have felt a sense of kinship with him.

But now Tang San has forged an unbreakable feud with the Spirit Hall, and you already have someone you love.

Seeing the sinister look and murderous intent on Tang San's face, you suppressed your displeasure and recounted how you had unexpectedly obtained the divine position over the years, barely managing to fool the three of them.

[You release your disguised Swan Martial Soul, condensing its warm and luminous divine power, and let Tang San feel it.]

Sensing this energy, Tang San finally began to trust you a little. After all, someone who possesses such warm divine power must be a good god.

To find out what other tricks the opponent had up their sleeve, you inquired about Tang San's past.

However, his very first sentence left you speechless.

The opportunity that allowed Tang San to inherit a divine position was actually the Vast Ocean Universe Cover that automatically flew into his palm many years ago.

After receiving information about the divine succession, Tang San bid farewell to the Tang Sect's higher-ups and then traveled alone to the place of inheritance: Seagod Island.

The woman in front of the simulator mechanically scrolled through the text, feeling as if her understanding had been severely shaken.

"How come you get all the good things? Other people's national treasures have been passed down for so many years and no one has discovered them, but they become artifacts for the inheritance of divine status in your hands?"

Bibi Dong, who was pondering whether there really were destined protagonists in this world, eventually gave up on thinking about it.

"Never mind, let's finish watching this simulation first."

Tang San talked endlessly about his feelings, but remained completely silent about his divine trial.

[Your hands, hidden beneath the imperial robes, clenched tightly, wishing you could kill Tang San, who hadn't yet become a god, right now, but your lack of strength remained your pain.]

As night fell, you handed everything over to Ci Xue, who was once again disguised as Xue Qinghe, and returned alone to Wuhun City, eager to complete the final test and kill Tang San as soon as possible.

[You arrived at the Hall of Offerings on the evening of the second day. Seeing you covered in dust from your journey, your grandfather did not immediately agree to let you begin the final test.]

He lets you wash up and rest in peace, and finally watches you fall asleep at night, just like he did for you when you were a child.

Despite your immense anxiety, you drifted off to sleep to his soothing words.

[You wake up feeling a sense of ease you haven't felt in years, as if all your weariness has been washed away, and you've entered a brand new life.]

Your grandfather gently stroked your head, then led you to the place where you would undergo the final test.

"Pfft."

Even though it was a very sad and emotional part, Bibi Dong still laughed.

"I don't know why, but every time I see that old man Qian Daoliu is gone, I feel inexplicably happy. Maybe it's because he did too many stupid things, and even the angel god couldn't stand it anymore."

Bibi Dong couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and in her heart, she still wanted to push all the blame onto Qian Daoliu.

But she could only smile in the Papal Palace. When it came time for Qian Renxue to take the final test, she couldn't help but laugh.

Then Qian Renxue would probably really become her enemy. Thinking of this, Bibi Dong suppressed her laughter and continued to look at the future.

Just as you were getting excited, you saw your grandfather's body begin to be consumed by golden flames and become ethereal, while powerful streams of soul energy flowed into the statue in front of you.

Because the Temple of Angels is located in the endless starry sky, the true Ninth Trial can only be initiated by sacrificing the guardians of the gods.

He burned his body and soul, solely to help you become a god.

The pain in your heart is incredibly intense, yet this irreversible sacrifice leaves you helpless.

He wanted to touch you, but withdrew his hand because of the flames engulfing him. You endured the burning pain and grabbed him.

His face remained kind; in the end, all you held in your hand was that familiar soul power.

Your grandfather's soul power transformed into a golden bridge, leading to the temple portal located in the starry sky.

You forced back your sorrow and stepped forward, approaching step by step the place that belonged to the gods.

[At every step, you'll see someone who has touched you over the years appear.]

The first is your mother, who now appears with a ferocious, blue face, roaring that you are her shame and pain.

The second is Xue Qinghe, who had already died. His face was pale, and his body floated in the air, questioning why you killed him.

The third person was your grandfather, but he didn't say a word, only staring at you with disappointed eyes.

One by one, they circled around you—those who loved you, those who hated you, those you killed, those who wanted to kill you—crying out in anguish, each word a desperate attempt to hinder your ascent.

You cover your ears with your hands, but the sound still penetrates everywhere.

Soon, you found yourself unable to hold on any longer. The resentment, fear, and anger hidden deep within you surged forth like a volcano about to erupt, its final calm masking a terrifying storm.

Just as you were shouting angrily, they laughed, surging forward like vengeful ghosts, countless faces crowded together, all shouting the same thing.

You are not worthy! You are not worthy to be a god!

They smashed the golden bridge piece by piece, plunging you into an endless abyss.

You look up at the remaining bridge, and see those faces, all different from the ones you see before you.

Just when you thought your ordeal was over, the feeling of falling suddenly stopped.

[You feel a touch on your back, turn your head, and see your mother, grandfather, and Xia Yu again.]

They emanated a light that dispelled the chill from your body; they spoke words of encouragement, not venomous curses or despairing silence.

With a gentle pull, they led you back to the broken bridge.

As the twisted monster charged again, you slowly turned around, and that gentle smile still bloomed behind you.

[The angelic sword appears in your hand, six wings sprout from your back, and with a single swing, the fear in your heart vanishes along with the monster.]

In the blink of an eye, the golden bridge is still before you, and surging within it is the soul power of your grandfather.

[You've only taken the first step, but your heart has already reached the summit.]

Those three voices hidden deep within your heart tell you...

You will eventually become a god!
