In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 174 The Nine Trials of a Special Time and Space (Part 2)

"And you, Wang Zhao."

"From the moment you were discovered by the universe, no matter how special your origins may be, you are surrounded by pure spacetime elements, which is indisputable. If it weren't for the mystery of your spiritual sea and the fact that the universe did not witness the entire process of your birth, I believe I would not have any doubt that you are a primordial being born again in this universe after countless epochs."

"That being said, since the establishment of the divine realm, no primordial beings have appeared in the universe..."

After listening to the God of Space's explanation, Wang Zhao felt some understanding but also had more questions. However, he finally said:

"So, how should I address you?"

The God of Space paused, then smiled.

"We call you Third Brother, so you should naturally call us Brother. I'm your Second Brother, and Zhou is your Eldest Brother. Say hello to Him, even though He's a bit of a taciturn guy."

That's when they started calling each other brothers...

Wang Zhao's mood was somewhat strange at this moment. What was this? Suddenly there were two more big brothers, and their legs were even thicker than Qianjun Gongfeng's.

hiss!

Am I, Wang, someone who would willingly serve as a subordinate to others?

"Big brother, second brother."

He then quickly replied.

"Um."

The God of Space nodded amiably, and the God of Time, though still silent, nodded to Wang Zhao in agreement.

Wang Zhao and the God of Space chatted for a while longer, dispelling some of the awkwardness and distance between them, before getting down to business.

"How do you plan to proceed regarding the so-called inheritance of the God of Time and Space?"

Wang Zhao asked.

He had no objection to inheriting the godhood. Not to mention that, according to the two gods of time and space, the godhood after the combination of time and space would at least be at the level of God King, which was not bad in the entire Douluo Universe. His abilities would also be unparalleled and unpredictable. If he encountered danger, whether it was to save his own life or to escape with others, he would be unmatched in the world. He, "Wang Paopao," was very impressed with this.

As for the issue of the constraints of godhood that countless protagonists in Douluo Continent fanfiction were concerned about in his previous life, Wang Zhao felt that it was nothing. In any case, the lower limit of the spacetime godhood was very high, and the upper limit could be said to have unlimited potential. He had nothing to complain about. Even if he became a god in the future, he might get tired of the endless lifespan one day, or encounter the problem of godhood becoming a constraint on his own strength. Then he would deal with it when the time came.

Anyway, just enjoy the present moment. If you ask for too much more, you're just being unrealistic.

"Nine examinations".

The God of Space responded at this moment.

"It concerns the succession of divine positions, so undergoing the Nine Trials is necessary; it's a rule of the divine realm. However, Zhou and I are capable of manipulating the content of the Nine Trials reasonably without exceeding the limits."

"As for the place of inheritance, neither Zhou nor I have set up a place of inheritance in the world, nor is it necessary, because what you are about to inherit is the Godhood of Time and Space. Any location in the world can be your place of inheritance, and you can conduct divine trials anytime and anywhere."

Wang Zhao nodded, then asked, "What are the contents of the Nine Examinations?"

The God of Space did not reply, but a magnificent divine voice quickly resounded in Wang Zhao's mind.

"Dong, the Nine Trials of Time and Space have officially begun."

At the same time, a faint golden and silver divine light flickered between Wang Zhao's brows. It had no specific shape, but was vague and indistinct, as if time and space were trapped within it, and soon disappeared.

"A test of time and space: Reduce Tang San's luck by 5%."

"Assessment Reward: 5% Spacetime Affinity, Awakening of Exclusive Spacetime Godhood Inherited Martial Soul".

"?"

Immediately, Wang Zhao's mind was filled with doubt.

Reduce Tang San's luck? What kind of test is this? Also, what's the deal with awakening a unique Time-Space Godhood Inheritance Martial Soul?

Seemingly sensing Wang Zhao's confusion, the God of Space, without waiting for him to ask, took the initiative to explain, saying:

"The overall content of the Nine Trials is quite simple. In the end, you just need to completely suppress Tang San and reduce his luck to 0%."

"How to reduce it?"

"This includes, but is not limited to, intercepting his opportunities, destroying his talents, and leading him down the path of depravity and madness. However, as long as someone is alive, their luck will never be zero, so your ultimate mission will be to make Tang San die and disappear."

Wang Zhao paused.

"You should know that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape that I'm expected to deal with a year from now—these were all originally opportunities that belonged to Tang San. Now that I've intercepted them, doesn't that count as a certain percentage reduction in his luck?"

"Of course it counts."

The God of Space nodded.

"However, because the timeline has changed ahead of schedule, in order to prevent any being from noticing anything, all your achievements will have to be settled at the corresponding time. For example, when Tang San arrives at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well according to the normal timeline in the future, the influence and changes you participated in will be transformed into the progress of weakening Tang San's luck."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao understood.

In other words, Tang San's progress will only be calculated if he was originally supposed to befriend Dugu Bo and undergo the Ice and Fire Refinement of the Golden Body, but that didn't happen; or if he was originally supposed to be "forced" to accept the sacrifices of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, but that didn't happen either.

From this perspective...

I'll have to take my time and teach that little bastard a lesson.

Hehehe~

The topic returned to the divine examination.

"What about the affinity for spacetime and the awakening of the exclusive spacetime divine position inherited martial soul?"

Wang Zhao then asked.

"The spacetime affinity was originally yours, but because you are now a reincarnated being, you cannot directly manifest it. After discussion, Zhou and I decided to use the form of a divine test reward to help you gradually manifest the spacetime affinity you already possess, and even enhance it on the original basis, so that you can better inherit the spacetime godhood after the fusion in the future."

"As for the so-called exclusive spacetime martial soul awakening, the purpose is also to protect your divine position inheritance. However, I cannot tell you the specifics now. You will know in the future. The supreme spacetime and destiny will guide you on the path of cultivation."

"If you think about it, it shouldn't take too long."

The God of Space kept everyone in suspense.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao couldn't help but purse his lips.

Not long after?

Who knows, in the eyes of you gods who have lived for who knows how long, for whom the passage of time has lost its meaning, not long is not long.

I'm afraid there's not much difference between a fleeting moment and a decade passing in the blink of an eye.

Of course, Wang Zhao didn't ask any more questions; what was meant to happen would happen eventually.

Even though he hasn't truly become the God of Time and Space yet, his personality already shows a certain indifference to the leisurely pace of time and space.

Afterwards, Wang Zhao inquired about some details and secrets concerning the God Realm from the Two Gods of Time and Space, especially about Tang San and the Asura God, Rakshasa God, and Angel God, as well as matters related to cultivation. Before long, it was time to leave.
