Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 378 Forcing the Emperor to Abdicate (10,000 words per day)

Meanwhile, in the realm of the gods, at the Temple of the Sea God.

At this moment, Tang San was sitting upright on the Sea God's throne, his eyes closed, his eyebrows furrowed, and a shadowy look on his face.

The fact that some of the surveillance measures he had set up had been dismantled made him feel extremely uneasy; he sensed that the situation was increasingly spiraling out of his control.

"It's alright. Shrek Academy still has the Golden Tree as a backup plan. As for Wu Tong's backup plan, everything will be fine as long as she returns to the Clear Sky Sect."

Tang San's knuckles slowly tapped his divine throne, and his previously somewhat unpleasant expression gradually relaxed.

Just then, a mysterious feeling entered Tang San's heart.

"Such intense killing intent, such complex killing aura! Has another prodigy emerged on the Douluo Continent qualified to receive the Asura inheritance?"

Tang San's expression turned cold, and he subconsciously wanted to subject the other party to a divine test that was completely impossible to complete.

Over the past ten thousand years, there have indeed been more than one prodigy on the Douluo Continent who was qualified to receive the Asura inheritance, but none of them even managed to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain.

The more tests there are, the easier each test becomes. Therefore, Tang San usually only issues three divine tests, using extremely difficult tests to forcibly eliminate the inheritors.

I claimed that my qualifications were insufficient. I wanted to pass on the Asura Godhood, but I also had to be responsible for it. I put a divine test on every qualified successor to the Asura Godhood. I absolutely did not have any intention of not wanting to pass on the Godhood.

"Oh no, how could he be the chosen one?"

Tang San's hand, which was about to issue the divine test, froze in place. If it were any other prodigy, he could forcefully eliminate them even if it was only the first test, but he really had no confidence in the chosen one.

[Asura God Trial - First Trial: Reach level 99 Limit Douluo before the age of thirty.]

[Reward: God of Slaughter Domain.]

Tang San was able to successfully inherit the position of the Asura God thanks to the Sea God's divine test and his twin martial souls. He broke through to level 99 before the age of 30, which greatly reduced the upper limit of the difficulty of the subsequent divine test. In addition, the Asura God deliberately went easy on him, which is why he was able to inherit the position of the Asura God so quickly.

In fact, the minimum requirement to inherit the Asura Godhood is to reach level 99 before the age of 100. However, if this is the case, the difficulty of the latter two tests will increase dramatically, which is one of the reasons why Tang Chen failed to inherit the Godhood.

However, in reality, he has not been able to use the power of the Asura God at will until now. The mental power in the power of the Asura God is too crazy. All kinds of mental power related to killing will be absorbed by the Asura God position along with the birth of the act of killing.

Unless Tang San could accept having such insane thoughts filling his mind every night, he wouldn't dare to use the power of the Asura God's position casually.

"Judgment! Judgment!"

"Eat the flesh of the barbarians, drink their blood, and build a mound of skulls!"

"Skull offered to the skull seat, blood sacrificed to the blood god!"

"Heaven creates all things to nourish humankind, yet humankind has done no good to repay Heaven. Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Some call this practice of completely annihilating intelligent life and preserving only inorganic matter an evil war crime; we call it efficiency.

"The highest respect for a civilization is to exterminate it completely!"

"Just cut off everything taller than the wheel. What are you doing? Quickly, stand the wheel upright!"

Regardless of good or evil, all beliefs held during the killing will converge into streams of mental energy during the killing and enter the Asura God's position. Even the first Asura God could only purify a portion of the understanding of killing within these mental energy streams before slowly absorbing them.

Otherwise, within three years, the first generation of Asura God will also become the Asura God as perceived by these mental powers. Various perceptions of killing will impact the Asura God's own will, completely shattering his original understanding.

As for Tang San, unless necessary, he would rather honestly absorb the mental power of his Sea God position.

After all, most people pray to the sea god simply that he is a kind deity who can bless them with good weather when they go out to sea to fish. This is much gentler than those mental powers that are more insane than madness and more violent than tyranny.

This is also why the negative gods in the divine realm are not quite normal. No matter who it is, dealing with all kinds of extreme emotions every day will eventually break them. In the eyes of these negative gods, some of their followers are much more extreme than themselves!

You're being a bit too extreme. If you weren't unqualified, you should come and take my place as soon as possible.

Just as Tang San was hesitating whether to cast a divine test on the Chosen One, several dark figures appeared in front of his Sea God Temple, and several more dark figures were rapidly approaching the location of the Sea God Temple.

"Oh no, it's the chosen one again!"

Tang San clenched his fists tightly. He should have realized it sooner. The unusually complex killing intent was filled with various negative emotions. It must be because these original sin gods and evil gods had given divine revelation to the child of destiny for some reason, which led to this situation.

Fortunately, he had already set up a restriction on the Douluo Continent that other gods could not see.

However, how to get rid of these guys who came to force their way in is a problem.

He had been planning for the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years. If these people were to notice him at the crucial moment and discover something they shouldn't know, it would be a huge problem for him.

If the group of first-level gods who came to force him to abdicate were just righteous gods, he might have been able to suppress them. But unfortunately, those who came to his door were all original sin gods and evil gods under the command of the evil god king.

No, we absolutely cannot allow the chosen one to undergo divine trials. Even if he does undergo a divine trial, it can only be a trial by a true god.

Thinking of this, a flicker of interest flashed in Tang San's eyes.

Since the first test of the Asura God might not be able to stop the chosen one, he relaxed the difficulty of the first and second tests and put the most difficult test in the third test.

The Asura inheritance, which originally only had three trials, was already far more difficult than the nine trials required for other divine positions. If he further relaxed the difficulty of the first two trials, the difficulty of the third trial would be absolutely insurmountable.

In this way, he could also use this opportunity to shut up the mouths of these gods who came to force him to abdicate. He had waited for ten thousand years and finally found a suitable successor to the Asura God position. Naturally, the negative gods under the evil god king would no longer have an excuse to covet the Douluo Continent.

Once I get rid of these negative gods, what problem is there if I don't subject myself to divine trials? Dealing with the Mother of All Spirits and then a mere Child of Destiny will be a piece of cake.

If Huo Yuhao is sensible at that time, he wouldn't even mind bestowing upon him the second-level War God position of his ancestor Dai Mubai. As for the first-level God position, that would depend on Huo Yuhao's loyalty.
