Douluo Continent: Who exactly is my father?

"Great King of Slaughter, that's how it is. Mr. 8282, who wields the Haotian Hammer, has already gone to the Hell Slaughter Arena and is probably already engaged in battle." The Hell Messenger knelt respectfully on one knee, looking at the King of Slaughter sitting on the throne with a face full of respect.

Tang Chen has changed drastically. Even if Poseidon herself came, she would probably find it hard to believe that her former lover had fallen to such a state...

"Is that so?" The King of Slaughter took a sip of Bloody Mary and let out a satisfied sigh. Then, with a slight wave of his right hand, a ball of dark red flame floated to his front.

In the very center of the flames, a figure wielding the Clear Sky Hammer slowly emerged...

“The great King of Slaughter, it’s him…” The messenger of hell recognized Namikaze at first glance.

"Haotian Hammer?" The King of Slaughter narrowed his eyes. He couldn't help but observe carefully. With each swing of Bofeng's hammer, a dead soul would appear.

The King of Slaughter smiled slightly and murmured, "It seems to be your descendant..."

Immediately, the City of Slaughter drank the Bloody Mary from his glass and laughed, "Hell Messenger, continue to observe this person. If there is any disturbance, you must inform me as soon as possible."

"Yes, the great King of Slaughter."

After saying this, the messenger of hell bowed and quietly left...

After the messenger from hell left, the Slaughterer chuckled, "Tang Chen, I can sense that he should be your son. Even though this body doesn't belong to me, I... I still sensed the blood connection... Hehehe..."

Chapter 147 Two Gods in One

The battle in the Hell Slaughter Arena is raging. In the central battle arena, Bo Feng is covered in blood, and he has not stopped swinging his Clear Sky Hammer since he entered the inner city...

The Killing City is divided into inner and outer cities. The Fallen Ones in the outer city are generally weak, while the combat strength in the inner city is quite different. Along the way, all those that Bo Feng encountered, as well as those who ambushed him, were dealt with one by one.

With his unparalleled mastery of the Haotian Hammer technique, Bo Feng, as the son of Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, and Tang Chen, the Haotian Douluo, could not disgrace his parents' reputation. He had to fight; only through fighting could he achieve a hundred victories and see his father again.

"ah--"

With a long howl, Bo Feng sent the Clear Sky Hammer flying straight out of his hand. Under the despairing gaze of the last Fallen One, the Clear Sky Hammer smashed into his forehead without any surprise, and all sorts of things spilled onto the ground...

Too much killing had numbed Namikaze; he even grew to like it here, venting his inner discontent to his heart.

Secretly, the messenger of hell arrived quietly, under the orders of the King of Slaughter, and she focused on observing Bo Feng's every move.

The battle Namikaze had just fought was vividly etched in her mind. Namikaze's skills were in no way inferior to anyone else here. Soon, the City of Slaughter would have another god of death...

With each birth of a God of Slaughter, the City of Slaughter suffers heavy losses...

After finishing the battle, Namikaze returned to the registration area.

The person responsible for inputting personnel combat information instantly changed his expression the moment he received Namikaze's identity card. He looked up blankly at Namikaze, whose cold gaze and solemn killing intent made everyone around him keep their distance.

"Mr. 8282, you have already fought three battles today. Are you sure..." the person in charge said uncertainly. Bo Feng had won three battles in a row, and this was all in one day. This was unprecedented in the City of Slaughter. Given time, he would surely become the new "God of Slaughter" of the City of Slaughter.

"Register me."

These four short words revealed Bo Feng's resolute attitude. The Fallen Ones who were also queuing up to register behind him began to unconsciously take a step back, clearly intimidated by his imposing presence.

The sooner the battle is over, the sooner I can see my father and complete my mission. While acquiring the God of Slaughter Domain, I must bring my father back unharmed.

God Realm, inside Poseidon Temple.

"Will this method... work?" Asura God asked with a skeptical attitude.

Poseidon nodded calmly, "Shura, my method is unprecedented. As long as we use it properly, within a few years, Bofeng will surely pass our test and finally achieve the unity of the two gods!"

After thinking for a moment, the Asura God asked with a solemn expression, "But have you considered that arbitrarily altering spacetime could very well cause time disorder, and the situation on the continent would change drastically as a result? If handled improperly, we would ultimately be implicated as well."

"Therefore, the most crucial part of this process lies with Bofeng," Poseidon said confidently. "We'll create a spacetime rift so that Bofeng can travel back to the past. Before he goes back, we must deliberately seal a part of his memories. Only leave Bofeng's memories of Poseidon and Tang Chen; seal everything else."

"I've watched Namikaze grow up, and I'm genuinely happy for him as his strength increases day by day. Shura..."

The Sea God looked at the Asura God with regret, "We have all become gods and have endless lifespans, but the only ones who are loved ones by our side are gone. For tens of thousands of years since I ascended to the God Realm, I have been sitting here alone. I often think that if I had not conquered the sea, I would not have become the Sea God who is admired by all."

"Whenever I think about this, my heart begins to ache. A thought begins to emerge in my mind, a terrible thought."

"If I could... I wouldn't rather not become a god; I just want to be an ordinary person, forever with the one I love, and finally, grow old and die together..."

At this point, the God of Asura fell silent…

He looked at the sea god again, and the Asura God said, "Is this why you helped Namikaze even though you knew it violated the rules of the divine realm?"

The sea god nodded. "Indeed, to be honest, I really envy Poseidon. She has an excellent son and a husband who loves her deeply. They revere me, and as the sea god, the only thing I can do is reunite them as a family. Shura, this is not only for Bofeng, but also for me, and for yourself as well."

“We’ll send Namikaze back to the past, sealing away any irrelevant memories. We also need to keep a close eye on his movements. After he receives your Nine Trials of Asura, we’ll work together to pull Namikaze back from another timeline. This way, not only will your original successor be restored to his former state, but when he completes the Sea God’s Trial in the future, I can also perform a series of operations to deliberately lower the difficulty of the trial, allowing him to completely complete the divine trial and ultimately achieve the unity of two gods. At that time, we’ll both be free!”

After listening to the Sea God's account, the Asura God gritted his teeth and nodded firmly. The two gods then began a series of actions...

Meanwhile, Bo Feng, having finished a day of fighting in the Killing City, was covered in blood—not his, but that of his enemies.

He was strolling casually down the street, and the fallen ones passing by readily made way for him. They had all heard about Bo Feng's battles in the Hell's Killing Fields that day. The "Demon God," who had fought five battles in one day and won them all, quickly spread the word far and wide.

No one dares to provoke such a ruthless person easily. Therefore, everyone has long kept their distance to avoid being implicated and losing their lives for no reason.

Returning to her room in the killing city, Namikaze used the number plate in her hand to obtain her own bedroom as she wished. Living alone, a few dozen square meters was enough for her.

Exhausted, he collapsed onto the sofa, utterly unwilling to move. He looked up at the dark ceiling, his eyelids drooping involuntarily, and gradually, Namikaze slowly closed his eyes…

……

……

"Where am I? Where am I?"

To his astonishment, Bofeng found himself in a pitch-black space, surrounded by nothing but endless darkness...

He started to get anxious. He had just fallen asleep. Could this have been a dream?

"Hiss...it hurts!"

Bo Feng subconsciously pinched himself, confirming one thing for sure: this was no dream!

It's over, there's no going back!

Based on Namikaze's understanding of the Killing City, this place has never actually existed. Why is it that all the bad luck seems to befall him?

"Namikaze".

Suddenly, an extremely authoritative voice rang out...

Chapter 148 First Encounter with Shura, Goodbye, Namikaze

"Namikaze".

The newcomer was a man dressed in dark red magic-patterned armor. He was extremely handsome, and his imposing aura was overwhelming. This man was no ordinary person.

Namikaze cupped his hands and said, "Senior, who are you?"

The Asura God smiled slightly, "I am the Asura... God."

"What!" Bo Feng's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the Asura God standing before him. He was actually the Asura God, but... weren't gods supposed to be forbidden from descending to the mainland? How could this be?

"The God of Asura? You are the God of Asura!" Namikaze asked again in disbelief.

The God of Asura smiled and nodded, then stood before Namikaze. His imposing and solemn aura put Namikaze under immense pressure. The God of Asura, as the pinnacle of combat power in the divine realm, was no joke.

Do you know why I've come?

Namikaze shook his head…

"for you…"

"For me?" Namikaze was surprised. Although he had guessed it in his heart, he was still deeply surprised to be pointed it out to him by the God of Asura.

For me? Could it be... that the God of Asura has taken a liking to me?

"To tell you the truth, I have discussed with the Sea God and we plan to let you inherit both of our divine positions."

As expected... two gods in one body.

The sudden appearance of the Asura God had already surprised Namikaze. Now, he was being told that he would inherit two divine positions. Namikaze understood better than anyone what it meant to have two gods in one body.

Bofeng looked at the smiling Shura God and shook his head slightly. "I'm sorry, Shura God, I appreciate your and the Sea God's kindness, but I cannot agree to your request."

"Uh……"

Shura Shenxuan was stunned. Had Bo Feng gone mad? He could refuse the dual gods in one body. This move by the two gods was undoubtedly a pioneering move in the divine realm. Being valued by two gods was enough to prove that Bo Feng had outstanding talent.

"Namikaze...can you tell me your reasons?" Shura asked patiently. An incredible opportunity was right in front of him, and he really didn't understand why Namikaze would give it up so easily.

Bofeng shook his head in distress and said, "Lord Shura God, all I want to do right now is to restore my father to his original state, not to complete the divine trial. As my father's successor deity, you should be able to do it, right?"

Hearing what Bo Feng said, the God of Asura nodded affirmatively. "Your father's talent was exceptional. In just six years, he completed all seven of my trials. I even thought he could eventually complete all nine trials and successfully inherit my divine position. However, when your father faced the eighth trial, he was unexpectedly possessed by a blood-red nine-headed bat king. This was a contingency plan left by the God of Rakshasa. Its purpose was to ensure that my successor would never pose a threat to his successor."

"I understand everything you've said, Lord Asura God. If I have the power to restore my father to his original state, would you change your mind and allow him to smoothly inherit your divine position?"

Faced with Bo Feng's request, the God of Asura remained skeptical. This was a contingency plan left by the God of Rakshasa, and the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King was no pushover. As a god, Asura could not interfere in the affairs of Douluo Continent. Therefore, the God of Asura considered abandoning Tang Chen and passing the inheritance to his son. Furthermore, Bo Feng, possessing twin martial souls, had undeniable talent, which was evident to both gods.

The God of Asura sighed and said, "Namikaze, do you intend to use the Sea God's Crown, which contains the Sea God's Light, to save your father?"

Namikaze nodded without hesitation and said, "Lord Asura God, since you understand, then..."

Before Bofeng could finish speaking, Shura God interrupted, adding, "But have you considered that once your father returns to normal, his body will inevitably be unable to withstand the immense power, leading to..."

“I have already explained the pros and cons very clearly. I have discussed it with the Sea God and we plan to give you an opportunity, not only to help you rescue your father, but also to allow you to inherit our divine positions smoothly. Think about it.”

He knew he could inherit the dual divine positions and rescue his father, and he had a way. But Bo Feng was still conflicted. His father had spent most of his life searching for godhood, and they were so close to succeeding…

Forget it, let's hear what the Asura God has to say first.

"Lord Shura God, please speak..." Namikaze asked urgently.

The Asura God smiled and nodded, then condensed a dark red ball of light in his hand. Immediately afterwards, the Sea God's Crown worn by Bo Feng was also released as a ball of blue-gold light.

At the moment the two merged, a vortex-like formation was created, containing a great deal of lightning. Bofeng clearly felt the enormous energy contained within it.

"Lord Asura God, this is..."

Holy crap!

Before Namikaze could ask what was going on, Shura shoved him on the shoulder, and the force sent Namikaze tumbling into the crevice...

The Asura God laughed and said, "This is a time portal to the past, Bo Feng. You must remember one thing. Once you arrive in the past, you must go to the City of Slaughter as soon as possible. While you are obtaining the Nine Trials of Asura, I will also sense it. Finally, I will work together with the Sea God to pull you back to reality from the past."

"... "

"... "

"Namikaze, are you even listening to me?"

The Asura God looked around; it was pitch black. Where was Namikaze? Where did he go? Did he simply vanish into thin air?

"Shura, look what you've done!"
