Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 341 A Blow of Pure and Immaculate Beauty

"Evil, good, what happened?"

You hear his voice before you see him.

As the doors to the Divine Realm Council's meeting room slowly opened, the God of Destruction, shrouded in a wide purple robe, stepped in first, his face beneath the hood looking utterly ashen.

"How long has it been since the last incident? How can another deity die?"

"We just received the news ourselves."

The Goddess of Evil, Ji Dong, looked somewhat solemn: "The one who died was the Nine-Colored Goddess. According to my and Lie Yan's investigation, she just perished in the inheritance ground that connects to the Douluo plane."

"The Nine-Colored Goddess?"

The Goddess of Life paused for a moment, then quickly recalled the deity's origins: "Is she the second-level deity who applied to go to the Land of Inheritance to choose a successor? Wasn't she Tang San's companion who came to the God Realm with him back then?"

"right."

Lieyan nodded slightly and continued to fill in the information that Ji Dong had not finished saying.

"Every place of inheritance is a space that connects the divine realm and the lower realm. There are no dangers that could threaten the lives of gods, and even living beings may not be there."

"Furthermore, considering that the Nine-Colored Goddess has little combat power, Tang San, one of the three enforcers, also sent a wisp of his divine soul to accompany her to the Land of Inheritance under the guise of protection and supervision. Logically speaking, the fall of a deity should not have occurred..."

After finishing his analysis, Blazing Flame took a deep breath, looked at the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, whose expressions had also become somewhat solemn, and stated his conclusion.

"Therefore, Ji Dong and I speculate that the Nine-Colored Goddess may have encountered an unknown and powerful deity in the Land of Inheritance."

"...An unknown and powerful deity?"

The God of Destruction subconsciously exchanged a glance with the Goddess of Life beside him, somewhat unconvinced.

It's not unheard of for a second-level deity to die in the lower realm. Even if this was indeed the work of an unknown wild god in the lower realm, its strength wouldn't even register with these god-kings.

Just like the newly appointed God of Goodness, Lieyan, who once turned the tables on a second-level deity, in terms of talent alone, Lieyan is indeed worthy of their high regard.

But before inheriting the position of the God of Goodness, she was ultimately just a wild god whose life was arbitrarily controlled by the two old god-kings of good and evil, and who was forced to become the subject of their wager.

And most importantly, the deceased deity was Tang San's companion!

Upon learning this news, the God of Destruction felt his gloomy mood vanish, replaced by unparalleled joy.

Although it's still uncertain whether this matter has anything to do with Tang San, that doesn't stop him from causing trouble for his long-time rival.

"The specifics are still unknown, so don't jump to conclusions. Don't forget what happened with Titan before; perhaps all of this was caused by that Nine-Colored Goddess herself."

"..."

Isn't the Land of Inheritance supposed to be completely empty?

Where are you going to go and cause trouble for yourself?

Even if the Nine-Colored Goddess caused trouble in the lower realm, what kind of trouble could possibly be able to chase her all the way to a godforsaken place like the Land of Inheritance and kill her?

Although they felt that the possibility was not high, considering that the God of Destruction had always been at odds with Tang San, Ji Dong and Lie Yan tacitly kept quiet and continued to offer their opinions.

"Should we summon Tang San back first and ask him what's going on?"

"No," the God of Destruction shook his head in refusal.

"Even if a second-level deity dies, they can be resurrected through the divine mark. Please revive the Nine-Colored Goddess now, and we will directly question the person involved."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Ji Dong and Lie Yan exchanged a strange glance.

They're determined to find fault with Tang San!

After a brief hesitation, and with the idea of ​​not getting involved in factional struggles and not taking sides, the two did not refuse.

Anyway, they just kept their heads down and did their work; the final result had nothing to do with them.

Moreover, rather than believing Tang San's one-sided account, it's definitely better to ask Ning Rongrong, the person directly involved, about this matter.

"Please wait a moment, we will begin the resurrection of the Nine-Colored Goddess now."

Ji Dong took a deep breath and intertwined his fingers with Lie Yan beside him. As black and white light emerged from their bodies and intertwined, a bizarre and fantastical world projection appeared in front of them.

After waiting in silence for a moment, Ji Dong suddenly shouted and stretched out his palm towards the light screen in front of him.

As ripples spread from the void, he searched incessantly, as if trying to retrieve something from those world projections.

But gradually, his expression became serious.

Only when he dejectedly withdrew his empty hand did he murmur in disbelief.

"How is this possible..."

The goddess of life asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"I don't know, and I've never encountered anything like this before..."

Ji Dong opened his mouth somewhat blankly, as if he didn't know how to describe it. After stammering for a long time, he finally spoke with a hint of unease in his voice.

"The Nine-Colored Goddess's position... is gone."

……

"...Is this also an effect of the Seed of the Plane?"

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the scene before him with a somewhat dazed expression.

Suddenly, the Eye of Destiny on his forehead opened silently, and a verdant vine shot out straight from it, piercing through Ning Rongrong's frantically struggling soul, binding it tightly while continuously extracting something from it.

After a brief sensing, he understood that it was about extracting a divine position.

Or rather, it was a seed of the Douluo plane, a seed of the Devouring God Realm.

Unlike the normal lower realms, although the divine realm also has seeds of planes, these seeds are not concentrated on a single individual, but are distributed among the many deities of the divine realm in the form of divine positions.

The only difference is that the plane seed held by the second-level deities is smaller and cannot play a significant role, while the plane seed held by the five members of the God Realm Committee with the strength of God Kings is larger and can represent the God Realm to do more things to some extent.

Although such cases are few, they are not uncommon in the vast universe. For example, there are those planes that advocate the survival of the fittest, rely on devouring other planes for survival, and are known as the Abyss.

They often bestow their own dimensional seed upon those super-strong individuals, granting them the ability to return to their own dimension and be reborn even if they die in another world.

Just as the second-level deities in the divine realm can be resurrected by two god-kings, one good and one evil, through the branding of their divine positions, in essence, there is no difference in the way the two are realized.

But now, Ning Rongrong's share of the dimensional seed has been completely devoured. This not only means that the Nine-Colored Goddess's position as a second-level deity will cease to exist, but also that she will have no chance of being resurrected after her death.

At the same time, this also means that the Seed of the God Realm will completely lose the part of Ning Rongrong. It is no exaggeration to say that this is an even more serious accident than when Tang San defeated the Rakshasa God and the Angel God, causing their divine positions to collapse.

Perhaps for the vast size of the God Realm, losing a Plane Seed held by a second-level deity is not a great loss, but such an extremely serious event is the first of its kind to occur even in the entire history of the God Realm.

This is also why the evil god Ji Dong's expression changed drastically after discovering the situation.

"What are you doing?"

Clearly sensing her divine status rapidly slipping away, Ning Rongrong's soul erupted in violent fluctuations: "No...please...please give it back to me."

Although she didn't know how Huo Yuhao did it, she understood that if things continued like this, she might not even have the chance to be resurrected in the future.

Unfortunately, the white-haired boy remained deep in thought, showing no intention of paying any attention to her.

To be honest, what he was seeing was quite unexpected.

He naturally hadn't forgotten that a second-level deity could be resurrected in the divine realm. To prevent such a thing from happening, he originally planned to use the Fated Death directly to send Ning Rongrong to eternal silence, never to be resurrected again.

Although his current mental strength is not enough to overcome such a huge gap in cultivation and kill a second-level god, Ning Rongrong's physical life force has been cut off, and he only needs to spend a relatively small amount of money to destroy her soul.

However, despite his well-thought-out plan, the moment he activated the Eye of Destiny, the Dimensional Seed in his spiritual space took the initiative to attack, instinctively devouring Ning Rongrong's divine position.

However, this may not necessarily be a bad thing. At least in Huo Yuhao's opinion, Ning Rongrong, who now only has her soul left, is very likely to agree to sign the master-servant contract.

The reason he didn't mention this before was because he had hardly thought about it.

Don't be fooled by her tearful and desperate cries when facing death, saying she'd do anything for you.

Given the possibility of being resurrected in the future, this nine-colored goddess would never agree to sign a master-servant contract.

As one of the few beings in the God Realm capable of resurrecting gods, she was well aware of her importance in Tang San's heart.

He also knew very well that if he were to perish, Tang San of the God Realm would do everything in his power to ask the two God Kings, one evil and one good, to resurrect him.

But now that her divine position has been stripped away, things are different. She has no way out; there is no third option but death or compromise.

Moreover, in terms of the role she can play, Ning Rongrong is definitely no less capable than Tang San's mother, Ah Yin. Although her combat power is equally worrisome, Huo Yuhao had personally witnessed how powerful the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's auxiliary abilities were after she became a god.

Furthermore, given the incident at Wenqing Valley, he could almost foresee that Tang San from the God Realm and the remaining Seven Devils would be enraged, and it was even possible that they would personally descend to the mortal realm to deal with him.

In a situation where a crisis could arise at any moment, even having a little more combat power to fight it off is beneficial.

As the divine position symbolizing the Nine-Colored Goddess was completely emptied, the vines extending from the Seed of the Plane slowly retracted, and the abundant life energy within even dyed Huo Yuhao's rose-gold spiritual space a vibrant emerald green.

Having made his decision, Huo Yuhao, who had no time to ponder the purpose of this life energy, slowly raised his head and looked at Ning Rongrong, whose figure was ethereal and who trembled with fear upon meeting his gaze.

"It seems you have a clear understanding of your situation. I am pleased to inform you that you now have another option besides death."

"No, don't kill me..."

With no more pretense in mind, Ning Rongrong, who was on the verge of collapse, felt as if she had grasped at a last straw when she heard that she might have a chance to live. She spoke earnestly.

"You can name any conditions you want, and I will do my best to meet them..."

Before she could finish speaking, Huo Yuhao handed her a parchment scroll with an ancient design that made her subconsciously feel resistant.

Along with it came the boy's cold words, like a demon tricking an ignorant person into selling their soul.

"Then sign it. Trade your body, your soul, and everything you own for a chance to live."

Gazing at Ning Rongrong's suddenly stiff face, he uttered the same words he had spoken to A Yin back then.

"From this day forward, everything you have will belong to me."

……

"A deep adventure begins. Mission objective: The Battle of the Shark Whale."

"Ten thousand years ago, in order to protect countless creatures in the ocean, the Sea God Tang San resolutely chose to fight to the death against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who was also only one step away from becoming a god, on the eve of his ascension to godhood. He ultimately won and successfully killed this evil soul beast that was threatening the entire marine ecosystem."

"However, to this day, the wife and daughters of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King have forgotten that ten thousand years ago, they were able to survive only because of the mercy of the Sea God Tang San. Unrepentant, they have once again stirred up trouble in the sea, seriously endangering the safety of other marine creatures. In order to maintain the good ecological environment of the ocean, they must be punished."

"Mission Requirements: Assist the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan in slaying the daughter of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and ensure the Demon Soul Great White Shark King's safety."

"This round of deep adventure is a real-world scenario. During the assessment, whether you are injured or die, it will be reflected in your physical body. In addition, if you fail the assessment, the penalty is death. If you succeed, the reward is to unlock the Sea God's divine position inheritance - the Nine Trials of the Sea God."

"...?"

Tang and his two companions were dumbfounded.

Feeling the pure and pristine quality emanating from the words, his mood was inexplicably complicated.

For no apparent reason, he suddenly felt that the news was somewhat hypocritical and even somewhat disgusting.

If he weren't actually the Sea God Tang San mentioned in the message, I might have actually believed this guy's nonsense.

Damn it, the wife and daughter of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King are stirring up trouble in the sea?

How come he didn't know this in his past life?!

Moreover, when he first became a god, he didn't even know that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had a wife and daughter. So where did this idea of ​​"surviving by chance because of the mercy of the Sea God Tang San" come from?

Does such a hypocritical and foolish person deserve to be called Tang San?

Sure enough, that guy was just relying on his God-King cultivation level; he wasn't worthy of being compared to him at all.

However, Tang San naturally dared not say these things directly.

Although the task is bizarre, it is actually not that difficult.

Based on her past life's experience, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife is currently in the critical stage of digesting the whale pearl and has no time to attend to anything else.

Furthermore, the mission only requires dealing with the smaller one, and with Xiaobai's help, taking down the smaller one shouldn't be too difficult.

So... it can work!
